Zhang Ziyi

First movie in English:

In 2001,Zhang had a small part in an American film (Rush Hour 2) with Jackie Chan. The role was difficult because she didn't speak English. Chan had to translate everything from Chinese into English for her.

How she learned English: After Rush Hour 2, Zhang studied English in New York City. She also watched television and listened to music in English. She liked watching TV advertisements since the actors spoke slowly and clearly.

Biggest challenge: Playing the leading role in the film Memoirs of a Geisha. A friend told Zhang. “It will be difficult to express your feelings in English.” This made Zhang nervous,but she took the part and studied harder. As a result,her role in the movie was a big hit.
