Chapter 478 The old driver only knew
Time passed quickly, and before I knew it, it was the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, when there were only 3 days left before the opening of the "Yingshi Cup".
At noon, somewhere in the northeast corner of the North Fourth Ring Road of Beijing, Li Xiangping was looking at the surrounding environment.
Well, this place actually still belongs to the Chaoyang District of the capital, and the full name is the Wangjing Community of Chaoyang District----- which was later occupied by the sticks.
And the place where Li Xiangping is standing now was a pepper field earlier. Probably in the early 90s of the last century, the urban development group in Beijing built the first batch of residential quarters in this pepper field, taking the homonym of the pepper field, so it was named "Huajiadi Community".
In the next few years, the government continued to invest in development, and now Huajiadi has been divided into several small districts, namely "Huajiadi Xili", "Huajiadi Beili" and "Huajiadi Nanli", which is a large residential area in Wangjing.
Three years ago, the Central Academy of Fine Arts also moved to this place, which led to a large number of artists gathering nearby, in short, regular painters, wandering painters, pheasant painters, and all kinds of people.
In this way, "Huajiadi" was slowly nicknamed "painter's land" by everyone, and its real original name was "Huajiaodi", but now it has been forgotten.
After waiting for a while, Li Xiangping saw Zhao Daokai walking out of the Academy of Fine Arts dejectedly, and he greeted him with a smile:
"Daokai, have you contacted the model?"
Zhao Daokai replied listlessly: "No, it's so easy." ”
Li Xiangping smiled, this was actually what he expected, Zhao Daokai insisted on learning painting for so many years, but before that, he mainly trained in still life, and now since he is determined to be a great painter, he wants to carry out more advanced dynamic training, and it is logical to have this idea.
It's a pity that although the idea is beautiful, the reality is cruel. Due to the influence of the inherent concepts of the Chinese people, the group of really professional mannequins is already scarce in China, so like Zhao Daokai, although he is now a little famous, and his painting talent has also attracted the attention of some bigwigs in the painting world in a small area, but as long as others look at his age, those professional models are basically impossible to deal with him.
Seeing that Zhao Daokai still looked sullen, Li Xiangping smiled and said: "Hehe, don't be like this, let's do it, since you are cornered, let my brother and I show you two clear paths." ”
"Tell me about it."
"First," Li Xiangping put up a finger: "I just took a look, there are a lot of wild models around here, since the special professional is not good, then look for wild models, it's a big deal to spend some money." ”
After Zhao Daokai thought about it for a while, he shook his head very dryly: "This road is not passable, the second one." ”
Li Xiangping said strangely: "Why can't it be done?" ”
Zhao Daokai said: "What I learned is not ordinary oil painting, but hyper-realism, and it takes at least half a year to complete a successful work...... No, no, absolutely not. ”
Zhao Daokai shook his head like a rattle, but as for how it didn't work, he didn't say specifically.
"Why not, is it because it is very expensive to hire people?"
"The cost is one thing, but the more important thing is the problem of cooperation, okay, don't say more, now talk about your second way."
"Since the first path can't work, then you can only sacrifice your hue."
"Sacrificial hue?"
"Yes, yes?" Li Xiangping said with a smile: "From now on, you can go outside to surf, in case you can hook up with a model who comes back and is willing to be you, then nothing will be solved." ”
"This, this ......."
Seeing Zhao Daokai's appearance, Li Xiangping decided to add fire: "Hehe, what's the matter, you're still ready to mix in the art world, you haven't noticed a phenomenon in your art world: Before many big guys became famous, didn't they all find their wives or lovers to be models, why is this?" That's not because he couldn't afford it before he became famous, so he had to come up with this strategy, Dao Kai, think about it, then you can't copy the road to fame of your predecessors? ”
Li Xiangping has talked about this, and Zhao Daokai is really moved:
"It's like..... I think that's the reason......"
"Haha, can what I said make no sense,"
Li Xiangping laughed and said: "So Daokai, let's not stay in this place now, the next focus, I think it is necessary to choose a good place, see where you go to the most suitable place, where to soak the most suitable girl." ”
"That'..... So what do you think is the right place? ”
"Haha, where else," Li Xiangping said as a matter of course:
"Of course, the three famous academies in the capital are the most suitable, you can't go to heaven and earth to find it, right? Although if you go to heaven and earth to look for it, you may also find the people of the three famous courtyards. ”
The so-called "Three Famous Courtyards in Beijing" is a saying that circulates in this era: the first place is called Yihong Courtyard, which is Chinese opera, and the second place is called Piaoxiang Courtyard, which is Beiying.
Well, the above two art academies are famous, so it is not unusual to know these two, and only those who know the third one are real old drivers.
The third is the University of Foreign Trade in Beijing, which is called "Lichun Academy" in these years.
"These three gardens are not good, not good......"
Li Xiangping glared at him and said, "Why is this not good?" Could you have found a more suitable place to go...... By the way, Daokai, you don't really want to go to heaven and earth to find it, do you? ”
"Fuck off, you think about heaven and earth every day," Zhao Daokai glared back and said:
"You don't understand people like you, the so-called beauty is in the bones, not in the skin, do you know? Therefore, if you really want to find a model, the three major institutes may not be suitable. ”
"And what do you think is the best place?"
"Why don't we go to the dance academy first?"
Hearing Zhao Daokai report this name, Li Xiangping suddenly stopped talking, he said in his heart Don't look at yourself as a traverser, but in this regard, Zhao Daokai is an old driver, a real old driver at the level of a professional hooligan.
"Hehe, okay, the dance academy is the dance academy, now you have the final say."
The Beijing Dance Academy is in Haidian District, a little far away, Zhao Daokai drove the Po Santa and drove Li Xiangping to the target point. When he was in the car, Li Xiangping chatted with Zhao Daokai while trying to recall what stars had been produced by the dance academy.
It's just a pity that although Li Xiangping is a gentleman who has traveled back, he didn't have much interest in film and television in his previous life, so no matter how hard he tried to recall, he could never capture more useful information.
"Xiangping, I heard that all your bonuses were confiscated by Uncle Li?"
"Huh? Hehe, that's not called confiscation, that's my investment in shares, understand? I'm already a shareholder now......"
Hearing Zhao Daokai mention this stubble, Li Xiangping immediately laughed. He remembered that a few days ago in his study, he had been trying to make up his mind with the old man, and at the same time he saw that the whole development plan was still flawed, which made him feel enlightened.
At that time, he pointed out to his old man that since it was going to be developed into a high-end real estate, the surrounding environment, especially the greening work, was very important, and the greening plan in the original development plan was obviously not good.
It is precisely because of this that Li Xiangping proposed to Li Da Tuhao at that time: he hoped that his old man would "contract" the greening project of the entire "Galaxy Bay" to him, and he would complete the environmental transformation and greening upgrading of the entire project.
Obviously, when he first put forward this idea, he was despised by Li Da Tuhao at that time, and the reason for the contempt is very simple, Li Da Tuhao thinks that Li Xiangping's strength is not enough, and his current net worth is not even 10 million, so such a little money is of no use to the entire 10 billion-level project, and he may not even hear a sound when thrown in.
Then Li Xiangping diligently pressed step by step, and Li Da Tuhao fought and retreated, and finally compromised.
So when Li Datuhao finally signed the alliance under the city, this of course means that he has made up his mind that he will definitely promote this project, which is the first thing that makes Li Xiangping happy.
And what makes Li Xiangping even happier is:
"Hehe Daokai, you know, the gambling agreement, I also signed a gambling agreement with the old man, so you hurry up and stammer me, because as long as it takes another two years, then I will also be a wealthy tyrant with a net worth of hundreds of millions, so if you want to tie the knot, hurry up as soon as possible, otherwise it may be too late."
Obviously, Zhao Daokai didn't know what Li Xiangping was talking about, so he scoffed at this:
"Hehe, your brain isn't burned out, is it? I don't know what you're talking about......."
Of course, Li Xiangping doesn't care about this, a high school student who has not yet fully reached adulthood, so how much can you expect him to know?
The "VAM agreement" in Li Xiangping's mouth is like this: In the entire "Galaxy Bay" project, Li Xiangping contributed 10 million yuan in his own name, and his 10 million yuan was earmarked for the greening of the entire project.
As for the benefits, Li Xiangping dug a pit for the old man, and he made an agreement with Li Da Tuhao: with 10 billion as the boundary, if the final sales are less than 10 billion, then Li Xiangping will not take a penny, and he will give 10 million to his old man.
If the sales volume is more than 10 billion, then Li Xiangping will ask for participation in the division, and the extra part Li Xiangping will ask for 37 to 46 accounts.
Li Xiangping still remembers that when he said this idea that day, let alone Li Da Tuhao, even Zhao Jiadong was moved, and both of them may have said in their hearts, how can this child be so sensible, how can he be so filial?
Of course, only Li Xiangping knows in his heart: "..... Hehe, in real history, that Galaxy Bay finally reached more than 11.5 billion sales, so according to the four or six points they took the initiative, how much can I get? More than 600 million is close to 700 million, right? 10 million can be exchanged for so much, this transaction is ......"
Li Xiangping continued to have his sweet dream, but unfortunately the sweet dream was soon interrupted by Zhao Daokai:
"Hey, the saliva is about to flow out, get out of the car, we're on the ground."
