Chinese actress Gao Yuanyuan rose to fame in 2003 after starring in 'The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber.' In 2014, she married actor Mark Chao, and they have a daughter together. The couple enjoys a sweet relationship. Recently, Gao Yuanyuan, who has been in the industry for 29 years, was spotted in Chengdu. Many netizens saw her filming on the street, but she was unexpectedly accused of 'using a body double for a variety show,' sparking widespread discussion online.
Two photos circulated online showed a foreign man and a woman in red surrounded by cameras and lighting crew. Netizens wondered which celebrity was filming. Someone then identified Gao Yuanyuan, raising further questions as to whether she was using a body double for the show. Opinions online were divided: some believed Gao Yuanyuan was only using a 'stand-in for lighting,' meaning a person who helps test the lighting before the star steps in, allowing filming to proceed quickly and save time; others questioned, 'Why would a variety show need a lighting stand-in?'
The answer was revealed—Gao Yuanyuan was shooting a clothing brand commercial with French celebrity chef Corentin Delcroix. The brand explained that, to respect public space order and improve team efficiency, they arranged staff to professionally scout shooting angles and test lighting, in order to deliver high-quality final results.
