"The success of one movie after another, the superb interpretation of each role, made her successfully stand out in the entertainment industry, in the face of such a huge success, she was not satisfied with the status quo, but continued to embark on a higher star journey. ”
In 1997, in order to prepare for the filming of the new film "My Father and Mother", director Zhang Yimou happened to see a photo when casting the role, and the person in the photo was Zhang Ziyi, a student of the 96-level acting class of the Central Academy of Drama.
After seeing Zhang Ziyi's photo, director Zhang Yimou immediately decided to invite Zhang Ziyi to play the heroine, and expressed his expectations and appreciation for Zhang Ziyi through letters.
Zhang Ziyi also won the Best Actress Award at the 23rd Popular Film Hundred Flowers Awards for the movie "My Father and Mother" because of this opportunity.
Director Zhang was deeply fascinated by the purity and bookishness of this graduate's temperament. He had gone to Zhang Ziyi's school many times to find this graduate, and had in-depth conversations with her many times. During these conversations, he made no secret of his strong interest in working with the graduate, and gave her a detailed description of his own film work and his vision for it.
For Zhang Ziyi, this is undoubtedly a great opportunity sent by God. When she was in the Chinese opera, she and her classmate Liu Ye once secretly laughed at herself that it was impossible for her to become a movie star, but she didn't expect the opportunity to come so quickly. When she was favored by director Zhang Yimou and starred in the movie "My Father and Mother" directed by him, and won the Best Actress Award at the 23rd Popular Film Hundred Flowers Awards, she herself was very surprised, such luck befell her head, it is really rare.
Therefore, Zhang Ziyi seized this rare opportunity and started her own film road, in the following time, she shot many excellent movies, and achieved good results, becoming a sister in the Chinese film industry So, when we encounter an opportunity, we must cherish it and strive for it, maybe we will get unexpected surprises.
Zhang Ziyi grabbed the olive branch given by Zhang Yimou, trained day and night, and finally perfectly interpreted the role of the heroine Zhao Di. Zhang Yimou's vision is really sharp, Zhang Ziyi not only has outstanding appearance, but also first-class acting skills, and her role as Zhao Di has won the love and praise of the audience. "My Father and Mother" received rave reviews as soon as it was released, and Zhang Ziyi also reached the pinnacle of her life for the first time, and won major awards softly, becoming the new favorite of the mainland entertainment industry.
In the following ten years, Zhang Ziyi was hungry and thirsty to learn from the excellent experience and skills of those famous directors. During this time, she collaborated with Ang Lee on the film Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, which won several international awards and is considered a classic of Chinese martial arts cinema. She also played a role in Spielberg's film Memoirs of a Geisha, which also received high international acclaim.
After that, Zhang Ziyi has successively cooperated with a number of famous directors, these experiences have allowed her to constantly break through herself, constantly surpass herself, so that her acting skills are becoming more and more exquisite, in the film industry, more and more people's attention Zhang Ziyi has successfully performed her own style in these internationally renowned directors and films, and with her outstanding performance, she has won many domestic and international awards and honors These experiences and honors have also made her a representative figure in the Chinese film industry, and her acting skills and charm have won the love and respect of audiences around the world。
However, Zhang Ziyi's ambition is too strong, which is also one of her major weaknesses, which has had a certain impact on her film career. At the Berlin Film Festival, her behavior of disregarding her image in order to steal the spotlight attracted strong criticism from many seniors present. Her behavior has made people question her, thinking that she pays too much attention to her image and popularity, and ignores the artistic value and cultural connotation of the film itself.
This obvious distinction between inconsistencies and inconsistencies also made people dissatisfied and criticized her behavior and attitude.
Zhang Ziyi's achievements in the film and television industry are almost unparalleled, she does not rely on external good luck or resources, but an innate internal motivation. It is with this strength that she started as an ordinary actor and gained domestic and international recognition step by step. It can be said that Zhang Ziyi was able to stand out among many outstanding actors because of her firm perseverance and unremitting efforts, which is also a quality that each of us should learn and pursue.
A private life that has hit a wall many times
It is inevitable to experience all kinds of setbacks and difficulties in the course of private life, and many times, they are seen as personal pains and experiences, which are rarely known to others. However, some people's private lives are made up of continuous frustrations related to relationships, work, love, and personal goals. Such people often feel that their lives are out of control and feel that they cannot overcome these setbacks to the point of not being able to move on.
Zhang Ziyi's career has been smooth sailing and has made many achievements, but in terms of love life, Zhang Ziyi's relationship has been controversial. In 2004, Zhang Ziyi's street photography romance with the rich second-generation Huo Qishan attracted widespread public attention, and the sweet expressions and intimate movements of the two were completely recorded by the camera and became a hot topic of discussion. Zhang Ziyi's relationship with Huo Qishan has attracted much attention from the media and the public, and this relationship has also changed Zhang Ziyi's image to a certain extent, some people believe that Zhang Ziyi began to pursue material and fame and fortune, while ignoring the essence of love.
Despite this, Zhang Ziyi did not give up her pursuit of love because of this, and she still firmly followed her own path.
However, the good times did not last long, and the two died of illness after a few months, and the real reason is still unknown.
Since Zhang Ziyi's debut, Zhang Ziyi has been rumored to have been in love with a number of diamond kings worth hundreds of millions, although they all ended in breakups, Zhang Ziyi is still sought after and loved by many fans. The most dramatic time was when Zhang Ziyi fell in love with a Chinese billionaire who was 20 years older than her, and the two even exposed the news of their engagement, which amazed the entire entertainment industry.
Zhang Ziyi has tried on a wedding dress and is ready to enter a wealthy family, which is undoubtedly a major turning point in her life.
However, before signing the property notarization, Zhang Ziyi temporarily repented and chose to end the relationship, making this relationship disappear without a trace. Her silence and low profile in the media also make people wonder if her frustrated romance is also because she doesn't want the public to know about her private life, and at the same time, it also avoids unnecessary disturbances.
The occurrence of these things made many people begin to doubt Zhang Ziyi, speculating whether she chose to date a rich person for money, and her feelings became no longer pure.
It wasn't until she made her public love affair with Wang Feng, the lead singer of the famous Chinese rock band, in 2015 and started a family soon after, that the restless heart, which had been plagued by deep scars, gradually calmed down after a long period of precipitation.
Although Zhang Ziyi was labeled as a junior because of this, she did not regret her relationship with Wang Feng, after all, it was the best memory of her youth. In the days when she had no guesses with Wang Feng, Zhang Ziyi encountered difficulties and obstacles countless times, but she never gave up, she firmly believed that as long as she persevered, she could get the happiness she wanted.
Now, Zhang Ziyi has found her home, and the relationship between her and Wang Feng has become a thing of the past, but she does not regret her choice, because that relationship made her stronger and braver.
Looking back, I had a time when I had a good time. In the days when I was appreciated and valued by others, I felt that my existence was so meaningful. I do my best in my work and always complete my tasks well, which is highly praised by my leaders and colleagues. I also have very good interpersonal relationships and get along very well with everyone. I also have a warm family, and the love and support of my family gives me a lot of motivation.
At that time, I felt very proud and satisfied, because I knew that my efforts were paying off, however, the good times did not last long, and I gradually fell into an embarrassing situation.
Zhang Ziyi, who used to be a popular fried chicken in the film industry, has won many honors and awards in the past, including the Best Actress Award in many films and a regular on the red carpet at international film festivals, which are all her honors and achievements as an actor. However, in recent years, her career has begun to face some challenges and confusions.
It's been a long time since her real representative work has been published, which has also caused some doubts and criticism.
Zhang Ziyi has frequently appeared in various variety shows and talent shows in recent years, which makes people have to doubt her true purpose. Although she constantly stressed that she just wanted to take this opportunity to relax and get away from the heavy filming work, she couldn't hide her true purpose. In the shows she participates in, she constantly shows her talent and charm, attracting the attention of many viewers.
Although these shows have increased her exposure to a certain extent, they have also made people doubt her true purpose, and as time goes by, her reputation and image have gradually declined, from a first-line actress to a "topic queen", people have begun to pay attention to her private life and relationship problems, and these problems seem to have become her main means of attracting attention, however, this method does not really solve the problems she faces, but instead puts her in a deeper predicament.
People began to question her true level and work ethic, believing that she did not hesitate to sacrifice her image and career for the sake of exposure, which not only affected her image, but also put her career at great riskZhang Ziyi's example reminds us that no matter what field you are in, we should always maintain our authenticity and honesty, and do not sacrifice our image and career for the sake of pursuing temporary interests, only in this way can we truly win the respect and trust of the audience and peers.
If Zhang Ziyi foresaw the previous events, the last two encounters were undoubtedly after she fell, and she made up for it with two kicks. Once at an important film festival, film master Chen Kaige directly stopped her and gave up the central position to the popular student Zhang Songwen without hesitation.
Zhang Ziyi stood in the corner, watching the others laugh and laugh, her face couldn't hold back. Recently at Paris Fashion Week, Zhang Ziyi and a group of small Internet celebrities were placed outside the door, and they queued for more than 40 minutes before barely entering.
She used to be a regular at this venue, but now her place has been occupied by many international movie stars and up-and-coming goddesses.
There are all kinds of signs that Zhang Ziyi, who used to wear a seasonal dress, has now become a member of the crowd, and the aura on her body is fading rapidly. However, just a few years ago, she was still the limelight of the stars, and this contrast is embarrassing.
Reflect and start over
Zhang Ziyi seems to be gradually losing ground. She has been a frequent visitor to the red carpet of film festivals, an A-list actress surrounded by many stars, and a perennial owner of domestic actresses and overseas awards. However, a series of recent signs, such as being put on the spot by Chen Kaige and no longer glamorous at Paris Fashion Week, all show this trend.
These blows undoubtedly gave Zhang Ziyi a hard slap in the face, making her realize that she needed to reflect and be reborn.
Zhang Ziyi has long regarded money and fame as the most important thing in her life, and she will not hesitate to pay any price for it. Although she may have started out of a love of acting, her behavior has gradually gone off the rails.
After countless nights of tossing and turning, she began to deeply reflect on her acting career. She began to wonder if she was too blindly believing that ambition could be the magic weapon to reach the top, or whether she really didn't deserve the aura of that "actress"? Over the years, the criticism of her has gradually become clear - her acting skills have become more and more artificial, and she has been surpassed by those who come after her.
Out of vanity, Zhang Ziyi chose to turn a blind eye for a long time. Now all kinds of frustrations in Vanity Fair make her have to face up to her own problems. Indeed, ambition and enthusiasm alone are not enough to achieve greatness, she must continue to learn and improve with a humble attitude in order to rejuvenate her acting skills.
Therefore, Zhang Ziyi decided to put aside the hype and topics for the time being, quietly stay away from the hustle and bustle of the world, and seriously prepare for the next breakthrough. Some may think that this is just a stopgap measure, but it is okay to take a step back once in a while and make way for young people.
She is convinced that as long as she insists on recovering her original heart and winning with her solid acting skills, she will definitely be able to inadvertently impress the audience and promote her acting career to a higher level of glory.
