Huayu is free to do as you like

The plane flew for a total of 14 hours and landed at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport.

This is already the second time Gu Wei has been on a plane for such a long time.

The last time I went to London, I sat there for 11 hours.

In the past, no matter where we went in China, it would take a few hours at most to fly back and forth.

Even if I fly frequently, it’s just a bit of a hassle and I can’t even say I’m tired.

Gu Wei pulled the suitcase and walked out with the large group, thinking about when to get a private jet.

Not many people in the entertainment industry have private jets now, and most of them are big shots.

Like Cheng Long and Zhao Benshan.

After all, the price is expensive on the one hand. After buying it, the annual downtime fee, crew salary, etc. are a lot of money, which is not something ordinary celebrities can afford.

Of course, Gu Wei is an exception. With his financial resources, there is no problem in owning a private jet of his own.

The only thing that worries him is that it's only 2015, and there are plenty of investment opportunities in the financial market and elsewhere.

Every dollar he earns now, invested through various channels, will bring him a return of at least 2 times in a few years.

Stocks such as Maotai and Tengxun, as well as the US stock Tesla, are all must-win investment channels that even ordinary people know.

The threshold is low and the upper limit is high. Just open an account at a securities company and invest money in it.

And whenever you want to use money, you can do it at any time.

With the huge size of Maotai and Tengxun in the trillions in the future, Gu Wei will not be afraid of being stuck no matter how much money he invests.

Maybe you can become a shareholder by stock trading, but your net worth will definitely keep rising.

Even though it seemed like he spent a lot of money to buy a house in the capital and Shanghai, he knew that house prices would skyrocket in a few years and it would not be a problem for the house under his name to double in value.

Buying an airplane is different. The price is at least hundreds of millions. The only purpose is to facilitate travel. Even the first class cabin is definitely not as comfortable as a private jet.

Don't think about appreciation in value. This thing is just like buying a car. It will depreciate once you get it. It has only use value.

Of course, these were all his previous thoughts. To be honest, he was a bit of a philistine.

After these two long-distance flights, he also figured out that he could never make enough money, and his own comfort was the most important thing.

What's more, he just received a very large amount of investment income this year.

Since the end of 2014, the domestic stock market has been rising like crazy. In just half a year, the Shanghai Composite Index has risen from more than 2,000 points to a maximum of more than 5,100 points.

Stock traders are shouting that the bull market is coming. At that time, as long as you invest money in the stock market, you will make money with your eyes closed.

It even created an atmosphere of nationwide stock trading.

It’s just a pity that no one is good in every possible way, and no flower is as bright as a hundred days.

The stock market crash started on June 15. The Shanghai Composite Index suddenly turned downward from a high of 5,170 points. The trend weakened, and the stock market crash officially came.

The market has entered a panic, and individual stocks have continued to panic and have continued to fall by their limits.

Since June 15th, there have been a total of 52 trading days. Among them, there have been 21 trading days where the index has fallen sharply or plummeted. There have been 17 times of a limit of 1,000 shares. The limit of 1,000 shares is nothing. There have been several times of a limit of 2,000 stocks. Yes, this is A-share!

That's right, this is the 15-year stock market crash that still remains fresh in Gu Wei's memory.

It was also the turning point in his life from a rich second generation with a good family background to a negative second generation.

Later, he experienced the closure of his father's factory, the family house was sold, and the family of three moved to a rental house with only a few dozen square meters.

His life has completely changed.

The severe blow also made Gu Wei mature overnight and became taciturn.

After graduation, I devoted myself to endless part-time jobs.

Fortunately, he worked hard enough and his father, who had made a big mistake, woke up in time and cheered up again. A few years later, through the efforts of the family, he paid off all the foreign debts and started a beautiful and promising life again.

Once again, this stock market crash is nothing to Gu Wei.

He once called home and learned that his father was still trading stocks, just in a small way, and it was not as crazy as the real estate loan stock trading in the original time and space.

It's right to think about it. Knowing that his son can earn hundreds of millions by making a movie, Dad Gu will naturally not pay attention to the profit from stock trading. It has completely become entertainment to pass the time.

In the face of this historic nationwide financial fluctuation, Gu Wei is as insignificant as an ant. Even with foresight, nothing can be changed.

Of course, it’s okay to make a little money by taking advantage of this east wind.

As early as the end of 2014, he hired a specialized securities manager to help him arrange A shares.

I invested about 200 million yuan and entered the market when the market price was over 2,000 points.

All the funds were dispersed into more than 10 stocks, including monster stocks that surged more than ten times in his memory, and some blue chip stocks that only rose less than double even in the bull market.

Half a year later, when the Shanghai Composite Index reached 4,500 points, he ordered the manager who managed his funds to start slowly liquidating the funds and withdrawing funds.

At that time, his key account manager advised him to wait and the stock market would rise.

Even the general manager of the Galaxy Securities branch where he opened an account went to Gu Wei to confirm with him whether all the companies were going to be liquidated.

After getting Gu Wei's definite answer, the staff had no choice but to follow his request and liquidate more than 10 stocks one after another within half a month.

At this time, the market is still very hot, and countless funds enter A-shares every day.

The daily turnover of the stock market is hundreds of billions, but Gu Wei still sells his money in half a month, which makes no splash in the market.

The final cost of 200 million turned into 1.1 billion six months later, with a net profit of 900 million.

Part of this money was used to buy the stocks of Moutai and Tengxun again, and part of it was kept in his hands while he was considering other investments.

Now it seems that buying a plane is a good choice. Investment is not necessary to make money, and it is also good to improve your life.

Outside the airport, the motorcade waiting for Director Sophie to pick him up was lined up.

This was the first meeting between Gu Wei and her. Before in China, apart from making phone calls and sending messages, they had only seen each other's face in video conferences.

Sophie is in her 40s, has an ordinary appearance, is thin and not tall. She is wearing a professional suit and looks very energetic.

"BOSS~

The hotel has been arranged, we can go there now.

People arriving on subsequent flights will also be received by others. "

There were no unnecessary pleasantries during the meeting, and Sophie spoke simply and directly.

Gu Wei nodded.

"Thanks for your hard work!"

After saying that, he followed her into the car.

“The staff from the union have been found, and when they arrive tomorrow, the movie can officially start filming.

Tsumabuki Satoshi landed yesterday and arrangements have been made for him to stay in the hotel."

After getting on the bus, Director Sophie kept reporting to Gu Wei on the preparations in New York, and all aspects were clearly arranged.

"Very well, Sophie.

It seems that inviting you to join us is the most correct decision for this shoot. "

Gu Wei praised.

After hearing Gu Wei's words, Sophie, who was sitting aside, did not speak but had a slight smile on her face.

Although she is a Chinese-American, she is different from those ABCs that have been completely Americanized. She grew up in Chinatown and was surrounded by Chinese people with the same yellow skin.

And influenced by her grandfather who took care of her when she was a child, she knows where her true roots are.

Her work experience when she grew up made her understand that in the United States, no matter how hard a Chinese-American tries, they cannot break through class barriers. There is an invisible wall that blocks their channels for advancement.

After all, real Americans will not treat them as one of their own.

And from the time she went to school and later entered the workforce, racial discrimination was something that everyone kept silent about, but it was everywhere, especially for Chinese people with yellow skin like her, who were even worse than black people.

This time, the crew of "Tang Detective 2" found her, on the one hand, the reward was really generous, and on the other hand, she had a good impression of the Chinese people who share the same origin.

I hope to have more cooperation opportunities in the future if you perform well.

To be honest, she is not very competitive in Hollywood, and there are not many job opportunities in daily life. Opportunities like the generous shots of the "Tang Detective 2" crew, and the position of assistant director are rare.

Gu Wei sat in the car and looked out the window.

There are all kinds of cars on the road in New York. There are rows of high-rise buildings in the distance. The Statue of Liberty mentioned by Yang Chaoyue is also in the distance. It looks like an international metropolis.

But when you enter the city, you can see that the buildings in many places are very old, and some of the streets are also dilapidated. With graffiti and garbage thrown everywhere, it feels like you have entered another city.

Gu Wei frowned slightly, a little worried about safety issues during the movie shooting.

Sophie saw from the side and knew what Gu Wei was thinking.

“New York is like that, it’s a diverse metropolis, it’s very tolerant and it’s multi-faceted.

Isn’t there a TV series in China that says this?

"If you love him, take him to New York, it's heaven; if you hate him, take him to New York, it's hell."

It's actually very pertinent.

This is a paradise for the rich and a hell for the poor.

New York is a big city. Manhattan and Long Island are wealthy areas where lawyers, doctors, bankers and businessmen live. The public security is very good.

Brooklyn has the largest slum in New York, mainly inhabited by black people, and shootings and robberies often occur.

But don’t worry, most of the locations we shoot at are landmark buildings in New York, and the security is very good. "

Gu Wei nodded and said nothing.

Soon, the convoy arrived at the place where the crew was staying. Although it was not a five-star luxury hotel, judging from the exterior decoration, the conditions were still relatively good.

After checking in, Gu Wei also met Japanese actor Satoshi Tsumabuki who arrived early.

He didn't have many scenes in "Tang Detective 2", but he became the main supporting role in the third Tokyo chapter.

Regarding the script of the original "Tang Detective 3", Gu Wei will definitely not copy it, and will make more changes than in the second part.

But he doesn't plan to change Tokyo, the place where the story takes place.

Tsumabuki Satoshi knew that the crew had arrived and waited at the hotel. After meeting Gu Wei, he shook hands and bowed respectfully.

"Don't be so polite. You will have your part when the movie starts tomorrow. Play well. I'm optimistic about you~"

As he spoke, he patted Satoshi Tsumabuki's shoulder gently.

After all, he is one of the major supporting characters in the third film, and his performance in the original version was also very exciting. Gu Wei had a good impression of him.

Tsumabuki Satoshi, who originally communicated with Gu Wei in English, was very surprised when he heard that Gu Wei spoke fluent Japanese and immediately switched to Japanese.

"Director, your Japanese is so good, with a very pure Tokyo accent!"

“It’s not that difficult if you have time to learn occasionally~”

Gu Wei said modestly with a smile on his face.

After the skill [Language] appeared on his previous panel, [English] became a minor item under the general category.

Later, he tentatively asked a teacher to learn some Japanese and Korean.

Sure enough, new [Japanese] and [Korean] skill items appeared under the [Language] skill.

Without hesitation, just use experience points to point them to [Mastery].

It is conceivable that according to this rule, as long as Gu Wei wants to, he can master all the languages ​​​​on the earth and become a true language master.

Even if you don't become a celebrity or a translator, you won't have to worry about having a living.

Haha, just thinking about it, no one can afford a translator of his worth.

"Awesome~Awesome~"

Satoshi Tsumabuki praised.

At this time, other people who had just entered the hotel also heard the two chatting.

Liu Yifei looked surprised. She had known Gu Wei for so many years, but she didn't know that he still had this skill.

She has considerable talent in language learning, and the environment in which she lived since childhood enabled her to master both Chinese and English languages.

Later, she signed a contract with Sony Music and released records in Japan. She also taught herself Japanese for a period of time. She could barely use it but she was definitely not as proficient as Gu Wei.

It is precisely because she has studied that she knows how difficult it is to master a language proficiently.

Gu Wei and his wife Mu Cong separated, and Liu Yifei came up to him.

“I’ve known you for so long, and I didn’t know you could still speak such authentic Japanese.

Being able to write English songs means that English is not a problem.

You are so popular and so busy, how can you have time to learn these languages? "

"Ahem~

Did you know that there is a kind of person called a genius?

Unfortunately, it's just the next one! "

Gu Wei said unceremoniously, looking like he was the best.

Liu Yifei looked at his face and curled her lips.

“You are said to be fat and you are breathless.

Great genius, can you tell me, what else do you know that I don’t know? "

"Sister Yifei, my kind is called a treasure boy. The longer we are exposed to it, the more novel things we discover, just like digging a treasure chest full of treasures.

You will experience it slowly in the future~"

After saying that, Gu Wei ignored Liu Yifei's reaction, left her and walked straight to the hotel.

"Treasure boy?

Neptune! The sea is also full of treasures.

I think there will be many girls digging for this treasure of yours! "

Seeing Naza Dian Dian following behind Gu Wei, Liu Yifei frowned and complained.

After arriving at the place, Gu Wei did not rest completely.

When everyone on the follow-up flight arrived, he called the main creative staff together, and everyone spent some time discussing the shooting plan for the whole day tomorrow.

Regardless of whether it is the camera crew, sound recording crew, art crew or actors, if you have any questions, ask them first and try to deal with any issues that may affect the progress of the filming before filming. After all, every extra minute of filming here costs money. Burning.

No need to worry about it. We only discuss the day's work tomorrow. From now on, this kind of thing will be a fixed link and will be done every day after completing the day's shooting tasks.

After about an hour, when no one said anything, Gu Wei announced that the meeting was adjourned.

"Baoqiang, I think you will bring an assistant with you when you come out this time. Didn't your manager follow you?"

Seeing Wang Baoqiang turning to leave, Gu Wei thought of something and suddenly asked.

"No, there are still some things for him to deal with back home."

"Will my sister-in-law come to visit me during this time?"

When he mentioned his lover, a trace of tenderness flashed across Wang Baoqiang's honest face.

"It's only 40 days, which is not a long time. I won't bother her. There are still children at home to take care of."

Gu Wei nodded and said nothing.
