"Nanking!" actress Gao Yuanyuan in fright

Mainland actress Gao Yuanyuan, who stars in the upcoming Nanjing Massacre flick "Nanking! Nanking!", is seen this set of feature photos.

Her new role in this Lu Chuan film, breaking away from her stereotypical innocent characters previously, is seen as the turing point of her acting career,

"Nanking!" director Lu Chuan, who established his name on the widely-acclaimed film "Ke Ke Xi Li", once planned a psycho thriller in 2006 with Gao Yuanyuan on his cast agenda, but the film fell through eventually.

"Nanking! Nanking!" will hit the screen across China on April 22.
