If you want to say that Tang Wei is the brightest star in the Korean film industry this year, no one should object, right? Not only won the two best actresses at the Buri Film Festival and the Spring History Film Festival, but also the first foreign actress in the two film festivals. Before "Determination to Break Up" has represented South Korea to compete for the Oscar for Best International Film, as long as it can finally be shortlisted in the top five, Tang Wei will have the opportunity to walk on the Oscar red carpet. Just recently, the Oscars officially released "New Movies in October", as the heroine of "Determination to Break Up" Tang Wei successfully appeared on the cover. It seems that the Oscar officials also recognize this film very much.
It is reported that South Korea's CJ has invested more than $10 million as the Oscar PR fee for "Determination to Break Up", surpassing the previous winning film "Parasite". In recent years, the American Academy Awards have given special preference to Korean films, not only "Parasite" won the 2020 Oscar for Best International Film, but Lee Jung-jae also won the Emmy Award for Best Actor for his wonderful performance in "Squid Game". Looking at it this way, Tang Wei's hope of winning the award for "Determination to Break Up" this year is very great. Although "Determination to Break Up" is not a Chinese movie, as the heroine's mother's family, if she can win the award, she will also feel honored.
Many netizens may have questions when they see it? Why do xenophobic Koreans like Tang Wei so much? It's even a bit of a "kneeling and licking" feeling.
First of all, the status of artists in Korea is generally like this: movie actors> TV drama actors> solo singers> idol groups> funny entertainers. Didn't Tang Wei reach the peak all of a sudden? Chinese actresses generally known to Koreans are: Gong Li> Maggie Cheung> Zhang Ziyi, and recently added Tang Wei.
Secondly, Tang Wei's previous film "Late Autumn" was a co-production, and the producer promoted it very strongly, and at that time Tang Wei developed in Hong Kong, and South Korea was more interested in Hong Kong filmmakers due to the influence of Hong Kong martial arts films. In addition, the male protagonist of "Late Autumn", Hyun Bin, also has a high national degree and evaluation. They had the opportunity to get close to Tang Wei, and Tang Wei himself performed well in South Korea, dignified and literary and artistic, and a little shy, faintly and not rejecting people thousands of miles away, plus Tang Wei has no scandals, does not play big names of good reputation, naturally the national favorability is high, this feeling really makes them like.
The most important, of course, is the addition of "Determination to Break Up". In fact, the way Korean movies show women is actually very single, first of all, "weak", always appearing in an image of being bullied and oppressed by men, which requires actresses to be able to perform Chu Chu pitiful, and Tang Wei's naturally confused fawn eyes have their own weak aura, who doesn't want to protect it? Who is not confused when they see it? The second is "tenacity", although women in Korean movies are often oppressed and weak, their souls are usually very tough, and they often return like the goddess of vengeance, not hesitating to use self-torture to take revenge on men, at this time Tang Wei's stubborn and feminine literary temperament can fit this state; Finally, "beauty", beauty and sexiness are particularly important for women in Korean films, and the Korean film and television industry has much stricter requirements for actresses to have "femininity", which you need not say! It just so happens that Tang Wei debuted as Wang Jiazhi, it can be said that she stood at the apex of the track at the beginning, no one will doubt her charm in this regard, even in South Korea she is also a well-deserved goddess, and there is no pressure to crush a group of local actors.
Finally, although I don't want to admit it, this is a fact, she is married, her husband is Korean, isn't it half a Korean when she marries?
The time and place are right, and it is difficult for Tang Wei not to be popular in Korea!
