Study experience

Ziyi was born in an ordinary worker family in Beijing and has an older brother. She studied dance hard as a child and graduated from the Drama Department of the Central Academy of Drama. As a child, Zhang Ziyi was thin and small, so her teacher suggested that she learn dance.

8-year-old Zhang Ziyi entered the Xuanwu District Children’s Palace to learn dance. Three years later, 11-year-old Zhang Ziyi was admitted to the High School Affiliated to the Beijing Dance Academy and began her 6-year study of folk dance. She also won the performance award in the 1994 National Taoli Cup Dance Competition. This award not only did not make little Zhang Ziyi feel complacent, but it made her start a second choice in life, so she thought about drama and movies.

In 1996, Ziyi was admitted to the Performance Department of the Central Academy of Drama. When she was in the Central Academy of Drama, she was not the most beautiful in the class. She is not the most outstanding student in her major. She and Liu Ye are often given "ultimatums" by their instructors because they fail to deliver good homework, but she is definitely the most ruthless and hard-working girl in the class.

History of Stardom

Zhang Ziyi entered the dance department of the Middle School Affiliated to Beijing Dance Academy at the age of 11, and starred in the movie "Stars Light Up". Some videos of Zhang Ziyi shot when she was a teenager circulated on the Internet, revealing her talent as a teenager.

Later, she entered the Drama Department of the Central Academy of Drama and was discovered by Zhang Yimou. In 1998, she served as the heroine (Zhao Di) in the film "My Father and Mother". The film won the Silver Bear Award at the 2000 Berlin Film Festival. In 1999, she acted in the movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" directed by Taiwanese director Ang Lee, as the heroine (Yu Jiaolong), and performed with senior Hong Kong and Taiwan film stars such as Chow Yun-fat, Michelle Yeoh, Lang Xiong, etc., "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" Hidden Dragon won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film the following year.

With the success of movies such as "Rush Hour 2" and "Heroes" in the United States, her popularity has also increased rapidly. In February 2005, she was invited to present the award for Best Visual Effects at the 77th Academy Awards, making her the first Chinese actress to serve as a presenter at the Oscars. Later, it was also listed in the "Entertainers and Artists" project of the American Time Magazine's 2005 list of the top 100 most influential people in the world. Together with Gong Li and Michelle Yeoh, she filmed "Memoirs of a Geisha" produced by Spielberg, and was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress for this film.

Zhang Ziyi, together with three other Chinese actresses including Xu Jinglei, Zhou Xun and Zhao Wei, is known as the Four Little Actresses.

Personal Life

Emotion

After Zhang Ziyi filmed the movie "My Father and Mother", there were some scandals about her and director Zhang Yimou[3]. The media in Hong Kong and Taiwan reported for some time that her relationship with martial arts star Jackie Chan was unusual. The reason was that during the filming of "Rush Hour 2", she was photographed kissing Jackie Chan on the cheek at a party celebrating his birthday. [4]

For a long time, Zhang Ziyi and Fok Qishan, the grandson of Hong Kong businessman Fok Ying-tung, had an affair.

In January 2007, Zhang Ziyi and her 41-year-old new boyfriend, Israeli millionaire Aviv Nivo, were photographed having an intimate relationship while watching an NBA game in New York. They later attended the Oscars ceremony together in Los Angeles. Aviv Niwo is an important shareholder of Time Warner and an investor in Westin[5][6].

English proficiency

Zhang Ziyi said in an interview in 2003 that she received more and more letters from American movie fans every day, so she began to work hard to learn English. The accompanying documentary on the back of the DVD of the American version of "Hero" also includes footage of Zhang Ziyi speaking English. In the later filmed "Memoirs of a Geisha", all the dialogues of the character played by Zhang Ziyi were in English.

In order to match the geisha in "Memoirs of a Geisha", Zhang Ziyi listened to and recited a lot of English she heard from TV commercials and music records. She also listened to Eminem's songs at that time, and these songs predictably made Zhang Ziyi very embarrassed: "I didn't know what Eminem was talking about, so I wrote down what I heard and repeated the lyrics over and over again. . But later I realized how vulgar those lyrics were." [Source request]

In a television interview broadcast in the United States, she could communicate with reporters in English, but her vocabulary seemed insufficient.

After completing "Memoirs of a Geisha" with English dialogue, she expressed that she was no longer timid about acting in a second language. In 2007, she voiced the female ninja character Karai in the new version of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles "TMNT" and continues to Filming of "The Horsemen" and "The Desert Warriors" with English dialogue.

Rumors

There is news in some Chinese media that "Zhang Ziyi was selected as one of the top ten ugly women in the world" by FHM magazine in 2002[7][8]. However, in the English media, you can only find FHM’s 2002 list of the ten countries with the ugliest women in the world [9], including Afghanistan, the United Kingdom, Germany, the United States, China, etc. At the same time, the ten countries with the most beautiful women are the United States, Sweden, etc. Several of them are famous on both tables, such as the United States, the United Kingdom, France, etc. It can be seen that they are just a game. There is no such thing as "Top Ten Ugliest Women" in the English media.
