"It's okay, I'm okay! When I came, I didn't have any hopes. It's just Director Guan and Brother Yongning who are a little embarrassed. After all, they were nominated out of ten and didn't win a single award. Where can I reason with you?"
He Xin didn't have time to call his girlfriend last night. She probably saw the news online last night and called her early in the morning to comfort her.
"By the way, when will your new movie be released? Have you decided yet?"
Cheng Hao now has a lot of film appointments. In addition to "Dragon" which is still in the preparation period, he has also received a new film, which is a costume comedy film invested by Lingnan Film and Television.
The most popular TV series these days are costume comedies. It started with Zhang Guoli's "Kangxi's Private Interview", and then "Huanzhugege" became a phenomenal hit, pushing this type of TV series to a climax.
Then various Hong Kong and Taiwan films such as "Happy Dragon", "Little Smart", "Xiao Bao and Kangxi" entered the mainland market one after another. Mainland film and television companies also followed suit, including "Li Wei Becomes an Official", "
"Ji Xiaolan" and "Young Man Bao Qingtian" also followed this path.
This is the same as in later generations, such as "Bright Sword" became popular and was the beginning of the popularity of anti-Japanese dramas; "Latent" became a hit and spy war dramas were everywhere; and the "Sword of Immortal" series created the trend of ancient puppets.
This new costume comedy film directed by my girlfriend tells the story of a scholar who was born in tofu and got the position of imperial envoy by chance. He assisted Emperor Tongzhi who visited privately incognito to revitalize the country and rectify the administration of officials, thereby realizing his ideal of serving the country.
He Xin once listened to his girlfriend narrating the plot in general on the phone. Not to mention that during the Tongzhi period, there was the Tianping Heavenly Kingdom in the south, the Nian Army in the north, and the external powers eyeing it. The Qing Dynasty was about to be destroyed.
Emperor Tongzhi was dyed with flowers and willows at a young age and lay dying in the palace. It was impossible for him to go to the south of the Yangtze River for a private visit. Not to mention that the Empress Dowager Cixi was in power at that time. Emperor Tongzhi wanted to punish an important minister like the Governor of Liangjiang.
It's possible.
It can be said that the entire historical background is purely fabricated.
Moreover, the storyline of this TV series can be said to be a hodgepodge of classic plots from all previous popular costume comedies.
The grassroots accidentally got the imperial envoy to imitate "Li Wei Becomes an Official"; Tongzhi's Private Interview imitated "Kangxi's Private Interview"; various parties competed for "The Fainting Official Book" and borrowed treasure-hunting plots from various costume comedies;
"The Influence of the Poison of Zhugege", a quirky Princess, is also a standard feature of this type of TV series.
The female lead, played by Cheng Hao, is a famous prostitute in a brothel whose father was framed by a traitor and has been forced to live in prostitution instead of selling her body. She is related to the second male lead who narrowly escaped death to protect the "Faint Official Genealogy", and she secretly helps outwit the traitor.
The leading male lead has an ambiguous relationship with a strange woman.
Anyway, after He Xin heard the plot of this drama, he felt very bloody! There is no way, why is this kind of tone popular now?
"About the tenth of next month." Cheng Hao said on the phone.
When He Xin heard this, he hurriedly said: "Then will you come over to visit the class?"
The movie "Choose a Concubine" that my girlfriend is currently filming will be finished in a few days, so she will have nearly two weeks of free time.
Cheng Hao was a little embarrassed on the phone: "I have to go back to Qingdao first to help my parents buy a house... Let's see, I will definitely come over when I have time."
Without his girlfriend saying anything, he had forgotten about buying a house, so he hurriedly said: "Buying a house is a simple matter, isn't it? Besides, you want your parents to live there, so you can just let them choose on their own!"
Of course, Cheng Hao understood what her boyfriend was trying to do in such a hurry on the phone, and he immediately said coquettishly: "Huh, can't I go home and stay with my parents?"
"Okay! Of course we should spend time with our parents, but you also have to leave some time for us, right?" the guy said with a playful smile.
"Tch, I was your parents just now, how come you are our parents again in the blink of an eye? Anyway, I said, we'll talk about it when we have time!"
"Don't worry, if you don't come this time, you won't know when we can meet you next time! Don't you miss me..."
The most painful thing about finding a girlfriend in the industry is spending less time together and more separation. This is the reason why many couples in the industry break up.
In fact, He Xin knew in his heart that whenever his girlfriend had time, she would definitely come to see him, but falling in love was not just about allowing his girlfriend to lose her temper, and then make noises, tug, and grind...
It’s endless fun!
As his income continues to increase, He Xin has now also expanded, and he has no sense of being thrifty at all. You must know that Hong Kong is also considered an international roaming, and the phone bill is very high!
The phone call lasted until Sister Hong knocked on the door and came in. She was still standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with her cell phone in hand, chatting with her girlfriend while looking at the beautiful scenery of Victoria Bay.
Sister Hong was not surprised and kept packing her clothes. She didn't get the best actor, so she had to return the clothes.
"Don't you bring these shoes?" He Xin finally hung up the phone and saw that Sister Hong had left the pair of leather shoes from yesterday.
"The shoes are half the price. I bought these shoes. Forget it, you are getting an advantage." Sister Hong sighed deliberately.
This pair of leather shoes is a famous brand imported from Italy and costs several thousand yuan at least. He Xin hurriedly said: "No, you can just deduct it from my money."
"Okay, I can still afford a pair of shoes as a gift. Oh, by the way, there's something I almost forgot. When will your newly bought house be ready?"
"It's early. We won't be able to hand over the house until August. When we finish packing and move in, it won't be until the end of the year at least."
"It seems that I have to help you find a house again. The landlord of the house you live in now is selling it."
"Selling?"
He Xin was a little surprised. He really liked the place where he lived now. Although it was an old community, it had convenient transportation, convenient shopping, and a quiet environment amidst the hustle and bustle. Everything was good.
Moreover, he is a person who doesn't like to move much. When he first bought a house, he chose that community because it was very close to the Tuanjie Lake community where he lives now, and he was very familiar with this area.
"Yes, his child graduated from high school this year and plans to study abroad. He doesn't have enough money, so he wants to sell this old house." Sister Hong said.
"Then how much do they want to sell for?" He Xin asked quickly.
On the one hand, he is unwilling to change his house. On the other hand, this house is really good and worth investing in. Even if he doesn’t live in it anymore, the supply will exceed the demand if he rents it out. The key is that it is a school district house. A house in this area will be worth at least six
Seventy thousand one square meters.
"I didn't ask, why do you want to buy it? Didn't you just buy a new house?" Sister Hong said in surprise.
"This house is good, buy it for investment! Sister Hong, ask me, if the price is right, I will buy it."
"Okay then, I'll ask you later."
"Don't look back, call now. What if there is a buyer?" He Xin said hurriedly.
"you……"
Sister Hong originally wanted to say that buying a house was like buying cabbage, but seeing his eagerness she couldn't help but shake her head, took out her cell phone and called him.
"The actual area of this house is 58 square meters. They want to sell it for a round number, 400,000 yuan! There is no buyer yet." Sister Hong said after hanging up the phone.
"Can you make a counter-offer?"
He Xin did the math and found that the price was almost 7,000 per square meter. Logically speaking, most house prices in this area were at this amount, but his house was a second-hand house, and it was more than ten years old.
Sister Hong shook her head and said, "He told me on the phone that this is the real price, and all the things in the house are included in it. And the 400,000 yuan does not include taxes and fees, so they want to get it net."
Seeing his hesitant look, Sister Hong couldn't help but persuade him: "The price is indeed a bit expensive, why don't you forget it. I'll help you find a place closer to the school later, so you can live there for a while."
He Xin was not hesitating about the price. Thinking of the high housing prices in later generations, it really didn't matter if the difference was a few hundred yuan per square meter now. The key was that he didn't have time. Sister Hong was a friend of the landlord, so it was not easy to bargain with the other party.
He did the math and found that even 400,000 yuan was not a big problem. The down payment was 30%, 120,000 yuan, and the rest would be a loan.
He now has more than 200,000 yuan on hand. He has paid the balance of the salary for "Jade Guanyin" and half of the salary for "Conquer". In addition, the contract for "Purple Butterfly" has to be signed soon. The contract stipulates
As long as you sign, 30% will be credited to your account, and you will pay another 30% when you join the group, and the final 40% will have to wait until the finalization.
In fact, there is no problem even if it is full payment.
"No, let's buy it. Sister Hong, I'll leave this to you."
"Do you really want to buy it? It seems you really like that house!"
Sister Hong was surprised, but she knew that this guy was young and had a very right idea. Even if he made up his mind, nine cows would not be able to pull him back.
After thinking for a while, he said: "Okay, I'll help you negotiate the price later. Although they say this is the real price, I think there should still be room for bargaining."
