What would really interest the stunning young woman would be playing a wild American girl.
"I'd like to play an American teen, a very modern, typical American girl with a very rebellious character. I don't smoke, I don't drink, but I want to play someone who is really outrageous. I think that would be so cool," she told Time magazine.
After starring in Chinese director Feng Xiaogang's big-budget film The Banquet, she is looking forward to the next film.
"I have received a lot of offers to act in English-speaking roles but I haven't decided. I want to a take on a kind of movie that I've never tried."
Zhang first burst into the international film scene with her role in Ang Lee's acclaimed martial arts adventure Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and is now hot property in Hollywood after a series of blockbuster films.
Despite her meteoric rise, the actress admits she would give all her fame away in a heartbeat for a husband, house and a "few dogs and kids".
Zhang, 27, said her ultimate dream is to enjoy a simple family life and is even willing to give up acting for the "right person".
