At the 33rd Academy Awards Ceremony, Maggie Cheung and Andy Lau, who have not appeared for a long time, jointly presented the "Best Actress" award.
In this tense atmosphere, the two awardees opened the list, and when they saw the content on the paper, the smile on Maggie Cheung's face seemed to freeze at once, and then immediately made a gesture to ask Andy Lau to read it.
When Andy Lau announced that the winner was Zhang Ziyi, Zhang Ziyi smiled and walked to the front of the stage, and Maggie Cheung also hugged Zhang Ziyi.
What happened next, however, made the scene extremely embarrassing. "Hua Tsai" originally wanted to hand the trophy to Maggie Cheung, hoping that she would award it to Zhang Ziyi, but what people did not expect was that although Maggie Cheung was smiling, she took two steps back in a row, and had no intention of awarding the award to Zhang Ziyi.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little anxious, "Hua Tsai" had to hand over the trophy to Zhang Ziyi, and Maggie Cheung's reaction was more rapid, she immediately walked away, and stood silently in the far corner when Zhang Ziyi gave her testimonial.
And "Maggie Cheung refused to present the award to Zhang Ziyi" also became the biggest news of the night. To this end, many netizens began to investigate the intersection of the two in the past, but found that the gap between the two sides may have been traced as early as the filming of the movie "Hero" in 2002.
Since more than 20 years of filming, Maggie Cheung has created countless classic roles with her superb acting skills, and has enjoyed high popularity after being crowned several times as a double film of the "Golden Horse Award" and the "Golden Film Award".
At this time, Maggie Cheung has long been a big star in the sky, and Zhang Ziyi has just debuted, with the role she played in "My Father and Mother", she has just emerged, and in terms of industry qualifications, it can be said that she is the younger descendant of Maggie Cheung.
But it is such a descendant who stole the limelight from Maggie Cheung in the "Hero" produced by Zhang Yimou. In 2002, Maggie Cheung served as the heroine of the film, and the second daughter was handed over to Zhang Ziyi, who was just popular at the time.
Unexpectedly, with the deepening of film production, Maggie Cheung's role became less and less, and the extra scenes were moved to Zhang Ziyi, resulting in the final release of the movie, Maggie Cheung's "Fei Xue" was obviously the heroine, but the character modeling was particularly thin; and the female number two "Ru Yue" played by Zhang Ziyi was full of images.
In this regard, it is difficult for Maggie Cheung's heart to say that there is no mustard. However, as a film queen who has been working hard in the circle for many years and has long been famous internationally, she is not willing to worry with the fledgling descendants, and the overall effect presented by the film is good, and she has no reason to contradict Zhang Yimou, so the matter is quietly abandoned.
But what is the reason that makes her put down the harsh words: "Even if you give me a billion, I will not cooperate with her again"?
Two years later, in the classic work "2046" by "Ghost Director" Wong Kar-wai, Maggie Cheung once again starred in the same film as Zhang Ziyi, but this time she suffered another loss.
Wong Kar-wai made two words for the film - "Xuanhu", which has long been known. He didn't have a script for filming, and the shooting time was very long, and he liked to delete it after shooting. Many actors, even after filming, dare not assert what the final cut will look like. But Maggie Cheung's encounter in "2046" can still be said to be unique.
At first, I thought it was the starring female Number One "Su Lizhen", and I became a "special appearance", and after the film, Maggie Cheung's role was reduced to only a few figures, adding up to almost thirty seconds. As for the more prominent role, it is still given to Zhang Ziyi's role "Bai Ling".
In the mainland release version of "2046", Maggie Cheung's shot was even more tragically "cut out", and she became a "dubbing" who "only heard her voice and did not see her people", and became a "nominal heroine".
"2046" was nominated at the 57th Cannes Film Festival, but among the crew members led by Wong Kar-wai, Maggie Cheung could not be found.
When the reporter asked Maggie Cheung about this, she replied bluntly that she had only prepared a dress for the movie "Cleaning". As for "2046", she doesn't even know if she is a member of the film.
However, the costume prepared by Maggie Cheung finally came in handy. On the same day, with her moving acting skills in the movie "Cleaning", she won the cannes film queen throne and became a famous Chinese actress in the world.
2005's Memoirs of a Geisha is believed to have exacerbated the delicate relationship between Zhang Ziyi and Maggie Cheung to some extent. According to rumors, the heroine of the film", "Little Lily", the actor who was originally the director's favorite actor was not Zhang Ziyi, but Maggie Cheung.
But Maggie Cheung considered that "Memoirs of a Geisha" was a Japanese-themed film, out of personal patriotism and to avoid being attacked by public opinion, she finally and unequivocally refused the filmmaker's invitation.
In this regard, she also mentioned in an interview with foreign media: "... I also pushed out many films, including Memoirs of a Geisha. I don't want to be back in my hometown, but I'm going to be told to betray our culture for the sake of film remuneration..."
In the end, Zhang Ziyi starred as the heroine of "Memoirs of a Geisha" and became internationally famous with this film.
Maggie Cheung's previous worries were not unreasonable. This film, which focuses on Japanese geisha, caused widespread controversy in China as soon as it was released, many viewers gave bad reviews, and Zhang Ziyi's reputation in China was also damaged.
But for the shrewd Zhang Ziyi, the significance of participating in "Memoirs of a Geisha" undoubtedly outweighs the doubts of the outside world - she has the only "Hollywood" movie in which she starred.
Perhaps it is the "confrontation" in the filming process of these several times that makes Maggie Cheung and Zhang Ziyi inexplicably have a gap. A reporter once asked Maggie Cheung how she viewed Zhang Ziyi, and her answer was quite reverie: "I can't give her advice, I'm at her age, not as smart as her... I think my set is old, fundamentally different from the times. ”
At the 2018 Huabiao Awards, Zhang Ziyi and the veteran drama bone Chen Daoming were invited to become the guests of honor. Perhaps in order to make the atmosphere more enthusiastic, Chen Daoming asked the former person a bit "knowingly": "Ziyi, have you ever won the Huabiao Award?" ”
As soon as this question came out, Zhang Ziyi couldn't help but smile, because she was a regular visitor to the Huabiao Awards, and had been nominated for best actress four times and won three awards.
So she responded with an attitude of "I also want to keep a low profile, but the strength makes me humble": "You will envy me." I took it three times. Chen Daoming was very surprised to hear this: "Is it that among Chinese actresses, you have the most?" ”
Zhang Ziyi smiled: "At present, it is." She also said: "For young actresses like us..." Chen Daoming immediately teased: "You are a middle-aged actress." And Zhang Ziyi refused to let go of this "Versailles" opportunity, and immediately made up: "When I won the award, I was actually still young. ”
Then, Chen Daoming asked, "Do you know that The Golden Rooster, Hundred Flowers and Huabiao are any different from these three awards?" This stopped Zhang Ziyi, and she couldn't answer the special point of the Huabiao Award for a while, and could only diverge from the topic: "This must be said by you." ”
Perhaps chen Daoming's "digging the roots" has come up, or perhaps he thinks that Zhang Ziyi has won many times in the Huabiao Award, and should have some understanding of this. So he did not relax and continued to ask questions, and had to ask Zhang Ziyi to answer a reason.
Seeing that Chen Daoming refused to give up, and he really couldn't answer it, Zhang Ziyi could only grab Chen Daoming's arm and let him say the answer quickly.
Perhaps finally feeling the embarrassment of the scene, Chen Daoming finally stood up and pulled the atmosphere back to the right track, but what he did not expect was that after he cautiously and solemnly said the importance of the Huabiao Award, Zhang Ziyi quickly added a sentence: "It is exactly the same as what I thought." ”
There was a burst of laughter in the audience, I don't know if it was because the awkward atmosphere was relieved and relieved, or whether the stars were laughing at Zhang Ziyi's somewhat lame self-reliance. But this embarrassing cold sweat scene did leave a subtle impression on the public.
Zhang Ziyi was young and zhang Yimou appreciated and entered the industry, she made a name for herself early in the filming, and got the title of "International Chapter"; and Maggie Cheung is a legend who has been famous for a long time, even if she has been in the film for many years, her domineering record of winning the "Golden Horse Shadow Queen" is still unbreakable. Therefore, there have been many opinions about the seemingly innocent entanglement between these two people several times.
