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

Chapter 679: All those I see are enemies, and all of them can be killed!
Being a student of Tokyo University has very limited advantages.

To dominate the Asian streaming media scene is already an extraordinary achievement!
Of course, changing one's nationality is another matter.

Chinese Americans have a significant advantage.

If he changes his nationality, CJ will not face any financial sanctions.

He could easily leverage Hollywood's resources to build his own Asian streaming ecosystem.

The three major European leagues and the Oscars—none of these are problems; they're all very easy.

At your fingertips.

The Green Book, Oppenheimer, Anora... you can just grab them anywhere.

Li Mingyang was unwilling to change his nationality when he was a child, and he was even more unwilling when he grew up.

He is not short of money.

What he wants to do most is to make his mark on the world stage as a student of Tokyo University!

Stand at the pinnacle of global cinema and win your own Oscar!

Become someone like Spielberg!

if you can.

Li Mingyang wants to surpass him!

But achieving all of this in a way that benefits everyone is impossible!
We need to use Netflix's method.

Those who follow me will prosper, those who go against me will perish!

Everyone I see is an enemy, and everyone can be killed!
……

Yanbei, Chang'an Club.

"President Jia, you're truly brilliant! You've actually used foreign capital to crush Bouquet CJ. Li Mingyang probably won't be laughing this time, haha!" Wang Dajun laughed loudly.

"None of us are idiots. Everyone can see Li Mingyang's intentions. I was just going with the flow." Old Jia raised his glass and clinked it with Wang Dajun's.

"CJ (a Chinese stock market platform) has become a junk stock now, it's hilarious."

"You bet, shorting in South Korea is incredibly lucrative."

"Li Mingyang's face is probably green by now."

"Several giants on Wall Street are watching him closely. I don't believe he can turn things around this time."

"By the way, why is Wall Street making such a big fuss about targeting Bouquet CJ this time? If Bouquet CJ were really that good, its valuation wouldn't be only tens of billions."

Dong Ping took a sip of Moutai, puffed on a cigar, and squinted as he said, "The reason why Bouquet CJ is valued at 10 billion is because in South Korea, Wall Street wants to list Bouquet CJ on the US stock market, and then its market value is hard to say."

"Damn it, aren't we just doing Li Houzi's bidding?"

"Haha, how could we possibly grant Li Mingyang's wish? Wall Street is a bunch of bandits; they won't let anyone get away with it. Unless Li Mingyang is delisted, he'll have to hand over control."

"It's so dark."

"That's how it is when a company is listed in South Korea; it has no power to fight back against Wall Street."

"If it goes public on the US stock market and becomes successful, Li Mingyang will make a fortune."

"He was already worth hundreds of millions when he was 21. Even though his net worth has plummeted now, he still has billions. Why would you want him to go bankrupt?"

"Li Houzi has no bad habits, low demands, and doesn't buy luxury goods, mansions, or luxury cars. He keeps a lot of maids at home who are both capable and hardworking. He really knows how to save money."

"He doesn't live a life of extravagance. He's either making movies or thinking up ideas to boost box office revenue. You basically won't see him unless a movie is released."

"Any directors in China who only want a share of the profits, don't want a salary, and will cover any budget shortfalls themselves..."

"He makes movies for himself, it's different. When has he ever made less money?"

"That's confidence for you!"

“That bastard Wang Changtian has stopped attending our drinking parties ever since he got involved with Li Mingyang, and he just eats by himself.”

"Haha, he can't eat anymore, he's going to throw up! CJ's stock price plummeted, and Lightspeed followed suit! I'm dying of laughter!"

Upon hearing this, Old Jia suddenly frowned. "Has Wang Changtian been back recently? I have a feeling he's been in Korea for almost two months now."

"I've never come back; I've been in Korea the whole time."

"Now that you mention it, Mr. Zhao from Huace and the Koreans he went with haven't come back yet."

"They're really carefree; they've been gone for almost two months."

"CJ Bouquet has already made such a mess, and they still won't go back to China. Do they still think they can turn things around?"

"It's good that they want to turn things around! If they don't, where will we make money? Haha!"

Old Jia verbally agreed, but inwardly he was very puzzled. Wang Changtian and Boss Zhao were still lingering in the Korean camp. Did Li Mingyang have some other trump card up his sleeve?

But after thinking it over, Li Mingyang's biggest trump card is the bouquet CJ.

They're still being targeted by Wall Street. Even if BAT (Baidu, Alibaba, Tencent) all come together, they'll be completely wiped out.

Moreover, BAT (Baidu, Alibaba, Tencent) will not participate at all; they are themselves members of Wall Street capital.

Just then, the door was pushed open, and Zhang Zhao and Yu Dong came in together.

With a smile on his face, Lao Jia pulled out a chair for Zhang Zhao and began to inquire about the Three-Body Problem project.

"Mr. Zhang, is there any progress on the matter of changing the director?"

Old Jia doesn't care who directs The Three-Body Problem; all he wants now is to see the Mountain Eagle step down.

The copyright to The Three-Body Problem doesn't belong to LeEco; it belongs to Li Mingyang.

He wouldn't even bother to check; if the filming went wrong, the director would be fully responsible!
He recently learned that several leaders have rather strict requirements for The Three-Body Problem... They want it to rival Hollywood...

"The State Administration of Radio, Film and Television's intention is for all three directors to come together," Zhang Zhao said.

"The State Administration of Radio, Film and Television? Isn't that what China Film Group calls the shots?"

"Zuo Shandiao pretended to be stupid the whole time, and even fell asleep... He didn't say a word."

"He started this whole thing, how can he stay silent?" Old Jia said excitedly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the large private room fell silent, everyone focused on the Three-Body Problem project.

Lee Myung-yang recently became a mascot, traveling between China and South Korea. He didn't even have time to be photographed by the Miss Cannes contestants; he's already qualified to be on the table.

Anyone who dares to kick him out of the Three-Body Problem project is politically incorrect!
"The Mountain Eagle is getting old, and he's worried that Li Monkey will go berserk."

"Although Li Houzi is shameless, he still cares a lot about his reputation."

"He's the one who cares most about his image."

The crowd was buzzing with discussion, and Old Jia downed three cups of wine in a row, feeling very depressed.

Not a single person in this room didn't want Zuo Shandiao to die sooner.

With so many Hollywood blockbusters coming out this summer, what happened to the supposed protection month for domestic films?
They're all hoping for soaring box office numbers so they can make a fortune in the stock market!

Isn't this cutting off their source of income?
We want more Spider-Man and Batman to fight each other!

Just as everyone was shaking their heads and sighing, making sarcastic remarks...

Zhang Zhao's phone rang, and he answered it.

Suddenly, he stood up. Because the content was too explosive, Zhang Zhao hung up the phone and remained stunned for a long time.

"What happened?" Old Jia asked curiously.

"Zuo Shandiao wants to kick out Li Mingyang, so he wants me to issue an announcement in the name of LeTV Pictures."

“He’s crazy. We won’t retaliate. Let’s see what he can do to us.”

"He also said that if I didn't do it, he would issue a statement in the name of China Film Group."

quiet!
Everyone in the room looked horrified!
Zuo Shandiao is surprisingly tough!

This is blatant defiance of the General Administration's opinion!

Although this was the result everyone wanted to see, no one laughed heartily... or even dared to show any joy.

They were afraid of being reported by their peers.

The domineering and decisive Mountain Eagle, who crushed everyone, is back!
……

Miss Film Crew.

Li Mingyang sat in the director's chair, looking at the message sent by Yu Dong. LeTV was not making an official announcement, while China Film Group was preparing to officially announce the new production team for The Three-Body Problem. The directors were Zhang Yimou and Tsui Hark, but not him.

As a result, Wang Changtian was also removed from the ranks of producers.

Is Yu Dong's information reliable?

"reliable."

Li Mingyang's anger!

It burst into flames in an instant.

"Should we sue?" Wang Changtian asked cautiously.

Li Mingyang held his forehead with both hands, thinking for more than ten minutes before finally raising his head, "Will it work?"

"It will definitely work! Look at your status, you're a landmark figure in Sino-Korean cultural exchange, and you even received a medal! This is an international issue!"

"If they're going to target me just because I bypassed China Film Group to film the prostitutes, then Zuo Shandiao (a notorious bandit leader) has no class whatsoever. Besides, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television supports me... Why would he..."

"Maybe he's just getting old!"

Li Mingyang stood up from the director's chair and paced back and forth in the study, which was a mix of Western and Japanese styles, but he still couldn't understand why Zuo Shandiao did what he did.

Does he really think I wouldn't dare mess with him?

Or do you feel your life is too boring and want to step down as soon as possible?

Li Mingyang had absolutely no idea what Zuo Shandiao was thinking.

"Don't be impulsive... wait a little longer, let me finish taking pictures of the lady."

Wang Changtian was stunned; he never expected that Li Mingyang would actually hold back.

He smiled with satisfaction, "Director Li, you've matured a lot. There are advantages to waiting... But if you don't shout a couple of times, people will think you're dead... I'll go back to China to take care of things."

"Ah."

After Wang Changtian left, Li Mingyang picked up the walkie-talkie and told the various departments to prepare.

Ten minutes later.

Inside the spacious study, rows of European-style embossed bookshelves are neatly arranged and filled with books, making it resemble a small library.

A Japanese woman dressed in a kimono sat inside the room, slowly reading aloud from the book in front of her in a voice that was sometimes gentle, sometimes charming, sometimes deep, and sometimes excited. Her voice was so captivating that it created a mysterious atmosphere throughout the bookstore.

A group of well-mannered gentlemen sat in front of the woman, dressed in elegant black suits. As the woman read aloud, they let out soft moans and couldn't help but shift their bodies in their chairs...

It seems we're about to reach some kind of peak...

"Click!" "Perfect!"

Li Mingyang stood up and led the applause.

Amid applause from dozens of people, Kim Min-hee slowly rose to her feet, her every move exuding both nobility and elegance, as well as captivating charm and charisma.

When Lee Myung-yang was casting, no one thought that Miss would be Kim Min-hee.

Kim Min-hee isn't pretty enough, not elegant enough, and even a bit rustic...

She's perfect for romance movies because she has a touch of innocence in her eyes and a clear gaze.

The South Korean actresses who were eliminated from the film, including Jo Yeo-jeong from the same production team, were all hoping that Lee Myung-yang would kick Kim Min-hee out of the production team and take her place.

However, as filming progressed, Kim Min-hee became more and more in line with the character of the mistress.

Both her temperament and appearance are like those of a completely different person.

It made Zhao Ruzhen feel genuinely beautiful.

The South Korean queen of witchcraft has an ordinary appearance; she can't even be considered a beauty with delicate features.

But one thing is certain: her eyes are absolutely stunning.

His eyes sparkled, bright and dark.

No matter how flat her nose is or how long her face is, you can only focus on her eyes.

Especially when she speaks, her tone is gentle, she loves to laugh and act coquettishly, and she doesn't use any particularly exaggerated gestures or movements. All of this combined makes her incredibly charming.

A person who smiles and a person who doesn't smile are completely different people!

It's unremarkable when still, but becomes absolutely stunning when in motion.

Her eyes, tone of voice, and movements were particularly captivating.

Kim Min-hee actually felt terrible when she first joined the crew. She couldn't find the feeling of a lady, and she felt unsophisticated. She thought she would be better off playing a maid.

Li Mingyang knew how to train.

However, before she could be properly trained, she figured it out on her own and made visible progress.

She's completely changed; she's at the peak of her beauty!

How many roles in a lifetime can an actor perfectly match?
Not many.

The best acting is playing your best self!

Kim Tae-ri is pretty, but not charming enough, which highlights the maid's pure and lovely nature.

In addition, Kim Tae-ri has a contradictory face.

She has a baby face, but also a sorrowful one.

This apparent contradiction allows her to interpret any role to the fullest extent.

It complements Kim Min-hee's mature femininity perfectly.

I have to say, Park Chan-wook really picked the two leading ladies.

Even their figures are a perfect match...

Kim Tae-ri is not short, at 166cm, while Kim Min-hee is even taller, at 172cm.

During filming, Li Mingyang wanted to put the two women on top of each other more than once.

However, Jing Tian was the assistant director of the crew, and since he was on set, he copied him and wore sunglasses.

It always feels weird.

If it weren't for Jing Tian, ​​Li Mingyang would have cleared the room out of the way and done something even more explicit in this study with its great atmosphere.

Sandwich cookies!

Around 9 PM, all the scenes in the study were filmed, and the crew wrapped up.

Upon hearing that filming was over, Lee Byung-hun and Ha Jung-woo quickly said goodbye and left.

Kim Min-hee, the erotic reader, read Kim P-mae's lines so well that it made many male readers' scalps tingle.

After finishing work, those two immediately ran off to have some fun.

Li Mingyang did not stop him from doing so.

The roles played by the two award-winning actors, the fake count and the uncle, actually had very simple requirements.

The more despicable and vile the performance, the more it highlights the brilliance of the two leading ladies.

The two award-winning actors were fantastic.

That despicable, shameless, filthy, and vulgar demeanor didn't seem like acting at all.

Ha Jung-woo portrayed the conman Fujiwara very well; his wicked expression, his obsession with money, and the way he smoked were all very convincing.

Lee Byung-hun's portrayal of the uncle forms the backdrop of the entire film.

No matter how sharp his suit was, he still looked dirty; even his eyes were dirty, as if he was born a dirty person.

He had a morbid love for obscene books.

He kept a huge, fat octopus in his basement.

He slowly cut off Fujiwara's fingers one by one.

He desperately wanted Fujiwara to tell him about his affair with the young lady...

It looks terrifying.

He perfectly portrayed the neurotic and crazy uncle.

"Is this the plot you came up with?" Jing Tian's voice suddenly rang out from behind.

Li Mingyang turned around and glanced at Jing Tian. He saw that Jing Tian was wearing large sunglasses, had her hair tied in a ponytail, was dressed in a light blue denim outfit, and was holding a sketchbook in her hand.

They're very motivated.

"How about it? Not bad, right?" Li Mingyang said with a smile.

Even though Jing Tian was wearing sunglasses, Li Mingyang could still tell that she was definitely rolling her eyes.

Jing Tian snorted, "What a filthy mind..."

"That's just human nature, you wouldn't understand even if I explained." Li Mingyang glanced at the time. "We finished work early today, want to go out for a walk?"

Jing Tian hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

A dozen minutes later, Li Mingyang drove a Mercedes-Benz van, with Jing Tian in the passenger seat and Bai Bin in the back, along the Han River, and finally stopped at a small market.

The three of them got off the car, strolled around the small market, and had a decent bowl of rice soup.

Finished the meal.

Jing Tian touched her belly and suggested walking back to the mansion in Chengbei Cave.

Li Mingyang didn't care, but Bai Bin did. She was wearing high heels and had walked more than 20 kilometers; her feet were about to give out.

"You drive, go back first." Li Mingyang tossed the car keys to Bai Bin.

Shirahama took the keys with both hands, hummed in agreement, and watched the two leave.

Li Mingyang and Jing Tian were more than a meter apart, which is not the distance between lovers.

"What a strange relationship. Are you saving it for the New Year?" Bai Bin teased, taking out his phone and snapping a picture of Li Mingyang and Jing Tian from a distance.

Jing Tian and Li Mingyang live in the same mansion.

They slept in separate rooms, though.

Jing Tian came to the Miss film crew with the purpose of learning.

But when Jing Tian arrived at the film set, she simply watched quietly and took notes silently.

He rarely speaks.

Bai Bin, carrying a large white bag, approached the Mercedes-Benz van, opened the driver's side door, tossed the bag to the passenger side, got in, and started the car.

As she passed Jing Tian and Li Mingyang, she stopped the car and asked, "Director Li, Jing Tian, ​​I'll be going now."

Li Mingyang waved his hand, signaling her to leave.

Jing Tian turned her head away, wearing sunglasses, and remained silent.

Bai Bin smiled, rolled up the car window, stepped on the gas, and sped away.

Bai Bin didn't find Jing Tian annoying before.

I really dislike Jing Tian now.

Although Jing Tian was wearing sunglasses, Bai Bin could sense from her behavior and body language that Jing Tian looked down on her...

All four beauties of Beijing are Bingxue, Wei, and Tian.

As time passed, their identities underwent significant changes.

One is a well-known resource-rich celebrity in the Chinese entertainment industry.

One was reduced to a private secretary.

"You brat, I was once a big star, but you're just not destined for fame! You can't help a good person like Liu Bei, and you can't make Jing Tian famous, hahaha."

Shirahama sneered.

Twenty minutes later, the Mercedes-Benz van slowly drove into Chengbeidong. While waiting for the traffic light at the intersection, Bai Bin's phone rang.

She picked up her phone; it was Li Ming calling.

"Sister Bai, something terrible has happened! The boss has been kicked out of the Three-Body Problem project."

"How did you know about something so important?"

"The trending topics on Weibo in China are in an uproar!"

Bai Bin hung up the phone, logged into Weibo on another phone, and saw that it was true news!

China Film Group announced the production team for The Three-Body Problem, only listing Zhang Yimou and Tsui Hark as directors, without mentioning Li Mingyang.

Bai Bin realized something was wrong and quickly called Li Mingyang, but the line was busy and he couldn't get through.

"Thinking about it, I'm sure a lot of people are calling their bosses right now."

Bai Bin parked his car on the side of the road and looked at his phone.

He suddenly gave a bitter laugh, "I never imagined I'd be such a failure; only Li Ming called me..."

As she spoke, tears involuntarily streamed down her face.

Shirahama hugged herself tightly, feeling wronged.
