398 [First Meeting]

Of course, Shaw Brothers was not in the mood to sign Wang Shuxian. Because of Kang Jianfei's appearance, Hong Kong in this time and space has added a new era of theaters out of thin air.

Moreover, this new era of theaters has sufficient film sources, and it is even more fierce to grab box offices during good schedules than Princess Jin, which makes Shaw Pictures' business more difficult.

Fang Yihua has long lost interest in Shaw Brothers. Last year, she quit her production manager and focused on developing TVB. Now Shaw Brothers' production business is under the responsibility of Huang Jiaxi.

In the parallel space, Wang Shuxian was recommended to Fang Yihua by Ma Fangzong, the manager of Shaw Brothers Taiwan Branch. Fang Yihua asked Huang Jiaxi to sign it, and the money spent half of it was less than Yu Kanping.

Now, Run Run Shaw has been selling theaters more than a year in advance. Shaw Pictures is obviously about to stop production, so there will be no new signings for the actresses.

...

Taipei Songshan Airport.

Wang Counsexian's mother stood at the security checkpoint and said to her daughter hesitantly: "Xiaoxian, I think she shouldn't go to Hong Kong anymore. You are only 16 years old now, so it's safer to go to Hong Kong to shoot movies after school."

"Mom, this opportunity is rare. It's the DreamWork Factory filming "The Wrong Car". Don't you also like "The Wrong Car"?" Wang Shuxian kept shaking his mother's arm.

Mother Wang sighed, "I'm not at ease with you. A girl is so far away from the door, so beware of being bullied."

"Ahem," Yu Kanping, who was standing beside him, coughed and couldn't help but interrupt, "Mrs. Wang, Miss Wang Shuxian is the actress that our boss is preparing to support. DreamWorks will be responsible for everything she has in Hong Kong. You don't have to worry about someone bullying her."

Mother Wang sighed, "Oh. I don't know how to speak Cantonese, otherwise I will follow Hong Kong to take care of you."

The mother and daughter held hands and talked for a long time. Yu Kanping looked at the watch and reminded: "Mrs. Wang, the time is coming."

Wang's mother told me worriedly: "Xiaoxian, call home when you arrive in Hong Kong. If it's cold, add more clothes..."

"Oh, I understand, you have said it dozens of times at home!" Wang Shuxian said impatiently. For a girl who is about to go on a distance for the first time, Wang Shuxian is now full of longing for the future. There is no reluctance to leave home.

After passing the security checkpoint, Wang Counsel saw a billboard in the aisle and said to Yu Kanping in surprise: "Your advertisements have actually been called into the airport!"

Yu Kanping nodded and said, "Fortunately, this drama was co-production by DreamWorks and Jiahe. It's nothing to do with a little more publicity budget."

"Deadly Express" will be released at the same time in Hong Kong and Taiwan on Christmas. Now the promotional advertisements are already being released. Before Wang Shuxian left the airport in Hong Kong, he saw several identical billboards, which made her even more impressed by DreamWorks.

On the poster of the billboard, the portraits of Cheng Long and Brigitte Lin are the most prominent, with Sophie Marceau, Charles Bronson and others surrounding them, and there are also big words "Director Kang Jianfei" in the middle.

"Will we go to DreamWorks first?" Wang Chuxian asked after getting in the car.

"No," said Yu Kanping, "the company has rented a house for you. You can settle down first. I will take you to see Mr. Kang tomorrow, and then go to Oriental Entertainment to report."

"Isn't it a Dream Factory?" Wang Shuxian asked.

Yu Kanping explained: "Oriental Entertainment Company is also Mr. Kang's company. Your economic contract is signed there. The company will temporarily arrange Cantonese and performing arts courses for you, and only sign a phone contract with DreamWorks when filming."

"Oh. So that's how it is." Wang Shuxian nodded, feeling that the process was a bit complicated.

Yu Kanping said again: "By the way. "The Deadly Express" premiered in Taiping Theater in two days. If you want to participate, I can help you get a ticket."

Wang Chuxian asked excitedly: "Can you see Brigitte Lin?"

"Of course, I can, so many stars were invited at the premiere," said Yu Kanping.

"Then I'm going to participate." Wang Shuxian said happily.

Looking at Wang Cuixian's happy look, Yu Kanping shook his head funny. Wang Cuixian was definitely treated as a first-line star. He arranged housing as soon as he joined the company, and then he had a special living assistant. Yu Kanping felt that Kang Jianfei was a little too highly of Wang Cuixian's potential.

...

...

"Mr. Kang, Miss Wang Shuxian is here!"

"Let her come in," Kang Jianfei put down the phone and said to Chen Shuli, "Sophie Marceau is coming to Hong Kong tonight. This piece of paper is her flight number. You can arrange someone to pick it up."

Chen Shuli asked: "Do you want to help Sophie? Marceau arrange a hotel? She said she could not come to participate, and the booked room has been cancelled."

Kang Jianfei asked back, "What do you think?"

Chen Shuli smiled awkwardly, hugged the folder and hurriedly exited the office.

In less than a minute, Yu Kanping had already brought Wang Tuxian in and said to Kang Jianfei: "Mr. Kang, I'll bring you the person."

"Please sit down." Kang Jianfei smiled at the two of them, but his eyes were staring at Wang Cuixian.

Compared with Wang Chuxian in Kang Jianfei's impression, the girl in front of her was obviously too young. Her eyes looked at Kang Jianfei with timidity.

Originally, Kang Jianfei was planning to film "A Chinese Ghost Story" for Wang Shuxian next year, but after seeing the real person, he immediately gave up this idea. Wang Shuxian now does not have the temperament of reversing all living beings. He is just a shy girl who is not well-versed in the world. He needs to be adjusted. I will wait for her to grow up for a few years before she can talk about it.

But she can't be idle all the time. Kang Jianfei thought for a while and said, "Lao Yu, it's better to let Xiaoxian perform the business of the Taiwan branch."

"Let her act in a movie at a Taiwan branch?" Yu Kanping pointed at Wang Shuxian and asked. He didn't understand why Kang Jianfei suddenly changed his mind.

Kang Jianfei nodded and said, "Xiaoxian doesn't speak Cantonese yet, so I want her to exercise for a year first. As for the script, I will give you a framework in a few days, and you can find the screenwriter team to fill in the details."

Yu Kanping had no choice but to agree. Although he was not optimistic about Wang Tuxian, he also thought that this little girl was good, so he was not disgusted with Kang Jianfei's arrangement.

"You go out first, I'll talk to her." Kang Jianfei said to Yu Kanping.

Yu Kanping stood up and nodded at Wang Shuxian, then said, "Mr. Kang. Then I'll leave first."

When Yu Kanping left the office, Wang Chuxian became even more nervous when facing Kang Jianfei alone. She had long been well-known for Kang Jianfei's reputation in Taiwan. Now after seeing the real person, she felt that Kang Jianfei was indeed very imposing and didn't dare to look directly at him.

In fact, this is all psychological effect. The moment Wang Cuixian stepped into the office, she began to look up at Kang Jianfei, the "big figure".

"Don't be nervous, I can't eat people, so take it easy," Kang Jianfei joked. After eased the girl's emotions, he asked homely, "I heard you are still studying?"

Speaking of his studies, Wang Cuixian felt a little relieved, secretly looked up at Kang Jianfei, and replied, "I am in the second grade of Guoguang Art School."

Kang Jianfei showed a kind smile and praised: "I've seen that movie "The Lakeside Is Cold This Year". You performed a great show."

"That was the first time I was filming a movie, and I didn't act very well." Wang Shuxian said embarrassedly, because when filming "The Lakeside Will Be Cold this year", she had no acting skills, but just said lines with a cold face as the director asked.

Kang Jianfei stood up and walked to Wang Chuxian to stop. He stared at Wang Chuxian's face and admired it, then said: "What I am talking about is not acting skills, but the spirituality that you exud. Some people, even if their acting skills are good, will make the audience feel isolated. However, the other actors are different. They can attract the audience's attention as soon as they appear. You belong to the latter one."

Wang Shuxian was already at the age of longing for recognition from others. After receiving the praise of the great director Kang Jianfei, he finally showed a happy smile on his face and said, "Mr. Kang, I will film well in the future and will never let you down."

"I believe in you," Kang Jianfei encouraged, "I originally wanted to film a movie for you, but your foundation is not enough now. In another year or two, as long as your acting skills are tempered, I will let you be the heroine of my new drama."

Wang Shuxian tried hard to hide the excitement in his heart, but his hands were trembling with his fingers. When she was in the art school, her classmates often discussed the major directors from Hong Kong and Taiwan, believing that among Chinese directors, Kang Jianfei was the most powerful, such as "Home Imperial" and "God of Gambling", each of which could set off a box office craze in Taiwan.

Being able to play the heroine in Kang Jianfei's movie means that you can become a big star in one step, which is infinitely attractive to a young actor.

Wang Chuxian began to restlessly and asked without saying a word: "Mr. Kang, I heard that your new film premiered in two days?"

Kang Jianfei smiled and said, "Yes, if you are interested in participating, you can find Secretary Chen outside to ask for admission tickets."

"Oh..." Wang Shuxian said "Oh" and didn't know what to say. She actually wanted to take this opportunity to get closer to Kang Jianfei, but due to lack of social experience, Wang Shuxian couldn't find a suitable topic even though she thought about it.

Kang Jianfei asked casually: "Is your parents still assured when they come to Hong Kong alone this time?"

Wang Shuxian quickly replied: "My father doesn't care much about me, but my mother can't bear to leave me. She is afraid that I will suffer in Hong Kong."

Kang Jianfei asked again: "I heard you have practiced basketball before?"

"Do you know this?" When talking about what he was familiar with, Wang Cuixian also spoke faster. "I used to be a junior high school student and was a sports student. I have played basketball with my dad since I was a child."

Kang Jianfei smiled and said, "I don't play basketball well, so you can teach me another day."

"Okay, okay." Wang Shuxian clapped his hands with a smile, but after patting it twice, he felt that it was not a lady, and immediately calmed down awkwardly again.

After the two chatted for a while, Kang Jianfei suddenly said, "It's almost noon, I'll treat you to a meal."

Wang Shuxian nodded secretly and followed Kang Jianfei out.

The two walked out of the office side by side, Kang Jianfei said to Chen Shuli: "Prepare a premiere ticket for Miss Wang."

"Okay, boss." Chen Shuli looked at the two of them going out side by side, thinking that the boss might fall in love with this little girl again, and sooner or later she would have to eat it.

Wang Shuxian was not unaware of this. She felt Kang Jianfei's burning gaze when he looked at her in the office. However, Wang Shuxian was not annoyed about it, but secretly was very happy, thinking that it was something to be proud of when she could attract director Kang Da.

ps: Today, my cousin’s birthday, came to celebrate her birthday and found that her son was already seven years old.

Woo woo woo woo woo woo, I just learned yesterday that my high school classmate’s son is six years old, but Lao Wang doesn’t have a girlfriend yet, so it’s so sad!
