Have you found that the entertainment industry has become the exclusive playground for the children of rich families.
For example, the prince who is rich and oily, and the private service is basically 100,000 yuan;
Buy a kite to choose LV's Zhou Zhennan;
Worth over 100 million, Lin Fengjiao and Jackie Chan's nephew Dong Youlin;

The immortal sister Liu Yifei, her biological father is a first-class diplomat of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in France, and her godfather is the rich man Chen Jinfei.
There is also Ma Boqian, who has been a commentator in "China Rap Summit Showdown" for the past two days.
His house has been hotly searched, and Ma Boqian's father is a national treasure designer Ma Qingyun.
Qingyun Ma is the Dean of the School of Architecture at the University of Southern California, the Design Director of the American Institute of Architects, the Architectural Consultant of the Los Angeles City, the Consultant of the Disney Shanghai Project, and the Architectural Planner of the Beijing Olympic Games.
Sanlitun, Beijing, he designed;
798 Art Melting Pot, he designed;
Shanghai Plaza 66, also designed by him...
Don't worry, there is.
Ma Boqian's mother is also a designer, a high-quality student in the Department of Architecture of Tsinghua University, and later studied in the United States.
Ma Boqian's grandfather was the first coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team, well... It is Lang Ping's teacher in the movie "Win the Championship" - Li Ange.
However, none of them are as good as the protagonist we are going to talk about today.
The protagonist once wrote an article called "Old money, New money" in his own handwriting, and he said this:
"Old Money's money is spent in unseen places;
New Money's money is spent where it's visible.
Old Money may drink 1 pound of 20,000 yuan of tea a day, and it is not particularly how it feels;
New Money may usually drink 1 pound of tea for 200 yuan, but when guests come, drink 200,000 yuan and 1 pound of tea. ”
"Wealth is a game for old money and a weapon for new money."
He is Cai Kangyong, the noble prince of the old Qian family.
His body has always retained the sense of conservatism of the old money family, but the declining family background also reminds him of the importance of making money.
Cai Kangyong, warm and indifferent, worldly and arrogant.
One
On January 27, 1949, Chinese New Year's Eve night, in the sea area of Zhoushan, Zhejiang.
A luxury passenger ship "Taiping Ship" sailing from Shanghai to Keelung was hit and sunk by another cargo ship because of overloading and dark night driving without lights...
Cai Kangyong's father, Cai Tianduo, was one of the owners of the Taiping Ship.
In collision with it was Rong Yiren's brother Rong Hongyuan's cargo ship Jianyuan.
It was a chaotic world, and the rich people on the beach and the top officers of the Kuomintang were all looking for ways to escape.
When they learned that the "Taiping Ship" was about to set sail, they were anxious like ants on a hot pot, many people begged for tickets, bloody corpses were all over the docks, and the people who finally boarded the ship were either rich or expensive.
On that cold and windy night, the "Taiping Wheel" carried a full boat of people to a hopeful tomorrow, but was buried at the bottom of the sea when it was about to reach its destination.
The ship was full of more than 1,000 people, more than 900 people were killed, and too many celebrities among the passengers killed.
For example, the family of Qiu Yangjun, the chairman of Shanxi Province at that time, xu Zhen, the chairman of Liaoning Province, Yu Jiyu, a friend of Chiang Ching-kuo, Yuan Jiayi, the grandson of Yuan Shikai, Deng Lianxi, editor-in-chief of "Time and Tide", Wu Bochao, president of the Nanjing National Conservatory of Music, as well as the father of Detective Li Changyu, the father of Gong Ruxin, and so on.
Miraculously, 36 people survived, including Cai Tianduo.
As the old saying goes: If you don't die, you will be blessed.
I don't know how Cai Tianduo would evaluate this sentence, because the insurance company insured after the "Taiping Wheel" shipwreck immediately announced its bankruptcy, and all the compensation liabilities fell on Cai Tianduo.
Cai Tianduo's father was the owner of the Shanghai Water Supply Company.
In an era when many people had never even seen a car, the Cai family had 7 cars, and the valuable antique calligraphy paintings at home were full of pits and valleys.
In He Jiong's words, other people's homes are houses, and the Cai family is the Cai mansion.
In the abundant material conditions, Cai Tianduo had no worries about food and clothing, and he could also talk about pampering and pampering.
Cai Tianduo himself is not a stupid disciple, he is a high-achieving student who graduated from the law department of Fudan University.
At that time, many celebrities' lawsuits pointed at him.
In Shanghai, Cai Tianduo commutes to and from work in imported convertibles, and traffic police throughout Shanghai know his car.
Cai Tianduo's car came over, and even the red light at the intersection would turn the green light for him.
An authentic privileged class.
Unfortunately, the sudden shipwreck overturned Cai Tianduo's life overnight.
The Cai family's scattered family wealth is not enough to compensate.
In one lawsuit after another, the Cai family became a joke on the beach.
In order to make a living, Cai Tianduo went to Taiwan.
Two
The skinny camels are bigger than the horses, and the Cai family is in decline in Shanghai, but in Taiwan they are still the old money people who know life best.
Cai Tianduo's wife is also a full-fledged Shanghai miss, the family is always supported by mahjong, and the card friends are the wives of high-level Kuomintang officers.
Cai Tianduo was born when Cai Kangyong was 51 years old, he was the old Laizi of his parents, Cai Kangyong said: "They treat me as a pet." ”
In Cai Kangyong's memory, her mother got up at 12 o'clock every day to wash her hair and make her hair, always wore cheongsam high heels, and her makeup was perfect.
When she was in a good mood, she drew her own paper pattern to design clothes, the neckline of the tulle pajamas should be matched with fur, and the slippers worn at home were sandwiched with peacock feathers.
He had never seen his mother without makeup, and at the peak of the family there were six servants, the dessert after school was abalone, the mahjong was studded with diamonds, and the poker game lasted until three or four o'clock in the night, and the crowd was boiling.
But Cai Kangyong was not interested in anything.
He later concluded that perhaps it was "like living a father's second-hand life."
For example, when Cai Tianduo took Cai Kangyong to see Peking Opera, and saw Sun Wukong flipping down from three tables, cai Kangyong clapped his hands excitedly, and Cai Tianduo would say:
"Shanghainese people are all turned over from five tables."
For example, when going to the buffet, Cai Tianduo would sigh again: "In Shanghai, only beggars line up to eat with plates." ”
Cai Kangyong read the book, and his father would come over to take a look at it and then say, "Only the books before the Qing Dynasty are good books." ”
Under the influence of his father, Cai Kangyong prematurely learned what is called "tasteless".
Cai KangYongzhi is probably out of office for this reason.
When he was in school, Cai Kangyong was keen to make a splash.
He is not tall and ordinary, so he has to take the IQ route, and his academic performance is certain, and he often participates in speech competitions.
Good eloquence was practiced at that time.
After Cai Kangyong finished high school, Cai Tianduo said: "Brother, you must study for a master's degree, you must go to the best university in the United States." ”
The tone sounds like an order, you just go and cook it.
And Cai Tianduo stipulates: it is not allowed to serve the plate.
Xiaobian carefully recalled that after writing so many giants, it seems that no child of the old money family will work and study.
Only li zekai, a new upstart class, the fathers always keep vigilant and hope that the children will be trained more fiercely.
The old money family, paying attention to a light word, too radical, too enthusiastic and too excited, are all inferior.
Cai Kangyong's rebellion began in college.
He applied to the film department of UCLA, and his father felt that his face was disgraceful, but he could not help him.
Since then, Cai Kangyong has stepped into the entertainment circle with half a foot.
Three
Cai Kangyong went to the film department, and his father Cai Tianduo asked an old friend to send him.
Who are my old friends?
Hu Jinquan, a well-known director in Hong Kong, is also one of the earliest world-renowned directors in the Chinese circle.
In 1986, when Cai Kangyong was studying in Los Angeles, the novelist Bai Xianyong wrote to him and asked him to help read a script.
The screenplay of the film is adapted from "Who Immortals", also the work of Bai Xianyong, telling the story of a family girl whose fate changes as her parents die in the Taiping Shipwreck.
Bai Xianyong took out a lot of information to Cai Kangyong, Cai Kangyong waved his hand, "no need", Bai Xianyong did not understand, Cai Kangyong calmly said, "The Taiping wheel is my family." ”
Bai Xianyong was stunned, "No wonder they asked me to find you." ”
After Graduating from Tsai Kangyong University, his father's friend Zhou Naizhong introduced him to director Xu Anhua and made him the planning and production manager of "Ketu Autumn Hate".
He was later signed by Sir Run Run Shaw's wife, Fong Yi Wah, to The Shaw Film Company in Hong Kong.
"Kung Fu Emperor Fang Shiyu" is one of the works he participated in the screenwriting.
At least half of the road to Cai Kangyong's fame was paved by Cai Tianduo.
The other half, relying on Cai Kangyong himself.
It is immoral to write about Cai Kangyong and bypass "Zhongtian Yijie" and "Kangxi Lai".
The early Kangxi Dynasty was also inseparable from Cai Kangyong's family background.
Bigwigs from all walks of life, even heavyweight politicians such as Ma Ying-jeou, Lu Moulian and Wu Boxiong, have relied on the Tsai family's connections.
After the program was done smoothly, Cai Kangyong gradually found his own strengths.
When interviewing Jackie Chan, Cai Kangyong just said "I'm tired of filming", turned his head, and Jackie Chan was already crying loudly.
Visiting Shu Qi, he asked: "Are you happy?" ”
Shu Qi's eyes were actually red.
Cai Kangyong has an aura that makes you want to dig out your heart and lungs, and it seems that you can't hide anything from him and you don't want to hide from him.
Ma Dong said, "Kang Yongge has a vicious heart! ”
He said earlier in an interview that in case his questions in the interview were bypassed by the other party, that would be it
"Ask every three minutes, ask again every three minutes, ask me and the guests laughed out loud, saying that this person is also too annoying!" 」
Relying on this gentle and warm atmosphere and sharp questions, coupled with Xiao S's gags, how many celebrities and celebrities spat bitterly in Kangxi and talked about their hearts.
Outside of Kangxi, Cai Kangyong tried making shoes.
He made a high-heeled shoe brand, personally designed and promoted it, and also sponsored Xie Na to make wedding shoes, and the main shoes looked like this.
American magazine giant Condéner entered Taiwan and launched Chinese editions of magazines such as Vogue and GQ in Taiwan.
The boss saw the pearl and approached Cai Kangyong and asked him to be the first editor-in-chief of GQ Taiwan.
Cai Kangyong goes to work one day a week, and his job is to pick out photos. He himself teased that he was really the most comfortable editor-in-chief.
Cai Kangyong loves art, he also loves to watch various art exhibitions, and from time to time, he also wants to engage in creation.
The work is witty.
Cai Kangyong has always had a dream of directing, he studied the directing department when he was a student, and after graduation, he also did film-related work.
When Ang Lee became famous, he asked himself fiercely, "Why don't you stick with it anymore!" ”
After Kangxi stopped broadcasting, he tried to be a director again, tailoring "Eat Eat Love" for his favorite woman Xiao S, with a Douban score of 5.2.
Some people say that the big directors all have their own tyrant temperament, and Cai Kangyong is too thoughtful and inappropriate.
Thinking about it carefully, Cai Kangyong's "The Way of Speaking" is very convincing, and he is really good at talking.
Cai Kangyong did the best:
Presided over Kangxi, treating bagua as a serious science;
Participate in the strange saying, express your own point of view, try to influence and persuade a part of the people;
The book is a comprehensive display and exposition of Cai Kangyong's personal experience and views.
What Cai Kangyong admires most is his upbringing.
In one episode of "Kangxi Is Coming", Xiao S's high heels were kicked far away, and Cai Kangyong ran to pick up the shoes and crouched on the ground to help her put them on.
On the last night, this scene was repeated.
S blushed and said, "The only person in my life who has helped me put on my shoes is you, except for my mother." ”
Cai Kangyong said: "When they praised me for being very good to you, in fact, I thought it was just what a boy should do for a girl. ”
Cai Kangyong's only request for the program producer:
The recording does not interrupt the guests to joke about vulnerable groups such as the disabled, but it must be cut cleanly when editing.
These two things happen to be the greatest wealth left to him by his family background.
The house where Tsai Kangyong now lives in Taipei is not luxurious.
He and his boyfriend Liu Kunlong have been working together for nearly thirty years.
It is said that Cai Kangyong's family has a study where there are no guests.
According to Cai Kangyong's dream, the house is the wallpaper of the big man's naked body, and one of the men is Liu Kunlong almost completely naked on the wallpaper.
Two years ago, the reporter interviewed Cai Kangyong and asked him what gifts he still wanted from God in this life.
Cai Kangyong said: "Sudden death, the kind without warning." ”
This answer is very Cai Kangyong.
