Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi have not only won high recognition in the domestic film industry, but also shown the demeanor of Chinese actresses on the international stage.
Although Zhang Ziyi was often compared to Gong Li at the beginning of her debut, she gradually created her own screen image with her unremitting efforts and became a unique "international chapter".
Zhang Ziyi's road to fame began when she entered the Central Academy of Drama.
In 1996, she became a member of the Chinese opera acting class, which was later hailed as the cradle of future stars. At that time, the teacher had a unique vision, and carefully selected eight students with great potential from many children who studied dance and opera, and were known as the "Eight Golden Hairpins" by the outside world.
Zhang Ziyi was originally a dancer student, but due to an accidental injury, she had to give up her dance dream and apply for the Central Academy of Drama instead. Although she didn't know anything about acting at the time, the teacher saw a different temperament and talent in her.
Zhang Ziyi's appearance and figure are undoubtedly an important capital for her success.
As can be seen from the early photos, she has delicate facial features, slender limbs, and long-term dance training has given her a toned physique.
This unique appearance condition laid a solid foundation for her outstanding performance in martial arts action movies in the future. Not only that, but her youthful image of a girl is also unforgettable, and that sultry potential is revealed in front of the camera.
And what really made Zhang Ziyi stand out was the movie "My Father and Mother" starring her in college.
In this film, she won the love and recognition of the audience with her sincere and touching performance, and also marked her official entry into the entertainment industry. Subsequently, with her wonderful performance in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", she successfully entered the international film industry and won the Academy Award with her team.
Since then, the title of "International Chapter" has been closely associated with her and has become a resounding business card in her acting career.
The famous director Zhang Yimou said: "Zhang Ziyi is a very persevering actress. "During the filming process, she always put her heart and soul into the role, trying to bring out the best performance possible.
Her smile is as warm as a spring breeze, and her white teeth and perfect facial features are unforgettable.
These talents, coupled with her acquired hard work, have made her achieve remarkable results in her acting career.
Not only that, Zhang Ziyi's influence on the international stage is also expanding. She has been invited to participate in international film festivals and award ceremonies many times, and has exchanged and cooperated with filmmakers from all over the world, winning more attention and praise for Chinese films.
From a young girl to an international superstar, Zhang Ziyi's gorgeous turn not only highlights her personal talent and charm, but also reflects the rise and influence of Chinese films on the international stage.
