Meiyu: I don’t care about the cost when making movies

Chapter 13 Big is the way to go!

Wayne took Mia, who was equally excited, to the car dealership to pick up a Ferrari F360, which was just launched this year.

From the perspective of his descendants from a parallel world, other cars and sports cars of this period were too vulgar, and only the F360, which had just undergone major changes, was the most fashionable and pleasing to the eye.

Afterwards, Wayne drove the newly acquired black F360 and drove Mia to Beverly Hills, where he found the real estate agent he had made an appointment with yesterday and started looking at the house.

If he were asked to choose between Beverly Hills, Malibu, Santa Monica and other wealthy areas ten years later, he might still hesitate.

After all, Malibu’s incomparable ocean views are quite attractive.

But in 2000, he would definitely have chosen Beverly Hills.

Although this place has been badly written in many time-travel novels, the fact is that the environment here is indeed the best in Los Angeles, and because there are too many rich people, the police force is several times or even more than ten times that of other areas, and the police are very concerned about public security. Maintenance is very attentive.

This is very important in America every day!
Especially now that the police are not serious, if a strange black man enters here, he will be immediately questioned by the police patrolling the streets. If he dares to make any move, he will directly empty the magazine. The security is much better than other places.

"Hello, are you Mr. Anderson? Oh my God! You are so handsome!"

The agent was a 30-year-old man named Kyle Smith. He was wearing a crisp suit and his hair was meticulously done. He was very enthusiastic when he saw Wayne.

He has a new Ferrari sports car and plans to buy a house in Beverly Hills with a budget of between 1000 million and 1500 million. This is definitely a super big customer for him.

"Based on your needs, I have screened out seven properties for you. Please follow me."

Fifteen minutes later, Wayne followed Kyle's car and arrived at a mountainside manor with an area of ​​more than 15 square meters and a construction area of ​​more than 6000 square meters. The main building was in modern style and had 2700 bedrooms and 14 bathrooms.

Yes, there are more bathrooms than bedrooms, which is a unique phenomenon due to the party culture here in Millikin.

"The original owner of this villa is a Wall Street financier. After the investment failed last year, it was listed for sale at US$2600 million. If you can pay in full in cash, I am very confident that I can help you negotiate the price below US$1500 million. You From here, the infinity pool extending from the indoor area overlooks the entire Los Angeles city. Whether it is a clear day or night, the view from here is absolutely beautiful."

While listening to Kyle's introduction and visiting the villa, Wayne couldn't help but nod secretly.

With an area of ​​more than 6000 square meters and a building area of ​​more than 2000 square meters, only 1500 million is too cheap. After all, this is Beverly Hills.

If the original historical trajectory is followed, housing prices in Milicia will grow rapidly. At its peak, such a villa can be sold for at least 8000 to [-] million US dollars.

Even if the real estate bubble bursts, it will not be lower than it is now, so this price is already quite a bargain.

The only drawback is that the so-called overlooking the entire Los Angeles can actually only see part of downtown Los Angeles. The scenery is good, but not great.

Next, Wayne followed him to see the remaining mansions.

One of his favorites is a hilltop mansion north of Sunset Boulevard.

Although this mansion only covers an area of ​​2100 square meters and has a construction area of ​​only 1200 square meters, because it is located on Sunset Boulevard, which is closer to the city, and because it is located on the top of a mountain, the view is really good, with a 270-degree view, which is truly overlooking the entire Los Angeles.

But in the end, after hesitating for a long time, Wayne chose the original manor-style mansion.

The view from the mansion on the top of the mountain is indeed very good, but it also leads to poor privacy. There are villas on several hills around it. If you have a good eye, you can directly see each other playing in the outdoor swimming pool without using binoculars.

And for men, being big is king.

The next morning, with Kyle's efforts, he successfully bought the manor mansion that had been renamed 'Wayne Manor' for US$1470 million.

Since the original owner only took away a few of the more valuable works of art and some valuable wines in the wine cellar, and kept all the other furniture and decorations, he only needed to ask the housekeeping company to clean them up and replace some of them. You can just move in without any unpleasant artwork and furniture.

Through Kyle, Wayne contacted a housekeeping company and spent $[-] to clean up the villa and courtyard.

There's nothing I can do about it, the house is big and that's the disadvantage.

In addition, such a large villa will definitely need maids and chefs, and these are also introduced by the housekeeping company.

After a simple interview, he left behind three maids in their early 20s with good looks and figures, and one who has more than 20 years of experience as a chef, has won many awards, and is very good at French and Italian cuisine. , spanish cuisine chef.The monthly salary of three maids is [-] US dollars, and the monthly salary of the chef is [-] US dollars. The total monthly salary of this part is nearly [-] US dollars.

In addition to other expenses such as food procurement and villa maintenance, it costs about 12 to 15 US dollars per month, which is about 180 million US dollars a year.

If you include real estate taxes, it’s 200 million.

"."

"Two million dollars to live for a year?!"

"Isn't this too expensive?! No wonder, except for a few first-line stars, directors, and producers, most of them live in ordinary villas in the 'flat area' south of Sunset Boulevard! They can't even afford to buy them." !”

Wayne couldn't help but complain silently.

Even though he is now a rich man, he couldn't help but be shocked after getting this number.

"What are you thinking honey?"

A gust of fragrant wind came across the room, and Mia, who had just been busy all day long in excitement, sat directly on his lap wearing an imaginative silk bathrobe after taking a shower.

"I didn't think about it. It's about the new script." Wayne came back to his senses and said.

In the past few days, he has received more than 40 new scripts from Serra one after another. Although he had not read some of them in his previous life, he thought they were pretty good.

In addition, he also selected several more suitable movies based on his past life memories, such as "Girl Genius", "Butterfly Effect", and "Happy Death Day".

These are all excellent works that have received both word-of-mouth and box office success, and the cost and filming difficulty are not high.

So he has been struggling with how to choose for the past two days.

"Don't think about this now. You have thought too much in the past two days. You should change your mood now and think about how to hold our housewarming party." Mia said with a smile.

The housewarming party is one of the American traditions.

Wayne smiled bitterly when he heard this and said, "You know I don't have many friends at school, so I'd rather leave this kind of thing to a professional party planning company."

Thanks to the party culture here in America, there are many professional queue planning companies here that can provide one-stop services without employers having to worry about it.

"Okay," Mia didn't mind after hearing this and said with a smile: "I'm going to call Emily and Kate over. These Bitches will definitely be shocked and regret it to death~"

"."

Wayne couldn't help but be slightly startled, and a strange look flashed across his face.

If he remembered correctly, that Emily was the ex-girlfriend who dumped him before. Although she was very beautiful, even prettier than Mia according to Millikin's beauty standards, she had no brains.

It is said that he has slept with at least dozens of people in the past year, and so far he has only played supporting roles with only a few lines in some small-budget independent films with an investment of no more than 100 million.

He has not earned fame, nor has he earned any money. His income is not as high as that of actresses in the San Fernando Valley next door. He really doesn't know how to evaluate it.

"Forget it about Emily, I don't want to see her." Wayne said.

Mia couldn't help but curiously asked after hearing this: "My dear, are you still unable to let go of Emily? If you still can't let her go, you can let her come back, I don't mind."

Wayne turned pale at him angrily and said calmly: "I just think she's dirty."

Mia was stunned for a moment after hearing this, a thoughtful look flashed across her ice blue pupils, her slender white arms subconsciously wrapped around his neck, and rested her head on his shoulder.
