February 2, Berlin Airport.

"Zhimo, tell the truth, did you go back because you didn't want to spend Valentine's Day with me?" Zhang Ziyi stared at Lin Zhimo with sparkling eyes and asked.

"How is it possible? How could I have such an idea? The crew really asked me to go back and shoot quickly." Lin Zhimo said confidently.

"Really?" Zhang Ziyi was still a little skeptical.

"Really, it's more real than real gold." Lin Zhimo swore again.

"Okay, I'll forgive you this time...but next time you must spend Valentine's Day with me, I've made a reservation." Zhang Ziyi hugged Lin Zhimo's arm and shook it gently, coquettishly.

"Yes, yes, I promise, okay?" Lin Zhimo said so, but he didn't take it seriously. After all, as an actor, Lin Zhimo knew that if the two were really busy, maybe even Valentine's Day would be the same. I will forget it one day, let alone get together again.

Zhang Ziyi didn't notice that Lin Zhimo's mouth was wrong, she lightly kissed Lin Zhimo's lips, and said, "Okay, get on the plane quickly, don't waste time."

Lin Zhimo and Zhang Ziyi waved goodbye and started the security check, and Zhang Ziyi didn't turn around until Lin Zhimo's figure disappeared in the passage.

This is the difference between Zhang Ziyi and Lin Xinru. Both Lin Xin and Lin Zhimo don't want to see the parting scene, so generally they don't go to the airport to see them off, but Zhang Ziyi is different. She thinks that since the two are the same A friend must fulfill his duties as a friend, and let the friend feel his heart.

The two ways of handling fully show the differences in the personalities of the two women.

Lin Zhimo didn't particularly like or dislike this. Although he hated seeing the farewell scene, but Zhang Ziyi was able to spare time in the busy activities to see him off. How could Lin Zhimo not be moved?

……

"Sesame, what's the matter, did you open your eyes at the Berlin Film Festival?"

As soon as Lin Zhimo returned to the crew, Li Binbin couldn't wait to ask about the Berlin Film Festival.

Actresses from all over the world have a strong curiosity about the three major European film festivals, and Li Binbin is no exception.In fact, for Li Binbin, the feeling in her heart is more complicated because of her age.Li Binbin is 27 years old this year. This number may not be too big for an ordinary woman, but it has a completely different meaning for an actress.

Eileen Chang once said: "Be famous as early as possible."

This sentence is frequently used in the actress industry, because the golden age of every actress is from 25 to 35 years, it would be even better if she made her name before 25 , but once you are over 35 years old, your skin starts to loosen, your complexion starts to darken, and your eyes are far less bright than when you were young, then the notices will drop sharply, the income will drop, and the exposure will decrease, which in turn will make her famous. Decrease, resulting in fewer notifications...

Under the vicious circle, in short, if an actress is still not well-known before the age of 35, then her acting career can basically be declared over.

It is precisely because of this mentality that Li Binbin pays more attention to the film festival than others. It is not that after she pays attention to the film festival, it will be of any help. It is just a subconscious comparison. What is it like to be a successful actress?

(It’s as if writers of certain novels always subconsciously click on the works of those great gods. Even if they memorize those novels, they may not necessarily be able to improve their writing skills, but they will always click involuntarily... Xiao Ba admitted that I was laughing at myself.)

Lin Zhimo also understands Li Binbin's mentality more or less. In fact, not to mention her, even Lin Zhimo himself is a little jealous of Zhang Ziyi. It worked with great directors like Zhang Yimou and Li An.

"It really opened my eyes, but it's more about envy, jealousy and hatred. Look at those big stars who are real international superstars. We are just small people and we can't compare with others." The little model looked down on the situation, and felt a little bit in his heart, so he said with a sigh.

"You are not a small person. Now in the minds of college students, if your appeal is not the strongest, you are still one of the top group of people." Ren Quan said when he came to Lin Zhimo's side.

"How do you say that, brother?" Lin Zhimo called Ren Quan by his nickname.

"It's your song 'I Believe', which is very popular with students now. It is said that every university event will have the sound of this song." Ren Quan saw that Lin Zhimo really didn't understand, so he explained.

"Really?" Lin Zhimo was overjoyed, he was still happy that his songs were liked by everyone.

"Yeah, otherwise Director Hu will ask you to compose the theme song for the TV series?"

"Create a theme song?" Lin Zhimo was taken aback.

"You don't know?" Ren Quan was also taken aback.

"I don't know, this is the first time I've heard you say this." Lin Zhimo spread his hands.

At this moment, Hu Mingkai greeted Lin Zhimo: "Zhimo, come here!"

Ren Quan said: "Look, I must discuss the theme song with you."

Sure enough, as Ren Quan said, Hu Mingkai wanted to discuss the theme song with Lin Zhimo.

"Zhimo, I know that your musical talent is not much worse than your acting skills, so you still need to take on this burden." Hu Mingkai said to Lin Zhimo earnestly, but the expression on his face seemed to be "I just depend on you, what can you do with me."

Lin Zhimo naturally knew that if he composed the theme song of a TV series, it would be a good publicity effect for both himself and the TV series, so he didn't pretend to be prevaricated, and after thinking about it, he directly agreed.

……

This day, Lin Zhimo was told that someone was visiting the set just after filming his own scene. Since reporters always came to visit during the filming, director Hu Mingkai banned any non-work People enter the shooting scene.

Lin Zhimo changed her clothes only to realize that it was none other than Lin Xinru who came to visit the class.

The two didn't hide it either. After all, this is a film and television shooting base, and various celebrities can often be seen walking on the street, so they entered a teahouse so openly.

"Xinru, have you made up your mind?" Lin Zhimo asked after the two sat down.

"Well, in fact, I've always wanted to change jobs, but due to various reasons, I never made it. If you can really provide the termination fee now..." At this point, Lin Xinru's pretty face still showed a trace of struggle and hesitation. After a while, he continued: "... If you really have the money, then I will sign it with Sister Wen."

Lin Zhimo snapped his fingers and said with a smile: "That's right! Don't worry, there is absolutely no problem with the funding."

Lin Xinru suddenly said again: "Zhimo, I want Amy to continue to be my manager, can I?"

"what?"

Lin Zhimo didn't expect that Lin Xinru would suddenly make this request, but Lin Zhimo couldn't make the decision for Huo Xiwen, so he said, "Then, I'll ask Sister Wen first."

After speaking, Lin Zhimo took out his mobile phone, but he stopped suddenly, and asked hesitantly: "Xinru, that TV series..."

Lin Xinru was slightly taken aback, and then realized that what Lin Zhimo was talking about was "deep love and rainy". She didn't know about Lin Zhimo's jealousy at this time, so she said directly: "Of course we should continue filming. I will terminate the contract."

Lin Zhimo looked at Lin Xinru's reasonable expression and couldn't help but asked, "Since we have already decided to terminate the contract, why continue to shoot?"

"Of course it's for gratitude!" Lin Xinru didn't understand why Lin Zhimo asked, "After all, if it wasn't for Aunt Qiong Yao, I wouldn't be where I am today, even if it was the last scene I filmed for her."

Hearing Lin Xinru's reasons, Lin Zhimo suddenly didn't know how to refute. Could it be that Lin Xinru should not shoot for his own petty thoughts? Lin Zhimo couldn't say it himself.

Lin Xinru looked at Lin Zhimo's faltering look, and she knew Lin Zhimo's thoughts as soon as she thought about it. Lin Xinru was not angry about this, on the contrary she was a little sweet, so she said softly: "Don't worry, Zhimo , I will try my best to communicate with the director, if I can not do a kiss scene, I will never do it, even if I have to, I will borrow a seat to do it, how about it?"

Lin Zhimo didn't feel any embarrassment when Lin Xinru saw through her thoughts, so she said without hesitation, "Then Xinru, why don't you always be like this in the future, or don't take this kind of drama at all."

Lin Xinru glared, patted the table lightly, and reprimanded: "Lin Zhimo! I haven't said anything about the scene you and Zhang Ziyi filmed!"

Lin Zhimo's stature suddenly became shorter. Lin Zhimo felt guilty about this, without the slightest sense of stubbornness, coughed twice and said, "Okay, I'll call Sister Wen right away."

Lin Xinru smiled faintly, picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of the tea, um, it tasted very good.

There was no resistance from Huo Xiwen to Lin Xinru's request, but Huo Xiwen was not unconditional at all. She asked Amy to share her network resources with Xiwen's agency after joining the company.

Regarding this point, Lin Xinru immediately agreed on behalf of Amy. After all, the resources accumulated by Amy will still be useful after she leaves Qiong Yao's company. People in the company have the desire to be independent, so this request made by Huo Xiwen is very normal, and Lin Xinru believes that Amy will understand.

After discussing this matter, Lin Xinru said to Lin Zhimo: "Are you really not allowed to join the crew of Deep Love and Rain?"

Lin Zhimo smiled wryly and said: "If this sentence was a few days ago, I could still say that I could participate, even if I didn't need a salary, I would still join, but when I was in Germany, I already promised Director Wang Xiaoshuai to participate in his new film , this conflicts with the shooting time of Deep Love and Rain."

"Really..." Lin Xinru sighed, "Zhimo, do you think we will have a chance to shoot a movie together in the future?"

"Yes, there will definitely be! In the future, we will both be artists of the same company. As long as there is a new script, we will choose a couple to act together."

Lin Xinru shyly said: "Bah, don't be ashamed! Who wants to act as a couple with you?"

Lin Zhimo smiled softly: "If you don't play a couple, can you play a couple?"

"A dog can't spit out ivory!" Lin Xinru said angrily, holding up her teacup and looking out, but in her heart she was imagining what it would be like when the two of them acted together in a couple scene.

……

On March 2000, 3, Lin Zhimo received a call from Liu Yamin.

"Boss, I'm going to start a big business." Liu Yamin's tone revealed a suppressed excitement.

"Okay, do it, as long as it can make money." Lin Zhimo didn't care much about Liu Yamin's actions because he was still filming.

"Hehe, don't worry, the money will definitely be earned, definitely!"

At this time, Lin Zhimo naturally didn't know the meaning of the word "making money" that Liu Yamin said.

Nasdaq is an electronic securities trading institution in the United States. It is owned and operated by Nasdaq Stock Market Corporation. It was founded in 1968 and has become one of the largest stock markets in the world so far.

The Nasdaq index is an average stock price index that reflects changes in the Nasdaq securities market, and the basic index is 100.Listed companies on Nasdaq cover all high-tech industries, including software, computer, telecommunications, biotechnology, retail and wholesale trade, among which network technology stocks account for the vast majority.

In the 90s, new technology and Internet companies ushered in the spring, and Nasdaq finally broke out.

On July 1997, 7, the Nasdaq index broke through 11 points.

On July 1998, 7, the Nasdaq index broke through 16 points.

On January 1999, 1, it broke through 29 points.

On January 1999, 11, it broke through 3 points.

On January 1999, 12, it broke through 29 points.

On March 2000, 3, it reached an unprecedented 9 points.

On March 2000, 3, the highest record was created, that is, on this day, countless Wall Street investors trumpeted the arrival of the Internet era, and at the same time predicted that the Nasdaq index would reach 10 points within a month.

But no one knows that the long journey of more than ten years has quietly arrived.

The reality has played an ironic joke on everyone. In the Nasdaq market, Internet technology stocks account for the vast majority, and biotechnology stocks only account for a small part. However, the direct cause of bursting this bubble is precisely this very A small slice of biotech stocks.

On March 2000, 3, U.S. President Clinton and Prime Minister Blair suddenly jointly announced that in order to improve the efficiency of human stem cell embryo research, biotechnology companies are obliged to publish their research results in this field and allow public research institutions to use these freely. results.

The announcement was tantamount to a thunderbolt that shattered many biotech companies working on human stem cells.

In fact, biotechnology companies that research human embryonic stem cells account for a very small part of the entire Nasdaq-listed biotechnology companies, but this news still caused a sharp drop in the entire biological sector.Then Internet stocks plummeted, too, and no one knew why—biotech and Internet technology, though both called tech, were actually so little correlated that there was no reason for them to go up or down together.

But the fact before all investors is that in just two days from the 13th to the 15th, the Nasdaq Composite Index plummeted by more than 100 points for three consecutive days due to the plunge of a small group of biotechnology stocks. The collapse of the entire Nasdaq.

Of course, in the next few days, the market gradually stabilized, and everything seemed to be over, but at this moment, three people jumped out——

The first is Alan Greenspan, 74, now chairman of the Federal Reserve.In his view, speculative wealth in the stock market can easily increase people's consumption demand, coupled with the interweaving of other factors, inflation is inevitable.

In recent years, the US economy has been showing a growth trend in recent years, the society has sufficient employment, and inflation has been in a relatively low state, which is a rare period of good operation.But Greenspan, who took it as his mission to curb inflation, has a very keen sense of smell.He can always smell inflation from subtle changes in the market.

Every time he smells it, he will wave the big stick of raising interest rates and ruthlessly suppress these signs.Since the summer of 1999, he has raised interest rates five times in a row.

On March 3, the Federal Reserve led by Greenspan made another decision to raise interest rates by 21 points.

This time, although it had little impact on the stock market that day, it still had a subtle change in the flow of some funds—the second- and third-rate Internet technology stocks with piles of bubbles began to receive cold reception from investors, and people began to be enthusiastic about technology. Blue chip stocks and traditional industrial stocks, or both "new economy" and "old economy" in order to be safe.

Starting from this decision by Greenspan, the bubble in the Nasdaq market began to be under pressure again.

Next came a heroine, Ms. Cohen.

Ms. Cohen is a fund manager of the famous American investment bank Goldman Sachs Group, and a senior securities analyst who has long enjoyed a high reputation in the industry.Over the years, her investment orientation has been proven to be correct, and has been followed by other investors.

On March 3, Ms. Cohen unexpectedly cut the share of Internet technology stocks in her portfolio by 28%, keeping it at 5%, and raised the cash share to 65%.As soon as the news of her reduction of stock holdings spread, it immediately caused an "earthquake" effect in the market.Psychologically, other investors' confidence in Internet technology stocks was greatly reduced, and they followed suit and sold such stocks on a large scale. As a result, the Nasdaq stock market was always under selling pressure on that day, causing the decline of Internet technology stocks. becomes heavier.

The third person to play is Mr. Jackson, who is a U.S. Attorney General and has been serving as the presiding judge in the Department of Justice v. Microsoft monopoly case.

On April 4, after a round of court investigations and hearings, he resolutely made a judgment that Microsoft's monopoly operation was established and that it must stop its practice of bundling the IE browser on the operating system.

Jackson's verdict shocked the whole world and led to a loss of confidence among investors in the stock market in Microsoft, one of the leading technology stocks.The loss of confidence in the Microsoft family does not matter, what matters is that this loss of confidence will soon spread to the entire technology and Internet stocks.

So with the decline of Microsoft's stock, the entire Nasdaq market plunged into the long journey to the bear market without hesitation, and never looked back.

However, because Lin Zhimo has been busy filming for a while, although he has heard about the Internet bubble in the US market, he has never taken it seriously until after Lin Xinru's relationship with Shenshen Yumeng was completed, Lin Zhimo asked Liu Yamin for a termination fee Only then did he know what kind of concept Liu Yamin was talking about about making money.
