Michelle Yeoh returns to Chinese movies with "Miss R"
12 Aug - Michelle Yeoh is making her Chinese film comeback through the new movie, "Miss R".
The new movie from Media Asia tells the story of a rebellious 70-year-old Zhao Yanhong (Michelle), who constantly causes trouble in the nursing home. One day, she meets Wu Youwei, a mysterious Rubik's Cube master running a stall at the night market, an encounter that changes everything.
Michelle is paired up with Liu Haoran for the first time, with the Chinese actor playing the Rubik's Cube master.
This marks Michelle's first Chinese-language film since winning the Oscar for Best Actress. In "Miss R", she plays the headstrong and rebelliously youthful Zhao Yanhong. The character itself mirrors the real Michelle, who embraces new challenges regardless of age, making the story even more compelling.
Produced by Wen Muye and directed by Bai Xue, the concept poster features some of the cube's panels replaced with everyday items like a wire brush, yarn ball, plastic bag, and pills. These objects, in fragmented form, piece together the daily life of the film's protagonist, Zhao Yanhong.
