In occupied Shanghai, four wives play mahjong with bright lights on in broad daylight, and the diamond ring shines when shuffling cards. The husband of the hostess Yi () is the director of Wang Puppet Intelligence Bureau. Among the three female guests, two husbands also worked in the Wang puppet government. Wang Jiazhi (Tang Wei), the youngest "Mrs. Mai", is nominally the dry daughter of Mrs. Yi, but she doesn't wear a diamond ring. Bo Tu's lips are so red that Zhang Xiuli's hexagonal face can withstand the ruthless head irradiation, and the cold light and shadow reveal her "chest gully". She and Mrs. Yi met in Hong Kong two years ago. After the fall of Hong Kong, Mr. Mai's business stopped, and he came to Shanghai to work alone, while Mrs. Yi stayed at home.
Mr. Yi (Tony Leung Chiu Wai), who is not tall, stands behind his wife and looks at the cards. He used a loophole to send a signal to Jiazhi. Jiazhi said that she had something to do and said goodbye to everyone. She went out in Yijia's car, told the driver to drive to a cafe, and then sent the driver back. Then she went into the cafe to make a phone call, came out and hired a tricycle to stop at Commander Kay's cafe, and went in to wait for someone. She's waiting for mr. yi. Jia Zhiben is a student of Lingnan University. Before the fall of Guangzhou, Lingda moved to Hong Kong. After Wang Jingwei and his party arrived in Hong Kong, she and several boys and girls, with the feelings of exiled students, were determined to serve the country, so they spontaneously organized themselves to be amateur agents and set up a honey trap: a girl approached Mrs. Yi, and then seduced mr. yi, a red man around Wang Jingwei, trying to lure him out and get rid of him. Hua Dan Wang Jiazhi, the head of the school troupe, is a natural bait. Unfortunately, the fish didn't swallow the hook, and the plan didn't succeed.
After the Pearl Harbor incident, the sea was reopened, and these students moved to Shanghai and got on the line with a Kuomintang spy. The agent strongly encouraged them to continue their contacts, so Wang Jiazhi and Lao Yi established a relationship again. Set a trap today to assassinate mr. yi at the appointed place. Wang Jiazhi waited for a long time before he saw a charcoal car coming. You can tell at a glance that this is his car. She went out and got in the car. Mr. yi asked the driver to drive to John Calvin Ferguson Road for a tryst. Wang Jiazhi said there was a shop nearby, and she wanted to repair an earring when she could. Mr. yi naturally can't counterplot. The car then turned back and crossed the street from the Yili biscuit line to the Ping 'an Theater. Across the street is commander Kay's cafe.
After entering the jewelry store, Mr. Yi proposed to keep his promise and buy a diamond ring for Jiazhi as a souvenir. The Indian boss received them in the attic between the two floors behind the store and selected a six-carat pink diamond ring for Jiazhi to try on. Wang Jiazhi knew that the assassin had been ambushed, but she found herself hopelessly in love with mr. yi. Under the watchful eye of mr. yi, she put the ring on her hand and let go of her "patriotism". Wang Jiazhi's "quick walk" made mr. yi wake up and failed in assassination. Yi Gang ordered the secret execution of those arrested, including Wang Jiazhi. Later, Yi's men put the ring he gave Wang Jiazhi on his desk.
Tang Wei's performance in Lust, Caution is almost the same as naomi watts's brilliant performance in Muhland Road. Young female students and young "Mrs. Mai" merged in Tang Wei, and she turned them into a breeze. She completely conquered Mr. Yi Lao with the style wrapped in cheongsam, and quietly publicized this style to the extreme in every appearance.
Tony Leung Chiu Wai's performance was certainly good. Mr. Yi in Lust, Caution subverts his consistent image in In the Mood for Love, Infernal Affairs and Heroes. In the first sex scene with "Mrs. Mai", he perfectly interpreted this abnormal traitor with another face. Of course, the "sex" in Lust, Caution also makes everyone crazy, but surprisingly, Ang Lee turns the story 180 degrees at the end and goes straight to romanticism. Tang Wei also clearly showed this great change from hate to love to every audience.
