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

Chapter 489 I don’t need your consent, my consent is enough!
In the film industry before 2000, there were no such things as gossips about female stars or things that would shock people’s worldview. Most of the stars at that time came from art troupes, and they paid more attention to their image as actors.

However, ever since the two brothers Wang Jinhua and Wang Dajun followed the example of the Hong Kong circle and came up with a star-level classification system for the film and television industry, the mentality within the circle immediately began to change.

The entertainment industry is getting worse and worse every year, and in order to stand out, female stars are becoming more and more daring.

As long as you become famous, countless wealthy people will be waiting for you outside your door with luxury cars filled with cash. Who can resist such a luxurious life of wealth and luxury?
If you can bear it, then just wait until you become old and ugly and no one cares about you.

For example, Huo Siyan.

As a result, there are more and more gossips and scandals about female celebrities in the entertainment industry, and people are complaining about them. Are they people's artists or brothel artists?

For this reason, Huayi often issues statements saying that outside criticism is slander.

Not long ago, Wang Dajun was in tears and looked extremely pitiful. He said in front of the media how much he had contributed to the Chinese film industry. Without Huayi, the leader of Dongda Film, Dongda Film would still be as half-dead as it was in 98.

Has Huayi made any contribution to domestic films?

there must be!
Otherwise, the higher-ups would not have turned a blind eye and allowed the brothel brothers to do whatever they wanted.

Huayi has created many new ways of playing in domestic entertainment.

The most profitable of these is the development of derivatives and speculation on film and television concept stocks!
For example, concepts such as cultural real estate, celebrity IP, film and game interaction, etc.

Following Huayi's lead, people in the pig farming, steelmaking, tourism, fireworks and vegetable industries all came to acquire film and television companies. As long as they were associated with the film and television concept, their stock prices would soar.

Domestic entertainment companies are going crazy with backdoor listings...

The person who impressed Li Mingyang the most was Dong Ping, the first shell of cultural stocks!

In 2005, Dong Ping listed Poly Huayi in Hong Kong through a backdoor listing and later changed its name to Huayi New Media. In 2008, Dong Ping transferred 17 billion shares to external parties and successfully cashed in HK$2.21 million and exited.

In 2009, Dong Ping incorporated his film and television business into the Hong Kong-listed Shanghai United Cement, bought a cement plant, and then transformed it into China Culture Media, which was later acquired by Alibaba.

Change its name to Alibaba Pictures!

This one is famous!

But the one who really makes a lot of money... Dong Ping is actually not on the list.

Li Mingyang remembers that Yinji Media went public through a backdoor listing of Gaojin Food, a pork producer, and replaced all of Gaojin Food's original pork production business.

Relying on the halo of Sino-US co-productions.

Imprint Media, which had no productions, became a high-end film and television star in the blink of an eye. It was enthusiastically sought after by the market and its market value once reached 500 billion.

The money was all gone, and the company went bankrupt and delisted after 24 years...

Since 02, the country has begun to provide policy support for the cultural industry.

Todai is so huge!
Every policy release and implementation must be piloted.

If the pilot project is successful, we will release a plan to attract people to join the market, and then issue "Guiding Opinions" to guide the market.

Whether it will actually be implemented will depend on market reaction, and it will usually take one or two years before a notice is issued.

For example, finance + movies have the greatest and most far-reaching impact on domestic entertainment.

The origin of this policy can be traced back to the pilot program that began with the listing of Huayi and Bona.

The real planning started in 09.

In September 2009, the State Council promulgated the “Plan for the Revitalization of the Cultural Industry”;
In 2010, the China Banking Regulatory Commission, the China Securities Regulatory Commission and the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television jointly issued the "Guiding Opinions on Financial Expenditure for the Revitalization and Development and Prosperity of the Cultural Industry" with nine ministries and commissions, and began to support the development of the cultural industry from top to bottom.

It was not until 2014 that the state gave the green light to film and television stocks to go public, and seven departments jointly issued the "Notice on Several Economic Policies to Support the Development of the Film Industry".
The implementation of financial support policies for the film industry is to enable domestic films to compete with the powerful Hollywood and to have sufficient funds to promote the industrialization of the film industry.

This is what the policy says...but in reality it is all about making money and cutting leeks.

The false reporting of investment in the film and television industry is just a small matter, and the higher-ups are too lazy to care.

Financial operations are the biggest cancer in the domestic entertainment industry.

This cancer finally ended when Cui Xiao reported Fan Binbin's yin-yang contract under his real name, triggering a cold winter for the film and television industry.

Ant’s IPO caused such a big stir that Jack Ma finally returned to China and Yan Zi was also unblocked.

But Fan Binbin tsls was blocked.

The real reason is not simply tsls.

Before Xiao Cui reported it with his real name.

In early 2016, the first inspection team conducted a special inspection of the General Administration.

In the notification on the rectification, it was also required to further rectify the "miracle dramas" and "shock dramas" about the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, and to curb the problems of "sky-high" pay and celebrities showing off their wealth.

In 2017, the "Tokyo Film Industry Promotion Law" was officially implemented, which not only established "rules" in terms of film creation and protection, artist behavior norms, etc., but also increased supervision and penalties on box office.

Fan Binbin just happened to run into the crosshairs of the policy...

This luck is incredible!
Li Mingyang picked out what he could say and gave Wu Zhikui a film finance lesson.

Wu Zhikui was a little confused. "According to what you said, this is the general policy from above, so we can't attack it at all. The only listed film companies in the mainland are Huayi and Guangguang!"

"I've said so much, how come you don't understand anything? Guangguang is a pilot project of finance + film! The box office of Weathering With You directly affects the stock price!"

Wu Zhikui nodded.

"I can't snipe Huayi, but I can snipe myself!"

"How to snipe?" Wu Zhikui was confused again.

Li Mingyang rolled his eyes and was too lazy to say anything.

Direct operation!

As soon as the market opened the next day, Li Mingyang acted on his own will and, against all odds, sold all the stocks held by him, Wang Changtian and Gong Yu.

Li Mingyang and Wang Changtian invested a total of more than 121 million yuan in the stock market, with an average share price of yuan per share.

After a morning of selling, the net profit was almost 6 million.

Although they made money, Gong Yu and Wang Changtian both looked unhappy because Guangguang had a very good response in the stock market.

After selling 14 billion worth of stocks, Guangxian still hit the daily limit today!

"Director Li, isn't it too early? It's unwise to start selling when there's no fluctuation in the stock price momentum." Gong Yu, who made more than 6 million, sighed.

"At least I can double my profit!" Wang Changtian said with a tired face.

Li Mingyang didn't say why he was selling it, he just forced it to sell.

The two of them watched Li Mingyang sell himself and no amount of persuasion could stop him.

"Okay, everyone, let's take the money and run. We've all made a lot of money. Don't look so sad and act like you lost hundreds of millions."

After the stocks were sold, Li Mingyang persuaded the two to be more open-minded.

Let it go?

Not to mention Wang Changtian, even Gong Yu, who only invested 10 million, couldn't let it go.

I cursed Li Mingyang to death in my heart.

Just sell yours, don’t sell mine!
Seeing Li Mingyang's indifferent attitude, Gong Yu became very angry and left while smoking a cigar.

Wang Changtian said everything he needed to say. As soon as Gong Yu left, he subconsciously stood up and left the operations room like a zombie.

After the two left, Li Mingyang opened his notebook and directed Wu Zhikui to communicate with those companies that wanted to go public through backdoor listings.

While directing Cao Manman, he spread the news that Li Mingyang and Wang Changtian cleared out their stocks in the secondary market and made a huge profit of 600 million.

The chairman of Guangxian and the second largest individual shareholder sold all his shares.

This is very bad news!
The stock price of Guangxian is bound to fall!

However, a group of bigwigs taught Li Mingyang a vivid lesson.

Even though he and Wang Changtian cleared out their stocks, Guangxian's share price hit the daily limit at opening the next day!
Li Mingyang and Wang Changtian ran away.

Alibaba is here, buy some shares!
The stock price has been hitting the daily limit for five consecutive days, and the market is closed on Saturdays and Sundays.

January 2012, 1, Sunday, the New Year’s Day season begins!
The screening schedule of Weathering With You has reached an astonishing 50%!

Three days of New Year’s Day!

Weathering With You dominates the movie market.

What about Longmen and the Thirteen Women? They were all beaten so badly that they didn't know what to do.

Weathering With You is like an evil dragon, siphoning the box office. In its fourth week of release, it earned a terrifying 2.2 million yuan in box office revenue in just three days during the New Year's Day holiday.

Maoyan and Nuomi offered a special discount of 9.9 yuan for all movies, and Weathering With You, which exploded in the sinking market, became the biggest winner.

This was not done by Li Mingyang and Wang Changtian, but by Zuo Shandiao. Li Mingyang didn't want to play anymore and wanted to destroy the financial + film market.

Instead, it backfired. The bigwigs who were watching the show personally took action and wanted to use Weathering With You to build up the financial market.

At 1 pm on January 4, Weathering With You broke the billion mark!

It became the fourth domestic film in the history of domestic films to break the billion mark!

Over 21 billion in days!

It broke the record for the fastest domestic film to break one billion, becoming the most terrifying money-making behemoth in the history of domestic films!

The mainstream media has made a big fuss about it, comparing Weathering With You to "Beyond The Dark World 3," a landmark film in the domestic film industry.

As the director of Weathering With You, Li Mingyang was quickly surrounded by the mainstream...

Various official activities came one after another, including the General Administration's symposium, the cultural exchange of the Central Propaganda Department, and the development seminar of the Ministry of Culture...

Li Mingyang had no right to refuse at all.

One meeting after another, after the large external meetings, there were also small private meetings.

The higher-ups attach great importance to it, and the leaders I meet are getting more and more powerful...

At one point, Li Mingyang had the illusion that he would be left behind.

It wasn't until he met Boss Zhao at the Chang'an Club that Boss Zhao enlightened him.

This is not a celebration party, it's clearly a farewell party.

"Director Li, there are some things I can finally say now."

Boss Zhao poured Li Mingyang a cup of tea and said slowly, "When Weathering With You resisted high-definition piracy and broke 500 million ahead of schedule, the authorities were already preparing to use Weathering With You as a typical commercial film."

Li Mingyang held the teacup and sighed with a bit of regret.

"You sold the stocks prematurely, offending brokerage firms led by CITIC, forcing many people to exit early. Your merits outweigh your faults... Or as Wang Changtian often said, how much money can a movie make at the box office? If you only made one movie a year, everyone would be happy and support you, but if you mass-produced... everyone would wish you dead!"

"With so many people suppressing you, you still managed to produce two unique industrial blockbusters..."

"If you are left alone, and you are the only one standing out, how can others eat?"

"Do you know how the Beijing circle complained to the higher-ups? They said you raised the audience's expectations, the upper limit of special effects for domestic films, and broke the big data of movies. They couldn't do it, so they let you play with it alone."

"You can even say such things!" Li Mingyang said in surprise.

"We are all family, there is nothing we can't say... The financial policy was originally prepared for Huayi next year, and finally given to you as compensation, but you actually want to destroy their plate, and now the brokerage firm wants you to leave too."

"What the hell, the financial policy is still about cutting leeks."

In less than a month, the optical fiber market has increased from over 10 billion to nearly 30 billion.

This is totally inconsistent with the profitability, and this will definitely cause an uproar.

"It's not your money that's being cut." Boss Zhao picked up the teacup and took a sip, then said lightly.

Li Mingyang was quite surprised by Boss Zhao's nonchalant look, "You didn't buy it?"

"I don't speculate in stocks... You've been tossed around for almost a year, but you still don't understand. This is the general trend. What if the general trend changes? Born because of policies, it will be destroyed by policies sooner or later... Working hard on content is indeed a bit out of place, but it doesn't mean that no one will appreciate it or support it."

"Thank you for saying so much to me."

"You're welcome. I'm doing this for myself. The better off you are, the more valuable our contract will be." Boss Zhao put down his cup, picked up the teapot on the stove and poured himself another cup of tea. "Actually, I came here to see you today."

"what's up?"

"You're not going to Hollywood?"

"How is that possible? The contract with China Film Group has already been signed. I can't not go even if I want to."

Boss Zhao chuckled, "He's counting on you to come back and continue to improve his political achievements. How could he let you lose money... Are you going to Korea?"

Li Mingyang frowned slightly. Wang Changtian and Zhang Zhao both doubted that he would not go to Hollywood obediently.

But no one knew where he was going.

I didn’t expect that Boss Zhao actually guessed it.

"I went to Korea a while ago, and I met someone there. She wanted to cooperate with you, but she didn't have any bargaining chips, so she wanted to talk to you through me."

Boss Zhao took out a document from his bag and handed it to Li Mingyang, saying, "I was quite puzzled at first. How could you go there when you are so young? I didn't expect that she showed me this document and found out that you have taken root there."

Li Mingyang took the document and glanced at it roughly. It had completely exposed all his businesses in Korea!
"I think I did it quite covertly. Who is so capable?" Li Mingyang asked.

"CJ's Lee Mi-jin."

"She is unreliable. She sent a few scumbags to talk to me. It's really disrespectful to me. It's boring."

"Are you willing to talk to her face to face?" Boss Zhao asked directly.

Li Mingyang thought about it, put the teacup to his mouth, the tea had cooled down, so he poured it into the trash can, picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of hot tea.

"Do you think I should talk to her?" Li Mingyang asked back.

"Yes, if you want to develop in Korea, the resources she has are beyond your imagination."

"Kakao is also okay." said Li Mingyang.

"Kakao doesn't have enough foundation. In fact, if you want to go to Korea, the best partner is Samsung. If you don't choose Samsung, then CJ and Lotte are left."

"Which entertainment company does Samsung control?" Li Mingyang asked.

"Samsung doesn't control it because there's no need. Samsung is mainly the TV station SBS. You went to Korea and didn't even understand this?"

"There's no time for that."

Boss Zhao smiled, feeling that Li Mingyang was just doing whatever he wanted.

However, since Li Mingyang wanted to develop in Korea, and she was entrusted by someone, she patiently introduced Korean entertainment to Li Mingyang.

Korean entertainment is not big, it is very small, and there are chaebols behind it.

If you want to make a movie, don't worry about the mess in Korean entertainment. Just choose one of the four major film companies.

No matter where you are, the film industry is the pinnacle of the entertainment industry.

The stick is no exception.

The Korean film industry is monopolized by four major companies: CJ, Lotte, Showbox, and New.

CJ has the most complete industrial chain and is also the largest. If you want to make a movie, you can’t go wrong with CJ.

Li Mingyang understood what Boss Zhao said. He had been targeting CJ from the beginning, but Li Meijin was not sincere!

That's why he chose Lao Jin.

"Forget it. I won't make it difficult for you. Just meet once. Meet wherever and when."

"Right now, she's next door."

"..."

A few minutes later, under the guidance of Boss Zhao, Li Mingyang met the godmother of Korean Wave, Li Meijin and her group.

The two sides communicated for more than ten minutes.

Li Mei Jin was so sincere that CJ did not interfere with his creation, provided funding for filming, and gave him full support. Except for the distribution and screening rights of the film, Li Mei Jin gave him all the copyrights.

And there is no gambling agreement.

There was no hint of capital in Li Meijin's negotiations; they were all sincere, so sincere that it was a little naive, but it was all written in black and white.

The conditions are so good that it makes people worried.

Seeing that Li Mingyang didn't say anything, Li Meijin asked the translator to ask if Li Mingyang had any other requests.

Li Mingyang actually didn’t have any requirements, he gave everything...all the copyrights that could be obtained were obtained.

"What about Kakao? I have already discussed it with them."

After the translation was finished, Li Meijin smiled kindly and said, "CJ and Kakao have never cooperated before. As long as Director Li agrees, CJ and Kakao will cooperate in the future."

Li Mingyang heard this answer.

I can't help but sigh that real chaebols and real princesses are so powerful.

I don't need your consent, just my consent is enough!
