China Entertainment King of Science Fiction

Chapter 18 Buying another apartment

"not enough!"

Zhang Jingyan rejected Chen Jingxing's figures without hesitation.

Thirteen million is not enough?

Not only was Chen Jingxing not angry, he was actually a little happy. Thirteen million was a test for him, and the result of the test was good. Not to mention the attitude of the fantasy world, at least Zhang Jingyan himself had obviously made a decision.

"Screen movies and online movies are naturally different. Online movies generally have small investments and rarely invite popular and well-known actors. In addition, there is an information distribution and recommendation mechanism within the platform."

"But screen movies must have well-known star actors, even internationally renowned directors, and this will be useful for us in promoting and arranging films. Director Chen, I think

You can understand."

Chen Jingxing had already prepared. Online movies and screen movies are indeed two ways to play.

"I can understand that if celebrity actors are invited to participate, the production cost may increase significantly, but I hope it will not exceed 20 million."

Once the production cost is too high, the allocation of investment proportion in the future may give Huanshi.com an advantage. The larger the investment at this stage, the more powerful Huanshi will be.

Zhang Jingyan saw through Chen Jingxing's concerns: "Don't worry, we don't have as much confidence as Director Chen. There may not be a high ceiling for science fiction and suspense movies in the current movie market. Huanshi.com makes movies to make a profit, not to lose money."

, once the cost is too high, the risk will definitely increase."

The two did not continue to discuss the investment ratio in detail, because the whole matter has not been settled yet, and Zhang Jingyan still has to go back and convince other executives of Fantasy World to accept the production and distribution of "Fatal Identity" as a screen movie.

“The space is pretty big.”

"Yes, the biggest feature of this apartment is that the balcony, living room, dining room and kitchen are on the same line. The living room and dining room are connected into one, and they are transparent from north to south, providing a huge sense of space."

"This is a 125-meter apartment with three bedrooms, two living rooms, two bathrooms, and a parking space."

It’s not like the agency lady has never seen rich people before, but this is the first time she has seen such a young client who spends millions. No matter how rich you are, you still need your parents to accompany you to see them, right?

Chen Jingxing's current financial situation is actually not very comfortable. With a total of 17 million in funds, DreamWorks Studio is still recruiting people. The daily operation of the studio requires money, and the office rent has to be paid monthly. Expenditures in this area are rapidly expanding.

, and he will have to account for at least half of the investment in the next movie, which is likely to be an investment of tens of millions. It is a bit nervous to spend more than 5 million at once at this time.

Chen Jingxing wants to buy a house, or to be precise, another apartment.

Some people think that it is not yet halfway up the mountain, but many others think that it has reached the top of the mountain. The evidence to support them is that the price of second-hand housing in Beijing has indeed begun to go sideways since the second half of 2013, and has even dropped slightly.

signs.

Chen Jingxing called and confirmed that the young lady in professional attire in front of the concierge was the person he was looking for. He quickly parked the car in the open space in front of the gate of the community, took out a banknote and handed it to the old man who paid the fee. He took the parking ticket and pocketed it.

He held it in his pocket and ran for two steps, looking a little apologetic.

After the future director Chen Da left Huanshi.com, he neither went home nor went to the company. Instead, he drove to a community in XC District.

"...Mr. Chen, you are so refreshing."

But judging from the information revealed in Zhang Jingyan's tone, Chen Jingxing is very confident about cooperating with Fantasy World for his next screen movie.

"Okay, let's sign the contract."

"I'm really sorry. I just had a meeting and I came a little late."

But fortunately, "Comet" still made him money. In order to buy the exclusive copyright of "Comet", Huanshi.com paid 2.8 million in cash, and the advertising accounts will gradually arrive. According to estimates, the advertising accounts will be divided within half a year.

It will exceed 3 million, and the real production cost of "Comet" is only more than 600,000, which is equivalent to earning him more than 5 million from this movie alone.

Chen Jingxing didn't expect that he would get a surprise just by asking casually. He could get away with 300,000 yuan as soon as he asked. He felt a little strange. The housing prices in first-tier cities have only seen prices rise every day, but he has never seen prices drop.

Of.

"..."

At this time when the future of housing prices is uncertain, if you can spend more than five million in cash on a house at one time, your family will never be as rich and prosperous.

"If I buy it in full, how long will it take to get the keys? How long will it take to transfer the property?"

More than five million yuan in cash is not more than five million yuan in assets. The richer people have more ways to make money. The richer people value liquidity more, and the more obsessed they are with wealth outpacing inflation. As long as they think capital makes money

The speed can beat bank interest rates and inflation. Many wealthy people choose mortgages when buying houses.

"Mr. Chen, you are too polite. You are not late. I will show you the house."

Of course, this idea is due to Chen Jingxing's lack of knowledge.

Even if he doesn't sell it in the future, if something goes wrong with the management of his DreamWorks studio, he can still borrow a large sum of money by taking out the mortgage on his house. It's not unreasonable to say that "a new director suffered a box office failure and mortgaged his property in tears to save the studio."

may happen.

Big customer!

The agency girl directly upgraded Chen Jingxing's position from a wealthy family to a rich second generation.

"Well, if Mr. Chen really wants to buy it, I'm sure the owner will accept the price of 5.1 million." The agency lady felt that the customer in front of her was quite sincere.

Although he glanced at his watch, he was not late at all. He was five minutes early.

The agent who has made an appointment in advance is already waiting at the gate of the community.

It's just that the face is a bit familiar, but I can't recall it. Maybe I bumped into a certain celebrity.

The agent lady was stunned for a moment: "Mr. Chen, you can get the keys on site. The transfer of the property may still take some time, generally it will take a month at the fastest."

For home sellers who are eager to sell at a high price, a little price concession is not unacceptable.

“Just average.”

In China in 2013, various statements about "housing prices have reached a turning point", "real estate collapse theory", "housing prices have gone sideways" and "housing prices have reached the limit" were rampant. At this time, people and opinions who believed that housing prices would continue to rise were still very popular.

It is not as loud as it was a few years later. The fact is that many people are already waiting and watching or even pessimistic about the future trend of housing prices.

There are more than a dozen properties in this community...meaning there are also properties in other communities?

Even Chen Jingxing found this entrenched atmosphere a bit irritating. There are still many rich people.

Although the information stated that he was 22 years old, the agency girl was still a little surprised to see him in person. He was young and handsome, looking like a college student still in school, and he also had money.

He didn't like the house where he used to film "Comet". It wasn't that he didn't like the floor plan, it was just that he didn't like the first floor. What he said to Zhang Jingyan before was, "If it weren't for the filming of this movie, I wouldn't buy this house."

real.

"Is there no room for the price of 5.4 million to fall?" Chen Jingxing asked casually.

The house has some simple decoration. It does not have the middle-aged and elderly style. On the contrary, it has a simple style that is popular nowadays.

Full payment?

…

"This unit type is the most popular in this community. The owner has more than a dozen properties in this community, but this is the only one with this type of unit."

In addition to the upcoming birthdays, there will be 4.84 million "falling from the sky".

But he still put on an embarrassed look and pointed at the agency girl who was still wearing a professional skirt in the late autumn weather that had been cold for several times. He couldn't remain indifferent, could he?

Chen Jingxing had never worn the bare-leg artifact. No matter whether the other party felt cold or not, he felt cold just by looking at it.

As for buying a new house, he has not yet decided whether to rent or sell the original house. Chen Jingxing is inclined to let it go first. Anyway, with the rising rate of housing prices in the next few years, it will definitely not be a loss if it is not for the "movie dream"

, the money given to him by the Shenhao system every year on his birthday has already been used by him to buy houses everywhere.

He likes high-rise buildings and floor-to-ceiling windows, and lighting in a house on the first floor is indeed a problem.

He subconsciously looked at the problem from the time perspective of 2021 in his previous life, but in fact, people in the mountain often really can't see the true face of Mount Lu.

After all, buying a house is not a big pressure for Chen Jingxing.

"Mr. Chen, if you have no other questions, let's go back to the company first? The contract must be signed at the company."

"Okay, have you driven? If not, just take my car and go to your company together."

"Thank you Mr. Chen."
