Returning to the limelight after a few years away is never easy, and that’s been especially true for Fan Bingbing in the years since the Chinese superstar she was fined $127 million for tax evasion in 2018. Although, for some, it might feel like Fan never really went away, despite being blacklisted in mainland China. Not only was she able to maintain a social media presence during this time, finding new success in her personal brand Fan Beauty, she also appeared in two Hollywood films that cast her before the tax scandal came to light.
Unfortunately, both “The 355” and “The King’s Daughter” are so bad that Fan would have benefited from being blacklisted there too, especially after she picked up a Golden Raspberry Award nomination for Worst Supporting Actress in 2022. Undeterred, Fan was able to find a plum role in “Green Night,” the sophomore feature by “Summer Blur” director Han Shuai.
