Chapter 577 Empress
Sony's largest shareholder is the Mitsui Group.

Li Mingyang separated B station from Huahua Entertainment and brought in Chen Rui, Lei Jun and SMG, just to cooperate with Sony!
If Bilibili wants to develop, the authorization of Japanese comics is the key!
Bilibili is a two-dimensional cultural circle that focuses on UCG secondary creation, and streaming media is only one of its attributes.

Therefore, piracy has little impact on Bilibili, and can even expand its influence.

But if you want to go public, you have to go with the genuine product.

No cooperation was reached with Sony, but Chen Rui and Shueisha did.

With very little money, I got the IP authorization from Shueisha.

The price of 200 million is like giving it away for free...

After hanging up the phone with Chen Rui, Li Mingyang felt a lot more relaxed.

The daily streaming market is one of the most difficult to enter in the world.

On the one hand, due to the stubborn hegemony of TV stations, it is difficult for streaming media to develop.

On the other hand, this book is about the anime kingdom, and the other contents are not useful.

Our own live-action movies and TV shows have all been ruined by anime.

A large number of unemployed film and television practitioners have turned to making romantic action movies in order to survive...

Then the output and quality of romantic action films improved by leaps and bounds, and the language of camera was improved.

The picture is beautiful and the sexual tension is full!
There are many high-quality romantic action films that are well-made, especially the special effects in suit dramas, which are better than those made by legitimate production companies.

Li Mingyang returned to the hall.

Deng Chao and the Empress both came back. Deng Chao had a red mark on his arm. He said it was caused by a collision, but in fact it was caused by the Empress beating him.

The family status is worrying!
But it's normal, the economic foundation determines the family status.

The queen was calm and composed, chatting with the little squirrel. I don't know what she said, but she was laughing happily...

"Director Li, I toast to you."

Yang Ying came to toast again, holding a wine glass. Without waiting for Li Mingyang to reply, she opened her mouth, which could swallow her fist, and drank half a glass of red wine in one gulp.

Li Mingyang smiled, raised his head and drank the beer in the glass.

As soon as he put down the glass, Zhang Ruoyun poured him some wine.

"That's enough, let's stop here. I have something to do tomorrow." Li Mingyang said.

"Tomorrow is tomorrow, today is today, and we won't go home until we are drunk. Come on, let's drink, for our friendship for so many years." Zhang Ruoyun picked up the wine glass and spoke with certainty.

"I've heard you say this at least eight times tonight. Can you change your words?"

"Emphasis, this is emphasis."

After Li Mingyang and Zhang Ruoyun finished a glass, they shook their heads and said, "No more drinking. It's only a little after nine o'clock. Let's go to another place."

"No need for that. I think it's great here." Zhang Ruoyun said righteously.

He was worried that Li Mingyang would take everyone to a real nightclub. His girlfriend was there, and if he put his eyes in the wrong place, he would definitely get beaten.

"I'll take you to the cinema and boost my box office. The damn Thieves Alliance is eating up my schedule, and the box office is growing too slowly."

"Keep swiping! It's already over 7 million!" Zhang Ruoyun said.

"I'm going for 10 million viewers! Damn, even though there's no piracy in Korea, the box office started to plummet after two weeks of release."

The disadvantage of a small market is that the Korean film market had a strong box office in the first two weeks, but then began to decline sharply.

In the first weekend of Thieves Alliance, the number of followers reached 89 on Sunday, but dropped to over 650 on Monday.

The number of people mobilized in the past two days has been hovering around 400,000.

The box office trend is very similar to that of New World.

And then, on August 8, Batman: The Dark Knight will be released on a large scale.

The Dark Knight was released in Korea on July 7th, but it was a limited release. The word of mouth was very good. It is another big hit and will be snatched away at the box office again.

Li Mingyang first asked Lao Wu to go to the manager of the Cheongdam-dong CGV Cinema, which was a few kilometers away, to negotiate for the reservation of the theater!
When everything was ready, everyone drove to the cinema.

Old Wu booked a hall that could accommodate more than 200 people and bought a lot of food and drinks.

Li Mingyang sat in the third row, with Tan Songyun on his left and Zhang Ruoyun on his right.

Everyone else has watched New World, but they mostly watched pirated copies...

I thought it was Korean subtitles, but it turned out to be Chinese subtitles.

"Why are the subtitles in Chinese? Do Koreans here read Chinese?" Zhang Ruoyun asked in surprise.

"It's like a special supply, mainly for me to see." Li Mingyang said lightly.

Zhang Ruoyun widened her eyes. Her good brother is doing really well in Korea!

When you go to the cinema to watch a movie, there are always special editions!
There are hundreds of maids at home, and we have fun every night, but no one cares. It's so... cool.

Not long after the movie started, Li Mingyang suddenly stood up, looked at everyone, and began to talk incessantly, trying to persuade everyone to help him increase the box office.

"In Korea, the box office is calculated based on the number of people. The ghost theater routine in China doesn't work in Korea."

"I understand your desire to help me boost the box office, but someone has to do it!"

"It's really hard to get this number. The supervision is very strict and it's very difficult."

"In Korea, the cinema chains are controlled by the four major film companies. If you and I do the same, how can we make money? Therefore, Korea does not encourage malicious competition or malicious box office manipulation."

"In addition, there is a fairness committee that intervenes and verifies based on the number of people. If you pay for the ticket and no one watches, it will only be counted as one person."

Everyone listened to Li Mingyang's nonsense, and just when everyone thought he had given up.

Li Mingyang suddenly said that he had found a solution, which was to hire someone to do the brushing, but the cost was a bit high and it was very troublesome, so he proposed crowdfunding.

Let him hire someone to brush it.

"Director Li is very wise! I'll offer 20 million Korean won!" Sun Honglei was the first to respond, and the price he offered was not bad!
Converted into RMB it is 100,000.

"Brother Honglei is such a righteous man!" Li Mingyang clasped his fists in thanks.

When others saw that Sun Honglei's price was only 20 million won, they generously donated money according to Sun Honglei's price.

"Director Li, although Xiao Ming paid the money, I also want to contribute. I will also donate 20 million won." Yang Ying was quite capable and stood up and said loudly.

There are many couples and spouses coming here today, and usually they just give one payment.

Yang Ying took the initiative to calculate the money separately, so it was difficult for others to give a share.

"Just give me some money, but if you want to give it to me, I can't refuse it. Come, Old Wu, go collect the money."

Crowdfunding must be done in person, especially for a small account like this. After today, it will be difficult for him to ask for the money!

Mobile transfer and cash are both acceptable. If you don’t have any, use a credit card!
In order to raise money, he asked Lao Wu to bring all the POS machines, three in total.

Zhang Ruoyun honestly spent his and Tang Yixin's money.

Li Mingyang set his sights on the little squirrel.

"Little Squirrel, do you want cash? Or wire transfer?" Li Mingyang touched the little squirrel's bare shoulders and said with a wicked smile.

Tan Songyun had a smile on his face, but he despised Li Mingyang in his heart.

I didn't even ask you for money last night after I stabbed someone, but you actually asked me for money. That's so cheap.

"My cell phone is out of battery, I didn't bring my card, and I don't have any cash." Tan Songyun rummaged through his bag and said with regret.

Li Mingyang turned his head and looked at Zhang Ruoyun, "Dayun, help the little squirrel pay for it, and I will pay it back to you later."

Zhang Ruoyun scratched his face and said, "Fuck, why are you two still distinguishing between yours and hers? This is not a trap set for me, is it?"
"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and swipe your card!" Tang Yixin, who hadn't paid a penny, urged Zhang Ruoyun to swipe her card.

Zhang Ruoyun smiled foolishly and swiped the card.

Although it wasn't much money, I felt very unhappy. It felt worse than if I had spent a million on my wife.

After collecting the money, the theater became quiet and everyone stared at the big screen.

It’s better to be prepared!
What if Li Mingyang asks everyone to express their opinions on the New World? There are more than 40 people. If you don't find some points to brag about, it will be embarrassing if others finish speaking.

We are all people in the entertainment industry, and we are all very clear about how picky and demanding Korean audiences are.

Especially those who came to Bangzi to promote their movies before, such as Huang Xiaoming, Deng Chao, Li Bingbing, Sun Li, Sun Honglei, Huang Bo...

Li Mingyang's best youth film, Goodbye My Soul Mate, has been on the hot search list on Weibo several times, and has received rave reviews and has a very good reputation.

However, it was not well received in Korea.

Not only did the box office perform poorly, word of mouth was also very bad, with a NAVER rating that barely passed, and Korean netizens were mocking and abusing the film.

Lin Yuner and Xu Xian, who were praised to the sky by domestic netizens, were called garbage and scum by Korean netizens...

Because of the poor performance of Lim Yoona and Seohyun, "For the sake of the Korean film industry, please don't make movies anymore, okay?" was also trending in Korea.

If it weren’t for the release of New World, which boosted the box office of Goodbye, it would have been difficult for Goodbye to break 3 million viewers.

There is no need to adapt. The first movie shot in Korea was nominated for Cannes. It is the first time in history that a commercial action movie won the Cannes Best Screenplay Award!

The box office was even more explosive, breaking various historical records in Korea. In just over half a month, it attracted 7 million viewers!

Li Mingyang is a unique director who can make box office hits in both China and South Korea. He is the first one so far!
Just take any one of the three major European universities.

That’s an international director!
Everyone else was watching very seriously, but Sun Li was the only one who was distracted and filled with resentment.

The reason why she lost her composure today was entirely because Deng Chao was dishonest and wanted to make fun of her.

He was squatting in the corner, waiting for her to get together with Li Mingyang, and then catching them and proving the fact that she was cheating.

After the seven-year itch, she and Deng Chao actually didn't have much affection for each other anymore.

She was caught cheating twice.

She was caught on camera twice! She paid to settle the matter twice! She posted the incident online twice and was the subject of much jokes by netizens!
She finally realized that Deng Chao dreamed of her finding a strange man and then having separate affairs like many celebrity couples in the circle.

Sun Li knew exactly what Deng Chao was thinking, but she refused to do anything. It didn't matter whether the man wanted her or not, she was determined to control Deng Chao!

She had already made up her mind, but the exciting phone call in the wedding room last time made her keep thinking about it and indulge in it frequently.

Every time I see Li Mingyang, I feel a special joy in my heart.

How about one time? Just once?
Director Li hugged me and molested me in the car last time. He must have a crush on me...

It’s just that there are too many beautiful women surrounding Director Li, and Li Bingbing has seduced them many times but has never succeeded.

What should I do?

Perhaps it was the effect of alcohol, but when Sun Li saw the little squirrel sitting next to Li Mingyang, she suddenly had a very bold idea.

She took out her cell phone and sent a message to the little squirrel.

The little squirrel took out his cell phone and saw that it was a message from the Queen. He tilted his head, a little confused, and opened it to take a look.

"Little Squirrel, is there something going on between you and Director Li?"

The little squirrel subconsciously glanced at Li Mingyang and saw that Li Mingyang had fallen asleep leaning on the chair. He moved his body, turned the phone away from Li Mingyang, and secretly sent a message.

Tan Songyun: "We are just good friends, don't talk nonsense."

The Empress: "Really? I remember when you were filming The Legend of Zhen Huan, your throat was always uncomfortable. Once you even lost your voice and were scolded by the director."

Tan Songyun: "I just caught a cold."

The Queen: "I also live in Lanhuayu'an. I once saw you and Xiaoyu coming out of his house together. Xiaoyu was very normal, but you coming out of his house so early in the morning seemed a little abnormal..."

Tan Songyun was shocked. Although the queen had always believed that she had slept with Li Mingyang, she had been denying it because there was no real evidence.

Tan Songyun gritted his teeth and was about to reply to the message to deny it.

Suddenly, the Empress' message came again.

"Hey... it's fine if he doesn't give you a name, but he also doesn't give you any roles to play. To be honest, Weathering With You is really suitable for you. You are much more suitable than Gao Yuanyuan."

Tan Songyun was speechless when he thought about this.

You knew that the movie which would become a big hit was given to an old woman in her thirties, and then this old woman who became popular again, knowing that you didn't get along with the Beijing circle, turned around and went to film with the Beijing circle director.

The top brothers and sisters of Huayi all came to Korea to congratulate, but the old woman didn't come.

The old woman is super rich now!
"Little Squirrel, you can't do this! Look at how good Zhang Ruoyun's life is. He has no worries about filming, and he has a lovely girlfriend. He is successful in both love and career. They are also good brothers, but you haven't even played the leading role yet."

Tan Songyun rolled his eyes and replied, "Don't worry about it!"

"So you admit that you had an affair with Director Li?"

"I didn't admit it!"

Sun Li's lips curled up into a smile. The little girl really couldn't help being teased, and her defense was broken.

"Lili, who are you chatting with? You look so happy." Deng Chao said, leaning over to take a look at Sun Li's phone screen.

The empress was majestic without being angry, and she glanced at Deng Chao indifferently.

Deng Chao instantly became obedient, not daring to act rashly, and turned to look at the New World.

Sun Li retracted her gaze, chuckled, and sent a message to Tan Songyun: "Songyun, how about I help you? I have a lot of notebooks in my hand."

"Forget it. The last few crews you introduced me to audition for, all refused to give me the female lead role..."

"Female second is also OK!"

"I don't even know what grade I am... and they said it was for your sake."

"It's okay. I'll take you to shoot some other time."

"Really?"

The Legend of Zhen Huan is so popular that it is being broadcasted on almost all TV stations in China.

Almost everyone benefited from "The Legend of Zhen Huan". Cai Shaofen became popular again, Jiang Xin became extremely popular, and even small supporting roles like them had no shortage of opportunities.

However, the biggest bonus goes to Sun Li, and the title of "Empress" has become her synonym.

The Queen is willing to take her to film a movie, this is a great blessing!

"I have conditions."

"What conditions?"

With the conditions in place, the little squirrel felt relieved instantly.

"How many times have you slept with Director Li?" Sun Li covered her mouth and smiled evilly.

The little squirrel was stunned. How could I respond? You know I have an affair with him!

What does it mean to get to the bottom of something?
Could it be?

The little squirrel covered his mouth and thought of a possibility.

Could it be that the queen wants to sleep with that heartless guy?
"What's wrong? Just forget it if you don't want to talk about it?"

After sending the message, the queen threw her phone into her bag.

She believed the little squirrel would take the bait.

The next three films that Li Mingyang will shoot are all major dramas. The young lady is going for Cannes! Most people don’t have the ability to take this script, and those who have the ability may not be willing to take it.

Show it all!
Seoul Spring is a heavyweight military and political drama adapted from real events.

The prototype Quan Douguang is still alive!
She heard that for this movie, Li Meijin and Director Li worked hard for more than a week to finalize the prototype of the character.

Witch 2! A female-led action movie!
If Tan Songyun could shoot it, he would have done it a long time ago...

Li Mingyang really doesn't give Little Squirrel a chance! If Little Squirrel wants to be famous, he needs to find a big shot to help him, and she is that big shot!

The little squirrel scratched his head and didn't want to reply to the queen's message, but he felt depressed when he thought that Li Mingyang only slept with her and didn't give her any resources.

She looked up at the heartless Li Mingyang and was stunned.

Li Mingyang was seen with a frown on his face, sweat all over his face, and his white T-shirt was soaked with sweat.

……

Maybe it's because I have too many things on my mind, maybe it's because I drank too much, or maybe it's because I sat for too long.

Li Mingyang leaned back in his chair, his eyelids drooping, and then he fell asleep.

Li Mingyang, who hadn’t had a dream for a long time...had a dream today.

In his dream, he filmed Seoul Spring, which was released at the end of the year and swept the Korean market, earning 20 million viewers in three months.

Not only did he get Toyo Building, he also became the vice president of CJ.

In March of the following year, Miss Finished!
Shortlisted for Cannes, witnessed by filmmakers from all over the world.

The eagle sitting on the mountain looked at him in astonishment.

Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaizi, Feng Kuzi, Jiang Wen, Jia Kechang... all domestic filmmakers were collectively shocked when they went on stage and won the first real Palme d'Or in their lives.

He became the second director from the mainland to win the Palme d'Or.

He recited his speech fondly.

The first sentence is, "The person I am most grateful to in my life is Liu Yifei. Without her, I wouldn't be where I am today."

“I am standing here today not because I am better than others.”

“It’s just because I work harder and persist more than anyone else.”

"Finally, I am grateful for all the injustices that have kept me grounded."

Thunderous applause erupted from the audience.

The next moment, a very cold voice suddenly came from behind, "Li Mingyang, have you ever really been grateful to me? Why did you treat me like that, tricking me into acting in a pornographic film and exposing everything... I hate you, I hate you..."

Li Mingyang turned around suddenly. The podium, judges, host... the abstract scene was distorted into colorful chaos. Only the naked Liu Yifei was clear.

"Hey...it turns out I was just dreaming! Expecting you to win a prize for playing a young lady is harder than climbing to the sky!"

"What did you say! That's enough! I don't believe you anymore."

Liu Yifei covered her ears with her hands, shook her head like a rattle, and her face twisted wildly...

"call……"

Li Mingyang woke up from his dream and opened his eyes. What he saw were Tan Songyun and Zhang Ruoyun, who looked nervous.

Tan Songyun's hand held his arm tightly, and he seemed to be awakened by Tan Songyun.

"I was scared to death, you finally woke up..." Tan Songyun said with lingering fear.

"what happened?"

"You were sweating a lot just now, the kind that you couldn't stop. It was scary." Zhang Ruoyun said.

Only then did Li Mingyang realize that his clothes were wet, his hair was wet, his face was covered in sweat, and his whole body was sticky.

"You must have drunk too much. It's okay. I'm fine."

Li Mingyang took off his sunglasses, stood up suddenly, laughed neurotically, and walked out of the screening room quickly!

The others looked at each other, all confused.
"Director Li, what happened?"

"Director Li is always weird, maybe this is genius!"

"Director Li has left, should we also leave? The nightlife in this Korean restaurant has just begun."

"I heard people say that things in Korea are very interesting and very profitable."

"Listen to what the Northeastern gang says! Haha, the master eats the meat, but the apprentice doesn't even have soup."
