Chapter 1516: Is It Okay?!

After finishing work in the afternoon, and after some entertainment in the evening, Ren Jingxi came to the mansion in Maoer Hutong, and it was almost ten o'clock in the night.

In the underground parking lot of the mansion, knowing that Mo Wuling was already at the swimming pool, Ren Jingxi went directly, changed into a bathrobe and entered the swimming pool, and saw Mo Wuling soaking comfortably in the small hot spring pool at a glance.

There is also music playing in the pool.

Ren Jingxi didn't pay attention at first, because it happened to be a very weird chant, I don't know what language it was in, it was vague and far away, and it wasn't until the lyrics that he suddenly became interested.

*

* I don't know how long I have been sleeping in the dark.

*I don't know how hard it is to open my eyes.

*I came from afar, and you happened to be here.

*The obsession lingers, I'm wild for her.

*

It wasn't until the waitress standing beside her reminded that Mo Wuling, who had just dozed off, opened his eyes and stood up to greet her, that Ren Jingxi came back to his senses.

Walking to the side of the small pool, he took off his bathrobe and handed it to the waitress next to him, and stepped into the pool next to Mo Wuling, feeling the instant relaxation brought by the special warmth, Ren Jingxi breathed a sigh of relief, and finally remembered, Asked: "What song?"

Mo Wuling said: "Jin Shu is currently making a documentary about climbing Mount Everest, and this is the theme song."

Ren Jingxi let out an oh, and then realized in an instant: "Or did he write it?"

Mo Wuling nodded calmly, "Yes."

Ren Jingxi was keenly aware of the guilty conscience of the girl beside him, reached out and grabbed a handful, and said under Mo Wuling's reproachful eyes: "You are really hopeless."

For some reason, Mo Wuling didn't refute this time, but leaned back on the soft pillow by the pool, moved his mouth slightly, and silently hummed along with the repeated music.

A really nice song.

Ren Jingxi didn't spoil the scenery any more, and lay down in a relaxed manner, savoring the charms of the lyrics together.

I also remembered the poem by Tagore that both of them liked very much in college.

I can't go back to my youthful years.

Afterwards, the two of them didn't talk much. After soaking in the bath, they returned to the wing room where Mo Wuling usually lived in the west courtyard on the ground. Only then did Ren Jingxi ask, "How about the house you saw this afternoon?"

As Ren Jingxi said, he had already turned to the small study next to the living room connected to the bedroom, sat directly at the desk, put down his satchel, and turned on the computer familiarly.

Mo Wuling took out the juice from the refrigerator in the corner, poured a glass for each of them, and brought a glass to Ren Jingxi, then retreated to sit on the sofa next to him, and said: "After seeing a few neighborhoods, I feel the same It’s the same as in the countryside, even the facilities in the community where existing houses are sold are not perfect, and when you go to a higher floor, you can see the wilderness around you.”

Ren Jingxi took out a thick stack of documents and a USB flash drive from his satchel, plugged it into the computer, and said, "So, are you not satisfied?"

"Not satisfied," Mo Wuling said firmly, "But I still plan to buy it."

Ren Jingxi smiled and said, "What kind of logic is this?"

Mo Wuling said: "It's cheap. The existing housing complex I saw only cost 4,500 per square meter. Moreover, I heard that I hope to buy a few more houses. They also said that they can give me a good discount. It is estimated that there will be nine fold."

Although Ren Jingxi has made a lot of money in the past few years, he still hasn't eaten fireworks. Hearing this, he said, "4500 is still cheap. In my hometown, I may not be able to earn so much in a year's work?"

Mo Wuling sipped the juice and retorted: "If you talk about Africa, you may not be able to earn so much in ten years."

Ren Jingxi let go of the document in front of him and started typing on the keyboard, saying, "I remember that the houses here in the capital shouldn't be so expensive. It seems that, a few years ago, there were 2,500 square meters of villas."

"When did you say, the villas in the suburbs are now tens of thousands per square meter, and the villas in better areas cost more than 10,000. The apartment I saw in the afternoon, the unit price in the third ring is currently between 6,000 and 8,000 .”

Ren Jingxi continued to focus on the work in hand, and said, "In this case, buying a house is really a good investment."

Mo Wuling thought for a while and said, "I saw a new building that just opened today. The view from the top floor is very good. You can see the Summer Palace and Peking University campus. I was thinking, why don't we buy the top few floors all at once? , um, in this case, you have to lend me some money, and I will return it to you after the youth bonus comes down."

Ren Jingxi was finally a little surprised, turned his head and glanced at her, then turned his attention back, and said with a smile, "Are you so desperate?"

"You don't know," Mo Wuling paused, and said, "He bought several buildings at a time in a community over Madian Bridge. Besides, you should have an impression of the Huanyu Center project in Wudaokou, right?"

"No, I can't pay attention to these," Ren Jingxi shook his head and asked, "How do you know?"

Mo Wuling shrank his neck slightly, and said: "I can't just buy blindly, there are two real estate companies in the mansion, and in the capital, there are actually quite a few real estate companies he has invested in, so of course you can ask. Anyway, he has actually been building houses here and there in China, and I think it’s much more reliable to keep up like this than just talking about it.”

Ren Jingxi hummed, thought for a while, and asked: "You just said that building, how many floors, how many sets in total?"

"The apartment on the 11th floor has different types of units on different floors, but there are about 60 apartments in the whole building," Mo Wuling said, and then he realized: "You don't think so?"

Ren Jingxi nodded with a smile: "Since he buys one by one,

Of course we can too. Moreover, if we just buy a few floors according to what you just said, it would be so boring, we might as well eat the whole building. "

Mo Wuling immediately began to calculate.

If I remember well, the total area of ​​each suite on each floor is about 600 square meters, and the 11th floor is 6,600 square meters. If it is temporarily calculated at about 4,000 yuan with a 10% discount, it will cost about 26 million. In addition, the down payment ratio is 30%, and a building needs at least about 8 million funds.

8 million doesn't seem like much.

After all, Wu Shanlin from Jinshu had hinted a few days ago that she would hope to get a million-level red envelope just this time with the movie To Youth.

Besides, I'm still with my girlfriends next to me.

Ren Jingxi at the computer desk waited for a moment and asked, "Have you figured it out?"

Mo Wuling nodded: "The down payment needs about 8 million. According to one to five, um, it's still too much. The down payment is not a problem, the key is the follow-up. It will be bad if I don't pay it. Why don't I just count it as 1 million, and the rest The next 7 million is yours, and the follow-up ratio will also be calculated in the same way."

30% down payment, first pay 1 million, and then, if you can pay off in advance, about two to three million will be enough.

Two to three million may seem like a lot, but Mo Wuling has been used to the world over the past few years, so he doesn't think he will lose money in the future. It's just that, if you buy enough this time, you may not be able to sell again for a long time. In fact, she also recently inquired about the possibility of repeated mortgage loans to buy repeatedly, but she felt that she could not do this kind of thing.

Ren Jingxi also had no objection, nodded and said: "No problem. By the way, and then, we bought so many houses, we can't put them there, right? Houses are prone to decay if they don't live for a long time?"

Mo Wuling thought again that he had mentioned a certain title of "charter woman", and said: "Of course it is rented out. Although it is close to the Fourth Ring Road, it is next to Zhongguancun. Because of the technology industry, it has developed rapidly in recent years. There’s also a lot of rental demand.”

Ren Jingxi did not object: "In this case, we'd better set up a small team to take care of this matter."

Mo Wuling didn't think much about it at first, after all, he only planned to buy two or three houses at first. However, after Ren Jingxi said this, if he thought about buying the whole building, he would have no objection.

A word of promise, seeing Ren Jingxi still beating fast, Mo Wuling was finally curious, got up and came over: "There is no need to be such a workaholic, it's alright now, this is, email?"

Ren Jingxi nodded, and added with a smile: "To someone's email, do you want to add a greeting from Miss Mo Wuling?"

"No," Mo Wuling immediately refused, and then glanced at the content of the email: "Is this something you guys are discussing about making a movie recently?"

"Everyone can't make up their minds, so let him help," Ren Jingxi explained, and then said: "By the way, Things Past are almost finished, do you have any new ideas, just take advantage of me this time?"

"No." Mo Wuling lay on Ren Jingxi's shoulder, still a little embarrassed: "You also know that he was the first to bring up the previous ones."

"That's just an idea. You can write the script and sell it well. That's the real skill. So don't be humble. Come up with another idea. If it's great, I'll borrow your money later. You don’t need to pay it back, it’s used to buy the script.”

"Really not, and" Mo Wuling pointed to the content of the document Ren Jingxi was writing: "If you want to make a blockbuster, you definitely don't want to look for me. To Youth is my lead writer. On Chu Han's side, the original script I wrote was only A very small number of people were adopted, and they all said that I was too literary and artistic, and I was definitely not suitable anyway.”

Ren Jingxi felt the loss of his best friend behind him, and persuaded: "There is a literary market for literature and art. Isn't it very successful to be young, and time in the water is not bad. Besides, what kind of literature and art are you? I guess you are interested in real literary films. I haven’t seen a few of them. Anyway, I think you are quite suitable for the commercial market.”

Mo Wuling has been quietly recharging himself, of course it's not that Ren Jingxi said he hasn't seen a few literary movies. Hearing what she said, and thinking about it carefully, I found that it seemed to be true.

Not to mention other foreign countries, the older generation of filmmakers in China are basically a strong literary fan, including Zhang Guoshi. Although the early films are relatively rural, in fact, there are literary youths behind the rural Zhang Guoshi happens to be the one who has made a relatively successful transformation in recent years. Even so, the hero's literary style can be seen at a glance. If the Chu-Han trilogy can be done well in the future, then it will be considered a complete transformation.

In comparison, the few films that Mo Wuling has participated in so far are generally more popular and down-to-earth.

The two of you chatted with each other, Ren Jingxi finished writing the email, and finally added a sentence "Attachment: Mo Wuling sends greetings to you" jokingly, which caused the two girls to fight, and was finally rejected. Mo Wuling deleted it before the email could be sent.

After sending the email, neither of the two girls felt sleepy. Ren Jingxi opened the browser, and the homepage was directly Xiangshan Portal.

A certain "To Youth" event hung a banner very conspicuously, and there was also a prominent position on the homepage with the words "To our youth that will eventually pass away" at the next week's box office of 67 million.

Click on the banner to enter the recent event page that tens of millions of people have participated in.

On the message board, the post that hangs high at the top and won 3.27 million likes and 290,000 comments is very simple and clear: "He Xiaoyu, I'm Liu Yu, I like you!"

Ren Jingxi flipped through the rumors of the first post, and said, "It seems that this post should already be locked in the first place, one, two, three, four, five, well, there are only 11 words in total, and you can take away 100,000 yuan." Block bonus, Wuling,

Could it be Jinshu's babysitter? "

"Of course not," Mo Wuling said, "These two people have been reported by the media. They are two students who just graduated from a university in Shenyang this year, and the girl has already accepted the boy's confession."

"I don't understand, you look at the back, those who posted photos and wrote a bunch of testimonials, it took a lot of effort to get into the top ten," Ren Jingxi shook his head: "Besides, there should be a lot of confession posts like this. Well, why this one?"

Mo Wuling said: "Xiangshan Network did an investigation, because this was an earlier confession post, and everyone started booing and pushed him to the top. Then, tens of thousands of similar posts appeared on the entire message board. This is actually taking advantage of time and luck. However, recently, I have actually thought about why Zhiqing was able to succeed. After seeing this post, I probably understand."

"Why?"

"Because what I wrote was the life we ​​used to have, the real youth, so it resonated with everyone," Mo Wuling said, pointing to the 11-character post: "Like this, many college students There were boys and girls who regretted not being able to express their love during the school days, and it eventually became a permanent regret. Therefore, this post resonated with everyone."

Ren Jingxi thought about it, and had to admit that what Mo Wuling said was probably the truth.

The next day is Saturday.

July 24

The weekend has already started in the country, and Ren Jingxi is still busy all day, so that the house inspection can only be postponed to Sunday.

In the evening, Mo Wuling, who didn't want to socialize very much, was forced to attend the celebration reception of Zhiqing. After Friday, July 23, Zhiqing pushed the total box office to 156 million with another single-day income of about 7 million, surpassing it in one fell swoop. Party A and Party B, who previously ranked first in the year, reached the top of the year.

Not surprisingly, the box office champion of the year in 1999 was basically locked.

Because of the Western-style reception, this time it was much more lively than the opening ceremony of the Chu-Han Trilogy last time. In addition to the core members of the Jinshu Department, many prominent figures in the circle came to join in the fun. It was full of more than three hundred guests.

The core of the reception is undoubtedly the youth crew.

The newly-promoted young director Cao Jingchu has become the target of every family's initiative to befriend and woo, Mo Wuling is also highly praised, there are several leading actors, some film and television company bosses talked about business on the spot, and there are even some not-so-respectable ones. A middle-aged rich man in his teens confessed his love to Zeng Dameiren, saying that as long as Zeng Dameiren agreed, he would immediately buy a house and a car, and he could also invest in a movie, and let her be the only heroine.

Jin Shu was not too polite with the guy who had just made a small fortune in recent years and didn't know who he was, because it was a bit too much to do something, so he invited him out directly.

The brief farce did not affect everyone's emotions, and everyone had a great time.

Back in Maoer Hutong, both Ren Jingxi and Mo Wuling were a little tipsy.

Go to the hot spring bath again.

Speaking of which, in midsummer, soaking in this kind of hot spring bath has a special taste and can also preserve health.

After soaking comfortably in the bath, they walked all the way from the east courtyard to the west courtyard through the corridor and the cave. The two girls were still discussing tonight's reception.

About a slapstick episode.

At the beginning, they all criticized men with the same hatred, and then they talked about a certain guy by coincidence, and then excused him together by coincidence.

Although he is fickle, at least he is not entangled.

Not only that, but a certain guy seemed a bit too cool. However, this seems even more ominous.

And that high-spirited Cao Jingchu.

I went to Hollywood for exchange and study for a year, and then returned to China to complete To Youth. In fact, I am only 29 years old now, but I have already achieved great success. Of course, it's not as brilliant as when someone was already a blockbuster at the age of 18, but it's still top-notch.

Back in Mo Wuling's wing room, Ren Jingxi was in front of the desk again, turned on the computer casually, and said, "Actually, among the first batch of 30 people, there are quite a few good guys, such as filming the scene of the wormhole for our company." , and, well, he is a Mongolian. I don’t know if his surname is Wu or Uer. Maybe that’s his name. The names of ethnic minorities are very long. The first self-written and self-directed martial arts film was also filmed. It will be released next year. According to Mr. Wu, the samples are very good. However, because it is a low-cost martial arts film, the box office will not be too high. There is also a man surnamed Xu who was specially arranged to follow Ang Lee for a year. He is currently filming A documentary called The Lost Martial Arts. It is also very thoughtful. There are also plans to make a movie in the future.”

Mo Wuling leaned softly on the sofa, and said, "Since it's an exchange and study, they are the best group of people, so it's not surprising that they are outstanding."

"That's not it," Ren Jingxi said, "Like the batch that just passed by recently, they all came to me for their relationships. In my opinion, half of those who are capable and have connections are at most half and half. Just say In fact, less than half of the first batch of 30 people came back. Most of them tried their best to stay in the United States, and some of them would rather be black households because of this. After all, those who can come back and start from scratch are indeed more courageous kind."

Mo Wuling nodded, but also understood: "Who is not like this now, I occasionally think about whether to immigrate, how about you?"

"Of course I've thought about it," Ren Jingxi said, "Actually, it's not easy to do Huanzhu Film and Television now."

Mo Wuling remembered something, and said, "I remember, Sister Chen told me about this matter, and said that if you want to immigrate, it's best to go to Australia instead of the United States."

Ren Jingxi was puzzled: "Why?"

In fact, Mo Wuling didn't quite understand it, so he could only say what he thought.

Fa: "You know, his real wife is an Australian, so that should be considered a country that he attaches great importance to running. Anyway, that's probably how it is."

Ren Jingxi hummed, didn't ask any more questions, but quietly remembered it in his heart.

After the computer was turned on, I didn't expect much, but when I opened the e-mail, I found that someone had already sent a reply, and Ren Jingxi cheered up immediately.

Noticing Ren Jingxi's reaction, Mo Wuling got up from the sofa and ran behind Ren Jingxi to read someone's email reply together.

Regarding the strategy of making blockbuster films here, the other side first gave affirmation.

Then, there are mainly a few specific suggestions.

The first one is mythology and monsters.

This is also what Ren Jingxi and the others mainly thought of. However, someone suggested that for the time being, don't adapt long novels, such as Journey to the West and Fengshen Bang, but start with short stories such as Liaozhai.

According to someone, the shorter the story, the more room for adaptation.

There even came to mind the issue of censorship.

Ghosts cannot be seen in Chinese film and television works, so demons should be used instead. They also made a joke that although they couldn't get it accurately, they still found it interesting: Before the founding of the country, it was possible to become a master.

The second is the combination of martial arts and fantasy, and then apply it to some specific historical figures.

There is also a specific case.

It is probably about the story of Di Renjie, a famous official in the Tang Dynasty. Di Renjie was portrayed as a character with both civil and military skills. He first entered Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and encountered a mysterious case of the emperor being poisoned. So he was ordered by the later famous Wu Zetian to find out the truth.

He also mentioned that if the first film is successful, it can be made into a long-term series, similar to Hollywood's 007 series, with one big case for each.

The third is the big-budget urban crime action genre.

Taking into account various restrictions in China, while using Chinese-speaking actors as the protagonists, the scenes can be placed overseas.

Like Chinatown or something.

Then he gave a specific case called Detective Chinatown.

The last one surprised both girls.

main theme.

Someone actually encouraged them to be the main theme?

Well, the first surprise is that the guy knows the main theme.

However, after the other party's introduction in the email, the two girls realized that what someone said was not the main theme they used to, such as tunnel warfare, mine warfare, heroes, or model dramas. Instead, it has an entertaining theme.

Someone's detailed suggestion is to choose some specific Chinese modern historical nodes, and then gather stars, gather stars, gather together to gather stars.

In short, the brighter the stars, the better.

Then, just a string of star rankings is enough to lure audiences into movie theaters. In this way, while the film company gets the box office, it will not delay the effect of entertaining and teaching.

in front of the computer.

The two girls read someone's emails carefully, and they just thought, keep your eyes open and quit.

How could this be possible? !
