is loved by the audience. When Andy Lau used to be the most prosperous Hong Kong film, although he was not the best actor at the box office, the movies he starred in were basically not too bad at the box office, and he could still make a small profit for the film company, which is regarded as the second camp. exist. Therefore, Andy Lau's film appointments were constant and very popular.
Andy Lau starred in a classic movie "Black Gold" in 1997. This is a movie about the darkness of Taiwan's political elections. In addition to Andy Lau, Leung Ka Fai is also one of the leading actors. His performance of the Zhou Dynasty was first unforgettable. He completely performed the true qualities of a gangster. The classic line "Who agrees, who opposes" is still very popular. The scenes of the two male gods in this movie are still very interesting, which adds a lot to the excitement of this movie. The director of
"Black Gold" is McDonald, but the core character of the movie is actually his brother McDonald. McDonald is the screenwriter of this movie, and he has done a lot in the director work. In addition to telling a good story, he also added a lot of big scene shots to this movie. Whether it is a hundred wolf dogs chasing a motorcycle or a car chasing a helicopter, it is of a very good standard, making the audience very enjoyable. McDonald also spared no effort to make this movie, and increased his budget. The total investment was as high as 60 million Hong Kong dollars. This was definitely a big-produced movie that year and quite ambitious.
"Black Gold" is a very classic movie, but the box office was very poor after the film was released. It invested 60 million Hong Kong dollars and finally got 10 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office. It was a huge loss. There are many reasons why "Black Gold" failed at the box office. First, the film exposed the darkness of Taiwan's political elections, so it was suppressed by Taiwan, and the film was not scheduled. At that time, the market for Hong Kong films was basically in Taiwan. Second, "Black Gold" and the Hollywood blockbuster "Titanic" crashed, and the box office was naturally hanged. The McDonald brothers suffered heavy losses after filming "Black Gold" and almost went bankrupt, leaving the two of them frustrated. Since then, the two brothers have retired from the film industry and never make movies anymore. The two good directors retired in this way, which was a pity for the audience.
