Chapter 66: Hoarding houses is faster than hoarding girlfriends.
Meanwhile, Li Mo had just gotten off the plane when Lao Wang was already waiting at the airport.
Old Wang now holds several positions, the only thing missing is becoming Li Mo's nanny.
"Brother Mo, have you seen the dating reality show from the Korean Peninsula? It's called 'We Got Married'."
On the way back from the airport, Lao Wang asked this question in a very strange way.
"I've seen it, so what?" Li Mo replied casually without giving it much thought.
Unlike Li Xin, Li Mo had actually seen it.
"We Got Married" is a show that started filming a long time ago and is a powerful tool for exporting the second and third generations of Korean Wave.
The unique format of celebrity virtual marriage + missions + travel + studio has received a lot of praise and has a significant impact.
Everyone enjoys watching what it's like for celebrities to be in love, and many people even project themselves into their relationships.
However, starting this year, due to its strong scripted feel and weak on-screen chemistry, the show's domestic ratings have begun to decline, but it remains very popular overseas.
Because of his sensitivity to the industry, Li Mo pays close attention to the changes on the Korean Peninsula, and is therefore quite familiar with them.
"What do you think of this show? Would you want to be on it?" Old Wang continued to probe, observing Li Mo's reaction through the rearview mirror.
Although he didn't know why Lao Wang asked this question, Li Mo thought about it for a while and nodded.
"Going to the peninsula? Forget it... My core fanbase isn't there. Did they invite me? Am I that popular now?"
Li Mo was a little curious: had his popularity already spread over there?
"Oh, no~" Old Wang first brought Li Mo back to reality, then changed the subject: "What if it's in China? Are there similar variety shows?"
Li Mo's interest waned by half.
"That depends on how well it's done. If it's good, we can give it a try."
The main difference is the public opinion environment; many things done domestically may not have the same effect as those done on the Korean Peninsula.
Some variety show effects are hard to guarantee.
"So you don't mind doing this kind of work?" Old Wang raised his voice a few decibels.
"Why would I object? I can date openly, make money, and gain followers... well, I really can't think of any downsides!"
That's how these variety shows are; they're a bit like acting, where you just need to play the role of a good boyfriend.
Old Wang didn't say anything more and silently typed "ok" on his phone.
As October approached, the weather in Beijing was pleasantly cool. After landing in the city, Li Mo promptly dialed Li Xin's number.
I invited her out to dinner; after all, she bought me a house, so I should treat her to a meal.
No one owes anyone anything, that's reasonable!
...
Dilraba took a break for a while after joining the cast of "Swords of Legends".
Especially without Li Mo, Reba feels that her life has become much more mundane.
Since Li Mo left the film crew, the two have only communicated via WeChat and haven't met in person for a long time.
Reba still misses life on the set of "Swords of Legends".
During her break, in addition to taking care of her own life and working hard to improve her acting skills, she also actively cooperated with the company to do her job well.
Attending auditions, shooting for magazines, and quietly waiting to join a production team.
She only recently participated in the audition for "Ban Shu Legend" under the company's arrangement and successfully played the role of Princess Loulan.
Just like Qin Lan said before, it's still very difficult to play the male or female lead in Jaywalk Studio, or rather, it's simply impossible under the current circumstances.
But if you want to play a minor supporting role, getting a small role is still quite easy.
In addition, the role that Dilraba auditioned for was quite suitable for her; she was the princess of Loulan, and Loulan should be in the Western Regions...
She has been following Li Mo's news closely, watching every episode of her shows, and leaving her mark on every topic related to Li Mo.
However, recently, Reba and Li Mo have not had much contact.
One reason is that Li Mo is very busy. He has flown to Beijing several times, but each time he has work commitments. Reba tried to make an appointment with him a few times.
Without exception, Li Mo rejected all of them. It wasn't that he didn't want to see her, but his schedule was too tight.
The bar understands, so there's nothing they can do.
Another reason is that Reba felt that Li Mo didn't seem to like her very much, and it was always Reba who initiated the conversations with him.
Moreover, he always keeps repeating the same calls, and he only makes one phone call a week.
She looks completely different from when she was on set; it's like she's not the same person at all!
Reba also wanted to see if this bastard could take the initiative, so she didn't contact Li Mo much during this period.
She's waiting...
However, she had clearly gotten what she was looking for; there was no way around it, the commission was just too tempting.
Li Mo's trip to Beijing this time had no other reason than for her.
With the finals drawing ever closer, all the interviews, recordings, and filming have been completed, and the remaining schedules have come to a standstill.
These past few days have been a special trip he took to Beijing to prepare for a meeting.
"Phew~ This time it's yours!"
In the restaurant, Li Xin handed over all the keys and other items to Li Mo.
After the handover was completed, Li Xin breathed a sigh of relief, probably because the house was bought entirely according to her preferences.
Every single one of them struck a chord with her heart.
So she found it pleasing to the eye no matter how she looked at it, and even felt a little reluctant to part with it during the handover.
"Aren't you going to invite me in?" Li Xin asked, resting his chin on his hand.
Li Xin clearly wanted to take another look; perhaps she would buy another one in the future.
The next house should also be decorated in the same style as this one.
Li Mo clearly disagreed. "I don't think it's necessary... Besides, we haven't bought anything yet, and there's nowhere to sit!"
Li Xin pursed her lips, and seeing that the reason Li Mo had come up with was reasonably plausible, she gave up the idea.
"Then invite me over after you've moved!" Li Xin still didn't give up.
"No! Please don't!"
Li Mo's reaction this time was much stronger. What would happen if he ran into Reba?
Isn't this ridiculous?!
Can you really dig a hole for yourself?
"To be honest, this house wasn't actually for myself. It's for my younger brother... He's getting married this year, and my mom is pressuring me to buy him a house..."
"Um... Brother Fudi?" Li Xin suddenly thought of a title.
"Oh yeah, and he looks just like me, maybe you'll meet him someday..."
After handing over the house, the two chatted for a few minutes before Li Xin took his leave.
After seeing Li Xin off, Li Mo stayed in the restaurant and secretly pondered for a while.
Now that I own a house in Shanghai and another in Beijing, to maintain balance, my next house will probably be in Hangzhou.
Sichuan Province and Changsha can also be prepared, in addition to...
In short, we should try to keep them dispersed, and even hold several sets in each city.
A cunning rabbit has three burrows, after all.
Li Mo isn't hoarding houses; these few units don't count as hoarding. Other people buy houses in entire residential complexes.
Li Mo is definitely a pragmatist…
