Growth experience

Art school influence from literary parents

Born in Yueqing, raised in Hangzhou, studied in Beijing, and became internationally famous. Before his fate was changed by Ang Lee, Tang Wei was still an unknown Chinese opera graduate and drama enthusiast, and had acted in some TV series that were not even broadcast on provincial TV stations. Before that, she was just an ordinary vocational high school student majoring in art in Hangzhou. The reporter explored the traces of Tang Wei's study and life in Hangzhou. Based on the sketches of her former agent, teachers from her alma mater, and old neighbors, the reporter imagined the flowering and rainy seasons she spent in this earthly paradise with outstanding people.

A very outgoing personality in childhood

A mature, stable and detached young man

Tang Wei’s old neighbor, Aunt Fu, said that Tang Wei was very polite when he was a child and would call everyone “Auntie” enthusiastically. ", "Grandma", very outgoing personality. Tang Wei's high school art teacher used two "very" words, "Tang Wei is very, very polite. She saw that the teacher was not nervous or scared, but was very calm, and had a very lively personality without going overboard, so it was impressive." "

In 1994, after graduating from the junior high school of Hangzhou No. 14 Middle School, Tang Wei chose Hangzhou May 4th Middle School, which is well-known for its art teaching, preparing to "inherit" the painting talent he inherited from his father. Carry forward. Today, this school has been renamed Hangzhou Art Vocational School and is located at the foot of Fenghuang Mountain, a relatively remote area in Hangzhou.

Unfortunately, Tang Wei’s class teacher Xiao Hong went to a meeting out of town, and the person who received the reporter was her colleague Teacher Zhong. “The school is very low-key about Tang Wei’s affairs. Even if Teacher Xiao is here, she won’t say anything. "After thinking about it, she couldn't help but add, "I heard from Teacher Xiao that Tang Wei used to be the class president and the vice president of the school student union. He was very capable and eloquent. He often changed jobs in hosting, debating, and reciting. He is a very good student leader."

Tang Wei's high school - Hangzhou Art Vocational School (formerly May 4th Middle School)

Due to the high turnover of school teachers in recent years, There are fewer and fewer teachers who recognize Tang Wei. The reporter finally found an art teacher who had taught Tang Wei. Although this teacher Li only took over Tang Wei's class for one month, he was still able to regain his impression of this student from more than ten years ago with great ease in the dust of his memory. "Tang Wei was a girl with outstanding temperament at that time, so I still remember her more than ten years later. If other students had forgotten her," Teacher Li described Tang Wei's behavior as different from other students and more mature than other children. . "At that time, she had already pursued film and television pursuits. In addition to painting, she also spent part of her energy in this area. I had long heard that she would take the acting field in the college entrance examination. She is very talented. It does not mean that she has good basic painting skills, but her personality You can tell whether there is aura or not.

”

Teacher Li’s only regret is that he did not preserve Tang Wei’s paintings, and the only photo of him and Tang Wei is still in Tang Wei’s camera and has not been developed. Who would have thought that this The tall student's "fame" was so "unexpected"

Advertising Girl

Tang Wei's former agent Zhu Ming still cannot remember the first time she met Tang Wei. In the afternoon, 19-year-old Tang Wei accompanied a classmate to his cultural agency for an interview, but it was Tang Wei who was admitted "unintentionally". "Her conditions are very good, she feels very refreshing, sunny and generous. , it will make people’s eyes light up when they meet him. He is carefree and has a boyish personality. Healthy, sunny and energetic, it feels like an athlete. "

In 1998 and 1999, there was no popular artist management contract in China. Zhu Ming was optimistic about Tang Wei and decided to promote her. The two of them only made a verbal agreement like friends, and there was no black and white binding." I think she is a girl who is easy to get along with, and her character is very good. Some people have bad qualities, and it will be difficult for you to cooperate. ”

With Zhu Ming’s connections in the entertainment industry in Zhejiang Province, Tang Wei began to take commercials, “Tang Wei’s advertising volume is still acceptable, but it mainly depends on the customer’s requirements. There are various products. She has shot commercials for home appliances, clothing, and real estate. "Zhu Ming praised Tang Wei's straightforwardness and simplicity, "When we cooperate, the prices between us are transparent. She knows how much each order costs, because I usually take her with me when we discuss advertising. At that time, one person An order of 500 yuan is already considered very high. "Some newcomers are interested in money whenever they have the opportunity, but Tang Wei is not the same. I called her: 'Tang Wei, how much does an advertisement cost? Will you come?' ’ She immediately said, ‘Okay, I’ll come right away. ’ She is a very hard-working and dedicated girl. ”

The student studio in the school.

When Tang Wei graduated from high school, after receiving training at a film and television training class in Hangzhou for a while, he took the Chinese Opera Performance Department exam for three consecutive years. Losing her reputation is undoubtedly a cruel blow to the young dream-seeking girl. “She has really lost her confidence. She is exhausted from doing this all the time, and she is getting no good results after taking exams. '" In order to take the exam, she had to rent a house in Beijing, and the expenses were quite high. She didn't do well in the exam, and she wanted to give up. I said, "I can't blame you. This is a problem with their admissions standards. Do you want to squeeze all the beauties from all over the country?" Take the exam there. "At that time, beauties like Jiang Qinqin and Chen Derong were popular in the acting department of the Academy of Arts. It was not a favorable environment for Tang Wei, who was not a beauty at first sight. After Zhu Ming's persuasion, Tang Wei changed his route and applied for the directing department, and the result was instant success.

Third Examination of Beijing Chinese Opera from 1998 to 2001

Whether Tang Wei is beautiful or not is probably an unclear question. Friends around her take her in. Yuan Hong, a theater planner in the drama circle, said that Tang Wei can be beautiful if she wants to. As long as she wants, she can stand out in a crowd; but if she wants to be low-key, she will not stand out at all in the crowd. Senior Sister Tang Wei, Drama. Director Yang Ting still thought she was beautiful, and even asked her why she didn't take the acting major. In fact, when Tang Wei took the acting major for the first time, the examiner thought her appearance was not special and she was not suitable for being an actor. Is this the key factor? As a result, Tang Wei failed the performance department exam for the first time. Then, she took the exam twice. In the past three years, she rented a bungalow in an alley next to the Central Theater for the convenience of the exam. However, Since she had no stable income (although she could indirectly take on odd jobs such as advertising shoots), she once had no money to pay the rent, so she relied on her friends to help her out.

In her third year, her friend suggested to her. He decided to "save the country" and go to the directing department. After all, the requirements for appearance and other aspects were not so stringent, and he could also learn about acting. Tang Wei took his friend's advice and passed the exam.

In 2002, Tang Wei was already a student in the Department of Directing of Chinese Opera, and she was still a "three good student". She was usually keen on the school's community activities and charity activities. I signed up to be a volunteer myself, hoping to get familiar with the stage.

When Ang Lee returned to Taiwan, Lai Shengchuan called and told Ang Lee that Tang Wei was very good and worth considering. Of course, no one can deny Lai Shengchuan's important and subtle role in this process. In fact, at that time, Lai Shengchuan also recommended another of his favorites, Taiwanese actress Zhu Zhiying, who later appeared in a small role in "Lust, Caution". It is rumored that Ang Lee finally chose one of them to play Wang Jiazhi.

Starry Journey: Tang Wei graduated from the Directing Department of the Central Academy of Drama. He is tall and has a delicate appearance. She was already a professional model at the age of seventeen. After graduation, she worked as a director for many dramas and sketches, and also participated in many TV dramas and dramas. In 2005, she rose to prominence with the TV movie directed by Zhang Jing. "Police Swallow" and another outstanding mainland actress Tao Hong both won the "2006 CCTV Movie Channel Digital Movie Lily Award for Outstanding Actress".
