Chapter 56 The first snow of 2006
It seems that as soon as I close my eyes and open my eyes, it's 2006.
Shen Fang waited until the New Year's Day holiday before leaving Hong Kong and returning to the mainland.
In addition to being tired from filming, I also have some back pain.
That night, the girl really insisted on checking herself.
This check didn't matter, I just checked from the sofa to the bathroom and finally to the bed.
The bed at the Four Seasons Hotel is really too soft, I won’t stay there next time.
When I woke up, the girl disappeared again.
But this time I left him a note.
I'll go back first.
The two of them had originally decided not to return to Beijing together.
Shen Fang still has to confirm some things about "Far Cry" with his elder brother Long.
My eldest brother Long gave me a lot of support, and he also said this.
"I understand what you young people think. You want freedom. Don't worry, I will never interfere in how this movie is shot. But if the budget is not enough, just tell me. It will be no problem."
Shen Fang immediately understood that all the little calculations he had in mind were revealed by his elder brother Long.
That's right, I am a veteran of the martial arts world and have never seen anything like this.
Shen Fang touched his nose and smiled awkwardly. His elder brother Long just laughed and didn't mind.
In short, you, Shen Fang, have the final say on this movie.
Then there are some contract details that need to be discussed with professionals.
Even though Big Brother Long is very open-minded, what needs to be discussed must be clearly discussed.
The contract also stipulates that if the box office can exceed 10 million, then 46 points can be implemented.
This is a simple gambling agreement and is very common.
It can be regarded as an encouragement to Shen Fang, and it also shows the sincerity of eldest brother Long.
After returning with this contract, Shen Fang became more confident.
As soon as the plane landed, Shen Fang found that it was snowing in the capital.
Probably, this is the first snow in 2006.
"dad."
"Hey, Xiaofang, why do you think of calling home?"
"I couldn't go back on New Year's Day, I..."
"You're busy filming, as you should, what's the point."
"in addition……"
"What? You won't come back for the winter vacation? You won't come back for the Spring Festival either?"
"Dad, here I am..."
"Ah, you silly boy! You have a movie to shoot, and it's too late for Mom and I to be happy! If you don't come back, you won't come back. As long as you do business outside, that's the best!"
"Oh, Dad, I will definitely make time to go back."
"Haha...your mother wants to say a few words to you."
"Okay...Mom."
"Xiao Fang, Mom misses you so much..."
Shen Fang felt very guilty because he couldn't go home to spend the holidays with his parents.
Yu Xuezhong called his parents. Unexpectedly, his mother's words of "missing you" made Shen Fang break his guard immediately.
While talking on the phone, I let the snowflakes fall on me, completely unaware of it.
…
…
The first thing Shen Fang did after returning to Beijing was that he came to Century Theater and found Brother Teng.
"Let go, I found a nice house for you."
"Thank you, Brother Teng. Where is it?"
"You know An Xiangli, right?"
"Oh, west of Oti?"
"Yes! There is a construction site over there now, and because of this construction site, housing prices are also quite crazy. Some are optimistic about the price increase, while others think it is untenable and the price has gone up so much."
"Haha...it doesn't matter. How is the age of the house?"
"It's not too old, and it's not new."
"Okay, let's book this house."
"readily!"
Everyone had agreed before that Brother Teng and the others would help Shen Fang find a house.
Shen Fang's original plan was to just buy Tiantongyuan. He didn't ask for too much. After all, even Tiantongyuan later increased to more than 40,000 per square meter.
From an investment perspective, this return is quite good.
Shen Teng worked very hard for his brother to buy a house.
At this time, Tiantongyuan was not expensive, and there were even many houses near the 4th Ring Road, which only cost more than 3,000 per square meter.
However, house prices are not calculated entirely according to the 'ring'.
Just like the North Fourth Ring Road, especially the Asian Games Village area, the prices there are relatively high, and there are already projects priced at 8,000 per square meter.
Anxiangli is not as famous as the Asian Games Village, but the two places are on the same latitude, one to the left and one to the right of the Olympic Sports Center.
The house price is relatively low, which is just right.
Shen Fang knows this place. He probably buys a bicycle and rides all the way south to get to the Central Theater.
There will be no delay in going to school.
Then just go ahead and finalize the house.
Buying a house is really not that simple, and you have to go through some procedures, which is quite troublesome.
Although Shen Fang is a second landlord, he still has to find an intermediary for help. However, he is very knowledgeable in this area, and intermediaries are relatively reliable.
After everything was settled, Shen Fang's original nearly 500,000 yuan was turned into a large two-bedroom house.
He was very happy.
Our men finally have a nest in the capital!
There will be no need to go into the woods anymore... Ahem, what are you thinking about!
After these things were done, Shen Fang naturally had to treat Brother Teng and Brother Xiang to a meal.
Brother Xiang said that he would definitely contribute to the decoration and moving.
However, one person seemed unhappy.
"Shen Fang! Did you really buy a house!?"
Teacher Wang, he was very anxious as soon as he came, and he was sweating on his forehead.
With him like this, before Shen Fang could say anything, Shen Teng couldn't hold it back.
"Teacher Wang, why are you saying this so strangely? Isn't it a great thing for my brother to buy a house? I think you will be anxious."
Almost no matter what Brother Teng said, it seemed like he was shaking off some baggage.
Brother Xiang couldn't help it, covered his mouth and laughed.
The same was true for Shen Fang, so he was in no hurry to explain to Teacher Wang.
Teacher Wang was extremely anxious, "Shen Fang, don't you want the notebook I gave you before?"
Sure enough, this guy is staring at the money he got!
Shen Fang chuckled, "Teacher Wang, I understand everything you mean, but that notebook..."
He deliberately lengthened his tone, which made Teacher Wang even more anxious.
"Shen Fang, that book is really good. If it is made into a movie, it might win an award at a film festival or something."
In the final analysis, Teacher Wang is doing it for the good of Shen Fang and Lu Yang. Talented young people like them should not be buried.
After Shen Fang heard what he said, he stopped teasing him.
"Teacher Wang, let's not worry about this "Cinema for the Blind". Guess what I gained from this trip to Xiangjiang?"
Teacher Wang was really confused by his performance.
"what happened?"
Not only Teacher Wang, but Shen Teng and Wei Xiang are also very curious.
"I got 1 million investment from Big Brother Long!"
As soon as he said this, everyone was shocked!
One million is not a small amount.
Teacher Wang's heart was originally cold, but now it is hot.
"Haha! Shen Fang, why didn't you tell me earlier!"
He also thought that the 1 million was invested in "Cinema for the Blind".
Once here, Shen Fang stopped showing off.
"Teacher Wang, my idea is that we should not film "Cinema for the Blind" from the beginning!"
Then, Shen Fang told all his thoughts.
Teacher Wang, Brother Teng and Brother Xiang, they all looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes.
Shen Fang’s method is too awesome!
Two movies were made at once!
Teacher Wang smacked his lips and said, "This is a good plan. How about you and Lu Yang have a good chat?"
When Shen Fang heard this, he nodded immediately.
…
In fact, regarding the issue of funds, some of Shen Fang's words were not so clear.
Brother Long’s one million is definitely not enough to make a “Far Cry” movie.
Shen Fang made it clear before that he would make up for the insufficient funds himself.
His confidence is naturally the money he received, plus the 200,000 he received from signing with Daguo Culture.
Regarding Daguo Culture, Shen Fang only signed a music agreement with them.
However, after this calculation, Shen Fang still has a financial gap, and he should not buy a house with all the money.
But in fact, Shen Fang has already thought about it.
If he is really short of money, he will mortgage the house to the bank.
Don’t you already have the funds?
Many directors have bought houses to shoot movies.
Shen Fang roughly calculated that the cost of his version of "Far Cry" would not exceed 2 million.
Teacher Wang mentioned Lu Yang to Shen Fang and asked them to talk.
So isn't this a ready-made director?
Can save money.
Of course Shen Fang also wanted to direct a movie, and he also wanted to have fun, but after all, he majored in directing, and Lu Yang would definitely not ask for much money.
Shen Fang had this idea, but he was not in a hurry.
I made an appointment with Teacher Wang and also submitted the script for "Far Cry".
…
The next day, Chinese opera.
It’s sunny after the snow.
"Shen Fang, come to the office!"
"OK."
To be honest, Shen Fang felt inexplicably flustered when he saw Teacher Chang again.
He always asks for leave when he goes out to film, so there is no problem with the procedure.
But the way Teacher Chang looked at me made people a little scared.
Sure enough, when I arrived at the office.
"Do you know what your current score is?"
"this……"
"Number one!"
"Ahem...hehehe..."
Shen Fang was very embarrassed. He was ranked first when he entered the exam, but now he is ranked first.
But to be honest, it was mainly because he had many side jobs outside.
Teacher Chang's eyes became sharper, but what he said was quite reasonable.
"Before, when I watched the movie "Charlotte" you made, I felt pretty good about it."
"Thank you, Teacher Chang!"
"You don't need to thank me. I also know that you have some ideas about the ranking. After all, you are filming outside and have a drama outside. You are busy with things."
"Teacher Chang, if you say that, you might as well just slap me in the face."
At this moment, Shen Fang couldn't help but think of what his senior sister had said... Is his dark time about to begin?
"What's next for you?"
"Well... I made another movie and got an investment."
"Wow! You kid is quite capable of doing anything! The movie you make? You have the final say?"
"Roughly the same."
"You want to use the winter vacation to film?"
"Teacher Chang, you know me very well."
"Stop it!"
Teacher Chang's eyes were sharp, and Shen Fang was so reprimanded that he didn't dare to say anything.
However, the conversation then changed.
"Seeing how much trouble you have, I have to give you a chance."
"That's great, Teacher Chang, please tell me."
"How about you write a play? Although we are an acting department, we still have to rehearse some plays, let alone the graduation play. If you can come up with something new and interesting, then you will still be the first one."
"real?"
Shen Fang was extremely happy. Although it was not shameful to be ranked last under Teacher Chang, the last person to become famous was Zhang Ziyi.
But if we can get back to the top spot again, that would be a good thing.
"Is that still a lie?"
"Okay! It's settled!"
But Shen Fang didn't know that after he left, Teacher Chang had a smile on his face.
…
Shen Fang agreed to write a new play.
But there is no rush, he has to think about how to reduce the cost of "Far Cry".
Shen Fang already has the iron cock temperament of Team Leader Zhang.
Suddenly, he met someone and blurted out.
"Zhang Jianing, do you want to make a movie with me?"
Chapter completed!
