The fat man next to him only realized that he was Brother Zhu after reading the news. At first glance, he thought Zhang Guoli. []And Li came this time and gave him a lot of chicken soup. The editor only listened to it.

Review last year was also the Shanghai International Film Festival in June. The editor’s favorite , Ang Lee , is here too ↓↓

This fat man next to him only realized that he was Brother Pig after reading the news. At first glance, he thought Zhang Guoli. . .

Ang Lee came this time and gave me a lot of chicken soup. The editor only heard one sentence:

I only opened it at the age of 36, don’t grow too fast!

The editor suddenly felt that life was much brighter. . . Thank you Ang Lee!

So let’s come to Bayiba today, a late-achieving director, which can calm down many impetuous hearts~

Ann Li was born on October 23, 1954 in Taiwan Province, and his ancestral home is De'an, Jiangxi. His father was Li Sheng, and he was the magistrate of Chongren County, the Republic of China government in 1946. In 1951, Li Sheng fled from the mainland alone to Taiwan and settled in Chaozhou Town, Pingtung County. Later, he took teaching as his career and became the principal of Tainan No. 1 Middle School. He married his wife and children again. This was why Ang Lee and his younger brother Ligang (also a director)↓↓

Ang Lee's father has always had high expectations for his son. He felt that his son should go to college, and the higher his education, the better. He can inherit his mantle and be a teacher in the future. Because Ang Lee was studying at his father's school, his father found many famous teachers to make up for his son, but his son's grades still did not improve.

is bad every day, but it still fails the exam! And I haven't gotten into college for two years! I got zero points in mathematics directly, and I was so nervous that my stomach hurt in the exam room and almost fainted. Later, I had to go to Taiwan's National Arts and Film Department.

When I arrived at the art college, I found that in addition to tutoring and exams, there were also poetry and distant places in my life~

But my father was very sad. He sent his son to school for the first time. When he saw that the food was so poor and mice were running around in the dormitory, his father cried when he got home. When the first semester ended, my dad asked again: Let’s stop pursuing, will it be fine to go back to study and retake the exam? Ang Lee is not willing. The father finally decided to support his son, but there was one condition: study abroad after graduation.

In fact, Ang Lee was not very good at English, so he made up for a while and barely passed the TOEFL test. When applying to school, he found that his neighbor's child was studying at Illinois University, so he applied to Yida University.

Ann Li later recalled that in the earliest 20 years of his life, his self-esteem was always low. At Tainan No. 1 Middle School, I felt that I was a poor student and went to an art school. In society, I felt that it was a pheasant school. After graduation, I was in military service, and I was thrown away by my girlfriend (this ex-girlfriend must have regretted it now...) When I arrived at Yida University, my English was not very effective, so it seemed that it was impossible to achieve something.

In the past two years in Yida, Ang Lee's greatest achievement may be that he found his future wife: Lin Huijia↓↓

Compared to Ang Lee's poor student, Lin Huijia is a top student. Her academic trajectory is: Beiyi Girl-National University-Doctor of Biology at the University of Illinois. Although he is not good-looking, he is very independent.

As for why academic masters fall in love with poor academics? The editor thinks that when Ang Lee was young, except for his poor study, he was the first-class person!

For example, it is very artistic ↓↓The appearance is very good, and the popularity among girls is also very good ↓↓ There are long legs↓↓

boys like this can make a living by their faces, but they just rely on their talents.

After graduating from Yida University, Ang Lee went to the Institute of Film Production of New York University (Tish School of Art). Once he arrived at the movie department, he seemed to have been reborn. When he was studying at NYU, he had already made 5 movies, all relying on his own work, his parents' support, and Lin Huijia's sponsorship. When

was filming the final graduation work "Division Line", it was still $8,000 short of it. When Ang Lee saw that there was only Lin Huijia's passbook by his side, he took it out and used it. Afterwards, he told Lin Huijia that the other party just said oh, indicating that he knew.

And Lee and Lin Huijia married in 1983. At that time, Ang Lee was still studying in NYU and was so poor that he was very poor. Lin Huijia worked as an assistant coach at Yida University and had a good income. On the day of the wedding, Ang Lee's parents rushed to New York from Taiwan. When they saw the eldest son of the Li family doing this, they felt very sad. My mother pulled her daughter-in-law and tears came down. She said at the time: Huijia, our Li family is sorry for you, it makes you so miserable when you get married.This scene later became the scene in Ang Lee's movie "Wedding Banquet" .

If you want to say that Lin Huijia doesn’t care at all, the editor thinks it is impossible. After graduating from Yida University, she moved to New York to live with Ang Lee. She had just given birth to her eldest son. Ang Lee lost her job directly after graduating from a master's degree, and her life was very difficult. Ang Lee later said that his wife almost didn't want to live anymore. Fortunately, she has an independent personality and soon became open: as long as she can live well at home, it will be OK.

He may not have expected that in the next 6 years, he would have done nothing and could only rely on his wife to support him.

was not very famous at the beginning, and there was no drama for him to direct, so he had to start by writing the script. I kept writing, revised it repeatedly, and all of them were difficult to produce, and there was no penny of royalty. Every once in a while, someone comes to say that your "Division Line" is very good, let's see how to cooperate. In this way, one plan died, the other plan came again, and his heart was broken countless times. His luck seemed to be particularly bad. Several dramas were planned to start filming, but they were even lost. . .

Fortunately, Lin Huijia has never forced him to go out to work, and she has only one sentence for her husband: leave him alone (please ignore him). Sometimes when Ang Lee is really depressed, she will encourage him to go out and do something, but it may not be a matter of making money.

1990 was Ang Lee’s lowest year. After six years of graduation, nothing was achieved, all the plans were dead and their spirits were wiped out. When a person just graduated, he can still talk about his ideals, but he still has the same feeling when he is in the fourth year. How can he say what feelings?

That year, Ang Lee's second son was also born, and his mother-in-law and father-in-law went to the United States to help. As soon as she got off the plane, Lin Huijia told the two elders not to mention filming, for fear that Ang Lee would not be able to stand it. During that time, Ang Lee cooked at home every day, and the hope of cooking a table of delicious food was blocked by the old man's mouth. One day, the mother-in-law couldn't help but say: Ang Lee, you are so good at cooking, can I invest in opening a restaurant for you?

The mood fell to the bottom. Ang Lee sometimes thought: Maybe I came to this world to pass on the family line. Maybe my son is a genius. Why do I have three years of good luck in beggars, but I don’t have it?

Look at the classmates around you. Some people do dramas or editing for their livelihood, but once the road goes wrong, it will go further and further away, making it difficult to return to the director's path. Moreover, in the United States, if you take on HBO TV series, you will say goodbye to the movie.

can only focus on writing scripts and fight to the end.

Just a few months after the plan was completely ruined, the scripts of " Promoter " and "Wedding Banquet" won awards in Taiwan. At that time, Ang Lee had already had his last tens of thousands of dollars, and he had only $43 in his bank passbook, and he couldn't even afford the air ticket to receive the award. Finally, he flew back to Taiwan by sending special funds.

Next, his fortune turned from the bottom.

filmed "Pushing Hands" in 24 days. Although he didn't make a penny, it officially opened at the age of 36. The first time someone called him a director ↓↓

Ang Lee was nominated for the Golden Horse Awards for Best Director for "Pushing Hands". One day, the directors formed a dinner party. He felt very sad while eating, because the food was so delicious, and his wife could not share it with her far away in the United States. At that time, he also talked about this mood with Wong Kar-wai sitting next to her. He had been holding it in for too long.

followed by "Wedding Banquet", which is also the only movie that Ang Lee has shown his face. He only has one line in it↓↓

"Wedding Banquet" won the Golden Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival at that time. From then on, Ang Lee no longer has to worry about money when making movies.

With money, you can make more and better movies and win more awards. Sometimes the turning point in your life is to go to the end.

More and more movies have come to him, not only Chinese, but also foreign language films. It was not until he finished filming 4 movies that he had the money to buy a house, and he dared to fill in the career column in the career column when filling out the form.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has been in three full years, and it was very difficult to film. In the end, he could not stand his own harshness and could only persevere by taking steroids and taking anti-pressure drugs. For the first time, he felt that he had crossed the top of the mountain and his physical strength was over. Fortunately, Oscar was not a blind man.On the day of the award ceremony, the family of four walked the red carpet together for the first time. Lin Huijia was still so calm↓↓

That year, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" won the Best Foreign Language Film, but Ang Lee failed to win the Best Director. He later said that the Oscar was the only time he prepared a speech for the best director, but he didn't get it. Lin Huijia hurriedly comforted him: It doesn’t matter, people should not be too greedy.

Oscars will be paid back twice. Just 4 years later, Ang Lee returned with " Brokeback Mountain ". This time the best director's shot was frozen on him↓↓

" Pi's Fantasy Drifting " won the Oscar for Best Director again. Speaking of which, the protagonist of the movie was a bit like Ang Lee when he was young↓↓

36, Ang Lee, who opened at the age of 36, always gives people the feeling of being impatient. A person has a long period of innocence, and sometimes it is not a bad thing. Just as Ang Lee said: People live so long, why are you so anxious?

However, the editor thinks that Ang Lee is still lucky. When he meets Lin Huijia, he can tolerate him in this year. For such a weird Aquarius wife, the editor is ready. . . Next time, eight! Waiting for the sequel~
