Director John Woo complimented actress .

The main actors of the movie “The Crossing,” including Song Hye Kyo and Tong Da Wei, as well as director John Woo, showed up at the opening preview of the movie for promotion.

When asked about what is was like to work with Song Hye Kyo at a local press conference, director John Woo said, “There were actors with different nationalities, but there were no problems in communication.”

Later on, he judged the actress as a whopping 85 out of 100, saying that the additional 15 points would be up to the audiences’ reactions.

“Song Hye Kyo is always prepared to act, so she only makes few mistakes. When she gets mixed up with lines, she tries to make the best out of it rather than slyly attempt to get away with it,” praised director John Woo.

The director also mentioned how she played all the piano scenes herself instead of using a double.

Meanwhile, Song Hye Kyo described her experience with director John Woo as, “a once in a life time opportunity in which I learned a lot.”

“I am grateful for all the other actors who helped me throughout the filming,” she said. “Speaking in Chinese was especially hard for me.”

Based on the sinking of the ship Taiping, an actual event that happened in 1949 that caused the death of a thousand passengers, “The Crossing” depicts the story of three couples’ search for happiness during times of war and disaster. Song Hye Kyo, Zhang Ziyi, Wu Jincheng, Huang Xiao Ming, Tong Da Wei, and Nagasawa Masami star as the main characters.

Greatest Cooking Tips

Of all time!

Food Network Magazine asked top chefs across the country for their best advice.

Check Out All of the Handwritten Tips from Food Network Chefs

1. Remember, y'all, it’s all about the prep. Take away the stress by doing the prep the night or day before. You'll look like a star.

Paula Deen

2. The smaller the item, the higher the baking temperature. For example, I bake mini chocolate chip-toffee cookies at 500 degrees F for only 4 minutes. Perfect end result.

Jim Lahey

3. Store spices in a cool, dark place, not above your stove. Humidity, light and heat will cause herbs and spices to lose their flavor.

Rick Tramonto

4. Use a coarse microplane to shave vegetables into salads or vinaigrettes. You can create an orange-fennel dressing by adding grated fennel and orange zest to a simple vinaigrette.

Paul Kahan

5. Always make stock in a large quantity and freeze it in plastic bags. That way, when you want to make a nice soup or boil veggies, you can simply pull the bag out of the freezer.

Charlie Trotter

6. If you're cooking for someone important — whether it's your boss or a date — never try a new recipe and a new ingredient at the same time.

Marcus Samuelsson

7. Cook pasta 1 minute less than the package instructions and cook it the rest of the way in the pan with sauce.

Mario Batali

8. After making eggs sunny-side up, deglaze the pan with sherry vinegar, then drizzle the sauce on the eggs to add another dimension to the dish.

Didier Elena

9. After working with garlic, rub your hands vigorously on your stainless steel sink for 30 seconds before washing them. It will remove the odor.

Gerard Craft

10. Brine, baby, brine! Ya gotta brine that poultry to really give it the super flavor.

GOT7’s Jackson Forced to Choose Between ‘Goo Hara vs. Suzy’ and ‘SM vs. YG’

GOT7’s Jackson was recently put into a sticky situation in which he was forced to make a difficult choice between two options.

During the December 10 broadcast of KBS’ “Vitamin,” the guests were put to a stress test. They were asked to put stress patches on the palms of their hands and were then tested on making difficult decisions.

When it came to Jackson’s turn, he was asked, “The person you want to film a virtual marriage program with…?” and was given the options of two girl group members: KARA’s Goo Hara and miss A’s Suzy. At first, Jackson fell into deep contemplation and said, “I really don’t know.” However, after reaching the verge of tears, he ultimately shouted out “Suzy!” as his final answer.

The next question was also not an easy one: “If you received a scouting (casting) offer to switch companies…?” with the options SM Entertainment and YG Entertainment. As an artist currently under JYP Entertainment, Jackson struggled to answer, instead saying, “This is a really strong [question].” However, after much thought, he ended up choosing YG Entertainment.

Following the completion of the stress test, Jackson expressed, “[The questions] were all stressful,” causing laughter among the other guests.
