Zhang Ziyi (“Jahng Tz-Yee”, Ziyi Zhang in much of the West—Zhang is her surname), born on February 9, 1979, in Beijing, China to Zhang Yuanxiao, an economist father, and Li Zhousheng, a kindergarten teacher mother, is one of China’s most popular and successful entertainers and an ever-growing success on the international stage.
Looking back at the pressure and frustration（挫折） she endured during the filming of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Ziyi sometimes feels that Ang Lee (the director)was too demanding. “Whenever I see him now, I let out my six-month worth of bitterness bit to make sure that he knows how much I have suffered and how much weight I have lost while CTHD was being made.”
With her major works The Road Home, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Rush Hour 2, Zhang Ziyi enjoys great popularity.
Despite her success so far, Ziyi is never satisfied with what she has achieved. Ziyi knows very well what she is doing. To start making Western films, Zhang Ziyi has been working hard to perfect her English for several years and now speaks language with little difficulty. The movie version of Memories of a Geisha is headed into production. The book became a sensation around the world when it was first published in 1997. The story is about a young girl’s rise from poverty in a Japanese fishing village of life in high society. The lead role of Sayuri will go to Zhang Ziyi, with the producer Steven Spielberg. For those unfamiliar with the story, a Geisha is a Japanese woman schooled in the art of dance, singing and conversation to be a companion for wealthy men.
It may be difficult to say what lies ahead for Ziyi, but it’s quite feasible for Ziyi to put her feet on the ground and strive to make sure she is at her best in every movie she is in.
