Chapter 109: A Small Town
In the distance, the tall antique city wall encloses the side of the film and television city facing Hong Kong in an irregular half-arc, and then extends the line of sight to see that there are countless antique buildings inside, like an ancient city. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info and then it is a modern city, and the high-rise buildings that have been built up are stacked on top of each other.
There have been many "residents" living in Deep Blue Film and Television City, most of whom are actors and their families from the mainland, who have been allocated housing and rented stores by the film and television city management committee, which has gradually made this film and television city lively.
"Let's go", An Yifei felt comfortable in his heart, "In the future, this place can be called Deep Blue City, at least it is not smaller than Hollywood in scale"
The area of Deep Blue City is really not small, and it is impossible for An Yifei to understand the role of all the buildings inside. Mercedes-Benz first drew an arc along the highway on the edge of the antique city, and then entered the modern neighborhood with the characteristics of different eras.
The first time to enter the street scene, a few people in the car are eye-catching, here is obviously a copy of the street scene near Mong Kok, the first few times because there is no one, there is no feeling, with a large number of mainland residents moving in, opening shops, here is not weaker than the original Mong Kok lively.
Due to the proximity to Hong Kong, and the general income in Deep Blue City is higher than that in other parts of the mainland, people here are dressed very fashionably, so An Yifei couldn't help but say: "Ah Feng, find a place to park, let's go eat milk tea here, and see if it's authentic."
This is different from Hong Kong, most people know An Yifei's identity, curious, and considering, but they will never be impolite to watch, so that the three of them feel very comfortable, all of them smiled and turned to clothing, department stores and other stores, the items in it are all synchronized with the Hong Kong market, although the price is higher, but the variety is complete.
"Brother Fei, you're right, there are too many people on the mainland, even if you enter a little bit, it will make Deep Blue Film and Television City prosperous, maybe it will really look like Mong Kok in the future", Chang Xiaoyuan forcibly suppressed the purchase desire in his heart, and couldn't help but admire.
Most of the people who are engaged in various industries here come from all over the mainland, and some extras will take over their families after they come in, so most of them have very good looks, and there are many eye-catching beauties.
Walking into a tea restaurant, the three of them could tell at a glance that the shopkeeper here was from Guangdong Province, and he had the unique appearance characteristics of this region and spoke fluent vernacular.
"Sir, what would you like to drink?" The man was about thirty years old, and occasionally a few children ran in and out of the house, apparently his children.
"Let's have a few cups of milk tea, how is the business?" , The tea restaurant is no different from the common one in Hong Kong, it can be said that if the three of them didn't know, they would have thought it was somewhere on Hong Kong Island.
The actual place where the tea was made was the man's wife, a very handsome woman, and the man was sitting at another table, "Sir, it's all good, the rent of the shops in the film and television city is not high, and with more and more people, of course the business is good." The most profitable ones are those who make clothing and electrical appliances, and many people in the city will receive phone calls or letters from relatives and friends in the mainland, asking them to buy fashionable clothes, advanced tape recorders and other electrical appliances."
All the buildings in Deep Blue City are An Yifei's assets, he doesn't plan to make much money by rent, and renting out some residences and shops is also to accumulate popularity, and the rent is very cheap. You must know that when you need to shoot street scenes, looking for extras is not as good as the people who actually live here, which is tantamount to saving in disguise.
After An Yifei took a sip of milk tea, she nodded and praised: "Well, it tastes good, your wife's craftsmanship is no worse than that in Hong Kong, and you can't make money if you want to."
After chatting with the owner of the tea restaurant for a while, the intuitive understanding made An Yifei more satisfied with the management of Deep Blue City. They purposefully absorb those outsiders around Deep Blue Film and Television City, and maintain good contact with relevant parties, carefully screening the qualifications of the people who enter, and eliminating the possibility of many unstable factors.
The film and television city and the electronics branch in the deep blue city have solved some employment problems in the mainland, especially in Guangdong Province, and with the emergence of many self-employed people, a small wholesale market has appeared at the junction, which has led a large number of people to become rich.
The first wave of southward movement has also brought many talents to Deep Blue Film and Television City and Electronics Branch, and now the resident population of Deep Blue City has exceeded 60,000 and has a gradual upward trend.
After leaving the imitation Hong Kong Island area, the Mercedes-Benz continued to drive towards the seaside, passing several blocks imitating other periods on the way, and finally arrived at a vivid "Xiao Shang Hi".
As soon as they entered the place, the three people in the car felt as if they had crossed over, and the signboard as the dividing line was painted with an advertising painting from the thirties and forties, but the product was Coca-Cola, which is still there today.
An Yifei knew that Coca-Cola liked the advertisement very much, and paid for it happily, and it was difficult for them to find such an original old version of the advertisement, but it was reproduced by the artists of the TV station in a photo.
This small town seems to be a little quiet, and most of the professional actors with cultural literacy who live in it have also taken their families to settle in after living for a while.
"Our car is too discordant, find a place to stop and go around", An Yifei did not participate in the design of the details, but now at a glance, I like it very much.
The gray buildings on both sides of the street, the trams on the road, and the advertising signs between the high-rise buildings almost perfectly replicate a certain street in the old Shanghi, going back in time and interpreting the past.
"Brother Fei, there is still an alley over there", Li Hanfeng fussed and pointed to an alley paved with bluestone slabs.
After the three of them walked in, they instantly grasped a certain feeling, the small buildings on both sides of the alley, lined up along the nine-bend and eighteen-bend path, An Yifei thought: "If there are two more sentences, the Shanghainese language of 'Nong Hao Valve', it is Lao Shanghi."
"Nong is good", this greeting made the three of them feel bright, because the other party's Shanghainese is very standard.
An Yifei and the three of them had already noticed that there were several eyes on the upstairs on the side of the road staring at them and the others, but they were not moved, because those eyes showed no malice, most of them were curiosity, admiration, etc.
After stopping, looking up, An Yifei was a little surprised, because the other party was too familiar, and the fluctuations in his eyes flashed.
"You're from the mainland, right? Come down and walk together? ”
"Okay, Mr. An, please wait a minute", the buildings on both sides of the alley are really antique, except for the frame, all wooden floors, and the sound of footsteps "knock, knock" shows the excitement in the woman's heart.
The standard melon seed face is slightly rounded, and the big eyes are like spring water, and the angular lips appear slightly thicker, but it makes this tall girl have a strong femininity.
An Yifei, who had already determined who she was, smiled and made a "please" gesture, "Let's go, from here is the Bund, right?" ”
Hearing An Yifei's standard Chinese, the girl smiled: "Yes, Mr. An, you have fulfilled your wish, the only regret is that you didn't really get hi here, so the little girl couldn't help but make a joke, please don't care"
While several people continued to walk, An Yifei observed the woman beside her, a faint smell mixed with fragrance came from her body, and her eyes were bright, indicating that she was a clever person, and when she saw her regretful mood at that time, she suddenly greeted her in pure Shanghainese.
"Your Chinese is also mixed with a strong Shanghai flavor, it seems that you are really a hi person? Oh, may I ask Fang Ming", as her status became higher and higher, coupled with her tall figure, An Yifei had a momentum, which made the girl's heartbeat speed up a little.
"My name is Lizhi, Mr. Ann, and I'm honored to have your invitation," the woman smiled rather innocently, showing her teeth neatly, not as much as she did after she became famous...... Well, mature, but also quite feminine.
"Heh", An Yifei smiled secretly, thinking: "It's really you, no wonder you're so smart"
Chang Xiaoyuan and Li Hanfeng, who followed behind the two, also knew that although the surname "Li" was small, it had already existed as early as the Zhou Dynasty, but they secretly envied the name "Lizhi", which sounded like "lychee", and the tall figure and mellow appearance of the woman in front of her seemed to be made with water, which was very suitable for this name.
Along the way, An Yifei kept asking about the situation of this Lizhi, and gradually came to the Bund in a smaller version.
In order to build this Bund, An Yifei spent a lot of money to come in, and the so-called reduction does not refer to the volume of the building, but to reduce the length of the street, but to imitate the original essence of the land.
The wide coastal road is lined with beautiful buildings, and this is really the financial center of Deep Blue City, where a number of Hong Kong Island banks have settled in, and the management agency of the film and television city is also here.
On the opposite side of the "Bund" is the imitation of Hong Kong's urban area, which is built along the highway and connects these modern neighborhoods, and when filming locations, standing on the opposite shore of this semicircular bay, you can easily take pictures of the scenery of the Bund; On the other hand, after a little post-processing, the "Bund" side can also become the background for shooting Hong Kong street scenes.
After nodding to the members of the management committee who were stopped by Chang Xiaoyuan and Li Hanfeng and planned to come together, An Yifei and Li Zhi walked to the railing of the seaside and looked at the "Hong Kong" on the opposite side
"So, your father came to Hong Kong very early in paddling?" In this era, An Yifei has seen too many characters who grew up in the "sheep" style, such as: Wen Bixia, Li Lizhen, etc., and now she has added the Lizhi in front of herd.
"Yes, I came here to find an opportunity to go over to him. I wanted to study in an art school in the mainland, but I didn't have any money, so I came here to try my luck. I didn't expect that there were a lot of scenes to shoot here, and I could learn things that I might not be able to learn in college, so I stayed at ease."
After glancing at the managers in the distance, An Yifei turned his head to stare at Lizhi's eyes, "That's okay, follow me in the future, beauty"
