The Road Home (1999) Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000) Musa (2001) Rush Hour 2 (2001) Hero (2002) 2046 (2004) House of Flying Daggers (2004) Memoirs of a Geisha (2005)
Six years of pure kino and then nothing else worth seeing. Was MoaG such a massive flop?
i was just watching rush hour 2 yesterday and wondering the same thing.
Wasn't she involved in a chinese prostitution ring or something?
John Anderson
She shacked up with politicians and had her name dragged through the mud.
At the end of the day, actresses are nothing more than "high end" prostitutes.
Brody Harris
>prostitution as an actress
NAME ONE ACTRESS who wasn't involved in prostitution. I'll wait. Zhang Ziyi did nothing wrong.

>controversy arose during casting of the film when some of the most prominent roles, including those of the geisha Sayuri, Hatsumomo and Mameha, did not go to Japanese actresses. Zhang Ziyi (Sayuri) and Gong Li (Hatsumomo) are both Chinese, whereas Michelle Yeoh (Mameha) is an ethnic Chinese from Malaysia. More notable is the fact that all three were already prominent fixtures in Chinese cinema.
>The film-makers defended the decision, however, and attributed "acting ability and star power" as their main priorities in casting the roles, and director Rob Marshall noted examples such as the Mexican actor Anthony Quinn being cast as a Greek man in Zorba the Greek.[16]
>Opinion in the Asian community was mixed. To some Chinese, the casting was offensive because they mistook geisha for prostitutes, and because it revived memories of wartime Japanese atrocities.[citation needed] The Chinese government canceled the film's release there because of such connections, and a website denounced star Zhang Ziyi as an "embarrassment to China."[17]

She became a hooker instead. Some Chinese businessman was paying her $1m a time to fuck her. Why spend all that time making movies when you can earn millions for riding some 4-inch chink dick?

>In 2012, an overseas Chinese website Boxun falsely reported that Zhang Ziyi was paid $100 million to sleep with top Chinese officials. Zhang sued Boxun in a US court for defamation. In December 2013, Boxun settled the case after agreeing to pay an undisclosed amount to Zhang and issue a front page apology.[57] Zhang also won court cases in Hong Kong against Next Media over similar false reports in Apple Daily and Next Magazine.
She decided to become a whore.
Bentley Roberts
She's made 18 films since then OP.
Even Hollywood is courting the Chinese market, but she has it sewn up. She's making millions out there. Why bother with some Western trash?
Jose Wright
>wartime Japanese atrocities.[citation needed] I wonder who is behind this post
It involves adding one eye candy chink actress and giving her one or two lines
Lucas Morris
shes in jj abrams next movie
Gavin Lewis
Kek, do you have any idea how much money that undisclosed amount must have been? She could probably pay businessmen to fuck themselves by now. No wonder she hasn't been in any movie since 2013.
Jose Watson
The Horsemen was fucking great. Have you not seen that? Though even that was awhile ago but it was still after MoaG, I'm pretty sure.
Cooper Rodriguez
Maybe cause of those beach pictures , of her and that murrican (((guy)))
Liam Howard
a good film is more than just a good actor
Justin Sanders
She still does heaps of Chinese movies
She did say in an interview that the only roles she could get in the west were oriental objects of lust for a western hero but she could do whatever she wanted in China
Bentley Torres
>Most female actresses have a short career span Remember when Megan Fox? Or whoever the transformers 3 chick was?
William Howard

Landon Cox

Justin Hall

Christian Price
