Some time ago, the topic of Liu Ruoying's Beijing Courtyard rushed to the top of the hot search list as soon as it appeared.
It's no wonder that everyone is shocked, the following few strokes, the amount of information is not good:
Star Liu Ruoying is in a courtyard near Beijing's Qianmen, just 1,000 meters from Tiananmen Square, and the 40 million purchase is now worth hundreds of millions of ......
* As soon as it came out, someone was yin and yang in the comment area, "I will have those few songs for a lifetime, and I still have money to buy Beijing courtyards." Some people frequently questioned it, saying, "It's not a courtyard house, it's just a bungalow, and there is a café outside the bookstore."
Maybe it was too loud, and Liu Ruoying herself clarified it that night:
The courtyard house I bought was "fake", but my husband and a friend rented it to open a bookstore was "real".
In my impression, it is not uncommon for celebrities to live in courtyard houses.
For example, Zhang Ruoyun's nine-bedroom and nine-hall villa in imitation of Beijing's courtyard house costs 20 million yuan (about 22 million Hong Kong dollars) for the first phase alone.
is also an example of Yu Bo, who was trapped in Hengdian during the epidemic and made cameos everywhere and contracted the role of a father in large and small dramas, he and Zheng Guolin and Huang Haibing had a good sense of existence because of "wandering and being a father".
Yu Bo worked as a security guard at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse, and was later admitted to the Beijing Film Academy under the guidance of a master, and became classmates with Yao Chen and Ling Xiaosu. Because of his appearance and force value, Yu Bo's "Xiao Shiyi Lang" and "Water Moon Cave Sky" became popular in one fell swoop, becoming a childhood male god in the memories of a generation of post-80s.
It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, with the collapse of the signed Zhou Yi Film and Television Company, Yu Bo, the "first brother of Zhou Yi", also faded out of the public eye, and goodbye is already a "handsome guy who is out of luck".
However, Yu Bo himself obviously didn't care, he had already made a lot of money.
After filming "Water Moon Cave Sky" that year, Yu Bo, who became popular, took the 2.6 million salary he received and purchased two sets of "broken houses" in the eyes of others in Beijing.
One set is in Shichahai, with an area of 300 square meters, and the other is in the Lama Temple, with an area of 150 square meters.
In order to buy these two courtyards, Yu Bo can be said to have lost his family and made a fortune. Because the yard was dilapidated and needed to be drastically renovated, it was once ridiculed and ridiculed by the people around it. Now, the market value of Yu Bo's two houses has doubled, worth hundreds of millions, and those who have ridiculed him have been slapped in the face ...... crazy
For buying a courtyard house, most people may feel that Yu Bo has a vision and is good at investment. In fact, Yu Bo lived in the countryside when he was a child, loved to listen to the sound of rain hitting the eaves, and liked traditional culture and ancient buildings since he was a child.
obviously didn't spend a lot of time, but he got the enviable precious treasure crookedly, Yu Bo can be said to be "unintentionally inserted into the willows".
Of course, this kind of gift of fate, in addition to God's love, there is another way to get it: the local tyrant gives it.
When she divorced her ex-husband media tycoon Murdoch, the news of the separation of family property was very popular.
In the end, it ended with Wendi Deng getting two houses. It's not a lot, but it's a big deal: a three-story mansion at 834 Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, New York, and a courtyard house on the edge of the Forbidden City in Beijing.
In the summer of 2018, Wendi Deng, who has been living abroad for a long time, returned to Beijing with her eldest daughter Grace.
Through the PO picture of Wendi Deng's eldest daughter, the interior of the courtyard was made public for the first time.
Wendi Deng's courtyard house is more luxurious than the surroundings, and it is said that the decoration designer is the assistant of the world's architect I.M. Pei.
There are also a lot of koi fish in the fish pond in the yard, and when Wendi Deng is not in China, there is a special person in charge of taking care of the courtyard.
suddenly remembered a rumor that when Guo Jingjing "married" Huo Qigang, the Huo family gave 3 sets of mansions as a dowry, and the largest first was a set of courtyard houses in Beijing. The courtyard house was started by the old man Huo Yingdong in his early years, covering an area of 500 square meters, and now it is estimated to be worth three or four hundred million.
According to the neighbor uncle who was interviewed, the yard has its own swimming pool, and it is cleaned regularly by no one living in the yard.
The shape of the courtyard is square, reflecting the traditional culture of the "round place", implying the meaning of gathering wealth, the wealth of the four directions is like the water in the sky, flowing into the courtyard wall in a steady stream, which is not only a place of storage, but also a symbol of wealth, known as "the four waters return to the hall".
And Wendi Deng's courtyard house is a social field to revitalize resources.
She held parties in the courtyard many times, and former fashion editor-in-chief Su Mang, old friend Zhang Ziyi and Deng Wendi's little foreign boyfriend at the time were all guests.
Wendi Deng's mother and daughter with Zhang Ziyi and Su Mang, the first on the left is called Ying Qinglan, co-founder of Shanghai Twenty-One Contemporary Art Fair ART021).
When it comes to Wendi Deng, some people always think that she is a careerist who relies on men to ascend to the top, but they ignore one point: her real advantage is actually upward socialization.
In the political, business, literary and artistic circles and fashion circles, Wendi Deng has established a wide range of contacts, and when he divorced Murdoch, it was rumored that he had a relationship with former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, and the American "Newsweek" also broke out that she was in a "serious relationship" with Russia's ** Putin ......
These news sound a bit unreliable, but they also confirm the breadth of Wendi Deng's social circle. can become a guest of honor in the courtyard outside the Forbidden City, and none of them are small people.
Anna Wintour, editor-in-chief of Vogue America, has been a friend of Wendi Deng for many years, and she is so familiar with Deng that she attended the Oscars, and they are all "clothes that Anna helped find".
The first time this fashion female devil came to China, it was Wendi Deng and Zhang Yu, the former editor-in-chief of the Chinese version of "Vogue", who were received in the courtyard together.
Laughing, when Wendi Deng introduced Su Mang to his daughter, the original words were, "This is my good friend Su Mang, China's Anna Wintour." ”）
Due to historical problems, there are very few courtyard houses in the second ring road with clear property rights and suitable for rental and sales.
One of the main features of the courtyard house, which is sought after by the wealthy circles, is its privacy, and the quaint gate separates the two worlds from each other
Inside the normally closed gate, there is a valuable yellow rosewood furniture, one side of the clear water, ancient trees towering to the sky, outside the door is a narrow and bustling street, parked on the side of the road ordinary residents' scooters.
The courtyard house shown by Wang Gang in "Our Master").
Many owners of the courtyard are rumored to be entrepreneurs and superstars such as Jet Li and Jackie Chan, and they are all the talking points of the Beijing uncle on the side of the alley, but, except for the ** that was actively posted, most of the others have never seen the rich living in the courtyard.
In addition to collections and residences, decent courtyard houses are more private business clubs, and the signs and symbols of the top wealthy people in the Beijing circle are thriving, and there are often large businesses that are several times higher than the value of the courtyard houses.
When the sister of the writing cabinet married a wealthy family, the mansion of Ronaldo's girlfriend Georgina was super large and super exaggerated, and the logic behind it was super dazzling and super faceless.
This is because ordinary people always have a certain nouveau riche mentality at the beginning, and after several generations of ups and downs, they slowly learn to hide wealth and be low-key, and start the life of an old money family that pursues quality and restraint.
The courtyard houses that survive now, not to mention the age of construction, are all old houses with a long history. For those courtyard houses that have not been modernized, the heating and fire problems in winter need to be solved (go to the Forbidden City in winter to feel it).
The cost of purchase and renovation is huge, and the cost of maintenance is also a huge expense, just like the aristocratic castles in Europe, every inch of the house needs to be carefully cared for in order to maintain a comfortable state suitable for living.
The buyers behind such super luxury properties have never been concerned about cost-effectiveness and livability.
Compared with Bo's love for old houses, Wendi Deng uses the courtyard to socialize, star collectors value and feelings, different uses represent completely different original intentions, reflecting the completely different psychology of the homeowner, and the courtyard is also given a new meaning on the basis of the original architectural art value and ornamental value.
Beijing's courtyard houses and old alleys have the same important historical value as the Forbidden City. The surviving old houses outside the Forbidden City are indelible historical marks and the continuation of humanistic life.
And what seems to be low-key is often another form of high-profile, such low-key is not noisy, revealing elegance and delicacy in the bones. Rare and expensive, this kind of high-profile with a cave, the treasure is not in the heart, it may be a symbol of real strength!
