"Don't be blind, when you're full, look for your old man's happiness? I've been asking for a wife for a long time, and I'll wait until now! ”

Lao Li was a little embarrassed by what his son said, and when the chopsticks knocked on the bowl, he pretended to reprimand: "You should think about your own problems and ask for a wife as soon as possible, so that I can end a matter of my heart as soon as possible." ”

Saying that, he paused, and said with a serious expression: "By the way, I just have something to tell you." ”

"What's the matter?"

"Your house in Shanghai is too small and too old, and I'm going to help you get a new house that's a little bigger." Lao Li said.

When Li Tang heard this, he was a little stunned, and said with an unbelievable face: "Dad, the old apartment on Wuyuan Road, two bedrooms and one living room, eighty-two square meters, is not a construction area, but a practical area!" The city center, the listed buildings, the wax steel windows, the upper corner of the upper corner! Don't you think so? ”

This house is the ancestral property of Ms. Tang, who knows that she is ashamed of her son and regards the house as compensation.

Li Tang is very satisfied with this house, to be honest, if in New York, such an apartment located in a wealthy area in the center of the city will cost millions of dollars.

More than eighty square meters of usable area, which is already very good. You must know that He Zhengjun, the pillar and backbone actor of the drama center, is still crammed into a dormitory of only nine square meters with his wife and children.

Of course, this is also an important indicator that Li Tang was able to quickly capture the heart of his ex-girlfriend.

Lao Li frowned and waved his hand to stop: "I think it's still too small, now there is a real estate, Xujiahui Garden, which is newly opened." I went to see it two days ago, and it's almost about to be capped, and it's on Wanping South Road, not far from your unit. The four-bedroom and two-living room room type, more than 170 square meters, is twice as large as your current house, a square is a little more than 7,000, and the one-time payment can be a little cheaper, and it is estimated that it is about 1.2 million yuan, just for you to get married in the future. ”

Saying that, Lao Li couldn't help but be annoyed: "Actually, the house should have been bought earlier, maybe Binbin wouldn't have gone to the capital." ”

Li Tang has no concept of housing, and in his previous life, he rented a house in Los Angeles or New York.

It's not that he can't afford to buy a house, it's really not worth it.

Don't say anything about freehold property in the United States, you must know that there is also a concept of property tax in the United States.

For example, if you buy a ten-dollar apartment in New York, you will have to pay $10,000 a year in property tax at a 1% tax rate. Add in property management fees and home insurance, and it can cost more than $20,000 a year. And that money was enough for him to rent a master bedroom in a nice apartment on the Upper East Side.

After crossing over, he found that he actually owned such an apartment, and he didn't have to pay property tax, the insurance was negligible, and the property management fee did not exceed fifty yuan a month, which made him very satisfied.

He originally wanted to refuse Lao Li's proposal, and he was embarrassed to gnaw at Lao Lao. But as soon as the words came to my lips, I suddenly realized that this was in China, not in the United States.

And he clearly remembers that around 04 years, his parents in his previous life once bought a villa in the capital, and planned to return to China after retirement in the future. At that time, the exchange rate of the US dollar was high, and the total price of more than 7 million was equivalent to less than 1 million US dollars.

As a result, the person has not yet retired, but the house price has risen all the way in more than ten years, and it is later said that the value of the villa has already exceeded 100 million, and it has risen more than ten times.

Since housing prices in Beijing are soaring so wildly, there is no reason why houses in Shanghai should not rise!

He suddenly realized that this was an excellent way to invest, and hurriedly changed his words: "It sounds like this house is very good, and it is a good deal to buy it." ”

said with some hesitation: "What about the apartment on Wuyuan Road, sold?" ”

If it is really sold, he will be subsidized to buy a new house, and he is really a little reluctant.

Lao Li snorted and said domineeringly: "That house was given to you by your mother, I don't care." The new house was given to you by your old man for your marriage, and one person gave you a suite, fair? ”

"It's not fair!"

Li Tang shouted, then cocked his thumb and said with a flattering face: "Dad, you're still awesome!" ”

"Nong smashes Xiaoju, come, have a drink!"

After a sip of wine, Lao Li was relieved.

After a rare two days of rest at home, Li Tang was going back to the city on Sunday afternoon.

What Xu Guangtou told him before, he specially asked a few classmates from the film studio to inquire around, and the news he got was very exciting, it is said that Director Peng Xiaolian's selection of actors this time is eclectic, and it is not limited to his own one-third of an acre, and he wants to recruit talents from all over the world.

It's just that the time is very tight, and the audition is scheduled for tomorrow Monday.

"The mutton here, this is Mrs. Lou's favorite sausage, and there are two grass chickens......"

Before leaving, Lao Li carefully prepared a variety of food to stuff the trunk of the motorcycle and the luggage compartment on both sides. Every Spring Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, and Mid-Autumn Festival, Li Tang has to go through it like this.

Uncle Lou and Mrs. Lou were old friends who met Lao Li when he was sent to Jiangxi Farm to receive re-education for poor middle peasants.

Uncle Lou was the deputy head of Qingyi, one of the predecessors of the Drama Center, and Mrs. Lou was the teacher of the drama.

is the so-called adversity to see the truth, and it is precisely because of this relationship that Li Tang was able to be successfully admitted to the drama and then to the drama center.

On Sunday, the roads in the urban area were relatively smooth, Li Tang drove a motorcycle into the community where Lou's house was located, and when he was about to reach the door of the unit, he saw a dirty Santana just stop, and a small man wearing a black down jacket and carrying a camera bag got out of the car.

Li Tang's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly shouted, "Brother Ye! ”

The little man stopped and turned around, his face confused.

Li Tang hurriedly turned the accelerator, drove to a stop in front of him, and took off his tightly covered helmet.

"Brother Ye, it's me!"

After the little man saw it clearly, he smiled: "Li Tang, long time no see." ”

"It's been two years, and the last time we met was during the Spring Festival the year before."

The man in front of him is Lou Ye, the son of Uncle Lou and Master Lou's mother, a director and a legend in Li Tang's mind.

When Li Tang and his father came to Uncle Lou and Mrs. Lou's house for the first time, they learned that many of the animations in their favorite cartoons "Book from Heaven" and "Golden Monkey Demon Descending" were painted by the taciturn big brother in front of him, and the shock and admiration were overflowing on Li Tang's young face.

Brother Ye is very good at drawing, but unfortunately he didn't become an art student at the Central Academy of Fine Arts, but he was admitted to the Nortel Department of Directing. After graduation, Brother Ye was assigned to Shanghai TV, which everyone envied, but he didn't report at all, but followed the crew as an assistant director to make a movie.

Then, as an independent director, he shot commercials, documentaries and other things, and made a huge name in the circle.

What's even more awesome is that Brother Ye directed and made a film independently for the first time five years ago, and won the Best Director Award at a foreign film festival. Immediately after that, the second film was shortlisted for the Golden Rooster Award that year.

Now he is a representative figure of the so-called sixth generation of directors in China.

Lou Ye nodded with a polite smile, his lips moved but he didn't speak.

Li Tang was not surprised, he knew that Brother Ye was stupid and didn't like to talk, and the only thing he didn't understand in his heart was how a silent director like him made a movie on the scene?

"Brother Ye, just help with the handle."

Li Tang parked the car, opened the trunk, and took out a large bulging bag from it.

"Be careful, it's a little heavy."

Lou Ye took it with one hand, it was very heavy, and he almost fell to the ground without paying attention. There was a look of surprise on his face, but he didn't say anything.

Li Tang helped out, opened the two suitcases on the side and took out a few bags, and said to himself: "This is mutton, this is the sausage that Master Lou's mother likes to eat, as well as two chickens and some local pork, if I hadn't touched you, I'm afraid I would have to run twice......"

The two of them carried their things upstairs and snorted.

"Uncle Lou, Mrs. Lou, I'm here!"

gave a New Year's gift and had dinner at Lou's house, Li Tang didn't stay long before leaving, because in the face of the silent Brother Ye, the atmosphere was always very embarrassing.

From beginning to end, the conversation between the two did not exceed ten sentences, but I only knew that Brother Ye had been back for a week, and he took an eight-millimeter camera to shoot on the other side of Suzhou Creek when he had nothing to do.

As for what to film, Brother Ye didn't say, Li Tang thought that it might be a documentary that reflected environmental pollution, otherwise he really couldn't think of anything to shoot about the black and smelly Suzhou Creek.
