Chen Man and Li Bingbing got together again with "Harper's Bazaar" picking up the tab and getting a striking set of images that pay homage to Hollywood. LBB was an action heroine, an Audrey Hepburn/Natalie Wood temptress and as Michelle Pfieffer as the mysterious Countess Olenska--with, perhaps, Chow Yun Fat at his oleaginous best as Newland Archer.

Cool! I really like that last ad.
ReplyDeleteI almost wish that Chen Man would try her hands at a movie, but I know that a knack with images doesn't always translate into telling a good story.
