《综艺》（variety)表示，章子怡在美国一般大众的心目中，不但是典型的中国美女，且有着一身功夫，更重要的是她“好学不倦、勤练英语”。而且她的独特气质让美国人想起他们银幕上的公主——奥黛丽·赫本。《艺伎回忆录》的联合制片人露西·菲舍尔也表示：“她让我想起了奥黛丽·赫本，她将会成为未来的超级明星。”
在接受《综艺》采访的时候，章子怡表现了东方人独有的谦虚谨慎。她说：“到现在我仍然一直不敢相信，有一天我会拍电影，我会上杂志的封面……不过我同时也相信命运的安排。”
章子怡显然对这份调查结果非常感兴趣，直说会更加努力。而今年下半年她将回到中国，拍摄冯小刚导演的《夜宴》一片。另外，她还会再接演一部好莱坞电影。最有可能的就是《美食仙乐飘》。
Variety 原文如下： Ziyi Zhang actor Makes a difference by: Crossing over
from celebrated Chinese actress to Hollywood star. This fall, she
plays the English-speaking lead in Rob MarshallRob Marshall's
anticipated "Memoirs of a Geisha." Zhang portrays Japanese geisha
Nitta Sayuri, the movie's narrator. The role required Zhang to
improve her basic English, learn traditional geisha dance steps and
age convincingly from 16 to 40. "Geisha" producer Lucy FisherLucy
Fisher likens Zhang to Audrey Hepburn. Fisher describes the actress
as deeply committed, and says she expects Zhang to achieve
monumental stardom. "We needed somebody who would actually be able
to carry a movie," Fisher says. "She's got everything that we
needed -- someone who could age ... could have a sense of humor,
could be glamorous, could be the center of a love story, and also
be ballsy and a heroine." Recent accomplishments: Zhang's martial
arts-centered turn in Ang LeeAng Lee's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden
Dragon""Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" got moviegoers cheering and
men swooning. She's a spokesmodel for Maybelline, and she has
worked with award-winning directors Wong Kar Wai ("2046") and Zhang
Yimou ("House of Flying Daggers," "Hero" and "The Road Home""The
Road Home"). "I'm so grateful to those directors," Zhang says.
"They always give me advice. They keep telling me ... what kind of
movie to make next. They give me hope ... but they have faith in
me, too, to be a great actress." Along the way: After taking a
college aptitude test, Zhang gained acceptance to China's premiere
drama academy. Only seven young women made the cut. As a girl,
she'd studied dance extensively, a skill that comes in handy when
playing an intricately choreographed action scene. Point of view:
Zhang sees acting as her authentic path. She loves the craft, and
says she thrives under pressure. "By accident I became an actress.
I never thought one day I can make a movie, I can be on a cover.
... These things happened. I believe in destiny." Coming up: She'll
play a musical mail-order bride in Wayne WangWayne Wang's "Good
Cook, Likes Music." This fall, Zhang goes home to Beijing to begin
work on the Chinese-language period drama "Banquet."
