Chen Hong's natural beauty seems to reflect the aesthetics of ancient China. She was asked to star in many period TV dramas, including "Legends of the Three Kingdoms". She once was named one of the most beautiful women in Chinese cinema or television.

Chen Hong has built a happy family. She married Chen Kaige, a Chinese cinematic visionary, in 1996. Devoting herself to Chen's career, Chen Hong turned her attention to work behind the scenes as a film producer. In 2001, the couple's film, "Together" won three major awards including "Best Director" at the 11th Golden Rooster Awards.

In 2005, the couple collaborated on the historic blockbuster "The Promise". The film was not well received. Fans and critics didn't like it.

In the three years since, husband and wife have rallied and come up with another film. They feel confident that this time, fans will not be disappointed.

"Everyday, she has to deal with a lot of details. For an actress, that's not good. It's unfair. She doesn't like the fact that other actresses can devote their whole attention to performing. She has to balance two roles as an actor and a producer. It's a tough job. "

"Every time I was called on to act again, I found it very exciting. My heart would not calm down. I wonder where that feeling comes from. Maybe it's because the film was shot over several months. But also -- after overcoming many, many obstacles, I experienced how the love between husband and wife grows stronger through hard times. "
