Celebrated Chinese film star, Zhao Wei, has reportedly signed up with the music giant Virgin Record Group to pursue a recording career.
The company's Chief executive, Yao Qian, announced that the film star will debut her new album in mid November, titled "Gone with the Wind," or "Piao" in Mandarin. China Radio International reported Saturday.
Known to Chinese fans as "little swallow" in China's top rating TV series Princess Pearl, or Huan Zhu Ge Ge in mandarin, the 28-year-old star has already made two successful records.
She made several films last year, such as Green Tea and Warriors of Heaven and Earth, with the latter one just hitting US cinemas last week.
