Chapter 42: It's Good to Have You
Xiangjiang in the 80s, whether it was a singer or a movie star.
In the rising period and the popular period, there are few marriages.
You can fall in love, you can also have messy scandals, but you must not get married.
Otherwise, you will lose a large number of loyal fans.
That means making a lot less money.
In this case, if it is registered in Xiangjiang, Zou Huimin will undoubtedly break the star road.
can only be an ordinary singer, but not a superstar.
Li Xingchen knew that Zou Huimin loved him very much, but he also knew her pursuit in her career, he was not so selfish and made her give up her career for herself.
This will only make her a little woman in her own villa, and she may not be long before she loses her most beautiful demeanor and withers.
will not become the fifty-year-old Zou Huimin in the future.
A confident girl will reveal beauty from the inside out.
He didn't allow her to be a withered rose.
"Wife, when we're done with this time, let's go to Citi to register, and travel to get married by the way."
Li Xingchen whispered in her ear, "Marriage or not, you are the only one in my life." ”
Sweet words are the best weapon for women.
His delaying tactics worked.
Zou Huimin pouted: "But ......"
"Your husband's ability to make money is very strong, do you know the movie "The True Color of Heroes", how much Yanhuang movie has earned so far?"
Li Xingchen said with a smile, "The box office of Xiangjiang and Guodao, plus the distribution profit in Southeast Asia, we have earned a net profit of 15 million in less than a month after its release!" ”
"So much?"
"Of course, this is still excluding all costs, including various channel fees, taxes, etc., the accounting firm I hired predicts that after the two-month screening cycle, the net profit that "The True Color of Heroes" can earn around the world, including Xiangjiang, Guodao, Southeast Asia, North America and other places, will reach between 30 million and 35 million."
The slender arms around his waist tightened slightly, and Zou Huimin raised her pretty face: "Husband, I know you deliberately said this for my career, I'm sorry ......"
"Between us, there is no need to say sorry," Li Xingchen smiled, took her hand, and went to the backyard, "Miss Zou Huimin, can I ask you to dance?" ”
The back garden of the villa is beautiful, with a pale blue outdoor swimming pool less than two hundred meters from the sea.
You can see the Repulse Bay beach and children's playground not far away.
The villa has a saleable area of 6,452 sf, including a 905 sf front garden and a 1,856 sf back garden, with a three-car garage underground.
The transaction price was HK$48.4 million, almost US$6.2 million, or HK$7,500 per square foot.
But in the future information that Li Xingchen knows.
As for the villa he bought, in September 2022, it was sold at a sky-high price of 640 million Hong Kong dollars, an increase of more than 13 times!
Not only does the villa have a private pool, but also a gym, a small cinema hall, a piano classroom, and much more.
Although there was no music, Zou Huimin still rested her head lightly on his shoulder.
"It's good to have you......"
She whispered.
Li Xingchen hugged her tightly, and the two of them slowly shook under the blowing of the sea breeze.
The back garden of this villa is located at the very edge of a row of villas, facing the sea and the beach alone, and it is more than ten meters higher than the beach, which is very private.
In addition, the tall trees outside the courtyard wall are shading.
From other villas, or from the road or beach outside, you can't see everything in the back garden.
In dim light.
The bodies of the two are getting closer and closer.
One by one, the clothes left the bodies of the two.
Then the lights went out.
There was a thud in the pool.
"You wretched!"
It was Zou Huimin's muffled voice.
"Ah, my old waist!"
It was Li Xingchen who gasped, after all, he was not beaten with iron, and the iron rod could be sharpened into an embroidery needle.
(2,000 words)
......
The next few days.
Li Xingchen was busy with things on the set.
Even such a major event as moving to the villa, he gave carte blanche to Zou's mother.
As Roscht was talking at Citi about the acquisition of Pixar.
Luo Fatzi's home was also moved to the guest room of the villa by Zou's mother.
Zou's mother hired a distant relative as a resident maid.
and took care of the housework in the villa in an orderly manner, no matter how late Li Xingchen and Zou Huimin finished work, they would have soup to drink when they went home.
Although the two are not married, Zou's mother is not an old feudal and did not prevent them from living together.
A son-in-law of a big director who gave away more than 6 million US dollars, is dedicated to his daughter, and supports his daughter's career, is handsome, and talented.
Zou Mu felt that whenever she was a little dissatisfied, she was sorry for her conscience!
She only hopes that the young couple can get married and have children as soon as possible, so that she can hold her grandson.
However, she also knows that her eighteen-year-old daughter, who is busy with her career, will not be in a hurry to get married.
And Li Xingchen will not force his daughter to get married.
This state of affairs is likely to continue for a long time.
Alas.
If you have a gain, you will lose something.
Every time Zou Mu thought of this, infinite melancholy would wells up in her heart.
Li Xingchen and Zou Huimin don't feel this way.
One of the two was busy releasing an album to promote the show, and the other was busy filming "A Chinese Ghost Story", so they didn't have time to think about getting married in the future.
However, after moving into the villa, the two had the opportunity to see each other every day.
At least before going to bed, be able to talk for a while.
But both of them were very tired from work, and often fell asleep while talking.
I really lived together, but I didn't have time to fight in the pool.
Zou Huimin rented out the old house in Sai Ying Pun, Li Xingchen's original apartment, and the newly bought small house.
"Husband, I want to open a company and specialize in managing all the properties under our name in the future."
One night before going to bed, she said to Li Xingchen.
"Okay, then let's call it Lianjia, which means that we are all chained, and we are responsible for the rental and sale of houses."
Li Xingchen thought of a well-known real estate agency in the future information and said casually.
"That's a good name, then I'll find some professional managers to be responsible for day-to-day management."
When it comes to making money, Zou Huimin's interest suddenly came up.
"That should be distinguished from the real estate agents on the market," Li Xingchen yawned according to the future information, "The rental and sale of your own house, no commission, by the way, apply for a financial license, provide loans, mortgages and other financial services, rely on this to make money, the service is better than the bank, the interest rate is lower than the bank." ”
"In the future, Yanhuang may have to buy some movie theaters and hand them over to Lianjia to be responsible for venue management."
After saying that, he fell asleep in seconds.
"Applying for a financial license, providing financial services? Buying a movie theater? Then I'll have to do some research! Zou Huimin sat up excitedly, "I plan to invest all the dividends of the Chinese album, and if I want to do it, I will build a bigger company." ”
Only then did she find that Li Xingchen had fallen asleep.
Gently touched his face.
"Good night, husband."
Thinking that she was about to start a business, a happy smile appeared on the face of the future queen of the music world.
......
Early the next morning.
Li Xingchen forgot about instigating Zou Huimin to open the chain house last night.
Because of the recent filming of "A Chinese Ghost Story", it has come to an end.
“CUT!”
"Zu'er, what are you doing, your eyes should be concentrated, your posture should be beautiful, don't care about the gravitational pull of the earth, hanging Weiya, you are tired, and the colleagues who pull the rope are even more tired!"
"Leslie, how many times have I said that no matter how angry you are, you must remain elegant, and you must show a bit of cowardice in order to make the audience identify with your scholarly identity!"
After shouting to stop, Li Xingchen was a little angry, he walked in front of the two protagonists and said loudly.
His words were a bit heavy.
After all, the number of NGs is increasing, and this situation should not occur at the end of the day.
"Simon, I'm sorry, I didn't bring my Zu'er."
Zhang Guorong took all the responsibility on his head.
"I'm sorry, Li Sheng!"
Wang Zuxian's face was a little unsightly, but she lowered her head and didn't say anything.
Li Xingchen sighed.
After calming down for a while, he carefully observed Wang Zuxian's state, and reached out to call Uncle Cheng, the prop master, and Sister Fang, the makeup artist, over.
"Sister Fang, redress her, you must highlight the paleness of her face, Nie Xiaoqian is a ghost, not a human, but this paleness, you should add a little more anger to it, so that she looks like a ghost and a fairy, the color is wrong, re-transform!"
"Uncle Cheng, rearrange the stones over there to make them look more disorganized, and in addition, Weiya's belt, change it to a thicker one, don't strangle Zu'er's waist."
After Wang Zuxian and Sister Fang left, Zhang Guorong said softly: "Simon, there are some things that can't be rushed in a hurry, one can't work, we can keep a few more." ”
"Zu'er, Tony and I will teach her again."
