On the night of April 28, there was good news from the entertainment industry again.
According to media reports, at the "Baeksang Art Awards" just held in Seoul, South Korea, Chinese actor Tang Wei won the Baeksang film queen laurel with the movie "Determination to Break Up" and beat many powerful Korean actresses.
It is worth mentioning that this is also the second time that Tang Wei has won the honor of Baeksang Film Queen in South Korea after the 2011 movie "Late Autumn", which is also the first foreign actor in Korean film history and the only one who has been the second film queen.
So far, Tang Wei has won two Baeksang film queens and one blue dragon film queen, and after missing the big bell movie, he has completed the three Grand Prix slams in the Korean film industry.
At the award ceremony, Tang Wei also delivered his acceptance speech in a Chinese way after taking the stage.
Tang Wei said: "In 2001, I followed "Late Autumn" to the stage of Baeksang, another year of the rabbit, a whole round, this time I followed "The Determination to Break Up" and came to the stage of Baeksang, two Korean films, I have walked on this stage, this is too incredible fate, thank you. ”
After the news of Tang Wei's award spread, many netizens left messages in the comment area for the first time, congratulating Tang Wei at the same time, but also couldn't help but sigh.
Some netizens said that Tang Wei deserved it, and some netizens even said that Tang Wei simply made Korean actresses have no "way to live".
Indeed, as a Chinese actor, it is undoubtedly proud to be able to win awards on the stage of the highest honor in other countries and to give speeches in a Chinese way throughout the process.
It's just the same thing, when an actor like Tang Wei won such an honor, combined with her experience, it inevitably makes people feel that perhaps, Tang Wei's success is not only the pride of internal entertainment, but also the sadness of internal entertainment.
Why do you say that? The reason is simple.
"From the beginning, Tang Wei has been "abandoned" too many times."
Tang Wei was born in Hangzhou to a modest family, his father was a famous local painter and his mother was an actor.
Since childhood, Tang Wei has been influenced by her father, and she also aspires to become a painter.
In 1994, Tang Wei graduated from junior high school and was successfully admitted to the most influential May Fourth Middle School in Hangzhou's art circle.
Because of his lively personality, Tang Wei is not only the class leader at school, but also the literary and artistic committee.
At events large and small, Tang Wei often takes on the work of planning and hosting, and once, she also stepped onto the drama stage and tried the taste of acting for the first time.
It was also from then that Tang Wei gradually found that acting was more interesting than painting, so she began to want to be an actress.
Although this idea was strictly denied by her mother, the stubborn Tang Wei still did not change her mind, and after graduating from high school, she enrolled in Hangzhou Zhejiang Academy of Fine Arts and decided to systematically study acting and then enter a more professional college.
However, reality dealt Tang Wei the hardest blow.
In 1997, Tang Wei began to apply for Chinese opera, but since then, she has fallen off the list for three consecutive years.
As for the reason, it was just because the examiner felt that she was not a beauty at first sight, so he gave up on her so easily.
Fortunately, Tang Wei did not succumb to fate.
In the fourth year, Tang Wei curved to save the country and applied for the directing department, and finally was able to successfully enter the Chinese opera.
Since then, in addition to completing her daily schoolwork, Tang Wei used the rest of her time to act in dramas, and she also met the famous director Lai Shengchuan, and laid the groundwork for becoming an actor later.
In 2006, Ang Lee received the script for "Color Ring" and began to look for actors for the film.
Because of Tony Leung's self-recommendation, the actor of this film was quickly determined, but when choosing an actress, Ang Lee began to make difficulties.
At the beginning, Zhang Ziyi participated in the audition, but because of the inconsistency of image and temperament, he was brushed down by Li An.
Li An also approached Liu Yifei and Shu Qi later, but before he could speak, Liu Yifei and Shu Qi refused because of scale.
It was at this time that Tang Wei, who was still Tian Yu's girlfriend at that time, was favored by Li An at a glance because he helped her boyfriend send information to the crew.
Subsequently, Tang Wei was sent by Li An for special training, first going to Shanghai to learn Suzhou Pingping and Mahjong, and then going to Beijing and Hong Kong to learn the walking posture of cheongsam and high heels, learning 10 hours a day.
When he arrived on the set, Tang Wei also entered the role faster than Tony Leung, three major scenes, the two filmed for seven days and seven nights, until the end of shouting "click", including Ang Lee, all three cried at the same time.
At that time, both Tony Leung and Ang Lee thought that Tang Wei had given everything for this play, and she deserved all the recognition.
Subsequently, after the release of the movie, Tang Wei won the 44th Taiwan Film Golden Horse Award for Best New Actor, which also says everything.
However, what changed suddenly was that "Color Ring" was banned because of scale, and Tang Wei, a newcomer, was also banned.
At that time, in the eyes of many people, Tang Wei was just a flashing star, and if it didn't light up, no one would remember.
After that, Tang Wei, whose career was suspended, could only choose to study abroad to prepare for the possibility that he might not see a comeback later.
God seems to have mercy on her, and in 2009, Tang Wei got a shooting opportunity in Hong Kong and collaborated with Jacky Cheung on the movie "Full Moon Hennessy".
With this film, Tang Wei won the Chinese Film Media Award "Queen of Films", but due to personal problems, all scenes in "Party Founding" in which she later participated were cut.
In 2011, Tang Wei was invited by Korean director Kim Tae-yong to star in the movie "Late Autumn", for which she won more than ten Best Actress awards such as the Baeksang Art Award, the Korean Film Critics Award, and the Busan Film Critics Association Award.
It was also after this movie that Tang Wei and Kim Tae-yong formed a different kind of relationship, and the two soon dated and married in 2014.
Since then, Tang Wei has gradually had more opportunities.
She has also filmed many films such as "Wuxia", "Beijing Meets Seattle", "Golden Age" and so on.
In every movie, Tang Wei has done her best, but except for one "Beijing Meets Seattle", the attention and affirmation she has received are becoming rarer.
Tang Wei didn't know why, the only explanation might still not escape the influence of that year.
In this way, the depressed Tang Wei continued to decline in the film industry, and she put down her body and acted in "Da Ming Fenghua" in the TV drama circle.
During this period, she still insisted on filming after suffering from pneumonia three times, but unfortunately, the final broadcast effect was still not good.
It was not until 2018 that Tang Wei was appreciated by a South Korean director, Park Chan-wook, who starred in the movie "Determination to Break Up", which won her numerous awards.
The appearance of this movie not only made Tang Wei truly affirmed by everyone, let the outside world finally see her real acting skills, but also made Tang Wei begin to enjoy international fame.
However, looking around Tang Wei's experience, when she was in domestic entertainment, she also tried her best and contributed her best acting skills, but in the end, the same effort brought a world of difference.
A "Color Ring" made Tang Wei almost ruin his career, while a "Determination to Break Up" can get everything that Tang Wei has never had.
Do you think that such a difference is surprising and ridiculous?
