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

Chapter 528: The War of Words of the Century, the Scam of the Immortal
"I'll ask Wu Jing for you, but I can't guarantee whether he agrees or not," said Li Mingyang.

"It's OK if you're willing to help. Come on, cheers."

Li Mingyang and Zhen Zhidan drank a bottle of wine, and when the butler came back, Li Mingyang asked the butler to send Zhen Zhidan away.

Before leaving, Zhen Zhidan asked him to have dinner at Shilla Hotel the next night.

After Zhen Zhidan left.

Li Mingyang went back upstairs and asked Jing Tian what she meant. After all, she was a heroine with a special identity! She understood it more intuitively.

"I think... Zhao Wenzhuo did nothing wrong, Zhen Zhidan did nothing wrong, and there didn't seem to be any conflicts between the two... I'm speechless after seeing things like this. It's seriously affected my life. I don't even dare to attend events." Jing Tian tilted his head and said speechlessly.

Li Mingyang touched his nose and thought it was pointless to ask Jing Tian!
"Does Boss Lu know that you are coming to Seoul?"

"knew."

"Call him and I'll ask about the situation."

Lu Zhen seemed to know that he would call him, and without waiting for him to ask, he slowly told him the whole story.

The conflict between Zhao Wenzhuo and Zhen Zhidan was only briefly mentioned without further comment.

Lu Zhen was talking about the origin of his special identity!

Li Mingyang didn't take it seriously at first, but later he was shocked!
This turned out to be a magical scam!

The instigators were Tan Bing and his wife Zhang Jing.

Zhang Jing is the producer of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons 2". She used her job convenience to assist her husband in committing fraud.

Tan Bing's directing skills are close to Bi Zhifei, but he surpasses Jiang Wen in terms of luring actors into joining the crew.

This film project was not originally called Special Identity, but The Ultimate Code.

Tan Bing first promised the role of the male lead to Yang Kun, who had a good relationship with Jackie Chan.

Therefore, Jackie Chan was successfully invited to serve as producer.

He also got Jackie Chan's promise that he would have time to make a cameo appearance, and at the same time he was negotiating with King Yan about the role of the male lead.

Yang Kun was dissatisfied with this and chose to quit.

At the same time, he was unable to meet Prince Yan's requests for changes to the script, which ultimately led to an unpleasant parting of ways between the two parties.

Zhang Jing forged a contract to create the illusion that Zhen Zhidan had joined, and successfully persuaded Jing Tian to join.

Afterwards, the couple used the old trick again and brought Zhen Zhidan into the team in the name of Jackie Chan as the producer, and Zhen Zhidan also recommended Zhao Wenzhuo to join.

In this way, the final code can be filmed, but a scam is a scam after all.

Lu Zhentou has made five or six movies and is no longer a newbie in the industry, but a veteran.

In the face of his various questions and filming plans, Tan Bing basically just fooled around, unable to offer any substantive suggestions, nor could he see any preparations made by the crew.

Lu Zhen withdrew his investment, the project was forced to stop, Jackie Chan also announced his withdrawal, and "Ultimate Decoding" was a failure.

Lu Zhen only questioned Tan Bing, but did not question Zhen Zhidan.

After Zhen Zhidan, Tan Bing's company and Jing Tian's company signed the termination agreement, Lu Zhen and Zhen Zhidan immediately launched the project of Special Identity and re-shot it.

What Zhao Wenzhuo advocated, changing the script and the director, actually refers to the change from "The Ultimate Code" to "Special Identity".

Tan Bing is not good at making movies, but he has a strong ability to fool people and he can fool Zhao Wenzhuo around.

The script of Special Identity was greatly changed. The role of Zhao Wenzhuo changed from one of the two heroes in opposition to a villain, and he started to make trouble after being instigated by Tan Bing.

Zhao Wenzhuo’s idea is very simple, which is to fight for his own interests.

However, Zhen Zhidan, who had the support of investors, would not tolerate him at all. After communication with the crew failed, Zhao Wenzhuo gave the news to a familiar reporter.

The situation got out of control.

When Zhao Wenzhuo joined the crew, Lu Zhen felt that Zhao Wenzhuo was unlucky and a box office poison, so he didn't want him.

But Zhao Wenzhuo was brought into the crew by Zhen Zhidan, and Lu Zhen did not replace him to give face to Zhen Zhidan.

Unexpectedly, because of Zhao Wenzhuo, the project has become a hot topic in the city.

Zhen Zhidan, who resisted the box office, is notorious.

As an investor, Lu Zhen is very worried that his special status may lead to failure before it even hits the screen.

"Director Li, if this continues, the reputation of Special Identity will be ruined before it even starts filming. Can you help get Wu Jing into the crew?" Lu Zhen said anxiously.

Li Mingyang hesitated for a while and asked Lu Zhen how much money he had invested in total.

One question, more than 40 million...

We have to take this photo!

In fact, the operation of the ultimate password is very common in the domestic entertainment industry, and Tan Bing can be said to have succeeded.

It’s just that he lacks the ability, and when he met the knowledgeable Lu Zhen, he was exposed before filming even started.

This war of words is not just a personal grudge between celebrities, but also a microcosm of the chaos in the domestic entertainment film market.

A large amount of hot money has poured into the film market, leading to chaos in the industry, uneven quality of talent, uneven distribution of benefits, and a subsequent deterioration in the film studio environment.

The interests behind every movie are complicated.

As one of the biggest stars in the domestic entertainment industry who can pull off box office success, Zhen Zhidan naturally encountered a lot of mess behind the scenes of the movies.

The special identity is just the beginning, there is also the box office fraud case of Ip Man 3!
A box office fraud led to a fundraising fraud case of more than 400 billion yuan...

"Let me ask you, how much are you going to pay him?"

"You decide. Within 10 million."

"So low..."

"You call the shots, you call the shots, as long as others can come."

Li Mingyang hung up the phone and made a long distance call to Wu Jing.

When Wu Jing heard that he was asked to join the team with a special status, he quickly refused.

"Director Li, please forgive me. I really can't take it." Wu Jing said while sighing, looking very embarrassed.

"We are all old acquaintances, there is nothing wrong with that."

Zhen Zhidan, Wu Jing, and Jing Tian were all regular members of the first season of Running Man and are very familiar to them.

The relationship between Zhen Zhidan and Wu Jing is neither good nor bad. They are not enemies, but just ordinary colleagues.

"Director Li, I just don't have time. I really don't have time."

"The pay is 10 million."

"It's not about money... Director Li, let me be frank with you. Someone is trying to trick Zhen Zhidan on purpose..." Wu Jing hesitated to speak.

"Do you know the inside story?"

"Then I don't know. My senior brother Li Lianjie informed me. I don't know who it was, but he told me to stay out of the spotlight. I'm in Thailand now."

"What does this have to do with the movie? Shoot quietly and wait until the hype is over before releasing it. You're short of money, right? This is a good opportunity!"

No matter how Li Mingyang tried to trick him, Wu was unwilling and wanted to avoid him as much as possible.

Judging from the subtext, Wu Jing must know something, but it's hard to say.

"Director Li, I advise you not to get involved... Zhen Zhidan has been around for so many years and has a wide network of contacts. He is not looking for you simply... He is asking you for help, so you must stand firm on your position." Wu Jing said in a roundabout way.

Li Mingyang understood immediately that the Beijing circle and the Hong Kong circle were fighting.

In fact, everyone has wanted to start a game for a long time, but just couldn't find a reason.

I didn't expect Zhao Wenzhuo to give me such a big gift.

Here comes a classic line: I own 10 houses in BJ. Even if it costs me my acting career, I will fight you to the end and let everyone see your true face.

Mainland Kung Fu superstars fight to the death with Hong Kong Kung Fu superstars!

The public who do not know the truth only see right and wrong!
Behind this is a head-on collision between two major circles!

To be honest, Zhao Ting is stupid!
As a star, the unspoken rule in the entertainment industry is that everyone is happy.

He just flipped the table over. He really thinks he is Jackie Chan or Li Lianjie!

What's more, even Jackie Chan and Li Lianjie wouldn't dare to lift it!

Only he dares to lift it!

Wu Jing was unwilling to get involved, and Li Mingyang didn't want to push him into the fire pit. If he took a tougher attitude, he could also take down Wu Jing.

But I owe you a favor.

Li Mingyang returned to the master bedroom. Jing Tian had just finished taking a shower. She was not wearing any makeup, her whole body was white, and she looked delicate and tempting, which made people very appetizing.

"No, take a shower first. You stink so much. You smell like perfume."

"A little absence is better than a new marriage. You still need to wash again anyway."

……

Jing Tian felt chilled to the bone.

Even after fainting, my legs were still shaking.

……

The moon sets and the sun rises.

Jing Tian woke up slowly, and as soon as she woke up, she kicked Li Mingyang who was sleeping.

Li Mingyang was kicked awake. When he opened his eyes, he saw Jing Tian sitting on the bed in a red pajamas, looking at him angrily.

The abundant fruits look like two big apples.

"Stop for a moment, I believe you are not doing anything wrong... You don't have to prove yourself!" Jing Tian was scared, she had something important to say.

As soon as my husband sees her, he loses all resistance and is out of control.

It goes on and on, there's nothing to discuss.

Jing Tian wiped the corner of his mouth.

"Okay, you talk." Li Mingyang yawned, hugged Jing Tian in his arms, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

"Honey, how are your movie preparations going?" Jing Tian asked with her big watery eyes.

“Basically, we can shoot at any time.”

"That's great, let's shoot tomorrow. I want to learn from you how to be a director!"

He had already decided which of the two heroines to give the role to.

There are many groups, and for idols, we use Yoona and Seohyun, Krystal and Jessica.

Actresses, there are Kim Ji-won and Kim Go-eun.

These two golden girls are the only two he likes in this audition.

Kim Go-eun is one of the monster newcomers in South Korea.

Kim Ji-won is a person who can never become popular no matter how much she is promoted. She is beautiful, and she is still beautiful. After more than ten years of accumulation, she finally became famous with the role of Queen of Tears.

He looks quite similar to Jing Tian and is also very mysterious. The difference is that his acting skills are much better than Jing Tian's.

"I'm ready, but I haven't chosen the actors yet, don't worry..."

Jing Tian said nothing and lifted the quilt.

This gave Li Mingyang a headache.

Jing Tian said coquettishly: "Husband, am I very good?"

"Yeah." "Then you have to be good too, and start filming as soon as possible, the day after tomorrow. I should be able to stay in Korea for half a month."

"Movie making requires the right time, right place, and right people...don't rush me."

"Do you believe what you said?" Jing Tian rolled his eyes.

I don’t believe it!
But I still have to find Jin Duomei!
After Jing Tian's repeated requests, Li Mingyang promised to start filming within a week, and Jing Tian happily went to the bathroom to brush her teeth.

"Honey, can we go shopping in Myeongdong today? I have nothing to wear."

Women always have less clothes to wear...

"I can't go to Myeongdong with you. The paparazzi here are too powerful. The last time I went shopping with Yang Mi, a lot of photos were taken of us."

"So how was it resolved in the end?"

"The paparazzi's masters just wanted to win me over, so they returned the photos to me. But they reminded me that I still have to be careful here." Li Mingyang said while taking a shower.

"It's hard to guard against the hidden camera elements here. Later, I went to the scene to check based on the angles of the photos. It's really amazing. Some of the photos were taken directly by surveillance cameras."

"Let's... be careful." Jing Tian rinsed his mouth, "I'm so bored if you don't accompany me."

"You are still very famous in Korea. There are posters of you in shopping malls. Of course, I don't care. It's just that someone doesn't want to make it public."

"You are angry." Jing Tian asked knowingly.

"No." Li Mingyang said while wiping his body with a towel.

"Okay, I'll go shopping alone." Jing Tian said as she stood on tiptoe, kissed Li Mingyang on the lips, and started picking clothes.

Not satisfied with the clothes in the master bedroom, I went to the theater suite in the air-raid shelter.

After picking out a white Chanel suit, Jing Tian casually applied some skin care products, then put her arm around Li Mingyang and went to the underground parking garage.

When Jing Tian saw the Rolls-Royce Phantom in the underground garage, his eyes widened.

"Husband, when did you start to like spending money?" Jing Tian pouted and said aggrievedly.

"It's just a car."

"But you spend more, and I spend less..."

"Actually I don't have much time to spend money, so I basically spend it on you."

"Hubby, why do I feel like you're a little off-kilter? Don't you have any feelings about money?"

"..."

"Although I am happy that you said that, but... you won't do the same to others, right?"

"You are my sweet wife, everyone else is just a passerby, I am only like this to you."

Jing Tian pouted, her eyes full of smiles, she rushed over, hugged Li Mingyang's neck, and kissed him passionately.

Then there were spray-like water stains on the hood and windshield of the Rolls-Royce Phantom.

Jing Tian is quite wise with her money. She buys both expensive and cheap things, as long as she likes it.

But once the amount exceeded one million, I would ask the company for reimbursement.

Don't spend his money.

Basically, except for buying a house, Li Mingyang could deposit all the money she spent into the project account.

Almost for free, Jing Tian even made money from the villa he bought in Lanhuayu'an...

……

Jing Tian went back to the room and changed into a casual black sweatshirt, and then the two of them officially set off.

But Jing Tian didn’t want to sit in the phantom anymore. He had just done it and felt a little socially frustrated.

Jing Tian didn't want to, but Li Mingyang insisted on opening it.

It will rain! Just go out and wash the car!
It was raining heavily. Li Mingyang drove a Phantom and took Jing Tian for a stroll.

Although it was raining, the visibility on the road was extremely good and all the cars were eight feet away from him.

This is the deterrent power of the little golden man!

When they were almost at CJ Entertainment, Li Mingyang stopped the rain.

After parking the car in the parking lot, Li Mingyang got out and walked in front, while Jing Tian followed behind. One after the other, the two entered CJ Entertainment.

Li Meijin went abroad a few days ago. Li Mingyang found the vice president and asked him to find two translators to accompany Jingtian to go shopping in the nearby Myeongdong Commercial Street, while he stayed in CJ to attend a meeting and decide on the casting.

When the vice president heard that there would be no second round of auditions and the role would be decided directly, he was very surprised and made Li Mingyang think twice.

Li Mingyang felt that there was nothing good to choose from, and joked: "My eyes will hurt if I keep watching. I have a basic understanding of their situations, so I will just decide on the angles directly."

The vice president sighed and raised his hand to signal Li Mingyang to make the decision himself.

Girls’ Generation didn’t come to the casting, probably because they felt it wasn’t their turn.

Koreans have a deep prejudice against traffic idols.

Lin Yoona also struggled for many years before she could make a movie.

Li Mingyang directly threw out three groups, Yoona and Seohyun, Krystal and Jessica, and Kim Ji-won and Kim Go-eun.

Give everyone a choice.

Unsurprisingly, everyone in the room voted for Kim Ji-won and Kim Go-eun.

But Li Mingyang disagreed and thought that Yoona, Seohyun, Krystal and Jessica were also good.

Ask everyone to give reasons to reject the other two options.

Little Crystal and her sister Jessica were purely to satisfy Li Mingyang's bad taste. Being sisters makes the photo shoot smoother and more exciting.

Yoona and Seohyun are actually a good match. The two little girls can be said to have the best acting talents in Girls' Generation, one is the face of the group, and the other is the youngest.

Koreans are quite biased...of course their bias is justified.

A group of people chattered for more than an hour, finding reasons to reject his idol plan.

The negative words are never repeated.

At the end of the argument, Li Meijin called and advised Li Mingyang to make a careful choice.

In the end, Li Mingyang gave Li Meijin a reason that she couldn't refuse.

"Goodbye, My Soul Mate", he will control himself and make a youth film that can be screened at the University of Tokyo.

From a business perspective, the fact that "Goodbye, My Soul Mate" can be screened at the University of Tokyo will bring in revenue that is definitely incomparable to that of South Korea.

Net profit is calculated in tens of billions of won.

When Li Meijin saw the script, she thought Li Mingyang was going to film a lesbian drama, so she didn't think much about it.

Now that Li Mingyang wanted to shoot a normal youth film, Li Meijin immediately nodded in agreement with Li Mingyang's idea and immediately booked a flight back home.

When others learned that the chairman strongly supported them, they immediately changed their tone and felt that Yoona, Seohyun, Krystal, and Jessica were also good choices.

He praised the four girls whom he had just despised with great emotion.

Seeing that everyone had almost finished their discussion, the vice president smiled and said that it was very late and invited Li Mingyang to have dinner at a nearby restaurant, but as for the final decision.

We’ll make a decision tomorrow when the president comes back and the six actresses arrive.

"Okay, wait for President Li to come back and discuss it together. I have a dinner party tonight, so I won't join you. I'm leaving first."

"Ok."

Li Mingyang sent a message to Jing Tian, ​​and after Jing Tian returned to CJ Entertainment with the spoils, the two left together and drove to Shilla Hotel.

As for the spoils, because there were so many of them, Li Mingyang asked the vice president to help deliver them to his home.

At around seven in the evening, Li Mingyang and Jing Tian came to Luoyan Restaurant on the 23rd floor of Shilla Hotel to have dinner with Zhen Zhidan and his group.

Korea has delicious food, and it’s not just kimchi.

But if you want to eat something good in Korea, it is very expensive.

Ra Yeon Restaurant is one of only two Michelin three-star restaurants in South Korea and is hailed as the highest level of Korean cuisine.

Li Mingyang didn't have much confidence in the highest level of Koreans, so he never came.

Luo Yan only sells set meals, which come in three tiers. Zhen Zhidan chose the highest-end 1000-tier set meal, which costs drinks and service fees separately.

It’s similar to eating Western food, one portion is served after another, and after finishing one portion, you continue to eat the next one.

The beer we drank was the famous White Bear Beer in Korea.

The first appetizer was cheese with crab meat, which was delicately presented on the plate, with a black branch-like pattern in the center of the plate. There was a layer of crab meat under the thick white mozzarella cheese, surrounded by a crispy layer of black squid ink, and the cheese was dotted with black caviar and edible gold foil.

Li Mingyang finished the dish, and Tiantian took a bite.

The second dish is soup, which is slow-cooked with bamboo fungus and green willow clams. The soup is clear and tastes like both the fresh fragrance of mountain delicacies and the sweetness of the sea. It is fresh, pure and mellow, and is a good appetite-stimulating ingredient.

The soup is served in a Chinese porcelain cup, which is quite artistic.

The third course is sashimi, which includes lobster, tuna, scallop and flying fish roe, served with freshly ground wasabi. The ingredients are very fresh.

The fourth dish is frog cuisine. The raw material is Northeast forest frog. The frog meat is fried first and then stir-fried with garlic slices and celery. Bread crumbs are also added to absorb the oil. The frog meat tastes crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, which is better than ordinary bullfrog.

The fifth dish is large yellow croaker, the sixth is Boston lobster...

The tenth dish is a matcha cake, which has an elegant shape, but this matcha dessert does not have the taste of matcha...

Li Mingyang ate it all...

Others just pick what they like to eat.

Tiantian only had soup and matcha cake.

After dinner, Tiantian went for a beauty SPA, while Li Mingyang discussed something with Zhen Zhidan, and whether to ask Wu Jing to join in the special identity matter.

"Brother Dan, Wu Jing doesn't have time. Can we replace him with someone else, such as Zou Zhaolong?" Li Mingyang said.

"No time?" Zhen Zhidan was in a bad mood and spoke weakly.

"Brother Dan, you don't have to worry too much. A little bit of public opinion won't affect your status in the circle. Look, I've been criticized to death, but it doesn't have much impact."

Zhen Zhidan smiled bitterly and said, "You are still young and have a long life ahead of you. I don't know how many more years I can fight..."

"It's a good thing to be prepared for danger in times of peace, but if you think too much about danger, you'll just be worrying about nothing. Don't I still have you? It's okay!"

Li Mingyang and Zhen Zhidan talked for more than half an hour.

This was probably the first time that Zhen Zhidan encountered such fierce negative public opinion. He was a little overwhelmed. At the same time, he was indeed not young anymore, almost fifty years old.

There are fewer and fewer action movies being made.

But eating rotten money is okay.

Jackie Chan even said that Chinese Zodiac would be his last movie, but he continued to shoot it for more than ten years. God knows when he will retire.

Every generation has its own talented people...

But there are no more people in the domestic entertainment industry anymore, and the generation of action actors has been cut off since Wu Jing.

Zhang Jin proved that he couldn't carry the box office.

Xie Miao can only make it in online movies, and his movies have been a failure in theaters.

There is really no one who can surpass him as an action actor. Even at this age, Li Lianjie was invited by Hollywood to film Mulan, and he could also film "The Bodyguard" with his junior brother.

Li Lianjie, Jackie Chan and Zhen Zhidan can still fight for another ten years!

The older you get, the more popular you become, because there’s no one around!
