Media Ban

In early March 2008 it was reported that some of Tang Wei’s commercial sponsors had dropped her television and print ads due to her performance in the movie Lust, Caution. This included Tang Wei’s forthcoming TV commercials (for skincare among other things).

She was set to star in Tian Zhuangzhuang’s big budget period film The Warrior and the Wolf, but due to the Chinese media ban she was replaced by actress Maggie Q. In October 2008, the Hong Kong immigration authority approved her application under Quality Migrant Admission Scheme, thus becoming a resident of Hong Kong. This creates more opportunities and broaden her career in the media industry. She also has ambitions for the United States and Hollywood as well.
