Entertainment: The Path to Best Actor for Talented Actors

After scrolling through Weibo and following the gossip for a while, Zhang Ze stopped paying attention to the matter and, as if possessed, opened a real estate app to take a look.

He plans to buy a house in Beijing. He has now met the five-year social security requirement and the funds are almost in place.

He has already received his payment for filming "Special Forces" and "Fire Blue Blade".

Each episode pays 200,000 yuan, the special forces pay a total of 5 million yuan, and Blade pays 6 million yuan!

Of the total contract value of eleven million for the two films, he received approximately four million.

Including his endorsements and other commercial performances this year, his total income after the new year is eight million.

Of course, this is before tax!

According to the standards, he needs to pay nearly four million in taxes, and the amount that actually belongs to him is probably around four million.

However, since the tax is due in March, he can use this money temporarily.

With his previous savings, he now has around 1100 million yuan at his disposal.

A 120-square-meter, three-bedroom apartment in Chaoyang District, priced at 50,000 yuan per square meter, for a total of 6 million yuan. The surrounding area is conveniently located with large supermarkets, hospitals, and schools nearby.

"No, it's a bit small!" he thought to himself.

For an ordinary household, this area has already been allocated.

But in his heart, he felt it was a bit unfair to her to live in such a small house.

He wanted to give her the best he could!

Changing the area option on the screen to 140 square meters or more, the houses that appeared in the images were indeed a step up in quality.

The total price has reached over eight million!

Buying a house is not a simple matter. Zhang Ze found a few areas he was interested in and called real estate agencies.

Let's formally put this matter on the agenda.

After returning from Xiamen, Zhang Ze took a hot shower as soon as he got home.

I accidentally stepped in dog poop when I entered the building. I don't know which inconsiderate person walked their dog and didn't clean it up.

Does walking a dog without cleaning up its poop count as the dog walking the dog?

In the evening, Zhang Ze took Xu Qing out for dinner.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he returned and entered the building, he encountered a very glamorous woman wearing a bodycon skirt, leading a teddy bear.

This woman works in the same unit as Zhang Ze, so she's most likely the one whose dog pooped on her.

While waiting for the elevator, the teddy bear kept hugging the woman's leg and nudging her back and forth!

"Ahhh... Son, don't do this to your mother! Stop it!" the woman exclaimed.

Zhang Ze was speechless. Why did you keep this thing?

After the teddy bear barked for a while, it suddenly lifted its leg and started urinating.

"Ahhh..."

"Son, why did you pee on Mommy!"

The glamorous young woman cried out in alarm and stomped her feet repeatedly.

The two large bowls on her chest surged like waves.

"Haha, serves him right!" Zhang Ze thought to himself with a smug satisfaction.

"Hey! You haven't cleaned up your dog's pee yet!"

Seeing that the woman wanted to go straight into the elevator, Zhang Ze quickly shouted.

"I'm already covered in pee, what's the point of cleaning me up? Why are you, a grown man, so nosy!"

The woman tugged at one leg and retorted to Zhang Ze with dissatisfaction.

Zhang Ze took out his phone and took a picture of the woman's back, then posted it in the community residents' group chat.

Within moments, the group chat was flooded with hundreds of replies condemning the woman.

The woman couldn't withstand the pressure and finally went downstairs to clean up before the matter was considered over.

......

the next day,

Zhang Ze got up early in the morning and ran five kilometers.

After washing up, I had a bowl of spicy soup and two fried dough sticks at a breakfast shop near the entrance of the residential area, and then drove my BMW to the Huayi Company's premises.

He was dressed very casually today, wearing a light blue sweatshirt, jeans, and sneakers.

"Good morning, Brother Ze!"

The company's receptionist, Xiao Liu, is a beautiful woman whose looks rival those of celebrities. Zhang Ze has become quite familiar with her, and she always greets him warmly whenever they meet.

At first, Zhang Ze thought it was a pity that such a beautiful girl was working as a receptionist. He guessed she wanted to enter the entertainment industry and was thinking of taking advantage of her proximity to the source.

Later, Zhang Ze realized he was wrong; the girl's father was a billionaire, and she was just there to see her idol.

"Good morning, Xiao Liu!"

Zhang Ze replied with a smile.

Leaning on the platform, he asked gossipily, "Xiao Liu, I heard that some of the new trainees at the company are pursuing you!"

"Ugh! Ze-ge, please don't bring this up anymore, it's driving me crazy!"

"I don't know where they heard that my dad is a high-ranking executive in the company and that he tried to hit on me on only his third day at the company!"

"This kind of person is disgusting!" Xiao Liu frowned and complained.

"Tsk tsk! Young people these days are so clever, always looking for shortcuts!" Zhang Ze exclaimed.

"Brother Ze, I'm telling you this, but you absolutely mustn't tell anyone else," the pretty receptionist whispered.

"Two of them have already been... you know... with rich women! They're ready to debut!"

After chatting and laughing for a while, Zhang Ze arrived at the artist management center.

He went directly to Huang Yu's office.

"Sister Yu."

Huang Yu was engrossed in reading a document when she looked up and saw Zhang Ze. She smiled and invited him to sit on the sofa, then quickly got him some water.

"After filming military dramas all year, this person has become a different person."

"He looks like he has a military bearing!"

"Haha, isn't this all thanks to Sister Yu for getting me so many military roles?"

"He's gotten darker, but he's also more muscular!"

"That's it for this year. Next year, I'll try my best to get you a few roles in urban romance dramas."

"Does Sister Yu want me to change my career path?"

"Yes, you can't keep filming military dramas, otherwise the audience will label you, and your future acting roles will be limited!" Huang Yu explained.

The two had been working together for two years and had always had a good relationship, so they sat on the sofa and chatted happily.

There were work-related matters and various gossips; before we knew it, two hours had passed.

As noon approached, Huang Yu said, "Oh right, I just remembered."

"The company has approved your application for a nanny van!"

Upon hearing this news, Zhang Ze couldn't help but show his delight.

A nanny van is like a celebrity's social calling card, and the level of the nanny van is also a reflection of a celebrity's status.

It is said that when Gao Yuanyuan first debuted, she wanted her company to provide her with a nanny car, but the agency refused because she was too low-profile.

"Great! What kind of car is Sister Yu's company planning to provide me with?"

"A Toyota Alphard!"

"Thank goodness! As long as it's not a GL8, it's fine." Zhang Ze nodded and complained.

"Who do you think you are! I'd let you ride in a GL8, do you even care about my reputation?!" Huang Yu rolled her eyes at him.

In the entertainment industry, the luxury level of a nanny van is basically linked to the celebrity's status.

At the bottom of the nanny van hierarchy is the GL8, which mainly serves ordinary celebrities.

The next level up is Alpha, which mainly caters to third- and second-tier artists.

For example, Fan Binbin and Huang Xiaoming use GMC Business Star vans.

With a length exceeding 6 meters, the van not only allows celebrities to lie down and sleep comfortably, but it is also equipped with various entertainment facilities.

Zhao Benshan, a big name in the industry and a "tycoon," commissioned a Ford E450 that is 11.5 meters long and weighs 12 tons.

Ruby Lin and Lu Yi purchased a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter with an interior that exudes a "royal" feel.

For someone of my status, owning an Alphard is quite appropriate.

With a nanny van, things will be much easier for me in the future.

"Here's the driver's phone number. You can contact him yourself."

"I won't keep you any longer. It's almost noon. Go back if you want; if you don't, you can socialize with other artists at the company!" Huang Yu handed over a note.

"I've come all this way to the company, so I absolutely have to get a free meal at the company cafeteria!" Zhang Ze joked earnestly.
