A Chinese actress who played Hollywood movie star Zhang Ziyi's (章子怡) naked body double in The Banquet wants her name in the movie's credits, state media reported on Friday.
The Banquet, a film directed by Feng Xiaogang (馮小剛) is set for release in China in the autumn, stars Memoirs of a Geisha actress Zhang and features several body doubles to play her in nude and fight scenes, the Nanfang Daily newspaper said.
Shao Xiaoshan said she was paid US$2,500 for shooting several nude scenes in comments carried by the paper.
“Feng Xiaogang was very satisfied with my body, and asked me to play the ‘naked double,’” the paper quoted Shao as saying.
But the actress feared a lack of exposure, hearing that her name would not appear in the credits and having her calls ignored by the director, the paper said.
