Tang Wei in the just released film SPEED ANGELS (GIK CHOOK TIN SI) played a "tom boy" driver.  However director Jingle Ma Chor Sing pointed out that the intricate emotional scene at a wedding was much more difficult than the racing scene.

From the still, Tang Wei was dressed in white and very femininely.  She joked that she was not used to it.  "Normally the racing suits were very loose.  In the wedding scene I wore a very elegant white dress that could rival the bride's gown.  Because my character was more tomboyish, she normally wouldn't wear a dress!"

The Jingle Ma Chor Sing directed inspirational women's racing film SPEED ANGELS (GIK CHOOK TIN SI) will open in Hong Kong on January 5th.  Tang Wei in the film had a touching romance with racing coach Han Jae-Suk.  Tang Wei in the film played a taxi driver who the Han Jae-Suk discovered racing coach discovered and recruited into the Chinese racing team.  Tang Wei in the opening already had a very exciting car chase that she had to demonstrate drifting in.  Racing coach Jimmy Lin said that Tang Wei was truly a ferocious driver.  When she ran into any obstacle, she stepped on the gas pedal instead of the brake -- a response of a professional driver's potential.  Tang Wei pointed out that the character was like her when she was little.

In the story Han Jae-Suk trained Tang Wei into a professional driver, they grew closer but Han Jae-Suk promised "a coach could not fall in love with a driver".  Tang Wei was anxious and ran into a truck.  Han Jae-Suk rushed to the scene and took her to the hospital.  Despite of injury Tang Wei still competed.  Director Ma Chor Sing hoped that the audience would become Tang Wei and for everyone to see how she raced from last place.  In the past year, everyone had stress, laughter and tears.  He made this film for viewers to have fun and speed into the new year.

Tang Wei in the film SPEED ANGEL (GIK CHOOK TIN SI) played a taxi driver Siu Yi who loved to drive fast.  She was also very trained in kung fu as she was able to fight one against four.  She was very happy about displaying her abilities on the big screen for the first time to make up for WU XIA not fulfilling her "action actress" dream.

Tang Wei received her on screen mother Cheng Pei Pei's kung fu training.  She learned wholeheartedly and personally performed fight scenes.  Despite all the bruises and pain she was fine, she only hoped that no one would be too picky while watching.

In the film opening she had a fierce fight scene and had to use Tai Chi.  Tang Wei said that each time she was on the set, the director would change the way they fought and she would go back to learn the new style; later she realized that the director wanted to challenge her limits.  After completion she had a special sense of accomplishment.  Cheng Pei Pei also praised her, "Tang Wei has hope to become a new style heroine!"

Tang Wei, Rene Liu (Lau Yeuk Ying), Cecilia Cheung Pak Chi and Jimmy Lin (Lam Chi Wing) starred racing film SPEED ANGELS (GIK CHOOK TIN SI) will be opened on December 28 in the Mainland.  The film two nights ago held its Beijing premiere, but three female leads did not appear.  Only Siu Chi and director Jingle Ma Chor Sing came in support.

Siu Chi this time was also the film's racing consultant.  He pointed out that all three lead actresses were interested in racing and praised that they had talent.

Siu Chi discovered that all three female leads had very manly side, as if gas ran into their blood.  During the shoot, Pak Chi's son Lucas often visited the set.  Siu Chi and Pak Chi would also exchange parenthood experience on the set.

Director Ma Chor Sing pointed out that Tang Wei in this film gave her first fight scene.  When she knew she had a fight scene, she was surprised because she has always played mostly dramatic scenes.  Ma Chor Sing continued, for this fight scene Tang Wei privately made a lot of preparation.  The result was also great.

Cheung Pak Chi worked with Ma Chor Sing earlier on FLY ME TO POLARIS (SING YU SUM YUEN).  Ma Chor Sing pointed out that Pak Chi at the time was like a blank slate.  He still clearly remembered at the time how he taught her how to act.  Now Pak Chi was already very mature and her eyes were different.  They seemed to contain a lot.

Jimmy Lin participated in the film SPEED ANGELS (GIK CHOOK TIN SI) as a star and racing consultant.  A month before the shoot Jimmy Lin trained Cecilia Cheung Pak Chi, Tang Wei and Rene Liu (Lau Yeuk Ying) one on one in racing.  He said that Pak Chi was a natural racer, Tang Wei picked it up very quickly and drove steadily, and Lau Yeuk Ying focused on practical technique and studied in detail; their driving style was very similar to their personalities.

Earlier when Jingle Ma Chor Sing prepared for SPEED ANGELS, he thought of working with Jimmy Lin.  The "Little Cyclone of Asia" is the first paid professional racer in Chinese show business and has won international racing awards.  Ma Chor Sing at first invited Jimmy Lin to be the racing coach for the three female leads as the racing technical consultant.  During the shoot he thought Jimmy Lin was wasted as just the behind the scene coach and consultant and suggested for him to play the team coach.  Because Jimmy Lin has been busy with racing he has not made a movie in six years.  Thus he gladly accepted the role and claimed that the director really knew how to do business, hitting two birds with one stone.

The Cecilia Cheung Pak Chi, Tang Wei and Rene Liu (Lau Yeuk Ying) starred film SPEED ANGELS (GIK CHOOK TIN SI) unveiled its posters yesterday.  In one of the posters Tang Wei and Milk Tea wore purple racing gear.  Director Jingle Ma Chor Sing revealed that Tang Wei and Milk Tea privately were as close as sisters.  "For the drinking scene they truly chatted from the heart while they drank on the set."  He also pointed out that Pak Chi during the shoot had to keep visiting family and children company so she did not have much contact with her co-stars.  However she still was able to achieve the feeling as soon as she took her spot with Milk Tea.

Tang Wei and Hyun Bin worked together on LATE AUTUMN, which she appeared at last year's Busan Film Festival for.  A reporter asked about the difference between Hyun Bin and Gum Sing Mo.  Tang Wei responded, "The difference is I can speak Chinese with Gum Sing Mo, but with Hyun Bin I can only speak inferior English for daily exchange.  The similarity is when I went to Taiwan with Gum Sing Mo, his 'old ladies' (fans) were very crazy.  When I came to Korea, Hyun Bin's fans were also very crazy.  Everyone was very attentive as we all have witnessed."  Hyun Bin and Tang Wei were linked in rumors.  What did she want to say to Hyun Bin who is currently serving his marine duty?  Tang Wei wished him good health.

On the 29th, Tang Wei appeared in Jinan for a cinema opening.  This was Tang Wei's first public appearance in Jinan.  The cinema prepared 3D glasses for Tang Wei, who liked this pair of glasses very much and even made cute poses for the media with it.

After the event, Tang Wei was asked whether she had any standard in her fashion.  Tang Wei said that comfort was the best.  Speaking of the just completed film DYNAMIC ANGEL (GIK CHOOK TIN SI), Tang Wei said that she was very happy to finally have a chance to work with Rene Liu (Lau Yeuk Ying) and Cecilia Cheung Pak Chi.  Playing a female racer in the film, Tang Wei said that her driving improved.  "Everyone dare to sit in my car now."  As for rumors with a Mainland rich kid, Tang Wei denied them immediately.  "This isn't true, I am still waiting for love."

At the China Film Huabiao Award Tang Wei walked the red carpet with many heavyweight class stars and even presented an award with Sammi Cheng Sau Man and Huang Xiaoming.  The ban seemed to be completely lifted off her.  Before Tang Wei replied, her manager loudly responded, "Not answering this question."  When interacting with the host, Tang Wei was obviously excited when she talked about the Huabiao Award.  Being able to appear in the so-called "government award", Tang Wei's ban lift was clear.
