Prevailing hard-core commercialism in the industry also distracts actresses. In the past, their undivided attention would be concentrated on bettering their acting skills. But they now have to worry about marketing themselves to sponsors and building up a "brand" to attract lucrative endorsement deals.

They have to pay a lot more attention to their physical appearances than their elders in the industry ever had to.

Li Yinhe, well-known sociologist and feminist, says the concept of beauty in China is already redefined.

In the '50s and '60s, big breasts were not flaunted but hidden. Many women were shy about their assets and would hang their heads and hunch to avoid accusations of immodesty.

These days, sex sells. It is the new yardstick by which women are measured, and the new maxim is: If you have it, flaunt it.

"Actresses are no longer afraid to use their sexuality in front of the camera. They are proud of their sexiness," Li added.

These changing mores also affect the image of the Chinese actress abroad.

In 1999, when Zhang Ziyi appeared at the Berlin Film Festival dressed in a Chinese dudou (a backless embroidered apron traditionally worn as underwear), she created a stir on the red carpet with her paradoxical wide-eyed innocence and Lolita sex appeal. Last year, when actress Fan Bingbing appeared at Cannes in a dragon-robe-inspired evening gown, she was no longer able to attract the same attention.

Progress is inescapable, so is change. More and more, the faces you see in Chinese productions will reflect the urban evolution right outside the cinema doors. This kaleidoscope of changes, too, will encourage and inspire a new generation of directors and actors - all of whom will help China project its new faces and phases to the curious West.

The next genre of Chinese cinema, predicts Jiang Xiaoyu, will shift its focus from pastoral settings to urban landscapes populated by the upwardly mobile and struggling migrant workers. It is an intricate tapestry of stories waiting to be told.

And in these stories, the new faces of Chinese cinema will find the space and potential to fully exploit their talent in characters more like their own. As for Zhang Yimou and directors like him, the challenge is to find new scripts, and new muses.
