Chapter 807 A Vast Expanse of Green, a Joke From God!
As soon as he returned to Beverly Hills from the studio, Chen Fei appeared on domestic news websites.
Looking around, at this moment, not only the entertainment industry, but also the entire Internet has completely exploded!
In the turbulent sea of A-shares, a storm has arrived!
The mood of the investors is like a ship on the sea. With the ups and downs of the waves, worry and helplessness are intertwined into a heavy picture.
"What's going on? What's going on?"
On social media, such doubts are popping up one after another!
The dynamics of the A-share market tug at the heartstrings of every investor, and everyone is anxiously watching the beat of every number.
"Less than half an hour after the market opened, the Shanghai Composite Index plunged by more than 100 points, and it is already approaching 5,000 points..."
The news released by the media in real time is like cold water on the people, which is chilling.
The continuous falling of the GEM Index is even more frightening. The string of numbers seems like a bottomless pit, swallowing up the confidence of investors!
"3900, 3800, 3700, 3600... unexpectedly... still falling!"
Along with the turbulence of A-shares, the collective shutdown of popular industries such as the Internet, finance, and cultural media has added fuel to the fire, exacerbating market turmoil.
In the film and television industry, Huayi, as the leader, has become the target of public criticism due to its plummeting market value.
Media reports continue to appear:
"In less than an hour, Huayi's market value of nearly 10 billion has completely evaporated. The market value has dropped to 80 billion, and it is still falling..."
"The market value of Raytheon shrank to 18 billion, and nearly 3 billion evaporated out of thin air!"
"The market value of Tangde Films, Huace Films, Great Wall Films and many other companies has plummeted and the situation is bleak!"
"..."
As news reports appear frequently, at this moment, many people on the Internet are sighing: "I didn't expect that these industries that used to be so prosperous have now encountered Waterloo."
Looking around, in this market crash, the Shanghai Composite Index, Shenzhen Composite Index, GEM Index and other A-share markets turned green across the board!
The worries and helplessness of stock investors are getting stronger and stronger, as if they have been sucked into the endless abyss by this storm!
On the sofa, Liu Yifei looked at the market in surprise: "Wow! Everything is green!"
Although she doesn't know much about the stock market, she still knows "green" and "red".
"Well, everything fell apart."
Chen Fei nodded and glanced subconsciously at banks, oil, and insurance.
Simply using the word "miserable" cannot even describe the plummeting trend of the stock prices of these companies.
The market value plummets, no one can escape it alone, each one is even worse than the last!
Let’s not mention other industries. If we just look at the film and television industry, it is also full of corpses.
Many film and television companies have dropped to their lowest limit since opening, and those big directors, actors, and stars who were already capital have lost tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of net worth out of thin air!
Of course, capital like Huang Xiaoming, which focuses on "investment business", happens to be outside the category of "unlucky".
However, they certainly cannot be alone, and the losses have also reached a level that makes them feel distressed!
"This is not a small-scale fluctuation, this is purely a stock market crash!"
Chen Fei murmured, and a long-lost memory suddenly appeared in his mind.
If you think about it carefully, the last time the market experienced such a slump, it seemed that it was when the U.S. stock market exploded, and it was with the help of that opportunity that he successfully achieved financial freedom.
Liu Yifei looked over curiously: "Will you also be affected?"
Chen Fei nodded slightly: "Yes, Longxiang Capital will definitely be affected, but I have been prepared for it. The loss is not too big and is just within the controllable range."
"Hehe, that's good."
Liu Yifei breathed a sigh of relief, raised his arms, put her little head into his arms, and stared at him with a pair of watery eyes.
Chen Fei looked at her curiously, "What's wrong?"
Liu Yifei pouted, coquettishly, and drew circles on his chest: "Since you haven't been affected too much, let's not pay attention to the news, okay? It's getting late. It's time to rest. We have to get up early tomorrow. Catch a flight."
"Hey? Are you that impatient?"
"No way? I just think you are so tired from filming that you should rest early."
"Haha, okay, let's go to bed early and let's take a bath together first."
"Hehe, okay! I can promise you a new posture tonight! Just think of it as a reward before we say goodbye!"
Hearing this, Chen Fei's pace accelerated even more, his face full of impatience!
…
After a hard night's work, Chen Fei got up early the next day and put Liu Yifei on the plane back home.
"Remember to send me a message as soon as you get back. We'll see you in the UK."
"Yeah, I know, see you in the UK, bye..."
Liu Yifei yawned and waved behind her, and her pretty back quickly disappeared at the boarding gate.
After leaving the airport, Chen Fei returned to the villa again, eating breakfast and reading domestic news.
There are still many people discussing news about the stock market on the Internet.
After a whole day of plunging, the "leeks" are in a very bad mood. Words such as "bankruptcy", "see you on the rooftop", "I regret it" and so on appear on the Internet from time to time.
At the moment of "crisis", the experts from the China Securities Regulatory Commission jumped out again and made many remarks.
And one of the remarks was unanimously recognized by many people.
"Investors, don't be nervous. This is an automatic adjustment caused by the rapid rise of the A-share market. It belongs to the normal regulation state and will recover in a short time..."
"Puff!"
Chen Fei sprayed a mouthful of soy milk directly from his mouth.
Still normal regulation? Automatic recovery? It's just a fart!
"Alas, poor leeks."
With a sigh, Chen Fei turned his attention to the specific summary of the domestic film market in June.
The movie "The Worst Man in the World" directed and starred by him has exceeded 400 million yuan in box office after 11 days of release, but the daily new box office has fallen back to 10.65 million.
As for the movie "Young Class" released at the same time, the total box office is only 50.6 million, and the daily new box office has dropped to 1 million. It is estimated that it will be officially offline in the next two days.
And the box office of "Running Wild in Hollywood" reached 215 million after 5 days of release, but unfortunately the daily new box office has dropped to 19.38 million.
Currently, "Jurassic World" is still in the lead, with a comprehensive word-of-mouth score of 9.1 and a total box office of 1.205 billion, which is so fierce!
However, with the official arrival of the summer vacation, this momentum of forging ahead is estimated to not last long.
"The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain" will be released in domestic theaters tomorrow.
Chen Fei is still very curious. I don't know how "good" the first-day box office of this movie by the great poet Chen, which opened the curtain of the domestic summer vacation, can be?
...
After breakfast, Chen Fei went straight out and rushed to Lucasfilm.
His flight was at 8:30 in the evening, which was still very early.
Taking advantage of the free time during the day, he planned to go to Lucasfilm to see the finished film of "Star Wars: The Force Awakens".
As a subsidiary of Walton Pictures, Lucasfilm has developed quite well in recent years.
In the second half of this year alone, two film projects are about to be launched.
One of them is "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" and the other is "Geostorm".
Chen Fei is very optimistic about these two film projects, especially "The Force Awakens". He believes that it will not lose to "Jurassic World", which is currently No. 2 in the North American box office rankings in 2015.
The current North American box office of "Jurassic World" is 653 million, and Chen Fei expects the North American box office of "The Force Awakens" to be 700 million US dollars.
He believes that with the popularity of the "Star Wars" IP, coupled with the quality and potential of "The Force Awakens", this goal should be achieved.
As for the current No. 1 in the North American box office rankings, it is naturally "Avengers 2: Age of Ultron".
The result of 986 million US dollars makes it stand out from the crowd!
…
At the same time, outside the Warner studio area, it has become lively again.
For the "Ben-Hur" crew, today is a good day, because the crew, which has stopped filming for a week, finally resumed filming today!
Johnny Depp has been lying in the hospital for a whole week, and now he has finally recovered and can join the crew to shoot again.
Early in the morning, Megan Ellison rushed to the set to coordinate the overall situation.
With the smooth progress of the later stage of "King Arthur: Legend of the Sword", she can no longer tolerate the "indulgence" of "Ben-Hur".
In any case, this movie must be finished before August!
After arriving at the set at 7 o'clock, Megan Ellison began to wait for Depp to arrive, ready to have a good exchange with him.
But the time was already 9 o'clock, and the guy was still not here!
"Call Depp. Why is he late today? What is he doing?" Megan's voice became colder and colder. She really couldn't understand why there were such uncooperative actors in Hollywood.
Lauder, who was standing aside, quickly took out his mobile phone and called Depp.
Unfortunately, unfortunately, no one answered the phone.
Helplessly, Megan had to take out her mobile phone and called the "inside" Amber Heard.
This time the call was connected, but Amber's words made the entire crew fall into silence.
"After Depp was discharged from the hospital last night, he gathered a group of friends to celebrate at the bar. He has not returned home yet. He doesn't answer my calls and I can't contact him at all."
"Damn it! Damn it!"
The phone was thrown directly by Megan. She roared at Lauder: "Go! Go to Depp's bar immediately. I want to ask him if he can afford the cost of breach of contract!"
At this time, Depp, who had just woken up from a hangover, was taking drugs in the bar box with his group of friends.
"Today's batch of goods is very pure. Take a sip and you will feel energetic!"
Listening to Depp's words, one of the younger brothers laughed: "Boss, this batch of goods is the top-quality goods sent from Little St. James Island!"
"Huh?" Depp was stunned for a moment, and then a hint of reverie suddenly appeared on his face: "I haven't been to the island for a long time. It seems that after the filming of this movie is finished, I have to visit Jeffrey Epstein's business. ”
Hearing this, several of the younger brothers showed envious expressions on their faces.
They have all heard Depp say that Little St. James Island is a paradise of enjoyment and depravity. There are only ways to play that you can't think of, and there is no way that they can't do it.
It's a pity that in addition to having money, you also need to have enough influence to go to that island.
Except for Depp, they are not qualified to go.
Several people did not have an in-depth chat on this issue, after all, there were some taboos in that place.
After finishing smoking, when we were getting excited, a younger brother suddenly said: "Johnny, can we just tolerate being beaten and slandered like this?"
Depp made a move with his hands, and his high excitement suddenly aroused his anger.
Recalling the few days he spent lying in the hospital, he suddenly became furious!
Since the release of "Pirates of the Caribbean", who in Hollywood has not praised him? When had he ever suffered such great humiliation?
"I can't bear it! I absolutely can't bear it! I want revenge! I will take revenge from today on!"
A group of boys all turned to look at him: "Johnny, what should we do? We follow your command!"
Depp had a sarcastic expression on his face: "Isn't that crew next door to us? In that case, let's buy a few buckets of paint, rush in and splash it into their set to teach them a lesson first!"
"Okay, that's a good idea!"
"Show them a bloody mess!"
"Hahaha, I'm going to buy red paint, pour it into their crotches, and dye their bird feathers red..."
A group of people rushed out of the bar, bought paint, and went straight to the studio.
However, not long after they left, Megan Ellison rushed in with a group of people from the crew outside the bar.
"Where's Depp! Let him come out..."
As soon as she entered the door, Megan Ellison shouted angrily.
The bartender heard the sound and came out, looked at the group of people curiously, and explained: "Depp has left the bar."
Megan's expression was startled: "Where has he gone?"
"They seem to be clamoring to go to some studio... to cause trouble..."
"Oh! My God! Damn it! Are you going to make me pay again?"
Megan Ellison's expression changed drastically, and she quickly led a group of people towards the studio area again, intending to stop Depp who was about to do bad things.
However, how can a normal driver drive faster than a drugged driver?
The RV that was racing all the way soon arrived outside the studio area. Depp led a group of boys out of the car in a mighty manner, carrying paint buckets and rushed to the Walton Film Studio.
"Go ahead! Dye their bird feathers green!"
"Listen to my orders! As soon as the door opens, it will splash. We are going to cause a scene on the set today!"
"Hahahahaha, huh?"
The factory door was ajar, and Depp kicked it open.
However, the next second, he froze on the spot.
Looking around, the factory area is empty. All the props and equipment have been taken away. Except for a few cleaning staff who are cleaning, there is no one else!
"Huh? Where are the people?"
Depp looked at the empty scene around him with a confused expression.
At this time, Lauder, who heard the noise, rushed over from the "Ben-Hur" crew.
Looking at the paint buckets in the hands of Depp and others, his expression suddenly changed, and he quickly said: "Depp, stop doing stupid things. "Ready Player One" was all evacuated yesterday. Don't you think you have caused enough trouble? Is it too much? How long will I continue to toss..."
With Lauder's persuasion, Depp gradually calmed down.
And when he heard that Megan Ellison actually went to the bar and was going to ask him for an explanation, his expression changed suddenly.
He knew quite well that the crew had never done anything to him before, mainly because he was the leading actor in "Ben-Hur".
But once Megan Ellison fucks him hard, he's blatantly breaking the contract.
According to legal provisions, he is likely to be taken to court to compensate the "Ben-Hur" crew for all losses!
When he thought that he might lose hundreds of millions of dollars, Depp's expression suddenly changed!
He threw the paint bucket on the ground and walked quickly towards the RV: "Go back to the bar, I want to have a good talk with Megan."
A group of people got into the car in large numbers and took a shortcut to the bar.
However, not long after they left the studio area, Megan Ellison led a group of people back to the set.
The two sides just missed it perfectly.
Depp didn't bother to charge his phone at all, and Meghan's phone was just smashed by her because she was so angry that God made a joke between the two!
…
July 1st just passed by.
At 8:30 pm, Chen Fei got on the plane to the UK very punctually.
Many foreigners in the first-class cabin had already taken advantage of the night to fall asleep, but he was still reading the domestic news.
Last night, if nothing else happened, many people in the country were unable to sleep well, or even stayed up all night!
It is no exaggeration to say that I am afraid that all investors on the Internet are waiting for the opening of the market the next day, and are hoping that Big A just has a small flu...
The time soon came to 9:30.
Under everyone's expectation, the stock market opened.
However, more people chose to stand on the rooftop at 10 o'clock!
Because, looking around, the entire stock market was all green, and there was no trace of red at all!
"Financial news report: A shares opened again, the Shanghai Composite Index, Shenzhen Composite Index, and ChiNext Index continued to fall, all in the red."
"An expert analyzed that compared with yesterday, although the A-share market still showed a sharp decline, it did not show a diving trend. This phenomenon indicates that A shares are expected to stop falling soon..."
"Huayi's market value has shrunk by nearly 1 billion again, and there is no good news at all."
"The value of many directors, stars, and actors has shrunk significantly."
"The stocks of many listed companies have fallen to the limit!"
On the plane, Chen Fei shrugged, pulled a blanket over himself, and whispered:
"The stock market crash is coming! Huayi? Haha, it's going to be finished!"
