preface
"I just want to put the clothes off back on!" 17 years ago, Tang Wei became an instant hit with "Lust and Caution", and the reason for her popularity was not how wonderful her performance was, but just whether she should dedicate herself to art.
During that time, she was full of controversy, and even the entertainment industry couldn't accommodate her existence, even if she was already famous, she was still at the point where she could be filmed in Wuxi, and at this time she also found that she should have suffered a "soft ban".
The domestic career stagnated, and the helpless Tang Wei switched to Korea, but he did not expect that in just the past three years, he returned to the public's vision again with "Beijing Falls in Love with Seattle", and Feng Xiaogang's words helped her tear off the "fig leaf" of the entertainment industry.
Cheng Ye "Lust Caution", defeat also "Lust Caution"
Since his parents are engaged in art, growing up in such an environment, Tang Wei has not lacked artistic atmosphere since he was a child, although there are many twists and turns, but fortunately, he was admitted to the Central Academy of Arts in 2000.
Before receiving the script of "Lust and Caution", Tang Wei's fame can only be described as unknown, although he was born in a professional class, but because of his "poor appearance and temperament", he has not been able to get any performance opportunities, which Ang Lee once directly singled out.
In 2006, the movie "Lust and Caution" was planned to be filmed, Tang Wei keenly seized this opportunity, and after fierce competition, she finally won the favor of Ang Lee, at this time she didn't know what this drama meant to her.
Sure enough, as soon as "Lust and Caution" was released, it immediately caused an uproar, but the originally very good plot was completely covered up under the rumors of Tony Leung and Tang Wei's "fake drama is really done", and Tang Wei was also nailed to the "pillar of shame" in the entertainment industry.
Tang Wei also knew that her appearance in such a large-scale drama would definitely be criticized to a certain extent, but because she was cooperating with the famous director Ang Lee, and the actor Tony Leung who played opposite her, she couldn't give up this opportunity.
After the movie was released, although Ang Lee and Tony Leung both said that the filming process was just a "sense of reality" created through special angles and light and shadow, for a while, Tang Wei was still labeled as a "star".
You must know that the environment of internal entertainment obviously does not encourage such behavior, so although Tang Wei became famous with this movie, few crew dared to invite her.
In order to keep his career from stagnating, Tang Wei chose to join Hong Kong's "Quality Migrant Admission Scheme" in 2008, thinking that obtaining Hong Kong resident status would give him more freedom in work.
The results are self-evident, the scripts found are still only a handful, in order to make a living Tang Wei had to look for job opportunities on a larger scale, but she did not expect that she received an olive branch from Korea when she had no scenes to shoot in China.
A hard-won romance
When it comes to Tang Wei's relationship, three people have to be mentioned, one is a typical "Ma Bao Man" Zhu Yuchen, one is "Teacher Wang" Tian Yu, who is out of the circle with "Charlotte Troubles", and the other is her current husband Korea director Kim Tae-yong.
Tang Wei and Zhu Yuchen met in the examination room of Chinese opera, and then Zhu Yuchen was fascinated by the smart Tang Wei, it was the age of enthusiasm, under Zhu Yuchen's pursuit, Tang Wei soon fell.
In fact, Zhu Yuchen is not bad to Tang Wei, but what Tang Wei didn't expect is that Zhu Yuchen's mother is not a good person to get along with, no matter how hard she tries, she will never meet her requirements for her daughter-in-law.
The key is that Zhu Yuchen's attitude disappointed her, she didn't expect a young man in his twenties to obey his mother's words and never knew what "resistance" was.
Tang Wei is naturally not a submissive person, under the intervention of Zhu Yuchen's mother, the high temperature of love between the two quickly subsided, and Tang Wei finally chose to evacuate for this love that has no future.
Facts have proved that her choice is right, Zhu Yuchen, who is now 45 years old, is still single under the "protection" of his mother, for which he once cried in the kennel, and has always lived under his mother's suffocating maternal love.
As for the relationship with Tian Yu, it is a bit intriguing, in 2004, the two faked a fake play in a cooperation, and moved their love to reality, and the three-year relationship has actually been quite stable.
But in 2007, which was very important to Tang Wei, this year she not only became popular because of her appearance in "Lust and Caution", but her relationship with Tian Yu also came to an end.
Although there have been rumors in the outside world that Tian Yu chose to break up because he couldn't accept Tang Wei's performance in "Lust and Caution", this news was not confirmed by the two, and they only said that they were in a discordant relationship.
In 2010, the Thai Korea director planned to shoot the movie "Late Autumn", when he was distressed by the heroine of the movie, he accidentally saw Tang Wei's performance, and he was shocked for a moment.
At this time, Tang Wei's career was frustrated and his feelings were at a low point, so after accepting the invitation, he rushed to Korea non-stop, not only starred in the movie "Late Autumn", but also sang the theme song for the movie himself.
At this time, although Tang Wei and Kim Taeyong had a good impression of each other, because Kim Taeyong already had a family, he could only hide this love in his heart.
After the release of "Late Autumn", the public finally removed the colored glasses from Tang Wei and began to pay attention to her performance, and she also got some hard-won opportunities.
But the real turning point came in 2013, when she not only waited for the crucial "Beijing Meets Seattle", but also met Kim Tae-yong again during the shooting of an advertisement in Korea.
If "Beijing Meets Seattle" made Tang Wei's career usher in a new height, then the appearance of Kim Tae-yong made her love affair finally have a home.
It turned out that Kim Tae-yong had secretly agreed to divorce his wife at this time, so when he met Tang Wei again, he no longer hid his emotions in his heart, and the two established a relationship so naturally.
A year later, the two entered the palace of marriage in a high-profile manner, but they didn't expect that in addition to receiving blessings, they also received doubts, and some people even gave her the hat of "little three", but this time someone spoke up for her, he was the famous director Feng Xiaogang.
Inequality in the entertainment industry
In 2015, Tang Wei was invited to star in the movie "Destined" produced by Feng Xiaogang, and in a promotion, Feng Xiaogang publicly expressed his views on the unfair treatment encountered by Tang Wei.
He feels that the reason why Tang Wei will be criticized for everything he does is because his performance in "Lust and Caution" is an unfair thing for an actor who pursues art.
Everyone knows that Feng Xiaogang has always spoken and does not know how to guard the door, so he also said at the press conference why he only banned Tang Wei, and if he had the ability, he would ban Ang Lee and Tony Leung.
In addition to Feng Xiaogang, another person in the entertainment industry who dares to speak the truth has also fought for Tang Wei in the show, she is Jin Xing.
In Jin Xing's view, Tang Wei just played a role, how to act, how to shoot, and what kind of picture to present, it is not up to her to decide alone, her views are the same as Feng Xiaogang, and Tang Wei cannot be blamed for the entire crew.
Maybe Tang Wei himself would not have thought that one day there would be two such well-known bigwigs in the entertainment industry to stand up for him, maybe it would be a sunny day after the rainstorm.
epilogue
After harvesting love, Tang Wei and Kim Taeyong also ushered in their daughters, and the family of three was happy, but there were always some people who couldn't see her well, and it was rumored that the two were suspected of separating and breaking up in three days.
But every time a bad rumor comes out, the two will immediately break the rumor with their loving actions, and today, Tang Wei has been married to Korea for ten years, and she uses a photo to prove to everyone that she has a stable relationship and a happy family, and this is not the simple happiness that Tang only pursues?
