Dreams of the Fragrant River

Villa 1, Repulse Bay Road.

The iron gate, which was usually closed, was open, and from time to time luxury cars drove up, handed invitations, and drove into the villa.

Today is a good day for the 29th anniversary of the foundation of Macau Tourism and Entertainment Company, the foundation of Ho Gambler, but the He family held a dinner not only for this, but mainly to celebrate Ho Gambler's bid to win the largest development project in Macau in decades - Nanwan Artificial lake development plan.

He Chaoqiong was very beautiful tonight, wearing a long white lady's dress, her hair was rolled up in a high bun, and her necklace was dazzling with a huge heart-shaped diamond, which contrasted with her flawless white breasts.

Compared with He Chaoqiong's dazzling dress, Kang Jianfei is much more casual. No matter what formal banquet occasion he was attending, he went out wearing a casual suit and no tie.

If an ordinary businessman dressed like this to attend a rich banquet, he would definitely be laughed at as a hillbilly or a tasteless upstart. But Kang Jianfei is the newly promoted richest man in Hong Kong, the second largest shareholder of Hollywood giant Paramount, and a tycoon in the entertainment industry. It is absolutely impossible for him to not even understand the rules of dressing.

So Kang Jianfei dressed like this, which can be explained by his free and easy temperament.

When Kang Jianfei and He Chaoqiong arrived, a lot of people had gathered in the banquet hall, and they formed a small circle in twos and threes to chat. As soon as the two came to the scene, they attracted a lot of attention. One was the richest man in Hong Kong, and the other was the daughter of the gambling king. It was hard not to attract attention.

Gambling King He was chatting with several male guests, and the fourth wife, Liang Anqi, was standing beside him. When he saw Kang Jianfei and his wife coming, he smiled and waved: "A Fei, pansy, come over and see some uncles."

He Chaoqiong took Kang Jian and walked over, nodding his head and saying, "Good morning, Father, Good morning, Uncle Zheng!"

He Gambling King did not introduce the "Uncle Zheng" in He Chaoqiong's mouth. Instead, he first introduced another man who was over fifty years old: "A Fei, this is Chen Yuanguo, Vice President Chen of the Nanwan Development Company." After speaking, He Gambling added another sentence. "Vice President Chen is also a mainlander."

"It turned out to be Vice President Chen, and I have long admired the name. Hello!" Kang Jianfei came over instantly, knowing that Chen Yuanguo was the Chinese person in charge of the Nanwan Lake project.

Nam Van Lake is not just a man-made lake, but a reclamation project in Macau to create a commercial tourism center. The project is planned to be completed in three phases, with a total investment of US$1.4 billion, and He Gambling Wang only holds 40% of the shares. The remaining investors include Hong Kong jewelry king Zheng Yutong, as well as investments from Portugal and mainland China.

For He Gambling King, the Nanwan Lake project is not just about making money. Its political implications are more important to him, and this is the first time he has directly cooperated with Chinese capital.

In fact, three years ago, He Gambling King was recognized by the Chinese side. At that time, the Sino-Portuguese negotiation had just ended. He Gambling took the initiative to donate an antique boxwood Dharma statue to the Forbidden City. Later, he was appointed by the central government as the deputy director of the Macau Basic Law Drafting Committee and the deputy director of the Special Administrative Region Preparatory Committee. This can be regarded as a reassurance for He Gambling King, but due to lack of trust, he continues to allocate funds to invest in Canada, and is ready to run away at any time.

In this Nanwan Lake project, He Gambler finally had business cooperation with the Chinese side, which made him feel more at ease than the position of deputy director.

"I have long admired Mr. Kang. I heard about Mr. Kang's deeds in the mainland," Chen Yuanguo smiled at He Gambling King, "Mr. He's eyes are like torches. He hired a good son-in-law."

"It's rare for young people to be aggressive." He Gambling Wang nodded, he was obviously proud of recruiting the richest man's son-in-law, but he appeared to be neither salty nor bland.

The Gambling King He also introduced: "This is Mr. Zheng Yutong, the jeweller."

Kang Jianfei shook hands with Zheng Yutong and said, "Hello Mr. Zheng."

"Not bad, really a young talent." Zheng Yutong sincerely praised. Kang Jianfei has accumulated a net worth of more than 30 billion Hong Kong dollars in just 12 years, which makes Zheng Yutong, who has become rich in industry and real estate, amazed.

He Gambling King also introduced two Portuguese ghosts, one is the official representative of the Portuguese-Australian government, and the other is the Portuguese representative of the Nanwan Company.

This is Kang Jianfei's first public appearance as the son-in-law of the gambling king. The gambling king walked around the banquet hall with Kang Jianfei and He Chaoqiong, and solemnly introduced him to some important figures.

Although Kang Jianfei is known as the richest man in Hong Kong. But it's still just a newcomer in Hong Kong's rich circle, or he is busy with his career and women. Never fit into that circle.

Kang Jianfei is not interested in joining that circle either, he is in the entertainment industry. There is no shortage of money to invest, and there is no need to deal with those rich people.

But there are exceptions, such as Ye Deli, the uncle of He Chaoqiong, the famous playboy. Legend has it that this old gentleman made more than 100 girlfriends, and he was surrounded by many confidantes after a lot of age. The most sensational thing he has ever done is not to open a casino or something, but when he was on vacation in Mexico 7 years ago, he invited 52 ex-girlfriends, their husbands and children to celebrate his 70th birthday together, and each guest received a gift Generous gifts.

Sturdy life without explanation.

At this moment, Mr. Ye, who is 77 years old, is still holding a tender model in his 20s. Perhaps it was because he had heard of Kang Jianfei's romantic reputation. Ye Deli was very kind to Kang Jianfei. If it weren't for the fact that there were others around, it was estimated that the two of them had already talked about the experience of picking up girls.

He Gambling King only helped Kang Jianfei to introduce those wealthy people of the older generation, the younger ones or those who were underweight, and the brothers and sisters He Chaoqiong and He Chaoxiong helped to introduce them.

"This is Mr. Zheng Jiachun, the eldest son of Mr. Zheng."

"This is Mr. Du Huikai, general manager of New World Hotel."

"This is Ms. Bao Beili, the daughter of the charter king."

"Who is this……"

After half an hour, Kang Jianfei got to know some Hong Kong's rich generation, rich second generation, rich third generation and young talents.

Although these people's attitude towards Kang Jianfei is very enthusiastic, but there is still a difference between careful observation, some are really enthusiastic, and some are fake. They each have their own circles, and after getting to know each other, they are only polite.

Until the music started, Kang Jianfei took He Chaoqiong's hand and danced for a while, and then he had time to sit down and drink something.

The fourth wife, Liang Anqi, who was originally just beside Gambling King He, became the center of the dance floor at this time, with her beautiful appearance and elegant and moving materials. It caused many men to glance at her intentionally or unintentionally.

"This Si Yiniang's dancing skills are pretty good." Kang Jianfei said with a smile while drinking red wine.

He Chaoqiong was obviously disgusted with the fourth concubine of the gambling king, and said with a cold snort, "It's just a fox."

The fourth wife, Liang Anqi, used to be a dancer in the Guangzhou Art Troupe. five years ago. She seized the opportunity to sneak into a private dance, and a dance fascinated He Gambling King. She officially started her career as a fourth concubine two years ago.

Since the fourth concubine started to enter, the gambling king has put his energy on her, attending dances, banquets, etc., and the fourth concubine is always by his side.

At this time, the fourth concubine Liang Anqi was dancing with a young man in his 30s. The dance skills of both of them were very good. Gradually, everyone else stopped beside them and admired the dance of the two.

At the end of the song, Liang Anqi bowed to the audience very elegantly and gave a ladylike salute. The audience responded with warm applause.

Gambling King He was also applauding vigorously. When he saw his fourth wife dancing with other men, he was not jealous at all, but was happy because his woman became the focus.

"Baby, you dance so well!" He Gambling King praised.

After a while, when the dance music played again, a middle-aged man came over and stretched out his hand, and said, "Miss He, are you lucky enough to dance together?"

He Chaoqiong looked at Kang Jianfei and nodded slightly when she saw him. Then he stood up and smiled and said, "Please."

The young man nodded politely to Kang Jianfei, and then went to dance with He Chaoqiong.

Kang Jianfei feels very bored, if there is a suitable hunting object on the scene. He would certainly be delighted to ask others to dance. But there are only two types of women who come to the dance, one is a wealthy lady, and the other is a rich woman's companion. Kang Jianfei is not good at or interested in attacking - the main thing is that He Chaoqiong is here, he is not good at doing too much.

"There are so many beauties, why don't you dance a song?" Ye Deli came over with red wine. His young model girlfriend was now dancing with another man.

Kang Jianfei said with a smile: "I'm not good at dancing. I heard that Mr. Ye walked across the dance floor when he was young, and he fascinated thousands of beautiful girls with his dancing posture."

"The hero doesn't mention Yong. He's old, old." Ye Deli smiled proudly, "Don't call me old gentleman. Follow Arqiong and call my uncle."

Kang Jianfei pointed at the young model on the dance floor and said, "Uncle, you are not old with your sword, and your hero is the same as before."

Ye Deli laughed heartily: "Hahaha, if I were 50 years younger, I would definitely have a good experience with your kid."

When the two salty and wet men were joking, the fourth concubine Liang Anqi came over at some point, sat down beside Kang Jianfei and said, "What are you two talking about? They laughed so happily."

Ye Deli is worthy of being a veteran from Henghua Cong for decades, so he just opened his mouth and said, "We were just talking about the dancing posture of the fourth wife, which is as beautiful as a fairy going down to earth."

Liang Anqi gave Ye Deli a charming glance: "You are making fun of me again."

Ye Deli stood up with a smile and said, "You young people are talking, and my old man will not get in the way."

After Ye Deli left, Liang Anqi asked Kang Jianfei, "Why doesn't Mr. Kang dance?"

Kang Jianfei tilted his head and glanced, and found that the gambling king was sitting in the corner with Zheng Yutong and Chen Yuanguo talking about things, then turned around and said, "I'm not good at dancing."

"Don't lie to me," Liang Anqi looked at Kang Jianfei and smiled, "I've seen your performance of Mr. ."

Kang Jianfei said, "I don't dance because I don't have a good partner."

Liang Anqi blinked and asked, "Do you think I'm a good dance partner?"

Kang Jianfei said with a smile, "If I dance with you, Arjun will probably go crazy on the spot."

Liang Anqi laughed and said, "Aren't you the so-called 'Hong Kong-Kowloon Love Saint'? Are you afraid of your wife?"

Kang Jianfei said speechlessly, "I have this nickname?"

"It has long been spread." Liang Anqi said.

Kang Jianfei spread his hands: "Actually, this is all a misunderstanding by outsiders. I am a very dedicated person."

"You are very humorous." Liang Anqi covered her mouth and snickered.

To be honest, in terms of appearance and temperament, the fourth concubine Liang Anqi can score 90 points in Kang Jianfei. If the other party is a freelancer, Kang Jianfei doesn't mind discussing with her about his ideals in life, but Liang Anqi is the most beloved wife of the gambling king, and Kang Jianfei won't even move his brain.

But based on Kang Jianfei's rich experience to judge. This Liang Anqi is definitely seducing him.

Liang Anqi suddenly covered her smile and said in a memory: "I came from Guangdong, just like you. I came out half a year later than you. I can only dance, and nothing else. I even slept in the middle of the night with hunger several times. No. Five full years of precarious life. Do you know what my greatest joy was at the time?"

Kang Jianfei didn't know what the fourth concubine was crazy about. When he suddenly said these words to him, he could only follow along and ask, "What's the fun?"

"I'm just going to the cinema to watch your movies," Liang Anqi said with a giggle, "I thought at the time, I'm also from Guangdong. I'm so bad. I can't even look back at my hometown. You made money by running your own company. Big money, he must be a very powerful man, I am your fan."

Liang Anqi's seduction intent became more and more obvious, Kang Jianfei only responded without a word, but he was thinking about what this guy wanted to do.

Kang Jianfei thought about it, and there was probably only one possibility. This woman seemed to be really interested in him, and of course it was the interest of a gun buddy. Liang Anqi finally became the fourth wife of the gambling king, and naturally it is impossible to stage the drama of elopement for true love, but there are still emotional and physical pursuits.

suddenly. Liang Anqi's face changed slightly, and he quietly stuffed a note in Kang Jianfei's hand, then got up and left with a calm expression.

Kang Jianfei heard the footsteps and knew that He Chaoqiong was coming. The two women passed by by mistake, and they didn't even say hello. Obviously, they had no interest in communicating with each other.

"You had a good time chatting with her?" He Chaoqiong said in a sour tone.

Kang Jianfei calmly put away the note that Liang Anqi gave him, and said, "Who knows what this woman is crazy about, and suddenly came to make friends with my fellow Pan."

...

When Kang Jianfei attended the He family banquet, Liang Jiahui, Zhong Chuhong, Lan Jieying and other crew members of "The Truman World" had already started a publicity show in Cannes.

Now DreamWorks has a solid foundation, and it is not like it used to be a small business, and it directly holds a banquet at the Cannes Bao Hotel. Invite a large number of film critics and reporters to do publicity.

As for Kang Jianfei, he is an internationally renowned director. The biggest names are always there at the last minute.

On the fourth day of the opening of the Cannes Film Festival, "The Truman World" finally began to screen. Because Kang Jianfei and Liang Jiahui are famous in Europe. There are many fans who come to watch the movie, so the organizing committee of the film festival gave a very good treatment, and more than 20 screening halls were screened at the same time.

Compared with Hong Kong and the United States, "The Truman World" is actually more suitable for French audiences. Moreover, in order to cater to the different preferences of audiences around the world, the European version of "The Truman World" has undergone many changes in detail, cutting out some vulgar scenes that are purely funny, and adding some plots with a sad and egg-like atmosphere.

There is no need to explain the effect of the screening, just look at the full screening hall, and you will know how popular this movie is.

The two publications of the Cannes Film Festival scored 2.5 points for "The Screen" the next day and 3.2 points for "The Hollywood Reporter". This is considered a relatively high score. The Cannes magazine rarely scored more than 3 points, and the film critics commented with praise.

"An intriguing film~www.wuxiaspot.com~ is completely different from Kang's other work "Fang Fang", the director put his understanding of life into the film this time, forming a novel and exciting Creepy and absurd world..." - The Hollywood Reporter

"Our life is a prison, everyone is a prisoner..." - "Screen"

The show does not represent the opinion of the jury, but this time it is definitely in line with the majority of fans. "The Truman World" is not difficult to shoot, and everyone can understand the deep meaning it expresses, but at the same time it can give the audience a deep feeling.

Audiences who can come to the Cannes Film Festival love movies, and "The Truman World" satisfies their dual needs of watching movies and pretending, and has attracted wide attention at Cannes this summer.

As for what the judges of the jury think, only ghosts know. In the past, there were many movies with good reputation and high voices, but they didn't even get a hair at the Cannes Film Festival.

Fortunately, "The Truman World" has not won awards at other international film festivals, otherwise there is no hope of winning at Cannes. (To be continued)
