Fan Bing Bing falls to the pit of hell and rises up in Win The World’s trailer

Fan Bing Bing‘s massive historical drama, Win The World (赢天下), is based on the story of a Qin Dynasty widow who was named the most successful and richest entrepreneur of the time, Widow Qing. After her husband’s death, she remained unmarried but the drama will draw out her complicated relationship with Qin Shi Huang (played by Gao Yun Xiang). Google tells me her ancestors became rich for digging “elixir” through mining. She was even once rewarded by Emperor Qin Shi Huang and considered as an older sister, and even given the title “virtuous woman.” There was mention that she even helped him built the Great Wall of China with her immense wealth. But if the trailer tells us anything, this is gonna get scandalous too. Somehow, I could never get into Fan Bing Bing’s dramas.

    Hmm…I like Fan Bing Bing for her fashion style and ambition but have to admit I’ve never been able to get into her works either.

    Short teaser so I’m not sure what to think. I was expecting to see more badass business woman and not so much torture and crying. At least we know with FBB the costumes will be phenomenal which is great as I adore Qin dynasty styles.

      same, i thought i’d see more of a commercial battle as well. this looks like a palace drama instead. though the sets and costumes look amazing

    I never was able to get into her works either! It’s a pity because she is one of the few A list actors/ actresses that is consistently in dramas.

    I was actually planning on watching this for both her leading men but not after watching that trailer. Too much suffering!

    Is the drama approved to air? The scene of the needles poking into her fingers is quite gruesome for tv broadcast! And the love scenes as well!

    Somehow FBB’s ancient dramas/movies all have the same vibe and the female characters feel similar lol. But I will be watching this because it is a huge production and also for GYX, Ma Su and CYL! Lets cross our fingers hoping that this won’t be like her Wu Mei Niang drama.

    FBB here is just Wu Mei Niang in different hairstyles and costume. She’ll have the same spunky personality who is nice and kind to everyone but somehow is always hated by so many women yet loved by so many men. There is no doubt in my mind this will be no different to Empress of China in terms of plot and characterization. I don’t know why anyone would expect any different to be honest because it’s clear this is just another ego fulfilling drama since FBB is once again using a notable female figure in history to create this fanfiction-like story for her to bask in. There’s nothing wrong with taking some liberty to these dramas but it’s hard to look forward to something that is obviously formulaic and predictable.

      Her production style and story lines are quite repetitive but there’s also something super addictive to them. Maybe it’s the Mary Sue or the attractiveness of stories where female leads rise from the ashes. Of course some will also watch for the aesthetics too like me haha

    agreed with the above comment, it seems this show is just another ego booster for FBB with the same basic plot premise as Wu Ze Tian. From watching the trailer, it does not looks like it will deliver any historical accuracy nor value other than being another glittery idol drama.

    FBB’s dramas are very glam up lol That’s the selling point.

    OMG, y’all my peoples! I reaaaaally don’t like FBB in any production, movie or otherwise, because this girl is like a vase. Not a vase in terms of no substance, but she cares TOO much about appearance, to the point where it supersedes the goal of a good story.

    The media always discusses 3 things about her – her appearance, her fashion sense and her ambition. Not ONCE do they mention her acting. I think that says a lot about her. She’s consistent, but consistently places herself above all – like someone above said, totally an ego-trip.

      That’s a reflection of the media (and fans) if they can only discuss her appearance, etc. Says more about them if they won’t pay attention to her hard work and acting, which has won her several best actress awards.

    I’m not a FBB fan but I can’t stand these comments, because they show ignorance.
    1. FBB is an actress, and a GOOD ONE (proven by her awards, awarded by critics, and not fan-votes, proven by her decades of work in the industry. There is no way, a person like FBB, with that many years of experience, cannot act. If I attended dance lessons for as many years that she has attended acting lessons and experienced first-hand opportunities to act, I’d be an expert in dance, too).
    2. She is at a place in her career where she can choose what dramas to accept and what to decline. That is a luxury that she can afford. She doesn’t have to do bad dramas, with bad characters, just to fill her bowl. Good for her. This may or may not be her trying to make herself seem better in the public’s eyes, but if you ask yourselves, or me, or anyone, they’d say it’s a terrible marketing strategy at this stage of her career. Neither she, nor her agents would recommend it. Even if she was, so what? We accept gay marriage, we accept freedom of speech, we accept plastic surgery but ‘God forbid an actress (who is slandered by the public for just about anything she does) to try to present a good image of herself’.
    3. Her dramas are never bad. To all the people who say they can’t watch her dramas, let me ask you: why? Is it because you truly cannot stand her acting (which is not bad in any way), or is it because of a preconceived opinion of her you already hold?
    4. She puts in just as much effort as young idol actors (even more) such as ZhaoLiYing, but she gets half the recognition before it because of people like you guys, who are biased. ZhaoLiYing is known for her perfect image: cute, energetic, cheeky. But FanBingBing: diva. (No hate to ZhaoLiYing, I’ve loved her since her LuZhen days).

What do you think?
