After all of them were reborn, who would still be an actor?

Chapter 109 I don’t want to spend money myself, so I can only cheat Lao Jia

"Director Li, what were you talking about with Teacher Huang?"

Li Mingyang looked back at Zhang Xiaofei, then at Yang Mi's departing back. He said with a smile, "If she wants to know, why doesn't she ask herself?"

Zhang Xiaofei said awkwardly: "I don't know..."

"Teacher Huang forced me to go to the directing department."

"Isn't that great?"

"The Beijing Film Academy's directing department hasn't produced a good director in many years."

"Too……"

Li Mingyang was about to ask Zhang Xiaofei where he planned to go after graduation when his cell phone rang. It was Zhang Ruoyun's father.

"Hey, uncle, how did the talk go?"

"This Jia Yueting is too talkative. I can't argue with him. You should come and talk..."

"alright."

After hanging up the phone, Li Mingyang looked at Zhang Xiaofei, his first female lead.

The image is not very good.

Among sketch actors, Zhang Xiaofei is considered a beauty and stands out.

In the acting industry, even if she ranked first in her professional courses, she was not pretty enough and had no characteristics, which was her original sin!
In contrast, her other three roommates, Yang Mi, Yuan Shanshan, and Zhang Xuan, all have their own beauty, their own talents, and their own characteristics.

Even if Li Mingyang can come up with "Hello Mom" ​​in advance, Zhang Xiaofei is only 23, it's not appropriate for her to play the role of a mother...

"You'd better stop hanging out with Yang Mi. Even if she is willing to take you with her, her resources are mostly ancient costume dramas, which you can't afford." Li Mingyang thought for a while, "So after you graduate, go to Hengdian to find Zhong Xiaoyu, teach her how to act first, and then shoot a TV series together. How long you can enjoy the benefits depends on you."

Zhang Xiaofei was stunned for a moment, then ecstatically said, "Thank you, Director Li."

Li Mingyang encouraged him a few more times, and seeing that the time was almost up, he called Dayun to go with him to find his father.

Half an hour later, Li Mingyang and Zhang Ruoyun arrived at the teahouse and met the talkative Old Jia and Zhang's father with a gloomy face.

As soon as Zhang's father saw Li Mingyang, he was overjoyed. He had heard that LeTV's boss Jia was eloquent, but he didn't expect him to be so eloquent. It gave him a headache.

"Mr. Jia, why don't you have a cup of tea? You must be very thirsty." Li Mingyang smiled and called the waiter over, ordering a pot of Longjing tea and some melon seeds.

"If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten that I'm actually a little thirsty."

When the waiter brought the Longjing tea, Jia Yueting drank the tea and boasted, while Li Mingyang ate melon seeds and listened to Jia's boasting.

Zhang Ruoyun and his son looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

Just when their patience was running out.

Li Mingyang suddenly lay on the table and laughed.

He didn't hear a word Lao Jia said. He was thinking about what Lao Jia had done, and suddenly he remembered about returning to China next week.

When it comes to marketing, Boss Lei is definitely an expert.

Lao Jia is not much behind, but his marketing is mainly done through PPT.

Using PPT, LeTV's market value was pushed to a terrifying 170 billion yuan.

Neither Huayi nor Wanda Films has ever reached this market value.

But LeTV has achieved it.

In fact, as early as when LeTV went public in 10, many people stood up to warn of the risks. However, seven years later, when LeTV collapsed, it was revealed that it had committed fraud in its IPO.

But Jia Yueting had already left, leaving 18 LeEco shareholders to face more than a dozen limit-down crashes. His PPT car-making was a cancer in the industry, and later destroyed the jobs of many big companies who liked to make PPTs.

"Director Li, have you thought of something happy?" Lao Jia said.

"That's what happened in the past." Li Mingyang looked at Zhang's father. Zhang's father understood and pulled Zhang Ruoyun out.

Li Mingyang put the melon seeds in his hand into the plate, "The Sugar Man drama in my hand is 1200 million, and the drama in Uncle Zhang's hand is 200 million. If you agree, we will sign the contract immediately."

"The dramas he has are old, and they are period dramas and war dramas. They are hard to sell! Which young people want to watch such dramas that make people cry and scream!"

"He's talking to you about the buyout price!"

"The buyout is not worth much, at most three hundred thousand."

Old Jia still knows a lot... Those dramas starring Zhang Ruoyun's father are really bad. The spy war drama "The Hidden Ceiling" released last year only sold more than 40,000 for the online broadcast rights for one year.

Zhouyi Films, which was once very popular, now has a few thousand yuan for a drama and no one buys it. Even pirated copies are rarely watched...

But since he needed help from others and didn't want to spend his own money, he had no choice but to cheat Lao Jia.

Seeing that Lao Jia was about to chatter again, Li Mingyang reached out to stop him, "Boss Jia, you know about light, right?"

Lao Jia shut up.

Although Guangguang is suppressed by Huayi, in the private film and television industry, only Huayi can suppress it. If Guangguang comes in to make trouble, it would actually be a good thing as it can raise prices.

But he doesn’t have enough dramas! He hasn’t even had time to buy the online broadcasting rights for Hong Kong movies!

"One million at most. I'm doing this for your and Mr. Wang's sake. Director Li, don't raise the price. You can easily make more than one million for just one episode of a behind-the-scenes variety show. We're all busy. Let's just treat this as making friends."

"Do you want to take part in the behind-the-scenes footage?" Li Mingyang asked.

Old Jia was stunned and slapped his thigh. "Director Li is really quick to speak. That dull guy hasn't gotten to the point for a long time. Have you thought of a name for this tidbit? The name is not important. What's important is the content. Don't listen to Wang Wei and Lao Gu's nonsense. Two million per episode? Give it to me and I'll sell it to you for three million per episode."

“I want to sell it to a TV station, but I also want to keep the copyright.”

"Guangzhou made its fortune by producing entertainment programs, so Wang Changtian should be more professional, right?" Lao Jia was confused.

I am just a middleman. If you want to keep the copyright, you should go to Guangguang!

No, no, doesn't that mean Guangxian doesn't intend to get a piece of the pie? That's impossible!
He spent so much money to promote Li Mingyang, wasn't it just for that behind-the-scenes footage?

"Guangguang has a very close relationship with the TV station. The TV station insisted on participating. Wouldn't he give it to them?"

"Isn't your idea wrong? Your behind-the-scenes footage is a variety show. Unless variety shows are broadcast entirely online, they can't get around TV stations. It's impossible to make money and not be restricted by TV stations at the same time." Lao Jia asked in confusion, "Those major TV stations should have talked to you, right?"

"Except for Mango and Dongfang, I haven't contacted the others. It's better not to do anything, you know."

At present, domestic television stations have not separated production and broadcasting. The rise of online media platforms has promoted the reform of separating production and broadcasting of television stations.

Even if they are separated, the TV station will still be the one holding the initiative.

Either be acquired or be poached, the choice is one.

"Neither of these two companies is a good partner. Your variety show will definitely make a lot of money from advertising. You can't avoid them. If you have to choose, they are actually the same." What Lao Jia said was the same as if he hadn't said nothing.

In fact, Li Mingyang had thought about these issues a long time ago, but he didn't have any good ideas, so he could only ask the copyright middleman for advice.

Currently in the video industry, the one that is most aggressive in challenging copyright is Sohu, while the one who understands the rules of copyright the best is Jia Yueting.

Lao Jia wanted to get some behind-the-scenes information, but Li Mingyang’s ideas were too fantastic and he was extremely obsessed with copyright. He talked nonstop for more than three hours.

It's almost dark.

"How about we talk about the copyright issue? I'll add another 200,000, a total of 13.2 million. As for how to divide it, it's up to you. It's not a one-time payment anyway. If you postpone it for a year or two, what can he say?"
