Zeng Bolin looked at his watch, walked up to Kang Jianfei and reminded: "Boss, the performance of the Shaolin Warrior Monks is about to start, and there are still 45 minutes left." ”

"I see." Kang Jianfei replied casually, he was still holding a sleeping baby boy in his arms, his fingers swept lightly on the baby's blown-up face, the little baby was quite dissatisfied with his mouth, and a lot of milk came out of the corners of his mouth.

"Okay, you go and help you, don't wake An An up again." With a motherly smile on her face, Zhao Yazhi snatched the child from Kang Jianfei's arms.

Zhao Yazhi and his son have been discharged from the hospital for two days, and the child's name is not yet available, but Zhao Yazhi has already taken it upon himself to give his son a milk name called "An An", hoping that his son can grow up safely.

"Then I'll go first." Kang Jianfei kissed Zhao Yazhi's forehead.

"Go ahead." Zhao Yazhi said with a smile, her attention was now completely turned to her son.

It only took half an hour from Zhao Yazhi's house to the Taiping Theater, and there were more than 2,000 seats in the theater, and Kang Jian was almost full when he came.

Since Jin Yong's martial arts novels became popular, the Shaolin Temple, which often appears in novels, is also widely known, and in the streets and alleys of Hong Kong, even Aunt Abel knows that there is a Shaolin Temple in He/Nan.

The news that the abbot of Shaolin Temple personally led a team to Hong Kong for religious exchanges has appeared frequently in Hong Kong newspapers in the past few days, and people are not concerned about what Buddhist exchanges, but about the performance of the Shaolin warrior monk team.

For decades, everyone has watched Shaolin Kung Fu in novels and films, and now the opportunity to witness a live-action performance is even more appealing than many singers' concerts.

The warrior monks of the Shaolin Temple performed for three consecutive nights. Tonight's first session invited a lot of bright people, and even the Governor of Hong Kong, Wilson discussed attending. In addition, there are kung fu stars such as Hong Jinbao, Cheng Long, Jet Li, Liu Jialiang, Hui Yinghong, etc.

Kang Jianfei's position is in the first row, and two seats apart are the Hong Kong Governor Wilson. The positions of Hong Jinbao and Cheng Long are not far away.

In addition to celebrities, the abbots of Hong Kong's Man Wu Temple, Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, Po Lam Zen Temple and other temples also came to attend tonight's warrior monk performance.

"Boss, would you like to go and say hello to the Governor?" Zeng Bolin leaned into Kang Jianfei's ear and reminded in a low voice.

Kang Jianfei didn't speak, just walked towards Wei Yixin with a smile, and waited for the other party to notice him, then stretched out his hand with a smile: "Hello Mr. Hong Kong Governor." ”

"It's Mr. Kang, I've always wanted to meet you." Wilson spoke Cantonese very slippery. This old guy came to Hong Kong 28 years ago to learn Chinese. After that, he went to Beijing to work and was able to communicate in Mandarin and Cantonese.

Kang Jianfei and Wilson had met before, and that was when the former governor of Hong Kong was alive, but the two had little communication at that time.

After Kang Jianfei shook hands with the Hong Kong Governor, he said with a smile: "Mr. Wilson is a rare sight to see. ”

Monk Yongxin is also a second person, and when he saw Kang Jianfei chatting with the Hong Kong governor, he immediately ran over to join in the fun, and echoed: "Yes." The poor monk was deeply honored that he was able to take time out of his busy schedule to watch the Shaolin warrior monk perform. ”

Seeing that Kang Jianfei and Monk Yongxin were standing very close and seemed to have a good relationship, Wei Yixin asked, "Do Mr. Kang and Mr. Yongxin know each other?" ”

Monk Yongxin said: "Shaolin Temple can come to Hong Kong for exchanges. I also have to help Mr. Kang because of it. ”

"I'm just making a match." Kang Jianfei said with a smile.

Kang Jianfei's help is not only this, a few years ago, the Shaolin Temple was still a ruined wall, and the reconstruction and restoration of the temple was all Kang Jianfei's money. Even Yongxin now brings a team of warrior monks from Hong Kong. At least half of them are members of Hu Juncai's martial arts school, and they belong to out-and-out bald fake monks.

If there is no Kang Jianfei's capital investment. Monk Yongxin is now estimated to be sorting out Shaolin classics in the pile of ancient papers, and he will have to wait at least a year or two before he can establish a warrior monk group.

Kang Jianfei chatted with Wei Yixin for a few words. The two talked about some of their experiences in Beijing, and chatted about Shaolin kung fu for a while, before Kang Jianfei returned to his seat.

"Mr. Kang." Seeing Kang Jian flying over, Jet Li nodded at him.

"Hmm." Kang Jianfei also nodded.

Hong Jinbao glanced sideways at Kang Jianfei, then looked back at the stage again, and didn't talk to Cheng Long beside him.

There was no Kang Jianfei's movie released in this year's summer file, but there was also no movie released by Hong Jinbao. Hong Jinbao's performance last year was very average, and his career was obviously going downhill, while Cheng Long was a success, and the relationship between his brothers and sisters also appeared suspicious.

Because it was a team of warrior monks, Monk Yongxin sent invitations to famous kung fu stars in Hong Kong, as well as many martial artists. Cheng Long and Hong Jinbao are both here for the name of Shaolin Temple, and they have little to do with Kang Jianfei, the two film companies are in a competitive relationship, if both parties are actors, they can still be friends in private, but Kang Jianfei is the boss of DreamWorks, and it is inconvenient for Hong Jinbao and Cheng Long to have more contact with Kang Jianfei.

As soon as the lights in the auditorium of the theater were dark, the master of ceremonies ran out to say a few words, followed by a burst of drumming, and all the members of the warrior monks came out with sticks and began to dance the Shaolin stick formation.

"Hah!"

The warrior monks shouted in unison, picked up a stick curtain and smashed it on the floor of the stage, and tonight's martial arts performance officially began.

Liu Jialiang, as the boss of the Liu family's class, came with several brothers today, and after only watching a few tricks at the moment, he shook his head in disappointment. He was a southern kung fu from a hard bridge and a hard horse, and when he grew up, he also practiced martial arts of various schools, and his basic skills were extremely solid, and he could see at a glance that at least one-third of the members of this so-called Shaolin warrior monk team were not good at basic skills.

I didn't look at it, this is the consensus of all the insiders present, after all, the Shaolin warrior monk team has only been formed for a few years, and many people have only become monks halfway after watching "Shaolin Temple".

Let Shaolin Temple develop for another ten years, and then it will be more powerful, at least it will not let insiders see jokes.

Insiders watch the doorway, laymen watch the lively, but most of the audience thinks that the warrior monks play well, and feel that the Shaolin Temple is worthy of its name.

After that, there are still wonderful things about the personal routine performance, several of the warrior monks are recruited from martial arts teams from all over the country, and they are currently the coach of Hu Juncai's Shaolin Martial Arts School, and this trip has also been mixed into the warrior monk team of the Shaolin Temple, anyway, no one knows the details of shaving their heads.

These people are very slick, especially the routines are extremely pleasing to the eye, even Liu Jialiang and other martial artists can't help but applaud sincerely, and finally win back some face for the Shaolin warrior monk team.

After the performance, the invited celebrities took photos with the warrior monks, Kang Jianfei walked to the side of the monk Yongxin and said: "Master, if you lead the team out for martial arts exchanges next time, those who have only practiced for two or three years will not come, and all of them will be replaced by coaches of the martial arts school." ”

Monk Yongxin also practiced boxing, but he only knew some fur kung fu, and was stunned for a moment and asked, "Is there a problem with tonight's performance?" ”

Kang Jianfei said: "It's just a small problem, but Hong Kong people's expectations for Shaolin Kung Fu are too high, and tonight's performance has disappointed the martial arts practitioners here." ”

"Oh." Monk Yongxin nodded, in his eyes, what Kang Jianfei said was really just a small problem. He came to Hong Kong to promote the Shaolin Temple, as long as the warrior monk performance can fool ordinary people, and those practitioners can't be okay to demolish him, it doesn't matter if they are disappointed or not.

The Shaolin warrior monk performance was performed in the Taiping Theater for five consecutive days, and the attendance rate reached more than 9% every night, which was really more popular than the star's concert.

Some newspapers in Hong Kong also reported on this, which caused a Shaolin Kung Fu craze in a short period of time, resulting in a considerable increase in Hong Kong tourists going to the mainland in the second half of the year.

followed by the release of "Red Sorghum", which exploded at the box office in the mainland and won an international award in Berlin, and the publicity was still very good.

However, ordinary Hong Kong audiences really don't like this style, and the Oriental Cinema Line initially lined up 10 theaters for two shows a day, and the average attendance rate on the first day was 73%, which is a very good number. However, most of the viewers who have watched "Red Sorghum" feel that they have been pit by publicity, and the reputation of "Red Sorghum" in the audience has been declining, and the average attendance rate on the second day has fallen below 5%.

After only 6 days of release, "Red Sorghum" was forced to be released in Oriental Cinemas, with a box office of 2.14 million, which is also thanks to those audiences who were deceived by publicity on the first day.

Although it failed at the box office, "Red Sorghum" received high praise from critics, and was typically not acclaimed. There is also the fact that the heroes and heroines Jiang Wen and Gong Li are familiar to many Hong Kong fans, but as for the director of the movie, Lao Mouzi, Hong Kong people have no impression at all.

Not long after the painting of "Red Sorghum" was completed, there was news that its heroine Gong Li will star in Kang Jianfei's next film, and her partner is Zhou Xingchi, who has become a star. (To be continued......)
