Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon tells the story that Li Mubai, a great warrior, wanted to quit the Jianghu, and entrusted Yu Xiulian, a confidante, to bring her Qingming sword back to Beijing as a gift from Baylor's collection. Li Mubai's withdrawal from the Jianghu actually aroused more Jianghu grievances.
In the play, Zhang Ziyi plays Yu Jiaolong. She is a complicated girl with a complicated psychological level. Daughter by day, fighting and falling in love at night. She is an unruly girl and has fantasies about Jianghu children. Yu Jiaolong's swordsmanship is as sharp as his character, plus the sharpness of a Chinese odyssey and the sword of Qingming. Just as Li Mubai said, "It is impossible to keep sharp", it was also reversed by his sharpness in several meetings with Yu Xiulian. Zhang Ziyi conquered movie audiences at home and abroad with superb acting skills, and won honors for China films and China filmmakers in the international film industry. She herself is highly recognized, and her role as Yu Jiaolong has never been surpassed.
In fact, when Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon was first released in China, the evaluation was not so good. Zhang Ziyi's role as Yu Jiaolong also caused controversy. Some people think that this role is not as pleasing as the villain, but in fact she has both good and evil, not a single personality, and has certain complexity. However, Zhang Ziyi performed her unique flavor. In fact, we later discovered that the filming of this film was not easy. There are too many fighting scenes, which make the average person taste terrible. The audience may just watch for a moment, but Zhang Ziyi is absolutely very difficult to shoot. However, learning dance from an early age made Zhang Ziyi's character tough, otherwise it would be really difficult to carry such a play down.
Director Ang Lee once said, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon made Zhang Ziyi, but Zhang Ziyi made Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon." Zhang Ziyi's performance gave the role a very vivid vitality. So Zhang Ziyi's acting skills are really obvious to all.
