Recently, the crew of "Magic Era" finally got a glimpse of Zhang Ziyi's "true appearance." In her new film, Zhang Ziyi once again plays a village girl, reminiscent of her debut role in "The Road Home." Compared to her "inexperienced" look back then, she now carries the worries of an international star.
Zhang Ziyi was spotted with a disheveled appearance. One day around ten in the morning at the hotel where the crew was staying, a car arrived to pick up the main actors. Not long after Guo Fu Cheng quickly stepped out of the hotel still dressed similarly to previous days but looking even more disheveled. Shortly after Guo left, a woman wearing a dark cotton coat with a ponytail came out. It was only when she reached the car that she was recognized as Zhang Ziyi. On that day, Zhang wore a pink down vest under her coat, appearing just as disheveled as Guo Fu Cheng. She looked groggy, hadn't washed her face, and appeared weary without makeup, quite different from her radiant image at public events. Zhang sat in the front passenger seat and immediately reclined on the seat, showing obvious signs of fatigue.
According to an industry insider, Zhang Ziyi plans to shoot several more films this year, focusing on her work and letting her works speak for themselves. Currently, she has lowered her profile, actively reaching out to several powerful film and television companies hoping to collaborate on projects.
Hong Kong book publishers want to capitalize on Zhang Ziyi’s fame. A Hong Kong publisher saw business opportunities in Zhang Ziyi's "story." He hired two entertainment reporters to co-write a "life biography" about Zhang Ziyi for publication in Hong Kong. Based on media reports, online rumors, and their own knowledge, these two reporters quickly drafted an outline and wrote a preliminary manuscript. It is said that the romantic history written in the book is more dramatic than TVB dramas. However, this matter was discovered by a friend of Zhang Ziyi. The friend has since funded the buyout of the manuscript, so whether this provisionally titled "The Truth of the Ink-Splashing Gate - The Life and Times of Zhang Ziyi" will be published remains uncertain.
