'08 was an eventful year.

In January, nearly 500,000 people were blocked at the Guangzhou railway station due to heavy snowfall in the south of China that had not been seen in 50 years, and they could not return home during the Spring Festival.

But this has nothing to do with Zhang Liu, because he did not go south.

In March, what happened in the westernmost part of the country, where the three rivers originated, and the foreign news media's coverage of this incident, made the image of journalistic fairness that the West had spent nearly a hundred years building up begin to bankrupt in the eyes of the Chinese people.

But this has nothing to do with Zhang Liu, because that is not something that the class to which he belongs can put his beak.

In April, the Shandong Jiaoji Railway train collided, and the overall CPI consumer price level rose by 8.5% year-on-year.

Although the influx of hot money is beginning to take shape, and the CPI has started to raise prices, it still has little to do with Zhang Liu, after all, even if the price rises by 8.5%, with Zhang Liu's financial resources at this time, he can still afford to support his family, and it is more than enough.

What happened in the Yizhou Basin in May touched the hearts of everyone living on this land.

At this time, Cui Shangkun, who has never been low-key and very invisible to the media, came out and held a press conference, announcing that he would donate 1 billion yuan to support the disaster area, and was willing to approach Feixun to provide support to the disaster area.

At that time, the major real estate groups generally did not react, and a real estate boss also thought that the scale of the earthquake was not large because of the lag in news, so he planned to call on his internal employees to donate ten yuan each, but because housing prices have been rising in recent years and the original sin of the real estate developer behind the beginning, the people's impression has been poor, so the media reported that the real estate developer donated ten yuan and caused everyone to criticize, and compared with this boss, Feixun's "timely and generous" shot, Cui Shangkun, who has always been low-key, came out concisely and concisely. But it has won the favor of many ordinary people and the media.

Fenghua Entertainment also stood up for the first time at this time, Zhang Liu took the lead in expressing his willingness to donate 10 million to support the disaster area, and many people who saw this news, especially those in the entertainment industry, many of their first reaction was "Damn!" It's rich! ”

At a time when inflation was not as strict as in later years, 10 million was still a lot of money for the entertainment industry, especially for many film and television production companies.

After the premiere was held, "Heroes of the Troubled Times", which was originally planned to be released this month, had to temporarily shelve the plan for a large-scale release because of this sudden disaster.

This was a last resort decision, because at this time, not many people had the heart to go to the cinema to watch a movie, and even if the movie was released on a large scale, it would not be able to do a good job at the box office - at the same time, screenings that were not put on hold like "Heroes of Troubled Times" were all lost.

Zhang Liu's first starring movie may be about to encounter Waterloo before it is on the "battlefield", because the huge amount of money invested in "Heroes of Troubled Times" is in trouble, forcing Meng Qizhi, the boss of Huageng Boyi, who wants to do film and television, to seek listing and fundraising.

In June and July, compared with the previous thrilling prelude, these two months were relatively uneventful, nothing major happened, and a large number of Olympic-related programs and information filled the entire screen, "Heroes of the Troubled Times" was still forced to abandon the plan for a large-scale release.

Fu Kuanheng, who has artistic insistence on the movie but is helpless against these external storms, was dissatisfied with the post-placement and editing of "Heroes of the Troubled Times" made by Hua Geng Boyi in a hurry because of the rush to recover the cost, so this stubborn old man wanted to rework and continue to strive for perfection to do a good job in the post-production, Hua Geng Boyi refused to invest money, and Fenghua Entertainment came to support at this time and paid all the costs of Fu Kuanheng's re-"Fenghua Entertainment".

And it was also at this time, compared with the busyness and hustle and bustle of domestic star probes participating in various Olympic recording programs, Zhang Liu quietly disappeared from the screen, and he went to Feixun's investment subsidiary in the United States with an astronomical amount of money allocated by Feixun and began to prepare for the layout.

In August, the Beijing Olympics was a day of national and even global attention, and the people of the whole country participated in this sports carnival.

In September, Lehman Brothers filed for bankruptcy, the U.S. Treasury Department "saw death or save it", and the financial tsunami hit.

And in the second half of this month, "Heroes of Troubled Times" was officially released, and the rejection of the Olympics left this prosperous world behind, and the "great changes" that occurred in the United States far away in the sky, although it has attracted the attention of many scholars and media people, many "elites" have been keenly aware that the world situation is about to change, and this has nothing to do with ordinary people.

After experiencing so many ups and downs in this year, many people began to slowly return to their own rhythm - repeating the life that they would repeat every day, studying, working, leisure, and entertainment, and this leisure and entertainment included watching a movie that seemed to have a strong cast, a very good look, a beautiful trailer, and good music.

Normally, a movie like "Heroes of Troubled Times" has not been released on a large scale for so long after its premiere, and it is destined to be "scrapped", and the theater chain will not schedule films on a large scale, but who made this movie starring Zhang Liu, and who let Cui Shangkun and Zhang Liu have a deal, so Cui Shangkun personally gave instructions to Zhao Chenghe and made every effort to schedule "Chaos".

Who would dare not listen to the boss's words?

Therefore, "Heroes of the Troubled Times", a movie that should have been "scrapped", has been absolutely tilted in the two theaters of Huageng Boyi and Feixun, which together occupy a large market share.

Then, the box office of "Chaos" exploded, and the box office soared to more than 200 million.

And almost at the same time, Zhang Liu, who was in Feixun's investment subsidiary on Wall Street, looked at the stormy Wall Street where the "financial tsunami" was blowing, and watched the newspaper cartons and boxes coming out of the company. This one! ”

In October, the tsunami from the United States officially hit the country, and all industries began to feel the chill, labor-intensive industries such as textiles encountered difficulties, steel and non-ferrous metals were shrouded in clouds, and the real estate industry suffered a cold winter. Now that the mind is no longer on the company, someone is planning to □□, and outside, a mysterious force has begun to move around to cut off the flow of Feixun's money, that is, trying to get the bank to stop lending to Feixun.

And when this qiē happened, Cui Shangkun seemed to be unaware, because he was still talking to Zhang Liu on the phone very "not doing his job".

On the phone, Zhang Liu whispered to Cui Shangkun: "It's done." ”

Cui Shangkun said: "Not bad. ”

Zhang Liu said: "I know that some things will happen, even a fool can handle it, you have a good manpower here, I can be a tablet, basically a shopkeeper...... What about you? ”

Cui Shangkun said: "Fight the grass and scare the snake, lead the king into the urn, the show is about to start, don't come back in advance to watch." ”

Zhang Liu said: "My sister has been learning martial arts recently, and I plan to accompany her to practice sanda." "Zhang Liu's implication is that I'm not interested, I still have to play with my sister.

Cui Shangkun sighed and said, "Okay, you have fun, the time is up, I'll inform you that I won't delay your time too much." ”

Zhang Liu raised his eyebrows and hung up the phone very calmly.
