Seeing the taxi before them, and the plain make-up appearance of the female driver that varies greatly from the usual attractive dressing up of a star image, several media and audiences are all concerned with her performance this time. The difficulty arises especially when acting with Japanese actors with dissimilar communication languages, but Zhao Wei reveals that she has her own methods in her acting.
After a period of shooting, Japanese actor Motoki and Zhao Wei already have a certain tacit understanding between them, both of them having high mutual perceptive. Motoki especially diligently prepared a segment of Chinese presentation script for the interview, and mentioned all merits of Zhao Wei.
Director Zhang Yibai has always been very creative and full of ideas towards directing a romance movie, this time is no different, directing a love story in the nights of Shanghai, he has a confidence that the plot is very interesting, extraordinary sceneries as well. It seems that with the dedicated performance of actors and also with the full confidence of the director, the movie [The Longest Night in Shanghai] will be among the anticipated movies next year.
