Actress Gong Li two nights ago on the TELLING MARIA 2 program revealed that when she worked with Stephen Chow Sing Chi on the film FLIRTING SCHOLAR (TONG BAK FU DIM CHAU HEUNG), she asked director Zhang Yimou for help. She said, "I came from academia. At the time I didn't understand Chow Sing Chi's acting method, so I asked Zhang Yimou for advice. He said I just had to follow their lead and I was fine."
