Tang wei interview

[ZOEWUWUANGIE]

中国人就要讲 中文！！

[bobchewaing]

Amazing, absolutely amazing. Miss Tang English is significantly better than章子怡. Also much better than a lot of university students studying in North America. Keep up the good work ! We are very proud of you, be proud being a Chinese actor and never acts like a wannabe like 章子怡.

[theRealAnonymousRain]

This is not a racist comment, but she sounds EXACTLY like the lady who answers the phone at my local Chinese takeaway. It's so soft lol.

[Lu199019]

well ~ all of them are chinese people， you can not required so much~

[petrucci15]

i thought tang wei was an american asian?! hmm

[stillstella]

@petrucci15 no....100% chinese born&grown

[duinay2]

wow - Tony Leung is so lucky - he gets paid to have sex with Tang Wei - lol. I think I will start acting now. But actually, I think Ang Lee does not need to film them having real sex because it's just a movie and not a porno - I think Ang Lee is a perverted, old man who ruined poor Tang Wei's career. She would have done better without him.

[duinay2]

Poor Tang Wei got "Black Listed" in China's Film Industry for doing a good job in "Lust Caution". Ang Lee should try to put more effort to help her get her career going here in the US, because China's Film Industry is like an immature brat. I wonder why Tony Leung didn't get Black Listed for playing a Traitor to China? Hang in there Tang Wei.

[thedickycheung]

@duinay2 do you know why tang wei get black listed? the sex scene with tony leung was real at lust caution the movie so the china flim industry think that it a shame and some more i didn't know i did'nt really check about that what i know

[tom89zigman]

@duinay2 I totally agree with you. It isn't right for China's Film Industry to blacklist Tang Wei. She gave a great performance in that movie and I hope her career will survive.

[coldeartiger]

好靚女, 有氣質.... ~唔似一般既大陸妹.... eg. 范冰冰......

[Cujo19760210]

@coldeartiger 另一個是高圓圓!!!

[pommeying]

有一点如果真的如你所说大陆的影视圈是富商高官操作的话，梁朝伟­和李安又算得了什么？再说了什么叫得罪，现在很多华语片包括香港­的电影都是内地出资的，得罪的后果是什么？ 可是你有看到这样的情况吗？也不说说香港的电影都是黑社会掌控的­，之前有刘嘉玲，刘德华的事件让我们这里都看着心惊胆战，更不用­说香港选美了，一溜大饼脸都能做港姐只要后台硬。演戏是一件 技巧活，学过和没学过还是有区别，在内地北京上海等地戏剧学院每­年多少毕业生，像汤唯那样扔在里面都看不到。汤已经30多岁了才­出名不久，汤唯很多学弟学妹获奖的都很多，所以演戏还是靠实力根­本不讲 论资排辈的。你说的这些好像都是很久前发生的，我在国外住了10­年了消息还比你灵通，你那些破烂也该更新一下了不要说出来就让人­觉得陈年往事那种感觉。

[pommeying]

not surprised she could speak a bit english, she had trained in england, and she have been living in hk for awhile. For an actress, the first job is not language, only langugae could help her gain the opportunities abroad, but till now, none of any asian actors or actress could be well accepted in the western countries.

[klsuperman]

想不到大陸親手把這顆讚石丟出家門，香港就把她珍而重之收起來。­現在她已經擁有香港身份證成為真正香港人。

大陸你吃屎吧！

[pommeying]

@klsuperman 在国内像汤唯这样的人多去了，很多在话剧团的演员功底都很深厚，­但是真要问谁会去演色戒，恐怕没人会真能豁出去。香港对汤来说不­会是长久之地，她很聪明，知道自己在什么阶段做什么事情，她申请­香港身份证的时候就是在色戒拿了奖被内地禁后，所以那个时候去香­港是她唯一的出路。 国内这里对她无所谓人实在太多了，香港就不一样了。

[klsuperman]

@pommeying

那當然，因為大陸影圈的潛規則就是要論資排輩，要不是就是某某高­官富商的親戚子弟才會受到重視，像湯唯這類沒背景沒靠山唯一擁有­的就是實力和勇氣的演員，出走香港確是她明智之舉，不論將來香港­這個地方能否留得住這個寶，中國大陸不論政圈與娛樂圈唯我獨尊又­欺善怕惡的面貌是不爭的事實，否則當時拍《色戒》要封殺的就不是­湯唯，而是梁朝偉和李安了，他們得罪得起嗎

[kfki]

her english has drastically improved in her latest interview in wu shaw 2011! she went to the u.k for studying which shows in the interview with her uk accent!

[wkchan27]

湯唯不美，但氣質出眾，很有知性美。你看她說話慢條斯理，你會感­覺她是一個心思很細密的女生。聽說她拍罷色戒後被封殺後到英國進­修，後來因旅費不足而在街頭賣藝，請注意她放下的不是自尊，她是­尋回自我的價值，有問題便想辦法解決，演員最重要的是不要脫離群­眾和生活，她做到了。我喜歡的女演員不多，一個是張曼玉，一個就­是她。她第一部電影色戒拿了個金馬新人獎，第二部電影月滿軒尼斯­提名了金馬金像女主角，第三部電影晚秋在韓國百想獎捧了個女主角­回來。湯唯，電影世界歡迎你回來，這才是你真正的舞台。

[Rayanna1123]

I agree her English is much better than Zhang Ziyi

[estategioiosa]

@Rayanna1123 Her English is better then your Chinese.

[lauriersroses333]

why do ppl focus on her english ?? stupid guys,go and fuck ur self twice! shes not engilish,english is not her native language !! what wrong with ppl ??? shes talented and beautiful, love her long dark nipps, it so hot, have see lust&caution 3 times :)

[JNagarya]

@lauriersroses333 The focus on her English is because she speaks it so well. Her college major was languages, and she clearly has a continuing focus on it.

So she deserves praise for abilities in language, not racist garbage and smut.

[lauriersroses333]

@JNagarya i agree with u :) i was refereted to ppl who critised her english on my last comment ! tkx for ur comment

[wesscoast]

Holy crap! I'm living in Shanghai and... this girl, on top of being incredibly beautiful, is in the top 1% in English level in China... Wow! She rocks.

[jradetzky]

i wanna marry her

[jeweljellyjolly]

ew.....her English sounds so so Chinese, TERRIBLE! :( GROSS

[jradetzky]

@jeweljellyjolly and so adorable

[sungl0]

@jeweljellyjolly - you must be asian feeling ashamed of sounding asian. stereo type romeo "French suave type" - speaks with strong French accent and many consider it charming( cos its foreign "exotic" to native English speakers- . Its asian complex here. Love your own

[jeweljellyjolly]

@sungl0 OPPS! hold it right there horsie......i ain't no asian =P

[estategioiosa]

@jeweljellyjolly I would like to see you speaking Chinese !!! :)

[Gerkinstock]

Just wonderful.

[chicago2la]

She's very attractive with cute accent for mandarin speaker. Intelligent, beautiful, humble, pragmatic. I wish all chinese girls were like her, haha

[cecijadis]

She's gorgeous. So elegant and has a great attitude.

[linlikai84]

why is everyone learning american english? you should go for aussie english! the best accent!

[lyshyzh]

一个体育生外语能将成这样不错了。。她自己很努力的找机会学很多­。弥补自己文化修养不足的缺陷

体育生有的是毅力 能拼 学起来比谁都用功

多数体育生 小学中年级往后 基本就没上过什么文化课 基本上就是文盲。。

文化课只要求200分 高考总分的4/15 上大学全凭体育加分

汤唯自己也说了 多亏在英国呆了一阵子 报了两个语言班加强练习

[getchaful]

She is so so gorgeous.!! Such a natural beauty!

[TonyTang2008]

他说英语还是有点勉强的，不然不会有这么多剪辑镜头。

[TheSleepyQueen]

she picked up some cantonese accent when speaking english, maybe because of working with tony, haha

[minidee]

@TheSleepyQueen

LOL, nice observation! totally didn't notice til i read your post. she doesn't have the rolling r sound english, that most mandarin english speaker's have.

[princejmye]

i never seen this chick before, any great movies with her?

[SHOKYINS]

her english is better than ziyi.=p

[DonkeyMagnet99]

She was wonderful in Lust Caution - one of the most moving and convincing performances I've seen in a long while, and a superb movie too

[MayadIdub]

she was AWSOME in the movie.

[xolloy01]

dayum, Asian women are so hot and they don't age,

they look young and sweet for a lifetime.

why don't they like Blackmen?

[DonkeyMagnet99]

@xolloy01 LOL

well some of them do - my gf is Japanese FYI and I couldnt be happier !

(and your first 2 statements are so true which Im very pleased to confirm)

[xolloy01]

@DonkeyMagnet99 oh cool bro, so you're black too?

my gurl is Korean and god i love her so much.

yeah i kno right? i grew up with pretty much all Korean Americans in my neighborhood and they're so nice. You befriend them, their love remains for a lifetime.

[DonkeyMagnet99]

@xolloy01 Korean ?? !!..............now THAT is interesting ! stereotypically, along with the Chinese, the Koreans are supposed to be the MOST racist towards black people and the most resistant towards their daughter dating a black guy. This is generally seen as far less of a problem amongst the more accepting/relaxed Japanese.

I'm glad its working out for you & wish you every happiness - did you encounter many problems when you first met her & do you think this negative stereotyping is unfair

[xolloy01]

@DonkeyMagnet99 yes, but not all,

every race got some dickheads, including us blacks who hate whites for the past.

No, they were very welcoming. If you befriend them, they'll remain loyal for a lifetime.

I actually went to Korea and a lot of people gave me the look in public, especially in metro, but when i get to know them, they couldn't be cooler. Bro, i encourage you to be more open minded. and remember, not everyone is perfect. :)

[DonkeyMagnet99]

@xolloy01 well I wasnt saying I agreed with the negative stereotyping - more a case of me being aware of this kind of prejudice from black people towards Koreans/Chinese and being interested in getting a first hand perspective from someone with actual experience - I'm one of the most open minded people you could ever meet and am glad to hear of your mostly positive encounters.

[xolloy01]

@DonkeyMagnet99 oh nice, yeah i mean Chinese look down on pretty much every race (again, stereotype based on my personal experiences). Some Koreans do, but when you get to befriend them, they are the best, they got warm heart and something called "jung" or 정, i believe. I've grown up in the US with basically all Koreans as neighbors, and they're just great people. But yeah, if you're colored, you can expect a bit awkward looks in public.

[KillHimAfterTheParty]

she's intellgent and beautiful!

[20341272]

I adore her elegance and toughness. She represents the new generation chinese actors and actresses.

[lauriersroses333]

@20341272 i love her nipples :) hehe i saw the movie it good movie,but i saw it the second time bcz of her nipples :)

[chillsteri]

her English is much better than Zhang Ziyi

[liuwenjie6678]

@chillsteri Zhang Ziyi is a country pussy,crap...eeerrrr....

[DonkeyMagnet99]

@chillsteri - and a hell of a lot better than your Chinese.......dickhead

[bosk129]

@chillsteri Zhang Ziyi's English is very good. You must have hearing problems.

[imscct]

for someone who was born and raised in china, her english is very good.. can any hollywood actress speak chinese like the way Tang Wei talked about her role in english????? i dont think so

[sheltv100]

In the interview she never mentions the secret of the fact that she really fucked Tony Leung's penis in the sex scenes. It was all acting but people can make more money by doing some things for real in a movie. She was really fucked, that is why she got banned from the PRC

[TIE47v]

@sheltv100 and you were there to see it all yourself?

[TIE47v]

@sheltv100 Tang Wei talked about the love scene "during shooting (the love scene), there was only Tony, herself, Lee Ang, and DP were allowed to be there. Are you that DP?"

[sheltv100]

@TIE47v What is the DP?

[JNagarya]

@sheltv100

None of that happened. Get a life, and GROW UP.

[sheltv100]

@JNagarya Have you seen the movie?

[sheltv100]

@sheltv100 Yes I have. Have you?

[JNagarya]

@sheltv100

Yes, I've seen the movie. And, no: Unlike you I don't impose unfounded views on others. The fact is that you weren't there, so you can only IMAGINE what happened. IMAGINING it does NOT make it true.

[sheltv100]

@JNagarya Unfounded views? I guess you never read the Bible.

[sheltv100]

@JNagarya I believed it happened. Perhaps you wouldn't believe it because you don't know good from evil. Hollywood is a place of moral evil, that is why directors make movies to condone evil. So don't tell me to grow up. I know how to call evil by its right name, so does the Chinese government which is no wonder why they banned Tang Wei for being a slut.

[JNagarya]

@sheltv100

Belief is NOT KNOWLEDGE. So you don't KNOW what happened, because YOU WEREN'T THERE. That being the REALITY, you are failing to distinguish between what is IN YOUR HEAD from OBJECTIVE REALITY which you DID NOT WITNESS.

[sheltv100]

@JNagarya Yeah well perhaps you're right. I am just guessing because Ang Lee and the two actors (like most Northeast Asian people) are dishonest to tell you the truth all thanks to Confuciaism.

[JNagarya]

@sheltv100

SWo you're not only foul-mouthed but also a racist. And a bigot who "knows" what "Northeastern Asian people" are, even though you are again only IMAGINING you know them based upon ignorance of Confusianism, which is irrelevant to the issue.

[JNagarya]

@sheltv100 I doubt you've met "most Northeast Asian people". So yet again you are substituting hateful fantasy for KNOWLEDGE.

[sheltv100]

@JNagarya Are you Asian?

[JNagarya]

@sheltv100

That's quite a foul mouth you have for a so-called Christian.

[teddyruxpin27]

I live in China, I understand the Chinese psyche very well.

[katydid41]

Wei was the scapegoat target of arrogant old men who run the Chinese government. Tony Leung was in the same "dirty" scenes as Wei but only she was held responsible.

As an actor, Wei was doing the job as Ang Lee demanded. She was just doing her job.

The sexist misognyy of the PRC government is so obvious and transparent in their treatment of this lovely and talented young woman.

Her English is just fine btw... a lot better than my Chinese. (I am American)

[max69ng]

She is cute. I love her accent, those are true, sincere and genuine Chinese accent. Is funny when a French actor speaks with French accent, Idiot Americans will say wow, is so romantic. Americans are full of shit. Americans such a hypocrite. certain race they don't they will bash them. People are living in an age of denial by having a Black president we think there is no more racism.

[argenteuilrocks]

@max69ng It's true what you say about Americans and the illusion of thinking racism wont exist anymore for the fact of having a black president. But what I said about her offering herself away like that is true too. It's still sluty ( and that goes for Sharon Stone too !) , especially since the scenes were real. You're right, she's cute when she's well made up...

[sheltv100]

@max69ng Having a black US president will never eradicate racism. I know because I am a black man myself.

[teddyruxpin27]

Chinese are incredibly immature about sex scenes - she copped an awful backlash..in China people pretend it's obscene, though huge numbers of husbands have prostitutes and mistresses.

[argenteuilrocks]

@teddyruxpin27 It's not about being immature. They were just easily offended. Remember China is Communist. It's all about culture differences. Respect them. It doesnt matter if ppl there have sex every second with everyone, it doesnt mean that everyone should be OK with sex displayed so openly in mainstream movies. I'm open about about sex in movies but I wouldnt watch that in front of my parents. Especially since the scenes were real, it was like some kind of porn...

[sheltv100]

@argenteuilrocks We can prove that the sex scenes in Lust Caution between Tang Wei and Tony Leung were real. Surely I never saw her pussy, only the pubic hairs. In the last sex scene I saw a little bit of Leung's penis going in her pussy, but there was too much darkness to see it clearly. In that last scene his testicles were shown under Tang Wei's ass when she was riding his penis. That is an indication on the film to prove it was real sex. Plus they were both naked on a closed set.

[sheltv100]

Tang Wei should have been honest about the sex scenes in Lust Caution. She really fucked Tony Leung's penis. That is why she was banned in mainland China.

[Chapboy1989]

brilliant

[skywalkbobafett]

好靚亞

[soyabeanoh]

Her english, is surprisingly fluent. Considering all the dialects she used in the film, I now think she's a linguistic genius.

[shazzqsong]

There was a lot of backlash in China for her part in the film. She was brave to go for the scenes she did.

[argenteuilrocks]

Yes, she's brave but I believe she went through with the scenes bcoz she thought she would be a big star after that. It's her first big feature movie. Knowing Tony Leung and Ang Lee were involved in this movie, she went for the sex scenes. She was an unknown actress. So it's kind of slutty to me. This is also the reason why she was the only one to be banned. She isnt established enough...Anyway actresses are often considered as sluts..

[max69ng]

@argenteuilrocks Well, tell that to Sharon Stone!

[sheltv100]

@argenteuilrocks That's right, most Actresses like Wei are sluts.

[orionpirates]

I wish Tang Wei can become a rich man's wife and live happilly ever after.

[khmerkic]

Why so ?

[mattosa987]

to be honest...rich people very often are very sad believe me money is important "thing" but its not most imortant thing in life and you cant be sure that you will be happy when youll have money its nice to be rich but its better to be happy!!!!

[orionpirates]

You're dead wrong. My university professor teaches us that money is the most important thing in the world. Macro economics.

[mattosa987]

To be honest sorry to hear that in my opinion he is a "economic freak" and he have some problems with understanding whats really important in life he is a proffesor so he love too much economy I suppose.

[ncflagman]

Saw the movie Lust Caution and Wei Tang was really good in her role. I'll need to see if I can find some other films that she has done. She is an exceptionally attractive actress.

[alexisonfire01]

ugly

[jfang86]

i'd hit it

[cougher989]

who wouldn't

[sansanaye1]

she is beautiful ,her english is good. not too chinese like

[mattingly17]

we like her dirty pussy, smells so good!

[KaizerDraco]

watch and learn,

the power of chinglish,

jokin...

ok looking but flat.....

...good actress indeed

[mattingly17]

ur right it is chinglish.

fine for communication, we can understand of course.

but chingrish non-theless.

[KaizerDraco]

indeed

[thirty6min]

Her English is amazingly good for a Chinese girl educated in China.

[lcinlove]

@thirty6min hey. not at all~u can't said that. almost hk's chinese better than her.thanks:)

[Gunnarsas]

Destroyed her career. Lust Caution was her first film if it wasn´t for it she wouldn´t have a career.

[peapoo3]

汤眯眯

[seedofbilly]

Didn't hear a word of that, not because of bad english, too busy mentally undressing her (in a sexier way than in Lust, Caution)

[BrusselsSouth]

Nice young lady, good attitude, good personality and not bad English at all. I like her. I really like her.

[SCARAFCE16]

realy really lol

[xiao88887777]

I like her~~she is a pretty woman with unique a temperament ...though she made some grammar mistakes here,i do believe her english is much better than ziyi zhang

[futureshiningstar]

A beautiful woman. Wonderful actress. It's sad she destroyed her career before it started.

[aivyelisa]

thats true Q_Q !

[4ppledr0pz]

how did she destroy her career?

[lovona09]

@4ppledr0pz by doing a full nude adult rate movie, she was banned by China

[Chintzechuen]

@lovona09

There is a hidden agenda behind it.  I don't believe she was banned because of the nude content of the movie. It's more of a political reason and the target is An Lee. She was unfortunately caught in between.

[lovona09]

@Chintzechuen but u have to admitted the nude thing is part of it! Btw she and an lee are both from Taiwan right?

[Chintzechuen]

@lovona09

That's just the excuse used by China government.

An Lee was from Taiwan and she was from China. That's why China can punish her. Besides, An Lee is a US citizen and intenational celebrity. She is a new comer and basically defenseless. An easy target.

[lovona09]

@Chintzechuen well anyway she is staring a new movie with singer Jacky Chang, i don't think there'll be nude sence in that movie.

[sheltv100]

@lovona09 Wei is from mainland China. Ang Lee is from here in Taiwan.

[lovona09]

@sheltv100 not wonder they got banned from China?

[sheltv100]

@lovona09 They? Ang Lee is Taiwanese. Tang Wei was the one banned from her own country. Politically, China considers Taiwan as its territory but Taiwan is under the R.O.C. government, not the Peoples Republic of China government. But if that is the case, do you think Ang Lee is banned from China because China claims sovereignty over Taiwan?

[lovona09]

@sheltv100 Wat is ROC? All i know is Taiwan and China they don't get along with each other that's true!!

[sheltv100]

@lovona09 ROC is Republic of China, the democratic government founded by Sun Yat Sen in 1911. It used to be located in mainland China, and after the Japanese gave back Taiwan to China at the end of WWII, a civil war broke out between Mao and the Communist Party and the Nationalists. The Communists seized China and the ROC took refuge here in Taiwan. The US is giving Taiwan heavy artilery to guard against the Peoples Republic of China.

[yupper99]

@sheltv100 Geez...get a grip and take your medicine.

[MrDirector]

She is such a great actress and beautiful. And to the idiot that says "she's trying too hard" I would love to hear you speak Chinese.

[bateau529]

she's trying too hard...don't like her...all she does are "and"s...

[2008MUIS]

bravo^^

[nickyandtiffany]

pretty good english

[DiorChick223]

she looks so young for her age

[freshflapjax]

Her acting ability and beauty reminds me of GONG LI!!!! I really hope she continues to do well.

[houtakiboy]

Tang Wei was wonderful in Lust Caution. I just finished watching the movie and am now googling for info on her. She has the potential to be a really great actress.

[twiggy168]

She has better english than zhang zhi yi

[seriescatcher]

TangWei speaks better english than ZhangZhiYi. She can be much more famous in hollywood nxt time thank ZhangZhiYi....in comparison of age, initiative and communication.

[videonerd82]

i like her

[fifi87820]

her english is quite good considering her background

[magnumsandrock]

i like the way she speaks and she seems really cute :)

[grandmasterbatorD]

I loved how she said only DP was allowed there too ....

[yupper99]

I don't think she meant that "DP" :)

[rainbowbabe]

What's DP? She speaks very good English for someone from China!! :D

[kenki17]

i think DP means director of photography

[chickletta]

Please, stop berating people for their accents! For Pete's sake: they are not native speakers. Only people who can speak only English (and wouldn't dream of trying to learn another language and wouldn't know a thing about how difficult it is to be fluent and sound native-like) would post stupid commetns like these.

[yupper99]

some people who can only speak english are incredibly insecure about their inadequacies, so they try and mask that by rediculing other people's "accents."

[lordangelic]

yeap....to those people who keep ridiculing her about her accents...try speaking in languages other than English...like Chinese? Let's see who gets the last laugh

[schildkroet]

ahahah yes thats right :) im with you!!!

[martincheung123]

@chickletta She is so great in speaking in front of the camera. I think we would rather appreciate her courage. Bravo!

[MayadIdub]

@chickletta agree with u. im glad that my accent is not very strong though english is my third language. my second is mandarin, but my accent in mandarin is so bad n seriously, it makes me feel uncomfortable when a chinese doesnt understand what im saying or trying to imitate my accent. thatz annoying.

[rechi65]

She is cute! very cute girl.

[jayr545]

Oh my, she so pretty!!!

[palladiomc]

In China, ppl are taught british english in schools and american on TV. Thats where the unique accent is from.

[RODER1CK]

Tasty.

[sugilee0322]

i didn't expect her english is so good, compare with zhang ziyi , zhangziyi spent couple years to be there

[sayamk]

yeah, I think zhang ziyi is alot hopeless than her.

Tang wei just need little more time, maybe she can do better in hollywood.

[schildkroet]

i think she should stay where she is because hollywood doesn't deserve a so good actress as her :)

[Congo4life]

tang wei is the only reason you want to watch lust caution more than once

[EvilDoer35]

awesome performance - awesome movie. she is a fantastic actress.

[ShutterBug717]

I can't believe people are actually talking about her accent?! WTF. Her 1st language is Chinese people!!!

[lyw4u2005]

Much better than ZhangZiyi. Definitely a hard worker.

[dshchi]

FYI. It is not her fault because schools in China only teach British English.

[kathl85]

What other accent is she suppose to try to speak in? lol, would you rather for her to attempt a British accent?

[laceylingerie]

vancat99: what the fuck are you retarded?
