Dreams of the Fragrant River

Chapter 63



: Sixty-Three [A Woman Who Loves Vanity]

Wen Bixia brought the last dish to the table, and Hu Juncai moved his chopsticks and said, “A Fei, I’m going to move out in a few days.”

“Where to move?” Kang Jianfei asked.

Hu Juncai said with a bit of difficulty: “Move to Amin’s house.”

Kang Jianfei asked in surprise, “So soon, Amin’s family agreed?”

Hu Juncai said, “I didn’t agree at first. After the first day of the new year, her family didn’t like me, but they agreed within a few days.”

Kang Jianfei immediately understood, and asked with a smile: “Because “Happy Ghost” is a hit, you are the male lead of “Happy Ghost”, and you are also friends with a million-dollar director like me, so now they are very enthusiastic about you, Are you also urging you to get married sooner?”

Hu Juncai nodded awkwardly.

Wen Bixia sat on the table and interjected, “It’s such a good force!”

Hu Juncai explained to his girlfriend’s family: “Their thoughts are understandable. After all, I have no money and no house, and I’m still a mainland boy who just came to Hong Kong.”

Kang Jianfei sighed and said, “Oh, let me know when you move in another day, and I’ll send you off.”

“Okay,” Hu Juncai nodded. He is now obedient to Kang Jianfei and full of hope for their future. He asked expectantly, “A Fei, when will your company start?”

Kang Jianfei said: “Don’t worry, you go to help me find an office these few days, and if you see a suitable office, write it down for me, and confirm the company’s office address first. The next step is to recruit people. A month or two.”

While eating, the two discussed the establishment of the company in the future.

Hu Jun was not competent enough, so he could only be Kang Jianfei’s assistant temporarily, and he could only be entrusted with important tasks after learning more. Uncle Biao is also a good-natured man, and he has no opinion, so he can only continue to do his technical work, and at most he will be the head of the technical department in the future.

On the other hand, it was Zhou Mingfang, my cousin. Kang Jianfei felt that she was a very capable person. In addition, she had worked as a financial officer in Jiashi before, so she could hand over the financial affairs of Oriental DreamWorks to her. If Zhou Mingfang is capable enough, he can even be the company’s big housekeeper in the future.

The most important thing now is to improve the various departments of the company. Don’t let Kang Jianfei do it himself after filming and even buying a roll of toilet paper!

Hu Jun is a hard worker. After eating, he went out to look for an office building. Wen Bixia came over with a pile of newspapers and magazines, sat down next to Kang Jianfei, and said with a smile, “Brother, these are all praises of “Happy Ghost”, I found them all.”

Kang Jianfei put his arms around her slender waist and asked, “They all praise me? Some scold me too.”

Wen Bixia pouted and said, “Hmph, I have written down the names of those newspapers that speak ill of us, and I will never buy them again.”

“Hahaha,” Kang Jianfei laughed, “If you are like you, if you become a star for a few more years, then there will be no newspapers that you can buy in Hong Kong.”

Wen Bixia said, “Anyway, I just don’t like people speaking ill of you.”

Wen Bixue brought this pile of publications, including newspapers and magazines. Kang Jianfei picked up a newspaper and looked at it: “…The Hong Kong film industry is resurgent, and the war in the Spring Festival New Year stalls has subsided…”Happy Ghost” became a dark horse at the box office, which was unexpected. The box office took the lead in breaking the 10 million mark and became the highest-grossing film in the history of Hong Kong movies… Kang Jianfei, the director of “Happy Ghost”, became famous in one fell swoop, and was praised as a ‘tens of millions of directors’… “Happy Ghost” “The box-office hit, declaring that the co-existence of Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest in the Hong Kong film industry has been broken. In the future, Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest, and Golden Princess will compete for hegemony…”

It’s an old saying again, Kang Jianfei threw the newspaper aside and picked up a magazine, which turned out to be “Movie Weekly”.

Kang Jianfei was somewhat surprised by the appearance of this future famous movie magazine. Except for the cover, it was all printed in black and white, and the quality was so low that it resembled the free promotional magazines distributed by later generations of hospitals.

However, the article is a bit more interesting than the newspaper, and the title is “Kang Jianfei’s Movie Dream”.

“… An all-star photo of Shaw Brothers more than 10 years ago gave Hong Kong a reputation as the Hollywood of the East. Today, a mainland boy who has just swam across the sea for only a few months, miraculously started from scratch and created his own Film company, and called his film company the ‘Oriental DreamWorks’. Perhaps, in Kang Jianfei’s heart, he was not satisfied with being the second in Hollywood, but wanted to create a film dream factory standing in the East.

…Before evaluating “Happy Ghost”, I actually want to evaluate the opening animation of “Oriental DreamWorks”. The dreamy pictures and music can touch the softest and most sensitive place in the heart of everyone who loves movies. It is a kind of shock from the soul.

… The shooting of “Happy Ghost” was very difficult. Director Kang Jianfei only had more than 500,000 yuan in his hand at the time. This was the manuscript fee he had paid in advance for “Xun Qin Ji” for the past two years. Sold 50,000. 550,000 yuan, this is all he has, once he loses it, he has nothing. When it was turned on, Kang Jianfei couldn’t even guarantee the normal release of “Happy Ghost”.

… Xu Ke, who has a cameo in this film, said that when “Happy Ghost” was filmed, Kang Jianfei had to do the work of five or six people by himself, and was the busiest director he had ever seen. Perhaps, this is the key to his success. A talented and courageous person, if he fails, he is blind.

…”

Kang Jianfei read the whole article and stroked the fluffy beard on his chin: “So I am so noble and great, I am full of positive energy!”

Wen Bixia flattered and said, “Brother, this article is the best written, it’s all the truth.”

“Well, I like people who tell the truth.” Kang Jianfei said and opened another entertainment magazine. This magazine did not mention Kang Jianfei very much. The whole article was about three beautiful girls, Wen Bixia, Li Saifeng and Li Shan, and praised them. The youth is invincible and lovely.

Wen Bixia lay on Kang Jianfei’s shoulder and said, “This article is also well written.”

Kang Jianfei couldn’t help but be amused. In Wen Bixian’s eyes, what she said was a good article.

He flipped through a few reports, because all the articles that scolded him were thrown away by Wen Bixia. Kang Jianfei felt that it was meaningless after reading a few touted articles, so he threw the newspapers aside and said to Wen Bixia, “Xiaxia, It’s been so long since the New Year, why don’t you go home to take a look.”

Wen Bixia lowered her head and pinched it for a long time before she said, “I’m a big star now. Of course, I want to be more beautiful when I go back. I’ll go back when I make another movie and make money.”

Hearing what she said, Kang Jianfei suddenly realized that Wen Bixia wanted to return home, but now she only had a little pocket money from Kang Jianfei, and she felt that it was shameful to go home now.

Typical love and vanity!

However, Kang Jianfei likes this kind of woman and will be very controllable in the future. He smiled and said, “I was negligent. Xiaxia is a big star now, of course she wants to go home in a beautiful and beautiful way. I will pay you 10,000 yuan in advance, You buy something to go back to your family and neighbors.”

“Brother, you’re so nice!” Wen Bixia was overjoyed and jumped into Kang Jianfei’s arms to act like a spoiled child. The two little white rabbits on her chest rubbed against Kang Jianfei intentionally or unintentionally.

10,000 yuan. At this time, the wages of skilled workers in Hong Kong were only more than 1,000 yuan, the monthly salary of restaurant waiters was only 800 to 900 yuan, and the odd jobs for food delivery were at most 600 yuan a month.

After Wen Bixia got the money, the thick stack of banknotes made her tremble with excitement. It took her a long time to recover. She took Kang Jianfei’s hand and said, “Brother, accompany me to buy things.”

“Okay!” Kang Jianfei stretched out his arms to wrap his arms around her waist, while Wen Bixian took Kang Jianfei’s arm naturally, and even Kang Jianfei’s hand touched her small buttocks back and forth without any resistance.

“Brother, do you think this dress looks good?”

“This necklace is very nice!”

“Sister, please bring those silver-white shoes.”

“…”

Wen Bixia is very gifted in shopping. The huge sum of 10,000 yuan spent more than 6,000 yuan in half a day in her hands. Fortunately, not only did she buy things for herself, but she also bought gifts for her seven siblings and her parents, as well as good neighbors.

Kang Jianfei reminded: “The principal of your school, Lin, takes good care of you. You are able to film this time thanks to his help. Should you buy some gifts to thank him?”

Wen Bixia was very generous and went to buy another gold pen, which cost more than 200 yuan.

When he came back, Kang Jianfei had already hung up a shopping bag, and he was very relieved to see Wen Bixia’s unfinished expression. If Wen Bixia continues to maintain this state, she will never escape his control for the rest of her life.

When they passed a store, the two saw countless teenagers crowding at the door of the store, and they surrounded them curiously, only to hear those young people pushing and shouting:

“I want the desk calendar on the cover of Li Saifeng’s swimsuit!”

“Boss~www.readwn.com~ I want Wen Bixia’s calendar poster!”

“Don’t grab it, I chose this one first.”

“…”

Wen Bixia asked Kang Jianfei suspiciously, “Brother, why did I hear that someone was calling my name?”

“You are a big star now.” Kang Jianfei laughed.

“Happy Ghost” has exceeded 10 million at the box office, and its influence is far from being clearly described by a box office number. It has already set off a whirlwind among the youth groups in Hong Kong, and it is no exaggeration to say that “Happy Ghost” is a phenomenal film.

These desk calendars, wall calendars and portraits of “Happy Ghost” were all made by the manufacturer after the film was released, and the manufacturer contacted Kang Jianfei to make them. For example, for a portrait, Kang Jianfei can get a profit of 10 cents; selling a desk calendar and a wall calendar, Kang Jianfei can get a profit ranging from 30 cents to 1 yuan.

Not only these, even the stationery factory and the toy factory are preparing to print the happy ghost pattern, then Kang Jianfei will be able to make another profit. It is a pity that the piracy situation in Hong Kong is very serious at this time. Most of the peripheral products have nothing to do with Kang Jianfei. The profits are all made by pirates and illegal traders.

Wen Bixia was about to squeeze in to see her when suddenly a student who had bought the calendar saw her and immediately shouted happily, “Axia, it’s Wen Bixia!”

After more than ten seconds, the teenagers who were shopping all gathered around, and even the store owner came to ask Wen Bixia to sign, in order to use this to attract young customers.

Although Wen Bixia was a little nervous at this time, she was no longer at a loss when she faced the fans last time. She spoke and signed autographs with the fans with a smile on her face. She seemed to enjoy this kind of scenery.
