Chapter 107 Small Town
In the distance, the tall antique city wall surrounds the side of the film and television city facing Hong Kong with an irregular half-arc, and then extends the line of sight to see that there are countless antique buildings inside, just like an ancient city.Further on, there is a modern city, with high-rise buildings built on the ground.

Many "residents" have successively moved into the Deep Blue Film and Television City, most of them are actors and their families from the mainland. become lively.

"Let's go", An Yifei felt relieved, "From now on, this place can be called Deep Blue City, at least the scale is not smaller than Hollywood"

The area of ​​Deep Blue City is really not small, it is impossible for An Yifei to understand the functions of all the buildings inside.Mercedes-Benz business first draws an arc along the highway on the edge of the ancient city, and then enters the modern neighborhood with different characteristics of the times.

The street view that I entered first made the eyes of the few people in the car bright. This place obviously copied the street view near Mong Kok. In the past few times, there were no people and I didn’t feel much. With the large number of mainland residents moving in and opening stores, there has been a lot here. Weaker than the excitement of the original Mong Kok.

Due to the proximity to Hong Kong, and the general income in Deep Blue City is higher than other places in the mainland, the people here are dressed very fashionable, so An Yifei couldn't help but say: "Ah Feng, find a place to park, let's go eat here." The milk tea next to it, look authentic.”

This place is different from Hong Kong. Most people know An Yifei’s identity. They are curious and scrutinized, but they will never look around impolitely. This makes the three of them feel very comfortable. They all walk around the clothing, department stores, etc. The items in the shop are all synchronized with those in the Hong Kong market. Although the price is a bit higher, the variety is complete.

"Brother Fei, you are right. There are too many people on the mainland. Even if you enter a little bit, it will make Shenlan Film and Television City more prosperous. Maybe it will be like Mong Kok in the future." Chang Xiao Yuan forcibly suppressed the purchase desire in his heart, and couldn't help admiring.

Most of the people who are engaged in various industries here come from all over the mainland. Some extras brought their family members over after they came in, so most of them have good looks, and there are many beauties who are eye-catching.

Walking into a tea restaurant, the three of them could tell at a glance that the shopkeeper was from Guangdong Province. He had the unique appearance of this region and spoke fluent vernacular.

"Sir, what would you like to drink?" The man was about 30 years old, and occasionally a few children ran in and out of the house, which seemed to be his children.

"Let's have a few cups of milk tea, how is the business?" The tea restaurant is no different from the common ones in Hong Kong. It can be said that if the three of them didn't know about it, they would think it was somewhere on Hong Kong Island.

The man's wife, a pretty woman, actually made the tea, and the man was sitting at another table, "Sir, it's all good, the rent of the film and television city shop is not high. There are more and more people, and the business is of course good. The most profitable are those who make clothing and electrical appliances. Many people in the city will receive calls or letters from relatives and friends in the mainland asking them to buy fashionable clothes and advanced tape recorders. Wait for the appliances"

All the buildings in Deep Blue City are An Yifei's assets. He didn't plan to earn much money from the rent. He rented out some houses and shops to gain popularity, and the rent was very cheap.You should know that when you need to shoot street scenes, finding extras is not as good as the people who actually live here, which is tantamount to saving in disguise.

After taking a sip of the milk tea, An Yifei nodded and praised: "Well, it's delicious, your wife's craftsmanship is no worse than that of Hong Kong, and you can't make money if you want to."

After chatting with the owner of the tea restaurant for a while, An Yifei's intuitive understanding made An Yifei quite satisfied with the management of Deep Blue City.They are purposefully absorbing the outsiders around the Deep Blue Film and Television City, and maintaining good contact with relevant parties, carefully screening the qualifications of the entering personnel, and eliminating the possibility of many unstable factors.

The film and television city and the electronics branch factory in Shenlan City have solved some employment problems in the mainland, especially in Guangdong Province. With the emergence of many self-employed people, a small wholesale market has appeared at the junction, which has driven a large number of people to become rich. .

The first wave of going south also brought many talents to the Deep Blue Film and Television City and the Electronics Branch Factory. Today, the permanent population of Deep Blue City has exceeded 6, and there is a gradual upward trend.

After leaving the area imitating Hong Kong Island, the Mercedes-Benz continued to drive towards the seaside, passing several blocks imitating other periods on the road, and finally arrived at a lifelike "Xiaoshanghai".

As soon as they entered here, the three people in the car felt as if they had traveled through time. The signboard as the dividing line was painted on the ground as an advertisement in the 40s, and the product was Coca-Cola that still exists today.

An Yifei knew that Coca-Cola liked the advertisement very much, and paid the money readily. 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 front of a photo. .

This small town seemed a bit quiet, and most of the culturally educated professional actors who lived here took their family members over to settle down after living for a period of time.

"Our car is too inconsistent. Find a place to stop and go around." An Yifei did not participate in the design of the details, and now he looks at it at a glance, and he likes 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 Old Shanghe, rewinding time and interpreting the past.

"Brother Fei, there is an alley over there." Li Hanfeng pointed to an alley paved with bluestone slabs in a fuss.

After the three of them walked in, they immediately grasped a certain feeling. The small buildings on both sides of the alley were lined up along the path with nine bends and eighteen bends. Shanghai dialect, that is Laoshang Hei"

"Nong Hao", this greeting made the three of them feel bright, because the Shanghai dialect of the other party is very standard.

The three of An Yifei had already noticed that there were several eyes watching him and the others from the upstairs on the side of the road, but they were not moved, because those eyes showed no malice, most of them were curiosity and admiration.

After stopping, looking up, An Yifei was a little surprised, because the other party was so familiar, the fluctuation in his eyes flashed away.

"Are you from the mainland? Come down and walk together?"

"Okay, Mr. An, please wait a moment." The buildings on both sides of the alley are really antique. Except for the frame, they are all wooden floors. The sound of "dong, dong" footsteps shows the excitement in the woman's heart.

The standard oval face is slightly rounded, the big eyes are full of spring water, and the angular lips are slightly thicker, but it gives this tall girl a strong femininity.

An Yifei, who had already confirmed who she was, smiled and made a "please" gesture, "Let's go, the Bund is from here, right?"

Hearing the standard mandarin spoken by An Yifei, the girl smiled: "Yes, Mr. An, you have realized your wish. The only regret is that there is no real high-ranking person here, so the little girl couldn't help but open her mouth." It's a joke, please don't take it seriously"

As they continued to walk, An Yifei observed the woman beside her. There was a faint heat mixed with fragrance coming from her body, and her eyes were bright, which showed that she was a person with a clever mind. Feeling regretful, he abruptly greeted him in that pure Shanghai dialect.

"Your mandarin is also mixed with a strong flavor of Shanghai. It seems that you are really a high-ranking person? Oh, may I ask for your name?" With the increasing status and tall figure, An Yifei has a certain personality. The momentum made the girl's heart beat faster.

"My name is Lizhi, Mr. An. It's a great honor to be invited by you." The woman smiled purely, showing her neat teeth. She was not as famous as she was later...well, mature, but also quite feminine.

"Oh", An Yifei smiled secretly, thinking: "It's really you, no wonder you are so smart"

Chang Xiaoyuan and Li Hanfeng, who followed behind the two, also knew that although the surname "Li" was rare, it existed as early as the Zhou Dynasty, but they secretly envied the nice name "Lizhi", which sounded like "Lichi" , and the tall and round figure of the woman in front seems to be made of water, which is very suitable for this name.

Along the way, An Yifei kept asking about Li Zhi's situation, and gradually came to the miniature version of the Bund.

In order to build this Bund, An Yifei spent a lot of money in. The so-called reduction does not refer to the volume of the building, but refers to the reduction of the length of the street, just imitating the essence of the original version.

There are rows of beautiful buildings along the wide coastal road. This place is really the financial center of Deep Blue City. Many Hong Kong Island banks have already settled here, and the film and television city management agency is also here.

Opposite the "Bund" is the imitated Hong Kong urban area. Highways are built along the coast to connect these modern blocks together. When filming, standing on the other side of the semi-circular bay can easily take pictures of the scenery of the Bund; , After a little processing in post-production, the "Bund" side can also become the background when shooting Hong Kong street scenes.

After nodding to the members of the management committee who were stopped by Chang Xiaoyuan and Li Hanfeng and who were about to join in, An Yifei and Lizhi walked to the railing near the sea and looked at the opposite "Hong Kong"

"So, your father paddled to Hong Kong very early?" In this era, An Yifei has seen too many people who grew up in the "sheep herding" style, such as: Wen Bixia, Li Lizhen, etc., and now Added the Lizhi in front of me.

"Yes, I came here just to find an opportunity to join him. I wanted to go to an art school in the mainland, but I had no money, so I came here to try my luck. I didn't expect that there are many scenes here that can be filmed, and maybe I can learn. I can’t learn things even in the academy, so I just stayed here with peace of mind.”

First glanced at the managers in the distance, An Yifei then turned to stare into Lizhi's eyes, "Alright then, follow me from now on, beauty"
