China Entertainment: Director’s happiness is so simple

In the bank, Lu Pingan and Uncle Liao sat down to drink tea.

The copyright funds, including the HP advertising funds, have all been received, totaling just over 4.6 million. The 4.12 million is the after-tax copyright profit, and the 480,000 is the after-tax profit from the 100,000 European dress advertising fee.

Got money!

Lu Pingping looked happy.

Uncle Liao was also very happy.

He knew that Lao Lu, that is, Lu Pingan's father, supported his son in everything he did. On the contrary, Uncle Liao himself felt that his father was too lax and too laissez-faire. As a result, now, the Palme d'Or, this made him sigh. Lian Lian, my old friend will be very happy to see it, but it’s a pity that I can’t see it anymore.

The two then chatted for a while, and Uncle Liao mentioned another thing: "Do you still have the courtyard house you mentioned before?"

When Lu Ping'an heard this, he immediately remembered that he had indeed mentioned this again.

He had come up with this idea early on, buying a quieter one for socializing and trysts, and also for adding value.

Compared with buying Moutai stocks, the value-added value of Siheyuan is not very high on paper, but in fact it is a fixed asset that can last a lifetime.

So after having this idea, he mentioned it to Uncle Liao and asked him to help him find out. He has vast connections and magical powers, which is much better than Lu Ping's wandering around the world.

So now, Uncle Liao found two very good courtyard houses really quickly.

A big stone alley connects two sets of courtyards with paired doors. One set is on the inside and can be lived in by oneself. The other set is on the outside and can be used as a meeting place or lived in by oneself. To the west of the alley is Beihai Park and to the east is Jingshan Park. It’s less than three miles away, a 10-minute walk, and about the same distance from Zhongnanhai, which is the pure “base of the imperial city”.

But after knowing the price, even though he was mentally prepared, Lu Ping'an was secretly stunned.

Two connected small courtyards of less than 300 square meters cost 4.5 million each, which is a friendly price.

This surprised Lu Ping'an. He had never inquired about house prices before, so he thought it would not exceed 2 million at most. After all, this was 2001, but now the price is indeed a bit scary.

You know, at this time, the average price per square meter in the four inner districts of Beijing was just over 6,000, and it was still a fashionable building, while the average price per square meter for a courtyard house in a good location was 19,000.

Is it expensive?

Super expensive!

Is it worth it?

It’s really worth it!

It doesn’t take long, and within a few years the prices of courtyard houses will start to soar.

In 2004, actor Yu Bo spent 2.6 million yuan to buy a dilapidated courtyard house. The location of the two courtyard houses was not as good as the two units given by Uncle Liao now. Everyone said he was stupid, but everyone found out later that everyone with money would buy it. No, I can make a lot of money just by collecting rent.

If you buy the two sets Uncle Liao mentioned now, by 2020, the total cost will be at least two or three "ice", and they are expensive but not marketable.

Lu Ping'an was hesitant. He calculated his assets. He didn't know how much he would need to acquire the copyright. Even if he didn't need to acquire the copyright, the sum of selling cars and houses plus cash would not be enough to buy two sets, only one set. Although Uncle Liao He could get a loan right here, but he still hesitated.

But after thinking for a long time and asking Uncle Liao about his loan plan, he finally decided to buy it!

Of course, this will affect his Moutai stock investment plan.

But it doesn’t matter. The stock plan is to be completed gradually within three years. The stock price of Moutai is unlikely to rise within three years, and Siheyuan is really like what Uncle Liao said.

But Lu Pingan didn't expect that he was already the "man of destiny" with two golden fingers, and he hadn't escaped the fate of paying off the mortgage. . .

In the next few days, Lu Ping'an went through all kinds of procedures, racked up millions of dollars in debt, and finally took over these two courtyard houses, which gave him the pleasure of chopping off his hands.

During this period, he was also scrutinized by some departments. Fortunately, he had a clean family background, he was the son of a cadre in the capital, and his father was also clean. He finally passed the test smoothly and became a neighbor next to the "Imperial City".

. . . . . .

On June 10, Lu Pingan took Ning Hao, Zhang Songwen, and Yiwei Yi to visit one of Lu Pingan's courtyard houses.

This yard covers an area of ​​about 280 square meters and has a simple layout.

There is a small rectangular pond in the middle of the courtyard, facing the screen wall behind the gate. When the pond is filled with water, goldfish can be raised. Several small trees are planted around the four corners of the courtyard for decoration.

The main house is on the north side of the yard, with a total of three rooms. The large room on the left is the living room and dining room, and the two smaller rooms next to it are the study room and the bedroom. On the left and right sides of the yard are the east and west wing rooms, all with a suite layout of one large and one small. The east wing room Reserve it as a secondary bedroom and the west wing as a guest bedroom.

To the south of the yard are the gatehouse and three wing rooms, followed by the kitchen, utility room and bathroom. As for the toilet, it is located in the corner between the bathroom and the west wing.

The other set has the same layout, and it is in the opposite corner of the current set. There are two or three houses around it that are occupied by people. Lu Ping'an thinks that if there is a chance in the future, he will buy them and then circle them together. , then it becomes the Little Prince’s Mansion.

"This yard will look nice if we trim the weeds and decorate it."

Zhou Yiwei really likes this courtyard house. Of course, he doesn't rule out the possibility of filtering it after he heard that the courtyard is worth 4.5 million yuan.

He didn't know that Lu Ping An had bought two sets, but this one alone was enough for everyone to envy.

It's just that he doesn't quite understand why he spent 4.5 million to buy such a yard?

Ning Hao and the others didn't understand either. They felt that Lu Ping'an had money and was wasting it.

"You don't understand, this is emotion!"

Lu Ping'an had mentioned to them before that courtyard houses and housing prices in Beijing would soar, but they didn't quite believe it.

Now the most expensive house price in Beijing is close to 10,000 yuan, and the average price is 5,000 to 6,000 yuan. This is already an astronomical figure. How many times can it rise in the future? Then you are still alive!

This kind of thinking is actually the voice of most people without houses today.

It is normal for income to never keep up with housing prices, but everyone always thinks that one day buying a house will not be a big problem.

But the reality is so cruel.

So Lu Pingan explained directly with emotion: "My family used to live in a courtyard, but now we just bought it back."

That way everyone can understand.

Then Lu Pingan began to talk about the renovation plan for the courtyard.

The group of people listened very happily, as if they were at home.

In fact, they have never lived in a courtyard house. This kind of house that can only be seen in costume dramas makes them very novel, so they all propose to come and stay for a few days after the decoration is completed. Of course, Lu Ping'an welcomes it. The house needs popularity, and he also likes this kind of house. lively.

In the evening, the two brothers went to a restaurant together. After that, everyone went back to their homes. Lu Pingping walked around the yard a few times alone, and then returned to his original home. The courtyard has not been renovated yet, and he can't get used to it.

. . . . . . .

After taking a shower, Lu Pingan came to the study room to think about his next plan.

He felt that he was a little impulsive when he bought the courtyard house. Although he would definitely make a profit in the future, he would also have a relatively private environment and assets with great potential. Although it was pleasant, it also almost exhausted his income from "Black Hole", and he still had a lot of money. It owed more than six million in foreign debt.

Before the addiction of being a millionaire is over, he becomes a millionaire.

Fortunately, he didn't panic at all. He calculated his current assets.

The total 4.6 million in copyright and sponsorship income from "Black Hole" suddenly went out, and 4 million was used to pay the down payment for the courtyard house, leaving 600,000.

The copyright income from the short film "The Tuner" was 2.4 million, and 2 million was spent on the big movie. The remaining 400,000 was used to rent an office building and purchase equipment for special effects. Later, more than 100,000 was left.

The director's income and special effects income from major movies total more than 1 million.

The profits of the two Burger King stores in the first half of the year were approximately 350,000.

Among the remaining assets, he owns two courtyard houses, three houses left to him by his parents, two 240-square-meter facade houses, a car worth 500,000 yuan, the most advanced special effects software in the world, and a A printer worth tens of thousands of dollars

In addition, the big movie "The Tuner" is about to be released. As long as the box office exceeds 12 million, it will make a profit. China Film predicts it will be more than 18 million. After calculating the return of more than 2 million, it can still make a profit of hundreds of thousands, and it also has copyrights. The income should be quite a lot by then.

In this way, the foreign debt seems to be nothing, and life is still very nourishing.

Lu Ping'an was full of confidence, but he also felt that he should really plan his future money-making plans.

As a time traveler, I have been traveling for almost a year, my total assets are just over 10 million, and I am still in debt. This really shouldn’t be the case.
