After watching the megalodon shark creating havoc in the the Pacific Ocean in Jason Statham's latest flick, The Meg, I suddenly realize there are many Bing Bings in the Chinese entertainment industry. First, there is China's Fan Bingbing 范冰冰 who appeared in the 2014 Hollywood superhero blockbuster X-Men: Days of Future Past and then there is Taiwan's Bai Bing-Bing 白冰冰, who iwhile may be unknown to the western world, is nevertheless a big name in the Chinese entertainment scene. Now, of course, there is The Meg's Li Bing Bing 李冰冰 who had in 2008 already been introduced to international audience via Chinese-American fantasy kung fu wuxia film, The Forbidden Kingdom and later, via Resident Evil: Retribution and Transformers: Age of Extinction in 2012 and 2014 respectively. Then of course, there is the former child star from 1983 Taiwan's popular TV series, Heaven knows my heart 星星知我心, Xiao Bin Bin which is another bin story altogether.
