Shu Kei to Gong Li: You're not Meryl Streep!

Shu Kei to Gong Li: You're not Meryl Streep!

27 Nov – Hong Kong's famous film critic, Shu Kei, has recently slammed Gong Li for her earlier statement saying that she will never again participate in the Golden Horse Awards.

Previously, the actress, who was speculated to win the Best Actress award for her role in "Coming Home", was left empty-handed when the award was won by Taiwanese actress Chen Shiang-chyi instead.

Though her agent Zeng Jingchao explained that the actress was criticising the awards show as a whole and not of her loss, Gong was still slammed by many for her inability to accept the result.

One of her biggest critics is the film critic, who turned to Facebook to express his views on the matter.

Shu ranted that being talented and popular will not guarantee one an award. Using the example of three-time Oscar winner, Meryl Streep, Shu stated that the actress did not always win at the Oscars despite being nominated 18 times throughout her career.

"Does Gong Li think she is a better actress than Meryl Streep?" asked the critic.

Shu proceeded to criticise "Coming Home" as a bad movie, naming Gong Li's mediocre performance as its only saving grace.

The critic ended his post by saying that he will not watch Gong Li's movies anymore.
