Recently, Michelle Yeoh was interviewed and told some behind-the-scenes stories in her career. She revealed that an accident occurred while filming "Police Story 3". She did not break the glass, but slipped along the glass. Jackie Chan reluctantly grabbed the corner of her clothes. She commented that it was "very useful." The only person injured was her stuntman, who suffered a concussion trying to save her and was admitted to the hospital.
Then when talking about Hollywood's stereotypes of Asian women, Michelle Yeoh said it was difficult to understand, "Don't you Hollywood claim to be the world's top filmmakers? How can you be so narrow-minded? Why do you always have to find excuses to use Asian faces?" "That's why "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is so special, even though it is also one of the most painful movies I have ever made."
Michelle Yeoh unceremoniously pointed out that Hollywood has long imprisoned Asian women in a few single negative roles: "vases," "Chinatown prostitutes," "beauties," or "vulnerable and submissive victims." These distorted images not only distort the true appearance of the Asian community, but also cruelly squeeze the creative space for actors to express diverse expressions.
Michelle Yeoh, originally from Fujian, China, was born in Malaysia and became famous as a "beater" in Hong Kong, China. She subverted the prejudice that "Asians can only play kung fu or docile roles" and proved that an actor's "golden period" is not defined by age. She refused to play a large number of roles full of stereotypes and insisted on choosing images that could break the tradition. From "Super Cop" to "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", the "beater" and independent female characters she has created are impressive. In order to maintain the professionalism of her action scenes, she used to exercise frantically for 11 hours a day
At the 95th Academy Awards ceremony, Chinese-American actress Michelle Yeoh won the Best Actress Award at the age of 60 for her film "The World", becoming the first Chinese-American actress to win this award in Oscar history.
