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

Chapter 615: Spring in Seoul, the ultimate aesthetics!
Lao Cao, the founder of New Classics Media, entered the film and television industry quite early.

That year, after graduating, Lao Cao first devoted himself to the field of book editing and publishing, and often commissioned writers to write articles.

Before the millennium, Lao Cao entered the field of film and television production and married a celebrity wife, Gailili.

Around 2006, New Classics Media’s predecessor, Mei Jin Film and Television, was just established. Initially, it was just a small company with a registered capital of 100 million yuan, with Cao Huayi and Cao Yang each holding 50% of the shares.

It happened that at that time, the financial genius Wang Ziwen returned to China to start a business and became a partner with Cao Huayi.

In 2010, Wang Ziwen invested 48 yuan and acquired 48% of Cao Yang's shares, becoming the company's second largest shareholder and serving as CEO and president.

In 2011, the company was renamed New Classics Media.

Then Lao Cao started to take action, increasing the registered capital to 5000 million yuan in order to dilute the shares of other people.

I didn’t expect Wang Ziwen to be quite rich. She invested more than 1600 million yuan, accounting for 33.15% of the investment.

Then Wang Ziwen started to take action. Lao Cao introduced celebrities to invest, and she transferred her 5.508% equity to Lenovo Star, Huaxing Hechuang and other institutions and individuals at a high price of 9000 million yuan. At this time, the price of 1% of the equity was as high as 1633.99 million yuan, and the overall valuation of the company was 16 billion yuan.

Lao Cao got anxious and increased the registered capital to 16500 million yuan in June this year.

Wang Ziwen followed closely...

Lao Cao's plan failed and he is now worrying about how to get back his shares.

As an alumnus, Wang Changtian naturally wanted to help him when he saw an opportunity!
It’s just that Lao Cao was afraid of being cheated and didn’t trust Wang Changtian very much.

Wang Ziwen, the second largest shareholder of New Classics Media, became wary of Wang Changtian when she saw that you were alumni.

Wang Changtian’s investment in New Classics Media was not smooth!
Li Mingyang acquires Tangren at a high premium!

Finally, Wang Ziwen wants to cash out and run away!

The price corresponding to 27.64% of the equity is 16.58 billion yuan, which is more than ten times the premium.

But he acquired Wang Ziwen's shares more than a year in advance and became the second largest shareholder of New Classics!

"Although I am very happy to invest in Xinli, which makes up for the shortcomings of Guangxian, I think I bought too much..." Wang Changtian suddenly became worried and anxious.

"She wants to cash out and run away! If we don't buy all of it, she won't sell it!" Li Mingyang sat down, happily picked up the cigar on the ashtray, bit it in his mouth, and patted the contract with the back of his hand, "Now that Xinli is listed, it's not Lao Cao who has the final say, it's us who have the final say, he has to beg us!"

"More than a billion... I still feel like I'm losing money."

"If Xinli fails to go public, we won't lose money," said Li Mingyang.

Wang Changtian was stunned for a while, his brain worked rapidly, and he slapped his thigh, "Yes! Only if Xinli cannot go public can we make more money."

"We have already taken over Xinli and Tangren. Huace is in the same group with us. We have almost incorporated these leading domestic TV drama companies. FBTV will have a stable source of Dongda films in the future." said Li Mingyang.

"There is one thing I have to remind you. Our debt has exploded... My equity pledge has exceeded 80%. I have no money left."

"So fast!" Li Mingyang was shocked!
"Huace didn't participate. We have been spending our own money." Wang Changtian lit a cigarette for himself, coughed and took two puffs, and said earnestly, "The domestic integration has been completed. Now we are missing your role. If you can't become the vice president of CJ, all our efforts will be in vain. We will not have the final say in Guangxian in the future..."

"Who did you pledge it to..."

"You don't need to know this. Anyway... we can't lose this time!"

Even if they lost, he and Wang Changtian could still live well!
But after paying such a huge price, it was all in vain in the end!

What a clown! You will be laughed at for the rest of your life!
……

June 9, afternoon.

After Li Mingyang dealt with domestic affairs, he handed over Huashu Entertainment to Lao Wu, and took Li Ming, Xiao Ye and many key members of Huashu Entertainment and chartered a plane to Korea.

In the first-class cabin, Li Mingyang looked out the window at the Magic City that was getting farther and farther away...

I feel mixed emotions!

This time when I returned to China, I solved a lot of problems and also paid a lot of price.

Weibo has not been unbanned.

His mouth was covered by someone above him.

It’s not because of the fake mother-son situation, nor because of Cai Yinong’s essay, nor because of a problem with the stance.

I simply think that his influence is too great and he always makes shocking remarks.

Instead of holding meetings every time to discuss whether to block it, why not just block it directly!
His seal is different.

Only he himself knows that he has been banned from posting. His Weibo posts will be censored... only censored, not released.

Netizens thought everything was normal and thought he just didn't want to post on Weibo...

In fact, before returning to China, he just wanted to make sugar figures.

It’s just that China Film and CJ are pushing too hard, I can’t be a fence-sitter, I have to make a choice!

Originally, Li Mingyang didn't want to beat Feng Kuzi, nor did he think about betting with Feng Kuzi and having a rematch!

However, the box office performance of New World.

Li Mingyang suddenly realized that it was possible for Seoul Spring to attract more than 20 million visitors!

nationality!

The box office in Korea is anchored on national consciousness!
New World's box office has exceeded 1000 million, 1100 million, and may even break 1200 million!
Because the Koreans treat him as one of their own.

Ridiculous!
But it is true!

Jiang Wen said that he went to Bangzi to help alleviate poverty.

But the Korean feels that going to Dongda University is helping to alleviate poverty!

In the China-Korea Bouquet Plan, the Koreans who came to the University of Tokyo were basically forced to come... Salary increases were useless, there were simply not enough people, and some even ran away halfway through.

The reason why we were able to raise enough people is that all the participants are elites who are familiar with Korean entertainment.

This is the person Zhang Wei promised to come to Dongda, and he will have the opportunity to return to Korea to become a director in the future!

This is how we attracted a large number of talented but unappreciated Koreans with dreams.

There are quite a lot of paparazzi among them...

Li Mingyang was speechless at the time, but after reading the information sent by Zhang Wei, he suddenly felt that he had found a treasure.

Most of these paparazzi have been on film crews, and some have even filmed movies.

However, in the cruel environment of Korean entertainment, he was eliminated.

The trainee system in the film and television industry...a group of eliminated film and television trainees!

Korean paparazzi usually end up in a miserable state, which makes them sensitive, suspicious and insecure.

But he was trusted infinitely by the Korean paparazzi and was entrusted with his fate!
There was no doubt that I would deny it!
His influence in Korea has exceeded his imagination!

As reflected in the box office, New World was able to fight back and forth with the Thieves League, which was about to become the number one in Korean film history, almost two months after its release!
Among them was a paparazzi named Song Duyuan, and Zhang Wei specially recommended him to be the general leader of the Korean team.

This guy actually regarded him as the savior of Korean movies...

Especially inciting emotions.

Li Mingyang still remembers that when he was speaking on the stage and had just finished talking about Plan C, Song Duyuan instigated a group of Koreans to hysterically shout in the multimedia conference room, clenching their fists and shouting, "Loyalty! Loyalty!"
Almost every adult male in Korea has to serve in the military.

The passionate shout! The fanatical expression!
At that moment, he suddenly felt extremely envious of Quan Xiaojiang!

Have a group of followers who are willing to die for their friends! Loyal people!
Why worry about not achieving great things!

What if I am abandoned by the whole people? What if I am disgusted by the whole people?
The happiest time for the Korean people was during the period of General Quan’s dictatorship!
Who the hell has the energy to make trouble when they can’t even eat?
While suppressing the chaebols.

We have worked hard to promote industrialization, scientific and technological progress, and improve education to make everyone's life better, and we have also promoted urbanization and modernization.

This is the golden age of the Korean economy! This is the darkest hour for the chaebols!
You can say he is a tyrant, but he deserves the people!

On the other hand, look at South Korea today, the chaebols do not behave like human beings.

The lower-class people have been tossed around in such a mess that they can’t even eat properly, and they have created a kimchi culture.

Lost in the hopeless and endless competition, I have been working hard since I can remember, and have been working like a slave for the chaebols!
There is not even the right to resist!
Chun Doo-kwang was a tyrant, but he actually played the role of the savior of the Korean economy!

This series of policies was like a stroke of genius, which miraculously reduced South Korea's unemployment rate to 2.5%, and the inflation rate also dropped from a staggering 29% to single digits.

Many restrictions were imposed on the chaebols. If they didn't obey, they would be beaten. If beating didn't work, they would be thrown directly into the Han River!
Restricting monopolies, fair trade laws, criminal counseling, social purification, the Sanqing Education Team...tsk tsk, they're all for the chaebols!
However, all this happened under the American plan of "democracy and freedom", and Quan Douguang was driven out of office.

Bangzi drove them down personally and let them have enough food.

Supporting private enterprises, enforcing the minimum wage law, working hard to narrow the gap between the rich and the poor, and improving labor-management relations have resulted in South Korea's Gini coefficient falling to 0.2.

Against the backdrop of soaring housing prices, the implementation of a nationwide real estate information network has effectively curbed real estate speculation, allowing ordinary industrial workers to buy a house in the city with full payment after working for about five years!

Tangible benefits to people’s livelihood.

Democracy and freedom are the biggest conspiracy of the United States!

How many countries have been plunged into hell by these four words!
There is a female pioneer who promotes color GM and actively stands at the forefront of opposing the Afghan government.

She called on the people to unite and join this so-called wave to fight for freedom and human rights.

She stood at the front of the crowd many times, denouncing the president's "tyranny" and trying to cater to Western attitudes. Later, almost all of her family members were killed in the massacre in Syria.

The people who have gained democracy and freedom cannot even guarantee their lives without the free pie from the tyrants.

There are many examples like this...

The little mustache was even spurned as the reincarnation of a devil...

Li Mingyang held his head and looked at the vast and boundless sea of ​​clouds!
Being in the middle of this China-Korea storm, he has no way out...

Quan Douguan is a gambler!
He won the bet and became a tyrant.

Can I win?

No chance of losing!

Only win!
……

Bangzi is superstitious...

As soon as Li Mingyang returned to China, Li Meijin took him to a temple to have his filming started, his career done, and good and bad luck calculated...

As a result, something terrible happened!
Li Mingyang broke the signature strip and replaced it with another one...

I had to change three of them before I finally got a good result!
Li Meijin and others were shocked by Li Mingyang's actions!
Li Mingyang doesn't care about all that. He wants to go at his own pace.

What is the use of burning incense and praying to Buddha?

He is a man with a system!
The host scheduled the show to start on September 9. Li Mingyang disagreed and wanted to schedule it for tomorrow, September 16.

He's going to die!
It’s so unlucky, especially for people who understand Chinese!

Li Meijin tried her best to dissuade him.

Li Mingyang said: put yourself in danger and then live!
Li Meijin was fooled and agreed!
September 9th, Busan Hot Spring Cave.

Seoul Spring is on!
Hwang Jung-min, Lee Byung-hun, Lee Sung-min and Jung Woo-sung are the four best movie kings in South Korea.

Of course, Jung Woo-sung hasn’t won the Best Actor award yet.

Lee Byung-hun only makes a cameo appearance this time, as Kim Kyu-pyeong, filming Park Kaka being assassinated!

Lee Byung-hun's Namsan Ministers is a prequel to Seoul Spring.

Li Mingyang originally planned to shoot together!

The scripts, locations, studios, shooting plans...the preliminary preparations for the two films are basically all in place!

But it was too late.

Seoul Spring has exceeded 20 million visitors! He can become the vice president!
If you can't become the vice president, it's all just empty talk.

Li Meijin's gambling agreement is no joke. It is not an unprecedented achievement in the extremely xenophobic world of Korean entertainment.

He is not qualified to be the vice president of CJ Entertainment.

CJ Entertainment’s media influence is no less than that of the three major TV stations, and may even surpass it.

Seoul Spring is a film adapted from the historical event Double Twelve ZB.

It must be consistent with modern history!
The sense of age must be highlighted!
So this time Li Mingyang did not use the Four Elephants team, but an all-Korean behind-the-scenes team!

The Korean language proficiency that I got as a reward from Goodbye Explosion came in very handy!
Goodbye My Soul Mate has proven that the Sixiang team is unable to capture the era of Korean films.

It is better to leave professional matters to a professional team!
When filming New World and Gangland Intrigue, the team created by Li Mei Jin was the backbone of CJ, but it was just a makeshift team, which he could not stand.

More than half a year has passed, and they are still the same group of people.

But it is no longer a makeshift team, it is extremely professional.

Maybe I've come across a subject that I'm good at, a modern political thriller!

As soon as the script of Seoul Spring was finalized, the shooting plan, location selection, studio construction, storyboarding... became more and more professional!

In order to recreate the atmosphere of 1979, the crew of "Seoul Spring" had to come to Busan.

This is because there are no longer any locations in Korea where modern history can be fully filmed.

However, Busan still has some streets, walls, buildings, and scenery that are centered around modern and contemporary history.

It is based on a true story, and most of the main characters involved are still alive.

Although not on the surface, he is still behind the country, looking down on the people!

This makes the script very difficult to write and requires extreme rigor!
It certainly can’t be too documentary.

It must be a joke! It must accurately reproduce historical details!

It must have the twists and turns, thrills, atmosphere, emotions and texture of a commercial film!
The significance of Seoul Spring is far more than a simple historical review or commercial achievement; it touches upon a core proposition of political films: the reproduction of history and politics.

Seoul Spring is more than just a movie.

On the screen, martial law is more than just words; off the screen, the political narrative and memory still linger in Korean society.

Why is it worth remaking a historical event whose ending has already been written? What is its significance?

The power of Seoul Spring is not limited to telling history, but to creating a political narrative structure.

Between the presentation of details and the control of rhythm, a visual tension is created, making the audience's attention repeatedly shift between foreboding and suspense.

Furthermore, the visual reconstruction of historical events not only carries national sentiment, but also becomes a profound symbol of Korean society's willingness to face up to the past and dare to review it.

nationality!

The reason why the theme of Seoul Spring became a big hit in Korea is that this political game itself is extremely dramatic and traumatic!
In fact, Tokyo University is the best at this kind of modern and contemporary themes!

It’s just… those who understand will understand!
If it weren’t for that thing, In the Name of People would never have appeared!
Great shot!

Especially the protagonist Hou Liangping!

Lu Yizhen played the role in his true colors and brought it to life!
When Li Mingyang saw it, he was very shocked. The character of Lu Yi was so awesome! So explosive! How dare he appear...

If Life Deceives You, a TV series starring Lu Yi and Qin Hailu.

This is simply the prequel to Hou Liangping...

The Koreans have the conditions, and it’s not empty talk if they dare to write and shoot!

When it comes to genre films, Korea has always been at the forefront of the world.

Hollywood has been blown away by zzzq...it has regressed so much!
The zzzq in the movie is just the tip of the iceberg, the zzzq outside the movie is the most terrifying!

How can anti-intellectual operations produce works with normal IQ?
Whether it is a TV series or a movie, Koreans can compete with short dramas!

It has a lot of information, a fast pace, a group of characters, strange and bizarre characters, many twists and turns, and a tense plot!

The narrative logic of Seoul Spring is the essence of Korean political films!

If you don't understand the logic of this narrative.

If you follow the script, you will only end up with a dull and straightforward biographical commercial like the Dumpling Queen.

The Seoul Spring faced the national trauma with the courage of “I will go forward even if there are tens of thousands of people against me”, truly reenacted the national history and state of Korea, to a certain extent constructed the Korean imagination, and in a sense wrote modern Korea.

Good and evil in the film.

The ending in reality!

Nihilism!

The strong contrast and irony lashes out at every Korean who has seen it!

Take a broader view!

This type of realistic political film not only reenacts history authentically, but also inspires the democratization process in South Korea.

This is also why Seoul Winter ended so quickly!

Seoul Spring is not the first ZB theme.

However, it is the only 19-banned movie in Korean history that has broken through the ceiling of tens of millions of viewers.

This movie is essentially a Machiavellian movie of a similar kind, New World.

Just better subject matter!

The narrative structure is better! It's so ingenious!
It is covered with historical nihilism, mixed with violent aesthetics, color aesthetics and power games...

The use of oppressive visual symbols - blood, protest, repression, etc. - creates an almost suffocating narrative atmosphere.

At the beginning of the movie, there is a dull and heavy sound of footsteps, like the prelude to the power machine slowly starting up.

Soldiers in green uniforms moved towards the underground military base with precise steps.

The swirling shadows of the white car lights and the flashing red warning lights interweave into a cold and urgent code.

Before seeing the shape, the audience has heard the voice: "What happened on the front line?"

The soldiers' chatter and speculation seemed to be the externalization of the audience's vague inner uneasiness.

This sense of tension between sound and image not only quickly attracted the audience's attention, but also established the depressing and cold narrative tone of the entire film through visual language.

Everything suggests that power is gathering underground and history is turning at this moment.

This kind of visual language is not simply an aesthetic design, but a profound call to the violence of the coup.

In this narrative space, violence is not only a display of power, but also the collapse of order.

Through multi-dimensional visual elements, such as the flow and confrontation of light and shadow, and the covert perspectives of wiretapping and intelligence theft, the film extends violence from direct physical conflict to a structural logic of power.

For example, the film's tone has some distinct political implications.

The overall picture is mainly black, dark green and dark blue, but it is always mixed with faint white and yellow light.

This light color makes the whole picture neither obscure nor dull, but full of the possibility of fluidity and subversion.

The dark color represents the hidden desire for power, while the light color represents the marginal but earth-shaking power space.

However, this glimmer of light was gradually tarnished in the narrative of the coup until it was completely merged into the abyss of violence.

The holy fantasy carried by white light was ultimately completely destroyed under the crushing of power.

For example, the wiretap plot further deepens the abnormality of violence.

The audience not only witnesses the villain controlling the overall situation through monitoring, but is also included in this monitoring system in metaphorical shots and becomes an invisible accomplice of the rebels.

On the surface, the audience controls the plot as "insiders".

In fact, this "sense of control" is constantly disintegrating and gradually replaced by the uncertainty and uneasiness of the plot details.

The fragility of justice and the cruelty of power make the emotional experience fluctuate between safety and fear. This is undoubtedly a profound presentation of the aesthetics of violence.

For viewers who don’t know this history, the impact is even greater!

In addition, the narrative rhythm of Seoul Spring is equally sharp.

The rhythm changes from fast to slow, completing a three-dimensional portrayal of violence.

The film highlights the fragility of order through the chaotic initial situation.

The rebels quickly captured the National Defense Building, and the pace suddenly accelerated from a slow pace, as if it was a violent battle without bloodshed.

The confrontation between Li Taixin and Quan Douguang is coming to an end, and the plot is gradually easing, but this easing is more like a powerless compromise.

Justice came to an end sadly, and violence became a tool to restore order.

The rhythm design of "Seoul Spring" has a kind of zz logic.

From slow-burning to tense and then to relaxing, the film dramatizes political violence through precise control of images and emotions, making this abstract concept confusing between light and shadow.

This three-dimensional narrative method precisely reveals the essence of ZB, a power game that starts with destruction and ends with a false order!
