Africade - the spot for HANKOOK TYRE, starring Chinese actress Jingchu Zhang, famed for her roles in 'Seven Swords' and 'Rush Hour 3', now here for your viewing pleasure on GoSee

GoSee presents the latest commercial for HANKOOK Tire, produced in Cape Town. The spot was filmed on location in Cape Town CBD (=Central Business District).

The film captures the faces of passers-by on a quiet Sunday morning, as they see a fully rigged Mercedes AMG race past them on Long Street.

Over 100 extras had to be coordinated and supervised, as well as Asian actress and A-list celebrity Jingchu Zhang, who was booked at short notice and triumphed the challenge with confidence and charm.

The same goes for the Africade production team, much to the joy of the client and the international team.

Wikipedia states the following on the attractive Chinese celebrity: “Jingchu Zhang is a Chinese film actress. In 1997, she graduated in Directing at the Central Academy of Drama in Beijing. Zhang was brought up in a middle-working class family in the countryside. She studied English in Beijing New Oriental Institute and is fluent in the language.

She came into international prominence through director Gu Changwei's debut film Peacock, which won the Silver Bear at the 2005 Berlin International Film Festival. Zhang went on to star in a number of well-received films, including Tsui Hark's Seven Swords (2005), Derek Yee's Protégé (2007), Florian Gallenberger's John Rabe (2008) and Ann Hui's Night and Fog (2009).

Zhang was named one of "Asia's Heroes" by Time magazine in 2005. In 2006, she also starred alongside Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker in Rush Hour 3 “
