Chapter 168: Renting a House

It's just that this time is no longer the same as in the past, although Lin Xiaoguang has not yet taken the lead in a TV series as the leading actor, but with the many popular film and television works he has participated in in the past, he has become a "golden supporting role" around the male protagonists of many film and television dramas.

Pinching his fingers, starting from Ding Xiaodi in "The Sword of the Third Young Master" playing an important supporting role, Lin Xiaoguang has experienced the baptism of many TV series such as "Clever Little Don't Understand", "Merry Genius Ji Xiaolan", "Like Fog, Like Rain and Like Wind", "Fengyun", etc., it is no exaggeration to say that as long as he Lin Xiaoguang plays a supporting role in the TV series, they have won quite high ratings in each David TV, and some dramas even rank among the top three in the annual ratings list.

It is said that Lin Xiaoguang is full of luck, whether he has the halo of the protagonist, or that he has a unique vision in film selection, industry insiders praise him as a "ratings elixir", which is not too hymn, right?

It can be seen that it is not a surprise that the crew of "The Secret History of Xiaozhuang" invited Lin Xiaoguang to play the third male lead in the play, what really surprised Lin Xiaoguang was not the problem of receiving the play, but because the heroine of the play "The Secret History of Xiaozhuang" was quiet.

To put it mildly, Lin Xiaoguang and Ning Jing can be regarded as revolutionary comrades-in-arms who have slept on the same quilt, but unfortunately they do not agree on the same three views, and the personality conflict is obvious, after all, they are not the same kind of people, this Lin Xiaoguang has just been freed from "The Imperial City Condor of the Great Qin Mission" for a few days, seeing that he is going to spread his wings and fly high, and he wants to fall into the hands of Ning Ning again, is there anything more depressing than this......

Of course, Lin Xiaoguang is reluctant to renew his relationship with Tranquility, either he hates her as a person, or he simply doesn't like her own temper and desire to control, and the final result of the two of them being together is nothing more than a troublesome breakup.

However, the existence of tranquility is not the main reason why Lin Xiaoguang gave up "The Secret History of Xiaozhuang", he is not so capricious, and he is very clear between personal feelings and work.

There is a good saying, it is better to be a chicken head than a phoenix tail, the script of "The Secret History of Xiaozhuang" is good, but the script of "Human Life is Critical" is not bad, not to mention, Lin Xiaoguang has already played so many supporting roles in film and television dramas, and it is time to challenge the male number one himself.

In short, in the end, Lin Xiaoguang chose "Human Lives Matter", a new drama that is about to start filming in the magic capital.

The salary offered to him by the producer of "Human Lives Matter" is 12,000 yuan per episode, which is the highest salary since he acted.

This price made Lin Xiaoguang happy, but he didn't expect that the producer of this crew was still a hidden tyrant.

In fact, this price is not high at all.

Many inexperienced film school students can get a salary of thousands of yuan per episode, not to mention Lin Xiaoguang, an actor who has already had so many excellent works.

He felt high, and he could only say that he was poor to the bone when he used to run tricks in Hengdian, and the salary of Yang Ruoxi, the heroine in the play, was definitely only a lot more.

Being able to stay in the bustling magic capital, live in the house he bought, get the opportunity to start work, and have a good salary, Lin Xiaoguang is really satisfied.

He is now waiting for the greeting from "Human Lives Matter", and then he began to study the script and figure out the role during this time.

But before that, he didn't know that there was something waiting for him......

Lin Xiaoguang was happy here, but Liu Tao was very depressed.

The brokerage company in Guangzhou, although Liu Tao was contacted with a play in the magic capital, what is the name of the play "Modern Youth", which is known as the Chinese version of "Six", it sounds like it is very powerful, but it is actually a crew with a small investment.

Moreover, this is a unit drama, each unit is an independent story, and Liu Tao is the heroine of one of the units.

There are only seven episodes, but you have to stay here in the magic capital for a month......

Moreover, because he asked the crew for leave to go out to take on the play, the company's commission was also very strong, and 30% to 40% of Liu Tao's income had to be given to the economic company where "Foreign Daughter-in-law Local Lang" was located, the most outrageous thing is that because the main actors of the play are students of the Shanghai Theater Academy, as well as local actors in Shanghai, they all have their own places to stay, therefore, the crew of "Modern Youth" did not arrange accommodation for her.

There are still a few days before the crew of "Modern Youth" starts, and Liu Tao didn't expect that renting a house would become the first thing and the first task he had to face after coming to the strange city of Magic Capital.

In order to find a suitable house to rent, Liu Tao has contacted an intermediary many times in the past two days, and this intermediary agency has also enthusiastically found several houses for her to rent, but in the end, either because the rent is high or because Liu Tao himself is not satisfied, and no intention or agreement has been reached.

Another day passed, while the new drama had not yet started filming, Liu Tao was still anxiously looking at the house, that is, that afternoon, Lin Xiaoguang finally came out of the customs and went out to sign the contract of "Human Life Matters".

When Lin Xiaoguang signed the contract and returned to the lobby of the Shangri-La Hotel, he happened to meet Liu Tao, who had come back from a house viewing, and learned about the accommodation problems that Liu Tao had faced recently.

In other words, although this Shangri-La is not a star-rated hotel, it is not a guest house that can be stayed for dozens of yuan, with Liu Tao's current income, of course, there is no pressure to live here for a day or two, but if she spends three or two hundred yuan a day to live for a month, then she will feel a little sorry for her hard-earned money.

In fact, Liu Tao's economic conditions are very average, so far, she has made two dramas in the two years since her debut, one is "Foreign Daughter-in-law Local Lang", and the other is "The Imperial City Condor of the Great Qincha", Liu Tao's salary in these two dramas is not high, and he has to send money home every month.

In addition, Liu Tao followed the intermediary to look around outside and came back today, either the rent was too high and too far, or she was sharing a house with a stranger, she no longer had any hope for renting a house, and this time she met Lin Xiaoguang, so she complained to him by the way.

When Lin Xiaoguang heard this, he was interested.

Lin Xiaoguang smiled and quipped: "If you want to rent a house, you can find me, why didn't you say it earlier? I thought you had money and could live in the hotel every day." ”

Liu Tao looked puzzled, and said in his heart, you guy can talk coolly, he has been locked in his room for the past two days in confinement, I want to ask you for help, but have you always shown your head?

And don't you stay at the Shangri-La Hotel all day like me? What's the use of looking for you?

Liu Tao sighed and asked helplessly, "Do you have any good ideas?"

Lin Xiaoguang said seriously: "I won't tell you, my family just lacks an aunt to clean up, I think you are quite suitable in all aspects, do you want to consider going to my house to have a look?"

"Yes, did you really buy a house in Shanghai?" Liu Tao asked with surprise and joy.

It's not that Liu Tao doesn't believe Lin Xiaoguang, she has heard Lin Xiaoguang say before that he seems to have bought a house in Shanghai, but Liu Tao doesn't know whether Lin Xiaoguang is bragging, anyway, after coming to the magic capital, Lin Xiaoguang never said that he would invite himself to his house to sit, in order not to hurt Lin Xiaoguang's self-esteem, so that he couldn't get off the stage, she didn't ask this question.

Lin Xiaoguang said angrily: "You just say that you don't want to go, as long as you help me clean up every day, I don't charge you rent." ”

Liu Tao shook his head and said solemnly: "It's no problem to help you clean up, I have to live there myself anyway, but the rent must be given to you, I don't want to owe you a favor." ”

Hearing Liu Tao say so much, Lin Xiaoguang also said bluntly: "You look at the house first, let's talk about it, what if you don't like it?"

Liu Tao thought about it and felt that it made sense, so he nodded: "What you said is reasonable, then go to see the house first." ”

Faced with Lin Xiaoguang's seemingly "ill-intentioned" invitation, Liu Tao wanted to refuse at first, but in the end she couldn't help but agree, and after going to Lin Xiaoguang's house to see the house, she found that the environment of the community was very good, the house was very large, there were many rooms, and it was also sunny, and she couldn't say what she liked in her heart.

Seeing that Liu Tao was a little overjoyed, Lin Xiaoguang gave her an idea: "If you like it, you can live in peace, they are all old friends who have filmed together, it's too vulgar to talk about money, I won't charge you rent, if you really feel that you live in my house for free, if you don't want to go, you can choose to help me wash clothes, cook and mop the floor, really, don't talk to me about money anymore." ”

Liu Tao had heard about "cohabiting" with a man before, but she felt that she was still a little uneasy about living under the same roof with a man she was not so familiar with.

Therefore, Liu Tao is still a little hesitant about Lin Xiaoguang's suggestions.

I saw that Lin Xiaoguang blinked again and said, "I said, Comrade Liu Tao, now that you want to find a better house and want a cheaper rent, where can such a good thing happen? ”

Hearing Lin Xiaoguang say this, Liu Tao thought again, anyway, he lives alone, and two people also live, since he has repeatedly emphasized that there is no need for rent, for the sake of money, for the sake of his kindness, he will be willful.

However, Liu Tao has already made up his mind about the rent, so he will not discuss it with Lin Xiaoguang for the time being, and then secretly give him the money when he leaves.

After talking, Lin Xiaoguang happily went to his bedroom to clean up, while Liu Tao went back to another room to clean up.
