It was around one o'clock in the afternoon when Jiang Shanwu received Lin Zhao's call.
Jinshu Media Headquarters.
At two o'clock, just before a seminar started at the nearby China Film Studio, on a floor used for film and television post-production, Chen Qing was sitting in a lounge, just in time to come here in the afternoon to conduct a review of "Huan Zhu Ge Ge". A certain little maid doing some dubbing work. In fact, the threesome all rushed over. However, since her boss had a preference for little maids, and Chen Qing also loved women, she was not interested in the other two who could only provide natural lubricants.
The little maid also knew what was going on. She leaned obediently in Chen Qing's arms and allowed her to move around, but she still managed to find the best opportunity: "Sister Chen, I heard that there is a blockbuster movie in Hollywood recently that is looking for the heroine. Asians can also participate in the audition. ?”
"Yes," Chen Qing nodded with a smile and pinched the little maid's chin: "But don't think about it. That movie needs an action actress. Your small body is only suitable for being beaten in the movie."
The casting of the female lead in "The Matrix" has been a matter of great concern in the entire Asian entertainment industry recently, because not only Chinese-American but also suitable Asian actresses can participate in the audition. If you can win the leading role in such a Hollywood A-level production, for many Asian actresses, this qualification will last a lifetime.
Therefore, outside of auditions, many actresses are now trying their best to perform various operations.
Chen Qing also specifically asked her boss for more information. Not only is there no suitable one from the Mainland, but in fact, my boss still prefers local Hollywood actresses. In Asia, unless I can make my boss feel particularly suitable, there is not much hope.
"Of course I don't want to, I just want to ask," the little maid raised her face obediently: "But, Sister Chen, if there is a suitable role in the future, can you let me try it too?"
"Yes," Chen Qing agreed without hesitation. Anyway, the promise was free of charge: "Sister Chen, I'll help you keep an eye on it. Come on, let me kiss you first."
With that said, Chen Qing was about to lower her head and kiss the little maid's pink lips when Jiang Shanwu knocked on the door and came in, gesturing for the phone in her hand.

Chen Qing thought it was something important and sent the little maid out. Then she took the phone and asked Jiang Shanwu: "Who is it?"
Jiang Shan Wu said: "Lin Zhao."
Chen Qing was immediately disappointed, hung up and asked, "What's wrong with her?"
Jiang Shanwu just got the general idea on the phone and said: "Lin Zhao's father came to Beijing. Last time, Sister Chen asked someone to help solve Lin Zhao's brother's matter. Over there... Sister Chen, you know, let her father get it extra." The position of a factory director is a poorly managed machinery casting factory. Lin’s father came to Beijing this time and wanted to ask Lin Zhao to help attract some investment to continue the operation of that factory.”
Chen Qing raised her wrist and looked at her watch. It was already 1:45. She simply got up and planned to rush to China Film and Television. She threw the phone back to Jiang Shanwu and said only: "Let her die."
Jiang Shanwu didn't say much, and just followed Chen Qing out. Before she could put it away, her phone vibrated again. After looking at the caller ID, Jiang Shanwu answered the call. Without waiting for anything to be said, she whispered, "Sister Chen told you to die."
A certain little maid was still waiting outside the door. Jiang Shanwu stood a little further away, waiting for her sister Qing to flirt with her. After just a moment, she felt her phone vibrate again, took it out, took a look, and hung up.
China Film Headquarters is only a few hundred meters away from Jinshu.
The afternoon seminar was mainly about discussing the expansion of film genres, which happened to be the topic that Simon had discussed with Mr. Tong and Mr. Han of China Film Group last time.
Now, China's film industry is undergoing reform in all aspects. As the default leader, China Film Group must of course keep pace with the times.
In addition to Chen Qing, Jinshu also had Wu Shanlin participating.
During the three-hour seminar, Wu Shanlin put forward two specific suggestions in the name of Jinshu, a campus youth film called "To Our Fading Youth" and a musical musical film called "Flash Girl" 》.
Both projects were ideas provided by Simon himself from memory.
Simon didn't plan to pay too much attention to the TV show, but since it was brought up last time, he just gave it a push.
Both films were outstanding films in a specific genre of domestic films. The former was directed by Big Eyes and did very well at the box office. The latter has a niche reputation, and one of the duels between Chinese and foreign musical instruments is amazing. The reason why the box office was mediocre in the past, in Simon's opinion, is largely due to the inability of the publicity.
Because it is impossible for Simon to have time to write a complete script, he only gave a rough idea, which will definitely be very different from the original version in the future. However, Simon mentioned the details and highlights that need attention in both films.
The first is "To Youth". Simon provided two classic campus ballads that have been lost in this time and space as the theme songs, one is "Youth Without Regrets" and the other is "You at the Same Desk".
I believe that these two songs alone are enough to become a big killer to promote the success of the film.
As for "Glitter Girl," Simon highlighted the duel between Chinese and Western instruments.
In addition, due to the times, the two-dimensional elements in the film were definitely out of date, so they were replaced with classical dance. Simon also promised that the film could use some choreographers from the Chinese Style Art Troupe.
These two films, for China at this stage, can be two big genre developments as long as they can be done well. If it succeeds, other film and television companies will naturally follow suit.
Wu Shanlin brought it up at the seminar, naturally intending to cooperate with China Film.
It is not easy to mess up the domestic film and television industry, which is a state-owned enterprise and a private enterprise.
As for the type of comedy that Simon mentioned to Mr. Tong last time, "Love Call Transfer" at the end of the year will be followed by "Party A and Party B" which has been shelved for a year. In this regard, Jinshu will no longer share it with China Film. , after all, being too selfless is not good. If China Film wants to open up the situation, it can only do it by itself.
And of course there are bombshells.
At the seminar, China Film also mentioned the Chu-Han War-themed blockbuster that Jinshu is quietly preparing. However, compared to the low-budget "To Youth" and "Flash Girl", it is definitely a blockbuster in China. The Chu-Han War involved too much and it was impossible to decide it on the spot.
five o'clock.
After the seminar, there was another high-level dinner.
When night fell, Chen Qing was chatting and laughing with a group of industry bosses at the dinner party. Jiang Shanwu came over again and said that his sister Jiang Yuanchi from the mansion had called. Lin Zhao went to Maoer Alley and was alone. Waiting outside the door.
Chen Qing was simply annoyed. She whispered and told her to wait and ignored him.
It was already past nine o'clock in the evening when the dinner ended.
Returning to Mao'er Hutong, when the car was about to enter the underground garage under the main house that was just officially opened last week, Jiang Shanwu beside him gently reminded the slightly tipsy Chen Qing: "Sister Chen, over there at the door."
Chen Qing turned around and saw a tall figure wrapped in a camel-colored trench coat standing alone under the street light. When she saw the car, she didn't dare to step forward, but just looked at it pitifully.
This is perseverance enough.
Chen Qing said helplessly: "Let her go in and take her to the inner courtyard to wait for me."
Jiang Shanwu responded and dialed a mobile phone number to explain a few words. The car had already entered the underground garage.
The underground space of the main house with five entrances in the courtyard, which is equivalent to the yard above ground, was quietly built for nearly two years. In fact, it is equivalent to building another luxurious mansion underground. Because the design of various materials is top-notch, more than 100 million yuan was invested in it. It is more than ten times more expensive than the original five-level house on the land.
The underground garage actually occupies only a quarter of the space. With a garage of more than 600 square meters, it is easy to park dozens of luxury cars of various types.
After investing a lot of money, the style of this garage has no similarity with the common underground garages of buildings. When Chen Qing got off the car in the underground garage, under the bright lights above her head, she was surrounded by light-colored marble-style square columns and The parking compartment composed of white maple-style walls and glass curtain walls is full of modernity.
There is an elevator that goes directly to the ground in the garage, but Chen Qing did not go up. Instead, she entered the basement area inside through a door.
This side is also designed in a simple and bright modern style, including wine cellars, cinemas, gyms, entertainment rooms and other areas. The innermost area also has complete bedroom suites and a corridor leading to the underground swimming pool in the east side yard. Because of the artificial lake in Keyuan, only part of the underground courtyard in the middle has been built.
In fact, the original design of the basement was planned to be similar to the ground floor, with a retro courtyard style, etc. The renderings were submitted but were directly rejected by Simon.
It's too much like a tomb.
unlucky.
Finally settled on the current style.
Chen Qing felt that the underground suite was a good place to do some rather evil things. She hinted at it during the video conference with her boss last night. The boss had no objection, so she planned to arrange it quietly.
After carefully checking each room, Chen Qing entered the inner courtyard and still did not go up. Instead, she entered the underground swimming pool in the easternmost courtyard through the corridor across the courtyard.
I plan to take a bath to relax and sober up.
When she stepped into the steaming hot spring pool next to the big pool, Chen Qing allowed herself to be bathed and massaged by the Jiangshanwu sisters, while reading the economic situation reports of various Asian countries and regions today.
On the mainland, after Simon left, the stock and bond exchange rates no longer fluctuated much. However, other parts of Asia are still experiencing ups and downs.
Today is also very unsettling, and there are two major things happening directly.
The first one is that the NT dollar abandons its defense.
This is something that many people have not thought of, including many international speculators, because unlike South Korea, which is almost out of ammunition and food, Taiwan has more than 80 billion US dollars in foreign exchange reserves, sufficient ammunition, and strong troops.
Then Ya abandoned the defense.
This reminded Chen Qing, who was soaking in the hot spring swimming pool, of a famous line: Once our army retreats thousands of miles away, the enemy cannot catch up.
It's really traditional.
However, Chen Qing is certainly not so superficial, and probably understands the underlying reasons.
Unlike South Korea, which is riddled with problems in all aspects of its stock and debt exchange rates, Taiwan's economy is very healthy. This time it voluntarily abandoned the fixed exchange rate. On the one hand, it is to avoid unnecessary huge foreign exchange consumption. On the other hand, other Asian countries As national and regional currencies are devaluing one after another, if the New Taiwan dollar continues to hold on, it will be equivalent to a disguised appreciation, which will seriously affect the exports of regional companies.
This is also true.
Everyone knows the fundamentals of Taiwan. Therefore, although they gave up, international speculators did not rush in. Today, the exchange rate of the New Taiwan dollar against the US dollar only fell 3.4%, which has nothing to do with the overall situation.
However, the abandonment of the New Taiwan Dollar is equivalent to the loss of a resistance force in Asia, which in disguise has caused a significant increase in pressure on other regions. As a result, the stock and bond exchange rates of Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Singapore and other countries or regions have plummeted today. , directly led to the second major event.
The South Korean government lifted restrictions on the rise and fall of the Korean won.
After giving up guarding the won's exchange rate on October 16, the Bank of Korea issued an emergency announcement today, announcing that it would cancel the 12% one-day drop limit for the won in the foreign exchange market and allow the exchange rate to float freely up and down without restriction.
As a result, today alone, the won fell by 17%, from 1,363 won to 1 US dollar to 1,594 won to 1 US dollar.
According to the information in Chen Qing's hands, in South Korea, due to dissatisfaction with the government's move to lift restrictions on the rise and fall of the Korean won, there was another small-scale public protest in the Seoul area today.
Chen Qing just found this a little funny.
Sure enough, the majority are stupid.
The current situation in South Korea is that a large number of overseas investors are selling and cashing out to collect debts and flee. If the limit on the rise and fall of the Korean won exchange rate is maintained, it will be equivalent to asset protection for overseas investors, allowing them to hold their holdings at a higher value. Some won or corresponding assets were converted into other currencies and then withdrawn from South Korea.
South Korea's foreign exchange assets will therefore be lost faster.
Abandoning the price limit, the South Korean won fell rapidly, seemingly devaluing the currency. However, doing so can not only reduce the remittance pressure on the country and enterprises, but also force some capital that cannot afford losses to stay temporarily and look forward to a turnaround in the Korean economy.
However, most Korean people do not understand these good intentions of the country's top leaders. They only intuitively believe that the national currency should not be allowed to depreciate rapidly in any case. Just like a few days ago, more than 100,000 people took to the streets to oppose South Korea's request for assistance from the IMF. Delay will only cause the country to lose more bargaining chips, and even be forced into a corner, and finally surrender completely and unconditionally.
After carefully flipping through the more than 20 pages of the report in his hand, Chen Qing completely sobered up from her light drinking state.
Only then did he remember that someone seemed to be waiting for him, so he asked Jiang Shan Wu, "What's going on over there at Lin Zhao?"
Jiang Shanwu looked at his sister. She had been following Chen Qing all day long and didn't know much about it.
However, Jiang Yuanchi had already found out everything, including Deputy Mayor Jiang who was coming with him this time, and even what Lin Zhao's father was doing in the Xidan shopping mall today.
Chen Qing listened to Jiang Yuanchi's explanation in detail and said irritably: "It's Qin Buzui and Lin Zhao's, why is it all about family ethics? I hate this kind of TV series the most." After speaking, she glared at the sisters next to her: " Take care of yourselves, if your family dares to make such a fuss and bother me, just get out."
The two sisters nodded together.
Jiang Yuanchi originally wanted to ask Lin Zhao what to do, but he immediately shut up when he saw this.
If it were just Chen Qing herself, she wouldn't pay attention to these nonsense. The problem is that she is her boss's big housekeeper in Asia. No matter how bad she is, she can't really make trouble with her boss over a trivial matter. She needs to think about it for a moment. , and finally asked again: "Where is she from?"
"Hunan."
"Hunan, oh, have Trinity and Zhonglian caused any family ethics drama recently?"
Jiang Yuanchi heard Chen Qing's analogy and said with a smile: "No, after we promoted the merger of the two companies in the first half of the year, all the uneasy factors have been eliminated."
"Um, Xiao Wu?"
"Mechanical casting factory," Jiang Shanwu keenly understood Chen Qing's thoughts and answered proactively, adding a little: "If it's not too bad, it should be able to provide some parts for Sany."
"Let Sister Ran say hello to the Hunan side tomorrow and check it out. If it can be used, I will give you some orders. If you are short of money, let them borrow money. If it can't be used, tell Lin Zhao to stop bothering me."
Jiang Shanwu nodded and asked tentatively: "Then... above?"
"Annoying, let someone take her back later, as far away from me as possible."
Jiang Shanwu smiled and agreed.
Jiang Yuanchi waited for a moment and then talked about another thing: "Sister Chen, Qin Buzui came back from Sichuan and made several calls during the day?"
"I'm restless, there are a lot of things," Chen Qing complained, but still ordered: "Let her wait, and let people watch her a little bit, especially on the Wenyu River side, don't let her go there Fighting again, oh, this whole mess is really annoying."
Jiang Yuanchi also agreed, smiled and helped Chen Qing gather her wet hair, and said, "She will definitely not find it."
Chen Qing shook her head slightly and said: "Actually, I really want to see the mother and daughter fight. It's exciting just thinking about it. Even if they break it, the boss will definitely come to me to settle the score. Oh, it's so annoying."
Jiang Yuanchi helped Chen Qing fix her hair. After hearing this, he paused and said, "Then call the other two over. I mean, aren't there mother and daughter on the Wenyu River side? Let them call Sister Chen to see, right? If you're drunk, be more careful and don't break it, and the boss won't know."
Chen Qing was immediately awakened, and she leaned over and kissed Jiang Yuanchi on the cheek: "Why didn't I think of that? You're so smart. That's it. Let Lian Ying send them here now."
Jiang Yuanchi nodded.
I feel like I'm a bit of a helper, but just help me.
Having been around Chen Qing for a long time, Jiang Yuanchi felt that he had also unknowingly learned bad things, but no matter what, she was just a little maid. If she wanted to feel better, of course she had to figure out her master's thoughts. So she twisted slightly under Chen Qing's embrace, took her mobile phone and dialed the housekeeper Lian Ying in the Wenyu River mansion area, and explained this.
