Most of the celebrities who emerged in China in the 80s have two experiences, either going to the countryside to be an educated youth, or enlisting in the army as a soldier.

Ma Weidu worked as an educated youth in the countryside, a small expert in rice planting, and after returning to the city, he worked as a machine tool worker, and became a writer as a matter of course. The "Story of the Editorial Department", which made Ge Wei very popular, was produced by Ma Weidu's studio, and the partners of the studio also included Wang Shuo, Liu Zhenyun and other veterans in the literary world.

Of course, what makes the Beijing circle talk about is the "Seahorse Song and Dance Hall".

Ma Wei co-founded a song and dance hall called "Seahorse", and every day friends come to drink and dance, and it is difficult to collect money because of his face. As a result, the dance hall was full for a long time, and business was booming, but it was a mess, because the friends brought by friends were embarrassed to collect money.

How dare you take money from your friends?

Hehe, then your reputation in the Beijing circle will stink, and everyone will not be happy to play with you in the future.

Seeing that the investment was going to be wasted, Ma Wei discussed with his partner, so let's invest in making a TV series. Those guys who eat and drink are actors, directors, screenwriters, writers, singers, and photographers...... Directly pulled is a complete crew, and you can even rent shooting equipment at a low price.

"Seahorse Cabaret" was born, and all the crew members did not take a penny, all of them worked for Ma Wei as a day job, and earned back the money from opening a dance hall by selling TV series.

Of course, Ma Wei is really well-known because of his antique collection, and this master has been shopping for antiques since he was a worker.

Early in the morning, Ma Wei drove a broken car to the place where he had made an appointment with Zhang Chaoyang.

People in the Beijing circle are very righteous, of course, they only serve their friends - on the other hand, very xenophobic. When you scare people, they swarm all of them, and when you provoke one, you jump out of a bunch.

Zhang Chaoyang is naturally not qualified to join the Beijing circle, but since he has eaten together and has no conflict of interest, he can barely count half of his own people.

Ma Weidu, wrapped in a thick down jacket, walked into a breakfast shop, and shouted directly: "Boss, two fritters, a bowl of bean juice!"

Zhang Chaoyang heard the voice, stood up and beckoned: "Mr. Ma, this way!"

Ma Weidu's eyes crossed Zhang Chaoyang and quickly stopped at Song Weiyang. He shook hands with Zhang Chaoyang and said hello, and said to Song Weiyang with a smile: "Yo, I am happy today, I actually met Xiao Song Ye when I went out." ”

Song Weiyang smiled: "Curator Ma, when will I become a little Song Ye?"

Ma Weidu said: "You still don't know? The incident of you hitting Liu Bo in the face on the spot has spread throughout the Beijing circle, and everyone calls you 'Little Song Ye'." ”

"Hahaha," Song Weiyang laughed, "this nickname is majestic enough, but it sounds a bit like Yanei." ”

Xu Da Meinu is a person from the Beijing circle, Liu Bo soaked her in his hands, in addition to coveting beauty, he also wanted to break into the Beijing circle. But people in the Beijing circle like to pretend to be forced, and they especially don't like others to pretend to be forced in front of them, so they don't want to see Liu Bo, who is pretending to be a coercive. Even with it, Xu Da Beauty was temporarily excluded from the inner circle of the Beijing circle, and it was not until Xiao Gangpao and others took the position that they re-became the group pets of the Beijing circle.

At this time, the Beijing circle controls most of China's literary and film and television circles, if Liu Bo can become one of them, he will definitely get twice the result with half the effort by selling books and hype, but his pretense is regarded as a fool by the Beijing circle.

The writers who recorded the scene that day, as well as people from the Beijing circle, went back and told this thing as a joke, and spread it throughout the film and television circles and cultural circles in the entire capital every minute.

Ma Wei drank the bean juice and said: "This is our honorific title for Mr. Song, you hit Liu Bo in the face, I don't know how many people applauded." ”

"You don't want to see him like that?" Song Weiyang said with a smile.

Ma Wei said disdainfully: "Who does he wear cloth coats and shoes all day long? What kind of Wei and Jin demeanor do you play, what kind of meandering water, the whole of China is a cultural person?"

If Liu Bo wants to join the Beijing circle, he must have Shuo Ye to open the golden mouth. As for Wang Shuo's open-mouthed and closed-mouthed scolding of people as "pretty good" and "stupid", how could Liu Bo be tolerated? Wang Shuo would only have one reaction: You pretend to be a hammer cultural person, a big fool!

Huayi's Wang brothers can only sit with Shuo Ye at his dinner now, and the small steel cannon is Shuo Ye's hardcore dog legs.

Song Weiyang smiled and said, "If you are free another day, please introduce Director Ma." My girlfriend is a fan of Wang Shuo's books, and I want to treat him to a meal and get an autograph. ”

Ma Weidu said, "No problem. Just based on Xiao Song Ye's angry reprimand of Liu Bo, Lao Wang must like to make friends with you. ”

Song Weiyang said: "I want to buy a courtyard house, the kind that has been around for a long time, and Director Ma recommends one." ”

"There isn't much left," Ma Wei said with emotion, "In the past few years, real estate has been developed and a large number of ancient buildings have been demolished." The best quadrangle has become a conservation unit, and the others have been almost demolished. However, there are a few places, barely making do, but they must be renovated and rebuilt. ”

"Then it's going to trouble Curator Ma. Song Weiyang said.

After drinking the fritters and bean juice, Ma Weidu took Song Weiyang to see the house, and Zhang Chaoyang went directly to work in the company.

"Heh, you are domineering," Ma Weidu pointed to the Hummer and asked, "How much did you buy it?"

Song Weiyang said: "The factory price in the United States is about 100,000 US dollars, and my car has been modified by the original factory, and the modification fee is more expensive than the price of the car." It's not that I show off that I have money, but the shock absorption effect of the original car is not good, I sit on my ass, and the air conditioning is ordinary. ”

Ma Weidu smiled and said, "Then what did you buy the picture?"

Song Weiyang said: "It's awesome to drive." All four wheels of this car have flat tires, and it can also travel dozens of kilometers safely. Soak in the water all day, and you can continue to open when you scoop it up. ”

"That's awesome, I want to buy one. Ma Wei said.

Ma Weidu drove his broken car in front of him to lead the way, and soon came to an old street.

The alley is very lively, with all kinds of shouting and selling. Seeing that the Chinese New Year is approaching, there are still some children running around and setting off firecrackers.

It's just that the smell is not good, a gust of north wind blows, faintly with the smell of feces, urine and rancid water.

The car was parked in the alley, and Ma Wei pointed to the two courtyard doors and said: "These two courtyard houses, as well as the buildings next to them, are collectively called 'Suojia Garden', also known as 'Qiyuan', which is the house of Ming Shan, the minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the late Qing Dynasty." At that time, the area of Qiyuan was very large, and now only these two and a half places are demolished. In the past, there were rockery pavilions inside, but more than 20 years ago, two rockeries were removed, one was moved to Dongdan Park and the other was moved to Jingshan Park. ”

Song Weiyang said: "This is a protection unit, right?"

"Courtyard A No. 18 is a protection unit, only at the district level, it can be bought and sold, but it cannot be rebuilt without authorization," Ma Weidu said, pointing to the courtyard next door, "In fact, the cultural relics department is all stupid, and the No. 18 courtyard next door is the main body of Qiyuan. Did you see the sign for the protection of cultural relics? The content is written incorrectly, saying that this is Suo Etu's house, although Mingshan has a Chinese name and surname Suo, but it has nothing to do with Suo Etu's eight poles. What's even more ridiculous is that when the tour guide brought outsiders to visit, he also said that this was the grandmother's house of the last queen Wanrong, and Wanrong's grandmother didn't live here at all. ”

Song Weiyang said with a smile: "So, as the main body of Qiyuan, Courtyard B No. 18 is now just an ordinary house, and it is not a cultural relics protection unit at all?"

"That's what it means," Ma Wei said, "you buy it, or it will be demolished in a few years." ”

At this time, there are two courtyards in the No. 18 courtyard of B, with a total of more than 20 houses, covering an area of more than 1,000 square meters. A few years later, the house number was changed to No. 37 courtyard, and the developer demolished and repaired the parking lot. As a result, as soon as part of it was demolished, it was stopped, because the folk cultural relics protection people stood up and said that it was the main body of Qiyuan, and the protection was wrong before!

But the demolished ones were demolished, and there were still 15 rooms left, which were bought by the rich and renovated (they can be repaired after approval), and then sold at a price of 200 million yuan.

Song Weiyang asked: "Who is the real estate certificate in your hands now?"

Ma Weidu said with a smile: "They are all allocated collective houses, and there are about ten households living in each courtyard, and you have to pay for them all to move out." ”

"How much does it cost?" asked Song Weiyang.

Ma Weidu asked: "Buy all the two courtyards in Courtyard B No. 18?"

"Buy them all. Song Weiyang said

Ma Wei did the math and said: "At least 2 million up, the money is less, and people refuse to move." If you meet a few strong old men, 2.5 million will have to be spent. ”
