Chapter 419 Unlocking a new title
At 10:47 pm on July 22, 2007, Xu successfully checked in at a new location: RV.
Yuan Li bought this car before she got married. She planned to take her husband to camp with her when the weather got warmer. However, after the wedding, the two began to have quarrels, and the car had to be left to gather dust in a suburban parking lot.
Now it's finally used.
"Then let her do it."
After the two of them finished their business in a hurry, Xu Kun took out the USB flash drive and conveyed Fan Bingbing's request.
As a result, Yuan Li didn't take it seriously at all. She wrapped herself around Xu Kun like an octopus and said, "The worst case is that the fish will die and the net will be broken. What she has collected is not complete enough. Tell her later that if you want more information, come directly to me."
After hearing this, Xu Kun knew that Fan Bingbing was in trouble this time.
Although Yuan Li's misanthropic style may be fake, Xu Kun felt that Fan Bingbing would not dare to take the gamble. After all, her studio had just opened and she was thinking about becoming bigger and stronger. How could she do this? Are you willing to die together with Yuan Li, who is on the decline?
What happened next was indeed similar to what he had guessed.
After Fan Bingbing learned about Yuan Li's attitude, he angrily cursed Yuan Li as a psycho, but he stopped talking.
It seems that even in the entertainment industry, people are afraid of being stunned.
July 25.
On the day Xu Kun led the team to set off, more than half of the Teddy sisters came, including Hao Lei, Jiang Yiyan, Huo Siyan, Li Xiaolu, Chen Shu, Gan Min, Yang Mi - even Qin Lan, who was filming on the set of "Yun Niang" , also specially asked for leave to come and see him off.
But they didn't go to the airport. After all, they were all big stars. Going to the airport to see them off together would be too eye-catching, so they made an appointment to go there early in the morning and say goodbye in a community on the South Fourth Ring Road.
Hu Dou, who had also been seeing off the whole night next door, saw this 'grand scene' with his own eyes. He hugged Baoqiang's arm resentfully and said, "I don't want anything else but to be honest like you. If you follow Brother Kun's example, These messes..."
At that time, I swore an urgent vow to my guardian.
When they arrived at the airport, Wang Zhonglei also brought Zhou Xun to see him off in person - he used to bring Li Bingbing and Fan Bingbing with him, but now the old ones are replaced by a new generation.
Xu Kun organized the leading actors to take a behind-the-scenes video at the airport for future publicity. Then he said goodbye to Wang Zhonglei and others and rushed to Thailand with half of the crew for training.
Because I took the official route, I got the green light after landing in Bangkok.
After simply adapting to the city for two days, Xu Kun parted ways with Chen Xuebin and others, leading a group of action actors to a military base on the outskirts of the city for closed training.
Thailand mainly provides equipment, but the instructors hired from China are the ones who really lead the training. Otherwise, it will look like the training is not based on the domestic system, and it will become a joke.
In the next month, various firearms, tanks, armored vehicles, helicopters, training aircraft, transport aircraft... Xu Kun and Sun Honglei even experienced the power of anti-aircraft gun level fire.
Although most of these equipment were old guys before the 1990s, and things with real technical content were hidden from others, they still gave Xu Kun enough to satisfy his military addiction.
With these weapons and equipment as an adjustment, various military trainings are not so painful.
Of course, not everyone thinks so. Zhao Wenzhuo complained about the masochistic training all day long. However, due to what he saw while running for subsidies in China, he did not dare to explode and could only grit his teeth and endure it.
The closer to September, the less Zhao Wenzhuo dared to say anything.
Because starting from mid-August, first from Thailand, and then from China, several groups of people approached Xu Kun.
By the end of the month, Xu Kun even received an invitation to an economic forum convened by the King of Thailand, hoping that he could express a "positive view" on the world economic situation at the conference.
All of this is naturally because starting from August 9th, the subprime mortgage crisis officially broke out, or it began to spread to the world.
In fact, there were signs of this subprime mortgage crisis as early as February. However, the United States has always reported good news but not bad news, believing that the risks are completely controllable.
Therefore, at the beginning of the year, Thailand did not take it seriously and paid attention to the crew of "Operation Kunpeng", mainly to break the ice between the two countries. It was not until August 9 that BNP Paribas, France's largest bank, announced that it was involved in the subprime mortgage crisis and suffered huge losses, which initially triggered the financial crisis.
On August 9, most global stock indexes fell, and metal crude oil futures and spot gold prices plunged sharply.
On August 11, central banks around the world injected more than US$326.2 billion in 48 hours to rescue the market. The Federal Reserve injected capital into banks three times a day in the hope of stabilizing the stock market.
On August 14, 2007, dozens of companies including Wal-Mart and Home Depot admitted that they had suffered huge losses due to the subprime mortgage crisis, and U.S. stocks plummeted in response.
On August 14, 2007, the three major central banks of the United States, Europe, and Japan once again injected more than US$72 billion to rescue the market. The Asia-Pacific central bank once again injected capital into the banking system, and various economies successively postponed interest rate increases.
On August 16, 2007, the stock price of the largest commercial mortgage company in the United States plummeted and faced bankruptcy. The Asia-Pacific stock market suffered its worst decline since 9/11.
Throughout August, financial markets around the world were in a state of turmoil, with new bad news breaking out every day or two.
Although most of the news comes from Europe and the United States, Asian countries that still have fresh memories of the 1997 financial crisis are still in panic.
There are even some people in the country who are feeling uneasy.
At this time, Xu, who predicted all this in the movie script, became particularly eye-catching.
So even though Xu Kun repeatedly stated that he just wanted to rationalize the plot of Thailand helping the action team in the movie, so he found the reason for the financial crisis.
Moreover, I was just picking up other people’s wisdom. Did I borrow the predictions of some economists in the United States, or was I repeatedly sent to ‘interrogate’ by people from above.
Thailand pays more and more attention to him. Not only did the King of Thailand invite him to give a speech at the economic forum, but the sister of the former Prime Minister also hosted a banquet for him.
Under the strong request of Thailand and with permission, Xu Kun had to bite the bullet and speak nonsense at the economic forum.
It is claimed that Tokyo University now has enough size to serve as the backbone of Asia, support the Asian economy, and even make decisive contributions to the world economy. It will never sit back and watch the 1997 Asian financial crisis repeat itself.
In addition, he also mixed some personal things into it, such as thinking that this year is just an appetizer and that the subprime mortgage crisis will definitely intensify in the next one or two years.
As a result, this speech did not cause much repercussions in Thailand. It was first spread back to the mainland and was reported by major media. Everyone in the country knew that there was an actor who was a director who predicted all this in advance.
This fully proves the principle of flowers blooming outside the wall and fragrant inside the wall.
So after entering September, Xu had another big label of 'economist' on his head, which made him feel very guilty.
Thanks to Ekatrina, after attending the economic forum and the former Prime Minister's sister's family dinner, she began to devote herself to weaving a warm nest for him, which gave him some comfort.
By the way, the inside of the tank is really not suitable for activities, as it is especially easy to hit your head.
In comparison, armored personnel carriers are much easier to use.
The time soon came to September 7th.
Xu Kun received Feng Xiaogang, Xu Fan, and Wang Zhonglei at Don Mueang International Airport.
Wang Zhonglei was not planning to come originally, but Xu Kun made such a big fuss, and he had to come and talk to Xu Kun about some matters.
So after meeting, Wang Zhonglei laughed and hugged him: "Director Xu, this time you really suppressed those local bumpkins!"
As soon as Xu Kun escaped from his bear hug, he heard Feng Xiaogang shake his head and said: "I'm afraid I still can't tell whether this is a blessing or a curse."
