Zhang Ziyi must be indebted to Shu Qi for life for the "rescue ticket" more than 20 years ago

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is a movie by director Ang Ang based on the martial arts novel by writer Vuong Do Lu.

Released in 2000, the film is considered a phenomenon of Asian cinema. This is also the work that brought Zhang Ziyi's name to global fame.

Few people know that this fame should have belonged to Thu Ky. Initially, director Ang Ly targeted Thu Ky for the role of Ngoc Kieu Long. However, she turned down this movie to play a tea commercial for Japan. It is reported that the actress did not want to play Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon because the film was filmed for a long time (8 months). Moreover, before filming, she had to practice martial arts very hard.

While Shu Qi did not know how to cherish the opportunity presented to her, Zhang Ziyi quickly seized it. She was introduced by director Zhang Yimou to director Ang Lee. However, honestly the director is still not satisfied. He once confided: "I originally wanted to create a fierce Ngoc Kieu Long inside, on the outside the lady was soft and beautiful, Zhang Ziyi looked nothing like that. Reluctantly, I had to rely on temperament. her qualities, develop a suitable Jade Kieu Long".

Although Chuong Tu Di was chosen for the role of Ngoc Kieu Long, in the process of preparing to shoot, director Ang Lee continued to find a more suitable person. Many years later, Zhang Ziyi still feels scared when he remembers this time. The actress confided: "The director didn't tell me what to do. Every day just let me stay in the crew to practice martial arts. Every day, I see other female actors entering and leaving the set to participate in interviews. This kind of psychological pressure, whether you like it or not, you still feel afraid."

During the filming of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Zhang Ziyi suffered a lot. In the sword fight scene with Duong Tu Quynh, she was blown away by the weapon. In a suspended scene, Zhang Ziyi's face hits the wall. However, she still gritted her teeth and endured, continuing to complete the scene.

In addition to the physical pain, Zhang Ziyi also suffered great mental stress. She knows that she is not the first choice of director Ang Lee, so she tries her best. However, she did not see the recognition from the director. When each day of filming ended, Ly An often hugged actors such as Chau Nhuan Phat, Duong Tu Quynh, and with Zhang Ziyi, he was very indifferent. The actress had to ask the assistant director to arrange for her to share a car ride with the director to the set to have a chance to talk privately. However, during most of that journey, she dared not speak. Only when the studio appeared in front of her eyes, did Zhang Ziyi dare to ask: "Director Li, I heard that you are not satisfied with me, I am very sad".

Hearing Zhang Ziyi say that, director Ang Lee consoled him. He praised the actress for trying, but did not comment on her acting. It was not until the film closed that Ang Lee gave Zhang Ziyi the hug she had been waiting for. Later, referring to his efforts on set, Zhang Ziyi shared: "Because I was not the first choice of director Ang Ang, I had to prove myself to be the most suitable.Read More Also, I don't want to disappoint the person who gives me the opportunity."

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon became the first Chinese martial arts film to receive four Oscars with 10 nominations, and grossed a whopping $213 million. The film also helped Zhang Ziyi reach out of China, becoming a notable name in Hollywood. Many viewers who loved Thu Ky felt regretful, if only their idols knew how to take advantage of the opportunity, perhaps her reputation would be much more famous now.

Although she lost a prestigious role, it is undeniable that Thu Ky is one of the most expensive flowers at the moment. Her perfect marriage and husband Phung Duc Luan also made many people admire. Married for 5 years, the number of times the couple took pictures together is rare. Thu Ky and Phung Duc Luan are also busy with work, sometimes they don't see each other for a few months. However, their strange and sweet love still makes the audience admire.

Last June, Thu Ky participated in the reality TV show 50km Dao Hoa O. During the conversation, the actress shared about Phung Duc Luan. When asked why he didn't date the male artist as soon as he met her, but had to wait until 20 years later to cross the friendship boundary, Thu Ky did not hesitate to say because Phung Duc Luan was "ugly".

"He's not my dream man. I've worked with Andy Lau, Takeshi Kaneshiro and many other screen beauties. Looking at Phung Duc Luan, he really didn't have a door. To be honest, I was at that time. look down on him," the beauty said.

However, when talking about the reason for agreeing to marry the male artist, Thu Ky said: "Phung Duc Luan did not conquer me in the visual part, but his personality is not available to any man". In addition, the female star revealed that her husband is a person who values body care and has a stricter diet than her.
