"Since falling from the high of $456.8 in 2004, it has returned to $430 for the first time. It has been fluctuating between $390 and $410 before, and it almost fell below the historical low of $350 last week."
"However, factors such as international geopolitical conflicts, terrorist attacks, and increases in U.S. interest rates provided impetus for the rise in gold prices. The price of gold on the New York Stock Exchange once again broke through upward and closed at a price of $433 per ounce."
"Beep!"
Lu Fei took the remote control and turned off the TV and exhaled.
"A Fei, do you know that there will be serial explosions and terrorist attacks in London?"
Xu Xin was already incoherent on the phone. Although she tried hard to digest it for a long time, she still couldn't believe it and completely doubted her life. "No, it's impossible. How can you know such a thing? Not even the CIA or FBI can know about it."
"I admit it was a gamble, but I was right!"
Lu Fei crossed his arms, feeling frightened after the excitement.
Just like in previous lives, once the gold bull market starts, it is like turning on a faucet, and the rise is unstoppable. Not to mention the Federal Reserve, even if Jesus comes, it will be useless, I say it!
"Maybe everything is destined."
Xu Xin couldn't understand it and could only attribute it to metaphysics. It was attributed to the fact that Mr. Lu had great luck and could win no matter how hard he played!
"Actually, that's not entirely true. It's also thanks to Aunt Huaxia."
Lu Fei took out a tissue and wiped the sweat off his palms.
I have to say that the country, family and people raised their hands.
Just in time, spot gold trading was allowed in 2004. Just in time, during the period of turmoil in the real estate and stock markets, aunts with spare money either heeded or invested, and hoarded gold one after another.
"Hehe, hehe, now we are rich."
Xu Xin laughed with a hint of madness: "The price of gold is very likely to break through the high of 500 US dollars this year. Do you know what 500 US dollars means? 1 billion, at least 1 billion!"
"Without Sister Xin, 1 billion won't be enough."
Lu Fei doesn't take it seriously. The gold bull market will continue until 2011, when the price of gold will at least double, starting from $1,000.
If you don't control this well, you will be reborn in vain. Earning two to three billion US dollars is a small amount, and the funds for the semiconductor industry will come now!
No guns, no cannons, America made them for us!
Xu Xin asked: "If big short sellers like Goldman Sachs and Rich Fargo use their connections with the Federal Reserve, will they still lose?"
"It is precisely because of the Federal Reserve that Goldman Sachs and others will not give up so easily. They have only played the first half, and there is still the second half of the year."
Lu Fei directly issued orders, and once the crude oil contract in his hand expires, he will focus on gold in the next one or two years.
"A Fei, in my opinion, just accept it when it's good. A gold buying wave of this level is rare and does not happen every time."
Xu Xin was worried and had good words to dissuade him.
"Sister Xin, you are wrong. The real gold buying wave has not yet come. The Spring Festival is the real climax."
Lu Fei raised his lips. This online and offline joint attack has brought huge profits to gold brands such as Chow Tai Fook and Lao Miao. At least four gold banks have agreed to enter Feigou, and the jewelry business has been launched.
"I, let's restrain ourselves a little."
Xu Xin took a breath. She had seen Goldman Sachs plundering other people's wool, but had never seen Goldman Sachs plundering others' wool. She reminded him not to offend Goldman too much. It is better to let go of enemies than to make enemies. After all, he is the sponsor of Penguin's listing. From now on, But it still needs to develop in the United States.
"Too."
Lu Fei raised his eyebrows. Next month Penguin will have a road show, connecting with brokers, investment banks, and investors, and also using Goldman Sachs. He is really offended to death. If he can't guarantee that he will arrange an American-style residence, he will be shot eight times in the back. Died by suicide.
If nothing else works, he will be imprisoned like Miss Ren.
After all, Carnegie's suppression team, DuPont's soil bombs, Ford's tanks, Rockefeller's thugs, the capitalists have dark hearts and even darker intentions.
“Take a chance and talk to John Waldron.”
Xu Xin secretly added: "There is also Mr. Liu of Lianxiang. He heard that he lost his capital by short selling this time and still owes millions of dollars. He was so angry that he fell ill and was hospitalized."
Lu Fei smacked his lips: "Oh, are you dead?"
Xu Xin said helplessly: "You, you, how can you curse someone to death? Don't say nonsense, be careful if it spreads to his ears and creates hatred."
"hehe."
Lu Fei smiled coldly, he had already fought to the death with him!
But it's true that he can't die. Just tell Chang Kaishen the same thing as the brigade commander. Otherwise, if he really becomes a loyal martyr, wouldn't it be an advantage for him?
The two then chatted about shareholding reform and investment, until they talked about the latest progress of Lin'an Steel Union and Jianlong projects before hanging up the phone.
"Yuanyuan!"
Lu Fei walked out of the study, "Don't cook tonight, let the hotel deliver some dishes, and let's have a good celebration."
"Hey, you know?"
Gao Yuanyuan blinked, surprised.
"what do you know?"
"I thought you knew that the box office of "The Stone" exceeded 100 million."
"The movie has exceeded 100 million?"
"Well, 22 days, 103 million!"
Gao Yuanyuan raised her chin proudly, and then said resentfully: "In fact, it can be higher, if it is not pirated."
Lu Fei took her into his arms and comforted her. Piracy is indeed the enemy of the film and television industry at the moment. Even though Sogou and Baidu strictly check and kill links, and Thunder and Thunder crack down, there are still gun versions on video websites such as Tudou and pptv.
emm, it’s time to treat guests to dinner and collect dogs.
He rolled his eyes: "Okay, no matter what, breaking 100 million is a happy event. Has the celebration banquet been decided?"
"Sister Li Fang and the others have already done it again. Hey, it's scheduled to be at the Yanjing Palace Peninsula Hotel."
…………
August 1, Yanjing Palace Peninsula Hotel.
There was feasting and feasting, and the decoration of the banquet in the hall was not low-key, luxurious and connotative, but full of publicity.
In addition to the main creative staff, the celebration banquet also invited upstream and downstream partners, such as theater companies, media reporters, and our own artists, to show their faces and see the world.
But there were no hero posts posted widely, so the scene was far less star-studded and grand than the premiere.
"3."
"2."
"1."
Lu Fei stood in the audience, looking at the festive red stage. Gao Yuanyuan and Zeng Li, standing on the left and right in the C position, together with Zhong Lifang, Ning Hao, Huang Bo and others, smashed the 100 million-digit ice with the hammer. withered.
Bang bang bang!
Kakaka~
Media and entertainment reporters do not live for free. Of course they have to work, holding cameras and taking pictures, flashes flashing non-stop.
"Here, the person I want to thank the most is Mr. Gao. Without her help, "Crazy Stone" might have been in the dust for a year, two years, or even three years before it was released. Even if it was filmed, it would not be available. It won’t be that successful.”
Ning Hao held the microphone tightly with both hands and spoke with a vibrato.
From an unknown advertising director to a top director whose first commercial debut exceeded 100 million in box office, some people have gone through this step for more than ten years without success, but I have only been in just two years.
In his words, the praise for Gao Yuanyuan was like a torrential river, endless, and like the Yellow River overflowing, out of control.
Just say that Mr. Gao is tall, Mr. Zhong is hard, and Mr. Lu is tall and hard!
When everyone was yelling at him to say something, he, a grown man, couldn't hold back his emotions and cried as if he was about to marry his beloved wife.
These days, unlike the traffic era of 2011, the director gets the most attention.
Unless the lineup includes superstars like Jet Li and Cheng Long, the media likes to attribute most of the film's success to the director. In the era of director-centric systems, the director's personal box office statistics are the most detailed.
As for Ning Hao, he is the third member of the "Mainland's 100-million-yuan box office director club" after Zhang Yimou and Feng Pengteng. Even Chen Kai has never had one.
"Hey, Master Shuo, how come they are nowhere to be seen?"
At this time, Feng Tongtong gathered with people in his circle, but Wang Shuo, Ye Jing and others were nowhere to be seen.
"How dare you come here? You have to call us 'Master' when you come."
Wang Zhonglei couldn't help but sigh, "I never imagined that movies and charity can really work together. When "The Night Banquet" is released, we will do the same. The money from the 'Charity One Yuan Donation' will also be donated to Mr. Lu's and Sister-in-law's foundation."
"Charity is just a small effort, the key is Master Lu."
Feng Tongtong spoke sourly, all with envy and jealousy.
It is not a shame to lose to Zhou Xingchi's "Kung Fu", but "The Stone", whether it is "Big Shot" or "Party A and Party B", not to say crushing, at least surpassing it, without Mr. Lu's leg, the box office will be at least halved.
"The Han and Tang dynasties are now blooming and completely revitalized."
Wang Zhonglei sighed. The TV series includes the hit "Latent", the movie includes "Stone", the directors include Ning Hao, Jiang Wei and other talented people, and the stars are Zeng Li and Qin Hailu.
The most important thing is that people can enjoy the benefits of capital.
As soon as he thought about this, he called Huo Siyan, who was wearing low-level (.y.) clothing, and prepared to "get close" to Mr. Lu. If he could trick one or two coal bosses, he would win, and if he could trick himself, he would make a lot of money.
"Mr. Wang, don't worry."
Huo Siyan, as Huayi, is a sociable, flowery, licking her lips.
But at this moment, an inappropriate sound came from behind everyone, and Wang Jinghua suddenly appeared, asking for help:
"Mr. Wang, what's going on with Director Feng's "The Night Banquet"?"
"Sister Hua, what do you say?"
Wang Zhonglei frowned and wanted to leave but couldn't.
Wang Jinghua said in an almost questioning tone, "Ge You, Zhang Ziyi, Wu Yanzu, Zhou Xun, Huang Xiaoming, the company's highlight next year does not include any of them. I need a perfect explanation."
"Sister Hua, we are taking an international route for this drama, so the actors we hire must consider their influence in the international market. Besides, isn't Brother You one of our own!"
Wang Zhonglei responded, "Is the reason perfect?"
"This is boring, Mr. Wang."
Wang Jinghua smiled coldly, "Who doesn't know that Brother You has an official company and is not a contracted artist? Now I have more than 40 people under my banner, all eagerly looking forward to starring in Director Feng's play. It is obviously our own resource, why do we have to let it go? As an outsider, if you say Zhang Ziyi and Zhou Xun, I recognize them, but for Wu Yanzu and Huang Xiaoming, we have a lot of people who can replace them."
Wang Zhonglei kept a straight face, especially when he heard the words "under my banner", his expression became even more ugly, but he suppressed his anger and said perfunctorily:
""The Night Banquet" is currently in preparation. The company intends to sign Zhou Xun and Huang Xiaoming. This is considered a condition of the contract. Of course, as for Wu Yanzu, of course he is very popular in Hong Kong and Taiwan, which will be very helpful for us to expand the overseas market. .”
Wang Jinghua was startled: "But why don't Zhou Xun and Huang Xiaoming leave it to me? I have always been responsible for the brokerage business?"
"Sister Hua has more than 40 people under her command, and they have to take care of Shuang Bing and Er Bing. They are too busy. Someone should come out to share the burden."
Wang Zhonglei said calmly, "I have handed them over to other agents, so I won't bother you anymore."
"Okay, okay, thank you Mr. Wang for your kindness."
Wang Jinghua was stunned at first, then her face darkened, and she broke the bridge after crossing the river. Before, she took the friendship and equity into consideration, so she just took it one step at a time, but this time she put the suppression on the table——
"The Night Banquet" is the most direct message.
"Hey, Sister Hua!"
Seeing that the situation was not going well, Feng Pengtong wanted to mediate, but before he had time to speak, Wang Jinghua turned around and left in anger, without giving her a chance. He said helplessly: "Mr. Wang, I think it's a bit too hasty. I really want to push her." The fish is dead and the net is broken..."
"Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. We cannot let Huayi's brokerage business turn into her, Wang Jinghua's, country of China!"
Wang Zhonglei frowned and refused to give in.
"But, oh, aren't you afraid that she will defect to someone else?"
Feng Pengtang stopped trying to persuade him. Whenever power and money were involved, he couldn't tell the difference clearly. He was secretly glad that he had set up his own business early and founded Dongyang Meila.
Make movies by yourself and get money by yourself.
"Apart from Huayi, there is no such a big stage."
Wang Zhonglei looked back at Wang Jinghua with disdain.
She was seen walking among the crowd, with anger written on her face. She drank two glasses of wine in a row to suppress the anger. Her mind was filled with the impulse of "If you don't leave me here, I will leave you alone", and it became stronger and stronger.
Where on earth are you going?
An idea flashed through her, and she suddenly raised her eyes to look at Mr. Lu, who was surrounded by stars, thoughtfully.
………
"Mr. Lu, don't say anything anymore. The words of thanks are all in the wine. I'll do it. You can do whatever you want."
Ning Hao's face was red and he was already half drunk. He held the cup in both hands and toasted respectfully.
"You are too restless."
Lu Fei looked around and saw the faces of Han Sanping, Zeng Li, Yang Mi, Huang Bo and others with smiles on their faces. He lightly patted his shoulder, "I'm so excited if the box office is 100 million, what if it's 1 billion?" ?
"I'll be naked..."
Ning Hao noticed that there was a woman, and the word "Ben" was stuck in his throat, and he changed the topic: "I hope to break 1 billion. That will be the real spring of Chinese movies."
"Well, that's so true!"
Han Sanping looked approvingly, "However, the box office of a single film exceeds 1 billion. In the current movie market, the cake is not big enough. It will take a few more years."
Then he turned around and said with a smile: "Mr. Lu, I wonder what the Han and Tang Dynasties will do next? The blockbusters I talked to Tong Ju about before, now Brother Chen Kai has reported "The Promise", Feng Pants is "The Night Banquet", and Zhang Yimou is "Manchu". "The whole city is covered with golden armor", only the Han and Tang Dynasties..."
"I plan to remake the classic story "Painted Skin" in "Liao Zhai" into a 3D costume magic blockbuster."
Lu Fei grinned and showed a relaxed smile.
3D costume fantasy blockbuster?
Not only Han Sanping, but also Ning Hao, Yang Mi, Jing Tian and others looked at each other. They understood every word, but when they were put together, they had no idea what it meant.
"Director Han, in my opinion, not only are Chinese films lagging behind in commercialization, but the foundation for industrialization is also very weak."
Lu Fei told what he saw and heard in Hollywood in a concise and concise manner. Objectively speaking, the gap was ten or twenty years.
There were only one or two war movies like "Wolf Warrior 2" and "Operation Red Sea" more than ten years later, let alone "The Wandering Earth". How many years did it take to see it!
The key is that there is no industrial system, and there are not even a few movie special effects companies. What's the use of shouting about billions in box office and high box office records all day long?
After "The Return of the Great Sage" and "Nezha", have Chinese comics risen?
Just a shooting star!
Only when the commercial system produces short-lived movies can the industrial system produce mass production and output movies on an assembly line.
Han Sanping smiled bitterly: "But now we haven't even figured out the path to commercialization yet, so we should learn from Hong Kong first. Hong Kong films have experience in this area."
"To learn from Hong Kong films, we don't even have to learn the skills of handicraft workshops. To industrialize film, we can only cross the river by feeling the stones on our own, so let's just start with "Painted Skin"."
Lu Fei waved his hand, Hantang would invest in basefx special effects company, and learn from Bangzi and Hollywood special effects teams.
Zeng Li was smiling, her eyes reflecting the man's high-spirited and heroic figure, but she never noticed that Yang Mi beside her was also secretly looking at him, breathing rapidly and her chest rising and falling.
I thought that the Mr. Lu I imagined was awesome enough, but I didn’t expect that the awesomeness would touch my blind spot of knowledge, to be so awesome!
While talking and laughing, people in Hong Kong are just kneeling down to beg for food.
"What about the lineup? Who is the leading actor?"
Han Sanping's heart felt hot.
"Only two are confirmed for now, Zhou Xun and Zeng Li."
Lu Fei glanced at Zeng Li calmly and vowed: "The entire starring cast will be played by mainland actors."
"You're not looking for any Hong Kong stars?"
Han Sanping confirmed that he had not heard anything wrong. Then he looked at his serious expression, which did not look like he was joking at all. He was surprised and suspicious.
"If you're not looking for it, why are you looking for it?"
Lu Fei said categorically: "I'm not telling you, Mr. Han, you can no longer be used to Hong Kong and Taiwan. "Little Fish and Flowers" is a lesson. The rules should be changed. When you come to the mainland to beg for food, you must have a beggar. Looks like we are the masters!"
Zeng Li's eyes were bright and calm, but her heart was turbulent. If it wasn't in a public place, a wave could drown him.
"If "Painted Skin" is completed, it will break many rules."
Han Sanping was silent for a moment, with expectations in his eyes.
"Rules are made by people, shouldn't we make them?"
"Mr. Lu is right. If you encounter any trouble in the preparation of "Painted Skin", if you can use my and China Film's work, just ask."
"Thank you, Director Han. Let's drink to the future of Chinese cinema."
Lu Fei was about to clink glasses, but found that the glass was empty. The next second, a glass full of red wine appeared in front of him.
"Senior."
Yang Mi silently acted as the wine delivery girl.
"I wish "Painted Skin" good luck and everything goes well."
Han Sanping held his wine glass high and did not hesitate to praise him.
"Haha, I must try my best!"
Lu Fei and his eyes met, everything was in silence, all in the wine, ten thousand years is too long, just seize the day!
Seeing him raising his neck boldly, Jing Tian and Liu Shishi remained motionless, their eyes widened, and strange feelings welled up in their hearts.
Yang Mi drank it all in one gulp, her cheeks were flushed, her eyes were slightly blurred, she stared at the person tightly and bit her lip tightly.
I kept thinking silently in my heart, I am 19, I am 19...
