Dreams of the Fragrant River

Hotel, in the Presidential Suite.

Aishwarya is wearing a bright red sari and is being interviewed by "India Today" Weekly. This magazine has a very large influence in India. If you have to compare it, it is equivalent to the Indian version of "Time".

Although Aishwarya made several films in Hollywood and made a big name, it was not enough to attract the attention of "India Today". The reason why I was interviewed this time was actually because Kang Jianfei made money.

In India, there is nothing that cannot be done without money. Even when budgeting for a national project, the officials’ corruption kickbacks must be included, otherwise, it will not be completed after a decade or two.

Let's just say that even after 2010, one-third of Indian MPs have been accused of rape, and more than 20% have a definite criminal record.

This is a strange country.

"Ms. Aishwarya, can you talk about your family?" the reporter asked. The hidden meaning of these words was actually asking about Aishwarya's caste origin.

Aishwarya smiled and said, "My grandfather was a businessman, and my father was a low-level officer in the navy."

The reporter immediately understood that this was a woman from a third surname. He quickly entered the topic: "I heard that your academic performance is very good, do you have any ideals?"

"I majored in architecture in college, and I once wanted to be an architectural designer," said Aishwarya.

The reporter asked again: "Then why did you think of going to Hong Kong to participate in the beauty contest?"

Aishwarya replied with a smile: "It may sound bizarre, but it is indeed an accident. At that time, the staff of the Oriental Entertainment Distribution Company, who released their films in India, happened to meet me and thought that I was suitable for participating in the beauty contest. ."

"Then how did you break into Hollywood?" the reporter asked.

"Mr. Cameron saw my print ad in Hong Kong, so he invited me to play a supporting role in his new film," Aishwarya said.

The reporter asked: "Is it difficult for an Indian actor to make his mark in Hollywood?"

"Yes, it's difficult, the competition there is too fierce. When I first passed, I didn't know anything, and my English was not standard, and I suffered a lot of discrimination..." Aishwarya began to tell the history of hard work.

In fact, these are all routines. The reporter's question and Aishwarya's answer have been discussed in advance.

Aishwarya will be the cover character of the next issue of "India Today". She will be made into an inspirational Indian woman who came from a commoner and succeeded step by step through her own efforts.

In India, where traditional thinking is deeply rooted, this kind of report is very gimmicky. Although Aishwarya can only be regarded as a second-tier actress in Hollywood, this is enough to make Indians proud. "India Today" also valued her topicality, so it was very willing to collect money to help Aishwarya promote.

……

As for Kang Jianfei, he went to Mumbai with Li Jiaxin and a few crew members, mainly to shoot a scene of the famous queen, and take Li Jiaxin on a tour by the way.

In the first part, there is only a very brief video, and her main role is still in the second part.

In a small manor on the outskirts of Mumbai, Niha Darvi was standing in front of the curtain and videotaping: "...an early experiment of the institute, their production was to directly inject the t virus into living cells and tissues, and the results were very different. Stable. Now he eats the new DNA... well, sorry, I forgot the last word."

The seven-year-old girl said apologetically to the camera. As expected to be the number one beauty in India 20 years later, Aishwarya's successor, Niha Darvi is already a full-fledged beauty embryo at a young age.

lo*ic*n must have gone crazy when she saw it, she couldn't help but want to pounce on it and overthrow it.

How do you say that? Three years of blood earning, no loss indefinitely...Ahem, wrong, the minimum is three years, and the maximum is indefinite.

Seeing that the little girl was a little nervous, Kang Jianfei smiled and comforted: "It's alright, let's take your time, and you can familiarize yourself with the lines."

"Thank you." Niha Darvi lowered her head to read the script. Her lines were only seven or eight sentences. She was indifferent throughout the whole process and did not need any acting skills.

After recording on and off for more than 40 minutes, the little girl finally finished her lines, then jumped into the arms of a mustache and said, "Dad, am I acting well?"

"Of course, Niha is the best." The little girl's father Singh Darvi laughed.

The background of the little girl is much higher than that of Aishwarya. Just by looking at her father's name "Singh", she knows that it is the second surname Kshatriya. And "Darwi" is also the exclusive surname of Kshatriya. During the Sino-Indian War, the highest-ranking Indian generals captured by the Chinese side took the surname "Darwi".

But well, the little girl's family is of "noble" blood, and in fact, she did not live a very rich life.

Singh Darvi used to be an officer on the Pakistani side. Later, because of political struggles, he defected to India with his family with intelligence. There is no intention to reuse it on the Indian side, only let him be a petty official, and then reward a small manor.

Now Singh Darvi is most confused about how to get money to live. He didn't just take care of the family. There were twenty or thirty servants in the entire manor, all waiting for him to pay their wages.

He doesn't have the funds and connections to do big business, but he can't get involved in small business. The caste system in India is very interesting. Even though Kshatriya is more noble than Vaishya, if a Kshatriya dares to set foot in handicrafts, animal husbandry and other fields, he will be united and resisted by the Vaishya class in minutes.

Because it is stipulated in the caste system that traditional agriculture, animal husbandry, handicrafts and commerce are all Vaishya's old professions, and you can't come to grab a job as a Kshatriya. This is a right bestowed on them by God.

Singh Darvi has an empty manor, but he is so poor that he can only rely on corruption to get some money to live. He has been studying law for the past two years and is about to quit his job to become a lawyer. Lawyers are much richer than small officials.

Kang Jianfei glanced at the superb little loli who was running laughing and running, and said to Singer, "Mr. Darvi, your daughter is very talented as an actress."

"Really?" Singer laughed, "If Niha likes, I will cultivate her talent in this area."

"I like Niha very much, and I hope to accept her as my goddaughter." Kang Jianfei said maliciously.

"God daughter?" Singer didn't understand.

Kang Jianfei said, "It's like the goddaughter of the West. I want to be Niha's godfather."

Singh repeatedly refused: "No, no, Niha doesn't believe in Western religion."

Kang Jianfei smiled bitterly and said, "You misunderstood, I'm just a metaphor. Goddaughter and godfather have nothing to do with religion at all."

It took a lot of effort for Kang Jianfei to explain his goddaughter clearly. Knowing that he was the richest man in Hong Kong, Singer agreed on the spot and said happily, "Nie Ha will bother Mr. Lao Kang to take care of him in the future."

"I will. If possible, I hope Niha can go to the United States or Hong Kong to study. The educational environment in India is really bad." Kang Jianfei laughed.

Singer said embarrassedly: "Mr. Kang, to tell you the truth, my financial conditions are really limited. If there is no new income, this manor will probably be sold."

Kang Jianfei was a little surprised by this. In his impression, Singer belonged to the local tyrant class~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I didn't expect to be strong from outside and work on the inside.

The two chatted for a long time before Kang Jianfei figured out each other's current situation, and he had an idea: "Singer, have you ever thought about moving to Bengal?"

"Bengal?" Singh wondered.

"That's right, I want to set up a Hong Kong film distribution office in Kolkata, maybe you can be the person in charge." Kang Jianfei explained.

India's film market is even more difficult to enter than Japan. Xenophobia is only one aspect. What's more troublesome is that India is too chaotic. The languages, customs and characters of the federations cannot be understood. Even the local distributors in India cannot spread the film to the whole country.

After more than ten years of hard work, DreamWorks has only made some progress in western India, and has established relationships with many Indian publishers. But the eastern region is a bit difficult, and Hong Kong films can only exist in the eastern region in the form of pirated CDs.

Let Singh be the head of the Calcutta office, of course, it is just a pretense, using his Kshatriya caste background, having a person in charge of noble blood, things will be much smoother in the future.

This kind of situation can be met but not sought, because Kshatriya is generally rich and powerful, and it is impossible for Kang Jianfei to be at the mercy of him. Only Singh, an empty-handed man who is strong from the outside and works in the middle, is the best puppet candidate.

It is even possible to open a distribution company in Calcutta. In name, Singer is the boss, but in fact, it is controlled by Kang Jianfei. Maybe it will be able to expand step by step and open up the film market of the two countries.
