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

Chapter 747 Everyone Will Love You
“I don’t think we have anything to talk about. I’ve already given you a second chance. Without FBTV, you would have resigned by now,” Li Mingyang said to Li Meijin, who was sitting in the front row.

The others went to the restaurant first.

"We should have a serious talk."

"Don't try to manipulate me with your feelings. Although we haven't known each other for long, you know me. I won't take any risks for no reason, especially not the risk of being suspected by Ms. Park. We have a good relationship, and you know that."

"This isn't the place for you."

"If I hadn't been forced into it, I wouldn't have even gone to South Korea."

Li Mingyang lit a cigarette and said calmly.

This short sentence left Li Meijin silent for a long time.

She finally understood why Li Mingyang was unwilling to have a proper talk with her.

Why do Koreans, who have more freedom, not have much to miss?

Li Mingyang has a strong attachment to his hometown; it's a habit of his.

He was used to this land.

No matter how far I go, I want to come back here again.

Just like her.

She didn't want to leave Korea.

He didn't want everything he had built with his own hands to be ruined for five years!

“We are the same kind of people, we are the best companions,” Li Meijin said.

“We are not the same kind of people. I can be the best companion with anyone, but you are different. Your position determines that you need loyalty.”

There has never been loyalty between us, has there?

Are you now regretting investing in me?

"Although this result is very upsetting... I believe she will be even more upset than I am in the future." Li Meijin suddenly thought of something and burst into uncontrollable laughter in her seat.

Li Mingyang could understand.

After all, they had been focused on the east and had painstakingly built their business over many years.

Ultimately, however, they were blocked from joining forces with China.

Isn't that exactly what happened to Miss Park later on?

Ultimately, it's because they overestimated themselves.

Li Mingyang understood as soon as he came down from the mountain!

Don't try to take what others don't think you can take; make yourself stronger! Stronger! Stronger!
Then one day, you will be able to get back what you want.

Li Mingyang has been waiting for his superiors to change their minds and has been constantly strengthening his resolve. He has been doing a lot lately.

Ultimately, it all boils down to one thing: showing those above a hopeful future.

However, the authorities are still determined to sell FBTV.

Let's sell it then.

It doesn't matter, as long as he's a shareholder of FBTV, he'll get it back sooner or later.

Back in its own hands...

In fact, judging from FBTV's development momentum, it would be difficult for him to guarantee his shareholding ratio if it were to be listed on the US stock market.

He started his career in film and television, but he didn't have that much money to make an investment.

As for switching tracks, there's a long queue in China, and overseas markets are already monopolized by capital...

Entering the market blindly can lead to certain death without even knowing how.

He is most familiar with the entertainment industry, where he reigns supreme.

Other traditional industries can't compete...

Looking at the world, traditional industries are full of oligopolies, giants, funds, and capital; they are all born into wealth.

Only in the internet and technology industries do some exceptional individuals emerge.

Li Meijin laughed for a long time, until her face turned red and tears streamed down her face.

“Director Li, I have an idea. Let’s go to Hollywood together. I have a way to help you get FBTV back.”

"Don't go."

Don't you want to get FBTV back?

“What’s the point of taking it back? That thing is getting more and more out of control. Even if I take it over, I’ll still have to find someone to take charge. I don’t want to waste my time and energy on pointless infighting, so I might as well let it go.”

"Are you willing?"

"Even if I don't become the chairman of the board, I will still be the major shareholder. Why would I be reluctant to give it up? Isn't it better to watch others work for me?"

"Then look for an opportunity to acquire it? It's useless. First, you don't have enough funds. Second, Wall Street is planning to merge Netflix and Facebook TV."

"Your second point is invalid. I don't believe they'd be willing to give Netflix such a good deal."

"You need Hollywood's help. The relationship between Hollywood and Wall Street is very simple: it's all about money. As long as the price is right, Hollywood won't care because the world's best copyrighted content is in Hollywood's hands... Hollywood only cares about money, and others will just pick up what's readily available. It's only a matter of time before Netflix and Facebook merge."

Li Mingyang waved his hand, "That's not important. What I need is a content output platform. As long as they don't get in the way, I can compromise."

"You've overlooked something very important: the Wall Street bet. That's no joke. If FBTV's revenue doesn't exceed five billion US dollars, you'll have to pay out five billion US dollars. The debt will snowball... Right now, everyone is wary of you. But if you go bankrupt, everyone will love you!"

"..."

"Hollywood is your best choice; the value of the copyright is beyond your imagination!"

Li Mingyang turned to look at Li Meijin, his interest piqued.

To be honest, monetizing copyrights in China is a real pain.

Hollywood is different; it has the most channels and the largest market for monetizing copyrights in the world.

It's not as detailed as a notebook, but it's plentiful and filling.

The basic needs of Americans are the same as their needs for food; as long as the quantity is large enough to fill them up, they're satisfied.

"You've said so much, tested me for so long, all you want is my copyright?"

“Guangxian has no understanding of copyright operations. Leave it to me, and one day in the future you will be deeply grateful for today’s wise decision.”

"all?"

"all."

Li Mingyang pondered for a moment and said, "I agree... but we'll have to wait until after the next joint meeting."

Li Meijin nodded, her smile both kind and cruel.

Li Mingyang couldn't understand how a person could simultaneously smile with both kindness and cruelty.

……

September 10, Macau.

The fifth match of the Battle of the Century: Li Mingyang versus Fahai and Zhao Wenzhuo!

That evening, the opening of this match did not garner as much attention as the previous match against Zhen Zhidan.

At the start of the war, the number of spectators was less than ten million.

Li Mingyang fought four "battles of the century" in a row. His first opponent was Ma Dong-seok, followed by Tony Jaa, Zou Zhaolong, and Zhen Zhidan.

Compared to the other four, Zhao Wenzhuo is probably the strongest.

Li Mingyang fought him before; he was incredibly fast and even sent a group of people to beat him up. He was a real fighter.

Even when drunk, he can take on ten people at once!

In addition, this guy has been actively preparing for the competition since last year. He is about the same height as Li Mingyang. He started by building muscle and has recently been losing fat.

When Li Mingyang met with Zhao Wenzhuo backstage, he felt that this guy was not easy to deal with.

When they actually went to fight, Li Mingyang exchanged a few blows with her. He relied on his bald head, white cape, yellow jumpsuit, and red boxing gloves to create a comical appearance that Zhao Wenzhuo found difficult to adapt to.

He punched the other person several times.

But this guy is really tough; he was unharmed.

They continued their energetic performance in the second round.

offstage.

"Director Li's biggest advantage used to be speed, but that advantage disappeared when he fought Zhao. Zhao is also very fast, and he can't outlast him. Zhao pays great attention to health and doesn't overexert himself, so he has a lot of stamina. That's the benefit of martial arts. No one else has been able to bring that out," Li Lianjie commented.

"Then who should we bet on to win?" Yanzi asked.

"We'll see how this round goes. Director Li's comical antics are having a huge impact on the opponent." After saying that, Li Lianjie turned his head and laughed again.

Jack Ma had seen Li Mingyang's look before and adapted to it faster than others. Watching the two men clashing and dodging quickly in the octagon, he nodded to himself, "This match is more exciting than the previous ones. The previous few guys were all stunned by the jaw-breaking punches."

“Mr. Ma, if you want something exciting, you can let that guy do it. It’ll definitely give you a good laugh,” Li Lianjie said, pointing to the bald, burly man in the distance.

Jack Ma looked in the direction the finger was pointing and saw a fierce-looking bald man sitting with his arms crossed. His body was covered in tattoos and scars, and he looked like a ruthless guy.

Who is this?

“Li Mingyang’s henchmen have worked on Outlaw City. If your bodyguard team were to fight this guy bare-handed, Mr. Ma, they wouldn’t be able to beat him.”

"Really?" Jack Ma became interested.

"Of course it's true. How can I lie to you?"

Jack nodded, turning around to see what was going on. He was now mainly concerned with how Li Mingyang would win.

This is clearly a promotion for One-Punch Man; it wouldn't look good if they lost.

Given Zhao Wenzhuo's unsociable and meticulous personality, he probably wouldn't fix a fight.

There was a lot of discussion in the audience.

Jing Tian was also present, along with her boss Lu Zhen, Wanda Lao Wang, Xiao Wang, and Li Xiucheng, surrounded by members of the Huo and He families, all watching the game together.

However, Jing Tian was not interested in the business these people were discussing; her attention was entirely on the stage.

Every time Li Mingyang threw a punch, she thought it was going to hit and was about to clap when he dodged it.

It flashed by too fast.

She worked with Zhao Wenzhuo for a while, and he was often accidentally injured by extras on set. This dodging was clearly beyond the limit!
Li Mingyang on stage was playing mahjong, and Zhao Wenzhuo was acting like he was on drugs, both of them were showing Observation Haki.

He threw every punch at empty air.

The only saving grace is that Zhao Wenzhuo did not retaliate.

The second round ended. Li Mingyang was exhausted. He leaned against the wire mesh, watered himself, drank some water, and closed his eyes to rest.

"Boss, why don't you take off your clothes? They're too tight and they're affecting your speed," the coach said.

"Stop talking nonsense, it's just a piece of clothing, how did that guy dodge so fast?"

"It's not that you dodged quickly, it's that the guy had an expert analyze your punching path and power generation method. How should I put it, boss, you are stronger than Zhao Wenzhuo in terms of stamina, strength, and speed, but he is experienced, he has learned from many schools of thought, he knows too much... Boss, you have practiced too one-dimensionally, you can only do stand-up boxing. Fortunately, you don't have the habit of raising your legs, otherwise you would be in big trouble."

Mixed martial arts allows the use of legs, but Li Mingyang is afraid to kick because he lacks experience and it's dangerous to use them recklessly.

Basically, clinging to someone's leg means game over.

By the third round, Li Mingyang finally understood why the coach had made him take off his clothes. He could clearly feel the restriction of the clothes and his physical strength had dropped to a certain level, which he could no longer ignore.

Li Mingyang slowed down, ceasing his relentless pursuit and aggressive attacks.

They started by luring Zhao Wenzhuo to attack, but Zhao Wenzhuo's attacks were actually limited to punches; he didn't dare use his legs.

Only Muay Thai has so many kicking techniques, and most of them are sweeping kicks.

Flying knee strikes and similar moves are typical examples of dominant, one-sided games.

The match had progressed to the third round, which had lasted for almost ten minutes.

Zhao Wenzhuo was not in a hurry at all. Li Mingyang did not launch a strong attack, and neither did he. The two sides just stayed at it.

However, if it's wasted, it won't look good.

Moreover, the odds don't allow him to waste any more time.

The goal of maximizing profits in the betting game is to end the third round.

The coach held up one finger, indicating that there was one minute left.

Li Mingyang's eyes narrowed, and the Tyrant's Battle Spirit was activated. He upgraded both the Rukawa Kaede Experience Card and the Sweet Mask Experience Card to the maximum level!
There is no possibility of improvement!
However, war can affect the body, accelerating blood circulation, increasing the efficiency of the heart's pumping, forcibly enhancing reaction speed, and gaining greater strength.

Li Mingyang crouched low and charged forward, taking two punches from Zhao Wenzhuo head-on. He successfully closed the distance and no longer sought a fatal blow, instead attacking the body.

He swung his fist with great force.

Seeing this, Zhao Wenzhuo stopped dodging and braced himself against the attack.

Without the boxing gloves, Zhao Wenzhuo's arm could have been broken, but the gloves greatly reduced the force.

He bent over furtively, his defenses were impenetrable.

Zhao Wenzhuo adopted a defensive counter-attacking strategy, preparing to counterattack when Li Mingyang was exhausted.

I've been waiting for an opportunity.

Then, he noticed something unusual: Director Li's punches were getting heavier and heavier.

I can't take it anymore!

At this moment, he finally understood the pain of Zhen Zhidan, Zou Zhaolong, and Tony Jaa.

Once Li Mingyang gets a chance to unleash his full potential, defense becomes useless.

Zhao Wenzhuo steeled his resolve, preparing to abandon defense and engage in a firefight with Li Mingyang.

Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
The two played a brutal style of play, completely abandoning defense, and exchanged blows for three seconds.

They both hit each other's chins.

Zhao Wenzhuo fell straight to the ground, while Li Mingyang, who had raised his head, slowly straightened it and remained standing.

Li Mingyang has an absolute advantage in terms of resistance to blows.

……

"Holy crap, this guy's fists are really hard!"

When I was shooting, my adrenaline was so high that I didn't feel anything.

After the beating was over, Li Mingyang started crying out in pain.

"Your bald head is quite amusing," Jing Tian said carelessly, stroking Li Mingyang's bald head.

Li Mingyang flicked his finger, hitting Jing Tian's index finger. Jing Tian felt as if struck by lightning, crying out in pain and clutching her hand.

"A man's head should not be touched."

Jing Tian snorted in dissatisfaction.

After they came down the mountain, Jing Tian turned into a shrew again and even set up a trap for him without her consent.

A scheme involving Wanda.

The medical team began examining the injury and applying medication, working on it for quite a while.

Li Mingyang's injuries gradually became apparent, his face bruised and swollen... Zhao Wenzhuo's fists could break through his defenses.

A dozen minutes later, Li Mingyang arrived at the second floor, at the Cantonese restaurant, in a large private room that could seat twenty people.

Jack and Lao Wang had a very pleasant conversation.

Old Wang is pretentious, and Jack Ma's smile is a bit lewd.

Old Wang was truly amazing during this period!
Not long ago, Wang Jianlin became the richest man in Southeast University for the first time with a net worth of 1350 billion yuan, enjoying unparalleled fame.

And this... is just the beginning for Lao Wang.

In 2016, in the banquet hall of the Wanda Sofitel Hotel in Beijing.

Old Wang said to the camera with high spirits, "Let's set a small goal first, like earning 100 million."

At that time, he had just surpassed Li Ka-shing to become Asia's richest man with a net worth of US$287 billion. The Wanda empire had 300 Wanda Plazas, 1300 cinemas, and 80 five-star hotels shining like stars.

Wanda is really something else!

This is the wind of politics.

Ali was very eager, and everyone else was envious. The whole room was filled with people singing his praises and flattering him.

Li Mingyang naturally joined in the praise.

Old Wang was all smiles, looking every bit the leader.

only……

If Lao Wang knew that his Wanda Group would ultimately be devoured by these so-called underlings, what would he think?

What must Xiao Wang, this young talent who was praised to the skies, think now that all his investments have been manipulated?

Ultimately, someone has to carry the banner of cultural tourism, and in terms of seniority, Wanda is the most qualified.

Wanda's main businesses are real estate and cinema chains.

Similar to cultural tourism combined with film and television.

However, Lao Wang was not in a hurry to participate; he wanted to reap the rewards.

Midway through the drinking session, after Old Wang finished his boasting, he took the initiative to ask Li Mingyang if he had any filming plans recently.

Li Mingyang stated that he has no plans to make movies and his focus remains on cultivating talent.

When I have free time, I might do some boxing, act, or hold a concert.

These are turbulent times...

The so-called "Sword Net Action" was indeed initially intended to whitewash his image, and they went to great lengths to do so, with the assistance of multiple departments and even involving the courts!
However, in mid-July, when his 'fans' were nearing the end of their campaign to denounce him.

A massive crackdown on online rumor-mongering has swept the nation, moving from behind the scenes to the forefront, from online to offline, and from the virtual world to the real world.

"Qin Huohuo," "Li Erchai Si," Xue Manzi, Zhou Lubao... one after another, these "internet tycoons" who once acted recklessly in the online world were stripped bare in this operation, exposing their unknown ugly deeds behind the scenes, which shocked the society.

Online hype has created a group of so-called internet celebrities. These people became famous because of the hype, and then became even more unscrupulous in their hype.

Some so-called internet celebrities have long been fabricating fake news, deliberately distorting facts, creating trouble, confusing right and wrong, and reversing black and white online. They illegally profit by deleting posts to cover for others and tracing IP addresses, and they are thriving in the internet world.

I already know all of these.

Taking advantage of the "Sword Net" campaign to whitewash him, relevant departments have planned an even more ruthless and precise crackdown on online rumors and misinformation!
They were used as pawns.

This wasn't the first time he'd encountered this situation since returning to China.

He was given the right to choose, but every move he made was being watched by a large group of people.

Riding on his coattails, many followed suit and placed bets!

He is the driving force behind the convergence of China and South Korea.

He was the driving force behind the land acquisition boom in the cultural tourism industry.

The super low-priced ticket subsidy of 5.9 yuan is his.

He set a precedent for the simultaneous release of the Chinese-Korean co-production "Mr. Go".

iQiyi followed suit, acquiring 500 acres of land in Hengdian to build its own film and television shooting base; that was also him.

Of the three bodies, only Zuo Shandiao truly cared.

After everyone else invested their money and boasted, they all disappeared, since the biggest beneficiary of this project was Zuo Shandiao.

Everyone wants him to step down.

"Director Li, how was the feeling going up the mountain?" Old Wang, who had drunk a bit too much, suddenly asked.

This statement immediately attracted the attention of the bigwigs present, among whom JD.com's CEO, Dong, was the most concerned.

There were twenty people in the room.

The young people were him, Jing Tian, ​​and Xiao Wang.

Most of the others are located in the mountains.

The Huo family, the He family, Wanda, Alibaba, and Tencent.

Huawei, including its eldest daughter.

"The mountain is nice... but there are too few people, it's too deserted, not as lively as down below."

Li Mingyang told the truth.

The group of bigwigs smiled without saying a word.

Old Wang seemed to have sobered up and started talking about other things.

A bunch of bastards are messing with me.

Hehe, I'm going down the mountain.

I'll definitely come to see you after you fall down!
