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

Chapter 671 JK Goddess Yui Aragaki
Li Mingyang chuckled, not taking Bai Bin's flattering words to heart.

The bandit leader Zuo Shandiao will not step down; that's just how powerful China Film Group is!

It is the responsibility and obligation of Zuo Shandiao to suppress himself.

As long as Zuo Shandiao remains in power, there is no room for him to maneuver or leverage his influence within the country.

He's the number one film student at Dongda University, and that's no exaggeration.

The production companies behind the 2013 film Police Story were China Film Group and Wanda Group.

Zuo Shandiao volunteered to be the producer.

Before this, everyone thought that Zuo Shandiao was going to have a showdown with Wanda, but who knew that Zuo Shandiao would use a trick to fool everyone.

He bowed down to Wanda.

That's so damn smart!
ZZ's awareness is too high; the timing of his compromise is perfectly reasonable.

Zuo Shandiao is still Zuo Shandiao!
Of course, no matter how amazing he is with his third eye, this year is his last year.

There's no need for fighting, no need to show off, and no need to make any deals.

Just wait!

Waiting for the sky to clear and the moon to shine!
"Boss, boss, are you even listening to what people are saying..." Bai Bin waved his hand in front of Li Mingyang's face.

"Yes, I heard it."

"So, are you going back to China?"

"No return."

"There are many advantages to returning to China. Since the movie 'Miss' can't be shown in China, no one will target you... The longer you film, the happier they will be. It's a win-win situation for everyone, so why not?"

Just as Li Mingyang was about to speak, the cell phone on the coffee table rang. It was Wang Changtian calling.

He answered the phone calmly.

After hanging up the phone, I was unable to calm down for a long time!

What was supposed to come finally came!
Toho is preparing to film a Japanese version of "Love Like a Bouquet".

Director: Hiroshi Doi! Actress: Yui Aragaki! Lead actor: Kenichi Matsuyama!

The director is still Hiroyasu Doi, but the female lead has changed from a village beauty to Yui.

Yui Aragaki is one of the actresses with the highest box office appeal in doujinshi.

Kenichi Matsuyama, Death Note L!

Li Mingyang has only a few male stars in his memory!
This guy has an innate artistic flair! His acting is phenomenal!

An upgraded bouquet!

The official announcement for this movie will be made tomorrow, but Wang Changtian received the news in advance today.

The animated series "Your Name" has spread throughout the Japanese internet, and Japanese fans are eagerly anticipating its release.

On one hand, they are cursing the animation companies for their inaction, saying that the animation is mass-produced, the characters are deformed, and it's either selling fanservice or cuteness, or it's just an adaptation of a light novel. They say that if this continues, Japanese animation will be destroyed!

The five major film studios are also the five largest animation studios in Japan.

As the boss, Toho lost face because of Li Mingyang, so he changed his plans for the year and invested heavily, 3 million yen, to launch a Japanese version of a bouquet-like romance.

The intention is obvious: to ride on Li Mingyang's popularity, step on Li Mingyang's famous work, and make money all over Asia!
Toho has held the adaptation rights to Bouquet for three years, and the script is about 80% complete. Once the actors are in place, this low-budget romantic drama can be filmed incredibly quickly under the management of a giant like Toho.

We filmed slowly, and it was finished in a month.

If you shoot a little faster, you might even make it to the Cannes deadline...

……

February 14, 2013, Valentine's Day!

Toho held a press conference to announce that the Japanese version of "Romance in a Bouquet" will begin filming soon.

Yui Aragaki and Kenichi Matsuyama appear as the male and female leads.

The two of them said almost the same thing.

He kept talking about Li Mingyang, I really like his movies, and I feel honored to have participated in the Japanese version of "Love Like a Bouquet".

Director Hiroshi Doi is really something else; he wants to use a Japanese version of Bouquet to compete at Cannes!

Remakes are generally not well-received by film festivals.

But as long as it's good enough, winning an Oscar is no problem.

For example, the Hollywood remake of Infernal Affairs, Infernal Affairs: The Departed, even won an Oscar!

The creator's sincerity is very important; whether they can create something new is also part of the creativity.

Li Mingyang was disgusted by Dongbao.

They're using his popularity to shoot Japanese-style bouquets, making money across the Asian market, and now they're even trying to ride his coattails to Cannes!

Even for art films, viewership is very important.

Movies are ultimately meant to be seen by people; if no one knows about them, no one will care.

Film critics and judges have very precious time; if they don't like something after just one glance, they won't watch it anymore.

By riding on Li Mingyang's popularity, it's easy to attract attention.

Those who have seen the original version want to see what's different; those who haven't seen the original version should try the new one.

"Damn it, you Japanese devils!"

Li Mingyang was cursing under his breath, but he was smiling on the outside.

Dongbao deliberately held this press conference at the hotel where he was staying; it was clearly an attempt to annoy him.

Ultimately, it's his own fault for selling the copyright back then.

Without selling that copyright, your name couldn't be successfully shown in Japanese theaters, leaving a void in the Japanese film market.

That's why the "Your Name" animation became so popular.

Every drink and every bite has a reason!

The notebook was definitely going to include a photo of a bouquet, but I never expected it to be done in such a disgusting way.

What's even more disgusting is yet to come.

The head of Toho, along with reporters and the Japanese version of the Bouquet drama crew, went upstairs to his room to find him.

Let's not open the door...

Dongbao is the major shareholder of this hotel.

They were all all smiles, nodding and bowing, behaving like they were seeing their father.

Even if you want to find something to do or get angry, you can't find a reason.

That's just how they are; they bow and kneel all the time, their attitude is impeccable, they're extremely polite.

This is actually just a lifestyle habit—saying one thing to someone's face and another behind their back.

The Zizhi Tongjian (Comprehensive Mirror for Aid in Government) describes the common people as follows: "They know small manners but lack great righteousness; they are bound by trivialities but lack great virtue. They value minor details but lack shame; they fear power but do not cherish virtue. The strong will inevitably become thieves and bandits, and the weak will inevitably become subservient."

This assessment remains valid even today.

He disliked a bunch of Japanese devils, except for Yui Aragaki, whom he didn't dislike.

The four pillars of Japanese dramas: Yui Aragaki, Maki Horikita, Erika Toda, and Masami Nagasawa.

Yui Aragaki is the most popular, with a high level of national recognition, popularity, acting skills, and fashion sense.

However, Japanese entertainment stars are not cheap at all.

Television stations control all resources, and celebrities are treated like slaves, with a social status lower than that of regular employees.

The official employees of this company have incredibly high salaries and amazing benefits, equivalent to being employed by a state-owned enterprise, and are essentially retired by a conglomerate.

In Japanese dramas, the salaries of top actors, converted to RMB, can be counted on one hand, with those earning over 100,000 RMB per episode.

Among the actresses, only Yuki Amami has over 100,000 views per episode.

Yui Aragaki earns less than 60,000 yen per episode.

And even then, there are taxes and the studio's cut...

Japanese entertainment stars mainly earn their money through advertising endorsements, which account for about 70% of their annual income.

Of course, it wasn't much; her pre-tax annual income last year was only a little over ten million.

It's also difficult to evade taxes with a notebook.

She doesn't earn much money. Yui Shinagami works herself to the bone for a year, but she doesn't earn as much as Mimi for a single movie.

When Li Mingyang saw the JK goddess Yui Aragaki, he vividly imagined her wearing various JK uniforms.

Vest dresses, summer clothes, mid-length clothes, vests, suits, overcoats, winter clothes, cardigans, sweaters, shirts...

JK uniforms include short-sleeved white shirts, long-sleeved white shirts, and various styles and designs such as those with lace trim, solid colors, and lace.

JK uniform skirts, solid color, plaid, chocolate style.

High-waisted, low-waisted, with leggings, without leggings.

White stockings, black stockings.

Then I pinned myself to the desk and studied desperately...

He was thinking dirty thoughts, and he knew he would back down when Yui Aragaki took the initiative to make advances.

A honey trap!

This is all a honey trap!

Don't fall for it!

He wants to use the animated film "Your Name" to bombard the Japanese film market, and invest in Korean comics to bombard Japanese comics, replacing them.

These are things that could seriously damage a person's lifeline.

Little Rizi (a nickname) couldn't wait for him to die and be reincarnated.

The Japanese wouldn't dare to openly attack him, but if they tried to pull some tricks behind his back, they could be deadly.

Even someone as powerful as Li Xiaolong ended up dying in a woman's bed.

Many heroes and valiant men have ultimately fallen victim to the allure of women.

The honey trap is one of the most sophisticated forms of open warfare; it attacks human nature, so no one can defend against it. If you could, you wouldn't be human.

JK goddess Yui Aragaki is one of his ideal types!

He believed that the adorable Yui Aragaki was innocent and didn't have many ulterior motives.

However, the five major film companies in Japan—Toho, Toei, Shochiku, Kadokawa, and Nikkatsu—are all backed by conglomerates.

Their control over Japanese entertainment has reached a point that is deeply ingrained.

Overall, when it comes to dedication, Japanese entertainment stars are number one, and no one in the world dares to say they are second.

Japanese entertainment stars live on the edge of their lives and dignity.

To challenge the impossible, to challenge the limits of human physical and dignified dignity.

Japanese entertainment variety shows go to extremes in their pranks, treating people like dirt.

It's even more absurd than Korean entertainment (19+ rated). The only thing that can rival Japanese variety shows is the even more bizarre Thai entertainment.

Korean entertainment is primarily about entertainment, universal entertainment, which is why Korean entertainment is so successful overseas.

Xiao Rizi's biggest advantage in going global is animation!
Anime is the trump card among trump cards in Xiao Rizi's global cultural export!
This meeting.

It ended with Li Mingyang's indifferent "uh-huh" sounds.

They were just trying to ride the wave of popularity, and Li Mingyang was already being very generous by opening the door and agreeing to an interview.

Dongbao also knew when to stop, ending the meeting in ten minutes, not a second more or less.

When Yui Aragaki learned that the meeting was over, her sweet smile froze on her face, and she left with the rest of the crew, her face full of regret.

She looked back every few steps, and with each turn, the sorrow in her eyes deepened.

"They've all left, but they're still watching," Bai Bin said, closing the door with a hint of jealousy.

Li Mingyang took off his sunglasses, looked at them, and said, "Didn't you want to run away? Take care of Aragaki Yui, and I'll let you go."

"I never intended to run away..." Bai Bin plopped down in Li Mingyang's lap, hooking her arms around his neck and acting coquettishly, "I'm yours in life and in death..."

"Let's use a different word. Mimi especially loves to say this."

"..."

"How about it? These conditions are pretty good, aren't they? They shouldn't be too difficult for you."

Shirahama should be happy that she finally has a chance to leave.

But she lost to that little girl who had no figure, no face, and was good for nothing except being cute.

She was indignant, very indignant!
"She's just a little girl, and she doesn't seem very smart. She'll easily mess things up. Plus, she's a Japanese girl. I don't feel comfortable having her around," Bai Bin analyzed.

Li Mingyang smiled and looked at the sunglasses in his hand.

When he activates his Battle Spirit skill, his peach blossom eyes can see through sunglasses.

He just tried it out, and Yui Aragaki actually fell for it with her peach blossom eyes!
Excellent!
He hadn't seen a female celebrity in a long time, and he was completely captivated by her charm.

The one before that was the Empress, the one before that was Shi Shi, and the one before that was Sweetie.

When Mimi, Little Squirrel, and Zhong Xiaoyu are in their happiest moments, they will eat a little bit of food.

Shirahama really doesn't like peach blossom eyes.

Abstaining from all foods.

Li Mingyang quite likes Yui Aragaki's role as a rookie lawyer in "The Winner Takes All".

Wearing a gray office lady uniform, she looked less shrewd and capable, but more uniquely cute!

Yui Aragaki looks adorable no matter what she wears.

You'd probably be even cuter without wearing it!
……

Yui Aragaki's eyes sparkled with delight.

This is fantastic news!

Not seeing Yui Aragaki, Li Mingyang was disgusted by Toho's actions, but now he's not angry anymore and has forgiven Toho.

Hoping to poach talent and prevent the Japanese version of the bouquet from being filmed is unrealistic.

"A Love Like a Bouquet" is originally a Japanese romantic drama film; a local remake would be too simplistic.

Even without Yui Aragaki, there are many actresses of the same type who could replace her.

Haruka Ayase! Keiko Kitagawa! Masami Nagasawa!

It's possible that a different actor would have been more effective.

Li Mingyang's intense desire for Yui Aragaki was not due to her beauty, nor was it to prevent the Japanese version of the bouquet from being filmed.

Instead, he needs a proxy for the notebook!
Once your name is perfectly registered on Xiao Rizi, he will immediately open his eyes and harvest Xiao Rizi's animation studio. FBTV's doujinshi business will be a success.

The biggest problem for FBTV's Japanese content division is not the content, but who is in charge of Little Life streaming.

Bilibili, Youku, iQiyi, and Tencent all invested money to provide marketing and contract manufacturing studios in an attempt to cooperate with the Japanese, only to be made fools of by them.

Li Mingyang's "borrowing arrows with straw boats" strategy was modeled after the Japanese.

The Japanese devils especially loved the "borrowing arrows with straw boats" method.

If something goes wrong, they just bow. In their eyes, there's nothing that bowing can't solve. If that doesn't work, they'll do it again.

Except for Bilibili, all of the BAT companies have left.

The Korean model cannot be copied in Japanese.

There must be someone in charge, and that person must be a Japanese soldier.

The xenophobia in Japan is based on bloodline; people of mixed race are considered bastards.

Xiaoye is fluent in Japanese and his loyalty goes without saying, but he is not a Japanese soldier and cannot be in charge of the Japanese.

Yui Aragaki is familiar with Japanese entertainment and has captivating eyes...

The Japanese national first love goddess, taking photos to threaten her, is easily distorted.

Perfect for being a notebook agent.

Every single actress who follows the "pure and innocent" image in Japanese dramas is extremely concerned about her appearance.

This book doesn't have any suggestive or sexually suggestive themes.

Just like Japanese movies, they are either pure love or pure lust.

Once the photos were released, fans across the internet were urging her to join the adult film industry!
That's how twisted it is!
Li Mingyang is currently planning how to mess with Yui Aragaki in preparation for her FBTV launch.

On the Korean side, Zhang Wei is dealing with the trend of the convergence of China and South Korea, which has attracted various types of capital.

Although there is no clear indication that the China-South Korea cooperation will proceed smoothly.

But no bad news is the best news.

Everyone who wanted to seize the opportunity of the Sino-Korean alliance thought of Li Mingyang.

But very few people directly approach Li Mingyang.

Instead, they met with Zhang Wei immediately.

In the past few days, Zhang Wei has been receiving many people without leaving the company building.

It has capital from Southeast University, Gong Yu from iQiyi, Cai Chongxin from Alibaba, Sun Zhonghuai from Tencent Video, and executives from major domestic film and television companies.

The presidents of the major South Korean entertainment agencies, especially the three major agencies, come here almost every day.

In addition, there are Hollywood giants and independent production companies.

What everyone was really talking about was just four words—Dongda's financial film!

Zhang Wei couldn't make decisions before, and she has even less control now.

Li Mingyang had just left.

Shortly after, Wang Changtian and Boss Zhao reminded Zhang Wei that her position was in jeopardy.

FBTV will not be under her responsibility in the future, but rather under CJ Entertainment.

Zhang Wei had already guessed this without the two of them saying it.

No one understands Li Mingyang's overall plan better than Zhang Wei, because she is the main person in charge and the executor.

Li Mingyang said nice things, but he didn't actually trust her at all.

Putting herself in Li Mingyang's shoes, Zhang Wei wouldn't have handed over the entire flower arrangement business to him.

Too much power!

Therefore, Zhang Wei wanted to retain her position by decentralizing power.

How to divide power is a problem that is giving Zhang Wei a headache.

Boss Zhao told Zhang Wei that Li Mingyang wanted to transfer her back to China.

Zhang Wei simply chuckled at this.

Having spent every day with Li Mingyang, Zhang Wei knew that Li Mingyang's words could not be trusted!
The key is to look at what he did.

Zhang Wei was fully responsible for the operation of Bouquet CJ, judging from the layout.

The Asian streaming ecosystem is Li Mingyang's ultimate plan.

Based in the streaming media markets of Japan, South Korea, and Thailand, it aims to counter the dominance of Tokyo University and dominate Asia.

This plan is unique!
No one else in the world can win this war to dominate the Asian streaming market.

It's difficult for companies with strong financial resources and capabilities to go global, like BAT (Baidu, Alibaba, Tencent).

South Korea excels at exporting its culture and possesses the most comprehensive film and television production industry, but it lacks funds.

The Little Days Anime Kingdom is facing a collapse in the live-action market. Its production committee is defensive, while internal factions, both large and small, are exclusive in their content.

Thailand needs large-scale investment to develop new areas, but it also needs to guard against companies reneging on their promises and protect its interests.

Li Mingyang is the only one who owns Dongda Capital, controls Korean content, and has control over animation development.

People who dare to bomb the Thai mainland directly.

Zhang Wei approves of the Asian streaming ecosystem plan, but she doesn't believe Li Mingyang will transfer her back to China.

Domestic flower bouquet entertainment mainly focuses on content creation.

She's not good at it.

The data-driven internet, such as streaming media, is more suitable for her.

Li Mingyang just didn't want her to have too much power, but he never intended to stop her from doing any work...

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

Zhang Wei used silence to keep Li Xiuman from rambling on about "his childhood trip to Dongda University".

"President Zhang, I'll be going now. Let's talk again tomorrow. I still have many ideas."

"I don't have time tomorrow."

"The day after tomorrow is fine."

"..."

Zhang Wei didn't speak, silently scrolling the mouse while looking at the screen.

Seeing Lee Soo-man open the door and leave out of the corner of her eye, Zhang Wei immediately stood up, went to the door, and locked it from the inside.

To prevent Lee Soo-man from finding another excuse to come back.

Then, she picked up the phone on her desk and notified the receptionist that Lee Soo-man was not allowed to enter the company the next day.

After finishing all this, Zhang Wei sat back down in her chair, her eyes fixed on the messages in the group chat between July and An Sheng.

This group was created by Yang Mi, and it has many members, mainly from the cast and crew of the TV series "July and Ansheng".

In addition, Zhang Wei, Wu Zhikui, and Guo Fan were also in the group.

The three of them joined later.

The reason is that Yang Mi was worried that the July and An Sheng project would fail, so she asked the three of them to come in and help cover for it!
