Tang Wei, the “Lust, Caution” star who was maybe-kinda-banned-but-maybe-kinda-not on the mainland has scored her first role since the 2007 film. She will be playing the female romantic lead, opposite Hong Kong singer Jacky Cheung, in the upcoming Chinese comedy “Crossing Hennessy.” The movie is about a friendship that develops between two shopkeepers who are set up on a blind date.

For this week's Shanghaiist Sunday Show, we present to you over a dozen songs that have been submitted to the Olympic committee. Some of the biggest names from across the Chinese music universe have been roped in, including Andy Lau, Jacky Cheung, Emil Chau, Joey Yung, Han Hong, Nicholas Tse, S.H.E., Zhou Bichang and Wilbur Pan, and even companies like Coca Cola have also jumped onto the bandwagon hoping to up their brand exposure ahead of the Olympics. At the moment, there's still no word on which of these songs will be selected as the Olympic theme song, but clearly, some of these singers (who are barely known outside of China) are going to benefit greatly from the international exposure given to them through these songs.
