"Do you know their boss?" Liu Qingshan asked.
Chen Jianbin nodded in approval: "I'm quite familiar with him. I've known him since he opened a hotel in Xiaoshan more than ten years ago! Later, when an airport was built there and the hotel was demolished, he moved his business here!"
"Business is not good? The township government compound is quite large. Can it earn rent?"
"But his barbecue makes money. From ten o'clock in the morning, it is as busy as a running restaurant in the countryside. There are almost no empty tables! And that building is now rented out as a business building, so there are very few people in the building at night. The remaining first floor hasn’t had time to be renovated.”
Liu Qingshan had an idea, "Is it possible to rent a room on the first floor for a long time?"
"Is this necessary? But it is still possible for me to come forward. It may even be easier than my introduction if you need it!"
"As long as the rent is not too expensive, it is still necessary. In addition to us, other actor friends can also stay!"
"Although the surrounding hotels and hotels are not cheap, they are not as expensive as the ones there. It's because the yard in front is too noisy, and there are occasionally drunken people making trouble, so the business of the previous hotels was not good!"
Jinxi Shan saw Liu Qingshan looked at him, smiled and nodded in agreement: "It is still necessary to pay no more than a thousand yuan a month. Even if you only live in it for two or three months a year, the two Tibetan lions can follow them together in the future." coming!"
The two people made an unintentional decision to build Xueyu Entertainment's first actor training base in Hengdian, the largest film and television city in the mainland.
But at this time, none of the three people realized this. When Chen Jianbin walked over and called the shop owner friend, Jin Xishan was still asking about the meaning of renting a yard.
"Why did you suddenly come up with the idea of establishing a base here?"
Liu Qingshan smiled: "You still know me. The year before last, this place was certified by the country as the only national film and television industry development base. And as you can see, many new filming spots are still under construction with great fanfare. There will definitely be more in the future. Spanning five thousand years of history, a large-scale real-life shooting base has emerged that brings together the regional characteristics of the north and south! Another point is that the high-tech studios here have begun to take shape, not just one or two, but the infrastructure is also quite complete. In this small The town can complete a lot of scenes, eliminating the cost of transitions all over the world. In the future, more crews from home and abroad will flock to film!"
"I understand this truth, and many people in the industry can also see it. Tell me the truth, do you see something that outsiders haven't noticed?"
"I have heard people say that the tourism projects here need to be made bigger and stronger. In order to meet the different needs of tourists, they are now developing nearby natural landscapes and creating a large number of live-action shows based on different scenarios. , allowing customers to experience the customs of different eras as if they were on the scene. You said that with such forward-looking managers, how could the future here not develop well? "
"Do you want to find a long-term base here first so that you can find an opportunity for Xueyu to participate?"
"Yeah, I just drove around in a big circle around here, and I passed by the old township government compound that Teacher Chen mentioned. I'm very optimistic that it and the surrounding area will be completely annexed by the film and television city in the future. It’s also a matter of time!”
This is not because he was talking nonsense. He had been walking slowly on the way here, using his powers of observation to carefully understand the situation near the film and television city.
I also vaguely remember that there was a huge open-air barbecue city in a roadside compound.
That place is very close to here, only a few minutes' drive away. If we can stay there, there might be extra surprises.
The next moment, Chen Jianbin brought back good news: "My friend's name is Wang Qiang, a very common name, right? He heard that you were looking for a house, so he agreed without saying a word, and told me very straightforwardly. Yes, being able to borrow your fame is a development opportunity, and all rental fees can be waived!"
Liu Qingshan chuckled: "This person is quite interesting, but he doesn't look like a businessman at all. How come he just gives it away!"
"He said that the whole family is a firm supporter of you, and it is an honor for their family to be associated with their idol! If you ask me, this person is quite shrewd, otherwise he would have done business in the past It won’t be that big, even the investment here is definitely not small. Go and take a look, you will be surprised at least the floor space!”
"I have nothing to do anyway. You continue filming. I'll go over and take a look now!"
Jin Xishan scolded him: "The lunch box has been brought to you. Just eating a few bites shows that you didn't rush there at this time just to be greedy!"
Chen Jianbin laughed loudly: "Xishan, if he wants to go, he can go. I've almost vomited after eating box lunches recently. It's understandable if he has ideas!"
Liu Qingshan left immediately because he would not stay here and continue to listen to others. At the same time, there was an extra business card in his hand, which was given to him by Chen Jianbin.
As he walked away, he turned around and made a funny face to instigate: "Sister Xishan, why don't you take a day off and come with me? Teacher Chen will have more scenes this afternoon anyway!"
Jin Xishan laughed and scolded him: "Go away, get out of here and stop tempting me. Why don't you always take time off from work? There are hundreds of people on the set!"
Liu Qingshan laughed and ran away quickly. When he arrived at the barbecue compound, he found his business card and made a call.
Soon someone ran over panting, and before they even left the gate of the compound, they were shouting: "Mr. Liu, no, don't get out of the car, otherwise you will be blocked soon!" "
In fact, Liu Qingshan had already considered this. He opened the door and got out of the car just for show, just to see how Wang Qiang would handle this matter.
Sure enough, this man's shrewdness was not what Chen Jianbin praised him for, and he explained immediately after he got in the car: "This time is the time for the master to be here. If you are discovered, I will not be able to protect you." comprehensive!"
"The public security order here is very chaotic?" Liu Qingshan raised his eyebrows slightly.
That Wang Qiang quickly explained: "No, no, of course Mr. Liu knows your own influence. My two daughters, when they heard you were coming, they were running around like crazy just now, and I didn't dare to let them go." They come here!"
"So it's not a security issue?"
"How is it possible? There are few places as safe as here in the country! I mean you have too much influence. Although most of the people who eat here have seen many celebrities, they don't have the appeal you have. Bigger, you are now the idol shared by generations!"
"Boss Wang, it's over, it's over. Although I'm very happy to hear it, I can't exaggerate it!"
Liu Qingshan drove the car and turned left and right according to the instructions, while joking about his background.
Unexpectedly, Wang Qiang always looked serious: "My words may sound a bit exaggerated, but Mr. Liu does have a huge influence among the people. Even my sixty-year-old father saw you on TV. I can’t even move my feet!”
Liu Qingshan did not continue to struggle on this topic: "Boss Wang is forty years old this year?"
"I'm forty-five. I was still a young man when I met Chen Jianbin, but in the blink of an eye I was half buried in the ground! He was also young at that time, only in his early twenties!"
"He is from the territory. He was in school at that time, right? How come you met in Xiaoshan?"
"He started filming when he was in school. He went to Xiaoshan because of his first TV series. Since he had very few roles, he often sneaked out to help me roast whole lambs. It was indeed his hometown's craftsmanship. He helped me a lot. I’m quite busy!”
"We haven't lost contact since then?"
"We were separated for nearly ten years. At that time, we only had BB phones. Later, the paging stations were stopped and we couldn't contact him again! Later, we met here again. The boy cried because of this! In fact, we were in Xiaoshan at that time , and he only stayed for four months."
"Teacher Chen values feelings, and many people in the circle know this!"
"Well, Jianbin is pretty good. Apart from being a bit impatient occasionally, there's nothing wrong with him!"
"Teacher Chen is impatient?"
"When I was in Xiaoshan, I also opened a barbecue stall in the backyard of the hotel. You know that those in our line of work cannot avoid dealing with Jiu Mengzi. Jianbin was young and energetic at that time, and he fought several people because of me. Struggle, that’s when we started to get along!”
After the car entered the gate, it did not pass directly by the large row of barbecue areas. Instead, it chose to go around and find a gap in the temporary parking area on the side to drive the car to the backyard.
The first floor of the office building in the backyard used to be connected to the barbecue area, but because there were too many people drinking, people often found themselves inside the building to use the toilet, so a fence was later put up to separate the two areas.
Before the car stopped, several figures appeared on the first floor. The one at the front was an old man in his sixties or seventies with the same fat figure. He was obviously Wang Qiang's father.
Behind him is his wife, who has white hair but is in excellent spirits.
He spoke with the same Northeastern accent as Wang Qiang: "Oh my god, it's really Mr. Liu! Then what, brother, no, Mr. Liu, hurry up and get on the Kang, you haven't eaten yet!"
"This is my mother!" Wang Qiang explained at the side while breaking off the mother's hands that Liu Qingshan was holding firmly.
Liu Qingshan didn't mind at all and grabbed it with his backhand: "Uncle Wang, do you mind holding Auntie's hand? And she was the one who caught me first!"
What he looked at was Wang Qiang's father. The old man's laughter was very wild: "She is already the youngest. I don't care about her anymore. You can take her away!"
Aunt Wang turned around and glared at the old man fiercely, then quickly turned back and pulled Liu Qingshan up and left: "Our family has always been jealous of you, no, those two little girls have been very busy painting their eyebrows and eyes right now! "
In addition to the old couple, there were also two little girls of fourteen or five years old standing timidly. They looked like twins at first glance, with the same clothes, the same height and eyebrows.
However, the lipstick was clearly applied in a hurry and was very unprofessional. There were uneven and irregular smear marks on the corners of both people's mouths.
