At the Jingcheng Hotel, Li Hanxiang carefully wiped a pen holder and said, "Mr. Kang, thank you this time, otherwise I don't know where to look for investment. [First issue]"

"It's just a little effort." Kang Jianfei smiled, feeling somewhat emotional in his heart.

This Li Hanxiang was one of Shao Yifu's generals back then. He defected from Shaw Brothers and went to Taiwan. With the support of Cathay Pacific and the Federation's two cinema chains, he established his own League of Nations movie kingdom in Taiwan. The Taiwanese film industry in the 1960s could be said to be the world of Guolian Films. At that time, more than half of the Taiwanese film stars were cultivated by Li Hanxiang.

It is a pity that Guolian Pictures was not well managed and had to declare bankruptcy. In the end, all its studios and distribution channels in Taiwan were inherited by the newly emerging Golden Harvest, which provided important resources for the growth of Golden Harvest.

The former Taiwanese film hegemon can only return to Hong Kong in a dreadful way, making a living by making movies for Shaw Brothers. In order to make a living by filming, he had to go north to cooperate with the mainland, but was blocked by the Taiwan authorities.

After two films were made, the vice chairman of the National People's Congress and Macau King He Xian, who had invited Li Hanxiang to go north to make films, passed away one after another, and Li Hanxiang had a conflict with the film studio in the Mainland.

Li Hanxiang, a famous director and film tycoon of a generation, is sad to be in this field. In order to invest in the new film "Fire Dragon", he had to look down and ask Kang Jianfei for money. He ran 5 times some time ago without seeing him. Kang Jianfei himself finally asked Lin Qingxia for help.

The antique furniture that Li Hanxiang bought has now been moved to the warehouse outside Beizhimen, ready to be used as props and shipped back to Hong Kong after filming. Small things to get now. It was all the proceeds of Kang Jianfei's share of the spoils. While Li Hanxiang helped identify them, he was able to get closer to Kang Jianfei and chat.

"Huh," Li Hanxiang suddenly stared at the wooden pen holder in his hand. After a while, he rubbed his eyes and smiled bitterly, "Mr. Kang, you have found a real good deal."

Kang Jianfei asked, "This tube is worth more than those porcelain cups and bowls?"

"How can antiques be measured by money." Li Hanxiang said speechlessly, "The chicken heart bowl of Ming Xuande official kiln in your hand is a treasure, but it is not small in the world. This pen holder is different, unique in the world. "

Kang Jianfei smiled and said, "It's so powerful, can you sell it for tens of millions of dollars?"

"Well, no one is willing to buy hundreds of thousands of dollars." Li Hanxiang said.

"Then you said that the world is unique." Kang Jianfei didn't understand the market at all, and he didn't know that the price of Chinese antiques at this time was much lower than that of later generations. After all, the price has not been hyped by mainland players and international auction houses.

Li Hanxiang sighed and said, "I didn't notice it before. Now I wipe the dirt off the barrel. Only then did I realize that this pen holder was used by Qin Shaoyou."

"Who is Qin Shaoyou? This name sounds familiar." Kang Jianfei asked humbly.

Li Hanxiang resisted the urge to roll his eyes: "If the two are in love for a long time, how can it be day and night?"

Only then did you react to Kang Jianfei and said with a smile, "Just say Qin Guan."

"This pen holder should have been given to Qin Shaoyou by a woman." Li Hanxiang said and threw the pen holder to Kang Jianfei.

Kang Jianfei took it and took a look, and saw the words "Magpie Bridge Immortal" engraved on it. Before the inscription was written, the words "Gift to You Shaoyou", and the myth of the Cowherd and Weaver Girl was also engraved on the barrel. It is a pity that this tube has been used as a grain cup all the year round. Used for scooping grains, the mouth of the barrel has been worn out.

Seeing Kang Jianfei looking at the mouth of the barrel depressingly, Li Hanxiang smiled and comforted: "Don't feel bad, it may not be Qin Shaoyou himself, the owner of the pen holder may just have the same word or name as Qin Guan, after all, "Magpie Bridge Fairy" can be used to make A love poem between men and women."

"It doesn't matter to me, I'm not very interested in this kind of thing anyway," Kang Jianfei asked, changing the subject, "Does Director Li have any plans after filming "Fire Dragon"?"

Li Hanxiang shook his head and said, "I haven't thought about it yet."

Kang Jianfei asked, "Have you ever thought about filming The Biography of Cixi?"

Li Hanxiang was shocked and said, "Yes, of course, Mr. Kang intends to invest?"

"Investment is fine, but I have a request." Kang Jianfei said.

"The Biography of Cixi" is divided into five parts: "Burning the Yuanmingyuan", "Downing the Curtains", "Tongzhi Zhongxing", "Reform and Reform" and "Eight-Power Allied Forces". Now Li Hanxiang only made the first two parts, but it was stranded due to insufficient funds. Naturally, I wanted to finish the movie.

"Whatever you want, Mr. Kang can say whatever." Li Hanxiang said eagerly.

Kang Jianfei said: "I want to buy the new Kunlun."

Li Hanxiang asked dumbly, "New Kunlun is just a small company, can it also enter Mr. Kang's eyes?"

Kang Jianfei said bluntly: "I just want the copyrights of "Burning the Old Summer Palace" and "Listening to the Politics". Whether it is sold or not depends on Director Li's intentions."

Except for the copyright of a few movies, New Kunlun has nothing else, and no one wants to sell it before. But if he really wants to sell Li Hanxiang, he is a little reluctant. After all, this is a company he wanted to make a comeback a few years ago.

Li Hanxiang shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Since you like Mr. Kang, then I have nothing to say, just sell it."

"Then it's settled. The specific price will be discussed with you when Director Li returns to Hong Kong." Kang Jianfei said, picking up the pots and jars he had picked up.

...

Beijing Airport.

Gong Li asked reluctantly, "When will you come back?"

"Don't worry, it won't take long," Kang Jianfei patted the back of Gong Li's hand, "I contacted Principal Li of Zhongxi Opera, and he said that your performance test score is second, as long as the college entrance examination culture class is not too bad. , I will definitely be admitted, and then I will go to Zhongxi to find you."

"Well, thank you." Gong Li said gratefully, she had absolutely no confidence in her culture class exam.

During Gong Li's waving goodbye, Kang Jianfei boarded the plane returning to Hong Kong. At this time, "The Metamorphosis" aroused heated discussions in the Mainland and Hong Kong.

It can be said that "The Metamorphosis" belongs to an unprecedented TV program in terms of investment and content.

Since the conclusion of the Sino-British negotiation and it was confirmed that Hong Kong will be handed back to China in 1997, Hong Kong people have been curious and fearful of the mainland. Although Phoenix TV has programs introducing the mainland from time to time, they are all viewed from a broad perspective, and have not been narrowed down to specific families in a very nuanced manner.

"Metamorphosis" provides such a platform, allowing Hong Kong audiences to get a close understanding of the situation of ordinary people in the Mainland.

After the first episode of "The Metamorphosis" was broadcast, the show immediately aroused heated discussions, and even TVB's talk show used it as a topic.

Hong Kong's views on this are divided into several types. One is to laugh at the poverty of the mainland, believing that after the return of Hong Kong, the wealth of Hong Kong people will be dragged down by the poor mainland; the other is to think that mainlanders are also good. Those mainlanders who are not very simple and kind, not like the provincial and Hong Kong flag soldiers in the movie; they also praise mainlanders for their hard work, or ridicule mainlanders for their lack of knowledge.

This is the Hong Kong audience's view of mainlanders. Some media also focus on the Hong Kong deceived teenagers in the film. They think that young people in Hong Kong are ignorant and ignorant, and they only know how to eat, drink, and have fun all day long. The educational situation of young people is very worrying.

Anyway, "The Metamorphosis" is on fire. On the third day after Kang Jian flew back to Hong Kong, the second episode of "The Metamorphosis" aired, and the ratings reached a terrifying 57% - a full 28 percentage points higher than the first episode.

After the broadcast of the second episode, "Metamorphosis" seems to have become a social topic. In general, Hong Kong people's views on this are divided into four categories: praise, depreciation, neutrality and soy sauce.

The leftist newspaper Wen Wei Po commented on the program: "The Metamorphosis strengthens the non-governmental ties between the mainland and Hong Kong, and enhances mutual understanding between the people of the two places. It can be seen from the film that although the mainland is economically backward, it is not propaganda by the reactionary media. It is a purgatory on earth, and they will not engage in class struggle at any time to kill people. People use labor to create wealth,

Industrious, simple and full of hope... In the program, under the influence of the working people in the mainland, the delinquent teenagers in Hong Kong have become sensible little by little, and the poor teenagers in the mainland have also opened their eyes to Hong Kong and learned a lot of new things. Mainlanders and Hong Kongers are Chinese compatriots, compatriots and brothers should help each other instead of being suspicious of each other..."

Right-wing newspapers commented on the opposite: "Phoenix TV's production of "The Metamorphosis" is practical and sinister, and the selection of the two teenagers in the film reveals its purpose. Obviously, the program's planners chose an excellent rural teenager. , using diligence and simplicity to cover up the poverty, ignorance, selfishness and greed of the mainlanders, and using a young and dangerous boy to represent the new generation of Hong Kong, wantonly smearing the image of Hong Kong people... The transformation of young and dangerous young people in the mainland, In fact, it is a metaphor that although Hong Kong is rich, it has problems with morality and quality, which needs to be corrected by the mainland. To put it more bluntly, after wanting to take back Hong Kong, there will be a major transformation in Hong Kong, just like the original wg movement... "

As for neutral newspapers such as Ming Pao, they completely cast aside ideology and evaluate "The Metamorphosis" from the perspective of human nature and the growth of young people.

Until the third episode of "Metamorphosis" ~lightnovelpub.net~, which is the finale of the first story, the ratings have risen to 65%, which is comparable to the ratings of beauty pageants.

Fulinmen Restaurant.

Xu Jiasheng, director of the Hong Kong branch of Xinhua News Agency, said with a glass of wine: "Mr. Kang, the show "Metamorphosis" is so well done, and the leaders of the central government have praised it!"

Kang Jianfei said with a smile: "It's just a show, and there are a lot of people scolding it."

Xu Jiasheng shook his head and sighed: "Most of Hong Kong people's fear of the mainland comes from being unfamiliar and unfamiliar. "The Metamorphosis" just provides this opportunity. But well..."

"But what?" Kang Jianfei asked with a frown.

Xu Jiasheng said: "The leader said, don't point to the poorest places in the mainland to shoot the show, you can choose a family in the city for the exchange."

Yes, the leader was unhappy accidentally, Kang Jianfei was completely speechless.
