Gong Li, one of China's best actors, told Reuters on Wednesday that Michelle Yeoh's recent success at the Oscars and Golden Globes was particularly encouraging for Asian actors.
"Since the beginning of the epidemic to now, in fact, the film industry has not been so vibrant, not like it was before, so her award is also an encouragement," Gong said.
Yeoh, who is Malaysian, won best actress at both awards shows last year for her role in multiverse adventure "Everything Everywhere All at Once."The 76th Cannes Film Festival - Opening ceremony and screening of the film "Jeanne du Barry" Out of competition - Red Carpet arrivals - Cannes, France, May 16, 2023.

Gong, who rose to fame as the star of lush Chinese movies such as 1988's "Red Sorghum" and "Farewell my Concubine" in 1993, before earning wider recognition in Hollywood films such as 2005's "Memoirs of a Geisha", was back on the Cannes Film Festival's red carpet this week after being on pandemic lockdown for the last three years.
"Firstly, everyone really has to get out, go out, go out of the house, and go abroad to see the world, to go back to how it was before," said Gong, who has been coming to Cannes for more than two decades and was on the Palme d'Or jury in 1997., which kept its borders shut for most international travel, late last year.Our Standards:
