Princess of China

Rihanna and Coldplay create music video for song Princess Of China. The video for the rock song, depicts Rihanna and Chris Martin in a Asian-style battle is directed by Adria Petty, who says:

It’s a music video, you’re not really held to any narrative structure. Once we had the movie trailer format, we wanted to celebrate something visual and Asian-inspired across the board, but nothing too prescriptive. Thus, they planned a sequence of acrobatic martial arts scenes and dubbed Rihanna’s violent damsel character the “Geisha Assassin” and Chris Martin’s hero “The Returning Ronin.”
