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

Chapter 514: The chaos is in chaos, and order is restored

Although the lunch box is small, it is a big business.

The lunch boxes on the crew are not something that ordinary people can get, and the director has no right to question them.

Only investors have the right to decide who will prepare lunch boxes for the crew!

"Huahua Entertainment has more than a dozen crews, with a total of more than 25 people. Three meals a day cost 750 yuan, which is yuan a day, and million yuan a month!" Yang Mi sighed heavily, "Zeng Jia has visited those crews. Many of them have problems. You'd better be careful, or the crew will run away before the show is finished."

"You mean I was set up?"

"Yes. One or two of them were accidents, but when you put these things together, it's deliberate. You've made a lot of money over the years, but can you stand such a scam?"

The answer is yes.

Can't stand it...

"What you said makes sense, but how can you be sure that Yinghuang's cancellation of Yinghuang Film and Television Academy has anything to do with Bai Bin? How can she make money by cheating me? Where does she get the influence to make the Hong Kong and Beijing circles shake hands and make peace?"

"The problem must be with Cao Lin. Zeng Jia can't find anything about this person... Isn't this suspicious?"

Mimi doesn't have solid evidence, but she has a clear chain of suspicion, and she is worthy of being a policeman's daughter.

Li Mingyang took out his cell phone, called Wang Changtian, and told him everything Mimi had said.

Wang Changtian was silent for a while. He had many doubts, but he couldn't figure out the relationship between them.

He wanted to intervene and investigate it himself.

The investigation took two days.

The truth behind Yinghuang's abandonment of the Film and Television Academy also came to light.

There are many bigwigs in Hong Kong who want to do the film and finance business through mainland film and television companies.

……

Backdoor listing is just the most obvious operation. In fact, there are some deep and very secretive capital operations.

In order to make him understand, Wang Changtian directly used Li Dabai and Sun Hai as examples.

Sun Hai is the leader of a gang involved in organized crime.

He mainly ran some erotic places such as nightclubs and night clubs. After making his first pot of gold, he gradually got to know some powerful people.

Naturally, like many of my domestic peers, I invested in real estate and cooperated with those noble people, mainly helping them do the dirty work that they were not comfortable doing.

At the beginning, it was naturally smooth and profitable, but later on, the management became more and more strict, and it was easy to get into trouble. So slowly, I began to transform, and then I suddenly transformed myself into a film and television producer, which is actually a glove.

This guy also did another business, that of a middleman. He used some means to get certain wealthy businessmen to marry female celebrities, and then transferred or laundered their wealth.

To put it simply, some wealthy Chinese businessmen who appeared out of nowhere suddenly married a well-known actress, showed off their wealth and spent money like crazy, and then transferred a large amount of assets to China.

In fact, many of these wealthy people have fake identities and the source of their funds is very questionable, but because they are involved in some film and television dramas and popular actresses, it is easy for them to make money for nothing.

The most representative of them is Wang Zhicai, an Australian Chinese who is said to have a net worth of over 10 billion. Before he married Princess Qing Wang Yan, who would have known that he is now a famous real estate tycoon in BJ and that Wang Shuo, one of the Four Young Masters of Beijing, is his son. What a mystery behind this.

This guy was Zhou Xun’s ex-boyfriend. At the beginning of last year, he got into trouble and the police searched his house, during which they found hundreds of nude photos of Zhou Xun.

Starting from scratch and becoming a big shot in the film industry, Wang Changtian knows more and is more meticulous than Li Mingyang.

It was a very complicated matter, but Wang Changtian brought it to light in a concise and comprehensive manner.

And Cao Lin is a person similar to Sun Hai.

Hong Kong is the country's export port, so... just like a person's name, the first stop when running away is Hong Kong.

"So this is the tacit understanding between the Beijing and Hong Kong circles?"

"This is the collective interest of the Hong Kong and Beijing communities. The two Huayi brothers are not that simple, and Yinghuang is even more complicated... You should kick Bai Bin out immediately. Losing money on a drama is one thing, and being cheated is another. At least you can gain experience if you lose money."

“Why do I feel like everything changes when I go abroad?”

"It's not that they've changed, but they're all waiting for you to leave... My senior brother is still one step ahead. LeEco has already hired Zhang Yimou and is actively selling LeEco shares in the industry. The price is really tempting, like giving away money for free. He won't sell me a penny. What a jerk."

"..."

"By the way, are you really planning to train Jing Tian to be a director?"

"Of course!"

"Be careful, you might lose both the lady and the army."

"You'd better be careful not to lose both your wife and your army. Did you get the contract for the female Lu Bu? I didn't! Haha!"

"..."

……

Li Mingyang sat at the dining table, flipping through the information sent by Wang Changtian. The more he read, the more he felt he was losing money!
"It was such a relief to leave. Damn it, I should have asked them for travel expenses!"

The domestic entertainment industry is going crazy right now, not to mention the super players led by BAT.

Just LeTV itself has brought so much money to the domestic entertainment industry.

In addition, the combination of finance and movies brings about various hidden lines, such as Gutian Music.

It is no exaggeration to say that there is gold everywhere.

And these people were waiting for him to leave…As soon as he left, they all moved impatiently.

The collapse of Guangguang was caused by LeTV...

The light was too dazzling, making it impossible for LeTV to shine. Jia had long been annoyed by the light.

Lao Jia brought in a huge amount of capital and is now like a big boss, calling the shots in the domestic entertainment industry. Everyone has to give him some face.

Guangxian’s share price plummeted, while Huayi’s share price only rose by less than 10%.

LeTV has quietly risen by 30% in the past month!

After reading the information, Li Mingyang called Wang Changtian.

In Wang Changtian's words, it was fortunate that he ran fast at the time, otherwise he would not have dared to take 1 billion to stabilize the share price of Guangxian.

Wang Changtian is quite optimistic. If he buys it at a low price, it will definitely appreciate in value in the future.

I also discussed with Li Mingyang about sharing the profits.

But Li Mingyang is not so optimistic.

Stocks... once they fall, it's very difficult to go back up again.

In 2008, the Shanghai Composite Index fell from 6124.04 points to 1664.93 points, a drop of 63%.

In August 2009, the Shanghai Composite Index rose to 08 points.

After that, it kept falling, falling to 2319.74 points.

Many people thought this was the lowest point and started to enter the market, but they didn’t know that this was not the lowest point.

It finally fell to more than 1800 points.

In his previous life, he worked at Penguin Video, and many of his colleagues were tricked and suffered heavy losses during this period.

Many people have given up stock trading.

The biggest speculators in film and television stocks should be Huayi and LeTV. The two companies basically operate the same business, using celebrity shareholders to paint a rosy picture.

It’s essentially storytelling.

In this regard, the "sincere" Lao Jia is an expert!
If Guangxian’s stock price wants to go up, it still has to rely on mergers and acquisitions and restructuring and tell stories to capital.

"Mr. Wang, are you interested in swallowing the sugar man?" Li Mingyang said with a smile.

"The sugar man... Huace can't even swallow it. We don't stand a chance."

"The equity structure of Sugar Man is very simple, as long as..."

"It's useless. Cai Yinong's desire to control the sugar man is too strong. Once her bottom line is crossed, she would rather not play."

"Li Guoli owns almost half of Tangren's shares." Li Mingyang set his sights on Tangren's other major shareholder.

"In fact, the biggest problem with Tangren is Li Guoli's shares. Cai Yinong is willing to share her shares with Hu Ge and Liu Shishi, but Li Guoli doesn't want to share even a penny."

"So the other directors of Sugar Man don't have any shares? There must be equity incentives!"

"As for equity incentives, it depends on whether the boss agrees or not... Li Guoli is unwilling to give up his shares, and other directors are very resentful. It seems that they heard that they will be given shares after the listing, but who knows? Anyway, Cai Yinong will not go public this year, so she can only wait to be demolished by Huace!"

Wang Changtian took a sip of tea and told everything about the relationship between Tang Ren and Huace.

The sugar man holds the four young actresses Liu Shishi and the four young actors Hu Ge.

There is also the behind-the-scenes of the most advanced ancient costume drama in the domestic entertainment industry.

But because of the issue of listed shares, Tangren was in chaos. Li Guoli owned half of Tangren's shares back then, but that is definitely not the case now.

Because Wasu, Zhejiang Daily and Hangzhou Xinxian bought shares in Tangren and now own more than 20% of the shares.

Wang Changtian suspected that most of these shares came from Li Guoli.

In addition to the internal shareholding issue, there are also TV drama companies such as Ciwen Media, Huace, New Classics, Perfect World, and Huanrui watching from the outside.

Huace even wants to demolish Sugar Man’s house.

Now Cai Yinong is dissatisfied with everyone and has reached the point of being paranoid.

"How pitiful... But, isn't this a good opportunity to eat the sugar man?" Li Mingyang continued to instigate.

"If we force him to eat it, what will happen if Cai Yinong quits? The reason why the sugar man is in trouble is because he makes too much money."

"What do you think about letting Liu Shishi and Hu Ge force the issue?"

"Not so good. Cai Yinong has been in the business for so many years. How could a few celebrities make her compromise? She must have a backup plan. Boss Zhao is right. She can just snatch the director and the celebrity. Huace lacks everything except money."

Li Mingyang didn't expect that Guangguang was unwilling to eat the candy man.

In fact, Light Media can be regarded as a big player in the television industry. First, Huanrui Century went public, and then New Classics Media was sold to Penguin.

After hanging up the phone, Li Mingyang thought for a long time and finally figured out the crux of the problem.

Most of Guangxian’s shares are concentrated in Wang Changtian’s hands. Seeing that the company can make money, and being suppressed by the Beijing and Hong Kong circles and LeTV, Wang Changtian stopped pledging expansion and shrunk his forces to make steady money...

If you can make money safely, who would go to the bank to borrow money and work for the bank!
Although Li Mingyang felt that now was a good opportunity to eat the sugar man, Wang Changtian and Boss Zhao both gave up. This forced Li Mingyang to re-examine the sugar man.

In the 90s, Sugar Man was as famous as TVB and Zhou Yi.

TVB and Zhouyi are on the decline and exist in name only.

Only Tang Ren became more and more courageous, sweeping the mainland TV circle with ancient puppet dramas.

Today's sugar man is still the overlord of the TV circle...

Although a lot of things happened later, they haven't happened yet. Let's wait for Boss Zhao to demolish the house first...

The most urgent task is to solve the problem of bouquet entertainment.

Li Mingyang was thinking about what to do when Yang Mi came running down the stairs.

"Mingyang, you are going to swallow the candy man!" Yang Mi said in surprise.

"You need to change your bad habit of sneaking around and eavesdropping," Li Mingyang teased.

"Humph, you knew I was here, but you still called me in the restaurant, didn't you just want me to know?" Yang Mi said excitedly: "Tangren is good, it can make Shishi and Hu Ge rebel! Tangren is counting on them to make money now."

"..."

"Why didn't you react? Are you worried that Shishi and Hu Ge would not agree? You're overthinking it. Hu Ge is a selfish person, a sophisticated egoist. Shishi wanted to run away a long time ago."

Yang Mi's idea coincides with his own.

But Wang Changtian and Boss Zhao would rather tear down the family home than swallow it up. There must be something fishy going on here.

The most amazing thing about Tangren over the years is that every drama can be realized and every one of them can be a success, which is amazing.

Even a strong company like Huayi has had many TV dramas aborted midway.

"The sugar man is not on the market and is not easy to swallow. Let's talk about it later. The most urgent thing now is that there is a problem with my company..." said Li Mingyang.

"If we swallow the candy man, the problem will be solved. Cai Yinong is really good at coordination." Yang Mi put her fists to her face, her little face flushed with excitement.

"It's so difficult for you to swallow an egg. What are you going to swallow? What are you going to swallow? In fact, Huazhu Entertainment is just an empty shell, very bloated. Cai Yinong is a power-hungry person, she won't be inferior to others." Li Mingyang said.

"We can give it a try! How do you know if you don't try? Maybe Cai Yinong will agree. You have movie resources and money, and Tangren has TV drama resources and actors. This is a match made in heaven! Isn't this an obvious win-win situation? Cai Yinong is more dictatorial, but shouldn't he make money if he has it?" Mimi said with infinite longing.

Li Mingyang thought about it and felt that he should indeed give it a try. At least he would know what Cai Yinong’s attitude was.

"I'll call Shishi later and ask her to ask."

"Why do you let Xiaoyaojing ask? Can't I go and ask?" Yang Mi said unhappily.

"Your face says I want to eat you. Cai Yinong told you to get lost when she saw you. Haha!"

Yang Mi rolled her eyes. "If Shishi asks, Cai Yinong will be even more disgusted. The top sister she cultivated with great difficulty is now turning her elbow outward. There's no way she will agree."

If there is no stimulation, how can one know the bottom line? Li Mingyang does not want to play psychological warfare with Cai Yinong and just waste time.

Seeing that Li Mingyang ignored her, Yang Mi's eyes turned seductively and she leaned into Li Mingyang's arms, rubbing and begging him to replace Liu Shishi.

Li Mingyang didn't want to change people, so he coaxed Yang Mi and fooled her for a long time before she temporarily gave up the idea of ​​changing people.

Liu Shishi is at the peak of her popularity right now, with both movies and TV series being successful. If you want to replace her, who would you replace her with?

When it came to Liu Yifei, Yang Mi was even more annoyed.

When it comes to Tang Yan, she has no actual film achievements, so Yang Mi is a little disgusted with her.

After looking around, I found that Shishi was on par with her.

"Mi Mi, is your boyfriend gone?"

"almost."

"It doesn't really matter, why don't we try it now."

"You don't mind the dirt..."

"I don't care. It's all going into your mouth in the end anyway."

"Hate it! If you dare to force me to eat, I will bite you to death!"

The two flirted and went back upstairs.

After some preparations, Yang Mi put on a black lace battle robe and a white gauze of Jing Tian, ​​leaned against the door frame seductively, and waved to Li Mingyang.

The first half is righteous and vivid.

Mimi is so cunning, she left yesterday, fully demonstrating her talent and magical equipment.

The second half is a bit funny because of its twisted ways.

Mimi was just like a child getting an injection. She turned around and crawled forward in fear.

As the saying goes, one drum is as powerful as a tiger.

After going back and forth in the room twice without succeeding, Li Mingyang went to the bed and gave up.

"How about we have a drink and you get me drunk?" Yang Mi suggested.

Come on...with your alcohol tolerance, I don't know how long you will stop drinking.

You drank all the fire out.

"Forget it this time. I'll buy you some equipment later and use it to help you stand up."

"..."

……

The night sky is washed.

Li Mingyang held the ball in both hands and spent the time it takes to drink a cup of milk tea to roughly sort out the key points of Yinghuang Film and Television Academy and how to deal with Huazhu Entertainment in the future.

Then he got out of bed, took a shower, and changed into new clothes.

Mimi lay on the bed, tilted her head and asked in confusion: "It's so late, why are you still going out?"

"There's something I need to take care of."

"Okay, then I'll go to sleep first."

Boo!
Li Mingyang pinched Yang Mi's face and kissed her, then left the master bedroom in a cool manner.

I called Zhang Wei and found out that she was next door.

Li Mingyang came to the villa next door through the secret door and came to the study on the second floor with ease.

Zhang Wei hasn't slept yet. She's counting the accounts...the accounts of Huazhu Technology.

After she finished her calculation, Li Mingyang asked, "How is FBTV doing recently?"

"The good news is that "Legend of Zhen Huan" is selling very well. The bad news is that only "Legend of Zhen Huan" is selling well and making an okay profit. Last month, the revenue was 870 million." Zhang Wei took off her glasses, crossed her fingers, placed them on the table, and said slowly.

"And Kakao 64 points, more than million."

"There are a considerable number of users who follow the dramas, and few of them skip subscriptions. This month's revenue will be even higher." Zhang Wei sighed, "But FBTV is very bad overall. Even though I made the first two episodes of many dramas free, the effect was still minimal. Basically, FBTV users are watching Empresses in the Palace and have no interest in other dramas."

"Many platforms have the copyrights of old dramas, and the diversion is too great..."

"Take a look at this investigation report." Zhang Wei pulled out a very thin document from the files on the table.

Li Mingyang took the document and started reading it.

Zhang Wei continued: "If a domestic TV series doesn't become popular in China, it will basically not make a splash in Korea... Huashu Entertainment's online drama production costs are very low, but the stars are not strong enough to carry the drama, and the production is not sophisticated enough, so they can't make much money in China, and it's even harder here."

Li Mingyang was flipping through the data. The eye-catching red words on each page reminded him that Huazhu Entertainment was losing a lot of money.

The dramas recently produced by Huahua Entertainment are all period costume dramas with more than 20 episodes, with a cost of around six million.

All major domestic video platforms are accepting it, but no one has offered more than 800,000 yuan, just to expand their drama library.

Basically, it costs hundreds of thousands to buy it, and there is no traffic support. Whether it can be seen by users depends purely on fate.

Although it cannot be sold at a high price, the advantage is that there are many platforms. LeTV, Sohu, and Ku6 have not given up. After selling them all, almost half of the cost can be recovered.

To make money, you just have to gamble on whether you can create a small hit.

The result is that there is none, not a single one, and more than a dozen online dramas all lost money.

Li Mingyang was a little hesitant at first, but when he saw that Huahua Entertainment’s online drama deficit was so serious, he decided to go to the market.

He finally made up his mind to let Zhang Wei return to China.

"New World is in post-production, and I don't have anything to do for the time being. You should go back to China and take charge of the overall situation." Li Mingyang said, putting down the documents.

"These studios are basically honed by Mingyang's system of raising insects. It will be useless for me to go back." Zhang Wei shook her head.

"You go back not only to take charge of the overall situation, but also to do more important things."

Li Mingyang simply told the whole story about Bai Bin's connection with Ying Huang, and how he tilted the company's resources towards the Hong Kong circle and enriched himself.

Zhang Wei listened patiently and suddenly said, "I don't understand it at all. Is Bai Bin crazy?"

"I don't know if she's crazy or not, but I won't let her leave easily."

"Do you have backups of her videos?"

"That's useless. Use job embezzlement to trap her."

Zhang Wei shook her head. "Bai Bin has high commercial value, and many people are willing to pay for her. This may be the reason why she is so fearless..."

"I don't care what method you use, just get her, lock her up, and by the way, thoroughly check the financial situation of all the studios."

"Does it have to be me?"

"Of course!"

Of course it's you! You're an expert at cleansing!

You can check the chaotic financial situation of the crew so clearly. No production team that wants to get rich will want to work with you!
As soon as they see it's you, they'll just give up or disappear halfway.

From the director and stars to the extras, no one in the crew likes you!
