Entertainment: Since 1990

Chapter 75 The Enthusiastic and Active Jade Girl

Chen Shaobao, the boss of New Art City, had indeed asked Wang Fei to contact Cao Jian for a song.

I didn't expect that she actually made the appointment.

However, he was worried that Cao Jian would put forward some excessive conditions.

Wang Fei smiled and said, "Boss, Cao Jian is a very good person. He likes me and my voice. I don't have any conditions. I just want him to get the share of the profits."

"That's it."

Chen Shaobao didn't notice the pause and nodded, "I didn't expect Mr. Cao to be so nice to a fellow villager like you."

After that, I went to watch two songs.

Wang Fei smiled secretly in her heart, that bad guy Cao Jian, of course he is nice to me, because he is my boyfriend.

However, for the sake of their careers, the real secret cannot be made public for the time being.

After reading the two songs, Chen Shaobao immediately clapped his hands and said, "These two are really well written. One is original, and the other is a cover. The lyrics are also well written. President Zheng Donghan really has a good eye for signing this newcomer named Cao Jian!"

These words of praise for her boyfriend made Wang Fei feel proud.

She told her boss, "Both songs are good. I think they can be the title songs for both albums. I'll record them as soon as I get back from the US."

"What about the fees and commission? Have you discussed it? How much should I give?"

"Mr. Chen, have you read the newspaper? Cao Jian's reputation now is at least as high as that of musicians like Lin Xi."

After a night, Wang Fei's elbow was bent on Cao Jian.

"Ok."

Chen Shaobao watched the morning news and learned that Cao Jian had performed brilliantly at last night's concert.

Lin Xi is a famous musician in Hong Kong, and the fee for singing his songs is not cheap.

Although Cao Jian is still a newcomer, he already has a reputation. In order for Cao Jian to help write more songs in the future, it would be nice to give him more.

He agreed and asked, "Now that we have the songs, should we release the album for you first, or go to the US as planned?"

"Of course, go to the United States."

"Still going to the United States?"

Chen Shaobao didn’t understand. With such good songs already available, why would he go to the United States?
Can’t you release the album earlier and make money?

"I need to study."

Wang Fei was very determined. She found that there was a big gap between herself and her boyfriend, and she had to study hard to be worthy of Cao Jian.

In addition, my boyfriend promised to visit me in the United States when he is free.

At this time, Cao Jian did not go to the company.

After the concert, the company gave him a day off, and Cao Jian found a real estate agent to go look at houses.

"Mr. Cao, this apartment has a great location and privacy. It's not far from PolyGram. Many Hong Kong artists own properties here."

The real estate agent recognized Cao Jian and knew that celebrities were big clients, so he praised the house to the skies.

"This house won't do. It's too small."

Cao Jian doesn't like the house of more than 100 square meters.

If you want to buy something, buy a big one.

"We have other large flats of over 2,000 square feet elsewhere."

Houses in Hong Kong are priced by the square foot. More than 2,000 square feet is more than 200 square meters.

"Then go and have a look."

Just as Cao Jian was about to go see him, his agent, Ke Zhihui, suddenly called him: "Mr. Cao, someone called you from the mainland, saying it's your brother. Do you want to give him your phone number?"

"younger brother?"

Cao Jian was stunned. Could it be that the KTV was renovated?

He said to his agent, "Give him your mobile phone number."

Not long after, the cell phone rang.

"Brother, this is Lao San. I'm calling you from the Foreign Affairs Hotel. Our KTV is finished being renovated. When will you be back? Your sister-in-law misses you."

In the 1990s, it was not easy to call Hong Kong. You could only go to some foreign-related hotels, otherwise it would be impossible.

"I'll go back after I finish filming a movie."

Cao Jian is about to film "The Banquet". Fortunately, the film only takes one week to shoot, and Cao Jian's role only lasts two days.

And these two days, I just happen to be able to accompany Wang Fei.

If you want to be a scumbag, you must first learn from Master Luo and become a qualified time management master.

When Cao Wei heard that his cousin was going to film a movie, he immediately asked, "Brother, you can already film a movie? What kind of movie is it? Can I watch it in Guangzhou?"

"We should be able to find the videotape."

The movie "The Banquet" was only released in Hong Kong, and the box office was only over one million Hong Kong dollars, which is not high. It was not released in mainland China.

However, Cao Jian is going to shoot "Swordsman", and this movie should be available in mainland China.

"I'll definitely watch it then."

Cao Wei noticed that his cousin was doing better and better after arriving in Hong Kong, and he was happy for him: "Next time you come back, please bring me some celebrity autographs."

"no problem."

"Sister-in-law is talking to you."

After Cao Wei finished speaking, Yang Yuying's voice soon came from the other end of the phone.

"Dear, did you miss me?"

"think."

"I miss you too. Come back soon. I've found two places to open my second and third clothing stores." "Wife, you're great."

"You're great too. I'll wait for you to come back."

The two chatted sweet nothings for a while, Cao Jian hung up the phone, and just as he was about to go see the house, the phone rang again.

"Who?"

"I'm Zhou Huimin. Why didn't you come to the company today?"

"The company gave me a day off, what's wrong?"

"I heard TVB is planning to film a drama to celebrate its 25th anniversary. I'm planning to see if there's a role that would suit me. Do you want to go?"

"Of course I want to go."

Cao Jian really didn't expect that Zhou Huimin would call him on her own initiative.

In fact, he knew about TVB's plan to film an anniversary drama earlier than Zhou Huimin. It was his teacher Hu Weili who told him.

"Where are you? I'll pick you up and go with you."

"I'm looking at houses."

"You want to buy a house? You don't know much about the Hong Kong housing market. I happen to be free, so I can help you check and negotiate the price. I'm an expert at bargaining."

"Okay, come on."

Cao Jian told Zhou Huimin the address, but he was a little curious. Why did the beautiful girl suddenly become so enthusiastic and proactive?

Are you impressed by my charm?

It shouldn't be
Although he was suspicious, he couldn't figure out where the problem lay.

The place where they were looking at houses was not far from PolyGram. After only a dozen minutes, Zhou Huimin's car arrived.

Today, Zhou Huimin is wearing a red striped T-shirt and a white miniskirt. Her long and straight legs are exposed, looking dazzling in the sun.

She has a delicate oval face and a lively and sweet smile.

"it's beautiful."

Cao Jian couldn't help but look at those two beautiful legs a few more times.

This time, Zhou Huimin was not angry, but felt quite proud.

She walked over to Cao Jian with her long legs and asked, "What house do you want to see?"

"A two-thousand-square-foot flat. I was just about to go look at it when you called."

"Then go quickly."

A house of more than 2,000 square feet is considered a luxury house in Hong Kong. Although Zhou Huimin has entered the entertainment industry, her income is not high and she cannot afford it at the moment.

Cao Jian is different. Not only does he have a signing fee of 20 million, but if his album "The Sea" can sell 5 million copies, he will have no problem selling ten luxury houses.

Zhou Huimin was still driving, Cao Jian was sitting in the passenger seat, and the real estate agent was sitting in the back seat.

He secretly looked at Zhou Huimin and wondered in his heart, are these two people in love?
Otherwise, how can we go house hunting together?
But Cao Jian is also very handsome and sings well. He seems to be quite a match for a beauty like Zhou Huimin.

There are very few pre-sale properties in Hong Kong, and most of them are fully furnished.

However, in Hong Kong today, there is already a concept of common areas.

This house is located in the Mid-Levels of Hong Kong Island. The community environment is very good, there are very few residents, and they are all wealthy people.

Looking at this luxurious house, Zhou Huimin was a little moved.

And the house is over 2,300 square feet, it’s really big. It would be nice to live here.

It's the price
Before Cao Jian asked the price, Zhou Huimin asked, "How much is this house?"

"Six hundred and ninety Hong Kong dollars a foot."

"So expensive?"

Zhou Huimin counted on her fingers and found that this house would cost nearly 1.6 million Hong Kong dollars.

This house is too expensive.

With my current strength, I definitely can’t afford it.

Cao Jian heard the price and did some mental calculations. It was nearly HK$6,500 per square meter, a bit pricey. He asked, "Can I get a discount?"

"Mr. Cao, if you really want it, I can give you a 7% discount."

"Then let's have a set."

Under Zhou Huimin's shocked gaze, Cao Jian directly decided to buy the house as if he was buying an ordinary item.

Logically speaking, he shouldn't have received any share of the new album's profits, so how could he afford such a big house?

Is he so rich?

Wouldn't he be even richer if he waited until he got his share of the "Ocean" album?

He earned this money with his own ability, but his rumored boyfriend relied on his father's support.
Cao Jian noticed Zhou Huimin's puzzled look, but without explaining, he smiled and said, "You like it here too? How about you buy a house too? We can be neighbors."

"I"

Zhou Huimin pondered for a moment and whispered, "I think the house is too big. I can just buy a smaller one."

Cao Jian also knew that Zhou Huimin's album sales were not very good and she had not filmed many movies, so she definitely did not have much money.

He smiled and said, "A bigger house is better. If you don't have enough money, I can lend it to you. Just pay the interest."

"unnecessary!"

Zhou Huimin was originally very happy to hear that Cao Jian would lend her money.

But when he heard that he had to pay interest, he immediately turned around and muttered to himself: "You didn't even say you were going to give me a set, and you're still trying to seduce me."

But then I thought, "The house is so expensive, why would they give it to me?"
