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

Chapter 752 The New One-Punch Man! Unparalleled Skill!

A very concise opening.

But in just one minute, it captured the attention of hundreds of people in the multimedia conference room!

The screen went black, then shifted from blurry to sharp, revealing a bald head, a white cape, yellow overalls, and red gloves and shoes.

The scene moves from bottom to top, with the cloak fluttering in the wind, and the bald demon king makes his appearance, his eyes resolute, looking every bit righteous!
The next second, the bald demon king collapsed, his eyes became dull, he touched his bald head, looked around, and looked quite comical, unable to find his bicycle.

Then raise your arms and start running!

The purple piccolo is still ravaging the city, leaving behind smoke and ruins everywhere, with explosions echoing all around.

The bald hero can pinpoint the location by sound, and his eyes are very determined.

Purple Piccolo demonstrated his astonishing power; guns and cannons were useless to him. With a wave of his hand, he destroyed a building, and the streets were as fragile as paper.

It's even more piccolo-like than Piccolo! Even more brutal than Piccolo!

The Hero Association sent two heroes to suppress the monster, but they were instantly killed in one encounter, and their fate is unknown.

Finally, the bald demon king found the Purple Piccolo.

Amidst the ruins, the two introduced themselves.

One is a hero driven by interest, the other is a vaccine developer whose goal is to eliminate humanity that pollutes the Earth.

As the vaccine recipient excitedly introduced himself, his body underwent a mutation that looked incredibly impressive.

Its body grew to an enormous size, its claws and teeth became long and sharp, its violent muscles grew spikes, and its eyes emitted a terrifying blood-red light.

From a humanoid purple piccolo, it transformed into a man-eating, ferocious monster!

Bang!
Before the monster could finish its roar, it threw a punch, which emitted white smoke, and the entire city fell silent.

The monster that had just been so fierce and terrifying had become a pile of shattered purple mud on the ground.

"One punch and it's done, damn it!"

The camera rises into the air and then falls back down, revealing that the bald hero who just defeated the monster still has hair.

He is a very handsome man.

The handsome young man couldn't find a job and was desperate about life.

Then they encountered a crab monster on the road. The crab monster thought the male protagonist was just as handsome as him, so he let him go.

Go settle the score with the boy with the butt and chin.

The latter, as a prank, drew two sexy circles on the crab.

This infuriated the crab monster, who then decided to kill the boy with the bottom chin.

As luck would have it, the male protagonist encountered the boy with the buttocks and chin on the way, and at the same time, the crab monster also arrived.

In a moment of crisis, Saitama rescued the boy, and then... he got a brutal beating from the crab monster. How pitiful.

In a life-or-death moment, the protagonist unleashes his inner power, using his tie to rip open the crab monster's eyeballs. Instantly, crab roe and crab fat pour down, forever altering the protagonist's life trajectory.

The male protagonist is shown in a close-up, winning with great difficulty, panting heavily.

The scene continues to move forward, and the gaze remains firm.

The scene shifts, and the determined eyes transform into dull, lifeless eyes...

Three years later... he went bald, but he also became stronger!

Then I felt empty...

Because he had gained invincible power, he could not find an opponent worthy of fighting.

Saitama's confession drew the attention of countless people present, who all turned to look at Li Mingyang.

This is just like Li Mingyang himself...

Suddenly, the supermarket shook violently, the lights flickered, and then everything went dark.

The next moment, the supermarket behind Saitama disappeared, replaced by blue skies, white clouds, and distant buildings.

The intense sunlight streamed into the supermarket, making Saitama's bald head shine.

Saitama turned and walked out of the supermarket, staring blankly outside.

The scene shifts to a gigantic foot that blots out the sky, crushing several streets and turning countless buildings to dust under its foot.

The earth was shaking, and the city was trembling.

A very aggressive Titan, blocking out the sun, walks through the city.

The fear of the colossal creature was brought to life in that moment!
There is also a scientist in a white coat on the shoulder of the Attack Titan.

Through their conversations and flashbacks, a crazy scientist brother and a younger brother who dreams of becoming the world's strongest emerge!

With the highest intelligence and the strongest muscles, they intend to dominate the world.

The bustling city became the place where they tested their power.

The Attack Titans were so terrifying. With a single swing of their arms, their immense power created a terrifying pressure that utterly destroyed countless buildings, leaving behind a huge fan-shaped ruin on the ground and killing tens of thousands of people.

The older brother was screaming and yelling wildly, "Destroy this city, destroy everything!"
In a very short time, the Attack Titans turned City A into ruins and advanced towards City B!
City B is in turmoil, and the Hero Association is organizing evacuations and rescue efforts.

The Attack Titans were incredibly fast. Seeing the vibrant and bustling city, the older and younger brothers were extremely excited and relentlessly destroyed everything in their path.

Just when they thought they were invincible, the bald man appeared on the giant's shoulder.

"Take down the guy on your shoulder!"

The older brother ordered the younger brother to kill the bald man.

Snap!
The impulsive younger brother, in a moment of recklessness, hit the wrong person and slapped his older brother to death.

Looking at my brother, whose body resembled a dead fly in my hand.

Enraged, Saitama's younger brother grabbed him and threw him onto the building.

The building collapsed instantly, and Saitama fell to the ground in a starfish shape.

Immediately afterwards, the Attack Titan unleashed Pegasus Meteor, Rising Dragon Fist of Mount Lu, and Shadowless Kick on Saitama...

The skyscrapers looked like they were made of paper; they could be shattered with a single punch, and a single kick would make the surrounding area look like it had been hit by a nuclear explosion.

The dust settles!

The city beneath the feet of the advancing younger brother had completely disappeared; it had been dented, leaving a huge, dark crater in the ground.

Even the attacking younger brother can be buried!

The camera zooms in on the younger brother's attack, showing him in a wide shot; half the city has been reduced to ruins by the brother seeking revenge for his brother.
A close-up shot shows the younger brother, now vindicated, looking at his brother, who is like a lump of mud in his hands.

"I feel so empty!" said the younger brother, who was about to attack.

"Feeling empty, aren't you!"

A voice rang out, and a cloud of smoke rose from the bottom of the pit.

Saitama flew straight toward his younger brother.

Bang!
He punched his younger brother in the left cheek.

"Invincible power is really boring!"

The younger brother, who had been attacking suddenly, scrunched up his face and stretched his neck out to the horizon.

It fell flat on its back.

One punch and it's over, world peace.

"what!"

The younger brother's rampage crushed the other half of City B.

City B is annihilated!
I was at home that night.

The room was small and the decor was very ordinary.

Saitama revealed his inner thoughts.

Because of his overwhelming power, he lost many of the emotions of a normal person.

But he still longed to be a hero and uphold justice in the world.

Even if it's impossible to have a soul-stirring encounter with the opponent.

He became a hero simply out of interest; as long as it satisfied his interest, that was enough.

Thinking this, Saitama turned off the light, pulled up the covers, and drifted off to sleep.

As the light and shadows shifted, the dim room brightened, and the next day arrived.

As soon as Saitama opened his eyes, the walls of the room suddenly exploded, and a strange man rushed into his room.

This strange man was entirely black, with an oddly red head, and was extremely powerful!

Saitama was beaten until he bled.

The strange man revealed his identity: the subterranean people are invading the surface, slaughtering the surface inhabitants, and trying to reclaim their Earth.

Countless underground people emerged from the ground.

Saitama wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and the two engaged in an epic battle.

Sharp camera transitions, realistic dynamic effects, locust-like underground people, and high-octane action scenes.

One-on-one, group fight, explosion, giant object, shockwave...

A 360-degree rotating view, delivering an exhilarating visual experience!
The perfect blend of special effects and action left the audience in awe.

It hits from the ground to the ground, and then from the ground back to the ground.

Amidst mountains of corpses and seas of blood, Saitama found the thrill of battle.

The final boss, shrouded in mist and fully armed, made a dazzling entrance with a six-armed lightsaber, appearing with unparalleled arrogance.

Saitama leaped into the air and unleashed a powerful punch!
Jingle Bell……

Bang!
The alarm clock rang, and a powerful punch smashed it into pieces.

Saitama was bewildered.

The audience was also completely bewildered.

It turns out it was all a dream...

One Punch Man!
The invincible man got up, brushed his teeth, and was still savoring his dream.

"We'll take over the land, and everyone on the ground can die!"

Upon hearing this, Saitama's eyes widened, and he suddenly perked up. Downstairs, a group of incredibly cute subterranean beings emerged from a hole, with the six-armed lightsaber-wielding Subterranean King cheering on his underlings.

"I am the King of the Underworld, all you people on the surface, listen up..."

Bang!
Saitama went downstairs and stomped the Underground King to death.

They turned around excitedly, ready to fight, only to find that all the underground people had run away.

Saitama touched his bald head, feeling quite disappointed.

However, he quickly cheered up again.

He became a hero because he was interested in it!
"What should we eat for breakfast?" Saitama asked.

The camera zooms out, showing a street, several streets, and an entire city!
High in the sky, at the edge of the white clouds.

Four large, blood-stained characters appeared: One-Punch Man!
After One-Punch Man ended, many of the audience members present were big shots.

Some of them know a lot about movies, while others only know the basics.

Some of these are professional producers who are very perceptive of the market and the audience.

Whether professional or amateur, everyone gives One-Punch Man the same praise.

"Director Li, your acting is superb, you switch between roles so seamlessly!"

"The action sequences were fantastic, and the special effects were exceptionally well done!"

"Is this a filter from Your Name and Weathering With You? This filter really enhances the experience!"

"Director Li's moves are always a game-changer!"

"Isn't this a bit short? It seems to be less than half an hour," Jack Ma said.

"No, no, we're not a theater chain, we sell memberships. As long as the audience is willing to buy memberships, we're a success."

"That's right, haha!"

"There's not a dull moment at all; the pace is fast and exciting, there are plenty of special effects, and the audiovisual experience is top-notch."

"The quality of the film is even better than that of high-standard, big-budget theatrical releases."

How much did this film cost?

"1.5 million? Is it that expensive?"

"Director Li, did you factor in your own salary for this price?"

A group of bigwigs surrounded Li Mingyang, engaging in a heated discussion, leaving Li Mingyang momentarily speechless.

The crowd quieted down only after Hughes told them to be quiet and listen to him.

Regardless of whether they were experts or not, the level of completion of One-Punch Man far exceeded everyone's expectations.

Shortness is not a problem, as long as it is exciting enough to attract viewers to pay.

New users get a one-week trial for just one yuan.

Watching a 30-minute blockbuster movie for just one yuan—what a bargain!
"One-Punch Man was originally filmed using the special effects techniques of doujinshi, so the resolution was not high, the props were fake, and the special effects were not well done, so the cost was not high. The first part was close to 40 million, and the second part was about 30 million."

"The filming standards for the new One-Punch Man are theatrical movie level, with A-level CG special effects and a cost of 150 million. My salary was not included. If it were, I would have received at least 50 to 60 million, which would be more than 200 million."

That makes perfect sense.

Given Li Mingyang's achievements and status, he's a true god descended to earth.

I searched all over Asia and found no film director as renowned as Li Mingyang who makes web series.

What's more, he's a 24-year-old Palme d'Or winner, the Asian box office king, and the king of traffic!

A salary of 50 to 60 million is very reasonable.

"Director Li, I'm extremely satisfied with this One-Punch Man film. There's just one thing you need to do: you need to hurry up and film it, aiming for one film per month!"

"Yes!"

"Director Li, don't worry about the money, what we need now is traffic."

"Yep!"

"Although our goal is to generate 2 billion yuan in revenue within two years, if we can make money, then the story of going public can be told even more impressively!"

“I have a lot of confidence in Director Li. I’ve seen the original One-Punch Man two-part series. It’s an ensemble piece. If we don’t have enough money, we can add more. I hope to include more stars, from China, Japan, and Korea. Don’t you all agree?”

"The idea is brilliant! For just one dollar, you can watch an epic masterpiece starring superstars from China, Japan, and South Korea. This is a great gimmick!"

Everyone joined in the commotion, even the usually composed Spielberg joined in.

They were all captivated by the promising financial prospects.

Li Mingyang raised his hands and gestured for everyone to be quiet.

Once everyone quieted down.

Li Mingyang smiled wryly, "I will try my best to meet everyone's needs, but my ability is limited and I cannot meet everyone's needs. Chinese, Japanese and Korean stars are not cabbages. Some stars are very difficult to invite. It's not a matter of money. Mr. Spielberg should be very clear about this."

“Li, don’t be modest. I have Hollywood film projects that I can exchange.”

A group of bigwigs applauded. Hollywood's resources are a huge advantage for Asian stars!

"Mr. Spielberg is very generous; this is the mindset for growing big and strong." Li Mingyang held up one finger and said firmly, "I'm putting this out here today: I will produce the new One-Punch Man responsibly, according to the specifications of the finished film you all see today, one film per month!"

clap clap clap!
The audience erupted in applause, and everyone felt that the game was in the bag.

People have reservations about Li Mingyang's character.

However, in terms of content creation, Li Mingyang's efficiency and quality are among the best in the world!
One new One-Punch Man movie every month, of theatrical quality.

FBTV's viewership is stable!
The number of monthly paying members has also stabilized!
And the IPO story is now a sure thing!
The US market favors a messianic narrative, while the US stock market is particularly reliant on a heroic narrative!

One-Punch Man Li Mingyang, isn't this the best hero narrative?
……

9 month 20 day.

FBTV's homepage has changed its banner to "The Sixth Battle of the Century: Li Mingyang vs. Bai Pengxiang," scheduled for October 20th.

This is the first time that the interval between two major battles has exceeded one month.

In addition to announcing the timeline for the Sixth Century War.

A pop-up window on the FBTV homepage appeared asking for reservations for One-Punch Man.

Li Mingyang's bald Superman look, with his righteous face, is just ridiculous no matter how you look at it.

But the traffic generation effect is absolutely amazing; in less than an hour, the number of reservations exceeded one million!

These are all paid memberships; free users cannot make reservations.

FBTV has internal factions and is not a unified entity externally.

FBTV is headquartered in South Korea, with branches in Europe and America, Japan, and Thailand.

The Thailand branch is mainly managed by Channel 7.

This is a privately owned television station with ties to the Thai military.

At first, they made outrageous demands, asking for fees to combat piracy, but nobody paid them any attention.

Southeast Asia is a poor and dilapidated place, piracy is rampant, and everyone's attention is focused on China, Japan and South Korea. They can't even be bothered with India.

The Battle of the Century has gradually become a top-tier performance combat event in Asia, and it enjoys widespread popularity in Europe and America.

Fighting is a niche sport, but once this niche event successfully attracts a large audience, the level of attention it receives can be explosive!
WWE is a performance-based fighting event with incredibly high viewership.

You could say the fighting is very fake, but it's incredibly entertaining; WWE is like a "variety show full of gimmicks."

There are similar doujinshi (Japanese comics) featuring women wrestling, which fully satisfy men's enjoyment of watching women fight and tear clothes.

Once war breaks out, their fighting power will be so off the charts that their clothes will be tattered.
After WWE expanded beyond the United States and into the international arena, it also began to introduce women's wrestling.

The Battle of the Century is different from WWE, but it also has some similarities.

They all rely on hype to create a highly sensational chemical reaction.

Li Mingyang's entry into the game, his use of his popularity for hype, and his stunning performance of real kung fu skills have undoubtedly been very successful.

Channel 7 also wants to capitalize on this traffic and has been working hard to secure the Thai operating rights for FBTV, which are free.

You earn as much as you work.

However, online piracy is so rampant that they can only make a small profit from online piracy; the real money they make is negligible, practically nonexistent.

In short, FBTV's operations in Thailand are very poor.

The head of Channel 7 personally negotiated a cooperation, offering to contribute some money and invite the CEOs of FBTV to jointly combat piracy, but no one paid any attention to him.

Hughes was the worst; he even tricked the other party into investing in the poorly managed European and American FBTV.

FBTV's European and American branches actually have a considerable number of paid members, numbering in the millions, and the price is $9.99.

It's two dollars cheaper than Netflix's $11.99 per month.

However, the bandwidth and server costs are too high.

Video streaming requires extensive CDN (Content Delivery Network) support!

High-definition/4K/live streaming requires extremely high bandwidth, and expenses increase linearly with the growth of users.

Hughes has made things too complicated in Europe and America, resulting in very high bandwidth costs.

FBTV's two biggest money-making sources are Koreans and the newly launched Japanese.

The number of paying users at Dongda University is very low... It's embarrassing to look at. The number of monthly paying users fluctuates around 500,000, and most of them only pay one yuan...

But the number of students from Tokyo University was extremely high during the Battle of the Century!
Currently, one of the most active things FBTV is doing is cracking down on piracy at Tokyo University.

The first to be affected was Kuaibo.

However, BAT (Baidu, Alibaba, Tencent) asked everyone to wait, as Kuaibo's piracy advantages were unparalleled, making it the number one streaming media software at Dongda University!
BAT (Baidu, Alibaba, Tencent) are vying for Kuaibo.

Once the dust settles, immediately launch a crackdown on piracy at Dongda Internet!
One-Punch Man will be released on September 25th at 12:00 PM.

Everyone is hoping that Dongda's paid users will surge.

The University of Tokyo is used to free education, so charging tuition is a historic challenge.

They live entirely off advertising revenue, and they pay for broadband...

BAT (Baidu, Alibaba, Tencent) are very keen on the launch of One-Punch Man.

Starting anything is difficult, and charging fees is even more so.

They all hope that users will pay, even if it's just 1 yuan or 0.1 yuan!
All you need to do is pay!
Attract potential paying users with low prices, expand the legitimate user base, and then monopolize the market!
This is similar to movie ticket subsidies.
