Dreams of the Fragrant River

After returning home from the retest at Oriental Entertainment Company, Lizhi stared at the phone in the living room in a daze. [;Starting] She doesn't have to be an actor and star, and she's not very fanatical about acting. Whether it's going to the New Art City for an audition, or applying for the Future Star training class, it's just for the sake of getting ahead, and she's not willing to be laughed at again.

"Azhi, it's time to eat!" The stepmother came out holding the bowl and chopsticks and shouted to Lizhi, who was in a sleepwalking state.

"Come on." Lizhi came back to her senses and walked over to help her stepmother set the dishes.

Lizhi's biological parents were both top students at the Shanghai/Shanghai Theatre Academy, and they divorced when she was three years old. Lizhi's relationship with her stepmother was not very harmonious. When she was seven or eight years old, she even ran away from home in a fit of anger. She traveled to several cities along the railway line, and asked strangers for food and drink on the train.

As she grew up, Lizhi became a lot more obedient. Although her relationship with her stepmother was not very good, she still maintained harmony on the surface.

Lizhi's father travels all the year round, and usually only the mother and daughter eat.

The stepmother brought rice and asked with concern, "Did you go to the training class of DreamWorks to take the retest today?"

Lizhi didn't want to speak, she just closed her mouth and said "um".

The stepmother asked again, "Have you passed the exam?"

Lizhi doesn't like this stepmother very much, but she has been discriminated against since she came to Hong Kong, so her stepmother has always been good to her, which has eased the relationship between the two. Lizhi took a mouthful of rice with chopsticks and stuffed it into her mouth, and said wholeheartedly, "I don't know, I'll have to wait two or three days to hear the news."

The step-mother said earnestly: "Being an actor is a meal of youth, and there is no guarantee that you will become popular. Haven't you passed your tefl exam? In my opinion. It is both decent and financially secure for a big company to be a white-collar worker in an office.”

"Hmm." Li Zhi hummed again. She was also very excited when she first came to Hong Kong two years ago. But it didn't take long to find that Hong Kong was not as beautiful as she imagined. Even working as a salesperson in a furniture store would be laughed at by customers as "Beigu". As for studying in the United States, it was just a choice for Lizhi to escape reality. She was very worried that after going to the United States, she would be worse off than in Hong Kong.

Lizhi's stepmother didn't say more, and the mother and daughter ate dinner quietly.

"Jingle Bell……"

The phone in the living room rang.

"Maybe it was your father who called back." The stepmother said to answer the phone, "Hey, ah, hello... Oriental Entertainment Company? Oh, you're looking for Azhi. Please wait a moment."

The stepmother trotted over. He asked in a low voice, "Azhi. There is Mr. Zhang from the Oriental Entertainment Company looking for you."

"Really Oriental Entertainment Company?" Lizhi asked suspiciously. She felt that her re-examination was completely useless, and she didn't know what to do with the phone over there. And even if you are admitted. It's impossible to call tonight to inform you, it has to be tomorrow morning at the latest.

The stepmother nodded and said, "It's the Oriental Entertainment Company. What does this company do?"

Lizhi was too lazy to explain to her, so she walked over and picked up the phone, only to hear Zhang Guozhong say, "Hello, Miss Li, I am Zhang Guozhong, the examiner in charge of today's re-examination. Please go to Oriental DreamWorks to find Mr. Kang Jianfei 11 days before tomorrow morning."

"Kang Jianfei?" Lizhi asked in surprise, "Have I been admitted to the training class?"

Zhang Guozhong said very predictably: "It has nothing to do with the training class. I don't know why Mr. Kang wants to see you. It may be because you think you are suitable for a certain role. I hope you can seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Chance."

It had been a long time since the call had been hung up over there, and Lizhi was still standing there in surprise, listening to the phone.

"What's wrong?" the stepmother asked.

Lizhi put down the phone, calmed down and said, "It seems that Kang Jianfei wants to see me."

"Kang Jianfei!?" Lizhi's stepmother exclaimed, her surprise was no less than Lizhi's party.

In the eyes of mainlanders who have only moved to Hong Kong in recent years, the most famous and dazzling figures in Hong Kong are neither rich people such as Li Ka-shing and Bao Yugang, nor big stars such as Zhou Runfa and Zhao Yazhi, but only a few short years. Kang Jianfei, who started from scratch and broke into a huge fortune.

Why?

Because Kang Jianfei came to Hong Kong around the same time as them, everyone started from the same starting point, and his road to prosperity is simply amazing. There may be people who are jealous, but more is admiration and admiration. Kang Jianfei has indeed become a role model for many people today, inspiring those new Hong Kongers who are still in predicament to work hard for tomorrow.

Every year, Hong Kong selects the top ten outstanding young people. Kang Jianfei's voice has always been very high, and his die-hard supporters are these new Hongkongers.

Many of them are even stowaways.

Lizhi's stepmother was afraid that her daughter would be deceived. When she heard that she wanted to see Kang Jianfei, she immediately felt relieved and asked, "What did Mr. Kang see you doing?"

Lizhi thought for a while and said, "I don't know, I should have failed the re-examination of today's training class. Maybe because I came from the mainland, Mr. Kang wanted to give me a chance."

...

...

Lizhi was lying behind the window of the double-decker bus, silently observing the bustling street scene in Hong Kong. She always felt that she did not belong to Hong Kong and was out of tune with everything here.

In the distance is a street advertisement. The content is the news that the Happy Girls Group will hold a concert at the Hung Hom Stadium next week. Tickets for the concert are now on pre-sale.

The Red Pavilion was built just last month, costing a total of more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars. Last night, Xu Guanjie held a solo concert in the Red Pavilion, becoming the first singer to sing here since the Red Pavilion was completed.

Xu Guanjie's concert was huge, and it was held three times in the Red Pavilion. Art City even postponed the time to go to France for the filming.

Today's headlines in the entertainment pages of major newspapers are Xu Guanjie's concert in the Red Pavilion. Xu Guanjie's fame in the music world has temporarily surpassed all singers such as Xu Xiaofeng, Teresa Teng, and Alan Tam.

Due to Kang Jianfei's "preference", under the operation of the popular record company, the Happy Girls Group followed closely, and will soon become the first music group to hold a concert in the Red Pavilion.

Although the concert is still a week away, the pre-sale tickets have already been snapped up by enthusiastic fans. Most of these fans are under the age of 20. The average age is only 15 years old, and many students skip classes with schoolbags to buy advance tickets, making schools and parents a mess.

Whether it is Xu Guanjie or the Happy Girls Group, it has nothing to do with Lizhi. She is just an ordinary salesperson and doesn't pay much attention to Hong Kong singers.

When the bus stopped, Lizhi asked all the way to the downstairs of DreamWorks, and it took a long time to find Chen Shuli, Kang Jianfei's secretary.

"Are you Miss Lizhi?" Chen Shuli glanced at Lizhi curiously, and then smiled, "Please wait a moment, Mr. Kang is meeting guests."

Lizhi nodded and looked inside curiously, but the closed shutters blocked her view and she couldn't see anything.

...

in the office. Kang Jianfei's guest was Zhang Moren, the manager of the Taiping Theater. The old man was still in that old suit. It seems that he never changes his clothes.

Kang Jianfei said: "I heard news that Shao Yifu is going to sell the Shaw Cinemas."

Zhang Moren asked with a smile, "Do you want to buy it?"

Kang Jianfei nodded and said, "If he has this plan, it depends on whether his price is reasonable."

Zhang Moren shook his head and said, "There's no need for that. Shao Yifu hasn't given up on movies, so the four leading theaters in his hands are only rented but not sold. Among these cinemas, except for two or three cinemas in better locations, there is nothing special about them. Buying from Shao Yifu is better than renting a house or buying a new cinema, at least the equipment is older than Shaw Brothers’ The theater is much better."

Kang Jianfei thought for a moment and said, "That's it. After Shao Yifu announces the sale of the theaters, we will grab those theaters in good locations."

Zhang Moren asked, "The owner is going to open a theater company?"

Kang Jianfei sighed: "The cinema chain in the new era is scattered, and the chain is always broken at critical times. I have to make other plans. My plan for the newly opened cinema chain company is to have 20 cinemas. Of course, I want you to be the general manager. to do it."

Zhang Moren shook his head and said, "I'm getting old, so I can manage several theaters, but I can't keep up with one theater chain."

"I'll find you a deputy, you just need to manage the general direction of operations." Kang Jianfei thought of the ugly man Cen Jianxun he saw a few days ago. This guy is the best candidate for the vice president of the theater chain.

"That's fine," Zhang Moren said after thinking for a while, "but Shao Yifu's sale of the theater must wait for Shaw Brothers to stop production, at least at the end of this year or next year. Should we talk to New Era first? Some theater businessmen should discuss it first, and then directly join or lease their theaters and incorporate them into our new theater chain."

Kang Jianfei said: "Among the cinema chains of the new era, the four cinemas of Anle Films are definitely not with us. Among the more than ten cinemas left, only five are medium-sized ones that I can see, and the other small cinemas are nothing. mean."

Zhang Moren discussed: "That's it, we have four leading theaters in our own hands, and then we can draw five second-rate theaters from the new era theater chain, and Shaw Brothers can probably buy three good locations, so there are 12 There is a theater. The rest can either rent the four leading theaters that Shao Yifu refuses to sell, or find a good location to build a new theater.”

"I know about the construction of the new theater. You don't have to worry about it." Kang Jianfei smiled mysteriously. He was always paying attention to the Beijing/Beijing side. The second round of Sino-British negotiations will end in two months. Hong Kong's stock market and property market have to fall again.

Since the end of last year~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Hong Kong's property market and stock market have been slowly recovering, and the Hang Seng Index has risen from more than 600 points to more than 800 points now. It is estimated that the Hang Seng Index may once again break through the 900-point mark after rising for another two months.

But now all Hong Kong people have become frightened birds. Once unfavorable news comes out of the Sino-British negotiation, the stock market and property market will immediately avalanche, and they will fall even more tragically than last year.

Zhang Moren said, "Since the owner has already made plans, I will contact the five theaters in the New Era Cinema Line first."

Kang Jianfei revealed some news: "I'm going to buy a house and build a movie theater myself, Lao Zhang, you can help me choose some suitable places on Hong Kong Island and Kowloon."

"Okay." Zhang Moren replied very competently.

The two discussed for more than ten minutes before Zhang Mocai left with a document, and Lizhi, who had been waiting for a long time, pushed the door open.
