A taxi stopped on the side of the road, and the driver turned back to Ye Zimei and said, "Miss, No. 4 Repulse Bay Road is okay!" ”

Ye Zimei handed the driver two pieces of 10 yuan Hong Kong paper, she is also a star now, and said very generously: "No need to look for it." ”

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

Although Ye Zimei's exposure increased greatly some time ago, as long as "Love Saint" is not released, she is just a third-rate actor, and few people know her when she walks on the street.

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

The taxi driver glanced enviously at the fence of the mansion in the distance, spit out a mouthful of phlegm from the car window, and stared at Ye Zimei's buttocks in the distance and said disdainfully: "Cut, I also visited a friend, and at first glance it was the second wife who was covered by a rich man." Slut! With such big tits, I don't know which bastard is cheaper! ”

Ye Zimei didn't know that she was despised, she looked for the doorbell outside the gate of the villa for a long time, and finally saw a phone later, and tried to take off the phone and press it a few times.

"Hey, hello." The sudden voice on the phone startled Ye Zimei.

"You...... Hello, I'm Ye Zimei from the crew of "Love Saint", ...... "Ye Zimei is a little unsure if she came to the wrong place.

"Miss Ye, wait a minute......" The other end of the phone hung up after speaking.

More than half a minute later, the big iron door 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 only came in the afternoon, but I didn't expect you to arrive early, Miss Ye." ”

Ye Zimei said embarrassedly: "It's because I came early, and I didn't shoot in the morning." That's why I thought about coming early. ”

The main filming location of the movie "Love Saint" is in a large mansion, and 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, it is far away from Repulse Bay, and it is very inconvenient to come by car every day. So for the next half a month, Wu Yusen, Li Lizhi, Zhou Xingchi, Mao Xianyun, Huang Shrimp, Miao Kexiu, Ye Zimei and other main creators all lived in Kang Jianfei's villa.

This kind of thing is very common, for example, in the past, Zhong Chuhong followed Xu Anhua to film, and he used to sleep in the mountains for several nights, and the crew didn't even prepare a tent at that time.

"Miss Ye, please come with me." The shriveled old man walked ahead and led the way.

"Thank you." Ye Zimei dragged her luggage in with the old man, and asked politely, "What is the old man's surname?" ”

The old man said: "My surname is Jin, Miss Ye can call me Lao Jin." Thanks to Mr. Kang for giving me a bowl of rice, my wife and I can watch the house here. Miss Ye can usually find me if she has anything, and she can also find my wife. She has to go out every day to buy groceries. Miss Ye has something to buy. You can also ask my wife to bring it back for you. ”

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

Lao Jin smiled and waved his hand: "Don't call me Butler Jin, Mr. Kang rarely lives here." I'm just going to show him around the house. ”

Ye Zimei thought to herself: It's good to have money, such a big house can also be bought and empty, and someone is hired to guard it.

Lao Jin took Ye Zimei around a small road, and his vision suddenly widened. Ye Zimei raised her eyes and suddenly gasped.

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

But the big house in Ye Zimei's dream is just a high-end apartment with an area of 3,000 square feet (about 300 square meters), and she hasn't even thought about the Repulse Bay mansion in front of her.

Looking at the pool, gardens, lawns, sculptures in the distance...... Ye Zimei is like being in a movie fairy tale.

It would be nice if she could live here for the rest of her life, Ye Zimei thought to herself, but unfortunately she could only live here for half a month, and most of the time had to be used for filming.

When Kang Jianfei bought this house, it was when the rumors of the Sino-British war spread most violently, and at that time, the stocks of major groups fell sharply, and those bosses whose net worth had seriously shrunk were looking for money everywhere to fill in the holes, and there were really few rich people in Hong Kong who had spare money to buy houses everywhere. After all, it takes several years to buy a house and wait for appreciation, and once the company's capital chain is broken, it will be over, so many people are selling real estate for cash, so that Kang Jianfei only used 3 million Hong Kong dollars to buy this mansion.

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

Such a beautiful environment naturally makes the wealthy people in Hong Kong flock to this place, so it once set off a trend of buying luxury houses in Repulse Bay. But the real residence of the rich is still on the side of Taiping Mountain, and the houses in Repulse Bay are at most holiday villas in their leisure time. The No. 4 Repulse Bay Road purchased by Kang Jianfei was built at that time, and it cost more than 2 million yuan to buy the land and the cost (2 million yuan at that time is equivalent to more than 20 million yuan now).

However, in the past 20 years, the prosperity of Hong Kong's industry and the increase in 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 of E. coli. This situation has led to a sharp decline in the interest of Hong Kong's top rich in Repulse Bay, and the price of Repulse Bay villas has also fallen, but in recent years, the small rich people who have made a fortune are very interested in this side, and have built some new villas, and now the villas in Repulse Bay have been repaired to more than 40.

It wasn't until the 90s, due to the Hong Kong government's vigorous renovation, that the environment of Repulse Bay gradually improved, and Repulse Bay Beach was also rated as a "good" beach by the Environmental Protection Department, and the houses in Repulse Bay were sold like crazy again.

For example, Kang Jianfei's No. 4 mansion in Repulse Bay bought at a low price of 3 million yuan was quoted at 1 billion Hong Kong dollars in 2010. Even now, although Hong Kong's real estate industry is still sluggish, the economy has recovered a lot since the Hong Kong government fixed the exchange rate of the Hong Kong dollar against the US dollar, and the Hang Seng Index has risen to about 900 points again (more than half of the 2,000 points three years ago), but the house price of villas at No. 4 Repulse Bay Road has also risen to 6 million, doubling in less than two years.

Once the Sino-British negotiations are concluded and Hong Kong's economy fully recovers, the price of Repulse Bay Villa 4 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 negotiations will be negotiated, and even Kang Jianfei does not know the exact time, but it is estimated that it will be about the next two years.

For the vast majority of people in Hong Kong, the end of the Sino-British negotiations is still far away, and some pessimists even believe that the two countries cannot negotiate at all, and they will definitely hit the deadline of 97 years.

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, who has just debuted, the nature is actually 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 decoration and furnishings 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 that the crystal in the pool was crystal clear, and there was an urge to take off her clothes and jump down.

"Miss Ye, your room has been cleaned up, please come with me." Old Kim's wife came down from the upper floor, followed by a young Filipino maid.

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

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

Ye Zimei closed her eyes and enjoyed the comfortable feeling, and it didn't take long for her to fall asleep, and she didn't wake up until the Filipino maid called her for lunch.

Before the meal was finished, suddenly there was a commotion outside, Ye Zimei put down the bowl and got up to look, just in time to see Kang Jianfei coming in with a large number of crew members such as Zhou Xingchi and Mao Xianyun.

"Wow, this house is so big!" Mao Xianyun looked around 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 Zimei.

As a newcomer who has just debuted, Ye Zimei is full of infinite longing for her future, while Miao Kexiu is a passable mentality at this time, and she does not have too many thoughts of hard work.

When Miao Kexiu was at the height of her acting career, her brother, friend and partner Bruce Lee died suddenly, which made Miao Kexiu leave Taiwan to avoid public opinion. But her career development in Taiwan has not improved, but has fallen into greater criticism, because she has been in love with her married husband Ke Junxiong for many years - that is, Miao Kexiu returned to Hong Kong with the infamy of the mistress.

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

By the time everyone packed their luggage, Ye Zimei had already finished lunch, and after resting for a while, she was ready to start shooting.

In the afternoon, there was only the scene of Zhou Xingchi, Mao Xianyun and Huang Shrimp, and Ye Zimei and Miao Kexiu only sat on the side to watch, and by the way, they were familiar with the script.

"Click, this one is great!" Three hours later, Kang Jianfei stood up from behind the camera and said, "Let's take a rest and wait until it gets dark before we start work." (To be continued......)
