The man was startled when he heard Shi Zhijian's cry, then turned around and said in surprise: "Sir, are you calling me?"
Shi Zhijian smiled and walked forward quickly.
Hu Juncai didn't understand what happened, so he hurriedly followed him.
"Yes, I was indeed calling you just now." Shi Zhijian said, "Are you an actor here?"
"Uh, this..." The young man hesitated.
Shi Zhijian smiled and took out the business card holder from his arms, took out a gold-gilded business card sprinkled with perfume and said, "Hello, my name is Shi Zhijian!"
Business cards in this era were not so fancy, and most of them were carved from the same mold. In order to save money, many people just went to a printing shop to get a small piece of thin paper, with the company and name written on it in very small characters.
Wait, because the style is similar to the writing on many matchboxes, it is also nicknamed "match paper business card" by many ghosts.
But this one by Shi Zhijian is very different. He specially found someone to design it according to his own ideas. Both the border layout and the font are clear and beautiful. Especially, it has been sprayed with fragrance, which is even more refreshing.
The moment the young man took the business card, he smelled an alluring fragrance and couldn't help but twitch his nose. Looking at the exquisite and artistic business card, and Shi Zhijian himself in a neat suit and full of style, he was even more impressed by Shi Zhijian.
"It turns out to be Mr. Shi. Are you in the instant noodle business?" The young man looked very happy while holding his business card.
He is twenty years old this year, but he rarely receives such exquisite business cards. Most of the people around him are unknown people, let alone business friends.
"Yes, I have a factory in Yuen Long." Shi Zhijian said with a smile.
"I wonder why sir called me for something?"
"It's like this. I see that you are extraordinary and have the potential to be a star, so I want to discuss something with you."
"Ah, that's it, but I don't have much time now."
As soon as the young man finished speaking, he heard someone shouting not far away: "Zheng Chuangshi, what are you doing? Are you going to start work yet?"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Shi! I have to do something, so I can't talk to you anymore!" The young man looked apologetic.
"It's okay. I wonder if you are free at noon. I can wait for you at the nearby 'Moon Island Cafe'!"
"Well...we can't tell the time of filming!"
"It's okay, I'll wait for you! Come over if you have time!" Shi Zhijian seemed very easy-going.
The young man smiled and said, "Okay, I'll try my best!"
After the young man finished speaking, he left and went to the front.
Shi Zhijian rolled up his sleeves and looked at his watch: "There's still more than an hour until noon, Juncai, let's drink coffee first!"
…
Not far away, a young man named "Zheng Chuangshi" trotted over, and the black-faced director who yelled at him said angrily: "What the hell are you doing?! Do you really think you are a big star? Don't forget, you only entered the industry this year to film!"
There are many more handsome boys from Shaw Brothers who are better-looking than you, so letting you film "Dark Star" is giving you a chance!"
"I'm sorry, director, I know I was wrong! Please calm down!"
"Calm down, you idiot! Have you read the script?"
"Read!"
"Do you remember the lines?"
"remember!"
"OK! Let's start shooting now!" The black-faced director clapped his hands in displeasure. He couldn't figure out why the higher-ups wanted to put a stupid young man as the leading actor in this movie. He had no acting skills at all and was thrown off the street.
!
Zheng Chuangshi was scolded so badly that he hurriedly ran to his seat with lingering fear.
For him who has dreams of becoming a star, he has been playing small roles here for a long time, and now he finally has the opportunity to be the leading actor, and of course he is not willing to let it go.
Watching movies is fun, but filming is very boring. Often an action or a line has to be reshot many times.
Zheng Chuangshi had just debuted, and he was completely new to the film industry. He was scolded by the director just now, which inevitably made him feel burdened. As a result, not long after filming started, he was scolded again by a black-faced director because his lines were not up to par.
"I'm going to beat you up! Does this mean you know how to recite lines?"
"I'm going to shit on you, you can't even handle such a simple dialogue!"
"Zheng Chuangshi, you eat shit!"
The black-faced director scolded him more and more harshly, and Zheng Chuangshi became more and more nervous, causing him to make constant mistakes.
By the time he finally got the news, he had collapsed on the ground.
"I'm going to die, it turns out that filming is so hard!" Zheng Chuangshi smiled bitterly, "This Mr. Shi even said that I have the potential to be a star. Could it be that he knows how to read faces?"
…
Near Shaw Brothers Studios.
Moon Island Cafe.
Shi Zhijian and Hu Juncai had been sitting by the window in the coffee shop for more than an hour, drinking seven or eight cups of coffee. Even the newspaper in Shi Zhijian's hand was almost torn. Hu Juncai was picking at his fingernails and grinding his teeth out of boredom.
Look outside from time to time.
"Mr. Shi, I'm afraid that Zheng Chuangshi won't come."
"Wait a little longer." Shi Zhijian crossed his legs, unfolded the newspaper and read without raising his head.
"No, we have been waiting for him for a long time. I really don't know what you like about him?"
"Zhongyi, he is quite handsome!"
"You are also very handsome!" Hu Juncai looked around. Many modern girls looked over here from time to time. The target was of course the handsome Shi Zhijian.
Shi Zhijian was wearing a suit and tie, and he looked so handsome even while reading a newspaper, which attracted the attention of the girls. Some of them had the courage to come forward and strike up a conversation, some pretended to be asking for help, some pretended to admit they were mistaken, and some simply went straight to it.
He asked if Shi Zhijian was a new male star recruited by Shaw Brothers and if he could leave his contact information.
Shi Zhijian declined one by one, which made Hu Juncai envious.
"Hey, if I were as handsome as you, Mr. Shi, I wouldn't be bored sitting here!" Hu Juncai said bitterly, "At least I invite a beautiful woman to drink coffee with us and talk about literature and life!"
Just when Hu Juncai was making nonsense, he saw the young man Zheng Chuangshi pushing open the revolving door of the coffee shop and coming in from the outside with an anxious expression.
Shi Zhijian smiled slightly, put down his crossed legs, and folded the newspaper in his hand, "If there are no beauties, but there are handsome boys, it's the same!"
…
"Sorry, I'm late!" Zheng Chuangshi apologized hurriedly as soon as he saw Shi Zhijian.
"It's okay, we actually didn't wait long." Shi Zhijian stood up and said with a smile.
Hu Juncai also stood up, "Yeah, I just drank seven or eight cups of coffee, and now my stomach is bloated. I don't even need to eat lunch!"
Zheng Chuangshi looked embarrassed.
Shi Zhijian glared at Hu Juncai, who immediately shut up.
"Please sit down! What do you want to use?" Shi Zhijian asked Zheng Chuangshi.
Zheng Chuangshi originally wanted to say coffee, but when it came to his mouth, he said: "Orange juice is ready."
Shi Zhijian smiled slightly and invited Zheng Chuangshi to sit down. Bang! He snapped his fingers at the waiter and said, "Excuse me, here's a cup of coffee!" He turned around and said to Zheng Chuangshi, "I see you're having a hard time filming, so you might as well drink some coffee to refresh yourself."
!”
"Thank you!" Zheng Chuangshi felt that Mr. Shi was very considerate.
