In 2014, she co-starred with Hong Kong action hero Chow Yun-Fat in "From Vegas to Macau," the fourth entry in his long-running "God of Gamblers" franchise. That same year, she made an assured leap into action films with the Donnie Yen crime vehicle "Special ID," and teamed with another martial arts superstar, Jackie Chan, in "Police Story 2013," playing the wayward daughter of his tough detective. After a year-long recurring role in the television drama "An Epic of a Woman" (Jiangsu Broadcasting Corporation, 2009), Jing returned to feature roles in light romantic comedies like "My Belle Boss" (2010) and "Better and Better" (2013).
