Dreams of the Fragrant River

In October 1984, the vast majority of Hong Kongers were immersed in joy. [;Starting]

The Hang Seng Index, which has been hovering between 600 and 900, has soared like a rocket, and has exceeded 1,500 in late October. Investors who took advantage of the good news of the Sino-British initial agreement, once again experienced the excitement of the soaring stock market a few years ago, even those who followed the trend with hindsight can make a lot of money.

Although Hong Kong's property market has not recovered as fast as the stock market, land and property prices have also risen to the level of 30% before the property bubble burst, and may recover to more than 50% after the New Year's Day.

Seeing that the economy is about to come out of the downturn, Hong Kong citizens are naturally carnival, and even the number of moviegoers with major cinemas has risen by a lot.

Kang Jianfei's aggressive buying of land and properties at a low price has finally achieved initial results. The land and properties he purchased will appreciate at least 300 million Hong Kong dollars by New Year's Day.

While Kang Jianfei was preparing for his new film, Sidney Pollack, an old guy, acted very fast. After getting Kang Jianfei's promise, he finally persuaded Universal Pictures to invest in his humanities documentary.

In the end, there were three film companies jointly shooting, of which Universal Pictures invested 10 million US dollars, Kang Jianfei invested 8 million in Oriental Film Company, a leather bag company in the United States, and irae-company invested 5 million US dollars.

If the budget of 23 million US dollars is not enough, Pollack can only apply for additional investment in the middle, or he can find other investment companies to join. Many big directors in Hollywood have this problem. They seriously overspend halfway through the filming. In the end, the original investment company refused to spend any more money, so the director had to rely on the three-inch tongue to find another sponsor.

Don't look at the Hollywood giants of later generations. Universal Pictures and Paramount are the best at this time. It is more difficult to get MGM or 20th Century Fox to spend 10 million US dollars to invest in documentaries.

In the 1970s, the American film industry was still called the Big Eight of Hollywood, but in the 1980s, it became the Big Seven. Just three years ago, two soon-to-be-defunct giants, MGM and Lianmei, merged to form the "MGM-Lianmei" company. Barely it can be regarded as a powerful alliance, but the giant's share of the film market in North America is only a pitiful 6%.

As for 20th Century Fox, which cooperated happily with Kang Jianfei, it is also lingering on, even if it is supported by a series of pressure boxes, it still cannot get rid of the shadow of bankruptcy.

From a macro perspective, the 1970s was actually a period of decline for Hollywood, and it did not flourish again until the 1980s. However, this prosperity is manifested by the rapid development of cutting-edge film companies such as New Line, Canocco, Samsung, and Castle Rock (producer). Although the overall film market is prospering rapidly, half of the eight Hollywood giants are still living. sad.

Now that both MGM-Lianmei and 20th Century Fox are looking for buyers, it won't be long before MGM will be acquired by their parent company. 20th Century Fox was bought by Murdoch.

Kang Jianfei's current net worth is about 2.8 billion Hong Kong dollars. Barely able to mobilize about 500 million funds. Sounds like a very rich man. But his money is still too little to convert into US dollars. If he wants to buy MGM or 20th Century Fox, Kang Jianfei will mortgage all his assets, maybe he can barely be a major shareholder.

"...When the oil in the dry pan is 50% hot. Put in the spare ribs and fry for about 10 seconds, then switch to low heat and fry, wait for the spare ribs to solidify and float on the oil, and then take them out..."

There is a food show on the TV. Qiu Huixin, who won the runner-up in the first Miss Oriental beauty pageant, is wearing an apron and teaching everyone how to make Cantonese-style sweet and sour pork ribs.

In order to increase the fun of the show, a second- and third-tier star will be invited as a guest in each issue.

The guests of this issue are Chen Jialing and Fu Mingxian, who have just emerged as a result.

Chen Jialing is 17 years old this year, the younger sister of Chen Xiuwen, the first sister of Phoenix TV, and Fu Mingxian is only 14 years old.

The two beautiful girls are charming girls who usually never do housework. At this time, I was in a hurry in the kitchen, either frying the ribs or putting too much vinegar, and even slaughtering the ribs all over the floor like fighting a war, making a lot of jokes.

"A Fei, look at the time. The TV said to fry for 5 minutes on a low fire!" Zhong Chuhong in the kitchen shouted.

Kang Jianfei couldn't remember when she put the ribs in the pot, so he could only respond casually: "It's been almost five minutes."

Zhong Chuhong hurriedly picked up the ribs and asked, "What's the next step?"

"It's like pouring sauce and stir frying." Kang Jianfei's attention was on the beauties on TV, and he directly missed several steps.

More than ten minutes later, Zhong Chuhong came out with a plate of black things, smiled and said to Kang Jianfei, "Would you like to try it?"

Kang Jianfei hesitantly took a piece and stuffed it into his mouth. The taste was so strange that he couldn't describe it in words. Facing Zhong Chuhong's smiling face, he had to forcefully swallow the meat, and gave a thumbs up comment: "The taste is great, but the level is still low. There is room for improvement, and we will make persistent efforts in the future!"

"Is it really delicious? It seems that I am still very talented as a chef." Zhong Chuhong said happily, "I learned all my cooking skills from my mother, so she can't make sweet and sour pork ribs. Come on, let's do it again. Eat a piece!"

Zhong Chuhong put a piece of spareribs into Kang Jianfei's mouth, and **** Feiqiang endured the tumult in his stomach and ate it with relish. Seeing that Zhong Chuhong was going to take it again, he quickly said, "Well, it's not good to eat too much sweets. Let's eat it later."

Zhong Chuhong took advantage of the situation to sit in Kang Jianfei's arms, twisted a piece of spareribs with his scallion-like fingers, stood up with a "vomit" as soon as it was put into his mouth, and quickly rushed to the bathroom.

After a rush of water, Zhong Chuhong walked back to the living room angrily. Seeing Kang Jianfei grinning badly, she couldn't help laughing, and said, "It's hard for you to still eat it."

Kang Jianfei pulled Zhong Chuhong over and hugged her, and rubbed her face to face affectionately, "What you make is delicious, even if it's poison."

"No truth." Zhong Chuhong scolded with a smile.

Kang Jianfei's magic hand stroked Zhong Chuhong's thigh, and suddenly said, "Qiu Hui knew the heartthrob lady, and once promised to make a film for her. I've been having a headache and I should make a film for her. What TV show is it, your sweet and sour pork ribs reminded me."

Zhong Chuhong asked curiously, "What TV series is related to sweet and sour pork ribs?"

"Of course it's a cooking TV series," Kang Jianfei said while pondering. "There are almost no TV series with the theme of cooking in Hong Kong. It will definitely make people's eyes shine when they are filmed. You can put the story in modern Hong Kong. The successor of the chef went to the south to escape the disaster, and spread branches in Hong Kong, Singapore and the United States.

The heroine played by Qiu Huixin, whose father-in-law and husband are the descendants of the master chef, opened a family-style restaurant in Singapore. Suddenly one day, the hotel was robbed by a mysterious man with a trick, and the in-laws, husband, and son also died in a car accident. Only Qiu Huixin survived. When she was packing up her family's belongings, she learned that her husband also had an uncle in Hong Kong, so she decided to come to Hong Kong to learn cooking from his uncle.

After Qiu Huixin came to Hong Kong. Only then did she realize that the address in her hand was decades ago. The uncle's family had long since not known where they had moved. House seemingly endless rain. Qiu Huixin was robbed while walking on the street, her money and documents were robbed, she could only live on the street with no money, and finally entered a small restaurant to work as a dishwasher.

Qiu Huixin soon discovered that the owner of this small restaurant was a skilled cook. And the boss's son also likes Qiu Huixin, and the plot in the middle is naturally inspiring and warm. In the end, Qiu Huixin realized that the boss was exactly the uncle she was looking for, so she officially worshipped him as a teacher to learn cooking.

Just when everything was going in a good direction, the hero's mother discovered the ambiguous relationship between the two and did not want her son to marry an older widow. The means to drive Qiu Huixin to leave.

Just when Qiu Huixin did not dare to be humiliated and was about to leave the restaurant. Suddenly she saw her enemy appear. It turned out that the enemy who killed her in-laws and her husband was the descendant of the genius chef who went to the United States to develop. In order to get a recipe left by the genius chef, after repeated requests for forced purchases but failed, he finally planned to kill her father-in-law. and husband. The villain didn't get what he wanted. So I came to Hong Kong again and wanted to get the recipe from the hero's father.

Qiu Huixin hurriedly informed the hero and his father, worried that they would be assassinated by the villain, but they were considered by the hero's mother to confuse the public. Because in order to get the recipe, the villain actually asked his beautiful daughter to seduce the hero. The hero's mother naturally hopes that his son can marry the daughter of a rich American, rather than marrying an unlucky widow.

The villain's daughter originally came purely for the recipe. Unexpectedly, she fell in love with the hero who was brave, smart, and skilled in cooking. So the plot was involved in a love triangle in the open and secret struggle.

The final outcome is naturally that the good guys win and the bad guys are unlucky. The heroine Qiu Huixin also learned to cook, took back her husband's family restaurant, and finally lived happily with the hero. "

Listening to Kang Jianfei babbling out the plot of the TV series, Zhong Chuhong looked at him in surprise and asked, "Is this what you thought of just now?"

"I figured it out when I watched the food show just now." Kang Jianfei said proudly, because these plots are indeed his original. There is still only a general framework, as for the details of the script, it will be supplemented by professional screenwriters.

Although there are many unreasonable aspects of this story, it brings together various elements of viewership that it should have. As long as it is filmed well, it will definitely attract audiences.

Zhong Chuhong likes talented men. For example, her husband Zhu Jiading in Yuan Shikong is a talented man. When the two started dating, Zhu Jiading hadn't opened his own advertising company yet. Zhong Chuhong rejected the pursuit of countless wealthy sons and only chose the talented Zhu Jiading.

Kang Jianfei found a pen and paper to write down the outline of the plot. The ugly Chinese characters fell on the paper, but in Zhong Chuhong's eyes, they were charming. He felt that Kang Jianfei was the most handsome at this time.

Lying on the side, watching Kang Jianfei finish writing the story~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Zhong Chuhong asked, "A Fei, now many people are urging your new novel, when are you going to write it?"

When it comes to the new book, Kang Jianfei is extremely ashamed. It has been seven or eight months since the beginning of the year. The editor-in-chief Xu Jixin has urged the draft countless times, and was so anxious that he wanted to hack Kang Jianfei to death.

"We have found someone to write the ghostwriting." Kang Jianfei said.

"Why do you need someone to ghostwrite?" Zhong Chuhong asked strangely.

Kang Jianfei sighed and said, "I don't have the time to write it myself. I can only write the outline of the plot and ask for ghostwriting. Now that the novel has already got the details, it will be serialized in the newspaper in a few days."

Zhong Chuhong asked, "What's the name of the new novel?"

Kang Jianfei smiled and said, "Keep it a secret for now."

"It's fine if you don't say it... uh." Zhong Chuhong pursed her lips, and before she could get angry, Kang Jianfei pressed her down and kissed her warmly.
