Gong Li is an acclaimed international star, who last year made her American film debut as the dangerous Hatsumomo in MEMOIRS OF A GEISHA, directed by Rob Marshall. She won the National Board Of Review award for Best Supporting Actress for this performance.
Gong Li will continue her American film career with an all-star line-up of high profile film projects. She starred in Michael Mann's MIAMI VICE opposite Colin Farrell and Jamie Foxx most recently.
Gong Li's performances have been thrilling audiences around the world since her screen debut in RED SORGHUM, which won the Golden Bear at the 1987 Berlin Film Festival and marked the beginning of a new era in Chinese film. Director Zhang Yimou, one of the first post-Cultural Revolution filmmakers (known as the Fifth Generation) to emerge from the Beijing Film Academy, made six more films with Gong Li after RED SORGHUM. His JU DOU (1990) and RAISE THE RED LANTERN (1991) were the first Chinese films to be nominated for Academy Awards. Their collaborations also included THE STORY OF QIU JU (1992), which brought Gong Li the Best Actress prize at Venice International Film Festival and China's Golden Rooster Award, as well as TO LIVE (1994) and SHANGHAI TRIAD (1995).
Gong Li has made three films with Chen Kaige, another leading Fifth Generation director. The first, FAREWELL MY CONCUBINE (1993), was Oscar-nominated and won the Palme d'Or at Cannes, the Golden Globe and BAFTA awards for best foreign film, and prizes from top critics' groups. Gong Li received the New York Film Critics Circle Award for Best Supporting Actress for FAREWELL MY CONCUBINE. She also starred in TEMPTRESS MOON (1996) and THE EMPEROR AND THE ASSASSIN (1999) for Chen Kaige. She was seen last year in ZHOU YU'S TRAIN, her second film with director Sun Zhou, who also directed her in BREAKING THE SILENCE (1999). She won the Golden Rooster for Best Actress for BREAKING THE SILENCE. Gong Li has also starred in two projects for Hong Kong director Wong Kar-Wai, 2046 and THE HAND, his segment of the three-part anthology film, EROS. Born in Northeastern China in the Shenyang province, Gong Li graduated from Beijing's Central Drama College. She has headed juries at the Berlin (2000), Venice (2002) and Tokyo (2003) International Film Festivals, and in 1998 was honored by the French government with the title "Officier Des Arts et Lettres" for her contributions to cinema. Li lives in Beijing.
