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

Chapter 150 Why not us?
An hour later, everyone arrived at the China World Trade Center and the guests entered the box. After Li Mingyang and everyone else went in and took their seats, he took a black suitcase from Wu Zhikui and the other two.

"You guys stay outside and watch. No one can go in until I open the door." Li Mingyang gave the instructions, then dragged his suitcase into the room and closed the door.

He put the suitcase next to the dining table and opened it, revealing neatly packed, thick, document bags with names on them.

"Thank you all for your hard work on the recent filming. Brother Dan, this is yours." Li Mingyang placed three file bags on the glass turntable and turned it in front of Zhen Zhidan.

Zhen Zhidan took down the briefcase with a smile, took out handfuls of money from it and put them into his backpack.

Obviously came prepared.

When the nine girls saw this scene, they were a little excited because they had money to earn.

Jessica curiously asked the agent how much it was.

The agent said there was 100,000 won in one envelope and 300,000 won in three, which is 50 million won.

Korean girl bands are probably the most miserable artists in the world.

The most famous one is the 9:1 blood-sucking contract, where the company gets 90% and the artist gets 10%.

It’s similar for domestic idol groups, all of which debut with blood-sucking contracts.

The most miserable thing about Korean girl groups is that they are burdened with debts before debuting.

When you are a trainee, you have to pay for plastic surgery, makeup, food, clothing, housing, transportation, singing and dancing training... these are all mandatory expenses.

After several rounds of competition, I stood out from hundreds or thousands of people and finally got a chance to debut.

Not many people can become famous. If you can’t make money, what should you do about the debt? Those with money at home will lose money, while those without money at home will have to sell themselves as drinking companions.

The popular girl group spent almost the first five years paying off debts and working for nothing.

Looks glamorous, but actually very poor...

SM, the company Girls' Generation belongs to, is the worst in Korean entertainment when it comes to exploiting and squeezing artists.

Not only are they poor, but they are also forced to attend various drinking parties, run various announcements, and sing and smile for money.

996?

Working all year round, being able to sleep for a few hours in the car is already a blessing.

Girls' Generation watched Li Mingyang constantly taking money out of the box and distributing money to everyone, and they all shook hands excitedly.

As for the gifts, the company turned a blind eye, which means that the money all belonged to them.

The male stars have finally been sent out, and there are still many file bags in the box.

Start posting photos of female stars.

Yang Mi stood up happily and took her bonus, 100,000 yuan.

"Thank you, Director Li."

Li Mingyang smiled and closed the box.

Girls’ Generation were all stunned. What about ours?

Before the nine beautiful girls could protest, Jing Tian at the side spoke first, "It's mine, why don't you give it to me!"

Zhen Zhidan and the others were all happy to know Jing Tian's background. Li Mingyang opened the box with a wry smile and gave Jing Tian a file bag.

Jing Tian snorted and tried to embezzle my money again.

Now, among the guests at the table, only the nine girls from Girls' Generation did not receive any prize money.

They looked at each other, and finally looked at the agent, asking the agent who could speak Chinese to withdraw the money.

The agent was too lazy to ask for anything, but the boss took advantage of the situation and asked for a huge sum of 8 million. Both parties were unhappy, so how could he give you the money...

After paying the money.

"Brother Zu, I want to talk to you about something." Li Mingyang gestured to the leisure area behind the screen.

The leisure area is very large, with not only mahjong tables but also audio equipment for singing.

A'zu glanced at Zhen Zhidan.

Zhen Zhidan smiled.

A-Zu also laughed and went to the leisure area with Li Mingyang.

The two stood on either side of the mahjong table in the corner and talked for a while.

A-Zu didn't mind playing the guest role of a loser and agreed readily without mentioning the money.

But when it comes to playing spy house, no matter how much money is offered, even if it is tens of millions, they are not willing to do it.

"Brother Zu, the team behind Spy Game is very strong. I am the director, Director Ip of Ip Man is the producer, Brother Dan is the martial arts instructor, and Brother Zou will also be in the show. The lineup is very strong, not inferior to the movie."

"I have no experience in filming TV series..." Daniel Wu waved his hand to refuse.

Actors have always attached great importance to their status, especially first-line male stars who can carry the box office.

I can't even make enough movies...

A Zu was very determined and couldn't handle it. Li Mingyang felt a little regretful, but he didn't care too much.

Instead, he talked about playing spy house with Won Bin and his agent.

Spy House has attracted much attention since the project was launched.

The director is Li Mingyang, the producer is Yuan Baye, the martial arts instructor is Zhen Zhidan, and the female lead is the rising star Liu Shishi.

This lineup can cause a sensation even if they make a movie, let alone a TV series.

Later, because of the spy game, Li Mingyang and Baidu fell out, and the fight was very ugly for both sides.

Li Mingyang was heavily criticized and slandered, but the spy game became widely circulated and everyone in the domestic entertainment industry knew about it.

Even people in Hong Kong and Taiwan know about this project.

Li Mingyang wanted to invite Yuan Bin to participate in the performance and specially prepared a script.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Bin also knew about this project and was very interested in it.

But he had no schedule for the next year, so he had to give up.

Later, Li Mingyang mentioned that Diaosi Man would have a one-minute cameo, and the agent and Yuan Bin chatted for a long time. The agent asked if Zhen Zhidan would have a cameo?

After receiving Li Mingyang's affirmative answer, Yuan Bin readily agreed.

The easiest one to deal with is Peng Yuyan, buy one get one free, spies playing house with villains for 500,000, and losers helping for free.

After finishing the discussion, Li Mingyang opened the door and asked Wu Zhikui to call the waiter to serve the food.

Girls’ Generation is confused again!
Why not us?
Girls' Generation started chattering, and Li Mingyang didn't understand a word they said, but he knew they must be dissatisfied.

We are all new here, but we have been ignored twice in a row. Who can stand this?

Li Mingyang did it on purpose.

Although he doesn't know much about Korean entertainment.

But I still know that in the Korean entertainment industry, the managers make the decisions for girl groups, and the members of girl groups have no say.

Unlike in the mainland, even small-time celebrities have autonomy, and if their agents don’t stand on their side, they will be kicked out.

In the Korean entertainment industry, no matter how popular a girl group is, they have to listen to their agents.

Artists must perform according to their character settings, otherwise they will be fined!
Eat as much as you want at each meal. If you eat too much, you will be warned once and fined twice.

How to dress, where to expose, what kind of dance to perform...how much compensation you have to pay for drinking with your partner tonight, all kinds of rules and regulations, and you can be fined at any time.

Resist? There is no such thing... When I debuted, I was bullied and photographed.

Job hopping? SM Entertainment is actually considered good... they are a serious commercial girl group.

I won't beat up a group of people...

Some Korean companies act as brokers and specialize in public relations under the name of girl groups.

The members of some companies' girl groups are either rich or powerful, they are the illegitimate daughters of big shots, or the illegitimate daughters of chaebols... but they still cannot escape the clutches of the devil.

The suicide rate is high…for a reason.

After three rounds of drinking, the lights were shining.

Xu Xian and her agent came to see Li Mingyang to have a talk.

Li Mingyang pretended to think about it again and again, then stood up and took the two girls to the leisure area.

"Director Li, all the guests have bonuses, why don't we have any?" the agent asked.

"You have taken so much money from me, why should you give it to me?" said Li Mingyang.

The manager nodded and said to Seohyun in Korean, "He doesn't want to give it."

Xu Xian's eyes widened. He said so many things, and you only said four words to me? If you lied to me, you should say more!

"Fuck, what did you say? Do you think I don't understand Korean and are trying to fool me?" Li Mingyang stood up and called Ma Dongxi's agent in to act as an interpreter.

……

Xu Xian also knows some Chinese, or maybe Koreans all know a little Chinese. Xu Xian can understand simple Chinese, such as hello, goodbye, delicious, thank you...

But if it’s a little more complicated, I can’t understand it.

After Ma Dongxi's agent translated, Xu Xian understood that they were abroad for a week and the company received 8 million yuan, which is almost 1.5 billion won... Who would be happy to be robbed...

The youngest member, Xu Xian, was unhappy and blamed her agent.

Then after a while, they started arguing.

Li Mingyang went out to get a glass of wine, sat back on the sofa, and listened to the two women quarreling.

Ma Dong-seok's agent was very smart and translated beside him in a sarcastic voice.

After arguing for five or six minutes, Xu Xian pushed her agent and asked him to fight for the bonus for them.

It would be easier to negotiate with Girls' Generation's manager if they compromised, but it's not that easy.

The other party first asked Li Mingyang if he had any new projects. The two parties cooperated very happily and should cooperate more.

Li Mingyang mentioned the two projects, Diaosi Man and Spy Playing House.

Girls' Generation's manager also knew about the Spy project, and offered a starting price of 10 million for the nine supporting roles.

Li Mingyang just wanted to say one word: idiot.

Girls' Generation is not worth this price. They can hire Jun Ji-hyun for this price.

In terms of popularity and influence, Jun Ji-hyun is a top star in Asia.

Even at her peak, Yoona couldn’t touch her taillights.

"Forget about spies... Let's talk about short plays. Aren't you guys on a flight the day after tomorrow? We still have a whole day tomorrow. I'll buy your entire day's time. Just name your price."

When Girls' Generation's manager came, he got to know the young man in front of him, Li Mingyang, very well.

The director of this year's mainland box office dark horse "A Bouquet of Love" is a talented director in the film industry at the age of only 20... His youth is shocking.

What is even more shocking is that he was able to become a film director despite the pressure from Huayi and China Film Corporation, and he broke through the numerous shackles in the mainland.

She had heard about how treacherous the mainland film industry was. It was even more treacherous than the Hong Kong industry and even more shady than the Korean entertainment industry... It was banned at every turn. From the preparation to the release of a movie, there were so many hurdles that even a dog would shake its head...

Before leaving, President Li specifically told us not to believe Li Mingyang's lies and that everything must be done according to the company's contract.

But how do you calculate a day?
You can't just say 8 million, because then you probably won't even have enough food to eat and will be driven away...

"How much are you prepared to pay?"

"I still have 100,000 in my box."

Do you think I'm blind? There's at least two million in there!
"Haha, I'm afraid that won't work. Girls' Generation's appearance fee isn't that low."

"Then name a price so I can bargain!"

"Will Won Bin take the photo? How much does he charge?"

"Go ahead, no money required."
