At the 44th Taiwan Film Golden Horse Film Festival, "Lust and Caution" won 8 awards, and won 138 million yuan in box office worldwide. The film was a big success. Tang Wei was also very popular,
but it also caused a lot of controversy. The so-called popular people have many right and wrong. Tang Wei and Tony Leung were said to be "fake plays and real things", and the shooting process was also full of twists and turns. To a certain extent, the behind-the-scenes story of "Lust and Caution" is far more shocking than you think! Do you dare to accept the role of
?
2006, Ang Lee as the director of "Lust and Caution", cast the role of the film. We all know that Ang Lee is an internationally renowned director, and the script is adapted from Zhang Ailing novel.
Whether it is a director or a script, the level is undeniable. The film is highly likely to be popular, but due to the scale issue, it will affect the reputation of an actress.
For lukewarm actors, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity (after all, if you try it, it is possible that a bicycle will turn into a motorcycle. What if it is really popular?) , during the audition , Someone was fighting to the point of being a big fight and wanted to participate in this movie. Many female stars were also hesitating. It would be fine if the movie became popular. If the movie was not popular, it would be really "losed the wife and the soldiers." "
And Lee first cast the male lead, (the casting of the male lead is relatively much smoother)
And Lee found Jiang Wen as the producer of "Lust and Caution", but Jiang Wen refused. After he got the script, he said:
"I don't understand this woman, you said that it is the (script) girl's thing."
Ann Li is good at showing the tenderness and delicateness of women, and tends to be feminine.
But Jiang Wen is obviously a masculine male actor. He likes the kind of real-life style and the kind of love story. He really can't like it.
Ann Li found Zhang Yimou , Ge You is the male lead , playing the role of Mr. Yi, the traitor spy leader in the film. When talking about Mr. Yi's casting, Ang Lee also said that the first thing he thought of was Zhang Yimou, because this character is cold and elegant (Mr. Yi is a ruthless and cunning "spy"),
Zhang Yimou meets this temperament, and Zhang Yimou's acting skills are online, not just big. The director also won the Best Actor Award at the Tokyo Film Festival with "Old Well",
But at that time, Zhang Yimou was already a well-known director, and there were too many more important things to do, but he didn't agree.
Zhang Yimou also felt very regretful. Ge You's assistant Zhang Kui said that Ge You hoped to participate in the film, but because Ge You looked thin, although he acted The skills are online, but the eyes have a kind of "comedyness". It was still Tony Leung who volunteered to say that he wanted to play Mr. Yi. After going around in circles, Ang Lee finally decided to let Tony Leung participate. Why?
Zhang Ailing's novel tells a story like this:
talks about the Anti-Japanese War. Female college student Wang Jiazhi fell in love with male classmate Kuang Yumin, and because of her admiration, she joined his "anti-traitor team" and was mainly responsible for assassinating some traitors.
This group of college students let the beautiful female college student Wang Jiazhi approach her in order to assassinate the traitor Mr. Yi.
But who would have thought that female college student Wang Jiazhi was not firm enough in her heart. , not sure, she fell in love with the big traitor Mr. Yi, and had no intention of assassinating him, and threw herself into his arms.
When Wang Jiazhi approached Mr. Yi for the first time, she was full of loopholes. In front of Mr. Yi, she tried her best to pretend to be a noble lady, but after all, they were all pretending, and there were inevitably mistakes.
while drinking coffee, she accidentally stuck her lipstick. There are various small details on the coffee cup, which made the traitor Mr. Yi suspicious. He felt that she was not simple and must have other plans, so he deliberately alienated and left Hong Kong and returned to Shanghai.
Three years later, the group of classmates found Wang Jiazhi again, hoping to complete the plan he had set before. This time, Wang Jiazhi was obviously more experienced and not full of loopholes as before, but Mr. Yi was still very suspicious. Just like the trial of a criminal, he was very wary of Wang Jiazhi. He found that she had no gun on her body, so he let go of his guard.
You can think about it. A female college student was originally going to approach a big traitor, but later fell in love with him. In this case, the male protagonist has a higher appearance, which is obviously more in line with the plot. After all, the hero is sad to pass the beauty. Compared with ordinary actors, Tony Leung naturally takes charge.
Although the male lead was chosen quickly, it was difficult to choose the female lead. Ang Lee first found Shu Qi , but Shu Qi refused when she heard a kiss scene. After all, she finally succeeded in transformation and naturally refused to play such a role.
Ang Lee found Liu Yifei , Zhou Xun , Zhang Ziyi , Big S, but either she refused to play it.
or she felt that there was a difference with the role of "Wang Jiazhi",
Ang Lee believed that Zhang Ziyi worked hard in the entertainment industry for many years. Although her acting skills were online, she lacked that kind of thing. She had a pure look like a college student, and Zhang Ziyi later talked about Tang Wei's appearance in "Lust and Caution", Zhang Ziyi said:
"I admire Tang Wei very much, but I really can't do it myself, I really can't do it, and there is no need!"
Although Big S intends to participate in the role, Ang Lee feels that Big S also lacks a pure feeling. When considering Zhou Xun, he feels that the other party is a little older.
Ang Lee spent three months casting and couldn't find a suitable candidate. Until he saw Tang Wei, he immediately made up his mind. is like seeing an oasis in the desert, just like Bole seeing a thousand-mile horse, Ang Lee praised Tang Wei because Tang Wei is so suitable for this role!
Tang Wei looked very pretty. When she wore a cheongsam, she was like a Chinese female teacher who came out of calligraphy and painting in the Republic of China. She had the gentleness of a Jiangnan woman.
also had a faint coldness. She was not the most beautiful, but she had a simple atmosphere.
At that time, Tang Wei was only 27 years old. After graduating from the Central Academy of Drama, she worked hard in the entertainment industry for several years and participated in some movies, but she was not popular. Tang Wei also had a boyfriend who had been dating for many years. If nothing unexpected happened, the two might get married later.
Tang Wei got the script after getting the script , hesitated for a long time, because there are a lot of kissing scenes in the play, which may have a certain impact on him in the future, but Tang Wei does not want to miss this opportunity. The opportunity is once in a while and it will be fleeting. Once he missed it, he may never wait again. At that time, Tang Wei said:
"I am already twenty-seven years old. If I don't become popular, I really have no chance. I want to try it!"
After seeing Ang Lee, Tang Wei put on a cheongsam. Ang Lee looked at Tang Wei's image and felt very satisfied.
But although Tang Wei wanted to participate, his family and boyfriend strongly opposed it. His boyfriend was angry. He said:
"If you dare to shoot this movie, you will break up with you."
At that time, Tang Wei's boyfriend was starring in " Charlotte Troubles " by Teacher Wang in " Charlotte Troubles ". He persuaded Tang Wei for a long time to threaten his breakup.
It is said that Tang Wei cried all night at that time, but still did not change his mind.
Tang Wei's family was well-off. After reading the script, his parents blushed. They were determined not to let their daughter shoot such a work. , but with Tang Wei's insistence, he had to follow his daughter.
parents had to pass the hurdle, but her boyfriend Tian Yu couldn't get over that hurdle, and she felt like there was a thorn in her heart. After filming "Lust and Caution", the two broke up.
After all, love and career are often not allowed to have both. Only by giving up can you gain. At critical moments, you have to make some choices.
For Tang Wei, her boyfriend is very important, and her career is more important. She doesn't have so much time to be sad. She must show 100% sincerity to complete this work in order to be worthy of her sacrifice.
Tony Leung's "stand-in-one"
Some people say that "Lust and Caution" is an eternal classic. Tony Leung's acting skills are indescribable. Both eyes and body movements are quite good. Relatively speaking, Tang Wei is a newcomer, with a slightly immature acting skills, but it just shows the simplicity and shyness of a female college student to the fullest.
Before the filming of the movie, Ang Lee gave Tang the cheongsam and asked her to learn Shanghai Mahjong and Suzhou Pingtan. , asked Tang Wei to practice Shanghai dialect in cheongsam and high heels. During the training time every day,
actually reached more than 10 hours. It was necessary to meet the requirements for one eye to create an action. A few months later, Ang Lee saw Tang Wei wearing a cheongsam and said:
"This is the Wang Jiazhi I am obsessed with!"
half a year later, the movie started filming.
fake dramas are really done?
There were three highlights in the film, which was very controversial because the acting skills of the male and female protagonists were online, and they were said to be "fake plays and real things". Although all of them were deleted later, it was a challenge for the male and female protagonists during the filming. Tony Leung said in an interview:
"The movie contains some, and I have always had psychological disorders."
Director Ang Lee also revealed that he also found a "stand-in" for Tony Leung, but Tony Leung is loyal to art and refused decisively.
Tony Leung has been famous for a long time. He wants to be rich and famous. What he cares most about is the improvement of his acting skills. What he wants to pursue is to make continuous breakthroughs.
Tony Leung is loyal to art. Tang Wei's professionalism is also remarkable. He only wants to make a good movie. Tang Wei said:
"I don't matter, what matters is the role of Wang Jiazhi."
Both of them are very dedicated to filming. There was a scene that was repeatedly filmed thirteen times. When director Ang Lee called for a card, Tony Leung and Tang Wei almost collapsed.
In order to make the expression more realistic, Tony Leung sometimes has to drink a lot of red wine,
Tang Wei also suffered huge pressure. After several scenes, the filming was done, and the eyes of Tang Wei was in. The innocence of college students disappeared, and the state became very unstable. In this case, Ang Lee could only stop shooting and let Tang Wei adjust his status in time.
two people performed in front of the camera. Ang Lee captured every move next to him and observed every look.
Ang Lee said in an interview:
"Tang Wei's performance is not particularly outstanding. In acting, she has to be trained."
shooting is very skillful. Sometimes, Tang Wei and Tony Leung rehearsed several times for a shot. In order to make them less psychological pressure, Ang Lee asked the irrelevant staff to leave, leaving only one photographer.
"Lust Caution" filming took 118 days, of which 114 days were filming Tang Wei. It is a huge torment for psychology.
After the filming of the movie, Liang Chao Wei and Tang Wei hugged their heads and cried bitterly. Later, Tony Leung was interviewed and said that after the movie was completed, he became seriously ill. After half a year, his body recovered. For two years after the movie was filmed, Tony Leung did not take on a new show. Carina Lau After watching the movie,
also remained silent for a long time. Even after a long time, Carina Lau still admitted that he cared about this matter.
staff revealed that in order to completely restore Shanghai in 1942, every one of the movies was like. The props are specially customized. Ang Lee has been looking for a diamond in the movie for more than 4 months.
also did a lot of research on the prices at that time. Not only that, Ang Lee also searched for a lot of information and old photos,
even the poster on the plaque in every store in the movie,
even the poster on the plaque in each store in the movie,
Ang Lee will carefully compare one of the pistols. There was a problem with one of the pistols, and there was a part on them that obviously did not belong to that era. Ang Lee recognized the pistol,
In order to make each picture as perfect as possible, Ang Lee spent tens of millions to build a city to make the building fit the original appearance as much as possible.
Due to scale issues, the film was constantly deleted. The professionalism of the crew and actors of the crew is indeed worthy of praise. The movie is almost impeccable and has a very high artistic nature. After the movie was completed, Ang Lee said to Tang Wei:
"After this drama is released, whether you can get married depends on luck. "
After the movie was released, her boyfriend Tian Yu and Tang Wei broke up. In fact, many people may not know that at the beginning, they planned to get married after filming the movie, but it was also because of the movie that there were differences.
2007, after the movie was released, it won a world-class award and nomination. Tang Wei became a household name overnight,
But who would have thought that less than two years after the movie was released, the public opinion trend had a 180-degree change. From praise to criticism, Tang Wei became the target of public criticism. All advertisements and endorsements were cancelled, and the promised movie was also replaced.
Tang Wei was banned by the mainland. On the other hand, Ang Lee became famous and Tony Leung won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor. However, Tang Wei's acting career was stagnant and was overwhelmed by the overwhelming abuse on the Internet. He didn't even dare to leave.
Fortunately, director Ang Lee paved the way for Tang Wei and sent her to London to study drama. Tang Wei lived a difficult life abroad. While learning English, he also had to work part-time to support himself. He worked as a model and a badminton coach for a period of time. Sometimes he had to paint on his body and stand on the street to promote himself. After the storm was completely subsided, he gradually emerged. As if he had expected it very early, he regarded Tang Wei as his goddaughter and entrusted Tang Wei to him. Jiang Zhiqiang , known as the " Asian gold medal producer ", asked him to help Tang Wei make a comeback.
director is Ang Lee, and the male lead is Tony Leung, but only Tang Wei bears the bitter fruit.
at that time, Venus and Feng Xiaogang were unfair to Tang Wei:
"The movie is not the only one who plays Tang Wei personally, why only Tang Wei is banned? "
Wang Jiazhi made Tang Wei, and Tang Wei also made the role of Wang Jiazhi, proving himself with his acting skills. A movie can make a person famous overnight, but it can also destroy a person.
It is precisely because of this movie that the outside world has re-examined Tang Wei's beauty. Some people say:
"The most beautiful thing about Tang Wei is not in his face, but in his every move, with a unique charm."
When Tang Wei entered the entertainment industry, he was always lukewarm. It was not just because of his acting skills, but in the aesthetic environment at that time, compared to other actors, Tang Wei's appearance was not particularly outstanding.
But after the movie was released, others discovered that
Tang Wei The beauty of the Jiangnan woman is a kind of jasper beauty, a kind of warm beauty of the weak willow and the wind ,
Maybe from the appearance alone, Tang Wei is not as charming as the whole country, but in terms of temperament, some people in the entertainment industry say:
"Tang Wei's temperament is like a rose in a nobody's land, on a desolate land, she is the last colorful rose! "
Life is ups and downs, sometimes the so-called flowers and applause, and the troubles of the outside world, but it is a flash in the pan.
It is undeniable that Tang Wei left a strong mark in the history of Chinese films, which is enough.
