Entertainment: Since 1990

"Little sister, I'm sorry, did I scare you just now?"

Seeing that he had frightened the girl, Cao Jian quickly withdrew his fist, took off his glasses, and asked kindly, "What's your name? Why did you take a picture of me just now?"

"My name is Zhang Baizhi, and I'm a fan of yours."

Seeing that her idol had lost his earlier ferocity, the girl felt relieved and whispered her name.

"What a nice name."

Upon hearing this name, Cao Jian knew he hadn't seen it before.

But remembering that he had almost punched the girl earlier, he immediately laughed and asked, "What are you doing here?"

The girl said a little aggrievedly, "I came to buy milk tea and happened to see you. You look a bit like Cao Jian from the Four Heavenly Kings, so I wanted to ask you for an autograph, but who knew..."

Cao Jian said, "I thought he was a bad guy, I'm sorry."

"It's okay, just give me your autograph."

Upon hearing his idol apologize to him, Xiao Zhang Baizhi pulled a notebook out of his bag: "Sign this."

"it is good."

Cao Jian signed his name with a flourish and asked, "Little sister, why are you going to school alone? Where are your parents?"

“My mom went to work, and my dad doesn’t want me and my mom anymore.”

Xiao Zhang Baizhi really likes Cao Jian's songs, so he naturally has no secrets about his idol.

"Pitiful."

Cao Jian's impression of this girl's life comes from Chen's masterpieces, Nicholas Tse's films, and "King of Comedy." He really doesn't know anything about her other private life.

I never imagined that this girl's childhood was quite unhappy.

If she doesn't have a father, can I be her father?

Dry is fine too.

Anyway, this is popular in the entertainment industry.

Cao Jian chuckled to himself, wondering if he had been a little too wicked.

This girl in front of me is so young, there will be opportunities in the future.

He took out a business card and handed it to Zhang Baizhi: "If you encounter any difficulties in the future, give me a call. Now, go back to school and focus on your studies."

"Thank you."

Zhang Baizhi took his idol's business card and immediately treasured it, putting it in his bag. Then he grabbed a milk tea and waved to Cao Jian.

"By the way, never give your business card to anyone else."

"I know."

Zhang Baizhi turned around, gave an answer, and skipped away.

"This girl was quite cute when she was little."

Cao Jian imagined what this woman would be like in the future, and then saw her as she was now. He felt that the contrast was really huge.

It's a pity we met too early. If she were seventeen or eighteen, or even sixteen, I could have found a way to turn her into a model for my magazine.

But there's no rush, they'll grow up eventually.

In mid-May, filming for "The Greed of Man" finally wrapped up, and a grand wrap-up ceremony was held.

"Cao Jian, what are your plans after you finish filming this movie?"

As the time for parting approaches, Amy Kwok is genuinely reluctant to see herself no longer able to work with Cao Jian.

Cao Jian laughed and said, "What? You can't bear to part with me?"

"Screw you!"

Guo Aiming scolded her shameless younger brother and said, "The station has a new drama coming out soon, I think it's called 'I Love Toothbrush Su,' do you want to give it a try?"

"No, I've been too tired lately and I'm planning to take a break."

Cao Jian had never heard of this obscure drama before, and laughed, "Go try it out. If you get selected, I'll invite you to visit the set sometime."

"really?"

"Of course, but you'll have to wait until I get back from Taiwan."

As Cao Jian spoke, he added, "Think about what I told you last time. There's no future in being a celebrity. You might as well become an engineer."

"talk later."

Amy Kwok was being a bit perfunctory. What's the point of working for someone else? It's better to be a star and act in movies.

Although TVB's pay isn't high, you can still earn over HK$100,000 a year, and even more if you become famous.

Even if you really want to be an electronics engineer and work for me, I might consider it.

The crew had a wrap party, and Cao Jian breathed a sigh of relief.

The tasks for the first half of the year are finally almost finished.

After leaving TVB, he found Mui Yan-fong, gave her the script for "Fong Sai-yuk," and asked her to help with the investment so that filming could take place in the second half of the year.

The Hong Kong film industry is very efficient; once a good script is produced, it will be put into production very quickly.

Some films are even written and filmed simultaneously.

It just so happens that this script, "Fong Sai-yuk," doesn't exist yet, and Cao Jian's timing in presenting it now is perfect.

The best course of action was to entrust this matter to Anita Mui, because the relationships within the Hong Kong entertainment industry are too complicated for her to handle on her own.

"Is this your first time writing a script? The plot is not bad." After reading Cao Jian's script, Mei Yanfang was somewhat incredulous that it was written by a newcomer.

"I've watched too many martial arts movies."

Cao Jian laughed and said, "I'll leave this to Sister Mei. I suggest casting Li Lianjie as the lead actor, and let the director decide the rest. I can play the second male lead."

“Li Lianjie is probably in a difficult position. His agent was shot and killed last month, didn’t you know? And he’s currently running his own film company.”

"I know, but I can give it a try."

"I still think it would be better if you acted it yourself."

"I?"

Cao Jian did consider acting in this film, but his mediocre skills were no match for Jet Li's.

Although I am more handsome than Jet Li.

He hesitated for a moment, then said, "I'll see. I'm okay with the second male lead, the Nine Gates Admiral."

"Okay, go have fun. Call me when you get to Taiwan, keep in touch and let me know you're doing well."

"Know it."

As Cao Jian spoke, he stepped forward and hugged his best friend before heading to the company to give some instructions to General Manager Hong Zhibo.

"Boss, who are you planning to choose as the cover model for this issue of 'Men's Style'?"

"let me see"

Zhang Min has already appeared in this magazine once, which can be considered as promotion for the upcoming film "The Deer and the Cauldron". According to his plan, this issue was originally intended to feature Chingmy Yau.

This was also done in order to cultivate good relations with the Xiang family and Yong Sheng.

Now that we're born before 97, even if we really dislike this company, we have to put up with it.

Besides, Boss Cao is here to make money, not to fight and kill.

It's still uncertain who will be more powerful in the future.

Just as he was about to have someone contact Qiu Shuzhen, he suddenly remembered the contact information that Stephen Chow had given him.

"Go and book two plane tickets to Taiwan for me first. Let me think if I know anyone suitable."

After seeing the general manager off, Cao Jian hurriedly rummaged through his bag for his phone book, found Zhu Yin's number, and dialed it.

"Hello, who is it?"

"Hello, Ms. Zhu Yin, I am a friend of Stephen Chow and also the editor-in-chief of 'Men's Health' magazine. I would like to invite you to be the cover girl for one issue of our magazine. Would you be interested?"

Cao Jian did not reveal that he was the boss, but planned to communicate with the girl as the editor-in-chief first.

"What's the salary like?"

To his surprise, the girl on the phone asked about his salary first.

"I've seen you in 'Fight Back to School 2,' you had a great image, but unfortunately you're not famous enough yet. How about 20,000 Hong Kong dollars?"

"Okay, no problem."

Zhu Yin is currently a student working part-time while studying, and 20,000 Hong Kong dollars is indeed a lot for her. She agreed and said, "Then when will I go?"

"You can come over and chat today."

"it is good."

Zhu Yin, who was on the other end of the phone, had previously bought the magazine "Men's Health".

After finding the publisher's address, I took a taxi to the Fu Hing Building in Central, Hong Kong, where the publisher already has a considerable reputation in Hong Kong.

"Miss Zhu, you are even more beautiful than in the movies."

When Cao Jian saw the young and tender Zhu Yin, he felt she was even more beautiful and pretty than when he filmed Zixia Fairy.

It's summer now, and she's wearing a floral dress, showing off her shapely legs, looking youthful and beautiful.

Although she was beautiful in "Fight Back to School", she is actually even more beautiful in real life.

"Thank you, Mr. Cao. Are you the editor-in-chief here?"

Zhu Yin naturally recognized Cao Jian as the currently popular singer, but she was curious as to when he became the editor-in-chief of "Men's Gang".
Cao Jian laughed and said, "Boss and editor-in-chief."

"Are you the boss?"

Zhu Yin was even more surprised.

She worked part-time at TVB while studying, so of course she had heard of Cao Jian's name and knew that he was the youngest of the Four Heavenly Kings.

How did you suddenly become the owner of a magazine?
Some celebrities do business, but Cao Jian really looks quite young.

"Why doesn't it look like it?"

Cao Jian smiled and said, "I heard from Stephen Chow that you have great talent and will definitely be a good actor in the future, so I came to find you."

"So you and Stephen Chow are friends."

Zhu Yin was naturally pleased to be praised for her talent: "When will filming begin?"

"Today."

Except for Angelina Jolie, who was photographed for seven days, the other models for "Men's Style" finished their shoots in one day. It was just a cover shoot and other photos, which didn't take much time.

Cao Jian took so many photos of Julie mainly because Julie is going to be an international superstar, and when she becomes famous, she can release a photo album.

It might sell for a lot of money.

After bringing Zhu Yin to the photo studio, Cao Jian said, "Ms. Zhu, I think your eyes are very expressive. A picture of you blinking might look really good."
