Favorite ko ang House of the Flying Daggers tsaka yung Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Ang epic kasi ng mga yon. Yung sa Memoirs naman, siguro mas prefer ko talaga na Japanese actresses ang gumanap sa movie. But then, not the fault of Zhang Ziyi, Gong Li and others.

[Lady_Rei]

weeeeh! pag epic movie, asteg si zhang ziyi sa crouching tiger at flying daggers.. XDD
pero d ko siya mabigyang puri sa hero.. may nagsabi sakin ganda ng role nia dun pero parang di ko siya nakilala dun..
okay naman siya sa memoirs of geisha.. pero parang sayang kasi parang di bagay sa kanya.. at tama si maneki-chan.. di naman kasalanan ng mga chinese actress mga yun kasi maganda pagkakaganap nila.. nagkataon lang talagang alam nating di sila japanese kaya naghanap tayo ng iba.. XD

Hindi ako masyadong nagagandahan kay Zhang Ziyi, pero infairness, gustong-gusto ko siya sa House of Flying Daggers!

Zhang Ziyi investigated for prostitution

Chinese actress Zhang Ziyi is allegedly being investigated for a sex scandal linked with China's former Minister of Commerce Bo Xilai.

According to various sources that have been rampant on the matter, Zhang has been barred from leaving the country, where she is currently shooting "The Grandmasters", while the investigations are ongoing. This may explain why she has refused to appear at the Cannes Film Festival, where her upcoming movie "Dangerous Liaisons" is contending. She has also refused an invitation to present the Palme d'Or award at the festival.

Zhang's involvement in the scandal with Bo, was believed to have been arranged by another government official and an associate of Bo, Xu Ming, the founder and chairman of the Dailian Shide Group.

The actress had agreed to sleep with Bo for 10 million Yuan (approximately SG$2 million) and they had at least 10 encounters in between 2004 to 2007, according to the Chinese media.
Zhang was also believed to have been introduced to other officials through Xu, and slept with them to rake in about 700 million Yuan (SG$141.7 million) from the transactions that took place between 2004 and 2007.
