WELCOME TO MY ZHANG ZIYI SITE
This is a UK site dedicated to Zhang Ziyi.
Zhang Ziyi came into the spotlight after her role in the international hit Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon alongside Chow Yun Fat and Michelle Yeoh. Despite one movie under her belt, The Road Home and skilled in dancing rather than martial arts, Ziyi produces a highly charged and convincing performance as Jen Yu. Zhang Ziyi has enhanced her resume with her performance as baddie Hu Li in Rush Hour 2 with Martial Arts maestro Jackie Chan and Wise-cracking Chris Tucker. Ziyi has also since starred in a Hong Kong production of the Legend of Zu, a remake of Zu Magic from Magic Mountains.
After this she went on to make Hero with her early mentor Zhang Yimou, which was a huge success in the English-speaking world and an Oscar and a Golden Globe contender. Her next film was the avant-garde drama Purple Butterfly by Lou Zhe which competed at the 2003 Cannes Film Festival. She went back to the martial arts genre with House of Flying Daggers, which earned her a Best Actress nomination from the British Academy of Film and Television Arts.
For her next drama 2046, directed by Wong Kar-wai, starring many of the best-known Chinese actresses (from Hong Kong, Taiwan and the mainland), Zhang as the female lead won the Hong Kong Film Critics' Best Actress Award and the Hong Kong Film Academy's Best Actress Award.
Showing her whimsical musical tap-dancing side, Zhang starred in Princess Raccoon directed by 82-year-old Japanese legend Seijun Suzuki who was honored at the 2005 Cannes Film Festival. She plays the leading role of Sayuri in the adaptation of the international bestseller Memoirs of a Geisha, with her Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon co-star Michelle Yeoh, as well as Gong Li and Ken Watanabe. The movie was produced by Steven Spielberg, directed by Rob Marshall, and released in December 2005. Zhang has received a Best Actress - Drama Golden Globe nomination for her role.
