The large iron gate that is usually closed is open, and luxury cars drive up from time to time, handing over invitations and then driving into the villa.
Today is a good day for the 29th anniversary of the establishment of Macau Tourism and Entertainment Company, the foundation of King Ho. However, the dinner held by the Ho family is not just for that. It is mainly to celebrate King Ho’s bid to win the largest development project in Macau in decades-Nanwan.
Artificial lake development plan.
He Chaoqiong was dressed beautifully tonight. She wore a white ladylike dress, her hair was pulled up high, and her necklace was adorned with a huge heart-shaped diamond, which was dazzling and contrasted well with her flawless white chest.
Compared with He Chaoqiong's dazzling attire, Kang Jianfei is much more casual. He doesn't care what formal banquet he attends, he goes out wearing a casual suit, without a tie or anything.
If an ordinary businessman were to attend a banquet of rich people dressed like this, he would definitely be laughed at as a country bumpkin or a tasteless upstart. But Kang Jianfei is the newly crowned richest man in Hong Kong, the second largest shareholder of Hollywood giant Paramount, and is still engaged in the entertainment industry.
It is absolutely impossible for a tycoon to not even understand the rules of dressing.
So Kang Jianfei dressed like this can be explained by his free and easy temperament.
When Kang Jianfei and He Chaoqiong arrived, a lot of people had already gathered in the banquet hall. They formed small circles in twos and threes and chatted. As soon as they arrived, they attracted a lot of attention. One was the prosperous richest man in Hong Kong, and the other was the gambling king Ruhua.
It's hard for Xiyu's daughter not to attract attention.
King He Du was chatting with several male guests, and his fourth wife, Liang Anqi, was standing next to him. When he saw Kang Jianfei and his wife coming, he smiled and waved: "Fei, Pansy, come here and meet some uncles."
He Chaoqiong walked over with Kang Jianfei on his arm, nodded and said, "Hello, dad, how are you, Uncle Zheng!"
He Gambling King did not introduce the "Uncle Zheng" in He Chaoqiong's mouth, but first introduced another man over fifty years old: "A Fei, this is Chen Yuanguo, Vice President Chen of Nanwan Development Company." After that, He Gambling King added
He said, "Vice President Chen is also a mainlander."
"It turns out to be Vice President Chen. I have long admired your name. Hello!" Kang Jianfei instantly realized that Chen Yuanguo was the Chinese person in charge of the Nanwan Lake project.
Nam Van Lake is not just an artificial lake, it is a reclamation project in Macau to be precise. The purpose is to build a commercial tourism center. The project is planned to be completed in three phases, with a total investment of up to 1.4 billion US dollars. King Ho Gambling only occupies the inside
40% of the shares. The remaining investors include Hong Kong jewelry magnate Zheng Yutong, as well as investments from Portugal and mainland China.
For King Ho, the Nam Van Lake project is not just about making money, but its political implications are even more important to him. This is his first direct cooperation with Chinese capital.
In fact, King Ho was recognized by China three years ago. At that time, Sino-Portuguese negotiations had just concluded. King Ho took the initiative and donated an antique boxwood statue of Bodhidharma to the Forbidden City. He was later appointed by the central government as deputy chairman of the Macao Basic Law Drafting Committee.
Director, Deputy Director of the Special Administrative Region Preparatory Committee. This was a reassurance for He Gambling. However, due to lack of trust, he continued to allocate funds to invest in Canada and was ready to run away at any time.
This time on the Nanwan Lake project, King Ho finally had business cooperation with the Chinese side, which made him feel more at ease than the position of deputy director.
"I have admired Mr. Kang for a long time. I have heard about Mr. Kang's deeds in the mainland," Chen Yuanguo said to King He Du with a smile, "Mr. He has a sharp eye and has found a good son-in-law."
"It's rare for young people to be enterprising." King He Gambling nodded. He was obviously very proud of having a richest man's son-in-law, but he showed an air of neither saltiness nor indifference.
King He Du introduced again: "This is the jewelry king Mr. Zheng Yutong Zheng."
Kang Jianfei shook hands with Zheng Yutong and said, "Hello, Mr. Zheng."
"Not bad, not bad, he is indeed a young talent." Zheng Yutong praised sincerely. Kang Jianfei accumulated a net worth of more than 30 billion Hong Kong dollars in just 12 years, which amazed Zheng Yutong, who made his fortune in industry and real estate.
King He Du introduced two more Portuguese ghosts, one was the official representative of the Portuguese and Macao government, and the other was the Portuguese representative of Nanwan Company.
This was Kang Jianfei's first public appearance as the gambling king's son-in-law. He Gambling King took Kang Jianfei and He Chaoqiong around the banquet hall and solemnly introduced him to some important people.
Although Kang Jianfei is named the richest man in Hong Kong, he is still just a newcomer to Hong Kong's rich circle. In other words, he is busy with his career and women and has never integrated into that circle.
Kang Jianfei has no interest in integrating into that circle. He is engaged in the entertainment industry and has no shortage of money for investment. There is no need to deal with those rich people.
However, there are exceptions, such as He Chaoqiong's uncle, the famous playboy Ye Deli. This old gentleman is said to have had more than 100 girlfriends, and he is still surrounded by many confidantes even when he is quite old. He has had the most sensational sex
What happened was not about opening a casino or anything like that, but when he was on vacation in Mexico 7 years ago, he invited 52 ex-girlfriends and their husbands and children to celebrate his 70th birthday. Each guest received generous gifts.
Sturdy life without explanation.
At this moment, Mr. Ye, who is already 77 years old, is hugging a young model in his 20s. Perhaps because he has heard about Kang Jianfei's romantic reputation, Ye Deli is particularly kind to Kang Jianfei. If there were no other people around, he would probably
Both of them were already chatting about their experiences in picking up girls.
King He Gambling only helped Kang Jianfei introduce those wealthy people from the older generation, and those who were younger or lacked weight were helped by brothers and sisters He Chaoqiong and He Chaoxiong.
"This is Mr. Zheng Jiachun, the eldest son of Mr. Zheng."
"This is Mr. Du Huikai, general manager of New World Hotel."
"This is Ms. Bao Beili, the daughter of the Charter King."
"Who is this……"
In half an hour, Kang Jianfei got to know some of Hong Kong's first, second and third generation of rich people and young talents.
Although the attitudes of these people towards Kang Jianfei are all enthusiastic, if you look closely, there are differences. Some are really enthusiastic and some are hypocritical. They each have their own circles, and they only exchange a few polite words after getting to know each other. There are not so many things that feel like old friends at first sight.
It wasn't until the music started playing and Kang Jianfei took He Chaoqiong's hand to dance for a while that he had time to sit down and have a drink.
The fourth wife Liang Anqi, who was originally just a follower to King He Gambling, now became the center of the dance floor. Her good looks and elegant and charming possessions made many men glance at her intentionally or unintentionally.
"This fourth aunt is very good at dancing." Kang Jianfei said with a smile while sipping the red wine.
He Chaoqiong was obviously disgusted with the gambling king's fourth wife, and snorted coldly: "She's just a vixen."
The fourth wife, Liang Anqi, used to be a dancer in the Guangzhou Cultural Troupe, but she came to Macau alone and had a hard time. Five years ago, she seized the opportunity to sneak into a private dance, and her dance captivated King Ho.
She officially became the fourth concubine two years ago.
Ever since the fourth concubine entered the family, the gambling king has focused on her, attending dances, banquets, etc., and he is always accompanied by the fourth concubine.
At this time, the fourth concubine Liang Anqi was dancing with a young man in his 30s. Both of them had very good dancing skills. Gradually, everyone else stopped and gathered around to admire their dancing.
At the end of the song, Liang Anqi bowed to the audience very elegantly and made a lady's salute, and the audience responded with warm applause.
King He Du was also applauding vigorously. When he saw his fourth wife dancing with other men, he was not jealous at all, but was happy that his woman was the center of attention.
"Baby, you dance so well!" King He Du praised.
A moment later, when the dance music started playing again, a middle-aged man came over, stretched out his hand, and said, "Miss He, are you lucky enough to dance with me?"
He Chaoqiong looked at Kang Jianfei, saw him nodding slightly, then stood up and said with a smile: "Please."
The young man nodded politely to Kang Jianfei, and then took He Chaoqiong to dance.
Kang Jianfei felt very bored. If there was a suitable partner at the scene, he would definitely ask others to dance with great enthusiasm. But there are only two kinds of women who come to the dance, one is a rich lady, and the other is a female companion of a rich man. Kang Jianfei is both
It’s hard to make a move or you’re not interested in making a move—the main reason is that He Chaoqiong is here and he can’t go too far.
"There are so many beauties, why don't you go dance a song?" Ye Deli came over with red wine. His young model girlfriend was currently dancing with another man.
Kang Jianfei laughed and said, "I'm not a good dancer. I heard that Mr. Ye was a dancer in the dance hall when he was young and captivated thousands of beautiful girls with his dancing."
"A good man is old, not to mention his bravery in the past," Ye Deli said with a proud smile, "Don't call me Mr. Old, follow Arqiong and call me uncle."
Kang Jianfei pointed at the young model on the dance floor and said, "Uncle, you are still a swordsman and a hero as before."
Ye Deli laughed heartily and said: "Hahaha, if I were 50 years younger, I would definitely have a good fight with you."
While the two salty guys were joking, the fourth concubine Liang Anqi came over at some point, sat down next to Kang Jianfei familiarly, and said, "What are you two talking about? You are laughing so happily."
Ye Deli is indeed a veteran who has been with Henghuacong for decades, and he is so obedient that he speaks readily: "We were just talking about the fourth wife's dance, which is as beautiful as a fairy descending to earth."
Liang Anqi rolled her eyes at Ye Deli charmingly: "You are making fun of me again."
Ye Deli stood up with a smile and said, "You young people are chatting, and my old man won't be in the way."
After Ye Deli left, Liang Anqi asked Kang Jianfei: "Why doesn't Mr. Kang go dancing?"
Kang Jianfei turned his head and glanced, and found that the gambling king was sitting in the corner with Zheng Yutong and Chen Yuanguo talking about something, then he turned back and said, "I can't dance well."
"Don't lie to me," Liang Anqi looked at Kang Jianfei with her cheek in hand, and said with a smile, "I have watched your performance in "Mr. and Mrs. Smith". The part where you danced with Zhong Chuhong was very exciting, but it is not something that a novice can dance.
.”
Kang Jianfei said: "I don't dance because I don't have a good dance partner."
Liang Anqi blinked and asked, "Do you think I am a good dance partner?"
Kang Jianfei smiled and said, "If I dance with you, Arqiong will probably go crazy on the spot."
Liang Anqi laughed and said: "Aren't you known as the 'Love Saint of Hong Kong and Kowloon'? Are you still afraid of your wife?"
Kang Jianfei said speechlessly: "Do I have this nickname?"
"It has been spread all over the country for a long time." Liang Anqi said.
Kang Jianfei spread his hands: "Actually, this is all misunderstanding by outsiders. I am a very dedicated person."
"You are very humorous." Liang Anqi covered her mouth and snickered.
To be honest, in terms of appearance and temperament, the fourth concubine Liang Anqi can score 90 points for Kang Jianfei. If the other party is free, Kang Jianfei would not mind communicating with her to discuss life ideals, but Liang Anqi is the gambling king's favorite wife.
Kang Jianfei would not move his sperm no matter how hard it was on his head.
But based on Kang Jianfei's rich experience, this Liang Anqi was definitely trying to seduce him.
Liang Anqi suddenly covered his smile and said reminiscing: "Like you, I came from Guangdong, half a year later than you. I can only dance, but not anything else. I even fell asleep hungry in the middle of the night several times.
Nothing. For five whole years, I lived a precarious life. Do you know what my greatest pleasure was at that time?"
Kang Jianfei didn't know why the fourth concubine was so crazy. When she suddenly said these words to him, he could only ask: "What fun?"
"I just went to the cinema to watch your movie," Liang Anqi giggled. "I thought at that time, I am also from Guangdong. I was so bad that I didn't even have the shame to go back to my hometown. But you started your own company and made money.
Daqian must be a very powerful man, and I am your fan."
Liang Anqi's seductive intentions became more and more obvious. Kang Jianfei could only respond wordlessly, but he was wondering in his heart what this person wanted to do.
Kang Jianfei thought about it, and there was probably only one possibility. This woman seemed to be really interested in him, and of course it was a sexual interest. Liang Anqi finally became the fourth wife of the gambling queen, so it was naturally impossible for her to stage another drama of elopement for true love.
, but there are still emotional and physical pursuits.
Suddenly, Liang Anqi's expression changed slightly, he quietly put a note into Kang Jianfei's hand, and then stood up and left calmly.
Kang Jianfei knew from the sound of footsteps that He Chaoqiong was coming. When the two women passed by each other, they didn't even say hello, and they obviously had no interest in communicating with each other.
"You enjoyed chatting with her, didn't you?" He Chaoqiong said in a sour tone.
Kang Jianfei calmly put away the note Liang Anqi gave him and said, "Who knows why this woman is so crazy that she suddenly came to me to befriend me?"
…
When Kang Jianfei attended the He family banquet, Tony Leung Ka Fai, Chung Chu Hong, Lam Jieying and other "The Truman Show" cast members had already started their promotional show in Cannes.
Now that DreamWorks has a solid foundation, it is different from the small business in the past, where it held a banquet directly in a hotel in Cannes and invited many film critics and reporters to promote it.
As for Kang Jianfei, he is now an internationally renowned director, and big names always appear at the last moment.
On the fourth day of the Cannes Film Festival, "The Truman Show" finally began to be screened. Because Kang Jianfei and Tony Leung Ka Fai are both well-known in Europe, and many fans came to watch the film, the film festival organizing committee gave a good
Treatment, more than 20 screening halls are screening at the same time.
Compared to Hong Kong and the United States, "The Truman Show" is actually more suitable for French audiences. Moreover, in order to cater to the different preferences of audiences around the world, the European version of "The Truman Show" has many detailed changes, and some parts have been cut out purely for the purpose of
Funny vulgar scenes, but added some plots with a painful and melancholy atmosphere.
There is no need to explain the effect of the screening. Just looking at the packed screening halls, you will know how popular this movie is.
In the ratings given by the two Cannes Film Festival journals on the second day, "Screen" gave it 2.5 points and "Hollywood Reporter" gave it 3.2 points. These are relatively high scores, and the Cannes Film Festival's rating was extremely high.
Film critics who rarely scored more than 3 points praised it without hesitation.
"An intriguing film, completely different from Kang's other work "Fang Fang". This time the director put his understanding of life into the film, forming a novel and creepy absurd world...
"——"Hollywood Reporter"
"Our life is a prison, and everyone is a victim..." - "Screen"
The show catalog does not represent the opinions of the jury, but this time it is definitely consistent with the majority of movie fans. "The Truman Show" was not difficult to shoot, and everyone can understand the deep meaning it expresses, but at the same time it can give the audience
A profound feeling.
The audiences who come to the Cannes Film Festival all love movies. "The Truman Show" satisfied their dual needs of watching movies and showing off, and it attracted widespread attention at Cannes this summer.
As for what the judges on the jury think, only the devil knows. In the past, there have been many films with good reputations and high reputations, but they didn't even get a chance to win at the Cannes Film Festival.
Fortunately, "The Truman Show" didn't win any awards at other international film festivals, otherwise it wouldn't even have any hope of winning at Cannes. r1152
