And when Zhao shares a scene with anyone?with Jiang Wen, China's De Niro, or Hong Kong heartthrob Ekin Cheng, or bad boy Nicholas Tse?she's the one you watch...

CDRW drives can be bought for half the price, and the discs offer nearly as much storage space (up to 700 MB) for a fraction of the cost (80[cents...
