Where was Zhang Ziyi, Gong Li and Yang Ziqiong's Geisha filmed in Japan?

Memoirs of a Geisha, a large-scale film made by Steven Allan Spielberg, has attracted much attention. The film was originally scheduled to be shot in Los Angeles and Tokyo. Unexpectedly, it was strongly resisted by the Japanese and refused to rent the studio. The biggest reason is that this Japanese-themed film does not use Japanese actors as the leading role.

Memoirs of a Geisha was filmed by Columbia Pictures. This film is based on the best-selling novel that caused a sensation all over the world, and tells the story of Japanese geisha and memoirs of geisha. Made in Steven Allan Spielberg,

Moulin Rouge was directed by Rob Ma Xiao, and Zhang Ziyi played the heroine's memoirs of a geisha. Gong Li and Yang Ziqiong also played important roles in the film, but none of the Japanese actresses played important roles, which caused strong dissatisfaction among the Japanese.

It is reported that Toyo Studio in Japan was originally one of the partners of Memoirs of a Geisha, but now they may refuse to give in to the Colombian company. According to the staff of Dongying Studio, the Japanese side was very unhappy that a story about the Japanese used foreign actors, especially memoirs of a geisha, and he chose Zhang Ziyi, a popular actress in China. "At least Japanese actors should be chosen."

At the same time, the Japanese side is very dissatisfied with the incorrect understanding of that history and culture by American producers. The Japanese side said, "Geisha do bring people recreation and joy, but they are always regarded as artists, not prostitutes as they describe them."
