Li accepted Beijing press' interview on the evening of 6th (beijing time). Here are some pics, no articles/reports available yet. Li was in casual clothing. I guess it was for COTGF promotion. It must be very tiring for her to do so much promotions (first MV in early Nov, then coming to US to promote COTGF from mid-Nov to the end of Nov, now she's back to Beijing to continue the COTGF promotion....it must be very boring to her).

Sina.com has up an article about the interview. Perhaps NewPath can translate into English a few of Li's (supposed) remarks for us...
http://ent.sina.com.cn/m/2006-12-08/04531361303.html
(They used a photo from a few weeks ago, not one taken during the new interview.)
The writer claims that Li said she told Yimou to call on her for a sequel to CotGF. A sequel? Considering how many characters die by the end of it... Actually, a prequel would be more interesting.
From China Times: "Newspaper reporter Zeng Jian reported that 'Curse of the Golden Flower' preview ceremony will soon be held this month on the 14th. The other day, the reporter interviewed this film's 'queen', Gong Li, and 'the palace maid', Li Man." [Highlights from the article:] Gong Li has a tacit understanding with Zhang Yimou, and the two people commonly used Shaanxi while speaking. Gong Li said her character (the Empress) displays fits of temper, makes sarcastic comments, is not well. Li had to inhabit that character all day. To lighten the mood, Li joked with others on the set.

Marla, I have an odd feeling about this interview. Many newspapers claimed that Li had an interview with Beijing press at the night of 6th, but other than the few pics on Sohu.com and the one you posted, none of the newspapers posted her new photos. In the meantime, the report of the interview was on almost every newspaper today, Beijing and non-Beijing. Really weird. With respect to the contents of the interview, most of them are from old articles, or the behind-the-scenes we've seen before. I think two newspapers mentioned that Li was making a cover shot in a studio for some magzine at the night of 6th.
Some of Li's remarks in the interview othe than the sequel thing: she said she's moved by the film and cried twice; she said it is one of her favorite ZY's films....and....a lot of nice words about this film. I don't know if she likes the movie that much, or just for promotion, or someone else "added" something to what she said. Anyway, that's the summary. |

The above is a quote from one of the newspapers. It said "yesterday, with the studio promotion team's help, the reporter interviewed Li through email." |

Thanks for the details, NewPath. I did recognize in the articles remarks that Li has made in previous interviews, and wondered if they used older material as "filler".

China Foto Press carried all of the new pics. I wonder what other magazines will include CotGF promo...

I mentioned in another thread the new "press site" for CotGF. It includes a nice gallery page of photos of Li as the Empress:
