Before the filming of Lust, Caution, Tang Wei was taken to Shanghai for demonic training, learning Shanghainese, wearing cheongsam and high heels, singing Suzhou Pingtan and studying history books hard. After nearly 10 hours of training every day for more than a month, Ang Lee was satisfied with the "acceptance" and finally signed the contract. Tang Wei said, "Shanghai women are used to wearing cheongsam. In order to walk freely during the performance, I wear cheongsam and walk with a book on my head every day. The soil is a little rusty, but it is really effective! "

Tang Wei's worst shooting, even ng 367 times. After eight months of filming, she cried and was at a loss, but she finally survived a difficult period. "In these eight months, I am Wang Jiazhi, and I didn't think anything.
