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

Chapter 658 I can make you fly, and I can make you fall down.

Seoul, Spider Cave.

Dapeng and Xiaoshenyang looked at the devastated Spider Cave and wept with joy!
Their talents were finally recognized by Li Mingyang.

In the future, they will be in charge of this most famous red-light district in Seoul.

The two were very experienced; they knew all too well the profits from turning nightclubs into places that sold sex.

"Brother Li, are we going to take charge of this place from now on?" Da Peng asked, as if waking from a dream, somewhat uncertainly.

"Well, this place is yours to manage from now on. You can decide how to plan and arrange things. Don't ask me. The gang, funds, and women have all been prepared for you. Go ahead and do your thing."

"Um... what's the commission rate?"

"There's no commission. See that pure white European-style building? That used to be the biggest KTV in the Spider Cave. Now it's yours. How much you earn depends on your own abilities."

"Brother Li, you're truly our second father! We'll definitely make this place lively and bustling again, and Brother Li will count money until his hands cramp up," Xiao Shenyang said with a lewd smile.

Li Mingyang nodded and handed Song Duyuan over to work with Dapeng and Xiao Shenyang.

I left first to go back to the company and continue working on your name.

Due to the sabotage of the United Gang and the disruption caused by Li Mingyang, the Spider Cave also faced an unprecedented crackdown on prostitution by the Police Department.

This place has lost its reputation and is no longer the Spider Cave that tourists used to rave about, a place teeming with fairies.

With everything in ruins and needing to be rebuilt, how easy is that?
Song Duyuan, anyway, felt that there was no chance.
However, after spending several hours talking with Dapeng and Xiaoshenyang around the Spider Cave, they realized that...

Song Duyuan suddenly realized that these two extremely lewd guys were perfect for the sex industry.

They actually came up with the idea of ​​inviting female teachers from island nations to hold an adult exhibition, using passersby filming as a gimmick—this novel idea sounds quite interesting…

As they came into contact with more information, Dapeng and Xiaoshenyang's ideas were constantly updated. When the two arrived at Yanbian Street, they learned that it was a gathering place for people from Northeast China.

The idea was to develop tourism with distinctive features of Northeast China and promote the culture of bathhouses.

In the dead of winter, getting a scrub and a quickie in the public bathhouse is incredibly comfortable.

Leave professional matters to professionals.

Whether or not he can do it well is not something Li Mingyang needs to consider.

If it doesn't work, find someone else.

The place has no shortage of people, but it lacks people who can get things done.

Li Mingyang returned to the company and went to his office, intending to take a nap in the break room.

Seeing the pile of documents on the desk, he went straight to the desk, picked up a document, and started reading.

This is FBTV's performance report from last year.

Zhang Wei has already compiled it.

"What a workaholic... He finished it so quickly."

As for the others, Li Mingyang felt they were either not doing a good job, or were too slow, or were too self-serving.

Zhang Wei is completely different. She is organized, has her own opinions, and her career is everything to her. Once she sets a direction, she moves forward very quickly.

Li Mingyang quickly flipped through FBTV's 2012 performance report.

I was so frustrated by the losses that I decided to stop watching and go back to the lounge to sleep.

I woke up at 2 a.m.

I was lying on the bed in a daze when both of my phones on the bedside table vibrated at the same time.

Li Mingyang answered Li Xiucheng's call.

He's already at Southeast University, and he even ran into Wang Xiaowang from Wanda Group.

Xiao Wang arranged for him to stay at a hotel, while he went to an internet cafe to play League of Legends all night.

Xiao Wang's investment in the Korean Wave is quite unique.

They have dabbled in beauty, film, special effects companies, girl groups, e-sports, live streaming, and more.

They particularly like to use the mature teams and experience of the Korean wave to open up the domestic market.

When Lee Soo-sung replaced Song Do-won to handle Sino-Korean cultural exchange matters at Dongda University, the first thing he did was contact Xiao Wang.

The two hit it off immediately.

Li Mingyang told him about Xiao Wang's quirks and then hung up the phone in a hurry.

I answered Ah Huo's call.

There are some technical issues with the production of Your Name; the animation is not smooth enough, and there are obvious stutters. The modeling team wants to delete the models.

Li Mingyang hung up the phone and was about to go upstairs when another call came in.

It was past four in the morning when Song Duyuan actually wanted to discuss the script for the crime drama with him.

After hanging up the phone, Li Mingyang went downstairs to deal with your name issue, but after several hours, he still couldn't resolve it.

The computer can't handle such a realistic model...it's a hardware problem.

Although Li Mingyang is not short of money, the hardware was upgraded to the latest version during the summer vacation, so upgrading again would not have much effect.

There were more than a dozen solutions, but before Li Mingyang could even think of any, Zhang Wei came to him for a short meeting.

"Very important?"

"Very important."

With no other option, Li Mingyang had to hold a small meeting with Zhang Wei to discuss FBTV's development plan.

FBTV's business model is very simple.

The content department creates content, the technology department releases videos, the marketing department promotes videos, and the customer service department provides feedback to senior management.

It looks simple, but in reality, each part of the meeting can last for several hours.

Zhang Wei only discussed content production, as that was his responsibility.

Li Mingyang listened, and Zhang Wei spoke.

The morning passed just like that. Zhang Wei finished sharing all the useful information and left without lingering.

Before Li Mingyang could even marvel at Zhang Wei's decisiveness, the phone rang again as he stared at the tightly closed door.

"Old Song's call is probably about The Outlaws, I'm not answering."

"Damn, how come there are so many unread messages?"

Li Mingyang took out another phone; there were no missed calls or messages.

Taking a deep breath, Li Mingyang returned to his office, turned on his computer, and spent more than two hours processing all the information.

With the Spider Cave issue resolved, the number of people seeking him out to discuss movies, work, collaborations, and Sino-Korean plans surged.

Li Mingyang would normally assign these miscellaneous tasks to others.

For example, Zhong Xiaoyu, Wu Zhikui, Xiao Ye, Li Xiucheng, A Huo, Song Duyuan...

Because she started too many projects at once, Zhong Xiaoyu also went to film a movie.

Suddenly, no one could help him with these miscellaneous tasks.

"I need to find a trustworthy secretary to help me handle these matters."

buzzing...

My personal phone vibrated.

Li Mingyang picked it up and saw that it belonged to Song Qian.

He's been too busy lately to sleep with Song Qian.

"Director Li, are you free tonight? I have a big surprise for you..."

"I'm a bit busy..."

“It’s been a week already… How about I come to you? If we’re quick, it can be done in ten minutes.”

"Um...don't you have any projects planned lately?" "I just finished filming some promotional material, so I called you. I'm drinking milk now, do you want some?"

"Being in a girl group must be tiring. Take care of yourself and get some rest."

"Ugh... I feel like I'm being really pathetic... Never mind, I'm hanging up!"

beep...

Song Qian hung up the phone.

"We've already come this far, and I don't even have time to eat. That's really something," Li Mingyang remarked, before answering Wang Changtian's call.

This time it's about Lost in Thailand.

In order to reach 2 billion yuan in box office revenue, Xu Zheng secretly reached an agreement with the cinema chain to create ghost screenings.

Wang Changtian also wanted to do this, but his relationship with the cinemas was not good, and he was afraid that the cinemas would use it against him.

Therefore, he agreed with Xu Zheng's decision.

However, the good times didn't last long. After only a few days of playing, the ghost field was exposed!
Although Xu Zheng paid out of his own pocket and Zuo Shandiao's PR team managed to suppress the matter, breaking the 2 billion yuan mark for "Lost in Thailand" was extremely difficult, as many people were trying to obstruct it...

Wang Changtian called to ask him what method he could use to help Lost in Thailand break the 2 billion yuan mark.

Wang Changtian called him to ask, which was definitely not a conventional method.

Ghost fields are the fastest and most effective method, but this approach won't work.

Li Mingyang was also out of ideas.

The 17 billion yuan box office of Lost in Thailand has almost drained the ticket market... It has almost completely absorbed the lower-tier markets.

"The ticket pool is almost empty. Jumping in yourself won't work. You need the green light from above. Either you have to swipe or you have to steal. 007 is about to be released, right? You can steal from it!"

"Hollywood box office revenue is hard to steal these days..."

"That depends on what you gentlemen think. I'll hang up now; I have other things to do."

Li Mingyang hung up on Wang Changtian and answered Ah Huo's call.

Kim Sae-ron has already completed the design draft. Ah-huo asked him to come over for review as soon as possible. If it's usable, then they can start refining the male lead's details.

Li Mingyang left the conference room and, instead of going downstairs, went to Zhang Wei's office.

When Zhang Wei saw Li Mingyang coming to find her, she paused the meeting and asked everyone else to leave.

Once only the two of them were left in the office, Li Mingyang replied to a message while saying, "The matter of the Spider Cave is over. Everyone thinks I'm free now, and more and more people are coming to me. It's so annoying. I need a trustworthy secretary who can speak both Korean and Chinese to help me handle my personal and business matters."

"What else do you want?"

"Ideally, someone who understands the entertainment industry."

"Those who meet the requirements are basically entrusted with important tasks by you."

"That's why I came to borrow someone from you. Where's your secretary? Can I borrow her for a bit?"

"I don't have a secretary."

"..."

There may be someone who is a good match for you, but she may not be willing, and you may not agree.

"who."

"Shirahama".

Li Mingyang was stunned for a moment; Bai Bin was indeed quite suitable.

However, Li Mingyang didn't trust her much, and he even kicked her out twice.

Anyone with a shred of self-respect would not come back.

Moreover, she is now a senior executive at iQiyi, highly regarded by Gong Yu, and in charge of iQiyi's Shanghai branch.

The phone rang again. Li Mingyang was annoyed and didn't want to answer, but when he saw it was Tian Tian, ​​he answered anyway.

"I wrote a script for 'July and Ansheng' myself, and I sent it to your email. Could you take a look at it for me?"

"I don't want to see it, so read it to me."

"Ahem, listen carefully..."

Jing Tian began reading aloud the script she had written.

Why does the male lead have so much screen time?
Damn, your male lead character is so similar to me!
This seems to be getting interesting...

Jing Tian actually has the ability to write and direct...

"Your script is alright, it's passable."

"Is it alright, or just so-so...?" Jing Tian said uncertainly.

"good."

“Really!” Jing Tian said happily. “Then I’ll go through the details a bit more and read it to you later.”

There's no need for that, go ahead and take pictures!

Before Li Mingyang could finish speaking, Jing Tian hung up the phone.

Since returning to China, Jing Tian had stopped answering his calls. This time, Jing Tian took the initiative to contact him, which meant that the ice had been broken.

It's fine if other people don't answer their calls, but it's not okay for Jing Tian to ignore them.

"Forget it, let's go with Shirahama!"

Li Mingyang opened the phone book, found Bai Bin's number, and dialed it.

"Hey, Bai Bin, how have you been lately? Are you settling in well with iQiyi?"

"I'm fine, is there anything I can help you with?"

Li Mingyang frowned slightly. Bai Bin's voice carried a hint of distance, indifference, confidence, and impatience.

They've grown too big for their britches!
Unlike in South Korea, once a celebrity becomes famous in China, they have many options and attract a lot of investment.

Small companies without powerful backers may finally manage to make someone famous, but they also face the fate of having their success stolen by larger companies.

If you behave obediently, you might get some resources.

If you don't listen and want to resist, then go to court and let the law teach you a lesson.

The cases of Little Chicken Dictionary and Weibo are typical examples of teaching people a lesson.

The current state of the Chinese entertainment industry's control over celebrities is absurdly weak. It was only after Fan Binbin's scandal that a strict crackdown began.

Before BAT could even celebrate, they became the biggest victims.

Celebrities are too prone to scandals.

Ethical clauses for artists are the best way to avoid losses.

However, domestic celebrities are a scarce resource. Big names are generally more rational and assertive. If you ask a top-tier celebrity to sign a moral clause, they will feel insulted and will not sign the contract.

For minor celebrities, signing ethical clauses is nothing short of superfluous.

Therefore, moral clauses are not very effective for the current industry; it relies more on the personal qualities and self-discipline of celebrities.

Otherwise, even if you were the "mother of the Beijing elite circle," like Xu Qing, you would still be blacklisted without question.

Gillian Chung's explicit photos were leaked and known to the entire internet, yet she was still able to continue filming.

Shirahama only called the police; the video of the harassment was not leaked.

As a victim, she has a thick skin, which doesn't affect her continued development at all. The only problem is Yinghuang.

Bai Bin is so arrogant now, I guess iQiyi helped her get Yinghuang.

They really dare to open a dye shop just because you give them a little leeway.

I can make you fly, and I can make you fall down.
