Liu Yifei was tempted to act in an 18+ film, Zhang Ziyi wanted to but couldn't, the ending was unexpected

Associated with the image of a "fairy sister" that everyone loved since her early career, no one thought that Liu Yifei was once asked to participate in the most famous sensitive film in the history of Chinese cinema.

17 years have passed, but the stories surrounding the production of the movie "Lust, Caution" are still a topic that attracts public attention. This work was not only directed by Ang Lee, but also successfully invited famous actor Tony Leung to play the male lead, so many actors wanted to participate.

However, the casting process of "Lust, Caution" was not easy because Ang Lee had very high requirements for the female lead role of Vuong Giai Chi. According to the Oscar-winning director, the girl taking on this role must be beautiful and have charisma, enough to make Mr. Ich (Tony Leung) fall in love. That's why he sought out Liu Yifei - someone who was both beautiful and had the charisma he wanted.

At first, the "fairy sister" refused and expressed that she did not want to act in "Lust, Caution". But Ang Lee did not give up, he even invited her to meet to clarify the issue of cooperation. Faced with the invitation of a great director, Liu Yifei was willing to meet, and also wanted to try to consider the issue of the script more carefully.

However, when she saw the three bold hot scenes in the script of "Lust, Caution", Liu Yifei was very surprised and told Ang Lee: "Sorry but I feel I am not suitable for this role". In fact, Vuong Giai Chi is a role with depth and can help "fairy sister" improve her acting, especially when working with Tony Leung.

However, at that time, the young actress was pursuing the image of a "fairy" who was not tainted by worldly affairs. If she accepted the role in "Lust, Caution", the risk of the public turning their backs on her was very high. In the end, Ang Lee did not try to keep her anymore and instead turned to other options.

Shu Qi was one of the bright candidates that the director sought out, but she did not want to play the role. Because when she first entered showbiz, the actress had accepted a similar project and the bad reputation from this genre haunted her for many years. Although she tried to forget the past, it still haunted her for a long time and she did not want "Lust, Caution" to recreate those shameful stains again.

Meanwhile, Zhang Ziyi was a rare star who actively wanted to play the role of Wang Jiazhi, even willing to not accept any salary. Unfortunately, Ang Lee felt that Zhang's beauty looked too smart and cunning and did not match the somewhat traditional Wang Jiazhi, so he refused. In the following days, he was almost desperate because he could not find the female lead he wanted.

Until Tang Wei appeared, Ang Lee decided that he could not let her refuse like Liu Yifei and Shu Qi before. In addition to her temperament and classical beauty that met the requirements, her acting was also very good, she was indeed a perfect candidate for the female lead role.

After the invitations and encouragement from Lee An, Thang Duy agreed, but along with that, she had to pay a high price when her boyfriend asked her to break up. Fortunately, the young actress did not let her love life affect her career too much and brought a perfect Vuong Giai Chi, like tearing a book out of a book.

In just one night, Tang Wei gained fame and status in the industry, officially entering the ranks of the great actresses alongside Zhang Ziyi and Shu Qi. However, the ending that the actress received was also very bitter, when she was secretly banned for a long time and had to move to Korea to work. Many viewers were upset on her behalf because those related to the work such as Ang Lee and Tony Leung were not affected at all.

That said, not being able to work with director Li is a pity, but refusing to act in "Lust, Caution" was the right decision for Liu Yifei. If she had accepted the role of Wang Jiazhi despite everything, I'm afraid the consequences the actress would have had would have been even more severe than Tang Wei's in the past.

Thang Duy was abandoned by her fiancé, her career was frozen because she played a very hot scene in 'Sacred World' Yang Mi14:55:17 16/04/2022After the movie, Thang Duy's name became famous, was recognized by the audience and professionals for his good acting, but to do that, Thang Duy made a lot of trade-offs and sacrifices. much.
