In today’s tabloid City Sun, published from Rizhao in Shandong, an article centers on the speculation that director Wang has his eye on Tang Wei (汤唯) for the female lead of White Deer Plain (白鹿原).

The Xinhua-run Modern Express today goes with a sensational, eyeball-grabbing front page. Jackie Chan is depicted, cartoon-style, holding a bottle of Bawang shampoo that he has endorsed for many years. Faye Wong posing next to him. What’s wrong with the shampoo?
