Tang Wei: I am a model in the UK

Many people think that I am a vase and actually have no strength.

I have my own foundation, and these foundations have long been ignored by most people. I was admitted to the Chinese film director department by virtue of my own strength. I just made a professional model when I entered the school. During the university, I also learned performances, broadcasts, and fine arts. I won the qualification of the second-level athletes in the badminton country. I played TV dramas and dramas. Drama choreographer; I have won many awards, although not international awards, but these awards confirm my step by step footprint.

"Lust Caution", while achieving me, also easily erased my previous achievements. No one in my past mentioned that I was an airborne soldier and fell directly to the Golden Horse Awards. The adjectives given to me are fortunate, opportunity... these words are not related to their own efforts - I really want to be famous, but not at the expense of denying my own efforts.

Then I was blocked. I calmly counted the harvest after the big red and black: the Golden Horse Award for Best Newcomer, a cosmetic advertising endorsement, a vase, a fame, a fire show, and a negative impact on young people... I am like a SSE A share, madly rushing After reaching the highest point in history, the squalor collapsed.

I chose to go abroad for a while, not to evade anything, but just don't want someone to chatter about my future plans. In my opinion, the future, not to say it, is made.

I went to the UK, with all the net worth: "Color Ring" paid 500,000, advertising advocacy fee 800,000. When signing the contract, I said that the endorsement fee is 6 million. If the new advertisement is not broadcasted several times, it will be called. Although I can honestly take the 4.8 million tax after the 6 million tax as my own, but the gentleman loves money, I have it. The final refund was 4 million.

Before I went out, I didn't know how long I had to stay abroad, and I didn't know how long it would take. But I don't worry, I think I can make myself very good.

I was going to find a school to study, and I found it very unrealistic. First of all, British art colleges have high requirements for students. The IELTS score is above 6.5 and the TOEFL score is at least 1550. My English level is far below the requirement that I can be accepted. Secondly, British tuition fees are high. Even public universities such as the University of the Arts in London charge 10,000 pounds a year for regular admissions and 30,000 to 40,000 for self-funded students like me.

I measured the money bag and dismissed the idea of ​​studying at my own expense. Next I found a language training class that specializes in English. My goal is to get a full scholarship with good grades. I have a good idea: the highest level scholarship at the University of the Arts in London is £18,000 a year – with it, not only can you go to school for free, but you can also earn all your living expenses.

After that, I started to think about economic issues. The money in hand can buy a house and a car in the country, but in the UK, but the annual salary of a white-collar worker. And I still don't know when there is a chance to make money, so I don't want to use this old one. And I know that as long as a person is willing to use his brain, he will definitely come up with the best of both worlds.

The two things I learned at the university came in handy—art, badminton. In the UK, street performers are a very "money way" career, and as long as they have the skills and can be displayed on the street, they will be rewarded.

My first "competing art" was to make a street fashion show. I used old newspapers to tear off the clothes and use the pins to keep them. I was wearing paper clothes, standing on the street, putting a hat in front of me, even if I started business. In order to match the color of fashion, I rushed a thick powder and painted a makeup similar to Japanese geisha. Look at my strange style, creative and fresh, and soon passers-by began to enthusiastically throw coin banknotes. I don't have an MP3 in my waist, I listened to English songs with my headphones, and I changed my posture when I was tired. After standing on the side of the road for two hours, I had a £26 55 pence income.

In the eyes of the British, any act related to creation is regarded as art. I used oil paint to draw the Peking Opera mask on my face, and I have money to collect it; I use a bucket of water to write calligraphy on the sidewalk with a brush made of sponge, and have money to collect; I move a chair, draw portraits for people passing by, and have money to collect. ... take two hours a day, pondering an idea, there are always dozens of pounds of income. The money is enough for my daily expenses, and this money has made my days in the UK less difficult.

In addition to "selling art," I also "sell". Playing badminton brought me a higher income.

In the UK, labor costs are very expensive. I found a club, played a ball with the resident coach, and then talked to the boss, it became a part-time sparring of the club. At 80 pounds per hour, the boss charges a management fee of 20 pounds, and I earn a net profit of 60 pounds. I’m about 15 hours a week, and I’m earning £900—just the cost of rent and language classes.

In this way, after a month in London, I became self-sufficient from eating old. This self-sufficiency not only gave me a stable life, but also made me more confident.

After coming to London for 4 months, I received a strange call from Bey Logan, president of Weinstein Brothers Film Company. I said I would like to have a preliminary contact to see if there is any possibility of cooperation.

A week later, Bey Logan smiled and appeared in front of me when I was performing a "fashion" with a one-time tablecloth transformation and performing performance art on the street. He praised me for being creative and aesthetic, and we had the first simple exchange. What makes me most happy is not his praise, but I can communicate with him fluently in English. We chatted for a quarter of an hour, then Bey Logan invited me to dinner. After agreeing to the time and place of the dinner, when he left, he placed a 100 Euro banknote in my hat. He said that as a partner, he invited me to dinner; as a passerby, he paid for my performance art.

After doing street artists and badminton training, I will make a small amount of money. I feel that my talents are not limited to this. Therefore, I have set my sights on my old line--professional models.

Because of the introduction of Bey Logan, I met the British film and television industry veterans, through whom they met a group of famous makeup artists and image designers in the UK, and finally contacted each year with the "London Fashion Design Week" fixed. Cooperative clothing designer Gareth.

I told Garley that I was a professional model, had a lot of stage experience, and I had the oriental charm and temperament that his other models did not have. I brought him his own photo, I believe that the old Shanghai charm with side close-up and bright red lips is enough to impress any designer.

I succeeded. At the "London Fashion Design Week" in 2008, I became the "model" of Gareth. I wore his latest design Gothic mask fashion and embarked on the runway of the fashion show. I don't have a broker, the price code is that I personally finalized it with Gareth. I did a model for a week and got a salary of 20,000 euros.

Gareth is very satisfied with me. With his help, I have met many designers of international first-line brands. It can be said that as long as I am willing to develop in the British fashion industry, I believe that I will grow into the most popular fashion model in a short time.

Just as I was doing an optimistic plan for the future, I received a call from Hong Kong. Because of the "Excellent" project, I got a Hong Kong resident ID card and the Hong Kong side invited me to go forward.

What greeted me in Hong Kong was a contract with Zhang Xueyou for the new film "Yue Man Hennessy". When I was preparing to play a new film, I had to go to the language class again because my Cantonese is very bad. I feel that in a new environment, in order to achieve good development, communication with people is essential. People around me speak Cantonese. If I can't change this environment, I can only adapt to the environment, because no matter when, it is the survival of the fittest. Only when people can get through, can they go further.
