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

Chapter 564: Desert Ballad, a drama involving three women.

6 month 26 day.

Hangzhou, Huace Headquarters.

In the conference room.

While listening to reports from various departments, Boss Zhao checked the progress of various projects the company was working on.

After all departments finished reporting, Boss Zhao clasped his fingers together and said in a deep voice, "How's the negotiation going with Cotton?"

"Now it's a question of price. They are not satisfied with the billion we offered."

"If he is not satisfied, let him bring it up and sign a bet agreement."

"I'll talk to him tomorrow."

"Don't be too impatient, take your time. We can wait, but he can't!" Boss Zhao looked at the subordinate in charge of Tangren.

"Cai Yinong still refuses to compromise?"

"Tangren's artist management has been taken over by Li Mingyang. Tangren has no worries about funding now, so it's difficult to negotiate."

"Don't contact Tangren for the time being. Cai Yinong is only suitable for running a small workshop and cannot keep up with the times." Boss Zhao commented sharply.

After Huace went public, the film and television industry chain expanded very rapidly.

It has offices in more than 30 cities across the country, owns the largest library of film and television copyrights, more than 20 production studios, and has hundreds of strategic partners at home and abroad.

Huace is different from other production companies in that it focuses on behind-the-scenes work. After gaining the support of Mingyang’s army of behind-the-scenes talent, it has become the largest behind-the-scenes company in China.

Production capabilities, number one in the country!

It is unique in the television industry.

In less than a year, the Sugar Man that followed the routine was left far behind by Huace.

But Huace also has its own troubles. It has no top artists and no top directors.

We can only find foreign aid at a premium.

This is also why she gave Wu Zhikui and Ye Xiangdong the opportunity to direct the film "A Flowing River" with an investment of hundreds of millions!
As Li Mingyang's right-hand men, the two are indeed very capable, one is good at communication and the other is good at coordination.

I'm not sure how the drama was filmed.

But the crew ran smoothly, and the producer and two assistant directors she sent to follow the group were full of praise for the two men.

Li Mingyang tried to promote the two to become directors, and Boss Zhao went along with it.

Anyway, the show had problems in the end and didn't sell as well as expected, so I went to Li Mingyang to cry.

Whether Li Mingyang shoots the film himself or borrows people from Huashu Entertainment, it is a business that is sure to make money.

At this time, the secretary came in and handed her a document.

Boss Zhao looked through the information and was immediately delighted. "What about the Golden Rooster, Golden Statue, and Golden Horse? They are not recognized abroad. The European three are more appealing."

With Li Mingyang winning the Best Screenplay award at Cannes, Love Under the Moon has sold over 3 million yuan in China and is still in talks overseas. Based on the current market conditions, it can make at least million US dollars.

"Director Zhao, is there something good?"

"The sales of Love and Separation are very good... If Director Li can settle down and make TV series, the domestic market will belong to us Huace sooner or later."

"Everyone pursues different things. Director Li has wanted to win the award for many years."

"I don't think they'll have a chance of winning the Palme d'Or. With their character, if they can't get the award, they'll start sabotaging it."

"CJ's overseas influence is OK, but whether it can succeed depends on CJ. It's useless in China."

Boss Zhao raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, "Shut up and don't talk nonsense."

Everyone nodded silently and dared not say anything more.

At this time, the secretary pushed the door open again and whispered something in Boss Zhao's ear.

When Boss Zhao heard this, he didn't even bother to attend the meeting and ran out in a hurry.

He jogged all the way to the lobby downstairs and ran excitedly towards a fat woman with a plain face, a fat head and small ears, ordinary clothes, a pair of black-framed glasses, and a tuft of purple dyed hair.

"Director Lin, why didn't you tell me in advance that you were coming here today?" Boss Zhao grabbed Director Lin's hand and smiled until his eyes almost narrowed into slits.

Lin Yufang patted Boss Zhao's hand, feeling extremely relieved. With this attitude, she was far better than Cai Yinong.

"Director Lin, you haven't eaten yet, right? Let's go, I know a fish restaurant that's delicious."

"I won't eat this meal. I came here today because... I'm a little embarrassed. Sugar Man has another job, so I may not be able to take over your role."

"Is it a price issue? That's negotiable. I really like Director Lin's movies and have always wanted to work with him."

"I really can't leave..."

Boss Zhao narrowed his eyes and smiled even more happily.

If you can't leave, come here.

While chatting, Boss Zhao took Lin Yufang to visit Huace.

Lin Yufang was hesitant at first, but when she saw the cafeteria and the hundreds of office clerks, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart that Huace is really a big company with a huge business, which is not comparable to Tangren.

"Director Lin, since you don't want to go out to eat, let's just have something to eat in the cafeteria. Please go upstairs." Boss Zhao pointed to the stairs.

Lin Yufang reluctantly went upstairs and came to a very spacious private room. There was an 8-person table for two people, with 16 Cantonese dishes, which was both luxurious and wasteful.

After eating for a while, Lin Yufang was very touched by Boss Zhao's kindness. She put down her chopsticks, took out a novel from her bag and handed it to him.

"The Desert Ballad? Is this Tangren's next drama?"

"Yes."

Boss Zhao is not interested in novels. What she cares about is Lin Yufang, who is an expert in ancient costume dramas and she has many ancient costume drama scripts that she wants to find someone to film.

If only Lin Yufang could be recruited here.

Sugar man can die wherever he wants.

"Let me look back. Director Lin, if you are not satisfied with the price, you can increase it. If you have other requirements, you can also raise them. If you don't raise them, I don't know what to do." Boss Zhao said with a smile.

Seeing Boss Zhao put the book aside, Lin Yufang didn't care much and lowered her head to pick up a piece of bamboo shoot. "Boss Zhao, you'd better read it carefully. The heroine of this play is Liu Shishi... I'm full, so I'll leave first. Don't send me off. Read the book carefully."

Boss Zhao's expression froze, and he smiled as he escorted Director Lin out of the company and into the car.

The car was driven very far away, but was still waving at the intersection.

After the car completely disappeared from sight, he trotted back to the restaurant's private room and took the book "The Desert Ballad" back to his office.

After reading for more than an hour, the experienced boss Zhao frowned and threw the book aside. He thought the book was crooked and suspected of smearing the national hero.

Nowadays, the authorities are very strict in checking ancient costume dramas. They have incorrect values ​​and distort history. Such dramas cannot even get a license to start filming.

"Are you doing this trick of filming without a license again?"

Many TV dramas that know they will have a hard time passing the censorship will be filmed secretly, and then they will try to pass the censorship when they are almost done.

This is the mentality of a small workshop, and it is difficult to achieve great things.

Boss Zhao made a few phone calls and quickly understood the general situation.

The drama has already found a buyer, Mango TV.

When two mischievous ghosts get together, nothing good is bound to happen.

"Next year, the existing Press and Publication Administration and the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television will be merged to form a new management department. If they can do this at this juncture, it will be ok if they can outrun it and pass the review on time. But if they can't, they will be doomed."

Boss Zhao adjusted his glasses and picked up The Desert Ballad again.

"If you win in running, I lose!"

Demolish the house!

Boss Zhao finally got the chance to take apart the candy man!
……

The domestic release date of Goodbye cannot be changed.

Cinema chains led by Wanda, Poly, Huayi, and Stellar Media are reluctant to put Goodbye into the summer schedule.

There is no way around it, China Film Group held a meeting to set the release date for Goodbye.

Most people at the meeting felt that Li Mingyang was a figure on par with Hollywood's big commercial directors.

We should fight against Hollywood blockbusters instead of going to the Domestic Film Protection Month and using foreign films to suppress domestic films.

No one questioned Li Mingyang's ability, and no one said anything bad about him. Everyone's attitude was consistent.

Domestic films need new blood. In two years, Li Mingyang has made two films with box office of over 1 billion yuan each, defeating the top domestic directors including Chen Kaizi, Jiang Wen, Feng Kuzi, Zhang Yimou and Tsui Hark. He no longer needs to prove how awesome he is.

It's time to give the opportunity to other newcomers.

It doesn’t matter at other times, but it doesn’t matter during the Domestic Film Protection Month.

Last year, domestic films almost failed because the domestic film protection month was relaxed, and Transformers 3 was even released during the summer vacation.

Li Mingyang's top action movie witch was completely powerless against Transformers 3 and was beaten to pieces.

Domestic films are in a disadvantaged group when facing foreign blockbusters, and foreign blockbusters should not be allowed to enter the Domestic Film Protection Month.

Although Li Mingyang is a director from the University of Tokyo, he now represents foreign blockbusters.

Cinemas are the terminal of the film industry, and Wanda is not the only one involved in the upstream. Other cinema chains are also busy.

For example, Bernard’s backer is Poly Group.

Huayi has its own cinema chain.

Star Cinemas not only has its own production company, but also an agency, Star Cinemas Qianyi, whose general manager is Chang Jihong.

You have me I have you.

How could cinemas possibly miss out on the big cake of film and finance?

Summer vacation is a popular season and a good opportunity for box office success. How many people are ready to reap the benefits of the stock market and make a lot of money? How could they possibly let Li Mingyang in?

Even if Li Mei Jin proposed to sell 40% of the box office revenue to major theaters.

I've reached the bottom line, but it still doesn't work.

There are thousands of reasons, but they just won’t let us in.

"You're not going to play with me!" Li Mingyang complained.

"This year, the domestic film protection month at the University of Tokyo is very strict. Except for cartoons, other types of movies cannot be shown. Let's leave it like this for now."

Although Li Meijin felt sorry, she still advised Li Mingyang to look at it more positively. Li Mingyang got a share of the box office revenue for Goodbye My Soul Mate. It was released in September. It was a high-definition pirated version and it was a Hollywood blockbuster during an unpopular time period, so he basically didn't make much money.

The box office has exceeded 100 million, we are so lucky.

The more famous he is, the faster the piracy spreads!

In just two days, all major subtitle groups in the country took action, and there were more than 30 types of high-definition pirated Chinese subtitle sources online!

On Qvod, the search volume for "goodbye" has skyrocketed, ranking first by a large margin!

Too bad!

Li Mingyang gulped down a bottle of cold beer, but his heart was still burning like fire.

Being in the middle of the situation, he knew better than anyone how dangerous he was.

The enemy is at the gates and the army is approaching.

His food supply was cut off, his route of retreat was blocked, and he faced internal and external troubles.

The only way out is to surrender to iQiyi.

The Penguins didn't give him a chance.

Lu Bu has reached the White Gate Tower!
I feel terrible.

Li Mingyang left the nightclub and returned to his mansion in Seongbuk-dong in a daze.

We walked through the bamboo forest and climbed up the stairs to the courtyard. In the distance, by the swimming pool, several girls were sitting by the pool, swinging their feet and playing in the water.

As they got closer, Li Mingyang was slightly stunned and then tried to walk back.

But I was still a step too slow.

"Ming Yang! You're back!" Liu Shishi stood up and waved to him happily.

Yang Mi and Jing Tian also stood up slowly, without saying a word, and just stood there quietly.

Instead, Liu Shishi was very excited and ran towards him.

Cool jade in the arms.

Cool breeze.

Li Mingyang felt a little guilty, and his back was soaked without him noticing...

Sweet stir-fried lion head.

Such a good day is unrealistic.

The three girls are all worried...

After Cannes, Yang Mi stayed in Korea for almost half a month. She returned to China to participate in an event a while ago, so she stayed there for a total of ten days.

Now it's back again.

It seems that she came with Jingtian and Shishi.

"Mingyang, why do I feel like you are not very happy?" Liu Shishi pushed Li Mingyang away and said with a pout.

"No, I'm very happy." Li Mingyang said guiltily.

"Really? Then why don't you kiss me?" Liu Shishi said, glancing behind her.

Yang Mi and Jing Tian put on slippers and walked towards the villa, as if they were ignoring the two people.

Li Mingyang held Liu Shishi's soft little hand and asked, "Did you come together?"

Liu Shishi snorted, shook off Li Mingyang's hand, and just looked up at him, as if she would cry at any time.

Li Mingyang glanced quickly in the direction of Yang Mi and Jing Tian, ​​saw the two women enter the house, and was about to hug Shishi.

Shishi pouted, pushed him away, and said unhappily, "Do you care about Mimi or Jingtian? If they care, do you not want me?"

"How could I not want you? You and Mimi are best friends."

"She has so many girlfriends, and I'm not one of them."

"Really? But didn't you make a blood oath last year and say you would be together forever?" Li Mingyang said with a wicked smile.

When Liu Shishi thought of that embarrassing scene, her face suddenly turned red with shame, but soon the shame in her eyes disappeared, and she was filled with resentment. She said quietly, "But Mimi doesn't play with me anymore, and keeps hiding from me."

"How could that be? I just saw you guys were having a great time chatting!"

"no the same!"

What's the difference? Li Mingyang didn't ask, took off his sunglasses, and prepared to cum first.

Shishi was wearing transparent sandals, tight grey jeans, and a white long-sleeved T-shirt. Her cheeks were slightly rosy, and she looked very seductive.

If you want to get into a woman's heart, you must first get into her body.

If one wants to speed up the speed of telepathic communication, the fastest way is to enter Shishi's body.

Li Mingyang hugged Shishi's slender waist.

Shishi was very experienced and immediately blocked her mouth, refusing to let him kiss her. "Tell me the truth, you can only choose one among the three. Who do you choose?"

"I choose Liu Yifei."

Liu Shishi was stunned. She didn't expect this answer. Then her mouth felt hot and her lips lost the initiative.

After a long moment of parting lips, Liu Shishi's eyes were blurred, she forgot her question, pouted her lips, and asked in confusion, "Why did you choose Liu Yifei? You really like her!"

"As the Art of War says, attack the enemy unexpectedly and take them by surprise." Li Mingyang bent down and passed through Shishi's knees, holding her in his arms. "There is a suite next door. Let's sleep there."

"Ah."

As they walked, Liu Shishi suddenly remembered something and suddenly grabbed Li Mingyang's collar, "Let's go to that villa, they are waiting for us."

"Wait for us? Did you guys discuss this?"

"It's very important to you, go quickly." Liu Shishi said coquettishly.

"How about tomorrow? We can just be alone today."

[Escape will not solve the problem, why do you always want to escape...]

Liu Shishi’s inner voice suddenly came out.

Li Mingyang felt very embarrassed when he heard this, but he could still manage to avoid it, as all three of them could sleep, except that they could not sleep together.

There's no use being tough!
"Hurry up, if you make your Tiantian angry, you will regret it." Liu Shishi said jealously.

"You are my teacher, and you always will be."

"Ah."

Li Mingyang carried Shishi back to the villa. As soon as they entered the villa, Liu Shishi jumped out of his arms, changed into a pair of slippers, and walked quickly to the living room.

Mimi sat cross-legged on the single sofa, flipping through the script in her hands.

Tiantian was sitting on the three-seater sofa opposite, flipping through a book.

Liu Shishi walked over and sat on the empty double sofa. She looked around and looked at the maid standing in the corner.

"Do they really not understand what we are saying?" Shishi asked.

"What the maid doesn't understand, the butler can understand. If you have any needs, you can tell the butler." Li Mingyang took off his sunglasses and put on the slippers that the butler placed at his feet.

"You live a very corrupt life, with so many maids..."

"This villa is bigger than what you see, and it needs to be cleaned every day. If we don't hire more people, we won't be able to handle it." Li Mingyang looked at the three sofas, not knowing where to sit.

At this time, the housekeeper considerately moved a chair for him.

The three girls looked at the housekeeper in unison, blaming her for being nosy.

The butler returned to the corridor between the living room and the dining room with a normal expression and stood there, pretending nothing happened.

Li Mingyang thought about it and did not sit on the chair. Instead, he sat next to Shishi, right next to her, and eavesdropped on her thoughts.

"Our Director Li still loves my sister more." Yang Mi said sarcastically after closing the script.

Jing Tian closed the book and ignored Yang Mi, but tilted his head and smiled: "Are you surprised?"

Scary enough.

"Where is Xiaoyu?" Li Mingyang asked.

"I'm packing my luggage upstairs." Jing Tian said.

Li Mingyang said "oh" and felt very uncomfortable facing the complicated looks from Tiantian, Shishi and Mimi.

Two are easy to deal with, but three are really difficult.

Especially when peach blossom eyes don’t work.

"Are you free tomorrow? I've booked a goodbye show and we can go and see how you edited the footage I shot." Jing Tian said.

[Hey... Tiantian is the only one in my heart, so I let Tiantian be the director. ]

"Well, then you should rest early!"

"Don't you want to rest together?" Yang Mi said with a smile.

"I'm a little busy."

"Did you really have a fight with iQiyi and Penguin Video?" Jing Tian asked.

"You have to fight!"

When this matter was mentioned, Li Mingyang felt even worse.

"It's almost spread all over the circle that Gong Yu doesn't want to fight with you and is willing to stop fighting at any time and work together for a win-win situation." Yang Mi said unhappily, "What's the point of fighting? It's good enough for us to make money. Gong Yu also said that after the merger, you will be in charge of Bangzi. Even Baidu's Mr. Li supports it."

As the second largest Internet company in mainland China, Baidu has very little debt and a terrifying amount of liquidity.

Li Mingyang lay back and attacked Shishi from behind. He reached into the pocket of her jeans and started kneading and pinching her.

Shishi glared at him but didn't say anything to stop him.

Li Mingyang became playful upon seeing this.

She pinched it so hard that Shishi frowned and her face quickly turned red.

The snow-white swan neck is covered with a layer of charming pink.
