After Lizhi walked into the office, she asked ok and looked at Kang Jianfei curiously, as if she wanted to see how he was different from the TV or newspaper. [;Starting]

Kang Jianfei didn't talk about the business directly, but after Lizhi sat down, he said, "I heard that you came from the mainland, how long have you been in Hong Kong?"

If asked by an old Hong Konger, Lizhi would definitely feel uncomfortable, but this question came from Kang Jianfei's mouth, but it made Lizhi feel very kind, because everyone came from the mainland. She replied, "It's been almost three years, two years later than Mr. Kang."

"How do you feel about Hong Kong?" Kang Jianfei asked with a smile.

"Hong Kong is very prosperous and beautiful, but it has nothing to do with me." Lizhi said without hesitation.

Kang Jianfei said, "That's because you haven't integrated into the city yet, and you'll get used to it after a few years."

Lizhi smiled bitterly: "Everyone is Chinese, I just don't understand why Hong Kong people always discriminate against compatriots from the mainland."

Kang Jianfei explained: "You can think of it this way, Hong Kong is a rich little cousin, and poor old cousins ​​from the mainland will naturally be looked down upon because they always feel that they are at a disadvantage. In fact, it is not only mainland China, but in recent years There is also a large influx of Vietnamese refugees. These new immigrants lack means of making a living. Many people rely on cheating to live, causing temporary chaos in Hong Kong society. Hong Kong people only see the various troubles brought by new immigrants, and naturally Dissatisfaction with mainland tourists and Vietnamese refugees."

Lizhi nodded subconsciously, feeling that Kang Jianfei made some sense, but she felt even more strange in her heart. Kang Jianfei asked her to come to DreamWorks just to say these things, right?

The two talked about some things in the mainland again, and the atmosphere of the conversation became more harmonious, but Lizhi was in a panic. Finally couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Kang, you came to me today..."

Kang Jianfei explained: "I read your application materials for the artist training class, and I think your conditions are very good."

Li Zhi was overjoyed and asked, "I was admitted to the training class?"

Kang Jianfei shook his head and said, "No, your performance is unqualified."

The smile on Lizhi's face froze, but she still had a trace of hope in her heart. She hoped that Kang Jianfei would make an exception to allow her to enter the training class for the sake of immigration from the mainland at the same time.

Kang Jianfei continued: "I have asked several examiners, and to be honest, you are not suitable to be an actor. I invited you to come today because I have more important things to ask you for help."

"Ask me for help?" Li Zhi's mind became more and more confused.

"Yes." Kang Jianfei said. "I'm going to start a beauty pageant similar to Miss Hong Kong next year. Are you interested in participating?"

Lizhi said rather unconfidently, "I'm afraid I can't."

Kang Jianfei tempted her and said, "If you sign up, I can make you a beauty pageant champion who is as famous as Miss Hong Kong."

Kang Jianfei's words were enough to make most women lose their minds with excitement. Lizhi's heart was beating wildly with excitement at the same time. But she is a very smart woman, and she quickly expressed her doubts: "Why did you choose me?"

Kang Jianfei smiled at her: "Don't you think you are beautiful?"

Lizhi asked back, "It's not hard to find beautiful women in Hong Kong, right?"

"Because you are a mainland girl in the Hong Kong population, let alone winning the beauty pageant, even if you enter the finals, you can cause a lot of controversy in Hong Kong," Kang Jianfei said with a profiteer-like smile on his face, "If there is controversy, there will be Attention, only with attention can you compete with TVB's Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant."

Although Lizhi didn't know much about media hype, she also knew that Kang Jianfei wanted to use her as a gimmick. She was just a tool for Kang Jianfei to promote and promote the beauty contest. Lizhi's emotions were complicated for a while. I don't know whether to be happy or sad.

Seeing that Li Zhi was silent, Kang Jianfei asked, "Do you think my methods are inferior?"

"No." Lizhi shook her head and said, but she felt a sense: No wonder Kang Jianfei was able to stand out in Hong Kong, and he was indeed more intelligent than the average person.

"As long as you participate in the beauty contest next year, I will guarantee you the champion," Kang Jianfei asked again, "Are you interested?"

The title of beauty pageant champion is too tempting for women. Li Zhi took a deep breath and nodded: "I will participate."

"Okay," Kang Jianfei stood up from his seat, walked in front of Lizhi and said, "From now until the beauty pageant is held next year, you should not participate in any activities related to the entertainment industry, and pretend that you have never seen me. I'll give you $100,000. You go abroad to participate in some training in etiquette, makeup, steps, etc. Although these trainings are also available after you register for the beauty pageant, it is better to prepare adequately. In addition, you'd better enter a foreign university. This is enough to predict when it is hyped.”

Today, the Hong Kong dollar is 7:00 to the US dollar, and 100,000 US dollars is nearly 800,000 Hong Kong dollars. Don't say that Lizhi has never seen so much money, even her family can't come up with 100,000 yuan.

Lizhi swallowed her saliva and couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you afraid that I will swallow the money and run away?"

"You don't think your future is only worth 100,000 dollars, do you?" Kang Jianfei asked rhetorically with a smile.

Of course Lizhi would not refuse to take a sum of money for nothing. She smiled happily: "My salary as a salesperson is 1,200 yuan now, and 100,000 dollars is almost my total income for decades."

"Look into my eyes," Kang Jianfei put his hand on Lizhi's shoulder, and the two looked at each other closely for two seconds before he continued, "Trust me, as long as you do as I say, you will be fine. I can make so much money in the next year.”

Lizhi felt that Kang Jianfei's eyes were very bright, and then found that his light brown eyes were very charming, giving people a sense of trustworthiness. She didn't care that Kang Jianfei's hand was still on her shoulder, she nodded subconsciously and said, "I will go to take the exam in the United States in a few days, and it should be no problem to enter an ordinary university."

Kang Jianfei said: "It's best to be admitted to a prestigious school, and it can give you a lot of extra points in the beauty pageant."

"I'll try my best." Lizhi said uncertainly, but she was looking forward to the situation when she won the beauty pageant next year. She suffered from discrimination in Hong Kong and couldn't wait to get ahead.

Kang Jianfei suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Do you have a boyfriend now? If so, break up as soon as possible, otherwise it will be troublesome to participate in the beauty pageant."

"No." Lizhi shook her head and said that when she was studying in the mainland, she had a good friend of the opposite sex, but before she could develop further, she cut off contact with Lizhi when she came to Hong Kong. As for her arrival in Hong Kong, Lizhi didn't even have a normal friend to chat with, let alone a boyfriend.

Kang Jianfei smiled with satisfaction: "That's good, if you go to the United States, try to keep a low profile. As long as you wait until next year, you will be a blockbuster."

Lizhi smiled shyly, and said gratefully, "Mr. Kang, thank you for your care."

"It's not that I take care of you," Kang Jianfei stared at Lizhi for a while, and exclaimed in an exaggerated tone, "Azhi, you don't know how beautiful you are, besides you, I really don't know who is qualified to be the beauty champion. "

All women like to be complimented on her beauty, not to mention that the person who compliments her is Kang Jianfei, a famous person. Lizhi said sweetly, "Mr. Kang, you are joking again, how can I be as beautiful as you said."

"Confident women are the most beautiful. Do you have to be confident?" Kang Jianfei encouraged her.

After talking about the business, Kang Jianfei started chatting with her again. Li Zhi is a woman who lacks love. In another time and space, Li Lianjie and her made a movie together. He was a rare mainland actor in Hong Kong at that time.

At that time, Lizhi had many rich Hong Kong tycoons pursuing her, but this girl only secretly promised Li Lianjie, who happened to be at a low point in her career, and even quietly worked as a mistress for several years until Li Lianjie divorced.

Kang Jianfei also asked her about some difficulties in life and work, and gave some comfort and advice casually, which made Lizhi feel very low and comfortable, and regarded Kang Jianfei as a generous brother.

...

Just when Kang Jianfei fooled Lizhi to participate in the beauty pageant, he also officially appeared at the Cannes Film Festival in France under the operation of 20th Century Fox.

Of course, it does not meet the appetite of the Cannes judges, and it is not even qualified to be shortlisted. It is only exhibited during the film festival.

Because Kang Jianfei has sold all the rights to the sequel, 20th Century Fox has spared no effort in promoting it.

In addition, it won the second place in the North American annual box office list last year, and when it appeared in France, it immediately attracted the attention of various academies.

20th Century Fox’s distribution channels in Europe have already matured, with theatrical chains being contacted before the opening of the Cannes Film Festival. Now that it has received a certain amount of attention at the film festival, it immediately began to promote it on a large scale, and a week later it was released simultaneously in various parts of France.

In the following two months, ~lightnovelpub.net~ was screened in the United Kingdom, Belgium, Italy, West Germany and other European countries successively, and the box office grossed more than 70 million US dollars, becoming the box office champion for several weeks in various countries.

The protagonist of the film suddenly became an international star, and as the director, Kang Jianfei also attracted the attention of European media and filmmakers.

After many inquiries, European counterparts gradually understood that Kang Jianfei is a Hong Kong director, and some filmmakers even took the initiative to come to Hong Kong to buy films from him.

The happiest thing is Maqiao. He wanted to sell DreamWorks films to the European market, but European filmmakers always ignored him, and now there is still a good thing about coming to the door to ask for goods.

Perhaps it was a pleasant surprise that it became the pioneer of DreamWorks to develop European sales, which made Kang Jianfei and Oriental DreamWorks gradually start to show their faces in Europe.

After the big sales in the United States, it also made big profits at the European box office, and the Hong Kong media naturally praised it. When some newspapers mentioned Kang Jianfei, they began to add the title of "international director", which was different from most directors in Hong Kong from the name.
