Lin Qingxia was wearing a black floor-length dress, the delicate and elegant collarbone under the half-exposed fragrant shoulders was tempting, and a sapphire necklace dazzled the snow muscles on her chest.

Before going out, Lin Qingxia took off her long black gloves, and somewhere did Lu Dao get a bow tie for Kang Jianfei to wear.

Kang Jianfei always felt uncomfortable in his neck, so he tore it off and threw it aside and said, "Don't wear a bow tie, otherwise others will treat me as a bar waiter." ”

"You're talking a lot." Lin Qingxia gave him a blank look, put on long gloves, and went out with her bag.

Kang Jianfei hurriedly caught up and personally drove Lin Qingxia to Central, he knew that Lin Qingxia was still a little uncomfortable because of Guan Zhilin's matter.

Lin Qingxia sat in the car for a while, and suddenly said, "Your sister Jiahui won't come today, right?" ”

"Ahem," Kang Jianfei coughed to hide his embarrassment, and then smiled, "She is not nominated, what is she going to do at the Academy Awards?" ”

Lin Qingxia said sourly: "Who said that you can't participate in the award ceremony without nomination?" Maybe she'll be able to walk the red carpet. ”

Kang Jianfei didn't want to get entangled with Lin Qingxia on the issue of women, so he quickly changed the topic and said, "Qingxia, how many awards do you think we can get today?" ”

Lin Qingxia didn't use words to chase and beat Kang Jianfei anymore, she leaned back in her seat, looked at the street scene outside the window and said: "I guess I don't have much chance, commercial films like "Deadly Express" don't need to show much acting skills, and the judges of all film awards prefer literary films. ”

Lin Qingxia was nominated for Best Actress at the Hong Kong Film Awards, but she herself felt hopeless. Kang Jianfei is slightly better, nominated for Best Director for "Deadly Express" and Best Film Score for "God of Gamblers".

As for the entire DreamWorks, there are a lot of Academy Award nominations.

Zhang Jianting's "Seven Days of Wrong Love" alone has three nominations for Best Film Song, Best Screenplay and Best Actress; And Lee Xiu-hsien's "Doctor Lamb". was nominated for Best Editing and Best Actor; "God of Gamblers" was nominated for Best Actor, Best Cinematography, and Best Film Score.

However, the highest demand for the award is "Half of the People" produced by Yindu Organization (Phoenix Pictures), which has a box office of only more than 1.9 million and has received 7 nominations in one fell swoop. and another film "Listening to Politics by the Curtain" of Yindu Organization (a subsidiary of New Kunlun Pictures) also received 5 nominations, of which Leung Jiahui was nominated for Best Newcomer and Best Actor at the same time.

Compared with the commerciality of DreamWorks, Yindu is the company with the most strength to sweep the trophy at the Academy Awards.

Due to the limited space outside the Taiping Theater, this time the red carpet show changed the rules. The organizing committee of the Academy Awards booked a hall in the Central Hotel, and all the stars and guests who participated in the award ceremony went to the Central Hotel to rest and wait.

Wait until the red carpet show is about to begin. Then the Organizing Committee of the Academy Awards sent a luxury car to pick it up, and drove directly to the red carpet outside the Taiping Theater.

Of course, the so-called luxury cars were also sponsored by the Mitsubishi Group, and the organizing committee of the Academy Awards did not spend a penny, but also received a sponsorship fee from Mitsubishi Corporation.

Kang Jianfei and Lin Qingxia came to the Central Hotel. Dozens of people have gathered in the hall under the wrapping of the Academy Awards Organizing Committee, chatting and laughing together.

There are also some journalists in the hall who are allowed to enter. When Kang Jianfei arrived with Lin Qingxia. The attention of the reporters happened to be on Cheng Long, Hong Jinbao and Yuan Biao also stood with him, and the three brothers seemed to be taking the opportunity to promote the upcoming filming of "Food Truck" in Spain.

Lin Qingxia's appearance immediately attracted several reporters, and Kang Jianfei casually found a seat and sat down, just waiting for the time to take the car to the Taiping Theater.

However, this still did not escape the "pursuit" of the reporter, and a female reporter from Radio Television Hong Kong came over. asked: "Hello Mr. Kang, I'm Jiang Jianian, an entertainment reporter from Radio Television Hong Kong, can you tell us a little bit about the new film?" ”

Kang Jianfei saw that the female reporter looked impatient, and said with a smile: "I'll give you a scoop." The title of the new film is "Love Saint". ”

Jiang Jiannian's eyes lit up with joy, and he asked, "Is it a love movie?" ”

"Guess." Kang Jianfei smiled at the female reporter.

Jiang Jiannian asked again: "I heard that Mao Xianyun is also one of the heroines this time?" ”

Kang Jianfei nodded and said, "Yes, Miss Jiang is very well-informed. ”

Jiang Jianian added: "Then this is a love triangle drama between two women and one man?" ”

"Unfortunately, no." Kang Jianfei said with a smile.

It took several minutes for Kang Jianfei to finally send the female reporter away. Fortunately, there are not many reporters here, and only a few media that have cooperative relations with Phoenix TV are allowed to send people to interview, and Kang Jianfei rarely has a moment of leisure.

Suddenly, Kang Jianfei was attracted by the conversation between the two people next to him, because they spoke Mandarin.

"Accommodation is expensive, isn't it?"

"It's supposed to be expensive, and I haven't lived in it either."

"By the way, after you returned to Hong Kong, did you make any new films?"

"Not yet, what about you?"

"I don't have it either, but I'm going to play a "Northern Red Bean" next month."

“……”

Kang Jianfei turned his head and saw that the two people talking to him were actually Liang Jiahui and Liu Xiaoqing.

It stands to reason that Liu Xiaoqing, as a mainland actor, will most likely not come to the awards ceremony even if he is nominated in Hong Kong. Because she has to pay for her own travel expenses, based on Liu Xiaoqing's current salary (50 yuan per month), one visit to Hong Kong is enough for her salary for two years.

But Liu Xiaoqing came, because Li Hanxiang helped her pay the fare, and Director Li Da seemed to be very confident that his work would win the award.

Kang Jianfei was idle anyway, got up and walked over to the sofa next to the two, and greeted: "The two of you had a good chat, can I participate in one?" ”

Liu Xiaoqing glanced at Kang Jianfei vigilantly, she didn't have a good impression of this familiar guy, she asked Liang Jiahui: "This comrade is your friend?" ”

Liang Jiahui looked at Kang Jianfei a little stunned, and said in disbelief: "Mr. Kang? ”

Kang Jianfei joked: "I have finally been recognized, it seems that I am still a little well-known." ”

Liang Jiahui is just a newcomer who has made two movies, and he is a small role in front of Kang Jianfei, he quickly explained: "Don't misunderstand Mr. Kang, I didn't expect you to take the initiative to come, and I thought I was wrong." ”

"You're not mistaken. I have watched the two performances of "The Burning of the Old Summer Palace" and "Listening to the Politics of the Curtain", and I like your performances very much. Kang Jianfei casually explained why he would take the initiative to find them.

Liu Xiaoqing didn't know Kang Jianfei at all, she saw that Liang Jiahui's attitude towards Kang Jianfei was extremely respectful, and couldn't help asking: "Jiahui, this comrade...... Sir is? ”

Liang Jiahui helped introduce: "This is Mr. Kang Jianfeikang, he is the owner of Oriental DreamWorks Film Company, and he is also a very famous director. ”

It turned out to be the owner of a film company...... Liu Xiaoqing has already defined Kang Jianfei as a rich son, because Kang Jianfei is too young, whether as a boss or a director, he does not meet Liu Xiaoqing's cognition in terms of age.

As for the "big director" mentioned by Leung Ka-fai. Liu Xiaoqing just thinks he is filming sycophants, how can he make a good movie at a young age?

"Hello, Mr. Kang, my name is Liu Xiaoqing." Liu Xiaoqing shook hands with Kang Jianfei with a smile, and took the initiative to sit on Kang Jianfei's side very enthusiastically.

For Liu Xiaoqing, who came from an ordinary background. The boss of a Hong Kong film company is the kind of big man with a lot of money and hands and eyes. Naturally, you have to make good friends.

Liu Xiaoqing is not a woman who is easy to get along with. Eight years ago, in order to get a Beijing hukou, she chose to marry a violinist of the General Political Opera Troupe. As a result, on the morning of the fourth day of marriage, Liu Xiaoqing left her new husband, and it was a year after leaving, and the two finally went through the divorce procedures the year before last.

When filming "Listening to Politics with a Curtain" last year, Liu Xiaoqing's boycott also made Li Hanxiang big. is the first big star among mainland actors who dare to lose his temper.

However, there is a reason for Liu Xiaoqing's boycott: because "Listening to Politics" is a co-production between Hong Kong and the mainland, the actor Leung Jiahui is not well-known, and it is the first time to make a movie, and Liu Xiaoqing has long been a domestic celebrity.

Liu Xiaoqing was furious because of the different food supplies in the mainland and Hong Kong. The food treatment of mainland and Hong Kong actors is different, Hong Kong actors are responsible for the food, and Liu Xiaoqing and other actors are responsible for mainland co-production companies.

Liu Xiaoqing, a big mainland star, eats with other mainland actors in a plastic bag with two steamed buns and a piece of black pickles. But when Hong Kong actors have lunch at noon, each person has a food truck, chicken, duck, fish, and rice.

Leung Jiahui, a rookie actor, actually eats better than the big star Liu Xiaoqing. Such a strong contrast caused Liu Xiaoqing to cry and want to boycott on the spot, which has never happened before - other actors are afraid of being punished, and no one dares to make trouble.

Because most of it was Liu Xiaoqing's drama at that time, the production director, director and assistant director all came to coax her, Liu Xiaoqing cried and shouted "I want to eat meat, I want to eat rice", and director Li Hanxiang said "Quick, bring meat". Liu Xiaoqing cried and didn't do it, saying "I want all the mainland actors to eat meat and eat before filming", and the crew was completely speechless. There are tens of thousands of extras in the mainland, and they will only give up after eating meat for the main actors in the mainland.

Kang Jianfei has no interest in Liu Xiaoqing, he just values Liang Jiahui's potential very much, so he came to take a look today.

"Miss Liu, I've seen the movie, and your "Little Flower" is doing well." Kang Jianfei praised casually.

"Mr. Kang praised it falsely, I was still young at the time, and I didn't understand anything when I was filming." Liu Xiaoqing was proud that the boss of the Hong Kong film company had actually seen the movies she had acted in before.

"It's good to have a real temperament after performing, but acting skills are not that important," Kang Jianfei chatted with Liu Xiaoqing for a few words, and then asked Liang Jiahui, "Ah Hui is still signing the new Kunlun?" ”

Leung Ka-fai replied: "I didn't sign with any company, I used to be an entertainment reporter, and now I am a freelance actor. ”

Entertainment Journalist......

Leung Ka-fai's answer was a bit surprising to Kang Jianfei, he had never heard of Leung Ka-fai also working as an entertainment reporter.

Leung Ka-fai saw that Kang Jianfei was a little confused, so he began to explain his work experience in detail. It turned out that Leung Jiahui used to be a wireless artist training class, and he was also a classmate with Liu Dehua, but after reading the training class, he failed to sign a contract with TVB.

After that, Leung Ka-fai successfully entered a magazine as an entertainment reporter, and relying on his experience as a trainee in the wireless training class, he also dug up a lot of gossip.

Once Leung Ka-fai's magazine invited Li Hanxiang's daughter Li Tianlang to be the cover girl, and Leung Jiahui was responsible for the interview task and took pictures of Li Tianlang. It was this contact that Leung Ka-fai and Li Hanxiang's daughter began to fall in love. And won Li Hanxiang's appreciation.

Later, Li Hanxiang went north to shoot "The Burning of the Old Summer Palace" and "Listening to the Government with a Curtain", and called Leung Jiahui to go to Beijing/Beijing immediately. Liang Jiahui thought that Li Hanxiang was looking for him to be an assistant director or assistant director, he felt that he had nothing to do anyway, and it was a very rare good errand to be able to go to Beijing/Beijing for a year and get a salary.

As a result, after Liang Jiahui went to Beijing, Li Hanxiang directly asked him to shave his head and play the emperor.

Now the relationship between Leung Jiahui and Li Hanxiang's daughter has begun to fade, but his master-apprentice relationship with Li Hanxiang is very strong. After the popularity of "Listening to Politics with a Curtain", many companies asked Leung Jiahui to make a movie, but they were all blocked by Li Hanxiang, because Director Li Da felt that those scripts were too bad. will affect Leung Ka-fai's screen image.

Kang Jianfei sighed after listening to it: "Ah Hui, if you have a script, you can take it, maybe after this Academy Awards, no director in Hong Kong is willing to ask you to film." ”

"For what?" Leung asked.

Kang Jianfei asked rhetorically: "Liu Dehua is your classmate, do you know why he refused to come to the stage to accept the award last year?" ”

"Because "Running to the Angry Sea" was filmed in the mainland." Liang Jiahui immediately understood and asked. "Mr. Kang means that I will be banned by the Taiwan Information Bureau?"

Kang Jianfei nodded and said, "If you don't win the award, it's not a big problem." Once you get the trophy of the Academy Awards, the Taiwan Information Bureau will ban you 100 percent, unless you go to Taipei in person to admit your mistakes and write a letter of repentance. ”

Leung Ka-fai's temper was a little hard, and he said a little unhappily: "Why should I write a letter of repentance?" I didn't do anything wrong. ”

"If you want to make a movie someday, you can call me here." Kang Jianfei didn't say much to Liang Jiahui, but handed him a business card very rarely. Then he left to find Lin Qingxia under the pretext.

Liu Xiaoqing waited for Kang Jian to fly away before he asked Liang Jiahui: "Jiahui, is this Mr. Kang's Oriental DreamWorks as big as Director Li's New Kunlun Film Company?" ”

Liang Jiahui had not completely ended his relationship with Li Hanxiang's daughter at this time, so he hesitated and explained: "This." DreamWorks is one of the largest film companies in Hong Kong. ”

Liu Xiaoqing didn't know anything about the Hong Kong film industry and asked, "What are the biggest film companies in Hong Kong?" ”

Leung explained: "The largest ones are Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest, DreamWorks, Yindu and New Art City, and New Kunlun Pictures is a satellite subsidiary of Yindu Organization. ”

Liu Xiaoqing understood now, and said in surprise: "In other words, DreamWorks and Yindu are at the same level, and Director Li's new Kunlun is one level shorter?" ”

Liang Jiahui saw that Liu Xiaoqing understood the Hong Kong company as a government agency in the mainland, and he really couldn't explain it, so he could only nod and say: "That's pretty much it." ”

Liu Xiaoqing looked at Kang Jianfei's departing back and his eyes lit up, and thought: This Mr. Kang is so powerful at such a young age!

Seeing Kang Jianfei holding Lin Qingxia's hand and being surrounded by several reporters to take pictures, the woman's natural comparison psychology made Liu Xiaoqing unhappy, and asked, "Is that Mr. Kang's girlfriend?" It's pretty good-looking. ”

Leung Ka-fai said: "That's the big star Lin Qingxia, known as the first beauty in Asia, and she is also very famous in the United States and Europe. ”

Liang Jiahui said this, which made Liu Xiaoqing completely lose her temper, she is just a big star in the mainland, and the other party is already an internationally renowned actress.

Liu Xiaoqing didn't want to mention Lin Qingxia, a woman who was better than her, so she turned the topic to Kang Jianfei again, and said: "By the way, you just said that Mr. Kang is a big director, what movies has he made?" ”

"Mr. Kang has a lot of movies, you can bring a few boxes of movies and videos back when you go back to the mainland." Leung Ka-fai said, adding, "His movies are all very good, and my personal favorites are "Knife Horse" and "Mr. Zombie". ”

Liu Xiaoqing realized that Kang Jianfei seemed to be a big director, but he knew that Liang Jiahui was filming his ass, and she asked: "Mr. Kang is so young, how can he make so many movies?" ”

Leung Ka-fai whispered: "Mr. Kang's experience is well known to Hong Kong people, he came from the mainland more than four years later. ”

"He's also from the mainland?" Liu Xiaoqing cried out in surprise.

Liang Jiahui nodded and said: "I heard that he is from Bao'an, and he can't eat enough on the mainland, so he risked his life to swim to the sea to beg for a living." ”

Liu Xiaoqing asked in disbelief: "It's only been a few years, and he can start his own company?" ”

"It's not just the company," Leung Jiahui said with admiration, "This Academy Awards ceremony is hosted by Phoenix TV, and the boss behind Phoenix TV is Mr. Kang." ”

Liu Xiaoqing was more and more shocked: "How much money is he, he is still the boss of the TV station." ”

Leung Ka-fai said: "I don't know how much money he has, but his net worth of more than 1 billion Hong Kong dollars is certain, and it may have exceeded 2 billion." ”

Liu Xiaoqing, whose monthly salary has just risen to more than 60 yuan, is astronomical in her eyes, and now she listens to Liang Jiahui directly using 100 million to calculate Kang Jianfei's net worth, which makes Liu Xiaoqing feel that the entire world is beginning to be illusory.

"I have made more than one billion dollars in more than four years, and I can't rob a bank so fast." Liu Xiaoqing said in a trance that her three views had begun to collapse.

No way, the contrast between people is too great.

Liu Xiaoqing was still on strike last year because he could eat meat and rice, and Kang Jianfei, who was also born in the mainland, has already worked hard to make a net worth of hundreds of millions.

Originally, Liu Xiaoqing still believed that she was a big star in the mainland and had a sense of superiority, but now she feels that she has lived in vain in the first half of her life, and she has worked hard to make movies all her life, and the salary she gets is not as much as anyone else earns in a month.
