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

Chapter 79: Feelings are feelings, business is business!
"Wait, you worked so hard and offended so many people to make a movie, but the box office ceiling is only 10 million. Are you crazy..."

"As long as I can make a profit by making a small investment, I am a film director. This is another concept, which you can understand as the evaluation of the industry. There are not many directors who can succeed in making a big investment by making a small investment these days."

"I'm speechless... You go find President Lu and I'll talk to her." Jing Tian had a headache. She had thought that since Director Feng liked the script and Liu Yifei was there, the box office would at least make 30 or 40 million even if the movie was terrible. She didn't expect it to only make 10 million at most.

It’s hard for her to tell her father about such a small box office!
"He's sitting opposite me. Mr. Lu, give it to me."

Snapped!
Jing Tian slapped his forehead hard.

Li Mingyang, you are sick! Do you really think Wanda is owned by my family?

……

Jing Tian was making a fuss on the other end of the phone, and Li Mingyang took the opportunity to talk about the screening schedule and showtimes, as well as the roadshow plan.

Li Mingyang is so professional.

Jing Tian is too noisy.

Lu Zhen was so annoyed by the two that he gave up resistance and accepted Li Mingyang's advice completely.

The three of them communicated for more than an hour, and the detailed plans were arranged. Jing Tian finally hung up the phone.

Lu Zhen sighed, "I will arrange your idea tomorrow, but I have to remind you that we will only help you this time."

Li Mingyang nodded.

He stood up with a smile and wanted to shake hands with Lu Zhen.

Lu Zhen felt annoyed when he saw Li Mingyang, but he still stood up and shook hands with Li Mingyang, just pretending to be polite.

"I believe we will continue to cooperate in the future, and it won't be long before," said Li Mingyang.

Lu Zhen let go of his hand and gave Li Mingyang a meaningful look. "Maybe."

If it were before, he wouldn't say maybe.

But after today's contact, he found that he had underestimated Li Mingyang.

He understands the rules and is good at using them.

His cunning is no less than Ning Hao.

If he had more talent, he would be the next Ning Hao.

……

After sorting out the film scheduling, Li Mingyang returned to school and prepared to start school from tomorrow. Good good study day day up, and make a good appearance at the Beijing Film Academy.

Unexpectedly, the next day, he received an unexpected call.

It was Liu Yan's phone call, but there was a man's voice on the other end of the line.

"I'm Wang Changtian. Your film is being reviewed by the Academy. It's only a matter of time before it passes the review. But President Han doesn't want to see anything that's detrimental to the development of domestic films, so your film will be postponed for a year."

"What do you mean by calling?"

"Someone is using the big market to pressure you."

"No, I'm just a student."

"What you did, is that something that a student can do? The most important thing right now is to attract big capital to enter the market. Harmony is very important. You are too jumpy."

After saying that, the person on the other end hung up the phone.

Blocking investment, blocking review, and blocking film scheduling are the most common methods used by the Beijing circle to deal with Hong Kong directors.

Many directors in the Hong Kong circle were forced to join Huayi in this way.

Even the genius director Xu Ke had to give in.

Li Mingyang has ways to deal with these three points.

But using the overall market to suppress him would be a real pain.

If it were anyone else, they would have given up long ago.

Be patient for a year and then return to the arena.

After all, every famous director in the country has a cooling-off period.

For example, the most famous ones are Director Tian, ​​Jiang Wen, Lou Ye, Section Chief Jia...

There is also Ning Hao’s no-man’s land, which has been tormented for four years.

Feng Kuzi also had two movies cancelled by the General Administration, and he went to find Zuo Shandiao crying.

But Li Mingyang can’t wait for a year!

Feng Kuzi is vindictive and will deal with him once Huayi completes its IPO. Even though Deng Chao was able to get Huayi's film resources after offending Feng Kuzi, Huayi was actually just waiting for an opportunity.

Once Huayi successfully goes public, Deng Chao will no longer be of any use and will be liquidated.

Deng Chao also knew that he could not make it at Huayi, so he left Huayi not long after Huayi went public.

Since then, Deng Chao, who was once in the Beijing circle, could no longer enter the Beijing circle.

"It seems that later on, Brother Chao went to Guangguang."

At the crossroads, the traffic light ahead was red. Li Mingyang lit a cigarette, took two puffs, and looked back in the direction of the Guangxian headquarters.

It seems that we still need to seek cooperation with Guangguang!
However, Guangguang is not a good partner. He is very good at cheating people...

After the millennium, every film and television company that cooperated with the Hong Kong industry has been tormented to death.

Guangxian is the only company that can suck the blood of the Hong Kong circle and make huge profits by cooperating with it.

Huayi can become the dominant force in the domestic entertainment industry, and Guangxian will become the new king in the future, and there are shadows of Alibaba and Penguin behind them.

Before Huayi went public, Jack Ma was the third largest shareholder, holding more than 10 million shares at a cost of 60 to 70 cents per share...

And Guangxian will also be part of Alibaba in the future... or it already is!

After figuring out this key point, Li Mingyang suddenly felt a chill on his back and sweat poured down like rain.

Damn it, he called me and it turns out he was waiting for me here!
The green light is on.

Li Mingyang suddenly figured it out.

The entertainment industry, after all, comes down to one word: profit.

As long as the benefits are big enough, enemies can become friends!
Feelings are feelings, business is business!
The light is not a bad idea, and you can also go to Huayi.

"But before you go, you have to save up your trump cards."

Li Mingyang returned to the apartment he rented last year.

Start planning and decide who to bring in.

"There aren't many choices now. Either Baidu or Penguin."

"If you're using Baidu, just go to Huace directly."

"Google will be gone next year, and Baidu's market value will soar, surpassing Penguin and becoming the Internet overlord in one fell swoop."

Although it lasted a short time, it didn't even last two months.

But during this period, Baidu, which focused on search engines, was really powerful.

Li Mingyang called Manager Zhou of Huace more than a dozen times, waiting from dawn to dusk, but the other party did not return the call.

The meaning is obvious: the other party doesn't want to have any contact with him.

"You deserve to be left behind! You didn't fight when you should have! Only if you really want to fight can you win!" Li Mingyang was angry at him for not fighting back.

He held the phone, thought for a while, and called Tianxian.

After waiting for a while, the call was finally connected.

However, the person who answered the phone was not Liu Yifei, but Aunt Liu.

"Aunt Liu, is Xixi here? I want to talk to her."

"She's sleeping. Call her back later."

"Sleep? Go to bed so early?"

“We’re in Los Angeles.”

"Well, Yanbei is 8pm, and yours is 5am."

"You calculate very quickly..." Liu Xiaoli said, looking at the two clocks on the wall.

How can it not be fast? My mom is in Los Angeles and it's very difficult to get living expenses.

More than three hours later, when Li Mingyang was about to fall asleep, Liu Yifei finally called back.

"Is your mother with you?"

"Not here, what happened?"

"I want to ask if your agency contracts are all in Red Star Wood?"

"What do you want to do?" Liu Yifei covered her mouth and laughed, "You want to sign me? Sure, there's no penalty in my agency contract, as long as you can convince my mom."
