Lin Qingxia originally wanted to say a few words to Kang Jianfei, but she didn't expect that as soon as the conversation started, more than half an hour passed without her realizing it.
Lin Qingxia came to Hawaii in January, before the Lunar New Year. Half a year later, except for talking to the old Chinese lady who lived with her, she didn’t have much communication with other people. Because the long-distance phone charges at this time were too high.
Expensive, it took her two months to call her family to tell them she was safe.
For half a year, Lin Qingxia only commuted between her residence and school every day. She also temporarily got out of the emotional whirlpool and immersed herself in studying.
Occasionally, after finding out her address, a director or investor would fly over to ask her to make a movie, but Lin Qingxia always refused.
Lin Qingxia was completely deaf to what was going on outside the window. Not to mention that she didn't know anything about Hong Kong and Taiwan. She didn't even read the local newspapers in Hawaii and went straight to the pile of books.
But after half a year of this, Lin Qingxia had a lot of words in her heart and wanted to find someone to talk to.
Kang Jianfei is very talkative, but after all, she is a stranger, so Lin Qingxia will naturally not reveal her true feelings to her. However, Lin Qingxia still feels quite happy to talk about daily life and recent events in Hong Kong and Taiwan.
"I haven't been to Taiwan recently, but an interesting thing happened in Hong Kong." Kang Jianfei said.
Lin Qingxia smiled and asked: "Oh, what's something interesting?"
Kang Jianfei said: "There is a movie called "Mr. Zombie" with a box office of over 20 million."
Lin Qingxia's understanding of Hong Kong movie box office is still limited to last year. She was surprised: "Which director is so powerful? The highest box office in Hong Kong before was not even 10 million."
Kang Jianfei said: "A new director traveled from mainland China and has only been in Hong Kong for more than half a year."
Lin Qingxia was indeed interested and asked: "Has that director made movies in mainland China before?"
Kang Jianfei shook his head and said: "This director is very young. He has just turned 19 years old. He is now called a 'miracle director' or a 'disaster film director' by Hong Kong newspapers."
"You're only 19 years old!" Lin Qingxia was shocked and asked, "The Miracle Director is easy to understand. He made a movie with a box office of 20 million at a young age. But what does it mean to be a 'disaster film' director?"
Kang Jianfei said: "Because when "Mr. Zombie" was released, all the other movies released at the same time were thrown into the street. The main reason is that this movie was so beautiful that after watching it, the audience didn't want to watch other movies anymore and would just buy it again.
I watched "Mr. Zombie" over and over again. So the newspaper described "Mr. Zombie" as a disaster movie, a disaster for other movies, and the director became a "disaster movie director". Who will be in the future?
As long as the movie is released with him, it will not sell well at the box office."
"So awesome," Lin Qingxia said amusedly, "When you say that, I want to watch the movie "Mr. Zombie"."
Kang Jianfei was carrying a bag on his back. At this time, he took out a cassette tape from the bag and said: "You can't see "Mr. Zombie". But you can listen to this record first."
""Original Scenery of Hometown"?" Lin Qingxia looked at the cover of the tape. The cover of the tape did not have a photo of Kang Jianfei printed on it, but a beautiful natural scenery. She looked at it and asked, "This is a masterpiece handed down from generation to generation by the musical genius Kang Jianfei...
Who is this Kang Jianfei? Is he a recently popular singer in Hong Kong?"
Kang Jianfei smiled and said: "This is the interesting thing I said before. Kang Jianfei, the author of this record, is the director of "Mr. Zombie"."
"No way, this Kang Jianfei not only made a movie with a box office of 20 million, he can actually write songs and sing." Lin Qingxia was surprised and smiled. "Next time I go to Hong Kong, I must visit this Mr. Kang."
Kang Jianfei looked at his watch, stood up and said, "Ms. Lin, it's very pleasant to chat with you, just like having afternoon tea with an old friend I haven't seen for many years. But it's getting late, and I have something to do, so I won't
excuse me."
Lin Qingxia did not expect that Kang Jianfei would take the initiative to say goodbye. She completely dispelled her vigilance, nodded and said with a smile: "Business matters, by the way. I haven't asked you your name yet?"
Kang Jianfei smiled and said: "It's necessary to know each other when we meet. We are destined to meet again."
After Kang Jianfei finished speaking, he left calmly.
"Hey, your tape!" Lin Qingxia suddenly realized that she was still holding someone else's record in her hand, and quickly shouted and chased after her. But after chasing out of the school, Kang Jianfei had lost sight of her, so she had to say to herself, "
What a weirdo."
Lin Qingxia returned home with the tape and saw the old lady cooking and said, "Aunt Qin, let me help you."
The old lady smiled and said: "It's okay, I'll do it myself. Miss Lin, you can go read a book."
Mrs. Qin is the mother of a female editor in Taiwan, and Lin Qingxia is not very familiar with the female editor. They only met a few times. It was Qiong Yao who heard that Lin Qingxia was going to the United States to relax, so she helped contact the female editor, and then they moved there.
Mrs. Qin’s home.
Since Lin Qingxia's debut, her mother Ma Lanying has been her manager and life assistant, always with her at all times, for fear that her daughter will suffer.
This time Ma Lanying was also planning to come to Hawaii to take care of her daughter. Before departure, she thought she would have to spend money in the United States, so she went to the black market to exchange for 20,000 U.S. dollars. As a result, she was found out during the airport security check and was not allowed to leave the country for six months.
punishment.
Lin Qingxia was kicked out of the kitchen by the old lady. Thinking of the cassette tape left by Kang Jianfei, she couldn't help but run back to the bedroom and stuff it into the cassette recorder.
After pressing the play button on the recorder, Lin Qingxia lay down comfortably on the bed.
After a beautiful melody, no lyrics appeared, and Lin Qingxia didn't pay much attention, and fell asleep while listening to the music.
"Dong dong dong!"
There was a knock on the door, and Mrs. Qin's voice came from outside the door: "Ms. Lin, it's time for dinner."
"Oh, here we come." Lin Qingxia suddenly woke up, and the album "Original Scenery of Hometown" was placed as the last song.
After the door opened, Mrs. Qin pointed to the tape recorder and said, "What kind of music is this? It's quite nice."
"I don't know the name, but this record is called "Original Scenery of Hometown" and it was released in Hong Kong." Lin Qingxia said and brought the recorder to the dining room. Since the old lady likes to listen, she took it out.
put.
Mrs. Qin put down the bowls and chopsticks and said with a smile: "I have always eaten Western food and noodles. I think Miss Lin is tired of them. Today I specially made a plate of red pork and stir-fried sausages with broccoli."
Lin Qingxia rewinded the tape and pressed the play button. She quickly went to help the old lady serve the food and said, "I've been living here for half a year. I only bothered Aunt Qin."
The old lady smiled and said, "It's better that you are here, otherwise it would be very deserted for me, an old woman, to live here."
The two of them sat down to eat. The old lady had just picked up two pieces of sausage for Lin Qingxia, and suddenly she seemed to be in a daze. She sat there motionless with chopsticks in her hand.
Lin Qingxia thought something was wrong with her, so she quickly asked nervously: "Aunt Qin, what's wrong with you?"
The old lady came back to her senses immediately and said with a smile: "It's nothing. Listening to this music, I suddenly thought of many things."
Lin Qingxia didn't pay attention to the music at all, just thinking that the old lady was old and loved to reminisce about the past.
…………

It wasn't until Lin Qingxia fell asleep listening to "Original Scenery of Hometown" before going to bed that she felt that this record was very good and could calm people's emotions.
After listening to two classes the next morning, Lin Qingxia ran to the school library to find a book of European literature and read it.
Just after reading a few pages, Lin Qingxia felt someone sitting down next to her, and a pen rolled down at her feet.
Lin Qingxia bent down and picked up the pen. Just as she was about to hand it back to the person, she found that the person who dropped the pen was actually the weirdo yesterday. She asked in a surprised voice: "What a coincidence."
"Yeah." Kang Jianfei smiled.
Lin Qingxia said: "I took your tape home."
Kang Jianfei said: "It's okay, I'll just treat it as a gift to you. I'll buy another one when I go back to Hong Kong."
Lin Qingxia said: "How can you be so embarrassed?"
Kang Jianfei said: "Just think of it as a gift from a friend."
Lin Qingxia did not refuse anymore, smiled at Kang Jianfei, and started reading again.
Kang Jianfei was also reading a book. He was reading a book called "The Complete Works of Shakespeare", which contained long sections of non-human dialogue. Kang Jianfei yawned and almost fell asleep while sitting down.
When Lin Qingxia closed the book, Kang Jianfei said in relief: "It's almost noon, where is there any good food nearby?"
Lin Qingxia already regarded Kang Jianfei as an interesting friend, and said: "The steak at the restaurant outside the school is good. I'm here to treat you as a thank you for giving me a nice record."
Kang Jianfei smiled and said, "Then I won't be polite."
The two put the books back and left the library. Lin Qingxia said: "It's the second time we meet. You won't say why we met before, right?"
Kang Jianfei said: "You can just call me A Fei."
Lin Qingxia didn't think much about it, let alone connect him with Kang Jianfei on the tape cover.
After chatting all the way to the store, the waiter came over with a menu and Lin Qingxia asked: "What do you want?"
Kang Jianfei said: "I don't speak English. Just tell the waiter and ask for a medium rare steak."
"Phew!" Lin Qingxia covered her mouth and smiled.
Kang Jianfei asked doubtfully: "Why are you laughing?"
Lin Qingxia held back her laughter and said, "Well, Fei, there are no medium-rare steaks, only three-cent, five-minute, seven-minute and well-done."
Kang Jianfei was stunned, but fortunately he was very thick-skinned. He coughed and said, "Then it will be fully cooked."
Lin Qingxia said a few words to the waiter, and the waiter nodded and backed away."
Kang Jianfei's heart was filled with ten thousand bullshit. He had eaten medium-aged steaks for several years in his previous life. Why the hell didn't anyone correct him? Even in restaurants in five-star hotels, if you shout "eight" to the waiter,
Mature steak, the other party immediately said: "Okay, it will be there soon."
I spent several days setting up and preparing, and spent a lot of effort entering the library of the University of Hawaii, just to create a romantic and mysterious feeling in front of Beauty Lin.
Now it's all fucking ruined on a piece of steak! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian.com () to vote for recommendations, monthly votes, and your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users please go to m.
