The Fate of the Furious actor Scott Eastwood, the beautiful Jing Tian and Director Steven S. Deknight attended the press conference for Pacific Rim 2 held on March 12 in Beijing. I saw Pacific Rim and it was awesome, heavily influenced by the mecha genre that is popular in Japanese anime and manga. The first movie introduced Asian actors like Rinko Kikuchi and the Luu brothers.
For the sequel, we have the incredibly talented Jing Tian who already has two Hollywood movies under her belt with The Great Wall and Kong: Skull Island. The movie will premiere worldwide on March 23, 2018. From the looks of it, she is going to be… a villain! I thought she was the leading lady, though it makes sense that she’d be in charge of promoting in her home country.

I still dont know what kind of connection Jing Tian has to get these roles when her acting isnt that good. Her role in Kingkong was useless and it feels like they added it in just to have her in there. Im all for more Asian actors in Hollywood movies but everyone in China, not only me wonder what kind of background she has to get these roles lol

She’s way better than Zheng Shuang, Dilreba, and the likes.
China investment? She’s getting small roles in Hollywood though. I guess you gotta start somewhere.

As famous as she is in china, the rest of the world doesn't know her yet, she must start somewhere, think in Jackie Chan or Jet li,they are both world wide known, of course there are many chinese actors and actresses but they usually start small.

Yeah, it's been interesting seeing her show up everywhere! Is she part of a bigger company or just an independent person?
I suppose it's good to establish a familiar face, but I do wish more Chinese actresses showed up in these films too, since it'd be nice to see some variety.
…waiting for Liu Yifei as Mulan though, woohoo!

the rumor is that her bf is a very high rank executive in the entertainment industry, or she has strong backing, possibly a wealthy family that's the top in the world which means a lot of connections. there are lots of talks about her. even gossipy blogger or touchy Jackie Chan doesnt talk nor dare to touch her which make everyone wonders what kind of background and connections she has. she seems to be aware of the rumor and said she works hard for it,but the running joke is all the movies she's in is a hit but she is not lol my Chinese friends told me she's more known for having connections than her actings. its very mysterious lol

i watched Zheng Shuang and Dilreba and more. they are about the same level to me, none of them is exceptionally good at acting. Jing Tian is very bland to me and it stands out even more in Hollywood movie.You do realize that she's getting roles that even A-listers in China dont get? not like they want it,but there are more qualified actress, but they keep having her appearing. there must be some reasons, and thats not her acting
