It's reasonable for me, a stuntman, to live a crazy life, right?

Chapter 807: A vast expanse of green, a joke from God!
As soon as Chen Fei returned to Beverly Hills from the studio, he appeared on domestic news websites.

Looking around, at this moment, not only the entertainment industry, but even the entire Internet has exploded!

In the turbulent ocean of A-shares, a storm has arrived!

The mood of stock investors is like a ship on the sea, rising and falling with the waves, with worry and helplessness intertwined into a heavy picture.

"What's going on? What on earth is going on?"

Such doubts are heard one after another on social media!

The dynamics of the A-share market touches the hearts of every investor, and everyone is anxiously watching every change in the numbers.

"Less than half an hour after the opening, the Shanghai Composite Index plunged more than 5000 points, and is now approaching points..."

The news released by the media in real time is like a bucket of cold water poured over one's head, chilling one's heart.

The continuous decline of the ChiNext Index is even more frightening. The strings of numbers seem like a bottomless pit, devouring the confidence of investors!

"3900, 3800, 3700, 3600...it's still falling!"

Along with the turbulence of A-shares, the collective shutdown of popular industries such as the Internet, finance, and cultural media has added fuel to the fire, exacerbating market turbulence.

In the film and television industry, Huayi, as a leader, has become the target of public criticism due to its plummeting market value.

Media reports continue to emerge:
"In less than an hour, Huayi's market value of nearly 800 billion has completely evaporated. The market value has dropped to billion, and it is still falling..."

"Guangguang's market value has shrunk to 180 billion, and nearly 30 billion has evaporated out of thin air!"

"The market value of many companies such as Tangde Films, Huace Films, and Great Wall Films has plummeted, and everything is bleak!"

"..."

As news reports came out frequently, at this moment, many people on the Internet were sighing: "I didn't expect that these industries that were once so prosperous would now suffer a Waterloo."

Looking around, in this market crash, A-share indices such as the Shanghai Composite Index, Shenzhen Composite Index, and ChiNext Index were all in the red!
The worries and helplessness of stock investors are becoming more and more intense, as if they were being sucked into an endless abyss by this storm!

On the sofa, Liu Yifei looked at the plate in surprise: "Wow! It's all green!"

Although she didn't know much about the stock market, she knew "green" and "red".

"Well, it all collapsed."

Chen Fei nodded, his eyes subconsciously sweeping over banks, oil, and insurance.

The word "tragic" alone is not enough to describe the trend of plummeting stock prices of these companies.

The market value of stocks has plummeted, and no one can remain immune. Each one is worse than the other!

Not to mention other industries, just looking at the film and television industry, there are also corpses everywhere.

Many film and television companies hit the limit down at the opening, and those big directors, actors, and stars who already had capital had lost tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars in assets out of thin air!
Of course, capital like Huang Xiaoming's, which focuses on "investment business", happens not to fall into the category of "bad luck".

However, they certainly cannot remain immune to the consequences, and their losses have also reached a point that makes them distressed!

"This is not just a small fluctuation, this is a pure stock market crash!"

Fade Chen murmured, and a long-lost memory suddenly came to his mind.

If you think about it carefully, the last time the market experienced such a crash was when the U.S. stock market crashed, and it was with the help of that opportunity that he successfully achieved financial freedom.

Liu Yifei looked over curiously: "Will you be affected too?"

Chen Fei nodded slightly: "Yes, Longxiang Capital will definitely be affected, but I have been prepared for it. The loss is not that big and is just within the controllable range."

"Hehe, that's good."

Liu Yifei breathed a sigh of relief, lifted his arms, buried her little head in his arms, and stared at him with her watery eyes.

Fade Chen looked at her curiously, "What's wrong?"

Liu Yifei pouted and acted coquettishly, drawing circles on his chest: "Since you are not affected too much, then let's not pay attention to the news, okay? It's getting late, we should rest, we have to get up early to catch the plane tomorrow."

"Hey? Are you that impatient?"

"No way. I just think you're so tired from filming, you should rest early."

"Haha, okay, let's go to bed early. Let's go take a shower together first."

"Hehe, great! I can promise you a new position tonight! Just consider it as a reward for you before we part!"

Hearing this, Fade Chen's pace quickened, his face full of impatience!
……

After a night of hard work, the next day, Chen Fei got up early and sent Liu Yifei on the plane back home.

"Remember to send me a message as soon as you get back. See you in the UK."

"Okay, got it. See you in England. Bye..."

Liu Yifei yawned and waved behind her, and her pretty figure soon disappeared at the boarding gate.

After leaving the airport, Fade Chen returned to the villa and ate breakfast while reading domestic news.

There are still many people discussing stock market related news on the Internet.

After experiencing a whole day of plummeting, the "leeks" are in a very bad mood now. From time to time, words such as "bankruptcy", "see you on the rooftop", "I regret it so much" and so on appear on the Internet.

At this "crisis" moment, experts from the China Securities Regulatory Commission once again jumped out and made many remarks.

One of the remarks was unanimously recognized by many people.

"Investors, don't be nervous. This is an automatic adjustment caused by the rapid rise of the A-share market. It is a normal regulation state and will recover soon..."

"puff!"

The soy milk in Chen Fei's mouth sprayed out directly.

Normal control? Automatic recovery? You are just dreaming!
"Alas, poor leeks."

After sighing, Chen Fei turned his attention to the specific summary of the domestic film market in June.

The movie "The Worst Person in the World", which he directed and starred in, has grossed over 11 million yuan after 4 days of release, but the daily box office revenue has fallen back to 1065 million.

As for the movie "Youngsters" released at the same time, its total box office is only 5060 million, and the daily new box office has dropped back to 100 million. It is estimated that it will be officially taken offline in the next two days.

The box office of "Big Time Maverick" reached 5 million after five days of release, but unfortunately the daily box office revenue had dropped to 2.15 million.

Currently, "Jurassic World" is still in the leading position, with an overall reputation score of 9.1 and a total box office of 12.05 billion. That's amazing!

However, with the official arrival of the summer vacation, this forward momentum is unlikely to last long.

"The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain" will be released in domestic theaters tomorrow.

Chen Fei was still very curious. He didn't know how "good" the first-day box office would be for this movie by the great poet Chen, which opened the curtain of the domestic summer movie season.
……

After breakfast, Fade Chen went straight out and headed towards Lucasfilm.

His flight is at 8:30 in the evening, which is still very early.

Taking advantage of the free time he had during the day, he planned to go to Lucasfilm to see the finished film "Star Wars: The Force Awakens".

As a subsidiary of Walton Pictures, Lucasfilm has developed quite well in recent years.

In the second half of this year alone, two film projects are about to be launched.

One of them is "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" and the other is "Geostorm".

Chen Fei is optimistic about both film projects, especially "The Force Awakens", which he believes will not lose to "Jurassic World", which is currently ranked No. 2015 in the 2 North American box office rankings.

The current North American box office of "Jurassic World" is 6.53 million, and Chen Fei expects the North American box office of "The Force Awakens" to be 7 million US dollars.

He believes that with the popularity of the "Star Wars" IP and the quality and potential of "The Force Awakens", this goal should be achievable.

As for the film that currently ranks No. 1 in the North American box office rankings, it is naturally "Avengers: Age of Ultron".

With a performance of US$9.86 million, it stands out from the crowd!
...

At the same time, outside the Warner Studios, things were bustling again.

Today is a good day for the "Ben-Hur" crew, because the crew, which had been suspended for a week, finally resumed filming today!

Johnny Depp spent a whole week in the hospital, but now he has finally recovered and can return to filming.

Megan Ellison rushed to the set early in the morning to coordinate the overall situation. With the smooth progress of the post-production of "King Arthur: Legend of the Sword", she could no longer tolerate the "indulgence" of "Ben-Hur".

No matter what, the film has to be completed before August!
After arriving at the set at 7 o'clock, Megan Ellison began to wait for Depp's arrival, ready to have a good communication with him.

But it was already 9 o'clock and that guy still hadn't arrived!
"Call Depp. Why is he late today? What is he doing?" Megan's voice became colder and colder. She really couldn't understand why there would be such uncooperative actors in Hollywood?
Lauder, who was standing nearby, quickly took out his cell phone and called Depp.

Unfortunately, sadly, no one answered the phone.

Helpless, Megan had to take out her mobile phone and call the "insider" Amber Heard.

This time the call did go through, but Amber's words plunged the entire crew into silence.

"After Depp was discharged from the hospital last night, he gathered a group of friends to celebrate at the bar. He has not returned home yet. He didn't answer my calls and I couldn't contact him at all."

"Damn it! Damn this guy!"

Megan threw the phone down and yelled at Lauder, "Go! Go to Depp's bar right now. I want to ask him if he can afford the cost of breach of contract!"

At this time, Depp, who had just woken up from a hangover, was taking drugs in a bar box with a group of his friends.

"Today's batch of goods is very pure. After taking a sip, I feel so refreshed!"

Listening to Depp's words, one of the younger brothers chuckled and said, "Boss, this batch of goods is high-quality goods sent from Little St. James Island!"

"Hmm?" Depp was slightly stunned, and then a hint of reverie suddenly appeared on his face: "I haven't been to the island for a long time. It seems that after the filming of this movie is finished, I have to go to patronize Jeffrey Epstein's business."

Hearing this, several younger brothers showed envious expressions on their faces.

They had all heard Depp say that Little St. James Island was a paradise of enjoyment and decadence, where there was nothing they couldn't do, only ways of playing you couldn't imagine.

It’s a pity that in order to go to that island, besides being rich, you also need to have enough influence.

Except for Depp, none of them are qualified to go.

The few of them did not discuss this issue in depth. After all, there were some taboos in that place.

After the drug was finished, when they were in high spirits, a younger brother suddenly said, "Johnny, are we just going to put up with being beaten and slandered?"

Depp paused, his highly excited spirit immediately aroused his anger.

Thinking back to the days he had spent in the hospital, he became furious!

Ever since Pirates of the Caribbean was released, who in Hollywood hasn't praised him? When has he ever been humiliated so much?

"I can't stand this! I absolutely can't stand this! I want revenge! I'm going to take revenge starting today!"

A group of younger brothers turned their heads and looked at him: "Johnny, what should we do? We will follow your command!"

Depp showed a sneer on his face: "Isn't that crew next door to us? In that case, let's buy a few buckets of paint, rush in and splash them on their set, and teach them a lesson first!"

“Okay, that’s a great idea!”

"Throw blood all over their heads!"

"Hahaha, I'm going to buy some red paint, pour it into their crotches, and dye their bird feathers red..."

A group of people rushed out of the bar, chattering, bought paint, and headed straight for the studio.

However, not long after they left, Megan Ellison and a group of people from the crew rushed in from outside the bar.

"Where's Depp! Ask him to come out..."

As soon as she entered the door, Megan Ellison shouted angrily.

The bartender came out after hearing the noise, looked at the group of people curiously, and explained, "Depp has left the bar."

Megan was stunned: "Where did he go?"

"They seem to be clamoring to go to some film studio... to cause trouble..."

"Oh! My God! Damn it! Are you going to make me pay again?"

Megan Ellison's face changed drastically, and she quickly led a group of people to rush towards the studio area again, intending to stop Depp who was about to do something bad.

However, how could a normal driver drive faster than a drugged driver?

The RV, which was speeding all the way, soon arrived outside the studio area. Depp led a group of his younger brothers out of the car and rushed to the Walton Pictures Studios with paint buckets.

"Go ahead! Dye their bird feathers green!"

"Follow my orders! Throw them as soon as the door opens. We're going to cause a scene on the set today!"

“Hahahahahaha, huh?”

The factory gate was ajar, and Depp kicked it open.

However, the next second, he just stood there in a daze.

Looking around, the factory was empty. All the props and equipment had been taken away. Except for a few cleaning staff who were cleaning, there was no one else!
"Huh? What about people?"

Depp looked at the empty scene with a confused look on his face.

At this time, Lord, who heard the noise, rushed over from the "Ben-Hur" crew.

Looking at the paint buckets in Depp's and the others' hands, his face suddenly changed, and he hurriedly said, "Depp, stop doing stupid things. Ready Player One has already been evacuated yesterday. Don't you think you haven't caused enough trouble? How long are you going to continue to mess around..."

With Lauder's persuasion, Depp gradually calmed down.

And when he heard that Megan Ellison actually went to the bar and was ready to ask him for an explanation, his face changed suddenly.

He was quite clear in his mind that the crew had never done anything to him before, mainly because he was the male lead of "Ben-Hur".

But once Megan Ellison gets tough with him, he will be in blatant breach of contract.

According to the law, he is likely to be sued in court and ordered to compensate the "Ben-Hur" crew for all losses!

Depp's face changed suddenly when he thought that he might lose hundreds of millions of dollars!

He threw the paint bucket to the ground and walked quickly towards the RV: "Go back to the bar, I want to have a good talk with Megan."

A group of people got on the car and took a shortcut to the bar.

However, not long after they left the studio area, Megan Ellison led a group of people back to the set.

The two sides missed each other perfectly.

Depp didn't even bother to charge his phone, and Megan's phone was broken because she was too angry, so God was playing a joke on the two of them!

……

July 7st, just passed like that.

At 8:30 in the evening, Chen Fei boarded the plane to the UK very punctually.

Many foreigners in the first class cabin had already fallen asleep under the cover of night, but he was still reading domestic news.

Last night, if nothing unexpected happened, many people in the country probably didn’t sleep well, or even stayed awake all night!
It is no exaggeration to say that all stockholders on the Internet were waiting for the opening of the next day, and hoping that the A-share market was just suffering from a minor flu...

The time soon came to 9:.

As everyone expected, the stock market opened.

However, more people chose to stand on the rooftop at 10 o'clock!
Because, looking around, the entire stock market is green, without any trace of red at all!

"Financial news report: A-shares opened again, and the Shanghai Composite Index, Shenzhen Composite Index, and ChiNext Index continued to fall, all in the red."

"Some experts analyzed that compared with yesterday, although the A-share market is still in a state of sharp decline, it has not seen a sharp drop. This phenomenon indicates that the A-share market is expected to stop falling soon..."

"Huayi's market value has shrunk by nearly 10 billion again, and there is no good news at all."

"The value of many directors, stars, and actors has shrunk significantly."

"The stocks of many listed companies have hit the limit down!"

On the plane, Fade Chen shrugged, pulled a blanket over himself, and muttered softly:

"The stock market crash is coming! Huayi? Haha, it's finished!"
