Though Liu Ye became famous in his early twenties, winning several best actor awards, compared to veterans Chow Yun-fat and Gong Li, the actor is still quite inexperienced. So did he feel any pressure acting in scenes with Chow and Gong? “There hasn’t been much pressure because I just consider myself a young actor. It’s not in the least bit strange that a young actor isn’t as good as very accomplished ones like Chow Yun-fat and Gong Li.” “Zhang Yimou is like a father to me. He actually cares for every member of the production team." Now that Zhang Yimou’s latest production “Golden Flower” has finished shooting, if everything goes smoothly, the production will wrap before September 15th, in time for the director to apply for the Oscars. And it’ll also be Liu Ye’s first time in the international film market. From an article in CRIENGLISH
