张艺谋和巩俐共同完成的多部影片,是新时期以来中国的导演和演员之间成功合作的典范。从某种意义上说,正是这样的合作才真正开始了中国电影走出国门、迈向世界的步伐。它甚至还确立了中国电影与西方电影交流与对话的一种被其他导演所仿效的模式,例如借助国际资本,利用西方先进的后期制作技术,在题材内容上以表现东方奇观作为选择的标准等。 Several films jointly completed by Zhang Yimou and Gong Li are examples of successful cooperation between Chinese directors and actors since the new era. In a sense, it is such cooperation that really starts the pace of Chinese film going out of the country and into the world. It even established a model for the exchange and dialogue between Chinese films and Western films, which was modeled by other directors. For example, with the help of international capital, advanced Western post-production techniques and the selection of oriental wonders in the subject matter .
