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

Chapter 308 I Like to Do Things to the Extreme

According to the development trend of the domestic film market, next year or the year after, there will definitely be movies with a box office of over 1 billion yuan in the market.

Three movies, a billion-dollar bet.

It is not difficult to make a movie a year with ticket subsidies and choose a schedule without conflicts or intense events.

With Jiang Wen firing at Feng Kuazi, he can really withdraw with the 300 million.

So as not to sink deeper and deeper.

The Lunar New Year holiday season hasn't even begun yet, but all parties are already breaking the rules.

If a fight really breaks out, it will surely be an extremely brutal battle.

There are all kinds of tricks...

And this is... what Zuoshandiao wants to see. He will not care, but will add fuel to the fire!

"I really don't want to fight!"

"Three hundred million isn't enough?"

"How would I know if this movie has the potential to be a box office hit?"

……

The next day, Li Mingyang’s Weibo account was unbanned.

Others were also released.

The ban was lifted more than half a month in advance.

Li Mingyang didn't want to compete, he just wanted to get 300 million at the box office, so he retreated and concentrated on his own One Punch Man.

But the vulture would not let him go.

"Director Li! Your Weibo account has been unblocked. You can post on Weibo without worry. I promise that you will not be banned again no matter what the situation is this year." Cao Huiji said with a smile.

Li Mingyang has finally been unblocked, and the popularity of Sina is about to come.

"You are awesome... It was you who sealed my name, and it was you who made me fight."

Cao Huiji understood that this "you" had nothing to do with him. "A Sword Net operation is coming soon. If there is anything unusual on your Weibo, call me directly and I will help you solve it in minutes."

"..."

After hanging up the phone, Li Mingyang got up from the bed, walked to the window and opened it.

Suddenly a chill came over us. It was very cold in Yanbei in mid-November.

Li Mingyang changed into a grey casual sports outfit, put on sunglasses and a hood, and was ready to go out.

ding dong...

Someone rang the doorbell. Li Mingyang thought it was the waiter, but when he looked out through the peephole, he saw it was Zeng Zhiwei and several bodyguards.

Li Mingyang opened the door and asked with a smile, "What's up?"

Zeng Zhiwei raised his head and smiled, and said in a hoarse voice: "Director Li, we didn't have a chance to have a good chat last night. This morning, I came down from upstairs to find you. I want to talk to you about something."

Li Mingyang nodded and came out of the room.

Zeng Zhiwei is very short, about 1.5 meters tall. Li Mingyang has to lower his head when talking to him, but he has to hold his head up.

The two of them exchanged a few casual pleasantries; both were quite tired.

They took the elevator to the restaurant on the third floor and sat down near the floor-to-ceiling windows.

The Ritz-Carlton Hotel has a rich breakfast, including Chinese and Western food, both à la carte and buffet.

Zeng Zhiwei seems to come here often, and the restaurant manager knows him.

"Director Li, do you have any dietary restrictions?" Zeng Zhiwei asked, holding the menu.

"I just want a bowl of white porridge and some pickled mustard tubers." Li Mingyang waved his hand and said, imitating Xiao Ma Ge.

The smile on Eric Tsang's face grew wider. He ordered some Hong Kong-style dim sum, and finally asked for two bowls of white porridge and a pile of side dishes.

While waiting, Zeng Zhiwei did not say anything, but just kept talking about how powerful Yinghuang was in Hong Kong.

Li Mingyang didn't say anything either, just nodded occasionally, lit a cigar, and listened quietly to Zeng Zhiwei.

This hotel is quite weird, smoking is not allowed in the restaurant, but cigars are allowed...

Ten minutes later, a sumptuous breakfast was pushed in by a food cart. The waiter placed the dishes and left only after making sure there were no other requests.

"Director Li, I heard that you and Liu Xinyou were having a bad time?"

"If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten about this person."

Zeng Zhiwei squeezed his facial features together and said with a sly smile: "I was the one who brought Annie Liu to debut. Director Li, if you like her, I can help you make some connections."

"Oh, what do you want?"

"Yinghuang is the only dominant company in the Hong Kong circle. Life is really hard for us little people. We finally come to the mainland, but Yinghuang issues a ban and forces people to sign indentures. Many people are miserable..." Zeng Zhiwei said a lot of things in a evasive manner.

Outsiders may not understand, but Li Mingyang understands.

Because he was the one who did this.

As the saying goes, the person who tied the bell must be found to untie it. Eric Tsang is quite amazing that he found the person who tied the bell so quickly.

"This matter has nothing to do with me." Li Mingyang denied it flatly.

Zeng Zhiwei smiled, hating Li Mingyang in his heart, but he could do nothing about it.

His background is not clean, even bad.

If he were to deal with Li Mingyang, no one else would need to get involved. Li Mingyang alone could drag him back to Hong Kong in disgrace.

In the Hong Kong circle, he can handle a lot of things with just his face.

But the mainland... is really too tricky.

Some people are simply untouchable, and Li Mingyang is one of them.

"Come, come, this shrimp dumpling is very good... Director Li, are you interested in the Academy Awards?"

"Of course I'm interested."

"If you're willing to help, the important awards are beyond the reach of a small person like me, and you can pick any of the new human awards."

Eric Tsang is the president of the Hong Kong Performing Artistes Association and has held the position many times. He enjoys a high reputation in the Hong Kong circle.

Although he has countless negative information, he has a firm stance, a wide network of contacts, countless friends, and has helped many people.

For example, Andy Lau and Principal Gu have received his kindness. In addition, he has a deep relationship with TVB.

The board of directors of the Academy Awards is composed of more than a dozen associations, and many decisions are made by the chairmen of the associations.

Among them, the three with the most say and influence are the Hong Kong Film Industry Association, the Hong Kong Film Directors Association and the Hong Kong Performing Artists Association.

The Hong Kong River is not big. You can’t see it when you look up, but you can see it when you look down.

In fact, after all, the Academy Awards are decided by these three associations.

And Zeng Zhiwei can indeed influence the selection of the Academy Awards.

Especially for Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Actress, and Best New Performer, his votes are very important.

Through substitution, he can influence the entire trend of the Academy Awards.

Li Mingyang finished his breakfast in silence and told Zeng Zhiwei that he would only consider helping him if he won the Academy Award.

Zeng Zhiwei was very dissatisfied with the result. "Director Li, this won't do! How long do we have to wait? Your new movie hasn't been released yet! According to the rules of the Academy Awards, you won't be able to make it to next year's Awards. You can only wait until the year after!"

"That's the truth. If you don't want to, forget it." Li Mingyang wiped the used chopsticks clean with a napkin, then put them in the palm of his hand and rubbed his hands together.

"Director Li, we are all in the same industry, so let's be merciful when we can... You still have such a long way to go, there's no need to do that! It's really unnecessary."

"Feng Kuzi said something very right, I am not from the circle."

"..."

“I just like to do things to the extreme.”

Li Mingyang spread out his hands, and the chopsticks twisted into a twist fell on the table, shocking Zeng Zhiwei so much that his eyes popped out.

He brought his bodyguards here today, hoping to shock Li Mingyang, but he didn't expect that Li Mingyang was even more terrifying than the legend...

"That's it. I'm leaving now. Remember to pay the bill."

After saying that, Li Mingyang stood up, strode out of the restaurant, returned to the hotel room, and took out the notebook from the drawer.

Open it and put a check mark next to the first Weibo post that is unbanned.

28 items, all done.

Li Mingyang called Wang Changtian and asked him to release the theme song of Your Name, "Disappearance".

Wang Changtian was filled with emotion, and Li Mingyang finally agreed to move.

The song "Disappearance" had been kept on hold for a long time, and Wang Changtian wanted to release it several times.

But "Disappearance" cannot really be considered an excellent Chinese song.

Compared with the lone hero, it is a level lower.

Compared to the men's style, it's worse... the melody is not magical enough.

It's below standard.

But he didn't dare to say it or ask, and could only hope that Li Mingyang could turn decay into magic.

After all, this was the theme song that he carefully selected, abandoning the original four songs and changing them into interludes, and it took him almost two months to create.

"Song promotion... I feel like it's just so-so. I hope it works."

Many movies used songs for promotion this year, among which Wang Lihong's "Love Announcement" is the most famous.

The theme song Things You Don't Know is very popular and the album sold very well, but the box office was terrible...

Da Xiao Jiang Hu also promotes songs, but not many people sing covers online and the number of song downloads is not high.

After "Disappeared" was released on major music platforms, Li Mingyang did not pay too much attention to it. Instead, he took a plane to Shanghai and then returned to Hengdian.

At around six o'clock in the evening, Li Mingyang returned to Mingyang Entertainment.

In fact, he could have come back a long time ago.

In mid-October, Liu Shishi left Lanhua Yu'an and temporarily lived in the villa that Yang Mi had renovated.

The reason why it took so long to return to Hengdian was mainly because Li Mingyang wanted to see whether Wu Zhikui could run the film department independently.

Over a month later...

Wu Zhikui's actions shocked Li Mingyang...

Zhang Zhao's greatest achievement during his tenure at Mingyang Entertainment was that he carried out a series of reforms in the film department and developed a very standardized industrialized film production process.

However, Wu Zhikui dismantled Zhang Zhao’s film industrialization system framework!

It was disassembled very thoroughly...

It made everyone not know what to do.

The matter was brought to Li Mingyang's attention, but he ignored it and just wanted to see how Wu Zhikui would handle it.

Without Zhang Zhao's system, it would be very difficult to manage a film and television company with more than 300 people.

Li Mingyang didn't make it difficult for him, but he increased the intensity himself.

After dismantling Zhang Zhao's system, Wu Zhikui dismantled the original four major groups, one special effects and five departments, merged them into one department, and established the One Punch Man production team.

Then... the most outrageous thing happened: no actors were hired.

The production team will directly select actors and start working!

Then they spent money like water, on special effects, props, explosions...

The result of the photo was surprisingly good.

The plot is based on One Punch Man, and the acting skills of all the cast are surprisingly good!
The special effects are a bit outrageous and explosive, and it actually feels a bit like Iron Man.

Although it’s a bit rough, it’s made in China!
Li Mingyang came to the special effects department on the sixth floor. Wu Zhikui and others were sitting around a round table, discussing something.

Seeing Li Mingyang coming back, everyone stood up.

"Director Li, you're finally back."

"Boss, how did we do this time? Did we not screw it up?"

"If this doesn't work, I'm going to question my life and whether I'm suitable for this job."

Everyone looked at Li Mingyang with expectation, and Li Mingyang suddenly felt that everyone's eyes were shining...

Not as lifeless as before.
