    "Sister, please sit down." Shen Chong stood up, pulled out the chair very gentlemanly, and invited Ma Guo Zhiqing to sit down. After returning to his seat, he said: "I haven't seen you for more than a month. Your style is even better than before, and you are more radiant." "Thank you.  "Mr. Shen is as elegant as ever." Ma Guo Zhiqing put down his handbag and said with a smile: "Where's Yuan Yuan? Isn't she here?" "She went to Shenzhen temporarily." Shen Chong picked up the menu and said.  I have something to do at the end of the year. Before the Spring Festival, I am always very busy. " Ma Guo Zhiqing groaned through her nose. She put her hand on her forehead and said, "Who said I'm too busy lately.  , I have been on the plane almost every day from Christmas to now." "Welcome, you two." A foreign waiter came over and asked in English with a strong French accent: "What do you need?" Shen Chong asked.  After flipping through the menu, he closed the menu and said, "I rarely eat Western food. This is my first time eating French food. It's better to hide your shame than to show your ugly face. Sister, please help me to order." "Mr. Shen is so straightforward.  Ma Guo Zhiqing smiled implicitly and said, "Aren't you afraid of being laughed at when you say this?" "My mother has told me since I was a child that there are three elements for success." Shen Chong lowered his eyebrows and said: "First,  The second is to be thick-skinned, and the third is to be thick-skinned." Ma Guo Zhiqing covered her mouth and smiled. She picked up the menu and browsed it while saying: "Mr. Shen, Yuan Yuan said that you are taciturn and don't like to talk. I see.  No, you are very humorous. "This French restaurant is a very formal and traditional type. There are a total of thirteen dishes, cold appetizers, soups, hot appetizers, fish, main dishes, etc. It took a long time to go there.  It took several minutes to order the dishes and wine. "It's so troublesome." After the waiter left, Shen Chong shook his head and said, "The pace of society is getting faster and faster. If we continue like this, French cuisine will be lost sooner or later." Ma Guo Zhiqing obviously didn't  She agreed with his point of view, but she just frowned slightly and did not refute. She changed the topic and chatted casually for a while. After the appetizers were served, she asked: "Mr. Shen, you are a busy man. Today  You're not just inviting me to dinner tonight, are you?" "I've always taken good care of Yuanyuan." Shen Chong looked at the foie gras on the plate and said without touching it, "I've long wanted to treat you to a thank you banquet.  We are busy every day and can't spare any time. ""We are good friends, there is no such thing as taking care of the other." Ma Guo Zhiqing saw that he was hesitant and didn't know what to do, so he explained how to eat foie gras.  : "Mr. Shen, Yuanyuan said that you never do anything without purpose. If you have any questions, just say it." "It is indeed a French national delicacy." Shen Chong tried to eat it, then wiped the corners of his mouth and said  : "It's like this, sister, I'm planning to hold a large-scale film awards ceremony in April, but as you know, Hong Kong has never held a similar celebration. Many people participating in the ceremony don't know how to dress then.  I want to dress up, so I want to ask you to help me and be a consultant." "Why do you want to ask me?  "After the waiter removed the plate of the first course and served the soup, Ma Guo Zhiqing continued: "I'm not a fashion designer.  " "Sister, you are a fashion lady and the best dressed person in Hong Kong.  Shen Chong said with a smile: "Your uttnu is one of the most fashionable and tasteful clothing stores in Hong Kong. If I don't invite you, who should I invite? "Thank you for the compliment." Ma Guo Zhiqing sipped the soup elegantly with a spoon while thinking deeply.  , After a while, he said: "Mr. Shen, can you tell me about this award ceremony in detail?" "Yes." Shen Chong said: "The ceremony will be held on the evening of April 12th, and the location will be the Hong Kong City Hall.  In the concert hall, in addition to film professionals, there are also some celebrities. The whole process will be broadcast live on H. All the arrangements are similar to the Oscars. " After a brief introduction, Shen Chong went on to explain in detail.  Details, such as pre-planning, advertising, stage layout, broadcast process, etc., by the time he finished speaking, the fifth course had already been served.  "Mr. Shen, let me hear you out." Ma Guo Zhiqing put down his knife and fork and said, "I think I will go to this ceremony even if you don't invite me. It's a fashionable feast not to be missed." "That's it.  "Sister, have you agreed to be a consultant?" "Of course." Ma Guo Zhiqing nodded and said, "I am in the high-end fashion business. Such an event is a must. The golden rule in the fashion industry is that movie stars are the best fashion salesmen."  "Okay, I'll send someone to bring the contract to you tomorrow." Shen Chong finished his French lamb steak and said, "It tastes really good." "But, Mr. Shen." Ma Guo Zhiqing picked up the wine glass and said  Said: "The dresses needed to participate in the ceremony are expensive. Ordinary ones cost thousands. Big-name ones such as Chanel cost tens of thousands. Those behind-the-scenes staff, such as the Dragon and Tiger Warriors, and editors, they  You may not be able to afford it even if you are filming several movies. Are you sure everyone needs to wear formal attire?¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter?¡±.  Shen Chong also picked up the wine glass and said, "I will pay for all the costumes of all the film crew members during this ceremony."  " "Are you sure you want to do this?  Ma Guo Zhiqing was surprised and said: "The Hong Kong City Hall band stage has more than 14 seats. Even if only one third of them are filmmakers, more than 400 dresses will be needed. Taking the most common dress, one dress  , the total price exceeds RU 10,000 Hong Kong dollars.  " "Actually, I have a better idea.  Shen Chong clinked the wine glasses with her and said, "I heard that I have a good relationship with many designers in Europe. Why don't we invite them to Hong Kong to make tailor-made dresses for the participants of this ceremony."  " "Do you want a custom-made dress?  Ma Guo Zhiqing was even more surprised and said: "In that case, each item will cost at least tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars."  " "I didn't say you have to hire a top fashion designer.  Shen Chong smiled, put down his wine glass, and said, "You can invite those talented but not yet famous young designers to come to Hong Kong. You can find any kind of fabric in Hong Kong, and the price is cheap. Sister, why do you have to fly there?"  Shopping for fashion in Europe?  It should be the other way around and let designers come to work in Hong Kong. This would be great. You can buy the latest fashions without having to travel.  "How can Hong Kong have such conditions?"  Ma Guo Zhiqing seemed to be listening to fantasy. She refuted: "The European fashion industry has hundreds of years of heritage and cultural atmosphere. Paris, Milan, and London are all world-famous fashion capitals with top clothing companies and designers."  Schools are where designers can gain inspiration and create new fashions. Hong Kong has no heritage and atmosphere. It can only produce cheap jeans and has no fashion genes at all. How can design masters come to Hong Kong to work?  " Shen Chong pouted. Hong Kong people are like this. They only care about the present and lack long-term planning. Hong Kong has a developed film industry and high-quality tourism resources. It clearly has the potential to become the fashion capital of Asia. However, various businesses only focus on acting as agents.  After decades of wasting time selling other people's goods, it finally became a distribution center for the world's luxury goods business. It didn't even have a top brand of its own, and it was worse than Shanghai, which had only developed for twenty years, making wedding dresses.  Just cultivate the foundation. If there is no atmosphere, create the atmosphere.  Shen Chong tapped the table lightly and said: "This award ceremony is an opportunity to help those designers who have not yet become famous to become famous. After three to five years, after creating a few models, there will naturally be designs."  If the teacher takes the initiative to come to Hong Kong to work, then the atmosphere will be better.  "
