"Ghost Horse Wisdom and Many Stars" has been completed, from Jiang Ran finding Tsui Hark to the completion of the movie, a month and a half has passed. At the finale banquet in the evening, after Jiang Ran thanked the staff in front of and behind the scenes of the whole crew, he specially found Dai Yue'e, "Sister Dai, after your movie, do you have any work arrangements in the near future?"

Dai Yue'e looked at Jiang Ran and said with a smile: "Why does the big boss have a job for me to do, I'm quite idle in wireless now, if Ah Ran has a job opportunity, I will definitely have no problem, I am on call." ”

"I'm thinking about publishing a fashion magazine, and I want to ask Sister Dai to help shoot the magazine, but the monthly magazine I planned is now just starting to be planned, so I won't pay you. But for Sister Dai, this is also a way to increase your popularity, if the magazine buys well, you can also increase exposure, of course, I do this mainly to promote the movie. ”

Dai Yue'e looked at Jiang Ran and asked, "This magazine hasn't started yet, right?

Jiang Ran smiled: "You don't have to worry about this, I will get it done as soon as possible, before the movie is released, the magazine will definitely be published." ”

"Then I'm fine, Ah Ran, you can call me when you're ready. ”

After Jiang Ran said goodbye to Dai Yue'e, he went to find the artist in the crew, the crew artist is Zhang Shuping, Zhang Shuping is not the originator of the art director in Hong Kong later, nor does he have the reputation of sitting in the top spot in the industry for a long time in later generations. However, through the cooperation of "Ghost Horse Wisdom and Multi-star", Jiang Ran knows that Zhang Shuping may not have reached the level of a grandmaster now, but he already has a lot of ideas and strength in art direction.

Jiang Ran has the vision of the future, but he does not have the ability to complete a fashion magazine independently, so he wants to ask Zhang Shuping for help.

"Ah Ran, come and have a drink!"

"Mr. Jiang, I toast you. ”

When the people at this table saw Jiang Then, they talked about persuading them to drink, Jiang Ran drank a glass with everyone and said to Zhang Shuping: "Brother Ping, I have something to do with you, let's talk over there?"

"Okay, what does Ah Ran have to take care of me?" asked Zhang Shuping as he got up.

Jiang Ran took Zhang Shuping to the rest area, asked someone to make two cups of coffee, and sat down next to Zhang Shuping.

"Brother Ping, I want to start a fashion magazine, and I want you to come and help me. Jiang Ran said to Zhang Shuping very directly.

Zhang Shuping felt a little unable to keep up with Jiang Ran's rhythm, as far as he knew, Jiang Ran started his business last year, opened a video store, and began to invest in the first movie this year, and now the movie has just been completed and has not yet been produced and released, Jiang Ran found himself and said that he needed to start a fashion magazine.

"Ah Ran, how did you come up with the idea of starting a fashion magazine?" Zhang Shuping asked curiously, putting aside the distractions in his mind.

Jiang Ran faced Zhang Shuping's question, took a sip of coffee and said: "I didn't have this idea at first, when the movie was filmed, I thought about how to promote our movie, and then I let people find all the film promotion channels, in the process, I found that now Hong Kong magazines are either literary serious, or comprehensive, and then there are some pornographic magazines, there are very few majors in fashion magazines, and many of them follow the trend of Europe and the United States." But I think there is a difference between Orientals and Westerners, both in terms of our body and culture, so I wanted to create a magazine that reflects the charm of our Orientals. ”

Zhang Shuping was completely stunned, he didn't expect Jiang Ran to have this kind of thought, but he was really moved, and asked: "Ah Ran's idea is very good, what do you want me to do?"

Jiang Ran said: "Then I will thank Brother Ping first, I will set up a position of art editor-in-chief in the magazine, and when the time comes, please give Brother Ping, I can only give you an annual salary of 100,000 yuan for the time being, of course, if the magazine is good, I will give dividends and even dry shares." ”

After the finale banquet, Jiang Ran did not follow the later stage of the film, and while he was dealing with the work left in the company for more than a month, he began to recruit various people to form a film company and a magazine. For the time being, the film company is just a shell company, with only one finance, one producer, one editor, and other distribution and publicity all done by the original company's people; the magazine does not need a few people at the beginning, just an editor, a few salesmen, and more than a dozen other people.

A week later, Jiang Ran's fashion magazine was established, named "Oriental Charm", temporarily set as a monthly magazine, and the magazine also specially poached a female editor Zhen Yiyi in "Silver World", and she will be the main manager of the whole magazine in the future.

The inaugural issue of "Oriental Charm" takes the theme of Oriental feminine charm as the theme, which is divided into two series: cheongsam beauty and urban beauty. At Jiang Ran's request, the shooting models of the first issue were all actresses who participated in "Ghost Horse Zhiduoxing", anyway, the appearance quality of several people was very high, which did not affect the magazine shooting.

In the creation of the entire magazine, Jiang Ran will not interfere in specific affairs, he just takes a pair of critical eyes that have experienced the aesthetic baptism of later generations to constantly find fault with Zhang Shuping's work, and then put forward opinions, whether the other party accepts it or not, but he is the boss, and others will definitely consider his words. Zhang Shuping was annoyed at the beginning and even wanted to pick a stack, but after experiencing several improvements according to Jiang Ran's opinions, Zhang Shuping even began to take the initiative to seek Jiang Ran's opinions, of course, not every opinion of Jiang Ran was accepted, after all, the aesthetic concepts of each era are different.

When Jiang Ran was busy with the magazine "Oriental Charm", Tsui Hark's post-production of the movie was completed, and after Jiang Ran rushed to the cutting room that day, he greeted Tsui Hark: "Director Xu, this time has been hard. ”

Tsui Hark beckoned Jiang Ran to come inside, and joked: "Ah Ran, you don't care about the movies you invested in, I heard that you opened another magazine during this time?"

Jiang Ran said with a smile: "Director Xu also heard about it, I didn't want to promote the movie some time ago, and I suddenly had an idea, so I did it, and my inaugural models are all crew actresses, so they can also play a role in publicity at that time." ”

Tsui Hark smiled and said, "Let's watch a movie." ”

"Okay! Let's see what the effect of the film we've been working on for more than two months is. Jiang Ran said with a little excitement.

As the lights in the small screening hall dimmed and the movie began to be screened, there was little difference between the whole plot and the script, Jiang Ran compared it with the version of Xinyicheng, and felt that the movie was smoother, the clues of the movie were clearer, and the jokes were also filmed with the effect they should have, although some of the funny scenes were reduced, but the viewing effect was better.

After the movie was screened, Jiang Ran slapped vigorously and said to Tsui Hark a little excitedly: "Director Xu, thank you, I didn't expect the script to be so good, our movie will definitely be successful." Jiang Ran is really excited, although this movie was plagiarized by him, but he put in a lot of effort from the script to the production, and now it is finally completed, and it is better than the original film.

Tsui Hark also said to Jiang Ran with a smile: "Thank you Ah Ran for giving me the opportunity to shoot her, and your script is also very good, I also think that this movie is well made, and it should be liked by the audience." ”
