Chapter 119 0118【You Have Great Potential】
Hearing Shi Zhijian's call, the man was taken aback for a moment, then turned around and asked 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.
"That's right, I did call 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 pocket, took out a bronzing business card sprinkled with perfume, and said, "Hello, my name is Shi Zhijian!"
Business cards in this era are not so fancy, and most of them are carved out of the same mold. Many people just find a copy shop to get a small piece of thin paper in order to save money. On it, the company and name are marked in small characters. Wait, because the style is similar to the handwriting on many matchboxes, so it is also called "matchpaper business card" by many ghosts.
But Shi Zhijian's picture is very different. He specially found someone to design it according to his own ideas. Whether it is the border layout or the font, it is clear and beautiful, especially after it has been sprayed with fragrance, it is even more refreshing.
The moment the young man took the business card, he smelled a seductive scent and couldn't help sniffling. Looking at the exquisite business card, and Shi Zhijian's neat suit and full of style, he admired Shi Zhijian even more.
"So it's Mr. Shi. Are you in the instant noodle business?" The young man looked very happy holding his business card.
He is twenty years old this year, but he rarely receives such an exquisite business card. Most of the people around him are unknown, let alone business friends.
"Yes, I own a factory in Yuen Long." Shi Zhijian smiled.
"I don't know what the master asked me to do?"
"It's like this. I see that you have an extraordinary appearance and great potential to become a star, so I want to discuss something with you."
"Ah, that's right, but I don't have much time right now."
As soon as the young man finished speaking, he heard someone shouting not far away: "Zheng Chuangshi, what are you doing? Are you still working?"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Shi! I have something to do, so I can't chat with you!" The young man looked apologetic.
"It's okay, I don't know if you are free at noon, I can wait for you at the 'Moon Island Cafe' nearby!"
"This... We can't tell when we are filming!"
"It's okay, I'll wait for you! Come over if you have time!" Shi Zhijian looked very easy-going.
The young man smiled and said, "Okay, I will try my best!"
The young man left after speaking and went to the front.
Shi Zhijian rolled up his sleeves and looked at his watch: "There is 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 shouted 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 filming circle this year! Shaw Brothers has many more handsome boys than you, and letting you shoot "Black Fiend" is an opportunity for you!"
"I'm sorry director, I know I was wrong! Please calm down!"
"Calm your anger! Have you read the script?"
"Read!"
"Do you remember the lines?"
"remember!"
"OK! Let's start filming now!" The black-faced director clapped his hands in displeasure. He couldn't figure out why the higher-ups sent a young man to be the male lead of this film. He didn't have any acting skills. !
Zheng Chuangshi was scolded bloody, and hurried to his seat with lingering fear.
For him who dreams of being a star, he has been playing tricks here for a long time, and now he finally has the opportunity to be the leading actor, so of course he doesn't want to let it go.
Watching a movie is fun, but filming is very boring. Often an action or a line has to be reshot many times.
Zheng Chuangshixin made his debut not long ago, and he is completely a fledgling in the film industry. He was scolded by the director just now, and he inevitably felt a burden in his heart. Even before the filming started for a long time, he was scolded by the black-faced director again because his lines were not good enough.
"Fuck you! Does this mean you can recite lines?"
"I'm ashamed of you, you can't handle such a simple dialogue!"
"Zheng Chuangshi, you are eating shit!"
The black-faced director scolded harder and harder, and Zheng Chuangshi became more and more nervous, so that he kept making mistakes.
After finally waiting for the news, his whole body had already collapsed on the ground.
"I'm going to die, it turns out that filming is so hard!" Zheng Chuangshi smiled wryly, "Just Mr. Shi 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 in the window seat of 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 even more bored picking his fingernails, grinding his teeth, and looking outside from time to time.
"Mr. Shi, that Zheng Chuangshi probably won't come."
"Wait a little longer." Shi Zhijian crossed his legs, unfolded the newspaper and read it without looking up.
"No, we've been waiting for him for a long time, I really don't know what you like about him?"
"I like him so pretty!"
"You are also very handsome!" Hu Juncai looked around, many modern girls looked here from time to time, and the target was of course the handsome Shi Zhijian.
Shi Zhijian was wearing a suit and tie, and he even looked so handsome while reading the newspaper, which attracted the attention of all the girls, some of them boldly stepped forward to strike up a conversation, some pretended to borrow fire, some pretended to admit the wrong person, and some just directly He asked Shi Zhijian if he was a new male star recruited by Shaw Brothers, and if he could leave his contact information.
Shi Zhijian declined them one by one, which made Hu Juncai envious.
"Hey, if I were as handsome as you, Mr. Shi, I wouldn't feel bored sitting here!" Hu Juncai said sourly, "At least invite a beautiful woman to drink coffee together, chat about literature, and talk about life!"
Just when Hu Juncai was talking nonsense, he saw the young man Zheng Chuangshi push open the revolving door of the coffee shop and come in from outside anxiously.
Shi Zhijian smiled slightly, put down his crossed legs, and folded the newspaper in his hand, "There are no beauties, but there are pretty boys, it's the same!"
...
"Sorry, I'm late!" Zheng Chuangshi hurriedly apologized when he saw Shi Zhijian.
"It's okay, we didn't wait long." Shi Zhijian stood up and smiled.
Hu Juncai also got up, "Yeah, I just drank seven or eight cups of coffee, and now my stomach is so full that I don't even have to eat lunch!"
Zheng Chuangshi looked embarrassed.
Shi Zhijian glared at Hu Juncai, and Hu Juncai immediately shut up.
"Please sit down! What do you want to use?" Shi Zhijian asked Zheng Chuangshi.
Zheng Chuangshi originally wanted to talk about coffee, but when he reached his mouth, he said, "Orange juice is ready."
Shi Zhijian smiled slightly, and after inviting Zheng Chuangshi to sit down, pop! He snapped his fingers at the waiter beautifully, "Excuse me, here is a cup of coffee!" Turning around, he said to Zheng Chuangshi: "Seeing how hard you are filming, why don't you drink coffee, it can refresh you!"
"Thank you!" Zheng Chuangshi felt that Mr. Shi was very considerate.
