Last week, we picked the winner<\/a> of our \u201cSnowflower and the Secret Fan\u201d \u201cMeet and Greet\u201d contest<\/strong>. Asiance<\/strong> users were asked to submit their interest through the site. The winner and her friend (to adhere to the film\u2019s theme \u2013 women and friendship) would be able to have a sit down \u201cMeet and Greet\u201d<\/strong> with the producers of the film, Wendi Deng Murdoch<\/strong> and Florence Sloan<\/strong>. We picked Lulu Wang<\/strong> as our winner. Lulu<\/strong> is educated in film, knows the producers\u2019 history very well, already saw the film – loved it and LOVEs Asiance<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n

Both Florence<\/strong> and Wendi<\/strong> took time out of their busy schedule to meet with Lulu and her friend, Yilin Hsu<\/strong>. The \u201cMeet and Greet\u201d<\/strong> idea was actually Wendi\u2019s idea and they kept their word! Asiance<\/strong> was the only media site to have a “Meet and Greet”. We had so much fun visiting Fox headquarters, not only meeting the producers, but also the director, Wayne Wang<\/strong> and lead actress, Li Bingbing<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

All in all, the \u201cMeet and Greet\u201d lasted about 20 minutes, quite generous with their schedules. They discussed films. Lulu talked about her directorial debut, which is her first film and is being filmed in Berlin. Yilin is a mixed media artist and working in New York City. Wendi discussed that she just read Patti Smith’s book, Just Kids, which talked about the \u201870s and \u201880s artists and such famous landmarks as the Chelsea Hotel. Florence said being in New York is the best place for artists. Florence suggested going to Los Angeles because that seems to be the place for young Avant-garde artists today. <\/p>\n
