Zhang Ziyi classic works are far less numerous than Maggie Cheung Gong Li. Speaking of which, Zhang Ziyi is world-famous for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. My father, mother, and Zhang Yimou 's early movies such as Red Sorghum , Qiu Ju Litigation, Life is a lot worse, 2046 and The Grandmaster are also far inferior to Days of Being Wild. , Happy Together, In the Mood for Love. And Maggie Cheung's masterpieces "Days of Being Wild", "New Dragon Inn", " Ruan Lingyu ", " Sweet Honey ", "In the Mood for Love", "Heroes"... Gong Li's masterpieces "Red Sorghum", " Ju Dou", " Autumn" Zhang Ziyi's performance in The Grandmaster is excellent, but it is basically the same as her performance in movies such as Memoirs of a Geisha and Romance. , this is also the most important thing I appreciate about Zhang Ziyi. She treats every performance very carefully. Most of her characters are complex and layered. In fact, excellent performances are rich in layers, because human nature is complex. Many people have not watched many movies of Maggie Cheung and Gong Li, at least not of Maggie Cheung's Sweet Honey and Ruan Lingyu, Gong Li's recent return. The restrained and multi-layered performances of these two actresses are definitely better than Zhang Ziyi's.
The acting element of Zhang Ziyi's performance can be felt by the audience. At least from my film aesthetic point of view, this is a demerit. Gong Li is also an academic, but Gong Li's performance has reached the level of naturalness, while Maggie Cheung is a complete feeling type. Maggie Cheung is my favorite Chinese actress, and her status in my heart is no less than that of Meryl Streep (Sophie's Choice). Speaking of your so-called acceptance, during my viewing process, I just felt that it was unnatural. I could accept it and it fit the character's image, but it just made me feel alienated. This is what I dislike about the subconscious reality of the academic school.
Meryl Streep's self-analysis in a lot of long shots in Sophie's Choice is the ultimate in truly restrained performance, and it truly allows you to immerse yourself in her world without feeling that it is a performance at all. Meryl Streep is also a representative of the method school , but she achieved complete self-introduction after theoretical analysis. When she performs, she is the character she interprets. This is more advanced. This kind of performance means that her performance of the same scene or emotion is completely different when she interprets different characters.
But Zhang Ziyi is not. I have watched most of Zhang Ziyi's movies, and her works are indeed not many, but when she shows the innocence, sadness, and pain of girls, the performance in different movies is really the same for the audience. You can all see it, but is it good to watch her performance? good. But compared with Meryl Streep, Maggie Cheung, and Gong Li, there is a big gap. There are too many stereotypes in her performance. The editor made such remarks based on me watching Meryl Streep. There are more than 20 movies in general, and many of them have been watched more than 3 times. There are also more than 10 movies by Maggie Cheung, more than 5 movies by Zhang Ziyi, and more than 7 movies by and Zhou Xun.
After watching the movie, I may not be able to say that Zhou Xun is better than Zhang Ziyi. Even if I love Zhou Xun more, this is just a matter of personal preference. But Maggie Cheung is obviously more talented and charming than Zhang Ziyi. In fact, if you compare the same performance styles, you can see the difference. They are both academic, but Zhang Ziyi is far inferior to Meryl Streep. International Chapter is not optimistic that it can reach the level of Gong Li, and there is not much comparison with Maggie Cheung, because Maggie Cheung's era was the most glorious era, and the tension given to the actor by the movie is stronger, which Gong Li cannot compare with.
However, International Chapter still has time to catch up with the gap between them, but the number of people chasing them is estimated to be slim. Zhang Ziyi also has an opportunity in this era that her predecessors could not envy, that is, films like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon have truly entered Hollywood . Although it is not appropriate to use Hollywood to evaluate Chinese actors, the global influence brought by Hollywood is indeed too great. .Of course, in terms of works and personal performances, Zhang Ziyi really does not have as many shots as Gong Li and Maggie Cheung, and according to the current trend, there will not be many opportunities in the future.
