Zhang Ziyi | No. 1
More than 20 years ago, Gong Li had always been Zhang Yimou's artistic muse, but later they had differences and parted ways. Later, Zhang Ziyi, who looked similar to Gong Li, became the second "Mr. Girl".
In 1999, when "My Father and Mother" was released, the image of Zhang Ziyi wearing braids and a floral cotton-padded jacket was almost the same as the character played by Gong Li in "Qiu Ju's Lawsuit". Zhang Ziyi also immediately attracted attention. get people's attention.
After that, Zhang Ziyi starred in the movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" on the recommendation of Zhang Yimou, and her popularity suddenly increased. Immediately afterwards, she caught up with the highest level of Chinese film art and was highly praised by directors from Hong Kong and Taiwan. She then became an international superstar with "House of Flying Daggers" and "Hero". Zhang Ziyi, who still enjoys the reputation of the "International Chapter", is still the same dazzling presence.
Dong Jie | No. 2
In 2000, Dong Jie and Nicholas Tse appeared on the CCTV Spring Festival Gala hand in hand, stunning the audience, and Dong Jie ushered in the highlight of her career. Afterwards, Zhang Yimou invited her to join the newly directed movie "Happy Time". In the film, Dong Jie played a blind girl, while Zhao Benshan, Fu Biao, Li Xuejian, Sun Honglei, Tao Hong, etc. who are all big names now, were just a small supporting role at that time. They are all serving as foils for the heroine Dong Jie. Dong Jie also won multiple awards for the movie "Happy Days".
Later, Dong Jie signed a contract with Wong Kar Wai and starred in "Leng Qingqiu" in "The Family". Dong Jie's innocent image in the drama made everyone's eyes bright and made countless men's hearts flutter at the time. Dong Jie became famous again with the role of Leng Qingqiu.
However, after becoming popular, Dong Jie did not know how to cherish her career. In 2012, she and Pan Yueming started a well-known breakup war on the Internet.

As a result, Dong Jie's marriage fell apart and her career was affected. To this day, it still has not regained its former glory.
Ni Ni | No. 3
In 2007, Zhang Yimou filmed "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" and he selected Ni Ni, who was still a college student at school.

Ni Ni didn't know she was the heroine "Yu Mo" until she completed three years of training in natural "fengchen aura" such as walking, sitting, playing mahjong, and smoking cigarettes.
Ni Ni's temperament and acting skills did not live up to Zhang Yimou's expectations. In 2011, "The Thirteen Hairpins" was released and became the annual box office champion with a box office of 600 million that year. The romantic, high-class and charming Ni Ni was instantly remembered by the audience.

Wei Minzhi | No. 4

"No One Less" was released in 1999. Although Wei Minzhi had no professional training, her performance in the film was remarkable, so much so that the audience sometimes cried, sometimes smiled, and said they liked it.
Wei Minzhi became popular immediately. After that, various performing arts schools successively offered her olive branches, and well-known directors also came to invite her.But Zhang Yimou is not optimistic about Wei Minzhi at this moment. He thinks that Wei Minzhi does not have outstanding appearance and bad figure, and it is estimated that it will be difficult for her to stay in the entertainment industry for a long time. Although Wei Minzhi also had plans to enter the entertainment industry, she was unfortunately not admitted to Beijing Film Academy.
God is extremely favoring Wei Minzhi. A few years later, Wei Minzhi got the opportunity to study abroad by chance. While studying abroad, Wei Minzhi found love. She got married to a Chinese-American in 2008 and gave birth to a lovely son. In 2010, Wei Minzhi took her husband and children back to her motherland where she had been away for many years to develop, and now lives a happy and stable life.
Zhou Dongyu | No. 5
When Zhou Dongyu was still in high school, Zhang Yimou noticed her at first glance when he was casting for "Love in the Hawthorn Tree" and thought she would bring a sensation to the Chinese film industry. In 2010, Zhou Dongyu gained widespread attention with her role as Jing Qiu in "Hawthorn Tree Love", and won the Outstanding Newcomer Award at the 14th China Film Huabiao Awards.

In 2016, she shined again in "July and Ansheng" and won the title of Best Actress at the 47th Golden Horse Awards.
Nowadays, Zhou Dongyu, who has been in the industry for many years, not only has the confidence to hold three Grand Slams in her hands, she has also used her own strength and hard work to open up the road to blooming on the screen, and she can be said to be a standout at the box office of Chinese-speaking movies.

However, after Liu Haocun became popular, some of her words and deeds, including her acting skills, encountered a lot of controversy and controversy. Some people also say that Liu Haocun's current position of popularity is too high. When her own strength is not worthy of her current height, she will easily become an enemy and be criticized by others.
