Yesterday afternoon, the Olympic torch bearer and movie star, Bingbing Li, appeared to raise money for two auctions for the HongKou city district, and the people with intellectual disabilities and Art Association. She has raised 200,000 yuan worth of stationary and more than 50,000 yuan in cash.

Bingbing Li, who has starred in such movies such as “A World Without Thieves,” said that her visit to the people with intellectual disabilities and the Art Association was both a moving and humbling experience. The association was founded five years ago by 76-year old, Ni Zhen, started with 20 people but has now more than 100. In 2006, Ni formed a dance group with the mentally handicapped young people which hit the Shanghai Special Olympic’s Opening Ceremony. Bingbing Li said that even though it is often said, the children do become very lively and are a very cheerful group, and has filled her with much joy. The children were very excited to see Bingbing Li, invited her to play some Yaogu, some as she presented Yizhi Ge. Overwhelmed by the children’s warmth, Bingbing Li was deeply touched and said, “I do too little.” Consequently she has concentrated on getting more people involved in caring for vulnerable people in society.

Since last year when she received the Hua Biao Award for best actress, Bingbing Li has embarked on a new course in the performing arts. Last week she launched her debut album, “Since and has been.” Faced with questions Bingbing Li has said that she is constantly working to perfect her skills, and has worked for a year and half with great concentration to polish her skills so that she does not let down her fans.

自去年获得华表奖最佳女演员奖后,李冰冰便开始了演艺道路的新征程。上周,她推出了首张专辑《自&己》。面对“玩票”质疑,李冰冰表示,自己是一个追求完美的人,这张新专辑自己潜心打磨了一年半时间,旨在真诚地与歌迷影迷分享音乐。实习生 朱蒙雪 记者 俞亮鑫

Li Bingbing debut album

Another interesting article from ent.sina.com.cn.

Our Translation:

Recently Bingbing Li has released a personal debut album. On the inside of the album Bingbing Li has placed a small, handwritten speech to everyone with a few profound thoughts. She has worked tirelessly on this new album until 3:00 in the morning, which has made the staff a bit impatient to send the final version to the printers.

According to the issuing company the album (named after the actress) already has 30,000 pre-orders, which has made the company very happy and which now looks forward to her career. When the news about these preorders arrived it impressed the entire Zhao Baogang and Renquan, Huang Xiaoming, Lu Yi, Li Xiaolu, Yi Nengjing, Zheng Huang, Tzong-Hann Lee, and Lin Yu all came to congratulate Bingbing along with many friends to witness this glorious moment. Bingbing Li was excited and moved to tears over the news. In a conference Haidie Group CEO, Mr Li Peng and Bi Xiao Shi, (also on the scen), said, “Bingbing Li is an excellent artist, and since she has entered the Haidie group she has worked very hard. We add to her ‘hard’ accomplishments her new music career, she may not be the best, but I think that she has made the most effort. She has always been on time to study and recording classes, and she studies and practices until satisfied. Let us also remember that she’s such a [great] spirit. I hope the her concerts draw an even greater following.” The implication is that Bingbing Li’s music career is off to a fantastic start with a very promising road ahead.

When Bingbing Li joined Haidi she did not rush to record a record but spent a year in preparation before finally producing a debut album. Bingbing Li said she is very new to the field of music, and is very happy with this opportunity to study, and with the help of I Shixiong Lin Jun Jie she has been able to learn a lot. Lin Yu has also been an excellent singer-songwriter and he wrote to her the angel [song?] She has a lot of good friends whom have helped her along the way and has advanced with Li Jui-chul’s cooperation, singing the theme song for “Kung Fu King” (Forbidden Kingdom in the U.S.) To paraphrase: She now has a new perspective about music. Although she is still starting out her music career having a first album has made her very happy, and she hopes that if you like her films that you wil also enjoy her new album.

As the Opening Ceremony for the Beijing Olympic Games draws closer, Bingbing Li, who has already participated as a Olympic torch bearer in Beijing, has urged people to travel “green,” using more subways and bus transports to ensure a smooth traffic. Beijing is China’s window to the world, and smiling faces will abound to greet foreign friends from abroad, as a smiling Beijing population will be the best business card.

Bingbing Li expected to be the most profitable of Chinese actresses this year

July 10th, 2008 admin Posted in Bingbing Li, Bingbing Li in Chinese news, Bingbing Li in sina.com.cn news, Li Bing-Bing, Li Bingbing, Li Bingbing Music, The Forbidden Kingdom (2008) No Comments »

Bingbing Li to become most profitable female performer of 2008

According to an artile on ent.sina.com.cn dated June 17th, 2008, Bingbing Li is slated to being the female celebrity to make the most amount of money this year.

Our Translation:

The day before yesterday at the Shanghai Film Festival, “Huayi” Commander Peng Wang Lei hinted in a speech during a fun forum, Wang Lei, about actresses Bing-Bing Li Zhou Xun, and Fan Bingbing. Of those mentioned it has been hinted that Bingbing Li in particular due to her rising status as an entertainer has changed the political arena and that she is positioned to make the most amount of money this year.

During the “Asian Arts society for people with the Asian film industry” forum, Wang Lei spoke to artists and companies on the topic of profitability and said of the more than 60 artists who work for the company, the minimum commission is 15 commission percent, and the maximum is 70 percent. The precent of commission is based upon when the artist joined the company, the length of time they have been with the company, and after terms are reached between the company and the artist. As a result Wang Zhonglei was very very proud to say that now one of the most profitable performers is the artist Bingbing Li, “After more than ten years of effort Bingbing Li has tranformed from an ordinary star into one that dazzles, and that between the years of 2007 to 2008 ‘Huayi’ she is the most profitable of the female stars. ”

Wang Lei admits during his praise that Bingbing Li was initially not very good, but through hard work and painstaking effort, she is now on the front line as one of the mainland’s leading actresses.

“Absorption of the Queen” ads this year may exceed 15

Wang Lei has made it known that Bingbing Li and Zhou Xun will make money, the implication being that as a sister, Bingbing Li will rise to the status of a queen due to her bankability. When a sister like Bingbing Li is able to make companies money in addition to her acting, then the star value increases due to her profitability for all.

Star power is directly related to a star’s popularity. Thus in 2007 Bingbing Li with her song “Cloud Water Song”, her work quickly became part of the brand’s focus. Whether she is involved in business activities or in fashion occasions her involvement naturally attracts the attention of many advertisers.

According to statistics Bingbing Li did at least 15 ads last year. This year she signed onto eight more advertisement endorsement deals including her deal as a spokeswoman for Mercedes-Benz, her deals with Xuelian cashmere Tian Jia and her role as spokeswoman for TCL mobile phones. Informed sources have disclosed that in recent statistics when Bingbing Li speaks for the brand, some manufacturers are awarded with an 8-digit profit, and she still has three ads are in talks. “Forbes” has made an earlier rough estimate on last year’s star revenues, placing Zhang Ziyi, Bing-Bing Li, Zhou Xun as the top three profitable stars. Last year Bingbing Li earned 80 million yuan — a real “aspiration of the Queen.”

10 years, the film guarantees to 3 million yuan

Many years ago Bingbing Li became known due to her involvement in a controversial “advertisement.” She also received the Best Actress Award in recent years at the 13th Singapore International Film Festival and has received attention for her work in “A World without Thieves.” More recently she has had success with song, “Cloud Water Song” and the just released “Butterfly fly.” She has also had success with this year’s “King of Kung Fu” (a.k.a. The Forbidden Kingdom), and it has become apparent that her popularity in the film and influence can not be underemphasized. In ten years Bingbing Li has come a long way and has a kind of success which has catapulted her to the top as one of the A-list stars in China — a fact which the large revenues from her work can attest and about which many in the film industry can give affirm.

A first album and diversification

In addition to advertising, film and television, Bingbing Li also intends to enter the music scene. Last year she was well received for her efforts singing the “butterfly fly,” and “distant love” theme songs in two films and she is now preparing her first solo album with MV.

“华谊”老总王中磊前日在上海电影节上主讲了一场妙趣横生的论坛,王中磊在演讲时暗示李冰冰(华谊老总评内地女星商业价值李冰冰最高(图) 听歌 blog)、周迅(听歌)、范冰冰(华谊老总评内地女星商业价值李冰冰最高(图) 听歌 blog)等几位内地最走红的女星的江湖地位已经发生变化,目前最会赚钱的是李冰冰!

李冰冰十年一剑成 “一姐”

前日,在这次名为《亚洲艺术人机制与亚洲电影产业》的论坛上,王中磊谈到艺人与公司的佣金话题时说,在他们公司的60多个艺人中,佣金提成最低是15%,最高是70%。这是根据艺人加入公司的背景、时间的长短,经过双方协商达成的。随后,王中磊又很自豪地表示,现在他们公司最赚钱的艺人是李冰冰,“李冰冰从一个普通的的明星,经过十几年的努力,已经跃身为耀眼的明星,她是2007年到2008年‘华谊’乃至内地女明星中最赚钱的一个。”

王中磊在赞扬李冰冰的同时也坦承她之前不是很被看好,但是经过努力和公司苦心经营,李冰冰现在绝对已经成为内地一线女星中的佼佼者。

周迅主打慈善减少曝光面临退居二线

从李少红(华谊老总评内地女星商业价值李冰冰最高(图) blog)手下跳槽到华谊的周迅,这几年的影视作品无论质量还是数量都不能与过去相提并论,面临退居二线的问题。王中磊前日对此解释说:“周迅是属于‘老戏骨’那类明星,人人都知道她会演戏。近年来她减少了市场曝光率,是因为公司把她往环保、慈善方面打造,她成了联合国开发计划署的首位中国亲善大使。”

当记者问李冰冰和周迅谁是华谊一姐时,王中磊表示,李冰冰现在机会很多,赚钱也多,周迅则是在筹备中,暂时还没当上一姐。

范冰冰赵薇(听歌)公众形象倒数但也赚钱

华谊从2000年起涉足艺人管理,开始的四五年属“保姆型”,即为艺人提供生活上的服务为多,而这几年已逐渐开始包装艺人。艺人与经纪公司虽然要签合同,但合同对艺人的束缚力还是有限的。早前,该公司“一姐”范冰冰跳槽,就曾闹得街知巷闻。

提到范冰冰,王中磊说这几年他发现了一个现象,就是在公众形象排行榜上前10位和后10位的艺人最赚钱。比如范冰冰、赵薇就是排在后10位的,但她们很会赚钱。在他眼里,有个性的艺人就是纯粹的艺人,这样的艺人就有“吸金”能力。

“吸金女王”今年广告可能突破15个

王中磊公开夸赞李冰冰比周迅会赚钱,言外之意就是李冰冰已经坐上华谊一姐的宝座。当一姐,除了需要演技之外,更要能为公司赚钱,而明星的身价主要体现在代言费和片酬上。

明星代言的多寡一般与其人气直接相关。李冰冰2007年凭《云水谣》成为华表奖影后后,便迅速成为了各品牌宠爱的对象,无论是企业活动还是各种时尚场合总少不了她的身影,人气暴涨与极高的曝光率自然吸引了众多广告商的目光。

据统计,李冰冰去年至少接拍了15个广告。今年,她更是一下子接下了8个广告,包括代言奔驰、雪莲羊绒和传闻以天价代言的TCL手机。有知情人士透露,在李冰冰最近代言的品牌中,有厂商给出了高达8位数的酬劳,而她目前还有3个广告正在商谈中。《福布斯》早前曾粗算出去年众多红星的收入,章子怡(华谊老总评内地女星商业价值李冰冰最高(图))、李冰冰、周迅排在前三名。去年,李冰冰一人便为华谊兄弟经纪公司赚了8000万元,成为名副其实的“吸金女王”。

十年,电影片酬升至300万元

李冰冰因多年前一部曾经引起争议的《广告人》被人所熟知,接下来,从获得第13届新加坡国际电影节最佳女主角奖的《过年回家》,到好评如潮的《天下无贼()》再到创造佳绩的《云水谣》以及刚上映的《蝴蝶飞》、《功夫之王》,李冰冰在影坛的人气和影响力不容小觑。十年时间,李冰冰一路走来,已经冲上了国内一线女星的位置,300万元的片酬和众多的片约便是有力证明。

首发唱片,全面进军

除了广告和影视,李冰冰也打算进军乐坛,争取演艺事业全面开花。去年加入海蝶唱片之后,她演唱的《蝴蝶飞》、《遥远爱》两首电影主题歌都收到了不错的反响,而她目前已经在为首张个人专辑拍摄MV。

Bingbing Li

According to the Associated Press, Bingbing Li will be releasing her first solo album by the end of June, 2008.

Our translation:

(Editor’s note: Miss Li actually says more but because we could not translate it adequately two of her lines at the end have been removed. However she speaks further about how she has learned to sing by the guidance of teachers and to find her own voice.)

June 11, actress Bingbing Li will be releasing her first solo album. This reporter learned yesterday that  the album is to be released by the end of June while Miss Li was shooting album’s title song “The Love of his Life” at MV Studios. Bingbing Li was wearing a white gown at the time and looked like an angel surrounded by a beautiful screen and hundreds of lit meditation candles.

“The love of his life” is by Shixiong Lin Jun Jie. This is a personal love theme song created by MV from Taiwan and directed by the famous director Lam Kam; the design is also by Jiang Yipeng  from Taiwan.  Bingbing Li said, “I like Mr Lam’s and the MV shooting style and the melody created by Lin Jun Jie Shi Xiong Qimei is also like Korean dramas.

For Bingbing Li to make “The love of his life” is a lot of hard work. To capture the most beautiful lighting conditions Bingbing Li and the MV crew members had to get up at 5:00 am for the 7:00 am shoot. In the studio, the director also invited a string ensemble along with a pianist to the set as Miss Li’s accompaniment.

With regard to the expectations of the new album, Bingbing said, “This is his life in the first album, the feelings are not the same, I do feel like this album is also a learning process.”

中新网6月11日电 女星李冰冰 将于6月底发行首张个人专辑,昨日,记者探班了李冰冰拍摄专辑中主打歌《一生的爱》MV片场。李冰冰一身白色长裙宛若天使,在数百只点燃的蜡烛中沉思,画面优美。

《一生的爱》是由同门师兄林俊杰 亲自操刀创作的一首大爱主题歌曲,其MV由台湾著名导演林锦和执导,造型设计也是由台湾著名企划江一朋先生亲自打理。李冰冰表示:很喜欢林锦和拍摄MV的风格,师兄林俊杰创作的旋律也凄美得像韩剧,自己很喜欢。

李冰冰为《一生的爱》MV吃了不少苦。为了争取最美的光线,李冰冰和MV剧组成员清晨5点就起床,7点开拍。在片场,导演还请来了弦乐团现场为李冰冰伴奏,钢琴的伴奏,更是烘托出磅礴大气的旋律。

关于对新专辑的期待,李冰冰表示:这是自己生命中的第一张专辑,自己的感觉特别不一样,我觉得自己做这张唱片就像是在煲汤,也是一种学习的过程;在加入海蝶的这段时间,我从一个唱歌的“学生”到慢慢找到了自我,最早的时候我只限于模仿,慢慢地,从老师们的指导中,我从中找到自我、接受自我到坚持自我,对于唱歌本身,我觉得我有自己的态度,并不单纯是情绪的发泄。
