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

Chapter 620 Illegal Fund Raising, the Future of Chinese Language!
As the person in charge of Yulebao, Gong Yu accepted an interview with the media and completely denied that the Yulebao model was illegal fundraising.

"The Yulebao model is not the popular "crowdfunding" concept. Crowdfunding projects cannot use equity or funds as returns, and project initiators cannot promise any financial returns to supporters. This is fundamentally different from the insurance financial products with expected financial returns that can be provided on the Yulebao platform."

In addition, the purchase terms of Yulebao also clearly state that there is no commitment to the principal and returns of the product, which means that people investing in Yulebao are not guaranteed principal or returns.

The investment amount for film and television projects is 100 yuan per copy, and each person is limited to purchasing two copies for each project.

"Yulebao is an entertainment gimmick with high risks. Yulebao does not guarantee returns. However, Yulebao promises to give each investor "entertainment rights", such as participating in film and television drama creators' meet-and-greet sessions, movie previews, star autographed photos, film and television props auctions, filming location tours, etc."

On behalf of Yulebao, Gong Yu gave an in-depth and easy-to-understand introduction to Yulebao.

In summary, there is no guarantee of return on investment or profit, but everyone can participate and have the opportunity to meet stars, attend preview screenings, and visit the crew.

The main focus is entertainment.

One hundred bucks won’t buy you any loss or deception, and it also gives you the chance to meet a celebrity.

Gong Yu said it very clearly, it’s entertainment.

There are also many people questioning Entertainment Bao on the Internet.

But in just three hours, Yulebao sold 300,000 copies and raised 30 million!

Among them, Li Mingyang International Fan Club accounted for the largest share, and not only invested the original 8 million raised into the One Punch Man project.

It also attracted tens of thousands of freeloaders, who followed suit and invested more than five million yuan.

Seeing that Yulebao has such a strong ability to make money, Alibaba, Penguin, Bona, Huayi and major film and television companies are all unable to sit still.

Yulebao is tied to Plan C, and crowdfunding funds can be circulated to Korea through the China-Korea Bouquet Plan.

It has long been no secret in the industry that Guangguang and Huahua Entertainment have capital chain problems and that they have invested in New Classics and Tangren.

Li Mingyang looks strong but is actually weak and has run out of money a long time ago.

Yulebao’s amazing operation is truly a timely relief!
With Yulebao's cash flow in hand, Li Mingyang doesn't have to worry about money at all. If he runs out of money, he can start another project!

Yanbei, Huayi Brothers.

"Brother, Li Houzi is serious this time, he has even come up with Entertainment Bao!"

Wang Dajun wiped his glasses with a fiber cloth. "Last time it was Cat's Eye, this time it was Entertainment Treasure... But Entertainment Treasure is a bit deceptive."

"It must be a lie! But Li Mingyang has a lot of fans! They are all voting for my brother!"

Wang Dajun put on his glasses, frowned, and crunched a walnut, saying nothing, as if he was thinking about something.

At this moment, the cell phone on the table vibrated. Wang Dajun picked up the phone, looked at the number, and immediately put on a flattering smile.

After a few "hmm" sounds, Wang Dajun hung up the phone.

"Any discerning person can see that this is a fund-raising fraud, but the higher-ups don't care about it!" Wang Dajun was speechless.

"You went to report it!"

"Don't report this thing, keep it for the New Year!"

It is difficult to make money in Korea. Li Mingyang was able to rise to prominence in a short period of time thanks to his huge number of fans.

He is the most popular person in the domestic entertainment industry and makes a lot of money.

"What about the Sino-Korean cultural exchange, what about Plan C? They are all paving the way for Yulebao. Now, he can absorb domestic funds in Korea. Damn, this monkey Li is too difficult to deal with!"

"Brother, he won't make a comeback this time, will he? Feng Kuazi can't stand it anymore. If we lose to him again in the second round, the company's stock price will collapse."

Wang Dajun shook his head. "The control in Korea is strict. It's not like in China where you can just do it casually. 20 million people is totally impossible. If he loses, he will lose 100 million. If he wants to win, he must win 300 million. He knows this account well!"

"That's right... it's really not worth it. He's just hyping himself up. Li Houzi is really good at publicity and promotion."

Wang Dajun said this, but he was worried to death.

Twenty million viewers for the 19+ movies, this record is simply a fantasy!

He didn't think Li Mingyang could do it.

But as long as Seoul Spring can reach more than 1400 million visitors.

He is the box office king in China and South Korea!
This honor is more sensational and more valuable than the box office itself!

Wang Dajun felt that the second match between Li Mingyang and Feng Kuzi was just a cover-up.

In fact, his requirements are not that high! He is just bluffing!
When others were staring at 1400 million people, he would have been successful if he had achieved more than million.

Li Mingyang has strong destructive power and grows fast. It is decided from above that Huayi Brothers can become the leader of the domestic entertainment industry!
Once Li Mingyang is recognized and promoted, it will be a disaster for Huayi!
Wang Dajun racked his brains, thinking about which direction to block Li Mingyang's cash flow.

If you want to succeed overseas, you need money.

Using domestic money to achieve your own great achievements is the right position!
Wang Dajun slapped his thigh and figured out a lot of things. He immediately couldn't sit still and was ready to have a good talk with Lao Jia.

The better Li Mingyang does, the more disadvantageous it will be for LeTV and Huayi.

Both companies rely on celebrities to maintain their reputation.

Huayi still has the basic business of movies, while LeTV is all empty promises and has little appeal to celebrities.

It's the same empty promises and the same big lies.

Li Mingyang is much more reliable than Lao Jia...

Even if Wang Dajun was asked to choose, he would definitely choose Li Mingyang and not Lao Jia!

As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Wang Dajun is willing to cooperate with LeTV.

Lao Jia naturally welcomed it very much and specially opened a bottle of 82 Lafite to celebrate.

However, before the two could be happy for too long, shocking bad news arrived!
Alibaba, the big money sponsor behind the two, reached a cooperation with Huahua Entertainment to launch Taoyubao.

The operating framework of Taoyubao is exactly the same as that of Yulebao!
Even the film and television projects invested in are the same!

When Wang Dajun and Lao Jia heard the bad news, their faces turned pale.

With Baidu and Alibaba as the two giants, Li Mingyang's external capital flow is as stable as the sea and cannot be changed!

"Mr. Jia, I have something else to do. Let's stop here for today." Wang Dajun put down the red wine glass he had picked up and couldn't drink it anymore.

"These are all small matters. Li Mingyang can't come back. If you and I join forces, we can accomplish great things. Let's toast!" Lao Jia held two wine glasses in his hands and handed one to Wang Dajun forcefully.

If you don't want to drink it, I'll force it into your mouth.

Wang Dajun's face turned pale, and he took the wine glass reluctantly, regretting it so much that his intestines turned green.

If you can't deal with Li Mingyang.

There is no benefit at all for Huayi to cooperate with Lao Jia!

……

On the evening of October 2012, 10, the 30th Daejong Awards ceremony was held at the KBS TV studio in Yeouido, Seoul, South Korea.

The Grand Bell Film Awards is a film award administered by the Korean government.

As one of the three major Korean film awards, the Daejong Film Awards has a far greater influence than the Busan Film Festival.

On the opening red carpet, there were a lot of familiar stars.

Lee Myung-yang was also invited to attend and walked the red carpet with Kim Go-eun and Lee Byung-hun.

The R-rated drama Eun-gyo made Kim Go-eun the hottest new star in Korea this year.

She has won five prestigious Best New Actress awards.

And tonight's Grand Bell Award for Best New Actress also belongs to her.

The big clock is a bit...

After Li Mingyang walked the red carpet, she found out that Kim Go-eun won the Best New Actress award, and the organizer directly notified her of the award.

And he also won the Best Screenplay Award, just one...

No surprise at all!

Lee Byung-hun won the Best Actor Award.

Because of this operation by the organizer of the Daejong Awards, an accident occurred.

Having previously won the highest honor "Golden Lion Award" at the Venice Film Festival, director Kim Ki-duk of "Pieta" attended the red carpet ceremony before the award ceremony.

On the red carpet, director Kim Ki-duk was smiling and looked in good spirits.

Not long after the award ceremony started, this guy left the stage halfway. PD Kim Soon-mo, who accepted the award on his behalf, said that Director Kim Ki-duk left early due to illness.

Judging from the award results, "Pietà" was originally a favorite for this year's Grand Bell Awards.

In the end, the film won two awards: the lead actress Zhao Minxiu won the Best Actress Award, and Kim Ki-duk won the Special Jury Award.

This kind of award is a consolation prize.

Kim Ki-duk didn't give any face and didn't even bother to receive it, protesting against the injustice!
This year's Grand Bell Awards are really outrageous. It's not really the Grand Bell Awards, it's simply the Gwanghae Awards.

The film won 15 awards, including Best Editing, Cinematography, Lighting, and Costumes, which was a big win for the main theme! It became the film with the most awards in the history of the Grand Bell Awards.

In sharp contrast to "The King's Avatar" which won 15 awards, this year's highly acclaimed films such as "Broken Arrow", "Architecture ", "War on Crime", "Invasion of the Iron Floss", "The Thieves", "All About My Wife", and "The Crucible" all failed to win any awards.

Li Mingyang's New World finally picked up a best screenwriter.

Gwanghae Award, quite a few firsts.

It was also the first time that Lee Byung-hun won the Grand Bell Award. He was very excited and shed tears when he won the award, because by winning the Grand Bell Award, he has won all three major award-winning actor awards.

I've been waiting for more than ten years!

In addition, it was the first time that awards were given to foreigners.

Prior to this, the Grand Bell Awards, as a hall of fame for Korean films, had never awarded the award to non-local filmmakers, and the newly established Special Contribution Award for International Film did not appear in the previously released nomination list.

Therefore, Zhang Yimou's arrival became a surprise on the night of the award ceremony.

As for Li Mingyang, that was the biggest surprise.

Many people thought that he would get nothing, but unexpectedly he won the award.

After the award ceremony, Li Mingyang was invited to the dinner, where he sat with Zhang Yimou. The two were not the only two Dongda people, Zhang Yimou was accompanied by quite a few people, and they just praised each other's business.

"Director Zhang, congratulations!"

"Director Li, congratulations to you all."

The two exchanged pleasantries and then stopped talking.

One is one of the three leading directors in mainland China and a national master-level figure. He was invited to participate in the Grand Bell Awards to promote film and cultural exchanges between China and South Korea.

The other is a rising star who became famous domestic and has roots in Korea.

He is the first mainland filmmaker to develop his career in Korea.

One is the first in awards, the other is the first in box office, and there is a competition between the two.

But it’s different from Feng Kuazi’s tense and violent fight.

Li Mingyang and Zhang Yimou do not interfere with each other.

It is rarely commented on by the media. After all, Li Mingyang only has box office results, whether it is artistic reputation or overseas influence.

They are all far away from Zhang Yimou.

When Li Mingyang thought of what Zuoshandiao said at the exchange meeting, he realized that his artistic achievements were so far away from those of Lao Mouzi!

Especially now that it’s been 12 years… Even in Korea it’s hard to get into the top three in Europe, let alone the Oscars!
The domestic market simply stops pursuing this and rushes forward savagely on the road to commercialization!

Public opinion also focuses on the box office, not the art. When the box office is no longer good, people start talking about art again, and the major domestic awards have become the focus of domestic entertainment.

The competition for prizes has begun.

A director who has won awards will always have a way to make a living.

If no one invests in movies, you can still make TV series.

"Director Li, has your Seoul Spring been scheduled?" Zhang Yimou suddenly asked.

"It's settled, Double 12 this year." Li Mingyang said while eating.

"The theme of Seoul Spring is very good, and it is a good choice for Cannes."

"Using the dark history of another country to go to Cannes is just looking for dark history for yourself." Li Mingyang turned his head and glanced at Zhang Yimou.

Zhang Yimou smiled and said, "Director Li, you just have too many ideas. When it comes to winning awards, it is a taboo to look ahead and behind. If it works, it works. If it doesn't, it doesn't. There is only one answer."

Li Mingyang looked at Lao Mouzi in surprise.

Zhang Yimou can be said to be the first person in Asia to compete for awards, and Li An has more or less benefited from Zhang Yimou's role as a judge.

“Seoul Spring is very suitable for the Berlin Film Festival, but if you want to win Cannes, you can’t go to the other two film festivals. The three major film festivals are in competition. You have to show your sincerity and let Cannes treat you as one of their own. Only people who are their own can be treated fairly.”

"The essence of all film festivals is profit. Film festivals are for selling films. As the world's largest film sales market, the three major European festivals can only ensure their status in the film sales market by attracting more influential filmmakers."

"The Oscars and the European Big Three are not a whole, and the competition within the European Big Three is also very fierce. Just find the right point and go for it."

"Excellent movies, the beast of desire, huge PR fees, plus you are a newcomer on the world stage, so only by accepting you can you get a bigger film market."

"In fact, your chances of winning the Cannes Film Festival in the country are much higher than in Korea."

"Have you ever wondered why New World, a commercial action film, could win the Best Screenplay Award, which is more artistic?"

Li Mingyang had stopped thinking about this question, but when Lao Mouzi asked, his curiosity was immediately aroused, "Why?"

Zhang Yimou smiled and said, "Because you are the future of Chinese-language films..."

……

"Director Zhang, take care. We'll have a good reunion sometime."

"Okay, okay."

Li Mingyang and Zhang Yimou shook hands and said goodbye in the parking lot.

Zhang Yimou's The Return is about to start filming, and he will return to China tonight to continue preparing for the film.

And this movie is exactly what he will be attending Cannes next year.

Zhang Yimou has made no secret of his ambition to win the three major European Grand Slams.

This is also his last attempt at Cannes.

In his last ambition of winning the Palme d’Or, Zhang Yimou was very happy and excited to compete with Li Mingyang on the same stage. His cloudy eyes suddenly lit up because of anticipation!
For a filmmaker, the European Big Three are a kind of honor, the honor of art.

This is the historical accumulation of the most outstanding group of people in the world cinema.

Of course you should give it a try if you can!
"Next year's Cannes will be interesting, but it's a pity that Brother Kaizi is not here, otherwise we would have been wiped out!" Li Mingyang grinned, waved his hand and watched the car that Lao Mouzi was in drive away.

"Don't think about Cannes, the box office of Seoul Spring is our top priority." A cold voice sounded behind him.

Li Mingyang turned around and glanced at the cold Zhang Wei.

The publicity and post-production were going on at the same time, and there was a lot to do. He originally wanted to call Zhong Xiaoyu back to be his assistant.

He can work and do things well.

Who knew that Zhang Wei volunteered to take on the job of assistant, following him around 24 hours a day and arranging his schedule in every detail.

It's pure waste of talent.

Li Mingyang wanted her to go back and manage Huahua Technology.

Zhang Wei said that Seoul Spring failed and FBTV was also finished...

Li Mingyang and Zhang Wei got in the car. On the way back to Chengbeidong, Zhang Wei opened her notebook and told Li Mingyang about tomorrow's itinerary.

Tomorrow he will go to the TV station to promote his music with Park Xingxing. He is back again.

Park Xingxing has a lot of older fans, so we can promote him.

Idols like Girls' Generation are not of much help to his movie, as their fans are too young... they are not potential audiences for Seoul Spring.

Li Mingyang was reluctant to be on the same stage with Park Xingxing, but when it came to a life-and-death battle, he had to unite all available resources.

Songs...

Korean version of Little Apple!
There is also a new girl group launched by JYP this year to help with the singing.

This guy particularly likes to sing and dance with his girl group... Let's talk about attracting traffic, he dances so seductively and shamelessly that everyone else just acts as a foil.

"He attaches great importance to this cooperation and said that you are the main person in charge," said Zhang Wei.

"This is complete nonsense. I don't even know what dance to do. Why is I the main focus? He just wants to be in the spotlight." Li Mingyang said while holding his mobile phone and reading Korean entertainment news.

"He just likes to show off. He doesn't have much ill will towards us. He is the most sincere in cooperating with us. He keeps clear accounts and distributes money on time. The other two companies are either cheating or blackmailing us."

As they have been inseparable for the past few days, Li Mingyang discovered that Zhang Wei was still eyeing up the idol group.

Idol groups really make money...

It turns out that Li Mingyang's understanding of girl groups was one-sided. The idol group can become a symbol of Korean Wave and sweep the world. The interests involved behind it are beyond imagination.

"So I gave Park Xingxing a chance to work with me once."

"Would you like to arrange a dinner after the promotion?"

"I want to laugh when I think of him, but forget it."

Zhang Wei hummed, and the cell phone in the side pocket of her suit rang. She took out the phone, took a look, and answered the call.

"Yeah, don't worry, let them get off work first... I'll be back soon."

Li Mingyang thought to himself that something was wrong again.

"The power outage in Toyo Building...we need to go back to the company."

"Power outage?! Are you kidding me?"

"No kidding." Zhang Wei said coldly.

……

Ever since Li Mingyang came to Korea to develop his career, he has suffered a lot in streaming media.

The development of girl groups is not favorable.

Everything has been going smoothly in the film industry.

tonight!

Looking at the Toyo Building blending into the night and experiencing a power outage!

Li Mingyang felt unprecedented pressure for the first time in Korea!
Toyo Building is the headquarters of Flower CJ.

The later part of Seoul Spring was produced in Dongyang Building.

There's a power outage now and nothing can be done!

There were hundreds of people standing outside the building.

The power company said that power will be restored tomorrow, but it did not guarantee that there will be no power outages in the future!
A black car stopped by the roadside. Li Meijin got out and came to Li Mingyang. Looking at the dark Dongyang Building, she frowned and asked, "How long has the power been out?"

"More than four hours." said Zhang Wei.

"Who did this?" Li Mingyang asked.

Li Meijin did not answer immediately, but pulled Li Mingyang to the other side of the street, where there was no one around, and then asked, "How long will the late Seoul Spring last?"

"It will probably take about ten days."

"Finish the production of Seoul Spring first. This place is no longer suitable for post-production... Move the computers and people to CJ Entertainment for post-production."

"Who did it?" Li Mingyang asked again.

Li Meijin sighed, "The power outage lasted so long, it can only be the government department."

"This is possible..." Li Mingyang said speechlessly, "What on earth have you done? Why are you being targeted like this? Can this movie still be released?"

"This kind of warning is normal. It's just a power outage here. I often go to the Blue House recently... and sit there all day long."
