Zhang Ziyi Redefines Action - NOW Toronto, December 16th 2004
In the future, we will worship Zhang Ziyi. As Western industries brace for the onslaught of Chinese capital, so Western pop culture must bow to the face of Chinese stardom....
The fact is, Zhang Ziyi has no American peer. She's brilliant at the wire-fu gymnastics of her big international hits but equally at home in lush, arty dramas like Wong Kar Wai's upcoming 2046. Right now she's shooting the adaptation of Arthur Golden's Memoirs Of A Geisha. It's director Rob Marshall's follow-up to Chicago, and a project Steven Spielberg nurtured for years. Zhang admits she finds it "very difficult" playing the lead role in English, with a Japanese accent....Such is the price of ruling the planet. But Zhang Ziyi appears to put diligence ahead of star perks
