Why did her career die, /tv/? The Road Home (1999) Crouching

i was just watching rush hour 2 yesterday and wondering the same thing.

Wasn't she involved in a chinese prostitution ring or something?

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.

>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?

chinese women age terribly anon

>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.

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?

The courting they do is pretty shitty.

It involves adding one eye candy chink actress and giving her one or two lines

shes in jj abrams next movie

>>81742805
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.

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

>Most female actresses have a short career span
