Features: Zhang Ziyi, a woman who walked from a hutong to the world stage. Six years ago, people would never have imagined that the little girl who claimed to be "unrecognizable in a crowd" and roamed the streets of Beijing might have once crossed paths with her. One day, she would emerge from her cocoon and shine brilliantly on the international film stage, stunning the world. After gaining fame, Zhang Ziyi often says, "I feel like I'm an accident." This woman who "makes people wonder why she became famous so quickly" has an "accidental" life—how? This book tells you that none of it was an accident. Chang Li said: "Zhang Ziyi received proper and thorough training, and she is particularly diligent in her work. Her success has a strong sense of inevitability." Zhang Yimou said: "Zhang Ziyi can quickly enter the state of filming, transitioning in and out of character in just a few seconds, which surprised me." Ang Lee said: "Zhang Ziyi is the most willing to learn and endure hardship among the actors I've worked with. I believe this personality will help her conquer all directors." Wong Kar-wai said: "In terms of performance, Zhang Ziyi offers you many possibilities. She is quite expressive—you ask her to adapt, and she does. You push her, and she pushes back, until you get the feeling you need. Essentially, her potential is very great."
