If you had $2.8 million, what would you do in Beijing?
Yu Bo, who was only 28 years old at the time, bought two sets of courtyards with the 2.8 million yuan he had saved. One of them is very close to the Forbidden City, and the other is near Shichahai.

If it seems now, this is really a wise move, but at the time, Yu Bo's decision attracted a lot of ridicule, and relatives and friends laughed at it.
They feel that the courtyard has no heating in winter, and they have to run outside to go to the toilet, which is dark and damp, and it is not comfortable to live at all, so it is better to buy a few commercial houses.
But more than ten years have passed, and these two sets of courtyards have long been worth more than 100 million!
Why did Yu Bo choose to buy two dilapidated courtyards in the first place? It turned out that Yu Bo was born in the countryside, and he liked to contact nature since he was a child, and he liked to sit in the small courtyard of the farmhouse and enjoy the spring and warm flowers and autumn flowers.
Accustomed to living in a brick house, the aftermath of growing up is full of yearning for art. At the age of 20, he received the iron rice bowl of the State Guest House. During this period, he met the singer Li Shuangjiang, which allowed Yu Bo to learn a lot of singing skills.
Many years later, he was advised to study acting, so in 1992, at the age of 22, Yu Bo gave up his job at the State Guesthouse and chose to apply for the Beijing Film Academy.
The opportunity was left to those who were prepared, and soon after, he was admitted to the Beijing Film Academy and became classmates with Yao Chen and Du Chun.
Subsequently, Yu Bo relied on his handsome appearance and had a smooth ride in the entertainment industry. Yu Bo can be said that since his debut, he has not worried about acting.
In 2001, before graduating, he was selected by the director to participate in the TV series "Xiao Shiyilang", and the other male protagonist was the popular xiaosheng - Wu Qilong.
Subsequently, in the period drama "Women's Soup", Yu Bo's acting skills were once again affirmed by people. After that, Yu Bo cooperated with Wu Qilong again and starred in his childhood memories - "The Young King".
At this time, the aftermath has faded away from the youthful acting skills and become a remarkable acting school figure, although Yu Bo's acting skills are good, the appearance is tall and handsome, but he is low-key and modest, upright and upright. There is no lace news, nor do you know how to hype to improve your popularity, and gradually become an actor who is not popular.
In fact, there are many actors like now, they are often remarkable acting skills, but they are not willing to hype the eyeballs, so although there are many works, they can only mix a familiar eye in front of the audience.
However, Yu Bo is still lucky, in 2004, the Shuiyue Dongtian crew found him, although the stars in the play, such as Cai Shaofen, Chen Farong, etc., but Yu Bo, who has outstanding acting skills, still stands out and becomes a well-known excellent actor.
When the students are running around to do dragon set actors in various crews, Yu Bo already has a lot of resources and has become the male protagonist of several TV series.
After many years of acting career, he accumulated the first pot of gold in his life of 2.8 million yuan and made an important choice - to buy two sets of courtyards in Beijing.
In 2004, he bought two sets of Beijing courtyards, and now he is a billionaire, after buying the courtyard, Yu Bo finally had a feeling of home in his heart, so he spent a lot of effort to decorate.
In fact, after Yu Bo bought the courtyard, he basically did not have much money on his body, so his life was very frugal, but Yu Bo devoted himself to the decoration of the courtyard, during which he pushed away a lot of plays, so he missed the opportunity to become popular.
His agency also went out of business because of poor management, and everything seemed to be going in the worst direction, but it didn't occur to him that the 2008 Olympics pushed Beijing's housing prices directly to a higher level.
Among them, because of the limited number and long history, the price is even more leaping thousands of miles, and the price of the two sets of courtyards in Yu Bo's hands is at least hundreds of millions.
Now 45 years old, Yu Bo has never been married, he lives alone in a courtyard in Beijing, he copies Buddhist scriptures at home when he is not filming, and he does not like to go to great lengths to deal with strangers.
In the show business circle, there are too many involuntary, and copying Buddhist scriptures can make Yu Bo quickly get peace in his heart, and Yu Bo is also called an actor who lives outside the light lamp by fans. In addition, he rarely does activities, and only thinks of ways to play each role well.
When water margin was filmed that year, voting on the Internet, Yu Bo's votes were much higher than Nie Yuan's, but it was Nie Yuan who won the bid in the end. Yu Bo is still very pleased with this, and the high number of votes is also an affirmation of himself, and it is not so important whether he can star.
Nowadays, the leisure time of the aftermath is to practice writing and raising cats at home, and occasionally shoot scenes, which is also quite pleasant.
