The plane flew for a total of 14 hours and landed at New York's JFK International Airport.

This is the second time Gu Wei has been on a plane for such a long time.

The last time I went to London, I also sat for 11 hours.

In the past, no matter where I went, I could fly around for a few hours at most.

Even if you take a plane frequently, that is, toss a little, you can't talk about tiredness.

Gu Wei pulled his suitcase and walked out with a large army, thinking about when to get a private jet.

There are not many private jets in the entertainment industry now, and they are basically all bigwigs.

Like Cheng Long and Zhao Benshan.

After all, the price is expensive, and the annual shutdown fee, crew salary, etc. after buying it back is a lot of money, which is not something that ordinary celebrities can afford.

Of course, Gu Wei is an exception, with his financial resources, there is definitely no problem with owning a private jet of his own.

The only thing that worries him is that it's only 2015, and there are plenty of investment opportunities in the financial markets and elsewhere.

Every dollar he earns now, invested through various channels, will bring him at least 2 times more returns in a few years.

Like Moutai, Tengxun stocks, and Tesla, the U.S. stock, are all must-earn investment channels that even ordinary people know.

The threshold is low, the upper limit is high, just open an account in a securities company and invest money in it.

And when you want to use money, you can do it at any time.

With the huge volume of trillions of Moutai and Tengxun in the future, even if Gu Wei invests more money, he is not afraid of being trapped.

Maybe the stock speculation may become a shareholder, but the value must be rising all the time.

Even if it seems to cost a lot of money to buy a house in Beijing, Shanghai and other places, he knows that after a few years, the price of housing will skyrocket, and it will not be a problem for the value of the house under his name to double.

Buying a plane is different, the price is at least hundreds of millions, and the only role is to travel conveniently, even if the first class is definitely not as comfortable as a private jet.

Don't think about appreciation or anything, this thing is the same as buying a car, it will depreciate when you get it, and it is completely only the use value.

Of course, this is all his previous thoughts, and to be honest, there are some petty citizen thoughts.

After these two long-distance flights, he also figured out that money can never be earned, and his comfort is the most important thing.

What's more, he just had a very large amount of investment income coming in this year.

Since the end of 14 years, the domestic stock market has risen like a golden slate, and in just half a year, the Shanghai Composite Index has risen from more than 2,000 points to a maximum of more than 5,100 points.

Stock speculators shouted that the bull market was coming, and at that time, as long as they invested money in the stock market, they would make money with their eyes closed.

It even brought a wave of national stock speculation.

It's just a pity that people are not good in every way, and flowers are not red for 100 days.

On June 15, the stock market crash began, and the Shanghai Composite Index suddenly turned downward from a high of 5170 points, the trend weakened, and the stock market crash officially came.

The market has entered a panic, and individual stocks are even more panicked, and they have continued to fall to the limit.

Starting from June 15, a total of 52 trading days, of which 21 trading days the index fell sharply or plummeted, there were 17 times 1,000 shares down limit, 1,000 shares down limit is nothing, but there have been several times 2,000 stocks down limit, this is A shares!

That's right, this is the 15-year stock market crash that Gu Wei remembers in the original time and space.

It is also a turning point in his life from a rich second generation with a wealthy family to a negative second generation.

Subsequently, he experienced the closure of his father's factory, the family house was sold, and the family of three moved to a rental house with only a few dozen square meters.

His life was completely turned upside down.

The major blow also made Gu Wei mature overnight, and the whole person became silent.

After graduating, he devoted himself to endless part-time jobs.

Fortunately, he worked hard enough, and his father, who had made a big mistake, woke up in time, lifted his spirits again, and a few years later, through the efforts of the family, he paid off all his foreign debts and started a beautiful and hopeful life again.

Again, this stock market crash is nothing to Gu Wei.

He once called home and knew that his father was still trading stocks, just a small fight, and it was not as crazy as the original time and space mortgage real estate loan stock speculation.

It's right to think about it, knowing that his son makes hundreds of millions of dollars by making a movie, the income from stock speculation will naturally not be taken into account by Gu's father, and it has completely become entertainment to pass the time.

In the face of such historic nationwide financial fluctuations, Gu Wei is as small as an ant, and even if he has foresight, he can't change anything.

Of course, it's okay to make a little money with this wave of east wind.

As early as the end of 2014, he found a special securities manager to help him lay out A-shares.

invested about 200 million yuan and entered the market when the market was more than 2,000 points.

All the funds were scattered into more than 10 stocks, including demon stocks that had risen more than ten times in his memory, and some blue chips that had only risen less than twice even in a bull market.

Half a year later, when the Shanghai Composite Index reached 4,500 points, he instructed the manager who managed his funds to start slowly liquidating and recovering the funds.

At that time, his key account manager also advised him to wait, and the stock market would go up.

Even the general manager of the Galaxy Securities branch where he opened an account found Gu Wei and confirmed with him whether he wanted to liquidate all of them.

After getting Gu Wei's confirmed answer, the staff had no choice but to liquidate more than 10 stocks within half a month according to his request.

At this time, the market is still very hot, and countless funds enter A-shares every day.

The daily turnover of the stock market is hundreds of billions, and Gu Wei still sells this money in half a month, and he can't make a splash in the market at all.

The cost of the last 200 million became 1.1 billion after half a year, with a net profit of 900 million.

Part of this money was bought by him again in the shares of Moutai and Tengxun, and part of it was also considering other investments.

Now it seems that buying an airplane is a good choice, you don't have to invest to make money, and it's good to improve your life.

Outside the airport, the motorcade of director Sophie's pick-up was lined up.

This is the first time Gu Wei and her have met, and in China before, in addition to making calls and sending messages, they have only seen each other's looks in video conferences.

Sophie is in her 40s, ordinary-looking, thin, not tall, wearing a professional suit, and looks very energetic.

“BOSS~

The hotel has been arranged, we can go now.

Those arriving on subsequent flights are also being received by others. ”

There was no superfluous greeting when they met, and Sophie spoke simply and directly.

Gu Wei nodded.

"Good work!"

After speaking, he followed her into the car.

"The personnel on the union side have been found, and the movie will be officially launched when they arrive tomorrow.

My wife, Mu Cong, landed yesterday and has arranged for him to stay in the hotel."

After getting in the car, Director Sophie kept reporting to Gu Wei about the preparations in New York, and all aspects of the arrangements were clear and clear.

"Very nice, Sophie.

It seems that inviting you to join is the most correct decision for this shoot. ”

Gu Wei praised.

Hearing Gu Wei's words, Sophie, who was sitting on the side, did not speak, and a slight smile appeared on her face.

Although she is a Chinese-American, she is different from those ABCs who have become completely Americanized, growing up in Chinatown, surrounded by Chinese people with the same yellow skin.

And influenced by her grandfather, who took care of her as a child, she knows where her true roots are.

When she grew up, her work experience made her understand that in this part of the United States, no matter how hard a Chinese American tries, he cannot break through the barriers of class, and there is an invisible wall that blocks their channels for ascension.

Real Americans don't treat them as their own.

And from the time she went to school and later entered the social work, everyone kept talking about racial discrimination, but it was everywhere, especially for yellow-skinned Chinese like her, even worse than black and black.

This time, the crew of [Tang Detective 2] found her, on the one hand, because the other party gave her a really good reward, and on the other hand, she had a good impression of the Chinese people with the same roots.

I hope to have more opportunities for cooperation in the future.

To be honest, she is not very competitive in Hollywood, and there are not many job opportunities in her usual days, and there are very few opportunities like the [Tang Detective 2] crew to be generous and be an assistant director.

Gu Wei sat in the car and looked out the window.

New York is full of cars of all kinds, tall buildings are lined up in the distance, and the Statue of Liberty in Yang Chaoyue's mouth is also in sight, a scene of an international metropolis.

However, when you enter the city, you can see that the buildings in many places are very old, and some of the streets are very dilapidated, with graffiti and garbage thrown everywhere, as if you have entered another city.

Gu Wei frowned slightly, a little worried about the safety of the film.

Sophie saw it on the side and knew what Gu Wei was thinking.

"That's the case with New York, it's a diverse metropolis, it's inclusive, it's multifaceted.

Isn't there a TV drama in China that says so?

'If you love him, take him to New York, which is heaven; If you hate him, take him to New York, where it's hell'

Actually, it's quite pertinent.

It's a paradise for the rich and a hell for the poor.

New York is huge, Manhattan and Long Island are wealthy neighborhoods, populated by lawyers, doctors, bankers, and businessmen, and the law and order is very good.

Brooklyn has the largest slum in New York, mainly inhabited by blacks, and there are frequent shootings and robberies.

But don't worry, most of the locations we shoot are New York landmarks, and the security is very good. ”

Gu Wei nodded and did not speak.

Soon, the team arrived at the place where the crew stayed, although it was not a five-star luxury hotel, but looking at the exterior decoration, the conditions were still relatively good.

After checking in, Gu Wei also met the Japanese actor Satoshi Kiki, who arrived early.

He doesn't have many shots in [Tang Detective 2], but the follow-up third Tokyo chapter will become the main supporting role.

For the script of the original [Tang Detective 3], Gu Wei will definitely not copy it, and there will be more changes than the second part.

But he doesn't plan to change the place where the story takes place in Tokyo.

His wife, Mu Cong, knew that the crew had arrived, so he waited at the hotel on purpose, and shook hands and bowed respectfully after seeing Gu Wei.

"Don't be so polite, I'll have your role when I start tomorrow, play well, I'm optimistic about you~"

As he spoke, he gently patted his wife, Mu Cong, on the shoulder.

After all, it is one of the big matches in the third part, and his performance in the original version is also very exciting, Gu Wei has a good impression of him.

Mu Cong, his wife, who originally communicated with Gu Wei in English, was very surprised when he heard that Gu Wei opened his mouth and spoke fluent Japanese, and immediately converted to Japanese.

"Director, your Japanese is so good, very pure Tokyo accent!"

"Occasionally, I have time to learn, and it's not very difficult~"

Gu Wei said modestly with a smile on his face.

After the [Language] skill appeared in his previous panel, [English] became a sub-item under the big category.

Later, he tentatively found a teacher to learn some Japanese and Korean.

Sure enough, a new [Japanese] [Korean] skill item appeared under the [Language] skill.

Don't hesitate, just use XP to point them to [Mastery].

It is conceivable that according to this law, as long as Gu Wei wants to, he can be proficient in all the languages on earth and become a real language master.

Even if you don't become a star or a translator, you don't have to worry about running out of food.

Hehe, just thinking about it, I guess no one can afford to use a translator of his value.

"Awesome~Awesome~"

His wife, Mu Cong, exclaimed.

At this time, other people who had just entered the hotel also heard the two chatting.

Liu Yifei was surprised, he had known Gu Wei for so many years, but he didn't know that he still had this skill.

She has a great talent for language learning, and she has lived in an environment where she has been fluent in both Chinese and English.

Later, she signed a contract with Sony Music and went to Japan to release records, and she also taught herself Japanese for a period of time, barely usable but definitely not as familiar as Gu Wei.

It was because of her studies that she knew how difficult it was to become proficient in a language.

Gu Wei separated from his wife Mu Cong, and Liu Yifei came to him.

"I've known you for so long, I didn't know you could speak such authentic Japanese.

Being able to write songs in English is not a problem to explain English.

You are so hot, you are usually so busy, how can you have time to learn these languages? ”

"Ahem~

Did you know that there is a kind of person called genius?

Unfortunately, it's just below! ”

Gu Wei said unceremoniously, looking like Lao Tzu's best.

Liu Yifei looked at his face and pouted.

"Say you're fat, you're still panting.

Great genius, can you tell me what else you don't know about? ”

"Sister Yifei, I'm called a treasure boy, and the longer I get in touch, the more I will discover new things, just like digging up a treasure full of treasures.

You can slowly experience it in the future~"

After speaking, Gu Wei ignored Liu Yifei's reaction, left her and walked straight to the hotel.

"Treasure boy?

Aquaman! The sea is also full of treasures.

I don't think there will be less girls digging up your treasure! ”

Looking at Nazha who was following behind Gu Wei, Liu Yifei frowned slightly and complained.

After arriving at the place, Gu Wei did not completely rest.

When the follow-up flights arrived, he gathered the main creative staff, and everyone spent a moment discussing the shooting plan for the whole day tomorrow.

Whether it's the camera crew, the recording crew, the art crew or the actors, if you have any questions, try to deal with the problems that may affect the filming schedule before shooting, after all, every extra minute of filming here, the budget is burning.

If you don't need more, everyone will only discuss tomorrow's day's work, and in the future, this kind of thing will be used as a fixed link, and it will be carried out every day after completing the day's shooting tasks.

After about an hour, seeing that no one spoke anymore, Gu Wei announced the adjournment of the meeting.

"Baoqiang, I see that you brought an assistant when you came out this time, didn't the agent follow?"

Seeing Wang Baoqiang, who was about to leave, Gu Wei thought of something and suddenly asked.

"No, there are still some things to deal with in China."

"Will my sister-in-law come to visit the class during this time?"

When it came to his lover, a trace of tenderness flashed on Wang Baoqiang's honest face.

"It's only been 40 days, and it's not too long, so I won't toss her, there are still children to see at home."

Gu Wei nodded and said no more.
