Thanks to Kang Jianfei's outstanding performance, the last two days of filming were completed very smoothly.
Wu Mengda seemed to have lost all his money and stopped gambling. He came to the set on time every day, and even asked Kang Jianfei to borrow money once. Well, Kang Jianfei lent him 20 yuan, otherwise this guy would not even have money for dinner.
The reason why Wu Mengda asked Kang Jianfei, whom he didn't know well, to borrow money was because no one in the entire crew was willing to lend him money. In addition to the money he owed his friends, this bad guy also owed a lot of money to the bank. Next year, he will be due to owe the bank
Unable to repay the 300,000 yuan, he eventually declared bankruptcy.
When "Chu Liuxiang" was completed, Wu Mengda finally received the last part of the salary, found 20 yuan and gave it back to Kang Jianfei, smiling: "Fei, how about playing mahjong? I'll make an appointment with two more people."
"No need." Kang Jianfei didn't want to hang out with Wu Mengda in his current state.
Wu Mengda left angrily. Wang Tianlin packed up his things and called Kang Jianfei aside and asked: "A Fei, are you interested in becoming a contracted actor with TVB?"
Li Jiading and Wu Chenggang were not far away, and they both heard Wang Tianlin's question.
Li Jiading originally wanted to accept Kang Jianfei as his apprentice, but when he heard that Wang Tianlin wanted to support Kang Jianfei, he immediately gave up the idea of accepting an apprentice. After all, martial arts is really not good enough compared to actors contracted by TVB, and smart people will not choose to do martial arts.
Wu Chenggang was shocked. Kang Jianfei had good looks and good acting skills. With Wang Tianlin's help, it would be easy to become a popular star.
Wu Cheng's nephew is going to become a big star. Just thinking about it, Wu Cheng feels very dreamy. Having stayed in Hong Kong for twenty years, he knows very well how difficult it is for a mainlander to make it here.
And his nephew Kang Jianfei has only been in Hong Kong from the mainland for a month!
What surprised them was that Kang Jianfei did not agree immediately, but asked instead: "How many years will the contract be signed?"
Wang Tianlin said: "Eight years of artist appointment."
Kang Jianfei shook his head and said, "It's too long."
Wu Chenggang almost fainted when he heard this, and complained in his heart that this kid was so confused: You, a mainland boy, can be a contracted actor for TVB, and you have the support of a powerful figure in the station like Wang Tianlin. This is something that many people can't dream of.
You actually think the artist’s date is too long!
Wang Tianlin was not angry at all, thinking that Kang Jianfei had just arrived in Hong Kong and didn't understand these things. He explained in detail: "The minimum contract is five years, but only well-known actors and training class students can sign five-year contracts. At least a newcomer like you can
Eight years, after all, the TV station will spend a lot of resources to support you. If you are already a popular star, the TV station can still sign you a head contract, but you are still a newcomer now."
Kang Jianfei smiled and said: "In this case, I will continue to be an extra, but I still have to thank Uncle Tianlin for his care."
After only two days of working as a stuntman, Kang Jianfei hit the snake with a stick and already started calling Wang Tianlin "Uncle Tianlin".
Wang Tianlin felt that his ears had heard it wrong. In his imagination, Kang Jianfei would dance with joy after hearing the news. He never expected that Kang Jianfei would refuse!
"You brat, you took the wrong medicine!" Cousin Wu Chenggang finally couldn't bear it any longer, ran over and pressed Kang Jianfei's head, scolding, "Don't admit your mistake to Producer Wang yet!"
Kang Jianfei lowered his head and said: "Uncle Tianlin, I'm sorry for letting down your love, but being an actor is really not my ideal, and my role on the set is temporary."
Wang Tianlin's good intentions were rejected. To be honest, he was indeed a little angry, but mostly he couldn't laugh or cry, and he was also curious about Kang Jianfei. Wang Tianlin asked: "Being an actor is not your ideal, so what do you want to do?"
Kang Jianfei smiled and said: "Be a screenwriter."
"Screenwriter?" Wang Tianlin didn't expect this answer and said, "Then show me the script you wrote."
"The script hasn't been written yet. I'll give it to Uncle Tian Lin to review someday." Kang Jianfei said. In fact, his poor writing style is not the material to be a screenwriter. He just wants to make it more beautiful and come up with a few TV drama scripts to sell. It's just to provide start-up capital for TVB.
Wang Tianlin thought for a moment and said, "Okay then, I'll wait for your script. If you decide to be an actor someday, you can come to me. You have the potential to be a popular niche actor."
Kang Jianfei smiled and said, "Uncle Tianlin is so complimentary."

"Afei, see you another day!" Zheng Shaoqiu left the set with the support of his girlfriend Shen Tianxia and waved goodbye to Kang Jianfei before going out.
Kang Jianfei also smiled and waved: "Goodbye Qiu Guan, goodbye Sister Fei!"
Watching Zheng Shaoqiu and Zheng Shaoqiu, and Shen Tianxia's cordial farewells, all the extras on the crew felt uncomfortable - why were the extras who had been running in Clear Water Bay for several years unexpectedly inferior to Kang Jianfei, a mainlander who had been in Hong Kong for less than a month? Boy? God is so blind!
A few days ago, Kang Jianfei had a good chat with all the extras. However, since he became Zheng Shaoqiu's stand-in and received Wang Tianlin's care, many people's attitude towards Kang Jianfei has changed 180 degrees.
The people who were originally called brothers turned coldly towards each other when they met Kang Jianfei.
This is the human heart. If Kang Jianfei suddenly becomes a big star, these people will rush to fawn over him. However, Kang Jianfei is just a stuntman who has just finished filming. Although he has received the care of Wang Tianlin, his identity is not embarrassing, so he can only This arouses jealousy and disdain from other extras.
Not long after, the news spread that Kang Jianfei rejected Wang Tianlin's invitation and refused to be an officially contracted actor with TVB. Everyone who heard the news was extremely surprised, and then they laughed at Kang Jianfei, a mainland boy, who was so stupid that a piece of him fell from the sky. The pie fell into his arms and was thrown away by him!
It was almost noon. After Kang Jianfei said goodbye to Li Jiading, he was about to finish work with Wu Chenggang and Hu Juncai and go home. As soon as he walked out of the door of the filming studio, the gossip-loving set worker Chen Bingkun caught up and asked: "Brother Fei, what are you going to do tonight?" Don’t have time? Let’s go to the ballroom to dance together.”
Wu Chenggang glanced at Chen Bingkun and scolded: "You are so young and you are having fun, do you have any pursuits? If you go to a place like this in the future, don't come to see A Fei again."
Chen Bingkun curled his lips and cursed the old antique in his heart.
Kang Jianfei found this person interesting. He used to call himself "A Fei", but today he called himself "Brother Fei". Apparently he thought that he would have a future, so he established a good relationship in advance.
"Let's wait another day." Kang Jianfei winked at him and said softly.
Chen Bingkun smiled, with an "I understand" expression, and then left in good company with several other people.
Wu Chenggang warned: "Ah Fei, Ah Cai, my cousin has been in Hong Kong for twenty years and has seen many people gradually go astray just because of dancing and horse racing. You are still young, so you have to work hard and don't just enjoy yourself all day long..."
Kang Jianfei discovered that his cousin was not only a bad guy, but also a Tang monk who liked to preach.
After going home for lunch, Kang Jianfei picked up the manuscript that his cousin Wu Ruiqing had revised and said to Wu Chenggang: "Cousin, I'm going out for a while."
Wu Chenggang put down his job and asked: "Where are you going?"
"Chai Wan." Kang Jian flew up the manuscript in his hand.
Wu Chenggang said in surprise: "You are really planning to get Ming Pao to submit an article."
Kang Jianfei smiled and said, "Let's give it a try, what if Ming Pao accepts my manuscript."
Wu Chenggang didn't say anything else. He thought it would be a good idea to let his nephew hit a wall, so that he wouldn't have to think about things all day long. After hitting a wall, come back, work honestly as a TVB contract actor, and then slowly become a big star. That is the right way.
Kang Jianfei took the manuscript and left. Hu Juncai caught up from behind and asked: "Can your book really be published?"
Kang Jianfei smiled and said: "It should be possible."
"Then you are not a writer?" Hu Juncai said in surprise. In his impression, writers were all intellectuals. They were the target of criticism before, but now they are great writers.
Kang Jianfei laughed: "I am just a cultural liar. These days, just being able to write doesn't mean you can be called a writer."
After taking to the street, Kang Jianfei stopped a taxi directly. Hu Juncai tugged at the corner of his clothes and said, "Afei, let's take the bus. Taking a taxi is very expensive."
"I don't want you to pay for the car." Kang Jianfei didn't bother to say more to him, opened the door and got in the car. Kang Jianfei used to earn 25 yuan a day for more than a week. In the past two days, he earned more than 200 yuan as Chu Liuxiang's stand-in, and he already had
For more than 400 Hong Kong dollars, taking a taxi is more than enough.
Kang Jianfei has long understood the truth that money is not saved, but earned.
The taxi came out of the undersea tunnel and arrived at Hong Kong Island. It was obviously much more prosperous than Kowloon. There were high-rise buildings on both sides of the road, various billboards on the street, and everything in the windows. The streets were bustling with traffic, and there was a bustling atmosphere.
The breath of the city hits you.
Hu Juncai stuck his head out of the car window, looking up at the modern buildings flying behind the car with an expression of wonder, and said to himself: "This is the real Hong Kong!"
Kang Jianfei looked up at the tall building and thought silently in his heart: "This will be my Hong Kong."
