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

Chapter 301 Drama Overlord Jiang Wen
"It's really interesting that primary school students actually sang your song The Lone Hero." Wang Changtian came to Li Mingyang and said.

"It's quite magical and the singing is quite interesting." Li Mingyang said with a smile.

"Detective Dee's first-day box office is out, 2100 million."

"sharp."

"This first-day box office is second only to the Great Earthquake..."

"And this is the result of a Wednesday release. Xu is really amazing."

"This time, there isn't that much water in the main theme. I feel that if Di Renjie is subsidized by ticket sales, it will be able to exceed 600 million."

Li Mingyang nodded, Di Renjie did have this potential.

After all, the annual box office of domestic films ranked fourth, only behind Let the Bullets Fly, Earthquake, and If You Are the One 2.

The box office almost broke 300 million.

If there were ticket subsidies, Detective Dee might really have a chance to break 600 million.

There are many new movies released in September, including Zhang Yimou's The Hawthorn Tree, John Woo's Reign of Assassins, Zhen Zhidan's Fist of Fury, and Xu Ke's Detective Dee.

Li Mingyang has watched all four movies. Each has its own merits and demerits.

Then I was lucky enough not to come across Nolan's "Inception".

Inception was originally scheduled to be released on September 9st.

Because China Film Corporation did not provide ticket subsidies, the film was withdrawn from the schedule.

Now Warner and China Film are just wasting time like this.

Li Mingyang estimates that Inception will be released in October.

If it's not released soon, movie fans will have had enough of watching high-definition pirated copies.

This year, there are many Hollywood blockbusters, including the first Avatar in film history.

Then there was Iron Man 2, creating the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Then came Inception, which took the world by storm.

Even if you watch these three movies more than a decade later, they are still top Hollywood commercial blockbusters.

In fact, domestic films are not bad.

In terms of influence, the golden age of Hong Kong films is in no way inferior to that of Hollywood.

In terms of action movies, it even surpasses Hollywood and is popular all over the world.

As time goes by, Hong Kong films have become deserted.

Hollywood blockbusters use dazzling special effects to bombard the world and reap global box office revenue.

It is very difficult to cultivate filmmakers who can compete at the box office. The golden age of Hong Kong films brought together the best filmmakers in the country and created that heyday.

However, people will eventually grow old, and if they cannot adapt to the trend, they will only be eliminated by the times.

The Hong Kong industry relies on people.

Hollywood relies on the film industrialization system.

Although many bad movies are produced every year, there are always a small number of high-quality masterpieces that reap box office success around the world.

Manpower is sometimes exhausted.

The industrialized system can be passed on from generation to generation.

Domestic films need talents, and even more so, they need film industrialization.

China Film Group has been promoting the industrialization of the film industry.

Promoting the film market is only a means to attract capital, not an end.

The real purpose of China Film Corporation is to use capital to promote the industrialization of the film industry.

However, the domestic film industry will not truly reach the level of Hollywood until the release of Little Break Ball.

The Wandering Earth is not just a director’s issue, but a problem for the entire film industry.

The reason why Little Broken Ball scares Hollywood is not only because its quality has reached the standards of Hollywood blockbusters.

Also because the success of Little Big Balls is the success of the film industrialization.

The industrialization of film is the ability to continuously produce blockbuster films.

"Continuous" refers to the production capacity of films, and "explosive" refers to the quality of films.

These are what only the film industry can provide.

As someone who has experienced this, Li Mingyang feels that Hollywood is worrying too early...it is worrying without reason.

The little broken ball is special, the only one...

The Investiture of the Gods trilogy is pure nonsense, just a half-finished product.

Li Mingyang has been thinking about how to build his own film industry.

The Boonie Bears model is worth learning from, but it is not enough.

The production of bears is too low.

Stable output, steady and explosive. If we follow the path of theater movies, it will take too long.

It is a very long process for a cinema movie to go from planning to release and then to market feedback.

Moreover, he vaguely felt that if One Punch Man went directly into theaters, it would be difficult to meet expectations.

Domestic films are entering a period of rapid development, and there are still many high-quality works.

For example, Lost on Journey and Let the Bullets Fly, which were released this year.

If a movie fails at the box office, it will have a huge impact on the director and actors. Without absolute certainty, Li Mingyang doesn't dare to rush into it.

The success of the spy.

It has opened up a track for online movies.

Li Mingyang took a look at the online movies that have received over 100 million hits in recent months and found that these online movies are all vulgar and erotic movies that skirt the rules.

The current situation of online movies is that they are poorly made and use sex to gain social connections.

If you don’t touch the edge, you will be sorry for the audience. For the current online movie market, a 50 million yuan high-quality online movie is like a dragon-slaying sword that kills chickens, killing a large number of people in one sweep.

Li Mingyang doesn't seek to make money from Internet companies.

Online movies do not require various reviews. You can just shoot and upload them directly and get feedback in a short time.

Cultivating talents and building a film industrialization system that is famous for entertainment is the top priority.

The best person to lead the film industrialization system is naturally Li Mingyang.

But he was too busy and needed someone like Zhang Zhao to help him share the burden and plan.

Wu Zhikui was the most suitable candidate, but he was only thinking about being a director.

So he trained Ye Xiangdong.

Ye Xiangdong's professional ability is not strong, but he and Wu Zhikui went to Xiao Ri Zi to negotiate the copyright of One Punch Man.

He is quick-witted, good at communication, and a student at Beijing Film Academy. He is usually trusted by Wu Zhikui, has good prestige, and can manage people.

Li Mingyang originally planned to let Ye Xiangdong cooperate with Wu Zhikui to operate the online movie of One Punch Man together to gain more experience.

Unexpectedly, Wu Zhikui took all the power and didn't need Ye Xiangdong at all.

This made Ye Xiangdong very embarrassed and turned him into a clown.

The phone rang again. It was Ye Xiangdong.

Li Mingyang muted his phone and didn't want to answer it.

He will be meeting Jiang Wen soon, so he needs to think about it carefully.

At around eleven o'clock in the morning, Li Mingyang and Wang Changtian arrived at a Japanese-style club in the center of Shanghai and met the famous Jiang Wen.

There are also his wife Zhou Yun, his younger brother Jiang Wu, and his good friends Wang Shuo, Xu Dahahua, and Boss Yang.

Li Mingyang and Wang Changtian looked at each other at the same time. Wasn't it agreed beforehand that it would be just the three of them?
"Director Li, you're amazing." Jiang Wen hugged his shoulders enthusiastically and praised him as soon as they met.

Zhou Yun, Jiang Wu, Wang Shuo, Xu Dahua, and Boss Yang all nodded with a smile.

"Director Jiang, you are even more amazing." Li Mingyang replied in the same way.
Suddenly, everyone laughed. Jiang Wen and Yang Tian laughed twice, pushed Li Mingyang's back, and sat down first.

The seats are legless tatami chairs. You either have to sit cross-legged or with your legs stretched out. It's not particularly comfortable either way.

Li Mingyang and Wang Changtian sat on the left side of the low table, while Jiang Wen and others sat on the right side, making it look like a two-party meeting.

Jiang Wen took the initiative to invite this dinner.

They were also talking about movies. Jiang Wen couldn't stop talking when he started talking about Li Mingyang's famous work, Love Like a Bouquet of Flowers.

All the dishes have been served, but we are still talking.

At first the others responded with a few words, but later they all shut up and listened to him alone.

Xu Dahua felt bored listening to this, so she stretched her legs across the low table and landed next to Li Mingyang, within reach.

Li Mingyang took a look at Teacher Xu's feet in stockings, but didn't feel anything and just pretended he didn't see it.

Although Xu Dahua is his teacher, his aesthetic taste is not really his.

The temptation of black stockings is quite boring.

Seeing that Li Mingyang was too lazy to look at her, Xu Dahua rolled her eyes to the sky. If Boss Yang and Wang Changtian hadn't been there, she really wanted to teach her student a lesson.

During the meal, I just listened to Jiang Wen bragging.

After dinner, Jiang Wen drank by himself and got drunk.

Boss Yang asked Jiang Wu and Zhou Yun to take care of Jiang Wen.

He signaled Li Mingyang and Wang Changtian to move to the next room to discuss things.

Next door was a smaller tea room. There was no tea on the coffee table, only three cups and three bottles of sake.

The three of them sat down and Boss Yang ordered three glasses of wine.

One cup was handed to Wang Changtian and the other cup was handed to Li Mingyang.

"Director Li, I heard that your movie has passed the review. When will the premiere be scheduled?" Boss Yang took a sip of sake and said with a smile.

"You have to ask Mr. Wang about this matter." Li Mingyang pushed the ball to Wang Changtian.

Boss Yang smiled even more and looked at Wang Changtian.

"It's quite lively this year. I originally thought there would only be four of us, but I didn't expect Zhao Dashan to schedule the Laughing Rivers and Lakes show in December."

Wang Changtian did not say it directly, but took a detour.

"I really didn't expect that Zhao Dashan would come. Director Chen's Orphan of Zhao is scheduled for December 12th. The Laughing Rivers and Lakes is scheduled for December 4rd. If you don't know, you might think they have a grudge against each other, haha."

"I don't know about that. We can first see how they compete."

"Let the Bullets Fly, I'm planning to schedule it for the 16th. What do you think of this date?"

Wang Changtian frowned slightly. He also wanted to set this date.

"Feng Kuzi's If You Are the One 2 hasn't finished filming yet, right?" Li Mingyang said.

Boss Yang smiled and nodded, thinking to himself, "This Li Mingyang is even more reckless than Jiang Wen. He called Feng Kuzi in front of him... Haha, Feng Kuzi has really met his match this time."

"Let's pick a date first, he can enter at any time... I think Feng Kuzi will be scheduled at the end of the month to reap the January box office market." Li Mingyang said, and then waved his hand, "No, no, Feng Kuzi may be scheduled around the 24th to dampen the enthusiasm of Let the Bullets Fly."

"Probably not..."

"Although Yinghuang and Huayi have many collaborations, Feng Kuzi's movies are the lifeblood of Huayi. If Feng Kuzi doesn't win the annual championship this year, then Weibo's Dugu Qiubai Feng Xiaogang will be the biggest joke in the entertainment industry this year."

Li Mingyang paused and said self-deprecatingly: "Although I clamored to bet 100 million with Feng Kuzi, I know myself well. I will be satisfied if your name can get 300 million. In my opinion, Feng Kuzi's biggest rival this year is Director Jiang."

Boss Yang stopped smiling this time. Instead, he frowned, poured himself a glass of wine, and wondered what Li Mingyang meant.

In just over a year, Li Mingyang emerged as the most legendary director in the domestic entertainment industry.

Boss Yang didn't dare to underestimate him at all.

"You mean, you want to help Jiang Wen become the new box office king." Boss Yang asked doubtfully.

"That's about right." Wang Changtian said.
