Acting school started in 1998

Chapter 283 Grand Cherokee
"Uh...Okay, bro! I'll talk to the factory tomorrow." Zeng Jia was only slightly taken aback, then nodded.

There is often a sentence in the movie lines: what you understand must be implemented, and what you do not understand must be implemented.Zeng Jia knows how to maintain the authority of the boss, and of course she is also optimistic about this place, but she never thought that Li Tang's courage is far greater than her own.

Originally renting this [-]-square-meter office building, she had already taken into account the future development space of the studio, and now she wants to rent the large row of factory buildings in the back, and she doesn't know what to use for a while , it can’t be used as a studio.

Xiaopang didn't get out of the car in a fit of anger, and besides, it was still freezing cold outside, but when he saw Li Tang pointing at Zeng Jia standing in the cold wind, he still couldn't bear it and got out of the car with his coat to help him put it on.

She also stood by and listened for a while, and couldn't help but said: "What are you doing in this shitty place?"

Xiaopang is very smart, but his vision for the future is always limited, but Zeng Jia was able to find this place to impress him. She obviously saw the development prospects of this dilapidated factory building, which is very rare.

He put his arms around Xiaopang's shoulders, but the other party still struggled a little, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Okay, get in the car quickly, it's cold outside."

It is also very convenient to go from the 798 factory area to Paoju Hutong. If there is no traffic jam, it will take about ten minutes at most.

Back in the small courtyard, Xiaopang completely stopped pretending, and went back to the main room angrily.During this period of filming in the capital, she lived here. Originally, there was a little assistant living in the guest room in the west wing to accompany her, but today when the Lord came back, the little assistant would naturally not stay as a light bulb.

Seeing this, Li Tang could only shake his head, instead of going to the main room, he walked to the kitchen in the east wing and took a look, and sure enough, he saw several plates on the dining table.

After washing my hands, I opened it, and there are braised pork ribs, braised prawns, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and stewed tofu with potherb mustard.It doesn't look very good, but you can tell it's Xiaopang's handicraft at a glance.

Seeing this scene, Li Tang felt a little guilty, and after thinking about it, he went to the main room.Children, after all, they have to be coaxed.

It was already an hour later when he came out of the main room again. Xiao Pang was wearing a big red padded pajamas, his face was rosy, his eyes were rippling, he had already forgotten the previous unpleasantness, and he and Li Tang ran into the kitchen in the East Wing .

Siheyuan is a little inconvenient, that is, you have to go outside in winter.Or it can only seal the veranda and connect the left and right wing rooms into one.Including before, he had seen someone put a transparent glass cover on the roof of the yard, which lost the original appearance of the courtyard and looked nondescript.

"Oh, it's all your fault. If you insist on being in such a hurry, the food is cold."

Xiaopang is now perfect in Zhu Bajie's skill of beating and beating, and he didn't know who was in a hurry just now.

To tell you the truth, although the skinny chubby is not too skinny, the experience is still a bit worse than the previous fleshy feeling.

"It's okay, just 'ding' it in the microwave."

As Li Tang said, he was going to get the plates on the table, but he was hit by Xiaopang just as he stretched out his hand, and she blushed and said, "Have you washed your hands? Feel here and there."

"Uh……"

Okay, almost forgot about this one.He subconsciously raised his hand and smelled it, but luckily it didn't smell much, it would be terrible if it smelled like seafood.

"Hey, are you disgusting?" Xiaopang's red face was full of shyness and disgust.

In fact, these are the little fun in life.

Li Tang honestly washed his hands, Xiao Pang heated up several dishes in the microwave.

"You don't eat?"

Li Tang saw that there was only one set of tableware on the table.

Xiaopang shook his head: "I'm used to not eating after noon."

Seeing her calm look, Li Tang was slightly surprised. It seems that the experience of filming "Jade Guanyin" during this period of time has changed her a lot.Just like just now, under normal circumstances, she seldom had a temper tantrum, but now her mind seems to have become a lot more sensitive.

Tsk, this is not good.

Li Tang has read the original novel of "Jade Goddess of Mercy" and the subsequent adaptation of the script. The character of An Xin seems weak, but in fact he is smoldering inside, and he is very uncertain.

There is a saying that high-end hunters often appear as prey.

An Xin has a bit of that meaning.

Li Tang didn't want Xiaopang to be unable to come out because of this role, that would be a bit scary.

"Then you can have a drink or two with me."

He took out a bottle of Moutai from the cabinet.

Normally, Xiaopang would either readily agree or simply refuse, but at this moment he hesitated for a moment before reluctantly saying, "Okay."

Good actors are generally divided into two types. One is called character actors, that is, whether they are acting as princes, generals or ordinary people, they are all people of the same personality, and they all act in their true colors.The other is called one person with thousands of faces, which means that no matter what role you play, you are all vivid, and your personality, behavior, and psychological activities are very different, so it is difficult to judge the true character of an actor.

Li Tang probably belongs to the latter category at present.

But the most fearful thing is that the actors themselves lack concentration and are easily affected by the role, which will lead to a drastic change in personality, and some people may even be unable to get out of it in their entire lives, or simply go to extremes.The most obvious example is the future actor who will play the Joker in Batman.

Fortunately, Xiaopang is just showing signs of this. After drinking two cups, he soon relaxed.

"Why do you rent so many houses in that shabby place?"

That's right, if Li Tang doesn't care about everything, then Li Tang really has to worry.

"Don't look at the rags and rags now, maybe it will be very lively in a few years." Li Tang said with a smile.

"Tch, how do you know? Maybe it will be demolished in a few years, and now everywhere is being demolished and rebuilt." Xiaopang snorted.

With the success of the Olympic bid, Beijing is now entering the cycle of Olympic construction.As Xiaopang said, demolition and construction are happening everywhere.Let me tell you a not-so-funny joke. The year before last, Wang Xiaoshuai made a movie called "17-year-old Bicycle". Zhou Xun even played the role of a babysitter in this movie.One of the very important reasons for the failure to submit for review was that "too many dilapidated alleys were photographed, and the modern side of the capital was not photographed, which affected the Olympic bid."

This may seem nonsensical, but it also reflects the country's emphasis on the Olympic Games from the side. A dilapidated place like 798, especially next to the airport expressway, affects viewing.Therefore, in the eyes of ordinary people, it is very likely that they cannot escape the fate of being demolished.

"That's not necessarily the case. Don't forget that this is the 21st century, and there must be something preserved. By then, it may be transformed into an art center with the imprint of urban development!" Li Tang said with a little emotion.

For example, the huge thermometer made of a chimney at the World Expo in 10, and the Shougang Big Jumping Platform at the Winter Olympics, which he could not come to observe because of the mask, are the most vivid examples of this kind of preservation of the city's imprint.

"That's why you plan to rent so many houses?"

"Yeah, actually, I'm not the only one who thinks that way, Jiajia is also quite optimistic about that."

Xiaopang curled his lips a little dissatisfied: "Well, you all have vision, and I am the only one who is short-sighted. But now there are not many people in your studio, why do you need so many houses? If you want to be the second Landlord?"

Li Tang shook his head: "Look, the studio is always going to be developed, and maybe a small theater will be built in the future."

In fact, from the very beginning, he had the mentality of picking up the leaks, and the rent was only a few cents a day, of course the more the better.But at this moment, he gradually remembered that the future generation is diagonally opposite the huge Ullens Center for Contemporary Art, which is probably the office building he wanted to rent and the factory building behind it, which seems to be a theater. I heard a concert in it, and there is a record company next to it.

Fatty doesn't care about things that are too far away, and she doesn't like them either, so she immediately changed the subject and said, "Oh, by the way, why are you giving me so much money?"

"Oh, you can take it at ease."

Li Tang continued with a smile: "France has already settled the bill and made a lot of money. You can't let your efforts be wasted!"

Since Li Tang didn't take the initiative to mention how much he earned this time, Xiao Pang didn't ask any more questions, just glanced at him, and said lightly: "Okay, then I will keep it for now, and wait until the day you run out of money, then I will pay you back." Speak to me."

"No, you should pay off the loan on your house first, and then renovate it."

Xiaopang has already bought a small apartment with two bedrooms and one living room in the East Third Ring Road. He just got the key recently and has not yet renovated it.

But at this time, she was not happy when she heard it, and said in a choked voice, "Why, do you want to drive me away?"

"Tsk, you know that's not what I mean. Besides, you have to live in a house after buying it. Do you still want to invest?"

But when it comes to investment, Li Tang's heart is moved.In his previous life, he has a deep understanding of how the domestic housing prices will rise to a terrifying level in the next 20 years. The key point is that there is no real estate tax, and he only needs to pay the property fee on time.

Although a lot of money has been spent in the past few days after the money arrives, there are still more than 2000 million in the account.The main reason is that the settlement in France is in US dollars, but it must be exchanged into RMB in China.

This number is somewhat scary these days, but if you want to say that all of them are invested in movies or something, it is risky on the one hand and unrealistic on the other.He does have the idea of ​​investing in real estate. For example, during this period of time in Pudong, Shanghai, there is a real estate called Shimao Riverside Garden that is very popular. double.However, as far as he knows, there will be a real estate near the Shimao Riverside Garden called Tomson Yipin in more than ten years. The rate of return is more than 20%, it is simply picking up money!

Of course, his understanding of housing prices in the capital is more intuitive. In his previous life, his parents bought a villa by chance for the future, and he didn't want to double it later.The appreciation of this set of villas alone exceeds the savings they have worked hard for all their lives in the United States.

So he planned to turn around and ask Zeng Jia to help him inquire about the real estate in the capital. The best location is naturally the area around the East Third Ring Road. The house price of six to seven thousand per square meter is simply a low price.

……

Xiaopang only rested for one night, and devoted himself to the filming of "Jade Guanyin" the next day, and continued to work day and night, often going out at eight or nine in the morning and returning at eleven or twelve in the evening, and once even filmed for a whole night .

Li Tang has not been idle for the past few days, and has to run around in all aspects of his relationship.His idea is very simple, Chinese New Year, the biggest festival for Chinese people, the necessary etiquette is still required, as for the gift, it is a heart, the etiquette is light and the affection is important.

But what's interesting is that this year, someone came to pay him New Year's greetings.For example, Jia Yuling, the little assistant when she was filming "Shooting the Condors", got her wish last year and was admitted to the junior college class of Chinese opera, but I don't know what she thought, but she actually applied for a major in cross talk performance.

You say a girl is talking about cross talk?

Li Tang was really dumbfounded when he found out.This little girl's family conditions are average, especially last year when her mother died in a car accident. She is always miserable. Seeing some local specialties she brought, Li Tang couldn't bear it, so he insisted on keeping her for a meal.After Xiaopang heard the news, he asked for leave and hurried back from the set.

When he heard that Jia Yuling often used her spare time to run around with the crew, Xiao Pang asked with concern, "Hey, Linger, are you going back for the New Year?"

Although Xiao Jia is always smiling and harmless to humans and animals, he is actually very clever, and he can hear the undertones in Xiaopang's words as soon as he hears it.She originally wanted to come back, but at this time she put on a look of embarrassment and said: "It's not yet decided, I still want to stay to see if there is a chance, if there is no chance, it will be too late to go home for the New Year."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiaopang said in a big way: "Hey, since this is the case, you can hang out with me, come to our film crew tomorrow, and I will help you arrange it, so that you won't be bumping around like a headless chicken. "

Jia Yuling obviously couldn't get what she wanted, but she still rubbed her hands and said shyly, "Sister Bingbing, won't I cause you any trouble?"

Li Tang was observing. From this point of view, Xiao Jia must be a good actor in the future.

Fatty, on the other hand, showed complete disapproval, and waved his hand: "It's okay, I'll just tell the assistant director later."

The female number one spoke, let alone a special contract or something, even a small supporting role is a matter of one sentence.

……

The lease of the workshop and office building at 798 has finally been negotiated.This area is a state-owned asset, and it cannot be sold, it can only be leased.With the start of the Olympic construction, the factory is also looking forward to the day when it will be demolished.It is also under such uncertain factors that the rent is not high, and the lease contract is basically two or three years, no more than five years.

When Zeng Jia proposed to rent an office building and a factory building with an area of ​​more than 1000 square meters, the lease period was even 20 years, which even alarmed the factory leaders.

At this time, Li Tang's aura played a role. The so-called artist studios in the 798 factory area are all third- and fourth-rate artists. In addition to looking forward to demolition, there are indeed some art centers that want to build an artist village like the artist village, but the hardware is not enough to attract fame and family. artist.

Although Li Tang is just an actor, strictly speaking, he also belongs to the category of artist, a young performing artist!The establishment of Li Tang's studio here is undoubtedly a living sign, and he is still a big spender. In addition to working here, he also needs to build a small theater integrating training and performances.

There is nothing else in 798, there are houses, but the 20-year lease period is indeed a bit exaggerated. According to their thinking, it is still a question of whether it will exist here after five years.

But Zeng Jia insisted that after a few rounds of wrangling, the lease period was finally set at 15 years. Of course, if force majeure such as demolition occurred, the contract would be automatically terminated.

The rent is given a certain discount. The small office building and factory buildings add up to 20 yuan per year.The annual rent increases by 10%. Li Tang Studio still has the preferred right to renew the contract under the same conditions when the contract expires.

In addition, in view of the current situation of small office buildings and factories, Zeng Jia won another three-month free decoration period.

The factory is not without conditions. Li Tang was required to attend in person when signing the contract, mainly to confirm the authenticity, lest someone use Li Tang's name to bluff and deceive.

Li Tang not only attended the scene in person, but also, as the legal person of Li Tang's studio, signed the lease contract in person.The factory leaders are also very happy. Although they seem to be quite high-level, they are always bureaucrats or something, but to put it bluntly, a company leader on the verge of bankruptcy may only have so-called levels left, and there are not many opportunities for close contact with celebrities. .

Ever since, the factory arranged for everyone to get together and praise each other.

Although Li Tang was very restrained, the factory leaders at the bureau level were too enthusiastic, and he really drank a lot during the lunch meal.

"Teacher Li, we're here!"

The commercial vehicle stopped in front of a fitness center next to Tuanjie Lake Park. There are gymnasiums, bowling alleys, and a popular taekwondo gym. It is said that most of the coaches are sticks.Recently, Xiaopang has been filming here.Today Li Tang agreed to come to visit the class.

As soon as the car stopped, the door was opened from the outside, and Jia Yuling, who was wearing a blue overalls, was smiling.

"Brother, here we come!"

Li Tang got out of the car and took a deep breath of the cold air. The heater was on and the smell of alcohol was mixed in the car, and he felt much better now.

He glanced at Jia Yuling, like a sanitation worker, and couldn't help asking, "What are you doing here?"

Jia Yuling hurriedly said proudly: "Sister Bingbing helped me find a special contract to play the role of a cleaner in a Taekwondo gym. She and Sister Bingbing are still playing opposite each other."

An Xin in the script also worked part-time in a taekwondo gym, and then met the third man in her life, Yang Rui, the male number one in the play.The cleaner played by Jia Yuling is probably an assured worker or something.

Li Tang nodded, and was about to raise his legs to go in when he suddenly saw a huge Jeep Grand Cherokee galloping not far away, and with the sound of "creaking" tires rubbing against the ground, the car stopped steadily.

The car immediately caught his eye.

Jeep Grand Cherokee is quite rare in China, and Li Tang knows that even in the United States, such an eight-cylinder 5.7-displacement Grand Cherokee costs at least 80 to [-] US dollars. If it is in China, it will cost [-] million dollars!

　Two-in-one, have the audacity to ask for a guaranteed monthly pass!
