\u201cFan\u2019s reputation as an actress and trend-setter stretches across China and the world,\u201d said THR Editorial Director Janice Min. \u201cWith recent and upcoming appearances in major Hollywood movies attracting worldwide attention Fan is the quintessential inaugural recipient of THR\u2019s International Artist of the Year award.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s truly an honor to receive this award from The Hollywood Reporter, which is known internationally for journalistic excellence,\u201d said Fan. \u201cI\u2019m very proud and especially excited to receive this honor at Cannes.\u201d<\/p>\n
Fan Bingbing is profiled in THR\u2019s Cannes issue, which features more than 30 pages of comprehensive festival coverage, including a revealing cover interview with Sofia Coppola, whose The Bling Ring makes its premiere at the fest; a list of hot market titles; an insider\u2019s guide to Cannes restaurants; and a Q&A with legendary producer Jerry Weintraub, whose HBO Liberace biopic is in competition.<\/p>\n
Fan, who is a favorite of top designers on the red carpet, shared her fashion philosophy with THR: \u201cHaving something to say is the most important part.\u201d She also discussed the growing importance of fashion in China, adding, \u201cThere are more people who really know fashion as a lifestyle, an attitude. China is catching up.\u201d <\/p>\n
Fan recently topped the annual Forbes China Celebrity 100 list, making her China\u2019s no. 1 celebrity. The face of L\u2019Oreal and Chopard, Fan has a growing international following for her work in film, music and fashion.
