This may not be an all time low for a picture of an actress on tour promoting a movie but it is really bad. The photographer or someone with Gong Li or someone might have moved the lampshade in the foreground...

There is a lot wrong with Hollywood but at least they know how to pitch a movie.

Maybe the thinking was that they didn't need to do much to sell the film and just having Gong Li was enough.
