Dreams of the Fragrant River

Chapter 32



: Thirty-Two [Tiaojingling Middle School]

Wu Chenggang was riding his car and was about to go to work, but when he saw Kang Jianfei walking slowly, he stopped the car and asked, “A Fei, what’s the matter so early?”

Kang Jianfei patted the manuscript in his hand and said, “I’m looking for my cousin.”

When Wu Chenggang mentioned this, he was a little annoyed. He only learned a few days ago that “Looking for Qin Ji” was actually edited by his son Wu Ruiqing. There are a lot of meat scenes in this novel, and Wu Ruiqing is only fifteen years old…

Wu Chenggang said with an ugly face: “A Fei, ask someone else to revise your novel, don’t look for A Qing.”

“Okay.” Kang Jianfei changed the subject and asked, “By the way, uncle, my film has already started to be filmed. How are you thinking about it?”

Wu Chenggang sighed and said, “I know I can’t persuade you, but I hope you think more about it. It’s easy to lose everything in making a movie.”

Kang Jianfei said with a smile: “It’s because it’s easy to lose money, so I asked Uncle Biao to set up a lighting team. I don’t feel relieved to find someone else. If I find someone who is uneasy and has poor skills to do it, what should I do if I screw up? Uncle Biao, You have good lighting skills, come and help me for a month, and you have the heart to watch my hundreds of thousands of investments go to waste?”

Speaking of which, Wu Chenggang can still agree? If he doesn’t agree, when Kang Jianfei’s movie hits the streets in the future, wouldn’t he be blamed!

“Okay, okay, call me then!” Wu Chenggang didn’t want to talk nonsense with Kang Jianfei anymore, anyway, he didn’t think Kang Jianfei’s movie would make money.

Kang Jianfei laughed and said, “Uncle Biao, you are the only one in the lighting team now. You have to recruit them yourself.”

Wu Chenggang said with tears in his eyes, “I’m really convinced, I dare to make a movie if I don’t have anything. I’m usually very smart, why is this kind of thing confusing? Okay, I’ll take care of the lighting team and wait for the movie to be made. Just don’t blame me if you lose money. I’m going to work, you can do it yourself.”

“Uncle Biao, walk slowly!” Kang Jianfei waved from behind.

Before Wu Chenggang had gone far, Zhou Mingfang had already led her daughter Wu Ruixue downstairs, followed by Wu Ruiqing.

Kang Jianfei greeted his aunt, then walked up to his cousin and said, “Aqing, I’m looking for you for something.”

Wu Ruiqing whispered: “Cousin, next time you will tell my dad that the manuscript of your current novel was modified by someone else, so let’s not let him find out.”

“Understood,” Kang Jianfei said as he walked to the station with his shoulders on his shoulders, “I have other business with you today. Does your school have a high school department?”

Wu Ruiqing nodded and said, “Yes, why are you asking this?”

Kang Jianfei smiled and said, “Let’s go, I’ll go to school with you.”

Wu Ruiqing didn’t know what his cousin was up to, so he asked curiously, “What are you going to learn from us?”

Kang Jianfei said, “Cousin is going to make a movie, and I’m going to pick some students to be actors.”

“Making a movie?” Wu Ruiqing’s eyes lit up and asked, “Cousin, I want to be an actor too, do you think I can do it?”

Kang Jianfei said perfunctorily: “Well, I’ll give you a small role then.”

“Oh drink!” Wu Ruiqing jumped up happily.

…………

…………

My uncle’s family used to live in Tiaojingling, so Wu Ruiqing naturally went to school in Tiaojingling. Now that she has moved to Shek Kip Mei, Wu Ruixue has changed schools, but Wu Ruiqing has not changed schools because she is approaching graduation.

On the bus to the school, Kang Jianfei asked casually, “Aqing, why did you live in Tiaojingling before? It seems very remote, and it’s not convenient for my uncle to go to work.”

Wu Ruiqing didn’t have any scheming, and directly told the family’s previous situation: “I remember when I was a child, I lived in Kowloon Walled City at first, and then my father offended people because he saved his little mother (Zhou Mingfang), so he moved to the transfer office. Jingling. There are many veterans in Tiaojingling, and the bad guys in the Kowloon Walled City dare not mess around. Plus there is a school nearby, we stayed there until we arrived at Shek Kip Mei last year.”

“Why are there so many veterans in Tiaojingling?” Kang Jianfei asked curiously. He didn’t know that a palm-sized place in Tiaojingling not only had many veterans, but also produced a lot of famous people. People like Chen Yulian, Wen Bixia, Huang Yuanshen and others all came from Tiaojingling, while Future Taiwan. The big guy in the Bay Area, Xiao Ma, was also born in Tiaojingling.

The origin of the name of Tiaojingling is very special. After the government moved to Taiwan in 1949, some retired veterans and their families who were unwilling or unable to move to Taiwan were resettled in Moxingling Citizen Village. However, the following year, a group of leftist students went to the Mount Moxingling refugee area to provoke the veterans, which eventually turned into bloodshed.

Later, the Hong Kong government moved the group of veterans and their families to Tiaojingling, and renamed it “Tiaojingling”, which means “adjusting the situation”.

Over the past few decades, the residents of Diaojingling have gradually increased, but most of them are still the families and descendants of KMT veterans. Because of this, the political atmosphere here is very strong. On October 10th every year, the residents will have a holiday and gather with teachers and students from all schools in Tiaojingling Middle School. The residents and students celebrate the “National Day” together at the school. Hanging the blue sky and white sun flag.

Wu Ruiqing probably remembered the embarrassing incident in the past, and grinned: “When we lived in Tiaojingling, on October 10th every year, my father wouldn’t allow us to go out, and my sister and I had to copy it a hundred times each.” Long live GCD’. I was writing with three pens tied together at the time…”

Just as he was talking, Wu Ruiqing suddenly stood up and said, “We’re here, get off.”

After Kang Jianfei got off the bus with him, he looked at the next stop sign and said, “This is only Kwun Tong, why did you get off the bus?”

Wu Ruiqing explained: “There are no cars on the road ahead. Every day I take the bus to Kwun Tong, and then go to Tiao Jingling for class by bicycle.”

Kang Jianfei was madly sweating, Tiaojingling was too remote at this time, but one would know that the residents there were called refugees.

Wu Ruiqing pointed to a residential house on the side of the road and said, “That’s Uncle Jing’s house. Uncle Jing and my dad are good friends. My bicycle is kept in his house.”

“You don’t need to take the bicycle, we’ll go by car today.” Kang Jianfei grabbed him and asked, “Why don’t you transfer to the school?”

Wu Ruiqing said with a smile: “I will graduate soon, it’s too troublesome to turn around. Actually, it’s not far. It’s only seven or eight miles from here by bike.”

Kang Jianfei thought to himself: Uncle Biao’s family is too frugal, so they don’t even transfer school for their son.

Kang Jianfei called and stopped a taxi. As soon as the driver heard that he was going to Tiaojingling, he shook his head and said that the road conditions were too bad and refused to go. In the end, Kang Jianfei threw him fifty dollars before agreeing.

The taxi bumped along the weedy dirt road for a while. When they arrived at Tiaojingling, Kang Jianfei finally understood what a slum area is.

After Kang Jianfei got out of the car, he looked up, and he could vaguely see the lonely tombs and crooked tombstones in the wilderness. The housing situation is even worse. From the oil-paper sheds in the refugee camps, to the squatter huts and slatted buildings built on the hills, to the private housing estates with clear property rights, the entire block here is a messy and crowded shantytown, which is almost invisible. There is not a decent street, only a winding path of crooked stone steps.

Kang Jianfei was very surprised. He didn’t expect that in the late 1970s, there was such a place in Hong Kong.

Wu Ruiqing smiled helplessly and said: “Everyone who has some money has moved out. My dad also saved some money to buy a house, but after Jiashi collapsed last year, my dad suddenly lost his job, and a friend from the TV station invited him to come with him. Do business. Then, there is no then…”

If it was Hu Juncai, he would ask if he lost money in business, while Kang Jianfei would ask, “That friend ran away with your dad’s money?”

Wu Ruiqing nodded angrily and said, “My dad worked hard for 20 years to save more than 100,000 yuan, and he was tricked by that **** for more than half of it~www.readwn.com~ Kang Jianfei patted his shoulder, and then walked towards Tiaojingling Middle School. go.

Diaojingling Middle School is very small, there are only a few teaching buildings in total, but the sports field is very large. After all, students and residents of all schools near the Double Tenth Festival come here to celebrate every year, and there must be a large enough venue for the celebration. .

When Kang Jianfei saw this situation, he immediately became overjoyed. This is a shooting location that God has given him!

In the movie “Happy Ghost”, the school sports meeting is very important. Taking the current situation of Tiaojingling Middle School, if I only need to spend a few thousand yuan to help them build a few sunshades around the sports field, and then spend some money to repair the sports field for them, I can definitely persuade the school to organize the students to make a film for him for free.

In this way, Kang Jianfei can at least save tens of thousands of dollars in his budget.

As for the indoor scenes, I can only choose other places to shoot, because the school building conditions of this school are too rudimentary, which is very different from the aristocratic school in the movie.

Kang Jianfei carefully looked at the environment around the playground, thinking about how to set the scene to shoot, from which angle to avoid those dilapidated teaching buildings…

After having a general idea, Kang Jianfei asked, “Aqing, where is your principal’s office?”

Wu Ruiqing walked towards a teaching building and said, “I’ll take you there.”

Kang Jianfei followed Wu Ruiqing to the principal’s room. After sending Wu Ruiqing back to class, he was about to raise his hand to knock on the door when suddenly the door opened by himself, and a girl ran out of it recklessly, directly bumping into Kang Jianfei.
