“When the offer came in, I was like, ‘Really? No way… ‘ I thought. It was so good.”
Actor Tang Wei smiled brightly as he looked back on the decision to appear in the movie ‘Decision to break up’. It was at a hotel on the beach in Cannes, France on the followingnoon of the 24th (local time). ‘Determination to Break Up’ was a new film by director Park Chan-wook, who “I looked for it every time it was released and made me wonder, ‘How can it be filmed so differently every time?’ There was no reason to refuse to meet. “I went to director Park’s office and listened to the movie for regarding an hour and a half,” he said. It was a time when the scenario was not completed. Tang Wei said, “Director Park’s explanation alone was so much fun, so I decided to appear.”
‘Decision to break up’ was invited to the competition section of the 75th Cannes Film Festival, which opened on the 17th, and finished its first official screening on the followingnoon of the 23rd. There was a standing ovation for regarding 7 minutes. Much of the cheers went to Tang Wei. He said, “It felt good to be in Cannes where I met Director Park and (co-actor) Hae-il Park following a long time.” “After the screening, I feel better because the foreign media reaction is good,” he added. “The purpose of coming to Cannes to introduce the movie to more people has been fulfilled.”
“When the ending credits went up at the official screening, I suddenly felt that my life was complete,” said Tang Wei. “I don’t know why, but I felt like my heart was filled with something,” he said. “I told Director Park right away.” Reflection!” replied).
‘Decision to Break Up’ depicts the intense emotional exchange between Hae-jun (Park Hae-il), a sincere and knowledgeable detective, and Seo-rae (Tang Wei), a woman who is suspected of her husband’s sudden death. The mystery surrounding the murder creates tension, and the mournful story of two men and women is made up of water.
Seorae smuggled from China to Korea and settled there. Tang Wei studied Korean from the basics to transform into Seorae, who speaks poor Korean. He did not want to act by simply memorizing Korean lines. He said, “Because I’m an idiot… After joking, he said, “I’m playing a character in a completely new language, and I thought that I would have to go through the process that the character would have gone through before I might understand the role.” Even on the set, he focused all his attention on Korean. “Maybe because I read the Chinese scenario, when the other person spoke in Korean, the content kept coming to my mind in Chinese, so I mightn’t respond in Korean.”

Was it because he had to learn a new language the hard way and started filming? In ‘Decision to break up’, he selected ‘to say a word, a murder must happen’ (he said it once more and once more in Korean) as the most memorable line. It is because “‘murder case’ has been difficult to keep up with, and now it has become a word that will not be forgotten.” He also laughed, saying, “The person who invented Korean made the word ‘murder’ with a difficult pronunciation so that he would not easily forget it.”
There are several scenes in ‘Decision to Break Up’ that will leave followingimages even following the screening is over. Among them, Tang Wei picked “the temple scene and the interrogation room scene” as the most impressive passage. It was because “It was very exciting because it shows the subtle feelings of Hae-jun and Seo-rae, and it was the scene that Director Park shot best.”
For Tang Wei, director Park was a person who “gives trust and stability” on set. First of all, he said, “I really liked the continuity (a booklet showing the shooting plan in detail with pictures and lines).” “I like comic books, but it was delicate enough that I felt like I was reading a comic book,” he said. “I was able to prepare well for the shoot without having to guess the director’s intentions. Director Park is a person who has no problem working with anyone in any country. At the time of filming, the 52-hour week system was introduced at the film site, so it was confusing, but the director was not upset.”
