Zhang Ziyi

Made films the shows talk about.

No film of theirs is counted: acting and studio count only when asked for, so what they drew on and who drew on them comes only from the lines with them at one end. Count them as actor (4 films) instead.

Draws on

What the speakers say they, or a film of theirs, drew on. Each is a speaker's account: “the maker said so” when they report the maker's own words, “the host's read” when the read is theirs.

No line says they, or a film of theirs, drew on anything.

Drawn on by

What the speakers say drew on them or a film of theirs, marked the same way.

No line says anything drew on them or a film of theirs.

contrast (1)

  1. contrast (contrast): Zhang Ziyi → Memoirs of a Geisha. Zhang later was in Memoirs of a Geisha, which has an even worse language/accent problem.
    “It's funny that Jung Zi was then in memoirs of a geisha, which has an even worse problem.”

Fun items about them

  1. fun, about Zhang Ziyi: Spoke no English on Rush Hour 2; Jackie Chan translated everything, so she never had to talk to Brett Ratner.
    “Zijing didn't speak a word of English when she did rush hour too.”
