Tao Liangchen

Chapter 344 Panjiayuan

A campus romance movie with a touch of inspiration, warmth, and friendship – basically without any major flaws.

After watching the movie.

The person in charge, surnamed Zhao, reached out to shake hands with Su Yehao, and said with a smile:

"I think it's fine. Some of the dialogue needs to be changed. It's rare to see such a clean Hong Kong movie. To be honest, I kept expecting some gangsters to pop up. It seems like every modern Hong Kong movie has scenes like that. It's a little unusual for me to see it filmed like this."

"Haha, after last year, the streets are much cleaner. We have to keep up with the times."

Su Yehao said something polite, then tentatively asked, "So... the release, is that settled?"

"Yes, a rare good movie. I personally support it, but we still have to go through the process. I'll give you an answer in two or three days. We'll review your movie first."

The middle-aged man, surnamed Zhao, rubbed his forehead and said again: "If all movies were this good, work would be much easier. Sometimes I sit and watch awful movies for days, and my head just buzzes."

Su Yehao couldn't be more pleased with what was said.

After thanking him repeatedly, he originally wanted to treat them to a meal, but they politely declined, saying it wasn't necessary.

Submitting the film for review was smoother than expected.

On the one hand, it was because the movie itself was quite good. On the other hand, it was also because Su's father had asked someone to put in a good word. Everyone knew that Su Yehao's identity was not simple. Special arrangements were made, which was considered a small favor within the rules.

If they really wanted to nitpick, they could have suppressed the movie simply based on the reason of "early campus romance affecting the physical and mental health of adolescents."

Fortunately, it didn't involve any sensitive issues, and the theme was very positive, so there was no need to be too serious.

Director Zhao personally escorted Su Yehao downstairs. Before they parted, he asked, "Young Master Su, is this movie based on you? I remember my son downloaded a tAt program on his computer, and it was filmed at your alma mater. Did the male and female leads end up together?"

Su Yehao didn't expect him to gossip and shook his head with a wry smile, frankly saying:

"Actually, this movie is more like a large advertisement. It often intersperses scenes of the tAt instant messaging software. It doesn't really have anything to do with me. I was quite popular with girls when I was in school, so I didn't need to be so conflicted. Usually, they were the ones chasing me. As for the ending, people who like them together will hope they stay together. Everyone has different ideas. I don't think it needs to be too straightforward. Just consider it a fresh start, a new beginning. Maybe later they'll realize they're not suitable and break up again."

Director Zhao laughed when he heard this and nodded, saying, "That's right, Young Master Su grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth and is also very handsome. He's definitely different from the protagonist. Well, I'll take you here. I'll call you when I have the results?"

"Okay, thank you. I heard that schools in the mainland like to organize students to watch movies. I think the theme of the movie I invested in is still very suitable, right?"

Su Yehao took an extra step, after all, they were half-acquainted, so it wasn't too much.

Director Zhao immediately understood and didn't refuse or agree, just smiled and said, "That's not my department. I'll ask for you if I have the chance, but I can't guarantee it will work..."

After thanking him again, he got into the Mercedes-Benz S-Class sedan borrowed from his father.

It seemed that there wouldn't be a big problem with the review. The processing speed of this matter was smoother than expected. After thinking for a moment, Su Yehao wasn't in a hurry to go home. Instead, he took Nong Qingying to the Summer Palace for a boat ride.

He originally wanted to buy another better house to continue enjoying himself, but unfortunately, after asking the people from the decoration company yesterday, he didn't hear of any larger houses for sale. His house was already a well-known super mansion in the city. The reconstruction and decoration cost a total of more than eleven million, and a French bronze door alone cost more than six hundred thousand RMB.

In 1998, no one else was willing to spend money on a siheyuan (courtyard house) like him.

The first batch of people to get rich preferred to live in European-style villas or ultra-high-rise office buildings. It must be said that the environment of the siheyuan area was really not as comfortable as newly built residential areas. There was no greenery, no security, and even parking was a headache.

If you want to talk about the most expensive house in the city, the Prince Gong Mansion, the Prince Li Mansion, etc., have to stand aside in front of the Forbidden City.

Su Yehao was passing by the Forbidden City at the moment, wondering if he would be scolded as a lunatic if he learned from the film and television city and built a Forbidden City to live in.

He was just thinking about it. There were few people in his family, and he didn't have so many concubines. Even he himself felt that this inexplicable idea was really a bit of a problem. Maybe he had money in hand and was inflated...

Arriving at the Summer Palace, they ended up just walking under the shade of the trees.

Nong Qingying was afraid of getting a tan and refused to go boating in the water. Considering that she should maintain her current beauty, and in the end it was he himself who would enjoy it, Su Yehao didn't force her.

Walking around like a tourist, after asking the old man selling popsicles, the other party only said that the Great Wall and the Forbidden City were interesting places.

Unable to find a good place to go, just as Su Yehao was about to go home, a few old men playing with walnuts and playing chess under a tree reminded him.

He had always wanted to learn from his grandfather, spending a little money to buy some antiques to hoard.

Last time he came to Si Jiucheng (Beijing), he didn't take the time to look for them. This time, he just had to wait for the movie to be reviewed before leaving, so as to avoid any problems in the middle. It was a good opportunity to try his luck.

He was so rich that even finding ways to spend money required some thought, which also annoyed Su Yehao.

At this time, he turned around and walked back, saying to Nong Qingying, "Let's go, accompany me to Panjiayuan to pick out treasures and buy some gifts to show respect to my grandfather."

"Panjiayuan?" Nong Qingying asked in confusion. It was the first time she had heard of this place name.

"A place that specializes in selling antiques and groceries. I don't know what the scale is now, but as long as you have an eye for it, you should be able to find good treasures."

"You, have that eye?"

Faced with Nong Qingying's soul-searching question, Su Yehao decisively smiled and said, "Of course I don't. How can there be so many loopholes to pick up? At worst, I'll spend more money. As long as the good treasures are real, buying them at the current price will definitely not be a loss in the future. I'm already tired of shopping malls, and the attractions are all similar. Places like Panjiayuan are more interesting."

Antiques and the like seemed too niche, but Nong Qingying was also quite interested.

After the two discussed it, they immediately left the Summer Palace.

On the way to Panjiayuan, Su Yehao first called his father and asked him to ask his acquaintances in the area if there were any formal antique shops.

In addition, he also specifically contacted his grandfather, thinking that the old man might have connections.

Grandpa Tang was still far away in Australia, living on a farm for vacation and retirement. When he heard this, he just smiled and scolded him for looking for something while already having it, because in this era, good things in the mainland were not sold at high prices, and many fine antiques were sent to Hong Kong and Singapore for auction by various means.

Compared with the mainland, it was easier to find real treasures in Hong Kong. For example, last year, a Ming Hongwu Underglaze Red Yuhuchun Vase was sold for more than 20 million Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong.

In the spring of this year, there was also a Yuan Blue and White Porcelain Disk sold for a price of 10.06 million, and the buyer was Grandpa Tang.

Compared with the mixed situation in the mainland, although things in Hong Kong are expensive, they can be traded in formal auction houses, and once you buy a fake, you can ask the auction company to return the money.

For people like Su Yehao's grandfather, spending more money is more reassuring.

After contacting his grandfather, Su Yehao also understood, and his thoughts of finding treasures immediately faded a bit, but he still decided to go to Panjiayuan...
