As I mentioned on Tuesday (in the "where is..." thread), a Hong Kong newspaper reported that Gong Li would make an appearance on Friday on behalf of a real estate developer. Here are the first photos I have found (the dress and shoes look familiar, LOL):

I posted this photo caption earlier:

"China's movie star Gong Li poses during a ground breaking ceremony of a Shanghai housing estate in Hong Kong."

It's the same company she made an appearance for on April 6 in Shanghai. I don't know the details as I haven't found anything in the Chinese media yet.

She wore the same dress and shoes on May 19 during the Cannes Film Festival:

Unfortunately, only the thumbnails can be viewed without an account. I anticipate that several other Chinese news sites will use some of these photos in their articles.

Thanks Marla. I wonder if a lot of media attended this.

The article is just a recap of the event. Apparently, she was asked about her next movie, and... no surprise... the reporter's recap is that she said she will make a Hollywood movie soon, but the details cannot be disclosed at this time. Hopefully, we will see a transcript of the interview, or at least selected quotes, online soon.
