Dreams of the Fragrant River

~: Five hundred and eighty-four [Christmas

The main shooting location of "Fang Fang" is still in Tseung Kwan O, and the scenes were shot in the film and television city and by the sea. [This book is first published] For the convenience of filming, Sophie Marceau naturally cannot live in hotels on Hong Kong Island and Kowloon, but in a newly built elevator apartment in the Studio City.

With the growing scale of the Oriental Culture and Entertainment Group, the originally open film and television city quickly became crowded. Although the administrative building has not been increased, the apartment building in the dormitory area has been repaired to the fifth building, and the scale of the supermarket and canteen has also been expanded. The original simple antique street has now been expanded into an imitation ancient city.

Without the existence of the Oriental Culture and Entertainment Group, it is impossible for real estate developers to develop real estate here, because it is too remote, and it is not suitable for leisure.

But because of the group company's settlement, almost all employees in the company who are qualified to buy houses are eager to buy apartment suites in the dormitory area.

First, it is convenient to go to work. Second, with the employee discount, the housing prices here are terribly low (Kang Jianfei still makes a lot of money from selling properties), and only a fool would take advantage of it.

Now the dormitory area has been built with a wall to separate the office area, and employee ID cards are required to enter and exit the work area of ​​the film and television city. The qualifications for newly built real estate purchases have also been relaxed. As long as they have signed labor contracts with various companies under the Oriental Group and have worked for one year, they can purchase houses at a discount.

Of course, the longer you work in the Oriental Group, the bigger the discount will be for buying a house, which is also to reduce the frequency of employee job-hopping. If an employee resigns less than three years after buying a house at a low price, he must make up the discount before leaving.

In addition, Kang Jianfei also took out part of his shares in various companies and distributed them to those middle-level managers who have worked in the company for more than five years.

Sophie Marceau now lives in the fifth apartment that was built in the summer. The current occupancy rate is less than 20%, which is somewhat deserted.

"Kang, the special event you're talking about is here?" Sophie Marceau pointed up from the downstairs of the apartment building.

Kang Jianfei asked with a smile: "Why, I'm not welcome to be a guest at your house?"

Sophie Marceau gave Kang Jianfei a serious look. Said, "Well, I'm bored for Christmas by myself anyway."

The two walked into the elevator side by side, and just as the elevator door was about to close, suddenly a group of people rushed in with a frolic outside. Run in the front one. Holding a Christmas tree in his arms, the branch slammed into it and almost swept Kang Jianfei and Sophie Marceau in the face.

Kang Jianfei took a step back to protect Sophie Marceau, but his chest still hurt from being poked by a branch.

"Sorry, sorry!" The man holding the Christmas tree apologized quickly, and was pushed inward by the companion who came in from behind. A fake apple on the Christmas tree was pressed against Kang Jianfei's face.

Soon the elevator was full. Kang Jianfei, who was squeezed and unable to move, was extremely depressed, while the petite Sophie Marceau found it very interesting. Kang Jianfei, whose face was pressed by an apple, had a very funny expression.

Kang Jianfei raised his hand and pushed the apple away, and looked into the elevator through the Christmas tree. He found out that he actually knew three of these people.

One of them is Dawn, one of the four famous heavenly kings in the future, one is Zhou Haimei, who was praised by Kang Jianfei a few months ago, and the other is Sun Xing, who is notorious for his drug use and Haitian feast.

As for the other four men and three women, Kang Jianfei had no impression at all, but most of them were the same as Li Ming and Zhou Haimei. It is a newcomer signed in by the company in the past two years.

These newcomers do not say that they do not have enough working experience to be eligible to buy a house at a discount. Even if they are eligible to buy a house, they will definitely not be able to buy it. They should all be renting and living in this apartment building.

"Brother Xing, I heard that you are going to join the cast of "Peerless Double Pride"?"

"Thanks to (Dawn) for helping to speak up."

"It doesn't have much to do with me, it's A Xing who performed well, otherwise he wouldn't have passed the audition."

"Brother Xing, which role are you playing in the cast of "The Peerless Twins"?"

"Yulang Jiangfeng."

"Who?"

"Jiang Feng, Xiao Yu'er and Hua Wuque are his father."

"Is that the one who was killed by Yaoyue Lianxiang as soon as he appeared?"

"Are there too few scenes?"

"Not bad. This role is important."

"Yeah, Brother Xing is so handsome, it's just right to play Jade Lang Jiang Feng."

"..."

A group of newcomers were chatting non-stop, and the performances of Liming, Zhou Haimei and Sun Xing made Kang Jianfei, who was watching on the side, quite interesting.

Although Liming is a newcomer, this year's popularity is very fast. I can continue to spend Christmas with several other unknown newcomers, and my character is not bad, at least I haven't become popular for a while and don't recognize old friends.

Sun Xing is obviously a very sociable guy. He has also shot a few commercials (because he is handsome), and he can actually make others call him Xing brother willingly. Even the already well-known Dawn called him that.

As for Zhou Haimei, well, this female student didn't speak after entering the elevator, standing in the corner like a stuffy gourd watching other people.

Suddenly the elevator shook, and Kang Jianfei said, "Please let me borrow it!"

After the elevator door opened, Liming let out the Christmas tree, Kang Jianfei and Sophie Marceau squeezed out of the crowd.

It wasn't until the two of them walked far away that someone in the elevator said, "That hag (female foreigner) is on time!"

"Looks good."

"It's very familiar."

"It's an actress that the company just signed."

"I mean the man."

"Men? I couldn't see clearly because the Christmas tree blocked me just now."

"When he went out, I saw a profile that looked like our boss."

"boss?"

"Mr. Kang!"

"It's really him! I thought I was dazzled just now."

"That hag must be Sophie Marceau, the heroine of his new movie."

"The two of them actually spent Christmas together."

"Lonely man and widow, *, hehe!"

"Shh, don't talk nonsense, be careful to be known by the boss."

"..."

Several newcomers lowered their voices, and without saying a few words, they confirmed the possibility of Kang Jianfei having an affair with Sophie Marceau. Suddenly someone asked Zhou Haimei, who had been silent for a while: "Daiwei, Mr. Kang admires you very much. Has he invited you to dinner?"

Zhou Haimei carried a bag of snacks, smiled shyly and said, "I'm just a little actor, how could Mr. Kang invite me to dinner?"

"If I were you, I would take the initiative to go to Mr. Yokang. He named you to appear in "Pink Girl", and he must be very optimistic about you. The relationship between Dola and Lara is not a bad thing." A female newcomer said.

Zhou Haimei didn't know how to answer. Just smile and don't speak.

Several other women were chatting and talking, saying that a certain actor would immediately become popular because of Kang Jianfei's words.

They didn't just discuss Kang Jianfei's peach **** scandal, but also included male stars such as Zhou Xingchi, He Jiajin, and Xu Jinjiang. In the end, Sun Xing and several other men also joined the discussion.

Liming was embarrassed to speak at this time, because he, like Zhou Haimei, had a chance to come forward because of Kang Jianfei's optimism.

For the few young actors in the elevator, directors and assistant directors such as Yu Rentai and Ang Lee are big figures. And meeting Kang Jianfei in the elevator tonight was enough to make them excited for a while, at least they would have something to show off when bragging with their friends in the future.

...

After Sophie Marceau opened the door, she was about to say "please come in" to Kang Jianfei, but she stopped before she said it. She looked back at Kang Jianfei and asked, "Kang, is this a surprise for me?"

The lights on a Christmas tree in the living room are flickering. Through the faint colored light, one could vaguely see colored balloons and streamers hanging in the house.

Kang Jianfei laughed: "If you think so, so be it. Merry Christmas!"

"This is a nice gift, thank you." Sophie Marceau didn't blame Kang Jianfei for entering her room casually, because someone came in to clean the room every day. Sophie Marceau's clothes are also washed by a special person.

Sophie Marceau went into the room and turned on the light, and found that a sumptuous dinner had been prepared on the table, and all the hot food was still warm.

Women are sensitive animals. Sophie Marceau had obviously guessed Kang Jianfei's intentions. She folded her hands on her chest and turned her head smartly and said, "Kang, you are too careful. If you didn't have a girlfriend, I would I thought you were chasing me."

"If I was really after you, would you refuse?" Kang Jianfei asked with a smile, as if he had never heard of the rejection in Sophie Marceau's words.

Sophie Marceau shrugged: "Who knows? But thanks for your arrangement, at least this Christmas won't be too deserted."

Kang Jianfei went to the table, opened the cork of the wine, poured a glass of wine and handed it to Sophie Marceau. He picked up another cup and took a sip.

Sophie Marceau picked up the wine glass and walked to the balcony, where she could see the whole picture of Tseung Kwan O Studio City.

The area of ​​the administrative building in the distance has already darkened, and only a few rooms are still lit, while the ancient city and some studios are bright as day, and many crews are still rushing to shoot on Christmas Eve. Most of these crews do not belong to DreamWorks and East TV. Hundreds of film companies in Hong Kong will basically choose to rent the venue of Tseung Kwan O Film and Television City if they need a studio or antique buildings when filming.

As for why they didn't choose TVB's Clear Water Bay studio, the reason is very simple, because Tseung Kwan O is closer to Kowloon and Hong Kong Island, and the supermarkets, canteens and other supporting facilities are far more complete than the Clear Water Bay studio.

Not only that, due to the popularity of the Tseung Kwan O Film and Television City, which provided a catalyst for the British Hong Kong government to develop the small town of Tseung Kwan O, the construction and development of the town of Tseung Kwan O was at least two years faster than in another time and space.

Why so much faster?

The reason is very simple, the establishment and development of Tseung Kwan O Film and Television City provides opportunities for the nearby residents to make money.

If there is no film and television city here, the Hong Kong government will be playing tricks, and it will be difficult to persuade the residents of Tiaojingling Mountain and the fishermen from the seaside of Tseung Kwan O to move into the housing estate. The premise is that the employment and living problems of these people must be solved.

And now the first housing estate in Tseung Kwan O has developed next to the Studio City, which is Po Lam Village in another time and space.

The villagers do not need to travel far to Kowloon to sell the vegetables they grow and the fish they catch, they are sent directly to the film and television city. This is a mutually beneficial good thing. The villagers do not need to travel far, and the film and television city does not need to go to Kowloon and spend the freight to buy stale and high-priced dishes.

In addition, Tseung Kwan O Film and Television City also provides various employment opportunities. Salespersons in supermarkets, cooking food in canteens, sweeping floors, maintaining greening, etc. all require manpower, and many villagers have sneaked into various production crews. Running dragon set.

The wages of the nearby villagers are extremely low, which is a good thing for the recruiters. Now the food sold in the canteen of the film and television city is also extremely cheap. Even other companies who are filming in the film and television city directly pay for the set lunch box, so they will no longer have to trouble themselves with food.

Sophie Marceau has lived here for many days and has been busy filming. It was the first time she stood on the balcony to watch the night scene. Looking at the brightly lit Studio City in the night, Sophie Marceau couldn't help but praise: "Is this a movie factory?"

Kang Jianfei walked up to Sophie Marceau and looked down at the film and television city he built with his own hands. A bit of pride rose in his heart: "It's not just movies, but also TV dramas, records and animation companies." He said with a smile, "A few years ago , this place is still desolate, and there is no good road to the city."

"It only took a few years?" Sophie Marceau looked at the entire studio in surprise and exclaimed, "It's unimaginable!"

Sophie Marceau was obviously very interested in Kang Jianfei's entrepreneurial history. Kang Jianfei told his legendary story in a very calm tone on purpose.

Sophie Marceau was just an ignorant girl under the age of 20. Kang Jianfei was easily attracted by the process of smuggling to Hong Kong and starting her own business from scratch.

The lights in the room were all extinguished, and the two ate Christmas dinner by candlelight. Sophie Marceau listened to Kang Jianfei's stories while eating delicious food, raised her glass from time to time to touch Kang Jianfei, and looked at Kang Jianfei with admiration.

At the beginning, Kang Jianfei was just talking about the history of entrepreneurship, and it didn't take long for him to talk about various interesting things he encountered while making movies, and then he naturally talked about the mainland.

"Have you really met a monk with magical powers in Shaolin Temple?" Sophie Marceau asked curiously~lightnovelpub.net~ Kang Jianfei nodded with a smile and said with a small gesture: "Of course, he is me. The person with the best kung fu I have ever seen. At that time, we went to visit a young man who had practiced martial arts for more than ten years. Every attack of that young man was pushed away like a joke... "

"It's amazing, I must visit Shaolin Temple if I have the chance." Sophie Marceau said yearningly.

The dinner was spent in Kang Jianfei's bragging. Seeing that it was almost twelve o'clock, Kang Jianfei walked to a record player, and soon a beautiful dance music sounded in the room.

"Beautiful lady, do you have the honor to invite you to dance?" Kang Jianfei turned to Sophie Marceau and said.

Sophie Marceau drank a lot of red wine, and was fooled by Kang Jianfei. She extended her hand generously and said, "Of course, handsome gentleman."

Kang Jianfei walked over very gracefully and embraced Sophie Marceau's waist, sniffing the intoxicating fragrance of the woman, and dancing to the beautiful music.
