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

Chapter 428 Domestic Movie Pill!

Li Mingyang and his group took the VIP elevator to the second floor.

Walk through the spacious corridor, come to the door of the banquet hall, write down your name, and enter the venue.

At this time, the hall was filled with people and very lively.

Today's press conference is neither a press conference for light nor a press conference for bouquets of flowers.

It was iQiyi’s strategic cooperation press conference.

After Li Mingyang, Wang Changtian and Zhang Zhao learned the ins and outs of the land, they discussed it for several hours.

Finally, a consensus was reached that there was no chance of getting the land if they relied on Lao Jia.

With the mentality of giving it a try, Wang Changtian contacted Gong Yu.

Gong Yu was very interested in the land and expressed his willingness to provide full support.

After the three of them discussed it, they all felt that Gong Yu's real interest was not in drinking.

It's not the land he wants.

Instead, they want to cooperate with Re-Guangguang and even acquire shares in it.

Tudou’s funds could not keep up with the pace of large companies. It went public on the U.S. stock market in early July in an attempt to turn things around. However, it encountered a scandal involving fraud in Chinese concept stocks and its stock price fell below the issue price upon listing, continuing to fall for five consecutive days.

Wang Wei is already looking for someone to take over. Accountant Cao from Sina and Lao Gu from Youku are both very interested.

Penguin Video is now teaming up with Youku to buy movies like crazy.

The industry's second-strongest player, iQiyi, was isolated and madly intercepted...

Gong Yu wanted to get out of his predicament, but mangoes were not enough, and he needed a new blood supply center.

The three people's target is the land, and the content is secondary. It doesn't matter who they sell it to.

Li Mingyang still has a bunch of ancient costumes in his hands and is looking for someone to take over...

So there was this press conference, a press conference for the two sides to form a mortal alliance.

In addition to hundreds of media outlets, the iQiyi press conference was also attended by many middle and senior executives from film and television companies and fashion magazines.

Such a grand event is naturally not short of stars. The four Dan actresses and two Bing singers are all present. It can be said that Huayi has so many stars.

Liu Shishi entered the venue and sat next to Cai Yinong, while Li Mingyang and Wang Changtian greeted their acquaintances and sat down in two adjacent seats in the first row.

When Gong Yu saw Li Mingyang and Wang Changtian coming, he signaled the staff to start the press conference.

A few minutes later, the press conference began.

Just when everyone thought Gong Yu would give a long speech, Gong Yu just said a few brief words, then stepped down from the stage himself and invited Li Mingyang and Wang Changtian to the stage.

There was a commotion at the scene.

Wang Changtian has been attending events very frequently recently. Every time he faces reporters, he complains about the shortcomings of domestically produced films. No matter what questions the reporters ask, he can always turn the topic back to the shortcomings of domestically produced films.

And he really dares to say it and really dares to criticize.

They criticized Huayi for being a coward, criticized Wanda for removing the poster of The Witch, criticized China Film for not scheduling screenings for The Witch, and criticized Bernardo for removing all screenings for The Witch and only caring about making money by selling Autobot toys.

The organizers couldn't stop it.

Media reporters dare to listen and write, but the editor-in-chief will not approve it.

When the people in the audience saw Wang Changtian pick up the microphone, many of them rolled their eyes.

"Domestic movies are doomed! Transformers 3 is aiming for 20 billion yuan at the box office, but it's hard for domestic movies to even break million yuan."

"Everyone knows how the 200 million mark was reached when the Party was founded."

"But Transformers 3 is really something that audiences spent real money on, really liked, and really wanted to watch. The box office was nearly million in four days!"

"What's the point of moving up the release date of Harry Potter? Even if Hollywood's Harry Potter does prevent Hollywood's Transformers from breaking 20 billion, is this victory worth celebrating? Is it worth it?"

"Why don't you give domestic films a chance? The injustice of The Witch is the reality of domestic films. They worship foreign things and say, 'I believe in you, go ahead and shoot boldly,' but then they turn around and don't schedule the screening, saying something like 'market economy!'"

"He really just finished talking."

No name was mentioned, but most people present knew that they were talking about Zuoshandiao.

Most of the reporters in the audience didn't even touch their pens, because there was no point in writing.

Just as the reporters calmed down and waited for Wang Changtian to get tired of talking.

Wang Changtian suddenly stopped talking, turned around and sat back in his seat.

puff puff...

Li Mingyang patted the microphone, then took off his sunglasses and put them on the long table. He placed his arms on the table, leaned forward, glanced at the people in the audience, smiled gently, and said, "Boss Wang is too excited. I don't know if I should be excited or not, because he has expressed all my excitement and what I wanted to say."

"I think Transformers 3 is very good, a culmination of Hollywood commercial blockbusters. The filming period of Witch was less than one month, and another episode of Running Man was filmed in the middle. The post-production took only 1 days, so it was only 45 days at most. The time was too short, and many parts were not done well. There was no 3D version, only 2D. In addition, the subject matter was limited, so it was not unfair for the loss, and the scheduling cannot be blamed alone."

"Last night, I looked at the cold and dismal box office data of Witch and suddenly thought, if Weathering With You meets Transformers 3, can it compete with it? Once this thought came to me, I couldn't get rid of it anymore and I couldn't sleep all night."

"It's a pity that Weathering With You hasn't started filming yet. It's really a pity."

"Recently, there have been many comments online saying that domestic films are doomed, or similar remarks. I think these are exaggerated. Domestic films are just getting started. The commercialization of mainland films started with Feng Kuazi's "Party A and Party B" in 98, and it has only been 13 years... The big-budget commercial film started with Chen Kaizi's "The Promise" in 05, and it has only been six years. It has only been less than a year since domestic films broke the 6 billion mark."

"This year, Hollywood is the dominant force in the film market, and domestic films are wailing. When Witch was first released, I wanted to win honor for domestic films, but unfortunately I didn't win honor. I felt very suffocated, and I couldn't swallow this humiliation."

"Many netizens said that Your Name is a sister film, and Weathering With You is my last fig leaf. If Weathering With You fails, my so-called box office legend will be shattered. So Weathering With You will definitely not be released this year."

"People in the industry also think so, because the script of Weathering With You has not been approved yet. Many people think that I deliberately did not allow the script to be approved in order to escape this bleak 2011."

"I can tell you very clearly here that Weathering With You will definitely be released this year."

"This year, the film industry is terrified when talking about Hollywood. In fact, there are also terrible domestic films, and that is my Weathering With You. Thank you everyone."

……

“Weathering With You is coming out this year.”

"Li Mingyang is betting everything he has on domestic films to prove that they are not finished yet."

"The Witch was a box office failure, but Director Li did not lose."

"Weathering With You is expected to be released at the end of the year, and this year's Lunar New Year movie season will be another big hit."

"Go Dongda Film!"

"Will you witness a miracle or the fall of a genius? This year we will find out!"

Not long after the iQiyi press conference ended, Li Mingyang dominated the entertainment news of the four major portals!
Sina Weibo and Tencent Weibo are flooded with news about Weathering With You.

Netizens like to watch buildings collapse.

Li Mingyang the Witch was defeated miserably and immediately fought back with Weathering With You. If he won, he would prove himself again, but if he lost, his whole building would collapse.

Just when the whole internet was discussing Weathering With You and Li Mingyang.

Douban suddenly started to score.

More than 7.4 people rated it, points.

The crew of The Four.

"It's so high!" Liu Yifei exclaimed in surprise, then picked up the notebook from the coffee table and placed it on her lap.

After looking through the reviews for a while, I found that the four-star and five-star ratings mainly focused on Liu Shishi's outstanding acting skills and ultimate violent aesthetics.

The two-star and three-star reviews complained that the first half was too boring, and that Zhang Ruoyun was too pretentious, which was uncomfortable to watch, but it was so satisfying when she was beaten.

Some netizens were scared by Liu Shishi’s last smile and deducted one star.

No one-star reviews?
Liu Yifei finished reading the comments, stretched her back, and wondered, "No one has complained about her acting skills. Her acting is mediocre, her eyes are dull, and her lines are emotionless. It's so unfair! Are all netizens blind?"

Liu Yifei hasn't seen The Witch yet, but she's heard it's very bloody and violent.

"Xixi, what are you looking at?" Liu Yan sat next to Liu Yifei intimately and said with a smile.

"Witch's Douban review."

"The score is out! Isn't 7.4 a bit low? The beginning of The Witch is literary and suspenseful, but the end is mindless and exciting. It's so exciting that it makes people excited."

"you saw it?"

“There are high-definition pirated copies online!”

"That's not a good idea. If Mr. Wang knew about this..."

"It doesn't matter. The witch is beyond help."

Liu Yifei thought about it and decided to go home after the dinner to look for resources on Baidu.

It is very easy to find pirated copies these days. There are so many of them on Baidu’s homepage that you can always find one you can watch directly.

If you really can’t find it, you can use QVOD. Just search and it will be there. You can watch it directly without any lag.

After the dinner ended in the evening, Liu Yifei went home holding her mother's arm.

As soon as she returned to the room, Liu Yifei couldn't wait to turn on the computer and look for the high-definition pirated version of The Witch.

The second one on the homepage is a high-definition pirated version. "How pitiful... It hasn't even been released for a week." Liu Yifei sighed, feeling that Liu Shishi was quite pitiful.

Ten minutes later, Liu Yifei blinked, totally unable to believe that Liu Shishi's acting skills were so good, she played the role of the blind man so vividly.

The stubbornness with her neck stiffened made the image of the heroine suddenly come alive.

"It feels okay." Liu Yifei said jealously.

Thirty minutes later, Liu Yifei frowned, feeling that the movie was a bit long-winded and had too much foreshadowing.

"So this is art and suspense... Isn't this part too much? Isn't the movie genre an action movie?"

Seven or eight minutes later.

Liu Yifei, sitting on the chair, seemed to be frozen in time, with the unexpected reversal, the pleasure of revenge, the ultimate aesthetics of violence, and just the right wind blade special effects.

The sharp electronic music of the Witch's Heart Web and the Witch's Heart Web constructed by flowing lines.

The visual and sound effects are full!

The blood is boiling and gushing out!

“It’s so exciting… huh!”

Liu Yifei murmured to herself, feeling envious and jealous, and no longer felt sorry for Liu Shishi at all.

The thrilling fight is over and the movie is drawing to a close.

Liu Yifei relaxed her mind, but suddenly saw the witch looking up and smiling creepily. She was so scared that she shuddered all over, "Duck, it's almost over, and you're still scaring me! Deduct one star!"

Liu Yifei patted her chest, feeling like she wouldn't be able to sleep tonight...

She got off the chair, walked out of the bedroom barefoot, went to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, took a bottle of mineral water and went back to the house.

Back in the room, Liu Yifei suddenly frowned, replayed The Witch, and moved the progress bar to the end.

"Is there a second part to this movie? It feels like it's over, but not completely over. The heroine only got the antidote, but she hasn't been cured yet..."

"There's going to be a second part!"

When Liu Yifei thought about the second part of The Witch, she felt hot all over and paced back and forth in the room. She was already too excited to sleep, and now she couldn't sleep at all.

"Xixi, don't go. We've been walking for over an hour. If you can't sleep, let's go out for a walk."

"Mom, go to sleep first."

"How can I sleep when you walk so loudly..."

Liu Yifei pouted, feeling disliked by her mother.

She threw herself on the bed and tossed and turned, unable to sleep. The curiosity in her heart was like a fire, burning through her body, getting hotter and hotter.

Even turning the air conditioner to the lowest setting did not provide any relief.

"Just ask!" Liu Yifei knelt on the bed, pushed back the hair in front of her eyes, picked up her phone and sent a WeChat message to Li Mingyang.

"The Witch is great, will there be a second part?"

After sending the WeChat message, Liu Yifei was about to throw her phone on the bed as usual and wait a while before looking at it again.

I didn’t expect Li Mingyang to reply immediately.

"No."

"Liar."

……

When Li Mingyang and Liu Yifei chat online, even if he sees someone's message, he won't reply right away. He will wait an hour or two before replying.

So that the conversation won’t go on endlessly.

I replied immediately today, mainly because there is an even more annoying person in front of me...Sun Li.

When Sun Li learned that Weathering With You would be released this year, she immediately rushed here from Hengdian.

Zheng Dalong also came with her.

When Boss Zhao saw Sun Li, his eyes lit up like a wolf seeing meat. When he heard that Sun Li wanted to talk to him about something, he immediately paused the filming and pulled Sun Li to sit on the sofa in the rest area next to him.

Li Mingyang really didn't want to talk to Sun Li.

At Sun Li's age, she's already 29! She also wants to play the female lead Yang Cai in Weathering With You. Besides being a woman, what else is suitable for her?

This girl had morning sickness during the filming, which made both her enemies happy and her loved ones sad. It's so funny.

It died before it even aired! The whole network was mocking it!
Whenever Li Mingyang thought of that scene, he felt uncomfortable no matter how he looked at Sun Li.

There is nothing wrong with Sun Li’s appearance, she is young, beautiful and has a mature style.

Her appearance started to decline after she gave birth to a child.

Generally, female celebrities will undergo cosmetic surgery to restore their appearance after giving birth.

Sun Li is not into medical beauty, but is obsessed with health preservation.

As time passed, she not only did not get younger, but she became older and older, and her eyes became more and more prominent, which prompted many netizens to remind her that she might have hyperthyroidism.

Embarrassing foot picking!

"Director Li, there's nothing wrong with Sun Li's acting skills, and her image is actually fine too... If you have to care about age, how old is Hu Ge already!" Zheng Dalong said exaggeratedly.

"I still want to call Hu Ge brother..." Sun Li said with a wry smile.

Hu Ge and Sun Li were both born in 82, and both were born in September, Hu Ge 920 and Sun Li 926.

Hu Ge is six days older than Sun Li.

But when the two of them stand together...Hu Ge is obviously the younger brother...

Li Mingyang lowered his head and sent a WeChat message to Liu Yifei, not wanting to respond.

Seeing this, Sun Li looked at Zheng Dalong and Boss Zhao for help.

Boss Zhao cleared his throat, and started to persuade with Zheng Dalong on the left and right. Both of them tried very hard and their mouths were dry.

Li Mingyang remained unmoved.

Sun Li was so anxious that she glanced around the crew, trying to find someone else to help.

The male protagonist Hu Ge naturally has a say.

But Sun Li looked around several times and couldn't find Hu Ge.

Where is Hugo? He was clearly here just now! Where did he go?
Sun Li couldn't find Hu Ge, so she had to settle for the next best thing. She stood up and waved to Tan Songyun, motioning her to come over.

Tang Yan was just wandering around and when she saw Sister Sun Li waving at her, she immediately walked over.

Unexpectedly, Sun Li glared at her, making Tang Yan very embarrassed and she stood there in a daze.

Although both are from the Shanghai circle, Tang Yan is a rising star after all, while Sun Li is the darling of the Shanghai circle.

Of course Tan Songyun knew that Sun Li was calling her. Tang Yan thought she was great, but she was humiliated halfway, so she was quite happy.

But she refused to get involved in the casting of Weathering With You.

Tan Songyun pretended not to see it and wanted to run away.

How could Sun Li let her run away? She trotted over, grabbed her, put her arms around her neck, smiled like a caring older sister, and said, "Little squirrel, can you help me put in a good word? If I play the role of Yang Cai, I will definitely get some benefits from you."

"My lady, please don't embarrass me."

If I had a say, the female lead would be mine... My age and appearance are perfect for the role!

"Do you want to be the female lead? I have a lot of scripts and I can recommend you to audition. Although it may not work out, it is still an opportunity. The audition for the female lead is very complicated. You have no experience in auditioning for the female lead. How can others know that you are suitable for the female lead and give you a chance?" Sun Li said in a persuasive manner.

When Tan Songyun heard this, it made sense. She was almost tired of playing supporting roles!
Even though Li Mingyang was the director and gave her the role of the second female lead, the director team and the producer collectively opposed it, so in the end she couldn't even keep the second female lead and was forced to play a role that she didn't know whether it was the fourth or fifth female lead...

"I don't know how to persuade him, he is very opinionated..."

"Just sit next to me."

Tan Songyun thought it was so simple, so he nodded in agreement.

Sun Li took Tan Songyun back to the rest area and sat side by side. When Li Mingyang looked over, she immediately smiled and said, "Director Li, what do you think of Tan Songyun? I think she is very suitable for the role of Yang Cai."

The air suddenly became quiet, and several people looked at Sun Li at the same time.

Li Mingyang silently rolled his eyes at Sun Li, put down his phone, and said, "Sister Li, I have my own arrangements for the casting of Weathering With You."

"What are the arrangements?"

"I can't tell you this."

Sun Li pretended to be puzzled and said, "Yang Mi?"

"..."

"Liu Yifei? If you're looking for Liu Yifei, then I really have nothing to say."
