Zhang Ziyi, with a role as a “cold beauty” in Wong Kar Wai’s “The Grand Master一代宗师”, recently posed for the February issue of Marie Claire. Some pictures under the cut, and the rest of the photo shoot can be seen here.
Zhang Ziyi will be working alongside Tong Leung Chiu Wai, who will play the title character. “The Grand Master”will be Tong Leung’s first kungfu flick and tells the story of martial artist Yip Man. To prepare for the role, Tony Leung underwent extensive training in the “Wing Chun Fist” (this was the fighting style that Yip Man used). Zhang Ziyi and Song Hye-Kyo also participated in martial arts training for their roles in the film.
See why Leung’s Yip Man has been called the Chinese “Dark Knight” by watching a teaser for the film.
