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

Chapter 574 Darkening!

Li Mingyang followed the advice and put down the bottle.

Then he felt his pockets but couldn't find any cigarettes. One of the bunny girls was smart enough to take out a cigarette and a lighter from between her hands and handed them to Li Mingyang.

Li Mingyang opened the cigarette box and lit one. "Huh... these ungrateful bastards cheated me out of more than 200 million. Beat them to death."

“Without the means to control people’s minds, it’s already pretty good that you can keep more than half.” Li Meijin said with a smile.

"Did you get the money back?"

“Only half of it was recovered.”

Well, this is either what they spent or the handling fee. After all, Li Meijin can’t help for free.

"Well... we split it in half. I thought I couldn't get it back."

Li Meijin was not interested in the money and asked with interest: "How did you come up with this way to cheat money?"

"Who told you that?" Li Mingyang asked back.

"Some of those companies you acquired were gifts from me."

"So you already knew that..."

"Korean entertainment is only so big...you haven't answered my question yet."

Li Meijin pressed the matter to the bottom, but Li Mingyang didn't want to tell the truth, so he concealed some important things, exaggerated, and said that it was just a sudden idea, but he didn't expect it to come true.

Li Meijin was not satisfied with Li Mingyang's remarks, and did not intend to avoid the topic. She analyzed the topic from the perspective of a superior, and told the story in a leisurely manner, just like a butcher cutting up an ox.

Ninety percent right.

It's already very perverted.

There is still one tenth left, and that requires opening the third eye.

Liu Chunning, the current person in charge of Penguin Video, is such a loser. He is a liar who loves to show off and pursue KPIs.

When he was in Tencent, he was like an undercover agent of Alibaba, but when he was in Alibaba, he was like an undercover agent of Tencent.

"Director Li, your business talent is truly amazing, and you love movies so much that you're willing to do anything for them. Even I am ashamed of myself."

"No, no, President Li is my role model. I hope that one day I can become someone like President Li." Li Mingyang said sincerely.

Li Meijin laughed twice and patted Li Mingyang's hand happily, "Director Li, since you have this intention, then join CJ Entertainment! Be an external director first, and when you have made achievements, you can be the vice president."

It is impossible for the president to do so.

A chaebol is a family.

The position of vice president is the pinnacle of CJ Entertainment that he can reach, and the voices of opposition will definitely not be low, so the difficulty is extremely high.

Li Mingyang laughed dryly and was about to refuse.

Li Meijing sighed and said, "CJ and Samsung are a deadlock. Once she takes office, she will definitely suppress CJ Group in an all-round way. The first step is to force me to step down. In order to protect myself, I will go abroad to seek overseas protection... I have been looking for someone to replace me, but unfortunately there is no one. CJ Entertainment is bigger than you think."

"Why choose me... I may not be able to manage such a large enterprise."

"CJ Entertainment does not need management, but a leader who can withstand all external pressure."

Li Meijin said with relief: "Your business acumen and your talent for movies only make you better...Your determination to never give up is what CJ needs most."

Li Mingyang lit another cigarette. While he was halfway through the cigarette, countless scenes of his time with Li Meijin flashed through his mind.

When it comes to sincerity, Li Meijin is definitely the most sincere to him.

Li Mingyang has never understood why Li Meijin works so hard! Support him!

It turned out to be paving the way for myself to leave.

CJ has a variety show called "Saturday Night Live"

This program has a funny segment that mocks political figures and events, with Aunt Park being the first to be mocked. This segment is arranged every week.

I’m afraid Aunt Park doesn’t know.

I guess she wanted to attract attention and let Aunt Park direct her anger at her alone.

As a result, Aunt Park sent her brother to jail and forced her to step down.

CJ Group is controlled by her uncle, and she has to report to the Presidential Palace every now and then to be criticized and required to make rectifications.

Tens of thousands of people were placed on the government blacklist.

Li Mingyang can’t handle this mess!
Aunt Park has a bad reputation and lacks ability, but she has a really good relationship with the country!
In 2015, Aunt Park came to Yanbei to watch the military parade, exchanged glances with Dongda, and signed the China-South Korea Free Trade Agreement.

We must take practical actions to establish the China-Japan-South Korea Free Trade Area.

The next year, he was driven out of office by the Americans...

The China-Japan-South Korea Free Trade Area is America’s Achilles’ heel!

As for THAAD, no one mentions it now.

"What can I get?" Li Mingyang did not refuse directly, but wanted to see what Li Meijin would give.

"After I leave, you can decide on your own whether to merge TVING and FBTV."

I go!

The conditions are too tempting.

He thought that Li Meijin would use CJ's copyright library as a bargaining chip.

Unexpectedly, Li Meijin rose to fame overnight and gave him a huge aircraft carrier for Korean entertainment and film and television production!

"Okay, I accept your conditions." Li Mingyang grinned, picked up the wine glass, and drank a glass with Li Meijing.

"I can give you the status of an external director, but to become the vice president, you need to work harder and shock everyone with miracles."

"The Seoul Spring visitor count exceeding 20 million is that miracle?" Li Mingyang frowned.

Li Meijin smiled faintly, and her smile was very kind...

……

"…If, that one in ten million, I survive, what will you do? Can you handle me? There's a gift for you in the drawer of my office, check it out later. You have to be a little cruel, that's the only way to survive, understand? Go ahead, I'm so sleepy!"

When Ding Qing was dying, he said to his good brother Li Zicheng.

At CGV Gangnam Cinema, Li Mingyang sat in the fifth row, watching the movie "New World" which he directed.

It is extremely difficult for a 19+ movie to reach tens of millions of viewers in Korea, where the total population is only about 50 million.

The audience needs to watch it twice, three times, or even more than ten times.

Li Mingyang couldn't remember how many times he had gone to the cinema to watch New World.

The charm of Machiavelli, Gangsters and The Law of the Jungle lies in its endearing appeal and is worth watching over and over again.

There are different feelings at different moments in life.

Ding Qing held on, saying these words to Li Zicheng before his death.

Echoing in Li Mingyang's ears.

Li Zicheng's darkening can be said to be a coincidence due to various factors, or it can be said to be inevitable due to various factors!

Li Zicheng's path to the top was actually as if it had been arranged, but on the other hand, Li Zicheng was forced to the top all the way!

Because in the later stages, everyone except Ding Qing wanted him dead, and in order to survive, he had no choice but to kill everyone!

How can people living in this world follow their own ideas? They are all forced onto this path. The choices of human nature are also the choices of human nature!
The New World can be said to be the most thorough copy by Li Mingyang, and it only enriched the character line of Section Chief Jiang.

The sense of oppression brought to Li Zicheng doubled.

Li Mingyang has seen the deconstruction of the new world by domestic netizens and media.

There is so much nonsense, slander and rumors!
Section Chief Jiang alluded to Zuoshandiao... Li Mingyang felt that this interpretation was correct.

In the original film, the important character Section Chief Jiang was very thin. When Li Mingyang was designing the character, he actually took Zuoshandiao as a reference.

Chief Jiang, who is overbearing, cunning, scheming, ruthless and a true hero, is the one who set up the scheme and gives Ding Qing, Li Zicheng and Li Zhongjiu a strong sense of oppression.

It gave the audience even more suffocating danger and despair...

It makes Li Zicheng's blackening even more exciting! The release of pleasure is even greater!

From the very beginning of his career, Li Mingyang felt the pressure from Zuoshan Diao all the time.

Once he planned to break the rules, the suffocating pressure would come upon him.

In a sense, his new world could be taken to the next level thanks to Zuo Shandiao.

The evil Li Zicheng smoked a cigarette.

He began his own revenge, going on a killing spree, wiping out the lives of Section Chief Jiang, the director, and all other competitors.

With tremendous force, he took over the entire Kinmen Group.

The movie ends.

The audience left. Li Mingyang sat in his seat, wiped his face with his hand, and made a difficult decision.

He has always believed that his biggest weakness is the Cheongdam-dong slum incident.

But after experiencing last night, he realized that it was not the case.

His biggest weakness is that he wants to go back.

The tolerance level of Korean entertainment is too abnormal.

Lee Byung-hun has gone mad.

Lee Jung-jae is even more perverted.

Those abnormal achievements are all true evidence in the news reports.

The news clearly stated that a 22-year-old female fan came to attend the Busan Film Festival and was dragged out of her car by Lee Jung-jae at night, beaten, and thrown to the ground with a head injury.

It was clearly an extremely violent act, but Lee Jung-jae was not detained.
Later he clarified that he felt the female fan was drunk and was following him in a car, so he went up to her to get an explanation.

It was only 98 at that time. He had only won a few newcomer awards, but he dared to pin his fans to the ground and rub them. This shows how arrogant he was.

However, beating up female fans is not his limit.
In 99, Lee Jung-jae drove drunk and crashed into a male amateur's car. After the incident, he not only pushed his male assistant to take the blame, but also directly wrestled with the police at the scene...

It was like Zhang Han dragging a policeman. Four years later, Lee Jung-jae was caught driving under the influence again.

It is not in the wilderness, but near Cheongdam-dong Elementary School.

Are you trying to kill me? That's too much.

A lot of Korean movie stars have been caught for drunk driving, which is no big deal.

The actress was driving under the influence of alcohol, haha, everyone should boycott her and get her out of the entertainment industry!

Of course, these little scandals did not stop Lee Jung-jae from making rapid progress in his career.

When he was less than 30 years old, he won the Blue Dragon Film Award and the Grand Bell Film Award for Best Actor, and also won many other minor awards.

Not long after this guy started dating Lin Shiling, he was involved in a fraud scandal at the age of 23.

The Toyo Group is not an ordinary conglomerate, but an old-established chaebol. In its early years, it was mainly engaged in engineering construction and later became involved in the real estate sector.

After the old boss passed away, his daughter Li Huijing became the main controller of the company.

However, Li Huijing had no idea how to run a business. She kept finding ways to embezzle public funds, enrich herself, and go into debt everywhere. She directly led to the bankruptcy of the Toyo Group, and thousands of investors lost all their money.

During this period, Lee Jung-jae used the shell real estate company he founded to illegally invest in Dongyang's project without the company's consent and despite the explicit opposition of Lee Hye-kyung's husband, he still pushed forward the project. It is not known whether it made any profit in the early stage, but it suffered a loss of RMB 5000 million in the later stage.

But the married Lee Hye-kyung waved her hand and forgave only Lee Jung-jae's debt.

As soon as this incident happened, Korean media and netizens scolded Lee Jung-jae as a "gigolo who licks rich women."

What’s amazing is that after the truth was revealed, Dongyang Group went bankrupt, Lee Hye-kyung went to jail, and after being released from prison, she lived on the streets again, but Lee Jung-jae escaped unscathed.

After hooking up with Lim Se-ryung, Lee Jung-jae started playing financial games with Lim Se-ryung.

When the conditions were ripe, he teamed up with his good friend Jung Woo-sung to start a film and television company.

It seems that he is just running a film and television company, but in fact he is constantly dancing on the red line of cutting leeks and making money.

Illegal buying and selling, stock price manipulation, and allegations of fraud, none of them were missed.

If the visible part is so bad, the invisible part must be even worse.

Dongyang Building was acquired from Dongyang Group at a low price by Lee Jung-jae in order to curry favor with Lee Mi-jin.

Lee Jung-jae can be Lim Se-ryung's little puppy, and has been in that role for many years. Naturally, he has his own unique qualities, and that is his strong ability to read people's expressions.

He is very popular among Korean politicians and is considered a social butterfly.

This is family tradition...

Lee Jung-jae's grandfather tried to run for parliament many times, but failed every time, and the family's financial situation began to decline.

Lee Jung-jae, Jung Woo-sung and a congressman drinking together were all reported in Korean news and were criticized by the entire Internet.

There is also Han Dongxu, who was once the leader of the ruling party, the National Power Party, and was his high school classmate.

The two were photographed eating pork rib soup together in a restaurant.

After the two's classmate relationship was exposed, stocks related to Han Dongxun's interests soared rapidly.
Lee Jung-jae and Lim Se-ryung also received a double return on their investments.

There are many tortoises in Chi Qian.

Lee Jung-jae is pretty fucked up, but he's just the most successful bastard, the one who's best at making money.

As for character, he is not the worst bastard.

There are many people who are worse than him.

Generally speaking, the private life of Korean entertainment is chaotic, forcing women of good families into prostitution, pimping, LTP, and killing people...

There are a lot of bad people.

Among the best actor, Hwang Jung-min, Won Bin, Choi Min-sik, and Ma Dong-seok are simply saints...

The Cheongdam-dong slum issue is not a big deal in Korea.

After leaving the cinema, Li Mingyang lit a cigarette on the street and looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar streets of Seoul.

After smoking a cigarette, he made a decision in his heart, threw the cigarette on the road, stomped it out, blended into the crowd, and walked towards Chungmuro.

Now look...if he is Li Zicheng, then Li Meijin is his Ding Qing.

As the vice president of CJ Entertainment, he has the capital to do anything!
……

8 month 1 day.

Huahua Technology held a grand press conference at the Shilla Hotel.

At the press conference, Li Mingyang announced in front of more than 200 media outlets at home and abroad that Huabou Agency and CJ Entertainment's subsidiary CJM would merge to form Huabou CJ and go public jointly.

The first movie released and produced by Flower CJ was Seoul Spring!

When the plot synopsis of Seoul Spring was released to the public, starring actors Hwang Jung-min, Lee Byung-hun, and Lee Sung-min appeared on the screen.

The media at the scene were shocked.

Double Twelve Political B, although this theme has the precedent of The Fifth Republic, it has never been adapted into a big screen.

Li Mingyang did not reveal much about the content of Seoul Spring, only saying that the film had the consent of Quan Douguang.

Upon hearing Quan Douguan's agreement, the Korean media immediately became cold, probably because they thought that there would not be anything explosive.

The Dongda media became lively.

"Director Li, why did you choose a military conflict as the subject of your new film?"

"Director Li, what do you think of Quan Douguang?"

"Director Li, this kind of military and political theme will most likely not pass domestic review. May I ask if you have given up on the Dongda film market?"

"Director Li, is New World trying to build up the Dongda film industry?"

……

Faced with various questions, Li Mingyang smiled slightly and did not answer.

Then the second movie, Witch 2, was released.

"The story background of Witch 2 is the same as the first one, but it is not a continuation of the first one. It is a new witch. I will hold auditions across Korea. Girls over the age of fifteen can sign up."

The witch pounced on the East University and the stick exploded.

It can be said to be the most ridiculous thing in the Asian film industry last year.

The discussion sparked by this has not ended to this day. Many media attributed Li Mingyang's decision to go to Korea instead of Hollywood to the fact that the popularity of Witch in Korea gave Li Mingyang confidence.

As for why Li Mingyang wanted to go abroad.

Currently on the domestic Internet, you cannot find any relevant information unless you specifically check or look through old posts.

The Sword Net Operation, which was launched to combat piracy and HDD, also wiped out this incident.

And you can find it by just searching on the Internet.

The release of Witch 2 made the media even more excited, and they rushed to ask questions.

As long as the questions were honest, Li Mingyang would patiently answer them one by one, and he would ignore all other questions.

The press conference ended on time at twelve noon.

The media were invited by the staff to dine in the banquet hall. After the meal, they received a bouquet of flowers as souvenirs specially prepared by CJ.

Eat and take.

Naturally, I hope the media will write more positive things and less negative things.

As for the effect, it is still very good. After all, the media also needs to make a living.

The job of entertaining the media was given to Zhang Wei.

Li Meijin entertains representatives of chaebols.

Li Mingyang entertained investors from Dongda University.

After working until around three in the afternoon, Li Mingyang, Zhang Wei, Li Meijin, Wang Changtian and Boss Zhao gathered together to sign some contract details and supplementary agreements.

CJ Entertainment's script library is so rich that it is amazing. Apart from TV dramas, CJ Entertainment produces more than a thousand movie scripts a year! Every year, the best dozen of them are selected to be used in filming movies.

High-quality scripts are the most scarce in China, but there is no shortage of them in Korea.

This is determined by the national conditions of the two countries. The University of Tokyo does not attach much importance to the copyright of scripts, the laws are not sound, and even famous screenwriters cannot guarantee their own rights.

The young screenwriter couldn't even get his credit.

Plagiarism is rampant, as is the practice of taking things from others.

The cost of infringement is too low.

As for Korea... plagiarism is also quite abnormal, but they don't copy from China, they like to copy from other countries...

The University of Tokyo does not attach importance to copyright and was plagiarized by the Koreans.

Plagiarism is a must-do for all content creation.

When Li Mingyang made short films back then, he also copied a lot of things, including Korean films, Hollywood films, mainland films, and Hong Kong films.

Copy the lines, copy the culture, copy the plot, copy the characters, copy the storyboards... copy out your own style and rhythm bit by bit.

Hallyu culture started out by plagiarism. Korean movies initially copied Hong Kong movies, but as they copied, they captured the essence and created their own thing.

The uncle plagiarized this Leon: The Professional.

The New World is a copy of Infernal Affairs.

But as I copied and filmed more, it changed and I walked my own path!

Domestic filmmakers can’t even copy well.

Remakes based on foreign scripts are most likely to be bad movies.

Lao Mouzi is no exception.

"Three Guns Surprise" is a remake of the Coen brothers' "Blood Simple".

The former gave the whole country a fright, and the latter is a very classic crime movie.
