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

Chapter 583: The Escaped Master

Dunhuang Film and Television City.

Reba sat next to the fire, warming her hands.

The temperature difference between day and night in Dunhuang is huge. It is so hot during the day that you sweat, and it is cold and windy at night.

"Reba, big news! The top actress in Sugar Man is on strike on the set." Xu Sa trotted to Reba and whispered.

Reba exclaimed in surprise, and then asked the reason out of curiosity.

Xu Sa lowered her voice and told Reba the hot news she had just learned. Unexpectedly, the crew members nearby also received the news and started talking about it.

“I just don’t understand why this drama was made.”

"Just shoot it, and add a lot of passionate scenes."

"We didn't start our business by shooting erotic scenes, what are we doing?"

"Fuck! Master Liu is gone! No more filming!"

"Then the person behind couldn't be Mr. Cai!"

"Boss Cai wanted to suppress others, but he failed!"

Reba pricked up her ears to listen, and not only understood the reason, but also witnessed with her own eyes that Liu Shishi got into the car and left.

"Oh my! Big stars are so happy! If they say they don't want to shoot, then they don't." Reba put her hand on her forehead, stood on tiptoes to look at it, and said with envy in her eyes.

"Keep your voice down, we two are outsiders, just watch the fun." Xu Sa nervously tugged at Reba's sleeve.

The timing of filming for the drama The Desert Ballad was very special, as it was during the period when ancient costume dramas were being severely cracked down on.

If the costumes and makeup are not good, I won’t pass.

The modification is serious and I won’t pass it.

The plot is shocking, I won’t give it a pass.

Time travel, palace fighting, power struggles, and evil plots... none of them will be allowed.

This year, there is a severe crackdown, and there is a backlog of more than 50 costume dramas, many of which are well-made. Due to various reasons, either they have been approved and cannot be broadcast on satellite TV, and they have to pay huge compensation, or they are not approved at all.

The ancient costume market is filled with sorrow.

Tang Ren started spreading rumors in the desert when the crackdown was the most severe. Not to mention other people, even his own family members felt it was very strange.

The novel "The Desert Ballad" itself distorts history and smears national heroes, and has long been criticized.

This caused Tong Hua to be caught up in a public opinion storm for a while. Later, Tong Hua made some revisions, hiding the names of important characters in the novel and adapting the background of the novel into an imaginary era.

However, anyone with a discerning eye can tell what is written.

It's just like covering one's ears and stealing the bell.

Tangren was planning to shoot secretly, but no one knew who leaked the news. Many people in the circle knew that Tangren was shooting The Desert Ballad.

Therefore, Tang Ren had to start the project, and it took a long time just to start the project.

After filming started, there were constant disturbances.

First there was the issue of the script, which was opposed by many people.

Novels are novels, and TV series are TV series.

The script of The Desert Ballad is still adapted according to the values ​​of the novel. A large number of people on Tangren think that this drama is a failure and demand that the script be changed.

But Cai Yinong and Li Guoli insisted on continuing filming.

After the filming started, a lot of messy passionate scenes, bathing scenes, wet kissing scenes were suddenly added...

The scale can be said to be the largest that Tangren has ever seen in his drama career.

It is something totally unnecessary, but Cai Yinong said it was needed for publicity and the audience loves to watch it.

"Shishi, all the money has been invested. If you don't shoot, the project will fail." Cai Yinong rushed into Liu Shishi's room, exhausted, and began to counsel Liu Shishi.

"I told you not to shoot it a long time ago." Liu Shishi sat on the bed and said angrily, "Boss Zhao from Huace said your drama could pass the review, but she didn't believe him. Why did you insist on shooting it?"

Cai Yinong sighed. She also knew that The Desert Ballad would have a lot of difficulties in passing the review and it would most likely become a backlog drama.

In recent years, Tangren has been using Hong Kong and Taiwan stars to film dramas and promote mainlanders, and has been doing very well.

Hong Kong and Taiwan are being severely suppressed, and there are too many jealous people.

Many people say that Tang Ren is focusing on the mainland and wants to draw a clear line between himself and the Hong Kong and Taiwan circles.

So she has to sacrifice some of her interests and stand on the same front with the Hong Kong and Taiwan circles.

The Desert Ballad couldn’t be more suitable.

Tangren has long passed the point where one play will bring down the company.

Compared with production, Tangren’s most profitable business is artist management.

"Don't be angry now, start filming soon and finish it soon. I promise I will listen to your opinions in future dramas, but this drama won't work, so just bear with it."

"The script has changed. I'm not Mimi, so why should I shoot so many passionate scenes..." said Liu Shishi.

Cai Yinong patiently explained to Liu Shishi, but Liu Shishi didn't listen at all and pushed Cai Yinong out of the room.

There was no other way, Cai Yinong could only ask Hu Ge to do ideological work for Liu Shishi.

Liu Shishi soon received a call from Hu Ge, and at first she was able to listen to what Hu Ge said.

It was not until Hu Ge said that he was one of the producers of The Desert Ballad and would definitely not let Cai Yinong shoot the film recklessly.

Liu Shishi suddenly couldn't listen anymore.

After hanging up the phone, Liu Shishi sat on the bed and thought for a long time. She wanted to call Li Mingyang, but she was worried that Li Mingyang and Cai Yinong would have a conflict.

The three million US dollars she gave to Li Mingyang was an advance from Tangren on the premise of filming The Desert Ballad.

Although she made a lot of money in the first half of the year, the sugar man kept holding her back with various reasons...

Before she became famous, she didn't feel any financial pressure. The company paid her salary on time. She was just worried that she would not become famous.

After becoming famous, she felt a lot of financial pressure. She had to pay for everything, but the company was holding her back and refusing to pay her.

"Hey... who are you looking for?"

I took a look at WeChat and found that Mimi has almost become an emoticon package. She only knows how to send emoticons every day and can’t even speak anymore.

As they were rowing, Liu Shishi finally sent a message to Liu Xinyou. "Is Sister Xinyou here? I have something to ask you."

Although Sister Liu can be scary sometimes, she knows more than her.

Liu Shishi waited for a while, and seeing that the other party did not reply, she went to take a shower. After taking a shower, she picked up her mobile phone and saw that Liu Xinyuo had replied.

"Yes, what's wrong? Is there a problem with your relationship with Director Li?"

"No, it's just...company matters."

Liu Shishi thought for a while and told Liu Xinyu about her current situation in a very gentle manner.

Finally, I added, I really don’t understand why the company wants to produce this drama.

"Is Sugarman filming The Desert Ballad?"

"Ah."

"This drama has been exposed by Huace, but you still insist on filming it?"

"Yes."

"It's too difficult for this drama to pass the review. I don't know how many years it will take to be suppressed. Doesn't Tangren not suppress dramas?" Liu Xinyuo was puzzled.

"I don't understand...that's why I asked Sister Xinyou."

“How much does it cost to make a film?”

"About 60 million."

"It feels like Cai Yinong wants to suppress you, but 60 million is too much. The gain is not worth the loss."

"Yeah... the most annoying thing is that there are a lot of passionate scenes, and we have to kiss in the pool while wearing a tube top."

"So you don't want to do a passionate scene?"

"That's not the case... I just think it feels weird to work hard for a TV series that can't pass the review... Ms. Cai must have her own ideas, but she doesn't want to say it."

"Then don't shoot it!"

"The contract has been signed, and the penalty for breach of contract is three times..."

"Your agency contract is worth more than the penalty... Li Mingyang is doing very well in Korea, what are you afraid of? Even if Cai Yinong has ten times the courage, she would not dare to provoke Li Mingyang."

"really? Why?"

"You'll know if you go there."

"I didn't tell him because I didn't want him to worry... I'd better not go..."

"You can go if you want to go, and stay if you want to stay... You can't take care of everyone's feelings. Do you want me to pick you up?"

Liu Shishi was a little hesitant at first, but the last sentence made her heart move.

Early the next morning, when it was still light, Liu Shishi, wearing a scarf and wrapping her head, walked out of the hotel. She wore glasses and glanced furtively at the cars along the street.

After searching for a long time and still not finding it, Liu Shishi scratched her head and said, "Okay, wait for me in the car." Where is the car?

At this time, the mobile phone rang.

When Liu Shishi saw that it was Liu Xinyu's call, she quickly answered it.

"My silly sister, I'm right across from you!"

"..."

……

The Korean film market is amazing, with a huge number of films released.

As long as it can make money, it will continue to be shown.

Continue to make money and squeeze out the value of every movie.

All the records set by New World in Korea were almost broken after the release of Thieves Alliance.

上映3天就达到100万观众、6天后飙升至300万观众、8天后达400万观众，仅时隔首映11天达600万观众……

Record breaking faster than the New World.

This is the huge advantage of movies that are aimed at the whole nation.

This result is not only preceded by The Amazing Spider-Man and The New World, but also mixed with The Dark Knight!
This summer, the Korean box office battle is much more intense than that of the East. The Korean media has hyped it up as a battle between the two Korean movie heroes and the two Hollywood heroes, and the market is the hottest in history!

New World has been released for nearly twenty days, but it has not yet exceeded 800 million viewers.

Although Li Mingyang knew that it was still too early for the film to be released, he was a little anxious. He raised more than 4 million yuan through crowdfunding, plus the 1 million yuan that the Empress gave him, in order to boost the box office.

Reach 1000 million visitors as soon as possible.

After three days of pushing, Li Mingyang couldn't push on any longer.

Even though more than three million yuan was spent, the number of people mobilized every day did not change much, and remained at more than 200,000.

Not only did the number of screenings not increase, it actually decreased.

The cost of boosting box office revenue in Korea is too high. It costs at least 800 yuan for ten people.

This is when labor is free.

After the box office of New World reached 800 million, Li Mingyang stopped.

Having verified the difficulty of boosting the box office in Korea, Li Mingyang felt that Thieves Alliance was a bit outrageous when he watched it again.

It is worthy of being a commercial blockbuster that broke the record of "The Host" and topped the history of Korean films!

A fierce batch!
If Li Mingyang came across such a great movie in China, he would definitely give it a try.

However, Seoul Spring requires the booming Korean film market. Not only did he not let it down, he even praised "The Thieves" for being a good film.

He also forwarded comments from Jun Ji-hyun's fans, pretending to be Jun Ji-hyun's fan.

When Jun Ji-hyun learned about this, she was very happy. When attending an event, she publicly stated that Lee Myung-yang was one of her favorite directors.

This wave of normal operations had amazing positive and negative feedback. On the second day, the number of visitors to New World reached over 300,000 again after many days.

I didn't even have to spend any money, but just by interacting with Jun Ji-hyun, the box office came so easily.

The effect is better than swiping more than three million.

Jun Ji-hyun has a huge influence in Korea, her fans are really strong and are willing to give her a lot of support.

There are a lot of die-hard fans of Thieves Alliance in the 20th year, both men and women, of all ages, and even a man in his forties joins in the fun.

The Korean girl band was very powerful, and they went to watch the striptease... no, they were very enthusiastic about watching the performance.

It’s really not possible to get box office sales… I can’t do it.

This number of people is really quite sharp! It's too hard to brush!

There is a huge difference in box office appeal between Girls' Yoona and Seohyun and Jun Ji-hyun.

But there is one thing that is common, and that is traffic!
The traffic itself comes from Korean Wave.

It’s not that Girls’ Generation can’t perform, breaking three million viewers is a milestone, a unique milestone in idol movies.

"My Sassy Girl" is really too popular, and the traffic of the national goddess is too explosive!

Girls’ Generation has just entered the film industry, so it’s normal that their traffic is small.

However, these two will still have a bright future, especially Yoona.

Lim Yoona's "Extreme Escape" was a movie that almost broke 10 million viewers!
In the Korean film industry, it’s not that idol traffic is useless, but there are not many people who can leverage that traffic to drive movies.

"Seoul Spring and New World are both banned in the 1990s. I went there to hang out with female idols and get more exposure, but I don't think it would have much effect on boosting the movie's box office."

Why were Yoona and Seohyun able to gain a foothold in the film industry later? Isn’t it because their fans have grown up, their financial strength has become stronger, and they have many memories of the past...

Li Mingyang scratched his head in frustration, unable to find any good way to boost the box office.

"Boss, with your ability, it's as easy as eating to make 10 million at Seoul Spring. I just saw
I want to watch it after reading the plot introduction." Li Xiucheng complimented.

Ten million? I want twenty million!

Li Mingyang raised his wrist to check the time. It was already one o'clock in the afternoon. He left Li Xiucheng's office and drove his Mercedes-Benz to the airport to pick someone up.

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, Li Mingyang picked up Liu Shishi and the coveted Liu Xinyu at the airport.

Shishi is wearing jeans and a cartoon white T-shirt, exuding youthfulness.

Liu Xinyuo wore a white hat, a white suspender dress and a black shawl.

Bright eyes and white teeth, noble and cool, cool and sassy, ​​especially charming.

Liu Xinyu's temperament is quite suitable for the role of a young lady.

She looks a bit like Kim Min-hee.

But Liu Xinyu would definitely not act in an art film like "Miss", as she has just become popular again.

Even if she wants to, it won't be her turn.

Li Mingyang has already decided to give this movie to Kim Min-hee.

In terms of appearance, Kim Min-hee is not outstanding, even too ordinary.

But the number one witch in South Korea has little hooks in her eyes, which become more and more attractive the more you look at her.

That kind of coldness and charm, with the mature charm of a woman and the innocence of a child.

When we look into each other's clear eyes, I really want to protect and possess them.

In static state, she is ordinary, but in dynamic state, with a smile and raised eyebrows, she looks like the repressed lady X.

The most important thing is that people don’t mind.

Li Mingyang opened the car door and put the two women's suitcases into the trunk. Then he got into the driver's seat and asked Liu Shishi, who was sitting in the passenger seat, "Where are you going to live?"

"Let's go to the Shilla Hotel."

In fact, Li Mingyang really wants to take Liu Xinyu home, but it is not very likely.

Liu Shishi already knew that he had bad intentions towards Liu Xinyu...

We chatted all the way and arrived at Shilla Hotel, where we booked two rooms.

One is for Liu Xinyuo, and the other is naturally for Liu Shishi.

As soon as Li Mingyang entered the door, he reached into the back pocket of Liu Shishi's jeans.

It is petite and delicate, and feels great.

"Mingyang, wait, I want to tell you something."

When Li Mingyang thought that Liu Xinyu was next door, he didn't want to talk to Liu Shishi. He just wanted Liu Shishi to scream out.

The louder the better.

"Uh...you're abnormally hard!"

"It's normal."

Liu Shishi snorted, but it was just a snort before Li Mingyang lifted her T-shirt and carried her to the bed.

"I haven't showered yet."

“I like the original taste.”

Soon, they had a passionate love affair in the hotel's king-size room.

The only flaw was that Liu Shishi was biting the sheets and didn't make any noise.

At the last moment, Li Mingyang hugged Liu Shishi's slender waist, and Liu Shishi hooked his neck and performed a small Gatling move.

The bullets are exhausted...

Li Mingyang put one arm around Bai Shishi's shoulders and copied Shishi's graceful figure with the other hand.

What a beautiful painting of landscape and beauty.

"Honey, have you missed me lately?"

"Yes! Every day."

"Then I won't leave. I will stay with you from now on."

Li Mingyang paused and said, "I'm very busy. You will be bored at home alone..."

"It's okay. The stick isn't big anyway. Just remember to go home every day. And Xiaoyu is here."

"If you stay in Korea for too long, your sister Cai will probably come over..."

"She is Ms. Cai, not Sister Cai," Liu Shishi corrected.

"A conflict again?"

When Li Mingyang asked, he didn't expect Liu Shishi to say it, but she felt like she had the answer.

I never thought that Liu Shishi would say it directly.

It turned out to be because of the drama The Desert Ballad.

"The Desert Ballad, is it a novel by Tong Hua?"

"Well... Sugar Man has been targeted by Huace. Boss Zhao even came to me and asked me to tell President Cai that she no longer believes Zhao now that The Desert Ballad has passed the review." Liu Shishi said, resting her head on Li Mingyang's arm and moving closer to his arms.

The scale of this drama, The Desert Ballad, is quite large. Not only does it smear historical figures, but it also includes passionate underwater scenes with Xiao Peng. During the promotion, it was specifically mentioned that the director originally wanted Liu Shishi to be completely naked.

When Li Mingyang learned that Tang Ren was filming The Desert Ballad, he was stunned for five seconds.

He didn’t understand why Tangren still filmed The Desert Ballad.

The Desert Ballad is also known as the Big Rumor!

In the previous life, there was a bloody storm on the Internet that lasted for more than three years!
The combination of The Witch and Startling by Each Step made Liu Shishi extremely popular, especially the overseas influence of The Witch.

Any drama she films can be sold at a high price across Asia.

The ability to sell dramas is off the charts! Even better than Liu Yifei!
He really didn't understand why Tangren chose to shoot such a dangerous project as The Desert Ballad.

If it fails to pass the domestic review, it can be released overseas, but the punishment is extremely severe. Not only will the company be banned, but the people will be banned as well!

To be fair, putting aside the smearing of historical figures, "The Desert Ballad" is well filmed, a rare masterpiece of ancient idol drama, and Shishi's sacrifice is quite great.

This drama actually involves quite a lot of messy things, and Liu Shishi was also revealed to have been given a female melon.

Li Mingyang was not quite sure what the truth was.

However, this drama was indeed filmed secretly. Tangren likes to interact with Tangren fans when filming a drama, but there was no interaction with fans during the filming of this drama.

Of course, it’s not entirely correct to say that it was filmed secretly. There are a lot of rumors on the Internet and in the circle. Everyone in the circle knows that Tangren was secretly filming Da Mo Yao.
