Zhang Ziyi, Tang Wei, Chang Chen all criticised for TV roles, but movie stars on China's small screens is a trend set to continue

January 27, 2021
Lust, Caution star Tang Wei was criticised for bad acting in the 2019 television series Ming Dynasty.
Hunan TV
Many A-list Hollywood movie stars like Reese Witherspoon and Nicole Kidman have turned to the small screen in recent years and now this trend has caught on in China.
Chinese superstar Zhang Ziyi recently made her TV debut in the period drama Monarch Industry, which is still streaming on Chinese video hosting service Youku, while fellow Chinese actress Tang Wei (Lust, Caution ) and Taiwanese actor Chang Chen (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon ) have both dabbled in television.
These movie stars are taking part in TV productions to stay relevant while the global movie industry is in decline, says Professor Emilie Yeh Yueh-yu, dean of the faculty of arts and director of the Centre for Film and Creative Industries at Lingnan University in Hong Kong.

Zhang Ziyi's playing of a 15-year-old slammed by fans and critics

January 16, 2021
The Chinese actress has been slammed for playing a 15-year-old girl in a Chinese period drama series when she was 38 years old.
Youku
Emma Thompson did it in Ang Lee’s 1995 screen adaptation of Jane Austen’s Sense and Sensibility
, as did Dustin Hoffman in the movie classic
The Graduate in 1967. Actors taking on roles that are much younger than their real age – Thompson played a 19-year-old when she was 35 and Hoffman a college student at 30 – is nothing new.
But when Zhang Ziyi attempted such a feat recently, the Chinese superstar received a torrent of criticism from audience and critics alike.
