780【Regal Cocktail Party】

Villa 1 Repulse Bay Road.

The usually closed iron door was open, and from time to time luxury cars drove in, handing over invitations and driving into the villa.

Today is a good day for the 29th anniversary of the establishment of Macau Tourism and Entertainment Company, the foundation of Ho Gambling King, but the Ho family held a dinner not only for this purpose, but also to celebrate Ho Gambling King's bid to win the largest development project in Macau in decades, the Nam Van artificial lake development project.

He Chaoqiong was dressed up beautifully tonight, wearing a white lady's long dress, her hair was held in a high bun, and her necklace was adorned with a huge heart-shaped diamond, which was dazzling and dazzling, which contrasted with the white and flawless snow muscles on her chest.

Compared with He Chaoqiong's glamorous dress, Kang Jianfei was much more casual. He didn't care what formal banquet occasion he attended, he went out in a casual suit and didn't have a bow tie or anything.

If an ordinary businessman were to dress like this for a rich banquet, he would surely be laughed at as a hillbilly or a tasteless nouveau riche. But Kang Jianfei is the new richest man in Hong Kong, the second largest shareholder of Hollywood giant Paramount, and a tycoon in the entertainment industry, and it is absolutely impossible not to even understand the rules of dressing.

So Kang Jianfei wears it like this, which can be explained by his free and easy temperament.

When Kang Jianfei and He Chaoqiong arrived, there were already many people gathered in the banquet hall, and they formed a small circle chatting in twos and threes. As soon as the two arrived, they attracted a lot of attention, one is the richest man in Hong Kong, and the other is the daughter of the gambling king, and it is difficult not to attract attention.

He Gambling King was chatting with a few male guests, and the fourth wife, Liang Anqi, was still standing beside him. When he saw Kang Jianfei and his wife coming, he smiled and beckoned, "Ah Fei." Pansy, come over and meet a couple of uncles. ”

He Chaoqiong took Kang Jian and flew over, nodded and greeted, "Hello, Dad." Hello Uncle Zheng! ”

He Gambling King did not introduce the "Uncle Zheng" in He Chaoqiong's mouth, but first introduced another man who was over half a hundred years old: "Ah Fei, this is Chen Yuanguo, vice president of Nanwan Development Company. After speaking, He Gambling Wang added, "Vice President Chen is also from the mainland." ”

"It turned out to be Vice President Chen, who has admired the name for a long time, hello!" Kang Jianfei realized it instantly. Chen Yuanguo is the Chinese person in charge of the Nam Van Lake project.

Nam Van Lake is not just a man-made lake, it is a reclamation project in Macau to be precise, with the aim of creating a commercial tourism hub. The works are scheduled to be completed in three phases. The total investment is as high as 1.4 billion US dollars, and He Gambling King only accounts for 4% of the shares. Other investors include Hong Kong jewellery magnate Cheng Yu-tung, as well as investments from Portugal and Chinese mainland.

For Ho, the Nam Van Lake project isn't just about making money. The meaning of its politics is more important to him. This is the first time he has worked directly with a Chinese company.

In fact, three years ago, He Gambling King was recognized by the Chinese side. At that time, the Sino-Portuguese negotiations had just ended, and Ho Gambling Wang took the initiative to donate an antique of boxwood Dharma statue to the Forbidden City, and was later appointed by the Central Committee as the deputy director of the Drafting Committee of the Macao Basic Law and the deputy director of the Preparatory Committee of the Special Administrative Region. This can be regarded as a reassuring pill for He Gambling King, but due to the lack of trust, he still continues to allocate funds to invest in Canada, and is ready to run away at any time.

In this Nam Van Lake project, He Gambling King and the Chinese side finally have business cooperation. This made him feel more at ease than the position of deputy director.

"I have admired Mr. Kang for a long time, and I have heard about Mr. Kang's deeds in the mainland." Chen Yuanguo smiled at King He and said, "Mr. He is as wise as a torch and has recruited a good son-in-law." ”

"It's rare for young people to be aggressive." He gambled on the king's head, he was obviously very proud of recruiting the richest man's son-in-law, but he put on a not salty and indifferent look.

He Gambling King also introduced: "This is Mr. Zheng Yutong, the king of jewelry. ”

Kang Jianfei shook hands with Zheng Yutong and said, "Hello Mr. Zheng." ”

"Yes, yes, it's really a young talent." Zheng Yutong praised sincerely. Kang Jianfei has saved a net worth of more than 30 billion Hong Kong dollars in just 12 years, which makes Zheng Yutong, who has become rich in industry and real estate, breathtaking.

He also introduced two Portuguese ghosts, one is the official representative of the Portuguese and Macao governments, and the other is the Portuguese representative of the Nanwan Company.

This is Kang Jianfei's first public appearance as the son-in-law of the gambling king, and the gambling king took Kang Jianfei and He Chaoqiong to the banquet hall and solemnly introduced him to some important figures.

Although Kang Jianfei is known as the richest man in Hong Kong, he is still just a newcomer in the Hong Kong rich circle, or he is busy with his career and women, and has never integrated into that circle.

Kang Jianfei is not interested in integrating into that circle, he is engaged in the entertainment industry, and he is not short of money to attract investment, so there is no need to deal with those rich people.

However, there are exceptions, such as how Chaoqiong's uncle, the famous playboy Ye Deli. This old gentleman is said to have had more than 100 girlfriends, and a lot of confidants are still surrounded by him when he is old. The most sensational thing he has ever done is not to open a casino or anything, but to invite 52 ex-girlfriends and their husbands and children to celebrate his 70th birthday with him on vacation in Mexico seven years ago, and each guest was given a generous gift.

A strong life doesn't need to be explained.

At this moment, Mr. Ye, who is 77 years old, is still holding a 20-year-old young model by his side. may have heard of Kang Jianfei's romantic reputation, Ye Deli is very kind to Kang Jianfei, if it weren't for the presence of others, it is estimated that these two would have already talked about the experience of picking up girls.

He Gambling King just helped Kang Jianfei introduce those wealthy people of the older generation, and the younger generation or those who were not strong enough were introduced by He Chaoqiong and He Chaoxiong brothers and sisters.

"This is Mr. Zheng Jiachun, the eldest son of Elder Zheng."

"This is Mr. Du Huikai, the general manager of New World Hotel."

"This is Ms. Bao Beili, the daughter of the charter king."

"This is ......"

After half an hour, Kang Jianfei got to know some of Hong Kong's rich generation. The second generation, the rich third generation and young talents.

Although these people's attitudes towards Kang Jianfei are very enthusiastic, there are still differences when you look closely, some are really enthusiastic, and some are fake. They each have their own circles, and after they get to know each other, they are just polite words, how can there be so many things that are familiar at first sight.

Until the music plays. Kang Jianfei took He Chaoqiong's hand and danced for a while, so that he had time to sit down and drink something.

Liang Anqi, the fourth wife, who was originally just a follower by He Gambling King's side, became the center of the dance field at this time. The beautiful appearance and elegant and moving materials made many men glance at her intentionally or unintentionally.

"This fourth aunt has good dancing skills." Kang Jianfei sipped red wine and smiled.

He Chaoqiong was obviously very disgusted with the fourth aunt of the gambling king, and snorted coldly and said, "It's just a fox spirit." ”

The fourth wife, Liang Anqi, used to be Guang. The dancers of the State Art Troupe are very bad when they come to Macao alone. Five years ago, she seized the opportunity to sneak into a private dance party, and a dance fascinated King He Gambler, and officially became the fourth aunt two years ago.

Since the fourth aunt got started. The gambling king focused on her, attending balls, banquets or something, and the fourth wife was always followed by her.

At this time, the fourth aunt, Tailiang Anqi, was dancing with a young man in his 30s. Both of them danced very well, and gradually everyone else next to them stopped and gathered around to enjoy the dancing of the two.

At the end of the song, Liang Anqi very elegantly bent down to the audience and made a ladylike salute. The audience responded with a round of applause.

He Gambling King was also applauding vigorously. When he saw his fourth wife dancing with other men, he was not jealous, but was happy that his woman was the focus.

"Baby, you're dancing amazing!" He Gambling King praised.

A moment later, when the dance music sounded again, a middle-aged man came over and stretched out his hand and said, "Miss He, are you lucky enough to be able to dance together?" ”

He Chaoqiong looked at Kang Jianfei. Seeing that he nodded slightly, he stood up and smiled: "Please." ”

The young man nodded politely at Kang Jianfei. Then he took He Chaoqiong to dance.

Kang Jianfei felt bored, and if there was a suitable object for hunting on the scene, he would definitely invite others to dance with great interest. But there are only two kinds of women who come to the ball, one is a rich and celebrity, and the other is the female companion of a rich man, Kang Jianfei is not easy to start or has no interest in starting - the main thing is that He Chaoqiong is here, he is not good at going too far.

"There are so many beauties, why don't you dance a song?" Ye Deli came over with red wine, and his young model girlfriend was now dancing with other men.

Kang Jianfei said with a smile: "I can't dance well, I heard that Mr. Ye danced all over the dance field when he was young, and he charmed thousands of beautiful girls by dancing. ”

"The good man doesn't mention the courage of the year, he is old, he is old," Ye Deli smiled proudly, "Don't call me old gentleman, follow Arjun to call me uncle." ”

Kang Jianfei pointed to the young model on the dance field and said, "Uncle, you are not old with a sword, and your heroes are not diminished. ”

Ye Deli laughed heartily: "Hahaha, if I were 50 years younger, I would definitely have a good fight with you kid." ”

When the two salty wet guys were joking, the fourth aunt Tailiang Anqi came over at some point, sat down next to Kang Jianfei familiarly, and said, "What are the two of you talking about, laughing so happily." ”

Ye Deli is worthy of being a veteran of Henghua for decades, and he is obedient and comes as soon as he opens his mouth: "We were talking about the dance of the fourth lady just now, and it is as beautiful as a fairy descending to earth." ”

Liang Anqi glanced at Ye Deli charmingly: "You came to make fun of me again." ”

Ye Deli stood up with a smile and said, "You young people talk, my old man will not be in the way." ”

After Ye Deli left, Liang Anqi asked Kang Jianfei: "Why doesn't Mr. Kang go to dance?" ”

Kang Jianfei tilted his head and glanced at it, and found that the gambling king was sitting in the corner with Zheng Yutong and Chen Yuanguo to talk about things, so he turned around and said, "I didn't dance well." ”

"Don't lie to me," Liang Anqi looked at Kang Jianfei with his cheeks in his hand, and said with a smile, "I have seen your performance in "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", in which you danced with Zhong Chuhong is very exciting, but it is not something that novices can dance. ”

Kang Jianfei said: "I don't dance because I don't have a good dance partner. ”

Liang Anqi blinked his eyes and asked, "Do you think I'm a good dance partner?" ”

Kang Jianfei smiled: "If I dance with you, Arjun will probably go crazy on the spot." ”

Liang Anqi smiled and said: "Aren't you known as the 'Hong Kong and Kowloon Love Saint'? Still afraid of your wife? ”

Kang Jianfei was speechless: "I have this nickname? ”

"It's been spread all over the world for a long time." Liang Anqi said.

Kang Jianfei spread his hands: "Actually, this is all a misunderstanding of outsiders, I am a very dedicated person." ”

"You're humorous." Liang Anqi covered his mouth and snickered.

To be honest, in terms of appearance and temperament. The fourth aunt, Tailiang Anqi, can score 90 points here with Kang Jianfei. If the other party is free, Kang Jianfei doesn't mind communicating with her to discuss his life ideals, but Liang Anqi is the gambling king's favorite little wife. Kang Jianfei will not move no matter how much the sperm worm is on his brain.

But judging by Kang Jianfei's rich experience, this Liang Anqi is definitely seducing him.

Liang Anqi suddenly covered his smile and said reminiscingly: "I'm just like you. Those who come out from the east are half a year later than you. I could only dance, nothing else, and even went hungry several times and couldn't sleep in the middle of the night. A full five years. Living a precarious life. Do you know what my greatest pleasure was at the time? ”

Kang Jianfei didn't know what this fourth aunt was crazy about, and when he suddenly said these words to him, he could only ask, "What fun?" ”

"It's just going to the cinema to see your movie." Liang Anqi Gege smiled, "At that time, I thought, the same is from Guang. Coming from the east, I'm so badly mixed. I don't even have the face to go back to my hometown. You started your own company and made a lot of money. Surely he is a very good man, but I'm a fan of yours. ”

Liang Anqi's intention to seduce became more and more obvious, and Kang Jianfei only responded without a word, but he was wondering what he wanted to do.

Kang Jianfei thought about it, probably there was only one possibility, this woman seemed to be really interested in him, of course it was the interest of that kind of friend. Liang Anqi finally became the fourth wife of the gambling king, and naturally it is impossible to elope for true love. But feelings and flesh. There is still a pursuit of the body.

Suddenly, Liang Anqi's face changed slightly. quietly stuffed a note in Kang Jianfei's hand, and then got up and left with a calm face.

Kang Jianfei knew that it was He Chaoqiong who came over when he heard the footsteps, and when the two women staggered by, they didn't even say hello, obviously not interested in communicating with each other.

"You're having a good time talking to her, aren't you?" He Chaoqiong said in a sour tone.

Kang Jianfei quietly put away the note that Liang Anqi gave him, and said: "Who knows what this woman is crazy about, and suddenly came to make friends with my fellow countrymen." ”

……

When Kang Jianfei attended the He family's banquet, Liang Jiahui, Zhong Chuhong, Lan Jieying and other members of the "Truman's World" crew had already started a promotional show in Cannes.

Now DreamWorks has a strong family background, and it is not as petty as before, and it directly holds a banquet at the Cannes Bao Hotel, inviting many film critics and reporters to do publicity.

As for Kang Jianfei, he is also an internationally renowned director now, and big names should always appear at the last moment.

On the fourth day of the Cannes Film Festival, "Truman's World" finally began to be screened. Because Kang Jianfei and Liang Jiahui are both famous in Europe, and there are many fans who come to watch the movie, the organizing committee of the film festival gave them very good treatment, and more than 20 screening halls were screened at the same time.

Compared with Hong Kong and the United States, "Truman's World" is actually more suitable for French audiences. Moreover, in order to cater to the different preferences of audiences around the world, the European version of "Truman's World" has changed many details, cutting out some vulgar scenes that are purely funny, and adding some plots with a sad atmosphere of egg pain.

The effect of the screening does not need to be explained, just look at the full screening hall to know how popular the film is.

The two house books of the Cannes Film Festival gave a score of 2.5 for "The Screen" and 3.2 for "The Hollywood Reporter" on the second day. This is a relatively high score, and the score of the Cannes house magazine rarely exceeds 3 points, and the film critics are even more praised.

"An intriguing film, completely different from Kang's other work, Fang Fang, the director puts his understanding of life into the film this time, constituting a new and creepy absurd world ......" - The Hollywood Reporter

"Our life is a prison, and everyone is a prisoner......" - "The Screen"

The house catalogue does not represent the opinion of the jury, but this time it is definitely consistent with the majority of fans. "Truman's World" is not difficult to film, everyone can understand the deep meaning it expresses, but at the same time it can give the audience a deep feeling.

The audience who can come to the Cannes Film Festival is a movie lover, and "Truman's World" satisfies their dual needs for watching movies and pretending, and this summer's Cannes has attracted wide attention.

As for what the judges of the jury think, only the devil knows, there have been many films with good reputations in the past, but they didn't even catch a hair at the Cannes Film Festival.

Fortunately, "Truman's World" has not won awards at other international film festivals, otherwise there is no hope of winning at Cannes. (To be continued......)
