Zhang Ziyi is different from the Yu Jiaolong described in the book, what I imagined and in the script. I originally wanted to be Yu Jiaolong with a strong heart and a very young appearance, but Zhang Ziyi's own temperament is completely opposite to what I imagined. Her strengths are sexy and gentle. Seeing her, she can't think of a masculine side. As a last resort, I had to turn, follow her characteristic development, and take the sexy route. Because she gave me a lot of difficulties, so in the process of training her, there was a kind of stimulation. Yujiaolong is like the dragon hidden in Chuangli, which represents the instability of the mind and nature, and is also related to the Chinese taboo - sexual desire, so it also falls into the idea of Bamboo Forest. In my original idea, the bamboo forest play was just a fight. In the past, everyone only fought in the bamboo forest, and I never saw anyone fighting on the bamboo forest, but I had some fantasies about it. Later, the color of the entire bamboo forest, green, and her blurred relationship with Li Mubai, gave her the new direction she has now. Because the scene of the confrontation between the two women in the front, the rise of the killing, has been played for four minutes, and the bamboo forest after that is afraid of getting bored, so I thought of going the "disturbed" route, which is all because of Zhang Ziyi. Get inspired.

Ten Years Sleeping Movie Dream Excerpt
Originally, I didn't expect that there would be any emotional association between Yu Jiaolong and Li Mubai. First of all, Wang Huiling was interested in this, and it was compiled into the play. Yu Jiaolong was still very handsome at that time. But when I met Zhang Ziyi, I changed it, because Zhang Ziyi was a very delicate girl at that time, and she couldn't make the "Yin-yang symbiosis" Yu Jiaolong I originally imagined. Her characteristic is that she is sexy and can't see the masculine side. At most, she can act a little fierce, playing a spoiled and self-willed girl, plus a modern middle-class girl playing a classical aristocrat, her temperament is really difficult. The mountain does not turn around, so it developed along her characteristics, and it turned out to be a very interesting experience.

Ang Lee himself mentioned this: If you
watch the commentary, both Ang Lee and screenwriter James Schamus, in a scene
where Jiao Long is stroking the Green Destiny, call it a "phallic symbol". Wh
ether she was aware of it or not, her strong desire for the sword to them was
a way for her to 'possess' its owner, Li Mubai.
