On the morning of yesterday (November 4), the production team of "Guanyin Mountain", which won two major awards at the 23rd Tokyo International Film Festival, held a celebration banquet in Beijing. Present at the event were producer Fang Li, director Li Yu, cinematographer Zeng Jian, Fan Bingbing and other members of the crew. At the ceremony site, Director Li Yu personally handed over the trophy for Best Actress she had received on behalf of Fan Bingbing in Tokyo. This moved Fan Bingbing to tears and she excitedly hugged and kissed Li Yu repeatedly.
Fan Bingbing has finally won an award internationally, so her excitement is understandable. Even if her actions to express her joy seem excessive, it might not be too much. However, her repeated kisses and even tongue kisses with the female director made people feel uncomfortable, even nauseous, causing goosebumps all over. To be honest, if it was just a light kiss, it would have been fine. If the counterpart was a male director, it would also seem normal. But since the counterpart was a female director, and Fan Bingbing still hugged and kissed her repeatedly, including a tongue kiss, it's hard for people to accept, and it can't help but make one suspect that Fan Bingbing has issues with her sexual orientation or has tendencies towards homosexuality. At least as a man, I would never kiss another man, even if it's just a light kiss.
Regarding Fan Bingbing's tongue kiss with the female director, I have an unkind guess. While it's not impossible that it was partly to express her joy, it probably was more about attracting attention and creating a buzz, or at least suspected of being a publicity stunt. I hope I'm just being suspicious without cause. Although I don't generally oppose hype, such stunts like Fan Bingbing's tongue kiss with the female director are indeed too vulgar and shocking, and at least I don't like them.
