Chapter 2035 Mountain Fires in Winter

Yang Cheng felt that this book was not suitable for commercial movies, but it could be used to win awards. With the old man's skills, the reputation would definitely be good.

But judging from Yang Cheng's experience in the past few years, there is basically no need to count on the box office. It will last tens of millions, and there is almost no overseas market. Who cares how wronged you, an American, have been?

Fortunately, the investment is not high, and it lasts for 10 million. If you save a little, you can almost win 5 to 7 million. In this way, including the cost of publicity, it will take at least 50 million at the box office to make back the money. If it fails at the box office, you will still have to pay back. It will affect the sale of surrounding copyrights.

However, looking at Xiao Lizi's enthusiasm, it is estimated that even if he does not invest, he will have to pay out of his own pocket, but the purpose of recruiting Yang Cheng is to level the risk. After all, no one's money comes from strong winds.

With Li Zi’s ability to analyze scripts, how could he fail to see the commercial prospects of this book?

"Jason, let's put it this way, my future will definitely go behind the scenes, so I will try to make various types of films, including this type of documentary-oriented album."

Yang Cheng smiled and said, "Are you asking me to pay you to gain experience?"

"Ha~ you can think so~" Xiao Lizi was sincere.

Yang Cheng muttered, "Let's do this. When the book comes out, you can show it to Donna. If she thinks it can be done, then do it."

Xiao Lizi thought for a while and didn't ask any more questions. Anyway, the full version of the book hasn't come out yet, so it's too late to talk about it after it comes out.

At this time, White ran over and said, "There's another wildfire~"

Xiao Lizi curled his lips, "What do the fire brigade do? Wildfires have become a habitual event~"

Yang Cheng shrugged, "Is it serious? It's spring now, when rainfall is concentrated. How could a wildfire happen?"

Xiao Lizi was also very confused, "Yes, isn't it usually August or September?"

White shook his head, "The cause is still unknown, but it is probably caused by human error~"

"A bunch of idiots~" Xiao Lizi cursed.

"What to do? Do we need to evacuate?"

"No need for the time being. The wildfires are still far away from us, but it won't be long before the air will be polluted~"

Xiao Lizi hates this kind of thing the most,

"It's better to leave. There is no benefit in staying here except smoking ashes. I'm going to the Caribbean island. Do you want to come with me?"

Yang Cheng shook his head, "I won't go. I just returned to the United States and I'm too lazy to bother. If it doesn't work, I'll go back to New York~"

"Okay, I don't care about you anymore, just run away~"

"Let's go, coward~"

California faces the Pacific Ocean to the west and has a typical Mediterranean climate. The year is divided into two seasons: dry season and rainy season. California's dry season is from August to November every year. At this time, the weather is dry and windy, so wildfires occur frequently.

Because there have been wildfires every year in recent years, locals have given this period a very "Hollywood" name - wildfire season.

But now it’s not even March, and the wildfire season hasn’t started yet, so why are wildfires happening?

Isn't it arson? This kind of thing has never happened before.

Not long after Xiao Lizi left, Yang Cheng came to the TV and looked at the news reports that the wildfire had been spreading for three days.

The host said that this year was drier than previous years and there was not enough rainfall during the rainy season. However, there were lightning strikes in the market. It was suspected that the wildfire was caused by lightning strikes.

Wildfires are difficult to extinguish, and this is just the beginning. The affected area reaches thousands of square kilometers every year.

At present, California has deployed thousands of firefighters to put out the fire, but these thousands of people are unable to do anything under the monstrous fire.

Under the management of Cal Fire, more than 95% of personnel and equipment will be devoted to fire-fighting work in the next two days.

In the past, a considerable number of those who participated in fighting wildfires were inmates in California. There was no way, the fire brigade had too few available personnel, and the wildfires spread too fast. After weighing the pros and cons, it was more appropriate to use prisoners.

However, the over-reliance on prisoners to fight fires has neglected the recruitment and training of full-time firefighters. This is an area where governments across California have been criticized. After all, every time a fire is put out, prisoners escape.

Yang Cheng listened to the report on the TV and said to Luo Yue without looking back, "Let's go to New York tomorrow morning. You also tell Lin Ximan and ask her to come back together when the mountain fire is out~"

Luo Yue glanced at the TV, "Will the mountain fire come over?"

"It's hard to say, but it's better to prepare early. Even if it doesn't burn out, the air quality in the next few days will be very worrying."

"Okay, I'll go tell Manman and ask her to come with us~"

. . .

Rich people are always concerned about their own lives. As for money, it is really not that important. If the money is gone, you can still make money. If your life is gone, who will spend the money?

So in the midst of the disaster, the Los Angeles Airport was jammed!

Yes, this is not a joke in a cross talk, it is a real incident. There is a traffic jam in Los Angeles!

The ground is congested, and the air is also congested. Private jets queuing up to take off are encroaching on the departure time of civil aviation, but there is no way. Compared with the contribution of civil aviation, a private jet parked at the airport for a year costs millions of dollars. How much can you contribute? The airport can settle this account better than anyone else.

Of course, the airport cannot do too much. On average, every two private planes take off and one civil aviation company successfully releases it.

Yang Cheng's Jason was also in the queue at this time. They arrived late, and there were already dozens of planes lined up in front of them, including civil aviation and private planes. Now Yang Cheng couldn't do it even if he had the ability to do it, so he could only Just wait patiently.

But they are not in a hurry. They will definitely be able to fly anyway. The mountain fire is still far away from them, so they will not be short of time.

Luo Yue and Lin Ximan were studying wedding dresses there, and the designer sent several sets of samples.

Yang Cheng was bored and ran to Hansen's side to sit down and chat with the bodyguards.

After waiting for nearly 40 minutes, the tower finally cleared the plane and the plane began to taxi slowly.

Yang Cheng exhaled, "I can finally fly~"

Andrew joked, "A wildfire burned out all the rich people in California."

Yang Cheng also laughed, "Yes, rich people are afraid of death, and I am afraid of death too~"

"So the boss is a rich man~"

"Shit, do I need to talk about my money?"

"Haha~" the bodyguards laughed.

Taking advantage of his emotions, Hansen said at this time, "Boss, after returning to New York this time, can I take two days off?"

Yang Cheng was stunned for a moment, "Why do you want to take leave suddenly? Something happened at home?"

"It's not something at home, but I suddenly remembered my former comrades and wanted to see them~" When Hansen said this, a trace of sadness appeared on his face unconsciously, obviously remembering the sad past.

Yang Cheng guessed that it might be related to the conversation with Lewis when he was in the UK.

It brought back bad memories for him.

Yang Cheng considers himself a good boss. He will not go out in the short term after returning to New York. It will be the same with Andrew following him, so he happily agreed to Hansen's request for leave, "Okay, I'll just give you 1 week. I'll give it to you." Nothing else~"

"Two days is enough for the boss, it won't take that long~"

Yang Cheng waved his hand, "You can make the arrangements yourself~"

. . .

After flying to New York, Hansen said goodbye to Yang Cheng on the spot, bought a plane ticket and flew to South Carolina. It seemed that his comrades lived there.

The way home was a little dull, and Yang Cheng asked curiously, "Andrew, do you know who Hansen is going to meet?"

Andrew hesitated for a moment, "I'm not sure, but if I go to South Carolina, I should go to the house of the wife of his comrade who was accidentally killed~"

Yang Cheng was shocked, "Manslaughter?"

Andrew gritted his teeth, "I don't know much, but one time Hansen accidentally let it slip when he was drunk.

During his last mission that year, due to omissions in intelligence, there were countless casualties and their team was wiped out. But what really made him think about retiring was his erroneous decision-making, which caused his comrades to fall under his gun. . "

Yang Cheng listened very enthusiastically, sat up straight and asked, "What's going on? With Hansen's shooting skills, it's impossible to cause a manslaughter, right?"

"Normally not, but during that operation, his comrade was accidentally captured and carried. The comrade asked Hansen to shoot. Hansen believed in his marksmanship and finally fired, but the accident happened again. The gangster on the opposite side reacted very quickly and hid behind his comrade almost at the same time he pressed the trigger."

Needless to say, Yang Cheng could guess what happened next. He was so sad that he didn't expect Hansen to have such a story.

It seems that the King of War can never be achieved casually!

"Boss, don't tell Hansen about this. This is his deepest secret." Andrew ordered.

"Of course, I won't tell it. No one else will know about this except you and me."

Fortunately, Luo Yue sat in the car behind with Lin Ximan.

After returning home, her parents were not at home. Old John expressed the warmest welcome to Lin Ximan on their behalf and arranged a spacious bedroom for her.

Luo Yue accompanied Lin Ximan to choose a room, and Yang Cheng called Old John, "Let's have Chinese food tonight and tell my parents~"

"No problem~" Of course Old John would not refuse.

"In addition, I hope you can be there to help me entertain the guests at my wedding in July. Carson and White will both be there~"

"No problem Jason, even if you don't tell me, I will help. Leave it to me. I will ensure that all the guests can enjoy a perfect wedding."

"Of course, I believe you, you are a professional."

"By the way Jason, I have something to tell you. I found that the growth rate of the U.S. real estate market has slowed down significantly, and I feel that a turning point in the real estate market is about to occur."

Yang Cheng frowned, "Is U.S. real estate going to collapse again? It's less than 10 years since 2008~"

"Yes, what is even more worrying is that housing prices in the hottest cities in the United States have not only shown a lack of momentum for growth, but have even slowed down faster than the United States, or have simply shown signs of decline."

"Huh? Which city are you talking about?"

"Seattle! It dropped 13% in half a year!"

Yang Cheng was startled, "So many?"

Old John nodded seriously, "So I have to remind you, should we tighten our investment in real estate in the United States?"
