Zeng Bolin looked at his watch and walked to Kang Jianfei and reminded: "Boss, the performance of the Shaolin Martial Monks is about to begin, and there are 45 minutes left."

"I understand." Kang Jianfei responded casually, holding a sleeping baby boy in his arms, gently sweeping his fingers on the baby's shattered face. The baby pursed his mouth in dissatisfaction, and a lot of milk suddenly appeared from the corners of his mouth.

"Okay, go and help you, don't wake An An up again." Zhao Yazhi took the child from Kang Jianfei's arms with a maternal and loving smile on his face.

Zhao Yazhi and his son have been discharged from the hospital for two days, and the child's name is not yet available. However, Zhao Yazhi has already taken the initiative to give his son a nickname called "An'an", hoping that his son can grow up safely and grow up.

"Then I'll leave first." Kang Jianfei kissed Zhao Yazhi's forehead.

"Go." Zhao Yazhi smiled, her attention now turned completely to her son.

It only took half an hour to get from Zhao Yazhi's house to Taiping Theater. There were more than 2,000 seats in the theater. Kang Jian almost had to fill it when he flew in.

Since Jin Yong's martial arts novels became popular, Shaolin Temple, which often appeared in novels, has become well known. In the streets and alleys of Hong Kong, even aunts and uncles know that there is a Shaolin Temple in the south of the river.

The news that the abbot of Shaolin Temple personally led a team to Hong Kong for religious exchanges has frequently appeared in Hong Kong newspapers these days. Of course, people are not concerned about Buddhist exchanges, but the performance of the Shaolin monk team.

For decades, everyone has watched Shaolin Kung Fu in novels and film and television works. Now they have the opportunity to witness live performances with their own eyes, which is more attractive than the concerts of many singers.

The monks at Shaolin Temple performed for three consecutive nights. Tonight's first show invited many Ming people, and even Hong Kong Governor Wei Yixin discussed attending. In addition, there were Kung Fu stars such as Hong Jinbao, Cheng Long, Jet Li, Liu Jialiang, Hui Yinghong and other kung fu stars.

Kang Jianfei is in the first row, and the two seats are the Governor Wei Yixin. Hong Jinbao and Cheng Long are also not far away.

In addition to social celebrities, the abbots of the Hong Kong Temple of Wenwu, Wanfo Temple, Baolin Zen Temple and other temples also came to attend to tonight's monk performance.

"Boss, should the Governor of Hong Kong say hello?" Zeng Bolin approached Kang Jianfei's ear and reminded in a low voice.

Kang Jianfei didn't say anything, but just walked towards Wei Yixin with a smile. After the other party noticed him, he stretched out his hand with a smile: "Hello, Mr. Governor."

"It turned out to be Mr. Kang, but I always wanted to meet you." Wei Yixin spoke very well in Cantonese. This old guy came to Hong Kong to learn Chinese 28 years ago. Later, he went to Beijing/Beijing to work and communicate in Mandarin.

Kang Jianfei and Wei Yixin had met before, but they were when the former Governor of Hong Kong were alive, but the two had no communication at that time.

After Kang Jianfei shook hands with the Governor of Hong Kong, he smiled and said, "Mr. Wei Yixin, you have a lot of troubles every day, so it is rare to see you."

Monk Yongxin was also a second person. When he saw Kang Jianfei chatting with the Governor of Hong Kong, he immediately ran over to join in the fun and echoed: "Yes. Donor Wei was able to take time out of his busy schedule to watch the performance of Shaolin monks, which made me deeply honored."

Seeing that Kang Jianfei and Monk Yongxin were standing very close and seemed to have a good relationship, Wei Yixin asked, "Does Mr. Kang and Mr. Yongxin know each other?"

Monk Yongxin said: "Shaolin Temple can come to Hong Kong for exchanges. It will be a blessing for Mr. Kang to help you."

"I just made a match with you." Kang Jianfei smiled.

Kang Jianfei's help is more than just this. Shaolin Temple was ruined a few years ago. The reconstruction and restoration of the temple was all the money that Kang Jian Feitou invested. Even Yongxin now brings the team of monks in Hong Kong. At least half of them are members of Hu Juncai's Martial Arts School, and they are the perfect bald fake monks.

If Kang Jianfei had not invested the funds, Monk Yongxin would probably still be sorting out Shaolin classics in ancient paper piles, and it would have to wait at least one or two years before building a group of monks.

Kang Jianfei and Wei Yixin chatted for a few words. The two talked about some of their experiences in Beijing and talked about Shaolin Kung Fu for a while before Kang Jianfei returned to his seat.

"Mr. Kang." Seeing Kang Jian fly over, Jet Li nodded to him to greet him.

"Yes." Kang Jianfei nodded.

Hong Jinbao turned his head and glanced at Kang Jianfei, then turned back to the stage, without talking to Cheng Long beside him.

This summer, there was no movie with Kang Jianfei released, but there was no movie with Sammo Hung. Sammo Hung's performance last year was very average, and his career was obviously on the decline, while Cheng Long won a lot of battles and there was a rift between his brothers.

Because it was a team of monks, Monk Yongxin sent invitations to famous kung fu stars in Hong Kong and many martial artists. Cheng Long and Hong Jinbao both came for the name of Shaolin Temple and had little to do with Kang Jianfei. The two film companies were in a competitive relationship. If both parties were actors, they could still be friends in private, but Kang Jianfei was the owner of DreamWorks. It was not convenient for Sammo Hung and Cheng Long to have more contact with Kang Jianfei.

The lights in the theater audience darkened, the emcee ran out and said a few words, then there was a sound of drumbeats. All members of the monks came out with sticks and started the dancer Shaolin Stick Formation.

"ha!"

The monks shouted together, swung a stick curtain and smashed it on the floor of the stage. The martial arts performance tonight will officially begin.

As the boss of the Liu family class, Liu Jialiang came with a few brothers today. After only a few moves, he shook his head in disappointment. He learned the Southern Kung Fu of Hard Bridge and Hard Horse since elementary school. When he grew up, he also practiced martial arts in various schools. His basic skills were extremely solid. At a glance, he could see that at least one-third of the so-called Shaolin monk team did not pass the basic skills.

I didn’t know what to do, this is the consensus of all the people present. After all, the Shaolin monk team has only been formed for a few years, and many people have only become monks after watching "Shaolin Temple".

Only then will Shaolin Temple be more powerful if it is allowed to develop for another ten years, at least it will not let the experts laugh at.

The experts look at the tricks and the laymen watch the excitement, but most of the audience think the monks play well, and think that Shaolin Temple is well-known, and as they watch, they cheer all over.

The subsequent personal routine performances were exciting. Several of the monks were recruited from martial arts teams across the country. They are currently coaches of Hu Juncai’s Shaolin Martial Arts School. This time they also sneaked into the Shaolin Temple monks team. Anyway, no one knows the details if they shave their heads.

These people are very skilled, especially when they play routines, they are very pleasing to the eye. Even martial artists such as Liu Jialiang couldn't help but applaud sincerely, and finally won some face for the Shaolin monk team.

After the performance, the invited celebrities took photos with the monks' members one after another. Kang Jianfei walked to the side of the monk Yongxin and said, "Master, if you lead the team out for martial arts exchange next time, those who have only practiced for two or three years will not come, and all of them will be replaced by coaches from the martial arts school."

Monk Yongxin has also practiced boxing, but he only knows some basic skills. He was stunned for a moment and asked, "Is there any problem with my performance tonight?"

Kang Jianfei said: "It's just a small problem, but Hong Kong people have too high expectations for Shaolin Kung Fu. Tonight's performance disappointed the martial arts practitioners here."

"Oh." Monk Yongxin nodded. In his eyes, what Kang Jianfei said was really a small problem. He came to Hong Kong to promote Shaolin Temple. The monks can fool ordinary people in their performances, and those trainees cannot expose him without any trouble. It doesn't matter whether they are disappointed or not.

Shaolin monks performed in Taiping Theater for five consecutive days, and their attendance rate reached more than 90% each night, which is really more popular than the concerts held by the little stars.

Some Hong Kong newspapers are also reporting on this, which has caused a Shaolin Kung Fu craze in a short period of time, which has increased a lot of Hong Kong tourists to the mainland in the second half of the year.

Then the release of "Red Sorghum". The movie exploded in the box office in the mainland and won an international award in Berlin. It was still very popular to promote it.

However, ordinary Hong Kong audiences really don’t like this style. Oriental Cinema initially lined up 10 cinemas two shows a day. The average attendance rate on the first day was 73%, which is a very good data. However, most of the viewers who have watched "Red Sorghum" feel that they have been cheated, resulting in the reputation of "Red Sorghum" among the audience steadily declining, and the average attendance rate on the second day fell below 50%.

After only 6 days of release, "Red Sorghum" was forced to be released on Oriental Theater, with a box office of only 2.14 million yuan. This box office data is thanks to the audience who were deceived by the publicity on the first day.

Although the box office failed, "Red Sorghum" has received extremely high praise from film critics, which is typically not popular. In addition, the male and female protagonists Jiang Wen and Gong Li are familiar with many Hong Kong movie fans. As for the director of the movie, Lao Touzi, Hong Kong people have no impression of it at all.

Shortly after the "Red Sorghum" was released, news came out that its heroine Gong Li will star in Kang Jianfei's next film, and her partner is Zhou Xingchi, who has become Stephen Chow. (To be continued...)
