Chapter 696 Where Are the Cheers?

"Is there anything in this world that I don't know how to do?"

In the live broadcast room, Luo Quan repeated the questions raised by fans.

"Of course there are, and there are quite a few. Don't think of me as omnipotent."

Luo Quan answered without thinking: "The things I know, or are proficient in, are basically artistic, and I value inspiration more.

If it's a trade that requires years of hard work, then my approach may not work.

But if you ask me to give an example, I really can’t say it for a while. "

As soon as Luo Quan finished speaking, a god immediately replied in the barrage: "Isn't this easy? No matter how good you are, you can't pee far away from me."

Afterwards, everyone burst into laughter immediately.

This is indeed a fact, no matter how powerful she is, she can't compare to boys.

Of course, these are just clever words, and they are simply meant to make people laugh.

"Okay, the filming of the new movie will start soon, and the live broadcast will not be available for more than a month. What do you want to say to me?" Luo Quan looked at the barrage, wanting to see the fans' reluctance to give up. Words of retention.

But after so long, everyone has long been accustomed to this separation, and everyone is getting ready.

"Go early and come back early. Don't go behind my back to find a wild man."

"Go and film the American Dream. I suggest you put some private goods in places where people can't find them. It's disgusting to them."

"Haha, Luo Quan, a celebrity, still does such unstructured things, isn't he destroying his reputation?"

"Indeed, if a dog bites you, does it have to bite you back?"

"There is no other requirement. Just win the Oscar for Best Picture. This will be considered a complete achievement."

"Don't forget that there is also the Best Director. Now the Best Actress has been awarded. If you get these two things again, it will be a record-breaking one given your age."

………………

After all the jokes in the barrage, the rest were mostly jokes.

However, she originally thought that after her vacation, the film would start shooting soon, but things always changed faster than she could control.

After months of printing money, the U.S. stock market crashed without warning.

In fact, it cannot be said that there are no signs. Many economic experts have actually given warnings. However, the false prosperity has stimulated investors and made them think that the market is very good now. They put all their savings into the stock market and become rich overnight. Sweet dreams.

Because of Mia's relationship, the Luoquan family received some news in advance.

However, most of her investments were in a Nikola company. It had been rising for several months, and now it was impossible to fall below the issue price no matter how much it fell. She was still making money, so she didn't pay much attention to it.

As for Dad, his shipping company is still in its infancy. Many ships are not yet in place and have not been listed at all, so there is no need to worry.

But those stock investors were in bad luck this time.

The sharp decline in the stock market was completely beyond expectations. It was the first time in the new century that the circuit breaker broke three times in three days.

In the past, a circuit breaker would be called a stock market crash, but this time three times in a row, not only ordinary people, but even economists called it outrageous.

However, economists study the stock market and rarely buy stocks themselves. When faced with this situation, they are only excited because of the rare situation.

But what investors lost was all real money.

In fact, the stock market crash already happened once last year.

I remember that Luo Quan was still filming "Frozen" at the time, and people in Las Vegas received news of the stock market plummeting, which resulted in many fewer gamblers coming here for fun.

However, not long after the stock fell at that time, the nuclear-powered money printing machine began to exert its power, printing money to make up for the losses, and the stock was quickly lifted back.

However, this method is obviously to drink poison to quench thirst and forcefully extend one's life, but it will also make the problem become more severe after it breaks out.

And now, three circuit breakers in three days are the sequelae.

This unprecedented plunge has also plunged stock investors into irreversible panic.

Financial giants who fished in troubled waters and shorted stocks also exacerbated the spread of this panic.

In three nights, countless people went bankrupt and even saddled with heavy debts.

There are not only stockholders from ordinary families, but also the wealthy middle class and wealthy people with strong financial resources.

Different classes gained the same life in this stock market crash.

On Twitter, the relevant tweets have already exceeded one million, and everyone is talking about it.

Some cursed the capitalists, some were thankful that they had successfully stopped their losses, and some were just enjoying the show.

"Fake——"

There was a burst of shrill curses outside the window, from top to bottom, lasting for several seconds.

Then there was a muffled bang, followed by several more female screams.

Luo Quan looked at the closed curtains, not daring to look outside.

This is the fourth time this has happened in the past few days. The first time she looked up and looked outside, she found a family of five lying on the ground. Her father and mother jumped down with their three children.

This human tragedy left her in a daze for a long time. Their miserable death was lingering in her mind all night, and she couldn't sleep at all.

The next day, when I was about to fall asleep, there was another movement outside.

This time there were only two dancers, two elderly couples in their sixties.

The third time, and the fourth time this time, she didn't watch it again. She couldn't bear it and felt uncomfortable watching it.

If she could have been on the rooftop before the tragedy happened, she might have been able to prevent it from happening, just like how she stopped the male Sony employee in Tokyo.

But these people were so decisive that they didn't give others a chance to dissuade them. They took off their shoes on Tiantai and jumped straight down.

Now the rooftop has been sealed off, but there are still people jumping from the building.

At this time, Luo Quan thought about singing, which might relieve his despair.

But it is almost impossible to replicate the miracle that happened in Tokyo this time.

After all, the sinking of Tokyo was a rumor at that time. Although she gave the people hope, she was not the one who saved the stock market in the end.

It didn't even need to be saved. Tokyo didn't sink, and the stock price came back on its own. She did play a big role in it, but it couldn't be called the key.

But now, Luo Quan feels that even if she writes ten songs, it won't have any effect, and many fans may even have no money to support new songs.

This matter cannot be solved by her alone.

Under the tide of the times, the role she can play is minimal.

The only good news is that although the U.S. stock market has plummeted, the economic crisis does not seem to have broken out.

After all, only stock investors lost money this time, and most people did not lose everything.

The subprime mortgage crisis in 2008 affected people across the United States who took out loans to buy houses.

However, there are still many homeless people on the streets, and the crime rate has begun to rise sharply. In some neighborhoods with poor security, zero-dollar purchases have begun to appear.

In some other cities, large-scale zero-dollar shopping and demonstrations also broke out, and Luo Quan always felt a bit familiar.

She had experienced this scene when she was in Los Angeles. The marchers were quarreling outside the street all night, and many shops were robbed.

The current situation seems to be even worse.

However, where there is pessimism, there is also optimism. After Bai Zuo saw that the social atmosphere was so bleak and the number of homeless people on the streets increased sharply, he began to organize a hand march to ask the government to distribute unemployment benefits.

They also launched the "Where's the Applause" campaign, where they distributed food to the homeless and asked them to applaud together. The video was then posted online to encourage everyone to continue to have hope for the future.

The intention was good, and it had some effects at first, making public opinion on the Internet a little more positive.

But it's a pity that I encountered pig teammates.

After stocks fell for a week and four circuit breakers occurred, the U.S. government announced a temporary shutdown due to financial problems.

The government shutdown is something new. To be honest, this is the first time Luo Quan has heard of it.

The government of a great superpower can actually shut down.

Interestingly, this has even happened many times.

It would be fine if this was a normal shutdown. The key is to let it go in this troubled time, which is more or less pretending to be dead.

The government shutdown also made the people's anger no longer suppressable, and they went directly to the streets to protest.

The stock price has fallen like this, and there are dozens of people jumping off buildings every day. It would be better for you, if you don't want to take measures to rescue the market, just lie flat.

With such a simple operation, the U.S. government became the laughingstock of the world.

This stock market crash is different from the financial crisis. Although other countries have also been affected, they can barely cope with it.

In the United States, it is like delivering express delivery under Big Ben, placing it above and sending it below.

In this environment, Luo Quan's film shooting has also been greatly affected.

Several people were missing from the original team. Some jumped off buildings, some went to protest marches, and some were shot after encountering zero-yuan purchases.

Luo Quan is quite sad that this happened. After all, they are all good employees in the industry. They have been using it smoothly for so long, but now it is gone.

Originally, the government should have said that it would cooperate with the crew and help give the green light in all aspects.

Now it is estimated that the government itself is in a state of distress and cannot count on anything, and the entire crew is also in a dilemma. It is not known when the construction will start.

The parade is getting more and more violent, and the public security is getting worse and worse. If it continues like this, it is estimated that it will almost be impossible to get out.

Fortunately, although the White House government has been shut down, state governments are still maintaining it. Some state governments have introduced laws to reduce the violence caused by arrests for zero-dollar purchases. That is, as long as zero-dollar purchases do not exceed $900, it is not illegal. .

When Luo Quan saw this for the first time, he thought he had seen it wrong.

This is simply outrageous. His mother took Li Bu back to her parents’ house for the New Year—Li Bu went to his grandma’s house.

Otherwise, it would be said that foreigners know how to make a living, but now he has seen it.

Thanks to the opportunities made in the United States, Luo Quan cannot start work now and can only continue to live broadcast at home.

"Wow Luobao, I don't see you looking so haggard today."

"These two big dark circles are as big as those of a panda."

"You also suffered a big loss in your stocks?"

"Your family's financial resources will prevent you from getting angry like this. Money is something external to you, so be considerate."

"That's right. If you lose hundreds of millions of dollars, no one will look at it."

"That's right, my back doesn't hurt when I stand and talk."

…………

After Luo Quan aired, fans saw Luo Quan's dark circles and said jokingly while feeling distressed.

The dark circles under my eyes are indeed a bit deep this time, but they are much better compared to the past few days.

"The main reason is that I haven't slept well these days." Luo Quan searched his dry eyes and explained: "As for the stocks, I didn't buy many stocks, so naturally I can't say I lost much."

"I heard that Ami is not doing well these days. What happened?"

"A series of contradictions have been triggered, coupled with the inaction of conquest."

"It's a traditional art, pretend to be dead for a few days, wait for the limelight to pass, then come out to clean up the mess, and then continue to print money, and the whole world will foot the bill."

“It’s not a big deal, but it’s a lot of fun.”

…………

To be fair, there are many up-bloggers on Station B who pay attention to international events. There are a lot of news related to the United States every day. You can find out what is happening with a little search.

It is indeed not a big deal, but the joke is enough for the whole world to see this time.

The chaos lasted until late April and towards the end of the month, and the government finally resumed operations after being shut down for many days.

As predicted by the outside world, it was time to print money and hold press conferences, and then the two parties began to blame each other. They were like the third party.

As for the financial giants who took advantage of the stock market crash, they are probably the only winners.

They make a lot of money and suck the blood of many people.

After paying an unknown price, the stock market crash gradually subsided, and the evaporated wealth eventually flowed into the pockets of unknown people.

And those lives lost can never come back.

The streets after buying for zero yuan are still in a mess. Fortunately, most businesses have purchased insurance for their stores and can receive compensation afterwards.

Otherwise, if something like this happened, I would probably have no other idea except jumping off the building like those stock investors.

In order to commemorate the tragedy that occurred during this period, "Black April" has become a word that has been mentioned a lot on the American Internet, and has even been written into Wikipedia.

In the encyclopedia, everything that happened during this period has been recorded in detail, and the names of those financiers who were rich and unkind were also written in Baidu.

Fortunately, Mia's family is not among them.

In her father's words, their family can no longer afford to lose the hard-earned reputation for such a small amount of money.

What they lack now is not money, but the same reputation as the Albert family.

In other words, you want to change from new money to old money, so some money cannot be earned.

By the end of April, all the turmoil had temporarily subsided.

The stock market has become a little more visible, but it is only a matter of time before it falls again next time. Everyone knows that it will happen again and again.

Come next time, I don’t know how many leeks will go bankrupt because of this.

It was under this environment that Luo Quan's "Forrest Gump" finally started filming.
