Chapter 343: Black Monday
"The lighting group will control the changes for a while, and we must ensure that Ah Xia's front is clear."
"Wait for the second machine to follow up, and the third machine will capture a close-up of the side, and pay attention to my gestures at any time."
"Ah Xia, you are for your son, ask the Bodhisattva for your blessing, and bow down all the way to control your good expression. Can't be too sad, and there's an expectation, you know?"
"Ok, all departments have paid attention, the 67th scene of "Mom Loves Me Again", the 5th shot, the 2nd shooting, Exon!"
Friday, October 16th.
Today's filming is a night scene. The young Lin Zhiqiang played by Xiao Binbin is seriously ill, and the mother Huang Qiuxia played by Lin Yixia has been kicked out of the Lin family and raised her son alone in the rural crew. Because he didn't have the money to seek medical treatment for his son, he could only follow the custom of the older generation, kowtow all the way up the mountain, and pray to the Bodhisattva to bless his son for safety.
Taiwan pays attention to literature and art, and there are a lot of sad and bitter dramas, Lin Yixia is also famous now, has starred in many TV series, and has played such a role, this feeling is not unfamiliar.
But her expression was a little excessive, her sadness was too much, and her expectations were insufficient, which was different from Chen Ping'an's request. Chen Ping'an asked her not only to express her concern for her son, but also to express her expectations in her heart, looking forward to exchanging her sincerity for the blessing of the Bodhisattva and blessing her son to save the day.
So the first shot failed to get through.
If it is changed to other shots, it will be about the same, but maternal love is the focus of this play, and this movie finally only created a heroine, which is deeply remembered by mainland audiences, so Lin Yixia's role in this regard, Chen Ping'an is very demanding.
However, the second time it went wrong again.
"Cards! Li Hua, what are you doing, what are your hands shaking! "
Li Hua is one of the photographers of this play, and he is the photographer found by Zhang Yijia, and he is not well-known in the circle. But the basics are okay. But this time, his hands kept shaking, and he couldn't see the change of producer. Chen Ping'an was annoyed!
As a photographer, this is a fundamental mistake. And Lin Yixia worked very hard to shoot this scene, and some close-ups required her to really knock on the ground, can Chen Ping'an not feel distressed?
Chen Ping'an's temper is not bad, after Li Hua apologized, he didn't dig deeper, and waved his hand after a few words: "Do it again!"
""Mom Loves Me Again" Scene 67, Scene 5, Shot 3, Exon!"
This time there was a problem again, Lin Yixia had a good control of his expression, and his face was delicate and innocent. The sadness, piety, and worry that came out of the table were unbearable in Zhang Yijia's heart. The problem appeared in the photography again, Li Hua's hands were still shaking, and they were shaking even more.
"What's going on!"
This time it was Zhang Yijia who roared.
Although Zhang Yijia is a woman and is only an assistant director, she has a lot of temper when filming, especially when she sees those low-level mistakes, she still makes low-level mistakes one after another, which makes her unbearable.
Li Hua is the person she found, and she made mistakes one after another tonight. made her lose face and be greatly angry.
"Let's take a break!" Chen Ping'an shouted, and asked Lin Yixia's assistant and staff to immediately put on Lin Yixiao's coat and send hot soup. Mountainous region of Taiwan in October. It's already a bit chilly.
Over there, Zhang Yijia was reprimanding Li Hua, Chen Ping'an cared about Lin Yixia and walked over: "Sister Aijia, don't scold."
"Can you not scold! At the critical moment, I dropped the chain, and a camera can't even do the most basic hand stability! "
"Forget it, let him switch places with Sun Kai."
Sun Kai is the camera of the No. 1 machine, and the No. 1 machine is fixed on the track and strokes, and there will be no problem if the hand is unstable.
"So be it." Seeing that Li Hua's thirty or forty-year-old men were bowed and silent by their own training, Zhang Yijia was also a little unbearable, waved his hand to let him leave, and he and Chen Ping'an turned around and left.
The two of them just turned around. Chen Ping'an heard Li Hua's excited voice behind him, and he was a little out of shape: "How about now?" How much has it fallen?3! What the. Still falling?"
Li Hua's voice has become hoarse, giving people a feeling of being trapped in a beast. Zhang Yijia was confused. Chen Ping'an vaguely guessed something.
When he turned around, he saw Li Hua holding the big brother, and he was talking excitedly: "Didn't you say that the U.S. stock market is trending well, why did it suddenly fall so hard!" Sell, clear, clear! What, can't be sold? I cĒo, do you know, my entire net worth has been invested in it! "
Immediately after, Chen Ping'an saw Li Hua's hideous face and red eyes, and smashed the big brother in his hand to the ground.
Bang!
The big brother was torn apart, and Li Hua's face showed a miserable white color. Chen Ping'an walked over and stared at him without realizing until Chen Ping'an spoke: "What happened?"
Li Hua looked at him in despair, and did not answer: "Director Chen, I want to ask for leave. I'm not in the mood to film, I'm sorry ......"
"U.S. stocks plummeted?"
Li Hua nodded silently, turned around and walked into the distance, his back desolate.
"What's the matter, he's speculating in U.S. stocks? Can't stand it if it falls by 3? Even if it falls by 10, it shouldn't be a big problem, right?"
Chen Ping'an's heartbeat began to speed up: "If he plays futures, he will lose all his losses if he falls by 10."
Friday, 16 October 1987. The global stock market crash kicked off with the collapse of U.S. stocks on this day.
Due to the time difference, the Asia-Pacific stock market had already closed at this time, and the market was closed for two days over the weekend, and the New York stock index in the United States plummeted by more than 5,90 points, setting the second largest one-day decline in the history of the New York stock market, known as Black Friday.
And that's just the beginning.
On October 19th, Black Monday was in full swing
[,ļ¼ At 10 a.m. Hong Kong time, the Hong Kong stock market opened on time. As soon as the Hang Seng Index opened, it panicked down 120 points due to the impact of New York, and closed down 235 points at noon. The market closed the day down 420.81 points, closing at more than 10, and the futures index fell by more than 300 points in each month.
The domino effect unfolds from there.
Affected by the collapse in Hong Kong, the Asia-Pacific stock market fell across the board, then expanded to the European market, and finally circled the world back to New York, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell sharply by 508 points, and a global stock market crash began.
In the early morning of October 20, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange announced that from October 20 to October 23, the stock market and futures market will be closed for four days in order to clear a large number of outstanding settlements.
On October 26, Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index reopened. The all-day drop of 33.3 was the largest one-day drop in the world's history. The world was shocked.
In October, the Sydney stock market fell 41.8; London stocks fell 26.4; New York stocks fell 22.6; Toronto stocks fell 22.5; Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index plunged 45.8.
October 28th. Chen Ping'an sat at the dining table, eating the breakfast prepared by the Filipino maid, while reading the newspaper seriously, Xiao An'an didn't hear him call. So Xiao An'an began to complain: "Mommy, godfather doesn't eat well."
A few days ago, "Mom Loves Me Again" was completed, and Chen Ping'an personally handled it and completed the post-editing in three days. Now leave it to someone to dub the soundtrack. Then a banquet was held, and it was solemnly announced that Xiao An'an would be accepted as a godson.
Many celebrities from Hong Kong and Taiwan came to congratulate them, and even Japan's Sanada Hiroyuki rushed to Taiwan to congratulate Chen Ping'an. The success of "Midnight Bell" in Japan not only opened his way to play, let the audience be impressed by his superb acting skills, and made his popularity and fame reach a new high, but more importantly, this drama is about to be released in the United States, and he was invited to the United States to attend the premiere as the leading actor.
Two days later, Chen Ping'an stayed in Taiwan under the pretext of being busy with the post-production and spent the last few days with Zhao Yazhi's mother and son. Tomorrow he will be back in Hong Kong because the Hong Kong premiere of "Midnight Bell" is scheduled for tomorrow night. He had to go back.
The heroes and heroines of "Midnight Bell" Hiroyuki Sanada and Lin Qingxia have already flown to the United States, and they will be accompanied by Sadako actor Li Jiaxin, as well as assistant director Chen Jiashang and other staff members, to cooperate with the film promotion work in the early stage of 20th Century Fox, and to attend the premiere in the United States tomorrow night.
The United States and Hong Kong were released simultaneously, although there was a time difference problem, but there was no time to hit the time difference, and the main cast and crew basically went to the United States. There are only three daughters left in Hong Kong, such as himself and Yuan Jieying, Luo Meiwei, and Chen Jialing. He had to go back to attend or this premiere would be meaningless.
"Yo he. The little one is going to complain, be careful that I don't tell you a story tonight."
"Mommy. Godfather scares me! "
"An An, if he dares not to tell you a story, Mommy will clean him up." As he spoke, Zhao Yazhi was like him, and snatched the newspaper, "Eat, don't infect An An with your words and habits. Why do you suddenly like to watch financial news these two days? Or the stock market?"
Chen Ping'an ate the remaining half of the fried egg in his mouth, and made a grimace at Xiao An'an, and then said to Zhao Yazhi: "I can't help but look, how many people are paying attention!"
"That's right, I heard that many people in the circle have lost their money and are frantically taking on the show to pay off their debts."
With a "bang", the knife and fork in Zhao Yazhi's hand fell onto the plate, and she suddenly remembered that Chen Ping'an had borrowed money frantically in the first two days of the month, and sighed in her heart: "You, should you ...... it?"
"That's right." Chen Ping'an poured another half glass of milk for Xiao An'an, "My money is in it."
"It's all in there!" Zhao Yazhi couldn't bear it anymore, got up suddenly, and asked with a nervous expression, "Did you come out?" How much did you lose? Is there a shortfall? Don't borrow from loan sharks, if you don't have enough money to pay it back, I've got some on hand."
Before he finished speaking, Zhao Yazhi turned around and ran upstairs, seeing Chen Ping'an and Xiao An'an stunned, staring at each other with big eyes.
"What did your mommy do? Why don't you even eat?"
"Mommy is full, Mommy eats very little. Godfather, can I not call you godfather in the future?"
"Oh, what do you want to shout?"
"Is it okay to call you Daddy? Xiao Ming next door has a daddy, and I want it too."
Chen Ping'an's heart was excited: "Why me?" Aren't others good?"
"It's not good, An An likes you, are you good at being An An's father?"
"Okay." Chen Ping'an hugged An An and kissed him twice on the face, "Daddy hugging you to find Mommy, okay?"
When Chen Ping'an came to Zhao Yazhi's bedroom with Xiao An'an in his arms, Zhao Yazhi was rummaging through the cabinets, and there were various asset vouchers such as insurance policies, certificates of deposit, bonds, and house books on the table. Seeing him come in, Zhao Yazhi said without raising his head: "You came just in time, I remember why can't I find five million promissory notes?" You can take these things in a moment and see if you can make up for your losses this time."
Suddenly, Chen Ping'an burst into tears...... (To be continued)
