In order to show that he was digging out his soul behind closed doors and writing a report on his thoughts on studying abroad, Gu Biao stayed in the courtyard of Yuyuantan for two whole days.

However, in fact, he is also quite hardworking, but the person who started writing is Xiao Sui, and Gu Biao needs to be responsible for providing materials for Xiao Sui and motivating morale. Always make your fiancée look better, so that she will write like a god.

Xiao Sui is also worthy of Gu Biao's literary courage, and the article is full of flowers, and at the same time, he did not forget to flip through the academic work "On China" co-authored by Gu Biao.

In fact, Xiao Sui has read this book several times, after all, it is a book written by her husband, how could she not like to read it. When I read it now, I am just trying to extract some selling points such as "Gu Biao and Kissinger have either intrigued, or have cooperated with the same interests, and have contributed to paralyzing Americans' vigilance against China" and write them into the ideological report.

Gu Biao was very relieved about this.

Two days later, Gu Biao first went to the ministry again, handed over his thoughts, and waited for the organization to discuss the arrangements for him. Then there are two more days to enjoy.

He wanted to go home and wait for a reporter from Xinhua News Agency to come to interview, but he didn't expect to wait for Director Liu of the China Academy of Fine Arts first.

Gu Biao entertained him eagerly, and also took foreign exchange coupons from the restaurant of the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse next door to order a table of expensive delicacies for hospitality.

"Director Liu is worthy of being a famous person, and I am very satisfied with the repair of this house. ”

After setting up the banquet in the main hall, Gu Biao personally opened a bottle of Lafite the year before and poured wine for everyone.

Since a few months ago, when he received Kong Shangzhong's inheritance after the self-explosion, he got a thousand boxes of Lafite the year before last, Gu Biao asked people to go to France to pick up dozens of boxes for private entertaining guests.

Gu Biao is not a fried dog, the money is just spent and not all used to wait for the hype to increase in value.

Besides, if you drink 20 cases by yourself for 1,000 cases, that's not a big proportion. Gu Biao is not an alcoholic, enough for him to drink and entertain guests for five or six years.

Director Liu took a sip with a slight trembling, and then took a Buddha jumping over the wall that the maid held for him, and tasted it with appreciation. After a few words of praise, he picked up Gu Wei's words:

"Gu Sheng is really blessed, this place is backed by Yuyuan Lake and Yongding Canal, adjacent to the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse, and facing the Foreign Affairs University. Such a high-grade land, and all the corners of the park are zoned to you as a garden, which will be difficult to find in the capital in the future. Even if Huo Ye and the charter king want to come to the capital to invest in the future, I am afraid they will not have such good treatment. ”

"It's just the right time, it's just the right time. Gu Biao was not arrogant, his face was calm and humble, "Director Liu, I'll take you to see it in a while, and help me plan again." ”

"That's what I'm here for, and I deserve to do my best. Director Liu looked obliged.

After the banquet, Director Liu followed Gu Biao out to investigate.

It's said to be a survey, but in fact, there's nothing to see, because there has always been a fenced garden next door.

Gu Biao's original house was later filled with some depths, and another layer of inverted seats can be built in the future, so that the five-entry courtyard itself is about 48 rooms.

The garden next to it is composed of two parts, one part is boxy, slightly wider than the courtyard itself, about 72 rooms, adding up to 120 rooms, 4,300 square meters.

However, on the most corner of Yuyuantan Park, there is also a triangular useless place that is obliquely cut by Yongding Canal, and after the square land next to it is circled by Gu Wei, this corner has also become a fragmented enclave, and it is useless to keep it, so it was also circled by the relevant departments by the way. That's a total area of more than 6,000 square meters, which is about the same size as the mansions in Beverly Hills, which stipulate one and a half acres.

If you don't have an idea of this area, you can roughly compare: other classical gardens in the capital, Prince Gong's Mansion is 63,000 square meters, and the Grand View Garden to be built in the future is close to 130,000 square meters.

Gu Biao's mansion is also equivalent to one-tenth of Prince Gong's Mansion and one-twentieth of the Grand View Garden.

And Prince Gong's Mansion is not a separate courtyard house with N entry, it is actually composed of nearly 30 building complexes.

Gu Biao's mansion, in the eyes of Director Liu, can be divided into three buildings and garden groups very uprightly, which is similar to the three scenic spots in Prince Gong's mansion.

Director Liu is engaged in the research of antique architecture and landscape architecture, although he does not have Pei's creativity, but he has a lot of experience in "how to build a house with ancient atmosphere, interior and modern luxury". He only glanced at it a few times, and then suggested:

"Gu Sheng, your original building, I built it for you according to the Ning Guo Mansion in "Dream of Red Mansions" in my imagination, but that is fictional, no one has ever seen Ning Guo Mansion, so I actually compared the Jiale Hall and Tianxiang Court of Prince Gong's Mansion, with the east and west compartments. Now that the back has added a deep entrance, it is better to match the inverted seat of the cover building, hugging the building, and the shape is complete.

As for the land next to the garden, I think the size is just enough to fit the Dicui Pavilion and Tingyuxuan in Prince Gong's mansion. I'll help you process it artistically on that basis, remove the flashy ones, and refer to the descriptions of Qiu Shuangzhai and Hengwuyuan in "Dream of Red Mansions", you see how it is. ”

Gu Biao didn't care about these hypocrisy, and nodded casually.

Xiao Sui, who was on the side, was stimulated by the temperament of a young woman in literature and art, and hurriedly asked: "Can't you build a Xiaoxiang Pavilion?" When I was a child, I always fantasized about living in Xiaoxiang Pavilion. ”

Which young woman in literature and art has no thoughts in her heart, Xue Baochai's character is going to hit the street in the female frequency.

Director Liu listened, but was embarrassed: "If Miss Xiao insists, it is not impossible, but bamboo cannot be grown in the north, and bamboo forests grow in a warm and humid environment." ”

Xiao Sui knew that he was out of life and lacked common sense, so he hurriedly changed his words: "It's because I don't know, Director Liu don't laugh." But I see that in "Dream of Red Mansions", the four major families written by Cao Xueqin all live in the capital, why is there a Xiaoxiang Pavilion in the Grand View Garden?"

Director Liu said with a smile: "If you really want to be so examined, there are too many goots." Cao Xueqin literally wrote about the capital, but the years when he actually experienced a prosperous and wealthy life were in his parent's Jiangning weaving office, so what he remembered was actually the scenery of Jinling. ”

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart. Gu Biao subconsciously thought about it, he had traveled to the capital many times in later generations, and knew that there was a scenic spot in the second ring of the south of the capital that was the Grand View Garden, which was completely imitated from the scenery in the dream of the Red Mansion. Could it be that the Xiaoxiang Pavilion there is completely devoid of bamboo?

It's too far away from the previous life, and Gu Biao can't remember these details, so this matter can't be verified.

However, Gu Biao remembered that in this plane, based on his knowledge of the capital in the past few years of studying at the Foreign Affairs Academy, it seems that the capital has not yet created the attraction of the Grand View Garden. Perhaps, it is the relevant cultural departments in the future that will make four famous works, so they will slowly make them.

If what Director Liu said is true, I'm afraid that this Grand View Garden will not be able to be filmed after it is built, and I still have to go to the south to get some when I shoot it, after all, there is no Xiaoxiang Pavilion with a tall bamboo forest, can I still shoot "Dream of Red Mansions"?

Of course, this matter is a bit far away, Gu Biao is temporarily asking Director Liu to help him repair the garden, as for whether to give the "Lanting Cinema" project a little more chips and expand business, there is no need to think about it for the time being.

Anyway, Gu Biao has never heard of any signs of preparation for "Dream of Red Mansions".

Gu Biao made up his mind about it, so he casually ordered: "Suizi, you are in the literature workshop anyway, if you have time, listen to it when you chat with your classmates and teachers at the party, are there any costume dramas with model tasks in the ministry recently." ”

Xiao Sui's eyes rolled: "Do you want to pull back the cost of the shooting project for Lanting Cinema again?"

Gu Biao: "Almost, after all, the country is so poor now, and there are such big projects over there, and we can't afford to pay if they are not fully reused." ”

Of course, his words are true and false, and there are many excuses. But he didn't mean to cheat on his girlfriend, but he had a prescient reason that it was not easy to say, so let's deal with it like this.

After discussing with Xiao Sui, Gu Biao turned around and took care of Director Liu: "I am very satisfied with your creativity, so I will use the real scenes in Prince Gong's Mansion as the base, and use the Daguan Garden attractions described in Cao Xueqin's "Dream of Red Mansions" as a play, and do a good job."

Perhaps, in the future, if someone really wants to build a Grand View Garden and shoot a TV series, they will come to you as a consultant. You should use my place to practice your hands, and don't think about money. ”

Director Liu: "That's really borrowing your auspicious words." ”

Gu Biao thought about it again and asked: "By the way, in the professional direction of antique architecture and landscape architecture, is the academic strength of your China Academy of Art good?"

Director Liu seemed to be suspicious because of his professionalism, and was very angry: "Gu Sheng, what are you talking about, although you are an employer, if you doubt my professional level, you can ask Gao Ming!"

Gu Biao raised his hand and made a gesture to stop: "I don't mean that, I mean, how do you compare with the director of the corresponding design institute of the Central Academy of Fine Arts? ”

As we all know, although the China Academy of Fine Arts has the prefix of "China", it is actually an art academy in Qiantang. Gu Biao also invited Director Liu to help because he was from Qiantang and had a good relationship with his hometown. He was also afraid that he would be too arrogant in a place like the capital and would be manipulated.

However, in the art circle, it is generally recognized that the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing is stronger than the Chinese Academy of Fine Arts, and there is no suspense. Although Gu Biao doesn't understand art, the art teacher in the middle school in his previous life, who graduated from the China Academy of Art, admits that his alma mater is not good and is not as good as the central government.

However, Director Liu is very confident to justify his name: "Hehe, if you want to say that the branch of 'fine arts', our National Academy is not as good as the Central Academy, I admit it." But the branch of design is not false at all.

Fine arts of the Central Academy is a national key discipline, and design is only a key discipline in Beijing. The design of our institute is a key discipline of the state! Our institute is the first in China to set up a major in design, and I am absolutely confident. ”

Gu Biao patted Director Liu on the shoulder: "Then take a good look, maybe in the future, there will be big people who will come to see your on-site design results here." ”

Director Liu was taken aback: "Is there any task in the ministry?"

Gu Biao: "How do I know, I don't know them well, so I just said it casually." ”

Gu Ao's main purpose is to encourage the other party and let Director Liu work hard.

Director Liu also wanted to entangle and ask to understand, but a bodyguard who came to report helped Gu Biao relieve the siege.

"Boss, a reporter claiming to be from Xinhua News Agency arrived, saying that he wanted to interview you about 'why you were able to resist the sugar-coated shells of the Americans and resolutely return to China to serve the motherland.'" ”

Gu Biao spread his hands: "Director Liu, then you can do a good job, you see, if someone from Xinhua News Agency wants to interview me, then I will not accompany you." ”
