The legendary Gong Li plays
Shin Yung, who is a witch.
The witch is a human weapon.
She is someone with
quite strong powers
that can morph at any time.
Her look is quite modern
mixed with elements
of her animal other.
Her eyes and her
makeup are hooded
like a hawk's in the
form of a white mask.
I could tear you to pieces
before you blink.
All my research
for her was based
on the hawks, on bones,
on feathers.
Her costumes were
very difficult to build
because it was all
hand-stitched.
When I first saw the
witch's costume,
I think it's mysterious
and stunning,
it really brings the
character alive.
