Chapter 233 Zhuang Muxi's Small Courtyard

It feels a bit strange to be entering college life again.

The registration date for new students of the Central Conservatory of Music and the Beijing Film Academy are both set on September 9st.

I will probably stay in Yanjing for a while this time.

So Assistant Pu Jiajing made a long list in advance and sent people to purchase some daily necessities, which were delivered to the courtyard of the two-story building on the northern edge of Houhai.

Just after coming from the airport, Pu Jiajing started to busy herself with packing, sorting out bed sheets, quilts, chopping boards, bowls and chopsticks, etc.

It has been a long time since his son bought the house, but this is the first time that Silly Old Fan has visited it in person.

After checking inside and out, I found that the surrounding living facilities and hutong environment were a bit old and messy, far from being as luxurious as I had imagined.

I can't help but sigh that No. 89 Repulse Bay is the most comfortable place to live.

The impression of luxury homes in Hong Kong's Repulse Bay is deeply rooted in people's minds and it will be difficult to reverse it in a short period of time.

Because silly old Fan came along and caused trouble, Zhuang Muxi was not convenient to stay overnight. While drinking tea, she took the initiative to say to Fan Wumian:

"How about I go to a hotel or stay in the school dormitory for the next two days? Since I'm a student from Gangcheng, I think I've been arranged a double room in an international student dormitory. I've seen the photos on the school forum, and the environment seems pretty good."

Fan Wumian had just learned how to make tea with a covered bowl and was scalded and panicked.

After listening to this, he shook his head and said:
"What's not bad? In order to trick freshmen into signing up, seniors usually only report good news and not bad news. They try to trick as many freshmen as possible, so that they can feel the pain they went through and find psychological comfort from it."

"Most universities in the north have public toilets and public bathrooms. I'm afraid that if you take a shower that day, all the students will discuss how hot your body is the next day."

"If you encounter a girl with a mental disorder who takes a photo of you secretly, you will be in trouble."

Zhuang Muxi looked down in front of her. How could she not understand what Fan Wumian meant? She asked worriedly, "Then what should I do? Should I rent a house near the school?"

Sitting at the tea table and handing her the teacup, Fan Wumian said:
"Before, a developer gave me a small villa, but it was not decorated and it was far from your school."

"The hotel at No. 28 Di'anmen West Street will take a long time to renovate, so it will definitely not be habitable in the short term."

"It's easy to be disturbed if you rent a house. I will definitely be watched by fans and reporters. It's not convenient for you to live directly at my place, so."

Hear this.

Zhuang Muxi burst out laughing and instantly guessed what Fan Wumian wanted to say:
"You mean, just buy one? All the money will be used for the hotel in Tiananmen Square. I don't have any money left."

I took a sip of the raw Pu'er I had just brewed. The tea had been simmered for a little too long and it was so bitter that I couldn't drink it.

Reaching out to pour out the tea in Zhuang Muxi's cup, Fan Wumian continued:

"I remember when I was looking for a house at the beginning of the year, there were many small courtyards with one or two entrances in the financial street. They were directly cleaned up and sold to businessmen, who lived in them or used them as clubs for receptions."

"Don't worry about the money. Just think of it as an advance payment to you. Sometimes you can see from the news that the housing prices in Yanjing are on the rise."

"I estimate that by the time you finish college, the housing price will at least double, and you can live here for free for a few years, which is quite cost-effective. If you want to make a living in the mainland entertainment industry, you will have to come to Yanjing frequently. There are many film and television companies and advertising media companies in the local area."

What works first and what works next.

Fan Wumian is addicted to real estate speculation and cannot extricate himself. He thinks this kind of business, which can make dozens of times the profit by leveraging, is both profitable and easy.

Thinking of buying a small yard himself, Zhuang Muxi was a little tempted and asked tentatively: "Then let's take some time to go and have a look?"

".I'm really interested when you talk about this. Bring me my computer. There should be ads for real estate agencies online."

The Siheyuan was really made popular by Fan Wumian.

If you just search online, you will find all kinds of news about price increases, sales, and house grabbing, and you don’t know whether they are true or false.

Almost half of the news about Siheyuan mentioned Fan Wumian, leaving him speechless and muttering that he should find a real estate agency and collect some endorsement fees.

The location in Xidan Financial Street is perfect and it is relatively close to the Central Conservatory of Music.

soon.

Fan Wumian found a piece of news from last week.

The article mentioned that a professor and his wife from the Department of Architecture of Tsinghua University renovated and rebuilt a Hui-style courtyard house, covering an area of ​​550 square meters. Not only is it very close to the main street, it also has a parking space and is priced at 730 million RMB.

The location is not as good as Houhai and the Forbidden City, but the advantage is that you can move in right away, it is beautifully decorated, and has a large terrace of 140 square meters.

After looking at the photos, Zhuang Muxi liked them very much.

So Fan Wumian borrowed Pu Jiajing's cell phone without saying a word and called the agent to go and see the house.

Ever since the news appeared in the newspaper, the agent has been annoyed by the harassment and asked on the phone whether I really wanted to buy it, and his tone was a little impatient.

Wait for Fan Wumian to introduce himself.

The other party's attitude suddenly changed, and his tone became enthusiastic.

The fact that he likes to spend money to buy courtyard houses has long been known to everyone.

Some time ago, some real estate agents knew that No. 28 Di'anmen West Street was for sale, but they did not recommend it to Fan Wumian.

I heard that he had won the deal again these days. Many agents were regretting it so much that they were jumping up and down in frustration. They couldn't eat or drink, and could only mutter - "I should have thought of it earlier."

Finally, I drank the tea that Fan Wumian brewed. Zhuang Muxi continued to look at the message on the laptop screen, then said after realizing it:

"In fact, your purchase of a house can be considered as marketing hype. All the news is about you, so the exposure should be very high."

"What do you think makes a star?"

After Fan Wumian asked back, he answered his own question and explained:
"There are two types of stars. One is the talented type. Whether it's singing or acting, they may be very talented, but they may not have the opportunity to make a lot of money. The other type is the popular type, such as Li Jiaxin. People can hardly remember what works she has acted in, but she is very famous and easily attracts attention."

"If the only purpose is to make money, the latter seems to be more likely to succeed."

"For example, now that I've been labeled as someone who likes luxury homes, many developers are begging me to give them money and houses, asking me to help them promote. With someone as beautiful and sexy as you, even if you don't act in a movie, as long as you can rely on traffic to promote your business, you'll still have a chance to become famous."

Let’s not talk about the returns from investment and financial management.

The reason why he can earn hundreds of millions a year as a celebrity is mainly due to the crazy hype through various means, which successfully brought in huge traffic exposure.

This indirectly increased the sales of mobile phone ringtones, albums and movies, and attracted companies to pay high prices for him to be their spokesperson.

The income earned from being a celebrity is continuously invested by Fan Wumian for financial management, which further brings in traffic and exposure.

He has managed to create this virtuous cycle, and it is difficult for others to replicate it.

Zhuang Muxi nodded thoughtfully and replied, "I really like filming. It allows me to concentrate on doing one thing seriously."

Boasting himself, Fan Wumian said to her:
"It's because I'm here to protect you. It's not an exaggeration to say that the journey of many actors becoming famous is a bittersweet one."

"Not only do many older wealthy women like handsome male actors, but some directors and investors also like them. I have also heard of stories about male bosses chasing stars and spending money to seduce male stars."

"As long as you become famous, it is not difficult to make millions or tens of millions. Everyone knows that these resources are precious and they will not easily give them to others."

Zhuang Muxi blinked and asked him, "Then when you sign a new actress, will you have any ill intentions?"

".Did I dig a hole and bury myself?"

Fan Wumian argued:

"You are slandering me, but I don't think that way."

"All film and television companies do this these days. They use the resources at hand to support their contracted stars as much as possible and make some money from it."

"As the Internet continues to develop, traffic will be concentrated on top artists, and it will be much more troublesome to tie up those first- and second-tier stars. If you want to break away and open your own studio, I promise to fully support you."

Dumbfounding.

Zhuang Muxi said to him:

"The profit share ratio in the contract I signed with you is so high that it's unbelievable. Sometimes even I feel embarrassed and worried that you will lose money. Why do you want to jump out and do it on your own?"

"That's right."

Fan Wumian stood up, ready to go out, and then said with a smile:

"The resources you are given are beyond even the most popular actress in mainland China, Liu Yifei. Which newcomer can star in two Hollywood movies right after entering the industry? And the second one is centered entirely around you."

"The status of movie actors is much higher than that of TV actors. I think they will be able to help you get endorsements from top brands very quickly."

When chatting.

Silly Old Fan came to the tea room and said:
"There is a big yard at home, and it is so comfortable to bask in the sun. If this big room is used exclusively for drinking tea, I'm afraid many people in Hong Kong will come after me and chop me down. No wonder many people go to Luohu, Shenzhen to buy houses for retirement."

Fan Wumian joked:

"Do you regret it? When I asked you to buy a commercial and residential villa next to the Shenzhen Golf Course, you shook your head like a rattle."

He hesitated for a moment.

Silly Old Fan sighed and said:
"I'm used to it. I'm worried that I won't be able to find anyone to play mahjong with. Otherwise, if you give me more money for the film, I'll buy another house and use it for my retirement."

".What's the difference between this and me just giving you money?"

Ever since he decided to speculate on the land in Pengcheng Bay, Fan Wumian has not been too concerned about buying a house. He feels that the excitement between the two is not on the same level.

I accompanied Zhuang Muxi on a trip to the Financial Street to check out the two-story Hui-style courtyard house.

The layout is similar to that of an authentic courtyard house, but the style is different and the courtyard is more refined. It is about 1 kilometer away from the Central Conservatory of Music.

It is hard to find such an exquisitely maintained yard on the market. It seems to be good in every aspect. After bargaining with a professor and his wife from Qinghua’s Department of Architecture, we finally sold it for 715 million.

Last day of June.

He was mainly busy helping Zhuang Muxi settle down. He gave the seller a deposit of 50 RMB so that she could move into the small courtyard in the Financial Street in advance.

Time enters February.

September 9st, around 1 o'clock in the morning.

Fan Wumian arrived at the Beijing Film Academy to report in his elegant R car with the license plate "Yan A-99999".

As soon as he got off the car, the reporters who had been waiting for a long time rushed to him and asked a lot of questions.
