Director Ang Lee earlier was interviewed in Taiwan. When he made LUST CAUTION (SIK GAI) he worked until he was in tears. "That day I was crying out of control on the side. (Tony) Leung Chiu Wai even came over to comfort me and said, 'Director, we are just showing our skin and flesh. You have to take care'. Leung Chiu Wai suffered at my hands like that but instead he came over to comfort me. After the shoot, Leung Chiu Wai, Tang Wei, Wang Leehom and I were all sick for a long time." Ang Lee even said that sometimes he tortured Leung Chiu Wai until he had no energy to perform. He seemed to be competing with Wong Kar Wai who could torture better. Ang Lee even said that after he first finished reading Eileen Chang Oi Ling's LUST CAUTION original novel he was very angry and thought it was a dirty novel. He thought it was indecent and did not want to make it. However the more he did not want to the more attractive it became.
