Urban Romance - Chapter 487: Wei Jie's Favor

Is Tang Wei beautiful or not? It's probably a difficult question to answer definitively. For example, Hong Kong director Wong Jing said she wasn't pretty, her figure was odd, and only under Ang Lee's direction could she have any appeal. Her friend, Yuan Hong, the theater planner who brought her into the theater world, said that Tang Wei can be beautiful if she wants to; she can stand out in a crowd if she wants to. But if she wants to be low-key, she's not particularly noticeable. Tang Wei's senior, theater director Yang Ting, still thinks she's very beautiful, even asking her why she didn't study acting. In fact, when Tang Wei first auditioned for acting school, the examiners thought her appearance wasn't special enough and not suitable for acting. Whether this was the key factor or not, Tang Wei failed her first audition and subsequently auditioned twice more. Therefore, Tang Wei's rise to fame has a lot of element of chance.
However, if you were to ask Li Weijie whether Tang Wei is pretty or not, any man in the same elevator as her would definitely say that Tang Wei is very beautiful and has a lot of feminine charm.
The elevator was reserved for hotel VIP guests. Li Weijie was only able to use it because of the beautiful manager, Bai Jie; otherwise, he wouldn't be qualified to use it. The two bodyguards didn't go upstairs with Tang Wei. Although they also stayed at the hotel, they were in rooms accessible by the regular elevator. The hotel had a high level of security, and Tang Wei didn't really want anyone following her around all the time. She wouldn't bother with that when she was out, for safety reasons, but in the hotel, she preferred to be alone if possible.
Although many people criticize Tang Wei for not having delicate features and not being as pretty as Taiwanese actress Zhu Zhiying, the second candidate for the female lead in "Lust, Caution," no one can deny her unique temperament. Li Weijie looked at Tang Wei and found that her facial features were peaceful and elegant. Just as the American magazine publisher commented: "Her face is a very pure Asian face. I think this is the kind of beautiful face that many people want to pursue. Although there are other stars who are more famous than Tang Wei, they are not as pure as we imagine."
"Ms. Tang, I really enjoyed the movie 'Lust, Caution' in which you starred."
Li Weijie took the initiative to strike up a conversation. He felt that the two of them didn't seem to have much in common, so he looked for a breakthrough in the controversial film "Lust, Caution" starring Tang Wei. "I personally think this is a rare masterpiece in China, but it's a pity that some people in the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television seem to be making a mountain out of a molehill and using it as an excuse to stir up trouble."
When "Lust, Caution" was first released, Li Weijie was still in university. Tickets were incredibly hard to come by, and he went to great lengths to extort two premiere tickets from Ma Kai. Although the main cast and crew weren't present, Li Weijie was still completely engrossed in the film, especially the several sex scenes between Tang Wei and Tony Leung. If you were to ask Li Weijie what impressed him most about Tang Wei, anyone who's seen "Lust, Caution" would know it's her enormous nipples. Li Weijie had never seen a woman's nipples so large; they were truly astounding!
Li Weijie clearly remembers that after watching the movie, burning with desire, he dragged Lin Yixin back to their apartment in a hurry. If Lin Yixin hadn't stopped him, Li Weijie definitely wouldn't have waited to go home and would have gone straight to a hotel. Back home, as soon as they closed the door, Li Weijie and Lin Yixin kissed passionately, their love intense and lingering. The usually gentle Li Weijie, contrary to his usual behavior, used violence to tear Lin Yixin's new dress that she had just bought the previous week, even ripping her stockings and underwear. That night, they made love five times. They also tried many difficult positions, whereas usually they would only change one or two positions, but that day they constantly changed positions, making love continuously. Li Weijie even tried to position Lin Yixin in the high-difficulty positions that Tang Wei and Tony Leung had performed in the movie. One of them practiced martial arts (Taekwondo and Chinese martial arts), and the other practiced dance (ballet and yoga). Although the poses in the movie were quite difficult, they were no challenge for them. In the end, the two fell asleep in each other's arms, leaving the bed a mess. They were both drenched in sweat, but too exhausted to even clean themselves. They simply drifted off to sleep and skipped class the next day.
After watching that movie, Li Weijie fell in love with Tang Wei. At the time, it was just a simple liking, the kind of fangirling. He started following information about Tang Wei. However, on March 5, 2008, various television stations received a phone order from the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television of China, prohibiting any form of publicity for Tang Wei, including airing advertisements she endorsed, and requiring them to handle the matter discreetly. This news was only indirectly confirmed by the authorities on March 11 when a Taiwanese reporter sought confirmation from Zhang Haitao, the deputy director of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, at the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. Zhang Haitao stated, "This policy is about the issue, not the person."
Zhang Haitao did not respond to the specific reasons for the ban. Later, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television explained that it was because Tang Wei gained fame through her nude scenes in "Lust, Caution" (2007), and that young people might imitate her, causing a negative influence. However, analysts believe the real reason for the ban was that "Lust, Caution" seriously violated the official ideological standards of the Chinese Communist Party. Media reports later confirmed that Tang Wei was completely banned because some government officials who watched "Lust, Caution" felt "very disliked" it. There were also reports that a high-ranking official, after watching the film, strongly criticized it for glorifying traitors and insulting patriotic martyrs, calling it "an extremely poor, low-class film; the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television's decision to allow it to be shown in mainland China was a mistake." "What do you think about this?"
Tang Wei asked casually. After filming began for "Lust, Caution," she deactivated her phone number, making it difficult for many to contact her. Therefore, she rarely discusses the matter with others. This was merely a polite, casual question; she didn't believe Li Weijie could possibly have any opinion on it.
"Ms. Tang, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television's controversial 'ban' has affected your participation in film and television work. The direct impact is that it has prevented you from smoothly accepting film contracts, and your acting career has come to a complete standstill throughout 2008. You worked so hard to play that role well. After the film was released, you won the 'Best New Performer Award' at the 44th Golden Horse Awards; the 'Best New Performer Award' at the 4th Asian Walker Film Awards; the 'Top Ten Most Watched Actors Award' at the 11th Hollywood Awards; and were named Best Actress of the Year by Los An Geles magazine. Don't these awards speak for themselves? Moreover, from a legal perspective, this 'ban' violates the spirit of the rule of law. It's practically the 'Sun Zhigang incident' of the cultural circle. I think those old fogies at the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television should liberate their thinking, abolish these management methods that deprive citizens of their rights, change the art management system, and truly build an institutional environment that is conducive to the freedom of artistic creation."
Li Weijie grew increasingly indignant as he spoke, as if it were a matter of deep-seated hatred. He had always disliked officials, "and unlike the previous methods of blacklisting directors and producers, this time the blacklist was used directly as a warning to the actors, forcing them to self-censor when accepting roles and not dare to appear in films that conflict with the propaganda ideology. But they didn't blacklist director Ang Lee. Hmph, isn't it because Ang Lee was the artistic advisor for the Beijing Olympics and is known as the 'Pride of Taiwan'? They didn't want to lose Ang Lee after Steven Spielberg resigned as the artistic advisor for the Beijing Olympics. At the same time, they didn't want to give the DPP an opportunity to attack by punishing Ang Lee. As for the producer, Tony Leung, and other main cast members, they are not mainland actors, so they were spared punishment."
Li Weijie's words seemed to touch a chord in Tang Wei's heart. Filming for *Lust, Caution* began in September, and of the 118 days of shooting, 114 were dedicated to Tang Wei. Ang Lee placed the entire film's success on Tang Wei, and naturally treated her extremely strictly. Tang Wei's most difficult shoot involved 36 or 37 takes (NG is a term used in film and television to indicate that a shot was not to the director's satisfaction and needed to be reshot). During the eight months of filming, she cried and felt lost.
"Forget it, it's all in the past."
Tang Wei shook her head, sighed softly, and looked at Li Weijie with a much gentler gaze than before. "Just call me Sister Wei! You know my name, but I don't know yours yet!"
Seeing that his roundabout strategy had succeeded, Li Weijie couldn't help but laugh inwardly, but on the surface he pretended to be shocked and quickly introduced himself: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was just too excited to see Sister Wei, hehe, I am Li Weijie, the investment and credit manager of Tianfeng Group Investment Company."
He elevated his status from assistant general manager to manager. In fact, given Shen Monong's appreciation (or rather, fondness) of him and his abilities, becoming a manager was only a matter of time.
The grueling training of the past has brought her flowers and applause today, yet Tang Wei remains as confident and serene as ever. She smiled and took the initiative to shake hands with him.
Li Weijie felt that Tang Wei's hands were soft and smooth, and his whole body felt like it was being electrocuted when he touched them.
He looked at Tang Wei up close. Her cherry lips, delicate nose, willow eyebrows, almond eyes, and peach-blossom cheeks, along with her large, clear, dark eyes, soft, full red lips, and her delicate, petite nose, all set against her beautiful, pure, quiet, and elegant face, made her a stunning beauty. Her beautifully smooth cheeks and flawless, rosy complexion made her a truly breathtaking woman.
The fashionable dress, high-end and luxurious yet perfectly fitting, beautifully accentuated her mature and voluptuous figure. Her smooth, rounded shoulders and slender waist were exquisite. Her rounded, pert buttocks and long, straight legs were all alluring. Her long, flowing hair cascaded over her shoulders, and the deep cleavage beneath her dress was subtly revealed. Her full breasts stood proudly high, and her entire body, like ripe fruit, exuded a captivating allure, displaying an elegant and pampered demeanor.
Tang Wei noticed Li Weijie's intense gaze, and a blush crept onto her fair face. She asked softly, "What? Is there something on my face?"
"No, no!"
Li Weijie waved his hands repeatedly, feeling extremely embarrassed, his face turning red. He forced a lie, saying, "Sister Wei, although you've been released from quarantine and returned to work, you've missed out on starring in many movies! I'm just trying to see you more now to make up for some of those regrets."
His face actually turned red! Judging from his confident demeanor just now, he didn't seem like someone who blushed easily! Tang Wei couldn't help but laugh; such a pure-hearted man was truly rare! However, Li Weijie's words did resonate with Tang Wei. She had made a strong comeback, starring in several films, but those missed opportunities could never be recovered. For example, Gu Changwei's new film *Shangri-La* had initially considered her as the female lead, but due to the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television's ban, it ultimately fell through. Gu Changwei publicly explained that the script was still in development and refinement, so there was no question of abandoning her role. Tian Zhuangzhuang's fantasy film *The Wolf Warrior* also invited her to star. In May, she even participated in Cannes promotional events with executives from Edko Films, the film's investors. However, Maggie Q ultimately replaced her as the female lead. Furthermore, director Zhang Zhiliang's *Thangka* also intended to cast her as a female martial arts fighter, possibly alongside Andy Lau, but this was not finalized until the end of 2008.
