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

Chapter 20 Insecure Yang Mi
Finished watching one episode.

"This is skirting the law...will it pass the review?" Yang Mi frowned.

"For online dramas, the website just needs to review it. Youku has already set a date for it to go online next Monday."

"So fast……"

"A web drama worth 500,000 yuan." Li Mingyang said with a smile, "Of course, the sooner it goes online, the better."

"Five hundred thousand for ten episodes?" Yang Mi asked suspiciously.

"Ah."

Yang Mi took a deep breath. Although each episode of Diaosi Nanzi was very short, only ten minutes, the script was very interesting, the actors were not bad either, and the quality of the film was not inferior to the TV series, and even better.

Fifty thousand an episode?
It’s too cheap!
“Do you think it’s cheap?”

Yang Mi nodded heavily. Liu Shishi was stunned. Seeing Yang Mi nod, she nodded too.

Li Mingyang coughed lightly. "In the domestic TV drama market, TV stations are the largest buyers and the most effective promotional channel for advertisers. TV stations make a lot of money from advertising fees, so they are willing to spend a lot of money to buy dramas. Therefore, film and television companies invest a lot in TV dramas. It is not uncommon to see TV dramas with investments of tens of millions."

"Video websites are currently in their infancy. Since they relied on piracy to attract traffic in the early stages, advertisers are very cautious about investing in video websites. As a result, video websites are generally in a loss-making state. 500,000 yuan is already a large investment for an online drama."

Yang Mi frowned slightly and became secretly alert. Last time, Li Mingyang showed off his knowledge in the same way and then started to cheat people out of money.

"If you don't make money, why do you still want to make movies... You are so handsome, why don't you be an actor?" Liu Shishi stared at Li Mingyang, and the more she looked at him, the more handsome he seemed.

Li Mingyang didn't dare to look at Liu Shishi anymore. He lowered his head and fiddled with his teacup, saying, "Not making money now doesn't mean it won't make money in the future. As the number of netizens increases, watching dramas online will become a trend. As piracy is cleaned up, video websites will attract more and more advertisers to invest, and the revenue of online dramas will also rise."

"Oh, you are going to stick with the online drama!" Yang Mi said.

"Of course, domestic video websites are just getting started, while foreign video websites have already taken off. Now, all of these domestic video websites want to be like Netflix. In the past, the copyright of a popular drama was only a few thousand yuan, but it has been hyped up to hundreds of thousands in just two years. Capital is the most sensitive. If there is no money to be made, who would be stupid enough to invest money!"

Liu Shishi didn't understand and looked at Yang Mi.

"What do you want to do? Become Netflix? Start a video website?"

"Ahem... I'm here to make money, not to burn it. Besides, it's too late now. My idea is to make money by filming dramas for video websites."

"Oh." Yang Mi stared at Li Mingyang with a half-smile, "Go on."

"I opened a web drama production company, using low costs to create high profits. Senior Yang Mi, please don't look at me with such hostile eyes, I'm really not a money-sucking person! I'm a talented director who knows how to save money. Guess, the cost of "Diaosi Man" was 500,000 yuan, how much did I make in the end?"

"One hundred and fifty thousand?"

Li Mingyang shook his head.

"It can't be two hundred thousand, right?"

"Of course not, I made three hundred thousand!"

The cost was 500,000 yuan, and the profit was 300,000 yuan! A profit of 60%!

"Is this true?!" Yang Mi widened her eyes and said in shock.

"Of course it's true. Are you in touch with Xiao Fei? I see she chats with you often. Besides being a director, I'm also very good at saving money." Li Mingyang turned around and looked at Liu Shishi sincerely, "You don't want to work for the rest of your life, do you?"

……

Behind every well-known domestic film and television company there is a big director shareholder.

Feng pants from Huayi.

Li Guoli of Sugar Man.

Li Shaohong of Rongxinda.

Zheng Xiaolong of Huaer Films.

Jiang Wei of Qingyu Media.

As for the future Noon Sunshine, its major shareholder is none other than the director Kong Sheng of Crossing the Guandong.

The major shareholders of Huanxi Media are Ning Hao and Xu Zheng.

The director-centered system in the domestic film and television industry has created many big capital directors.

Especially after Internet capital entered the entertainment industry, the status of big directors has become even higher.

Liu Shishi had a very shallow understanding of the entertainment industry, and she was confused by what Li Mingyang said, but under the influence of her peach blossom eyes, she was willing to believe Li Mingyang and wanted to start a company with him. Yang Mi rolled her eyes at that time.

85 Flowers refers to a group of popular young actresses born around 1985, mainly starring in TV dramas.

In a narrow sense, it only includes Yang Mi, Liu Shishi, Tang Yan, and Zhao Liying. However, as the concept of 85 flowers is increasingly accepted, baby, Tianxian, Song Qian and others are also gradually included in the 85 flowers. These female stars are all popular young flowers, their careers are developing well, they have achieved certain achievements in the entertainment industry, and have become very powerful among the same group of actresses, so they are collectively called 85 flowers.

Among the 85 flowers, Yang Mi is the most successful and also the smartest.

She thinks more and has more concerns.

Li Mingyang didn't expect to convince her at all.

But... Liu Shishi’s salary was actually kept by her mother.

She didn't have much money at her disposal... just 10,000 yuan in pocket money every month.

Liu Shishi had no money, but wanted to support Li Mingyang, so she asked Yang Mi to borrow money.

"I can only lend you 100,000 yuan." Yang Mi said.

"Is one hundred thousand okay?" Liu Shishi asked Li Mingyang.

"It counts as your 10% stake."

Yang Mi was stunned for a moment, then she said happily: "One hundred thousand is 10%! I'll pay three hundred thousand! It's a 30% stake."

Li Mingyang refused in his heart because he never thought that Yang Mi would invest.

He had already decided on the heroine of "A Bouquet of Love".

Li Mingyang was very worried that Yang Mi would turn against him.

After all, the heroine was the person she hated the most.

But in action, he still accepted Yang Mi's money.

It’s not easy to make money these days!
After the capital share ratio was agreed upon, the three began to discuss the company's address, company name, and future plans.

Liu Shishi was in a daze the whole time, staring at Li Mingyang and couldn't get enough of it.

The only ones responsible for the discussion were Li Mingyang and Yang Mi.

No matter how successful Yang Mi is in the future and how smart she is, she is only 22 years old. Her mindset is still stuck in Rong Xinda and Tangren's "self-made content + artist management".

This set is too outdated even now.

He wants to get the producer's bonus, and he also wants the agent's bonus. He tries to get his share from both sides, but he can't get enough from either.

The production company and the actors themselves are in opposition…

Li Mingyang talked about online dramas, but in fact he only cared about movies.

If his love affair with a bouquet of flowers succeeds, he will go into the film industry.

Anyone can make a web drama if they want, it won’t cause any big waves anyway.

The influence of movies is at its peak!

So after trying to shirk his responsibilities in response to Yang Mi's suggestions and failing, he finally agreed.

After discussing for more than an hour, based on the principle of saving money, the company's location was decided to be in Hengdian, and Yang Mi will personally choose the office location tomorrow.

The company's name is Mingyang Entertainment.

Judging from the name, this company has nothing to do with Liu Shishi and Yang Mi.

Yang Mi just wanted to make money and didn't want to have any deep connection with Li Mingyang. After all, Li Mingyang had offended Huayi.

Li Mingyang is the major shareholder, holding 60% of the shares, Yang Mi invested 30 yuan, holding 10% of the shares, and Liu Shishi invested yuan, holding % of the shares.

The details of the cooperation have been roughly finalized.

Yang Mi couldn't wait to sign the contract, so she urged Li Mingyang to pay the bill, and then went to his residence to draft the contract, sign the contract, and settle the matter as soon as possible.

At this time, Yang Mi no longer felt unsafe...
