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

Chapter 558 You can lose, you can die, but you can’t surrender!
Li Mingyang felt that something seemed to be wrong with his "Goodbye My Soul Mate". The comedy effect in the beginning was too prominent, which made the ending too tragic.

After the premiere, many people left crying.

The four girls also cried loudly...

After the show, Yoona and Seohyun were taken away by their agents.

The two girls are so busy! During the ten days of promotion, whenever they have free time, they go to Xiao Ri to meet up with the team, catch up on announcements, and go dancing.

We flew back and forth three times.

"Oppa, you are so awesome. This movie is actually like this. It's different from the storyboard of the comics!" Kim Go-eun complimented.

"Mingyang Oppa, don't I have too few scenes... almost all of them were cut." Kim Ji-won said in English. She grew up in her grandmother's house in America when she was a child and returned to Korea at the age of fourteen. Her English is quite good.

Lee Kwang Soo is grinning beside him. He had so many scenes! Almost all of them are preserved.

When the two Jins saw Lee Kwang-soo grinning foolishly, they were so furious that if there hadn't been so many people around, they would have hit him directly.

After the last time they were tricked into an audition at the hotel, the four girls’ impression of Li Mingyang grew rapidly.

In the Korean entertainment circle where people are often asked to drink and sleep with others, it is very rare to find an upright and good person like Li Mingyang.

In addition, with the luxurious lineup of maids in the house, the four girls gave up their improper intentions.

Without so many evil thoughts, as friends, the four girls found that Mingyang Oppa had no airs at all, they could act coquettishly, speak frankly, and was very easy-going.

When it comes to just mentioning cooperation again, Mingyang Oppa is very perfunctory.

At this time, the staff came over and guided Li Mingyang and his group to leave through the back door.

In the alley at the back door, everyone waved goodbye to each other. Li Mingyang got into his car and immediately called Li Meijin.

I learned that the other party was attending a cocktail party at Shilla Hotel.

Li Mingyang patted the driver's seat and said to Li Xiucheng, "Go to Shilla Hotel."

"okay."

Half an hour later, Li Mingyang appeared at the Shilla Hotel and waited in the lounge for more than ten minutes before he saw Li Meijin.

Li Mingyang succinctly expressed his concerns and the destructiveness of iQiyi and Penguin to the TV station.

What’s strange is that when someone challenged her position and destroyed the Korean entertainment system, Lee Mi Jin remained indifferent and instead advised him to be more open-minded.

"They are here because of you. If the three major TV stations compromise, they can basically not be stopped... Let's just focus on making the movie and not worry about it."

"How can we just ignore this? It's like boiling a frog in warm water! It will be too late if we don't do anything about it. President Li, I know you will have a way, right?" Li Mingyang said hurriedly.

"Director Li, you've been in Korea for almost half a year. Have you ever calculated how much money you've lost?"

"well enough……"

"You invested at least 2000 billion won and owe 700 billion won... and FBTV has only made 100 billion won at most in the past few months. With such a huge gap, you are still willing to persist. What else can I do?"

"We are allies! I have never broken the rules, but iQiyi and Penguin are different."

Li Meijin smiled bitterly, "Listen to me, stop the development of FBTV for a while, and let's focus on making movies. Time is on your side, isn't it?"

No matter how Li Mingyang tried to persuade her, Li Meijin just refused to leave.

"Well, since you don't want to take care of it, I'll fight it myself."

"You only have two months. If you don't have enough money, I can lend it to you."

Li Mingyang was speechless. If you don't do it yourself, you can lend me money to do it.

What is going on?

You're attacking iQiyi and Penguin, it's just like playing!

Money? No matter how rich you are, how can you be richer than Baidu and Penguin?
Baidu and Penguin haven't made any efforts yet! The centers are all in Dongda!

The stick only uses a small part of the resources.

What I want is power!

Li Meijin looked at Li Mingyang's departing back, the helplessness and decadence in her eyes disappeared, replaced by an extremely complicated look.

She was looking forward to Li Mingyang giving her a surprise.

At the same time, he was worried that if Li Mingyang lost the fight, he would become depressed and unable to concentrate on making the movie.

Sometimes, Li Meijin was really curious about what Li Mingyang was thinking.

Li Mingyang's ability to make money is unquestionable. Whether he is singing, filming, directing, or just endorsing, with his influence in Asia, he can earn at least hundreds of millions a year.

But he doesn't do what he is best at, and most of his attention is focused on streaming media.

The streaming media industry is a hell of a place, and copyright is too expensive.

It cannot be said that film copyrights are useless, but they are not very useful.

Streaming media makes money mainly from TV series. The copyrights of old dramas can only maintain basic operations. If you want to make money, you must rely on new dramas!
There is no problem for Li Mingyang to shoot Korean dramas, but the shooting cycle of Korean dramas and the market profitability make it difficult for him to shoot a top Asian hit drama like "Autumn in My Heart".

The revenue from streaming in Korea is not that high.

It’s far less profitable than filming TV series in the mainland.

The benefits and efforts are completely out of proportion.

Li Meijin felt that Li Mingyang had fallen into a bottomless pit. The more he struggled, the deeper he sank and the more he lost.

However, youth is the greatest asset.

Li Mingyang can afford to lose.

……

The long conversation with Li Meijin not only failed to meet expectations.

Instead, a very bad result was obtained.

That means Li Meijin won't care and won't let anything go.

Li Mingyang came to Huahua Technology and told Zhang Wei all his guesses and Li Meijin's decision in Zhang Wei's office.

Zhang Wei was shocked.

Faced with the aggressive Penguin and iQiyi, CJ is not prepared to back down.

Zhang Wei caused turmoil within the three major TV stations, while iQiyi and Penguin created a gap outside with money and market.

If CJ doesn't play dirty tricks, Penguin and iQiyi will definitely sweep the Korean entertainment industry. It's just a matter of time.

The most unlucky one is FBTV.

They spent so much money, but in the end they could only watch Penguin and iQiyi, who spent even more money, sweep the Korean entertainment industry!
"Don't be surprised. Tell me what you think." Li Mingyang was smoking a cigarette and scratching his head. He had a terrible headache.

"This... let's compromise. Gong Yu will accept our merger at any time."

“FBTV can lose, can die, but cannot surrender.”

“The losses will be huge!”

"I will bear all the losses alone. I will not admit defeat, and no one can surrender!"

Zhang Wei had no choice but to take out a document from the pile of documents on the table and hand it to Li Mingyang, saying, "We have to hurry up. We don't have that much money. IQiyi and Penguin are already buying American dramas... It's better to fight a protracted war and reduce domestic production costs. The low-cost dramas produced by Huabao have received good feedback recently."

Li Mingyang took the document and just read the first page when he heard a loud bang!
The door was suddenly pushed open.

"Sister Zhang, help! Someone is trying to take over our place!" Dapeng knelt down as soon as he entered the door, crying bitterly.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Wei asked.

"Ah! Brother Li, you are here too! Brother Li, please save me! Someone doesn't give you face and wants to seize our place." Dapeng cried even more miserably.

"Don't cry first, Xiao Shenyang, you tell the story." Li Mingyang pointed at Xiao Shenyang and said.

Xiao Shenyang originally wanted to cry, but was frightened by Dapeng's reaction and did not cry. When he heard Li Mingyang calling him, he immediately ran over with a wronged look on his face and told him what had happened.

Li Mingyang listened for a while and realized that it was indeed as Jin Langjun said, the gray industries in South Korea are all monopolistic in nature, and when they develop to a certain extent, they will be swallowed up by others.

"Didn't I remind you a long time ago to know when to stop and not to do anything too big?" Li Mingyang said angrily.

"Brother Li, we didn't do anything big. We just opened three nightclubs." Dapeng said unwillingly.

“How much do you make a month?”

Dapeng still wanted to hide it, but Xiaoshenyang blurted out, "It's less than 10 million. It's almost summer vacation, so it should be at least 12 or 13 million a month."

"net profit?"

"Pure."

"Oh my god, a net profit of about 10 million a month, this is courting death! Don't you have any concept of money?"

"How much is that? How can it compare to you, Brother Li!"

Li Mingyang rolled his eyes, "Have you looked for Xiucheng?"

"I've looked for him, but it's no use! The other party doesn't even bother with him. It seems...it seems like they're from Hong Kong."

"That's fucked up. I don't know those people well."

"Brother Li, please lend us some people! I want to get my revenge." Dapeng stood up and said anxiously.

"What do you mean by borrowing some people? You must have watched too many Young and Dangerous movies!" Li Mingyang pointed at the ground, "Kneel down first. I won't let you get up, so you have to kneel down right now."

Dapeng pinched his ears and knelt down silently.

Seeing this, Xiao Shenyang also knelt down with a plop, "Brother Li, you must save us! If you don't save us, we won't be able to survive in the future."

Li Mingyang was overwhelmed and looked at Zhang Wei.

"Do you want to call Jin Langjun?" Zhang Wei said.

"Stop fighting. That guy is asking for money. Call Old Wu and ask him to send someone over."

Li Mingyang and Zhang Wei don't get involved in those messy things. It's Old Wu who gets in touch with them. Only he knows who they are.

"Their profits are too enviable. Fighting violence with violence will not solve the problem." Zhang Wei stood up and walked towards the door, waving to Li Mingyang when she passed by.

Li Mingyang followed, and Dapeng and Xiao Shenyang also wanted to follow.

Li Mingyang stopped him with a look.

Passing through the winding alleys, Li Mingyang came to the Finance Department's two-story building, brightly lit.

Pushing the door and entering the Finance Department, I saw more than a dozen people busy at the workstations on the first floor, calculating reports and printing documents.

"Hello, Director Li."

"Hello, Miss Zhang."

"Boss, what brings you here?"

Half of these people were transferred from China, and Zhang Wei didn't trust the Koreans very much.

"Work hard." After saying that, Zhang Wei walked straight to the stairs and went up to the second floor.

Li Mingyang followed Zhang Wei to the second floor. The layout of the second floor was similar to that of the first floor, and there were also many people busy working there.

The downstairs is to verify the financial data of South Korea, and the upstairs is to verify the financial data of China.

Among these people, Li Mingyang saw a figure that surprised him.

Clap! Zhang Wei clapped her hands, "You all should get off work!"

When everyone heard the news that they were leaving get off work, they quickly slipped away.

When leaving, all the financial officers looked towards the corner at the same time, seeing a long-haired woman in a white dress.

I kept muttering to myself as I went downstairs.

"Damn! Why is she here!" Li Mingyang couldn't help it and said angrily.

"It's understandable that you're angry with her, but you can't deny that she's excellent, right?" Zhang Wei replied calmly.

Bai Bin stood up awkwardly, although she had been begging Zhang Wei to meet Li Mingyang.

But this sudden attack left her at a loss.

Li Mingyang looked at Bai Bin, his mind full of mixed feelings. This woman's contract was still in Yinghuang's hands, and now he and Yinghuang had completely fallen out.

Bai Bin's appearance here is either a traitor or a thief, and he is most likely sent by Yinghuang.

"Now we need to deal with Dapeng's problem. Why did you bring me to find her?" Li Mingyang frowned.

"Dapeng can't keep the nightclub business by himself. Instead of letting others take advantage of it, why don't we take over?"

Li Mingyang was stunned.

"They have not three stores, but five stores, with high-quality customers from the Northeast, and their business is very good."

"How do you know it so clearly?" Li Mingyang was speechless.

"Shirahama said so."

Li Mingyang looked at Bai Bin in surprise.

Bai Bin gritted his teeth and came to Li Mingyang, holding the corner of his clothes with both hands, lowered his head and said: "You caused Yinghuang to lose a lot of money, they want to deal with you... They thought Dapeng's business was yours, and they have been preparing for a long time..."

"How did you know?"

"Whatever you do in Korea is no secret in the Hong Kong circle. They even held a meeting a few days ago to discuss how to deal with you together. Yinghuang has raised 300 million..."

Li Mingyang knew about this a long time ago; Tang Wei told him about it over the phone.

I just didn't expect that Shirahama also knew it.

Li Mingyang suddenly felt that Bai Bin was quite interesting.

You are such a fence-sitter.

"Was it a group of Hong Kong people who robbed Dapeng?" Li Mingyang asked.

Bai Bin raised his head, lifted the hair beside his ear, glanced at Li Mingyang, and shook his head, "I can't find out who did it... The gray industry is handled by the Korean company and has nothing to do with Yinghuang. The money earned was returned to Macau little by little through financial means, and then transferred from Macau."

"Oh my god, they're using financial means."

"The nightclub industry has a net profit of nearly 1 billion per year..."

"You know too much!"

Li Mingyang felt that he was betrayed by her.

Baibin just smiled awkwardly but didn't say where he got the news from.

But Zhang Wei nodded in agreement with her words, apparently she had done some investigation.

Knowing the ins and outs of a problem makes it much easier to solve it.

But... why did you leave Shirahama behind? This woman is so annoying.

"When did you come?" Li Mingyang asked.

"The day before yesterday..." Bai Bin stole a glance at Li Mingyang. He was wearing sunglasses and his expression could not be seen...

Li Mingyang nodded, turned around, patted Zhang Wei on the shoulder, and went downstairs.

"Director Li, I have something to tell you." Bai Bin was anxious and hurriedly chased after him.

"Shut up first, Zhang Wei, get down here."

Zhang Wei didn't care about Li Mingyang's attitude and was in the mood to comfort Bai Bin.

Baibin stood at the stairs for a while, then turned back to his workstation, sighed, and thought about his problems.

Until now, she doesn't think she did anything wrong.

Isn’t that what the entertainment industry is like?

No permanent friends, only permanent interests.

Those stars from Huayi pretended to obey but secretly disobeyed, and Li Bingbing wished she could have the word "rebellion" written on her face.

Deng Chao, who still held shares in Huayi, had already started a company in partnership with Guangxian.

The situation on Rong Xinda's side is even more outrageous. The artists and their agents all want to run away.

I haven’t seen how Huayi and Rongxinda are doing…

As for the box lunch business and film crew members, you don’t want to give the Hong Kong circle a discount, but would you be happy if you gave the Beijing circle a discount?

A few days ago, Bai Bin received a call from Huo Wenxi, and then the two met and Huo Wenxi gave her some information.

This is the information of Dapeng Nightclub.

In fact, they didn't want to take over Dapeng's nightclub, but wanted Li Mingyang to take it over.

A business with annual revenue of hundreds of millions.

There is not even any security. This is just a piece of fat meat that everyone would covet...

He wanted to drag Li Mingyang into Korea's gray industry and ruin his reputation.

The gray industries in Korea, except for drug trafficking, pornography and gambling, are all legal, but they are not legal in China!

Li Mingyang who forced women of good character into prostitution!

How to survive in the country!

……

In the hidden bedroom in Zhang Wei's office.

"Are you sick? Why did you call her back?" Li Mingyang took off his sunglasses and said angrily.

Zhang Wei sat on the sofa and shrugged. "It's easy to dodge an open attack, but it's hard to guard against an arrow from the dark. She's obviously here to harm you. This is easy to deal with. I'll keep her so busy that she won't have time to harm you."

"She's thick-skinned. You can't handle her."

"I can handle it." Zhang Wei said confidently.

"Don't be blindly confident. She has also been through many ups and downs, and has suffered more than you."

"So, she won't trust anyone... She cherishes any opportunity that can be taken advantage of, and she is easy to deal with."

this……

Li Mingyang was not sure whether Zhang Wei could do it, but if she could really incite rebellion, that would actually be good.

Shirahama, he is a complete traitor and he has a very smart brain.

"I'm going to deal with the nightclub first."

"They can't keep the gray industry with annual profits of hundreds of millions, so why don't we do it?"

"talk later."

It's about ten o'clock in the evening.

Li Xiucheng parked the car on the side of the road, facing the largest nightclub in Dapeng.

Li Mingyang first called the police and had the troublemakers arrested.

Afterwards, he asked Dapeng and Xiao Shenyang to get off the car and returned to the nightclub as the boss, where he was greeted by a large group of thugs numbering hundreds.

It's amazing that Dapeng opened a nightclub without even hiring thugs.

In his words, it was too expensive.

When the time came, I couldn't find any thugs.

Li Mingyang watched silently on the street and felt that the matter was almost dealt with. Just as he was about to drive away, Dapeng called again.

"Hey, Brother Li, these guys are asking for too much! They want half of my profit!"

"You don't know how to do accounting for such a small matter!"

"Brother Li, they need to send the finance department over. Woohoo! I worked so hard to make so much money, and they only have a few people! They actually want half of my profit."

Li Mingyang hung up the phone and called Old Wu.

"Hey, Old Wu, what kind of shady people are these? They want half of the profit right away. Can you offer them cheaper?"

"Actually... they're all pretty much the same. The people I originally came into contact with were later recruited by a debt collection company called MC."

"The debt collection company is recruited... and they can still do this. Their backers must be chaebols. Debt collection companies are all funded by chaebols."

"I don't know about that. Anyway, every time I called them to ask them to do something, they never asked for money. They even gave me gifts to thank me for giving them a new life..."

"Damn! Could it be that CJ recruited him?"

Li Mingyang hung up the phone, speechless. After thinking about it, he was about to call Li Meijin when Li Meijin called.

"Hey, Director Li, is there something wrong with your friend's nightclub?"

"Are those who come to collect protection money your people?"

"SK."

"Do you want to do it? SK is willing to give you this business, but he wants to charge you 30%. Your friend wants to do it, but he wants to charge you 50%."

"I'm here to make a movie, not to engage in the gray industry. This is all a stain!" Li Mingyang said angrily.

Li Meijin was stunned at first, then she covered her mouth and laughed secretly. After a while, she said, "Every country has its own national conditions. Ours is a legitimate industry. If you don't want to accept it, then let your friend accept that ratio."

"Okay, yeah, by the way, what happens if they keep expanding?"

"Their customers are all from the Northeast, so they don't conflict with others."

Li Mingyang hung up the phone and asked Li Xiucheng to get out of the car with him.

Got out of the car and walked into the nightclub.

Under the bright lights, everyone saw that the person coming in was Li Mingyang.

Dapeng and Xiaoshenyang were overjoyed to see their savior.

Just about to go and greet Li Mingyang.

However, hundreds of ferocious hooligans automatically made way for each other and bowed in unison.

The scene was so shocking that Dapeng and Xiaoshenyang were stunned.

They even thought that this was a trap set by Brother Li to destroy the foundation they had built.
