Chapter 9 Location Considerations
More than 20 acres of cedar forests are said to be big or big, but they are not small. It is not easy to calculate more than 3,000 cedar trees. It took almost an afternoon for two investigators sent by the bank to calculate all the cedars clearly and meet with Chen Yu.
"Mr. Chen, we have calculated clearly. There are 3,172 cedar trees in this cedar forest, of which 2,800 trees are above fifteen meters tall, and the remaining 300 trees are above eighteen meters tall." One of the bank investigators was panting after a busy afternoon. The suit had already taken off and put it on his arms, and a lot of dust was stuck on his clothes, but he still said seriously to Chen Yu: "According to the current market conditions, the overall value of this batch of cedars should be around 36 million to 38 million yen. It is absolutely fine if you mortgage 35 million yen to the bank."
Perhaps it is the so-called Showa spirit. Although these two bank investigators only need to count the approximate number to submit the difference, they still carefully estimated the height of each cedar tree and counted the number. This serious work style made Chen Yu quite appreciate it.
"Thank you for your hard work. I saw that you were busy all afternoon and very tired. Why not go to the hotel to take a hot spring and have a good rest in the evening. Let's go back to Tokyo tomorrow." For Chen Yu, who runs a hotel at home, it doesn't take any effort to entertain these two bank investigators, so he is not stingy with the hospitality for one night: "At least, let me do my best to serve the landlords and treat you well."
"This... isn't it suitable? We have been hospitalized by you at noon and will receive entertainment in the evening. This... and we have to rush back to Tokyo tonight." The two bank investigators looked at each other. It was not that they couldn't stand Chen Yu's entertainment, but Karuizawa's hot spring hotel entertainment was already a very high-end enjoyment for the two of them. It can be said that noon is a normal practice, but they also entertained them in hot springs at night, which inevitably made the two of them feel that Chen Yu might have something else to do and need their help.
Enjoying a treat is not a big deal, but if Chen Yu had something beyond their ability to let them do it, it would make them hesitate.
Chen Yu originally thought that the two of them were too hard and their bodies were dirty, so he planned to make them clear and clean, and then go back to Tokyo after resting for a night. When they saw that the two refused, they didn't say anything more.
The group of four returned to the hotel. Two bank investigators simply cleaned up and returned to Tokyo with the sorted information and various certificates provided by Chen Yu. Instead, Chen Yu stayed in the hotel and ran to a hot spring, and asked Kako to prepare a sumptuous meal for him.
"I didn't expect that Master Ayu, you are ready to make a movie now. If the old lady knew about it, she would be very happy." While pouring wine for Chen Yu, Xiangzi was also happy that Chen Yu was preparing to do things seriously now.
Before Chen Yu traveled through time, his predecessor never went out to find a job since he graduated from college, but was determined to be a writer, but he had never written any recognized works. Therefore, in Xiangzi's opinion, Chen Yu in the past was indeed somewhat indifferent to his career.
Chen Yu listened to Xiangzi's words and shook his head: "It's just a script that's nothing. It's just that if the movie is made, it can still be sold well, which is a skill."
"It is also your ability to write a script that can be made into a movie, Mr. Ayu!" Xiangzi didn't care whether Chen Yu's script could be a big hit. In her opinion, it was already very capable that Chen Yu could be made into a movie.
Chen Yu did not take Xiangzi's praise to him. If he could not even shoot the script that was regarded as a classic in the future, he should not lose the face of a time traveler, be a hotel owner honestly, and wait for death.
However, since Xiangzi mentioned the filming of the movie, Chen Yu remembered something and said to Xiangzi: "Aunt Xiangzi, when will it start to snow here in the hotel?"
"It snowed? I remember it started in December last year. It was earlier than the previous year, and it seemed that it was snowing in November. Master Ayu, why did you suddenly care about this? The hotel ski resorts are not open until December every year?" Xiangzi explained, and was also surprised that Chen Yu suddenly asked this question.
However, Chen Yu did not have Guan Xiangzi's doubts, but just rubbed his chin and considered his plan: "Dec. It would be a bit tight if that happens. However, there are not many shots in winter, so there is no big problem..."
Xiangzi saw Chen Yu fall into thinking, but didn't say much, but just filled the wine glass in front of him.
"Aunt Xiangzi, I plan to put the outdoor scene of the movie at the hotel for filming. If it snows, remember to notify me in time and leave enough empty rooms in the hotel." Chen Yu reconsidered his plan and felt that there was no problem, so he ordered Xiangzi.
The original outdoor scene of the movie "Love Letter" was filmed in Otaru, Hokkaido, and Chen Yu had considered filming in Hokkaido according to the original settings. However, since his home has such a large hot spring hotel and ski resort, filming at his home is also a good choice. After all, the scenery of Karuizawa is not inferior to that of Otaru, Chen Yu still remembers the winter scenery of Karuizawa shown in the Japanese drama "Quotet".
Hearing Chen Yu say this, Xiangzi put down the wine pot, looked at Chen Yu seriously, thought for a while before answering: "Master Ayu, you want to put the location of the movie in the hotel? There is no problem, but in December, it is the time when the ski resort starts to open. How many rooms do you need, Mr Ayu? If there are too many, it will affect the hotel's business."
"Then you may need to leave a few rooms. The specific needs are based on the actual needs at that time. I will notify Xiangzi before coming." Chen Yu calculated the content of the movie and said with some uncertainty.
Hearing Chen Yu say this, Xiangzi thought about it and said, "Since you said that, what do you think of the small courtyard in the south? It was originally used to rent it out as a whole. There are six suites and one large and spacious rooms in the room. They are usually rented for groups, and the usage rate is not high. There is also a courtyard with a very good view inside. It is just right for you to use it for movies by Master Ayu!"
