Zhao Wei Quick Info

Zhao Wei Quotes

• I have absolutely no idea who fabricated this negative news, neither do I know what kind of mentality these people had when they decided to fabricate these things. Nonetheless, I have come to accept these things. Praise and blame always come hand in hand. You have to choose to cherish everything that you own. You have to be happy with what you own, and not stress over anything else.
• I’m heavily influenced by my family. The degree that the entertainment circle’s impatient and impetuous is the degree that my family is at peace. I don’t need to deliberately show how special I am, my life is already unusual as it is. My family, especially my brother, have always encouraged me to experience the joys of ordinary life. No matter how others idolize you, in the end, you have to face life by yourself, that’s the reality.
• In real life, I’m definitely not a feminist woman. usually, I’m somewhat straightforward, it’s because I don’t really have the nerve to be overly emotional. I’m a person who is very afraid of being sappy. But I’m very sappy toward my family, “Dad I love you, mom I love you!” Both my brother and I would say so when it comes to mind. Mom and dad has already grown accustomed to both my brother and me suddenly giving them a hug. Although sappy, the way we speak is very straightforward! When we say it in a straightforward fashion, it’s rather humorous, and quite funny.
• I’m not a very complicated person, if I like it then I like it, if I don’t like it then I don’t, I feel gratified for this point of mine.
• I believe that one’s potential is endless. I’d rather give up good acting offers for the opportunity to learn.
• Acting is what I must learn and focus on. Other activities that come with acting are just optional modules, so I’d rather skip them all! I love acting, and acting is my occupation.
• Actually, I’m never used to the entertainment industry; I’m just acting like a veteran in this circle. With the exception of acting, I’ve never felt at ease, be it taking photos or attending parties and events. I only felt back to earth, when I am standing in front of the camera with the crew nearby, and the director shouts ‘Action’…
• Frankly, I’ve never liked to chase for fame or success. Now, I find myself liking to keep a low profile even more, so yes, I do indeed feel that I’m not really suitable for the vibrant and flamboyant entertainment…However, I do want to prove that even someone who keeps a low profile, can still be famous!
• Sometimes, there would be strangers who try to get friendly with me. My male classmates would then double up as bodyguards and protect me from such people. Other than that, I go through classes like any other people. Maybe it’s also because my class is a Masters class, and majority of the classmates are pretty well-known people…
• I felt good after completing the entrance exam. Actually, if I set my heart to studying, I can get pretty good marks… Like the literature exam, where my result was higher than 70% of the entire student population in China. Pretty impressive, huh?
• I have learned to look at things with an open heart. It doesn’t mean that I’ve seen through; just that there’s no need to raise a big ruckus over some issues. Life is like that; events will happen continuously to make life meaningful. Like in movies, endings with some tinge of regret are more fulfilling to the heart than happily-ever-afters. Hence, there’s no need to make myself angry over untrue or rude reports. I’d rather use the energy to do more meaningful things…
• Everyday is a new start of a journey. Hence, there is no reason why you are not full of confidence and hope.
• I really feel that optimism and openness are sweets that God gives to you. Even though one day you will finish eating them, but at least you’ll know what sweet tastes like.
• I want to be a good actress. And I’m sure that I’m a good actress.
• Life is made up of a large tragedy and many tiny moments of joy.
• “I feel that artistic directors are very serious about their work, they have more experience, and their expectations will be very high. About receiving an award, I don’t dare to have extravagant hopes. I am an actress that has never received an award before, he is a director that often receives awards, and my only hope is that I won’t affect him.” – on working with artistic director Huo Jian in Qing Ren Jie (2005).
• “Life is made up of a large tragedy and many tiny moments of joy. What I can do is slowly accumulate these tiny moments of joy, and use them to face tragedy.” – on the pressures placed on her being in the entertainment industry.
• “Perhaps my most outstanding personal trait is my lack of outstanding personal traits. The characters I play have much more personality than I do. So maybe it’s easier for me to slip into the various characters. Also, the parts I play are all very different. So in that sense my absence of persona is an advantage. But maybe one day I’ll develop a strong personality and it’ll give me a whole new kind of career.” – taking a stab at defining herself.
• “I’d gotten so used to it, doing TV shows, that I’d started to ignore it. But on Shaolin Soccer it was like the camera was a new boyfriend. I felt shy around it. I really wanted to show it my emotions, but I wasn’t sure if I was expressing my feelings correctly or not. It was like falling in love. And I still feel like I’m in that phase: falling in love with the camera. I still can’t treat it like a husband who’s been around for 10 years. If I start to feel that way. Then I’ll become a director!” – on interacting with the camera during filming.
• “I like the bald alien look best, what about you?” – on her ugly image in Shaolin Soccer.
• As an actress, it is vital for one to believe dreams are reality, because each film is a dream.
• “It’s more important that I’m liked because of my work, I don’t care if people think I’m sexy or if they like or don’t like me in person. Like right now when I’m talking to you on a personal level, I’m not worried about what kind of impression I leave on you.” (when asked to weigh herself on the sexy stakes.)
