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

Chapter 142: A bombshell, the whole audience was in uproar!
Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Flame is a costume detective blockbuster produced by Huayi with an investment of over 100 million yuan, directed by Xu Ke and starring Andy Lau.

"This is obviously a lie, but her mother actually believed it." Li Mingyang said with a wry smile.

Wang Changtian shook his head and said, "Not necessarily. Compared to Liu Yifei, you are the most difficult one to deal with."

Li Mingyang threw the information on the coffee table, stood up, took out a can of beer from the refrigerator, and drank most of it in one breath.

"I always feel something is wrong. It would be so easy for Wang Xiao and Wang Da to break Li Chen's legs. If they wanted to cause trouble, they should have done it right at the beginning. Why did they have to do it at the last minute?"

"Liu Yifei tricked Huayi and made Huayi lose face. How long has it been since then? It is impossible for us to cooperate again..."

"This is not the style of a big or small king!"

"Do you suspect there is someone else behind this?"

"What do you think."

Wang Changtian picked up the thermos cup and blew into it continuously until all the white smoke disappeared, without even taking a sip. "Could it be Boss Zhao?"

"Does she have that ability?"

"She is from Dongyang. She used to build a film and television base with Guangsha and fought against Hengdian for many years. Although she lost in the end, it takes a lot of talent to fight Hengdian for so long. Otherwise... Anyway, she is very powerful. If she is really willing to give advice, the big and small kings are willing to listen."

"No, Baidu and Huayi are so sweet together, which does her no good at all. She is the one who is most looking forward to my revenge against Baidu and Huayi!"

"If it's not her, who else could it be... People in the Internet circle don't understand our industry at all... Wang Jinhua..." Wang Changtian frowned.

Li Mingyang finished the rest of the beer and was in a bad mood.

The momentum and profits of Baidu, Huayi and Tianyu are so huge that it is rare in the domestic entertainment industry.

Wang Jinhua fought with Tiancheng and was badly hurt. She left Tiancheng with a large number of artists and recently established Shiba Culture. It is time for her to recover.

It is reasonable to make peace with Huayi and make a fortune.

The two leading actors in Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Flame, Carina Lau and Tony Leung, are both Wang Jinhua's people.

"It's probably a collaboration."

Huayi and Wang Jinhua can play mahjong with all the cards in their hands...

It can be said to be the most terrifying existence in domestic entertainment.

"It's nothing to be afraid of if they don't agree on the surface and their hearts are not in harmony." Wang Changtian took a sip of tea and laughed, "Wang Jinhua is not an easy person to deal with, and Wang Dajun is not a good person either. The cooperation is only temporary. As long as there is a little mistake, the contradiction will intensify. The new hatred and old hatred will be as strong as they were in the past."

Li Mingyang nodded. "That's true, but cooperation between the two sides is not good for us! Almost all the financial sponsors in Beijing are on their side."

"You know all this..." Wang Changtian originally wanted to comfort Li Mingyang, but he didn't expect that Li Mingyang even knew this.

"It's not a big secret. The higher-ups need Huayi to contribute to the film industry, so they'll turn a blind eye. But she'll be hammered sooner or later!" Li Mingyang grinned, "How about hammering her first?"

Wang Changtian waved his hands quickly, "Don't fight with her. Her network of contacts involves many bigwigs in the Central Academy of Drama and Beijing Film Academy. If you fight with her, you will suffer a lot."

Li Mingyang frowned slightly, "There is something I forgot to tell you. The school asked me to take a concurrent course in directing in the new semester, and also gave me a place to study abroad."

Wang Changtian was suddenly shocked. If Li Mingyang went abroad at the critical moment, the plan would be ruined and he would have to take charge of all the projects!
"I'll go to Beijing Film Academy in a few days, and they should give me some face."

Li Mingyang sat on the bar stool, lowered his head and held a cigarette in his mouth. After lighting it, he sneered and said, "Let's talk about it. I won't go. Do they dare to fire me?"

"Unless you are old and confused... But if you go against the school, how can you win awards in the future? Even though the judges are diverse, the ones who make the final decision are all from the academy, and there are too many from the associations, including the Beijing Film Academy."

Almost all members of the domestic directors association are from Beijing Film Academy, even Guo Fan.

It is known as the "Beijing Film Academy Directors' Gala".

"People without any concerns are the scariest! I will make them regret it."

……

Wang Changtian nodded secretly. With Li Mingyang's determination and resolve, there was no need to worry about not achieving great things.

Only such talents are worthy of his desperate gamble!
"Without Liu Yifei, how confident are you?"

Li Mingyang raised his hand and slapped it.

"Fifty percent?"

"If there are no accidents, it's 50-50. If they trip us up, it's 40-60."

"Where's Liu Yifei?"

"Eighty percent!"

Wang Changtian had a headache.

The bouquet footage was taken by Li Mingyang, and the Running Man footage was also taken by Li Mingyang.

And Running Man will be directed by Li Mingyang next.

No one knows the situation better than Li Mingyang.

"Or I'll go and talk to you again." Wang Changtian said tiredly.

"What the hell! She's not interested in variety shows at all. Her mother is also a snob, waiting for a good price! A forced melon is not sweet, change someone!"

"Who to change? Swallow?"

Li Mingyang rolled his eyes immediately.

When it comes to the listing, Jack Ma will definitely take action.

Yan Zi is Jack Ma's person, how could she possibly help? It would be almost a hindrance.

Among the four Dans and two Bings, only Zhang Ziyi and Zhou Xun have little conflict with him.

Zhou Xun... has no sense of variety shows, can't have fun, and likes to give orders. Forget it.

Zhang Ziyi...even though she escaped back, she is still an international movie star, her mentor is Zhang Yimou, and the Beijing entertainment circle can't handle her.

Moreover, he is a rare pure movie star who doesn't even shoot TV series, but only variety shows... The possibility of him coming is extremely small, and even if he does, the price will be sky-high.

……

From the very beginning, he never thought of Liu Yifei participating in Running Man.

There are better.

No, and I don’t force it.

If you don't plan for the long term, you will have immediate worries.

When Li Mingyang left Hengdian, he went to a party with Huo Jianhua and others. At that time, Lao Yu praised him to death, telling everyone he met that he had made more than 20 million from Baidu, and he negotiated a project with a table of people.

He didn't make it public at the time because he was worried about being exposed in advance.

Running Man, the production company is currently divided into three companies, Guangguang, Youku and Huahua.

Wang Changtian's plan failed.

Li Mingyang discussed his plan with Wang Changtian.

Introducing the fourth investor, Bouquet 2.0.

Bouquet 2.0 is the company he co-founded with Huo Jianhua, Hu Ge, Yuan Hong, Peng Yuyan, Ruby Lin, Yang Mi, Liu Shishi and others.

Running Man has a pre-investment of 4000 million.

Bouquet 2.0 accounts for 5%, or 200 million.

Use copyright and film remuneration to attract people to join.

Nothing is more precious than copyright.

Especially the copyright of the national variety show "Running Man",

Although Running Man has not yet started airing, the response has been very good and Mango TV has already received more than 20 million in advertising fees.

And this is just the beginning. The subsequent advertising spots will still depend on the results of the broadcast. Once the expectations are met, it is possible to recover the costs just by broadcasting on TV.

Wang Changtian disagreed with Li Mingyang's suggestion. He would rather pay the film remuneration than give up the copyright.

Even 5% is not acceptable.

Lao Gu also disagreed.

The two of them were planning to eat alone, they could give up everything else except the Running Man.

Li Mingyang also wanted to, but he studied it carefully and realized that he could ignore any capital, but if he couldn't hold on to the stars, the second season would be a mystery.

Although today’s stars have not yet realized how destructive Korean variety shows are to an actor’s mystery.

But the contracts for variety shows are signed on a scheduled and seasonal basis.

Who would sign you for several seasons at once...

"This is a long-term deal. You don't just want to do it for one season!" Li Mingyang said to Lao Gu and the unhappy Wang Changtian on the other end of the video.

When they heard this, they both fell silent.

"Even if it's a long-term deal, we can't hand over the copyright. What if we need to change owners in the future? It can't always be them!" said Wang Changtian.

"Yes!" Lao Gu responded.

“Work for a season and start a business!”

Wang Changtian was stunned and said speechlessly: "You might as well pay me for the film, it's too offensive!"

"Who said I kicked him out? It was Lao Gu who kicked him out! We are both in the entertainment industry, and he is in the capital industry. Isn't it normal for people in the capital industry to kick people out?" Li Mingyang said seriously.

Lao Gu was silenced and just kept smoking his cigar, agreeing.

Wang Changtian slapped his thigh and said, "That's no problem!"

……

Liu Yifei ran away and all the artists of Yinghuang were kicked out, so it was naturally impossible to start filming.

Wang Changtian is in charge of the artists.

Lao Gu is responsible for financing.

Li Mingyang focused on the set, script and script.

The set was mainly concentrated in the Pinnacle Building and the three outfields.

The script and the script are at the Guangguang headquarters. In order to maintain confidentiality, these people all live in Guangguang. Everyone has signed a confidentiality agreement and can only leave after the recording of Running Man is completed.

On September 9, Guangguang Media, Youku and Huashu Entertainment held a grand press conference at a hotel less than one kilometer away from the crew of "Detective Dee: The Mystery of the Phantom Flame".

More than 100 television and network media from across the country attended the event, the four major portals gathered, and even the Sixth Princess sent reporters.

At the press conference, Youku's Vice President Qiao, Light Media's head Wang Changtian, and Huashu Entertainment's boss, the 20-year-old genius director Li Mingyang, sat on the stage, facing a crowd of media, chatting and laughing, and announced a series of sensational news.

First, Guangxian and Youku exchanged shares, entered into strategic cooperation and formed a united front.

This piece of news alone would normally make the headlines in the entertainment section.

Today, however, it’s just an appetizer.

Before the reporters had time to get excited, Youku's Vice President Qiao implied in front of a group of reporters that Baidu had no ability to judge people, was ungrateful and unscrupulous, and then announced an investment of 200 million yuan in Huahua Entertainment to create the variety show "Run, Brothers", the TV series "Spy Playing House", and the web series "Pure Love Men".

There was an uproar at the scene because Huayi held a press conference in early September.

It was mentioned that Li Mingyang left the Running Man crew because he asked the investors to invest 1.4 million yuan to shoot a TV series, otherwise he would quit Running Man. The investors thought it was too risky and did not agree. After friendly negotiations, the two sides parted ways amicably without any unpleasantness.

He also joked that Li Mingyang earned more than 20 million yuan for filming Running Man, but he himself couldn't make that much money in a year.

All the media couldn't wait to ask questions, and Li Mingyang was very cooperative, asking host Xie Nan for the microphone, "I know everyone must be very curious, whether Running Man infringes on Running Man, if only one word is the same, it is infringement, that would be too funny. I only shot half of Running Man, I don't know what it will actually look like, so it shouldn't be considered as my shot."

"And Running Man is my work. The two are different works."

"Is there any connection between Pure Love Men and Diaosi Men? Although they are the same actors, the core is quite different. Please stay tuned."

"Finally, the spy game, there is one thing that Huayi's Wang said that was not wrong. I did leave the Running Man crew because of this TV series. However, he has been slandering me and defaming me, saying that I made 20 million yuan by filming Running Man. I have sent him a lawyer's letter. If he doesn't apologize publicly, we'll see you in court."

Everyone in the room was shocked, not only the reporters, but even Vice President Qiao and Wang Changtian were in disbelief because this was not agreed upon in advance.

Before everyone could recover from the shock.

Li Mingyang dropped another bombshell.

"Spy Play is a TV series, produced by Mr. Yuan Baye, martial arts director Zhen Zhidan, directed by me, starring me, and the female lead Liu Shishi. I don't really understand why Huayi rejected this project outright. I am a person who gets stuck in a rut, so I spent 1200 million to buy back the shares held by Tangren and Huace, and plan to continue filming. The investment will not be less than 1.4 million."

The whole house was in an uproar!
