The task of inviting Lin Jingliang as art director has been successfully completed. After lunch, Xiao Yao said goodbye to Lin Jingliang and his wife.
Yang Shiyun came to his uncle''s house today when he had nothing to do. Unexpectedly, he met Xiao Yao and accepted the task of entertaining Xiao Yao. When Xiao Yao left, Yang Shiyun certainly went with him. Yang Shiyun came by car today. When they went together, they could take Xiao Yao down the mountain, avoiding the trouble of Xiao Yao calling for a car or asking Lin Jingliang to send him off.
After saying goodbye to his uncle and aunt, Yang Shiyun entered the role of tour guide when he set out to go down the mountain. He asked Xiao Yao about his itinerary and happily recommended several places to Xiao Yao.
Xiao Yao scoffed at Yang Shiyun''s suggestions of worshiping Buddha on Lantau Island, eating seafood on Lamma Island and visiting Disney.
Although he came through, Xiao Yao didn''t believe in ghosts at all. If you really want to worship Buddha, the famous mountains and rivers on the mainland are much more famous than Lantau on Hong Kong Island. It''s only at this time that a fool goes to climb in the sun. As for seafood, Xiao Yao is not interested in it. Xiao Yao has eaten a lot of seafood that meets the taste of the north, so there is no need to come to the south to eat seafood. Disney? In his previous life, Xiao Yao was very interested, but in this life, he even visited foreign Disneyland. The newly built one around Shencheng is not rare, and Xiao Yao is not very interested in the one on Hong Kong Island.
However, there are still many places Xiao Yao wants to go when he comes to Hong Kong Island this time. Influenced by the Hong Kong films and dramas of the last century, many places on Hong Kong Island are very famous among the Mainlanders, such as central, Temple Street, Causeway Bay, Wan Chai, Lan Kwai Fong and so on.
The last time Xiao Yao came to Hong Kong, he followed Chen Xuan several years ago. At that time, Xiao Yao was still under age, and he didn''t dare to run around alone. Chen Xuan was a teacher, not a nanny. He didn''t want to take Xiao Yao for a stroll, so he didn''t go to many places. After completing his mission to Hong Kong Island this time, Xiao Yao really plans to have a good stroll.
The mid level villa area where Lin Jingliang lives is located between the top of Taiping mountain and central. After going down the mountain, there is central. Wan Chai is to the east of central, and then Kowloon is to the north through Hung Hom tunnel. Lan Kwai Fong is in central, Causeway Bay is in Wan Chai, and Temple Street is in Kowloon. It''s not too far away.
But most of these places are interesting to visit at night. Shortly after noon, when it was still early, Xiao Yao looked at the map on his mobile phone and asked Yang Shiyun to take him to Stanley, the southernmost part of Hong Kong Island, to see the fort.
Yang Shiyun''s task is to be Xiao Yao''s Guide. Xiao Yao is going to see the historical buildings in Stanley. She doesn''t feel anything wrong. She takes Xiao Yao with her as soon as the steering wheel turns.
Yang Shiyun once went to the UK to study for several years, only after graduating from high school. In her heart, she should be a native of Hong Kong. After arriving at Stanley and taking Xiao Yao to the fort, Yang Shiyun wants to give full play to Xiao Yao and tell her about the history of the fort. However, she did not expect that Xiao Yao, a Yanjing native, could tell more about the history of the fort than she, a Hong Kong native. She felt a deep sense of frustration as a tour guide.
Until later, I remembered that last year, I heard teacher Li Yu say that Xiao Yao was a famous genius Xueba in the mainland. He was the number one in the art examination of a film and Television University. He not only won the number one in the college entrance examination of Yanjing City, but also won the champion of an ancient poetry competition program. After that, he felt a little better.
Stanley is located at the southernmost end of Hong Kong Island. It''s not too early to come back from a visit to Stanley. When it was time for dinner, Yang Shiyun asked Xiao Yao to go to a very famous restaurant on Hong Kong Island. As soon as Xiao Yao heard that Yang Shiyun''s restaurant was a star rated restaurant certified by Michelin in central, he immediately shook his head and asked Yang Shiyun to drive through the honghom tunnel and go directly to the Temple Street in Yau Ma Tei, Kowloon for snacks.
Temple Street is a very distinctive Street on Hong Kong Island, and it is also the most famous night market on Hong Kong Island. When they arrived, night had just come, and it was the busy time for the opening of the night market.
In Temple Street, Xiao Yao did not show off his knowledge and told Yang Shiyun, a Hong Kong native, about the history of Temple Street. Because along the way, when Xiao Yao saw the special food on the roadside, his fingers moved and his mouth didn''t stop, so he didn''t have the time to show her any historical knowledge.
Although Xiao Yao didn''t tell her about history, Yang Shiyun, who brought Xiao Yao to Temple Street, still felt shocked.
As a popular music star and a box office director with billions of dollars, Yang Shiyun doubts whether Xiao Yao, a mainland star, can adapt to the chaotic environment of Temple Street. I didn''t expect that Xiao Yao not only didn''t have any aversion to the snacks on the roadside stalls, but also ate more happily than she, a Hong Kong native. She could even bargain with the roadside vendors with fluent Cantonese.
Yang Shiyun knows that Xiao Yao has written Cantonese songs and that Xiao Yao can speak Cantonese, but watching Xiao Yao squat on the roadside to bargain with vendors in Cantonese for dozens of things completely subverts Xiao Yao''s image in her heart.
Even if you don''t have to do things like shopping and bargaining, Yang Shiyun, as a tour guide, is surprised and feels a deep sense of frustration. She just wants to pull Xiao Yao away from the busy place where she feels lost.
I don''t know whether it''s Yang Shiyun''s luck or Xiao Yao''s misfortune. Xiao Yao didn''t finish a whole temple street this time. Xiao Yao and Yang Shiyun entered from Zhongfang street at the south end of Temple Street. Halfway through, they found that there were a lot of people in front of them, blocking the road and they couldn''t get through. As one of the most distinctive streets on Hong Kong Island, many movies on Hong Kong Island will be shot in Temple Street. Seeing some hanging arms raised in the air, Xiao Yao knew without asking that it was the crew shooting in this street.In the 1980s and 1990s, Hong Kong Island''s films and dramas were brilliant. However, after entering the new century, Hong Kong films began to decline. The series lasted for more than ten years, and its influence in the mainland is not as good as before. At present, talented and famous film and television talents from Hong Kong Island are going north to seek development in the mainland. Local films and dramas can be regarded as struggling.
Xiao Yao inquired about it and found that the production group was a local production group on Hong Kong Island, not even a film production group, but a TV production group of a wireless station. He had never heard of it from the director to the leading role, and Xiao Yao had no interest in watching.
Because of filming, almost half of the street was temporarily closed, so Xiao Yao didn''t have to go shopping.
Noticing that Yang Shiyun doesn''t seem to like to eat roadside stalls, Xiao Yao asked Yang Shiyun to find a clean tea restaurant when he was shopping just now. After a serious dinner, they left temple street.
Temple Street is located in Yau Ma Tei. Yau Ma Tei, together with Mong Kok and Tsim Sha Tsui, constitutes the most prosperous and famous Yau Tsim Mong area in Kowloon. It is also a name that has appeared countless times in Hong Kong movies and is deeply imprinted in Xiao Yao''s mind. Now that I''m here, I''m going to have a look.
Yau Ma Tei has a long history and is more local than Mong Kok. The people here, to a large extent, maintain the traditional way of life on Hong Kong Island, and they are the places to explore the old life on Hong Kong Island. The temple street where Xiao Yao and Yang Shiyun stroll is in Yau Ma Tei. After dinner, they go out for a walk in Yau Ma Tei. It''s not only to eat, but also to feel the traditional lifestyle and old life of Hong Kong people. As for Mong Kok and Tsim Sha Tsui, that is to drive around, which is what people on Hong Kong Island call "the river of pleasure rides".
The route of "Youche River" starts from Yau Ma Tei. After a tour of "Yau Tsim Mong", it goes back to Hong Kong Island through the tunnel, then to Causeway Bay and Wan Chai old district. All the way from west to East, it goes all the way to central.
Yau Tsim Mong, Causeway Bay, Wan Chai and central are all prosperous commercial districts. In Xiao Yao''s view, these places are prosperous, but compared with the emerging CBD in the first tier cities such as Yan, Shen, Yang and Shen, they seem to be just like that. Xiao Yao is certainly not interested in shopping, so Xiao Yao let Yang Shiyun drive around most of the time, just have a look in the car, rarely get off the car and walk.
The whole evening, Xiao Yao get off to walk around the place is very limited. In Kowloon, Xiao Yao only walks around Temple Street for dinner and other old streets in Yau Ma Tei near Temple Street for walking and eating. After crossing Hong Kong Island, Xiao Yao got off the bus and walked around only two places. One is Lee Tung Street in Wan Chai District, and the last one is Lan Kwai Fong in central.
Lee Tung Street, commonly known as wedding street and printing street, is a famous printing production and sales center on Hong Kong Island. Xiao Yao knew this place not because he heard it from Hong Kong movies or dramas, but because of a Cantonese song by former Hong Kong Island singer Xie Anqi. There is no Angela Xie in this world, and there is no that song. However, Xiao Yao checked it and found that there is such a street on Hong Kong Island in this world. Even its name and common name are the same, so he naturally wanted to have a look.
Walking on Lidong street, Xiao Yao is no longer a teacher of popularizing knowledge, but a diligent student, constantly asking Yang Shiyun about the story of the street.
As in previous lives, this street has a long history and has undergone reconstruction. It has a different meaning among people on Hong Kong Island. Naturally, it has a story. This street carries the feelings of many Hong Kong people, including Yang Shiyun, who is next to Xiao Yao. When Yang''s parents got married, wedding cards and other printed materials were made in the shops on this street.
When Xiao Yao asked about this street, Yang Shiyun really had a lot to introduce to Xiao Yao. Until this time, Yang Shiyun finally felt like a tour guide. He not only told the history of the street, but also told a lot of stories about his parents'' custom-made wedding invitation cards on the street. He spoke all the way in front of Xiao Yao.
After visiting Lidong street, it''s already more than ten o''clock in the evening. It seems a bit late, but it''s not too late for Hong Kong Island, a city rich in nightlife. This time is also the golden time for Xiao Yao to go to the last stop.
Xiao Yao''s last stop is Lan Guifang in central.
Lan Kwai Fong is a medium and high-end consumption area with many bars and restaurants, which is composed of several streets in central. It is almost equivalent to a bar street in many inland cities. However, with the popularity of Hong Kong films and dramas in the last century, this place is very famous. It is not only welcomed by the local young generation and foreigners on Hong Kong Island, but also a place for tourists to visit. It has become a characteristic tourist attraction on Hong Kong Island.
Generally speaking, as long as it is a place with a large number of tourists, it will not give Xiao Yao too many surprises. However, Hong Kong Island is slightly better than the mainland. It''s not the peak season for tourism. It''s also a place where bars gather. It''s a cultural attraction. Unlike natural attractions, which are crowded with people, it''s still accessible.
After a long afternoon and a half nights, Xiao Yao didn''t want to go to those famous bars and clubs, so he asked Yang Shiyun to choose a bar with more characteristics and a little fewer people, mainly local people. Only in this way can he really feel the charm of LAN Guifang.Yang Shiyun chose a bar called Cora. This is a clean bar. The place is not big. There is no disco music and hot dancing girls. It is mainly light music. There is a small stage in the bar with live performances by bands. After taking Xiao Yao in, Xiao Yao nodded his satisfaction.
Xiao Yao has been to many bars. Although this bar has its own characteristics, it doesn''t surprise Xiao Yao. Xiao Yao is ready to sit down and have a drink, listen to music and relax. Xiao Yao was very satisfied with the good environment and no noise.
When they were drinking and resting, there was a band on the stage of the bar. Xiao Yao did not drink and chat with Yang Shiyun, but also distracted and listened. After listening to the performances of two bands and a singer for almost half an hour, Xiao Yao couldn''t help shaking his head.
Lan Kwai Fong is very famous. Even if this bar is not the best one in Lan Kwai Fong, it should be very good to open here. But Xiao Yao feels that the resident singers here are not as good as the one he met in a bar he found in Xi''an a few years ago. Although the band that was said to sign a record company didn''t seem to be able to catch fire, at least from the level of live performance, the band that didn''t remember its name could definitely hang up the resident singers in this bar.
Xiao Yao suddenly feels that in addition to the risk of talent cut-off in film and television, it seems that music talents on Hong Kong Island are also in danger of losing their jobs!
With such emotion, Xiao Yao unconsciously shook his head in his heart.
Yang Shiyun is also a singer. She also thinks that the level of resident singers in the bar is not flattering. Seeing that Xiao Yao shook his head, he encouraged Xiao Yao and said, "senior, do you think they can''t sing well? Why don''t you go up and show off? "
"Me?" Xiao Yao pointed to his nose with a smile.
"What''s the matter?" Yang Shiyun said, "don''t you know Cantonese? Also can Cantonese song! I know you used to sing in the bar secretly. There are videos on the Internet. I''ve seen them! "
"No interest!" Xiao Yao shook his head with a smile, stood up and said, "I''ve been playing all day. I''m tired. Let''s go!"
"Oh Yang Shiyun is not reluctant to follow Xiao Yao to get up and leave.
"Senior, the car is over there!" After going out, Yang Shiyun sees that Xiao Yaozhuan''s direction is wrong and reminds him quickly.
"Yes, there''s one place I haven''t gone yet!" Xiao Yao turned back and said with a smile.
"Where else?" Yang Shiyun can only follow Xiao Yao.
"Found it," Xiao Yao walked to the beginning of a slope, patted a red metal railing in the middle of the road, and turned to Yang Shiyun behind him, "OK, we can go back! You can also go to the parking place from here, right
"What are you doing?" Yang Shiyun looked at Xiao Yao and asked tentatively, "just to shoot this railing?"
"Well!" Xiao Yao nodded, "when I was a child, I used to watch Hong Kong movies and dramas. It seemed that as long as Lan Kwai Fong appeared, this railing would appear. At that time, I made a wish in my heart that I would come to LAN Guifang and spit on the railing! In my heart, the bar to Lan Kwai Fong is not the bar to Lan Kwai Fong, this bar is the sign of Lan Kwai Fong. I don''t want to drink and vomit today. If I take a picture of this railing, I''ll finish my wish! "
