Why Zhang Ziyi is so eager for a hug from Ang Lee
Zhang Ziyi disclosed Recently in a TV program that the film <<perfect>> producer had special way to encourage actor. To give people a hug time by time. She said frankly that the reason why she noticed the importance of hug was all caused by director Ang Lee. At that time, she was performing in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, director Ang Lee liked to show his encouragement and praise through hug with actors, while to Zhang Ziyi, a fresh man in film circle, Lee treated her strangely especially; this made Zhang feel jealousy and hoped to get the same hug from director every day.
Zhang Ziyi recalled in program that: the film takes us about half an year to finish, I was wondering a hug from Ang Lee each day for those times, or he could say one words like: Ziyi, you perform well today. But nothing happens at all, she did not get the same praise as Yang Ziqiong, which became a big attack to indocile Zhang Ziyi. After that, she acted harder and harder in the following days, at the end of film making, director Ang Lee gave her a hug for praise and a satisfied smile finally, that moment meant a lot for Zhang Ziyi.
When talking about Zhang Ziyi, her college teachers and class adviser ever attended a Hunan TV show mentioned that: Zhang Ziyi was very nervous to be forced to leave school when entering college at first, but she was a hard working student, after in sophomore, her school results was stably squashed into the top rank. To the outer saying that Zhang Ziyi’s achievement was depended on luck, her class adviser Chang Li disagreed with it. She said: “Zhang Ziyi would not become a international super star if she did not possess a serious working attitude and good genius. Every actor has their period to get fame. After finishing the film of <<My Father and Mother>>, she entered director Ang Lee’s team, but her performance was not fully satisfied by director, she had to learn a lot and there were a group of girls waiting to replace her.”
Zhang Ziyi talked about her secret for success in Berlin Film exhibition on Feb, 12, she said: “ no matter where you are, try to be a really true person.” The director Ang Lee never thought about that the one ever was “looked down upon” by him would become a international super star today. Zhang Ziyi knew her fate and cherished more about her nowadays results, she did not care the comments of calculation about her right now, what she needed to do was to behave well in the future, and didn’t let those directors feel disappointed.
