Zhang Ziyi still down to earth

Actress Zhang Ziyi shaved her eyebrows and served soup to the crew during the filiming of upcoming film The Banquet, director Feng Xiaogang said in a recent interview.

Despite her success in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Rush Hour 2 and Memoirs, she still remains an easy person to work with according to Feng.
