    At the end of May, Brother Chen Kai took Gong Li and Leslie Cheung to France. The film "Feng Yue" they collaborated with was shortlisted for the main competition of Cannes. Because the influence of "Farewell My Concubine" is still there, these people have high hopes of winning the award.  However, when the list of winners was announced, there was no winner for "Feng Yue". Instead, a Hong Kong film called "Horse Race" became 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 for Performing Arts and are relatively low-level third-rate actors. They are not famous even in Hong Kong, let alone abroad.  The most famous actor in the whole film is Wu Ma, who plays a down-and-out old gambler. His wife and children were separated because of horse racing when he was young, and he still refuses to repent when he is old.  He threw all the money he earned into the racecourse, hoping to make it back.  As for director Ang Lee, he is not a big name.  He worked as Kang Jianfei's deputy for several years. After directing independently, he also made some blockbuster commercial films. He is not as famous as Liu Zhenwei in the Hong Kong film circle.  But it was such a low-cost literary film made by a young director and young actors that made a splash at Cannes, winning the Jury Prize and Best Actor (Wuma) in one fell swoop, shocking countless people.  The most surprising thing is Wu Ma. He has acted in movies for so many years, but he can only play a supporting role as Green Leaf.  Although it was also a supporting role this time, it was crowned the Cannes Best Actor (there is no distinction between the Cannes Best Actor and the Best Actress).  After the news came back to Hong Kong, everyone couldn¡¯t believe it. Even Wu Ma himself thought Ang Lee was joking.  Oriental Film and Television Distribution Company seized the opportunity and started negotiations with foreign film producers while winning the award. The copyright fee (sold out) in Europe alone was sold for US$2.6 million.  Not only did it recoup its production costs, but it also made a net profit of US$400,000.  Ang Lee is finally proud. This kind of literary and artistic film is not popular in Hong Kong and Taiwan. He is afraid that he will lose his underwear.  Early June is the warm-up for the summer season, and "Horse Race", riding on the popularity of the award-winning news, can't wait to land in major theaters in Hong Kong.  There were not many films scheduled at the beginning, and the number of performances was not well arranged. They were all during the day and late at night. After all, this is just an art film.  But the feedback from theaters is surprising: "Horse Race" earned 1.82 million at the box office in its first week thanks to junk screenings and a small number of films, with an average attendance rate of 60% in the afternoon screenings.  This data may not seem like much, but it is actually quite shocking.  Oriental Cinemas Company quickly added more films to "Horse Race", with an average of three screenings per cinema every night. This move made "Horse Race"'s single-week box office soar to 4.73 million, and its reputation spread rapidly.  Hong Kong people¡¯s love for horse racing ranks among the top three in the world, and their enthusiasm for betting on horse racing ranks first in the world.  Although the film "Horse Racing" is very artistic, it is close to the lives of Hong Kong citizens. The profound thoughts expressed in the film can also be empathized with by Hong Kong audiences.  By the third week, the single-week box office of "Horse Racing" was still growing and had exceeded the 6 million mark, with a cumulative box office of 13 million. It beat Jiahe's "Hudumen" (starring Xiao Fangfang and Yuan Yongyi) to become the box office of this period.  champion.  ""Horse Race"" continued to be released for five weeks. When the summer blockbuster movies were released one after another, it finally came to an end. The final box office in Hong Kong was 21.08 million.  When the annual box office was calculated at the end of the year, this result ranked seventh in Hong Kong's annual box office list in 1996.  Ang Lee became famous with this film, and the newcomers Ding Jichuan and Ren Yao, who played the leading roles, also became famous.  As for Wu Ma, hehe, he is an international actor, the first Hong Kong actor in history to win this honor.  However, Wu Ma has always felt confused about the title of Best Actor. How can he become the Best Actor even if he plays a supporting role?  ¡°I can only say that Ang Lee¡¯s ability to train/teach actors is amazing.  When the box office of "Horse Race" reached 20 million, DreamWorks held a celebration banquet specifically for Ang Lee. Due to personal connections, Kang Jianfei was also invited to congratulate him.     ¡­¡­    evening.  Kang Jianfei¡¯s black Cadillac stopped at Fulinmen. He took Wang Zuxian¡¯s hand and slowly got out of the car. The reporters who had been waiting for a long time suddenly swarmed up.  At this time, the stock price of Oriental Network Technology Company rose sharply, and Chen Bo's theory of changing his fate against the odds was aroused. The reporters' questions were basically related to these two things.  A reporter rushed to ask: "Mr. Kang, when do you think the stock price can exceed 100 US dollars?" "I am very confident about this, it is estimated to be very soon." Kang Jianfei said with a smile.  Another reporter asked: "You have been engaged in the cultural and entertainment industry. How did you first think of investing in the Internet?" "I think the Internet is the future development trend. In another 20 years, 95% of people in Hong Kong will be able to surf the Internet.  The business opportunities are endless,¡± Kang Jianfei said.  Soon the reporter turned the topic to Feng ShuiAbove: "Mr. Kang, Uncle Chen said that your destiny is the lone star of evil. The reason why you are able to achieve what you are now is because an expert helped you change your destiny against the will of heaven. Can you reveal some information?" Kang Jianfei smiled.  He stretched out his index finger, pointed at the sky, then pointed at himself, and said with great pretentiousness: "My fate is up to me and not up to God." "Ouch!" Everyone was in an uproar.  The reporters are even more excited. They already have the headline for tomorrow's news, which is the sentence "My fate is up to me."  Before the reporter could ask any more questions, Kang Jianfei had already led Wang Zuxian¡¯s hand into the restaurant with his bodyguards leading the way.  Today, Wang Zuxian wore a black knee-length gauze skirt and a pair of black velvet gloves, revealing her white arms and calves. She was playful and sexy.  After she was far away from the reporter, she said with admiration: "Brother Fei, what you just said was so domineering." Kang Jianfei smiled and said, "Don't reporters just like hearing this? I can't let them down." Wang Zuxian asked: "Fei  Brother, do you know what Uncle Chen said to Sister Guan after recording the show that day? When she mentioned Uncle Chen now, she said that he was an old liar and looked very ugly. "Hahaha," Kang Jianfei couldn't help it.  Laughing loudly, he said in a low voice, "Uncle Chen said that Guan Guan's chin is too pointed, which means he will lose money and cannot save money; there is also something wrong with his nose, which will not make him prosperous; and the tail of his eyes and the roots of his eyes are unstable, which means his marriage will not go well.  , she can only be a step-mother or concubine. Anyway, her only advantage is that she has a good mouth, has enough food and clothing all her life, and is rich. " "That's really miserable." Wang Zuxian also laughed, a little gloating.  Among all Kang Jianfei¡¯s women, Wang Zuxian, Li Jiaxin and Guan Zhilin are the most popular because they have publicly fought against each other.  Wang Zuxian and Guan Zhilin have a good relationship, but they also have a small mind to compare with each other. Now that she heard that Guan Zhilin's appearance is not good, she is naturally a little happy.  Kang Jianfei arrived a little late. The celebration banquet was about to begin, and some reporters were allowed inside to take pictures.  Although Ang Lee and the two new actors are the protagonists, the reporters always focus their cameras on Kang Jianfei, which is somewhat of a prestige.  Amidst countless flashes and shutter sounds, Wang Zuxian suddenly held his throat and bent over and vomited: "Ouch!"
