At the end of May, Chen Kaige took Gong Li and Leslie Cheung to France. Their collaboration film "Wind and Moon" was shortlisted for the main competition unit in Cannes.
Because the influence of "Farewell My Concubine" is still there, these people are calling for awards.
However, when the list of winners was announced, "Feng Yue" was invincible, but instead a Hong Kong film called "Horse Racing", becoming the real dark horse of this Cannes Film Festival.
The male protagonist of this film is Ding Jichuan and the female protagonist is Ren Yao. They are both young people around 20 years old.
They graduated from the Hong Kong Academy of Performing Arts and are the kind of junior third-rate actors who are relatively low-level. Not to mention abroad, they are not even famous in Hong Kong.
The biggest actor in the whole film is Wu Ma, who plays a poor and old gambler. When he was young, his wife and children were separated because of his horse. He still never repents when he was old.
He threw all his money into the horse farm, hoping to make a comeback in one go.
As for director Ang Lee, he is not a big name.He served as a deputy to Kang Jianfei for several years, and after he directed independently, he also made some miserable commercial films, and his reputation in the Hong Kong film industry is not as good as Liu Zhenwei.
But it was such a low-cost art film made by a young director and actor, but it shone in Cannes, winning the jury award and Best Actor (Wu Ma), which surprised countless people.
The most surprising thing is Wu Ma. He has been acting in movies for so many years and can only play Green Leaf as a supporting role.
Although he is also a supporting role this time, he was crowned the Cannes Best Actor (there is no distinction between the Cannes Best Actor and the Best Actor).
After the news came back to Hong Kong, everyone could not believe it. Even Wu Ma thought Ang Lee was joking.
Oriental Film and Television Distribution Company seized the opportunity and started negotiations with foreign film manufacturers while winning the award. The copyright fee (selled) in Europe alone sold US$2.6 million.
Not only did he recover the production cost, he also made a pure profit of $400,000.
Ang Lee finally became proud. Such art films are not pleasing to Hong Kong and Taiwan, and he was afraid that he would lose all his underwear.
Early June is the preheating of the summer season. "Horse Racing" can't wait to land in major Hong Kong cinemas with the popularity of the award-winning news.
At the beginning, there were not many films, and the number of scenes was not well arranged. They were all day and late at night. After all, this was just an art film.
On the contrary, the information fed back by the theater was surprising. "Horse Racing" earned 1.82 million in the first week of box office with the number of garbage dumps and a small number of films, and the average attendance rate of the afternoon was as high as 60%.
This data doesn't seem to be very good, but it's actually very amazing.
Oriental Cinema Company quickly added screenings to "Horse Racing", and each cinema arranged three screenings every night. This move caused the box office of "Horse Racing" to soar to 4.73 million in a single week, and its reputation spread rapidly.
Hong Kong people’s love for horse racing can rank among the top three in the world, and their enthusiasm for betting on horse racing can be called the world’s number one.
Although the movie "Horse Racing" is very literary, it is close to the lives of Hong Kong citizens. The deep thoughts expressed in the film also make Hong Kong audiences empathize.
By the third week, the single-week box office of "Horse Racing" was still growing, and it had exceeded 6 million mark, with a cumulative box office of 13 million. It killed Jiahe's "Tiger Gate" (starring Xiao Fangfang and Anita Yuen) and became the box office champion of this period.
"Horse Racing" lasted for five weeks. It was finally released in the summer season and finally lost its box office, with the final box office of 21.08 million.
When the annual box office was counted at the end of the year, this result ranked 7th in the Hong Kong annual box office list in 1996.
Ang Lee made a name for himself with this film, and the newcomers Ding Jichuan and Ren Yao, who were the leading actors, also became famous.
As for Wuma, hehe, he is the international actor and the first Hong Kong actor to win this honor in history.
However, Wu Ma always feels confused about the title of Actor Award. How can he become a supporting role even if he plays a supporting role?
It can only be said that Ang Lee's ability to train an actor is so awesome.
When the box office of "Horse Racing" reached 20 million, DreamWorks specially held a celebration banquet for Ang Lee. Because of his personal relationship, Kang Jianfei was also invited to congratulate him.
evening.
Kang Jianfei's black Cadillac stopped at Fulinmen. He held Joey Wong's hand and slowly got out of the car. The reporters who had been waiting for a long time rushed up in an instant.
At this time, the stock of Oriental Network Technology Company rose sharply, and Mr. Chen’s saying that he would change his fate was in full swing. The reporter’s questions were basically related to these two things.
A reporter asked first: Mr. Kang, when do you think the stock price of EITC can exceed $100?
I'm very confident about this, probably soon.Kang Jianfei smiled.
Another reporter asked: You have been engaged in the cultural and entertainment industry. How did you think of investing in the Internet?
I think the Internet is the future development trend, and there are unlimited business opportunities.Kang Jianfei said.
Soon the reporter turned the topic to Feng Shui: Mr. Kang, Uncle Chen said that your fate is the lonely star of Tiansha. The reason why you can achieve your current achievements is because there are experts who help you change your fate against the will of heaven.Can you reveal some news?
Kang Jianfei smiled and stretched out his index finger, pointed at the sky, and pointed at himself, saying with great pretentiousness: My fate is up to me, but I cannot do it to God.
Wow!
Everyone was uproared.
The reporters were even more excited. Their news titles for tomorrow were already there, and it was the sentence "My destiny is my fault."
Before the reporter could ask again, Kang Jianfei had already walked into the restaurant with his bodyguards in his hand.
Today, Joey Wong wore a black knee-length gauze short skirt and a pair of black velvet gloves, revealing her snow-white arms and calves, and she was playful and charming.
After she got away from the reporter, she said admirably: Brother Fei, what you said just now is so domineering.
Kang Jianfei smiled and said: Don’t reporters just like to listen to these things?I can't let them down.
Kang Jianfei arrived a little late, and the celebration banquet was almost about to begin, and some reporters were also allowed to enter and take photos.
Although Ang Lee and the two new actors are the protagonists, the reporters always look at Kang Jianfei, which is somewhat of a disastrous.
Amid the countless flashes and shutter sounds, Joey Wong suddenly covered her throat and bent down and vomited: Vomit!
