Dee Hsu fulfils dream of working with Feng Xiaogang

Taiwanese host and actress Dee Hsu is an avid fan of Chinese director Feng Xiaogang’s works and promoted herself to Xiaogang on her variety show, Sister’s Hungry (unofficial translation), expressing her wishes to become one of the ‘Director Feng’s girls’ (referring to female actresses that have acted in his movies) like Chinese actress Fan Bingbing.

It looks like Dee’s self-marketing efforts have paid off as the famed director also expressed interest in working with Dee. She will be turning her dreams into reality by co-singing the theme song of his latest movie starring Bingbing, I Am Not Madame Bovary, with Chinese actor Dong Chengpeng.

As they will be performing the theme song in the shoes of the movie characters (Dee will be singing as the movie’s protagonist, Li Xue Lian, while Chengpeng sings in reply to Xue Lian’s laments), Dee quickly delved into character and was seen bantering with Chengpeng during the recording session.

They teased each other with good humour in the fun and lighthearted duet which will see Dee sing “I don’t want men to be surprised by my body only, [I don’t want] to do the laundry, cook and work till late” for one of the lines in the song.

The music video of the theme song will also feature an animated version of the movie characters.

I Am Not Madame Bovary opens in theatres November 1.
