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

Chapter 191 Capital Resists Capital

At noon the next day, under the introduction of Cai Chongxin, Li Mingyang met many Hong Kong film and television bosses in the club.

Both unexpected and not unexpected.

I actually met Li Lianjie.

It is almost an open secret that Jack Ma and Jet Li have a good relationship.

The two had known each other as early as 08.

In order to benefit both parties, Jet Li and Jack Ma signed a long-term cooperation plan between One Foundation and Taobao.com, and Jet Li also invited Jack Ma to become a director of One Foundation.

One is an Internet tycoon, the other is a Kung Fu Emperor.

The cooperation between the two sides is quite close, but it has not been put on the table yet.

Li Mingyang doesn't like Li Lianjie very much, but he also respects Li Lianjie.

After all, he is the Chinese entertainment action superstar and the Kung Fu Emperor.

I don’t know if it’s because of Donnie Yen or for some other reason.

Jet Li seemed a little hostile to him. He was chatting happily with other people, but was very cold to him.

However, other bigwigs in the Hong Kong circle, such as Wong Pak-ming, Boss Yang, and the Xiang couple, were very enthusiastic towards him.

Li Mingyang is quite familiar with this kind of occasion.

Even though he was very unhappy about Boss Yang and Huayi's setup, he still laughed and drank.

Old Yang is very humble...

A tycoon with a net worth of over 10 billion is even more humble than Wang Dajun.

There is no other way. If the Hong Kong circle wants to make a living in the domestic entertainment industry and still act like the best in the world like before, then they are simply courting death.

Hong Kong films are imported films. With just one word from Zuo Shandiao, the Hong Kong circle will have no food to eat.

The reason why Guangguang can suppress the Hong Kong circle is that domestic film and television companies have been cheated by the Hong Kong circle time and time again, but only Guangguang can cheat the Hong Kong circle back.

Zuoshandiao was very happy, because from then on, Guangguang had the bargaining chip to suppress the Hong Kong circle.

The bigger the boss in the entertainment industry, the more amiable he is, at least on the surface.

People who appear to be friendly on the surface may be more dangerous.

People who appear to be honest and loyal may stab you in the back more cruelly.

Evening, Alibaba headquarters.

Li Mingyang took the gift bag handed over by the Alibaba staff.

Very light...

When I opened it, I saw two small tea cans.

"This is a tea of ​​Shifeng Longjing that a friend gave me a while ago. It tastes good. If you are not used to it, you can give it as a gift. It will be presentable to anyone you give it to," said Tsai Chongxin.

"Thank you, Mr. Cai."

Li Mingyang shook hands with Cai Chongxin and said goodbye, then got into the car.

Wu Zhikui started the car, drove into the traffic and headed towards Hengdian.

In the end, Li Mingyang listened to the advice and did not ask Ali for a loan.

Even though Tsai Chongxin hinted that Alibaba was willing to support him financially, he only borrowed one million symbolically.

Pay off the mortgage.

"Director Li, why don't you lend a little more? Alibaba is quite rich, and tens of millions is nothing to them," said Wu Zhikui.

"Ali is capital. You borrow their money, and what they want you to pay back is your life."

"That's an exaggeration... According to what you taught us before, the more you owe, the closer the relationship will be, right?"

Yes! The more you owe, the closer the relationship.

But Li Mingyang doesn't want to get too close to Alibaba.

It is easy for other Internet companies to enter the entertainment industry, either to get a piece of the pie, to create pan-entertainment, or to open up new markets.

And Ali...

Or maybe even Alibaba people themselves don’t know Jack Ma’s real purpose.

He wants to create stars!

Using the entertainment industry as a springboard, he established himself as a domestic superstar and idol!
And he did it!
Many of Alibaba's projects have developed rapidly due to his huge celebrity effect.

Many people will believe without hesitation as long as they see Alibaba’s projects.

After all, he did change the way of life in the country.

Then it floated away.

Jack Ma is not interested in money...really, really not interested.

So he said that, I am busier than President Z, but I don’t have the power of President Z.

At its peak, Alibaba was the most powerful company in China.

When Jack Ma was at his peak, he always talked about the future, and it was the future he was shaping.

"Old Wu! Capital is a thing that you can only get a lot if you obey it, but you can get even more if you resist it."

Li Mingyang opened the car window and looked at the brightly lit CBD. "And I have the capital to resist capital!"

……

Hua Zai said something that Li Mingyang liked very much.

That is, making a good movie is not a matter of time, but a matter of preparation.

An excellent movie is never the work of one person, but a team effort, and everyone is important.

Even the people who serve tea and water in the crew are very important.

The Academy Award was once given to an ordinary, illiterate aunt who was responsible for serving tea and water on the set.

Professionalism Award was presented.

The seventh floor of Mingyang Entertainment.

Li Mingyang stood in the corner, his eyes wandering over every member of the Far Cry crew. He was feeling the disharmony in the crew.

After returning to the carefully prepared shooting site in Hengdian, the crew's progress suddenly accelerated a lot.

But compared to the behind-the-scenes of espionage, it's far from it.

The people brought by Wilson Yip really know what you want to do with just one look. You only need to say it briefly and they will give you the most professional feedback behind the scenes.

But the newcomers in the crew are too inexperienced.

Youth represents unlimited possibilities, but also represents a lack of experience.

There is no good way, just keep debugging.

Put everyone in the most appropriate position.

This tests the director's control ability and vision.

Dapeng started his career late, and had contact with very few film crews, so he didn't have the ability to judge people.

You let him do the work, he can do it well,
But it is impossible to put people in the right position.

New directors all have their own shortcomings.

Wu Zhikui's biggest problem is that he takes himself too seriously.

Dapeng's biggest problem is that he doesn't take himself seriously and is so servile... It's so disgusting!
These two problems will disappear as you work on more crews, they are minor issues.

What is the scariest new director like?
That is the behind-the-scenes superstition of winning awards when there is money and connections.

For example, Yu Feihong.

In 2007, the filming of "Love Has Next Life", which had only a few actors, cost 4000 million yuan. Where did the money go?
There are only a few people in the whole movie. Fairy Jinghong doesn't cost any money, and Duan Yihong is not yet the best actor, so he only costs money out of friendship.

The money goes to the team behind the scenes.

Director of photography of "Infernal Affairs" Lai Yiu-fai, lighting designer of "Raise the Red Lantern" Zhao Fei, costume designer of "The Assassination of Qin" Mok Xiaomin, sound engineer of "Assembly" Wang Danrong, editor of "The Besieged City" Zhao An'er...

Then he burst into tears and his eyes were swollen.

Later, I consoled myself by thinking that it was an art film and it was normal that the box office was low.

It wasn't until Li Mingyang spent two million to film a love story that was like a bouquet of flowers that this lady broke down again and cried even harder. The story spread all over the Beijing circle...

From a certain perspective, Yu Feihong did not spend her money in vain.

Her mistake was that she was the director.

Li Mingyang can use her behind-the-scenes to make "Wushuang".

Her limit is just to film "Love Has Afterlife".

Except there really are ghosts, which is shocking.

As for the rest... Li Mingyang can take them with a 5D series SLR camera.

【17:52:23】

“Why are these people mentioning your name in front of me…” Li Mingyang shook his head unsatisfied, handed the supervisory work to Wu Zhikui, left the seventh floor, and took the elevator to the ninth floor.

After exiting the elevator, Li Mingyang glanced at the office area. There were few people at the workstations.

It’s not that there are no employees, but that these employees are busy filming their own works downstairs.

After the recording of Running Man was completed, Li Mingyang signed a contract with Youku to make his own micro-film and get paid based on the number of clicks.

Those with poor click-through rates can only earn a few dozen yuan, while those with good click-through rates can earn more than ten thousand yuan.

The company and the producer split the profits 50-50.

Just relying on sales, the monthly revenue is more than 200,000 yuan, which can barely cover the expenses of water, electricity and employee meals, but cannot pay the employee salaries.

Mingyang Entertainment now has two main sources of income: self-made micro-films and Weibo marketing.

Zhong Xiaoyu is mainly in charge of Weibo marketing. Due to the busy work of maintaining the account and studying, the income is average.

The self-made micro-film is in a loss-making state and is entirely supported by Huabao Entertainment.

The largest source of income for Huahua Entertainment comes from artist management, including Tan Songyun and Zhang Xiaofei.

Zhang Xiaofei is a mess, just ignore her.

In other words, Mingyang Entertainment was supported by Tan Songyun alone.

Only Li Mingyang knew about this matter, not even Tan Songyun himself.

Last time, in order to produce Running Man, Li Mingyang recruited a lot of people, including photographers, screenwriters, finance, and legal affairs.

These people mainly come from Beijing Film Academy, Central Academy of Drama, Communication University of China, and other universities, and they are all young people.

The persons in charge of finance and legal affairs are both veterans with more than ten years of experience, so there is no problem.

In terms of content production, Li Mingyang prefers newcomers and can only try it at a loss.

As long as there is a talented director or screenwriter among them, it will be a huge profit.

If an actor can be produced, it will be a huge profit.

Of course, the chances of this happening are slim.
