Why do so many directors use Zhang Ziyi?

I'm a fans of hers. Maybe the landlord didn't know Zhang Ziyi very well. At the beginning, I also hated Zhang Ziyi, playing big cards and having an affair.

LS is right. Zhang Ziyi can earn a lot of attention now, and the media needs a "Zhang Ziyi" to attract everyone's attention. It used to be Gong Li, and now it's Zhang Ziyi's turn. You should know that the pen is in the hands of the media, and all the important things in Zhang Ziyi are written in the pen, and the language in many reports is mostly inflammatory when you look closely. In the past, Zhang Ziyi was vilified by the Hong Kong media. As a Beijinger, Zhang Ziyi had a stubborn temper and refused to be interviewed by the Hong Kong media for a long time, so he would "play the big card".

If you want to really understand a person, the best way is to have real face-to-face contact, and secondly, through talk shows, I believe that neither Zhang Ziyi's hypocrisy nor the media's hypocrisy can escape your eyes.

Why does the director like to use Zhang Ziyi?

Zhang Yimou likes the beauty under the lens of Zhang Ziyi, and Zhang Yimou is a photographer. The roles he chooses are more about the beauty of the camera. The heroines he chooses generally don't fall in love with the country, but they feel very good under the camera, such as Gong Li, Zhang Ziyi and Angel. Moreover, the films he made are mostly won by scenes and colors, and the more obvious ones are My Father and Mother and Hero.

Ang Lee didn't like Zhang Ziyi very much at that time, because Zhang Ziyi was just a newcomer at that time, and her temperament was not quite in line with the original work. It was possible to replace her at one time. However, with only a 1% chance, Zhang Ziyi made 12% efforts to win the role of Yu Jiaolong, and cried many times during the six-month filming. If you want to talk about scheming, then I have nothing to say. Efforts without harming the interests of others can't be called scheming, which requires more courage, persistence and initiative. Zhang Ziyi's efforts with Chow Yun Fat and Yang Ziqiong have brought great success to Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, which won ten nominations and four Oscars, including the best foreign language film. Of course, a great part of Zhang Ziyi's growth is attributed to Ang Lee, who fully excavated the tenacity in Zhang Ziyi's life and the sexiness on the screen.

When filming 246, Wong Kar-wai brought in countless big-name actors. Look at the cast: Tony Leung Chiu Wai, Zhang zhen, Kimura Takuya, Maggie Cheung, Gong Li, Faye Wong, Carina Lau, Dong Jie and Zhang Ziyi, which is also the consistent style of Wong Kar-wai's filming. In addition, he is always used to constantly letting actors show their true feelings under the camera. Wong Kar-wai makes most films without scripts, including "246", which may be because he doesn't want to be bound, and he needs a lot of film to find his feelings. It is quite normal for him to shoot 3~4 films in one camera. Some people say that Wong Kar-wai is too addicted to himself, which is true, but literature and art are very self-centered. Personally, I think that art does not need the support of materialism. Wong Kar-wai's evaluation of Zhang Ziyi is that "many people ask me why I use Zhang Ziyi, because they don't know Zhang Ziyi at all. Zhang Ziyi has many possibilities in front of the camera. As long as you keep asking, she will keep moving forward." Zhang Ziyi won the most performance time among many female movie stars in 246-although it was only 3 minutes, it was the greatest affirmation for Zhang Ziyi, and Zhang Ziyi won the best actress in the Hong Kong Academy Award for her performance of only 3 minutes.

During this period, I also filmed "The House of the Beaver" in Japan. Seijun Suzuki is a famous director in Japan, and Zhang Ziyi plays a "fox" who falls in love with the prince, and plays with Odagiri Joe. The director said, "What I need is a beautiful role." Because he is 8 years old, this may be his last film, but Japanese actresses can't satisfy him, so he finally found Zhang Ziyi. Although Zhang Ziyi doesn't speak Japanese, and she is half Japanese and half Chinese in the film, the director is still very satisfied with her, and he wants to be responsible for his final work.

Rush Hour 2 belongs entirely to Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, which has brought Zhang Ziyi great influence and an extra reward. Zhang Ziyi's martial arts scene in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon beat Jet Li and was rated as the best martial arts scene of the year, so the director hit it off when he found her. Zhang Ziyi also got special treatment in Rush Hour 2, and ate a lot of anti-hero scenes, all of which were concentrated on Zhang Ziyi.

The final Memoirs of a Geisha is starring three China actresses, Gong Li, Yang Ziqiong and Zhang Ziyi, instead of Japanese actresses, which can be said to be an affirmation of China's films. Spielberg started to make this film eight years ago, and finally he chose Zhang Ziyi. One is that Zhang Ziyi has the temperament of Sayuri, and the other is Zhang Ziyi's great influence in the world. Although the film was not a great success, Zhang Ziyi was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Memoirs of a Geisha.

As for Xiaogang Feng and Chen Kaige coming to Zhang Ziyi to play, a large part of the reason is to consider the international market. After the premiere of The Banquet in Cannes, Xiaogang Feng said to Zhang Ziyi, "Thank you for taking me to the red carpet."

"I can proudly say that I didn't disappoint any director." Zhang Ziyi didn't disappoint any film. Of course, you must say that Zhang Ziyi has no acting skills, and most of the people who awarded the prizes are blind, so I have nothing to say. Art appreciation is not science, but objectivity is great digestion. Personal subjective color can account for 8% in it. Of course, I personally bring personal feelings and try my best to give LZ an objective statement, but I still hope LZ can understand for himself that a person's success is certainly not inevitable. If everyone is annoying, he will not be so confident.
