When she returned home from the retest at Oriental Entertainment Company, Li Zhi was in the living room looking at the phone in a daze. She doesn't have to be an actor star, and she is not very fanatical about acting, whether she goes to the New Arts City to audition or apply for the future star training class, she is just to get ahead, and she is not willing to be ridiculed again.

"Achi, it's time to eat!" The stepmother came out with the dishes and chopsticks and shouted at Lizhi, who was sleepwalking.

"Here we are." Lizhi came back to her senses and walked over to help her stepmother set up the dishes and chopsticks.

Lizhi's biological parents are both top students at the Shang/Hai Drama Academy, and they divorced when she was three years old. Lizhi did not have a very good relationship with her stepmother, and when she was seven or eight years old, she even ran away from home in anger and traveled along the railway line to several cities, eating and drinking all on the train to ask strangers for money.

As she grew up, Lizhi became much more obedient, and although her relationship with her stepmother was not very good, she still maintained harmony on the surface.

Lizhi's father travels all year round, and he usually eats basically two of them, mother and daughter.

The stepmother brought rice and asked with concern, "Did you go to the DreamWorks training class today to take the retest?" ”

Lizhi didn't want to speak, so she just closed her mouth and said "um".

The stepmother asked again, "Have you ever taken the test?" ”

Lizhi didn't like this stepmother very much, but she was discriminated against after she came to Hong Kong, and her stepmother has always been good to her, which made the relationship between the two ease a lot. Li Zhi picked a mouthful of rice with chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth, and said, "I don't know what to do, I have to wait two or three days to hear the news." ”

The stepmother said earnestly: "Being an actor is to eat youth, and it can't guarantee that you will be popular." Didn't you pass the TOEFL test? In my opinion, it's better to study in the United States. After studying business for four years, I returned to Hong Kong and joined a large company as a white-collar worker in an office, which was both decent and financially secure. ”

"Hmm." Lizhi hummed again. When she first came to Hong Kong two years ago, she was also very excited. But it didn't take long to find that Hong Kong was not as beautiful as she imagined, and even working as a salesperson in a furniture store had to be ridiculed by customers as "Beigu". As for studying in the United States, it is just a choice for Li Zhi to escape reality, and she is very worried that after going to the United States, she will be worse off than in Hong Kong.

Lizhi's stepmother didn't say anything more, and the mother and daughter ate dinner quietly.

"Jingle Bell ......"

The phone rings in the living room.

"Maybe your dad called back." The stepmom said and went to answer the phone, "Hey, ah, hello...... Oriental Entertainment? Oh, you're looking for Achi. Please wait a minute. ”

The stepmother trotted over and asked in a low voice, "Ah Zhi, there is a Mr. Zhang of the Oriental Entertainment Company looking for you." ”

"Is it really Oriental Entertainment?" Li Zhihu asked suspiciously, she felt that her re-examination was completely useless, and she didn't know what to do when Lu Dao called her. And even if you are admitted. It's impossible to call tonight, tomorrow morning at the latest.

The stepmother nodded and said, "It's Oriental Entertainment Company." What does this company do? ”

Lizhi didn't bother to explain to her. I walked over and picked up the phone, only to hear Zhang Guozhong say: "Hello Miss Li, I am Zhang Guozhong, the chief examiner of today's re-examination, please go to Oriental DreamWorks to find Mr. Kang Jianfei before 11 days tomorrow morning." ”

"Kang Jianfei?" Lizhi asked in surprise, "Have I been accepted into the training class?" ”

Zhang Guozhong said very predictively: "It has nothing to do with the training class, Mr. Kang wants to see you." I don't know what the specific reason is, but it may be that I think you are suitable for a certain role, and I hope you can grasp this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. ”

It's been a long time since she hung up the phone, and Lizhi is still standing there in surprise and listening to the phone.

"What's wrong?" The stepmom came over and asked.

Lizzie put down the phone. calmed down and said, "It seems that Kang Jianfei wants to see me." ”

"Kang Jianfei!?" Lizhi's stepmother screamed, and the surprise in her heart was no less than that of Lizhi's client.

In the minds of mainlanders who have only moved to Hong Kong in recent years, the most famous and dazzling figure in Hong Kong is neither Li Ka-shing, Bao Yugang and other tycoons, nor Zhou Yunfa, Zhao Yazhi and other big stars, but Kang Jianfei, who started from scratch and made a huge fortune in just a few years.

For what?

Because Kang Jianfei came to Hong Kong about the same time as them, everyone's starting point is the same, and their path to development is simply amazing. There may be people who are jealous, but more than that, they admire and worship, and Kang Jianfei has indeed become a role model for many people today, inspiring those new Hong Kong people who are still in trouble to fight for tomorrow.

Every year Hong Kong has to select the top ten outstanding young people, Kang Jianfei's voice has always been very high, and his hardcore supporters are these new Hong Kong people.

Many of them are even stowaways.

Lizhi's stepmother was afraid that her daughter would be deceived, and when she heard that she wanted to see Kang Jianfei at this time, she immediately relieved herself and asked, "What did Mr. Kang do when he saw you?" ”

Li Zhi thought for a while and said, "I don't know what to do, I shouldn't have passed the re-examination of today's training class." Maybe it's because I'm also from the mainland, so Mr. Kang wants to give me a chance. ”

……

……

Lying behind the window of the double-decker bus, Li Zhi silently observes the bustling street scene of Hong Kong, and she always feels that she does not belong to Hong Kong, and she does not fit in with everything here.

In the distance, a street advertisement reads the news of the Happy Girls group's concert at the Hung Hom Stadium next week, and tickets for the concert are now on pre-sale.

The Red Pavilion was just built last month, spending a total of more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars, and last night Xu Guanjie held a solo concert in the Red Pavilion, becoming the first singer to sing here since the Red Pavilion was built.

Xu Guanjie's concert was huge, and it was held three times in a row in the Red Pavilion, and Xinyi City even postponed the filming time in France for this reason.

The headline of the entertainment section of today's major newspapers is Xu Guanjie's Red Pavilion concert, Xu Guanjie's fame in the music world has overwhelmed Xu Xiaofeng, Teresa Teng, Alan Tam and all other singers for a while.

Due to Kang Jianfei's "preference", under the operation of Fengxing Records, the Happy Girls group followed closely behind and is about to become the first music group to hold a concert in the Red Pavilion.

Although the concert is still a week away, the advance tickets have already been sold out by avid fans. Most of these fans are under the age of 20, and the average age is only 15 years old, and many students skip class with school bags to buy advance tickets, which makes schools and parents anxious.

Whether it is Xu Guanjie or the Happy Girl Group, it has little to do with Lizhi. She is just an ordinary salesperson who doesn't pay much attention to Hong Kong singers.

When the bus arrived at the station, Li Zhi asked all the way to the office building of DreamWorks, and it took a long time to find Kang Jianfei's secretary Chen Shuli.

"You're Miss Lizhi?" Chen Shuli glanced at Lizhi curiously, and then smiled, "Please wait a while, Mr. Kang is meeting guests." ”

Rizzi nodded, looking inside curiously, but the closed blinds blocked the view, and nothing could be seen.

……

in the office. Kang Jianfei's guest is Zhang Moren, the manager of the Taiping Theater, and this old man is still in the same old suit, as if he never changes his clothes.

Kang Jianfei said: "I heard the news that Shao Yifu is preparing to sell the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line. ”

Zhang Moren smiled and asked, "Do you want to buy it?" ”

Kang Jianfei nodded and said, "If you have this plan, it depends on whether his price is reasonable." ”

Zhang Moren shook his head and said, "There's no need for that." Shao Yifu is not dead set on movies, so the four leading cinemas in his hands are only rented and not sold. I'm ready to make a comeback again. for sale. They are all second- and third-rate movie theaters, and among these movie theaters, except for two or three of them with better locations, there is nothing special about them. Buying from Shao Yifu is better than renting a house or buying a new cinema, at least all kinds of equipment are much better than Shaw's old cinema. ”

Kang Jianfei thought for a moment. said: "That's it, after Shao Yifu announces the sale of the theater, we will grab those theaters with good locations." ”

Zhang Moren asked: "The owner is going to open a cinema company?" ”

Kang Jianfei sighed: "The theater line in the new era is scattered, and the chain is always dropped at critical times. I'll have to do something else. For the newly opened cinema company, my plan is to have a scale of 20 theaters, and of course you will be the general manager. ”

Zhang Moren shook his head and said: "I'm old, it's okay to manage a few theaters, but I can't hold up a theater line." ”

"I'll find you a deputy, you just need to take care of the general direction." Kang Jianfei thought of the ugly man Cen Jianxun he saw a few days ago, this guy is the best candidate for vice president of the theater.

"That's okay," Zhang Moren thought for a while and said, "But Shao Yifu's sale of the theater must wait for Shaw Brothers Pictures to stop production, at least at the end of this year or next year." Shouldn't we discuss with some theater dealers in the new era first, and then directly merge their theaters into our new theater line? ”

Kang Jianfei said: "Among the new era cinema chain, the four theaters of Anle Pictures are definitely not with us all the way, and among the remaining more than ten theaters, only 5 medium-sized theaters are eye-catching, and other small theaters are not interesting." ”

Zhang Moren discussed: "In this way, we have four leading theaters in our own hands, and then five second-rate theaters from the New Era Cinema Line, and Shaw Brothers can probably buy three with good locations, so there will be 12 theaters." The rest will either rent the four leading theaters that Shao Yifu refuses to sell, or find a good location to build a new theater. ”

"I know about the new theater, so you don't have to worry about that." Kang Jianfei smiled mysteriously, he always paid attention to the Beijing/Beijing side, the second round of Sino-British negotiations will end in two months, and I am afraid that Hong Kong's stock market and property market will have to fall again.

Since the end of last year, Hong Kong's property market and stock market have been slowly rebounding, and the Hang Seng Index has risen from more than 600 points to more than 800 points now. It is estimated that after another two months of rise, the Hang Seng Index may break through the 900-point mark again.

But now all Hong Kong people have become frightened birds, once the Sino-British negotiations come out of the unfavorable news, the stock market and property market will immediately collapse, and the fall will be even more tragic than last year.

Zhang Moren said: "Since the owner has already planned, then I will first contact the five theaters of the New Era Cinema Line." ”

Kang Jianfei revealed some news and said: "I am going to buy a house and build a movie theater by myself, Lao Zhang, you can help me choose a few suitable places on Hong Kong Island and Kowloon." ”

"Okay." Zhang Moren replied very competently.

The two discussed for more than ten minutes before Zhang Mo left with a document, and Lizhi, who had been waiting for a long time, pushed the door in. (To be continued......)
