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

Chapter 530 The most outrageous way to play, super washing machine
After dealing with Zhen Zhidan, Li Mingyang took another plane to Yanbei.

Wu Jing is also quite good at fooling people. Both he and Zhao Wenzhuo have been involved in the Hong Kong circle, and they recall the good and bad times together, so they have a lot in common.

When Li Mingyang met the two men, they treated each other like brothers and were like close friends.

Li Mingyang was originally planning to give Zhao Wenzhuo a movie and trick him into signing a contract.

Unexpectedly, no need.

As soon as Zhao Wenzhuo saw the contract signed by Zhen Zhidan, he was immediately excited. He heard that if he signed the contract, he could fight Zhen Zhidan and get 888 million. After a few drinks, he signed the contract.

Bang!
Li Mingyang and Wu Jing came out of Zhao Wenzhuo's house and got into the car.

"Director Li, what kind of conspiracy are you coming up with? I don't understand it. The two of them can't fight. If they can fight, I will write my name upside down." Wu Jing, who was as red as Guan Yu after drinking, said.

"Hey, you don't understand me, I'm a good person! There's no conspiracy! Don't accuse me!"

"No one would believe what you said." Wu Jing rubbed his hands and said with a wry smile, "I am also an accomplice. Can you give me a hand? Which stock are you going to invest in?"

“I don’t trade stocks.”

"Director Li, there's no one here except the two of us, so just tell me the truth. You made more than 600 million from your Guangguang stock!"

"Don't mention this matter. It makes me look like a leeks cutter."

Wu Jing nodded heavily, like a woodpecker.

Li Mingyang rolled his eyes, stepped on the accelerator, and sent Wu Jing home.

Along the way, Wu Jing asked questions everywhere and finally started crying about being poor.

In his last film, Wolf Fang, he used his connections accumulated over the years to attract $300 million in investment, and invested his own money, but lost more than million...

In the past few years, I have been paying off debts and repaying favors.

"This has nothing to do with stocks. It's easy to be fooled when speculating in stocks. I almost got fooled myself. I ran away very quickly. I didn't even double my money before I ran away." Li Mingyang parked the car in the parking space and said, "You should just focus on filming. Filming makes a lot of money."

"Hey... I'm an old man now, there's no time for me to have so many scenes to shoot."

"Don't you have a senior brother?"

"The master can only lead you to the door, but you still have to rely on yourself to practice... He has been a little weird lately..."

It's really weird...

He has the same problem as the princess: he has to go into every temple and worship every Buddha he sees.

This is largely due to guilty conscience...

"Don't think too much, just work hard, and when I return to my country, I will help you make a fortune."

"Okay, I will remember what you said in my heart for the rest of my life." Wu Jing grinned.

If he hadn't opened his third eye, who would have thought that this middle-aged man would start his own happy writing life five years later.

Wolf Warrior 2 was a huge hit across the country, grossing 56 billion yuan and topping the Chinese-language box office!

He then invested in and starred in The Wandering Earth and two other films, becoming the first male actor in the history of Dongda Film to reach a box office of 10 billion!
Don't be fooled by Wu Jing's tough look, he is actually quite cunning and has the soul of a funny guy.

However, he later became the top male actor, and his every word and action was magnified, the pressure was enormous, and his temper became quite bad.

After sending Wu Jing home, Li Mingyang went straight to the Four Seasons Hotel near the airport to meet Zhang Wei.

It was past eleven o'clock in the evening when we returned to the presidential suite on the top floor.

Zhang Wei was still awake. She was sitting on the sofa, wearing glasses and holding a pen, organizing documents.

"You haven't slept yet?" Li Mingyang asked with concern.

"Done?"

Li Mingyang took out two contracts from his bag and handed them to Zhang Wei.

When Zhang Wei saw the two people's signatures, she was originally a little sleepy, but suddenly she felt like she was given an injection of chicken blood and her eyes were shining.

"With this battle of the century as a hype, FBTV's traffic will definitely go to a higher level." Zhang Wei murmured, her ears turning red with excitement.

"Zhao Wenzhuo is just a side dish, Zhen Zhidan is the main dish. Brother Dan is really popular in Korea! Haha!"

"You can take advantage of this chaos. You are such a business genius. It's such a waste to make a movie. Let's find a director to train. It will be more efficient this way!" Zhang Wei suggested.

Li Mingyang did not comment. He took out a bottle of mineral water from the refrigerator and started drinking it gulply.

"There's something I want to talk to you about."

After drinking the mineral water and feeling refreshed, Li Mingyang turned around and asked, "What's the matter? I like making movies. I am where I am today because of movies."

"It's your own business to make a movie. I'm just giving you some advice." Zhang Wei crossed her legs, took off her glasses, and said seriously, "I don't want to take over the management of this artist anymore."

"Giving up right at the beginning is not your style..."

"I have confidence in what you and Wang Changtian can't do, but I'm not blindly confident." Zhang Wei folded her glasses and put them on her thighs. "THE NINE won the first place in Inkigayo yesterday by cheating and spending money."

"How did they do it? How did you know?" Li Mingyang's face turned cold. He sat opposite Zhang Wei and said in a deep voice.

"From the beginning to the end, I didn't think they could get first place. As soon as the result came out, I called the deputy director of SBS. Before I even opened my mouth, he asked me if I was satisfied with the result. I followed his words and asked more questions. It turned out that they spent money to buy sales, tickets, and online reviews. They were quite willing to spend more than three million dollars."

"This requires foreign exchange, right? Where do they get the money?"

"Zhang Ruoyun has it."

"..."

"These stars are too rich to be controlled," Zhang Wei lamented. "In Korean entertainment, the chaebols set the rules, the management companies squeeze them, and they are constrained by sky-high liquidated damages. They are graded and classified according to their qualifications and status, and their pay is basically fixed."

Zhang Wei picked up the coffee cup and took a sip of black coffee, then continued, "From a certain perspective, Korean entertainment is just one company. There is no malicious competition, and no malicious price hikes. Celebrities are just tools for chaebols to make money, and all resistance is futile."

"There are all kinds of monsters in the domestic entertainment industry now. The pay has risen to an outrageous level. The price for a first-tier star in the mainland to shoot a TV series has risen to one million per episode, and the package price for a second- and third-tier star is about eight million per series. Even with such an outrageous pay, all the filming locations in Hengdian are still full, and the filming is scheduled until next year..."

"iQIYI, Youku, Tencent Video, Sohu, and LeTV are too rich and are all spending money to grab the market. The pay is earned by them... In addition to them, a large number of people in finance, real estate, and retail have joined this circle. These speculative businessmen don't care about the industry at all. They are basically here for finance + movies. They have no bottom line and don't follow any rules..."

"Huayi and LeTV are developing celebrity IPs. This capital story is very well told, raising the status of celebrities infinitely. It's because the overall market is not good, otherwise the film and television stocks would have taken off long ago."

"In Korean entertainment, I am confident that I can control the stars. There are too many methods over there. In Chinese entertainment, it is basically impossible to control the stars."

"What you said... Huayi is not in good control."

"All the stars at Huayi are hoping that the company will go bankrupt. Li Bingbing's younger sister, Li Xue, calls me every day and sends me gifts from afar. She wants to merge her sister's studio into Huahua Entertainment."

"You don't even want to pretend!" Li Mingyang said in surprise.

"Li Bingbing is just a typical fence-sitter. In order to keep its stars, Huayi has given them many benefits. Huayi's shares in Li Bingbing and Huang Xiaoming's studios have fallen below 20%."

Zhang Wei lowered her head, raised her index finger, rubbed her temple, and said, "Huayi has many movies coming out this year. They packaged the revenue rights of those movies and gave them to the listed company, so that the box office and stock price are linked. The high box office will drive the company's stock price up, and when retail investors take over at high prices, they will sell them off to reap the profits."

"Celebrities are also a plate that can be manipulated in a subtle way. Celebrities' investment is also a positive. Huayi has given this benefit to the celebrities."

"You don't seem to feel anything about what I said?"

Feeling, what is the feeling.

Zhang Wei’s knowledge is quite in-depth, and she has almost covered all of Huayi’s financial and film content.

But this is not Huayi’s bottom line.

"Are you listening to me?"

Zhang Wei's cold voice came, and Li Mingyang came back to his senses. He smiled calmly and said, "They are them, and we are us. Artist management is a very important part of streaming media. Please take more care of it."

"I think we should give up on this part. It's a thankless task."

"Since I've handed this matter over to you, I will support you to the end. Just tell me how you need my cooperation, and I will do my best to cooperate. Are you angry with Tan Songyun and the others? Don't worry, I won't feel sorry for them. You can punish them however you want."

"I'm not negotiating with you, I just can't do it..."

"There is indeed a bit of that in China, a feeling of price gouging, but Korean entertainment is easy to control. You are doing a very good job, aren't you? Let's deal with Korea first."

"There's no need to worry about Korean entertainment. As long as they work with CJ for one day, those actors won't dare to do anything rash."

No matter how Li Mingyang tried to persuade her, Zhang Wei refused to agree.

In the end, there was really no other way, so I could only helplessly say: "Don't you want to go back to China and fight against iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video? As long as we can manage the artists well, we can reduce the production costs. With high-quality film sources and low costs, we can definitely beat iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video to a pulp."

Zhang Wei shook her head decisively. "The treatment of celebrities in China is too good. I really can't think of any way to restrain them... On the other hand, other people should have a bigger headache. Instead of competing with celebrities, we should do our own job well and maximize our benefits in the field we are good at, instead of competing with a group of celebrities."

Li Mingyang just wanted to compete on this point, otherwise there would be no way to win. No one knows better than him how ridiculous the future film pay in China will be.

Hollywood stars are jealous and rush to China to make money.

iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video have all been paid sky-high salaries for their films, and have been unable to make a profit for the entire decade, and can only watch helplessly.

Use good dramas and hits to make profits?
IQiyi has proven that it is impossible... IQiyi can be said to be a hit-making machine. Every year, there are many hit dramas. Its self-produced variety shows have always been at the forefront of the industry, and the embedded advertisements are numerous and dense, which is crazy.

As a result, the company loses money every year and is trapped in a vicious cycle where raising prices is suicidal, and not raising prices is waiting for death.

The cost of acquiring content is too high, and the main problem lies in the pay of celebrities.

So during the cold winter of the film and television industry, when star pay was drastically cut, iQiyi, Youku, Tencent Video and Biu turned losses into profits and made money.

"You are involved in artist management not because of the stars... but because of those women of yours, right?" Zhang Wei suddenly said.

"..."

"One of us plays the good cop and the other plays the bad cop, so basically there's no problem."

"You don't understand... This film fee is a huge mountain..." "Okay, I won't say anymore. I can't do anything. I'm not like you who can stay awake for days and nights when you're excited. I can only take care of the technology of the bouquet and the artists. I will die suddenly..."

"It's not that serious."

"Tan Songyun and the others should just go back to China. They are just wasting their time in Korea. I have already made arrangements for them."

"Zhong Xiaoyu can't leave!"

"why?"

"He has to take care of my daily life. As a big director, I must have an assistant!"

What is daily life...it's just the lower body.

……

April 4th, a very unlucky day.

Li Mingyang had not yet had time to announce that Huabu Technology would become the organizer of the "Battle of the Century".

The authorities stepped in and limited the flow of this farce.

Zhen Zhidan was eagerly waiting for the official response, but he didn't expect that the official would come just after he signed the contract.

This is bad news for Li Mingyang, he can no longer publicize it.

The good news is that the official flow control measures are very modest and the issue is still being discussed online.

The war of the century is still possible.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, as soon as Li Mingyang returned to Seoul, he went straight to Huahua Technology for a meeting!
Xiao Niao Xiaoyang, THE NINE, Function, Ma Dongxi, and Lee Soo-sung were all present.

This meeting will mainly be a summary of performance and everyone’s future plans.

Xiao Yang's version of Gangnam Style has been recorded.

Park Xingxing taught Xiao Yang to sing it word by word.

Park Xingxing didn't seem tired and was quite motivated.

Xiao Yang's self-confidence was seriously hurt. He really didn't expect that such an ugly person could sing so well, dance so well, have a big butt, a small waist, and be so sexy...

As far as Korean Wave is concerned, although Park Jin-young is not a top star, he is the master of many top stars. His most proud apprentice is the Asian Dance King RAIN!

Rain can be seen as a handsome version of Park Jin Young, who can sing and dance.

However, in terms of being coquettish and hardworking, Rain is far inferior to his master Park Jin Young.

Park Xingxing is quite responsible for the song Gangnam Style, and the MV is almost finished.

The MV directed by Park Xingxing is basically of the same type as Psy's MV, but it is more slutty and vulgar.

Xiao Yang's cute and silly nature was completely aroused, and he really deserved a beating.

Gangnam Style is essentially a vulgar and obscene song, the lyrics of which are full of desire for women and various fantasies of losers.

It fits the theme song very well with loser men, which is why Li Mingyang chose this song as the theme song.

It’s just that the men’s style is a half-finished product, with only the melody, the lyrics are not good enough, and there is no horse-riding dance.

"Xiao Yang, when in Rome, do as the Romans do. You don't have a Korean stage name yet, so I'll give you one," said Li Mingyang.

"Well, I won't bother you, Brother Li. I want to get it myself." Xiao Yang lowered his eyebrows and said reluctantly.

"It's just a small favor. You're welcome. From now on, you'll be called bird, little bird!"

Xiao Yang covered his face with his hands, both his body and his mood had suffered a severe blow.

Those who understood the conversation laughed out loud.

"Brother Li, can we change one? People who don't know would think I'm incapable."

"little bird?"

"Forget it, I'll just be Bird..." Xiao Yang decisively accepted his fate and kept telling himself in his heart that it would only be two years, and if he could get through it, the world would be bright and promising.

"Well, that's right, Xiaoniao, you should listen to Park Xingxing from now on. He will arrange all your schedules. Don't have any idol baggage."

Li Mingyang took off his sunglasses and solemnly placed them in Xiao Yang's hands. "Xiao Niao, these sunglasses have been with me for many years. They have witnessed my glory and hardships step by step. I give them to you today. I hope you will be like me, never give up, and be invincible."

Xiao Yang glanced at the sunglasses in his hand, pounded his chest hard, and was deeply moved. "Director Li, don't worry, I will do my best and will not embarrass you."

"Well, work hard, there's nothing else to do, you can go to JYP first!"

Xiao Yang put on sunglasses and nodded vigorously.

After seeing Xiao Yang off, Li Mingyang put his hands on the conference table, glanced at everyone else, and finally fixed his gaze on Little Squirrel and the others.

"Little Squirrel, you did a great job. You got the first place so quickly. I will keep my promise. You go back and pack up first and return next week!"

Tan Songyun, Zhong Xiaoyu and Tang Yixin jumped up happily, finally they were out of their misery and their money was not wasted.

"What day is next week? So I can call my mom and ask her to pick me up." Tan Songyun asked.

"Next Monday, I didn't expect you to get the position so quickly. It takes some time to arrange the work, so don't be lazy these few days. You will be busy when you get back."

"Well, let's retreat first?" Tan Songyun pointed to the door.

Li Mingyang nodded and watched the three girls running quickly, followed by the six Korean girls.

Ma Dong-seok is not short of roles to play, as he is about to join the cast of "Neighbors".

Li Mingyang cares a lot about this movie.
In addition to Ma Dong-seok, the main actors also include three golden flowers, Kim Sae-ron, who died of depression at the age of 25.

This is also a monster newcomer, Xiaomi in The Man from Lone Star and Daoxi in Daoxi Ya.

It's quite pitiful... He entered the industry at a very young age and made a lot of restricted movies.

It’s not about whether to expose or not. I don’t dare to let her expose herself. She is underage, and this is illegal in Korea...

The roles she took on when she was a child were all dark, cruel, and abusive.

The neighbors are pretty scary.

Do Hee is even more creepy.

There is no doubt that Kim Sae-ron was chased by the ancestor and fed.

Although he has never studied acting, his eyes are full of drama and he is natural and generous. At such a young age, he has been able to bring to life complex characters with different personalities, such as cute, scheming, and pitiful.

Her facial features are not stunning but she is very photogenic, and her eyes are full of stories when facing the camera.

She is what is called a movie face.

Xiaomi in the movie "Uncle", at only ten years old, left a deep impression on people with her sincere emotional scenes.

Do Hee's acting is impeccable.

Do-hee, a girl who combines good and evil, innocence and scheming, was portrayed perfectly and terrifyingly.

If he can't find Kim Da-mi this year, he plans to ask Kim Sae-ron to film "Witch 2".

As for the script, the neighbor's screenwriter Jiang Cao is capable of doing it.

Korean entertainment is really small... Jiang Cao is a cartoonist and also a screenwriter.

He has many works, one of which is "The Superpower Family", which is really great!
Li Mingyang likes it very much, and when he was making a skit, he copied it like crazy!

"The Supernatural" is produced by Disney and tells the story of a group of people with super powers struggling to survive in a world full of crises.

This drama is good in all aspects, with a top-notch cast, special effects that are not inferior to its Marvel counterparts, and a top-notch supernatural story.

The love between parents is so beautiful.

The core of martial arts and the story of supernatural powers are eye-opening and leave a long aftertaste.

The only problem with this drama is that the superpowers are too homogenized and the fights are not exciting enough.

The characters, group portraits, and plot are absolutely top-notch.

We have good screenwriters and good actors, that’s all.

Ma Dong-seok is really a lucky star!

Of course, he himself is the most awesome one!
After Ma Dongxi and Lee Soo-sung left, only Lee Mingyang, the five girls from Function, and Zhang Wei were left in the conference room.

Li Mingyang tapped the table with his fingers in a rapid rhythm, his eyes wandering over the five women.

The five women felt uncomfortable watching this.

As a girl group, they have seen a lot and have met all kinds of men. However, Li Mingyang's eyes are very strange, so strange that the five girls have no idea what he is thinking.

If I have to describe it, it would be the feeling of being stared at by a poisonous snake.

Chilling.

"Manager Zhang, why don't you speak first?" Li Mingyang turned to Zhang Wei and said.

Since the meeting started, Zhang Wei has not spoken a word and has been looking down at the documents in her hands.

Hearing Li Mingyang asking her to speak, Zhang Wei closed the document, took off her glasses, crossed her arms, and said calmly, "Do you know how much money you made at Dongda?"
