Zhang Zi Yi

Whilst running a search browsing for a front beauty shot of Gong Li, I stumbled through some bits of her "rival" in the industry, Zhang Ziyi. Even though Gong Li is still getting most of the movie contracts, as we've seen her in Curse of the Golden Flowers, Miami Vice, for example and in the upcoming Hannibal Rising. On the other hand, Zhang Ziyi is filming a new film, called the Horsemen if I'm not wrong. Both of them are pretty, while Ziyi beats Gong under the age factor. The rising star has also been voted as China's most successful woman. Here's the article of almost a month old.

Zhang Ziyi China´s Most Successful Woman [source]

Zhang Ziyi has been crowned China's most successful woman, after 31,439 netizens voted for her in a national poll conducted by Sohu.com and fashion magazine "Bazaar".

The voters say they voted for Zhang because of her successful acting career and growing reputation in the international film industry. They praised her for being smart, confident, independent and ambitious.

Actress Zhao Wei ran second in the poll. Most netizens think she transformed herself into a mature, intellectual modern woman after she returned to film school in 2006.

Super girl Li Yuchun weighed in as China's third most successful woman. Pop queen Faye Wong, hostess Yang Lan, model Lv Yan and actresses Maggie Cheung, Gong Li, Zhang Jingchu and Sun Li also ranked in the top 10.

So just watch out GL, ZY is going to kick your butt with a hard bang. Anyway, here are some pictures of her in a random magazine promoting a handbag and realizing her dream it seemed.
