Zhang Ziyi's first time as a producer. On August 9, Zhang Ziyi might have had one of her busiest days. In the morning, she attended the opening ceremony of Flower Market Union Broadway Cinema; in the afternoon, she attended the press conference for her new film "Perfectly Perfect"; then she returned to Flower Market Union Broadway Cinema for the premiere of the film; afterwards, she rushed to Golden Treasure Palace Cinema for the first online interaction event of Baidu Film Community. It was a busy day, but according to Zhang Ziyi, it was just the beginning: "Like the name of the movie, even though there will always be regrets in anything, I am someone who desires perfection. Making movies is like acting, it has its own destiny. This is my first time as a producer, no matter the outcome, I will continue on this path."
Discussing the new film, she dared not predict the box office. As a summer romance film, the appearance of "Perfectly Perfect" was originally quite normal, but it received so much media attention mainly because of the lead actress and producer, Zhang Ziyi. Zhang Ziyi, known internationally, played the role of a city girl who had a breakup, which was considered a challenge. Facing the challenge, Zhang Ziyi smiled calmly: "Actually, the biggest challenge isn't acting, but being a producer for the first time. The pressure on an actor mainly comes from the role, but the pressure on a producer comes from all aspects, such as market prospects, I am actually quite nervous." Zhang Ziyi said that making her debut in the behind-the-scenes work of a film, everything keeps improving. She also mentioned that making films is particularly troublesome, every detail needs to be thought about, which is difficult. Regarding the box office of this film, she expressed that she dare not predict. When the reporter told her that Fan Bingbing once said that this movie would easily break 100 million yuan, she smiled after hearing it: "Thank you for Ice's prediction, but as a producer, I still need to be cautious." She said: "I've been looking at the weekly box office data recently, the national box office these weeks is roughly between 40 million to 50 million yuan per week."
Discussing her personal life, everything was normal. Recently, apart from her new film "Perfectly Perfect", another focus was the postponement of her wedding, which led to various speculations. There were many rumors online, such as breaking up. She stated: "My personal life is all normal, I have seen those speculations and rumors. Actually, since I entered the industry, such rumors have never stopped. As an actor, I have to learn to accept them. I can only tell everyone that my life and feelings are normal, I don't want to say more about it."
Zhang Ziyi has become a benchmark for Chinese actors in the international film industry, so when some newcomers debut for promotion, they are especially willing to be named as the "second Zhang Ziyi". What does she think about this phenomenon? "I think this is a necessary stage for new actors. When I finished my first film, I was also called the second someone. However, personally, I feel this kind of saying is quite boring."
