Chapter 534: The Gambler
Newark, Delaware's third-largest city and home to the University of Delaware, is a quiet and relaxing city of entertainment, shopping, and sightseeing.
The main studio of "Spider-Man" is located in a deserted industrial park at the foot of the county mountain.
When Zhou Yang first arrived, it was a messy place, full of disgusting smell of waste, and at a glance, there were countless tents and homeless people standing on the side of the road.
When "Spider-Man" was filmed, the messy and unpleasant smell of waste here was slightly trimmed, and there were a lot fewer homeless people along the way.
They were all pulled by Zhou Yang into the "Spider-Man" movie, or as extras, or as coolie employees in the crew.
Of course.....
Some homeless people also gave Zhou Yang and others a headache, after coming to the crew, not only did they not work hard to make some money, but they also played all kinds of tricks and laziness.....
"Some people become homeless because they are bankrupt, but some people are rotten people, enjoying government subsidies, living in a mess, and never having any ambition.....
For these people, Li Qiang felt extremely disgusted, and once let the crew fall into a headache lawsuit, but fortunately, the police and legal personnel in Delaware have long been surprised by these things, and let these people shout, symbolically let them out as peacemakers, and let this matter settle down.
Although the incident has subsided, I don't know what happened, since April, the number of unemployed people in the entire state of Delaware has begun to increase, and more and more people have become homeless.
April 28.
Li Qiang was busy with part of the editing of "Spider-Man".
When he was done and returned to the office, he wanted to lie down in bed and take a good rest. But he received a call from a friend in the U.S. financial circle.
When I first received the call, my face was full of disbelief, even ridiculous, and I felt that my friend was joking.
But after hearing that friend's very serious voice, Li Qiang's heart suddenly began to chuckle, and after a long time of uncertainties, he thought that after the Star Ocean Cinema Line, which was losing money yesterday, got another theater in California, his whole face suddenly changed!
He didn't care about the fatigue of a busy day, and hurriedly ran towards Zhou Yang's office. "Mr. Zhou, something is going to happen to Lao Mei!"
"I don't know what's going to happen, but it's going to go down in history!"
"I'm not sure what this crisis is, but a lot of people are going to be finished!"
He rushed in breathlessly, and after seeing the calm Zhou Yang, he did not sit down immediately, but said nervously.
"What's the matter?"
Zhou Yang sat in front of the computer, touched his somewhat dry eyes, and then stood up.
During this period of time, filming "Spider-Man" day and night has almost emptied Zhou Yang's energy. After seeing Li Qiang rushing in in a hurry, his heart couldn't help but tense.
"Have you heard of the subprime mortgage crisis? It was the bubble economic crash of the year of R, the real estate crash, the stock market plummeted, and countless people lost their jobs, went bankrupt, and jumped off buildings!"
Li Qiang took a sip of water and began to desperately explain a series of terms in front of Zhou Yang, and then for fear that Zhou Yang would not understand, he began to tell all kinds of cases and stories in great detail.
Zhou Yang listened carefully, and his originally hanging heart began to slowly relax..... Then he frowned slightly, and recalled the 08 years of the original world in his mind.
In the 08 years of the original world, in addition to the Olympic Games, China also had snow disasters and earthquakes..... And the United States ......
It's the financial crisis.
Financial crisis, Zhou Yang has seen a movie from Lao Mei before, in which someone gives the protagonist a USB flash drive, and the information in the USB flash drive explains the financial crisis in detail.
And this world, when Zhou Yang discovered Huaxia except
After the snow fell a little heavier and there was no power outage, Zhou Yang did not take the so-called financial crisis to heart.
But after seeing Li Qiang's hurried appearance, he suddenly realized that the beauty of this world is really likely to experience a financial crisis again.
Although Li Qiang is the person in charge of the crew, responsible for the overall control of the film and the crew in the later stage, he has a very keen ability in finance, and after coming to Lao Mei, he has been dealing with a group of people in the financial circle during his break. "If the financial crisis really breaks out, then the entertainment industry, especially the secondary consumer industry, is very likely to shrink significantly, Mr. Zhou, let's calm down, be rational, don't pay more money into the theater, this gamble, the price is too great, we can't afford to lose!"
Li Qiang and Zhou Yang analyzed a lot of things in detail, from the property market, stock market, industry prospects, to the entertainment industry, and then to movies.
The eager, murderous voice echoed throughout the conference room, and the whole body was so excited that the whole body was trembling desperately.
"Bang Bang"
"Come in....."
A knock on the door interrupted Li Qiang's voice, and then the door opened, and Xu Mei also rushed over with an ugly face and trotting all the way with information and data.
"Mr. Zhou, I heard some gossip that I don't know if it's true or not, and some predators on Wall Street seem to be unable to hold on..... A bomb is going to explode!"
Xu Mei was stunned by Li Qiang, and hurriedly ran over, although she didn't know what this future portended, but the whole person had a sense that the building was about to collapse.
Zhou Yang took the information.
After watching it for a long time, he didn't get nervous, he just closed his eyes and tried to review some trivial things. I try to recall the '08 years of the original world and the Hollywood movies of the second half of '08.
The original U.S. financial turmoil that broke out in September affected not only the financial market, but even all walks of life in the United States were severely hit, and the impact on the entertainment industry, which belongs to optional consumption, was naturally very obvious, from the moment of the outbreak of the financial crisis, the Hollywood film market took a sharp turn like the curve of the stock market, during which Hollywood blockbusters and major movies began to be delayed or postponed, and the whole September was the lowest point of the year.
And the world .....
It seems that the financial turmoil is coming in advance!
It is even very likely that "Mr. Zhou!" was ..... before and after the release of "Spider-Man". It's too late to stop the precipice!"
"Don't expand anymore, everyone is in a state of panic during the financial crisis, the film industry is going to shrink, and when it's cold, we can't go back to the pre-liberation period one day!"
There was a long silence in the office. Li Qiang finally spoke again.
Zhou Yang listened silently after opening his eyes, and then signaled that he knew, and let the two leave the office. Li Qiang nodded and left the office with Xu Mei.
In the evening, he heard news that almost made him angry.
Zhou Yang not only did not reduce the expansion of the cinema chain, but even took advantage of this stall to invest in several cinema chains.
"This man is crazy!"
"I've been so detailed, why is he still like this!" "Oh my God, I don't know what to say!" "What a madman, I won't persuade him anymore!"
[Huaxing has completely emptied his family! 】
【Gamblers! A real gambler, just a line away from bankruptcy! 【Zhou Yang is completely crazy! 】
[Evil Omen, Zhou Yang has been cast by Indian wizards since filming "Spider-Man"! ] 】【.....】
April came to an abrupt end. May is coming.
Zhou Yang's news has exploded the entire entertainment and financial circles.
An insider broke the news that Xingyang Cinema lost nearly 10 million yuan in April..... Someone took a photo at the entrance of Xingyang Cinema.
The surroundings are empty, except for the Chinese and some Chinese students, no one enters the theater to watch a movie, others are like a city, he is a human being
Off the beaten track.
But in such a state......
Xingyang Cinemas has been expanding wildly.
Miao Miao and Zhou Yang, the bosses of the Soku video platform, invest money in Xingyang Cinemas almost every day, ranging from millions to hundreds of millions.....
Some people in the industry analyzed that all the money Huaxing has made in recent years has been invested in Xingyang Cinemas. "This man is crazy!"
"It's death!"
"This kind of operation is really like being evil, not only dying yourself, but also dragging others to die together?"
"He's too inflated, in a few months, no, in a month or two, you'll see their jokes!" Yanjing Airport.
Feng Minrui followed Zhao Sicheng back from the United States, and when he just got off the plane, he saw the news of Xingyang Cinema. Feng Minrui didn't know whether to be surprised or speechless for a while.
The corners of Zhao Sicheng's mouth went up, and his face was full of sarcasm: "Hollywood has basically banned his movies, he wants to turn the tables and make his own theaters, just like a gambler, or like a drowning man who grabbed the last straw, after grabbing the straw, can he let go?"
Both were happy along the way.
This is the happiest day for the two after "Wolf Blood" was rectified.
For Feng Rui, this day is even a double happiness!
Feng Minrui got a green card......
He donated a large sum of money to a charity in Los Angeles, got a green card, and then followed Zhao Sicheng's advice, a few houses, and a few stocks.
Some time ago, the stock market and housing market in the United States were very crazy, Feng Minrui made a small amount of money ruthlessly, and after making money, he began to indulge in stock speculation, this thing is just like gambling, which makes people haunting and passionate every day.
"It's up two points today!"
Feng Minrui finished reading the stock and was about to turn off his mobile phone when the phone rang. ...... on the other end of the phone
He was told to get rid of his stocks and properties, and told him that the stock market was about to go to earthquake.
But Feng Rui laughed.
"It's going to be over today, so I'll throw it tomorrow!"
"It's too late tomorrow, there's going to be a thunderstorm on Wall Street!"
"Alarmist, this is the fake news released by some capital!"
