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

Chapter 138 Overturning the table

Just when Li Mingyang was immersed in the world of kung fu movies.

8 month 27 day,
Director Tian called Li Mingyang and told him that he had to take classes in the directing department at the beginning of the new semester. He could skip the acting department but had to attend the directing department classes.

This was the result of a meeting among school leaders. Director Tian also said that the school had given him a place to study in the United States and asked him to apply for a visa as soon as possible.

When Li Mingyang heard the news, he felt like he was struck by lightning.

What he lacks most is time. How can he have time to take directing classes? Apart from teaching him what is mainstream, it is of no help to him at all.

Studying in the United States is even more difficult. You will be there for at least a month, and after you come back you will definitely have to write a lot of experience reports, which are almost like a thesis.

In the end, you have to shoot something. You can't let down the country's cultivation and the school leaders' trust...

You can’t do your own things and can only follow the school’s arrangements. The school will provide you with information, directions... and also invest money in you.

The films are not shown to the audience, but to mainstream judges and foreign judges.

I'm so busy that I don't even have any winter or summer vacations...

"Mingyang, this way." Zhen Zhidan pointed at the venue and said to Li Mingyang, "I see that you have good body coordination. This aisle is a bit narrow and it's hard to set up a track. Can you carry the camera and move sideways to shoot?"

"Let me try."

Li Mingyang carried the camera and moved it sideways to shoot. He felt there was no problem. He accelerated the movement, but the picture was unstable even with the shock absorber.

Director Ye and Zhen Zhidan compared the pictures and discussed it over and over again. They decided that Li Mingyang's running looked more realistic, but the picture was unstable.

If you shoot in slow motion, the speed of the action and the speed of movement must refer to the movement speed of the camera, otherwise it will be difficult to edit later.

Under normal circumstances, they would not waste time and would just slow down the beat, but Li Mingyang could obviously speed up, so everyone decided to let Li Mingyang start practicing.

By the evening, Li Mingyang was able to keep the machine on track within ten seconds, which stunned everyone behind the scenes in Hong Kong.

"Amazing, you're really amazing. You're born to be a photographer for action movies. You don't even need to lay tracks for the running and fighting scenes."

"Is it great?"

"You'll understand when you start filming. Some places are very difficult to get right. To put it simply, you can run steadily for ten seconds, and there will be no difference between the picture and the track. You shoot a segment and stop, and we stop accordingly, and then continue running. That's it. We don't need to lay tracks in the future, which can save a lot of time. Some tricky places can also be filmed directly."

Li Mingyang nodded thoughtfully. He didn't expect that the lateral movement in basketball could be used in this way...

After work, Li Mingyang followed the director team to a script meeting.

In normal meetings, Li Mingyang doesn't talk much, and mainly listens. But today was a little special. Director Ye drew pictures, made gestures, and kept asking Li Mingyang if this angle and this effect could be achieved.

"Director Ye, I may have to go back to school in a few days."

"Back to school?" Director Ye was a little confused, but then he realized that Li Mingyang was still a student...

"It doesn't matter in the acting department." Zhen Zhidan said with a smile.

"Yes, it will be finished in more than a month. Ask for leave from school. If it is inconvenient for you, I can ask the investors to help you get leave." Director Ye said.

"Well... the school suddenly asked me to take a part-time course in directing, and I have to go to the United States to study with the school next month." Li Mingyang sighed.

"A soft ban?" Director Ye suddenly said.

"Nonsense, these are all opportunities." Zhen Zhidan smiled and shook his finger, patting Li Mingyang on the back, "When are you going to leave?"

"What will happen if I don't go back to school?" Li Mingyang looked up at Director Ye.

Director Ye patted the table and signaled everyone to leave, including Zhen Zhidan.

When there were only two people left in the room, Director Ye took off his glasses, rubbed his temples, lit another cigarette, put on his glasses, took a deep breath, and slowly said, "You are a well-known director after all. Don't worry about other things. It's just that you won't have the chance to win a mainstream award in the future. The academic school is the mainstream."

"I think so."

"Box office numbers are fake and too easy to be broken. Only awards are real. Let's not hold a meeting today. I'll give you a farewell party. We can work together again in Ip Man 3."

Li Mingyang scratched his head and asked Director Ye for cigarettes and a lighter.

After smoking two cigarettes silently, Li Mingyang put out the cigarette butt in the ashtray, having already made a decision in his heart.

If you can’t get it, then you can’t get it!

With no prize in mind, draw your sword and become a natural god!

……

After Director Tian learned of Li Mingyang's idea, he tried to persuade him for a long time, but Li Mingyang had made up his mind and would not compromise.

At the same time, he did not stay in the crew of Ip Man 2, but set off for Hong Kong.

On the plane to Hong Kong, Li Mingyang thought a lot.

InterContinental Hong Kong Harbour View Hotel.

Li Mingyang, wearing a black suit and sunglasses, walked into the elevator and went to the top floor, where he could see the restaurant with a panoramic view of Victoria Harbour.

As soon as the elevator door opened, a foreign waiter bowed and greeted us.

The huge restaurant was fully booked, with only a few large tables by the window having guests.

Wang Changtian and Lao Gu saw Li Mingyang coming towards them with high spirits.

We can't help but sigh that heroes emerge from youth.

They never thought that Li Mingyang was so bold as to overturn the table of Baidu and Huayi's capital.

Both of them are influential figures, and they think carefully before doing anything. It is impossible for them to take risks with Li Mingyang just because of a few words or one or two works.

The consequences of offending Baidu are something they cannot afford now.

However, Li Mingyang successfully persuaded the two to join this life-and-death capital war.

Because he lost, he was the one who suffered the most.

Sometimes, having a way out is actually a dead end.

Break the cauldron and sink the boat, fight against the odds.

Only then can you fight your way out.

The three of them exchanged pleasantries for a while and began to have the final discussion on the plan.

The lights are on and the night is still long.

The conversation was almost over. Lao Gu said with a smile: "That's it, let's start signing the contract." "Let me confirm one last time, Mr. Gu, can you really go public before Tudou? There will be such a big fuss, what if Tudou is forced to go public?" Wang Changtian said.

"No problem. Didn't I say it? If I lose, I will compensate you 1%. " Lao Gu took a puff of his cigar confidently.

Wang Changtian hesitated for a minute, nodded, and went to Guangguang's table to discuss the contract details.

Li Mingyang was actually a little worried about whether Youku could succeed, but looking at Lao Gu's attitude, he was sure to defeat Wang Wei.

Li Mingyang deeply suspected that Wang Wei had been set up long ago...

Wang Wei divorced Yang Lei because of a female ballet dancer named Tan Yuanyuan.

In 08, Wang Wei was having a passionate affair with that ballet girl and filed for divorce from Yang Lei.

However, Yang Lei, a famous female host of Oriental Satellite TV, did not want to divorce and has not signed the divorce papers.

After deciding to divorce, Wang Wei thought that divorce would inevitably require the division of property.

In order to prevent financial loss due to divorce, he began to transfer his property secretly.

Under his plan, a company that had completed four rounds of financing and had a market value of over 100 million yuan, had achieved the point step by step that Yang Lei mistakenly believed that Tudou.com was already heavily in debt...

In this way, Wang Wei successfully divorced Yang Lei with a breakup fee of 10 yuan.

And this 10 yuan is less than half of the money Yang Lei spent on decorating their new house when they got married.

When the news came out that Tudou.com was preparing to go public in the United States, Yang Lei realized that she had been cheated.

She found a well-known lawyer who specialized in property dispute cases.

After the legal team collected information from various sources, Yang Lei learned that Tudou.com, which Wang Wei founded before marriage, was premarital property.

But! The portion that increases in value after marriage belongs to the common property of the couple!

The liabilities on Tudou's books cannot prove that the equity has not appreciated. The equity valuation of Tudou has been on the rise, and it has the right to request a distribution for the increased value.

To strike the snake at its most vulnerable part, on the eve of Tudou's listing, Yang Lei filed a lawsuit against Wang Wei in court, demanding a redistribution of Wang Wei's shares. Subsequently, Wang Wei's property was frozen by the court, and Tudou's listing was put on hold.

The divorce lawsuit lasted for 8 months and was finally settled in 2011 with Wang Wei paying Yang Lei $700 million. But Tudou.com also missed the best opportunity to go public.

Rival Youku successfully went public during the financial litigation between Wang Wei and Yang Lei.

Although Tudou.com was successfully listed, it was no longer favored by the outside world and its stock price fell below the IPO price shortly after its listing.

In 2012, Youku merged with Tudou through a stock swap, and Tudou was delisted.

Wang Wei announced his "retirement" on Weibo, and he and Tan Yuanyuan did not end up together.

Now it seems... this woman named Tan Yuanyuan is most likely a trap!
Since ancient times, heroes have been unable to resist the temptation of beautiful women. Wang Wei cheated and finally killed himself.

And that team of lawyers was probably arranged by Lao Gu...

Tudou is in a hurry to go public, and Wang Wei must want to lose money at this time. Between 700 million US dollars and a market value of tens of billions, which is more important? Even a fool would know which to choose.

However, the lawsuit lasted for eight months, and the domestic video industry was exposed for fraud. Tudou was finally freed from the lawsuit. When it was listed on the US stock market, it went down directly due to a credibility crisis...

Because the game is so big, both Guangguang and Youku are being very cautious while finalizing the details.

Li Mingyang held a glass of red wine and looked out at the Victoria Harbour at night.

In fact, when the filming of Running Man started, he listened to Wang Changtian and just wanted to reap the benefits and cheat Huayi at the same time.

But he underestimated himself and Baidu's appetite...

Eventually he was kicked out.

When he was kicked out, Li Mingyang didn't think of flipping the table.

He just wants to slap everyone in the face with his work.

However, that day, Dapeng called him and said that Zhao Benshan wanted to take him and Qiao Shan as apprentices and wanted to hear his opinion.

Speaking of which, Qiao Shan and Dapeng are the relationship of nephew and uncle.

Qiao Shan’s master is Liu Da Nao Tou, and Liu Da Nao Tou’s master is Zhao Dashan.

And Dapeng is also Zhao Dashan's apprentice.

When hearing the news, Li Mingyang said congratulations but he couldn't feel happy in his heart.

There is a saying that it is hard to disobey a teacher's orders...

As a person from Northeast China, being able to have the King of Northeast China as a teacher is a supreme honor and a matter of glory to the family.

Apart from deducting wages from his apprentice, Zhao Dashan is a good person. When his apprentice has problems, he really stands up for them and is able to handle them. In the Northeast, there is nothing that he cannot handle... Those who understand will understand.

In the end, he got away with it safely, and after retiring for a while, he was able to continue filming and appear in front of the public.

He is not called the King of Northeast for nothing.

If we stop this, it will hurt the feelings of brothers.

Don't stop him. Although Zhao Benshan has no grudge against him, he doesn't want to offend anyone. After all, his disciples will have to make a living in the capital's territory in the future...

It’s an open conspiracy!
The two brothers, Big Wang and Little Wang, would not play such an open conspiracy. They usually played dirty tricks, especially in the entertainment industry at that time. Black could be said to be white. Everyone knew that they were brothel brothers, and no one could control them...

Li Mingyang suddenly realized that there was a powerful person targeting him, and both Wang and Dawang could hear what the other party said!

In the end, Dapeng gave up on becoming Zhao Dashan's apprentice.

Because his deceased father admired Zhao Dashan, Qiao Shan became Zhao Dashan's disciple.

It was at this time that Li Mingyang had the idea of ​​overturning the table.

Boss Zhao said something very right, never believe that Zuoshandiao will be fair.

Everything is an excuse. Huayi was successfully listed and has the golden signboard of the first private film and television stock. What does Guangguang expect to compete with Huayi?

If you rely on the Hong Kong circle, the Hong Kong circle has been beaten into what it is now.

Hong Kong films are imported films, and there are quotas on imported films, which is why there are large-scale co-productions between China and Hong Kong.

Rely on yourself?
