| 摘 要： | FOR a whole year one Chinese film has stood out in the minds of the media and critics. The Piano in a Factory won leading actor Wang Qianyuan the Best Actor award at the 23rd Tokyo International Film Festival in October 2010; in June 2011, it won a series of awards at the 14th Shanghai International Film Festival, and in September 2011 it also won the Huabiao Film Award. What astonishes everyone is that the total production cost was only RMB 6 million, a triumph that hints at what a nightmare the shooting was. At one point, director Zhang Meng had only RMB 47 in his pocket. He called on friends backstage to loan him money and walked out a minute later shouting "Ready, start!" as if everything was OK.
