　　　　　　　 Chen Kaige’s annual masterpiece "Zhao’s Orphan" is about to start in Beijing in mid-March, and the heroine candidate of the film has been hyped due to the controversy. Just recently, it was finally decided that Fan Bingbing will replace Song Hye Kyo as the heroine of "Zhao’s Orphan" Princess Zhuang Ji.

　　　　　　　 The role of Princess Zhuang Ji requires a beautiful and pure actor to play. According to people familiar with the matter, the cast initially considered the selection of female leads including Fan Bingbing, Song Hye Kyo, Jin Xishan, and Quan Zhixian. Fan Bingbing and Chen Kaige had a pleasant cooperation a long time ago. In Chen Kaige’s promotional short film "Ah Hu" for a website, Fan Bingbing once played the heroine as a simple mountain girl. When the crew approached in the early days, Fan Bingbing was intentionally invited to play the role, but Fan Bingbing missed it due to scheduling reasons. The crew determined that Song Hye Kyo would play Zhuang Ji, and then there was a disagreement with Song’s agency on the details of the contract. The filmmaker contacted Fan Bingbing again, and the agency worked hard to coordinate the opening period. The sincerity of both parties contributed to this cooperation.

　　　　　　　 Fan Bingbing has also recently entered the group to complete the makeup setting. According to the records, Princess Zhuang Ji is Zhao Dun’s daughter-in-law. Because of her special status as the king’s sister, she survived the disaster of the traitor Tu Anjia’s plan to kill the Zhao family, and she was pregnant at the time. After Tu Anjia learned about it, he decided to wait for the child to be born before cutting down the grass and roots. In order to continue the bloodline of the Zhao family, Zhuang Ji gave birth to the orphan of the Zhao family and handed it over to Cheng Ying, the disciple of the Zhao family. It is reported that in order to play this simple and powerful great mother well, Fan Bingbing will reduce the number of films this year and devote himself to the rich inner world of Zhuang Ji.
