Chinese actress Fan Bingbing continues to keep fans perplexed as speculation swirls over her alleged appearance at the 62nd Golden Horse Award. The star, who has not attended the Taiwanese awards ceremony for nine years, is nominated for best actress for her performance in Green Night (《地母》). While its participation remains unconfirmed, a curious update has sparked discussion online: Its IP location on Weibo now shows Hubei, raising hopes that it may be in transit to Taiwan.
As of this writing, her Weibo IP places her in Hubei, a province with direct flights to Taipei Taoyuan International Airport, just 2.5-3 hours away. The coincidence has raised eyebrows, with many wondering whether Fan will make a last-minute entry to the awards ceremony.
The suspense deepened on November 21, when Green Night director Glen Goei (Zhang Ji’an) was asked about Fan’s possible participation in the Golden Horse Luncheon. His playful response only fueled the rumors:
“Tomorrow I will surprise everyone” he said with a smile, before joking, “I can bring a bowl of rice and a glass of ice to represent it.”
Goei previously revealed that Fan was extremely emotional after learning of his nomination, even crying on the phone with him.
“We are still finalizing last minute details, including his schedule and visa. He really wants to attend.” he shared.
Fan Bingbing has struggled to regain full access to China’s entertainment industry following the 2018 tax scandal, prompting her to shift focus to overseas markets. His return to Golden Horse AwardsIf that were to happen, it would mark a symbolic milestone in his international return.
For now, the mystery remains, but her fans remain hopeful: Fan Bingbing will make a dramatic return to Golden Horse stage after almost a decade?
