Chapter 136 Ziyi’s temptation! (Please subscribe!)

Lin Xuan didn't lie, he really had something to do in the afternoon.

The salesperson called and said everything about the house was done.

After several days of negotiations, the other two families finally relented and agreed to sell the house.

The only problem was that the price could not be negotiated.

These three families were all very smart. They heard that someone wanted to buy a courtyard house, so they asked each other and found out that someone wanted to buy all three courtyard houses.

He must be a rich man who spends so generously, so he may not be spared lightly.

So the three families joined forces and took over 3000 square meters without giving up a penny.

You can buy a well-decorated building in Beijing at this price.

Only people with mental problems buy these courtyards overgrown with weeds.

The salesperson had no choice but to call Lin Xuan and ask if the price was acceptable.

The total area of ​​the three courtyard houses is approximately [-] square meters.

According to the price of 3000 per square meter, the total is 720 million.

Although the price is slightly expensive, Lin Xuan thinks it is still worth it, considering the future land prices in the capital and the effect of merging the three courtyard houses together.

So after lunch, he led people to the courtyard.

Just like last time, park your car nearby and ride to the alley.

The salesperson and the owner are waiting just outside the courtyard.

Several people walked around the three courtyards.

After confirming that there was no problem, Lin Xuan didn't bother to argue with them. He directly asked the salesperson to print out the contract and sign it, and then went to the bank to transfer the money and go through the relevant procedures.

I was busy until night before I finally got it done.

After a few days of busy sales, I got 1% commission, which was [-] yuan.

It really doesn’t open for three years, but it lasts for three years after opening.

Before leaving, he also recommended a decoration design company. It is said that many celebrities come to them to decorate their homes.

Lin Xuan was worried that there was something wrong with the company he recommended, so he specifically contacted two decoration companies through Wang Jinhua.

Returning to the villa in the evening, Qian Ze couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Lin, do you think housing prices in Beijing will rise in the future?"

After running for a long time, they must have found the doorway.

If he hadn't been sure that housing prices would rise, Lin Xuan wouldn't have been so generous.

"It will definitely go up!" Lin Xuan said with an extremely certain tone:
"If you have money, hurry up and buy it. The sooner you buy it, the better."

Hearing this, the two of them nodded.

…………

The next day, Lin Xuan met with the designers and directors of the three companies.

He had his own ideas about the decoration style of the courtyard, and had no intention of listening to the decoration company's arrangements.

He likes the new Chinese style of the future, which is a perfect blend of traditional and modern styles.

New Chinese style not only retains many traditional elements, but is more in line with modern aesthetics than pure Chinese style, and makes living more comfortable.

Listening to Lin Xuan's talk, the three decoration companies all looked confused.

I thought I was being taken advantage of, but I didn't expect to meet an expert master.

The new Chinese style aesthetic is not particularly advanced. Lin Xuan drew a few design drafts, which made them feel very amazing.

Many designers are deeply inspired by these drawings.

The qualifications and abilities of the three companies are all excellent, and Lin Xuan is too lazy to choose one among them.

He happened to have three courtyard houses in his hands, so he asked them to take charge of one respectively.

This way everyone can make money and speed up the project progress.

According to their preliminary calculations, the entire renovation project can be completed in about six months.

After the decoration was decided, Lin Xuan devoted all his energy to the rehearsal.

There's only about a week left until New Year's Eve.

Everyone is seizing the time and rehearsing carefully to make the show perfect and ensure there are no mistakes on site.

…………

2001, January 1, New Year’s Eve.

Beijing, single-family villa.

Lin Xuan slept until he woke up naturally.

After getting up and washing up, I feel energetic and comfortable all over.

Arriving on the first floor, Chen Wei was pasting Spring Festival couplets on the door.

"Boss, you're awake."

"Ah."

Lin Xuan picked up the buns on the table and looked at them while eating.

"The calligraphy of these Spring Festival couplets is pretty good. Who wrote it?"

"it's me."

Qian Ze raised his hand proudly.

"Beautifully written."

"thank you boss."

Lin Xuan turned to look at the other person: "Zhang Qiang, you should be used to living here."

This is Chen Wei's comrade-in-arms, and now he is Lin Xuan's life assistant.

"Very good, thank you boss."

"Haha, you're welcome."

After breakfast, Lin Xuan changed his clothes and took a car to the CCTV building.

Today is not only New Year’s Eve, but also the last complete rehearsal of the Spring Festival Gala program team.

Lin Xuan got out of the Mercedes-Benz wearing a hat and mask.

Countless reporters and media have gathered outside the CCTV building.

"Hey! Lin Xuan!"

"Go! Go!"

When they saw Lin Xuan getting out of the car, they immediately ran over. The scene was comparable to a zombie movie.

Zhang Qiang and Chen Wei lined up on the left and right, stretched out their hands to stop the media, and protected Lin Xuan in the middle.

Today's situation is special, so Qian Ze is the one driving.

"Hello Lin Xuan, I'm a reporter from xx Times. What do you think of participating in the Spring Festival Gala for the first time?"

"It's an honor, I'm excited, and I'm looking forward to it."

"Can you tell us a little bit about tonight's show?"

"No!" "Are you singing or performing martial arts tonight?"

"You will know after watching it tonight."

……

Lin Xuan lowered his head, as if participating in a quick question and answer game.

Two bodyguards protected him as he walked inside. Upon seeing this, CCTV security guards also rushed over to help.

After a lot of effort, a group of people finally sent Lin Xuan into the CCTV building.

"Oh my gosh, there's so much media here today."

Lin Xuan looked back and couldn't help but sigh.

He was no stranger to media reporters and had been surrounded by them several times, but this was the first time he had seen such a big battle.

Hundreds of people from the capital, from other places, and even foreign media came, which shows how influential the Spring Festival Gala is.

Entering the building and arriving at the dressing room for the Spring Festival Gala, it was already packed with people.

Lin Xuan took a look and found that he couldn't get in, so he simply sat outside and waited slowly.

He didn't have to worry, the rehearsals were in chronological order.

"Chinese Kung Fu" is relatively late in the sequence and is actually broadcast before midnight.

"Lin Xuan!"

Lin Xuan looked up when he heard someone calling his name.

I saw Guo Donglin, Feng Gong, and Guo Yue walking over.

The three of them will perform the sketch "Excessive" tonight, which is also Lin Xuan's favorite sketch.

"Brother Guo, long time no see."

When the two met, they shook hands and hugged each other. Guo Donglin smiled and said:

"I said before that I would bring you to the Spring Festival Gala to have fun. You didn't need anyone else to take you there. You just came in yourself."

"The songs are songs and the skits are skits. That's different."

After hearing this, Guo Donglin introduced the people around him:

"This... is Mr. Feng Gong, a famous cross talk sketch artist. You should know him."

"Then we must get to know each other. I miss you so much!"

Feng Gong smiled and shook hands with him:

"Don't hurt me, I haven't reached the threshold of an artist yet."

After a brief chat, the three of them went to the dressing room to prepare for their show appearance relatively early.

The Spring Festival Gala was really a gathering of stars. Lin Xuan saw many familiar faces. It was also a good place to meet new friends.

He was not idle either, wandering around and saying hello to people.

Zhao Benshan, Guo Da, Cai Ming, Liu Huan, Tengger, Han Lei...

They are all sketch actors or singers, but actors are rare.

Although Lin Xuan came with the mentality of making friends.

But the people he took the initiative to greet were all famous seniors in the industry, or people he respected.

As for other celebrities, especially some Hong Kong and Taiwan celebrities, no matter how famous you are, Lin Xuan just pretends not to notice.

He had to maintain his reputation as the "No. [-] young man in the Mainland" and couldn't act like a servant who always greeted everyone he met.

Superstars from Hong Kong and Taiwan would not bow their heads voluntarily, so they regarded each other as nothing.

However, some people couldn't bear their temper and "condescended" and came over: "Hello Lin Xuan, I am Zhang Ziyi."

"Hello." Lin Xuan glanced at her, smiled and shook hands with her.

The heating in the studio hall was turned on fully, and Zhang Ziyi opened her down jacket, revealing the black woolen sweater underneath.

But even so, it was so dry that nothing could be seen.

"We met once when the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards were presented, but unfortunately we were too busy to talk at the time. We finally made up for it today."

"It's not too late to make up for it now. Congratulations to you, Best Actress of the Hundred Flowers Award."

"Thank you, and congratulations on winning the Golden Rooster Best New Director. If you make a movie in the future, you can contact me."

"You are an international star who has acted in Hollywood movies. How can I afford you?"

"It's okay, as long as the book is good, I'll give you a discount."

The two chatted in the corner for a long time.

To outsiders, they looked like a young couple chatting.

Lin Xuan was smiling and relatively reserved.

Zhang Ziyi's smile became even brighter, and she moved her hands and feet from time to time to make some physical contact.

Lin Xuan really wanted to leave, but Zhang Ziyi always brought up new topics.

Anyone with long eyes can see that she is really interested in Lin Xuan.

If Lin Xuan was just a handsome actor, she wouldn't be so proactive even if she liked him.

If Lin Xuan was just a young director with a box office of over [-] million, she would still be reserved.

But if you combine the two identities into one.

A handsome and talented young director who made his debut with a box office of 3600 million.

That would be worth her taking the initiative to win over.

What's more, "Adult Style of Love" has achieved good results after it was released in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan and South Korea.

Especially people over there in Little Days like this movie very much.

Toho Co., Ltd. has bought the film rights and is preparing to remake it.

This matter has hardly been reported in the mainland, but many people in the industry know about it.

Lin Xuan's ability to attract fans is too strong.

The popularity is ridiculously high, and in the eyes of young people, it is directly unique.

In this regard, it doesn't matter whether you are an international superstar or a big shot from Hong Kong and Taiwan, you can't beat him.

Based on the above conditions, Zhang Ziyi discussed with the team and prepared to formally attack him.

If I could become Lin Xuan’s public girlfriend.

Not only can she get the heroine in his new movie, it will also help her expand her popularity in the mainland.

What's more, Lin Xuan's figure and appearance are also great bonus points.

It's a pity that Lin Xuan is really not interested in her.

The smile on her face was so forced that Zhang Ziyi could see it.

You are really blind, you can't even look down on me for being so beautiful, you are looking for a fairy.

She had no choice but to use her trump card to seduce him.

"Director Zhang Yimou is going to make a new movie this year. Are you interested in participating in it? I can recommend it for you."
