Lin Qingxia brought a fruit plate. Before Yang Caini could put down the fruit plate, she stuffed a piece of pineapple meat into her mouth with her fork, chewed the fruit and said, "The pineapple bought by my godmother is so delicious."
"Flattery doesn't have to be so obvious." Kang Jianfei came over and sat down, smiling and taking a bite.
In Lin Qingxia's mansion, in addition to her and her goddaughter Yang Caini, there was also Sophie Marceau who was about to return to France after filming.
Sophie Marceau hugged a pillow and nestled on the sofa and asked: "Brigitte (Brigitte Lin), why did you think of going to the United States to study literature? Isn't filming very interesting?"
"I'm just tired. I have been making movies for more than ten years and I want to stop and rest for a while." Lin Qingxia stirred her coffee and walked to sit next to Kang Jianfei.
Celebrities may look glamorous on the surface, but few people can remember the hard work and hardship behind them. Before becoming famous, they had a lot of trouble trying to become famous. After becoming famous, they not only have to film but also socialize. How can one have a good rest within a year?
Time is few and far between.
Of course, now Hong Kong's top stars don't need to socialize at all. Countless directors come to their door just because of their fame, and they go from one crew to another, so they are so busy that they don't even have time to socialize.
If they really don't have to worry about food and clothing, there are really not many stars who are willing to show up and film every day, unless that person really regards filming as a passionate career.
For example, Lin Qingxia and Lin Fengjiao have been making movies for more than ten years and have become famous. Once they find a home, they will definitely want to take some time off and rest.
Sophie Marceau leaned forward, inserted a piece of pineapple meat into her mouth with a toothpick, and said: "I sometimes feel tired when filming. But when I encounter a good script, I will be very happy."
Lin Qingxia asked Kang Jianfei: "I heard that you are planning to submit "Fang Fang" to the Cannes Awards. Are you confident?"
"Who knows, let's talk about it later." Kang Jianfei said with a smile.
Last year, Kang Jianfei directed and starred in "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", which was his real debut.
After being released in Hong Kong's summer season, "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" has been released in Southeast Asia, Japan and South Korea. Although the box office in various places is not as good as "A Chinese Ghost Story", the popularity it aroused is not much worse. The image of Zhong Chuhong's sexy female killer is deeply rooted in
human heart.
Just over a month after New Year's Day, "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" was released to the North American market by 20th Century Fox. The film really caught the appetite of North American audiences, bucking the market trend and grossing more than 55 million U.S. dollars at the box office, becoming the No. 1 film in the North American market in the new year.
A dark horse.
Compared with another time and space, Kang Jianfei's version of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" is less than one-third of the original North American box office. But taking into account the inflation in the past 20 years and the fact that it was not released during a popular period, Kang Jianfei's "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" is considered
Very good performance.
This movie made by Kang Jianfei is originally a combination of Western action movies and Eastern Kung Fu movies. Except that the male and female protagonists are all Asian, everything else is in line with the appetite of American and Canadian audiences. It can be said that "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" is the most popular movie in North America.
The box office performance is better than that in Asia.
"Mr. and Mrs. Smith" has been in theaters in North America for a full month. The news spread back to Hong Kong a few days ago after the film was released, and it immediately aroused the envy and jealousy of colleagues in Hong Kong.
The North American box office is 55 million US dollars, which is 430 million Hong Kong dollars. DreamWorks can get more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars in North America alone. The total box office of most Hong Kong films is not that much.
Not only did the media in Hong Kong once again praise "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", there were also many film critics in the United States who gave the film positive reviews.
"Hollywood Reporter" has a film review article saying: "With Chinese Kung Fu, handsome men and beautiful women, and killer gimmicks, American audiences are happy to pay to watch an Asian couple fight to the death on the screen."
"New York Magazine" commented: "It is a very original idea to combine killers with family elements. "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" is a movie that can allow you to spend two hours in the theater happily."
The New York Daily News commented modestly and then positively: "The film is full of smoking and sex, but the actors show more than just porn."
Of course, there are also many negative reviews. The Chicago Reader said: "This is a very stupid and uninteresting comedy-romantic action film that has nothing but fun and violence."
Lin Qingxia said: "There were not many good movies released in the United States some time ago. All the movie fans were robbed by "Mr. and Mrs. Smith". Ah Fei, you really showed your face in the United States this time."
"Haha, it's good if you can make money." Kang Jianfei said as if to avoid the topic. After all, this movie starred him and Zhong Chuhong, and Lin Qingxia's words were somewhat jealous.
Yang Caini held her chin with her little hand and said worriedly: "I don't know if I can continue filming after I go to the United States."
Lin Qingxia touched Yang Caini's head and said with a smile: "You are still young. You will have plenty of time after filming. The most important thing now is to study well."
Yang Caini still has to wait two months to turn 12, but she has appeared in many movies and TV series over the years and is considered a very famous child star in Hong Kong.
Because of this, Yang Caini's parents decided to send her to study abroad. Because of Yang Caini's current star status, it is difficult for her to study peacefully in a school in Hong Kong. This time Lin Qingxia returned to Hong Kong, in addition to meeting Kang Jianfei, her main purpose was to pick up Yang Caini.
U.S.
"But I think filming is more interesting than studying." Yang Caini protested weakly. She didn't want to go to the United States thousands of miles away, where she didn't even have a good friend.
Kang Jianfei smiled and said, "You can go tell your dad about this and see if he sends you out of the country."
Yang Caini immediately stopped talking. Her father is a native of Shanghai who moved to Hong Kong to do business for more than ten years. He is also a photography enthusiast. He took photos of his daughter when he was a few years old. It is still very enlightened. It is a pity that Yang Caini is not available for filming.
There were too many classes, and only one subject passed last year's final exam, which made Yang's father determined to send his daughter abroad.
It was almost evening, and Sophie Marceau curiously ran to the kitchen to help Lin Qingxia learn to cook Chinese food. In the living room, only Kang Jianfei and Yang Caini were left sitting there watching TV.
The little girl turned her depression into an appetite and ate pineapples dejectedly. However, when Phoenix TV's cartoon "Crayon Shin-chan" started airing, she forgot about her worries after watching it for a while and kept laughing happily at the TV.
It's a pity that happy time always passes too quickly. The TV station's children's programs were quickly finished. Yang Caini complained to Kang Jianfei: "Your TV station can't show more cartoons every day."
Kang Jianfei asked jokingly: "You are in middle school and you still watch cartoons. Aren't you afraid that your classmates will laugh at you?"
"No way, many boys in our class watch "Crayon Shin-chan"." Yang Caini stood up and imitated Xiaoxin's singing in a rough voice, "Elephant, elephant, why is your nose so long..."
"Hahaha..." Kang Jianfei was amused by her and burst into laughter.
Yang Caini, who is about to turn 12 years old, already looks like a young girl. The clothes on her chest are held up by two small bags. Her long hair and delicate and delicate facial features make her look indescribably cute and charming.
But there was such a beautiful little girl, singing Crayon Shin-chan's Elephant Song in a rough voice, and shaking her body like crazy. The cute contrast really made Kang Jianfei happy.
"What are you laughing at?" Lin Qingxia came out of the kitchen carrying dishes.
At this time, Yang Caini also realized that her behavior was not ladylike enough. She glared at Kang Jianfei as a warning, and then replied to Lin Qingxia: "This is a secret."
Sophie Massot came out holding a plate of dark things: "Come and have a taste, this is the tomato scrambled eggs I made myself."
After Sophie Marceau came to Hong Kong, she didn't like Cantonese food. Instead, she became addicted to tomato scrambled eggs.
Yang Caini ran to help bring out the bowls and chopsticks. Kang Jianfei took a bite of dark scrambled eggs and spat it into the trash can: "Why does it smell like oil?"
Lin Qingxia said with a smile: "She forgot to put the oil in the pan and put the eggs in the pan. Then she poured the oil in because it stuck to the pan. She probably started cooking the pan before the oil was cooked."
"Isn't it delicious?" Sophie Marceau took a bite of her masterpiece, frowned and almost vomited.
Kang Jianfei gave a thumbs up and encouraged: "It's the first time I cook Chinese food. It's already very impressive."
"Kang, please stop comforting me. I can't even eat it myself. But I will continue to work hard. I will definitely be able to make tomato scrambled eggs well in the future." Sophie Marceau confidently held up her failure.
Throw the work away.
After dinner, the little girl Yang Caini was talking about interesting things about school, and the atmosphere was quite cheerful.
Seeing that it was getting late, Sophie Marceau took the lead to say goodbye and leave. She would take a flight back to France tomorrow morning.
Yang Caini has also reached a sensible age. When she watches TV, she goes back to the bedroom at 10 o'clock and no longer pesters her godmother Lin Qingxia.
Kang Jianfei was lying on the bed reading for a while, and Lin Qingxia walked in wrapped in a bath towel. Before she could say anything, he pulled her to the bed, and the bath towel spread out to reveal her charming breasts.
"Why are you so anxious? It hurts me." Lin Qingxia, who was pinned down by Kang Jianfei, said coquettishly.
"I miss you so much, I miss you every day." Kang Jianfei said coaxing words while kissing Lin Meiren's chest muscles.
"I don't believe it... um..." Halfway through Lin Qingxia's words, Beiqi bit her lips and hummed softly, closing her eyes slightly to enjoy the tickling feeling.
**After a while, the blushing and shy sounds in the bedroom finally stopped.
Kang Jianfei hugged the beauty in his arms and said, "Don't you wait until the Academy Awards is over before you leave?"
"No, I will take Caini to the United States in two days, and her mother will go with her." Lin Qingxia said. In fact, Lin Qingxia didn't want to see Kang Jianfei being intimate with other women at the Academy Awards, although she already wanted to pass
In order to be Kang Jianfei's lover, but he didn't want to stay in Hong Kong for a long time and get jealous, so he went to the United States to further his studies.
Lin Qingxia had heard about the daughter Pan Yingzi gave birth to to Kang Jianfei, but she knew nothing about Kang Jianfei and He Chaoqiong's son who was about to turn one year old. The He family kept the matter a secret.
The biggest headache for Kang Jianfei was that the gambling king brought up the matter of marriage again, which made him unable to refuse because He Chaoqiong also agreed. (To be continued...) u
