You don't understand the happiness of the director

As a financial person, Wendy has actually been aware of the problems in the subprime mortgage market for a long time, but no one dares to bet on the collapse of the U.S. housing market. This is tantamount to betting on the collapse of the U.S. stock market and millions of people becoming homeless. That is not a trivial matter. .

But the royal power dares.

If he loses the bet, he still has a film career to replenish his blood. If he wins the bet, it will be dozens of times the profit. He can do many things that he only dared to think about before but was unable to do!

There are many people like Wang Quan who want to short the mortgage bond market. Not to mention John Paulson, who became famous through the subprime mortgage crisis. Michael Berry, the prototype of the protagonist of "The Big Short", even appeared in 2004. I had this awareness when I was a year old.

It's just that he underestimated people's greed, and he didn't expect that it wouldn't collapse until the second half of 2007. Because he went short too early, he paid a lot of premiums and made a lot less money.

As for Wang Quan, he chose the best time to enter the market. In addition to sweeping away the largest number of 3A-level CDS on the market, he also bought a large number of A-level and 2A-level CDS, which can earn more, starting with a hundredfold profit.

Since he established February 2 Investment Management Company and hired Wendy to run the company, they established a WT hedge fund to make profits in the possible subprime mortgage crisis.

Wang Quan is also worried about the butterfly effect, but his little butterfly wings are obviously not strong enough.

At the beginning of 2007, New Century Financial announced that it was on the verge of bankruptcy, and U.S. stocks plummeted. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 2%, the S\u0026P fell 2.04%, and the Nasdaq Composite fell 2.15%.

Next, sales of existing homes in the United States fell 8.4% in March.

S\u0026P downgraded subprime mortgage bond ratings, sending global financial markets into shock.

Bear Stearns' hedge fund is on the verge of collapse!

These were exactly the same as what Wang Quan had seen in the film and television library, and they were perfectly confirmed. This made him finally realize the big stone in his heart. He no longer had to lose money, and he could also make a lot of money!

Thanks to "The Big Short", "The Stealer", "Too Big to Fail" and "Shang Hai Tong Hai"!

In fact, since the beginning of the year, various abnormal indicators have pointed to the subprime mortgage market. All major institutions have realized the seriousness of the problem. By that time, the subprime mortgage crisis should have broken out, but the greed of the capital market did not allow it.

I just held it in and held it in until now. Finally, I couldn't hold it in anymore.

Although the term subprime mortgage crisis has not been officially used yet, Wendy feels that we can declare in advance that the era of subprime mortgage crisis has arrived!

At this time, Wendy had sold a small part of the CDS contract in advance, and secured 500 million in funds to prevent the target bank from going bankrupt and defaulting on its debts. The real hunting moment came later.

Wait until all the money in this wave is recovered, and then wait for opportunities to spread it out. It is inevitable that the stock market will recover, and you will be able to take advantage of it again.

Wang Quan waved his hand and signaled to the assistant director Catherine to continue filming. He would not be able to finish the call in two or three hours.

At this time, Wendy is already in New York with her team. Wall Street, she is finally back!

The financial market is shameless and cruel. Wang Quan should just make his own movie honestly. After being so excited for one day, he still has to do whatever he has to do the next day.

However, it still feels good to have money. Although the money has not yet been put into his pocket, he has already started to contact the real estate agent. Is there any super large villa that cannot be repaid due to bankruptcy? Can you help him pay attention to it? If If the homeowner is willing to lower the price, he can consider it.

After living in an apartment for two and a half years, it’s time to enjoy the decadent capitalist life.

At that time, he and Dorothy would still be neighbors. Although this wave of royal power would make more money, Aunt Wendy would also make less money. Buying a manor villa for her daughter would not be a problem at all.

~

A week has passed since Wendy's phone call, and many employees on the crew are worried. Wang Quan understands that they may all be affected by the subprime mortgage crisis.

He didn't feel much guilt in his heart, because their short selling was against investment banks such as Bear Stearns and Morgan Stanley, and their profits mainly depended on the investment banks' compensation. But there was definitely sympathy, so once he tentatively suggested, "How about weekends?" Shall we work overtime?"

In the past, it was impossible to work overtime. It was impossible to work overtime in this life. What kind of place did the capitalists think the United States was?

But now, their first concern is, "What about overtime pay?"

“It’s enough according to the standard!”

So everyone happily worked overtime and suggested that they could actually work overtime at night!

In order to save their houses, these people are now fighting hard.

It’s just that Little K, who is not short of money, has the most roles in this drama. Every time she works overtime, she is filming her scenes. She also wants to take a rest!

"Okay, take a rest now, little K. Get some sleep as soon as possible, we have to shoot at night."

Little K: "..."

"Hey, Wang Quan~" Liu Yifei called suddenly and called her by her first name. She was so presumptuous, no matter how big or small, no one knew the dignity. Doesn't she know how rich I am now?

Wang Quan was also confused, "I think you can call me Brother Quan. Don't deny that I am two years older than you, unless you change your age."

Liu Yifei: You deserve to be from the same alley as Yang Mi, and you both say the same thing!

But this time Liu Yifei did not struggle, nor did she defend herself with words such as senior sister and junior brother, "Okay, brother Quan."

Oops, it also comes with a "brother", Wang Quan felt comfortable, "What's wrong, Sissi? I'm very happy to hear your tone."

"Well, "The King of Kung Fu" is finished!"

There are no weekends in China. She has been on the set for the past few months and can only rest when she is not filming her scenes. Now she can finally take a long vacation.

That's not right, "I'm going to be a guest star on the set of "Orphans" in a while, and I'll be able to take a complete vacation after finishing this drama!"

Wang Quan asked, "How long do you plan to take for yourself?"

Liu Yifei, "I don't know. During this time, I will read more books to enrich my mind. I may go back to Mahua to perform in a few plays, and then wait for the next script."

According to the original time and space, we might have to wait two years for the next script, which is not that good.

Wang Quan, "The film "October Siege" co-produced by Golden Harvest and Wang Dao will be released soon. If you don't mind the lack of roles, there is a beating girl who you can play."

"It doesn't matter how many scenes you have, but you still have to fight~"

Wang Quan, "What's wrong? You don't want to be a beater anymore?"

"That's not the case. I just want to try a more challenging role, such as a villain or a village girl."

When he heard that Liu Yifei was going to play a village girl, Wang Quan imagined the scene, and the first thing that came to mind was Lin Chiling's "Battle of Shama Town". I felt that it would be really difficult for Liu Yifei to play a village girl without similar make-up.

This does not mean that village girls must be ugly, but if Liu Yifei is not ugly, her temperament is not the same, so it is difficult to be convincing.

Wang Quan, "Well, just think about it."

Liu Yifei snorted, "Stop looking down on others, don't think of me as Wu Xia Amon, this time I played a thief in "The Lost Orphan", it's time for you to see my strength!"

"Thief?" Wang Quan was stunned for a moment, "Why are you playing the thief?"

Wang Quan remembered that the role of the female thief was given to Mimi, as she had more roles and more room for expression.

Liu Yifei smiled and said, "Mimi begged me to exchange it with her."

It turned out that "Time 1997" was launched two days ago, but the female thief's role was to be played later, and the role assigned to Liu Yifei was to be played earlier, which would also delay her filming "The King of Kung Fu".

So the two of them discussed it and decided to change it, so that Yang Mi could complete her cameo before the new drama was launched, and Liu Yifei could carefully figure out the new role after the movie was completed.

This is not a big deal, Wang Quan said, "Okay, then I wish you success. If you want to play a good thief, I suggest you ask Huang Bo for a closer look."

Liu Yifei, "Don't bury me, Brother Bo. When I return to the capital, I plan to squat on the streets to see if I can find someone to observe."

"If you can spot a capable thief, you might as well go find Uncle Yang and take you directly to the detention center for observation. There might be a female thief."

Liu Yifei slapped the table, "This is a good idea. I will contact Mimi right away and ask her to help you until the end!"

In Beijing, in order to facilitate the filming of the main scenes in "Time 1997", the crew built a courtyard directly at the Huairou Film and Television Base.

When Liang Guanhua saw this courtyard, he couldn't help but think of "The Happy Life of Zhang Damin", "It feels more beautiful and beautiful than Zhang Damin's courtyard house."

Yang Mi, who played his daughter, nodded and said, "Of course. This was in 1997. You are too early. The courtyard must be dilapidated. Moreover, our drama is a gift for next year's Olympic Games. Maybe it will also be given to foreign countries." People see it, if it’s in tatters, doesn’t it harm the image of our capital city?”

He Bing on the side chuckled and said, "Teacher Liang, this little girl has a sharp tongue. If you say one sentence, she will have ten sentences waiting for you."

Yang Mi was dissatisfied, "Teacher He, everything I said makes sense, I'm not messing around, right, Teacher Yang, Teacher Wu."

She looked at Yang Lixin and Wu Gang again.

"Ah, yes, yes," the two said in unison.

Liang Guanhua smiled and said, "It's really amazing. According to the script, this is the tyrant of the courtyard. Neither her mother nor I can cure her. Only her sister can deal with her."

Just as he was talking, an elegant girl with a slender neck walked in. She first greeted the teachers who had arrived, then took Yang Mi's arm and called "Sister Mi."

In the play, she plays Yang Mi's sister Fan Wenxuan.

Yang Mi put her arm around the girl next to her affectionately, "Shishi, let's go in and play."

The girl in front of me is called Liu Shishi. She is from Tangren Pictures. She has previously acted in dramas such as "Young Yang Family General" and "Strange Women from a Chinese Studio", especially the role of Xin Shiniang in "A Strange Girl from a Chinese Studio". She was very successful in portraying her. It is also quite famous in the industry.

She was originally filming "Legend of the Condor Heroes", playing the second female lead Mu Nianci, but Hu Ge was nearly killed in a car accident, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was suspended, and she was temporarily out of work.

It happened that a drama was recruiting actresses at this time, and those who were born and raised in the capital were given priority, so the agent pushed her over.

Seeing her, Yang Mi perked up. Isn't this the "Little Liu Yifei" that Tang Dynasty has published several times?

Although I can't let Liu Yifei play a supporting role for me, I can let little Liu Yifei play it!

From the very beginning, Yang Mi had this purpose in mind, so she saved Liu Shishi and made her the second female lead in the youth group.

Later, they met and became familiar with each other, and felt that this girl was very attractive to her. She was carefree and informal, which was completely different from the elegance she usually displayed. Soon they became good sisters.

The two of them didn't talk about the script when they entered the room, they only talked about gossip.

"Have you heard that Nicholas Tse has a son?"

"Ah, whose is it?"

Yang Mi, "Of course Zhang Bozhi gave birth to him!"

Master Liu, "Oh, I'm still stuck in the relationship between Nicholas Tse and Wang Fei."

"Wang Fei gave birth to a child for Li Yapeng, and Dou Wei even burned the paparazzi's car..."

The two good sisters were gossiping when another "good sister" Liu Yifei called and asked Lao Yang for help.

Yang Mi agreed readily, "It's a small matter, I'll tell Lao Yang later."

Master Liu listened briefly and said, "Sister Mi, you and Liu Yifei have a very good relationship."

Yang Mi hugged Master Liu and said, "It's better to stay with you."

Master Liu was happily giggling, but when she turned on the phone, she put on gold-rimmed glasses and became quiet. At such a young age, she actually had a kind of control.

At this moment, two young actresses born in the 1985s in the Mainland started their friendship, and in the kimchi country next door, a girl group called Girls’ Generation also officially debuted.

These have nothing to do with the royal power. He is filming as always. At the same time, he received a notice from the Venice Film Festival that his short film "Black Hole" was shortlisted for the short film unit.

Although this is inevitable, Director Wang gave up Cannes and voted for Venice because he wanted to thank Marco Muller for taking care of him last year. How could he still sneak around and not be shortlisted?

But according to the procedure, notification still needs to be given, and Wang Quan is indeed unavailable. Although he can still squeeze out the time, none of the crew members want to take a holiday or spend the weekend, so he has to comply with the public sentiment.

And it’s just a short film, so there’s no need to take it too seriously.

Of course, he is also worried that some radical film critics in Europe will spit in front of him: It’s just the Twilight Zone you filmed!

So he contacted Xu Zheng through Wangdao Pictures. If he was free and willing to make a trip, the company could bear his flight costs, food and accommodation expenses, and let him go to Venice to attend the awards ceremony.

Xu Zheng said that he was very free. He felt that being able to participate in such a film event would be particularly beneficial to his future development in the film industry.

Although Wang Quan did not have time to attend the Venice Film Festival, he still had time to participate in "Rush Hour 3". The crew members were stretched too long, so they might as well take a day off.

So Wang Quan took the opportunity to return to Los Angeles and attend the premiere of the movie distributed by New Line Cinema.

In fact, Cheng Long was not having a satisfactory life in Hollywood at this time. The negative impact of "Around the World in Eighty Days" was still there. No, in the first two films, he was an actor, but this one gave way to the black Chris · Tucker was reduced to a second role, and his salary was lower than that of Lao Hei, but it is said that the box office share was still higher than that of Lao Hei.

On the red carpet, Wang Quan attended with Alexandra Daddario. Daddario's dress fully showed her advantages.

She didn't have much of a role in the Twilight sequel. After all, they had a good relationship with each other, so Wang Quan took the opportunity to make up for it and give her some exposure~

There are indeed a lot of exposures now, and the flashlight keeps pointing at them. Zhang Jingchu, who is alone in the back, is envious~
