Dreams of the Fragrant River

Zeng Bolin looked at his watch, walked over to Kang Jianfei and reminded him, "Boss, the performance of the Shaolin Monk Troupe is about to start, and there are still 45 minutes left. I have you all the way!"

"I see." Kang Jianfei replied casually. He was still holding a sleeping baby boy in his arms. He swiped his fingers on the baby's deflectable face. The return of a lot of milk.

"Okay, go and help you, don't wake An An again." Zhao Yazhi snatched the child from Kang Jianfei's arms with a motherly smile on his face.

Zhao Yazhi and his son have been discharged from the hospital for two days, and the child's name is not yet available, but Zhao Yazhi has given his son the nickname "An An" on his own initiative, hoping that his son can grow up safely.

"Then I'll go first." Kang Jian kissed Zhao Yazhi's forehead.

"Go." Zhao Yazhi said with a smile, her attention now completely turned to her son.

It only took half an hour to go from Zhao Yazhi's house to the Taiping Theater. The more than 2,000 seats in the theater were almost full when Kang Jian flew over.

Since Jin Yong's martial arts novels became popular, the Shaolin Temple that often appeared in the novels has also been widely known. In the streets and alleys of Hong Kong, even Aunt Abo knows that there is a Shaolin Temple in He/nan.

The news that the abbot of Shaolin Temple personally led a team to Hong Kong for religious exchanges has frequently appeared in Hong Kong newspapers these days. Of course, what people pay attention to is not the exchange of Dharma, but the performance of the Shaolin monk team.

For decades, everyone has watched Shaolin Kungfu in novels and film and television works, and now there is the opportunity to witness live performances, which is more attractive than many singers' concerts.

The Shaolin Temple's martial arts performances were held for three consecutive nights. Tonight's first performance invited many famous people, and even the Governor of Hong Kong, Wei Yixin, agreed to attend. In addition, there were Hong Jinbao, Cheng Long, Jet Li, Liu Jialiang, Hui Yinghong, etc. star.

Kang Jianfei's position was in the first row, and two seats away was Hong Kong Governor David Wilson, and Hong Jinbao and Cheng Long were not far from each other.

In addition to social celebrities, the abbots of Hong Kong Man Mo Temple, Wan Fo Temple, Po Lam Chan Temple and other temples also came to attend tonight's performance of martial arts monks.

"Boss, do you want to say hello to the Governor of Hong Kong?" Zeng Bolin whispered to Kang Jianfei's ear.

Kang Jianfei didn't speak, just walked towards Wei Yixin with a smile, and when the other party noticed him, he stretched out his hand with a smile: "Hello, Mr. Hong Kong Governor."

"It turned out to be Mr. Kang, but I've always wanted to meet you." David Wilson spoke Cantonese very smoothly. This old guy came to Hong Kong 28 years ago to learn Chinese, and then went to Beijing/Beijing to work, and can communicate in Mandarin and Cantonese.

Kang Jianfei and David Wilson had met before, when the former Hong Kong Governor was alive, but they didn't communicate much at that time.

After Kang Jianfei shook hands with the Hong Kong Governor, he smiled and said, "Mr. Wilson, you are dealing with all kinds of opportunities, naturally it is rare to see you."

Monk Yongxin is also a second person. Seeing Kang Jianfei chatting with the Governor of Hong Kong, he immediately ran over to join in the fun and said, "Yeah, Patron Wei can take time out of his busy schedule to watch the performance of Shaolin monks, and make poor monks deeply Proud."

Wei Yixin saw that Kang Jianfei and Monk Yongxin were standing very close and seemed to have a good relationship. He asked, "Do Mr. Kang and Mr. Yongxin know each other?"

Monk Yongxin said, "If the Shaolin Temple can come to Hong Kong for exchange, we need to help Mr. Kang."

"I'm just a matchmaker by the way." Kang Jianfei laughed.

Kang Jianfei's help is more than that. A few years ago, the Shaolin Temple was still in ruins, and the reconstruction and restoration of the temple were all funded by Kang Jianfei. Even Yongxin has brought the team of monks from Hong Kong. At least half of them are members of the Hu Juncai Wushu School, and they belong to the true bald fake monks.

Without Kang Jianfei's capital investment, Monk Yongxin is still arranging Shaolin classics in the ancient paper pile, and it will take at least a year or two to establish a monk group.

Kang Jianfei and Wei Yixin chatted for a while, the two talked about some experiences in Beijing/Beijing, and chatted about Shaolin Kungfu for a while before Kang Jianfei returned to his seat.

"Mr. Kang." Seeing Kang Jian flying over, Jet Li nodded and greeted him.

"Yeah." Kang Jianfei also nodded.

Hong Jinbao glanced sideways at Kang Jianfei, then looked back at the stage again, without speaking to Cheng Long beside him.

There is no movie by Kang Jianfei in this summer, but no movie by Hong Jinbao. Hong Jinbao's performance last year was average, and his career was obviously going downhill, while Cheng Long was winning consecutive battles, and there was also a rift between the brothers and sisters.

Because it was a performance by a team of warrior monks, Monk Yongxin sent invitation letters to famous Hong Kong kung fu stars and many martial artists. Cheng Long and Hong Jinbao both came for the name of Shaolin Temple and have nothing to do with Kang Jianfei. The two film companies are in a competitive relationship. If both parties are actors, they can still be friends in private, but Kang Jianfei is the boss of DreamWorks. Hong It is not convenient for Jin Bao and Cheng Long to have more contact with Kang Jianfei.

When the lights in the auditorium of the theater went dark, the master of ceremonies ran out and said a few words, followed by a sound of drum beats. All the members of the monk troupe came out with sticks and started the dancers Shaolin stick formation.

"what!"

The monks shouted in unison, and threw a stick curtain and smashed it on the floor of the stage. Tonight's martial arts performance was officially started.

Liu Jialiang, as the eldest of Liu's family, came today with several brothers. At this moment, he only saw a few tricks and shook his head in disappointment. He studied hard bridge and hard horse southern kung fu from elementary school. When he grew up, he also studied various martial arts. His basic skills were extremely solid. At a glance, he could see that at least one third of the members of this so-called Shaolin monk team had basic skills. Not too far.

It's not worth it, this is the consensus of all the insiders present. After all, the Shaolin monk team has only been formed for a few years, and many people have only become monks halfway after watching "Shaolin Temple".

Let the Shaolin Temple develop for another ten years, and then it will be more powerful, at least not for experts to see jokes.

Experts watch the door, laymen watch the excitement, but most of the audience at the scene thought that the monks played well and felt that the Shaolin Temple was well-deserved.

After that, the individual routine performances were still exciting. Several of the monks were recruited from martial arts teams from all over the country. They are currently the coaches of Hu Juncai's Shaolin Wushu School. Team, no one knows the details of a shaved head anyway.

The skills of these few people are very slippery, especially the routines are extremely pleasing to the eye, even Liu Jialiang and other martial arts people can not help but sincerely applaud, and finally win some face for the Shaolin monk team.

After the performance, the invited celebrities took a group photo with the monks. Kang Jianfei walked up to the monk Yongxin and said, "Master, if you lead the team to go out for martial arts exchanges next time, those who have only practiced for two or three years should not come. , all replaced by the coach of the martial arts school."

Monk Yongxin has also practiced boxing, but he only knows a little bit of kung fu, so he asked, "Is there a problem with tonight's performance?"

Kang Jianfei said: "It's just a small problem, but Hong Kong people's expectations for Shaolin Kungfu are too high. Tonight's performance disappointed the martial arts practitioners here."

"Oh." Monk Yongxin nodded. In his eyes, what Kang Jianfei said was really just a small problem. He came to Hong Kong to promote the Shaolin Temple, as long as the monks' performances can fool ordinary people, it is impossible for those trainees to dismantle him. It doesn't matter if they are disappointed or not.

The performance of Shaolin monks was performed at Taiping Theater for five consecutive days, and the attendance rate every night reached more than 90%, which was really more popular than the concert of small stars.

Some newspapers in Hong Kong are also reporting on this, which caused a wave of Shaolin Kung Fu in a short period of time, which increased the number of Hong Kong tourists to the mainland in the second half of the year~www.wuxiaspot.com~ followed by the release of "Red Sorghum" , The film exploded at the box office in the mainland, and won an international award in Berlin. The publicity is still very powerful.

However, ordinary Hong Kong audiences really don’t like this style. The Oriental Cinema Line initially lined up 10 theaters twice a day. The average attendance rate on the first day was 73, which is a very good figure. However, most of the audience who watched "Red Sorghum" felt that they were being promoted as a scam, which led to a steady decline in "Red Sorghum"'s reputation among the audience, and the average attendance rate dropped below 50% the next day.

Only 6 days after it was released, "Red Sorghum" was forced to be released in the Oriental Cinema, and the box office was only 2.14 million. This box office data is also thanks to those audiences who were tricked in by the publicity on the first day.

Although it failed at the box office, "Red Sorghum" received extremely high praise from film critics, and it was typically applauded but not well received. In addition, the hero and heroine Jiang Wen and Gong Li are familiar to many Hong Kong movie fans. As for the film's director Lao Mouzi, Hong Kong people have no impression at all.

Shortly after the completion of "Red Sorghum", news came out that its heroine Gong Li will star in Kang Jianfei's next film, and her partner is Zhou Xingchi, who has become a star. RS
