At the beginning of December, after Chen's father "sold goods" to N houses, he helped Chen Minhao look at a house in the same community at the end of the year, with a total price of 28 million yuan.
The sellers are a middle-aged couple from Jincheng. Their only daughter is in Maple Leaf Country, so they plan to dispose of domestic assets and immigrate to Maple Leaf Country, so it will be slightly cheaper than other sellers.
After paying the down payment and completing the loan procedures with the bank, Chen Minhao spent a whole day completing the transfer procedures.
Finally, Chen Minhao and Chen's parents and Chen's mother carefully inspected the house again. The acceptance was completed and the money and goods were cleared.
The inner feelings of standing in a house you rent and standing in a house you bought are completely different.
Chen Minhao visited the five bedrooms one by one, and he was in a good mood. Chen Minhao remembered that when he first traveled back in time, Chen's mother came to visit him in Shanghai. At that time, he rented an old and small one-bedroom apartment in Shanghai. Chen's mother slept in the bedroom, but he could only sleep on the sofa in the living room. Now Chen Minhao has Got a big house.
Chen Minhao originally wanted Chen's parents and Chen's mother to go home after finishing the decoration. After all, Kyoto has heating.
But Chen's father said: "It's not a rough house now. You can live in it as long as you can live in it. When you have a wife in the future, let your wife renovate it. Now that we have renovated it, your future wife won't like it, so she will have to renovate it." If you decorate it, wouldn’t it be a waste of time, energy and money?”
Wife? This word is a bit far away.
Dad Chen also told Chen Minhao and Chen Qiang: "Don't tell your relatives in your hometown about buying a house, lest they come to borrow money, especially in front of your second aunt. If she knows that you bought a house in Kyoto for 30 million, The houses on the left and right will probably cry, make trouble, and hang themselves to borrow money."
Father Chen explained the precautions for watering the flowers to Chen Qiang in detail, and then asked him: "Is there anything you want to bring to your mother?"
Chen Qiang took out 5,000 yuan from the bank, converted 2,000 yuan into 20 yuan, and wrapped it in a black plastic bag for Chen's father to take back.
Chen’s father and Chen’s mother returned to Northern Jiangsu on the third day after Chen Minhao bought the house.
There are reasons why houses in the current community are expensive. In addition to the strategic location and good green environment, the developer itself delivers fine decoration, and the original landlord of this house has purchased all the basic soft furnishings.
Chen Minhao felt that the original sofas, tables and chairs could all be used, so there was no need to buy them. But he ordered four more expensive Simmons. After all, people spend nearly one-third of their time in bed, and it is very important to have a good mattress.
In addition, Chen Minhao also ordered a mahogany bookcase to store books and trophies.
With a down payment of more than 10 million yuan, plus some sporadic purchases, Chen Minhao looked at his bank card balance and found that there was only more than 300,000 yuan left, and he suddenly became a poor man.
After Chen Minhao returned to school, the exam week for Beijing Film Academy was approaching. There are generally two types of final exams for the Beijing Film Academy Acting Department.
One is the theoretical examination, which is to assess courses such as "Performance Semiotics", "Introduction to Art", and "Research on the History of Film Performance Art" through written examinations.
The other part is the assessment of practical courses such as language skills classes, vocal music classes, and physical classes. In addition, the Performance Department of Beijing Film Academy also requires students to work in a group of 4 to 6 people to complete a sketch or short film as a comprehensive assessment for the entire semester.
When one person is not doing well, others often think it doesn't matter. On the contrary, many people feel happy!
If one person is living a good life, other people often think it doesn't matter, but there will be many people who want to take advantage of it.
After Chen Minhao won the role of Shao Fei as the second male lead in "Detective", more and more people came to Chen Minhao to ask for the role. Some were classmates, some were seniors, some asked directly, and some asked tactfully.
Chen Minhao basically rejected them politely but firmly. On the one hand, Chen Minhao was disgusted with the behavior of going through the back door. On the other hand, more importantly, why would an alumnus who was not a relative or acquaintance have to involve himself in favors.
Chen Minhao just gave them the casting director's email address and asked them to submit their resumes themselves.
Because of Chen Minhao's "cold and ruthless" attitude, many people secretly said behind his back that he was selfish and arrogant. Luo Jing compiled statistics on who in the class had said bad things behind his back and sent it to Chen Minhao.
After Chen Minhao briefly glanced at the list, he continued to review his "Research on the History of Film and Performing Arts".
Chen Minhao has never thought about "clearing his name", nor does he intend to prove himself to anyone:
If others say that I am selfish, why should I rush to prove that I am not selfish? Once you try to prove or change your impression in the minds of others, it only means that you are being manipulated by other people's words in vain.
And what’s wrong with being selfish? Does what others say matter
When Jiao Da accused Lin Daiyu of not loving labor, did Lin Daiyu need to roll up her sleeves and prove to him that I, Concubine Xiaoxiang, loved labor and could fork horse manure
Therefore, Chen Minhao's evaluation in the eyes of many people has dropped a notch, but he doesn't care.
Chen Minhao finally decided to make a short film about the comprehensive assessment of the entire semester with his roommates.
The three roommates did not take the initiative to ask Chen Minhao for any role. Chen Minhao felt that sometimes he was a little familiar, but he was embarrassed to directly ask for something. Of course, this also depends on the person.
Chen Minhao plans to shoot a social hot topic, a short film on a bus, there will be two scenes:
A driver had a violent argument with a passenger, and the other passengers watched indifferently. In the end, because of the passenger's pushing and yelling, the driver made a big mistake and everyone in the car was fired.
Another scene shows a driver having a violent argument with a passenger, but other passengers stopped him in time. The driver smiled with relief, and the passengers successfully reached their destinations.
Two approaches, two endings. Although the plot is relatively simple, it has a certain plot tension and can reflect certain acting skills.
After discussion, the driver was played by Wang Ziqiu. This second-generation rich man has gained about 20 pounds since he started school and has a double chin. However, this is more in line with the personality of a driver.
Luo Jing plays the unreasonable passenger, while Chen Minhao and Xia Ang play other passengers.
In fact, the two roles of the driver and the quarreling passengers are indeed relatively outstanding, but Chen Minhao is no longer at the age where he has to stand out for such trivial matters, and he feels that these are ordinary roles, and if he wants to play them well, he needs more acting skills.
After all, this is an assessment for the acting department, not the directing department. The focus is on the performance, not the scene, so Chen Minhao originally planned to perform without a physical object. After all, a bus is not that easy to get, and it is of little significance.
Chen Minhao's idea was strongly opposed by three roommates, including Luo Jingnei.
Wang Ziqiu said that he could easily handle a bus and it would be fine if it crashed. This basically solves the biggest difficulty.
Luo Jing saw that Chen Minhao seemed to be still a little wavering and undecided, so he lowered his voice and said, "We must try our best to shoot well. You have rejected many students in the class, and many of them are a little hostile to you. They plan to surpassed you in the semester's comprehensive assessment.
Having a higher score than you is an honor that is more practical than a scholarship. Once their score is higher than yours, they will introduce themselves during the audition and say that their comprehensive assessment score is higher than yours. Will you feel happy then? "
