Chapter 7: Lily

"Lily." On the Guangzhou-Kowloon through train back to Hong Kong, Shen Chong asked, "Is Guangzhou so fun?" ”

"It's fun, there's a lot of magic." Lily lowered her head, holding a dozen photos taken by Polaroid, and while looking at it, she said, "Although the economy is not good enough, the people are very friendly and hardworking." ”

"Show me the picture."

In Guangzhou, Shen Chong was very busy, in addition to contacting the Zhujiang Film Studio, he also had to deal with the Guangzhou branch of the China Book Import and Export Corporation.

He didn't have time to spend with Lily, so Toroff hired a guide and took her around.

Lily is worthy of being a travel expert, and in three days, she ran all over the streets and alleys of Guangzhou, and also went to attractions such as the Eight Scenic Spots of Yangcheng, and took hundreds of photos.

In these photos, some are landscapes, some are buildings, some are people, some are utensils, and the most are group photos, Lily is taking photos with children, with the elderly, with the girl, with the uncle......

In these group photos, you can clearly feel the difference between China and foreign countries at that time, Lily is dressed fashionably and has a natural posture, while the mainlanders are drab in clothes and have a restrained expression.

However, in many of the photos of people captured by Lili, Shen Chong can clearly feel friendly and enthusiastic, as well as vigorous and upward passion.

"Lily, how do you feel about China on this trip?"

"When I was a kid, my dad told me a lot of Chinese folk tales, and I saw some sensational reports in the United States, so I had a lot of weird fantasies about China before this trip." Lily put down the photo and said, "Alan, do you know, I'm in Guangzhou, I feel like a fish in the sea, it's very comfortable, it's very amazing, I really want to stay there for a while." ”

Lily is not only proficient in Cantonese and Mandarin, but also can write calligraphy, memorize ancient poems, play tai chi, and even play a little pipa, and has been exposed to a lot of traditional Chinese culture.

In this way, she returned to the mainland and naturally felt like a fish in water in the atmosphere of traditional Chinese culture.

"In that case." Shen Chong invited: "After you graduate, come to Hong Kong to work." ”

"Hong Kong is too small for me to stay."

"When you come to Hong Kong, you can easily enter the mainland, and when you come, I will find you a job that you can travel all over the world for free."

"What work, tour guide?" Lily said: "The tour guide is boring and can only wander around one place. ”

"Not a tour guide." Shen Chong put down a photo of a child making a grimace and said, "I plan to set up a TV station that specializes in shooting and broadcasting documentaries, are you interested?" ”

"Really, that's great!" Lily was pleasantly surprised and said, "I've always dreamed of doing this kind of work, when will the TV station start?" ”

"Don't worry, it's very troublesome to do a TV station in Hong Kong." Shen Chong said: "But I can guarantee that in two years, when you graduate, the TV station will definitely be built." ”

"Why do you want to be a TV station in Hong Kong and go to the United States?" Lily was very anxious, she said: "You are so rich, go to the United States to buy a small TV station, it is very cheap, it will be broadcast immediately, and there are more American viewers than Hong Kong." ”

"U.S. law does not allow foreigners to own television stations." Shen Chong said while sorting out the photos: "And I don't want to become a naturalized American. ”

"But I'm American." Lily said, "You can buy TV in my name, or in my father's name." ”

"Running a TV station is not such a simple thing." Shen Chong smiled, he handed the photo to Lily, and said, "Put the photo away, it's about to reach the final station." ”

Lily stuffed the photos into her backpack and said excitedly, "Since you can guarantee that there will be a TV station in two years, we can shoot a documentary in advance." ”

"Don't drop out of school, go to school honestly." Shen Chong stood up, carried his luggage, and said, "Don't do anything before you graduate, otherwise your father will kill you, and you won't want to make a documentary for the rest of your life." ”

"That's right." Lily was annoyed.

"Two years is very fast, and making a documentary is a huge project, and I can't rush it." Shen Chong comforted her, and then asked, "I'll go to Taipei tomorrow, will you go?" ”

"Of course I want to go." Lily immediately nodded and said, "Hong Kong, the mainland, Taiwan, all at once, this summer vacation is perfect." ”

"And Macau." Shen Chong added and said: "I've been busy these days, and I haven't entertained you well, and when I come back from Taipei, I will accompany you to Macao to do your best to fulfill the friendship of the landlord." ”

……

Taipei, in the office of the general manager of the Taiwan branch of Oriental Charm Film Company.

Shen Chong sat opposite Zhang Aijia, put down the text in his hand, and asked, "How does it feel to start a company?" ”

"I'm tired."

Shen Chong sighed, didn't speak, touched his chin, and looked at her with very focused eyes.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Aijia was inexplicable, she touched her cheek, and asked a little uneasily, "Is there something on my face?" ”

"Nothing, it's beautiful." Shen Chong retracted his gaze and said with a smile: "I've never seen a beautiful woman who says she is tired, but she looks radiant, so I can't help but look at it for a while." ”

Zhang Aijia smiled and glanced at him, her eyes flowing, and her style was infinite.

"It's very tiring." She leaned back in her office chair and said, "But it's fun, it's fun." ”

"Fun is not a good word." Shen Chong stroked his forehead with his hand and said, "What the company uses to make money, not for you to play." ”

"But you said in the phone message, I can toss casually, isn't tossing just playing?"

"When chasing girls, men always pretend to be arrogant and say some exaggerated rhetoric." Shen Chong complained: "Sister Zhang, you have a good heart, how can you take it seriously? ”

"I've never seen anyone as lazy as you." Zhang Aijia was amused and said: "I want to please people, and I want people to work, how can there be such a good thing in the world?" ”

"As the old saying goes, red sleeves add fragrance to read at night, talented people read, and beauties hold lights." Shen Chong smiled: "You see, since ancient times, red faces have been used to do things. ”

"How can you explain it like that......"

Before Shen Chong went to the mainland, he left a signed text and instructed the secretary to hand it over to Zhang Aijia when she returned from Japan to participate in the celebration of "Crazy Robbery".

In Wen Jiàn, Shen Chong hired Zhang Aijia as the general manager of the Taiwan branch of Oriental Charm Film Company, and has the power to invest in 5 films with a budget of less than 1oo Hong Kong dollars per year.

1oo Hong Kong dollars, equivalent to about 8oo new Taiwan dollars, for Taiwanese films, such a budget is very abundant. (Note 1)

It is written in the text that Shen Chong does not make any restrictions, nor does he make hard and fast rules on profits, and she can invest in any movie theme according to her preferences.

Zhang Aijia has a lot of ideas about film production, and has always been interested in behind-the-scenes exhibitions, and last year she invested in a film company with Zhou Liang Shuyi, a strong woman in the Hong Kong TV circle, but with the collapse of Jiayi TV Station, Zhou Liang Shuyi left the TV circle gloomily, and the film company ended without a problem. (Note 2)

Therefore, the allure of this letter of appointment to her can be imagined.

Spend 5oo Hong Kong dollars a year, open a company for you to play, than send flowers and diamond rings to be creative and sincere......

And according to the contract, if Zhang Aijia accepts the appointment, she will be very busy, and in the two months that Shen Chong went to the mainland, she basically has no energy and time to think about marriage.

This can be regarded as a small trick played by Shen Chong.

Of course, Shen Chong is not a brainless wronged person who smashes Qian Bo's woman's favor, he dares to open such a contract, mainly because of Zhang Aijia's own ability.

Zhang Aijia has invested in a film company, has operational experience, and is very sensitive to film art, according to history, when she led the Taiwan branch of the New Arts City, she was one of the participants and behind-the-scenes promoters of the Taiwan New Film Movement, Yang Dechang, Hou Hsiao-hsien and others can emerge, she played a great role.

With experience and ability, coupled with a strong family background and a large network of contacts, she is an ideal candidate to open up the Taiwanese film market - whether married or not.

The annual investment of 5oo Hong Kong dollars is a complete loss for Shen Chong, who has three gold-absorbing lines, if this 5ooo universal can stir up a pool of stagnant Taiwanese film market, or dig up a few talented newcomers, it will be earned.

Zhang Aijia got the text from Xiaoyu, and after thinking about it for a few days, she signed it and accepted the job.

She did not disappoint Shen Chong, and in two months, she set up the frame of the Taiwan branch of Oriental Charm Film Company, and is now preparing to shoot her first movie.

"Boss Shen." After chatting with Shen Chong for a while, Zhang Aijia sat up straight and asked, "How do you feel about the movie I chose to invest in?" ”

"Don't, it's okay to call me Ah Chong, between you and me, it's too angry to call the boss." Shen Chong raised his palms, made a gesture of shirk, and said, "To be honest, I haven't read the script you sent to Hong Kong." ”

"Why don't you watch it?"

Shen Chong said awe-inspiringly: "I said that the Taiwan company is at your toss, and I won't interfere." ”

"I didn't let you interfere." Zhang Aijia picked up a manuscript, threw it over, and said, "I'm asking you to see if there is anything that needs to be changed in the script." ”

"This ......" Shen Chong put the manuscript in front of him, looked at the name on the author's column, and said, "I don't have much research on scripts. ”

"Doesn't it feel hypocritical to say this?" Zhang Aijia despised him and said: "Didn't you change "Crazy Robbery" very well, this time I came to Taipei, saying that I was here to inspect the new company, but when I got off the plane, I went to Brother Qiu with two scripts, and I actually said that I didn't study the script. ”

I like to change the script, but this is Hou Xiaoxian's script......

And I haven't seen this movie......

How do I change it?

"Okay, I'll study it." Shen Chong casually opened the script while slandering and asked, "How do you know that I went to Editor-in-Chief Qiu yesterday?" ”

"Is there anything else in Taipei that I don't know?" Zhang Aijia smiled and said, "You just read the script here, I'll go find Lily and eat together at noon." ”

"Okay."

Before Zhang Aijia went out, she turned around and said, "Lily is so beautiful, she is also your confidante?" ”

"Don't talk nonsense." Shen Chong waved his hand again and again and said embarrassedly; "She's my cousin, a real cousin."

Seeing Shen Chong's fierce reaction, Zhang Aijia couldn't help but be stunned, she bit her lip and mocked with vinegar: "Boss Shen, you are so loving." ”

Shen Chong was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly remembered, it seems that in Hong Kong and Taiwan, cousins can get married?

"Lily is just like my own sister." He said: "There is absolutely no bad intentions. ”
