Chapter 522: Studio
Wu Mingzhu went to New York, Fang Yu was alone in Los Angeles, got up in the morning and had breakfast, and a female bodyguard came in to ask if she wanted to prepare a car to go out. Fang Zhen saw it very clearly, from an aesthetic point of view, this bodyguard has no fate with him at all. In this sense, this is a professional bodyguard, not like Beauva's halfway monk.
The person was arranged by Wu Mingzhu, and he could think of what was going on with his toes. Fortunately, Fang Zhen's waist didn't recover, so he didn't care about this. I felt uncomfortable and said, "How does Wu's spirit look in the morning?"
This is a self-inflicted humiliating question, and the bodyguard replied expressionlessly: "Very good!"
This bodyguard named Anna has a very ordinary face, not to mention a thick figure, and Fang Yu feels that the muscles under his clothes will not be too few.
Go out and follow the address given by Duan Mei to find a two-story building with a courtyard, this kind of structure is often seen in movies. The people of the United States have the habit of spending ahead of time, and it is not a matter to take out a loan to buy a house. The subprime mortgage crisis began with lending. If there is no regulation of finance, it can really pierce the sky for you.
It is said that Hoover is not as good as Roosevelt, this unlucky boy caught up with the Great Depression, he was really free economy at that time, and there was no move to save the market at all. His approach was really miserable in the short term, and in the long run, without Hoover's early policies, Roosevelt's New Deal might not have been so effective.
How did the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States do? Give money to Wall Street and save finance first. This is the same as saving the stock market during the epidemic. The whole world pays for the things that Wall Street has done, and Wall Street is dead. Again, the dollar and oil are really pegged, and even so, the world is beginning to think about new energy.
stepped forward and rang the doorbell, and soon a head poked out of it, it didn't seem to be recognized, it was a white woman: "Hello, who are you looking for?"
The neighborhood is nice, not far away is a police car patrolling, which belongs to the rich people's residence. Fang Yu stood there, followed by an expressionless bodyguard, no matter how he looked at it, he had to be polite to him.
"I'm Luomei Duan's brother, is she in there?" The white woman was stunned for a moment, and then showed a flustered smile: "Please wait a moment, I'll call her." The door slammed shut, and the panicked look was obvious to everyone.
Fang Zhen frowned and muttered, "Hell, what is this guy doing here?" Especially when Duan Mei is rich again, to tell the truth, Fang Yu is still very worried, and even regrets it a little, she is too generous to her. The original idea was to make her mother Yu Fen's life a little better, but now it seems that she has not thought about it.
About ten minutes passed before the door opened again, and Duan Mei looked surprised: "Brother, why didn't you say it in advance when you came, I will pick you up at the airport?"
As he spoke, he came out and opened the courtyard door, and wanted Fang Zhen to enter. Fang Yuyi raised his hand: "What was that woman doing just now?"
These words startled Duan Mei, she can have today all thanks to Fang Zhen, even if she is not short of money now, the other party is full of awe. Sensing the doubt, he immediately explained in a low voice: "Her name is Julia, my classmate." Yesterday was the weekend, and the studio had a party here, so you didn't have time to clean it up yet. I just cleaned it up. ”
Fang Zhen said with a stiff face: "There is no question about making friends, but you must pay attention to one point, some things can't be touched to death, and they will be destroyed if you touch someone." You have to be cautious and cautious in this regard, and you can't be persuaded by others, and you will touch that kind of thing out of curiosity. Also, there are occasions where you'd better not go, and it's almost the right thing to do in this country to discriminate and bully Chinese Americans. ”
Duan Mei was still very smart, for fear that Fang Yu would misunderstand her, so she nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "I know that my brother cares about me, and I usually pay attention to it, and I don't associate with some unmotivated people." Julia is a Hispanic who struggles to study in the United States, and she cares about the job and is one of the best employees in the studio. She relied on this to save money and pay off the loan when she graduated. ”
The reputation of the student loan in the United States was only known because of ***, and it was not paid off until he was about to become president. This is still relatively smooth, and the tuition fees of good universities in the United States are simply unaffordable for children from ordinary families. If you study well, you can take out a loan, and after you work, you will pay it back for twenty or thirty years.
A lot of things in the United States are good, but these good things are not so friendly to ordinary people.
"Well, this is very good, in this place of rice, the first thing to make friends is to see if you have the habit of saving. Fang Yu nodded approvingly, but Duan Mei smiled and said, "Brother, you also underestimate our school, those who study over there, and their families have some money." It is not easy for children from ordinary families to go to a prestigious school, and even if they are admitted, they may not be able to study. ”
One thing to say, the credit system of universities here in the United States is a good thing, especially private schools, which are notoriously difficult to graduate. Therefore, the people who can graduate from these prestigious schools should not be underestimated.
"What you say is more down-to-earth, unlike some jokers in China who make up jokes, what you don't care about at home when you are eighteen years old, and you leave it outside to fend for yourself. And what kind of happy education is all nonsense to fool people. Do you think those who have graduated from a community college can work on Wall Street? If you look at that place on Wall Street, you might be talked to by the police. Fang Yu complained casually.
Finally, she entered the door, and Julia was sweating and dragging a vacuum cleaner.
"Fang, I wasn't rude enough just now, I'm sorry. Julia remembered that Fang Yu was the big boss of this studio, and quickly salvaged her impression. She didn't have time to put on makeup, so she said hello and went back to her room.
Fang Yu came in and sat down in a hurry, walked around the house and looked around, looking at it while repaying it: "Is this house a loan?"
"Brother, you are too underestimating people, I didn't spend money indiscriminately, after I bought a house with the manuscript fee, most of the rest was in the stock market, and I bought the shares of Intel Company you said. I even bought a Japanese car just to save fuel. ”
Duan Mei spoke, introducing the situation of the studio by the way: "We live upstairs, and our work is also upstairs. Julia also paid rent when she lived here, but there weren't that much. She lives here diligently, she cleans up the upstairs for a living, and cleans downstairs, can't go upstairs. ”
Fang Yu was very pleased to say this, felt that she had grown, nodded frequently, and followed upstairs to take a look, three rooms with two people, in the center is the studio, and there is a long table against the wall, and a row of computers are placed.
"Everybody comes here to work, and they can't take their manuscripts with them when they leave. Julia also works part-time as an accountant here, and I don't charge her rent. She was very satisfied with this. I think it's better that she doesn't owe me anything. People here are like that, everything has to be clearly divided. For example, if I buy stocks, she won't buy them when she gets the money, but save them, and I don't persuade her to buy them. ”
There is a safe in Duan Mei's bedroom, pointing to the safe, she explains: "I have copied all the manuscripts I have written and put them in the safe, and all the documents in the computer have been deleted, and the outline has not been left." I'm a little stricter now, and the authors are happy, and they can say anything clearly. 100 yuan for 1,000 words, many people are looking for me, but do you need people? ”
Duan Mei was very excited, and it could be seen that she was very satisfied with the current situation. opened the safe, and Duan Mei also took out a stack of documents: "The copyright registration is all in it, and it's all my brother's name." Now this studio is a bit famous, and many directors have seen the script, and they will call to inquire if they have nothing to do, but I have refused. Not to mention anything else on the side of the United States, copyright protection is doing a very good job. ”
"That's because it's good for the United States, and once upon a time, the United States was also a copycat country. Germany and Japan used to be copycat countries, and when they reached a certain stage of development, they would also attach importance to copyright protection in China. Fang Yu didn't say anything bad, he just explained the facts. Isn't that how all the rising countries came over?
There was a knock on the door, and when I looked back, Julia was standing in the doorway, a simple combination of jeans and a shirt, tied at the waist, fully showing off her good waist and her sun-colored skin full of elasticity and shine.
"Eat something at noon, if you don't mind, I'll make it, now I need to go shopping, and I used up the refrigerator last night. ”
Duan Mei didn't make the decision, but turned her head to look at Fang Yu, to which Fang Yu nodded slightly, not to trouble Julia, but to see how this person is, after all, living with Duan Mei, there are questions that will be affected.
"Then I'll trouble you, remember how much it costs first, and I'll write you a check when I come back." Duan Mei agreed, and Julia didn't mean to stay, waving her hand and turning to go out, as if the other party was not interested in it at all.
Fang Yu has also passed the stage of strong hormones, unless it is like Sister Tianxian, or during the tender period, he will look at it for a while, and the general high appearance is just to look at it twice. Julia's appearance, in Fang's opinion, is just like that, her attraction lies in the enthusiasm and exuberant energy that is unique to South Americans.
"Who usually cooks?" Fang Yu said casually, and Duan Mei smiled: "We only cook by ourselves occasionally on weekends, how can we usually have time, we have to go to school and write manuscripts." Because of this studio, I was worried that I wouldn't be able to graduate in five years. Also, people here in the United States like to talk to each other, which is very annoying, and every time you have to decisively and simply refuse. It's like being in China, talking indiscriminately on the street, for fear of being treated as a hooligan. ”
These words made Fang Zhen trance, he also came over like this, it's not that no one falls in love at school, but do you say that whoever dares to talk to a beautiful woman on the street will talk to him? After 20 years, maybe this phenomenon will be more.
"By the way, on the studio's account, the film and television company has paid a lot of dividends. I asked the office to pay the tax on my behalf. ”
That's right, Fang Yu's script is to share dividends, and he doesn't take the so-called manuscript fee.
