At that time, Tang Wei was famous for his performance in Lust, Caution directed by Ang Lee. In fact, behind the performance of this film, Tang Wei made great efforts. A careful audience may observe a detail. In the movie, Tang Wei had thick armpit hair and didn't shave at all. This is Ang Lee's request, and he thinks it is in line with the female figures of that era. "I think it's sexy to have armpit hair and I'm happy to show it off." Ang Lee said.

Therefore, Tang Wei, who has never had armpit hair, stayed for this role for eight months. Tang Wei wears sleeveless cheongsam in the film, and the armpit hair can be clearly seen with a slight swing of his arm. This has also become a major attraction of Tang Wei.

Why did Ang Lee choose Tang Wei as the heroine?

It is said that Liu Yifei was invited to play this film, and Liu Yifei flatly refused! Tang Wei is an unknown actress. After she found Tang Wei in Ang Lee, there was no script. In fact, she has just been dictating the story. Tang Wei thought that if she could cooperate with Tony Leung Chiu Wai, the best actor, and Ang Lee, the great director, she would benefit a lot and make rapid progress, so she took the play. Tang Wei did not regret playing the role of Wang Jiazhi.

I think Tang Wei's choice is very successful. After all, Tang Wei is beautiful enough and hardworking enough. Perfect figure, tall and thin, cheongsam skirt is simply amazing. As we all know, Lust, Caution is so large that big-name movie stars are actually reluctant to participate. The first-line big coffee has already gained enough fame, and it will only lose face if it is taken off.

For Tang Wei, who was not famous at that time, his fame will greatly increase through this film. Although there are some sacrifices, it can also be said to be an equivalent exchange. Like Shu Qi, Zhang Simin and Chingmy Yau, the same is true. Besides, even if they participate in the program, they may not be able to make a splash!

Ang Lee's fancy is that Tang Wei's green feeling is a blank sheet of paper, and director Ang Lee can splash ink at will, without any rules and regulations, which is highly plastic. Xiao Bai, who is also a film studio, fits the idea of director Ang Lee very well, and finally decides that Tang Wei is the best candidate for Wang Jiazhi. Later proved the original vision of director Ang Lee. Tang Wei lived up to expectations and successfully played the most important role in the movie Lust, Caution. And single-handedly acted as the heroine Wang Jiazhi's difficult movements, and carried out a series of violent ideological fluctuations. Worthy of the comprehensive quality of filmmakers, he is one of the rare good actors in recent years!

Ang Lee chose Tang Wei as the heroine of Lust, Caution, probably because Tang Wei's temperament is close to Wang Jiazhi's. The heroine decided Tang Wei, who had never even been on the real big screen at that time, and Ang Lee probably took a fancy to Tang Wei, a newcomer to the film. Ang Lee explained: "Her eyes are clean and she doesn't have much desire, just like our parents." Ang Lee once said in an interview program that Tang Wei was chosen to play the heroine because she had feelings for Tang Wei and felt that she was very close to the characters in the original.

When Ang Lee cast Lust, Caution, the requirements for the heroine Wang Jiazhi were: age 19-23 years old, height 164- 168cm, devil figure, extraordinary intelligence and elegant and classical temperament. Tang Wei was actually 27 years old at that time, but Ang Lee decided to use this strange face. Because he thinks that although Tang Wei is not a beauty in the traditional sense, she has a good temperament. What matters is her nervousness and anxiety.

Many people who have seen the film think that Tang Wei has been performing nervously.

But Ang Lee said that Wang Jiazhi was playing someone else, so she should be nervous. So her nervousness is right, which other famous actresses can't do. They can only be nervous. Ang Lee once said that maybe you will get a lot of criticism after making a movie, so you must think it over.

Sure enough, the film banned her for a while, but she was not affected at all, and went abroad to study and enrich herself. Finally, with Beijing meeting Seattle to create a box office miracle of love movies, the king returned.
