Zhang Ziyi still can't compete with Gong Loi, the reason is revealed by Zhang Yimou himself

In the Chinese-language entertainment industry, there is no one who does not know the name Zhang Yimou. The actresses who rely on the title "Mourning maiden" are extremely famous, rising to the ranks of A-list stars. In which, the two most famous "Women" are Gong Loi and Zhang Ziyi.

In 1987, while still a second year university student, Gong Li was discovered by director Zhang Yimou and invited to play the female lead Jiu Nhi in the movie Red Sorghum. With the talent of Zhang Yimou, plus the acting talent of Gong Li, the film Red Sorghum has won many awards at domestic and foreign film festivals such as Golden Rooster, Bach Hoa, Berlin...

The resounding success of Red Sorghum has helped Gong Li launch a glorious acting career for 3 decades. With the support of "gentleman" Zhang Yimou and his own efforts, Gong Loi has become one of the first Chinese-language female stars to be famous on the international stage.

As for Zhang Ziyi, at the age of 17, she was discovered by director Sun Van Hoc and assigned to take on the first female lead role in the movie Starlight, when she was a student at Beijing Dance Academy. At the age of 19, Zhang Ziyi became famous with director Zhang Yimou's film Road Home, then she continued to reap success with the role of Ngoc Kieu Long in the film Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon by director Ang Lee. Over the past 20 years, Zhang Ziyi has acted in more than 30 films, she is always the first female lead that directors choose.

These are two of the most respected actresses by Zhang Yimou. However, with the same name as the Maid, Gong Loi is more appreciated than Zhang Ziyi. Many viewers wondered why. Recently, Zhang Yimou himself reluctantly revealed.

As a director, Zhang Yimou knows these two actresses very well. Even their daily habits, hobbies as well as some small requirements of both when working on set, Zhang Yimou knows very well.

According to Zhang Yimou, Gong Loi is more energetic, more resilient and more resilient. With a very strong acting ability, Gong Loi did not take much time to transform into the character. The actress can quickly get into the role, her aura comes from the bone marrow, making the character's mood explode and acting extremely attractive.

Zhang Ziyi is definitely a good actor, in China Ziyi is one of the most famous stars. Basically, Zhang Ziyi has achieved mentorship status to other famous figures. These people who are guided and guided by Zhang Ziyi also feel extremely honored. Zhang Ziyi herself is also a first-class actress.

In terms of variety shows, Zhang Ziyi is probably more active than Gong Li and is more popular. But everyone knows that Gong Li's position in the entire Chinese performing arts industry cannot be shaken. Although Zhang Ziyi is extremely popular in later years, when it comes to the most outstanding "Woman Conspiracy", Gong Li is the one that people think of first.

According to Zhang Yimou, Gong Li's biggest advantage is that she can perform many types of roles. Whether it's a lead role or a small supporting role, Gong Li can shine with his peak acting ability, which makes everyone amazed. It is also because of the variety of roles that Gong Li is loved by everyone.

In fact, Zhang Ziyi is also very strong in acting, the roles in Zhang Ziyi's "Ten Faces ambush" and "Memoirs of a Geisha" show that Zhang Ziyi's acting skills are Undoubtedly, however, she still has not had a work as awe-inspiring as Gong Li.

Zhang Ziyi lacks only one character that makes her acting boom. If there is a classic work for life, Zhang Ziyi will also have the same status as Gong Li. However, at present, Zhang Ziyi still lacks such a work. Perhaps because she feels that she has been more successful than many people, the actress is also a little satisfied, gradually withdrawing from acting projects. On the contrary, since young Gong Li has always worked hard in the film industry, Gong Li's title of "cinema queen" is not a joke.

In addition, Gong Li worked with director Zhang Yimou continuously for many years. If Zhang Ziyi also wholeheartedly pursued an acting career like that, perhaps her status and popularity would be even more brilliant than now.

That said, it is not impossible for Zhang Ziyi to surpass Gong Li. However, times have assigned Gong Li the label of "insurmountable actress". Whether in terms of status, status, international traffic or personal image, Gong Li still deserves the position of the most queen.
