"The cost of a movie is 3 million yuan (about 48 million yen), which is a staggering amount. Do sponsoring companies think Miss Koki has such value? (A writer living in China)
In April, Koki, the second female model of Takuya Kimura Kudo Shizuka, starred as a special guest on the Chinese show "Creation 2021". Some weekly magazines reported that the pay was high at the time, which also caused a great response in China.
"Koki, after the debut of ELLE, the covers of many famous fashion magazines distributed in China were decorated on the covers. In addition, in 2019, she also met the original member of exo, who is very popular in China. Chris Wo (Wu Yifan) appeared together in the MV. In addition, this time, he participated as a guest of "Creation 2021".
It is also known locally as the "Seven Colors of Parents" because Mr. Takuya Kimura's presence is too strong. Especially in the 80s and 90s, the number of TV dramas produced in China was very small, and many Japanese TV dramas were broadcast locally. At that time, Kimura, who starred in popular works, was very influential on young people in China. Judging from the number of fans on her Weibo (Chinese version of Twitter), Koki is considered to be the "strongest star of the second generation".
Although she has the potential to break bamboo, the "world" is surprisingly vast. Now, there are god-looking young stars in China!
Not long ago, it was Li Wanda who became a topic in the local media. She is not well known in Japan, and like Koki, she is an actress born in 2003. Because of the similarity of face shape, height and weight, li wanda is also known as "a replica of Kimura Mitsuki, which has attracted much media attention."
"Li Wanda's parents are both Chinese, her father has died, a German doctor of ecology, and her mother is an ecologist. Because her parents have been working on a rainforest regeneration project in the Xishuangbanna area of the mountains deep in Yunnan Province, China, she also grew up in the jungle" (aforementioned Chinese resident writer)
Li Wanda, who thrives in nature. When he was 8 years old, he starred in China's popular talent show "China's Got Talent" with his sister. She showed a cute appearance and singing voice, known locally as "Goblin from the Rainforest!" "And so on caused a reaction. After that, due to her own hopes, she studied at the Beijing Dance Academy, the highest school in the Chinese dance department with many stars such as Zhang Ziyi.
"In 2019, It belongs to the entertainment firm Zedong Film, which is operated by Hong Kong film giant Wong Kar-wai and others. And in "Ip Man 4: The End", she became famous as a gorgeous actress. In the future, including the reserve work of the firm, there will be good works, and it will be more popular in China and Japan."
"Ip Man" is a popular series of Hong Kong action films, and the performance with world-class star Zhen Zidan is a smooth sailing for her.

Li Wanda's endeavor, Kudo Shizuka's anxiety
"High-end brands such as Louis Vuitton and Armani have used Li Wanda as a model. At the same time, in the Chinese-speaking fashion magazine starring Koki, in order to follow the trend, the exposure opportunity has also increased.
In Japan, Koki just announced that she will debut as an actress in the horror movie "Ushizumura" and starred for the first time. Starting with the "Japanese horror film" that the world is proud of, Koki also has the goal of entering the overseas career of an actress, but the opportunities will increase compared with Li Wanda, who has a solid performance in the actress industry.
What will happen to Koki's overseas development in the presence of momentum opponents? From her Instagram, the number of followers is 3 million, and the number of followers on Weibo is 1 million. In contrast, Li Wanda is less than half.
At this point, through the topicality of his debut and the flexible use of the "whole family" social network, Koki's number of fans has increased, and its production strategy has to be said to be very good.
However, Li Wanda's native language is Chinese. Fluent English is also shown in Ip Man. Acting skills will also be further honed. In the long run, is it in the Chinese-speaking circles, and in the world, this awareness will slowly increase? ”
There is a Chinese proverb called "Eighteen Changes of the Female Great". It means that as a woman grows up, her appearance will constantly change and become beautiful. Koki, and Li Wanda are both just 18 years old. Looking forward to the future development of the two!
