In comparison, I personally think Gong Li has more of a superstar look. She won many international awards in the 1980s and 1990s. I personally think Gong Li has better acting skills than Zhang Ziyi. At that time, Zhang Yimou chose Zhang Ziyi because she looked like Gong Li, but Zhang Ziyi worked hard and was able to seize opportunities. They are both well-known. Gong Li is China's earliest international movie star and has a very high status. She has acted in several major Hollywood productions. Zhang Ziyi has entered the mainstream view of the United States with Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. She has been nominated for the Golden Globe Award and participated in the Oscars several times. I remember There is news that many Americans only recognized Yao Ming and Zhang Ziyi from a Chinese propaganda video in Times Square in New York.
Gong Li has starred in many movies, the more representative ones are "Red Sorghum", "Qiu Ju's Lawsuit" and "Farewell My Concubine". Gong Li was born on December 31, 1965 in Shenyang City, Liaoning Province. Her ancestral home is Jinan City, Shandong Province. She is a Singaporean Chinese actress. Graduated from the Central Academy of Drama, a United Nations artist for promoting peace, and a United Nations global environmental protection ambassador. She has also won the "Golden Bear Award", "Golden Lion Award", "Golden Palm Award" and other awards many times, and has won three major European films. Festival's top prize.
The movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" starring Zhang Ziyi won the Oscar for best foreign language film in the world. Zhang Ziyi, born on February 9, 1979 in Beijing, is a Chinese film and television actress and producer. She graduated from the Performance Department of the Central Academy of Drama. The movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" made Zhang Ziyi nominated for Best Supporting Actress by the British Film Institute and also won the People's Choice Award at the Toronto Film Festival.
Both of them are "looking for girls", and they have also embarked on the international route. Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi are always compared by people. Gong Li became famous early and caught up with the peak period of creation by China's fifth-generation directors. Gong Li's internationalization path was completely created by her own strength and her participation in too many classic films by fifth-generation directors. It was a personal effort and also A product of the times.
