Zhang Ziyi praises her compatriot Gong Li
One of Asia's new megastars, Zhang Ziyi, is paying homage to one of her big sisters in the Chinese-language film industry, saying that she has long idolized Gong Li.
"Gong Li is an actress I've idolized and admired since I was little," Zhang said in the interview that aired Tuesday. "I've finally had an opportunity to perform together with her. I thought this was a great opportunity. She is so beautiful. I just kept staring at her." Zhang starred with Gong in the recently released "2046," a science-fiction romance about a novelist trying to overcome his memories. Zhang's role in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" made her a global star. She's also in the latest Chinese-language box-office hit, "Hero," directed by Zhang Yimou _ who is credited with discovering Zhang and Gong. "House of Flying Daggers" is competing for the foreign-language prize at February's Academy Awards. Zhang Ziyi plays a ninth-century rebel in a romantic triangle with two men whose love for her leads to tragedy.
