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

Chapter 748 Jing Tian: My Parents Are Here

"Oh dear, that was so dangerous! I was so worried. If you had said the wrong thing, you would never have seen my dad again."

Jing Tian held Li Mingyang's arm tightly, and even through the thick fabric of the room, he could clearly feel Jing Tian's heartbeat.

"I suddenly regretted saying that."

"What did you say?"

Li Mingyang changed the subject, asking, "Is your dad here?"

"My parents are here."

Um, they're not here to talk about marriage, are they...?

"What are they here for?"

"Of course it's for our sake." Jing Tian smiled sweetly, her smile radiating happiness.

Li Mingyang's heart skipped a beat. He didn't want to get married... His backyard was going to explode.

"Is it really appropriate for me to meet my future in-laws looking like this?" Li Mingyang pointed to his bruised and swollen face and said with a wry smile.

“My dad said you fought with great spirit, and he admires that.”

"I have plenty of admirers."

Jing Tian stopped, pouted, and said unhappily, "You've met other parents-in-law? Don't you want to marry me?"

"I need the shareholders' approval to get married."

"You dare to relinquish control over the cultural tourism sector? You'd listen to the shareholders? If you're not willing, fine, I don't want to marry you anyway." Jing Tian said this, but her hands were clenched tightly.

Li Mingyang rubbed his nose. "Let's meet your parents first, don't keep them waiting."

Overjoyed, Jing Tian gave Li Mingyang a sweet kiss, took his right hand, and excitedly went to find her parents.

Jing Tian's parents live on the top floor of the City of Dreams Hotel in Macau, the only six-star hotel in Macau.

Jing Tian's parents...

According to Baidu, they are just ordinary wage earners... That's ridiculous.

Jing Tian thought Li Mingyang was meeting her parents for the first time, but in fact they had met them before.

I've met them in a past life.

In his previous life, he and Jing Tian were just ordinary classmates at school.

The two had some interaction, but not much.

It was only after he became a senior executive at Tencent Video and actively sought to build a relationship with Jing Tian that she realized he was her classmate.

It was from that time that the two gradually became acquainted and eventually became good friends.

Li Mingyang met Jing Tian's parents by chance.

Her parents were divorced at that time, and they came to visit her on set one after the other.

Li Mingyang thought that once he left Tencent Video, his relationship with Jing Tian would be over.

After all, the entertainment industry is very realistic.

Unexpectedly, Jing Tian didn't seem to care and often advised him to take it easy.

He's already very successful to have become a senior executive at Tencent Video!

It takes even greater courage to voluntarily descend the mountain.

Li Mingyang sat in the living room, looking at the still young uncle and aunt, listening to Jing Tian praising him against her conscience, saying that she would marry no one but him.

Suddenly, I felt a sense of emptiness inside.

His uncle and aunt were very satisfied with him, especially his uncle.

As long as he agrees, it's settled. They'll get engaged first, and then get married because the baby is pregnant.

"Honey, what do you think?" Jing Tian asked.

Li Mingyang glanced at Jing Tian, ​​and suddenly recalled Jing Tian from his past life.

Actually, he liked the gentle, considerate, and understanding cat-like Jing Tian from his past life.

When Jing Tian was questioning her life, he told her, "You are a hero."

Jing Tian looked at Li Mingyang's strange gaze; it was unfamiliar. He was clearly looking at her, but it was as if he were looking at someone else.

At that moment, Jing Tian was so sad, so very sad.

"Whatever you say," Li Mingyang said.

Jing Tian blinked, feeling like she had misheard.

But Jing Tian's parents heard about it and were very happy. They immediately started discussing the date and choosing an auspicious day for the engagement.

What should have been a happy moment turned sour when Jing Tian discovered that Li Mingyang had changed his mind.

She didn't show it.

She didn't want her parents to worry.

She didn't want to break up with Li Mingyang.

……

Jing Tian was very good at pretending in front of her parents.

But as soon as they got back to their hotel room, Jing Tian got angry!

"Who were you looking at just now?" Jing Tian grabbed Li Mingyang's ear and questioned him.

"What did you say?" Li Mingyang was speechless. What a bad habit of pinching ears.

You have someone else in your heart!

"There is no one else in my heart but you."

Li Mingyang felt that his "peach blossom eyes" had stopped working; they hadn't been effective on Jing Tian for a long time.

"You're lying! I was talking to you about getting engaged, but you were thinking about someone else. You're awful! You're bullying me!"

Wow, that's so sensitive... you can even feel that!
Li Mingyang knew that things wouldn't end well today.

He sighed, grabbed Jing Tian's slender waist with both hands, and traced her beautiful curves downwards, exploring her body.

Jing Tian's eyes widened, and she exerted force with both hands.

“I really wasn’t thinking about anyone else. I was thinking about you the whole time… You’re so perceptive, you can tell right away whether I’m telling the truth or not,” Li Mingyang said.

"So you admit you were thinking about someone else just now?"

Li Mingyang pursed his lips, jealous, and liked to play dumb.

Jing Tian gets jealous, gets angry easily, and is extremely sensitive; her IQ seems to be rising.

This kind of logical problem is easy to understand.

"How can I put it? You abuse me every day, constantly hitting and scolding me. I'm a Palme d'Or winner and a renowned director. How can I possibly feel good about being bullied like this by an actor like you?"

Jing Tian pursed her lips and loosened her grip considerably.

“When I looked at you just now, I saw the you of today, but in my heart I saw the Jing Tian who was so obedient and gentle to me like a cat not long ago.”

"Are you dreaming?"

“It’s not a dream. You can be both gentle and strong. When you’re gentle, you’re both beautiful and considerate. I put in a lot of effort when I was chiseling.” Li Mingyang brushed the hem of his jeans with his pinky finger.

"Nonsense! When have you ever not given it your all? When have you ever not been trying to kill me?"

"You're not dead, are you?" Li Mingyang grabbed the waistband of his jeans with both hands and pulled them apart, causing the buttons to fly off and the placket to tear.

The pink, semi-transparent panties are decorated with strawberries and cute little tigers.

"what!"

Jing Tian yelled and swung her fist at Li Mingyang, "Let go of me! If you don't explain yourself today, don't even think about touching me again!"

"What else is there to say? Everything has already been made clear."

"You really don't have anyone else in your heart?" Jing Tian asked suspiciously.

"No." Li Mingyang said firmly.

"Then what about sleeping with Liu Shishi behind my back?"

"..."

……

Jing Tian fell asleep.

Li Mingyang thoughtfully covered Jing Tian with a thin blanket, then took Jing Tian's small hand and lay down.

Start the lucky draw for Miss.

The production cost of "Miss" exceeded 200 billion Korean won.

They recouped their investment and made a considerable profit early on by selling the copyrights in Cannes.

With total box office revenue from both mainland China and South Korea, plus copyright revenue, the total box office for "Miss" reached 1.1375 billion.

The number is still increasing every day. The movie "Miss" has been taken off the screens in mainland China, but "The Korean Movie" is still showing.

Overseas box office revenue has little to do with the system's box office revenue... because overseas copyrights are basically a one-off deal, and you don't get a share of the box office revenue.

You can only choose one: overseas copyright revenue or overseas box office revenue sharing.

For non-English art films like "The Prostitute," it's more profitable to acquire overseas copyrights, while overseas box office revenue is generally not worthwhile.

It was thanks to its local audience in mainland China that it was able to break 300 million yuan at the box office when it was taken off the screens.

Without publicity and promotion, and without owing Li Mingyang a movie ticket, even 3000 million would be difficult to achieve...

In the New World Lottery, Sister Liu Hongyun had incredible luck, winning three out of three in one go!

Miss Palme d'Or is a film with global influence and good box office returns.

It was a triple hit in terms of box office, critical acclaim, and awards.

The system rewards are related to the movie content.

The quality of the reward is related to the popularity of the movie.

Li Mingyang was always curious about what the young lady would reveal.
The first three rounds were all props from the film crew, none of them were valuable.

In the fourth round, ten all-blue items were obtained.

Li Mingyang randomly tapped the door and produced ten pieces of jewelry. They looked quite nice and seemed quite valuable...

"Why am I so unlucky..."

"This is the Palme d'Or!"

Li Mingyang grabbed Jing Tian's hand, pressed his index finger against hers, and moved it towards the refresh button.

Refresh!

In the final round, there was one gold and nine blue.

After knocking on all nine blue ones, wow, they were all made of gold and turned out to be bed toys for couples.

Li Mingyang's face turned green with rage.

call!
The grand prize is yours!

Hey system, give me some power! Let me make a decent movie, you need to give me something worthwhile!
The Palme d'Or!

Brother Tongzi, Miss is the Palme d'Or winner!

When husband and wife are of one mind, their strength can break even metal!
Thick fingers and slender fingers pressed together on the golden cube.

next moment.

A white light burst forth from my fingertip, gradually intensifying. The light was no longer as simple and direct as before; a large white light obscured my vision.

Instead, a very exciting Little Master Chef special effect was added.

Then a moon appeared.

Will Li Mingyang recognize that what's above his head is the moon, not a light bulb?

This thing can actually change shape, just like the moon.

It displays eight lunar phases: new moon, crescent moon, first quarter moon, waxing gibbous moon, full moon, waning gibbous moon, last quarter moon, and waning crescent moon. What is this thing?
It's not quite the same as before.

I offered my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon shines only in the heavens.

Just won't come down.

Li Mingyang reached out to grab it.

The moon was held in my hand, and it was surprisingly cool.

The moment this thought arose, war erupted from his palm, engulfing the moon.

Two completely different sensations came from my palm: icy cold and fiery hot.

An eerie fusion; the flames of war could not dispel the moon's chill.

even……

Li Mingyang frowned deeply, released his grip, and the moon hung in the sky.

The moon just emitted an extremely cold chill, it was so cold it made my hands feel very cold...

As if stimulated, the flames of war surged from the palm of his hand and engulfed the moon.

The flames roared, and the moon, in its full form, fought against them.

It exudes an eerie white frost, drifting above the raging flames...

what is this?
The system is not responding; something unexpected or a conflict has occurred.

The tyrant's burning desire for war sought to devour the moon and merge with it.

The moon refused to merge, and the two sides began to fight.

A dozen minutes later, Li Mingyang got tired of watching and yawned.

It feels like alchemy.

An hour later, Li Mingyang got tired of watching.

Because the flames of war were emanating from his palm, and it was too hot, Li Mingyang turned the air conditioner up to 18 degrees Celsius.

Then, he wrapped Jing Tian, ​​who was covered in dirt and whose hair was all matted together, in a blanket, threw her on the floor, and lay down to sleep alone on the clean and tidy bed.

He fell fast asleep.

The next day, Li Mingyang was woken up by Jing Tian pulling his ear.

"What did you do to me last night? And why am I sleeping on the floor? Achoo! The air conditioning is so low, are you trying to freeze me to death?"

Li Mingyang rubbed his eyes, looked at Jing Tian who was fuming with anger, and pretended to be innocent, saying, "You fell asleep yesterday, so I hit you three times myself and gave you a full-body spray bath. Then I fell asleep. How was I supposed to know why you were sleeping on the floor?"

Jing Tian's bottom was poked, and like a startled little rabbit, she jumped off the person inside and went to the bathroom, full of resentment.

After taking a shower, Jing Tian ignored Li Mingyang and went straight out the door.

As for the smearing, she was used to it.

She was angry because Li Mingyang wanted to freeze her to death...

Jing Tian left the bedroom without looking back, unaware of Li Mingyang's unusual behavior.

Li Mingyang sat cross-legged, gazing at the full moon in the sky.

The fighting has ended, the full moon is still there, and the chill emanating from it is much stronger than last night.

The flames of war spontaneously protected me, engulfing my entire body, yet I couldn't feel any heat at all.

Normally he would be sweating profusely from the heat.

What the hell is this?

"You have obtained the Moon Soul."

Li Mingyang opened the skill panel, but there were no skills...

This thing is a unique entity that only he can see.

Li Mingyang tried to put the moon away.

With a thought, the moon disappeared and appeared in the inventory.

Soon, he felt the heat, and the flames of war, sensing no threat, dissipated on their own.

Li Mingyang summons the moon once again.

The crescent moon was like a hook, not cold at all, and even a little cute.

"I feel like I could punish you in the name of the moon..."

Li Mingyang touched his smooth, bald head and said.

……

The fifth battle of the century was very successful!
Although he was slightly inferior to Zhen Zhidan in the fourth match in every aspect, the difference wasn't that much.

In the fifth round, the amount of money involved in gambling exceeded 1.2 million US dollars.

At its peak, 4910 million viewers watched simultaneously.

The ratings soared all the way to the end, reaching their peak at the end.

The trend chart looks much better than the fourth game. The fourth game peaked at the end of the first round and then started to decline.

Because Li Mingyang is too abnormal, he untied the armbar!
The audience felt there was no suspense, so they stopped watching.

He and Zhao Wenzhuo fought back and forth, with him attacking fiercely while Zhao Wenzhuo dodged with incredible skill!
It's incredibly visually appealing.

Many viewers watched while simultaneously criticizing the alleged stunts and fake fights.

The Battle of the Century has lost its original meaning by now.

Many viewers have forgotten about the battle between Zhao and Zhen, and it has turned into Li Mingyang's personal show.

Japanese and Korean audiences came specifically for him, the Asian box office king and the Cannes Film Festival's darling.

At first, many people wanted to see him make a fool of himself, but later they were amazed by his formidable strength and watched one match after another.

I want to see when he loses.

Much of the traffic attracted has become paid subscribers to FBTV.

In just two months, the massive traffic generated by the Battle of the Century doubled the number of FBTV paid subscribers, surpassing 10 million and reaching an astonishing 11.2 million.

The combined paid members of the three major streaming media giants in mainland China, iQiyi, Youku, and Tencent Video, are less than 1000 million.

With tens of millions of paid subscribers, FBTV has become the undisputed leader in Asia's long-form video platform market.

Li Mingyang made a great contribution!
Everyone is looking forward to Li Mingyang's new film, "Your Name" animated film, breaking into the scriptwriting market.

However, he went against the grain, orchestrating a battle of the century, attracting new capital, entering the fray himself, and breaking through the stalemate with a single blow, opening up the slate market without bloodshed.

FBTV's membership is priced at approximately 89 yuan per month, excluding the 1 yuan per week trial for new users.

With 1120 million paying users, that translates to monthly revenue of nearly 10 billion.

The income from spinach is even more outrageous, calculated in US dollars.

The first three betting rounds were a warm-up, starting with Zhen Zhidan. The betting amounts for the fourth and fifth rounds both exceeded 100 million US dollars.

These two shows alone generated over 70 million US dollars in revenue!

Adding to the previous three games, the betting revenue exceeded 100 million US dollars!

Spinach is really profitable.

However, when settling accounts last night, Hughes and Spielberg were unhappy, wondering why they still had to pay taxes!
The tax rate will still be 35% for businesses!
Instead of the previous 20% for individuals!

Because of this incident, it's now questionable whether the game will even be played in Macau again.

This is nothing, and the profits are already being split unevenly.

A 74-meter-long luxury yacht worth US$2 million slowly sails on the coast of Macau.

The yacht features multiple decks, a state-of-the-art entertainment system, a fully equipped gym, a jacuzzi, a private lounge, and a garage for storing water toys.

It's like a palace on the sea!
A fleet of small yachts followed and guarded the palace on the sea.

Dozens of yachts were also watching from the surrounding area.

On the second deck.

Li Mingyang listened to Hughes complaining that the Macau gambling industry was making too little money. He was already unhappy with the 20% cut, but if it was 35%, he would go to Las Vegas to play.

In Hughes' words, "Fuck, we put together this game ourselves, why should we pay taxes!"

Do I not have to pay in Las Vegas?
The answer is no...

The US tax authorities are indeed impressive; they have their own military.

But so what? We can't collect taxes from the rich.

When Achuan participated in a church event and made a donation, he took out a wad of cash from his pocket, counted it over and over again, and finally donated a few $20 bills.

This is a real donation!
This isn't just empty talk.

Most people agree that you should go to Las Vegas to play.

Chen Wenbo disagreed and vetoed the motion.

It's possible that the veto power will become useless in a few days, as people particularly like to use their veto power.

A veto is so satisfying!

Who is who knows!
However, this thing is too domineering. Although it's great to use, it's not so great when others use it.

It's blocking too many people's way.

After a while, the topic naturally returned to the resolution of 'majority rule'.

Everyone looked at him.

This time, Li Mingyang couldn't stay silent anymore. He shrugged and said, "I don't like repeating myself. If you're worried, I can choose not to go."

“Without Director Li present, what’s the point of this joint meeting? We also quite like veto power, but a short, sharp pain is worse than a long, drawn-out one. The changes we’re making now are for a better future,” Chen Wenbo said.

“Mr. Chen is right,” Gong Yu said.

"Li, what about your female assistant? I think if you're not available in the future, you could have her take over," Hughes said with a smile.

"You mean Zhang Wei, right? She's not an assistant, she's the vice president, a very capable woman," Gong Yu said.

Li Mingyang chuckled and stretched, "Since you trust her, I won't attend the joint meetings anymore; let her act as my representative."

"I was just joking, don't take it seriously! We'll still really need you at the next joint meeting."

"Yep."

"Without Director Li's epic battle, there would have been no explosive growth for FBTV. It won't be long before we catch up with Netflix."

"Netflix's Reed has been turned away three times recently and can't get his money back, haha! It's hilarious!"

"With the other side gaining and losing, our prospects are more convincing."

"Li, what are your thoughts on the development of this Western version of FBTV? I feel like the money has been spent, but I don't really feel anything!" Hughes asked, taking a big puff of his cigar.

Li Mingyang tilted his head back and downed the cocktail in his glass in one gulp, saying, "This is nothing. You'll have even more headaches later. Ask this guy, Mr. Gong, he's the pillar of iQiyi. I learn a lot of my ideas from him."

"Director Li, you flatter me. I've always followed you." Gong Yu quickly waved his hand and said modestly.

Li Mingyang was telling the truth, but no one believed him.

"If there's nothing else, I'll be going now." Li Mingyang said, putting down his wine glass. Despite everyone's attempts to persuade him to stay, he jumped onto the slide on the second deck, slid into the sea, and then got on the small motorbike he had brought with him.

It drew a huge arc on the sea and sped towards the shore.

This attracted the attention of many people.

"I always feel that Director Li is not quite right..." Chen Wenbo said worriedly, watching Li Mingyang's departing figure.

“Geniuses are abnormal, that’s normal. Being too normal is a problem,” Hughes said.

"What do you think he's trying to do? He's created so much benefit for us, yet he hasn't made any demands. That's very unusual..."

Hughes gave Chen Wenbo a strange look. "Are you really that clueless, or are you just pretending? He's the major shareholder. What other benefits does he want?"
Of all the people here, who has more shares than him?
