Chapter 446 It doesn’t matter, I will take action (5k)
"Hey, have you heard? President Gao just said in front of the media that the box office of "Crazy Stone" will be 100 million."
"It's fake, how dare you shout '100 million'!"
"That's right, the cost of this film is less than 10 million. Ning Hao is just a new director. I only know Wu Zhenyu in the cast. The others are either third-tier or eighteenth-tier. If the box office can exceed 30 million, it will be good."
"..."
Watching the main creators on the stage chatting about their filming experiences, the star guests, audience and media below were all talking and chattering.
Fan Erbing glanced aside calmly. From Wang Zhongjun to Feng Pong, from Wang Shuo to Ye Jing, there were prominent figures in Beijing circles, all with different expressions, either contemptuous or surprised.
"100 million, brag! There's no tax on bragging anyway."
Ye Jing remembered that Lu Fei had let them down, and he held a grudge in his heart, and uttered a few sarcastic words without mercy.
"If just by talking, the box office can exceed 100 million, then why do we need to do it? In the whole mainland, I remember Zhang Zimou, who is engaged in decoration, and you two, Pants, have exceeded 100 million, and even Mr. Kai has not."
Wang Shuo hugged Xu Jinglei and curled his lips: "Is that what happened, pants?"
Feng Pengtong lowered his eyebrows and responded, "But Mr. Lu is backing Mr. Gao. I can't say for sure. What if it breaks..."
"Impossible, absolutely impossible! There is no chance for any of you to do it. If it really happens, I will call you all "I".
Wang Shuo dismissed it and objected angrily.
"We'd better watch the movie first and check the condition first."
Wang Zhongjun spoke and immediately ended the argument.
As the lights in the theater went out, the surrounding area darkened, and gradually became quiet, and you could hear a pin drop.
Gao Yuanyuan couldn't sit still, with nowhere to put her hands. She subconsciously held Lu Fei's arm and didn't let go.
"Don't worry, I will definitely do it if I say I can."
He patted the back of her hand gently and said comforting words.
"Is it really possible to have 100 million?"
Gao Yuanyuan's mind was filled with all kinds of criticisms and doubts, and she was always uneasy.
"I will take action when necessary."
Lu Fei raised his confident lips and raised his eyes to look at the screen.
"Crazy Stone" gets into the rhythm very quickly. It only takes four or five minutes to open, and a car crash scene that is inconspicuous in life can easily make the scene burst into laughter.
In the previous life, I had watched the film countless times and knew many of the scenes and lines by heart. But now, although most of the cast is the same as the original cast, the look and feel is obviously different.
The biggest difference is that there are sufficient funds!
Especially in the villains played by Xu Zheng, the big boss Feng Dong, and the little boss Mike, a arrogant real estate developer, and an international thief with a strong personality, but the budget was not enough.
The gap between people and the poor.
It’s true that poverty limits imagination!
Fortunately, the story itself is brilliant, with lots of laughs and flaws, and it can make the poverty visible to the naked eye go away.
But things are different now. Mr. Lu is here and the money is in place!
The villa Xu Zheng lives in has a yard of several thousand square meters, a lawn, a swimming pool, and a garden rockery. The semi-open garage can park six cars at a time.
Rolls-Royce, Bentley, and finally Mercedes-Benz.
Mazda? Mazda will cause traffic jams!
In the picture, there is an empty shot that lasts for 10 seconds, not only the luxury cars in the garage, but also the entire luxurious villa. It immediately highlights the temperament of Xu Zheng, a real estate nouveau riche.
Even the loser Wang Xun drives a BMW.
The two of them worked together to obtain land for a craft factory and build a building. They promised a lot of money and hired an international thief at a high price. Then, the next scene seamlessly connected to the plane.
Wu Zhenyu was sitting in first class, with his legs crossed, staring closely at a photo and information related to jade, showing an unfathomable smile.
This is what an international thief should look like!
However, after the flight landed, the next second, the style of the painting suddenly changed. Huang Bo and his gang of thieves had their luggage stolen easily, which greatly exceeded the audience's expectations. Is this called professional?
"I'm going to hold my lungs out!"
Wu Zhenyu spit out his chewing gum and said viciously: "The local thieves are so rude!
"Hahaha~"
Originally, the plastic Mandarin that resembled Zha Zhahui was hilarious enough, and the audience burst into laughter. But at the end, there was a clever touch, and the famous joke from "Crazy Racing" was added, and the laughter became even more explosive.
Ning Hao looked around, seeing the effect of the lines he added, and raised a satisfied smile.
Huang Bo poked lightly, "Why did you think of adding this sentence?"
"Mr. Lu added it to me. I can't help but believe it. It's simply wonderful. There's more to come. Keep reading."
Ning Hao smiled mysteriously. In his sight, Brother Dao was carrying a box and swaggering forward. He suddenly stopped and glanced up and down at Huang Bo, who was dripping with anger.
"I said your clothes here are very fancy, do you want to go a sexy route? When you first debut, you should be low-key, low-key!"
"Aren't you making things difficult for me? Why don't you keep a low profile?"
Huang Bo pulled up the eye-catching and large logo on his clothes, "The brand is Givenchy! Where is Ji Fanxi?"
"Eh~"
As soon as this was said, the audience in the back row rolled their eyes and booed.
I even feel uncomfortable wearing Givenchy. Wearing the same brand as a rustic and low-IQ idiot, it’s really a shame!
Some wanted to take off their clothes on the spot, and some were so embarrassed that they could dig out three bedrooms and one living room. Fortunately, the scene where Givenchy was beaten to death was quickly covered up by humorous lines and funny plots.
"You women, you just don't understand that this is the period when my career is on the rise. How can I get away with it?"
"He and I are sorry for each other, but I and you are worthy of each other."
"We are not married, but we have real feelings."
"You really spend a lot of money to pick up girls!"
"You insulted my character and insulted my IQ."
"..."
Every character is full-bodied, every plot is delicate, and every burden is shaken off very successfully. If we say that "Crazy Stone" in the previous life was just a rough jadeite with the best quality, because there was no money, it could only be
Rough work with compromise.
And now, it is an ingenious treasure!
For more than 100 minutes, the audience burst into bursts of laughter, and it basically never stopped from the beginning to the end.
There are even people who have a low point of laughter. They have laughed so hard that they have no energy left in their bodies, and tears are streaming from their eyes, but they still can’t take their eyes away, fearing that they will miss a minute.
It wasn't until the end, when Huang Bo was biting bread and being chased by a chef on an electric bike on a viaduct in a mountain city, running like crazy that the movie came to an end.
"good!"
"Whoosh!"
When the surrounding lights came on, everyone at the scene stood up and applauded in unison. Applause and cheers poured in like a tide to Ning Hao, Huang Bo and others, making the young brothers feel flattered and at a loss.
"What are you doing sitting there stupidly? Get up quickly."
Lu Fei reminded with a smile.
"Oh, oh, yes, yes..."
Ning Hao and Huang Bo felt their legs were weak at the same time after saying a few words. They helped each other stand up. They were so excited that they couldn't express themselves for a long time.
"Young people are to be feared. This Ning Hao has two brushes."
Feng Tongtong applauded and sighed.
"There are two brushes. They are good at cleaning toilets. The price alone can exceed 100 million?" Wang Shuo's tone became more and more contemptuous, and he said disdainfully: "Feng Pants, do you still think it's a good idea?"
"well."
Feng Pengtong shook his head helplessly. Although he wanted to save some face for Lu Fei, he had to say that the film would be a hit but not 100 million.
Even "A World Without Thieves" brought together big-name celebrities from both sides of the Taiwan Strait, including Liu Dehua, Zeng Li, and Ge You, as well as Mr. Lu's rare cameo appearance. This was the first movie that exceeded 100 million in his life.
"Crazy Stone", where did Mr. Lu get his confidence?
However, after the premiere, the movie was officially released in theaters across the country. Unexpectedly, as of midnight that night, in just 4 and a half hours, the box office had totaled 13.73 million.
Not only the entertainment reporters, but also half of the entertainment industry were shocked. They were all filled with puzzled questions as to which link had gone wrong!
As everyone knows, the Internet is now Mr. Lu’s world.
15 million was distributed, and 3 million was used to do linkage activities with Penguin games, various drinks of Qilixiang, and give away free movie tickets, which is equivalent to buying 3 million yuan in tickets.
The rising box office performance is a real hit and a gimmick. With a large number of movie fans pouring into Tieba, QQ groups, etc. from all directions, the film has received rave reviews, making it even more powerful.
Reputation increases day by day due to word of mouth.
Many student gang members who have finished college entrance examination and are on vacation from college, no matter how little they pay attention to it, because everyone has a QQ account, are bombarded by various fancy pop-ups, and they know that there is a domestic black humor comedy movie that is very popular——
"Stone" suddenly transformed and immediately became the biggest hot spot on the entire Internet. It's like not being Chinese if you don't read it. It's like if you don't talk about "Stone", it's like it's out of date and you can't find any topics.
It's only the first weekend, and it has already set off a movie-watching frenzy in society.
During this period, there were no serious competitors, but "The Stone" had more and more screenings scheduled, dominating all prime time slots, with a screening rate as high as 70% and an attendance rate of over 90%.
In most cities, it is already hard to find a ticket!
A residential building in XH District, Shanghai City.
"Mom, give me some money."
Tian Wen stepped on her slippers and ran out of the room quickly, ran to the living room, hugged Tian's mother and said, "I made an appointment with my classmates to watch a movie tonight."
"Male classmate, female classmate?"
Tian Fu immediately put down the newspaper.
"Wenwen, please don't disturb your mother and I, I'm just worried." Tian's mother held the property brochures for various properties in her hands, shopping around, and comparing them constantly.
Tian Wen asked curiously: "What's wrong? Dad, have you offended Mom again?"
"Hey, why does this happen to me? It's your mother who is angry with herself." Tian's father rolled his eyes.
"How did you say this, if it weren't for you!"
Tian's mother gritted her teeth and said angrily: "If you are still looking through the newspaper, stop it. If you look through it again, you won't find anything useful. Just tell me whether our family should buy another apartment?"
"Isn't that what I was thinking? There is no need to rush into buying a house. If you look at the newspapers, some economic experts say that the property market will continue to rise, and some say that macro-control will be implemented and housing prices will fall."
Tian's father turned the newspaper to the financial section and spread it out in front of everyone. These days, whether the property market is rising or falling concerns the hearts of hundreds of millions of people across the country. It is not like a truth that will be understood by future generations -
Housing prices will only get higher and higher!
At this time, there are a bunch of experts who continue to pessimize the Chinese property market. The representative among them is the bricklayer Xie Guozhong, known as Air Force One, who has been promoting the "real estate bubble theory" since 2004.
Two reports on the real estate industry were published in succession, such as "Shanghai real estate may follow the footsteps of Bangkok", which stated that the huge bubble in China's real estate market would burst in a year or two.
As a result, it turned out that a group of people were deceived and stayed on the sidelines, quietly waiting for house prices to plummet before buying the bottom. But I never expected that the clown would be me.
"Then tell me, will it rise or fall?"
Tian's mother was restless and restless, with her hands on her hips.
Tian's father touched his chin, "I think it will fall. You can see that now, the house prices in the Shanghai stock market have not gone up. They have even fallen in Putuo and Baoshan."
Tian's mother said: "If you don't buy a house, you can't put the money in the bank. Wouldn't it depreciate in vain? You will lose money to death. Oops."
Tian's father said weakly: "How about investing in the stock market?"
"Don't even think about it!"
Tian Mu took a look and said angrily: "Have you forgotten how many years your stocks have been locked up? Five years, five years!"
As he spoke, he held out five fingers and became angrier as he spoke: "Do you know how much money our family has lost? After a long wait for the share reform, your stocks were finally able to unwind and you got back some of your capital. Why, you still have
Do you want to be trapped?"
Tian's father is a typical Shanghai-listed husband who is naturally afraid of his wife. He couldn't help shrinking his head and said aggrievedly: "That's not because I have no experience. It's different now. The market is good!
Do you know that since the arrival of the Chinese stock market god in A-shares, the Shanghai Composite Index has risen to 1,200 points? I have a stock investor friend who said he has inside information and knows that the Chinese stock market god has invested in Maotai and Luzhou Laojiao..."
"Okay, okay, don't come here. Listen to me on this matter."
Tian's mother immediately decided to buy gold.
"No, Mom, even I know that the price of gold is falling now. Our teacher said in class that it will probably continue to fall for a while."
As an economics student in college, Tian Wen spoke eloquently and urged her mother not to buy gold and to be careful about losing money.
Tian Mu said: "Children, what do you know? If it falls, you have to buy more. No matter how depreciated gold is, it is still gold. Paper money is just paper. Gold will always be gold."
"Mom~"
Tian Wen wanted to persuade her again, but Tian's father stopped him and said: "It's not bad to buy gold, Wenwen, you are young and you don't understand. When your mother and I were your age, we either didn't have enough to eat or couldn't afford to go to school.
, it was finally re-opened, and prices were rising, and there was a wave of layoffs. I was really afraid of the turmoil, and I was afraid that the money in my hands was not money.
Gold holds its value the best, so what we buy is peace of mind!”
"The old man is right."
Tian's mother immediately picked up the phone and dialed the number and said: "Sister Li, it's me. Yes, do you want to buy gold? Yes, my Xiaotian said that banks can buy gold bars now. Gold is falling and it's very cheap. I think
Why don't we sisters stock up on some?"
Tian Wen watched her mother calling her middle-aged girlfriends one by one, her desire for gold was written all over her face.
She sighed and said, "I'm lazy, Dad, please give me the money. My classmates are still waiting for me."
Father Tian took out his wallet: "Okay, how much do you want?"
"The movie ticket is 30 yuan. In the evening, I will eat KFC with my friends and go shopping. Let's just put it all together and give it 150 yuan."
Tian Wen looked harmless and blinked.
Tian's father said: "What movie has the tickets so expensive?"
""Crazy Stone" is definitely a good movie, and the producer promised to donate one dollar from every ticket to charity. This can be considered an act of love on my part."
Tian Wen said coquettishly: "Dad, dad~"
"Mom has made the decision and can give you 150."
Tian's mother hung up the phone and pressed the number keys while talking.
Tian Wen said excitedly: "Really? Thank you, Mom!"
"Don't get too happy yet. Tomorrow I will go shopping with your mother and aunts in a gold store."
Tian's mother raised her lips: "Hey, Wenwen, do you know what the current price of gold is?"
"It seems to be more than 90 yuan per gram. The international gold price is, per ounce..."
“399.4 US dollars?!”
John Waldron was shocked when he received a call from David Solomon on the other side of the ocean. He never expected that the international gold price could withstand the downward pressure and rise against the trend.
In less than a month, it has risen nearly 1.1%.
David Solomon said: "According to analysis reports from all parties, the futures market has been impacted by the physical market, and there are small shares of gold buying supporting the market."
“What’s the news from the Fed?”
John Waldron frowned while sipping his coffee.
David Solomon replied: "Core inflationary pressures are still very high. As expected, interest rates will continue to rise, and they will be substantial, larger than ever before. The U.S. dollar and U.S. bond yields will continue to rise."
John Waldron pondered without saying a word. The biggest impact on gold prices at the moment will be the Federal Reserve's decision, whether the hawks or the doves will prevail.
"As we now understand, hawks are in the majority." David Solomon laughed, "I have a short-selling plan, but it requires selling the gold reserves of Goldman Sachs and the cooperation of other banks."
John Waldron is very old-fashioned, so I understand it all at once.
First let Goldman Sachs lend gold through international savings banks such as JPMorgan, HSBC, and Deutsche Bank, then establish positions with these banks in the futures market, place short positions, and then sell gold in large quantities in the spot market to hit the price of gold.
By suppressing the international gold price and creating the illusion that gold is plummeting, investors will lose confidence in gold. Those who don't have gold will not invest, and those who have gold will sell it, and sell in a panic.
Make a lot of money by short selling, then buy low-priced positions, and replenish gold in the spot market, rounding off, it is equivalent to a win-win situation.
That’s right, win twice!
He showed a proud and sinister smile and reminded: "Selling alone is not enough, we must try our best to build momentum. First of all, Goldman Sachs will stop all long gold products, give gold a 'sell' rating, and only recommend short gold to our clients.
In addition, to create public opinion, Goldman Sachs is not optimistic about gold..."
"I have already asked someone to write a report on gold futures."
David Solomon groaned with a smile, holding a thick stack of reports in his hand, the title clearly read——
"Accelerating Transformation of the Gold Cycle: Planning for the Fall of Gold Prices".
John Waldron snapped his fingers: "Wary Goode! What's going on with Huaxia Continent? Is he still long in gold?"
"Yeah, according to our informant, he has already gone to the top and firmly believes that the price of gold will rise, and he must make up for his losses."
David Solomon laughed and said: "He has no idea what opponent he is facing, we are Goldman Sachs!
Even God wants to call us God!”
"Very good, he will be fed and accommodated."
John Waldron's eyes flashed fiercely. If America is the beacon of the world, Wall Street is the beacon of America, and the beacon of Wall Street is Goldman Sachs.
Not only can it control the rise and fall of crude oil, but also the price of gold.
Mr. Lu, how dare you point a gun at me and fight with me?
