an artiste's life is so controlled by the commercial world. zhang ziyi became ziyi zhang when she went into hollywood. lin chiling for no plausible reason became chiling lin. that's chilling.
and the worse victim is 金城武。he was known as aniki jin back in the days when japan wasn't as exciting. and when it did become a craze, his japanese name which should've been read as kinjou takeshi became kaneshiro takeshi maybe because the kaneshiro name sounded cooler. and to mock asian names even further, they decided to flip it over into takeshi kaneshiro.
