Before going to the Berlinale, Ziyi promoted The Grandmaster in Paris with Tony Leung. Miss Grain capped the French TV Show Square where Ziyi and Leung are interviewed about their role and working on the movie. The gallery was updated with pictures of the show as well as pictures during the shooting of a photo session.
Tony Leung and Ziyi were interviewed last week for The Grandmaster. Here’s some portraits that were taken the same day for the occasion.
Ziyi is currently on the cover of the January issue of Time Out Hong Kong Magazine. Here’s a little preview of the interview in which Edmund Lee compare her career with the icon Ruan Lingyu.
“China hasn’t seen an actress as equally treasured and disliked as Zhang Ziyi for a very long time. Edmund Lee visits The Grandmaster star in Beijing to hear about her musings on Wong Kar-wai, the essence of acting and all those clueless haters out there.
At one point during our interview in a photo studio in Sanlitun, Beijing, with the first December snow descending on the capital, Zhang Ziyi describes herself as an ‘old school’ actress who ‘thinks in the traditional way’. “There are many people who take the less proper paths to look for their own sense of being,” she adds. “That’s how the environment [of show business] is – it’s not a very clean environment.” The truth is, as one of her country’s greatest current movie icons, Zhang must also live with the same time-honoured traditions of superstardom that hark back to the time of Ruan Lingyu nearly a century ago: putting up a defiant face on screen, confronting uber-sensational scandals off it, and juggling not gentle admiration and polite indifference but love and hatred by even the most casual observers day in and day out, year after year.”
2 pictures we’re added yesterday from this issue! The cover and 1 picture from the photoshoot.
Enjoy some lovely pictures of Marie Claire’s shooting featuring Ziyi and Chang Chen!
Back in 2008, Ziyi was a spokesperson for the Sanya Real Estates Phoenix Waterside Tour. She will be in the new promotional campaign next year and the promotional advertisements have surfaced on the web. We also added 2 pictures from the photoshoot.
I’ve added some scans from the last edition of the Chinese magazine Famous and 1 picture from the photoshoot. Ziyi is beautiful as always!
