Chapter 435 Townhouse
When Xu Kun was having a meal at Ge's house, he suddenly received a text message from a stranger. The text message was filled with plans for exercise, diet, and skin care.
Needless to say, it must have been sent by Jiang Wenli.
Looking at the densely packed list of matters and taboos, Xu Kun couldn't help but be amazed. He could be considered a man of perseverance and willingness to work hard on himself, but if he followed this plan, he estimated that he would not be able to persist for a month.
It doesn't really matter what I do, the main thing is that the various dietary restrictions are too torturous.
Xu Kun hesitated for a moment, and ultimately did not send any reply. He had to hold back against such a cruel woman.
Until now, he has not made any direct promises to Jiang Wenli, and now he will not leave any "written" evidence, so that even if something unexpected happens, he can clear himself from the blame.
After dinner.
While sitting on the sofa picking his teeth with the old man, Ge You also rushed over after hearing the news.
Ever since the failure of "Night Banquet", he has been staying at home for more than a year and only played a role in "Destiny Calls Transfer".
When old man Ge Cun Zhuang talked about this, he joked that his son didn't look like a prince even when he wore the dragon robe.
Ge Youze said that this was a congenital problem and the problem lay at the root.
After joking for a while, Ge You, on behalf of the "Destiny Calls Transfer" crew, invited Xu Kun to attend the premiere on November 11th.
Xu Kun naturally agreed.
By one o'clock, Mr. Ge was feeling a little tired, so Xu Kun took the opportunity to say goodbye and left. He then reunited with Jiang Yiyan and Zhao Liying, and then began to visit the properties that Hu Die liked, from near to far.
When we say we are looking at properties, we are actually mainly looking at the surrounding environment and traffic conditions. After all, given the current situation in Beijing, the better properties, except for special circumstances like the Olympic Village, basically do not have ready-made houses for sale. All that is sold are pre-sale properties.
Because of the impression left by Zhao Liying from the filming of "Behind the Tenderness", she thought the house-viewing process would be like what Sister Wang played, with a sales lady in cool clothes leading her around the house.
As a result, all we saw were promotional pages and property models. When we got to the construction site, we found that most of the sites hadn't even laid a foundation.
This made her very disappointed.
What made her even more disappointed was that the average housing price in Beijing was over 18,000 yuan, and some were as high as 30,000 yuan.
This is more than ten times more expensive than my hometown county!
“This is still at the upper-middle level.”
Facing her fuss, Jiang Yiyan was not impressed: "If it's a decent high-end villa, it would cost 40,000 to 50,000 per square meter."
This is going to skyrocket!
Although Xu Kun did not show it, he actually regretted it deep down. If he had known that housing prices would increase by nearly 40% in the next six months, he would have bought the house in the Olympic Village at the beginning of the year.
If you want to go back now, not only has the price increased a lot, but you can no longer buy a suitable floor location.
At this rate, prices will definitely rise next year - after all, it is the Olympic year, and even if the economic crisis expands, the most that can happen is that the growth rate will be lower than expected.
Originally, Xu Kun was not so anxious to buy a house, but now he could not take it easy. While walking around, he contacted Baoqiang and decided to buy the house before the New Year to avoid wasting extra money after the New Year.
Not to mention, after taking Jiang Yiyan shopping for two days, Xu Kun actually fell in love with a house near the East Fifth Ring Road in Chaoyang District.
According to the design drawings, this is a three-story townhouse with a yard of more than 50 square meters outside and the indoor usable area of each floor is about 90 square meters.
The first floor is a garage and utility room, and the second and third floors are living rooms and bedrooms.
There is also a basement of more than 70 square meters, which is a free area. Xu Kun plans to divide it into two parts, one for a gym for daily exercise and the other for a home theater.
Taking into account various discounts, one unit costs just over 700 million.
Of course, there are better places than this, but they are either located in more remote areas or the prices are inflated.
Taking all factors into consideration, this is the most suitable place.
Xu Kun had thought about renovating a courtyard house, but it was already 07, and with the news that Cheng Long's eight courtyard houses had appreciated dozens of times in value, it was no longer something you could buy if you wanted to.
Xu Kun was also a man of action. After a brief discussion with Baoqiang, he immediately ordered three apartments. In addition to Baoqiang, Jiang Yiyan also wanted one. Xu Kun paid the full amount, while Jiang Yiyan and Baoqiang paid the down payment.
According to the builder's promise, we should be able to get the keys next fall.
Xu Kun was too lazy to pay the money, so he transferred his share to Jiang Yiyan and let her act as the agent.
After receiving the transfer, Jiang Yiyan suddenly had an idea to see what 1000 million in cash meant - she had earned almost or million in the past two years, but her expenses were high and she paid a lot of taxes, so this was the first time she had gathered million in cash.
So she excitedly called Tang Yan and Zhao Liying to go to the bank, ready to withdraw 10 million in cash to pay for the house.
As a result, the three suitcases we brought were completely unable to fit everything.
Tang Yan felt dizzy, fearing that he would be robbed on the way, and he dared not leave the bank with the money no matter what; Zhao Liying felt even more numb when she saw the table full of money.
In those movies and TV shows, tens of millions or even hundreds of millions are often involved, but only when you see the real thing with your own eyes can you feel the weight of the money - this money weighs about 250 kilograms.
In the end Jiang Yiyan had to change to bank transfer.
After handing over the work to the manager of the sales office, the two assistants were still in a trance.
Jiang Yiyan raised her head and pointed her nose at them and said, "Look at you all, you act like you've never seen money before. Don't worry, as long as you can make Brother Kun happy... uh, of course, you have to improve your acting skills. Then, won't it be a piece of cake to make 10 million?!"
"Sister Yiyan."
Zhao Liying was speechless and said, "You make it sound too simple. That's 10 million. My parents could never earn that much money in their lifetimes."
"So what? Yang Mi dared to sign a 30 million bet agreement. Even if you can't catch up with her in the future, you won't be too far behind, right?"
Jiang Yiyan patted the two on the shoulders and said with a smile: "You are lucky to have come at a good time. There are more and more people in the circle now, and we actors and stars are also rising with the tide. Maybe everyone can become a billionaire in the future!"
…………
Besides buying a house.
Xu Kun also took time out to attend the premiere of "Love Call Transfer". To put it bluntly, this movie is a huge advertisement for the mobile company.
Ge You, Yang Lixin, Xu Zheng, Wang Xuebing, Fan Bingbing, Xu Fan, Yi Nengjing...
If it weren't for the support of China Mobile, how could the total cost be controlled within 800 million with this starring lineup?
However, the plot was well-written, with the box office of over 1800 million in the first weekend and the total box office of nearly 3500 million, which is better than the others but not worse than the others.
Fan Bingbing's studio also held a celebration party to celebrate the fact that the total box office of the movies she starred in exceeded 300 million.
Although compared with the later billion-dollar movie emperors, the 07 million-dollar heroine seems a bit shabby, but in this figure was still quite impressive.
At least among those born in the 80s, it is definitely the best.
However, on the day of celebration, Fan Bingbing was not very happy because "Apple" had a bad start and was first rejected by the Golden Horse Awards, saying that it did not meet the eligibility criteria.
Then the screening license in the mainland was delayed in being approved. If the modifications were made according to the above suggestions, several passionate scenes would basically be deleted.
Li Yu was not happy, and neither was Fan Bingbing.
They made this movie for word of mouth. If the editing is messed up, what's the point even if it can be released in theaters?
So the two of them plan to give the European Film Festival a try in the early spring of next year. Anyway, apart from being a bit explicit, the film does not contain any part that discredits the country, so there won't be much resistance in sending it abroad for exhibition.
For this reason, Fan Bingbing even found Xu Kun for a "live chat" to prevent him from having any dissatisfaction with this.
The address for the "night visit" was chosen in Yuan Li's RV - Fan Bingbing chose it on her own initiative. Since she couldn't get it in a head-on confrontation, she wanted to make up for it secretly.
That night was the first snow of the winter of 2007. The two turned up the heat to the maximum and opened the skylight to let the snow fall in. Their hoarse cries could be heard from far away in the wilderness...
