Truong Tu Di was called by Truong Yimou to audition at the hotel, and her response sounded embarrassing

Coming from a talented dancer background, Zhang Ziyi surpassed many candidates to be chosen by Zhang Yimou for the main role of Chieu De in The Road Home in 1998. This is also the role that made his name known. Zhang Ziyi flashed.

In 1997, Truong Yimou participated in filming commercials. In order for his works to achieve near perfection, the famous male director always has very strict requirements for advertising models. The director arranged for several employees to go to major art schools in Beijing to find advertising models.

Zhang Ziyi, who was studying at the Central Academy of Drama at the time, caught Zhang Yimou's sights and was invited by the famous director to participate in the casting, however, luck was not on her side.

The following year, when Zhang Yimou was preparing to film the movie "The Horse Passes Through Beijing", he immediately thought of Zhang Ziyi and arranged for his assistant to contact her.

With the audition process going smoothly, Zhang Ziyi thought she had no flaws and believed she would be chosen. However, the actress once again lost her chance when it was announced that the movie was shelved.

Until Truong Yimou chose the female lead for the movie "The Way Home", by chance the beautiful and seductive Zhang Ziyi caught his eye so the director called to invite her.

Truong Yimou knew that he had "let go" of Zhang Ziyi twice, to show his sincerity, he personally called her. He said: "My new movie is about to start filming. If you want to participate, come to the hotel to audition." Zhang Ziyi now lost her patience, she replied: "You have fooled me twice, isn't that enough? I can't trust you anymore, and I don't want to be fooled anymore."

After hearing this, Zhang Yimou was very embarrassed, but he did not want to give up his favorite candidate, so he went to Zhang Ziyi's school and personally invited her to participate. Truong Yimou even took out scripts, project plans and contracts to convince Zhang Ziyi.

After reading this information, Zhang Ziyi believed that this time she really had a chance to act in a movie. And then, Zhang Ziyi went to the agreed hotel to audition. Zhang Yimou and the investors were so satisfied, they immediately decided to cast her as the female lead.

To play the role well, Zhang Ziyi also went to the countryside and lived with rural women to imitate their style. After a few months, Zhang Ziyi seemed to have learned from the steps and small gestures of rural women.

Therefore, playing the role of a lively country girl, picking firewood and watering water, is not difficult for Zhang Ziyi. Her acting made Truong Yimou admire: "Tu Di's performance made me so emotional that I burst into tears. Even though she is young, she is very brave."

The success of this film helped her win the Silver Bear award at the Berlin Film Festival in 2000. She won the 23rd Hundred Flowers Photo Award for her debut role. This is also a solid start for Zhang Ziyi's future career.

In 1999, thanks to director Truong's recommendation, Zhang Ziyi was able to participate in the famous blockbuster Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (directed by Ang Lee) with famous actors Michelle Yeoh, Chow Yun Fat...

After that, she achieved great success thanks to Thap Faces Ambush and Hero with box office revenue of up to 270 million USD. Zhang Ziyi became richer and more famous than ever and was voted the Most Powerful Female Artist in China by Forbes magazine for two consecutive years in 2004 and 2005.

Many people believe that Zhang Ziyi was chosen by director Truong because he has many similarities with Gong Li. She herself does not deny that she admires her seniors, but: "I am not like anyone else, I am me. I just do my role well in each movie."
