40. the Financial Crises

Rowan opened it and found the tuna sandwich he loved.

It's not that delicious, and it doesn't stimulate the taste buds as much as Indian food, but it's convenient, fast and nutritious.

It's just enough for breakfast.

Anyway, he doesn't have to cook.

Rowan took a bite of his sandwich and thought it was really nice to have a female assistant.

He hasn't become particularly depraved yet, and he doesn't live the kind of life where a secretary has things to do when there's work to do and nothing to do when there's nothing to do. But he has to admit that Iife is indeed comfortable after having a female assistant.

The driver started the car and Rowan lay down to rest.

The business car was transformed into a nanny car according to one's wishes, a nd was also modified with bulletproof doors, so that you can rest assured during the journey.

For other actors, it is to take a nap to restore energy, but for Rowan, in addition to resting, he can also use the fragmented time to play a "virtual game"

When you get tired of playing, open your eyes and enjoy the fruits and hot milk handed to you by the female assistant.

Take a bite of fruit, then sip a sip of miIk.

Don't mention how nourishing the little life is!

The annual expenditure of hundreds of thousands of US dollars is worth it!

When they arrived at the MV shooting location there were already a lot of cars and many staff members were busy, and when Rowan got off the car, he took a quick look and saw many familiar faces.

Looking at the label on the equipment, Rowan knew what was going on this was a team and equipment rented from his own company.

This is the advantage of a big company, some small jobs can reduce labor and equipment costs.

If Rowan wanted to assemble a team to shoot, it would take a lot more effort than a large company, and the final cost would be much higher - but it's not certain.

In general, personal connections are still very important.

Rowan thought about this and took his female assistant to find the person in charge of the crew.

After a brief explanation, Rowan walked into the makeup vanity and began to put on makeup.

The filming lasted for three days in total, but as the leading male actor he didn't h ave many scenes, so they were all schedul ed to be filmed on the first day.

It didn't take much effort to put on makeup, and Rowan, as a tool, mainly showed off his body.

Rowan never gave up working out.

He relied entirely on natural training with out any technological advances, and over the course of a few months he steadily gained muscle to around 85kg.

Considering his height of about 1.85 meters, this weight is just right.

Many sprinters who are 1.85 meters tall weigh between 85kg and 90kg.

Although he did not control salt and dehydrate before the competition like the Olympic athletes to have more obvious muscle lines, Rowan's physical beauty is very stunning.

When Rowan left the vanity car shirt less, all the women and some of the men a Imost drooled.

Rowan felt somewhat pleased with himself "It was not in vain."

What? The bonuses of Dream Dungeon and Dark Phantom are technology?

This is a super power. Since super powers exist, it is reasonable and is a natural phenomenon, so I am natural!

He is in very good condition now.

The director was very satisfied and specifically instructed the photographer and lighting technician "Turn on the lighting later so that the light and shade of his muscles are more obvious."

The lighting engineer gave an 'ok' sign.

The photographer laughed quietly and said, "I have a feeling that after our MV is released, many women's magazines will definitely want this guy to be their cover star."

"Luckily those jealous people are not here."

The assistant director whispered, "Otherwise, if he sees him, who knows what might happen."

Female singers will use handsome men in their music videos, and Mariah Carey has also hired one, but they are all African Americans.

This is also because Mariah Carey is one-quarter African American.

As Mariah Carey's fame grows, more and more things come up regarding her mixed-race identity.

Plus there's an old goat, so it's hard to say whether anyone will cause trouble.

In order to reduce trouble, the director clapped his hands and said, "Work harder and finish the filming as soon as possible."

Although he wanted to start the video shoot right away, he still had to wait for an hour for Mariah Carey to finish her makeup.

Halfway through the journey, Rowan had already returned to the car to rest and started another dream copy.

He was playing the new copy of "Good Will Hunting"

_______________________

The role for which he auditioned was Chuck, the protagonist's good buddy, an uneducated gangster who hung out with the protagonist Will all day, fighting and causing trouble.

There aren't many scenes, but there are some highlights.

Because of this, many people auditioned for this role.

Previously, Rowan had always been offered roles directly, and this was his first time going through a formal audition process.

The most threatening one was a guy named Ben Affleck.

Probably because Rowan has a neck and Ben Affleck doesn't.

In the end, it was Rowan who passed the audition.

Of course this is just a joke, the real reason is that Rowan is more famous.

Rowan's pay was expensive. He received $50,000 for a small supporting role with not many scenes. But for the well-funded "Good Will Hunting" crew, it was just a small amount of money. Spending $50,000 to get a wave of traffic was a very cost-effective deal.

But when Rowan and Ben Affleck met, he really couldn't find the neck...

When he had nothing to do, Rowan would study "Good Will Hunting".

Because it is for entertainment, the realistic drama "Good Will Hunting" does not have much value. Rowan treats it purely as a game and does not follow the routine at all.

The poor student becomes the top student.

Seduce the campus beauty and have sex in a mansion.

Except for those that cannot be touched, Rowan enjoys playing anything that is exciting but it was during this time he read something in the newspaper that surprised him.

The timeline for the story of Good Will Hunting is based in the year 1998 which is a year in the future. Rowan wanted to see if the news in it is correct or not so he bought a bunch of newspapers for last few months to comb through only to find out that everything that happens in the real world happened here as well even the stock market is pretty much the same. And while reading the stock Market he learnt about the Asian financial crises.

Originating in Thailand, where it was known as the Tom Yum Kung crisis on 2 July, it followed the financial collapse of the Thai baht after the Thai government was forced to float the baht due to lack of foreign currency to support its currency peg to the U.S. dollar. Capital flight ensued almost immediately, beginning an international chain reaction. At the time, Thailand had acquired a burden of foreign debt. As the crisis spread, other Southeast Asian countries and later Japan and South Korea saw slumping currencies, devalued stock markets and other asset prices, and a precipitous rise in private debt.Foreign debt-to-GDP ratios rose from 100% to 167% in the four large Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) economies in 1993–96, then shot up beyond 180% during the worst of the crisis. In South Korea, the ratios rose from 13% to 21% and then as high as 40%, while the other northern newly industrialized countries fared much better. Only in Thailand and South Korea did debt service-to-exports ratios rise.

South Korea, Indonesia and Thailand were the countries most affected by the crisis. Hong Kong, Laos, Malaysia and the Philippines were also hurt by the slump. Brunei, mainland China, Japan, Singapore, Taiwan, and Vietnam were less affected, although all suffered from a general loss of demand and confidence throughout the region. Although most of the governments of Asia had seemingly sound fiscal policies, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) stepped in to initiate a $40 billion program to stabilize the currencies of South Korea, Thailand, and Indonesia, economies particularly hard hit by the crisis.

The effects of the crisis lingered through 1998, where many important stocks fell in Wall Street as a result of a dip in the values of the currencies of Russia and Latin American countries that weakened those countries' "demand for U.S. exports." In 1998, growth in the Philippines dropped to virtually zero. Only Singapore proved relatively insulated from the shock, but nevertheless suffered serious hits in passing, mainly due to its status as a major financial hub and its geographical proximity to Malaysia and Indonesia.

Rowan knew about the Asian financial crises but he never read about it so much in detail after all for him who was just a little kid at that time it didn't matter much but now it may help him a lot.
