Recently, director Zhang Yimou mentioned two actors when asked about China's best actors, but accidentally omitted Zhang Ziyi, who has won praise on the international stage, a remark that sparked widespread controversy and speculation.
As an important figure in the Chinese film industry, Zhang Yimou's evaluation has a certain authority and influence. His list of the best actors makes one think about the criteria and diversity of actor evaluations. There may be differences in the standards of recognition of actors by each director and the audience, and the two actors mentioned by Zhang Yimou may have unique artistic charm and expressiveness in his eyes, while Zhang Ziyi was not selected, perhaps because her performance in the domestic market did not meet the director's expectations.
On the other hand, Zhang Ziyi's performance in the domestic film market has been controversial in recent years. Although she has gained a reputation on the international stage, her status and reputation in the domestic film industry have not been smooth sailing. The style of her work and the taste of the audience may be different from Zhang Yimou's aesthetic, which may also be one of the reasons why she is not included in the list of the best actors.
From a personal point of view, the evaluation of actors should comprehensively consider their performance in different types of films and their ability to shape the role, rather than simply using domestic and foreign influence as a criterion. As an actor with an international perspective, Zhang Ziyi has made important contributions to the international dissemination of Chinese films, and her challenges in the domestic market are also part of the development of China's film industry. We should maintain an objective and comprehensive attitude towards the performance of actors, and encourage them to show more possibilities and talents in different fields.
Looking to the future, with the continuous development and internationalization of the Chinese film market, the evaluation criteria for actors may become more diversified and open. We hope that directors can evaluate actors more objectively and fairly, and give them more opportunities and space to show their talents. At the same time, it is hoped that the actors can win wider recognition and appreciation in the continuous growth and progress, and contribute more to the development of China's film industry.
This incident also reminds us that the film and television industry is a field full of competition and change, and actors need to continue to learn and improve, adapt to the needs of the market and audiences, in order to achieve better results in this era full of opportunities and challenges.
