A taxi stopped on the side of the road, and the driver turned around and said to Ye Zimèi: Miss, No. 4 Repulse Bay Road is ready!
Ye Zimèi handed the driver two 10 yuan Hong Kong papers. She is now a star, and said generously: No need to look for them.
The taxi driver secretly glanced at Ye Zimèi's chest, swallowed his saliva and asked: Everyone lives nearby are rich people. Miss, are you here to visit your friend Ah?
Although Ye Zimèi's exposure has increased a lot a while ago, as long as "Love Saint" has not been released, she is just a third-rate actor, and few people know her while walking on the street.
It's Ah, come to visit friends.Ye Zimèi got out of the car and took out his luggage from the trunk, dragged the suitcase and walked towards the villa's door.
The taxi driver glanced at the mansion wall in the distance with envy, spit out a mouthful of phlegm from the car window, stared at Ye Zimèi's buttocks in the distance and said disdainfully: Tsk, I also visited my friend, and it was obvious that he was a mistress who was conquered by a rich man.Slut!With such big breasts, I don’t know which bastard is cheaper!
Ye Zimèi didn't know that she was despised. She looked for the doorbell outside the villa gate for a long time, and finally saw a phone call. She tried to remove the phone and pressed it a few times.
Hello, hello.The sudden sound from the phone scared Ye Zimèi.
You... Hello, I am Ye Zimèi from the crew of "Love Saint"... Ye Zimèi is a little uncertain if he has come to the wrong place.
Miss Ye, wait a moment... After saying that on the other end of the phone, I hung up.
More than half a minute later, the large iron door of the mansion was finally opened, and a shriveled old man smiled at Ye Zimèi and said: Miss Ye, please come in. Mr. Kang said that the crew members only came in the afternoon. Unexpectedly, Miss Ye, you arrived early.
Ye Zimèi said embarrassedly: I came early, I didn’t have any show to shoot in the morning, so I thought about coming here early.
The main filming location of the movie "Love Saint" is in a large mansion. Kang Jianfei finally chose No. 4 Repulse Bay Road, the most luxurious villa under his name to shoot.
Since most of the main creators of the crew live in Kowloon and are far away from Repulse Bay, it is very inconvenient to take a bus every day.
So in the next half month, the main creative staff such as John Woo, Li Lichi, Stephen Chow, Mao Shunjun, Huang Xia, Miao Kexiu, Ye Zimèi, etc., were all living in Kang Jianfei's villa.
This kind of thing is very common. For example, when Chung Chuhong was filming with Xu Anhua, she once slept in the mountains for several nights. At that time, the crew did not even prepare a tent.
Miss Ye, please come with me.The shriveled old man walked in front to lead the road.
Thank you, Ye Zimèi dragged his luggage and asked politely, "Old man, your surname is yours?"
The old man said: My surname is Jin, and Miss Ye can call me Lao Jin.Thanks to Mr. Kang's gift for a bowl of rice, I asked my wife and I to see the house here. Miss Ye could find me if you have any questions or my old woman.She has to go out to buy groceries every day. If Miss Ye has something to buy, she can also bring it back to you by my old woman.
It turned out to be the butler of Mr. Kang's house. Ye Zimèi's impression of rich people was still in TV and movies. She felt that the butler was the owner's confidant. She immediately respected Lao Jin and said: Please, "Please, Butler Jin."
Lao Jin smiled and waved his hand and said: Don’t call me Butler Jin. Mr. Kang rarely lives here. I just help him see the house.
Ye Zimèi thought to himself: It’s good to have money. You can buy such a big house and be empty, and you also hire someone to take care of it.
Lao Jin took Ye Zimèi to a small path, and his vision suddenly became widened. Ye Zimèi looked up and took a breath of cold air.
Ye Zimèi's ideal is to make a lot of money as a celebrity, drive a good car and wear famous brands to live in a big house, so she went to apply for an actor training class and deliberately changed her name to Ye Zimèi because her real name Ye Suqun looks very rustic.
But the big house in Ye Zimèi's dream is just a high-end apartment with an area of 3,000 feet (about 300 square meters). She had never even thought about the luxury mansion in Repulse Bay in front of her.
Looking at the swimming pool, garden, lawn, sculpture in the distance... the leaves are like being in a movie fairy tale.
It would be great if she could live here for the rest of her life. Ye Zimèi thought to herself, but unfortunately she could only live here for half a month, and she had to spend most of her time filming.
When Kang Jianfei bought this house, it was the time when rumors of war between China and Britain were rumored to be the most popular. At that time, the stocks of major groups were falling sharply. The bosses with severely shrinking wealth were looking for money to fill holes everywhere. There were really few rich people in Hong Kong who had spare money to buy houses everywhere.
After all, it will take several years to buy a house and wait for appreciation, but once the company's capital chain breaks, it will be over. Therefore, many people are selling their properties at a low price for cash, so Kang Jianfei bought this luxury house for only HK$3 million.
Repulse Bay was developed into a resort 60 years ago, and the nearby beaches were carefully laid, and a bus line from Hong Kong Island to this side was specially built.
Such a beautiful environment naturally makes Hong Kong rich people flock to it, so it once set off a trend of building luxury houses in Repulse Bay.
But the real residence of the rich is still on the other side of Taiping Mountain, and the houses in Repulse Bay are at most vacation villas in their spare time.
No. 4 Repulse Bay Road purchased by Kang Jianfei was built at that time. The land purchase and construction cost alone cost more than 2 million (2 million at that time was equivalent to more than 20 million now).
However, in the past 20 years, the prosperity of Hong Kong's industry and population have led to a rapid decline in the environmental quality of Repulse Bay, and the water quality of Repulse Bay Beach has exceeded the standard for a long time.
This situation has led to a sharp decline in interest in Repulse Bay, and the housing prices of Repulse Bay villas have also fallen. However, the little rich people who have made their fortune in recent years are very interested in this place and have gradually built some new villas. Now the villas in Repulse Bay have been built to more than 40.
It was not until the 1990s that the environment of Repulse Bay gradually improved due to the vigorous rectification of the Hong Kong government. Repulse Bay Beach was also rated as a good beach by the Environmental Protection Department, and houses in Repulse Bay became crazy and sold again.
For example, the luxury home of No. 4, which Kang Jianfei bought for 3 million yuan, was priced at HK$1 billion in 2010.
Even now, although the Hong Kong real estate industry is still sluggish, the economy has recovered a lot since the Hong Kong government's constant Hong Kong dollar exchange rate against the US dollar, and the Hang Seng Index has rebounded to around 900 points again (most half the difference from 2,000 points three years ago), but the house price of villas at No. 4 Repulse Bay Road has also risen to 6 million, and it has doubled its value in less than two years.
Once the Sino-British negotiations are over and Hong Kong's economy is fully restored, the price of villa No. 4 in Repulse Bay will rise to more than 10 million in a short period of time.
Of course, except for Kang Jianfei, no one knows how many years the Sino-British negotiations will take to negotiate. Even Kang Jianfei doesn't know the exact time. It's only estimated that it will be about one or two years.
For most people in Hong Kong, it is still far from the end of the Sino-British negotiations. Some pessimists even believe that the two countries cannot reach an agreement at all, and that the 1997 deadline will definitely be fought.
But no matter whether the price of the villa is 1 million, 3 million, 6 million, or 10 million, for a young actor like Ye Zi Mèi who debuted, the nature is actually the same because she can't afford it at all.
Ye Zimèi sat on the sofa in the living room, feeling bored when he sat alone for a while, so he got up and walked around, looking at the decorations and furnishings in the house.
Through the huge floor-to-ceiling glass, Ye Zimèi looked at the swimming pool not far away in front of the building, and felt that the water in the pool was crystal clear, and she had the urge to take off her clothes and jump down.
Miss Ye, your room has been cleaned up, please come with me.Lao Jin's wife came down from the upper floor, and there was a young Filipino maid behind her.
Ye Zimèi carried her suitcase and followed the Filipino maid into a room. This is her bedroom in the next half month.
After the Filipino maid closed the door and left, Ye Zimèi put her suitcase to the cabinet, then jumped onto the luxurious big bed, rolled around several times, and said to herself comfortably: This bed is so soft!
Ye Zimèi closed her eyes and enjoyed the comfort feeling. She fell asleep not long after, until the Filipino maid asked her to have lunch.
Before the meal was finished, a noise suddenly came from outside. Ye Zimèi put down the bowl and stood up to look. He happened to see Kang Jianfei bringing a large number of crew members including Stephen Chow and Mao Shunjun.
Wow, this house is so big!Mao Shunjun looked up in the living room and sighed involuntarily.
Miao Kexiu was much calmer. She didn't speak after she came in. She just nodded and smiled when she met Ye Zi.
As a newcomer who has just debuted, Ye Zimèi is full of infinite longing for his future, while Miao Kexiu is a mediocre mentality at this time and does not have much thought of striving and progressing.
When Miao Kexiu's career was at its most glorious, her brother, friend and partner Bruce Lee suddenly passed away, causing Miao Kexiu to leave Taiwan and avoid public opinion.
But her career development in Taiwan did not improve, but instead fell into greater criticism because she had been in love with her married husband Ke Junxiong for many years, which means that Miao Kexiu returned to Hong Kong with a mistress behind her back.
After joining Oriental Entertainment, Miao Kexiu also made a TV series and two movies, but both supporting roles with little role.
This time, Kang Jianfei was pulled to the crew of "Love Saint" to play an important role, Miao Kexiu didn't have much expectations, just give her a full salary.
When everyone packed their luggage, Ye Zimèi had already finished lunch and was about to start shooting after a while.
In the afternoon, there was only a scene between Stephen Chow, Mao Shunjun and Huang Xia. Ye Zimèi and Miao Kexiu only sat on the side to watch it, and then became familiar with the script.
Ka, this one is great!Three hours later, Kang Jianfei stood up from behind the camera and said, "Everyone should take a break first and wait until it's dark before starting work."
Ye Zimèi handed the driver two 10 yuan Hong Kong papers. She is now a star, and said generously: No need to look for them.
The taxi driver secretly glanced at Ye Zimèi's chest, swallowed his saliva and asked: Everyone lives nearby are rich people. Miss, are you here to visit your friend Ah?
