Hong Kong 1980: Me and the Queen Swapped Clothes

"You know what, you're absolutely right. I heard that when this Mr. Qin Han fell in love with his first wife, he was just as head over heels, throwing himself into the relationship without a second thought. That's how he won her over with his unwavering devotion. But, after only a few years of marriage, he's already met someone else who has captured his heart."

Qin Weiming smiled, and his words directly exposed the thoughts of people like Qin Han. They were like monkeys crossing a field with corn cobs in their hands; even though their hands were already full, they still couldn't resist picking the bigger corn cob.

"I really don't understand how Sister Qingxia could be bewitched by him. Isn't a man like that just a scumbag? No, you should go talk to Sister Xia again. You and she should have a good relationship, right? Don't let her fall for that scumbag's tricks." Wang Zuxian's sense of justice erupted. She thought about how such a beautiful woman was about to be deceived by a scumbag. Although Qin Han was very handsome, Wang Zuxian knew Lin Qingxia first, and Qin Weiming explained the entanglement between the two.

This naturally put Joey Wong on the side of the more vulnerable Brigitte Lin. Moreover, Qin Weiming also mentioned that Brigitte Lin had previously gone to the TV station to issue an interview statement severing ties with Qin Han and asking him not to harass her.

In Wang Zuxian's view, Lin Qingxia had already taken the initiative to cut ties cleanly. It was Qin Han who couldn't let go and still came over without regard for his reputation, even dragging other people around into it.

Therefore, even before meeting Qin Han, Wang Zuxian already harbored some dislike for him.

Qin Weiming stroked his chin, looking at Wang Zuxian with great interest, which made her feel uneasy: "What are you doing?"

"I'm just curious how you'll react when you see Qin Han later. He's a famously handsome guy," Qin Weiming said.

Wang Zuxian dismissed it with disdain. She was very confident in her self-control. No matter what, she desperately searched her mind for Qin Han's appearance so that she would have a clear idea of ​​what he looked like and wouldn't embarrass herself in front of Qin Weiming when they met.

Having just met Brigitte Lin, Joey Wong believed she had developed a certain level of self-control and wouldn't be easily swayed by another person.

"If you're free now, come with me to the set and help out with some odd jobs. We can chat with Sister Xia after her makeup is done." Qin Weiming knew that Wang Zuxian was here because of the novelty, so he took her around to look around. But since filming hadn't started yet, everything was in the preparation stage, and the scene was chaotic and didn't seem very interesting.

But Joey Wong has a great personality and knows how to find her own fun. She could spend half a day looking at something, even something as simple as a rockery in a backdrop, which made Qin Weiming chuckle and ask, "What are you looking at?"

"Ah Ming, why did they put a plastic sheet on top of that? And it's transparent, what kind of effect will it look like when we film it?" Joey Wong asked curiously.

Qin Weiming pulled her a few steps and said, "You can't stand that close to this thing. You need to stand a little further away, about three or four meters away. If you want to see it from here, it's best to look at it together with the artificial hill."

"Huh? This, this isn't meant to imitate a waterfall, is it? Is this how movies I usually see are filmed?" Joey Wong's eyes widened in surprise.

"That's how studio shooting works. As long as the cinematography is good enough, the actors stand in the foreground, slightly blocking the view of the waterfall, and the focus of the plot is on the dialogue between the characters. The audience will naturally immerse themselves in the story and ignore the fact that the waterfall in the background is made of plastic sheeting." Qin Weiming laughed and explained these filming details to Joey Wong. Thanks to his recent trips between Hong Kong and Taiwan, he knew a lot about what was happening on set, at least he was a gossip expert in the industry.

Telling these things to Joey Wong is just right; it's not boring and it broadens her horizons.

Just as Qin Weiming was benefiting from his recent knowledge, Wang Zuxian couldn't help but look at him with admiration. Although Qin Weiming was the same age as her, when she arrived at the filming location, she found that Qin Weiming could talk about everyone in the crew in a very organized way, and he would also take the initiative to lend a hand when she was talking to him.

Whether it's moving goods, lighting up, or even small things like putting out lunchboxes, Qin Weiming is willing to help with everything, big or small. When people talk to him, he always has a cheerful and friendly demeanor.

This place felt like a big family, and even made Joey Wong feel that the TV station, which she had previously found very distant, had become like the convenience store downstairs, no longer so high-end.

"Hey, how come you're so close to them? They didn't look down on you at all because you're young." Joey Wong also had some of the gossipy questions typical of girls.

Qin Weiming scratched his head, and Wang Zuxian slapped his hand: "You just moved some fake flowers, can you go wash them? They're all covered in dirt."

"Okay, I'll go wash up in a bit." Qin Weiming had a good temper and smiled without feeling disgusted. "At first, no one wanted to talk to me. They thought I was a kid and would be annoying, so I didn't bother them. I would go and help anyone who was busy. Once we got to know each other, I would help them get their lunch boxes or buy them water. I would also be nice to them in our conversations, and we gradually became familiar with each other. Later, everyone got used to ordering me around, but I only came a limited number of times. Plus, I'm not officially working here for free, so this is what you see here. It's not a great job, but it's not tiring either, and it helps me understand the filming process. That's why I like coming here."

Qin Weiming spoke casually, but Wang Zuxian knew that things were definitely not as simple as he made them out to be. After all, she had just seen many people cowering in fear after being scolded.

"The props and lighting on set are actually quite good-tempered. The producers and directors, who have the worst tempers, haven't arrived yet. Everyone on set is used to yelling, so don't be surprised if you get yelled at. Nobody's being that fierce on purpose; it's just a habit. If we don't yell, no one can hear us, and over time, everyone's hearing has deteriorated." Qin Weiming comforted Wang Zuxian, worried that she wouldn't be used to the environment on set.

However, perhaps due to her natural talent, Wang Zuxian found this place very interesting. She seemed to be born to be here, and she also had Qin Weiming by her side, who knew a lot about her. Although he didn't know that much, what he told Wang Zuxian, an outsider, was quite novel.

Moreover, having known Joey Wong for so long, Qin Weiming naturally knew what she was interested in, so he only talked about the things she was interested in. Unless Joey Wong asked him about it herself, Qin Weiming would just gloss over it.

Wang Zuxian's interest in filming surprised even herself; she would feel embarrassed if asked too many questions.
