Chapter 125 Future Stars
Agent Jiang Shixi helped collect a lot of information.

Fan Wumian understood that the current market price was about the same.

At the end of January 2005.

The average price of ordinary commercial housing in Yanjing is five to six thousand yuan. There are also many old courtyard houses on the market, with the price per square meter being around 9600 yuan.

This courtyard house with two entrances next to Houhai is priced relatively high because of its new architecture and decoration and its particularly good location.

Calculated based on building area.

The price per square meter has reached 2 yuan, which is four or five times the price of commercial housing. It is definitely a sky-high price.

Yanjing courtyard houses are not expensive now, and were even cheaper before 2003.

The prices of buildings have not skyrocketed yet, so why would the prices of bungalows and courtyard houses increase?

Seeing that Fan Wumian really wanted to buy it.

Director Cai Hu didn't say anything and called his superior to inform him and ask about the situation.

The general manager of this forum newspaper was currently receiving intensive training outside. He was particularly happy when he heard the news.

Newspaper sales continued to decline, and the situation became so difficult that the newspaper could no longer be run.

Since there is no funding from above, they need to raise funds on their own and find ways to save themselves. If they can get this 1460 million, it will be enough to do a lot of things.

but.

I didn't dare to say too much.

After all, it is not a private enterprise, and whether the contract can be signed or not still needs approval from the higher-ups.

After understanding the situation, Fan Wumian did not dare to put all his hopes on this courtyard house with a two-story back house. He continued to take Jiang Shixi and Pu Jiajing to see several other houses nearby.

There are actually many courtyards covering an area of ​​more than 600 square meters, and most of them are very old.

Otherwise, the location is not as good as Yaer Hutong, which is outside the Second Ring Road.

Otherwise, they are dilapidated and have traces of being a slum, full of illegal buildings and garbage.

Some houses don't even have heating, toilets, and their roofs have collapsed long ago.

As a star, a "collapse of reputation" is not a good sign.

Although the prices of these old courtyard houses are relatively cheap, some of them are only sold for 6-7 million RMB, but Fan Wumian is really not interested in them and does not want to waste time and energy to slowly renovate and clean them up.
Busy until the afternoon.

A real estate agent named Wang, after showing three houses in succession, found that Fan Wumian didn't want any of them.

It's rare to meet a potential buyer with strong financial resources.

Wang Jiejie took the opportunity to tell:

"I sold two demolished houses last year, and with my savings over the years, I just raised enough money to buy a small courtyard house. I had planned to live there myself."

"I didn't expect my son to be so hardworking and get admitted to the Technical University of Munich in Germany. The tuition fee is tens of thousands a year."

"Because I'm short of money recently, and I'm planning to take my wife and children abroad to study in Germany, so I can sell it to you at a low price. Although the area is a bit small, it's really nice to live there. I'm in this business, so my vision is absolutely impeccable."

When I heard this.

The expression on Fan Wumian's face was particularly wonderful.

I've heard of such a fool before, but I never thought I'd meet a living one!

Let’s not talk about selling the house in Yanjing in order to go abroad.

Going to Germany to study at university is also a deep pit.

He once had a high school classmate who went to Germany to study for seven years but has not yet graduated, which is the exact opposite of the "strict admission and lenient graduation" policy of mainland universities.

If you fail to meet the requirements for obtaining a degree certificate, you will really be held back.

That classmate also posted on WeChat Moments, writing
——"Don't be afraid of the three years at a German university, because these five years will become the most meaningful seven years of your life."

Fan Wumian was deeply impressed.

After asking, I found out.

That so-called boutique courtyard is located in Nanluoguxiang, and you can see the Drum Tower from the terrace.

It covers an area of ​​291 square meters and has a construction area of ​​206 square meters. It is sold for a total of only 298 million yuan, and people can live in it directly as long as they add some furniture.

Fan Wumian was instantly intrigued and replied, "Okay, let's go take a look in your car. Do you have the keys with you?"

"On my body! Oh, you guys said before that we only needed a large courtyard with two or three entrances. If I had known earlier, I would have gone to clean it up."

The agent, Lao Wang, was a little excited.

There are many courtyard houses listed on the market, but only about one-tenth of them can be sold successfully every year.

Currently, there are still certain restrictions on the sale of Siheyuan houses in the trading market.

In addition, the prices are too high. Even if the bank agrees to issue a loan, the down payment ratio is relatively high, resulting in most buyers coming from Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan and other places abroad.

As there were relatively few suitable buyers, the real estate agent, Lao Wang, was worried that he would end up losing money.

The thought of making three or four hundred thousand dollars just by selling it made me happy.

His heart was on fire.

It took a few minutes on the way.

When we arrived near Nanluoguxiang, we parked the Santana on the side of the road. The agent, Lao Wang, led the way and drove to the courtyard house he had purchased with ease.

In the small courtyard as soon as you enter.

Although the garden is small, it is well maintained and there is a relatively thick ginkgo tree in the corner.

In winter, the ginkgo trees lose all their leaves, leaving a thick layer of dead leaves covered by snow on the ground.

The area is a little small and the decoration is a bit ordinary, but considering the excellent geographical location of this courtyard house and the overall environment inside and outside, it can indeed be called a "small boutique".

After a brief visit.

Fan Wumian thought that if the transaction was successful and he bought the courtyard house with a two-story building, it would be inconvenient to let his employees work at home.

After all, they could see the backyard and the main house from the second floor, with no privacy at all.

I think it would be a good idea to buy a small courtyard like this and use it as my office in Yanjing.

If you spend money to find an office building and rent a place to start a company, it will be gone once you pay the rent. But if you directly buy a small courtyard house, you can wait for it to appreciate in value.

After talking with the agent, Lao Wang, the price was reduced to 295 million, and Fan Wumian readily agreed to buy it.

Afterwards, half jokingly and half seriously, he said to Lao Wang:
"It's a sale, and the payment and goods are settled. I don't know much about the laws in the mainland, and I'm a little worried that I'll get into trouble in the future. It's best to write the clauses that cannot be revoked later into the contract."

It is really rare to find a good buyer like Fan Wumian who only sees the house once and immediately agrees to the deal.

The agent, Lao Wang, was thinking about going to Germany to work and earn euros. He was just happy that he had sold the house, so he quickly agreed and patted his chest and smiled:

"Ha ha!"

"Of course, no problem. How can you sell a house and then pursue it later?"

"I have all the formalities for this small courtyard. My name is the only one on the property deed. Once the transfer is completed, it will be yours. Don't worry at all!"

Agent Jiang Shixi reminded:
"Since it's your own house, the agent's commission shouldn't be counted, right?"

"Okay, if you guys are straightforward, I won't hesitate. But according to the industry rules, you have to pay the transfer fees yourself."

"no problem……"

Fan Wumian walked up the small wooden stairs and came to the small terrace on the roof of the west wing again.

Not only can you see the Drum Tower, but you can also see a corner of the archway of "Yandaixie Street" across the street. The courtyard house in this location is only sold for 295 million, which is really hard to bear.

I made an impulse purchase, but it felt really good.

On the way back to the hotel.

Fan Wumian discussed with Jiang Shixi and decided to simply decorate the small courtyard after the payment was completed.

In the future, it will be used as a personal studio and the Beijing office of Bandit King Media. We will also recruit several talents from the film, television and music industries to be responsible for the work here.

Many film, television and music companies set up their headquarters in Yanjing to facilitate future dealings with their peers.

Back to the hotel.

Rest until evening.

Due to the time difference, Miss Zuo, who was far away in London, had just woken up and the news came late. She asked him through QQ whether he had settled down.

Fan Wumian was just about to go out to eat hotpot, so after briefly introducing what happened today, he asked her when she would return to Hong Kong City.

Zuo Ziyan typed a reply saying
——"My mom has already booked a flight for tomorrow. She wants to visit the set of A Quiet Place when the time comes. While you're away, she'll ask the staff if you've developed a crush on your childhood sweetheart."

Obviously still cares.

Fan Wumian was speechless for a long time.

Replied - "She and I have only been neighbors for two years. How can we call them childhood sweethearts? Only the kind of innocent people who are close friends can be considered childhood sweethearts. I asked you if you wanted to act in a movie, but you rejected me miserably."

Zuo Ziyan soon sent a new message
——"I have to interview, and I have to play the role of a pregnant woman who is pregnant with your baby. How embarrassing."

"It's okay. I'll let you be the heroine next time I have the chance."

Fan Wumian talked about this and that and finally managed to change the subject so that his girlfriend would ignore the fact that he was filming a movie with Zhuang Muxi.

The chat lasted more than half an hour.

After eating hot pot in Wangfujing Street, I took a walk in Nanluoguxiang and returned to the hotel to write until late at night.

Nothing major happened the next day.

I only met with the teacher of the art exam training class once, and practiced recitation and dancing on the spur of the moment to prepare for the second round of interviews in advance.

There is no problem with recitation, but there is no need to master dancing.

If you really can't dance, some candidates can just do radio gymnastics and still have a chance to pass, as it mainly depends on your body shape rather than your dancing skills.

Although I have taken the exam once, the arrangements for the acting and directing majors are different.

The directing department has many written examination subjects, and the preliminary examination for the acting major actually includes a group skit performance.

2 month 2 number.

Get up at around six in the morning.

After washing up, carefully tidy up your clothes and hairstyle.

After eating and drinking to our heart’s content, we went downstairs and got into the car that the hotel had arranged for us, and arrived at the gate of Beijing Film Academy in advance.

At 7:40 in the morning, a large group of candidates had already gathered at the school gate.

When they saw Fan Wumian, many candidates were stunned. They couldn't understand why they met the recently popular "Little Prince of Love Songs" in such an occasion.

Many girls didn't care that their parents were present. They were so excited that they stamped their feet and screamed. Everyone was whispering to each other, wondering whether Fan Wumian was there to take the exam.

Some well-informed reporters who had come to stake out Fan Wumian in advance had been waiting for his arrival.

A TV reporter carrying a camera rushed over at full speed to grab a spot.

The beautiful host followed closely behind, and after confirming that the recording had started, she immediately took the microphone and said:

"Student Fan Wumian, are you here to take the art exam as well? Which major are you going to take today?"

"Yes, I'm here to take an exam, majoring in acting."

Fan Wumian finished speaking with a smile, and the female host continued to ask:
"As far as I know, you are currently directing and acting in a movie. Did you discover any problems during the filming? Do you think there is anything you need to improve?"

His agent Jiang Shixi and assistant Pu Jiajing stood behind him like bodyguards.

After listening to it, everyone realized that there is a pitfall in this question.

What if Fan Wumian answered yes.

Then there will definitely be media saying that he found out that he was not good at acting in movies, so he applied for the acting major, which in turn caused the audience to lower their expectations for the movie "A Quiet Place".

Fan Wumian also noticed it.

So he shook his head decisively and replied:

"I just want to strive for excellence, come to the mainland to study and experience the atmosphere of a university. The filming of A Quiet Place went smoothly. In order to come here to take the exam, I finished my part in advance. I will probably finish filming tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

Another reporter asked:
"So you're only going to apply to Beijing Film Academy this time? Will you apply to the Chinese Academy of Drama and the Central Conservatory of Music?"

Fan Wumian used the interview to advertise, shaking his head and smiling, saying:
"I may not be able to make it in time, as I have to take my film A Quiet Place to attend this year's Berlin Film Festival."

A large crowd gathered around.

Many boys in the acting department were worried, as they were heartbroken that the number of admission places, which were already limited, would be reduced by one.

in the crowd.

Yang Mi was particularly excited. Thinking of the opportunity to become Fan Wumian's classmate, she suddenly became full of fighting spirit and secretly clenched her fist to cheer herself up.

the other side.

There is also Zhang Xiaofei, who endured for many years in his previous life and finally emerged with the TV series "Hello, Li Huanying". He is also excited about the opportunity to become a classmate of Fan Wumian.

Unlike many child stars.

In the eyes of many candidates, Fan Wumian's popularity has surpassed that of many first-line actors.

Looking at the entire Beijing Film Academy, among all the students currently studying in the school, perhaps only Liu Yifei, who is from the class of 2002 and has not yet graduated, can be compared with him in terms of popularity.

"The Legend of Sword and Fairy" just started airing two days ago.

The news is everywhere, all about Liu Yifei, praising her for being full of spirit, ethereal and tender.

As soon as he showed up, he was surrounded by reporters.

His appearance made countless candidates nearby envious.

Fan Wumian, whom they admired, was busy complaining about how some reporters were so unethical, using flash lights in broad daylight and taking pictures continuously, almost blinding his eyes.

While being interviewed, he glanced at the crowd nearby.

Good guy.

A quick glance allowed him to see many familiar faces.

Among them were Yang Mi, who had helped in the crew and poured her bath water, and Zhang Xiaofei, who was still very young and immature.

All we can say is that things change. They are still unknown now, while Fan Wumian has become famous first.

Art exam candidates of this era were not that trendy, and many of them looked a bit rustic in their dress.

However, no matter how rustic they are, they cannot compare to Huang Bo, who is responsible for maintaining order at the school gate and wearing a red armband, and is the one who said "Brand, Benny Lu!"

If Fan Wumian had not known this future top movie star, he would probably have treated him as a security guard without a uniform.

Beijing Film Academy has already had its winter break.

Huang Bo stayed at the school in Yanjing to make a living. There is still some time before the Spring Festival, so he has no plans to go home for the time being.

I was eating melon seeds with my classmates and was busy admiring my junior schoolmate.

Huang Bo pointed at Fan Wumian with a tone of deep envy and said to the students around him:

"Do you know this 18-year-old Hong Kong singer? He is so amazing. Two-fifths of the ringtone sales charts are his songs. My friend said he can earn at least 2000 million."

"It's like a money printing machine every day. Money just swirls and swirls! All goes into his pocket."

"He bought a multi-million dollar mansion some time ago, and suddenly wanted to make a movie, so he just paid several million Hong Kong dollars. Huang Xieqiu took advantage of his seniority to teach him a lesson, but was scolded by his fans. His reputation is ruined."
