This article examines and compares Zhang Ziyi’s star identity and image in China and the West by using several films in which she acted that enjoyed fame on the international stage, such as Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Memoirs of a Geisha, as case studies. The evolution of her Asian female identity in American cinema is further analyzed by combing through her career development in Hollywood. At the same time, it is useful to describe her as a symbol of the Asian consumer market by examining how her cosmopolitan identity, described as a “modern woman”, is represented in advertisements or magazines for brands she represents. This paper seeks to reveal the development of Chinese female identity as revealed by the character of Zhang in Hollywood films. It finds that Zhang has shaped the Western perception of Chinese female immigrants with her outstanding performance through comparing her perceptions in the West and China. Moreover, her remarkable influence and identity symbol promote the localization of overseas brands in Asian markets.

As we re-imagine and re-boot at an ever faster pace, this series explores the different strands of contemporary culture and gender. Looking across cinema, television, graphic novels, fashion studies and reality TV, the series asks: what has changed for gender? And, perhaps more seriously, what has not? Have representations of genders changed? How much does the concept of 'gender' in popular culture define and limit us?We not only consume cultural texts but share them more than ever before; meanings and messages reach more people and perpetuate more understandings (and misunderstandings) than at any time in history. This new series interrogates whether feminism has challenged or changed misogynist attitudes in popular culture.Emerald Studies in Popular Culture and Gender provides a focus for writers and researchers interested in sociological and cultural research that expands our understanding of the ontological status of gender, popular culture and related discourses, objects and practices.
