297 [Director Ma and Qiyuan]
Many celebrities who emerged in China in the 1980s have had two experiences: either they have been educated youth in the countryside or they have joined the army and become soldiers.
Ma Weidu worked as an educated youth in the countryside and a young rice planting expert. After returning to the city, he worked as a machine tool and became a writer for granted. "The Story of the Editorial Department" that made Ge You popular was produced by Ma Weidu's studio. The studio's partners include Wang Shuo and Liu Zhenyun and other veteran literary cannons.
Of course, what made the Beijing circle talk about was the movie "Haima Song and Dance Hall".
Ma Wei and others jointly opened a dance hall called "Haima". Friends come to drink and dance every day, and it is difficult to collect money due to face. As a result, the dance hall has been full for a long time and the business is booming, but it is a mess because the friends brought by their friends are embarrassed to collect money.
Do you dare to collect money from your friends?
Haha, then your reputation in the Beijing circle will become bad, and everyone will not be happy to play with you in the future.
Seeing that investment was going to waste, Ma Wei discussed with his partners, let’s invest in TV series. Those guys who eat and drink freely include actors, directors, screenwriters, writers, singers, photographers... They are just a complete crew, and they can even rent shooting equipment at a low price.
"Haima Dance Hall" was born. All the crew members did not take any money and worked for Ma Wei in vain. They made money from opening the dance hall by selling TV series.
Of course, Ma Wei is truly well-known because of his collection of antiques. This man started to search for antiques since he became a worker.
Early in the morning, Ma Wei drove a broken car to the place he had made an appointment with Zhang Chaoyang.
People in the Beijing circle are very righteous. Of course, they are only to be righteous to their friends, very xenophobic. When they are arguing with others, they will jump out of the crowd.
Zhang Chaoyang naturally is not qualified to join the Beijing circle, but since he had eaten together and had no conflict of interest, he could barely be considered half of his own person.
Ma Wei walked into a breakfast shop wrapped in a thick down jacket and shouted directly: "Boss, two fried dough sticks and a bowl of soy sauce!"
Zhang Chaoyang heard the voice and stood up and waved: "Mr. Ma, here!"
Ma Weidu's eyes passed over Zhang Chaoyang and soon stopped on Song Weiyang. He shook hands with Zhang Chaoyang and greeted him, and said to Song Weiyang with a smile: "Oh, today I was so happy that I actually met Master Song when I went out."
Song Weiyang smiled and said, "Director Ma, when will I become Master Song?"
Ma Wei said: "Don't you know yet? The incident of you slapped Liu Bo in the face on the spot has spread throughout the Beijing circle, and everyone calls you 'Xiao Song'."
"Hahaha," Song Weiyang laughed, "This nickname is majestic, but it sounds a bit like Yanei."
The beauty Xu is a person from the Beijing circle. Liu Bo took her into consideration. In addition to coveting beauty, she just wanted to enter the Beijing circle. However, people in the Beijing circle like to show off and especially dislike others to show off in front of them, so they especially dislike Liu Bo, the pretender. In addition, the beauty Xu was temporarily excluded from the core circle of the Beijing circle, and it was not until Xiao Gangpao and others took office that they became the favorite of the Beijing circle again.
At this time, the Beijing Circle had the right to speak in most of China's literary and film and television circles. If Liu Bo could become one of them, he would definitely get twice the result with half the effort in selling books and hypes. However, his pretentiousness was regarded as a fool in the Beijing Circle.
The writers who recorded the scene that day, and there were people from the Beijing circle, who treated this as a joke when they returned, and spread it throughout the film and television circle and cultural circle in the capital in minutes.
Ma Wei was drinking bean juice and said, "This is our respectful praise to Mr. Song. If you slapped Liu Bo in the face, I wonder how many people applauded."
"You just don't like him?" Song Weiyang said with a funny look.
Ma Wei said disdainfully: "Who will wear cloth jackets and shoes for all day long? Why are you playing the style of Wei and Jin dynasties? What kind of Qushui Liushang? Who is the whole of China a cultural person?"
If Liu Bo wants to join the Beijing circle, he must have a golden mouth. How could Wang Shuo's style of cursing people "Yao" and "Idiot"? Wang Shuo only has one reaction: You pretend to be a hammer and a cultured person, you are so stupid!
The Wang brothers in Huayi can only sit at Master Shuo’s dinner now, and the little gun cannon is even more of a hard-core dog-legged person.
Song Weiyang smiled and said, "If you have time another day, please ask Director Ma to introduce it. My girlfriend is a book fan of Wang Shuo. She wants to invite him to a meal and get an autograph or something."
Ma Wei said: "No problem. Just because Mr. Song angrily scolded Liu Bo, Lao Wang would definitely like to make friends with you."
Song Weiyang said: "I want to buy a courtyard house, the kind that is a long time ago. Director Ma recommends one."
"There are not much left," Ma Wei sighed. "In recent years, real estate has been developed and a large area of ancient buildings have been demolished. The best courtyard houses have become protection units, and the others have been demolished almost. However, there are several places that are barely made up for the purpose, but they have to be renovated and rebuilt."
"Then I'll trouble Director Ma." Song Weiyang said.
After drinking the fried dough sticks and soy sauce, Ma Wei took Song Weiyang to see the house, while Zhang Chaoyang went directly to work in the company.
"Ha, your car is domineering," Ma Wei pointed to the Hummer and asked, "How much did you buy it?"
Song Weiyang said: "The factory price in the United States is about 100,000 US dollars. My original car has been modified, and the modification fee is more expensive than the price of the car. It is not that I show that I am rich, but that the shock absorption effect of the original car is not good, it is that it is uncomfortable to sit and the air conditioner is ordinary."
Ma Wei smiled and said, "Then what did you buy for?"
Song Weiyang said: "It's awesome to drive. The four wheels of this car have blown tires and can drive safely for dozens of kilometers. It can be soaked in water all day and can continue driving after picking up."
"That's really awesome. I want to buy one." Ma Wei said.
Ma Wei drove his broken car in front of him and soon arrived at an old street.
The alley was very lively, with all kinds of shouting and shouting. As the Chinese New Year was approaching, some children were running around the ground to set off firecrackers.
It just smells bad, and a gust of north wind blows, which vaguely smells of shit, urine and sour water.
The car parked in the alley, and Ma Wei pointed to the two courtyard gates and said, "These two courtyards and the buildings next to them are collectively called 'Suojia Garden', also called 'Qiyuan', which is the house of Ming Shan, the minister of the Interior Department of the Late Qing Dynasty. The area of Qiyuan was very large, but now it is demolished to only these two and a half. There were rockery pavilions inside before. More than 20 years ago, the two rockery were removed, one moved to Dongdan Park and the other moved to Jingshan Park."
Song Weiyang said: "Is this a protection unit?"
"Article No. 18 is a protection unit, but it can be bought and sold at the district level, but it cannot be rebuilt without authorization," Ma Wei pointed to the courtyard next door and said, "Actually, the cultural relics department is all idiots. The courtyard next door is the main body of Qiyuan. The neighbors who live here know that those officials don't know, and they slapped their heads and treated the side courtyard as the main body to protect it. Did you see the sign protecting cultural relics? The content was written incorrectly, saying that this is Soetu's house. Although Mingshan's name and surname are Suo, it has nothing to do with Soetu. What's even more ridiculous is that when the tour guide brought outsiders to visit, he also said that this was the grandmother's house of the last queen Wanrong, and Wanrong's grandmother didn't live here at all."
Song Weiyang smiled and said, "So, the No. 18 Courtyard, which is the main body of Qiyuan, is now just an ordinary private house and is not a cultural relics protection unit at all?"
"That's what it means," said Ma Wei, "you buy it, otherwise it will be demolished in a few years."
At this time, the No. 18 courtyard had two courtyards, with a total of more than 20 houses, covering an area of more than 1,000 square meters. A few years later, the house number was changed to No. 37 courtyard, and the developer demolished the parking lot. As a result, part of it was stopped as soon as it was demolished, because the civil cultural relics protection personnel came forward and said that it was the main body of Qiyuan, and the protection was wrong in the past!
But the demolished ones were demolished, and there were still 15 rooms left. They were bought by the rich and repaired (can be repaired after approval). When the transaction was transferred, the price was 200 million yuan.
Song Weiyang asked: "Who is in the real estate certificate now?"
Ma Wei smiled and said, "They are all allocated collective houses. Every time you enter the courtyard house, you have to pay for them to move all of them away."
"How much does it cost?" Song Weiyang asked.
Ma Weidu asked: "Buy all the two courtyards in courtyard No. 18?"
"Buy all." Song Weiyang said
Ma Wei calculated and said, "At least 2 million yuan goes up, the money is less, so people refuse to move. If they meet a few stubborn old men, they will have to spend 2.5 million yuan."
