Chapter 76 You need to make the most of this!
A few days after signing Fan Binbin, Lin Hu moved.
There are so many people looking for him now that he can no longer live in his old place.
Lin Hu moved to the Donghu Hotel in Dongcheng District.
This is a high-end residential community primarily targeting expatriates, but also has a small number of Chinese residents.
This place is mainly for leasing and only accepts foreign currency.
Rent a detached villa here for $10,000 a month.
It's very expensive, but Lin Hu can afford it. He's almost a billionaire, so this amount of money is nothing to him.
Moreover, this place is quiet and has 24-hour security, so ordinary people can't get in.
He's so famous now that not only are there many people begging him to make movies, but also many entertainment reporters and paparazzi who want to find news about him.
Living in such an upscale neighborhood can effectively prevent these kinds of things from happening.
After moving to their new home, Lin Hu and Zhou Xun invited their friends over to visit.
Huang Bo, Ning Hao, Fan Binbin, and others have all signed with Lin Hu's company.
As the group entered the community, they were greeted by a Suzhou-style garden with pavilions and towers, which complemented the emerald green lake and waterfall.
Fan Binbin's eyes lit up. This place looked incredibly expensive, and she wondered when she would be able to afford to live there.
There are upscale French restaurants in the neighborhood, but Lin Hu didn't take everyone there. Instead, he invited the chef to his home to cook on-site.
A long table, covered with a snow-white tablecloth, is set with exquisite cups, plates, knives, and forks.
One after another, exquisite dishes were served, a dazzling array that greatly whetted one's appetite.
The wine was poured into a stemmed glass, and Lin Hu, as the host, raised his glass and gave a toast.
"Hey everyone, let's try something different today! Eat and drink well!"
Seeing his very serious demeanor, everyone thought he was about to deliver some dramatic lines.
So everyone sat up straight, pretending to listen attentively.
But no one expected him to say that, and everyone couldn't help but laugh.
As everyone ate and chatted, Fan Binbin, sipping the delicious lobster soup, couldn't help but take in the villa's furnishings.
The magnificent crystal chandelier, the soft carpet, the exquisite furniture... everywhere exudes an atmosphere of luxury.
She couldn't help but ask, "Boss, this house must be very expensive, right?"
Lin Hu laughed and said, "It's rented. You guys work hard, and I can buy it next year."
Everyone was speechless for a moment. Huang Bo complained, "Boss, you're being way too direct!"
……
Lin Hu signed Fan Binbin, so he has to find resources for her and promote her.
However, Lin Hu has been quite busy lately and doesn't have much energy to handle this matter.
The new school year is just around the corner, and he's going to make an appearance at the school.
Yes, he scored 508 points on the college entrance exam, which is above the first-tier university admission line in Beijing, but he is still 80 points short of Tsinghua University's admission line.
It wasn't that Lin Hu didn't want to get a higher score, but rather that he simply couldn't do it.
After he transmigrated, his memory was enhanced, but remembering doesn't mean he can do it.
For example, in math, memorizing the textbook won't help; if you don't know it, you just don't know it.
Lin Hu didn't deliberately search for this year's college entrance exam questions to cheat, so this is the best he could do.
Even so, this score is already incredibly high, far exceeding the admission score for the Performance Department of Taipei Film Academy.
After the start of the school year, he will also go to the United States to promote the release of "Ong-Bak" and attend the New York International Film Festival to promote "Ong-Bak 2".
Since I don't have time to promote it myself, I can only find resources outside.
However, Lin Hu has been in Beijing for over a year and has been busy with his own affairs. He is not very familiar with the Beijing entertainment industry and has not communicated with them much.
The so-called "Beijing circle" mainly refers to the second-generation elites of the Beijing Film Studio, such as Tian Zhuangzhuang, Chen Kaige, and Li Shaohong.
There's also Aunt Hua's group of children from the compound, including Erwang, Wang Shuo, Jiang Wen, and Feng Xiaogang.
However, Feng Xiaogang could only be considered half a member; those proper children of high-ranking officials didn't think much of him.
Wang Shuo even wrote a character named Feng Kuzi in the TV series "Days Related to Youth," openly mocking and ridiculing Feng Xiaogang.
Of the two groups, Lin Hu had a better impression of the factory's second-generation rich kids.
Tian Zhuangzhuang and Chen Kaige are both people with artistic aspirations.
Although their artistic pursuits are seen by the public as nothing more than pretentious posturing.
But they did produce some good works.
Li Shaohong mainly directs TV dramas; her works such as "Palace of Desire" and "The Orange is Red" are quite good.
Because he wasn't familiar with people in the industry, Lin Hu asked Zhou Xun, who had been taking on many roles recently, if she had any projects she could recommend.
However, Zhou Xun suggested a project that sounded extremely improbable.
Forget it!
In the end, we still have to make our own pie.
Lin Hu first offered Fan Binbin a pie in the sky.
"I'm preparing to film a new movie, and you'll be the female lead!"
"real?"
Fan Binbin was overjoyed. Lin Hu is an Asian superstar. To be the female lead in his movie would be incredibly prestigious! Even Zhao Yanzi probably couldn't get that role.
Lin Hu calmly replied, "Of course it's true!"
"Then what role will I play?"
"I'm the male lead, and you're the female lead, so of course we're playing a couple."
"What kind of story is it?" Fan Binbin was too excited and couldn't help but ask for details.
"I don't know yet, there's no script. Let's settle the relationship first."
"You can do that?" Fan Binbin found it unbelievable.
"What's so special about that?" Lin Hu asked, showing off his newfound knowledge. "You know Director Zhao Baogang, right?"
"I know!"
"He's currently preparing for a film, but he doesn't even have a script yet. He plans to finalize the cast first, and then write the script based on the actors' personality traits..."
"So that's how it works?"
Fan Binbin was impressed, realizing he had truly never seen anything like it.
She stopped asking questions, happily went home, and waited for the movie to start filming.
……
A few days later, it was the first day of school.
Lin Hu got up early and drove to pick up Gao Yuanyuan so they could go to the Beijing Film Academy for their report.
Gao Yuanyuan scored 382 points and was successfully admitted.
Huang Bo only got into a vocational high school, but after careful consideration, he decided not to go.
After working with Lin Hu on two films, Huang Bo gained some fame in the industry, and his comedic talent was recognized.
He's getting a lot of offers for roles now, even though he's only playing supporting characters, he's still making a good living.
Comparatively speaking, he looked down on a lousy vocational high school where getting a diploma was pointless.
On Gao Yuanyuan's first day of university, her parents should have been the ones to see her off.
However, since Lin Hu was doing it for her, her parents were spared the trouble.
As soon as Lin Hu's car pulled up in front of Gao Yuanyuan's building, Gao Yuanyuan saw him and waved to him from her balcony.
"Come on up, I have so much luggage!"
Lin Hu looked up at Gao Yuanyuan, who was smiling radiantly, shook his head, and went upstairs.
This was Gao Yuanyuan's little trick, and Lin Hu reluctantly ate it.
As soon as Lin Hu entered Gao Yuanyuan's house, he was warmly received by her mother.
The mother-in-law found her son-in-law pleasing to the eye no matter what. Seeing that Lin Hu hadn't eaten breakfast, she personally cooked him some fried noodles with soybean paste.
Lin Hu sat in the living room, chatting politely with Gao's father.
In the kitchen, Gao's mother was slicing cucumbers, instructing her daughter, "This Lin Hu is handsome and talented, Yuanyuan, you must seize the opportunity!"
