Dreams of the Fragrant River

A taxi stopped on the side of the road, and the driver turned around and said to Ye Zimei, "Miss, 4 Repulse Bay Road is ready!"

Ye Zimei handed the driver two pieces of 10-yuan Hong Kong paper. She is now a star, and said very generously: "No need to look for it. [;Starter]"

The taxi driver secretly glanced at Ye Zimei's chest, swallowed and asked, "There are rich people living around here. Miss, are you here to visit friends?"

Although Ye Zimei's exposure has greatly increased some time ago, as long as it is not released, she is only a third-rate actress, and few people know her on the street.

"Yeah, come to visit a friend." Ye Zimei got out of the car and took out her luggage from the trunk, dragged her suitcase and walked towards the gate of the villa.

The taxi driver glanced enviously at the wall of the mansion in the distance, spit out a mouthful of phlegm from the car window, stared at Ye Zimei's buttocks in the distance and said with disdain: "Che, I also visited a friend, and at first glance, it was a rich man. The mistress under the package. *! Such a big *, I don't know which **** is cheaper!"

Ye Zimei didn't know that she was despised by others. She searched for the doorbell outside the villa's gate for a long time, and finally saw a phone. She tried to take off the phone and rang it a few times.

"Hello, hello." The sudden voice from the phone startled Ye Zimei.

"You...Hello, I'm Ye Zimei from the crew..." Ye Zimei was a little unsure if she had come to the wrong place.

"Miss Ye, wait a moment..." The other end of the phone hung up.

After more than half a minute, the big iron gate of the mansion was finally opened, and a shriveled old man smiled at Ye Zimei: "Miss Ye, please come in. Mr. Kang said that the crew came in the afternoon, but I didn't expect you to arrive earlier, Miss Ye."

Ye Zimei was embarrassed and said, "I came early. I didn't have any filming in the morning, so I thought about coming early."

The main shooting location of this film is in a large mansion, and Kang Jianfei finally chose the most luxurious villa under his name, No. 4, Repulse Bay Road, to shoot.

Since most of the main creators of the crew live in Kowloon and the distance from Repulse Bay is relatively far, it is very inconvenient to come here by car every day. So the next half a month. The main creators such as Wu Yusen, Li Lichi, Zhou Xingchi, Mao Shunyun, Huang Shrimp, Miao Kexiu, and Ye Zimei all lived in Kang Jianfei's villa.

This kind of thing is very common. For example, when Zhong Chuhong followed Xu Anhua in filming, he 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 ahead and led the way.

"Thank you," Ye Zimei asked politely, dragging her luggage in with the old man. "What's your name, old gentleman?"

The old man said: "My surname is Jin, and Miss Ye can just call me Lao Jin. Thanks to Mr. Kang's meal, I and my wife can watch the house here. Miss Ye can call me or my wife when she has anything. You have to go out to buy vegetables every day, and if Miss Ye has anything to buy, she can also ask my old wife to bring it back to you."

It turned out to be the housekeeper of Mr. Kang's house. Ye Zimei's impression of rich people is still in TV and movies, and she feels that the housekeepers are the master's cronies, so she immediately respected Lao Jin, and said, "Trouble the housekeeper Jin."

Lao Jin smiled and waved his hand: "Don't call me housekeeper Jin, Mr. Kang rarely lives here, I just help him look at the house."

Ye Zimei thought to herself, "It's good to have money. You can buy such a big house and leave it empty, and hire someone to guard it."

Lao Jin took Ye Zimei to turn around a small road, his field of vision suddenly widened, and Ye Zimei looked up. Suddenly he took a breath.

Ye Zimei's ideal is to be a star and make a lot of money, drive a good car, wear a famous brand and live in a big house, so she went to apply for an actor training class, and deliberately changed her name to "Zi Zimei" because her real name "Ye Suqun" looks very strange. Rustic.

But the big house in Ye Zimei's dream was 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 pools, gardens, lawns, sculptures in the distance... Ye Mei is like being in a movie fairy tale.

If only I could live here forever, Ye Zimei thought. It's a pity that she can only live here for half a month, and most of the time has to be used for filming.

When Kang Jianfei bought the house, it was at the height of the rumors of war between China and the UK, and at that time the stocks of major groups plummeted. Those bosses whose net worth has shrunk seriously are all looking for money to fill their holes. There are really few rich people in Hong Kong who have spare money to buy houses everywhere. After all, it takes several years to buy a house and wait for the appreciation, and once the company's capital chain breaks, it will be over, so many people are selling their properties for cash at a low price, so that Kang Jianfei only spent 3 million Hong Kong dollars to start this mansion.

Repulse Bay was developed into a resort area 60 years ago, and the nearby beaches have been carefully paved, and a bus line has been specially built from Hong Kong Island City to here.

Such a beautiful environment naturally makes the rich in Hong Kong flock here, so it once set off a wave of luxury houses in Repulse Bay. But the real residences of the rich are still in the Taiping Mountains, and the houses in Repulse Bay are at most their holiday villas in their spare time. The No. 4 Repulse Bay Road purchased by Kang Jianfei was built at that time, and it cost more than 2 million to buy the land and cost (2 million at that time is equivalent to more than 20 million today).

However, in the past 20 years, the prosperity of Hong Kong's industry and the increase of population have led to a rapid decline in the environmental quality of Repulse Bay, and the water quality of Repulse Bay beach has long exceeded the standard. This situation has caused Hong Kong's top rich people to be less interested in Repulse Bay, and the house prices of Repulse Bay villas have also dropped. However, the small rich people who have made a fortune in recent years are very interested in this place, and they have built some new villas one after another. The villa has been repaired to more than 40.

It was not until the 1990s that the environment of Repulse Bay was gradually improved due to the vigorous renovation by the Hong Kong government. The Repulse Bay beach was also rated as a "good" beach by the Environmental Protection Agency, and the houses in Repulse Bay became crazy again.

For example, Kang Jianfei bought the luxury house No. 4 in Repulse Bay for a low price of 3 million. In 2010, the price was 1 billion Hong Kong dollars. Even now, although the real estate industry in Hong Kong is still in the doldrums, the economy has recovered a lot since the Hong Kong government kept the exchange rate of the Hong Kong dollar against the US dollar. ), but the house price of the villa at No. 4 Repulse Bay Road has also risen to 6 million, which has doubled in value in less than two years.

Once the Sino-British negotiation is over and the Hong Kong economy fully recovers, the price of Repulse Bay No. 4 villa will rise to more than 10 million in a short period of time.

Of course, except for Kang Jianfei, no one in this era knows how many years the Sino-British negotiation will take. Even Kang Jianfei doesn't know the exact time. He only estimates that it will be about a year or two.

For the vast majority of people in Hong Kong, the conclusion of the Sino-British negotiation is still far away at this time, and some pessimists even believe that the two countries cannot reach an agreement at all.

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 Zimei, the nature is the same, because she can't afford it at all.

Ye Zimei sat on the sofa in the living room and felt bored sitting alone for a while, so she got up and walked around, looking at the decorations in the house. Through the huge floor-to-ceiling glass, Ye Zimei looked at the swimming pool not far from the building, only to feel the crystal clear in the swimming pool, and there was an urge to take off her clothes and jump in.

"Miss Ye, your room has been packed, please come with me." Lao Jin's wife came downstairs, and a young Filipino servant followed behind her.

Ye Zimei carried her suitcase and followed behind the Filipino maid into a room, which would be her bedroom in the next two weeks.

After the Filipino maid closed the door and left, Ye Zimei put her suitcase on the side of the cabinet, then jumped onto the luxurious big bed, rolled over and over for several times, and said comfortably to herself, "This bed is so soft! "

Ye Zimei closed her eyes and enjoyed the comfortable feeling. She fell asleep not long after that, and didn't wake up until the Filipino maid called her for lunch.

Before the meal was over, suddenly there was a noise outside, Ye Zimei put down the bowl and got up to look, just in time to see Kang Jianfei bringing in a large number of crew members such as Zhou Xingchi, Mao Shunyun, etc.

"Wow, this house is so big!" Mao Shunyun looked up in the living room and sighed involuntarily.

Miao Kexiu was much calmer. She didn't speak since she came in, and she just nodded and smiled when she met Ye Mei.

As a rookie who has just debuted, Ye Zimei is full of infinite longing for her future, while Miao Kexiu has a mentality of just getting by and doesn't have too many ideas of hard work and progress.

When Miao Kexiu was the most brilliant in her acting career~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Her brother, friend and partner Bruce Lee died suddenly, which made Miao Kexiu leave Taiwan to avoid public opinion. However, her career development in Taiwan did not improve much, and instead fell into even greater criticism, because she had been in love with her married husband Ke Junxiong for many years - that is to say, Miao Kexiu returned to Hong Kong behind the infamy of a mistress.

After joining the Oriental Entertainment Company, Miao Kexiu also made a TV series and two movies, but they were all supporting roles with little drama. This time, Miao Kexiu didn't have much expectations for being pulled by Kang Jianfei to play an important role in the crew, as long as she was paid enough.

By the time everyone packed up, Ye Zimei had already finished her lunch, and she was ready to start filming after a short rest.

In the afternoon, there was only Zhou Xingchi, Mao Shunyun, and Huang Shrimp. Ye Zimei and Miao Kexiu just sat and watched, and by the way, they were familiar with the script.

"Crack, this one is great!" Three hours later, Kang Jianfei stood up from behind the camera and said, "Everyone take a rest first, and then start work after dark."
