When it comes to the "terrifying" works in the film industry, many people will vote for "Lust and Caution".
Perhaps many people will be curious that this movie has not won nearly 11 nominations, but has even been shortlisted for the Venetian Golden Lion Award.
set a box office record of 90 million in the mainland for two weeks. Why can’t such an outstanding achievement still “can’t make a move”?
It turned out that it was because of those three incredible highlights. Although it gave the otaku many years of dreaming materials, it made countless conservative audiences curse.
I remember that Tang Wei was banned by domestic entertainment for decades because of Wang Jiazhi's role, which made her lose her love and job, and she could only marry far away.
However, as the times become more and more inclusive, "Lust·Care" has gradually removed the label of restricted films and developed in the direction of the main film.
and received a high score of 8.6 on Douban, ranking first in many inland classic films.
And as the popularity continues to rise, the interesting stories about the set of "Lust, Caution" are gradually revealed.
This time, let’s talk about some interesting things behind “Lust and Caution”!
01, An Li is dissatisfied with domestic entertainment actresses. Who should Wang Jiazhi ask for to play?
In 2006, Jiang Wen got avant-garde and super-large script of the Republic of China.
Jiang Wen flipped through the script a little. When he learned that the story was about abusive love between a decent woman and a traitor,
declined on the grounds that the script was too emotional and could not be on the stage: "This is a girl's thing." After
refused, Jiang Wen ran to film " The sun rises as usual ".
No wonder, Jiang Wen gives everyone the feeling of masculinity, and you can feel the breath of male hormones from Jiang Wen's previous works.
Later, the script died several times, and after dozens of people, it was finally handed over to Ang Lee.
At that time, Ang Lee happened to be trying to direct a villain film of the Republic of China, and this script was exactly what he wanted.
In order to make the character more dramatic conflict sex, he added a lot of character conflicts to Zhang Ailing's work "Lust, Caution".
The prototype of the work actually exists. The heroine Wang Jiazhi is Zhang Ailing herself, and the gloomy Mr. Yi is her ex-husband, Wang Jingwei's subordinate Hu Lancheng .
When I saw the whole story had a synopsis, Ang Lee felt that this would be his greatest work.
Then he spent months modifying the script, but he was in trouble again!
The heroine Wang Jiazhi with a distinct personality is the core of the whole story. If she is selected, she will be almost half of her success.
Unfortunately, this character is the hardest to choose!
in the early stage, young and ignorant, as calm as a chrysanthemum, and later, he had to burn his boats and transform into a sonorous rose, and his character was very complicated.
In fact, many actresses came to audition when they heard that it was the script directed by Ang Lee.
Looking at the at-high-spirited Mou girl Chapter Ziyi , Ang Lee said that she was clearly slim and her stubborn appearance did not look like Wang Jiazhi.
colleagues also recommended female stars such as Zhou Xun , Das s, Liu Yifei , but he said that the performance traces are very heavy and do not conform to the role settings.
He chose a circle but couldn't pick a suitable actress. He finally took a fancy to the fairy sister Liu Yifei, who matched her temperament.
But at that time, her agency felt that the plot was explicit and politely refused.
When Ang Lee was at a loss, Tang Wei walked in front of him. At that time, she had only played a transparent actress in " Police Flower Swallow ".
But she had a sense of story that made him admire it very much, so Tang Wei became the heroine of "Lust and Caution".
In order to play the role of Wang Jiazhi well, Ang Lee pulled her to do training for several months.
Ask a specialist teacher to teach her how to learn Shanghai dialect, sing Pingtan , how to walk in cheongsams and high heels, etc.
According to unknown statistics, "Lust and Caution" has a total of 118 scenes, and the events in the past four months have been filming Tang Wei.
, and Tang Wei has lived up to expectations, and his extraordinary performance in "Lust·Adjudgment" has won unanimous recognition from everyone.
02. Mr. Yi is very popular, Mr. Ge, Zheng Kai, also wants to get a share of the pie
It’s funny to say that when the heroine casting was in a deadlock, the hero Mr. Yi became a hot commodity for many actors to compete for each other.
is also a work, and it is also the protagonist. Why is the gap so big?
of that year, Ge You has not yet become a bald head, and is a thousand miles away from the famous Ge You.
, with his strength and acting skills, has gained the appreciation of many directors and has participated in well-known films such as " Party A and Party B ", "The Story of the Editorial Department", and " Live ".
At that time, he wanted to get in touch with a villain role. In addition, Ge You liked Ang Lee's directorial style very much, and it was also an attempt to cooperate with the director of " Brokeback Mountain ".
So when he learned that "Lust and Caution" selected the male lead, he also publicly expressed his love for the role of Mr. Yi.
However, the fallen flowers are willing to follow the flowing water. Ang Lee has other considerations for Mr. Yi, which makes Ge Youkong happy.
Why did Ang Lee dare to reject this big shot in the Beijing circle? It turned out that he had long taken a fancy to Mr. Yi's appearance and temperament very much in line with Mr. Yi's Tony Leung .
just so happened that Tony Leung was controversial because of his participation in "The Spring Light" not long ago, and in order to seek a breakthrough, he agreed to Ang Lee's invitation.
Although most of the outside world castings for Mr. Yi, Ang Lee was actually optimistic about Zheng Kai, a newcomer in the film industry.
also personally invited him to be Tony Leung's stand-in, but was rejected by Zheng Kai's company.
In this way, the casting of the film came to an end, and "Lust and Caution" entered the stage of filming that was booming.
03. It is too deeply involved in the role. The protagonists hugged their heads and cried bitterly on the day of the filming.
Although acting is the main job of an actor, the film "Lust and Caution" is really difficult.
In addition to the suppressed emotions of Wang Jiazhi and Mr. Yi, the exposed background of the times is also very heavy.
There are many characters' psychological descriptions of in the video. The imminent confrontation looks exciting, but it is difficult for the actors.
Sometimes Tony Leung is too immersed in the role of the role of Mr. Yi, and Tang Wei can't recover for a long time.
When they stumbling on the emotional interpretation of the characters, the most difficult thing is three action scenes.
In fact, Tang Wei and Tony Leung both negotiated with Ang Lee whether they could remove these scenes, but the director refused.
In Ang Lee's view, these three scenes are not only a psychological showdown between Wang Jiazhi and Mr. Yi, but also an intuitive understanding of the characters' bonds.
After convinced the actors to perform, in order not to let them feel burdened, Ang Lee also specially chose a relatively relaxed space, leaving only the photographer to shoot the scene with himself.
After the film was completed, Tony Leung and Tang Wei looked at the recording they had worked hard, and they hugged their heads and cried bitterly.
For them, this movie really devotes its entire life to it.
Tony Leung has not taken over any film and television dramas for a long time after participating in "Lust and Caution". It seems that the sequelae of "Lust and Caution" is really great!
Can anyone think of it? Ang Lee's "Lust and Caution" won many awards, and Tony Leung gained popularity, but brought many insults to Tang Wei.
Many people say that Ang Lee signed the confidentiality agreement before filming, and those bed scenes were specially processed.
But it is said that at the premiere of the film, Carina Lau left angrily after seeing the so-called action scene.
When the media tried to learn some truth from her, she replied : This is his career, and I should respect his choice.
Coincidentally, when Tang Wei finished filming the video, he received the news of breaking up with her boyfriend Tian Yu.
Looking at a lot of news, netizens don’t believe in the so-called special treatment. It should be a real gun and live ammunition performance!
It is precisely because of this that Tang Wei was slandered by the audience and could do anything to make a name for her.
In fact, many people are very curious about why others were not scolded, and the artillery fire was concentrated on Tang Wei!
Because Ang Lee is an excellent director, the Oscar nomination and Lifetime Achievement Award leave the audience with nothing to say.
The male lead Tony Leung won many awards. As the actor, he can be seen as making sacrifices for the role.
Then the public had to pull someone off, and this person was Tang Wei, who was not very famous.
However, when the domestic entertainment banned Tang Wei, many people came out to support her.
, such as the poisonous tongue sister Jin Xing and , Feng Xiaogang, , both said: , If the mainland bans Tang Wei, Ang Lee and Tony Leung should be banned.
Unfortunately, there are not many people like this, and they are overwhelmed by bad comments not long after.
And Tang Wei looked at the public in such a posture and just left the circle. Ang Lee, who brought her unrestrained disaster, also funded her a tuition fee for studying abroad, allowing her to go to London to further her studies and learn many skills.
But if a 28-year-old girl is not really desperate, who would choose to go far away?
Fortunately, after several years, Tang Wei began to make a comeback to film. His art films such as "Fall in Love with the Female Anchor" and "Hennessy Hinnessy " have all received positive reviews, and then they also gained an enviable relationship.
Looking at the decades of broadcast of "Lust and Caution", there have been joy and sorrow, but in the end they have all been proven to be worth it and are a real masterpiece!
So verifying the quality of a work is not just reputation, but still time!
