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

Chapter 454: The Lonely Golden Rooster, the Unlucky Script, and the Dangerous Potatoes

We set off again, at around eleven o'clock in the evening.

Li Mingyang and his group arrived at the Hilton Hotel where they were staying.

In the huge bathroom, Li Mingyang was taking a bath, feeling very tired...

Ever since Hua Hai was injured, I have abstained from sex for more than half a month.

Li Mingyang began to indulge again, especially when Shishi's Bu Bu was broadcast.

Li Mingyang felt weak.

But I just couldn't help it, it was just like when I was in school with Jingtian.

Either they are making love or they are on their way to making love.

But Jingtian is alone!
Moreover, she fell asleep easily, but the two Jurchens did not give him time to catch his breath and wished they could eat him up.

Especially Mimi.

Mimi's physical strength is not very good, but she can add fuel to the fire!
"I can't go on like this... If Tiantian were here too, they would kill me." Li Mingyang left the bathroom and went to the bedroom.

I saw two women sleeping, one on the left and one on the right, with a large space in between.

Mimi and Shishi haven't been chatting much recently.

When it’s over, go to sleep.

As a female celebrity, how can she hope for the best for the other person?

Especially after the broadcast of Bu Bu, Shishi gained the national popularity she lacked the most, and her fame caught up with Mimi, making her one of the true Four Little Flowers.

Li Mingyang used to worry that the two women would have conflicts.

After a while, I felt a sudden pain in my waist.

He looked back and saw Yang Mi looking at him dimly.

Li Mingyang gave a wicked smile and went to hug Yang Mi.

Yang Mi happily turned over and hugged Li Mingyang's neck, and reached into the quilt to tease him.

"Husband, what award can you win at the Golden Rooster this time?"

"Let him rest and don't damage it." Li Mingyang said rationally.

"You seem quite proud of yourself, aren't you? Why are you tired?"

"My bones are almost broken."

"If Jing Tian comes, you will be broken."

"..."

"Hubby, when are you going to break up with Jing Tian? Isn't it enough to have me and Shishi accompany you for the rest of your life?"

"..."

"Husband..." Yang Mi said in a coquettish voice.

It is most difficult to accept the kindness of a beautiful woman.

"Well... I feel like I'm fine. You three can be together, too."

"Are you sure?" Yang Mi grinned and started again.

"Go to sleep. I have to walk the red carpet tomorrow." Li Mingyang was a little overwhelmed and said quickly.

Yang Mi said "oh" and blinked, "Is Jing Tian here?"

"No, although there were three nominations to your name, you didn't win any of them."

"You knew about this, but you still came? Feng Kuzi's Earthquake didn't even come for any of the nine nominations." Yang Mi frowned.

"Let the Bullets Fly" did not register for the competition this year, so its name is not on the nomination list.

"Aftershock" received 9 nominations, but the main creators including Feng Kuzi and Xu Fan were absent.

The Golden Rooster is unpopular...

It's freezing cold.

Although Wang Changtian, Zuoshandiao and Director Tian all asked him not to come.

But Li Mingyang still came, firstly to give face to Yan Zi, who served as the image ambassador of this year's Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival.

Secondly, Li Mingyang deeply agreed with Chen Jianbing’s principle of awarding prizes based on points, so he came to show his face.

The next day, Mimi stayed in the hotel.

Both girls received invitations, but Mimi had no plans to go.

Shishi and Hu Ge walked the red carpet together.

……

Li Mingyang, wearing a black suit, was in high spirits and waiting in the waiting area with Wang Changtian to enter.

Looking around, there are few big brands and stars on the red carpet.

The award presenter, actor Gao Hu, complained on Weibo yesterday that he couldn't buy a ticket back to BJ, revealing that "I was tricked into coming here at short notice, so I can't book a return trip."

The Golden Rooster's music has been unpopular for more than a year or two, but it's still cold like this.

Li Mingyang finally opened his eyes.

The host frequently called out: "Friends in Hefei, can you please give us some applause?"

Still no movement...

It was not until a group of otaku goddesses appeared on the stage in sexy dresses that sparse applause broke out.

Bai Bin also came and entered the venue with Qiu Xinzhi.

Twins is very popular and there were constant screams at the scene.

Ying Cai'er and Guo Fucheng followed closely behind.

Then, Gong Xinliang, the sexiest If You Are the One secretary tonight, appeared in a flesh-colored dress with big breasts.

After Hu Ge and Shi Shi came on stage.

The scene became deserted until Yan Zi arrived at the red carpet by car, and then the scene became lively again.

Originally, Yan Zi was supposed to be the finale, but she gave the finale position to Li Mingyang.

Thanks for his support...

It was already completely dark. Under the spotlight, Li Mingyang, the last performer, walked out from the backstage. He was wearing his signature sunglasses and a well-ironed suit. He just raised his hand to say hello.

There was a loud explosion at the scene!
"Ah! Ah! Li Mingyang is here!"

"Li Mingyang, I love you!"

"Famous throughout the world, invincible!"

"Famous throughout the world, invincible!"

There were actually light boards cheering at the scene, more than 30 light boards, and hundreds of people crowded to the front and shouted loudly.

It was messy at first, but soon became neat and tidy.

So many of his fans came.

Li Mingyang felt that he would not win the Golden Rooster Award, so he did not organize any support activities. Unexpectedly, many fans still came.

Li Mingyang ran to the guardrail and signed autographs for fans.

Because the signing time was too long, the security guard and the host came over to urge us to leave, and the award ceremony would be postponed if we didn't leave.

"Be safe, be safe, don't push forward, see you later."

Li Mingyang raised his hands and spoke as he retreated.

Amidst the thunderous roar of "I love you", Li Mingyang entered the venue happily.

Li Mingyang and Wang Changtian were in the third row, Director Tian was in the fourth row, and Shishi and Hu Ge were in the sixth row.

Li Shaohong is in the fifth row.

There are many old men and women in the first and second rows, as well as many enthusiastic "citizens".

Li Mingyang was just about to cover his mouth and tell Wang Changtian that this award ceremony was such a shoddy one.

The camera came towards him, and Li Mingyang smiled. When the camera was filming someone else, he said to Wang Changtian, "What a shabby stage."

"Golden Rooster is also called chicken ribs...the sponsors are all pulled by Yan Zi..." Wang Changtian covered his mouth and whispered.

Li Mingyang smiled and waited for the show to begin.

Any award ceremony.

People with connections will naturally know in advance whether they can win the award.

Li Mingyang knew that he would not win the award, so he was still very relaxed.

There were many song and dance performances at the opening of the Golden Rooster Awards, and some awards for children's films, art films, and opera films were interspersed in between. Li Mingyang watched for almost an hour before the Golden Rooster Awards officially began.

The first award to be presented is the Best Directorial Debut Award.

The award was finally won by Li Mingyang’s senior, Lu Yang from the directing department of Beijing Film Academy.

This directorial debut was really opened by Beijing Film Academy...

Li Mingyang looked at Lu Yang who went up on stage to receive the award.

Suddenly he turned around and looked at Director Tian.

When Director Tian saw Li Mingyang turning around, he waved his hand and signaled him to stay calm.

Li Mingyang was not convinced!

It was agreed that he would be given the directorial debut, but suddenly he was nominated for Best Director and the award was given to Lu Yang.

Li Mingyang felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, as if a thorn was in his back, and was in a very bad mood.

Even when he heard his name was in the Best Director category, he wasn't the least bit shocked.

Eleven o'clock at night.

The Golden Rooster Awards ended in a noble manner.

The winning films have either not been released nationwide yet or not many people have seen them after their release. The fact that these films are so highbrow and not widely appreciated fully demonstrates the "professionalism" of the Golden Rooster expert award.

The "box office blockbuster" "Your Name", the "main theme" "Aftershock", and the "word-of-mouth movie" "The Piano in a Factory" all failed to win any major awards.

After the award ceremony, Li Mingyang left his seat and followed Director Tian to the outside of the convention and exhibition center.

In a dark corner, Director Tian said with a smile: "It's a bit difficult to win the Best Director award this year, but don't worry, the school will definitely help you to check it out next year."

“What does this directorial debut mean?”

She can't compete with Director Chen for the Best Director award. She is a female director from Bayi Film Group and her first biographical drama is "Young Teacher"... Li Mingyang knows herself well and cannot compete with those in the system.

But it’s an okay directorial debut!

This award is dominated by Beijing Film Academy.

"Your Name is your second movie," Director Tian advised.

Li Mingyang got angry immediately.

"What do you mean by a second movie? Who in the director department hasn't made eight or ten movies? If I can't release them, then just don't give them to me!"

"Don't get excited! It's just a newcomer award." Director Tian said awkwardly.

"What do you mean by just one newcomer award? Please promise me one by one! I always give priority to students from Beijing Film Academy. I have never treated anyone unfairly. How much money have I donated to the school over the years? If not five million, at least four million."

Li Mingyang became more and more excited as he spoke. "It's wrong to win a newcomer award for a relationship that's like a bouquet of flowers, but what did you say? It's already been decided. Forget it this time, next time, next time, next time. How many next times do I have to wait for?" Director Tian scratched his face in embarrassment. The school's handling of this matter was particularly unkind.

It was agreed that it would be given and the list was ready, but when it came time to report it, there was a sudden quarrel.

It is said that Li Mingyang's heart is not in school at all, and he has never considered himself a student of Beijing Film Academy. He is just an opportunist who wants to rely on the school to win awards and gain fame and fortune.

It sounds like you guys are not the same...

However, the result was beyond Director Tian's expectations. The school leaders moved Li Mingyang to the Best Director award and gave the opportunity to Lu Yang.

"Ming Yang! Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. You don't have any background..."

“Do I need background?”

"Hey, you don't understand... this golden chicken... do you know who Lu Yang's father is?"

Li Mingyang was stunned and shook his head.

Director Tian sighed, "He's a director and professor at the Central Academy of Drama, he's a doctoral student, he's got a say in drama, literature, film, and television... he's better than me."

"Is this the reason?"

Director Tian nodded helplessly.

Li Mingyang asked the other person's name again and checked it on his mobile phone. It was really powerful. He was almost as powerful as Lu Sang's father, or even more powerful. He was a member of the Film Review Committee.

"Mingyang, don't be discouraged. You gave everyone face this time, and everyone will remember it."

face?

Haha, even at Beijing Film Academy, they still have to pick the students’ backgrounds.

Li Mingyang suddenly felt a little tired. What was this about earning points and school guarantees?

It's all bullshit.

It is the award barrier for cultural people.

Although he had always known this, he thought that he was from the Beijing Film Academy, and he made donations, got a job, and his directorial debut was exclusive to the Beijing Film Academy.

In the end, it was defeated by the background.

Want face?

Never need...

He is already a billion-dollar director, but because he is too serious and too outstanding, he endangers the interests of the Beijing, Hong Kong and Taiwan circles, and no one wants to see him.

He hammered Huayi, hammered Yinghuang, hammered Wanwan, hammered Feng Pants, and hammered everyone so hard that they dared not say a word.

Even so, it still lost to the background.

He comforted himself that iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video had all been fooled by the academic school for so many years.

Although I was from Beijing Film Academy, I was just a student who seldom attended classes.

He comforted himself that the school had his backing and if he managed it well, he would one day be able to become one of their own, just like Ning Hao.

How many years?
Year after year, the day lilies have become cold.

Li Mingyang was too lazy to say anything more and was about to leave when his cell phone suddenly rang.

It’s Zuo Shandiao’s phone number.

"What? If there are problems with the script, why did you approve it? I've almost finished filming, and you want me to change the script? Aren't you making fun of me?"

"You don't know if there are any problems with your script. It hasn't been filmed yet. I'm not asking you to delete it all. Just make some changes."

"I'm almost done with the special effects!"

"Please revise it. Otherwise, even if you send it to me, I'll cut it out. The pistol still can't appear. It's too discordant. Besides, the target audience of Weathering With You is young people. Can't the male protagonist solve the problem in other ways? Why does he have to use a gun? It has such a bad impact!"

The script of Weathering With You does have a big problem, which is the pistol that the male protagonist picked up...

The pistol is so important.

With truth in hand, everyone is equal.

Otherwise, the hero would never be able to get rid of the police and would have to save the heroine in the end.

So the background used was the fictional Miracle City.

Now that it’s almost done, they’re saying they want to delete it.

How do you say looking for a gun???
Li Mingyang felt that he was being targeted and glanced at Director Tian.

I am currently a graduate student in the directing department of Beijing Film Academy, and my supervisor is Director Tian.

……

The script of Weathering With You is not easy to change.

If it were that easy to change, Li Mingyang would have changed it long ago!
Li Mingyang and Wang Changtian mobilized all their connections to investigate what was going on.

It turns out that the issue of changing the script has always existed, but a few days ago, a meeting was suddenly held to discuss it, and a few people kept harping on the issue of minors carrying guns.

Li Mingyang submitted the original film without special effects for review and asked Zuoshandiao to help.

Hu Ge is almost thirty years old, how can he be a minor?

Because of script issues, the crew of Weathering With You stopped working. Li Mingyang was waiting for news in Yanbei and using his connections.

Three days passed and there was still no news.

Just when Li Mingyang was about to think carefully about how to change the script.

Zuoshandiao called him and asked him to go to the Zhongshu base.

Li Mingyang's heart skipped a beat at that moment.

I feel like it needs to be changed.

At around 3:00 p.m., Li Mingyang drove to the Zhongshu base and met Zuoshandiao smoking in a teahouse in the street scene of an ancient town.

"sit."

Li Mingyang looked around and didn't understand why Zuoshandiao arranged the meeting here.

"There's something wrong with your script, you know that, right?" Zuoshandiao said.

"Okay……"

"We held a meeting for two days. According to the current script, you only need to submit it for review. There is no room for negotiation. All the guns must be deleted." Zuoshandiao paused and continued, "Now there is a compromise. You change the characters of the male and female protagonists to adults, and the guns can be retained."

"This is a huge change. I'd rather delete the pistol."

"Anyway, this is the situation. You can decide for yourself. By the way, don't look for anyone else. The witch forced you to pass the review, which has already offended the people on the review committee. They will increase the intensity of their review of you... Don't rely on any luck."

"All right……"

Zuoshandiao took out two cigarettes and handed them to Li Mingyang.

Li Mingyang waved his hand and gave up.

Zuoshandiao didn't comment, lit one for himself and put the other on the table.

"After Wang Changtian bought shares in Tudou, he became very arrogant! He first threatened celebrities, then suppressed films of the same period, and even set up a TV industry alliance to sell films in a group."

"Tongmenghui?" Li Mingyang hesitated and said, "No wonder Guangguang's stock price has increased so much recently."

"You do not know?"

"I'm making a movie, and we're each minding our own business now."

"Let me tell you this. The government needs BAT to prop up the film market... Huace, Guangguang, Sina, and Meituan have invested in Tudou and joined forces to disrupt the video industry. This is indeed impressive, but it is not in line with the development of domestic films. So do you understand what the result will be?"

"How would I know."

"Sacrifice a small part to achieve the big picture."

Li Mingyang rolled his eyes silently in his heart. Here he goes again.

"Do you want me to persuade Wang Changtian to stop?" Li Mingyang said.

"You must be the most special director in the country...Others who have established themselves in the film industry will not shoot TV series or variety shows, but you don't care at all and shoot everything."

Zuo Shandiao took a deep puff of his cigarette and said, "Wang Changtian dared to go into the video industry because of you. Otherwise, he would be crazy to go there."

"I can't persuade him. He's obsessed."

"Actually, this is because you want to leave. The light rises because of you, and it will fall because of you. He is arranging a way out for himself, but that way out is a dead end."

Zuoshandiao waved his hand, "It's not like he won't come back. You have to give him confidence!"

"I already told you."

"Did you know that Wang Wei only has 3% of Tudou's shares?"

Li Mingyang's heart skipped a beat. 3%?

Tudou’s equity structure is neither AB shares nor Sina’s structure.

Its equity structure is simple.

3%, this is like running away.

"Really?" Li Mingyang frowned.

"He knows more about current affairs than you do..."

This is the advice from Zuoshandiao.

After leaving Zhongshu, Li Mingyang immediately went to the headquarters of Guangguang Media to find Wang Changtian and told Wang Changtian the number of shares Wang Wei held.

Wang Changtian was stunned for a full ten seconds before he said, "No, that doesn't make sense."

"That's what the mountain eagle said."

"He has selfish motives and must have taken advantage of others. Tudou still has a chance. If Wang Wei really wants to run away, he will wait for acquisition. It would be stupid to withdraw now."

Wang Changtian didn't believe it.

Li Mingyang felt that Wang Changtian was possessed by a demon, and he was just trying to persuade him as a partner.

Tudou is actually doing pretty well now. They have expanded their servers and invested heavily in broadband, so it isn't as slow as before.

I am doing very well in both self-made and purchased films.

Advertisements also sold extremely well, second only to Youku.

Not to mention that Wang Changtian didn't believe it, Li Mingyang also didn't believe that Wang Wei would run away at this time.

But since Zuoshandiao said so, Li Mingyang has an obligation to tell Wang Changtian.

"Anyway, I've got your message. Believe it or not, I'm going back to Hengdian first. The script still needs to be revised..."

Wang Changtian nodded and saw Li Mingyang out the door.

Back in the office, Wang Changtian felt something was wrong.

Wang Wei worked day and night, attending meetings, making plans, and negotiating. He was very hard-working! He didn't look like he was going to run away!
"what happened?"

"The mountain eagle will not shoot without a purpose..."

In the next few days, Wang Changtian put aside his official business at Guangxian and settled down in Tudou, discussing the development of Tudou with Wang Wei.

After a few days, Wang Changtian finally found out why Wang Wei had so few shares. It turned out that he was compensating his ex-wife.

At the same time, Wang Changtian deeply felt that Wang Wei was really a genius in creating content, but he was unlucky and met the cunning barbarian Lao Gu and the even more talented Li Mingyang.

Otherwise, Youku really can’t compete with Tudou.

Youku doesn't know how to do anything except mergers and acquisitions. And after the mergers, it particularly likes to interfere with the other company. It must be sick in its brain.

Wang Changtian became more and more confident about potatoes.
