Chapter 354 Don’t! There are people here, it can’t be done!
Fan Binbin is an insider and knows the income status of new directors in their early stages.
For example, Ning Hao, who made the movie "Crazy Stone" with the script and director, was only paid 100,000 yuan.
Wang Shu has certainly passed this stage as he became famous, otherwise he would not have opened a film and television company.
But there is a cycle for a movie to be self-financed and earn profits.
It can be as short as one or two years, or as long as several years.
In addition, Wang Shu has invested in and produced many film and television projects, as well as the company’s operating expenses, etc.
Nine times out of ten, Wang Shu has no spare money.
If nothing else, let’s just say that Wang Shu debuted in 2004 and became famous in 2005. It was not until the end of 2007 that he stopped renting a house and bought a villa.
And what I bought was a villa in the suburbs.
This all shows that Wang Shu does not have much spare money on hand.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have delayed buying a house until now, let alone buy a villa in a remote place like the suburbs.
"Why do you suddenly want to buy a villa?" Fan Binbin was silent for a moment, and then asked about this topic as if nothing happened.
Wang Shu sighed and said: "House prices are getting higher and higher. They suddenly dropped a lot at the end of this month. Take advantage of this opportunity to buy one quickly."
"The Olympics are next year. After the Olympics, housing prices in Beijing will only get higher and higher.”
"You can save money if you buy early."
"Are you so sure that housing prices in Beijing will rise instead of fall?" Fan Binbin couldn't help but ask, "Aren't they falling now? Wait a minute. Maybe it can fall even lower.”
In 2007, housing prices in Beijing rose throughout the year, but suddenly plunged at the end of December.
As a result, many people feel that the previous rise in housing prices in Beijing was too weak. This time the plunge has not yet reached the bottom, and there is still room for further decline.
The Waiting Party then took over the right to speak.
However, the reality is that housing prices in Beijing have plummeted now, and then are either rising or on the way to rising.
And the increase is scary.
“Think too much.” Wang Shu kindly pointed out to Fan Binbin, “After the Olympics, Beijing will only become more and more international.”
“Let me ask, as it becomes more and more international, every inch of land In the capital city, are housing prices likely to fall? "
"There is only one possibility, and that is to keep rising. "
Wang Shu only said that housing prices would rise and did not suggest that Fan Binbin speculate in real estate.
Every real estate speculator, one by one, is an accomplice to the high housing prices across the country.
It is true that there is another person leading the country’s high housing prices.
However, as long as there is no real estate speculation, no matter how much you dominate, housing prices will not be so high.
If it was a matter of film and television, Fan Binbin believed Wang Shu’s analysis.
As for housing prices in the capital
Wang Shu is from a rural area and his education is not high. Fan Binbin doesn’t think Wang Shu has this in mind.
On professional matters, you must listen to the advice of professionals, rather than listening to the nonsense of people who have nothing in their stomachs.
Fan Binbin didn’t want to continue discussing this issue with Wang Shu, so he immediately answered: “Let’s not talk about it anymore. I don’t care whether it goes up or down. Now that I have opened a studio, I have to spend money everywhere. I have no money to buy a house.”
Wang Shu smacked his lips when he heard this.
The so-called star studio is similar to a shell company, and it doesn’t cost much at all.
Not only does it not cost much, it can also avoid taxes.
Wang Shu knew that Fan Binbin felt that his analysis was not authoritative on the issue of housing prices in the capital, and he did not want to waste time listening to his nonsense on this topic.
In this regard, he saw through it without saying anything.
After Fan Binbin finished speaking, he immediately smiled and said: "As the saying goes, it's a housewarming. You bought a house and moved there, why don't you celebrate it?"
Wang Shu had already prepared an answer for this question. He said: "Buying a house in the suburbs means no housewarming. It's boring."
"Haha." Fan Binbin laughed happily after hearing this.
She understood what Wang Shu meant. Now that Wang Shu was a big director, he had to buy a villa in the city and hold a housewarming party to gain face.
Buying a villa in the suburbs is not considered a respectable thing for a great director. If he holds a housewarming party again, wouldn't he make himself uncomfortable?
Fan Binbin expressed understanding.
She immediately said: "I have set up a studio, and I haven't asked you to have dinner with me yet. You just come back from Hollywood. Do you have time tomorrow? How about we get together?"
It is already after midnight. , that is, December 31, 2007.
According to time, tomorrow refers to New Year's Day.
Actually, at the discourse level, it only refers to December 31st, not New Year's Day tomorrow.
"Okay." Wang Shu responded.
Fan Binbin called so late, and even went to the community where he rented a house before, and the relationship between the two was there.
It is difficult to refuse both emotionally and rationally, so Wang Shu naturally agreed.
"Okay, it's settled." Fan Binbin heard Wang Shu agree and responded with a smile.
Then he chatted with Wang Shu for a while. Since Wang Shu took the initiative to remind him that it was too late, Fan Binbin also knew that Wang Shu didn't like to stay up late, so he hung up the phone.
At noon the next day, Wang Shu drove to the place Fan Binbin had decided.
When I walked in, I saw not only Fan Binbin, but also her manager Mu Xiaoguang.
Before Fan Binbin left Huayi, although Mu Xiaoguang was not Fan Binbin’s agent in name, he was almost the same in reality.
When Fan Binbin left Huayi to set up a studio, Mu Xiaoguang immediately became Fan Binbin's agent and managed all her affairs.
In fact, Fan Binbin’s ability to go higher and further step by step is inseparable from Mu Xiaoguang’s connections.
Without Mu Xiaoguang's support for Fan Binbin, Fan Binbin would not have been able to escape so easily under Huayi's targeting, let alone having a lot of resources from Hong Kong and Taiwan afterwards.
When the resource period of Hong Kong Island ended, Fan Binbin joined Jiayin again.
With the support of printing, we have obtained mainland resources.
"Hello, Director Wang, I am Mu Xiaoguang, Binbin's agent. I used to develop in Baodao, but now I come north to the capital."
Mu Xiaoguang saw Wang Shu came in and greeted him warmly.
“I’ve admired you for a long time.” Wang Shu extended his hand to avoid hitting the smiling man, and Wang Shu responded politely immediately.
"Director Wang, please sit down." Mu Xiaoguang then asked Wang Shu to take a seat.
Fan Binbin also smiled and said: "Director Wang, take a seat. Brother Mu is my agent. Come and have a drink with you."
The three of them chatted for a while and sat down one after another.
Then Mu Xiaoguang talked eloquently, talking about his feelings about coming to the mainland, and mentioning his experiences in Baodao and Hong Kong Island.
Hiddenly saying that he has many connections in the Hong Kong and Taiwan entertainment circles, he is not just a simple agent.
"Director Wang, what do you think of Binbin? Is she expected to become the next mainland actress to go international?" While eating and drinking, Mu Xiaoguang seemed to be deliberately pouring wine on Wang Shu. After drinking a lot, he suddenly asked with a smile.
Wang Shu didn’t like drinking liquor. Fan Binbin knew this, but today he pretended not to notice and allowed Mu Xiaoguang to persuade him to drink.
Seeing this, Wang Shu knew what kind of medicine Fan Binbin's gourd was selling. After pretending to decline several times, he followed Mu Xiaoguang's enthusiastic persuasion and started drinking with him.
Mu Xiaoguang thought that Wang Shu was giving him face, and the smile on his face continued, and he gradually became drunk.
"Who is the next international actress? Isn't sister Binbin already an international actress?" Wang Shu looked careless.
Since the movie "Apple" went to the Berlin Film Festival, Fan Binbin stepped on the red carpet and attracted much attention from the international media. She was subsequently called by the domestic media as another mainland actress who has gone global.
Therefore, even if Wang Shu is trying to be careless, there is indeed nothing wrong with his words.
"What kind of international actress is that?" Mu Xiaoguang, who was already drunk, didn't care at all that Fan Binbin was next to him and directly dismissed the title.
When Fan Binbin heard this, he just gave Mu Xiaoguang a look of dissatisfaction and was not angry.
Because he would have to rely on Mu Xiaoguang's help in the future, how could he be angry and dissatisfied over such a trivial matter.
She still knows this clearly.
Mu Xiaoguang opened his mouth and said: "International actresses are far from just going to European film festivals. At the very least, they must have starred in Hollywood blockbusters like Zhang Ziyi and Gong Li."
“Calling yourself an international actress just by going to a European film festival is just a way for the domestic media to put money on your face.”
“My family knows my own affairs, what kind of international status is this? Actress? ”
"Director Wang, to tell you the truth, I am very optimistic about Binbin."
"She is no worse than Zhang Ziyi and Gong Li in all aspects."
"Now she has been internationally recognized through the Berlin Film Festival. With the attention of the media, I believe that sooner or later, Binbin will be able to not only catch up with Zhang Ziyi and Gong Li, but even surpass them."
Wang Shu's eyes turned subconsciously when he heard Mu Xiaoguang's words. I looked at the table and found no peanuts.
If there are peanuts, definitely pass them to him.
It is undeniable that Fan Binbin is indeed beautiful.
Just because of Xiao Pang’s acting skills, it’s out of reach to catch up with Zhang Ziyi and Gong Li, let alone surpass them.
There is everything in dreams.
Fan Binbin. In fact, like Christine, he relies on his face to make a living.
Any actor who relies on his reputation and cannot calm down to hone his acting skills will never be able to get up no matter how hard he jumps.
Wang Shu was eating and listening, but didn't answer.
Seeing that Wang Shu was silent, Mu Xiaoguang immediately asked: "Director Wang, what do you think?"
"Well, Sister Binbin is indeed excellent." Wang Shu continued to type. Sloppy eyes.
He didn't want to accept it today and tomorrow the rumor would come out from Mu Xiaoguang's mouth that "Wang Shu himself said that Fan Binbin will surpass Zhang Ziyi and Gong Li sooner or later in the future."
He wasn't worried about offending Zhang Ziyi and Gong Li, he just didn't want to be slapped in the face in the future.
Mu Xiaoguang smiled and said: "Binbin is good at everything, but he lacks opportunities."
Wang Shu knew what Mu Xiaoguang would say next, and it would be nothing more than mentioning his cooperation with China Film. The new film he’s filming, and things about Fan Binbin’s role.
There is so much foreshadowing, there is no reason not to talk about it.
So he quickly answered, "Drink, let's drink again."
Seeing Wang Shu holding the cup, Mu Xiaoguang had to give face and had to swallow the words that came to his lips. Then he clinked his glasses and drank.
Mu Xiaoguang was just about to say more when he heard Wang Shuver's track: "Actually, international things are just like that."
After saying that, he asked again, "I went to Hollywood some time ago and you all know that. Right?"
"I know." Mu Xiaoguang swallowed the words on his lips again and nodded cooperatively.
"Hollywood" Wang Shu continued to talk about what he saw and heard as a director in Hollywood. At the same time, he would raise glasses to clink glasses with Mu Xiaoguang from time to time. By the way, he also brought Fan Binbin to clink glasses and drink together.
During this period, Mu Xiaoguang was always looking for an opportunity to say what he wanted to say, while Fan Binbin looked a little anxious as he sat aside.
However, Wang Shu seemed to have started talking after drinking, and kept talking, so that Mu Xiaoguang never found a chance.
In the end, Mu Xiaoguang lay down drunkenly on the table and fell asleep while Wang Shu was still talking.
Wang Shu is in good health and has a good alcohol capacity, but he doesn’t like liquor very much, so he doesn’t drink it.
Mu Xiaoguang's drinking capacity is also very good, but when compared with Wang Shu, it is far behind.
No, Mu Xiaoguang has collapsed drunk, but Wang Shu is still sober.
Wang Shu pretended to be drunk and looked at Fan Binbin aside, and asked innocently: "Why are you asleep?"
Fan Binbin drank relatively little and was still awake. She sighed. , responded helplessly: "She must be drunk."
She brought Mu Xiaoguang with her because she wanted to use Mu Xiaoguang's sharp tongue to explain things and move them emotionally. to help her win the role.
Unexpectedly, Wang Shu, who didn’t drink much, was still standing, but Mu Xiaoguang, who could drink, fell down.
Unexpected.
When Wang Shu heard what Fan Binbin said, he gave her a naive smile, and then pretended to be drunk and held Fan Binbin's hand.
"No, there is someone."
Fan Binbin was startled by Wang Shu's movements and secretly glanced at Mu Xiaoguang, fearing that Mu Xiaoguang would suddenly sit up and see their movements. , said quickly in panic.
Right now, the relationship between Fan Binbin and Mu Xiaoguang is very close.
It was later that the two maintained a relationship and did not interfere with each other.
Therefore, Fan Binbin was very nervous, worried that Mu Xiaoguang would suddenly open his eyes and see her and Wang Shula having sex.
"Asleep." Wang Shu answered drunkenly.
"Not even if you fall asleep." Fan Binbin responded with an anxious expression.
"It's okay." Wang Shu pulled Fan Binbin reluctantly. No matter how much Fan Binbin resisted, he couldn't break away from his strength. Finally, with a panicked look on his face, Wang Shu pulled him and sat on his lap.
"Farewell" Fan Binbin kept struggling, but did not dare to make too much noise to make Wang Shu angry. At the same time, he was also worried about waking up Mu Xiaoguang.
However, her level of struggle was completely out of Wang Shu's control, and there was even a sense of wanting to resist but to welcome him.
Wang Shu couldn't bear it anymore and kissed her immediately.
"Don't!" Fan Binbin quickly covered her lips with his hand, causing Wang Shu to kiss the back of her hand.
Seeing Wang Shu's confused eyes and worrying that Wang Shu would be angry, Chu Chu pitifully said quickly: "There is someone here, don't be like this, it won't work."
"Aren't you asleep?" Wang Shu's eyes were puzzled, and then he added, "Besides, he is your manager. Even if he suddenly wakes up and sees it, he won't say anything."
"No need to be nervous."
