hunt hollywood

In the evening, she went to Beverly Hills to attend a Halloween party. The Hollywood stars that she could only see on the big screen walked beside her one by one, which made her dizzy.

Because of her outstanding appearance, it is inevitable to be approached at the party.

If it was before meeting Chen Qing, Cheng Taixi felt that he would be very difficult to resist, and he might even become a nympho, but this time, because of a completely different mood, behind him...even if he hasn't seen him yet, but after all, it is someone who is close to Hollywood. The existence of a king.Since I am his woman, in front of these seemingly shining big stars, I unconsciously gain a bit more confidence, and can appear neither humble nor overbearing, even a male star I have seen on the big screen is entangled a bit too much , directly reprimanded the other party.

Originally, he was a little apprehensive after reprimanding him, worried that the other party would become angry from embarrassment, but as a result, the man quickly left in despair, which made Cheng Taixi more confident, and he was more confident about the so-called celebrities around him. Their eccentric superiority.

Returning to Brentwood Heights from Beverly Hills, it was past 10 pm.

Being dragged by Chen Qing to take a bath together, it was inevitable to be entangled, and it was already 11 o'clock at night when I left the bathroom.

Neither of them felt sleepy, so they came to a living room with a terrace on the third floor, where they could directly see the splendid night view of Los Angeles like an inverted starry sky.

The two women drank a glass of red wine while admiring the night view of the city. After all, it was cold at night. They retreated to the house and sat on the sofa together, turning on the TV at random. Chen Qing, who was still holding the red wine, was leaning against a corner of the sofa, with a pair of calves on the other side. On Xi's thigh, his face was ruddy, and he asked with a smile, "How do you feel today?"

how about it?

Of course, very different.

Cheng Tae-hee recalled it, but felt that he had been busy like ants for the past 36 years, which was a waste of time.However, how to describe it in detail is hard to say.

After a little hesitation, Cheng Taixi just said: "Here, the festive atmosphere is very strong."

Today is Halloween.

When you go around during the day, you can see festival-related signs and activities everywhere, as well as people in colorful Halloween costumes.

Chen Qing also nodded, feeling a little regretful: "Actually, last night was more lively, the Halloween parade, but unfortunately we were a day late."

Cheng Tae-hee has only heard about the Halloween parade in the West, but has never personally experienced it, and it is not regrettable. She is really satisfied today.Thinking of one thing, he said again: "Today, I passed by a movie theater, and I saw that big poster. Also, these are horror movies that are very popular in North America recently. Ms. Chen, why don't we go see them together tomorrow?" ?”

The show has entered its sixth week, and although the box office is still struggling, it has finally entered the second half of the show.

The hottest in recent days, in fact, it should be.

However, because of his fame spread all over the world during this period, Cheng Tae-hee is well-known even in South Korea. The problem is that although the film has already been released in Korea, and the box office is equally popular, Cheng Tae-hee was not in the mood to watch a movie some time ago.

The mentality is different now, plus, this is a movie produced by that person's film company, so of course there is a little more expectation.

Chen Qing became interested when she heard the words. She sat up straight and took out her mobile phone. After thinking about it for a while and dialing, she explained with a smile: "I want to watch it too, but we don't need to go to the cinema, because the place is so crowded." , I asked them to send a copy and watch it at home. Heh, if you get scared later, you can get into my arms."

Cheng Taixi stared blankly at Chen Qing after dialing the number and started chatting with the opposite party, gaining insight again.

Can this be done?

Chen Qing chatted with the opposite party for a while, then hung up the phone, and said to Cheng Taixi, "Half an hour."

Cheng Taixi nodded, seeing Chen Qing's calf dangling on her thigh, he quickly put down the red wine in his hand, and took the initiative to help Chen Qing knead it.

While chatting, the TV screen, which they didn't pay much attention to at first, attracted the attention of the two of them.

Chen Qing signaled Cheng Taixi to turn up his voice, and the discussion on the TV screen suddenly became clearer.

This is an evening financial interview program on a local urban TV station in Los Angeles.

What the host on the screen and the two guests were discussing was the financial sniper war that took place in Hong Kong in the past week.

After talking about the general details of the incident, the host first raised the topic and asked the two guests: "According to media reports, various short-sellers around Hong Kong lost at least US$300 billion in this financial confrontation. However, many people raised objections. One of their main arguments is that the daily trading volume of Hong Kong stocks in Hong Kong is only about 100 billion Hong Kong dollars, which is equivalent to only 12 billion U.S. dollars. What do you two think?"

"I think the figure of 300 billion has little error."

"Daniel, I think so too."

"So, Joe, Terry, can you explain it to everyone in detail?"

Among the two guests, the gray-haired middle-aged man named Joseph Wilkinson was the first to speak in the subtitles at the bottom of the screen, and directly showed the host and the audience a diagram enlarged to the size of a poster: "Look, everyone, this is Hong Kong The types of financial derivatives in the financial market include stock index futures, interest rate futures and stock futures. Among them, index futures include Hang Seng Index futures and H-share index futures just launched in the first half of this year. And 1-month Hong Kong dollar interest rate futures and three-year exchange fund bond futures, etc. Finally, stock futures, the list is longer, not only HSBC Holdings, Hang Seng Bank, Sun Hung Kai, Cheung Kong Enterprises, etc. China Telecom and other popular red-chip stocks, all of which have been the key short-selling targets of short sellers in the past few months. Danny, do you know what the biggest feature of futures is?"

The host named Daniel Corey is not a baby, and immediately said: "Leverage."

"That's right, leverage," Joseph Wilkinson said: "All these financial derivatives, through the continuous amplification of leverage, have a total scale of hundreds of billions of dollars, and the two sides of these hundreds of billions of dollars are short positions and long."

Another subtitle shows that a guest named Terry Sandford answered at this time: "I would like to add that not only Hong Kong, Tokyo, Singapore, and exchanges in North America and Europe can actually be around Hong Kong. It is even more difficult for us to know the scale of this part of the market when various futures bets are made."

After Terry Sandford finished speaking, he paused for a while, waited for the host and another guest to nod, and then said again: "And, Danny, I think the biggest problem is that this financial incident in Hong Kong is actually a It is equivalent to an extreme market like the stock market crash in 1987. The only difference is that this extreme market is man-made, under the extreme market, one of the parties in the zero-sum game will inevitably suffer huge losses.”

"Indeed, Terry is right," another guest, Joseph Wilkinson, continued: "It is rumored in the industry that this time only Deutsche Bank has lost more than 30 billion US dollars, and some say 40 billion US dollars. The problem is that Therefore, because the market trend is too extreme, almost all the short positions that Deutsche bet on have ended in liquidation..."

Terry Sandford showed a weird smile, and took the lead: "It's not just a liquidation, yesterday's final settlement day, because the settlement rule is the average point of the whole day, not the instant transaction that can make many liquidation. As a result, because the Hang Seng Index closed too high, I don’t know what happened to Deutsche Bank, but according to reliable sources, many short positions have been liquidated, not only cleared all margins in the account, but also owed the transaction Although the Hong Kong Futures Exchange has not released specific data on the large amount of funds, but this time, considering that many small short sellers simply cannot afford the additional loss of short positions, the Hong Kong authorities can only pay to make up for this part of the shortfall.”

The host Daniel just opened his eyes slightly: "Terry, how much do you think?"

"Don't talk about billions of dollars," Terry Sandford said, and added: "Just like the one in 87, it was also a large-scale liquidation under extreme market conditions. The futures exchange in Chicago couldn't afford it. The various capitals that made the wrong long bets could not afford to pay, and in the end they could only seek emergency rescue from the federal banking system, and replenished a margin of 37 billion US dollars overnight to avoid the collapse of the trading system.”

Joseph Wilkinson continued: "Frankly speaking, it was precisely because of the extreme market 10 years ago that speculative capital saw the huge profits in derivatives transactions. In the past ten years, the scale of the international financial derivatives market has expanded by several digits." More than ten times, just one Hong Kong, this time, the total scale of various financial derivatives transactions far exceeds that of the original Chicago Stock Exchange.”

Daniel nodded, and said again: "In that case, Terry, Joe, do you think the amount that the Hong Kong authorities will secretly pay for this time will only be a few billion dollars?"

When the host said this, the faces of the two guests became a little weird again, and they seemed to hesitate for a moment before Joseph Wilkinson said: "I think, Danny, this is just my personal opinion. Actually, frankly, I think, On the final settlement day yesterday local time, the Hang Seng Index closed at 11507 points, and the bulls obviously kept their hands."

Daniel asked: "Why do you say that?"

Joseph Wilkinson said: "Obviously, the day before the settlement day, Hong Kong's long-short game, the total transaction size is close to 800 billion Hong Kong dollars, which is 7 times the daily trading volume of the Hong Kong stock market in the past, you should be able to imagine. On this day , according to our judgment, under the strong sniping of the bulls, the short capital surrounding Hong Kong has basically exhausted its bargaining chips."

Daniel understood: "You mean, on this day, the Hang Seng Index could have been pulled to a higher position by the bulls?"

"That's right," Joseph Wilkinson said: "The daily trading volume is close to 800 billion Hong Kong dollars, but on Friday, the total trading volume of Hong Kong stocks plummeted again to only 370 billion U.S. dollars, which is less than that on Wednesday. A clear sign of the bulls holding back."

Daniel knowingly asked: "Joe, the bears have no bargaining chips, so do the bulls still have a lot of bargaining chips?"

The smiles of the two guests became more weird again. After hesitating for a moment, Joseph Wilkinson continued: "Well, we don't need to guess at all, Danny, it is obvious, with the Hong Kong government plus the Quantum Fund, plus, Victoria The power of Stroll, not to mention the 800 billion on Thursday, can easily bring the trading volume to 1000 billion Hong Kong dollars on Friday, you know, 1000 billion Hong Kong dollars is only 120 billion U.S. dollars."

When saying a certain name, Joseph Wilkinson obviously lowered his voice, as if he didn't want to be heard saying it.

The host Daniel continued to try to induce, but unfortunately, everyone clearly knew it, but the two guests couldn’t say much. In the end, the host had to bypass this topic and continue to talk about the losses of some short sellers in Europe and Asia.

The living room of a house in Brentwood Heights.

Chen Qing listened for a while, and saw that the three people on the screen clearly wanted to talk but didn't dare to talk deeply. For some reason, they suddenly became a little overjoyed, so they laughed. Start rolling.

At this time, Cheng Taixi, who was also considered to be in the game, of course understood why Chen Qing was laughing, and there was a certain pride in his heart, and he smiled along with him.That high-ranking man of mine really makes people...according to an inappropriate but inexplicably apt Chinese idiom to describe it, talking about it makes people turn pale.

Actually it is.

Obviously, many people know that the Hong Kong financial incident is a large-scale hunt by Wall Street led by the Westeros system to short capital from other parts of the world, but it is one thing to know in the heart, and another to say it.

The small media will be prosecuted for talking nonsense.

You are slanderous.

The big capital point is broken, so the question is, do you want revenge, and are you capable of revenge?Since you know that you can't get revenge and you can only suffer from being dumb, you still say it and do it, deliberately let some people write you down in a small notebook, and cheat you again in the future?

Chapter 1232 Blood Moon

Chen Qing and Cheng Taixi continued to watch TV and chat about the affairs in Hong Kong for a while. After about half an hour, someone sent over copies of movies, including the latest ones and the ones that are still popular.

In the dead of night, the two women were inevitably a little apprehensive watching a horror movie. Chen Qing simply called out Lily Favel and other maids who were still awake. Everyone prepared all kinds of snacks and drinks and went to the private screening room in the villa together.

Cheng Tae-hee was more interested in phenomenal ones, Chen Qing chose directly, and asked everyone if they had any opinions.

of course not.

So it was such a happy decision.

One of the waitresses took the copy to the operation room next door and installed it. When she came back, she turned off the lights, took a bucket of potato chips and sat down with everyone in a pile. past.

In the deliberately desolate tone, the opening chapter is a dilapidated small clinic.

This can be seen from the layout of the room and some text signs, the nameplate on the desk reads the words 'Dr. Mark Coles'.

The strange drifting camera continued to wander along with the cold wind blowing in from the window at night, and finally stopped at the door of a small clinic. Immediately, the door was opened with a bang, and the girls in the projection hall thought there would be a ferocious beast. When the ghost came out, everyone was startled.

Famous Hollywood villain actor Michael Madsen plays a tall and fat middle-aged man who looks more like a butcher than a doctor and walks out of the room with his mask on, followed by a pale young woman who is still clutching her belly.

Skillfully went to the medicine kitchen to collect some pills and wrapped them up. Dr. Coles looked at the woman who was weakly sitting on the bench, and said in a very indifferent tone: "It's like this just now, go back and rest for a few days, eat some Good things add nutrition, and it will be fine soon."

The woman just clutched her stomach and didn't speak.

Dr. Coles didn't say much anymore, wrapped up a bag of pills, walked up to the woman and threw it on her lap, rubbed his hands together and said, "Thank you for your patronage, five hundred dollars."

The woman pressed the paper bag on her lap, then slowly took the satchel, took out a handful of change, counted it, and handed it pitifully: "I only have more than 300."

As soon as Dr. Coles took it, he counted it and stuffed it into his pocket, and then he took out a card from the business card box on the desk and handed it over: "Well, who told me to be so kind, if other people around you are in need , Remember to advertise for me, open 24 hours."

The woman took the business card, nodded mechanically, grabbed the paper bag containing the pills, got up tremblingly and walked out, and was immediately stopped.

The woman looks back.

Dr. Coles pointed to the room just now: "Do you want to take that little thing away?"

The woman was taken aback and quickly shook her head: "No, I don't want it."

Dr. Coles didn't force it. He laughed and said, "Are you regretting it? There's no need to do this. A young girl like you can have as many children as you want in the future."

The woman smiled guiltyly, and left in a hurry without staying any longer.

Camera switch.

In the woods next to the clinic, under the lonely and lonely moonlight, Dr. Coles swiftly threw a hole on the ground with a shovel, kicked a garbage bag containing something at his feet into it, buried it, returned to the clinic, and washed his hands , change clothes, turn off the lights, then drive his own pickup truck, leave the clinic on the edge of the town, and return home.

The wandering camera watched the pickup go away, and then returned to the place where the doctor had just dug.

The icy moonlight was suddenly covered by clouds, amidst the sound of whimpering wind, suddenly, a real immature hand protruded from the soil, and soon crawled out of the body of a baby that was not yet fully developed.

Although it is easy to tell that this is just a spirit body without substance, so the degree of horror is slightly weakened, but the weird and incomplete appearance still makes people feel creepy.

It's just this terrifying scene that directly caused several female waitresses in the private screening hall to close their eyes and let out a soft breath in fright.

Chen Qing hugged Cheng Taixi who subconsciously leaned over, and also felt hairy all over, but she was more courageous after all, and continued to look at the big screen.

The ghost baby climbed out of the ground, stood up unsteadily, looked around, and called softly and childishly: "Mom, where are you, mother, why did you abandon the baby, mother, woo... woo..."

As the immature call turned into a whimper, the voice became more and more sharp and sad, and gradually filled with hostility. The spirit body of the ghost baby that was barely visible at first also gradually became hideous. Not only that, around the crying ghost baby, there began to be More baby spirits crawled out from the ground.

In front of a house in a small town.

The sloppy man who returned drunk knocked on the door, heard the screaming of the ghost baby, looked around suspiciously, but there was nothing, so he raised his head.

The camera starts to pan up.

The moon hiding in the clouds will reappear at some unknown time, but the moon, which should have been like a jade plate, has turned blood red.

The blood-red moonlight fell back to the ground again.

In the picture, not only more and more ghost babies began to appear in the woods next to the Coles Clinic, but also around the town, it seemed to feel some kind of calling. The female ghost in the skirt slowly climbed out; on the towering old tree at the end of the street, the hanged man with his tongue stretched out and his eyes protruding was grasping in the air with both hands, and fell on a branch without words, writhing and swinging; In the middle of the road across the town, an old man with a completely twisted head at [-] degrees tried to be straightened by his own head, while complaining about why he was driving so fast, his head was knocked crooked; in the bathroom of a certain house, there was a cracked In the vanity mirror, the face is full of dark lines, and the red-eyed ghost with red eyes is holding the sides of the mirror frame, and slowly pulls its body out of the mirror...

After switching several close-ups in a row, the camera zoomed out again, and in the mist that began to rise in the town, all kinds of ghosts screamed, the lights of the residents' homes were turned on one after another, and a woman screamed "Ghost!" ——' screams, the screen freezes, revealing the title of the film: .

After the wedge and the title, the transitional title and main subtitles of the Warrens' ghost museum scene began to appear.

In the private screening room in the villa.

The friends were all stunned, even though the series went against the norm in Hollywood from the very beginning and tended to scare the audience from the beginning to the end, instead of the usual plot mode where ghosts appeared until the end, but this sequel, Starting from the wedge, it is directly amplified, and there is no buffer at all, which is even more unruly.

Moreover, whether it is a deformed ghost baby, a drowned woman with a pale face, or a red-eyed monster crawling out of the mirror, they are all the most terrifying forms that can be given in horror movies, and any one of them is enough to make people hairy Standing upside down, my heart tightened, and I even closed my eyes subconsciously.

This time, a bunch of them came at once.

In the slightly soothing opening music, everyone came back to their senses. Lily Favel, who was sitting in the back row, carefully stepped forward and gently pulled Chen Qing's collar. Facing Chen Qing who was also frightened, she suddenly turned around. Falwell was taken aback again.

Chen Qing almost cursed.

When watching a horror movie, you sneak up on someone's neck and make trouble.

Lily Favel also reacted, a little aggrieved, and whispered: "Miss Chen, if I go back to sleep, I will have nightmares if I watch it any longer."

Originally, if Lily hadn't pulled Chen Qing's collar, things would be easy to talk about.

Now, Chen Qing, who was stunned inside and outside the movie, was not so easy to talk to, she immediately refused: "Don't go," she said, looking at the other girls who clearly wanted to leave under the light of the screen: "Don't go Watch it with me." Seeing that everyone's faces were downcast, each one was very beautiful, Chen Qing was heartbroken again: "We won't be afraid when we sleep together later."

When Chen Qing spoke, everyone could only give up the idea of ​​leaving early.

However, another waitress, Christie Latham, suggested again: "Why don't we turn on the light, Ms. Chen?"

Seeing the girls around her looking like little quails, Chen Qing became more courageous, hugged Cheng Taixi next to her, and refused again: "Turn on the lights to watch a movie, it's so boring, okay, turn them all off." Mouth, let's start."

In the light reflected on the screen, everyone looks at me and I look at you, so I can only give up.

Immediately, they didn't dare to look at each other any more.

Under the dim light, coupled with the suggestion of the film, the faces of the people around them seemed a little pale, not like living things.
