Fan Bingbing: Profile - Biography

AKA: Fan Bingbing (范冰冰)
Born: September 16, 1981 (Qingdao, Shandong province, China)
Talent: Acting, having her own business and confident
Income: Climbing

A graduate of Shanghai Theater Academy China, Fan Bingbing (范冰冰) first made a name for herself in the supporting role of Jinsuo (金鎖) in the Taiwanese TV sitcom Huan Zhu Ge Ge (Princess Pearl, 還珠格格) in 1998, which also featured Vicki Zhao (赵薇) and Ruby Lin (林心如).

Her bold acting in the 2007 film Ping Guo (Apple, 苹果), aka Lost in Beijing — which depicts sex and gambling — gained her international recognition. The film had its premiere at the 2007 Berlin International Film Festival.

She set up her own company in 2007 to produce TV dramas and serves as the honorary principal at the Fan Bingbing Film and TV School she established in Beijing.

Fan has become one of the best-known actresses in China and not always for good reasons. These include temper tantrums with other actresses and reporters.

Her exposure in the international media was greatly boosted after she walked the red carpet at the 63rd Cannes Film Festival on May 12, 2010, in the unique “Dragon Robe” she part-designed.

Faced with criticism that she showed overweening ambition, as the attire is associated with an empress, she imperiously said of her principal critic: “After all, she doesn’t wear my Dragon Robe.”
