The bard joins the entertainment industry

After a banquet, it was decided that filming would start on February 6th of the new year at Hengdian Film and Television City, and the two families dispersed to prepare.

The next day, Chen Shuo and Liu Yifei joined Zhang Jizhong and went to Taiwan to promote "Dragon Movie".

I was supposed to go yesterday, but Chen Shuo's side was busy, so Zhang Jizhong had no choice but to postpone it for one day.

Also traveling with us this time were Hu Jun, Liu Tao and Chen Hao.

The five of them met together and chatted about recent trivial matters. The journey was not deserted.

Hu Jun and Liu Tao had gone to Lin'an to promote together before, but Chen Hao hadn't seen each other much since the wedding banquet, and it had been a year.

The entertainment industry is like this. Everyone is busy with their own affairs. If they don't get together for something, it's difficult to have any contact.

After staying in Taiwan for two days, participating in three programs and touring for half a day, I returned to the Imperial Capital.

At this time, "House of Flying Daggers", which was released a year ago, has not been completed yet, but there is no more scenes for the two of them, and they are just waiting to attend the final wrap-up party.

The album is almost ready, and we need to wait until after the new year to start promoting and releasing it.

After a day of rest, Chen Shuo was ready to settle on the house.

In Liu Yifei's home, the coffee table is filled with photos, all of which are photos of the house that she saw during this period.

Liu Xiaoli pointed to several photos arranged in a row and said: "Now, what we are interested in are No. 1, 4, and 7 on the Shichahai side, No. 11 and 15 on the Yonghe Temple side, and Dongcheng side. Courtyard No. 23.

No. 7, No. 15, and No. 23 are all miscellaneous hospitals, which are relatively cheap and cost-effective. "

"I like this Courtyard No. 23. It has a small cross-court and a large activity area." Liu Yifei hugged Xiaohu and pointed to the last Courtyard No. 23 and said, "It just looks too sloppy."

Courtyard No. 23 was accidentally discovered by Liu Xiaoli in the past two days. It is located in Lishi Hutong, Dongcheng.

It also occupies an area of ​​800 square meters. The main courtyard is 600 square meters, and there is a small courtyard of 200 square meters next to it.

"I like this too, especially the tree in the yard. I feel like it would be very comfortable to sit on a deck chair there in the summer, have a slice of watermelon, and tease the little tiger and let it run around." Chen Rui held up a tree. A photo of the courtyard.

There is a tall toon tree inside. Although it is a little bald now, you can still see the lush branches and leaves in spring and summer.

"I guess we still don't know who is teasing whom." Chen Shuo thought for a while, took a photo and said, "How about we decide on this one first? This yard is the most suitable one.

Although it is a mixed-use courtyard, all the families live in it, and there is basically no haphazard construction.

Now that they are all willing to sell, the subsequent troubles should be the smallest among the three courtyards. "

There are four families living in this courtyard, but they are all brothers and sisters. This is also their family's ancestral property. It was just that the families had to be separated and they were divided into mixed courtyards.

Moreover, the four families were all quite capable and kept the yard from outsiders, so it was well preserved.

Now the two younger brothers and sisters want to immigrate, and the two older brothers and sisters have grown up children and want to buy a wedding house for them.

So the four families discussed and decided to sell the yard, and then divided the money. Two families went abroad and the other family bought a wedding house.

The asking price is quite appropriate, 8 million, which is the same price as Courtyard No. 4 in Houhai, but the area is actually 100 square meters larger.

And the building area is not small. When you enter the 600-square-meter courtyard, there are five rooms in the north and south, and three rooms in the east and west. Both the house and the yard are very spacious.

There are three main rooms in the 200-square-meter courtyard. Each room is 4 or 5 meters deep and more than 5 meters high.

At that time, it will be quite cost-effective to renovate or rebuild while ensuring the area and height of the house.

Even if the first entrance courtyard is changed to the second entrance courtyard, there will still be space for activities across the courtyard.

There are three parking spaces at the door, and it is also very convenient to go to the main road.

"If you decide on this, we have to decide with them tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and then start the formalities." Liu Xiaoli said: "The two families want to go abroad after the year, and there will definitely be no time to go through the formalities.

They have some connections with each other, and with the help of your Uncle Chen, they will definitely be able to escape a year ago. "

The reason why they sell it cheaply is because they want to sell it as soon as possible and get the money immediately.

The two of them didn't have time to wait for a loan or anything.

If it hasn't been sold after the New Year, it probably won't be at this price.

"Then it's settled." Chen Shuo hesitated for a moment and then said with a gentle pat.

"Okay, I'll call Xiao Li and ask him to connect with someone." After hearing this, Liu Xiaoli took out her mobile phone and made a call.

Xiao Li was sent by Chen Jingfei to help Liu Xiaoli look at the house, and he was very familiar with this business.

After the instructions were given, he would go through the formalities on his own. Chen Shuo only had to go there when it was time to sign the contract and pay the money.

"Wait a minute." Seeing Liu Xiaoli about to put the photo away, Chen Shuo hesitated, picked up the photo of Courtyard No. 1, and said, "Auntie, maybe I want this courtyard too."

Liu Xiaoli said in surprise: "Don't you still want to buy a house in Wangjing? If you buy this courtyard, you can't buy it in Wangjing."

Chen Shuo hesitated for a moment and then made up his mind: "Buy this first, and then buy it in Wangjing after you make money from the second album.

By then, I would even have money for renovations. "

Now, in addition to the 12 million from the album, he still has 1.4 million saved.

Chen Shuo and Liu Yifei, both newcomers to the film industry, earn 500,000 yuan each. However, Zhang Ziyi, the second sister who does not have many roles, received 2 million yuan in film salary, and Andy Lau earned more, 8 million yuan.

It happened that the two houses had spent all their share of the album, and the rest was kept in hand for emergencies.

Anyway, it takes a lot of time to go through the procedures, obtain qualifications, do design, find a decoration team, etc. After the shares are divided, the decoration can be done slowly.

Liu Xiaoli thought about the share of his first album and said, "That's right. You will be filming in Hengdian after the Chinese New Year. After the filming is completed, the share of the album will also come down. I just have the money and time to decorate.

I'll give Xiao Li another call. "As he said that, he took out his mobile phone and made another call.

Although the house has not yet come down, Chen Shuo could not help but feel happy at this time and said: "I'm treating you today, what shall we eat!"

"Eat Shandong cuisine!" Liu Yifei hugged the little tiger and shouted suddenly.

Xiaohu, on the other hand, stretched out lazily without blinking an eye, and when she couldn't lift him, he suddenly shrunk and ran out of her hand.

He jumped on the back of the sofa in twos and twos.

Although she is not afraid, being tossed around by her would not be a shame, right?

"Okay, I agree!" Chen Rui said, waving to Xiaohu: "Let's go, Xiaohu, let's eat something delicious."

"Meow~ow~wu~~" The little tiger didn't even glance at her, just licking his paws.

"Little tiger!" Chen Rui looked at it, called out, and moved towards the little tiger. Liu Yifei also wanted to hug it again: "Little tiger, be good, I won't scare you anymore."

But Xiaohu didn't fall for their tricks. When he saw the two coming, he jumped up lightly, stepped on the two's backs, and pounced on Chen Shuo.

"We're eating out, why don't we buy some food and cook it at home." Liu Xiaoli said, "I'll ask Changchang later if she's done with her work there, and pick her up and join us."

When Liu Yifei saw Xiaohu ignoring her and running to Chen Shuo, she immediately pointed at him and said, "Then Chen Shuo will cook!"

Chen Rui picked up the phone and said, "Okay, I'll call Changchang right now."

It's already a holiday, and Shu Chang is going to attend the meeting with the main creators of "Lotus Lantern" today.

They will start filming after the Chinese New Year, and they will also shoot in Hengdian.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Rui said: "Changchang said she will be fine soon."

"That's just right. Let's pick her up and then buy some food together." Liu Xiaoli said and brought the coats for several people to put on.

After getting dressed, Chen Shuo drove to the CCTV building and happened to meet Shu Chang walking out of it.

After picking her up in the car, he rubbed the little tiger who couldn't run away with Liu Yifei and Chen Rui in the back seat.

While driving, Chen Shuo asked, "Who is in your drama? I seemed to have seen Jiao Enjun just now."

Shu Chang took off his hat, rubbed his hands with a sigh, then put his hand into Xiaohu's fur, used it as a hand warmer, and said: "There are many celebrities, Jiao Enjun plays the role of Erlang Shen.

There are also Cao Jun who plays Liu Chenxiang and Yan Danchen who plays Chang'e. They are the same ones who interviewed Wang Yuyan with you.

Chen Qi, who plays the TV series "Alive", plays the barking dog.

Lin Xiangping, the third princess of the East China Sea in "Journey to the East", plays the role of a girl who likes agarwood.

In addition to them, there is also a great actress named Park Si-yeon. "

At the end, she asked everyone with a mysterious face: "Who do you think played the roles of the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother?"

"Who? Could it be Zhang Yushan, Wang Weiguo and Wan Fuxiang?" Chen Shuo replied casually.

These two are the actors who played the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother in the 1986 version of "Journey to the West".

Now during the winter and summer vacations, various stations have begun to broadcast "Journey to the West". Chen Shuo is now an actor and knows something about this.

Shu Chang didn't stretch his arms for too long and said directly: "The Jade Emperor is Wang Weiguo in "Journey to the West Sequel", and the Queen Mother is Liu Xiaoqing?"

"Liu Xiaoqing?" Liu Xiaoli turned to Shu Chang in surprise and asked, "Is she acting again now?"

Her and Liu Xiaoqing's names sound similar, but they are not related to each other, let alone have any intersection.

But the time when Liu Xiaoqing became famous was when she was young, so she is still very familiar with her.

Hearing her news at this time, she couldn't help but pay attention.

"I don't understand either. She is so majestic that I didn't even dare to move forward. I didn't say a few words all morning."

We were chatting all the way back and passed by the vegetable market to buy some vegetables.

Even in the winter, no one would recognize you even if you were wearing a hat and a scarf. These people in the vegetable market, who cares whether you are a celebrity or not? Business is real.

When they got home, the five of them chatted while cleaning up, and quickly prepared the meal.

While eating, Liu Xiaoli asked: "Shuoshuo, Ruirui, when will you two return to your hometown?"

"Auntie, try this." Chen Shuo gave her a piece of braised pork and said, "I have to wait until I finish attending the wrapping party of "House of Flying Daggers" before going back. I heard from Brother Bo that it may be wrapped tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."

Chen Rui also said: "Let's wait for Brother Shuoshuo to leave together."

"It's the 24th of the twelfth lunar month now. If you waste two days, you won't be able to catch the New Year pig." Liu Yifei still remembered what he said last year.

"I can't help it. It's about to be finalized. There will definitely be a finals banquet then. I can't run away early." Chen Shuo took a piece of braised pork and stuffed the remaining steamed bun into his mouth.

Seeing that Chen Rui had finished eating the first one, he gave her another one.

“Actually, with more and more relatives working outside the home, the flavor of the new year is getting weaker and weaker.

Everyone is busy outside and eager to earn more money, so these customs gradually don't matter anymore.

The brothers and sisters at home basically don’t go home until the New Year, and leave after the New Year.

You see, the uncle and aunt's business has improved this year. They rented a storefront and opened two branches. The business is still booming.

If you leave a day early, you will earn hundreds of dollars less, just to go home and eat that bite of pig meat? "

"Yes, the pace is getting faster and faster now. Everyone is thinking about making money. Many people don't care if they can't celebrate the New Year." Liu Xiaoli couldn't help but sigh after hearing this.

"Auntie, do you plan to return to Jiangcheng for the New Year?" Chen Shuo asked.

"Go back. I'm not busy this year. I feel that when Sissi becomes more famous in the future, it won't be so easy to go back for the New Year."

"Indeed." Shu Chang nodded and said, "Once you are famous, you have to participate in various activities, parties and so on.

By then, you may not be able to celebrate the Chinese New Year at home.

I remember the next time, I went to the south to attend a party and never came back during the Chinese New Year. It was my first time to celebrate the New Year outside. "

"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. In our work, it is sometimes more convenient to rest than others. When you are tired after filming, it is good to rest at home for a while."

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting more and more boring as he talked, Chen Shuo changed the subject and said, "Let's try this. I feel that my aunt's craftsmanship has improved again."

"Your chopping board is well made, and I can fry it easily, so of course it will taste better."

“When the yard is renovated, let’s set up a stove and use firewood to cook more delicious food.

When the time comes, I will move all the guys who made my grandfather’s wine here, and I will also learn how to make wine. "

"Can we make wine?"

"It should be possible, right? I'll study it then."

"This is good, from now on we will only drink the wine we brew..."

If you say you want to drink the wine you brewed, that will have to wait until later. Now you still have to toast to others first.

On January 16, the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, "House of Flying Daggers" finished shooting the last scene and was completely finished.

This movie was difficult to produce from the beginning. First, the script was revised dozens of times.

Then when filming, it was also difficult and dangerous, and there were problems every step of the way.

Originally, we were planning to shoot for one day, but Mei Yanfang couldn't hold it any longer.

Although the deterioration of the condition slowed down during this period, it did not stop, nor did it get better.

Fortunately, although her body is getting worse, her spirit is getting better.

The whole person's state looked like he was fine.

It's just that my physical condition is really not ideal, and the doctor doesn't recommend continuing to work hard.

Seeing this, Zhang Yimou didn't force it and just gave up the remaining scenes.

We are planning to hold a closing banquet tonight to reward everyone.
