Earning money is pointless if it is not put to use. Wayne Lai (黎耀祥) and his family earlier moved from their apartment in Sham Tseng to a luxurious individual flat in Sheung Shui. The TV King has been working nonstop over the recent years, with no free time to spare. Moving into the new house, as well as purchasing a $3 million HKD Lamborghini serves as a reward. “I have work almost everyday. Even when I’m filming a drama, I have other jobs such as attending shows in the United States. I did stay there for a couple days to shop and eat, but the feeling is different from when you actually go on vacation. My wife and I both like to stay home, and my son doesn’t really enjoy going out either. We all love staying indoors, so we decided it’s fine to spend a large amount of money for the house. In the future, I won’t need to travel to Thailand. When I get a day off, I can just stay home and go for a swim as if I were at a resort. It’s just as happy and satisfying,” Wayne expressed. The new house is over 3,000 feet in size, with an exquisitely designed private garden located outside. The rent costs approximately $60,000 HKD per month. Wayne revealed that he has never lived in an individual flat before. With its spacious rooms, he is able to fulfill his dream of purchasing his son a larger desk for homework purposes. Since properties are extremely pricey at the moment, Wayne said that he prefers to rent the house first before making a purchase. Tabloids pointed out that his previous apartment has very good feng shui, allowing him to take home the TVB Best Actor award three times. Wayne admitted, “Everything was indeed successful when I lived there. But I still think feng shui is just a consideration, because work is about one’s own efforts. At the moment, I don’t know whether I will sell the apartment or put it out for rent. But I’m liking the selling option more, because I feel that renting to others is a lot of trouble.” Does Not Mind Criticism of “Bullet Brain” Wayne’s current series, Bullet Brain <神探高倫布>, continues to suffer from low ratings and criticism of netizens despite having aired for three weeks. Wayne said, “I never take success or failure seriously. Being in the industry for many years, I’ve filmed numerous dramas. It’s not like I’ve never lost before. As an actor, I’ve tried my best to perform well and did all my homework. I can’t control whether or not the audience will like the type of drama.” Creds: Ming Pao
