124【Medium-rare steak】2/3
Lin Qingxia wanted to say a few words to Kang Jianfei, but she didn't expect that as soon as she chatted, more than half an hour passed unconsciously.
Lin Qingxia came to Hawaii in January, before the Lunar New Year. Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye, and she has not communicated much with other people except for talking to the old Chinese lady who lives with her. Because the long-distance phone bill at this time was too expensive, she only called her family to report her safety for two months.
For half a year, Lin Qingxia only went back and forth between her residence and school every day, and she also temporarily came out of the whirlpool of feelings and immersed herself in studying with peace of mind.
Occasionally, a director or investor, after inquiring about her address, flew over to ask her to make a movie, but Lin Qingxia directly refused.
Lin Qingxia didn't know what was going on outside the window, let alone the affairs of Hong Kong and Taiwan, she didn't even read the local newspapers in Hawaii, and went straight into the stacks of books.
But after half a year, Lin Qingxia had a lot of words in her heart, and she wanted to find someone to talk to.
Kang Jianfei is very talkative, but he is a stranger after all, and Lin Qingxia naturally will not confide in her. But talking about a little family life, talking about the recent events in Hong Kong and Taiwan, Lin Qingxia still feels quite happy.
"I haven't been to Taiwan recently, but something interesting happened in Hong Kong." Kang Jianfei said.
Lin Qingxia smiled and asked, "Oh, what's interesting?" ”
Kang Jianfei said: "There is a movie called "Mr. Zombie", and the box office broke 20 million. ”
Lin Qingxia's understanding of the Hong Kong film box office is still stuck in last year, and she was surprised: "Which director is so powerful, the highest box office in Hong Kong before was not 10 million." ”
Kang Jianfei said: "A new director. I came from the mainland and have only been in Hong Kong for more than half a year. ”
Lin Qingxia really became interested. asked: "Did that director also make movies in the mainland before?" ”
Kang Jianfei shook his head and said: "This director is very young, just turned 19 years old. Now he is called a 'miracle director' or a 'disaster film director' by Hong Kong newspapers. ”
"I'm only 19 years old!" Lin Qingxia was shocked and asked, "Director Miracle is easy to understand, he made a movie with a box office of 20 million at a young age." But what does it mean to be a 'disaster movie' director? ”
Kang Jianfei said: "Because when "Mr. Zombie" was released, all the other movies screened at the same time hit the streets. The main reason is that this movie is so good that the audience doesn't want to watch other movies after watching it, and will only buy new tickets to watch "Mr. Zombie" repeatedly. So the newspaper said that "Mr. Zombie" was a disaster movie, which was a disaster for other films, and that director became a 'disaster movie director'. said that as long as anyone's movie is released with him in the future, it will not sell well at the box office. ”
"It's so powerful," Lin Qingxia said with a smile, "Hearing you say that, I want to go and see that "Mr. Zombie". ”
Kang Jianfei was carrying a bag on his back, and at this time he took out a cassette tape from the bag and said: "You can't see "Mr. Zombie", but you can listen to this record first. ”
"The Original Scenery of Hometown?" Lin Qingxia looked at the cover of the tape. The cover of the tape does not have a photo of Kang Jianfei, but a beautiful natural scenery. She looked at it and asked, "The hand-me-down work of the musical genius Kang Jianfei...... Who is this Kang Jianfei. Is it a singer who has recently become popular in Hong Kong? ”
Kang Jianfei smiled: "That's what I said earlier. Kang Jianfei, the author of this record, is the director of "Mr. Zombie". ”
"No, this Kang Jianfei not only made a movie with a box office of 20 million, but he can also write and sing songs." Lin Qingxia smiled in surprise. "Next time I go to Hong Kong, I must visit Mr. Kang."
Kang Jianfei looked at his watch, stood up and said, "Miss Lin." It's a pleasure to talk to you, it's as easy as having afternoon tea with an old friend you haven't seen for years. It's not too early, though. I still have some things to do, so I won't bother. ”
Lin Qingxia didn't expect Kang Jianfei to take the initiative to leave. completely dispelled the vigilance in his heart, nodded and smiled: "Serious matters, by the way, I haven't asked your surname yet?" ”
Kang Jianfei said with a smile: "Why do you have to know each other when you meet, and you will meet again if you have the fate." ”
After Kang Jianfei finished speaking, he left in a dashing manner.
"Hey, your tape!" Lin Qingxia suddenly found that she was still holding someone else's record in her hand, and hurriedly shouted to catch up, but after chasing out of the school gate, she had already lost Kang Jianfei is trace, so she had to say to herself, "What a weirdo." ”
Lin Qingxia returned home with the tape, saw the old lady cooking, and said, "Aunt Qin, I'll help you." ”
The old lady smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll come by myself, Miss Lin, you can go and read a book." ”
Mrs. Qin is the mother of a female editor in Taiwan, and Lin Qingxia is not very familiar with the female editor, and she only has a few faces. It was Qiong Yao who heard that Lin Qingxia was going to the United States to relax, and helped contact the female editor, and then she lived in Mrs. Qin's house.
Since Lin Qingxia's debut, her mother Ma Lanying has always been her agent and life assistant, and she has been by her side anytime and anywhere, for fear that her daughter will suffer.
This time, Ma Lanying was also going to come to Hawaii to take care of her daughter, and before leaving, she thought that it would cost her money in the United States, so she went to the black market to exchange 20,000 US dollars, but she was found out at the airport security check and was punished by not being allowed to leave the country for half a year.
Lin Qingxia was kicked out of the kitchen by the old lady, remembering the cassette tape left by Kang Jianfei, she couldn't help but run back to the bedroom and stuff it into the cassette recorder.
Pressing the play button of the tape recorder, Lin Qingxia lay comfortably on the bed.
After a beautiful melody, no lyrics appeared, and Lin Qingxia didn't pay much attention to it, and fell asleep in a daze as she listened to the music.
"Knock knock!"
There was a knock on the door, and the voice of Old Lady Qin came from outside the door: "Miss Lin, it's time for dinner." ”
"Oh, here we are." Lin Qingxia woke up suddenly, and the record "The Original Scenery of Hometown" was also put into the last song.
After the door opened, Mrs. Qin pointed to the tape recorder and said, "What kind of song is this?" It's pretty good. ”
"I don't know the name, but this record is called "The Original Scenery of My Hometown", which was released in Hong Kong." Lin Qingxia said and brought the tape recorder to the dining room, since the old lady likes to listen to it, then take it out and put it on.
Mrs. Qin put on the dishes and chopsticks and said with a smile: "I have always eaten Western food and noodles, I guess Miss Lin is tired of eating, today I specially made a plate of red winding meat, and fried sausages with broccoli." ”
Lin Qingxia pressed the play button after rewinding the tape, and hurriedly went to help the old lady serve the meal and said, "I have been living here for half a year, and I have disturbed Aunt Qin." ”
The old lady smiled and said, "It's good that you're here, otherwise I'll be lonely for an old woman to live here." ”
The two sat down to eat, and the old lady had just sandwiched two slices of sausage for Lin Qingxia, and suddenly sat there motionless with chopsticks in her hand.
Lin Qingxia thought that there was something wrong with her, so she hurriedly asked nervously, "Aunt Qin, what's wrong with you?" ”
The old lady immediately came back to her senses and said with a smile: "It's nothing, listening to this music, I suddenly remembered many things." ”
Lin Qingxia didn't pay attention to the music at all, only when the old lady was old and loved to reminisce.
…………
…………
It wasn't until she went to bed that Lin Qingxia fell asleep listening to "The Original Scenery of Hometown" that she felt that this record was very good and could calm people's emotions.
After listening to two classes the next morning, Lin Qingxia went to the school library to find a book of European literature and read it.
After reading a few pages, Lin Qingxia felt that someone was sitting next to her, and a pen rolled down at her feet.
Lin Qingxia bent down to pick up the pen, and was just about to hand it back to the man, but found that it was the strange man who dropped the pen yesterday, and asked in surprise: "What a coincidence." ”
"yes." Kang Jianfei said with a smile.
Lin Qingxia said: "I brought your tape home." ”
Kang Jianfei said: "It's okay, I'll give it to you, I'll go back to Hong Kong and buy another one." ”
Lin Qingxia said: "That's so embarrassing." ”
Kang Jianfei said: "Just take it as a gift from a friend." ”
Lin Qingxia didn't shirk again, smiled at Kang Jianfei, and looked at the book again.
Kang Jianfei was also reading a book, reading a book of "The Complete Works of Shakespeare", a large number of non-human dialogues, Kang Jianfei yawned and almost fell asleep while sitting.
When Lin Qingxia closed the book, Kang Jianfei said with relief: "It's almost noon, where is there anything delicious around here?" ”
Lin Qingxia has regarded Kang Jianfei as that kind of interesting friend, and said: "The steak outside the school is good, I came to treat you, thank you for giving me a good record." ”
Kang Jianfei smiled: "Then I'm welcome." ”
The two put the book back and walked out of the library, Lin Qingxia said: "The second time we met, you won't say why you have met again, right?" ”
Kang Jianfei said: "You can call me Ah Fei." ”
Lin Qingxia didn't think much about it, let alone connect him with Kang Jianfei on the cover of the tape.
chatting all the way to the store, the waiter came over with the menu, and Lin Qingxia asked, "What do you order?" ”
Kang Jianfei said: "I don't know English, you tell the waiter, just tell me a medium-rare steak." ”
"Flutter!" Lin Qingxia covered her mouth and smiled.
Kang Jianfei was puzzled: "What are you laughing at?" ”
Lin Qingxia couldn't help but smile and said: "That, Ah Fei, there are no eight-minute rare steaks, only three-point, five-point, seven-point and fully cooked." ”
Kang Jianfei was stunned for a moment, but fortunately, his face was very thick, and he coughed and said, "Then it's all cooked." ”
Lin Qingxia said a few words to the waiter, nodded and retreated. ”
Kang Jianfei's heart was full of 10,000 grass and mud horses, he had eaten eight mature steaks for several years in his previous life, why didn't anyone correct himself? Even in those restaurants in five-star hotels, if you shout an eight-ripe steak to the waiter, the other party immediately says, "It's good, it's coming soon." ”
Lao Tzu spent several days setting up and preparing, and it took a lot of effort to enter the library of the University of Hawaii, just to create a romantic and mysterious feeling in front of Lin Meiren.
Now it's all ruined on a piece of steak! (To be continued......)
