'Fairy Sister' Liu Yifei has been 'absent' from the screen for over two years, yet she remains a favorite among advertisers, with her endorsement work only increasing rather than declining, earning her the reputation of 'the most expensive spokesperson.' Recent reports indicate she is about to return to work. Aside from rumors that she will once again co-star with Chen Xiao in a new drama series 'Salty Snow,' there is further buzz that she will team up with Xiao Zhan for the first time as leads in a new film, 'Queen of the Sea: Shi Yang,' produced by Tsui Hark. However, this has not been officially confirmed.
Now 38 years old, Liu Yifei has not joined a film crew for over 900 days since her popular drama 'The Story of Rose,' yet her popularity continues to soar. She has already added five new advertising contracts this year and now holds about 16 global endorsements. Industry insiders refer to her as 'the most expensive spokesperson in all of China.' With a positive image in her over 20-year career, the brands she endorses often see their sales multiplied, leading to her wide popularity.
Moreover, she invested in properties in Beijing, Shanghai, Wuhan, and the United States early on, reportedly accumulating considerable wealth. The drama she starred in, 'The Story of Rose,' is also set to release a DVD in Japan on September 2, underscoring her sustained overseas popularity.
