Cai Chusheng
In 1934, Wang starred in her most famous film "Song of the Fishermen", directed by Cai Chusheng. She also sang the film's eponymous theme song. The film was a runaway success: it was played in Shanghai for a record 84 days and seen by almost a million people. In 1935 it became the first Chinese film to win an international award, at the inaugural Moscow International Film Festival. Wang Renmei acquired the nickname "Wildcat" from her unrestrained performance as the girl named "Little Cat" in the film.
