Fan and Li had their latest cooperation in the popular TV Series “The Empress of China,” also known as the "Saga of Wu Zetian," which highlights the life of China's only known empress.
The drama hit screens in late 2014 and was pulled off the air for "technical reasons" after its first week of release, then released again five days later with the scenes of actresses' corseted cleavages cut and replaced by close-up shots of just their pretty heads.
The edited version provoked public mockery on Chinese web portals and also stirred debate on whether the revealing clothing shown on the screen reflects the true aesthetics of Tang Dynasty (618-907) costumes or distorts historical records.
Numerous international media outlets, including The New York Times, the Wall Street Journal and The Daily Mail, also reported the heated online debate over the cuts.
In May 2015, Fan topped Forbes magazine's annual ranking of Chinese celebrities for the third consecutive year, with an annual income of 128 million yuan (US$20.62 million) in the past year.
