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

Chapter 521 Have you met your godfather?

Sun Li thought about it for a while and then went to the lounge on the top floor to drink with Liu Yifei.

After drinking for a while, she couldn't stand it anymore.

Liu Yifei's face was flushed from drinking, but she was conscious and didn't look drunk at all.

"Sissi, how is your drinking tolerance?"

"Three or four bottles of this red wine is fine. The most I've ever drunk is five bottles."

"I can't believe you can drink two kilograms of liquor?"

"About two bottles."

"Bring me something to eat. I can't drink it all at once." Sun Li called the waiter over and ordered a lot of barbecue.

"My queen, aren't you afraid of getting fat...let's have barbecue tonight." Liu Yifei licked her lips. She wanted to eat but was afraid of getting fat.

"Why not just exercise more? Get up earlier in the morning and go for a run. It won't be so easy to gain weight." Sun Li said casually.

"All right……"

Ten minutes later, the table was filled with barbecue. There were many plates, but not much barbecue.

Seeing that Sun Li was eating with great relish, Liu Yifei took a small bite of a skewer of grilled eels. She was immediately attracted by the chewy texture and aroma of the eels and couldn't stop eating.

"You seem to be eating deliciously!" Li Mingyang came to Liu Yifei and said with a smile.

"Would you like to eat something?" Liu Yifei patted the chair next to her.

"I've eaten." Li Mingyang pulled out a chair and sat down. "Have you met your godfather?"

puff!
Sun Li couldn't hold it in and the wine sprayed out, and she kept coughing.

Liu Yifei's clear eyes suddenly became cloudy and complicated, as if she had become a different person.

"Yes... He came to see my mother." Liu Yifei said after taking a sip of red wine.

"Then your mother went to find your Wang Changtian, and Wang Changtian found me. This matter is related to Yinghuang. Go back and tell your mother to stop interfering."

After Li Mingyang finished speaking, he stood up and left.

After a while, Liu Xiaoli came up and asked Liu Yifei as soon as she saw her, "Did Director Li come up? Did he say anything?"

"He asked me if I had ever met the godfather, and told you not to get involved."

"The construction of Yinghuang has been suspended again. Many people have invested money in it. Director Li has made a big mess this time."

"You voted too?" Liu Yifei suddenly asked.

Liu Xiaoli was speechless for a moment and glanced at Sun Li.

Sun Li had wanted to leave a long time ago, so she stood up and said with a smile, "I'm a little sleepy, I'm leaving first."

"Sister Li, let's get a room and drink and chat!" Liu Yifei said, holding Sun Li's hand.

"Next time, next time." Sun Li glanced at the serious mother Liu, refused with a smile, and walked very fast, as if she was running.

As Sun Li walked to the elevator hall, the elevator in front of her opened, and Wang Changtian and Deng Chao walked out of the elevator.

Wang Changtian nodded to Sun Li, then adjusted his glasses and walked towards Liu Xiaoli and her daughter.

Sun Li looked at Deng Chao strangely. Deng Chao was confused. He spread his hands and shrank his neck. He had no idea what was going on.

"You are useless, you only know how to sleep!"

"I'll go and listen to the situation first and tell you later."

Sun Li rolled her eyes, ignored Deng Chao, walked into the elevator, took out her phone and started browsing her own group chat.

"My goodness, Li Mingyang actually invited Xiaomi here. Boss Lei is too willful!"

Xiaomi, which is in the mobile phone industry, is grabbing land and setting up a research and development center. This... is simply a dimensionality reduction attack!
……

A businessman is always a businessman.

Even though Li Mingyang and Lei Jun have a good relationship, and even though he took the initiative to endorse Xiaomi mobile phones.

Lei Jun still didn't want to leave.

It was not until he proposed to sell his shares in Bilibili that Lei Jun became interested and called Chen Rui over.

Chen Rui is very interested in Bilibili.

The three of them discussed it for a whole morning, and finally Chen Rui paid 40 million to buy % of Bilibili's shares.

Bilibili is very valuable, but without the promotion of Chen Rui and the help of Lei Jun behind Chen Rui, it would be difficult for it to break through the capital market.

Moreover, Bilibili is also involved with Penguin, Alibaba, Sony and SMG.

Each of these four directions is a mountain.

Indispensable.

FBTV is going to compete with iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video in South Korea, and Li Mingyang has no time to operate Bilibili. Rather than being delayed, it is better to return it to Chen Rui.

Let's also bring the light in.

As a streaming media, the biggest difference between Bilibili and iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video is that it focuses on the two-dimensional world, with animation, comics and games as its core.

The land of Xixi Science and Technology Island is really Yinghuang’s Achilles’ heel.

The resumption of construction on this land involves more people and it is more complicated than before.

Xiaomi's fate was like poking an ant's nest, and a lot of people jumped out...

……

Li Mingyang took a look at the current situation and decided to attack again. He probably wouldn't be able to stop Yinghuang.

United Front value.

He didn't expect Xiaomi to be able to stop him and just delay until the end of the Academy Awards, and then everything would be fine.

At noon on February 2012, 2, the Academy Awards Organizing Committee announced the nomination list at the Hong Kong Cultural Center.

Your name is on the list.

Li Mingyang and Guangguang withdrew, but China Film still reported your name.

Is Zuoshandiao lacking confidence? Or is he confident of victory?
Li Mingyang was betting on his lack of confidence.

The favorable situation of Let the Bullets Fly is the result of his competition and coercion from many sides.

He voluntarily withdrew... Suspense!

What he was betting on was that Let the Bullets Fly would be the same as in his previous life, and Jiang Wen would become the most embarrassing clown in the history of the Academy Awards.

Anyway, there is Bernard to take the blame.

Bernard is the big winner of this year's Academy Awards.

A Simple Life, Flying Swords of Dragon Gate and Overheard 2 are all films invested by Bernard.

"Since I'm shortlisted, I'll go watch the show then..." Li Mingyang stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at Nanshan Park in the distance.

After drinking half a bottle of red wine, Wang Changtian knocked on the door.

"You really know how to give me a difficult problem." Wang Changtian shook his head and sighed as he entered the door.

"Deng Chao disagrees?"

Attacking Yinghuang directly is like making a warning to the enemy.

Letting Deng Chao quit Running Man would destroy the show's luck.

Running Man is really awesome. He doesn’t want to meet the complete Running Man in Korea.

Deng Chao has started to act funny. The shameless funny Deng Chao is the top among the top variety show stars. He can carry an entire national variety show by himself.

"His penalty for breach of contract is a bit high, he has to pay more than 100 million." Wang Changtian sat on the sofa, unscrewed the thermos cup, looked at Li Mingyang's disappointed expression, and smiled knowingly, "Deng Chao is unwilling to withdraw, but Xiao Liu is willing to withdraw."

"Liu Yifei?"

"Well, her penalty is thirty-six million."

"Why is it so low..."

"The contracts are different. Deng Chao signed a package, while she signed for each season. As long as you win the lawsuit against Huace, you can basically make up for the loss of the liquidated damages."

If you let others withdraw, you will naturally have to pay them a penalty.

It seems to be a better result if Deng Chao does not retreat and Liu Yifei retreats.

"Tell me, what did she ask for?" Li Mingyang sat down opposite Wang Changtian and asked.

"Did you promise to give her a movie, and the leading role?"

"I promised, but I didn't say when."

"I think so... Her request is that you fulfill your promise as soon as possible."

"So simple?" Li Mingyang handed Wang Changtian a glass of red wine.

Wang Changtian waved his hand and raised his teacup. "You are very skilled at playing tricks in the entertainment industry, but you are always serious about movies. She believes that you will be responsible for your movies... But I have a suggestion. Sometimes, match-fixing is more in line with interests."

"Are you giving up now?"

Li Mingyang flew back to Korea from China and was picked up by Wang Changtian. The two returned to the Shilla Hotel together.

At the hotel entrance, the two saw Chen Jinfa.

Wang Changtian didn't react much at the time and was still very talkative, but he suddenly became less interested in the unicorn-level company B.

"These famous stars are all too complicated. Baibin is a good example. Even after becoming the general manager of Huabu Video, he was still not satisfied. He is a scoundrel with no integrity at all..." Wang Changtian took off his glasses and said with a sigh.

"So you gave up on her?" Li Mingyang asked.

"If you cultivate something that suits your heart better, there will be people who know how to be grateful."

"For example, Liu Yan?" "Liu Yan... Although Xie Lan is useless and not cut out to be a star, she is much more open-minded than Liu Yan... I can't say I'll give up on her, and there's no better choice right now."

There is no better choice...

It's you who don't want to.

Li Mingyang was too lazy to make it clear.

……

The next day, bouquet technology.

Li Mingyang, Zhang Wei and Lao Wu began to integrate the resources of Huahua Entertainment and Bangzi.

After finishing filming New World in Korea, I worked with CJ's screenwriter team on the script of July and Ansheng.

Li Mingyang felt that the Korean team behind the scenes was very rudimentary, and the production of costumes and props was not as good as that of Huahua Entertainment.

But the works produced by Huashu Entertainment are too bad.

The reason why Korean makeshift teams can create excellent film and television works at the lowest price.

Two words: opportunity!

Korean entertainment is almost at a saturation stage. Every opportunity is important. Even if you reach the top, you cannot slack off and must work harder.

Otherwise, failure means game over!

This is different from the exaggerated small crews in China that have a few hundred people, medium-sized crews that have thousands of people, large crews that have several thousand people, and super-large crews that have tens of thousands of people.

On the Korean side, the small crew has only a dozen people, and they strictly control the budget and save wherever possible.

All I can say is that the domestic environment is too good, and the studio of Huahua Entertainment actually thinks that a budget of six million is low.

In Korea, you can find an excellent team with proven achievements when shooting a TV series with just 6 million RMB.

Of course, the premise is that others are sincere in doing it.

FBTV mainly focuses on Korean TV shows and movies. Unless there are big-name stars, domestic TV shows and movies are no different from regular ones.

A budget of three million is very reasonable.

Of course, the main purpose of doing this is to slim down Huahua Entertainment and make advance preparations for future cooperation between China and South Korea.

"This means almost half of the people will be fired...is that enough?" Old Wu advised, looking at the densely packed list of dismissal names.

"It is not shameful to admit failure. The worst thing is to go down the same path to the end, and we have to streamline."

"I think they are still okay, better than we were back then..."

"You're still doing well in your old ways?" Li Mingyang waved his hand. "You didn't have much achievements back then, but you were all thinking about how to shoot and how to improve. This batch of people basically don't think about technology, they only think about making money."

“Big environmental issues…”

“So we need an internal loop!”

"But... I think some things are unavoidable. Internal circulation is basically impossible. Once someone stands out, he will be poached. Even the Koreans cannot avoid this problem."

"Those who want to leave will leave anyway, and those who don't want to leave will stay. Don't worry about what others think. We just need to do what we should do."

"Didn't Kakao say it was going to bring FBTV to Korea? Should we wait and see? Only when streaming and content creation are in the same region can we get the most authentic feedback. Dramas from the University of Tokyo may not be well received in Korea."

Li Mingyang and Wu Zhikui were having a heated discussion, and Zhang Wei just listened without expressing any opinions.

Streaming media is a new form of playback platform that combines content creation and the Internet. There are hundreds of streaming media platforms around the world, but not many of them can actually survive.

First, copyright prices have been rising.

The second is the difficulty in self-control.

The third is profit anxiety, which is not about not making money, but about instability.

Zhang Wei thinks that investing in a production company is a good way to solve the problem once and for all, but Li Mingyang disagrees.

So she didn't want to offer any suggestions and would wait until Li Mingyang got a bloody head before raising any.

At around 2:00 p.m., Wu Zhikui and went to the meeting next door.

Li Mingyang and Zhang Wei came to the secret room, sat on the sofa, drank, and observed the conference room opposite through the two-way mirror.

Li Mingyang thought this secret room was great.

But it's such a waste to use it for draft picks.

So I asked a decoration company to convert the dance studio opposite into a conference room.

Halfway through the meeting, when Zhang Wei learned that each person in the meeting room represented a company, she was surprised and asked, "You acquired more than 80 companies?"

"Ah."

"how much did you spend?"

"More than 50 billion won."

"There are problems with the operation of Huashu Entertainment, but there is no need to abandon it."

“Advance on two fronts, and only the fittest will survive.”

Li Mingyang did not tell Zhang Wei the truth, but gave her an explanation that she could understand.

To be honest, if he hadn't been there before, he wouldn't have known that iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video were so easy to cheat...

The TV series "Three Women, One Drama", with Zheng Dalong as the artistic director and Liu Kaiwei and Jiang Yiyan as the male and female protagonists, and advertised as a "modern version of The Legend of Zhen Huan", was suspended after more than half a month because the producer ran away.

The producer defaulted on all salaries and various fees for the entire crew. The producer, legal representative, directors and finance staff all disappeared, causing the crew to shut down and more than 400 crew members stranded in Longxi.

The crew of the drama "Jianghuai Still Remains" directed by director Hu Mei was forced to stop work due to the escape of the "debt-ridden" chief producer Cao Wen.

"The Banquet", invested by Star Media and directed by Lu Sang, was delayed again and again due to the time-consuming and costly set-up, and additional investment was continued after half a year of filming.

The director and actors of "The Guillotines" released at the same time changed frequently. The director changed from Peter Chan to Derek Chan and finally to Andrew Lau. The cast was also delayed in being finalized, and millions were spent on actor training.

Youku invested hundreds of millions of dollars in this routine, and this routine is a real routine, starring Ming Dao, Xie Tianhua, Zheng Jiaying, etc.
, and then halfway through the filming, the producer ran away, leaving him defrauded of more than 60 million yuan.

The world is dangerous!
Changing protagonists, directors resigning, and producers running away have become commonplace in the domestic entertainment industry.

Even if the chief producer is from iQiyi, Youku or Tencent Video, they cannot avoid being cheated and embezzled.

Those who can shoot a drama completely are considered to have professional ethics... Many crews and producers run away, leaving behind a lot of materials that no one can understand, and they don’t even know how to reshoot them.

Domestic entertainment companies may not know how to make films, but they are very skilled at taking bribes and running away with donations.

The few remaining directors.

Sometimes you will doubt whether these directors are idiots. They charge 5000 yuan for a Smurf and ask for 500 yuan in kickbacks. The effect is so bad that it insults the audience's IQ.

It was actually released openly and even had the nerve to go on a roadshow.

How shameless is this!
In fact, after so many years, China still hasn’t been able to make a good family movie.

At around six o'clock in the evening, Lao Wu's meeting ended.

Ah Huo and Xiao Ye also arrived, and Li Mingyang began to re-plan the Huoman Studio.

The animation production is on hold, so I'll just draw the comics first...

Li Mingyang thought that making animation in Korea was simple... animation not only costs money, but also costs people.

Korean web comics have swept the world, but animation is seriously lagging behind. There is no industrial assembly line, there is a shortage of talent, and the cost is high.

Talents are all working on money-making games...

Xiao Ri Zi is a comic kingdom with a vertical industrialized system and an internal circulation system for cultivating the entire population. It has abundant resources for animation production and is very cost-effective.

Animated films are a thankless task in Korea and are even more backward than in China.

Li Mingyang gave up on making animated films.

No time, no energy, and most importantly, not enough money.

Ah Huo and Xiao Ye fully agreed with Li Mingyang's decision. The comics drawers in Korea are even worse than them.

They were expected to lead this group of new Koreans to make animations, and the two of them were tortured to death.

Especially in the computer coloring stage, which also involves post-production special effects, they all had to learn it all from scratch...

Both of them are still figuring out whether to do 2D animation or 3D animation.

Consider the cost, the effect, and the technique.

It's like the journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures, every step is difficult and there are problems everywhere.

Just when Ah Huo and Xiao Ye breathed a sigh of relief, Li Mingyang announced that the several special effects companies managed by Lao Wu would be merged with Huoma Studio, and Ah Huo would be in charge of it.

Ah Huo and Xiao Ye were both confused.

"Ah, why is it merged? What is Xiaoye doing? I can't manage so many people!" Ah Huo said.

"Then what should I do?" Xiao Ye said.

Li Mingyang first scolded Ah Huo and Xiao Ye, as the two of them had not yet met the recruitment standards for Korean employees for Huoman Studio.

What Zhang Wei said is very true. The company still needs to have revenue and profit so that employees can see the financial prospects and be more motivated.

Among all of Li Mingyang's industries in Korea, except for FBTV, the ones with the best revenue are the six special effects companies managed by Lao Wu.

Five of them were acquired last year, and one was formerly Mingyang’s special effects department, with a total of more than 500 employees.

Because of the explosive special effects performance of Weathering With You, special effects companies have no worries about business and are overwhelmed with work.

As for Huoman Studio, he can support it by making movies alone, but its revenue is very poor.

The special effects don't require any human intervention, and are basically communicated online.

The special effects department and the Huoman Studio were merged not to work in the same place, but were merged in name only. However, with this operation, the Korean employees of the Huoman Studio met the standards in one go.
