Chapter 85, Beverly Hills

Hearing Li Mingyu's detailed introduction to the San Fernando Valley, Lei Weidong saw all kinds of beauties walking on the street, and only felt that it was a pity for these beautiful girls, people only saw the scenery of movie stars, but they didn't see the hardships of actors living at the bottom.

But this is the status quo of the entertainment industry, whether it is Hollywood or Hong Kong. Lei Weidong can't solve it even if he has great ability, and now Lei Weidong still thinks about his own problems.

Before Hollywood, Lei Weidong's idea was very simple, that is, to register a few scripts with the screenwriters union, get the copyright in his hands, and set up a film company in Hong Kong to shoot them in a few years when he had spare money.

But I went to Hollywood and got a look at how American movies work. Lei Weidong changed his mind and prepared to set up a film company in Hollywood.

Because in the chat with Li Mingyu, Lei Weidong learned that in the United States, distribution companies and theaters are very discriminatory against films published by foreign film companies, and no matter how good a movie is, the box office share of the movie is very small, and 20% can be more.

And films published by local film companies in the United States, even if they are produced by independent filmmakers, get 35% of the box office share.

Many of the movies that Lei Weidong wants to shoot are classics in history, and the box office is hundreds of millions of dollars. Even 10% of the box office share is a huge loss of wealth.

And it's very simple to set up a film company in the United States, you only need to have an office location, and you can hire another person, which is similar to opening a leather bag company. In this case, it is better to set up a film company in Hollywood. And it can also fulfill the wishes of his previous life.

Although Lei Weidong will not come to Hollywood too much in the next few years, Lei Weidong still does not want to rent an office space, and feels that he should buy his own property in Hollywood in one step. After all, in his previous life, Lei Weidong always fantasized about owning his own property in Hollywood, but unfortunately in his previous life, Lei Weidong never even went abroad, let alone went to Hollywood.

Speaking of Hollywood real estate, Lei Weidong heard Beverly Hills the most in his previous life. It is said to be the favorite place for Hollywood movie stars, and you can meet Hollywood superstars even if you go to a restaurant to eat. For this reason, Lei Weidong also checked the information of Beverly Hills on the Internet.

Beverly Hills, a dream destination for the world's richest and richest of the world, is located west of Los Angeles, on the crisp Pacific coast and at the foot of Beverly Hills.

Despite its name, Beverly Hills is a city with an elected mayor, police and fire departments, and it's home to Hollywood stars and the rich Los Angeles.

Titled "the world's most exclusive residential area", it is the most famous city within a city in Los Angeles, attracting countless tourists from all over the world every year to explore the streets and alleys. Among them, Rodel Street, which is surrounded by the world's famous brand boutiques, is even more famous.

In his previous life, Lei Weidong couldn't have imagined Beverly Hills, but now he can buy a villa in this Li and live in the same place with those Hollywood stars.

Think about when you are basking in the sun on the rooftop, and you see the hostess of the neighbor swimming in the pool, or sunbathing, and that beautiful girl in a revealing bikini or even topless, it may be a Hollywood superstar, or even an Oscar-winning actress, and the actress will not get angry after seeing you peeping again, but will wave hello to you.

Lei Weidong really hopes that this day will come as soon as possible, of course, it is best to discuss the true meaning of life with the actresses and work together for the increase of human population.

But Lei spent the whole day wandering around Beverly Hills, wandering the streets and alleys, and even walking around Rodell Street, which is surrounded by the world's most famous boutiques. Lei Weidong still gave up the idea of buying a home in Beverly Hills.

Although it is still the 70s, Beverly Hills houses have not yet been speculated, but they are still much more expensive than some other places. Although Lei Weidong is not short of money now, after all, Lei Weidong's career has just started, and there are many places where he needs to use money.

And even if there are spare funds in Lei Weidong's hands, Lei Weidong can multiply the money several times in a few years. Compared to Beverly Hills, the house will definitely not multiply in a few years.

In the previous life, the price of Beverly Hills soared when the salary of Hollywood stars rose sharply in the 80s, and now it is only 1977, and it is estimated that it will not be expensive to buy it in a few years.

There are a lot of bad places in the United States, but the housing prices are much better than in Hong Kong, even if this is Hollywood. As long as you're not buying a luxury home in those places in Beverly Hills. The prices are all cheap.

It's like a villa that can live in a lot of people, and with the car you need, you can't use half a million dollars, and you can solve all the problems.

500,000 US dollars, at the current exchange rate, converted into Hong Kong dollars is more than 2 million. It can be said that it only costs more than 2 million Hong Kong dollars, and everything is done, which is obviously a very cost-effective deal.

Don't look at 2 million Hong Kong dollars, it seems like a lot of money, in Hong Kong is just to get a company, buy a villa, and buy some cars, it doesn't seem to cost so much at all, but buying in Hong Kong and buying the same thing in the United States, the value is not the same.

Spending 2 million Hong Kong dollars to buy a villa, in the United States, you are equivalent to buying a large manor, not to mention only ten people, even if it is 50 people, it will not be too crowded, and this 2 million Hong Kong dollars villa, not only a villa, but also a large lawn outside the villa, will be your private territory.

In Hong Kong, even if you spend 10 million Hong Kong dollars, you can't achieve the same effect. After all, Hong Kong's housing prices are notoriously high. Even if Hong Kong's housing prices are still recovering and have not peaked, it is not comparable to the United States, a vast and sparsely populated place.

Li Mingyu deserves to have been a tour guide in Hollywood for several years, and is very familiar with the vicinity of Hollywood, and after learning about Lei Weidong's requirements for a house, he quickly helped Lei Weidong find a manor. It is a house in the suburbs of Hollywood, not far from Hollywood, twenty minutes by car, the roads in the United States are really convenient, there are repaired roads everywhere, and the cars are not as crowded as Hong Kong, which is worthy of being a country that lives on wheels

Four people were in a taxi for about twenty minutes. Came to the villa on the outskirts. At first glance, it is a high wall made of red bricks. The large black iron gate was so heavily fenced that it was impossible to see what was going on inside from the outside.
