Maybe every man has had two women like that, at least two.
Married to a red rose, over time, the red changed a touch of mosquito blood on the wall, and the white one was still "bright moonlight in front of the window";
Married to a white rose, the white is a rice stick on the clothes, and the red is a cinnabar mole on the mouth of the heart.
--- Zhang Ailing's "Color Ring"
Some people say that Ang Lee's "Color Ring" changed the spirit of Zhang Ailing's original work, but in fact, Ang Lee's creation is a sublimation of Zhang Ailing's works, which is the height of standing on the shoulders of giants.
Look closely at Zhang Ailing's works, each of them is extremely lively and lively by her writing, but if you think about it, the characters written in her pen are so ordinary and ordinary.
Just as Eve loved Adam, ordinary and simple.
When Ang Lee first filmed "Color Ring", it was this simple, ordinary temperament on Tang Wei's body.
To tell the truth, the success of this film is inseparable from Tang Wei's acting skills, and she successfully created the role of "Wang Jiazhi", which can be called the true color.
Although the work of "Color Ring" made Tang the only one to become famous, the consequent negative impact made her suffer a great blow, and even fell to a low point just after reaching the peak.
During that time, she experienced the joy of becoming famous, but she also felt the helplessness after "banning", and the huge sense of gap made her overwhelmed.
And all this was seen by Ang Lee.
I have to say that Ang Lee is a visionary director, and when filming "Color Ring", he already realized that it would have a great impact on the heroine, because at that time, Tang Wei was still a newcomer and could not bear all this.
In order to prevent trouble before it happens, When Ang Lee determined that Tang Wei would play, he had already prepared for the worst for Tang Wei, and then paved the way for her.
Sure enough, in the end, Tang Wei's "end" was anticipated by Li An, and then, he recognized Tang Wei as his dry daughter and entrusted her to his friend Jiang Zhiqiang, for a long time, Tang Wei was the only artist in Anle Company.
Tang Wei's later career path went relatively smoothly, that is, Jiang Zhiqiang helped in the back.
Later, Ang Lee also arranged for Tang Wei to go abroad for further study, and it just so happened that Tang Wei also took this opportunity to adjust his state and precipitate his acting skills.
In fact, when Ang Lee was preparing to shoot "Color Ring", his requirements for the heroine were two points, which must be met at the same time.
The first point: must be beautiful enough, and the characters are in line;
The second point: be willing to take off, so that it is natural and smooth.
These two conditions, when I first auditioned, were very clear.
The so-called wisher is hooked, and if he can't accept it, he won't die at all.
At that time, Ang Lee was very famous and once won the Oscar for best director, so his works were very authoritative.
Being a heroine in Ang Lee's work is something that many people can't ask for.
When Ang Lee announced that he would choose the heroine of his work, he also identified several candidates, in order to avoid choosing the right actor.
At that time, Zhang Ziyi really wanted to get this role, because she knew what playing Ang Lee would bring her.
At that time, Ang Lee also recognized Zhang Ziyi, she was in good shape, beautiful, wearing a cheongsam was also very good-looking, and her key acting skills were also good.
But Ang Lee did not decide to use Zhang Ziyi, because Ang Lee believed: "Zhang Ziyi is not like the kind of person who will have a story." This means that Zhang Ziyi is too smart to be like a stupid woman like Wang Jiazhi, and her temperament is not like that.
However, after a long period of screening, Ang Lee did not like anyone, and also said a sentence: "If there is no suitable one, use Zhang Ziyi." ”
Big S also had a lot of people pushing Li Ann at that time, because at that time she had two more that were quite suitable for the role of Wang Jiazhi.
First, her face shape is very in line with the character image, that is, the "hexagonal face" written by Zhang Ailing.
Second, Big S does not care much about the off-play, she is more powerful in her heart, calling herself the "Dark Girl", and the off-play image she plays in "Sword Rain" is no less than that of Wang Jiazhi.
In the end, Ang Lee did not use the big S for the same reason as Zhang Ziyi, there was no such silly image.
Zhu Zhiying is the candidate who almost became the heroine, she and Tang Wei competed to the last round, and even the final makeup and Tang Wei were similar.
At that time, Zhu Zhiying was still a newcomer, not a single movie had been filmed, and there was no guarantee of acting skills.
It is said that Ang Lee is also very optimistic about her, hesitating between her and Tang Wei for a long time, and finally felt that Tang Wei only had works, acting skills are OK, and finally chose Tang Wei to play Wang Jiazhi, and let Zhu Zhiying play the most important supporting actress.
In Ang Lee's view, Tang Wei is a very courageous person, doing everything very crisply and sharply, focusing on the fact that she can reflect the obscurity of the character's heart.
As he said, during the filming process, Tang Wei was indeed very open-minded, and every passion scene with Liang Chaowei, she was extra careful.
So much so that in the end, she couldn't get out of the role after filming.
Of course, when it was determined that Tang Wei was the heroine, the female stars who auditioned at the beginning all sent out press releases, saying that they were unwilling to shoot because of the scale, and avoided the embarrassment of not being selected.
In fact, when Ang Lee interviewed for nearly a month, he was already a little disappointed, because Ang Lee at that time was pursuing perfection, and he once thought that the ideal "Wang Jiazhi" did not exist.
Until Tang Wei went to the interview, the moment he pushed the door and entered, let Li An see Wang Jiazhi's shadow.
After that, Ang Lee called Tang Wei and said that he hoped to cooperate with her.
Tang Wei was shocked to hear this news, and did not expect that the director would choose me, but later Tang Wei was also very wandering.
Because Tang Wei was born in an intellectual family, her parents did not agree with Tang Wei's entry into the show business circle, and after entering the show business circle, her parents repeatedly told her not to make naked films.
But when Tang Wei saw the script of "Color Ring", she began to hesitate, she knew that for an actor, this opportunity may be this time in a lifetime, but remembering her parents' words makes it difficult for her to make a decision.
After that, she took the script home with the permission of director Ang Lee, and her parents were silent when they saw the script.
Tang Wei knew that they couldn't stand such a scale, and they couldn't accept it.
But later they also respected Tang Wei's choice, and said to her in a serious tone: "Your choice may bring you a lot of glory, but you will also lose a lot, you just have to think clearly, we have no opinion." ”
In 2007, "Color Ring" won the Golden Lion Award in Venice, and after that, Tang Wei called her parents as soon as possible, choking up and saying: "All the efforts are worth it!" ”
In fact, Tang Wei really suffered a lot in order to shoot "Color Ring", and Tang Wei's evaluation of Ang Lee was: "Ang Lee is polite and easy-going, but the filming is extremely harsh. ”
In just one month, Tang Wei had to train for nearly ten hours a day, and walking with a book in a cheongsam every day could be called devil training.
When Tang Wei stood in front of Li An again, Li An was impressed by Tang Wei's potential and became Li An's ideal Wang Jiazhi in just one month.
After the shooting was even more arduous, "Color Ring" was filmed for a total of 118 days, of which 114 days were filming Tang Wei, because of Ang Lee's harshness, in order to make the characters reach the extreme, Tang Wei's every gesture, look, turn and other details of the problem, must be filmed until Ang Lee is satisfied.
Tang Wei also cried many times because of excessive pressure.
After that, Ang Li also specifically asked Tang Wei: "Do you know why Zhang Ailing's Wang Jiazhi is so sexy?" ”
Tang Wei said, "I don't know." ”
Ang Lee said: "Women with feelings are the sexiest, which is why Wang Jiazhi is so charming." ”
After that, Tang Wei understood the skills, and during the shooting, many staff members regarded her as Wang Jiazhi and said that she was the true color of the cast.
"Color Ring" received unanimous praise after its release, making the soup the only night to explode!
But because of this movie, her boyfriend, who she really loves, broke up with her.
It also fulfilled what her mother said, there are gains and losses!
However, in a later interview, the reporter asked: "Do you regret that "The Color Ring" has had such a big impact? ”
Tang Wei said: "It is not easy for an actor to meet a suitable role in his life, I am so lucky, I have no regrets in this life to play the role of Wang Jiazhi. ”
After so many years, people no longer comment on Tang Wei's fame history, but pay more attention to her acting skills in "Color Ring", because her true color performance makes everyone realize a worldly and sad Zhang Ailing.
