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

Chapter 488: The annual money-making giant of domestic films!

Yu Dong thought about it and looked at Wang Changtian who had tortured Huang Shengyi into a mute lady.

Wang Changtian laughed, "We are in the same boat, and we are both the vanguards of Zuo Shandiao... If I want to slander someone, I would slander Li Lianjie, he is already old..."

Yu Dong sighed. Just as Wang Changtian said, it was unwise to slander Chen Kun. The Kung Fu Emperor was really old. There was no need to slander him. Just present the facts...

"Mr. Yu, although Longmen's box office was not greatly affected today, Chen Kun couldn't stand the huge exposure. That guy has a bit of a weird temper and is very inflated..." Li Mingyang kindly reminded.

Yu Dong rubbed his hands, feeling very, very bad.

If it was done by Li Mingyang and Wang Changtian, he wouldn't mind giving up some interests. The most annoying thing is that he can't find the mastermind behind it.

Dragon Gate has been released for more than ten days! Once you are affected, once you fall behind, you can never recover.

Yu Dong left the meeting room and went to his room on the top floor.

As soon as he entered the door, Xu Ke stood up and asked in a deep voice, "Director Yu, was it them who did it?"

Yu Dong shook his head.

"Oh!" Xu Ke closed his eyes in pain and held his forehead. The best outcome was that it was done by Li Mingyang and Wang Changtian. That way there would be room for maneuver and everything could be resolved quickly.

Yu Dong sat on the sofa, picked up a cigar from the cigar box on the coffee table, and began to toast it slowly.

Thick smoke came out of Yu Dong's mouth, covering half of his face. "Director Xu, do you think it was the Kung Fu Emperor who did it?"

"He still has some professional ethics even though he's paid to do things for others." Xu Ke shook his head.

Yu Dong was just guessing.

Although Longmen was not very friendly to Li Lianjie in its publicity, he gave him both remuneration and respect during the filming of Longmen.

As an old veteran, he should understand the rules of the entertainment industry and not be a explosive person like Li Mingyang.

Yu Dong and Xu Ke waited in the room for more than an hour, and Gong Yu finally came.

Although Gong Yu is not the person in charge of Nuomi.com, he has the right to command Nuomi, and his actual power is even above that of the person in charge of Nuomi.

Yu Dong approached Gong Yu just to do something about ticket subsidies.

The lowest group purchase price is 19.9 yuan. The prices of each cinema are different. Yu Dong wants to unify the cinema's prices to 19.9 yuan, and Bernard will be responsible for the subsidy.

Gong Yu is willing to cooperate, but the prerequisite is that Bernard must sell the existing film and television copyrights to iQiyi.

Yu Dong didn't want to sell, wanted to wait a little longer, and proposed to sell his shares...

"Director Yu, I don't have the authority to discuss the shares. Let's talk about the copyright. You name a price. If it's right, we'll sign the contract right away."

Gong Yu had no interest in Bernard's shares.

The share price of Guangxian soared, bucking the trend and driving up domestic film and television stocks.

Huayi and Huace reaped the benefits. When trading opened yesterday, their stocks hit the daily limit together with Guangxian.

However, after Bona went public on the US stock market, it did not enjoy any benefits from film and television stocks, and was even questioned by the American media about box office fraud, and its stock price even fell...

Yu Dong really needed capital support, so he offered a lot of shares, up to 10%, but Gong Yu was unmoved and kept playing Tai Chi.

After talking for more than half an hour without reaching an agreement, Gong Yu stood up regretfully, shook hands, and left.

Xu Ke had been listening in, and when Gong Yu left, he couldn't help but sigh.

Li Mingyang is really lucky.

Berna's listing on the US stock market has fallen into a cesspool.

He sold all of his Bernardus shares yesterday. He bought them for more than 10 million and lost more than 1 million.

The box office of Flying Daggers of Dragon Gate has nothing to do with Bernard's market value.

The performance of the films listed in mainland China is simply amazing. Box office sales are rising, stock prices are rising, and there is no sign of a high point at all.

If he had bought Guangxian's stocks half a year ago, he would have made at least five million by now!
The box office is a huge stimulus to investors!
At around 1:00 p.m., a celebration banquet for Longmen Feijia's breakthrough of 500 million was held at the Bouquet Hotel.

This time, Longmen’s 500 million celebration banquet was a grand event, with half of the entertainment industry attending.

Li Mingyang and Wang Changtian also came to show their support.

Zhang Weiping and Zhang Yimou also came from afar with The Flowers of War.

Longmen encountered a public relations crisis.

The ones I fear the most are Zhang Weiping and Zhang Yimou.

The three powers are in a tripod, everyone lives in peace and makes money together.

Once Longmen falls behind.

The market is hot.

Profits can cover the cost of public opinion.

Putting himself in Li Mingyang's shoes, Zhang Weiping didn't think that Li Mingyang would let the Thirteen Women go.

"Director Li, a hero is born young!" As soon as Zhang Weiping saw Li Mingyang, he trotted over and took the initiative to say hello.

Li Mingyang shook hands with Zhang Weiping calmly.

Zhang Weiping used to be a big player in the Beijing circle who dared to challenge it.

But all this changed after Zhang Yimou left New Picture.

Zhang Weiping is not Dong Ping. He doesn’t understand the entertainment industry or capital.

When they broke off ties with Zhang Weiping, Zhang Weiping took away the little yellow duck and Zhang Weiping got Ni Ni.

Then, Zhang Weiping couldn't even catch Ni Ni, and was forced out of the new picture by Ni Ni's combination of punches and switched to Huayi.

Li Mingyang glanced at Ni Ni. Ni Ni was wearing a red down jacket and had light and elegant makeup on.

It just so happened that Ni Ni was also looking at him, and their eyes met.

Ni Ni smiled slightly, a very innocent smile.

Innocence... ball.

After the indecent photos of this girl came out, she completely let herself go.

Private life is a mess.

If it weren't for her good acting skills, her ability to curry favor with others, and her popularity among both men and women, she would have long since disappeared from the domestic entertainment industry.

There are many "Mou girls", but not many of them can really gain a foothold in the circle.

The master leads you in. Cultivation is personal.

Some people are born to be in the entertainment industry.

That’s Ni Ni.

Li Mingyang came here just for formality, and halfway through the banquet, he went back upstairs to sleep.

In the next few days, Yu Dong used his connections to settle Chen Kun's matter and minimize the impact, but Longmen's box office was still affected.
The single-day box office remained stable at more than 20 million, pinning it in third place.

Then...Berna and the new picture started fighting!
Berna Cinemas, together with three other cinema chains, threw "The Flowers of War" into a niche theater.

The new images created public opinion and stripped away the gorgeous 3D effects of Dragon Gate Flying Daggers.

To be fair to Longmen, the IMAX 3D effect is impeccable, and is even better than many Hollywood pseudo-3Ds.

The problem is that, apart from the 3D effects, Longmen cannot be considered a qualified martial arts movie.

Unbelievable character relationships, unbelievable plot structure, unbelievable performance style...

Waste of factory’s public image.

Flying Daggers of Dragon Gate too deliberately highlights the 3D effect, and the plot serves the 3D. This is putting the cart before the horse. If you watch it for the special effects, you will definitely not be disappointed.

But I went there for the martial arts sentiment and the plot.

You will be greatly disappointed.

Bernard and New Picture started a fight, using various means one after another, but the box office was not affected, but instead kept going higher and higher.

Li Mingyang reacted.

The two families fought fiercely, wishing to kill each other.

The popularity of the two movies has been greatly increased, and the box office is rising steadily.

If this had happened a few days ago, Li Mingyang would have definitely been in trouble.

Now, there is no need.

Because Weathering With You has emerged from its cocoon as a butterfly, spread its wings and soared high, firmly occupying the position of the leader.

The box office of Dragon Gate and Flowers of War increased, and Weathering With You also followed suit!
Even though Weathering With You received mixed reviews on Douban, with 7.1 people rating it, the score dropped to .

The shortcomings of the weak plot were infinitely magnified.

The product placement was exposed, there were 35 product placements, ranking first in China, and it was criticized for being ugly.

In particular, the awkward placement of Xiaomi's press conference in the movie was ridiculed by netizens.

Ignore all attacks, smears, piracy, bad reviews...

Weathering With You is unstoppable and has become the annual money-making giant of domestic films!

With unprecedented momentum, it will challenge the box office records of If You Are the One 2, Let the Bullets Fly, and Your Name, and strive to be the number one domestic film box office!

The box office explosiveness demonstrated by Weathering With You not only silenced domestic filmmakers, but also stunned the Hollywood media.

They couldn't understand why a special effects blockbuster that looked so childish could get such a crazy box office!
It even surpassed Kung Fu Panda 2, Pirates of the Caribbean 4, Harry Potter and the Dark Knight, Fast & Furious 5, and G.I. Joe: Resurrection, which swept the mainland film industry and beat all the domestic films.

In terms of special effects, commercial content, and investment, these five Hollywood blockbusters are all better than Weathering With You!
The box office is metaphysics.

Li Mingyang thought about the transformation of Weathering With You for a long time and summed up many reasons. The most important one is to cater to the persistence of giving up Makoto Shinkai's literary youth and embrace the mainstream market again!
Give up the exaggeration of the disaster, give up the criticism of society, give up a lot of foreshadowing, give up the trolley problem, give up the open ending...

Give, a simple happy ending!

Two unfortunate people were attracted to each other, gave to each other, and finally got together!

Have a beginning and an end!

……

June 12th, around ten o’clock in the evening.

Li Mingyang's solo concert ended with the last show.

The fans had already left, and Li Mingyang sat on the stage, looking at the empty venue.

I feel more comfortable than ever before.

Since the opening of the market on Monday, the 26th, Guangguang’s stock price has been hitting the daily limit for three consecutive days. Weathering With You broke million yesterday.

Today, the concert is over and he can finally leave the Magic City.

Go fight the last battle before going abroad!
This time, our opponents are not just the Hong Kong and Beijing circles!
There are also Internet investors who want to use him to invade the entertainment industry.

Internet capital is sharpening its knives and is eager to reap the market.

The Beijing and Hong Kong circles are unprecedentedly united and on high alert to defend their basic base.

The two sides started fighting.

No matter who wins or loses, it will not benefit Li Mingyang in any way.

Domestic entertainment has no room for him, and neither does the Internet.

From a certain perspective, it would be most beneficial for him to reap the benefits of the Internet together with the Beijing and Hong Kong circles.

Once the Internet controls the market, it will not only be of no benefit to him, but will also be self-defeating.

It’s the same principle as Didi Taxi.

Internet capital has seized the market and burned money like crazy. Drivers have received high subsidies and customers have benefited.

However, once you control the market.

Both drivers and customers have become leeks.

Especially the behemoth Alibaba, which doesn’t care about the industry ecology or the survival of the industry.

Jack Ma calls it subverting traditional industries and injecting more vitality and creativity into the lifeless traditional industries.

In fact, the tricks of Internet capital sound better than they sound, but in essence, they are designed to hurt others with their own capital.

He deceived investors and the market into investing in him by telling stories and making promises.

Then, they rely on the large amount of capital they have raised to hurt others at their own expense. First, they completely disrupt the original structure of the traditional industry, kill all the old companies, and then become the only dominant player in the industry and completely monopolize the entire industry.

After the monopoly, it will not bring new vitality to the entire industry as mentioned before, but will make the entire industry lack of real innovation.

Why should I innovate? I have already monopolized the market. Innovation means cost and risk. I can just lie down and count my money. Why should I stand up, work hard, spend time and effort, and take risks to make money bit by bit?

Ali’s logic is simple and crude, and it is contagious.

All large Internet companies later followed this logic.

And the domestic entertainment industry has evolved into that miserable state.

Relying on copyright, traffic, streamlining of channels and monopoly of the middle links, I can just force-feed you shit with the least amount of money. Anyway, no matter how you change channels, it is the content provided by me. If you don’t like it, you can only bear to watch it, unless you don’t want to watch it.

I don’t care what your aesthetic taste is or which star you like. I have the final say over my own content. I can cast whoever I want and package him or her as a star, and he or she will become very popular.

I can even distort people's aesthetic tastes by controlling the public opinion network, and even make money from men and women through gender confrontation and gender war, and completely drain everyone's wallets.

Intellectually speaking, others have set up the stage for you and are trying to make you the first to do so!

It's a fire pit and you shouldn't jump into it.

But personal grudges! How can there be so much rationality!
Just do it!

……

Yanbei.

Wang Dajun took the elevator and arrived at the door of the room deep in the corridor according to the room number.

Instead of knocking on the door, he called the other party directly and said he had arrived.

The door opened.

Wang Dajun took a look at Cao Lin, who looked a little haggard, and was really speechless.

It is normal for Cao Lin to want to start his own business.

Wang Dajun supports it.

But this B actually took secret photos of Bai Bin, blackmailed her, and made hundreds of training videos when Bai Bin was still an 18th-tier star, in an attempt to control Bai Bin, take her for herself, and make money for herself.

Do you really think Yinghuang is made of clay?
Actually... this is understandable, Shirahama is still quite valuable.

The worst thing is that Li Mingyang caught me in the act! !

And they even got caught with evidence!

It’s so difficult for him to save her!

"What happened?" Cao Lin asked nervously.

"He's holding on to you and won't let go. I've already raised the offer to eight million! And he still won't reconcile."

"Keep adding until he is satisfied."

"This is not a matter of money. I feel like Li Mingyang seems to know something..." Wang Dajun hesitated.

"No way, I've only just started."

Huayi sold a lot of original shares to celebrities, and a large number of shares will be unblocked next year. If it does not have the money to buy back the shares held by celebrities, the stock price will definitely fall badly.

This matter has actually been bothering him for a long time, and a while ago he finally figured out what to do.

Using the immeasurable value of film and television stocks, people are tricked into going public through backdoor listing!

Stimulate the entry of nouveau riche!
Cao Lin has always been in charge of this matter. He has many connections in Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan, and is the best person to be in charge of this matter.

Before he even started, he was caught red-handed by Li Mingyang.

It's so unlucky that the mission failed.

"Don't think about solving it from Li Mingyang. The higher the price you offer, the harder he'll hold on to you! Start with Bai Bin. You should know her well enough! Use money to kill her!"

When it comes to understanding, Cao Lin gets into trouble.

He had been reflecting these days and suddenly realized that he didn't actually understand Shirahama.

If it wasn't that day, he would have decided to look for Shirahama on a whim.

He almost suspected that Baibin was setting her up.

At that time, Yinghuang signed more than 20 mainland female artists at one time.

Bai Bin was quite ordinary at that time. He never dreamed that Bai Bin would become the person favored by Yinghuang!
“Actually, I don’t think I know him.”

"Then let's just drag it out."

"We can't delay any longer. Those people have already said they are willing to cooperate! If we delay any further, we will suffer huge losses."

Wang Dajun instantly became interested and started to inquire.

We learned that three companies wanted to go public through a backdoor listing via film and television stocks.

Wang Dajun couldn't hide his joy, and the smile on his face was unprecedented.

"I'll go negotiate again. If that doesn't work, I'll go find a mountain eagle."

"Boss Wang, hurry up!"

"Uh-huh."

Wang Dajun left the room. The moment the door closed, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared and he walked towards the elevator hall with a calm face.

When the elevator reaches the underground parking garage.

Wang Dajun had already made a decision in his mind.

Since there are really people willing to go public through a backdoor listing of film and television stocks, then why would I need you?

I can just organize the group myself.

……

Late at night, Bouquet Hotel.

"You guessed it right. Huayi is really helping other companies to go public through backdoor listings." Wu Zhikui hung up the phone and turned to Li Mingyang.

“How many companies?”

"This matter is kept highly confidential. Li Xue only knows that this happened, but she doesn't know the details."

Li Mingyang hummed, turned his wrist to check the time, and said, "Tomorrow morning, I will call those companies and ask them if they are interested in working with me."

"With you? Shouldn't it be with the light?"

"Guangguang is not good enough. Guangguang does not have the conditions to help other companies go public through backdoor listing. Besides me, there is only one Liu Yan who can be called a star in Guangguang."

Li Mingyang shook his head and said, "As the largest agency in the mainland, Huayi has many celebrities under its umbrella and is the most suitable company to help other companies go public through backdoor listing."

"I always feel that backdoor listing is not mature enough..."

"When they are mature, it will not be their turn. It is the same in all walks of life. Only the first batch will really make a fortune."

Wu Zhikui lowered his head and thought for a while, then asked in confusion: "How can this backdoor listing be used as a sniper? I am not questioning your influence, but you are alone..."

Li Mingyang suddenly laughed and said, "Yeah, I couldn't snipe originally, but now I have a chance to snipe."

Wu Zhikui was puzzled.

Li Mingyang shook the red wine glass and explained to Wu Zhikui.

The three major domestic film companies are Huayi, Bona, and Guangguang.

The weakest foundation is light.

The company with the strongest foundation is Huayi, which receives more state subsidies every year than even Berna and Guangxian combined.

In fact, Bernard's production and distribution capabilities are very strong, but he was unlucky and listed on the US stock market...

This is also the fundamental reason why Yu Dong often complained about Zuoshandiao in front of the media after he stepped down.
.

Zuoshandiao could only laugh. He really didn't expect that listing on the U.S. stock market would become Berna's biggest shortcoming.

The reason why Guangguang can become the new king of domestic entertainment is mainly due to Maoyan, followed by Caitiaowu. Caitiaowu has basically monopolized most of the domestic animation film market through capital injection and mergers and acquisitions.

When Guangxian first went public, it relied on malicious publicity and promotion.

The dark light is more obvious and known to everyone, while Huayi is more low-key and generally not made public.

After starring in "Du Lala's Promotion", Wang Luodan said in an interview with the media that the biggest difference between TV and movies is the age of the heroine. She offended Xu Dahahua and was taken to the door by her agent to apologize that night.

Deng Chao's "Bad Angels" collides with Guan Hu's "Old Cannon". In order to protect "Old Cannon", Huayi mobilized the power of the Beijing circle and united more than 80 directors to ban Deng Chao.

The bottom line of business competition?
In the eyes of capital, the bottom line is what others should abide by, not capital itself.
