Although Doujingling is located in a wilderness, the community is densely populated.
When the Hong Kong government was driven from Moxingling to Tuojingling, there were tens of thousands of veterans and their families. The Hong Kong government thought that the Taiwan authorities would take these people away soon, so it only regarded Tuojingling as a temporary refugee resettlement site.
As a result, two years passed, the Hong Kong government found that the Taiwan authorities had no response to these veterans at all, and immediately stopped their refugee relief and wanted to force the Taiwan side to come and pick up people as soon as possible. Just when the refugees in Diaojingling were about to starve to death, the Taiwan rescue organization and the Hong Kong Church took action to give them some appropriate help and help them through the most difficult days.
Perhaps it is because of the grace of survival that the residents of Diaojingling are very close to Taiwan, and most of them are religious and are nicknamed "milk powder believers" by outsiders - the church often gives them milk powder.
The refugees in Diaojingling have been living here for more than ten years. Under certain political pressure, the Hong Kong government finally provided them with water and electricity, admitting that they are Hong Kong people.
Wen Bixia walked in the front, stepping on the uphill stone path quickly, looking back at Kang Jianfei and Principal Lin behind her from time to time. In fact, she now thought that she was not a celebrity to make money, and she was eager to go home and replace her pants. Now, the pants were old and torn, and they were worn by her two sisters before. It would be fine if they were worn at school. Now in front of Kang Jianfei, the owner of the film company, Wen Bixia always felt that these pants were so shameless.
Principal Lin pointed to these stone steps and said, "Mr. Kang, don't be too simple here, everything is built by us personally. These stone steps were also knocked out by us refugees in the past."
Kang Jianfei smiled and praised: "Well, it's great. The residents of Doujingling are very united, otherwise they would not be able to build these stone steps."
"That's of course," Principal Lin said proudly, "In Hong Kong, the people in Diaojingling are the most united. If you want to do anything, just stand up and yell, 100,000 people will be united and do whatever you want! When we were still living in a paper shed, we did it ourselves and built eleven schools within three years. Because teaching is free, even students from the New Territories came to our Diaojingling to stay and study. The people in Diaojingling usually help each other, and their sentiments are very noble..."
Suddenly, Principal Lin's voice stopped abruptly, and he stared at the person on the roadside ahead with anger and angrily.
This man is about forty or fifty years old. He used to be a veteran and was peeing on the roadside with his shirtless. He didn't avoid seeing the little girl Wen Bixia coming. He was whistling while peeing, with a cool and comfortable expression.
After the veteran returned to the house, Principal Lin said awkwardly: "Mr. Kang, this is a rough man and his behavior is not very civilized. Don't take it seriously. Most of the people in our Doujingling are very etiquette."
Kang Jianfei glanced at the shack on the roadside and said, "I think this has nothing to do with civilization and barbarism, it is just a problem of lagging social development. If he had a bathroom at home, he would definitely not pee on the street. It is very simple to urinate everyone in Jingling to urinate civilizedly. Each family has a bathroom. This is what the Hong Kong government needs to consider."
When Principal Lin heard this, he felt that Mr. Kang was very considerate of the problem and sincerely affirmed: "Mr. Kang said it well, Diaojingling is indeed too poor. We are third-class citizens in Hong Kong, and we are not as good as those who smuggled from Vietnam and mainland China."
The two of them climbed the slope for more than ten minutes before finally reaching Wen Bixia's house.
This is a simple wooden house. The house is very dim and the ground is uneven. The area of ​​the whole house is up to 30 square meters, but there are nine people living there. Moreover, the only electrical appliances in the house are electric lights, not to mention refrigerators, TVs, or even electric fans.
Wen Bixia seemed embarrassed to invite them into such a bad house, moved out two small stools and said, "Mr. Kang, Principal Lin, please sit down."
"Thank you." Kang Jianfei sat down without being polite, but saw two children aged aged running out of the room, looking at Kang Jianfei, a man in a neat suit.
Soon another woman came out of the house, with white hair already on her temples. She saw Principal Lin sitting outside the house and asked hurriedly: "Mr. Lin, is my jade in my family causing trouble again?"
Principal Lin smiled and said, "It's not a disaster, it's a great thing. This is Boss Kang of Oriental DreamWorks Film Company. He is going to come to our school to make a movie. He happened to have a crush on your Jade and wanted Jade to be the heroine."
Kang Jianfei stood up and shook hands with the woman and said, "Hello, Mrs. Wen. I think your daughter has a good appearance and wants to support her as a movie star. Because she is underage and must be represented by her parents when signing the contract, she will take the liberty to visit today."
Wen's mother and Kang Jianfei's hands were shaking, and she immediately realized that her hands were dirty, and she immediately pulled them back and asked, "This boss, can't go to school if you go to film a movie?"
Kang Jianfei said: "How could it be? If Biyu is really popular, she can transfer to other better schools and study while filming. Haha, Principal Lin, don't be angry. I'm not saying that Diaojingling Middle School is not good, after all, the transportation here is too inconvenient."
"That's good. Mr. Kang will have to worry more in the future." Wen's mother did not ask in detail. Because her family was too poor, she was actually quite happy for her daughter to make money. She heard that she could also study while making money, so she was even happier.
Because Kang Jianfei was brought by Principal Lin, Wen's mother was not worried that he was a liar. She was about to call her daughter over and ask Wen Bixia to listen to Kang Jianfei's words carefully in the future, but found that her daughter was missing.
Only a minute or two later, Wen Bixia ran out of the house again. Her worn pants had been replaced and she stood under the eaves wearing a flower skirt with a smile.
It is already mid-November now. Although the winter in Hong Kong is not too cold, it is really not the time to wear skirts.
Wen Bixia's actions revealed two information: one is that she does not have a decent set of clothes, only this skirt can be worn out; the other is that this little girl is really beautiful and has a strong vanity.
Kang Jianfei took out the early prepared contract from his bag and said, "Mrs. Wen, that's right. It will take about a month to film this time. Because your daughter is a newcomer, the salary is only 3,000 yuan..."
"3,000 yuan?" Wen's mother screamed in shock.
Because the place in Doujingling is too remote, unless you go out to work, you can only grow some grain and vegetables to survive, and do some handicrafts to supplement your household income. 3,000 yuan is equivalent to Wen Bixia's family's annual cash income.
"Where is 3,000 yuan?" A man with a stubborn face ran out of the house, and his eyes were not wiped clean. He probably was sleeping before.
Principal Lin leaned into Kang Jianfei's ear and said, "This is Wen Biyu's father, and he was also a veteran. This man is a gambler of good wine, so don't hand over the money to him."
Kang Jianfei likes such people with fatal weaknesses and smiled at Wen's father: "Hello, Mr. Wen, I am the boss of the film company. I want to invite your daughter Wen Biyu to film, and the salary is 3,000 yuan."
"It's really 3,000 yuan?" Wen's father's eyes lit up, and then he spread his hands and said, "Give it to me quickly, I'm her, the money she earns is mine."
Kang Jianfei said: "Don't worry, I'll sign this contract before I'll talk about it. This contract must be signed by Biyu's guardian."
"I'll sign it." Wen's father couldn't wait to say, without looking at the terms of the contract, so he grabbed the pen and signed his name at the place designated by Kang Jianfei.
Kang Jianfei put away the contract but did not give him the money. Instead, he asked: "Mr. Wen, I think Jasper has great potential. If she is trained, she will definitely become popular. After she becomes popular, she will earn 3,000 yuan, not to mention 3,000 yuan a year. I wonder if you can believe me?"
When Wen's father heard that his daughter could earn 30,000 yuan a year, he nodded and said, "You can trust it, you can trust it."
Not only Wen's father, but Wen Bixia himself, at this time, he was full of stars, as if he was looking forward to a beautiful life of living in a big house and dressing well.
Kang Jianfei took the opportunity to take out another contract and said, "This is an agency contract. As long as I sign this contract, my company will carefully cultivate your daughter to make it famous."
Principal Lin heard something was wrong on the side. When he grabbed the agency contract, he found that there seemed to be no problem everywhere, but the contract period was actually ten years. He frowned and said, "Ten years are too long, right?"
Kang Jianfei smiled and explained: "Which stars under Shaw Brothers Pictures are not signed for ten or eight years? Only the top stars can sign a contract. If the signing is not longer, what if I make Wen famous and she suddenly jumps to another company? Am I wasted on the verge of nothing?"
Wen's mother hurriedly said, "No, no. Mr. Kang, don't worry, although we are poor, we still have to talk about loyalty and will never do that kind of ungrateful thing."
Wen's father also said: "That is, people are based on loyalty and righteousness. When I fought the Japanese, I always rushed forward, and my daughter couldn't do that kind of thing to escape at the last minute."
Principal Lin always felt something was wrong, and he asked, "Do you have to sign?"
Kang Jianfei was not in a hurry and said, "It's okay if you don't sign it, but after filming this drama, I can't guarantee that Wen can make other movies in the future."
Wen Bixia was anxious and said, "I am willing to sign. Ten years later, I am only 23 years old and I am still very young."
"That's right, Principal Lin, you talk too much, it's not your business." Wen's father complained. When he thought that his daughter would earn 30,000 yuan a year in the future, he felt itchy. He was afraid that Kang Jianfei would take the contract away, so he quickly picked up the pen to sign again.
Kang Jianfei collected the two contracts and took out 3,000 yuan from his bag and divided it into three parts and said, "It's better to do this. Of the 3,000 yuan, 1,000 yuan was given to his mother for his father, and the other 1,000 yuan was given to his mother for subsidy for the household, and the last 1,000 yuan was used as her own private money."
"No!" Wen's father, Wen's mother and Wen Bixia both opposed.
Wen's father said: "Biyu is so young and ignorant. She causes trouble if she has too much money, so she gives me all the money."
Wen's mother said: "You have to lose money again? The family has lost a penny. I want to use this money for household use."
Wen Bixia said: "I made this money, I have the final say. I want 1,000 yuan myself and 2,000 yuan for my mother!"
Kang Jianfei shrugged, distributed it according to Wen Bixia's words, and then walked to Wen's father and whispered to him: "Mr. Wen, your daughter will definitely become a big star in the future, and she can even get 100,000 or 200,000 yuan. You don't have to worry about the relationship with her daughter for 1,000 yuan now. With this money tree, the long-lasting flow of gold, silver and treasures will be abundant!"
Wen's father was right when he thought about it, but when he looked at the money in his wife, he was jealous and spread his hands and said, "Give me 100 yuan first."
Seeing that he didn't make trouble again, Wen's mother finally breathed a sigh of relief and gave her 100 yuan to her husband.
Everyone was so happy that Wen Bixia carefully put away her money and glanced at Kang Jianfei secretly, thinking that Boss Kang was really capable, so he convinced his father in a few words.
Seeing that the matter was done, Kang Jianfei said to Wen Bixia: "The name Wen Biyu is too ordinary and it will be difficult to become popular in the future. Why don't I change the stage name for you?"
Wen Bixia had long admired Kang Jianfei, and nodded with a smile: "I heard from Mr. Kang, and you can call him whatever you say."
