"Yo, this is renovated, and it looks much more than the original rough house."
When you open the door, you are greeted by snow-white walls on all sides and a wooden floor of shiny cherry wood. Knowing that Fan Ziyi was coming back, Wang Dalun came over to clean it again two days ago, and waxed the floor.
In fact, Fan Ziyi's design is relatively simple, which is very appropriate to Wang Dalun's point of view. They don't like cumbersome wallpaper or wainscoting, so the walls are painted with snow-white latex paint. The decoration is mainly expensive in the material, and the water, electricity, bathroom, and kitchen equipment are all famous brands.
"Why are you cut off here?"
Fan Ziyi's original kitchen was the same as the foreigner's kitchen on TV, which was open, but when decorating, Wang Dalun thought about adding a sliding door to separate the kitchen from the living room outside, and Fan Ziyi was very dissatisfied at first glance.
Wang Dalun hurriedly explained: "The open type is not practical, and the smoke is too big, so I added a door." ”
"Isn't there a range hood, what are you afraid of? Besides, foreigners are like this in their homes. Fan Ziyi looked at how awkward the sliding door looked, and suddenly broke the beauty from the living room to the kitchen.
"What do foreigners eat, what do we eat? What we pay attention to is frying and cooking, the smoke is too big, and the living room is full of oil smoke, and the range hood can not be smoked clean. Also, you see, my sliding door track is pressed on it, both sides can be moved, when not cooking, you can pull to the side, the kitchen and living room are still through, which does not affect the beauty! As he spoke, Wang Dalun demonstrated and pulled the sliding door to both sides.
Fan Ziyi doesn't cook and doesn't understand this, but listening to what her boyfriend said seems to be very reasonable, she looked at the sliding door with disgust, and said, "Why didn't you say it when you designed it before, now it's nondescript and ugly." ”
"It's not that I didn't expect it, but later when I actually renovated it, I found that it didn't work, so I asked the workers to help change it. I think it's okay, it's not ugly. Besides, the most important thing about living at home is practicality, isn't it? Wang Dalun said with a smile.
Fan Ziyi nodded reluctantly, held her arrogant head high, and began to inspect her territory like a queen, and first went to the two rooms to take a look, the decoration was in accordance with the drawings she had approved, and even the styles and patterns of the curtains were in accordance with her original ideas.
"Here, look at the balcony again."
Wang Dalun took her hand and walked to the south balcony, which was large and covered with large 70x70 beige tiles on the ground. At first, Fan Ziyi didn't pay attention, but after a closer look, she found that the balcony was equipped with glass.
"Isn't there a rule in the community that doesn't allow the balcony to be sealed, why did you seal it?"
"I saw that several families have sealed their homes, and besides, the invisible glass we use, not to mention the invisible glass we use, if you didn't look carefully just now, wouldn't you have found it?" Wang Dalun said proudly.
As he spoke, he stood in the middle of the balcony and said, "Look, our balcony is two meters wide and more than four meters long, adding up to nearly square meters, wouldn't it be too wasteful not to use it?" I'm going to put a desk here, and a bookcase on top of it, which is a small study, and a small round table on the other side, and two chairs, where I can sit and drink tea and look at the stars at night. What do you think? ”
"Fart stars, in this kind of weather in the capital, can you still see stars?" Although Fan Ziyi looked a little disdainful, she still agreed with her boyfriend's opinion in her heart, even if she couldn't see the stars, it seemed to feel good to imagine the two of them sitting here drinking tea.
……
Furniture City.
Fan Ziyi was choosing a sofa in the sofa area accompanied by a beautiful shopping guide, while Wang Dalun was leaning against a pillar to make a call.
"Okay, I got it. I'll confirm this with Lao Jia again, if Lao Jia's side is really going to start this fall, then I will definitely not be able to squeeze out time. ”
"Well, okay! Sister Ding, don't worry, since you were introduced by Director Zeng, you must meet you...... Got it, tomorrow at one o'clock in the afternoon, Sanlitun's Shangdao Coffee...... Okay, I'll be there tomorrow. ”
After hanging up the phone, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful, holding the mobile phone and wanting to dial, hesitated for a moment, but still put the phone in his pocket and walked towards his girlfriend.
"Sister Ding is looking for you for something?" Fan Ziyi looked up and saw him coming over and asked.
"There is a movie that was introduced by Director Zeng and wants to ask me to talk about it."
"What movie?"
"I didn't say anything specifically, I just knew that it was a Taiwanese movie, which was shot by the Zongheng International Film Company that cooperated with Rong Xinda to shoot "April Day in the World" last time. It is said that their boss himself served as the director. Make an appointment to meet tomorrow afternoon. Wang Dalun said indifferently.
"Oh...... Hey! The boss of Taiwan's Zongheng Pictures, is it Xu Ligong? ”
"I don't know what his name is, but I heard Sister Ding say what Director Xu is called, and it seems that this Director Xu is quite famous, and you know him?" Wang Dalun scratched his scalp and said. He really didn't know who the name of the boss of Zongheng Film Company was, and he didn't know that there was a famous director surnamed Xu in Taiwan.
In fact, compared with Hong Kong directors, the popularity of Taiwanese directors in the mainland is indeed relatively low. Even if he is an insider, if he wants to name Taiwanese directors, I am afraid that only Yang Dechang, Li Yu and Cai Mingliang, several directors who have won international awards. As for Director Xu, in his impression, I am afraid that there is only Xu Ke in Hong Kong.
"Wow, that must be Xu Ligong!" Fan Ziyi said with a look of surprise.
"Is it famous?"
"Of course he is very famous, and he is definitely the godfather of the Taiwanese film industry. Li Yu, do you know? ”
"Yes."
"Cai Mingliang, do you know?"
"Yes."
"Then do you know that they are all carried by Xu Ligong and Director Xu?" Fan Ziyi said excitedly.
Although she hasn't been to Taiwan twice, she used to sign a contract with Aunt Qiong Yao's brokerage company before, and she usually has close contacts, and she can be regarded as half of the island's entertainment industry. If Ang Lee and Tsai Mingliang are compared to the two masters of Zhang and Chen in the mainland, then Xu Ligong is definitely Taiwan's Xie Jin.
"Uh, I don't know."
At this time, Wang Dalun finally understood who this Director Xu was, and the director who could promote Li Yu and Cai Mingliang was not a famous director! No wonder Sister Ding insisted that he meet with them tomorrow.
Fan Ziyi glanced at him, and after being excited, he said a little strangely: "Why did Director Xu ask you to make a movie?" ”
"Maybe it was recommended by Director Zeng?" Wang Dalun has a good relationship with Zeng Nianping, and it can only be this reason if you think about it.
Fan Ziyi nodded, and couldn't help grabbing her boyfriend's hand and said, "Then you must seize the opportunity this time!" ”
Wang Dalun smiled bitterly: "It's not a matter of whether you can seize the opportunity or not, I'm afraid that there will be a conflict with Lao Jia's play." ”
"Lao Jia has been banned, his play will definitely not be released, you can think about it carefully. Besides, he's been talking about it for two years, when will it be started? Fan Ziyi said solemnly.
"It's only been a little over a year, not two years. But Lao Jia has already said this, and he also said that he will start the film this autumn no matter what. ”
"He said last year that it would be turned on in winter, but it's not yellow yet."
"The situation at that time was different from now, and at that time he still wanted to be able to pass the guò review and be able to release it normally. I haven't reviewed it at all. Wang Dalun argued.
"Hmph, it's an underground movie again. You said that you have made several movies, and if you can release it, it will be "Love Malatang", you can think about it yourself, don't pick up the sesame seeds and lose the watermelon at that time. ”
"Okay, I'll make a phone call to Lao Jia in the evening, if he is free, I'll meet with him first and ask about the situation." In fact, Wang Dalun was quite conflicted in his heart, he was a little regretful when he received Sister Ding's call, and he also knew the stakes that his girlfriend told him, if there was really a conflict between the two in terms of schedule, I am afraid he would still choose Lao Jia.
"Okay, let's choose the sofa first, I've been shopping here for several days, and you still want to make headlines every day!"
In other words, if you open the newspaper in the past two days, there must be news about the two of them on the entertainment page, accompanied by photos taken secretly by the two of them visiting the furniture city, and there are rumors that they are getting married. They don't want to think about how old Fan Ziyi is? But they don't care, just the title bluffs, with the scandal of their relationship exposed by the media in Hunan Province not long ago, what "the good thing of the army and the golden lock is coming", "visit the furniture city together, the golden lock builds the nest of love together" and so on. There are even some unscrupulous media, I don't know where to find a photo of Fan Ziyi wearing loose clothes, revealing what Fengzi is married, and Jin Suo is suspected of being pregnant, which is even more shocking.
The shopping guide actually recognized them a long time ago, her eyes were full of little stars, although she didn't pester them to sign it, but it confirmed that the report in the newspaper was true, otherwise what would you buy furniture for? Very enthusiastic to recommend all kinds of sofas to them.
"I think this is good!" Fan Ziyi pointed to a set of beige, the armrests next to it were extremely wide, and there was even a large sofa with a piece of mahogany veneer, similar to a small coffee table.
This kind of wide and large sofa seems to be popular these days. But Wang Dalun doesn't like it, he prefers the kind of American sofa that is slightly narrower, smaller, and has a high back.
So looking at the sofa that his girlfriend chose, he frowned and shook his head: "It's not good, it's similar to the sofa in the hotel lobby." ”
"What about this one?" Fan Ziyi pointed to another set of European styles that she had taken a fancy to before.
Wang Dalun saw that this set was bigger than the one just now, and the living room of an apartment of about 30 square meters like theirs was not suitable at all. He didn't bother to pay attention to her, and directly pointed to a set of dark brown American high-backed sofas placed in the back, and said, "I think that set is good." ”
"Where?" Fan Ziyi looked around, the sofa she just picked out was the kind of sofa that looked like a tyrant outside, was very in line with the characteristics of the times, and she didn't pay attention to it at all.
The shopping guide cast an admiring look at him, and secretly said in her heart that celebrities are different, and their vision is really superior. Busy introduced: "This is an American sofa that we specially made from the manufacturer, using the first layer of cowhide, although it is not imported, but the quality is by no means worse than the imported one." ”
Fan Ziyi looked in the direction of her boyfriend's finger and found that the style of this sofa was really novel, walked over and looked around carefully, sat on it and played it again, it felt okay in all aspects, the only fly in the ointment was that it was not as fancy as the two sets she chose before. However, since her boyfriend liked it, she nodded and said, "It's okay." ”
Wang Dalun also sat on it and tried it, he mainly liked the two single sofa chairs, high back, four feet, sitting in it with a glass of red wine or smoking a cigar, feeling unique. He tapped on the two couch legs and asked, "What kind of material is this skeleton made of?" ”
"It's oak. Mr. Wang, don't worry, you can see that the mountain pattern on this oak is very clear, and the oak wood is hard, stable, strong and durable. Our boss came back from the USA and liked this American sofa the most. The shopping guide enthusiastically sold.
"How much?" Fan Ziyi saw that her boyfriend really liked it, so think about it, and asked.
The shopping guide took out a small notebook from her pocket, flipped through two pages, and quoted: "Fourteen thousand eight." ”
Wang Dalun was taken aback and hurriedly said, "Why is it so expensive?" I haven't seen you clearly mark the price, so it shouldn't be a deliberate killing! ”
Strange to say, other sofas have prices, but a few of them are not priced. However, the price of furniture in the furniture city is bluffing, and there are tens of thousands of dollars at every turn, in fact, at least a seven or eight discount, and some can even be discounted. Yesterday they bought a bed with a price tag of 4,000, and the final price was only 2,500, plus two bedside tables.
The shopping guide hurriedly waved her hand and said, "We don't kill people, what I just quoted is the real price." Believe it or not, you see. Saying that, the shopping guide really handed the small book to the two of them.
In fact, shopping guides like them have a certain discount power, and the price range of many sofas is recorded in the small book, such as the huge European-style sofa that Fan Ziyi fancied just now, with a price tag of 12,000, and the price range recorded in the small book is only 7,000 to 9,000. That is, the shopping guide can offer 9,000, and the counteroffer can be cheaper, but the power is up to 7,000. But this American-style sofa that Wang Dalun fancies, there is only one price on it, which is 14,000, and there is no room for negotiation.
"It can't be cheaper?" Wang Dalun couldn't help but hesitate, he really liked this sofa, which was the only piece of furniture he took the initiative to choose, but the price was too high, and it had far exceeded the budget. If it was seven or eight thousand, he might not blink his eyes and buy it directly, but more than double the price is really expensive.
"It can't be cheap." The shopping guide shook her head, looking embarrassed.
"Either ......" Fan Ziyi wanted to say that he would buy it, since he liked it, he would exceed the budget if he exceeded the budget, and now they are really not short of these thousands of dollars.
"Forget it, let's go, don't sell it." Wang Dalun grabbed her, nodded apologetically to the shopping guide, and was about to pull his girlfriend and prepare to leave.
"Mr. Wang, please wait a minute."
Sure enough, the shopping guide stopped him, he was immediately overjoyed, and turned around and listened to the shopping guide: "Mr. Wang, please wait a moment, I'll go and ask our boss to see if it can be cheaper." ”
