There are not many female stars in China who can really go international, Gong Li 'Gong Huang' counts as one, and Zhang Ziyi's 'International Chapter' also counts as one.
Zhang Ziyi's road to fame is very bumpy, in the process of becoming famous, because of many conflicts with people, she has been criticized by others, which are also the reasons for her bad popularity.
When Zhou Runfa was a guest at the Academy Awards in 2001, he satirized Zhang Ziyi's entry into Hollywood by obedience, education, and feeding Tizi!
When Maggie Cheung was a guest at the Academy Awards in 2013, even in the face of public view, Andy Lau repeatedly pushed and gave in, but also refused to give Zhang Ziyi an award, which once embarrassed the scene.
After Zhang Ziyi and Wang Feng got married, they had a second child in January 2020.
Like many stars, Zhang Ziyi also posted the mood of being a mother on Weibo, pressing her coffee position, there should be many big names in the entertainment industry queuing up to send her blessings.
But there are only a few people in the comment area, and only Meng Meiqi, He Jiong and Zhang Jin are more well-known.
How did this international movie star fall to such a point, and is the popularity of the entertainment industry really so bad?
Zhang Ziyi was born in Beijing in 1979, graduated from the Acting Department of the Central Academy of Drama, Zhang Ziyi is a very ambitious person, even a little utilitarian, she is very eager for the achievements of her predecessor 'Gong Huang' Gong Li, so she tried everything to make herself famous.
When he first debuted about two years ago, Zhang Ziyi was discovered by Zhang Yimou and participated in Zhang Yimou's "My Father and Mother", although Zhang Ziyi may not do well in many places, the professionalism and professionalism of acting are still remarkable.
In this drama, she played the pure and lovely and ingenious interpretation of the hostess to be very good, and also won the Best Actress Award of the Hundred Flowers Film Award in one fell swoop with this role.
As one of the most well-known directors in China, Zhang Yimou's ability to win popular actresses is also beyond doubt, and Zhang Ziyi has also begun to move towards the peak of her career since becoming a 'girl'.
This is very similar to her idol Gong Li, who began to cooperate with Zhang Yimou and slowly moved to the peak of her career.
Gong Li and Zhang Yimou became lovers because of the drama; and Zhang Ziyi also had some scandals with Zhang Yimou.
Zhang Ziyi's road to fame is like fighting monsters and escalating, constantly climbing to the peak, and each step seems to be inseparable from the figure of men, the mainland is famous by Zhang Yimou, and Hollywood is famous by Ang Lee and Jackie Chan.
Through Zhang Yimou's introduction, Zhang Ziyi got to know another big director in China, it was the famous director Li An, who was selecting actresses for the filming of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", because of Zhang Yimou's recommendation, Zhang Ziyi successfully got the role of Yujiaolong.
Ang Lee's ability to direct is well-known in the industry, and this work gathers well-known actors such as Chow Yun-fat, Yang Ziqiong, and Zheng Peipei, which can be said to be ambitious, just to become famous in Hollywood.
And Ang Lee did not disappoint everyone, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" once came out, the international response was huge, and won the Oscar for best foreign language film and other 4 awards, but also the first film in the history of Chinese cinema to win the Oscar for best foreign language film.
Zhang Ziyi also won many awards for her outstanding performance, and rose to prominence in Hollywood.
But if you want to really gain a foothold in Hollywood, these are obviously not enough, Zhang Ziyi took advantage of the situation to lean on another big brother, that is, Jackie Chan, who had already made a breakthrough in Hollywood at that time.
In 2001, Zhang Ziyi starred in "Rush Hour 2" starring Jackie Chan, so he was very close to Jackie Chan.
During the filming process, whenever Jackie Chan finished shooting a shot, Zhang Ziyi was always the first to go up and hand over a towel to help Jackie Chan wipe his sweat, and the action was much faster than Jackie Chan's assistant.
Later, at Jackie Chan's birthday party, someone prepared a mysterious gift for Jackie Chan, and Jackie Chan was curious to inquire, but the person deliberately did not say it, which made Jackie Chan very itchy.
When Jackie Chan walked into the hotel room, Zhang Ziyi immediately rushed out and gave Jackie Chan a few fragrant kisses on the cheek.
Jackie Chan was extremely happy, and hugged Zhang Ziyi with a big laugh: "It turns out that this is my gift, it is too surprising." ”
Zhang Ziyi also smiled very happily, that day drank a lot of wine, the two are also very close, Zhang Ziyi also personally fed Jackie Chan to eat tizi, and when Jackie Chan wanted to spit out the tip core, Zhang Ziyi immediately saw the hand and quickly caught it with his hand.
This scene was exposed by the media and became the talk of everyone after dinner.
When filming "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", I don't know what reason, Zhang Ziyi and Zhou Runfa had a conflict, so this is Zhou Runfa's ridicule of Zhang Ziyi at the Academy Awards.
The guests of honor were Chow Yun-fat and Mui Yanfang, who asked: "How can an actress break into Hollywood?" ”
Zhou Runfa took a meaningful look at Zhang Ziyi under the stage and said, "By obedience, teaching, and feeding Tizi!" ”
At the Academy Awards ceremony, which was widely publicized and widely disseminated, Zhou Runfa satirized Zhang Ziyi so much that Zhang Ziyi could not come to the stage.
Later, when Zhou Runfa was interviewed by the media, he said that when filming "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", there were actresses who wanted to seduce him, and I don't know if it was an allusion to Zhang Ziyi.
And Zhang Ziyi seems to be more than Zhou Runfa in a contradiction, Yang Ziqiong later in an interview, also said that the entire crew of actors and actresses are very happy to cooperate, but do not mention Zhang Ziyi, it is inevitable to let people speculate whether there is discord between them.
The one who has a deeper contradiction with Zhang Ziyi is Maggie Cheung, and the contradiction between the two has almost reached the point of intolerable water and fire, and is well known by many people.
In 2002, Maggie Cheung and Zhang Ziyi filmed "Hero" directed by Zhang Yimou, Maggie Cheung was originally the heroine, but when the film was completed, Maggie Cheung's clips were cut a lot, but Zhang Ziyi's clips were more and more, which led to Maggie Cheung's very dissatisfied, and also became the beginning of the contradiction between the two.
But what really worsened the two was Wong Kar-wai's "2046".
Maggie Cheung was originally the original heroine of the movie, and Maggie Cheung also made a lot of efforts for this role, but when the movie was released, Maggie Cheung was left with only a back, and all the scenes were almost deleted.
This made Maggie Cheung even more disgusted with Zhang Ziyi, and once swore: "I will never share the stage with Zhang Ziyi again in this life." ”
This triggered the stage accident of the 2013 Academy Awards, when Maggie Cheung learned that the award was to be awarded to Zhang Ziyi, she was reluctant to read Zhang Ziyi's name.
Later, Andy Lau read it out, and In order to ease the relationship between Maggie Cheung and Zhang Ziyi, Andy Lau repeatedly asked Maggie Cheung to present the award, but he did not expect that Maggie Cheung firmly refused.
Andy Lau had no choice but to award the award to Zhang Ziyi himself, and as soon as Zhang Ziyi took the stage, Maggie Cheung immediately stepped down and left.
It's just that at this time, Zhang Ziyi has gone through the wind and waves, and has not shown embarrassment, and has left with a generous acceptance of the award.
Zhang Yimou also expressed his views on Zhang Ziyi, who was popular: "If she is not so utilitarian in some aspects, I dare say that her future will be brighter." ”
In fact, in the process of pursuing a career, people will inevitably offend some people, as long as they do not frame others and have no shame, Zhang Ziyi is a very ambitious, very sharp person, perhaps because of this, it is easy to offend people.
