Behind the movie camera, there is more than just fake acting. How big of a sacrifice did Tang Wei make?

"Lust, Caution" is a novel written by Zhang Ailing in 1950 and published in her "Wang Ran Ji" 30 years later. In the 1830s, the Japanese invaded, society was dark, and the people were in dire straits. A group of aspiring young people turned into assassins and wanted to use a honey trap to assassinate a senior spy, Mr. Yi. Wang Jiazhi was selected as the implementer of the beauty trap because she was young, beautiful and talented. She tried every means to get close to Mr. Yi. The two sides went from suspicion to fall. In the end, Wang Jiazhi was not as cruel as Mr. Yi after all. Tang Wei's growth experience

Tang Wei, who was born in 1979, lives in a family full of scholarly atmosphere. Both parents are "civil servants" and have received high ideological education. They also have great expectations for Tang Wei. I just want her to marry a loving husband and have a stable job when she grows up.

But Tang Wei has been very thoughtful since she was a child. She has many plans for her future. She once thought about being an actor and a writer, so she worked hard to achieve her goals.

However, as for Tang Wei’s childhood plans, her parents just thought she was joking. Children didn’t understand anything, so they didn’t discipline her too much. However, when Tang Wei was in high school, she ignored her. After her family objected and she took a crash course in acting, her parents realized she wasn't 'just talking'.

Successive failures did not make Tang Wei lose confidence. She started to play small roles. She always believed that through hard work, she would succeed one day. However, she did not know that a sudden "pornographic film" made Tang Wei lose confidence. My efforts of more than 20 years stopped in 2007. "Lust, Caution"

Ang Lee once made this work into a movie, starring Tony Leung and Tang Wei. This movie brilliantly demonstrates the acting skills of the two people, and it is a very meaningful movie. It's a pity that the film was banned because there were five explicit scenes of passion in it. Tang Wei went from becoming famous to being completely banned. In a short period of time, she experienced heaven to hell and passed through the world.

Many people question whether Ang Lee shoots so many passionate scenes to attract attention. In fact, every play is worth discussing, and every play has its own meaning. However, the audience focused on the scale, but ignored the connotation of the movie itself.

But when Ang Lee found Shu Qi, after reading the script, Shu Qi said that she was not very willing to do a scene where she had to take off her clothes one by one, so she decided to do it on the spot. Rejected Ang Lee.

So Ang Lee began to look for new candidates. He also considered Zhang Ziyi, but he always believed that Zhang Ziyi was not the most suitable candidate.

Because he was familiar with Zhang Ailing’s works, he found that the heroine in "Lust, Caution" has an awe-inspiring spirit, but there is also decadence in this awe-inspiringness, just like Weilong in "The First Incense" knew exactly what she wanted to do, but she couldn't sink into it. The acting skills of Tang Wei and Tony Leung

"Lust, Caution" stars Tony Leung and Tang Wei. The heroine Wang Jiazhi in the film is a character who is very entangled between reason and emotion. In order to restore the novel to the greatest extent, and perform the soul of the fictional character in the novel, as well as three very "large-scale" intimate scenes, this was not the case at the time. This is a big test for Tang Wei who has not acted in many works.

Fortunately, the final result of the film was very good, and later the film also won important awards such as the Golden Horse Award and the Golden Lion Award. However, while Tang Wei and Tony Leung received popularity and praise, they also received doubts and insults from many people.

It is because several large-scale scenes in the film are too realistic that Tang Wei was also criticized. He was said to be "shameless" and "to become famous immediately". When "Lust, Caution" was released, not only many The scene was deleted, and the lead actress Tang Wei was also "banned."

After the filming of "Lust, Caution" was completed, Ang Lee also accepted Tang Wei as his adopted daughter, and also let her work in his friend's company and temporarily study abroad.

After Tang Wei returned from school, the turmoil had almost subsided. Now that Tang Wei was filming again, she had become a capable actor, and was no longer the naive little girl she was before.

As the saying goes, there are gains and losses. Whatever you want to gain, you must sacrifice something. As for how to choose, the key lies in yourself.

It is precisely because of Tang Wei and Tony Leung Chiu-wai's dedication to art that we have seen the classic movie "Lust, Caution". Behind success, there is always hard work.
