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

Chapter 538: Jing Tian is addicted to pinching
"What should we do next?" Zhang Wei asked.

"What else can I do? Once the money is collected, I can divide it up or run away!"

Well! You really treat me like a bunch of money, it's gone but never returned...

"There is no wall that is impenetrable. If this matter gets out, the consequences will be serious... Be a good person and leave some room for others," Zhang Wei advised.

"It's okay. I'm not afraid even if I know. When I go back, these people will only praise me for being awesome!" Li Mingyang grinned, his smile was extremely confident and sinister.

Zhang Wei and Li Xiucheng on the opposite side were speechless.

Li Mingyang put down the documents and his expression changed. "Xiucheng, five companies have confiscated the money, and one company ran away. You have to deal with it."

“We’re working on it.”

"Hurry up and try not to make a big deal out of it. Next month, I plan to borrow arrows from a straw boat again."

Zhang Wei and Li Xiucheng widened their eyes!

Shit! Do it again! You really don’t treat me like a human being!

Damn, you think you’re not dying fast enough?

"Manager Zhang, what does SM say?"

"There is no definite statement that Lee Soo Man is not in the country."

"He probably found a new partner from Dongda, most likely iQiyi... If Function is so profitable, Girls' Generation must be even more profitable."

"It may not be that simple. Im Yoona and Seohyun are filming your movie, and Girls' Generation's work has come to a standstill."

"Stagnated? SM can give Girls' Generation a break?"

"The team is stagnant, but there are personal announcements. Those who can join the crew will join the crew, and those who can join the variety show will join the variety show."

Li Mingyang nodded, this is very Korean entertainment.

Things are almost done.

After having a meal at the company, Li Mingyang drove to Jiangnan District and entered the nightclub opened by Dapeng and Xiao Shenyang.

It's around 7pm.

It was the time for dinner, but the store was unusually deserted, like a bar.

Li Mingyang didn't come here to play, but to solve problems.

After the two came to Korea, they did not follow his arrangement to join the crew, but went to nightclubs for a few days. They found that nightclubs were very profitable and they made a lot of money every day.

So the two of them got together and decided to take over the nightclub.

It cost more than two million.

Business was good in the first two days after opening, but then it got worse and worse, and finally became as bad as this.

The waiters were running out.

The two old men knelt on the ground and cried to Li Mingyang. They cried so miserably, as if their parents had died.

Actually, it’s pretty much the same…

The two of them mortgaged their houses in China to buy this nightclub.

Li Mingyang walked around the store. It was over 200 square meters, with two floors. It had all the necessary equipment, a large dance floor, and good sound systems.

The interior is in good condition and the exterior is in good location.

What's more, when they sold the store, they also kept all the original employees.

Li Mingyang couldn't understand why business was getting worse, so he called Li Xiucheng.

After Li Xiucheng arrived, Dapeng and Xiao Shenyang repeated what they had just said.

"The entertainment industry here is very competitive. We have to change things up all the time, such as redecorating, organizing creative activities, playing edge games, and having girl groups perform... You guys don't have any changes, so it's easy for you to go bankrupt."

"Brother Li, if you have any good ideas, we will all listen to you," said Dapeng.

Li Xiucheng was about to make a long speech and point fingers at the river when a group of burly men in black business suits walked in.

As soon as the leading man saw Li Xiucheng, he immediately took off his sunglasses and trotted over to bow, "President Li, long time no see."

Li Xiucheng scratched his head, he had no impression, he didn't recognize him. "Oh, you guys come and play!"

"No, we're here to recycle the audio equipment."

As he spoke, the big man took out a document and showed it to Li Xiucheng.

Li Xiucheng took a quick look, returned the receipt to the other party, covered his eyes, and said speechlessly: "Dapeng, you have been fooled."

"Were you fooled?" Dapeng watched a group of big men go to the dance floor.

“All the sound equipment in this store is rented.”

"How could it be rented? I bought them all with my own money."

There was a sonic boom and the big men started to dismantle things. Dapeng and Xiaoshenyang ran over to stop them when they saw it.

Although we are all acquaintances, we don't speak the same language.

Li Xiucheng began to explain to the two of them.

There are many nightclubs in Seoul and competition is fierce, so most people who open nightclubs will rent a place to test the waters first.

The nightclub that Dapeng and his friends bought was just a test run. The audio equipment that looked very expensive was actually rented.

Not only was the sound equipment rented, but when the big men in black were dismantling the sound equipment, a few more big men in black arrived, followed by a group of porters.

Upon inquiry, it turns out that the tables, chairs, benches, backstage costumes, and a complete set of wine and beverage equipment are all rented...

The newcomers didn't have a good attitude. As soon as they came in, they shouted a few words at the top of their lungs and started moving things.

Dapeng was scared and didn't dare to go. Xiaoshenyang went to negotiate, but didn't understand anything.

In the end, it was the big man in black who knew Li Xiucheng who went to negotiate.

More than half an hour later.

Dapeng and Xiaoshenyang, who finally realized that they had been cheated, squatted on the side of the road, watching others load their cars with the things they had bought. They were overwhelmed with grief and started crying again when the wind blew.

"Xiucheng, this store is in a good location, and there are still three years of rent left. If we sublet it, we should be able to make quite a bit of money."

Li Xiucheng looked at Li Mingyang strangely and whispered, "Boss, nothing was explained clearly. They deliberately lied to them. How could the rental contract be true..."

The King of Northeast entrusted the two people to him, so he naturally had to take good care of them. So he asked Li Xiucheng to call the police and let the police handle the matter.

Who knew that when the police came, their faces changed when they heard Dapeng talking, and they just nodded without saying anything.

Li Xiucheng stepped forward to negotiate and the police put on a smiling face. When they heard that he was from CJ Entertainment, their attitude became even better.

Everyone was invited to get on the police car, but there were not enough police cars, so another one was called over.

The record-keeping process lasted for a long time and Li Mingyang even fell asleep in the lounge.

When I woke up, it was already past ten in the evening and I found that the vice president of CJ Entertainment had arrived.

"How's it going? Can you get it back?"

"The police checked and found out he was a repeat offender, so they couldn't find anything."

Li Mingyang scratched his head, looking at the depressed Dapeng and Xiaoshenyang, and couldn't help but sigh, "I think you two are both very cunning, how could you be deceived into this state? Okay, stop crying, go to the crew tomorrow, and endure for a year or two. When your master comes out, everything will be fine."

When they heard that their master had come out of retreat, their faces became even worse.

Both of them deeply felt how stingy the master was... and how many rules he had.

After being busy all day, Li Mingyang was amused by the two funny guys, Dapeng and Xiao Shenyang.

What a god-level operation! Selling everything he had to open a nightclub.

I lost everything I had and almost lost my house.

Li Mingyang called Zhao Dashan to tell him about this, and Zhao Dashan was so angry that he laughed.

"I know about this. I will help them solve the house issue. Tell them not to mess around and everything will be fine." Zhao Dashan said.

"okay."

"Director Li, what do you think I should do now?"

"One must be open-minded, learn to let go, and admit defeat as soon as possible..."

"..."

……

After a busy night, Li Mingyang returned to his mansion in Chengbeidong.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Wei was waiting for him in the living room.

"What's wrong? What's the matter?" Li Mingyang wondered.

Zhang Wei silently picked up a document on the table and handed it to Li Mingyang.

Li Mingyang opened it and saw that it was the gambling agreement he and Zhang Wei signed a few months ago. At that time, Zhang Wei wanted absolute artist autonomy and subsequent artist management rights, and she put up 2% to gamble with him.

But Zhang Wei gave up a while ago because it was too difficult... This is a world problem.

Li Mingyang didn't want to mention this matter at first, and he would bring it up when he needed to control Zhang Wei.

Unexpectedly, he actually took the initiative to bring up this matter.

"Oh, I don't care about this matter anymore, and you don't have to take it to heart."

"But the contract has been signed, and I have come up with a new solution."

Li Mingyang was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed, and said happily: "I often tell others that Manager Zhang is a heroine, and she is as good as any man. I was right about her."

Zhang Wei silently rolled her eyes at Li Mingyang.

Li Mingyang was trying to fool her, but she wouldn't fall for it.

"It's impossible to control the top domestic actors. There are too many factions."

Li Mingyang nodded. Now it is just the top. In a few years, the second and third tier cities will be out of control.

"This year, the competition between iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video has entered a fierce stage. Youku has swallowed up Tudou, and iQiyi is catching up very closely with the resources of Mango TV. Penguin Video does not have a high market share, but Penguin has invested crazily in the film and television industry, second only to Alibaba... According to the current trend, in a few years, even second- and third-tier stars will be out of control."

"Isn't this conclusion too arbitrary?"

“It’s not arbitrary… Instead of wasting time on creating illusory content, it’s better to spend money on visible celebrities. The IP value of celebrities is easy to develop, has large traffic, quick results, and high returns. From a capital perspective, this is inevitable.”

Li Mingyang stared at Zhang Wei deeply. This woman is so amazing...

How did I suppress her at that time? Oh, now I remember, I was too serious... I was earning the salary of an 18th-tier star, but I was acting like the Jade Emperor and cutting off other people's financial resources.

"So, how do you solve it?"

"Two options." Zhang Wei raised two fingers and said.

two?

Who are you fooling...

"Speak." Li Mingyang folded his arms, not quite believing it.

Zhang Wei stood up and called the maids standing in the four corners over.

The maids all wore the same style of black and white lace bow apron, black pantyhose, and black leather shoes.

Zhang Wei didn't know what to say and started taking off her apron.

These four maids were selected by Li Mingyang later. They are all around 165cm tall, have an ascetic face, and full breasts, at least C cup, with curves in all the right places.

The black and white aprons were taken off. The four girls folded the aprons and placed them on the floor. Then they sat on the floor to take off their stockings. Soon, only their underwear was left.

The underwear comes in a variety of styles, including lace, thong, bright red, and pink.

Li Mingyang frowned slightly. Why did the four girls have so many red spots on their upper bodies? Li Mingyang took a closer look and found that there were red spots not only on their upper bodies but also on their thighs.

"Who did this?" Li Mingyang asked angrily.

"If it's not me, and it's not you, then who else could it be?"

Li Mingyang turned around and looked at the housekeeper.

The housekeeper was stunned and shook her head repeatedly. She didn't want to take the blame.

"Not the butler."

"That's Xiaoyu. How could this girl be so cruel?"

"Zhong Xiaoyu...are you pretending?"

Li Mingyang touched his nose awkwardly. Although Jing Tian had indeed pinched Shishi, Shishi, who had amazing endurance, high defense and thick blood, was pinched so hard that she lay on the bed in pain and couldn't get up.

But for these maids...how could it be...

"I don't mean to blame her. On the contrary, I want to thank her for giving me an idea."

"What idea?"

"We can't restrict celebrities, but we can build a team to serve them."

"What's the point of this..."

"High user fees maximize our interests...If they enjoy the benefits of resources, they will be exploited by us. If we can't control people, we can control money."

"Forced purchase or sale?"

"It's worth the money. Your Jingtian should be willing to pay for it."

"She is... quite special."

"She is not an isolated case...these maids are obedient and loyal enough to help us monitor the artists."

Li Mingyang thought about it and felt that this thing was useless, because in many cases, domestic celebrities have the other party, the crew, pay for the artist’s team expenses.

Relying on a group of assistants to monitor celebrities is like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth. Shishi's assistants were selected by Cai Yinong herself, and now they are all under Cai Yinong's command and all listen to Shishi.

"Tell me about your second plan."

"If we treat celebrities as the top executives of Huazhu Entertainment and suppress each other, it will be more in our interest. Too much unity will be disadvantageous to us."

"what do you mean?"

“Let the stars join the management.”

"That's a mess. Do you know how many people are behind a star?"

"We can tell a story, just like A-shares, to build a company, like Mingyang, put these people in, breed poison inside, and constantly fight among the insiders..."

"I am a star myself. You can't expect a group of financially independent people to obey your arrangements." Li Mingyang said lightly.

"But there will always be someone willing, right?" Zhang Wei curled her lips slightly and said indifferently: "One 18th-tier company is not as good as one first-tier company. But what about ten 18th-tier companies? What about a hundred? From a cost perspective, they are actually about the same."

"Your tactics are suitable for live broadcasts, but not for the entertainment industry."

Zhang Wei opened her mouth, but swallowed her words back. She just wanted to do live streaming. The live streaming industry in South Korea is very developed!
It’s all formed!

"You don't really want to do a live broadcast..."

"why not?"

Li Mingyang was about to speak when he heard a noise coming from the stairs, followed by a series of footsteps.

Looking back, Jing Tian ran into the living room happily.

When Jing Tian saw the four maids standing naked in front of Li Mingyang, she glared at them and was about to get angry, but suddenly she remembered what she had done, her face turned red with shame, and she lowered her head and ran upstairs.

Li Mingyang shook his head. "Let them put on their clothes... This is one of the largest pornographic live broadcast bases in Asia. The way we do it in China is a joke here."

"..."

"Your ideas are all correct, but the domestic entertainment industry is very complicated. You have never been in the entertainment industry, so you have no idea how many circles there are in the industry... Forget it. I know you are afraid that I will use that 2% to mess with you. This bet ends here. Let's just pretend it never happened and focus on what we are good at."

Li Mingyang picked up the gambling contract, tore it into strips, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it into the trash can from more than 20 meters away.

The four maids and the butler almost popped their eyes out of their heads at this scene.

Li Mingyang snapped his fingers and walked upstairs.

I opened the door of the master bedroom, but I didn't see anyone, but I heard the sound of dripping water.

Li Mingyang glanced into the cloakroom and saw a blood-white figure rubbing something behind the frosted glass.

Jingtian is taking a shower.

Li Mingyang had no intention of blaming Jing Tian, ​​so he just let the maid pinch him.

But Jing Tian needs to change his bad habit of pinching people. Last time, he pinched Shi Shi to death, which was quite devastating.

Li Mingyang sat on the sofa, took out his mobile phone, and looked through the messages on WeChat and various groups.

Ten minutes later, Jing Tian came out of the cloakroom wrapped in a bath towel and wearing slippers.

Li Mingyang glanced at him and said, "You are so powerful now, you can pinch anyone at will..."

Jing Tian pursed her lips, snorted, turned around, sat in Li Mingyang's arms, and said maliciously: "What's wrong, are you heartbroken?"

"Who did you learn this bad habit of pinching people from... You are a female celebrity, you should be careful about your words and actions. If you develop a habit and pinch people randomly, if it is exposed, you will be labeled a bad woman immediately."

"I know, I know. You went even further than I did. You let them warm the bed. You are the one who should reflect on yourself the most."

"I'm always like this at home, not when I go out. Look at your hand, it looks like you want to pinch someone at any time." Li Mingyang pointed at Jing Tian's hand, with his index and middle fingers slightly bent and separated.

Jing Tian silently clenched his fists.

Li Mingyang reached into Jing Tian's bath towel, rubbed her conscience and said, "Speaking of which, how did they offend you? If you want to pinch someone, tell the truth, otherwise you won't be able to sleep tonight."

"No...no, do you want me to tell you or not..." Jing Tian resisted, but her charming appearance and elastic touch made Li Mingyang unable to stop.

"Confess and you'll be treated with leniency, or else your little mouth will suffer."

"Just tell me the truth. How many women have you eaten with?"

If you don't fight for three days, go to the house and uncover the tiles.

Li Mingyang wanted to teach Jing Tian a lesson, but suddenly an idea flashed in his mind and he said with a wicked smile: "Tiantian, if I ask them to pinch you, will they pinch you? Will they pinch you very hard?"

Jing Tian was stunned and said stubbornly: "They dare!"

"My orders are more effective than yours."

"..."

Li Mingyang’s mind suddenly flashed the scene of Jing Tian screaming in pain from being strangled. It was both brutal and amusing.

Jing Tian stared with his eyes wide open, rubbed his body, and his hardness soared.

It's not good to scream secretly.

As the saying goes, a good woman doesn't fight with a man. Jing Tian immediately compromised, started acting coquettishly, and said a few soft words.

My body went limp.

Jing Tian is easily upset, so Li Mingyang decided to stop when he saw that things were going well and started to attack her indirectly.

Jing Tian uses his brain and is not easy to fool.

However... when Li Mingyang spoke his true thoughts, he was not concerned about the lives of those maids, but was concerned about her and was worried that she would bring this back to the country.

Jing Tian opened his heart and told the reason.

It turned out that Jing Tian complained that the filming progress was slow and that Yoona and Seohyun often took leave, so she used the maid at home as a stand-in for rehearsals.

She had used almost all the maids, and the four in the living room were the dumbest, being scolded the most and pinched the most times.

"I see. Why didn't you say so earlier?"

"I didn't want to say it originally. I wanted to treat it as my little confidant. This trick is quite effective."

It must work...

Shooting is a process of constant trial and error, constant polishing, and finding the best piece of the puzzle.

“Where did you take this?”

"The secret room downstairs."

Li Mingyang nodded, "How's the filming going? Let me take a look."

"They are all on the set, waiting for tomorrow."

"Don't you have a backup at home?"

"What's so good about them? Let's watch the feature film tomorrow!"

Li Mingyang always felt that Jing Tian's filming in a secret room was not that simple, and there must be some unspeakable secret.

At most, it’s just taking photos naked…what else?
Jing Tian really didn't regard the maid at home as a normal person...

It was all my fault for playing too much with Jing Tian in the secret room last time...
