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

Chapter 116 I Don’t Mean to Sleep with You

In fact, he had always wanted to take advantage of senior Yang Mi, especially after he became a senior executive at Penguin. Yang Mi would ask him out to play every now and then, which made him want it even more.

However, Yang Mi later became too smart and had a good alcohol tolerance.

Plus, she always brings helpers with her, either her agent or Reba.

No matter how bad you play, you can't drink more than her...

"To be honest, Far Cry is tailor-made for you. Other movies are not suitable as a stepping stone for you to enter the film industry. Other agents or companies will never push the sweet girls or pretty girls they have worked hard to train to act in vulgar movies. For those who are used to exposing themselves, such as Liu Yan and Fan Binbin, the audience has seen more explicit movies and are not very interested in them. So if you act in this movie, you will definitely get a very high box office."

"I've already agreed to act, you don't have to lie to me anymore." Yang Mi flattered, "Next one! You must have more in stock!"

“You can’t act.”

"I don't believe it, unless you show me the script and let me give up." Seeing that Li Mingyang was unmoved, Yang Mi gritted her teeth and said, "At worst, I'll let you touch it again."

Li Mingyang waved his hands, "I don't mean to sleep with you. You really can't act, or it's useless even if you act. Whether the movie is successful or not, it doesn't mean anything to you."

After hearing this, Yang Mi became even more interested.

"I'm just sleeping with you, do you dare?" Yang Mi snorted coldly, lying on the table angrily, blowing her bangs, "It's so annoying! Each and every one of them is either sucking my blood or has bad intentions. Even the agent can't be trusted."

"That's what female celebrities are like, high cost-effectiveness." Li Mingyang said, standing up and walking towards the door.

"You want to run away! Can't you be nicer to me? I treat you as a friend, and you treat me as a tool. Shishi is good to you, but I'm not bad to you either!" Yang Mi said, and she began to choke up.

When Li Mingyang turned around, Yang Mi had tears in her eyes and felt very aggrieved.

"Let me show you a book." Li Mingyang opened Wu Zhikui's computer bag, took out The Three-Body Problem, and placed it in front of Yang Mi.

Yang Mi wiped her tears with the back of her hand, picked it up excitedly and started reading.

After reading patiently for a few minutes, Yang Mi suddenly lost her patience and started flipping through the pages quickly.

Snapped!
"What the hell is this! This is science fiction!"

"Yes! I like this novel very much and hope it can be made into a TV series or a movie one day."

"Why are you talking about it so far away? With your current fame, there are plenty of people who will invest in whatever you want to film."

"This book involves Wen Ge, and it's the opening chapter, which can't be changed."

Yang Mi was stunned, then shocked, and after a while she said, "You are indeed a lunatic..."

Li Mingyang's heart moved, and he said with a wicked smile: "How about I give the copyright of this book to Mingyang Entertainment, and we own it together?"

"It's fake, are you so kind?"

"Of course, there are conditions."

"What conditions? You don't really want to sleep with me?" Yang Mi said a little fearfully.

"Isn't your contract about to expire? I want your agency contract."

Yang Mi tilted her head in confusion, "What do you want to do? If you want to cooperate, Mingyang Entertainment will do!"

"A film and television company is just a shell. Talent is the most important thing. I think you are worth the money." Li Mingyang patted Yang Mi's bangs and said with a smile.

"What good things are you thinking about?" Yang Mi slapped Li Mingyang's hand away and stood up. "I want to be my own boss in the future and dominate my own career."

"I've never been generous, but I'm making an exception for you today. If you miss this opportunity, you won't have such a good opportunity in the future."

Yang Mi snorted and turned away.

Li Mingyang watched Yang Mi leave in a proud and cool manner, and suddenly thought that in a few years, when she found out how valuable this IP was, she would probably regret it so much.

Her worth cannot catch up with the value of the Three Body.

Yang Mi walked to the door and was about to open it when she felt something and looked back at Li Mingyang.

But Li Mingyang was seen lying on the table, seemingly laughing.

You are sick...you are actually planning to take over my agency contract!
……

In the following period of time, the recruitment of photographers at Beijing Film Academy became more and more active.

The high salary + the reputation of Beijing Film Academy + Li Mingyang's name attracted many recent graduates and current students from professional film and television colleges in Yanbei.

There are three types of Running Man photographers. One is the fixed-point photographer, who is responsible for the fixed-point shooting of each link.

One is Ruying, which is responsible for following the artist at a distance during the movement and providing supplementary shots.

The last type is the follow photographer, also called Follow VJ.

For each round of recording in "Running Man", all the people work non-stop for 17 or 18 hours. Cameraman is the position that requires the most physical strength, especially FollowVJ.

A thousand-meter weighted long-distance run is just the beginning.

It can only be used as a fixed point.

As for Ruying and FVJ, they still need more physical strength.

In addition to physical strength, the professional ability requirements of the running man photographer are also very high. In addition, good adaptability, collaboration and quick response are also required.

Few student recruits can achieve this, even those from Beijing Film Academy and China Film Academy are no exception.

The reason for using student recruits is, on the one hand, to fulfill the promise in a high-profile manner, and on the other hand, to find photographers who can meet the requirements, and the salary is not four or five thousand.

In this era, the only people in China who can directly serve as FVJs for Running Man are war photographers, paparazzi from Hong Kong and Taiwan, and location photographers from TV stations.

That price is extremely expensive.

Since we are all practicing, of course we have to pick those with potential and recruit elites from famous universities, so that at least their professional photography abilities are guaranteed.

As for physical strength, you can train it. Just train for a few months.

Outdoor variety shows are very complicated, especially top variety shows like Running Man.

Don’t spend money to buy the variety show encyclopedia, just copy the original film if there is no original film.

If you let someone who has only watched Running Man to shoot the film, he can only produce a weird version of the later seasons, but will not be able to capture the essence of the first three seasons.

Running Man is not just about tearing off name tags.

The program flow, framework design, game rules, and lines and gimmicks are just appearances.

Its transitions, camera movements, scripts... are the key. These are valuable experiences honed through thousands of trials and tribulations by Korean variety shows.

Only by paying copyright fees can you buy the Variety Show Collection.

The copyright fee for the first season of South Korea's Running Man exceeded 300 billion won, totaling 1.3 million yuan.

For all that money, all he got was a handbook, a few directors, and a whole film crew.

Later, copyright fees skyrocketed, almost increasing by 100 million yuan a year, but the number of people sent by SBS became fewer and fewer.

It’s not that the Koreans can’t afford to send people, but that Blue TV wants to do it themselves, and has been pondering the book over and over again.

The Variety Show Handbook is the essence of a variety show. It is so detailed that it is hard for ordinary people to imagine. Even the times of commercials are recorded, and the lighting, positioning, and camera shots are explained word for word...and it will be constantly updated, interspersed with a lot of valuable experience and content.

As long as the manual is available, with the scale of domestic TV stations, it will take only a few months to produce an authentic Running Man with a restoration degree of more than 80%.

The reason why the guide is so complicated and detailed is that it involves copyright. In future copyright lawsuits, the main reference will be the Variety Show Guide.

It is difficult to find a photographer for Running Man, but there are so many screenwriters in China who can produce the show.

As for the script, program flow, framework design, game rules, lines and gimmicks of Running Man...

These are the easiest for Li Mingyang, who has watched Running Man and participated in the production of several variety shows.

After all, all the subsequent variety shows used the same template...

As for why?
The relationship broke down because of the ban on Korean culture.

People in China no longer buy copyrights, they just copy and paste like crazy, copying all kinds of things without paying.

Go ahead and sue the Koreans, but the Chinese are too lazy to pay attention to you.

As a result, South Korea has no money to make, the variety show industry is getting worse and worse, and they are too lazy to come up with any innovation, making it impossible for China to copy them.

As for variety shows in Europe and the United States, they generally don't adapt to the local environment, are full of troubles, and few of them become popular. The most popular one is The Voice of Holland.

Li Mingyang feels that 10 million is enough to produce one episode of Running Man.

As for The Voice of China, it is a problem whether it can build a top-notch stage with 10 million yuan, not to mention that all the stage designers, lighting designers, and photographers of The Voice of China are top names in the industry, and their appearance fees are frighteningly high.

In addition, when Blue Channel was finishing the sound, the Dutch company Talpa sent dozens of people to direct the scene, which successfully completed the recording.

In a professional music variety show, everything is professional, and professional things are the most expensive!

On June 6, Li Mingyang, who only went to class occasionally but spent most of his time directing on the playground, finally gathered a photography team of more than 20 people.

Of these people, only fifty were left in the end.

Among them, there are more than 70 people from Beijing Film Academy. Li Mingyang will give admission to all students as long as they have good professional knowledge and are willing to work hard.

Next are those from the National Academy of Drama and Media China.

These people generally come from two departments, the directing department and the photography department.

The most difficult photography team was managed.

Li Mingyang held a meeting at Huahua Entertainment and set up three centers in Huahua Entertainment, namely movies, TV series, and variety shows. Li Mingyang was fully responsible for the three centers.

Movie center, leave it alone for now.

The TV Drama Center has a studio called "Diaosi Men" which is managed by Dapeng and Qiao Shan.

The Variety Center has a studio, the Running Man Studio.

Li Mingyang is the producer and chief director, the photography team is led by Wu Zhikui, the directing team is led by Dapeng, the screenwriting team is led by Qiao Shan, the logistics team is led by Zhong Xiaoyu, Zhang Xiaofei, and Xiong Yan, and the makeup team is led by Li Ming.

Everyone has gotten used to Li Mingyang's multi-tasking approach.

The division of labor seems quite detailed, but in reality, those who are more capable will do more work...

"Okay, let's divide it like this for now. Old Wu, you should find an individual training institution recently. When summer vacation comes, you will be responsible for leading the team and taking those people to physical training." Li Mingyang said.

"Should I train too?"

"If you want, then we can do it together. Being a director is actually a physical job, and your health is very important."

Wu Zhikui and Dapeng nodded.

Qiao Shan was chewing an apple, getting fatter and fatter, and his happier mood was growing.

"Qiao Shan, you are in charge of the screenwriter team. Recruit people. Try to recruit people from Beijing Film Academy. The salary is 1,000 yuan plus bonuses, and food and accommodation are provided."

"Where do you live?" Qiao Shan asked.

"We'll talk about this later."

Well, later again.
