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

Chapter 681 Miss Republic of China
"Would you like me to continue teaching you, Miss?"

"Um……"

……

Li Mingyang, who witnessed all of this, was able to withstand it.

Jing Tian couldn't take it anymore. She tugged at Li Mingyang's arm and said, "Honey, I'm so... annoyed."

"Want Bai Bin to blow on it for you?" Li Mingyang grinned mischievously, looking at Bai Bin sitting on the sofa behind him, legs crossed, chin resting on his hand.

Shirahama is a severely ill patient; this kind of minor ailment can't possibly affect her mentally.

However, upon hearing Li Mingyang's words, she immediately felt like cursing in her heart.

Jing Tian frowned, her disgust completely undisguised. "You're disgusting."

"Look how well they play, how cute they are, how dedicated they are. You should learn from them."

"Hmph, I'm going to be a female director someday."

"Does becoming a director mean you stop acting?"

"Hmm...we still need to film it. I want to learn from Teacher Xu."

Although Xu Jinlei was badly tricked by Li Mingyang last time, Maoyan and Nuomi deleted their close enemies.

Not only are ticket subsidies unusable, but ticketing platforms are also unusable.

He died instantly.

But Xu Jinlei is still the most awesome female director in mainland China.

But this one is the best, and we'll have to change actors soon, because "So Young" starring Yanzi is about to be released!

"In that case, you should follow Teacher Xu's path. I originally had a movie that would be perfect for you, but let's forget about it."

Upon hearing that a movie was being made, Jing Tian immediately became excited.

The decision to trade one for one back then was far too hasty.

Without her husband to rely on, her life was incredibly difficult.

Liu Shishi has no husband, and there's also the story of "Scarlet Heart".

She doesn't have a husband, and everything she films fails... Aside from company resources, nobody wants to work with her...

She had long regretted it.

"Honey, what movie is it?" Jing Tian threw herself into her husband's arms.

hungry.

"Miss's Chinese and Korean twin versions."

"Get lost, I don't want to film erotic movies." Jing Tian was unhappy and glared at him.

Li Mingyang smiled slightly and gave a brief summary of the Republic of China version of "Miss": "In the winter of 1922, a young woman named Xiao Jinyu from London, England, moved into a garden villa in Shanghai."

The villa belonged to Xiao Jinyu's father—a businessman who traveled to England to trade tea.

A shipwreck claimed the lives of Xiao Jinyu's parents, and her only uncle became her only family.

Although my uncle came from a wealthy family, he was a writer of erotic novels with an eccentric personality, and spent his days organizing and reading aloud from the collection in the villa's library.

And they encouraged Xiao Jinyu to read and perform.

One day, the intrusion of a stranger brought life to Jin Yu's long-parched soul. He was Li Mingyang, a bibliophile who came to repair and forge books for his uncle.

Yes, that person is me.

Li Mingyang's true identity is just a low-life hoodlum. He is the son of a simple fisherman who grew up dealing with fish and shrimp in the port.

Unlike his father, who endured the wind and sun at sea year after year, Li Mingyang was born with a fair and delicate appearance. As if awakening, he felt that he was going to make a name for himself by relying on his brains and good looks.

He was better at winning the hearts of wealthy women than doing manual labor.

He heard from the smokers in Baoxing Lane that Jin Yu had a large dowry, so he came up with the idea of ​​making money by swindling her into marriage. That's how he found Xiao Shuixian.

Little Narcissus had a gambling father, a sick mother, and a bunch of younger siblings, so she had no choice but to turn to theft.

Li Mingyang found Xiao Shuixian, offered her a large sum of money, and sent her to work as a maid in the garden villa.

The clever little narcissus became Miss Jin's maid.

The three met in the corridor of this old house, a blend of Chinese and Western styles.

A meticulously crafted conspiracy awaits everyone…

Jing Tian listened with great interest, then suddenly raised her head and said, "This story seems a bit familiar... Oh, I remember now, it's a bit like the romance between Zhang Guorong and Gong Li."

"Temptress Moon" is a period film set in the Republican era, directed by Chen Kaizi and starring Zhang Guorong and Gong Li.

Yu Zhongliang, a young man who lost both his parents, went to Suzhou to seek refuge with his sister Xiuyi, who had married into the prominent Pang family. Everyone in the Pang family was addicted to opium, and Zhongliang was constantly bullied and insulted by his brother-in-law. In a fit of anger, he used opium to cripple his brother-in-law and escaped from the Pang mansion.

Zhongliang, who ended up in Shanghai by chance, joined the gang of a triad boss and became a conman who used his looks to seduce rich women and then extort money from them.

After the death of the Pang family patriarch, the eldest daughter Ruyi was appointed to take charge. However, due to the strong patriarchal ideology of the clan elders, they sent Duanwu, a distant relative who had always been close to Ruyi, to serve her and ordered Duanwu to monitor and restrain her from the side. But Duanwu was extremely loyal to Ruyi.

This movie is very good.

There is no doubt that Kevin Kelly's masterpiece is Farewell My Concubine, which won the Palme d'Or.

As for "Feng Yue," Li Mingyang believes it can be filmed as a second film.

The core of the stock market story and the actors' performances are both excellent.

There are some random, didactic scenes, and some nonsensical, mystical moments.

Ignoring the nonsensical scenes and some plot holes, this movie is one of the few good films by Kai.

"You've actually read erotic literature?" Li Mingyang was quite surprised.

"Of course, I'm serious about directing. I've watched a lot of art films in the last six months."

"So, do you want to act in it or not? It's not an erotic film, why would I possibly make an erotic film?"

Jing Tian thought about it and agreed, but she had a physical aversion to the idea of ​​a prostitute being an assistant director!

I don't want to take pictures.

"Honey, when are you going to film your Lingya trip?"

"Oh, you've already taken pictures of your own name, so don't even think about taking pictures of Lingya's trip."

"No, honey, I want to film it! I want the Lingya trip! I'll listen to you from now on... Let's film it together! If we join forces, breaking 2 billion at the box office won't be difficult!"

Who taught you all this?

Let's join forces again.

Even if we break the 2 billion box office mark, it's me who broke it, it has nothing to do with you.

Li Mingyang did not agree to Jing Tian's request. Instead, he turned to Bai Bin, who was sitting upright, and said, "Bai Bin, Jing Tian doesn't want to act. Are you willing?"

Bai Bin was stunned. She had been longing to become an actress for so long, and didn't want to be treated as a tool. The worst part was that being a tool would involve so many things, which was incredibly frustrating.

"I do, I do!"

Jing Tian blinked, sensing something was wrong. Did she feel like she'd been set up?
My husband has too many tricks up his sleeve.

It's very likely that they didn't want to give it to me, so they deliberately said they would!
My husband only makes a maximum of three movies a year, and every single one of them is a masterpiece!

The film "My Soulmate" grossed 241 billion won in South Korea. Despite rampant piracy in South Korea, it still grossed tens of millions of won!

If it weren't for fans protesting the box office fraud...

It will easily surpass 100 million.

Jing Tian genuinely thought that this movie, which cost less than three million to make, was just a cheap gimmick, but she never expected it to gross so much at the box office.

The combined box office revenue between China and South Korea exceeded 200 million...

It grossed more than the combined box office of her three most recent films...

"Honey, I didn't say I wouldn't film!" Jing Tian protested, sitting on Li Mingyang's lap.

"Making a movie isn't like going to a hotel room, where you can back out at the last minute. If you agree to make a movie, you have to do it."

"I'll think about it. Anyway, there's no rush."

You're not in a hurry, but I am!

Bai Bin suddenly stood up, pointed at the monitor, and said, "Boss, I can accept this level of leniency!"

Jing Tian turned to look at Bai Bin, gave her a disdainful look, then turned Li Mingyang's face back and said with a bright smile, "I'm talking to you, look at me."

"Shirahama said she could accept this level of professionalism, and I think she's more dedicated."

"If I can accept you sleeping with her, then I'm even more dedicated, okay?"

This twisted logic actually makes a lot of sense.

Li Mingyang reached out and hit Jing Tian's thigh, a chill running through him.

It's cool and very comfortable.

Bai Bin cursed inwardly as Jing Tian ruined her plans, but dared not show it on her face.

"Sweetie, Director Lee has a lot of resources. There's also Train to Busan this summer, and the male lead in that movie is Won Bin!" "Won Bin from The Lone Ranger?"

"Yes, Director Li even specially invited him to be a guest on the last episode of Running Man."

Jing Tian's mind immediately started working. The Yuan Bin of four years ago and the Yuan Bin of now are two completely different things!
A top K-pop star, and a super top star who has retired from acting!
"Honey, you're amazing! Didn't he retire from acting? How did you manage to get him to come?"

"We wouldn't have been able to invite him originally, but for some reason, he agreed, but you won't be in this movie."

"Why... no, I don't care, I want to film, I want to film. I don't want to film some Republic of China era young lady, I want to film Train to Busan."

Li Mingyang turned his head and beckoned to Bai Bin with his finger, "Come here."

Bai Bin lowered his head, feeling very frightened, and carefully moved his small steps to Li Mingyang.

Before Li Mingyang could speak, he immediately spoke.

He immediately knelt down.

"Director Li, I won't do it again next time."

"You know where you went wrong."

"My responsibility is to relieve your stress, not add to it. I shouldn't have brought up the Busan project just so I could act, diverting Ms. Jing's attention and causing you a lot of trouble... Director Lee, I was wrong." After saying this, Bai Bin bowed deeply, his collar wide open, revealing his white snow-covered collar, showing his sincerity.

"What a bitch..."

Jing Tian had just noticed Bai Bin's little action: as he knelt down, he unbuttoned his collar.

Bai Bin rolled his eyes inwardly. "You girl who doesn't know the hardships of life, do you think I want to be that pathetic? I was forced into it!"

Do you know how bad he is?!
"Take off your clothes," Li Mingyang ordered.

Bai Bin quickly took off his clothes. Jing Tian was stunned at first, then reacted and said angrily, "What do you want to do? Don't take them off!"

Bai Bin refused to take his clothes off. Although Li Mingyang was a scoundrel, he was still a person in front of Jing Tian...

"You haven't seen Shirahama's body yet, have you?"

"Who wants to watch that? It's disgusting!"

Snapped!Snapped!
Jing Tian slapped Li Mingyang's hand away with her backhand, then stepped off him with her left foot on the ground.

"You're not allowed to touch me today!"

After saying that, Jing Tian ran her fingers through her hair and was about to leave when she remembered something as she opened the door. She turned back and took the notebook from the table with her.

When passing by Shirahama, the contempt in their eyes was palpable.

Bang!
The door was slammed shut.

The loud noise made Kim Min-hee and Kim Tae-ri, who were exhausted next door, mistakenly think that the director wanted them to continue.

He shifted his gaze from the monitor to Shirahama.

Bai Bin understood immediately, straddled Li Mingyang's lap, and took Jing Tian's place.

"Xiao Bai, do you know why Jing Tian despises you?" Li Mingyang kissed Bai Bin's calf and said with a wicked smile.

"A wife? That's normal. Who doesn't look down on their secretary?"

"That's not normal, she only looks down on you."

Bai Bin placed his hands against Li Mingyang's waist and abdomen to stop him from exerting force, and asked in confusion, "Why? I actually really want to get along well with her."

"Because you are all four beauties of the capital!"

Shirahama tilted his head, his confusion deepening.

"Because of your similar reputation, every time she sees you, she projects herself onto you... Seeing how despicable you are, she feels like her dignity has been violated..."

"No way?"

"Probably, otherwise there's no way to explain it. Of course, I also really hope that Sweetie can be like you, no, even more obedient than you."

snort! man!

Bai Bin inwardly scoffed, withdrawing his hands that had been blocking his way. Instead, he hooked his forearm around Li Mingyang's neck. "Master, do you want me to lie with Tian Tian and receive your favor?"

"It looks like it won't work."

"That's so boring."

"..."

"Miss, you'll be the female lead in this Chinese-Korean twin version."

"Really...?! Master, you're really willing to give me a chance?"

“I, Li Mingyang, will not treat those who risk their lives for me unfairly. Do a good job.”

"Ok!"

Shirahama pursed her lips, her happiest smile, though it looked a bit like crying.

A hint of pitiful grievance lingered beneath the bright sunshine.

But it looks better than her usual professional, fake smile.

Sincerity is always the most touching thing!
……

The next day, Kim Min-hee and Kim Tae-ri were so exhausted they couldn't get up.

It wasn't until after 4 p.m. that the two women finally mustered the energy to get up.

Last night, the two women filmed for more than four hours... They didn't stop until Li Mingyang yelled "cut," they were so exhausted that they collapsed.

"Why don't you two rest a bit more and film again tomorrow?" Li Mingyang said worriedly, looking at the two women who looked very tired.

“No need… Director… We can do it.” Kim Min-hee pinched her throat and shook her head firmly.

"Yes, Director! It's just... I'm still sleepy, I'll be fine in a bit." Kim Tae-ri said firmly, clenching her little fists.

Look how dedicated they are!

The scene requires a change of rooms; the bedroom is in a retro French style, showcasing the beauty of symmetry in every detail.

The layout and lighting are very sophisticated.

The light source alone took more than a week to design.

"Crack!"

After Li Mingyang yelled "Cut!", he stood up from his chair and went to the next room.

He personally draped white bathrobes over the two women.

"Filming wrapped up! Great job! You guys were awesome!" Li Mingyang said to the two women.

Kim Min-hee and Kim Tae-ri gave awkward smiles, glanced at Lee Myung-yang's girlfriend behind him, who had her arms crossed and looked very unhappy.

Without saying much, he bowed, clutched his towel tightly, and went to the bathroom to change.

If Jing Tian hadn't been on set, she would have definitely gone to a nightclub to have fun after filming wrapped up, so that their acquaintance and collaboration wouldn't have been in vain!
For now, we can only look for another opportunity.

Jing Tian had many opinions about him and kept a close eye on him, preventing him from realizing many of his ideals.

This made him lose all interest in filming with An Sheng in July.

It must be quite boring.

Around 9 p.m., Li Mingyang, Jing Tian, ​​Jin Minxi, and Jin Taili took a group photo in front of the Japanese-style building on set.

Miss, that means you've officially wrapped up filming.

Li Mingyang had Bai Bin take Jin Minxi and Jin Taili home, and then he started calling the costume and prop manager of the Miss drama crew, asking them to bring people to the set to seal off the location.

The props for the young lady are very expensive.

Many antique furniture pieces.

When the crew arrived, the location was sealed off.

After checking everything, Li Mingyang led Jing Tian to the Dongyang Building.

Li Mingyang went to check the progress of your name application.

Jing Tian then worked on the Pangu special effects and oversaw the post-production.

It was said to be an observation, but it was actually a visit. Jing Tian understood special effects production, but not much... She was very curious about the top three special effects companies in South Korea.

After spending the entire night in the animation department of Your Name, Li Mingyang discovered that the progress of Your Name was much slower than he had expected.

Moreover, returning to work is a regular occurrence...

"You two, give me a definite time! When exactly are you going to get your name out?"

Ah Huo and Xiao Ye lowered their heads, not daring to speak.

"I didn't mean to blame you. You did a good job keeping it a secret. Even those little devils didn't leak it. Now the whole world thinks that the 'Your Name' anime will be released in Japan this summer."

Ah Huo breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Li Mingyang didn't seem to blame him. "This was all Xiao Ye's idea. Xiao Ye arranged eight Japanese maids for them to take care of their daily lives. The Japanese devils willingly handed over their cell phones and even signed confidentiality agreements with high compensation."

"So easy to handle?"

"They're probably all nerds... they haven't had much contact with women, and they're all acting like they're on steroids..."
