Chapter 18: The Owner's Mansion
You need to form a harmonious team first, and then you can work more together.
For this reason, Luo Yingshi chose a bunch of female actors as alternates, instead of directly replacing them with a member of Girls' Generation according to Lin Zhicheng's wishes.
Of course, Lin Zhicheng is the sponsor of the sponsorship, and his opinion cannot be completely ignored. Therefore, at the end of the waitlist, Luo Yingshi still added Sunny's name.
As for the other members of Girls' Generation, they still didn't get his favor.
Sunny will be selected, this is because she has a good relationship with the current members - before filming "Grandpa Over Flowers" At that time, Li Ruizhen personally said that his favorite idol was Sunny;On the way to the treasure island,Although Sunny joined halfway,But she quickly won the favor of Shen Jiu and other four grandfathers with her own tricks,Leave a very good impression in their hearts;The only one who has not been in contact with is Yin Ruzhen,However,With Sunny's ability to please the elders,I don't think there will be any problem。
All in all, the good phase is the biggest reason why Luo Yingshi added Sunny to the waitlist, and it is not an exaggeration to say that this part of the reason even accounts for more than 80%.
In any case, Sunny's selection gave Lin Zhicheng a chance, so according to his preference, he did not hesitate to make a recommendation.
"Sunny, well, I expected you to recommend her, and that's her. "Now that I've been put on the waiting list, I naturally won't have any more opinions at this time. After listening to Lin Zhicheng's words, Luo Yingshi nodded and agreed.
However, it is not enough for Luo Yingshi to be relieved, it is better to contact the S.m company first to see what they mean.
Without saying a word, Luo Yingshi directly took out his mobile phone and contacted Sunny's agent.
Girls' Generation is not in the event period now, and Sunny, as one of the members, happens to have a lot of free time, and it is also an invitation from the ace variety show PD Luo Yingshi, and the show to participate in is "Yin Canteen", which has caused a lot of conversation, so what is there to hesitate about?
didn't even talk about the price of the acting fee, and after a few words, the agent took over the trip for Sunny.
"OK, that's it. "Let's go back to the details, anyway, Sunny's joining can already be determined. Hanging up the phone, Luo Yingshi's face showed a slightly smug smile.
The candidate has been decided, and the preparation work can be regarded as more than half completed, and there is another important point, which is to go to the Nalan Islands for a field trip.
The name of the show is "Yin Canteen", since it is to open a restaurant that is open to the public, then, it is necessary to choose a suitable location, at the very least, it cannot be opened in an inaccessible place.
Moreover, Lin Zhicheng came to invite this time, the main purpose is to promote the charm of the Nalan Islands, so when choosing an address for the restaurant, try to choose a good place with good scenery that can arouse the audience's interest.
stayed in Seoul for two more days, and after Luo Yingshi formed an early investigation team, Lin Zhicheng returned to the Nalan Islands with them.
Back on the island, Lin Zhicheng became the host, and Luo Yingshi and his helpers became guests.
Although the other party is here for work, but in the end, it is the identity of the guest, and it is reasonable to entertain it first.
The day after he returned, Lin Zhicheng invited Luo Yingshi and others to his owner's mansion on Changshou Island.
"Wow~~~~!"
I have seen a lot of the world from south to north, but the island owner's mansion owned by Lin Zhicheng still caused an exclamation from Luo Yingshi and others.
Located in the center of the courtyard, the main house has three floors and a floor area of about 400 square meters. Although it is completely unrelated to the castle in appearance, the building materials of this house are the same as those of European castles, and they are all made of large strips of stone.
For example, the reinforced concrete building, the big house in front of you is obviously much more stylish, and this sense of heaviness alone is not comparable to that of modern houses.
And because of the old age, the outer wall of the west side of the house is still covered with a wall of creepers, with green leaves and vines as embellishments, which makes the originally somewhat stiff and dull big house a little more interesting.
The main entrance of the house is fronted by a main stone-paved path, flanked by two cobblestone paths. Either leading directly to the main entrance of the courtyard, or winding around the courtyard, these roads made of all-natural materials are also full of different charms.
From the main entrance of the house to the entrance of the courtyard, there is a wide open space. Although it is almost November, and although the Nalan Islands are located at a latitude similar to that of the Magic Capital, the lawn in the courtyard is still fresh green because of the oceanic climate.
In the middle of the lawn is a pool of nearly half an acre. Because of the reference to the living water, the water in the pond is exceptionally clear, through the pool water, you can clearly see the koi swimming on the water surface, with the occasional seabirds flying to the edge of the pond to rest and drink, the existence of the pond brings a lot of vitality and wild interest to the whole yard.
On the left side of the lawn, there are two more houses.
Compared to the main house, these two houses are a little simpler, but if you put them in Seoul, they can be considered very good villas. After all, they occupy about 100 square meters of ground, and they are two-story buildings in Western style.
John, the old housekeeper, and several servants who were responsible for taking care of the yard, all lived in the main house with Lin Zhicheng, after all, their service object was Lin Zhicheng, the owner of the island, so they naturally had to live closer.
In other words, the two small cottages on the left side of the lawn were not for servants, but for the previous generation of owners to entertain friends.
There is also a building on the right side of the lawn, which is a flower house 40 meters long and 15 meters wide. Because of the personal hobbies of the previous generation of island owners, there are not many ordinary flowers and plants in the flower room, but they are full of various styles of clay pots, planted with various potted plants, large and small.
Just seeing this landscape at first glance has already opened the eyes of Luo Yingshi and others. But in fact, there are still things they haven't seen for the time being.
For example, there are two basements under the main house, one large and one small.
The larger one was used as a wine cellar and stored a variety of fine wines, including not only the famous red wines of the Western world, but also the aged white wines that the previous generation of island owners had specially obtained from the Celestial Empire because of their homesickness.
The slightly smaller basement is what Lin Zhicheng calls a treasure room - although most of the things stored here are memorabilia related to his uncle's life and have little economic value, there are also some good treasures with real collectible value among the wide variety of collections.
Of course, these things don't need to be shown to Luo Yingshi and others, after all, at this time, Lin Zhicheng and Luo Yingshi and others can't be regarded as real friends.
"It's almost time, guys, you can take a break. John, let's go get lunch ready. Lin Zhicheng and the old housekeeper John took Luo Yingshi and others to visit the main house, looked at the time, Lin Zhicheng first commanded the old housekeeper, and then led Luo Yingshi and others to the small villa on the left side of the lawn: "Oh, this is a guest room prepared for you, I hope you can be satisfied." Oh, by the way, your luggage has been brought by the maid, right over there. ”
Compared to the main house that I just visited, the décor and furnishings in the rooms are more modern. Although it is a little less heavy and not so emotional, it is the best place to entertain guests in a relatively relaxed and comfortable atmosphere.
Lin Zhicheng didn't need to worry about how to allocate the room, and after a few polite words, Lin Zhicheng left for the time being.
"Huh?" Originally, he was going to go back to the main house to rest for a while, but suddenly, a crisp phone rang from Lin Zhicheng's pocket.
"Cousin Cheng~~~!" connected the phone, and Cao Lili's shout like a yellow bird immediately came from the other end.
Just like when he was at home, he still had a fiery temper, no, before Lin Zhicheng could say hello, Cao Lili asked like a machine gun: "Cousin Cheng, did you go to South Korea a few days ago? What are you doing there? By the way, I heard from a friend that it is easy to meet celebrities on the road over there, have you ever met them? Also, didn't you go to eat Han Dingshi, how does it taste, is it really delicious...... ”
A large number of questions smashed over with a slash on his face, making Lin Zhicheng dizzy. It was easy to wait for Cao Lili's excitement to pass, and then he responded a little helplessly: "How do you ask me to answer so many questions at once? Okay, I did go to South Korea once, and I stayed there for a few days." But that was a few days ago, so why did you call at this point?"
"It's not that I'm distressed about the phone bill. There was a calm complaint on the phone, okay, it turns out that the eldest sister Cao Lingling is also there.
Imagining Cao Lili's little appearance of wanting to call herself to ask what was going on, but she was hesitant because of the high charge for long-distance calls, Lin Zhicheng couldn't help laughing: "Cao Xiaolu, didn't I give you pocket money? What about tens of thousands of yuan, what are you doing? I can't afford to call my cousin?"
"Isn't this a fight~. Although I can't see it, through the tone, it is easy to imagine Cao Lili's unhappy little expression now: "Really, cousin, you didn't say that you would save more money for others in advance." ”
"You're beautiful. Lin Zhicheng crooked the corners of his mouth: "Okay, let's talk, what's the matter with the call?
