Hong Kong, Wong Tai Sin District, near Axe Mountain Road, Jiahe Studio.

"CUT!" Yan Hao waved his hand and announced: "I'll be here today and let's finish the work."

After packing up the equipment and props, the crew left one after another, and soon the set became empty.

Shu Qi took the shooting schedule and used a pen to check the task completed today, then said to Yan Hao: "According to the progress, there are two small scenes to be re-shooted. I think I can finish the shooting tomorrow, and add some shots the day after tomorrow, and it will almost be finished."

After Chen Chong refused Yan Hao's invitation, Shu Qi took the initiative, and the screenwriter served as the deputy director, helping Yan Hao film "Night Car". Now most of the filming of the film has been completed.

Yan Hao nodded and said, "It's better to have big companies. You need equipment and people to have hands-on hands. The conditions are much better than I did when I filmed "Jiali Coffee".

"After all, it's Jiahe." Shu Qi said after closing the schedule, "How do you think the effect of this movie will be after it was filmed?"

Yan Hao glanced at him and said, "Why, are you still worried about the script problem?"

"Exaggerated and inaccurate, deliberately vulgar, and lack of realism." Shu Qi smiled bitterly and said, "The comments A Chong wrote on my script have been in his mind. Do you think I can't worry?"

"You lack confidence." Yan Hao took out a box of cigarettes, gave Shu Qi a piece, and after lit it, he said, "A Chong is not a god, so what he said may not be right. Besides, have you changed all those places?"

"That's true, but..."

"Okay, there's nothing to worry about. Haven't you watched all the sample films? I feel that's good, there's no problem." Yan Hao photographed Shu Qi, who was worried about gains and losses, and said, "Let's go out for dinner, and I'll continue watching the sample films tonight."

Come out of the room, walk through a parking lot, and then bypass Jiahe's office building, and walk out of the set.

There are many sets near Diamond Mountain, with people coming and going, and the surrounding living facilities are very complete. The two of them walked along the street and were preparing to find a restaurant.

Before walking a few steps, Yan Hao called Shu Qi in front of a newsstand, picked up a magazine, and said, "Look, is this a new magazine that A Chong tinkered with?"

Shu Qi was stunned, turned around and picked up a magazine from the newsstand, and flipped it out twice.

He is an expert. As soon as he buys a magazine, he knows some general information: 16-open, double tape, color printing, moderate thickness, about 100 pages, the cost should be between 4 yuan and 4 yuan5 yuan. (Note 1)

When he turned back to the cover and looked at the pricing, he couldn't help but be stunned - it's only 5 yuan? The printing cost is more than 4 yuan, plus the delivery fee, editor's salary, and author's royalties. Such a price will definitely be a loss!

Yan Hao didn't notice Shu Qi's expression. He paid for two copies and said, "Let's go, look at it later, and find a place to have a meal first."

After finding a place, Shu Qi picked up the magazine and read the name: ""Movie Age", MOVIETIME, the name is good."

"Why use American English?" Yan Hao is a British-study. He frowned and opposed: "FILMTIME should be used, which has both movies and films, which makes it more sense to listen."

"American movies are developed, and Hollywood is almost synonymous with movies." Shu Qi doesn't care. After turning a few pages, he put the magazine on the table and sighed. "It's a world of difference. I used to feel that I did a good job. Today I found out that it was far behind. "The Biweekly Post-Movie" is in my hands, just like a small stall selling fish balls on the roadside. When it comes to A Chong, it becomes a treasure boat on the Wan Chai Sea."

"Don't belittle yourself," Yan Hao said while ordering dishes: "It's great to have money to do rich things and have no money to do poor jobs. With the conditions at that time, it would be great that you could make a magazine. A Chong spent money like soil and used money to spend the market, and you couldn't learn it."

"It's really a waste of money." Shu Qi nodded and said, "I estimated that the cost of this magazine is definitely more than 4 yuan, and the price is only 5 yuan, so I can't make any profit!"

"Do you think A Chong is the son of a wealthy family?"

"It shouldn't be." Shu Qi shook her head. Although they had met several times and had a good time, they did not ask about the details of their family. "How could the rich young man live in Kwun Tong? And judging from his food, clothing and expenses, he didn't look like a rich family."

"That's right." Yan Hao ordered good food, picked up his magazine, looked at the cover, then turned to one of the pages, and after reading the cover celebrity interview content, he said: "This Zhang Aijia is indeed full of spirituality. If you have the chance in the future, you will find her to cooperate with her."

"She is a descendant of a famous family, won the Golden Horse Award, and has good temperament and acting skills." Shu Qi echoed. He was quite resistant to celebrity paintings. After flipping through the magazines for a while, she said in a sour tone: "A magazine has so many photos, which is not much different from "Southern Movies". Her previous humanistic temperament is gone."

"How come there is no difference? "Southern Movie" only talks about Shaw Brothers. This magazine has movie information from various companies, and overseas information is also rich." Yan Hao picked up the booklet attached to the magazine and said, "And you see, the booklet attached is full of the latest information from major studios nowadays, including recruiting workers and equipment rentals. It is of great use for independent production companies."

Shu Qi was silent, looking at the exquisite magazine, and remembering the comments written by Shen Chong on his script. She felt depressed and couldn't help sighing. Although she was hungry, she had no appetite at all when facing the table of dishes...

...

Shen Chong naturally didn't know Shu Qi's feelings. At this moment, he was enjoying the wonderful style of mellow wine and beautiful women in the bar on the top floor of Wenhua Hotel in Central.

"Sister Zhang, this is the first issue of the magazine." Shen Chong handed over a magazine and said, "Look, are you satisfied with the cover photo?"

The first issue of "Movie Age" was filmed by Zhang Aijia and Shen Chong in person.

In this era, although cameras have become popular, they are far from being considered daily necessities. Therefore, when taking pictures, people will habitually pose and take photos after they are ready. The image they photographed is rigid and deliberate, lacking personality. In later generations, everyone has a mobile phone and takes photos at any time and anywhere, and their aesthetics are more inclined to be lifelike and show their personality.

Sylvia Chang is not a stunning beauty. What attracts her most is her pair of black and white eyes, which are extremely clear and have a casual and natural personality, like a lotus in clear water. She can’t take pictures of her beauty and charm.

So Shen Chong took it himself. As a movie lover, he couldn't afford to play movies in his previous life, so he could only play with micro-lanes and so on. After a few years of hard work, he had some experience in graphic photography.

After Chang Aijia agreed to be the cover star of the magazine's first issue, Shen Chong specially bought a lycra, accompanied by a bunch of unaffordable shots in his previous life, captured it on the set, and then selected one from hundreds of photos as the cover, which was surprisingly good.

"It's really good, better than the photos I used to be." Sang Ai-jia stared at the cover for a while, then put the magazine on the table, and said with a smile: "I don't even know I'm so pretty."

"Sister Zhang is born with beautiful temperament and noble temperament." Chen Chong gestured between Chang Aijia's face and the magazine with his hand, and smiled and said, "I am just a beautiful porter."

"You are really good at talking." Sylvia Chang laughed, her eyebrows and eyes curled.

Chen Chong felt refreshed when he saw it. He loved this bright smile with a happier feeling the most, and he forgot about his worries when he saw it.

"A Chong?" Seeing Chen Chong not speaking in a daze, Chang Aijia waved his hand in front of him, and then said, "If you have something to say, please tell me to such an expensive place. Wouldn't you just let me read the magazine cover?"

"Oh." Chen Chong came back to his senses and complained: "Sister Zhang, your attitude of doing business is too obvious to keep people from thousands of miles away. Can't I ask you to have a drink and chat?"

"Come on, you." Zhang Aijia turned her clear eyes, looked at Chen Chong up and down, and then exposed Chen Chong's bottom, "Who doesn't know in the crew? Boss Shen is a workaholic, how could he invite me to drink for no reason?"

"Okay, okay, then I'll just say it." Chen Chong shrugged helplessly and said, "Let's come to Sister Zhang, one for business and the other for private matters."

"Let's talk about official business first."

"Business is this magazine." Chen Chong reached out, picked up the magazine, faced Zhang Aijia with the cover, and said, "Sister Zhang, are the words "Movie Age" quite ugly?"

"I think it's okay." Zhang Aijia stroked her hair and said, "The standard art font is just a little bit dull."

"Sister Zhang's aesthetic view is indeed the same as mine." Chen Chong put down the magazine and said, "That's right. I heard that Sister Zhang's grandfather is a master of calligraphy. I want to ask Sister Zhang to do a favor and ask him to write a calligraphy for the magazine and write a letter."

"Just for this?" Zhang Aijia was puzzled and said, "My grandfather's calligraphy is very ordinary, why should he find him?"

"So, his grandfather is so sad when he hears it." Chen Chong turned his wine glass and said seriously: "Sister Zhang, I don't hide it from you. I asked your grandfather to write an inscription because I wanted to borrow his influence in the Taiwanese media industry."

"He has retired, what influence can he have?" said Chang Aijia: "Besides, he is not a movie. If you ask him for inscriptions in your movie magazine, wouldn't it be that Yuanmu is asking for fish?"

"I will naturally make sense for me to do this." Chen Chong smiled and didn't say it out loud, "Sister Zhang just helps me. It's easy to talk about the money and the car and horse fees."

"Boss Shen is rich enough to rival a country, and of course the cost of carriage cannot be reduced." Zhang Aijia picked up the cup, took a sip, and said, "I can help you, but you have to promise me a condition."

"Sister Zhang, please give me instructions."

"Give me one of all the photos you took."

"No problem." Chen Chong immediately picked up the bag and took out a thick kraft paper file bag from it, "Sister Zhang, please check it out."

"You have guessed that I want a photo?" Sylvia Chang took the file bag and elegantly opened the sealing line, asking, "How many photos have you taken so thick?"

"There are one or two hundred pictures."

After removing the sealing line, Chang Aijia took out the photos and looked at them one by one.

In these photos, there are fronts, sides, backs, smiles, frowns, contemplation, funny, jumping, and meditating... There is no repetition, various shapes, none of them are not good-looking, and they all have a unique beauty.

After reading dozens of pictures, Zhang Aijia felt warm in her heart, and tears were gushing out of her eyes.

Although she was cheerful on the surface, she was very inferior in her heart. She lost her father since childhood, lacked fatherly love, and had a beautiful appearance, but she could not compare with her mother, who was well-known and had a dignified manner. She dropped out of school at the age of 16 and entered the entertainment industry. She worked hard for nearly 10 years, but she was still half-really popular and had no strengths.

However, in these photos, Sylvia Chang saw a brilliant self, a beautiful self, a self that suits both movement and stillness, and a self that is full of confidence in every smile and frown. Through the pictures of the photos, she vaguely felt that there was someone who was silently paying attention to and appreciating her.

"Sister Zhang, what's wrong with you?"

"Nothing." Chang Aijia waved his hand, stuffed the photo into the file bag randomly, and said, "I felt a little dizzy after drinking some wine. Oh, by the way, what is the private matter you said?"

"I want to invite Sister Zhang to work in my company."

Chen Chong has no love killer, he can only use the simplest method. As the saying goes, the moon will be the first to get close to the water. When you are together every day, you will always have a chance to increase your feelings.

"Do you want to sign a contract with me?" Chang Aijia hesitated and said, "But I have agreed to Director Hu Jinquan to go to Korea to film "Legend of the Mountain" with him after "Crazy Job" ends."

"Sister Zhang misunderstood. I don't want to sign an actor contract with you." Chen Chong crossed his hands and leaned forward, saying, "Sister Zhang's talent should not be limited to performance, so I want to invite Sister Zhang to my company and be a producer."

"Producer?" Chang Aijia opened her eyes wide and her eyebrows raised, not hiding her surprise.

"Sister Zhang, your organizational planning ability and personal charm are the best among the people I have ever met." Chen Chong bewitched: "And as a producer, you can watch movies from different angles, which is also very helpful for changing careers and directors in the future."

"I can't do it." Chang Aijia shook her head, "I am the most afraid of trouble and I am very lazy."

"Sister Zhang, don't rush to agree." Chen Chong returned without any effort, and said, "Think about it first. After filming "Legend of the Mountain", I can give me a reply after I come back from South Korea. I will leave you a position."

Mandarin Hotel is a world-famous top luxury five-star hotel. The M-BAR bar where Shen Chong is located is one of the most popular fashionable nightlife places in Hong Kong, overlooking the night view of the entire Victoria Harbour.

With such beautiful scenery, it is really too unsightly to talk about work. Chen Chong changed the topic and the two chatted, but they each had surprises.

After Zhang Aijia's famous family, her mother was a socialite. She was naturally well-informed by her experiences and had excellent communication skills. She was very good at leading topics, but she was very knowledgeable, had a good memory, had a good memory, and was humorous jokes, and was funny. The two talked happily and felt like they were close friends. They felt that they met too late.

It was not until midnight that the two of them had fun. Chen Chong looked at his watch and said, "Sister Zhang, it's too late now, so don't go back. I'll go and book a room for you, right?"
