Zhang Ziyi

Chinese and American film actress Zhang Ziyi frankly declares that she has achieved global success thanks to luck and her own hard work. The artist admits that she is not afraid to make mistakes, so she easily goes to crazy experiments. For example, to get a role in the film "Memoirs of a Geisha," Zhang, who hardly knew English, came to the casting and endlessly repeated the phrase that she managed to remember: "Hire me."

On February 9, 1979, a girl named Zhang Ziyi was born in a clinic in Beijing. The child became the firstborn of a young couple - an economist and a kindergarten teacher. A girl from infancy was distinguished by weak muscles and poor health, so at the age of 11, Zhang was sent to a boarding school, where students were professionally taught to dance.

The child did not have special abilities, but the parents wanted to improve their daughter's immunity, so they persuaded the teachers to give the girl a chance. To please her family, Zhang went to a boarding school. Soon, the future actress realized that she hated a new home. Constant training, interrupted only for sleep, pretty tired the child.

Despite the difficulties and indifference to dancing, at the age of 16, the girl graduated from school among the best students. Realizing that in this part of his own biography it is time to end his relationship with dancing, Zhang enters the Chinese College of Drama. Unlike the boarding school, there were no problems with enrollment. The girl was accepted to study after the initial audition.

Zhang Ziyi got her first serious movie role thanks to shampoo. The student was invited to a casting in an advertisement, which was filmed by the famous director Zhang Yimou. The girl did not receive the role, but made an impression on the assembled film crew. After 2 years, Yimou invited the actress to the lead role in the film "House by the Road".

The deafening debut instantly put the artist on the list of rising Chinese stars. The success was consolidated by the film "Crouching Tiger, Lurking Dragon". The fight scene from the film with Zhang Ziyi and Michelle Yeo is recognized as one of the most spectacular in cinema. The work on the action movie required high physical training, so even the rehearsals were held for the young actress in great tension.

The result exceeded expectations. After the premiere of the historical motion picture, Zhang Ziyi became interested in Hollywood. The girl was invited to play a minor role in Rush Hour 2, but to participate in the project, the actress had to learn English.

As it turned out, languages ​​are not Zhang's strongest part. Therefore, by the time of filming, the producers decided that the actress only had to memorize her own lines. The instructions of the director and the crew were conveyed to the artist by a colleague on the set - Jackie Chan.

The next challenge for Zhang Ziyi was working on the film "Warrior". The actress persuaded the filmmakers to settle herself with a blind neighbor and watched the girl for almost days. However, the overwhelming success of "Warrior" was replaced by a wave of rage emanating from the artist's Chinese fans.

The public did not approve of Zhang's desire to play a Japanese woman in American cinema. But the artist did not pay attention to the dissatisfied, instead, the actress plunged into the study of Japanese culture. The result - the film "Memoirs of a Geisha" received nominations for the "Golden Globe" and other prestigious film awards.

In 2013, Zhang Ziyi's photos again graced the covers of world magazines. This time, the occasion was the film “The Great Master,” directed by Wong Kar-Wai. The film became the second collaboration between the actress and the director. And both times the resulting films were positively noted by both viewers and critics.

In 2014, the actress again plunged into a historical film epic. The Crossover, directed by John Woo, is a two-part movie about the Taiping wreck. Zhang Ziyi got the main female role, which finally returned the viewer's love.

Since his ascent to the cinematic Olympus, the name Zhang Ziyi has been associated with various men. The press stated that the actress met with director Zhang Yimou, for which she got a role in the film "The Way Home", but journalists could not confirm the information.

Jackie Chan became the next imaginary partner of the artist. And only in 2007, Zhang Ziyi officially confirmed the romance that began with Aviv Nevo, a businessman from Israel. The couple's relationship was going well, and soon the relatives started talking about the engagement of young people.

Zhang and Aviv broke up after the actress's name scandal. A friend of the girl said that the artist is not faithful to her lover. There were no official comments from the couple, but the engagement never took place.

Two years later, information surfaced in several major newspapers and online publications that the artist provided escort services. Allegedly, influential married politicians were listed as clients of the famous beauty. However, these rumors were not confirmed.

Zhang Ziyi found her family happiness in 2015. During the celebration of her 36th birthday, actress Wang Feng's lover proposed to the girl. At the time of the engagement, the couple had been dating for several years. A month later, a modest traditional marriage ceremony took place in China.

In December 2015, Zhang Ziyi became a mother. The girl gave birth to a daughter, whom famous parents named Wang Xingxing.

In 2018, Zhang Ziyi celebrated her 3-year anniversary with her husband. Young people still spend a lot of time together and even jointly maintain a personal account on their daughter's Instagram.

In January, the premiere of the film "Forever Young" took place, where the actress played the main female role. The historical drama was filmed in China and tells the story of four generations who grew up in this country at different times.

In April, the movie "Particle of God" (also called "The Cloverfield Paradox") will be released. The shooting of the fantastic action movie took place in the United States. Zhang Ziyi will appear in the form of an astronaut named Tam.
