At the Beijing Hotel, Li Hanxiang carefully wiped a pen holder and said, "Mr. Kang, thank you very much this time, otherwise I don't know where to find investment." ”

"It's just a matter of raising your hands." Kang Jianfei said with a smile, feeling a little emotional.

This Li Hanxiang was a general under Shao Yifu back then, betrayed Shaw Brothers and went to Taiwan, and with the support of Cathay Pacific and the federal theater chain, he established his own League of Nations film kingdom in Taiwan. The Taiwanese film industry in the 60s can be said to be the world of Guolian Pictures, and most of the Taiwanese movie stars at that time were cultivated by Li Hanxiang.

It's a pity that Guolian Pictures did not operate well and had to declare bankruptcy, and in the end, its studios and distribution channels in Taiwan were all inherited by the emerging Golden Harvest, which provided important resources for the growth of Golden Harvest.

The former Taiwanese film overlord could only return to Hong Kong in a gloomy manner and make a living by making ** movies for Shaw Brothers. In order to be able to make movies to make a living, he had to go north to cooperate with the mainland, but was blocked by the Taiwan authorities.

After making two films, the vice chairman of the National People's Congress and Wang Ho Xian of Macao, who strongly invited Li Hanxiang to go north to make films, died of illness one after another.

In order to attract investment for the new film "Fire Dragon", he also had to pull down his face to ask Kang Jianfei, a junior, for money, some time ago, he ran 5 times and didn't see Kang Jianfei himself, and finally asked Lin Qingxia for help.

The antique furniture that Li Hanxiang bought has now been moved to the warehouse outside Beizhimen, ready to be used as props and shipped back to Hong Kong after filming. The small objects that are now made are all Kang Jianfei's stolen goods, and while Li Hanxiang helped to identify them, he could be regarded as chatting with Kang Jianfei about his feelings.

"Huh." Li Hanxiang suddenly stared at the wooden pen holder in his hand, and after a moment, he rubbed his eyes and smiled bitterly, "Mr. Kang, you have found a really good product." ”

Kang Jianfei asked: "This cylinder is worth more than those porcelain cups and bowls?" ”

"Where can antiques be measured by money," Li Hanxiang said speechlessly, "The Ming Xuande official kiln chicken heart bowl you hold in your hand, although it is a treasure, but the amount of survival is not small." This pen holder is different, it is unique in the world. ”

Kang Jianfei smiled: "So powerful. Can it be sold for tens of millions of dollars? ”

"Well, no one wants to buy hundreds of thousands of dollars." Li Hanxiang said.

"Then you say that the world is unique." Kang Jianfei didn't understand the market at all, and he didn't know that the price of Chinese antiques at this time was much lower than that of later generations, after all, the price had not been speculated by mainland players and international auction houses.

Li Hanxiang sighed and said, "I didn't pay attention to it before, but now wipe the dirt off the barrel." only to find out that this pen holder was used by Qin Shaoyou. ”

"Who is Qin Shaoyou? It's a familiar name. Kang Jianfei humbly asked.

Li Hanxiang resisted the urge to roll his eyes: "If the two love for a long time, how can it be in the morning and twilight." ”

Kang Jianfei: That's when you reacted. smiled: "You just said Qin Guan." ”

"This tube should have been given to Qin Shaoyou by a woman." Li Hanxiang said and threw the pen holder to Kang Jianfei.

Kang Jianfei took it and took a look. I saw that the words and sentences of "Queqiao Immortal" were engraved on it, and the words "Gift to the Gentleman and Young Travel" were also written before the payment, and the mythical story of the Cowherd and Weaver Girl was also depicted on the tube. Unfortunately, this cylinder has been used as a grain cup all year round, used to scoop grain grains, and the mouth of the cylinder has been worn out to the point that it is not in shape.

Li Hanxiang saw Kang Jianfei looking at the mouth of the tube depressedly, and comforted him with a smile: "Don't feel distressed." It is also possible that it is not Qin Shaoyou's own, and the owner of the pen holder may just have the same word or name as Qin Guan, after all, "Queqiao Immortal" can be used as a love poem between men and women. ”

"I don't care, I don't have much interest in this kind of stuff anyway." Kang Jianfei changed the topic and asked, "Does Director Li have any plans after filming "Fire Dragon"? ”

Li Hanxiang shook his head and said, "I haven't thought about it yet." ”

Kang Jianfei asked: "Have you ever thought about finishing the filming of "The Legend of Cixi"? ”

Li Hanxiang's spirit was shocked and said: "Yes, of course, Mr. Kang is interested in investing?" ”

"It's okay to invest, but I have one request." Kang Jianfei said.

"The Biography of Cixi" is divided into five parts: "The Burning of the Old Summer Palace", "Listening to the Government with a Curtain", "Tongzhi Zhongxing", "Reform of the Law" and "The Eight-Nation Alliance".

"What a request, Mr. Kang said." Li Hanxiang said eagerly.

Kang Jianfei said: "I want to buy New Kunlun. ”

Li Hanxiang asked dumbly: "New Kunlun is just a small company, can it also enter Mr. Kang's eyes?" ”

Kang Jianfei said bluntly: "I just want the copyright of "Burning the Old Summer Palace" and "Listening to Politics with a Curtain", whether it is sold or not depends on Director Li's meaning." ”

New Kunlun has nothing except the copyrights of a few movies, and no one bought it if it wanted to sell it before. But if he really wants Li Hanxiang to sell it, he is a little reluctant, after all, this is the company he wanted to make a comeback a few years ago.

Li Hanxiang shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Since Mr. Kang is fancy to you, then what else do I have to say, just sell it." ”

"Then it's decided, the specific price, when Director Li returns to Hong Kong, someone will talk to you." Kang Jianfei said and cleaned up the jars and jars he had picked up.

Jingcheng Airport.

Gong Li reluctantly asked, "When will you come back?" ”

"Don't worry, you won't have to wait long," Kang Jianfei patted the back of Gong Li's hand, "I contacted Principal Li of Chinese opera, and he said that your acting test score is second, as long as the cultural class of the college entrance examination is not too bad, you will definitely be admitted, and I will go to Chinese opera to find you when the time comes." ”

"Well, thank you." Gong Li said gratefully that she was not confident at all in her cultural class exam.

In Gong Li's wave goodbye, Kang Jianfei boarded the plane back to Hong Kong, and at this time, "Metamorphosis" caused heated discussions in both the mainland and Hong Kong.

It can be said that whether it is from the perspective of investment or content, "Metamorphosis" belongs to an unprecedented TV show.

Since the end of the Sino-British negotiations and the determination that Hong Kong will return to China in 97, Hong Kong people are curious and afraid of the mainland. Although Phoenix Channel has programs to introduce the mainland from time to time, they are all viewed from a large perspective, and they have not been narrowed down to specific families in great detail.

"Metamorphosis" provides such a platform, which allows Hong Kong audiences to get a closer understanding of the situation of ordinary people in the mainland.

After the first episode of "Metamorphosis" aired, this show immediately caused heated discussions, and even the talk shows of Radio used it as a topic.

Hong Kong's views on this are divided into several types: one is to ridicule the poverty of the mainland, believing that after Hong Kong's return to the motherland, the wealth of Hong Kong people will be dragged down by the poor mainland; The second is that mainlanders also have good, and those mainlanders in the film are very simple and kind, unlike the provincial and Hong Kong flag soldiers in the movie; There are also praises for the hard work of mainlanders, or sarcasm for the lack of knowledge of mainlanders, etc.

This is the Hong Kong audience's view of the mainlanders, and some media focus on the Hong Kong demagogic teenagers in the film, believing that young people in Hong Kong do not learn and have no skills, and only know how to eat, drink and have fun all day long, and the education situation of young people is very worrying.

Anyway, "Metamorphosis" is a hit, and on the third day after Kang Jianfei returned to Hong Kong, the second episode of "Metamorphosis" aired, and the ratings reached a terrifying 57% - a full 28 percentage points higher than the first episode.

After the second episode aired, "Metamorphosis" seems to have become a social topic, and in general, Hong Kong people's opinions on it are divided into four types: positive, negative, neutral and soy sauce.

Wen Wei Po, a leftist newspaper, commented on the program: "The Metamorphosis has strengthened the people-to-people ties between the mainland and Hong Kong, and enhanced mutual understanding between the people of the two places. It can be seen from the film that although the mainland is economically backward, it is not a purgatory on earth as propagated by the reactionary media, and it will not engage in class struggle at any time. People use their labor to create zào wealth,

Industrious, simple and full of hope...... In the program, Hong Kong's delinquent youths, under the influence of the working people in the mainland, have become sensible little by little, and the poor teenagers in the mainland have also opened their eyes in Hong Kong and learned a lot of new knowledge...... Both mainlanders and Hong Kong people are Chinese compatriots, and compatriots should help each other, instead of being suspicious of each other and rejecting each other......"

The evaluation of the right-wing newspaper is completely opposite: "The program "Metamorphosis" produced by Phoenix TV is practical and sinister, and the selection of the two teenagers in the film exposes its purpose. Obviously, the planners of the show chose an excellent rural teenager to cover up the poverty, ignorance, selfishness, and greed of mainlanders with such things as diligence and simplicity, and used a tricky boy to represent the new generation of Hong Kong, wantonly smearing the image of Hong Kong people...... The transformation of the old boy in the mainland is actually a metaphor for Hong Kong, although there is money, but there are problems with morality and character, which need to be corrected by the mainland, to put it more bluntly, GCD wants to take back Hong Kong, and carry out a major transformation in Hong Kong, just like the original WG movement......"

As for neutral newspapers such as Ming Pao, they completely disregard ideology and evaluate "Metamorphosis" from the perspective of human nature and the growth of teenagers.

Until the third episode of "Metamorphosis", that is, the finale of the first story, was broadcast, the ratings had risen to 65%, which was comparable to the ratings of the beauty pageant.

FLM Restaurant.

Xu Jiasheng, director of the Hong Kong branch of Xinhua News Agency, held a wine glass and said: "Mr. Kang, the program "Metamorphosis" has done so well that the central leaders have praised it!" ”

Kang Jianfei said with a smile: "It's just a show, and there are a lot of people who scold." ”

Hui shook his head and sighed: "Most of the Hong Kong people's fear of the mainland comes from strangeness and ignorance, and "Metamorphosis" provides this opportunity. But ......."

"But what?" Kang Jianfei frowned and asked.

Xu Jiasheng said: "The leader said, don't point to the poorest places in the mainland to shoot the show, you can choose families in the city for exchange." ”

Yes, accidentally made the leader unhappy, Kang Jianfei was completely speechless. (To be continued......) RT
