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

Chapter 638: Domestic Chaos, Pansidong in Seoul

"Domestic movies are doomed! How could a vulgar movie like Lost in Thailand have such a high box office!"

"The movie that the actors of 1942 spent half their lives to shoot is not as good as a low-budget comedy."

"1942 was given one star upon its release. I've only heard of people giving it five stars before, after all, there are profit motives. This is the first time I've heard of people giving it one star, and I don't know what their purpose is."

"The Chinese Zodiac is such a good movie, but it was pirated as soon as it was released. Is this the cinema's negligence or deliberate murder? Some people are greedy! If the cancer of Guangguang is not removed, there will be no future for domestic films!"

"Lost in Thailand is passable but totally unoriginal. Its comedy style is more interesting than Hollywood films from the 20s."

"Personally, I just like Xu Zheng more."

"It's older now, and looks a lot like a friend of mine, especially the look in his eyes. My friend is in jail for rape."

"Dongda Cinema is so embarrassing. What kind of movies are there this year? They are all old-fashioned movies. They don't seem to be keeping up with the times. Li Mingyang is awesome! He is innovative!"

Just when netizens were arguing the most fiercely.

Wang Changtian stood up and immediately criticized Zhang Guoli as a box office poison, saying that he was just complaining because he couldn't get the grapes.

He also said that he saw that Lost in Thailand was finally a rising domestic film. Lost in Thailand was a new chapter for Dongda Films, and it also reminded all creators that family-friendly films are what the public needs! The public doesn't like to watch films about bitterness and hatred!
Wang Changtian has been holding it in for too long!

As soon as Lost in Thailand became a box office hit, people immediately went crazy for it!
I have never thought about any easing with the Beijing and Hong Kong circles. I will just hit them one by one!
This crazy momentum made people in the industry think of a person, Li Mingyang, who created a Chinese box office legend!
There is absolutely no way out for myself.

Wang Changtian used Zhang Guoli's Lost in Thailand to lead the domestic film industry to failure. He then stood up and used the box office of Lost in Thailand to slap everyone in the face!

This was originally prepared by Li Mingyang for himself, but now it has been given to Lost in Thailand!

Lost in Thailand has transformed itself into the pride of Chinese language!
Yanbei, Huayi Brothers.

Wang Dajun looked at yesterday's box office list with a worried look on his face. Yesterday, Lost in Thailand had a box office of 6700 million, Chinese Zodiac had a box office of 6100 million, and even Life of Pi had a box office of 2710 million. 1942 only had a pitiful 510 million, not even a fraction of Lost in Thailand.

Lost in Thailand's box office exploded, Guangxian's stock price soared, and Alibaba and Penguin made a fortune!

With someone to back him up, Wang Changtian had no scruples and started killing people like crazy, without leaving any dignity behind.

For a moment, Wang Dajun didn't know what to do.

1942 was such a bad box office hit that Wang Dajun was too embarrassed to call Jack Ma...

"Mr. Wang, the number of viewers of Seoul Spring has exceeded 1200 million, and the total box office is almost 5 million... What about the bet?"

"What bet? It has nothing to do with Huayi. It's a personal bet between Feng Kuazi and Li Mingyang!" Wang Dajun was very disappointed with Feng Kuazi... so disappointed that he almost vomited blood.

Obviously, Aftershock had very good box office, and it was considered the annual champion that year!
Why doesn't 1942 work? We really put a lot of effort into making 1942! The preview was even better than Earthquake!

Huayi suffered a major setback, losing money and facing shame. Many investors were disappointed with Huayi, and its financing was greatly affected.

Several major projects that had been previously agreed upon have all collapsed.

If he was asked to pay to wipe Feng Kuazi's butt at this time, he would not do it.

"But Director Feng said you would compensate me..."

"I'm not his father, why should I help him pay for it? If an adult fails, he has to consider the consequences."

"Brother, I think we should help Feng Kuazi pay the money... He will definitely default on the debt and will definitely drag us into this, which will make the situation even more embarrassing."

"Shut up!" Wang Dajun slammed the table and refused to pay the money no matter what!
"1942 failed at the box office, but it will have no problem getting awards. Cannes gave 1942 a green channel, and it can participate in the competition without a world premiere. This film has a great chance of winning an award. There are also many investors willing to help and want to get a piece of the pie. It's better to have less trouble than more. As long as it can win the Palme d'Or, 1942 will be a big win!"

Wang Dajun shook his head and drove everyone out, including Wang Xiaolei.

Wang Dajun felt very depressed as he turned the walnut in his hands.

When 1942 was released, Douban gave it a lot of one-star negative reviews, ruining its reputation.

The propaganda campaign of Life of Pi was sudden and fierce, and 1942 was caught off guard.
Lost in Thailand was advanced twice in a row, with accurate predictions, overwhelming 1942.

The release dates of The Chinese Zodiac, The Guillotines, and Great Shanghai were all advanced at the same time, completely extinguishing the hope of a comeback in 1942.

Pirated copies of Chinese Zodiac appeared, and the only blockbuster that could compete with Lost in Thailand was harmed.

Jackie Chan was forced to gamble all his connections and replicate Li Mingyang's concert, betting on a billion box office!
Wang Changtian has many tricks, but these are the most fatal ones.

Bursting the bubble of domestic film pills and cheering for Lost in Thailand is just icing on the cake.

He has known Wang Changtian for a long time, and there are many things here that Wang Changtian can do.

For example, giving it one star, moving it up twice, and pirating it.

But the publicity for Life of Pi was paid for by Emperor Entertainment Group, and Jiang Zhiqiang suddenly appeared and planned it!

The release dates for "The Chinese Zodiac", "The Guillotines" and "Great Shanghai" were agreed upon months in advance. The fact that the three were moved up at the same time shows a lot of motivation behind this.

"Yinghuang, Anle, Xingmei, Bona, and Shanghai Film Group all took action at the same time. Wang Changtian doesn't have the ability to do that."

"Hey...it has to be Li Mingyang!"

"Don't think that I can't deal with you just because you are in Korea!" A fierce light flashed in Wang Dajun's eyes, and surging hatred echoed in his chest, and finally turned into action!

Less than an hour.

A short essay about Li Mingyang selling G for a reward appeared on Weibo.

The content of the essay revolves around Li Mingyang's position. The Blue Dragon Award for Best Director and the kneeling of the Koreans became the fuse, leading to selling G and winning the Cannes.

Unlike many defamatory essays, this essay is based on facts.

It's well-founded and many people in the circle know it.

But no one dared to reveal it!

With the joint efforts of the internet trolls and marketing accounts, the situation quickly escalated and became the number one trending search in less than three hours!

……

Dongyang Building, Seoul.

"Huayi is trying to divert blame, using my story to cover up the box office failure of 1942... Don't worry about it, just put all your resources into Lost in Thailand!"

"Xu Zheng has a good relationship with Dong Ping and Ning Hao... Guangguang's stock price has been a bit weak recently. I think it's time to sell it."

"We must be tolerant. As long as we are strong enough, Xu Zheng will not be able to escape."

"Okay, when will the stocks be sold?"

"No rush, I'm optimistic that Lost in Thailand will break Weathering With You's record... The day before Lost in Thailand breaks Weathering With You's record, sell everything!"

"The stock price is going to collapse again." Wang Changtian looked at the stock market curve on the computer screen. Every time it fell, his eyelids twitched, and every time it rose, he couldn't help but smile.

My mood goes up and down with the ups and downs, I am too addicted to the stock market...

“The happiest time in stock trading is when you are enjoying yourself secretly after escaping the top…”

"Haha! You're so right!"

"It's quite unkind. Sometimes I even hate myself, haha!"

Li Mingyang hung up the phone, moved the mouse, and started to check the domestic Weibo.

Weibo is a giant beast of public opinion, and public opinion ferments too quickly.

In less than a day, the whole Internet knew about it.

Domestic celebrities, big Vs, and filmmakers are madly attacking him, saying that his stance is wrong, that he only cares about awards, that he bullies the weak and fears the strong, that he kneels to the stick, that he has no humanity and kills innocent people, that he is disloyal, unfilial, and unjust, and they are criticizing him verbally and pensively, like crazy...

These are all the dirty water Huayi threw at him, using public opinion to bully him online and attract public attention so that 1942
Landed safely.

In addition, the media that received foreign sponsorship were also firing on all cylinders, fearing that he would return and forcing the higher-ups to give an explanation.

This is fucking despicable!
He couldn't go back, and his roots in China were cut off, so the best destination for him was to go to America.

Be the next Li An.

Using foreign powers to bully the mainland film market...

Unless he quits, this will be the final result.

Without the support of the country, once you enter the United States, you will have no control over your own affairs from the moment you land!

Democracy and freedom, these four words are the biggest lie of the century in the West!

Li Mingyang closed the web version of Weibo and looked through the documents in front of him.

The election is coming! Two days left!

He needs to do a good job in promoting the new Seoul Spring after the election.

As of now, Seoul Spring has attracted 1270 million viewers.

After 27 days of release, this achievement is already remarkable.

But there is still a long way to go before reaching 2000 million visitors.

The Korean film market will see a sharp drop after tens of millions of viewers. The audiences who wanted to watch the film have already seen it, and the next thing to do is to attract new and old audiences to watch it again.

The most annoying thing is that the half-price tickets are gone.

Seoul Spring has attracted over 10 million visitors, which has already reached the goal of the four major film companies. Continuing the half-price policy is not in everyone’s interest.

The half-price tickets were initially paid for by CJ, and later Rakuten and Sobao also got involved. When the number of visitors exceeded 9 million, NEW also joined in.

Everyone has a responsibility in the film industry...

"I underestimated the difficulty of 2000 million people..."

Li Mingyang scratched his head. If the half-price tickets can be cancelled, then cancel them. Koreans didn’t conquer the world by selling tickets at half-price.

Huayi put the Cannes dispute on the table and blasted him for selling G for the award!

Pushed him to the edge of the cliff...

He could have taken his time, and if he failed the first time, he could have tried a few more times until he got it!
And now... public opinion is overwhelming, and the higher-ups will definitely give him a time limit.

Time is up! Didn't get it!
Just like what Zuoshan Diao said, even if he went abroad, he was still in chains and they would not allow him to do whatever he wanted.

“It feels really good to be stabbed in the back.”

"It's a pity that Xu Guangtou got the upper hand. This guy is too cunning, even more cunning than Huang Bo. He is not a good partner."

"It's better to have a swallow. Swallows are really resistant when something happens."

"When will the mountain eagle come? It's been almost a month..."

The situation is not optimistic, but it is all in the future.

Let’s talk about the future in the future!

The most important thing is now!
If Zuo Shandiao can’t get a stick to support him, he won’t be able to manage his daily life!

Tsai Chongxin could only help build bridges and successfully enter the small-scale film market as a capitalist.

However, Zuoshandiao is able to use his power to counter the evil of his daily life!

With the original film in hand! In a fair environment, it is as easy as drinking water from a horse to get your name into the top ten of Xiao Ri Zi's film history!
As a student of Tokyo University, and with a 2D animation, leaving a name in the history of small-time movies is harder than climbing to the sky!

Stealing chickens is a must! Hegemony is also a must!

Li Mingyang was thinking about whether he should call Han Jianu and ask her to urge Zuoshandiao again.

As soon as he took out his cell phone, Jin Jaejun called him.

……

A cold and windy afternoon.

Cheongdam-dong, Japanese izakaya.

Li Mingyang sat on a tatami chair, drinking and listening to Song Duyuan and Jin Jaejun talking opposite him.

Through the two people's description, what the gangs were doing was presented to Li Mingyang in flesh and blood.

"They didn't listen to Zhang Wei, but instead integrated their staff to set up the Love House?"

"There are also glass houses and barber shops. They are going to enter the sex industry. The sex industry is the most profitable industry here. You may not know how much money it makes. Sex workers in Jiangnan District earn about 1000 yuan per hour. They can receive about 10 customers a night, with a daily income of over yuan, and a monthly income of up to yuan."

"But the vast majority of sex workers can only earn this income but cannot get it. The reason is borrowing. Most of them have borrowed money for various reasons and eventually fell into a vicious cycle of compound interest, which made it impossible to completely clear their debts."

Li Mingyang laughed, "I heard that there are a lot of student loans."

"Well, there is still a chance for these people to escape from the sea of ​​suffering. If they gamble or take drugs, their lives are basically over."

"What do you want me to do?" Li Mingyang said, putting down his wine glass.

"Tell them to stop, this industry is not something they can touch."

"Why not look for Zhang Wei and Li Xiucheng?"

"They can't suppress it, so you have to do it."

"Why do you think I can suppress it?" Li Mingyang said speechlessly.

"Can't you suppress it?"

"If it's as profitable as you say, a woman can create more than 300 million in net profit a year. Cutting off their financial resources is no different from killing them." Li Mingyang waved his hand. "I'm just an agent. Those chaebols are the ones behind the scenes. After all, they are all their own businesses. Wouldn't it be good to have some fresh blood?"

Jin Zaijun sighed, "It's not as simple as you think. Since you don't want to care, then just stay away from it."

"Hmm? Prosecutor's business?"

Jin Zaijun said nothing.

Li Mingyang looked at Song Duyuan, who scratched his head and gestured for him to go out and talk.

The two left Kim Jae-joon's pub and came to the back alley, where Song Do-won explained the Korean custom industry to Li Mingyang.

Li Mingyang listened for a long time but still couldn't figure out who owned this industry.

He can understand Americans, ordinary life, and chaebols.

Why is it also involving the academic and medical cliques...

"The sex industry is well developed, so adult products are naturally selling well. The concentration of W brothers in the Han River is over the limit, and the economic benefits of W brothers are as high as more than 200 billion won a year. And there are those student loans, which are all linked to each other. Oh, Director Li, you haven't experienced the sex industry in Seoul yet, right?"

"I'm not interested in that."

"You're afraid of being secretly photographed, right? I know there's a very safe area."

"Where?" Li Mingyang immediately became interested.

He was only concerned with going to nightclubs and looking for emotional value, and had never been to a place where real fighting took place.

"Bongcheon-dong in Gwanak-gu is known as the Pansi-dong of Seoul."

"I thought it was Itaewon."

"Director Li, you also understand! That place is indeed safe, but it's too high-end and requires membership. I can't go there."

"Hey, this is off topic. Who does the sex industry belong to? Aren't nightclubs considered sex industry?"

"A nightclub is a nightclub, and customs are customs. The difference between the two is huge."

"What kind of magic?"

"Director Li, do you want to see it? Let me make it clear first, you are not allowed to run away once you enter."

"Hahaha, are you afraid that I won't pay for you?"

Song Duyuan scratched his head. Li Mingyang said something casually, and unexpectedly it turned out to be correct.

"This place is closer to Tangshan Cultural Street, let's go there!"

"Cultural Street sounds boring. Let's go to Pansi Cave. I want to see if there are any man-eating spider spirits there."

Song Duyuan lowered his head and touched his nose, "Director Li, let's make it clear that you are not allowed to run away midway... You also know that with your status, if you go to a good custom place, the place must be cleared."

"Why? Wouldn't a private room be enough?"

"You'll know when you go there."

"Don't worry, I won't run away halfway."

After repeated confirmation, Song Duyuan drove his broken Hyundai and took Li Mingyang to Pansidong in Seoul.

On the way there, Li Mingyang finally found out who owned the brothel industry... No snowflake is innocent under the avalanche.

This stuff has to do with government spending.

It is also related to the US troops stationed in South Korea.

No wonder Kim Jae-jun took the initiative to talk to him.

Fengtian Cave.

From elegant coffee shops to street tea houses, as well as various hair salons and massage parlors, almost every shop here is involved in the sex industry.

A street of customs...

Song Duyuan wanted to show off, so he took Li Mingyang to a very famous store.

The place was booked and cleared in advance, with only service staff and no other guests.

Li Mingyang initially thought it was an exaggeration and that a private room would be enough. But when he arrived at the place and entered, he was stunned.

In the luxuriously decorated Chinese-style coffee shop, there are small bridges, flowing water, and ancient charm, and more than 30 prostitutes are busy.

Every woman has a tail behind her, a rabbit tail, a fox tail, a horse tail, a tiger tail...

Some even wear bells around their necks.

Then when these women saw him, they went crazy.

He was like Tang Monk who accidentally entered the Spider Cave and was surrounded by a group of gorgeous spider spirits.

Surrounded, want to run, all meat pads!
Li Mingyang finally understood why the entire hall had to be booked out. Booking the entire hall was the most exciting!
Lie on the human sofa and watch a row of young ladies dancing an restricted girl group dance on the table.

Especially the tail-swinging dance.

Swing the ponytail above and the tail below.

The visual impact was so great that Li Mingyang, who originally wanted to run away, stopped immediately, let down his guard, learned humbly, and learned more tricks.

He felt that he was still too conservative and did not bring out the best of the maid in his house.

He is well-informed in the country, but he has never seen anyone play like this...

Compared to this, choosing a concubine is too low.

"Oppa!"

"Oppa!"

A dozen or so female fairies knelt in a row with their backs to him, crawled backwards, surrounded him, and wagged their tails to beg for mercy, as if waiting for him to open the seal.

Li Mingyang rubbed his hands and was about to pull it out, but suddenly he remembered, these women are not sick...

As soon as this thought came to mind, the fire of fighting spirit appeared out of nowhere.

Li Mingyang tilted his head and watched. Every time he wanted to stab the monster, the fire of fighting spirit would appear.

What the hell is this popping up?

Is it possible to be immune to all poisons?
Li Mingyang didn't dare to try...his impulse was gone, and his desire to fight also disappeared, so he encouraged Song Duyuan to play.

Song Duyuan was already impatient and immediately hugged the woman and started to nibble on her.
