Woo-woo Tang: China aGong at Li's bosom
BBC reports that Gong Li's cleavage is the buzz of Beijing upon the opening weekend of Curse of the Golden Flower, Zhang Yimou's $45 million Tang Dynasty melodrama, which grossed a record-shattering 96 million yuan ($12,282,497). Mother Beeb clucks that Chinese bloggers are calling the movie Curse of the Golden Corset. Xinhua, the Chinese state news agency, pants thusly: "The most eye-popping role is played by Gong Li, the empress, whose breasts are so tightly wrapped that they appear ready to pop out of her costume." "With costumes like that, you'd think China was more liberal than America," said one unnamed web user. Another: "What I remember is not the fighting scenes or the acting, but the shiny white flesh."
