The cosmic reality show "Brilliant Empire: New York" is here.
The protagonists of this story are a group of wealthy, mature, and interesting Asian-Americans from New York City. In New York, the quality of real estate is measured by address, not area. Buying 30 Rolls-Royces in one go, using the world's largest amethyst as a daily accessory, leaving the maid life unable to take care of itself... These Asians, with their power to wave "gold", once again redefined the word "rich". However, in addition to having money, they also eat human fireworks, releasing unexpected human touches.
Today, I will take you to see how powerful this Netflix opening masterpiece is.
The first pair of protagonists is a billionaire from Hong Kong: Stephen Hung and his Mexican wife, Deborah.
We all know that rich people have money, but money has to be spent to make sense, and Stephen is an extremely happy rich man who is very happy to spend money. Although the image of each appearance tends to be "20th century", the purchasing power and vision far exceed that of "21st century". He once bought 30 Rolls-Royce Phantoms in one go due to business needs, and the CEO personally delivered them to his door, setting a record for the largest order in Rolls-Royce history.
The girls may have no idea, the unit price of the phantom is about 9 million yuan, so Hong Yongshi invested nearly 300 million yuan in it at one time. According to the "global house price ceiling" New York Manhattan house price of 400,000 \ flat conversion, this number can win at least 15 single apartments!
However, Hong Yongshi did not devote all his crazy actions to himself, but mostly to his fourth wife Deborah.
Deborah opens with a Zuhair Murad appearance, but this female star has to walk through the back door to borrow a couture to walk the red carpet, which is indeed Deborah's daily "loungewear".
We all know that show couture is a fixed bridge of showing off wealth reality shows, but Hong Yongshi makes this behavior less "conventional". Since it is haute couture, it has to be displayed on a high-altitude private jet.
By the way, the designer himself Stéphane Rolland was invited as an audience, and while achieving the brand's first high-altitude show, he personally dressed his wife Deborah with the world's largest amethyst.
Most of the time, priceless haute couture is just casual wear in Deborah's eyes. When she was unsure about which one to buy, her husband calmly said, "It's better to buy it together and then decide."
Mr. Hong's magical behavior of spoiling his wife goes far beyond that. To surprise his wife's tenth wedding anniversary, he blindfolded Deborah and took her to the flagship store of Graff, Britain's top jewelry.
The regional director waited early in the store, but what Deborah didn't know was that her husband had prepared a bunch of jewelry for her as a gift.
Although he was accustomed to her husband's act of giving haute couture and high pearls, when Deborah, who had "seen the world", took off his blindfold, he was shocked by the sight in front of him and cried with joy...
The most powerful of these is a necklace set with 25 carats of Colombian jadeite ▼
It seems to be just luxury, and according to Stephen himself, it is worth more than 3 Las Royces. But he obviously did not care about this "billion" point of money, but said that buying gifts for his wife was the most comfortable way for him to live. Jewelry has no price, and for him, these jewels may not have monetary value, but symbols of love and care.
When the wife wore a ring she described as "bigger than her own head" and a custom bracelet of 90-carat fancy color diamonds, it was obvious that the couple showed true love for each other, piled up with money, and thought that it was all because love felt so reasonable.
It stands to reason that living in a pile of gifts every day is a dream for many women, but Deborah is quite "distressed" by this. ▼
Well, hopefully she won't lose interest in life because she's forced to accept gifts every day.
Fans may know that the production team of "Brilliant Empire" is the original cast of "Walking with Kardashian", so the plot must be indispensable for horse catching and "accidents". "China's department store king" Golden Eagle Group Qianjin Dorothy Wang (Wang Xuanlin) is this accident.
As a typical rich second generation, her family's shopping malls, hotels and real estate have been driven all the way to all corners of the United States, and everything has been settled by her parents since childhood, and there are servants waiting for every minute of life. Participating in "Brilliant Empire" for her is to stage "Metamorphosis", others go to New York is "entering the city", and she is "experiencing life".
Moving from the comfort of Beverly Hills to crowded New York was extremely "unaccustomed", and she was unable to walk without the housekeeper, maid and driver. Even taking a taxi is a new life experience, and even closing the door is not so good.
However, this sister's style of acting is not delicate at all, and she will open and tear without a word, without a little detour. Being invited to Hong Yongshi's party not only arrived two hours late, but also complained about the inconvenience of the venue.
He also openly judged the Hong couple's "door picking", without caring about the identity of the other party's top rich.
Perhaps because of the incompatibility of the aura, Dorothy has never given the Hong couple affection, thinking that the couple acted too much, and Rolls-Royce may have been rented to participate in reality shows.
Is it that as long as there is money, the field can be smashed at will?
Although it is impolite, this kind of self-directed and self-expressing personality is also quite real. She has never deliberately catered to any power, even in the face of D&G, the top luxury brand that has openly insulted China, she dares to speak out domineeringly: True. Tasteful noblewomen do not buy this brand at all. This sister is so annoying and straightforward, and she is also a clear stream in the super-rich circle that only has drunken gold fans.
In this season, the performance of the "green leaves" is not lost. For example, Nam Laks, known as the "Thai version of Hilton" in Thailand, is still in school and does not have much social experience, but he is also gifted in spending money. I never look at the price when I visit the clothing store, and I bought my girlfriend's order by the way, because there is an ATM from my father.
Go to the island and bring the designer team to contract all the makeup of the girlfriends group. Anyway, I made full use of my spare time to study "how to flash daddy's card".
In addition to squandering, the remaining cast members spend most of their time in business, spending money while making money, and each of them has lived out as if they "can't catch up or marry".
They rely on their influence to do different things in different fields that are not like the rich second generation, such as Tina Leung and a number of designers in New York formed a fashion group, House of Slay, which is committed to eliminating public discrimination against Asians.
The New York chapter of "Brilliant Empire" does not show off its wealth to the end, but adds a lot of spiritual value content, although the direction of the plot is framed by the script, but at least it is not distorted in the three views. It also makes the general public realize that even the profligate top rich have flesh and blood.
People have long lost the curiosity of the beginning of showing off their wealth without a lower limit, but prefer to see the human fireworks under money and desire. This is also where the creative team is very clever, the routine of "walking with the Kardashians" can only come once, and any more is tedious.
Nexflix's opening masterpiece is here today, we may not be as rich as the cast members in the show, but at least you can eat popcorn and chase the drama happily, and you don't have to worry about where to spend the money tomorrow.
