How did Zhang Yimou find Zhang Ziyi?

Zhang Yimou is a famous director, screenwriter and actor in China. He has had many achievements and achievements in his life, and he has also won many artists and stars. Zhang Ziyi is one of the earliest "girls", and they are closely related. How Zhang Yimou discovered Zhang Ziyi is also one of the curious questions! It is said that people who dig wells will never forget their draft. Now it's a craze in Zhang Ziyi entertainment circle. So are Zhang Ziyi and Zhang Yimou still cooperating?

The first collaboration between Zhang Ziyi and Zhang Yimou was in the film My Mom and Dad, which is also Zhang Ziyi's second work since his debut and his famous work. Many people asked Zhang Yimou why he chose Zhang Ziyi to star in this film. After all, Zhang Ziyi's looks are not amazing. At that time, there were actually many outstanding actors with great fame and good acting skills to choose from. Moreover, Zhang Ziyi was not famous at that time, even just a newcomer starring in the film.

After many years, many netizens wondered if there were any hidden rules. In fact, the actresses appointed by Zhang Yimou are not attractive in appearance, just like the recent Zhou Dongyu, but their roles have become classics mainly because Zhang Yimou's casting is based on suitability, not on whether the face value can satisfy the audience. This is what many directors should learn, and it also shows that directors can't just look at "fame" and "high face value" when casting.

However, there is no cooperation between Zhang Yimou and Zhang Ziyi, and now Zhang Ziyi's status is similar to that of Zhang Yimou, and he is an old-timer in the entertainment circle. Recently, he made a big splash in The Birth of an Actor, and made sharp comments on the young actors who participated in the program and played Yan Shi. However, we very much hope to see the cooperation between Zhang Ziyi and Zhang Yimou again. Hope to have a chance in the future!
