Chapter 976 Welcome to the Year 2017 (Part 2)
Chapter 985 Welcome 2017 (Part 2)
The New Year atmosphere quickly faded on the streets of Seoul. After the holiday, everyone on the street was busy. This is a common problem in all international cities. The city runs very fast, so you will feel that people on the street don’t have so much leisure and elegance, as if everyone is in a hurry. China has the most intuitive two cities for comparison, one is Shanghai and the other is Chengdu. One is the fast pace of an international city, and the other is the laziness of China’s top leisure city.
The pace of Seoul, Tokyo, and Shanghai, three international cities, is fast, and the city is a high-speed running machine. Such a city allows you to take a break from your busy schedule occasionally, but it does not allow you to be so idle all the time!
Back at home in Ichon-dong, Yongsan District, Zhang Pingan made a cup of coffee and stood by the window watching the vehicles coming and going outdoors. This is very different from the island where they filmed. Because there is no pollution on that island, even the "cars" are the most primitive horse-drawn carriages or bicycles. Not to mention, riding in a carriage is a different experience.
Returning from the leisurely island to the modern city, there is still a hint of the island in my heart. In fact, the biggest contrast after landing is the temperature, because some artists have been away from Seoul for about a month, including the construction of the venue in the early stage. When I left, it was more than ten degrees in the daytime and I could wear a windbreaker to keep warm. When I came back this time, the temperature during the day was in the single digits, which made people feel a little cold.
In winter, the room is heated by floor heating. Zhang Pingan holds a cup of coffee and sits on the leisure sofa in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, watching the vehicles coming and going on the viaduct. At this time, he feels a little relaxed after putting down work, and the whole person is very relaxed.
Tiffany is still on vacation in the United States, because everyone around her is busy, including Zhang Pingan. So she doesn't know what she can do when she comes back, so it's better to stay in the United States. After all, that's her hometown, she has more acquaintances there, and there is no pressure of being a "star" in the United States. After all, there are really not many people who can recognize her there.
Taeyeon and Li Zhien have been more intensively involved in album production after the New Year. Zhang Pingan originally said that he would accompany Li Zhien to the Taiwan Strait, but an accident occurred during the filming, which caused the entire filming to be postponed. So Li Zhien could only take her team to visit the night market in the Taiwan Strait alone. They ate some snacks and played some interesting activities.
Li Zhien also sent Zhang Pingan a fun video. She and her team walked on the streets of the Taiwan Strait. She met a passerby who said to her, "You look like IU."
During the Spring Festival, Taeyeon will not go to Shanghai with Zhang Pingan this year. Because her vacation is only three days as required by law, because the production volume of her album pages this time is very large. Each set of clothing comes with a different look, which takes time to shoot. Compared with making the album itself, she will invest more time in the exquisite production of the inner pages.
Li Zhien,
She must spend the Spring Festival with her family. Because her younger brother is studying in the United States, there is no statutory holiday for the Spring Festival there, so it would be a bit unreasonable for her, the only grandchild at home, not to spend it with her family at home. Of course, Li Zhien is married, that's another matter! So this year, Zhang Pingan may be the only one who goes back for the Spring Festival.
After a sip of warm coffee, his stomach quickly warmed up, and the temperature of the floor heating also rose to a comfortable level. Zhang Pingan took off his turtleneck sweater and stood by the window wearing a warm coat. After drinking coffee, Zhang Pingan began to organize the materials he shot and wash his clothes.
The materials he shot himself were photos taken by his Hasselblad camera. There are beautiful scenery on the island, the smiling faces of tourists riding in carriages, and the smiles of local children. Zhang Pingan found it very interesting to sort out the photos of the trip one by one. The photos of people and natural scenery are very beautiful. The full-frame high-quality camera does not need to be modified after many films are taken.
Zhang Pingan packed the photos of the actors in this shooting into folders. He planned to make these photos that he accidentally captured during the shooting, and then develop them one by one as a picture album for them as a Spring Festival gift. This is a very thoughtful gift and a very meaningful commemoration.
After sorting the photos, Zhang Pingan searched for a place to develop photos on the Internet. In the past, when everyone used digital or film cameras, professional photo development was everywhere. Now if you want to develop photos, you can only find a special photo studio, and these photo studios are all located in old streets. For example, taking registration photos, etc. It seems that there is one in Ssangmundong in "Reply 1988".
Zhang Pingan sat in front of the computer and began to search for photo studios. After searching for relevant information, Zhang Pingan remembered that this year's "North American Detroit Auto Show" had ended, and he had not seen the new cars released this year.
After Zhang Pingan looked through the North American Detroit Auto Show, only the "Ford GT" attracted his attention. Without hesitation, Zhang Pingan took out his phone and called his mother's secretary Xiao Zheng, because such a limited edition car could not be purchased even in the United States. After all, she was a long way from the "rich" class.
Zhang Ping'an's mother's investment company also has branches in the United States, and the investment company's connections go without saying much. Zhang Ping'an called Xiao Zheng with interest: "Brother Zheng, hello, are you at work?"
Xiao Zheng said with a smile: "Isn't the Spring Festival coming soon? We are all working overtime. By the way, Ping An, are you going back to China for the Spring Festival this year?"
"Come back, I've finished filming here, and I'll be back when I finish my work here. Brother Zheng, I want to ask you a favor. Can you contact me about the new car 'Ford GT' released at the North American Auto Show?"
Xiao Zheng said: "Ford? Our company has some relationship with them. I can help you get the car. However, I have to ask Mr. Zhang first. Last time you had an accident while driving in Japan, Mr. Zhang They are all scared. If you buy a car, I believe Mr. Zhang will not care about it, but such a top-notch sports car."
Hearing that he was about to ask his mother, Zhang Ping'an said a little guiltily: "Well, I have never raced on the road. There are safety measures when running in the racing track. And I wear a helmet and so on. Security is well done.”
"I'd better ask first, otherwise I wouldn't dare to get it for you."
Let me just say now, you can get a car, but you have to pass your mother's test.
Zhang Pingan sighed and said, "Okay. Let me call her. Is she busy?"
"I must be busy, but I don't have a meeting. You can call her."
After hanging up Xiao Zheng's call, Zhang Pingan dialed his mother's phone number. The smile on Zhang's mother's face became very gentle when she saw Zhang Ping'an's call: "Oh, who is this? Our big producer actually called this forgotten mother of mine?"
"Hey, mother, how could I forget you?"
Zhang's mother is very clear about the purpose of Zhang Ping'an's call. He can basically solve his work by himself on weekdays. The call must be about something that he can't solve by himself. So she said: "Don't do this, just tell me, you are the one who doesn't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything."
"Well... some time ago at the North American Auto Show, Ford released a very good-looking limited edition car."
"Haha, buying a limited edition car reminds me of me. Tell me, what kind of car? I'll search for it." When Zhang's mother finished saying this, Zhang Ping'an listened to the pulleys of the chair over there, as if it was moving in front of the computer. a feeling of.
Zhang Ping'an hesitated and said: "Ford GT!"
"Ford GT? Super sports car? Yes, only super sports cars like this are limited edition. Five hundred thousand dollars, is this considered a limited edition?"
"No way, Ford's brand premium is not high. Including transportation, it may be around 6 million Chinese dollars."
Zhang's mother hesitated for a while and said, "Okay, buy it if you like it. However, you are not allowed to drive dangerously."
After Zhang Pingan heard his mother agree, he immediately said: "I rarely drive such a car on the street. I also wear protective equipment when I go to the track, such as a helmet. Of course, I am definitely in control of the car." Play within the range, I won’t pursue rapidity!”
"Fart, if you don't pursue speed, why did you have an accident in Tokyo last time?"
"That was a small mistake. Don't worry, I will drive the vehicle within my control."
After chatting with my mother for a while, the car problem was solved. Sometimes connections with large investment companies show their benefits in these places. In fact, let alone the Ford GT, you must know that not long after the three major cars were launched, my mother could easily get one.
During the phone call, Zhang Pingan said he would go back in two days. After he settled the matters at hand, he would go back early to celebrate the Spring Festival.
Because Zhang Ping'an felt that there was no point in staying in South Korea on the eve of the Spring Festival, so he might as well return to China as soon as possible. After all, Lee Ji-eun is busy and so is Taeyeon. So in Korea, he could only stay here alone and be bored. At most, he would just wait for them to chat after they got off work in the evening.
If you go back early for the Spring Festival, you can also feel the atmosphere before the New Year in China. Years ago, the number of people in Shanghai was gradually decreasing, and self-employed people would go home early. Except for some large companies that had to wait until the end of the year, many small businesses would take a holiday one or two days before New Year's Eve.
Therefore, on the eve of the Spring Festival, the excitement on the streets of Shanghai will gradually decline, but the excitement in shopping malls will gradually increase.
The Spring Festival is what Chinese people look forward to the most, and it is also the most troublesome festival for young people.
Zhang Ping'an was in a good mood and took the 'U disk' he copied to a nearby photo studio to develop the photos.
