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

Chapter 784 Drawing a Circle on One's Own Ground, the Cinema Overlord

The film industry, both domestically and internationally, is plagued by infighting and internal strife!
Korean entertainment is rather peculiar... The film industry is really easy to get into, and newcomers are very welcome.

Korean entertainment has opened a door for ordinary people to enter the film industry...

Although this door is a bit dark, once you get through it, you'll reach Song Huiqiao!

The censorship in the Chinese film industry is truly impressive...

Even BAT (Baidu, Alibaba, Tencent) as major investors can't control the film industry... Many investors with dreams, after trying it out, were disgusted and never touched it again.

Of course, this is a minority.

More often than not, they are simply going along with the crowd.

The T0 version, from a certain perspective, did indeed play a role in purifying the entertainment industry... but its deeper significance lies in the rise of the female entertainment circle.

The majority of fans are women...

The content creation collective has shifted towards young women, and they even brazenly teach unmarried women how to navigate the female-dominated online community, and teach married women to be free, independent, and to love cats.

"Alright, let's meet her. Who is it, Liu Yan?"

"That's all in the past, let's not talk about it."

"hehe."

After a while, the person Yu Dong recommended to him arrived.

It's beautiful and has a lot of character.

The surviving little fairy, Jiang Shuying.

"Director Li, hello." Jiang Shuying was dressed in a black business suit, with big waves and bright red lips.

Her smile is incredibly captivating.

Unlike the allure of others, Jiang Shuying's charm is a mother's capable and efficient style.

"Hello." Li Mingyang stood up warmly, shook hands with him, and smiled.

Jiang Shuying released her hand, glanced down at Yu Dong, seemingly urging him to speak, or perhaps regarding him as her pillar of support.

In short, this one glance made Yu Dong quite pleased with himself, and he immediately asked Li Mingyang for movie resources.

Li Mingyang chuckled and said he would consider it, casually brushing it off.

Jiang Shuying wasn't about to be dismissed so easily, so she immediately started to act coquettishly, using her soft, sweet Wu dialect to perfectly showcase the charming and coquettish nature of a young woman from Shanghai.

It gave Li Mingyang goosebumps.

To be honest, in the drama "Prosperity", Jiang Shuying, who plays Miss Wang, could make Tang Yan fall so hard that she couldn't even see the taillights.

Unfortunately, Hugo disagreed!
"Oh dear, it's no use pestering me. Director Li needs to make the movie! Alright, alright, with my relationship with Director Li, he'll definitely take care of you." As Yu Dong spoke, he took out an exquisite gift box from his pocket. Inside was a diamond ring, quite large, about three carats.

With the diamond ring, Jiang Shuying immediately stopped making a fuss and became exceptionally obedient.

"That's settled then, you guys go ahead. I'll call you when I start making movies," Li Mingyang said at the opportune moment.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shuying nodded obediently, "Yes, Director Li."

Li Mingyang smiled and nodded, watching the two leave.

The private room was finally quiet, and Li Mingyang was just about to take a nap when Yu Dong came running back before he could fall asleep.

"Director Li, it was just a meeting! Don't take what I said seriously. Please don't take it too seriously and actually give her resources. Look at my sincere eyes, I'm speaking from the heart."

"..."

"For female celebrities, being moderately famous is enough. If you become really famous, they won't have time to bother with you, haha!"

"..."

"Director Li, this is your job when it comes to making movies," Yu Dong said with a sly grin, giving a thumbs up. "But when it comes to women, your skills are terrible... Do you know what your biggest failure is?"

"My biggest failure is that I'm too powerful. My resources could easily propel a female celebrity to stardom! But I really don't want them to rise to fame..."

"It has nothing to do with resources... Your biggest mistake was treating actresses like normal women and developing real feelings for them, haha!"

Yu Dong smiled, patted Li Mingyang on the shoulder, and jogged out the door.

Li Mingyang gave a wry smile, turned to look out the window, and saw an airplane land and taxi far, far away...

……

After Wang Changtian returned from Dali, he had a special talk with Li Mingyang.

Jing Tian was mentioned in the article.

"Since you don't care about the Jing family, either get married or break up. Don't drag it out, or this choice will lead to the worst outcome."

Indeed, as Wang Changtian said.

Jing Tian has quite a few movies this year. In addition to her special role in the summer season, she also has New Police Story 2013 and From Vegas to Macau at the end of the year.

They're all big productions, big stars, and big directors!

Every single film she makes is a huge opportunity that other actresses could only dream of!

Compared to New Police Story 2013, Li Mingyang feels that From Vegas to Macau is truly awesome!
Although there's no explicit rule against making gambling films, it's a fact that nobody dares to make them—they can't pass censorship; making them would be suicide!

The Macau casino has so many big names involved, with an investment of up to 100 million!

Filming only began after everything was confirmed to be censored!

But the prerequisite for passing the review is Jing Tian!
From Vegas to Macau wasn't originally called by this name.

Casino Legends, God of Gamblers 4: Who Dares to Challenge, God of Gamblers 4: Casino Legends...

It's really just a publicity stunt using the God of Gamblers' name!

"God of Gamblers 4" and "Casino" are both words that cannot be used.

From Vegas to Macau, the script came first, then Bernard was approached. Bernard wasn't sure if it would pass censorship, so he brought Jing Tian in as the female lead!

With the name of the God of Gamblers, this movie is bound to be a box office hit no matter how it's made!
It's the same principle as Jackie Chan using his own brand, Police Story, to promote Jing Tian.

Both are major productions; "From Vegas to Macau" is scheduled for the Lunar New Year period, which is perfectly understandable.

In New Police Story 2013, Li Mingyang wanted to curse.

The movie was originally scheduled to be released on December 24. Jackie Chan had just invited him to dinner, saying they wanted to make money together and contribute to his Lunar New Year film season.

Shortly after, Wanda announced that the film would undergo technical adjustments, damn it, it was delayed!
Then a few days ago they changed the release date again, and now it's scheduled for New Year's Day...

It's still scheduled for the Lunar New Year holiday!

But January had little to do with him... those people were all praising Jack Ma, and when they were promoting him, they wanted to include Alibaba in every single sentence.

What Li Mingyang initially heard was that his performance before the 20th would be counted, but after the 20th it would not.

However, the leader changed his mind today. He said that December's performance would be counted towards his performance, while January's performance would be counted towards Lao Ma's performance.

This was essentially a way to boost his performance, as he fled during the gambling raids in late November.

For seven consecutive days, there was no movie screening at Dongda University; all the films showing were the endings of Hollywood movies…

The authorities gave him a full December and gave One-Punch Man the green light, lending him a helping hand!
Why?

Li Mingyang could only think of one possibility, and it was the one he least wanted to see!
The financial film program has been running for almost two years, and its advantages and disadvantages are quite obvious.

Since the authorities have agreed to the ultra-low price of 5.9 yuan for tickets, it means they believe that the benefits of financial films outweigh the drawbacks, and it's not time to correct the wrongs yet.

Since he won't set things right, there's only one thing he can do: interfere with internet capital!
To divide and reshape the film industry!
The film industry isn't ruled by capital. If capital were to rule, things would be unacceptable.
Therefore, we must draw a line in the sand and confine ourselves within it!

The time when I began to confine myself to a self-imposed prison in my previous life was during Ip Man 3.

In other words, Lao Huang was determined to go east...

Even though he was determined to go east, he was always on edge, having been investigated for almost ten years.

To shoot a man, shoot a horse first; to capture a thief, capture the king first!
This is for him and Ali Ma to do!

What makes him think he can go against Ali Ma?

"You guys really think the Palme d'Or is some kind of magic staff?! What the hell does it have to do with me?!"

On Bouquet Street, Li Mingyang was eating peanuts and drinking beer at a food stall when he muttered a complaint under his breath.

"Boss, this is the braised pork liver with soy sauce that you ordered, cooked to medium-rare." Xiong Yan placed a steaming plate of braised pork liver with soy sauce, stir-fried with various kinds of chili peppers, in front of Li Mingyang.

After resigning from her company, Xiong Yan opened a supermarket.

Due to mismanagement, the restaurant was ransacked by rats among its employees. She and her husband, being honest people, accepted their bad luck and closed the business.

Then, Li Ming arranged for the couple to open a food stall on Huashu Street.

Actually, there are better jobs, such as making boxed lunches, renting props, renting vehicles, and moving things. These are all jobs that can be very lucrative.

Whoever does it will get rich.

However, Xiong Yan and her husband are both down-to-earth, so they started a food stall business.

Li Mingyang only dared to come after others said it was delicious.

Because one time when he came late at night, he saw Xiong Yan and her husband watching videos to learn how to cook.

Then he said he was just passing by and didn't dare to eat there...

Although he doesn't mind that street food is oily, spicy, unhygienic, and unhealthy, he does care whether it tastes good!
Two complete beginners! That's terrifying!

Li Mingyang picked up the signature dish of the Bear in the Big Blue House: stir-fried pork liver in soy sauce.

Very tender, very spicy, very

The inside of the pig liver is slightly pink.

It's a bit crunchy when you chew it, and the bottom is a little salty.

good to eat.

As for how delicious it was, that's another story.

However, the price is only ten yuan for such a big plate, which is a real delicacy!
Unbeatable value for money!
"What are you eating? You seem to be enjoying it so much."

Accompanied by a familiar figure, a beautiful woman sat down opposite Li Mingyang.

A creamy white down jacket, a creamy white face, and a slight, gentle smile.

It was Jing Tian.

"Your sudden appearance surprised me..." Li Mingyang said with a smile. Jing Tian sat on a small stool, rolled her eyes, put her arms on her knees, and pouted, "I'm just imitating Liu Shishi, so as not to cause you any trouble."

"New Police Story has been cancelled..."

"When the film will be released is not something I can decide."

"But you can make a scene!"

"Forehead……"

Li Mingyang shut Jing Tian up with just one sentence.

"Sister Xiong, here's the money for the meal, keep the change."

Li Mingyang took out a wad of cash from his coat pocket, pulled out a fifty-yuan note, put it on the table, and got up to leave.

Jing Tian muttered that he was stingy, and wondered whether she should pursue him.

She really couldn't say when the movie would be released.

Making a scene won't help...

This was decided by Uncle Wang himself.

She only came back to see Li Mingyang's reaction after learning that Police Story had been rescheduled for the Lunar New Year period.

The promised 10 billion yuan box office for the Lunar New Year season has not even reached 1 billion so far... and then Li Mingyang has spent over 1 billion yuan on film and television stocks.

Everything that could be mortgaged has been mortgaged...

Li Mingyang's only remaining unmortgaged assets are those in Hengdian, mainly because these assets cannot be mortgaged.

Hengdian granted land to the Bouquet Entertainment District, rerouted roads, and constructed supporting facilities. Dozens of clauses restricted Li Mingyang from mortgaging his assets and fleeing.

"Eh……"

Jing Tian sighed deeply, and seeing that no one responded or cared, she sighed again.

"Sister Xiong, didn't you run a supermarket? Why are you running a food stall now?" Jing Tian got up and instead of chasing after Li Mingyang, she started chatting with Xiong Yan, who was shelling edamame.

"The supermarket business can't continue..." Xiong Yan said helplessly.

"How could that be? Running a supermarket is a very stable business!"

Jing Tian deliberately brought up a sore spot, leaving Xiong Yan speechless.

"Why did you resign? If you wanted a change of scenery, why did you come back?"

Like a curious child, Jing Tian pressed for more information.

She was too blunt. Not only Xiong Yan, but even her husband couldn't stand it. The situation became quite awkward when the couple came back.

They emptied their savings to open the supermarket, and they also have mortgage and car loan payments. If they don't come back, where will they repay the loans?

Jing Tian talked on and on, sometimes concerned about Xiong Yan, sometimes complaining about Li Mingyang, sometimes talking about Ming Yang, and sometimes talking about the bouquet.

What he said lacked logic; it was purely rant.

As long as she doesn't care about him, Xiong Yan is quite patient and will give some response, such as "uh-huh" a few times. As Li Mingyang's former driver, Xiong Yan knows quite a lot.

This is why Jing Tian was able to talk so much with Xiong Yan.

"Sister Xiong, what do you think Li Mingyang is thinking right now? Is he blaming me? Do you think he really likes me?"

Just as Xiong Yan was calming down, Jing Tian suddenly jumped out and asked three deadly questions, leaving Xiong Yan completely bewildered.

Xiong Yan glanced up at Jing Tian, ​​her expression calm but her eyes dim.

Xiong Yan didn't know much about Li Mingyang or Jing Tian.

However, she didn't like Jing Tian; she preferred the little squirrel.

Not only her, but Mingyang's entire team disliked Jing Tian, ​​which is truly astonishing.

People used to think that Director Li was trying to curry favor with Jing Tian, ​​because Miss Jing's family background was truly mysterious...

That's why I'm making things difficult for myself.

Later, as Director Li's achievements became increasingly outrageous, gradually...

Everyone felt that Director Li was someone who didn't want to start something and then abandon it.

Now... Xiong Yan feels that Director Li is her true love.

Only true love can encompass everything.

Whether it's good or bad.

Even though he's very angry, he'll still come back...

"Boss." Xiong Yan's gaze passed over Jing Tian and looked at Li Mingyang, who was standing at the door.

"Hmm, you really have the leisure to buy these edamame. Aren't they already shelled?" Li Mingyang said as he walked in, grabbing a handful of edamame.

"This is fresh," Xiong Yan said.

"It's really fresh."

Li Mingyang let go of her hand, and the green edamame beans fell to the ground. He looked at Jing Tian and asked, "Have you eaten yet?"

"without……"

"Let's go eat at the company cafeteria."

"This will work too."

"If you can't stand this environment, don't force yourself."

Jing Tian retorted, "It's not like I've never eaten at a street food stall before. If you can do it, so can I."

“They don’t have any sterilized, high-temperature tableware here, and your hands haven’t even touched the table… You’ll get used to it eventually, there’s no need to force yourself now.” After saying that, Li Mingyang walked towards the door.

Jing Tian pouted, but after being persuaded by her assistant, she still followed along.

After leaving the food stall, Jing Tian followed Li Mingyang at a distance, not wanting to walk together.

After walking for a while, when they were almost at Bouquet Entertainment, Li Mingyang suddenly stopped and waved to a group of young men and women.

Judging from his appearance, he is clearly a recently enrolled high school student.

After the group of people left, Jing Tian came up to Li Mingyang and asked curiously, "I rarely see you take the initiative to talk to people in the company. They are all afraid to come close to you."

"This is what I requested."

"I think you quite enjoy being alone."

"I don't want to... Maintaining an air of mystery is good for the company's stability."

"..."

……

As a dominant player in the cinema industry, Wanda has numerous collaborations with Alibaba, Tencent, and Baidu.

Especially Alibaba!
Li Mingyang arranged for tickets to be distributed in advance, allowing the higher authorities to start filming the financial movie ahead of schedule.

Who is the biggest beneficiary?
Wanda, the cinema chain giant!

Anyone who wants to make a living in the financial film industry has to be mindful of Wanda's attitude.

The film industry is small and lacks profitable means. Wanda leverages its film industry advantage to collaborate extensively with BAT (Baidu, Alibaba, Tencent).

This not only solidified their position but also brought benefits to other industries.

For example, e-commerce, cloud computing, cultural tourism, content, ticketing...

Wanda and Alibaba have a very close partnership. The collaboration between Wang Jianlin and Ma Huateng is much stronger and more solid than that between Evergrande and Alibaba.

Hengtai is unreliable, Wanda is truly amazing!
On December 12, 2013, the 14th China Economic Person of the Year Awards Ceremony was held.

When Lao Ma and Lao Wang presented awards to Lei Jun and Dong Mingzhu, it was supposed to be a friendly exchange, but instead, they delivered one of the most classic moments of banter in the business world!
Lei Jun was truly impressive; his mother, Lao Wang, and Lao Dong, three big shots, were trying to put Lei Jun down, leaving them speechless.

There was also a billion-dollar betting scheme that shocked the entire nation!

At the awards ceremony, Lei Jun proposed that if Xiaomi's revenue surpasses Gree's within five years, Dong Mingzhu would lose him one yuan.

Dong Mingzhu responded that it was impossible and raised the bet to 10 billion.

To be honest... this awards ceremony is broadcast by CCTV.

It was broadcast without any editing.

This is standard practice; TV stations have created countless memorable moments over the years in their pursuit of generating buzz.

For example, the show that aired this year, "Win in China: Blue Skies and Clear Waters," featured a competition between twelve star entrepreneurs, which was really quirky!

Lei Jun and Dong Ge also went to the competition midway through.

Dong Ge immediately said that Lei Jun is good at marketing, and we can't compete with Lei Jun in marketing.

This variety show was produced by Youmi.com in collaboration with Jiangsu Satellite TV.

Youmi.com was invested in by Jack Ma, so naturally he came too.

The scene was quite unsightly!

Not every founder can withstand the media attention; some have stopped caring about their own worth...

Entrepreneurs who can withstand media exposure are at least easygoing and consider themselves human.

The collaboration between Lao Ma and Lao Wang is so close that they can even roast people together on TV!
In fact, Alibaba and Wanda later cooperated across all sectors, which became the capital that allowed Alibaba to later dominate Tencent.

Then... they both fell.

The thought that Jing Tian didn't have many good days left made Li Mingyang unable to hide the smile on his face.

Jing Tian, ​​who was eating, felt uneasy and rolled her eyes at Li Mingyang more than once.

Wanda collapsed.

Jing Tian's good days are over, and his good days are about to begin!
Therefore, he could tolerate Jing Tian's various princess-like temper tantrums.

The countdown to the day when all the hardships will be over has officially begun!

Although he issued invoices in advance to help Wanda reach its peak.

This gave Jing Tian, ​​who was prone to feeling cold, a warmth she had never experienced in her previous life.

But only when the reins of power are tightened!
No one can withstand it!
