Finally, Marvel has its first Chinese superhero movie!
A few days ago, "Shangqi and the Legend of the Ten Rings", starring Liu Simu, Liang Chaowei, Yang Ziqiong and others, is being released in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and the overall evaluation is quite good.
I think the biggest surprise is Yang Ziqiong's participation.
In Hollywood, she is a kung fu superstar who can compete with Jackie Chan, and has conquered global audiences with her superb acting skills and kung fu.
Yu Xiulian, who is stoic and tenacious in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and the mysterious and elegant Bang girl in 007's "Empire of Tomorrow".
However, if you only use the simple "beating woman" to describe her, it is too superficial.
01
In 1962, Yang Ziqiong was born in Malaysia to a Chinese family.
His grandfather was a Malaysian public transport tycoon, while his father was also well-known and established in Malaysia.
Yang Ziqiong is the pearl in the palm of the family and has been pampered since childhood.
She began studying ballet at the age of 4 and was admitted to the Royal Academy of Dance in London at the age of 15.
If it weren't for a spinal injury later on, she might have become a professional ballet dancer.
After graduating from the Dance Academy, Yang Ziqiong returned to Malaysia.
It just happened to be the miss Malaysia selection, and her mother took it upon herself to help her register, but she did not expect that she actually won a championship.
Subsequently, she represented Malaysia to participate in a beauty pageant in Melbourne, Australia, and won the title of "Miss Melbourne".
Winning the beauty pageant championship in succession also provides an opportunity for Yang Ziqiong to step into the show business circle.
At the beginning, a Hong Kong director invited her and Jackie Chan to shoot a set of watch advertisements. Soon after, she and Zhou Runfa filmed another set of watch advertisements.
In the same year, she was signed by the film company and officially began her career as an actress.

Initially, Yang Ziqiong was not a star setting, and she could also be very gentle and intellectual with long hair and a soft face.
But at that time, Most of Hong Kong movies were martial arts films.
In order to perform her first action film "Royal Master Sister", Yang Ziqiong went to the Hongjia class to learn martial arts for half a year, practicing hard every day.
With this film, she was nominated for the Academy Awards for Best Newcomer that year.
Since then, Yang Ziqiong has continued to act in action movies, and her partners are also first-line celebrities such as Jackie Chan and Jet Li.
In that era, every punch and kick of an actor was a real punch.
It is not like showing some flower fist embroidery legs and still can't move to engage in "slow motion playback", fake is fake!
Because of her dedication and ability to endure hardships, Yang Ziqiong has also become the first female lead actress of action movies, and many of her fight scenes do not use stand-ins.
In order to be able to shoot a scene, she is the "desperate three ladies" respected and worshiped by countless Hong Kong stars.
In 1995, Yang Ziqiong jumped from an 18-meter-high bridge while filming "Akin's Story" and accidentally broke her cervical spine, which took a long time to recover.
After the release of this movie, the end of the film also deliberately played the subtitle of "Greetings to Yang Ziqiong and Wu Xing".
Director Ang Lee once revealed that Yang Ziqiong broke the large ligament in her left knee when filming "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and after recovering from the injury, she filmed for two weeks, and her hamstring was broken again.
This is a truly respectable actor.
Over the years, she learned a new skill almost every time she made a movie.
For example, in "Aung San Suu Kyi", she can speak fluent Burmese; in "Memoirs of a Geisha", she learned to play shamisen and traditional geisha dances, and she can also act as a "teacher" to teach others.

Yang Ziqiong, who plays a heroine in the play, is not a heroine outside the play.
She is the first Chinese to play the 007 Bang Girl, and is a female kung fu superstar who can compete with Jackie Chan in Hollywood.
Zhang Ziyi once said, "In Hollywood, any role with a little content, they would rather give black actors than Asians."
Using her own strength to win glory for the Asian community is what "heroine" Yang Ziqiong is committed to doing.
As early as 2001, she went to the Oscar podium and presented the "Best Visual Effects Award" with Zhou Runfa.
18 years later, she was once again honored as an award guest, and when she awarded the award, she joked with various playful actions, and there was no tension at all.
It is said that in recent years, the red carpet of Cannes has fallen off the altar, and the reason is nothing more than that some small stars and small Internet celebrities have come to rub the red carpet.
But! The real footage of the Cannes red carpet is for these people!
Just like Yang Ziqiong, cannes red carpet record of 3 minutes and 03 seconds, from the moment he got out of the car, he became the focus of foreign media shots.
She has also spoken at the United Nations General Assembly aimed at empowering women and children.
From a rich family to a chief hit girl to a Hollywood Chinese superstar, Yang Ziqiong is a true legend.
