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

Chapter 800 A Sudden Change of Fortune! Abdication and Handover to a More Talented Person!
To the surprise of everyone present, including Li Mingyang.

Mimi was clearly angry, but in the blink of an eye, she actually accepted the arrangement and continued filming despite her dislocated arm.

The simple sentence, "We can't delay the production schedule. Everyone is exhausted. Keep going!" deeply moved the crew members.

Many people who knew the inside story, such as the Volcano Five Little Warriors, couldn't help but sigh that Mimi was the kind of boss lady they wanted, a hundred times better than Jing Tian!

Li Mingyang also genuinely felt that Mimi was really good. It wasn't because of the trouble they caused during the filming of "Lost in Thailand" that they stopped filming, but instead continued filming "Mimi" after he arrived.

It's ripe!
However, Li Mingyang's good mood vanished as soon as the library scenes were filmed.

"Hello, Director Li!"

"Hello, Director Li!"

"Director Li, hello!"

Dilraba bowed deeply, and when she looked up, she flicked her ponytail and revealed a shy smile.

It's been so long since we last met; it should have been a very happy occasion.

However, along with Dilraba came more than a dozen other actors from Jaywalk Studio, several agents, and Zeng Jia.

They rushed over at 5 a.m. to visit the set? Is that even possible?
Li Mingyang had a bad feeling at that time.

As soon as the doctor straightened Mimi's arm and the pain subsided, she rushed over to Li Mingyang and gave him a grand introduction to the members of Jiaxing Media, especially when introducing Dilraba, she was particularly enthusiastic.

"Director Li, what do you think of them?"

"How about what?"

"Isn't she so youthful? She's perfect for playing a supporting role for us!" Mimi said, her eyes shining.

Goodness, they're trying to sell him the Jiaxing gift package.

The actors from Jaywalk Studio are very lucky. Mimi is really using her influence to support them, and she has successfully promoted many new generation actors.

Among the men are Gao Weiguang, Zhang Binbin, and Zhang Yunlong.

Among the women are Dilraba Dilmurat, a top-tier actress born in the 90s, as well as Zhu Xudan, Li Xirui, Huang Mengyin, Wang Yijin, Dai Si...

When Mimi is filming, she really likes to stuff people from her own company into her projects; if she doesn't get them, she won't film...

Of course, this only applies to TV series.

She can't fit into those big-budget movies.

Many of the film projects she wanted to make were ones she couldn't get into herself.

Movies need powerful backers!

The connections they have are incredibly powerful... beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Since the influx of capital, the Chinese film industry has been shrinking at a visible rate, with the circle becoming smaller and narrower.

The directors who got caught in the rain ruined their path into the film industry.

It's incredibly difficult for new generation directors to make a name for themselves.

While capital certainly plays a role, the real culprits are these directors who have profited from the internet boom.

Looking at those youthful, vibrant faces and their eager, expectant eyes...

Especially the adoring and expectant look in Reba's eyes, which was so intense in her past life, was really infuriating.

A group of actors who act in historical and modern dramas are making a movie?
It was the famous Jaywalk gift package... Li Mingyang was very disgusted.

"It's already past six o'clock, aren't you guys hungry? Come on, let's all go next door for breakfast." Li Mingyang grinned and took the lead.

Li Mingyang walked very fast, but when everyone arrived at the Flower Bouquet Restaurant, they searched and searched the entire restaurant but could not find Li Mingyang.

Li Mingyang disappeared without a trace.

Mimi drank her milk and chewed her bread with great poise.

The others at Jiaxing were not so calm, especially Zeng Jia.

In order to film the love letter, Jaywalk Studio breached its contract and paid a lot of money to bring all the company's actors to the bouquet.

“Mimi, I think Director Li doesn’t seem willing to let them participate in the film…” Zeng Jia said.

"What's the rush? I'm not in a rush at all."

Zeng Jia touched her nose, having no confidence in Mimi, and started complaining about being poor and aggrieved. The money she had to pay for breach of contract meant she had worked for nothing for three months.

Mimi got annoyed and said coldly, "Aren't you annoying? Are you going to stop me from eating?"

Zeng Jia shut up and dared not say anything more, so she gave Yang Mi's agent, Zhao Ruoyao, a look, asking her to put some pressure on Mi Mi.

Zhao Ruoyao cursed Zeng Jia inwardly, but she still forced herself to speak kindly and gently to Mimi, promising her how much the company's actors would benefit once they joined the cast of Love Letter.

Zeng Jia complained, while Zhao Ruoyao offered empty promises.

Yang Mi's two agents worked together seamlessly, keeping her completely under their control.

This trick usually works well, but it's not working as well today.

Mimi finished her breakfast calmly and then called her assistant to go to her office to rest.

Mimi's position has remained unchanged; she is still the general manager of Bouquet Video.

However, after Li Mingyang returned, the flower bouquet video was replaced by the flower bouquet group. Since Li Mingyang was stationed in Hengdian for a long time, this department had no real power.

Li Mingyang used the finance department of the Bouquet Group to control the finances of all the companies under his name, and also set up a special inspection team to conduct regular inspections.

Dictatorship and authoritarianism!

Besides Li Mingtian being far from the emperor's reach and Zhang Wei having gone to the capital, Li Mingyang's control over the Bouquet Group had reached the point where all senior executives were practically powerless.

Zeng Jia and Zhao Ruoyao followed Mimi to her office on the sixth floor, which had a lounge with presidential suite amenities.

The house is 220 square meters, with the living room taking up more than half of it.

The extra-large circular sofa can seat thirty people at the same time, and is equipped with various shelves displaying clothes, wine, bags, trophies, certificates of honor, personal album CDs, Naruto figurines...

Mimi spends most of her time here having meetings and parties.

Mimi is a person who values ​​appearances and image very much. The decoration of this living room alone cost tens of millions, and the pure gold cartoon mural cost millions.

Li Mingyang turned Mi Mi's love letter, which was supposed to be a strong female lead love letter, into a strong male lead love letter.

When Mimi learned about this, she was furious, and even the bear was so angry it hurt.

However, having been stabbed countless times by Li Mingyang, she didn't grieve for long before a brilliant idea flashed into her mind.

That is to pack up the company's actors and stuff them into the Love Letter production team.

She could tolerate Li Mingyang's unfairness and inhumanity because the company's actors were crammed into the Love Letter drama crew, and Jiaxing Entertainment took off from nowhere!
Perfect World and Sunworld have been investigating Jaywalk for two years, but have not yet finalized a performance-based agreement for the IPO.

This is a huge opportunity!

It's okay if Li Mingyang doesn't want to.

Mimi has another trick up her sleeve.

Sending Dilraba to handle public relations is utterly useless; she herself is a perfect example.

With the Spring Festival approaching, it is the busiest time of the year for famous actors, with a constant stream of guests, events, and banquets.

Mimi is also on the cast list for Love Letter, but all the actors are too busy to make a decision.

This is also why Li Mingyang was the only actor cast when Love Letter started filming.

If Li Mingyang hadn't suddenly changed the script, she wouldn't have come to the set so early.

Mimi might not be able to handle Li Mingyang, but getting the other actors in the crew would be a piece of cake.

As soon as she got back to her office, she went straight to her lounge and locked the door.

He took out his phone and called Wu Jing.

"Hey, Jing-ge, how's your wedding preparation going?"

"Great! I'll definitely go!"

"You don't need to worry about filming Love Letter. It's fine to come after the Spring Festival... Don't worry, my husband films quickly. It's not a special effects blockbuster. Whether it takes a month or two to finish filming, there's no difference in the money."

"Don't worry, I'll take the blame if anything happens."

After calling Wu Jing, Mimi called Xie Nan to congratulate her and then told her to focus on preparing for the wedding and not to rush the filming of the love letter...

Wu Jing and Xie Nan, a married couple, managed to resolve the issue.

Mimi called Sun Honglei again.

"Brother Honglei... umm, the love letter is being filmed... are you coming over tomorrow?"

"Oh, no rush. You're just making a cameo appearance, it doesn't matter when you come."

"Okay, let's get together after the New Year."

"LeEco stock! I didn't buy much, definitely not as much as Brother Hong Lei."

After hanging up on Sun Honglei, Mimi called Teacher Huang, Teacher He, He Rundong, Li Bingbing, Fan Binbin, Xu Zheng, Huang Xiaoming, and Gao Yuanyuan. Some of the calls were not answered by the person in question, but by an assistant or a relative.

After making a round of phone calls, no one was in a hurry to join the crew.

Originally, these were all cameo roles. It was fine in the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai area, but for other places, the travel back and forth, plus filming, took at least three days.

For these first- and second-tier big brands, the losses in just three days can be in the millions.

Of course, if Li Mingyang calls to urge them, they will come running even if they don't want the money.

But Yang Mi told them not to rush, saying to many people that it would be the same to come after the New Year.

Anyway, Li Mingyang shoots quickly, and since it's an art film, it's very fast once the cast is all together.

Mimi kept making phone calls, telling the actors not to rush to the film set.

Li Mingyang received the message very quickly.

Mimi said there's no rush to film Love Letter, and many people believe her. However, it's still necessary to verify the information to avoid any misunderstandings.

"What's going on, Mimi? You're preventing others from joining the production so your Jiaxing Group's 'gift package' can come in? What are you thinking?" Li Mingyang hung up the phone. Walking along the pedestrian crossing in the Lanhuayu'an residential complex, a community with the most celebrities in Hengdian.

Normally it's easy to see acquaintances, but as the Spring Festival approaches, most people are busy going out to make money, so it's much quieter.

When I got home, the house wasn't quiet at all.

There are six Korean maids who take care of the rooms.

Perhaps because he rarely comes back, or perhaps because the food is too good, the six maids have all gained weight to varying degrees since they first arrived.

After Li Mingyang spoke to them, the six maids quickly lost weight.

She is very concerned about her image.

Back in his bedroom, Li Mingyang slept until 2 p.m. After washing up, he changed into a black tracksuit, put on sunglasses, and went outside. As soon as he stepped out, he saw a Rolls-Royce Phantom parked straight in front of his door.

"Director Li!"

The people who got off the bus and greeted him were absolutely astonishing to Li Mingyang.

He never dreamed that Jack Ma would appear at his doorstep at this very moment.

Coincidence?
Definitely not... He must have waited a long time for this unexpected encounter.

Not at the company, but at his doorstep.

This was a clandestine meeting...

……

The massive gears of the Lunar New Year film season, which grossed over 10 billion yuan, are spinning wildly, and have already surpassed 6 billion yuan so far!
Three films grossed over 1 billion yuan during the Lunar New Year holiday season.

The first company to break one billion was "Diaosi Men", and the second was "Fengbao", with only two days between them.

Next up is New Police Story, which barely broke one billion yesterday.

There are no more movies expected to break the 10 billion mark.

The animated version of Your Name was the closest to grossing one billion yuan, but it has exhausted the animation market and the general audience, and now its daily box office is hovering around a few million yuan, and its screenings have dropped to single digits.

Xiao Ye and Ah Huo are incredibly busy right now, with endless meetings, dinners, and constant flattery.

It wasn't others filming them, but rather they filming their superiors.

They certainly wouldn't dare claim all the credit for the rise of animated films.

Xiao Ye is a capable person when it comes to dealing with people, while Ah Huo is not. Sometimes Ah Huo talks too much and doesn't leave any room for the leader, so Xiao Ye has to mediate between them.

One is good at communication, and the other is good at professional skills, so they complement each other.

As for the other movies, they all did well at the box office. For example, I Am Somebody, The Left Ear, Personal Tailor, and Anti-Doping all surpassed the 400 million mark.

私人订制是1月9号上映，闻鸡起舞是1月10号上映，山河故人是1月11号上映。

With its opening day box office and pre-sales exceeding 100 million yuan, "Personal Tailor" demonstrates Feng Xiaogang's return to his signature style of comedy, proving his box office appeal.

Jiang Wen's "Hearing the Rooster Crow and Getting Up" is a mainstream film about reform and opening up and the changing times.

The script was obtained by Li Mingyang from CJ's script library by abusing his position.

The original script was the very same one that later became famous, starring Huang Lei, and attracted millions of viewers in the international market!

This movie was started by CJ in an attempt to curry favor with the Blue House.

The script was only one-third complete. Li Mingyang spent two days piecing it together and gave it to Jiang Wen.

Jiang Wen was overjoyed when he saw the script, but the final product was completely different from the script he had given him.

The story is still the same story, but it has been shattered by his desire to express himself.

Jiang Wen's films tend to be comedic, whimsical, and detached from reality.

Li Mingyang edited and deleted parts repeatedly, removing unnecessary comedic elements, risqué jokes, and parodies.

It can't be salvaged; it's a far cry from the original.

The only solution is to simplify the plot.
The box office for "Rise at the Rooster's Crow" was decent, thanks to the positive reception of the patriotic theme, with many theaters being booked out.

The box office has now exceeded 300 million.

The mountains and rivers are gone, and people are gone. It's hopeless.

Currently, it's less than 20 million... They're still working hard to promote and promote the film, but the theaters have cut the screenings of this movie to only 2%.

In addition, two animated films will be released tomorrow: Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf: The Pegasus Adventure and Boonie Bears: The Treasure Hunt.

The films Tiny Times 2 and Balala the Fairies: The Test of Magic will be released the day after tomorrow.

A large number of blockbuster movies will be released next week, including Train to Busan, The Fairy Tale of the Heavenly Maiden, and Northern Ireland Film.

Including other low-budget films that joined the fray, a total of 37 films have been released so far in January.

The situation is very promising, with upcoming titles including The Monkey King, From Vegas to Macau, Ex-Files, and Where Are We Going, Dad?

These four movies did quite well at the box office in their previous lives.

Moreover, this was achieved without any ticket subsidies.

The Monkey King: Havoc in Heaven broke 1 billion views, ranking second for the year. The top spot for the year was Transformers 4, which almost broke 2 billion views!

From Vegas to Macau surpasses 500 million at the box office.

The movie "Where Are We Going, Dad?" was terrible at first glance, but its box office performance was phenomenal, exceeding 600 million yuan...

"Ex-Files" is a big IP, but the first film only grossed over 100 million yuan. This was mainly because it was a low-budget film made to capitalize on Han Geng's fame.

Who knew that the filming would get better and better, and Han Geng really worked hard, even gaining weight and disfiguring himself, his acting skills kept improving.

From Li Mingyang's perspective, as long as Alibaba is willing to spend money, it can easily reach 10 billion yuan in box office revenue.

After all, there are still more than 20 days left, and the difference is less than 4 billion.

During the most difficult period of the Lunar New Year film season, Li Mingyang helped Alibaba get through it. Later, he even lent his name to Jack Ma, pushing the movie-going craze to its peak.

Li Mingyang couldn't think of any reason why Jack Ma would come to him.

Now is the perfect time to borrow money from a bank using facial recognition!

Why not go and show off instead of coming to him? Are you crazy?
Jack Ma and Li Mingyang shook hands and hugged warmly as soon as they met.

Li Mingyang invited Jack Ma to his home, but Jack Ma smiled and shook his head, instead inviting Li Mingyang to play golf at the Lanhuayuan golf course.

The golf course was built last year, and Li Mingyang hasn't been there yet.

Li Mingyang walked alongside Jack Ma, with a Rolls-Royce Phantom following behind.

The two chatted about everyday things, such as food, drinks, and entertainment, without discussing business.

When they arrived at the entrance of the golf course, Li Mingyang saw Cai Chongxin.

Then the entire stadium was booked out.

How do you play golf in heavy snow during winter?

The wealthy are never troubled by snow; the entire golf course is lush and green, and the water sprayed by the automatic sprinklers is always warm.

The caddies were Jack Ma's own people, three men and six women, none of whom Li Mingyang had ever met before.

So the group of twelve changed into their gear, went onto the court, and after playing for a while, Jack Ma finally got down to business.

When we were discussing serious matters, he made a gesture by turning around and glancing back.

The three men and six women left silently in their golf carts, leaving only Joseph Tsai, Jack Ma, and Li Mingyang on the vast lawn.

When Jack explained his purpose.

Li Mingyang was utterly shocked!
I was even more shocked than when Jack Ma showed up at his doorstep!
This guy can be scared too?
Aren't you supposed to be awesome?

……

Around 4 PM, Li Mingyang arrived at Mingyang Ninth Floor, but did not immediately go to the film crew on the Seventh Floor.

Instead, he stood in front of the bookshelf, gazing at his golden palm.

To put it nicely, Jack Ma wanted to 'step down and make way'; in reality, Jack Ma made a mistake that everyone would make.

What is national is also global.

Jack copied his homework.

Seoul Spring broke the box office ceiling in South Korean film history, creating a new world.

It uses national self-confidence and national antagonism!

Regarding ethnic conflict, Jack Ma is useless.

He used the concept of national self-confidence, spent a lot of money on publicity, and wanted to anchor the 10 billion yuan Lunar New Year film season on national self-confidence!
And then things went awry...

What is your identity?
How dare a mere businessman touch upon the topic of ethnicity?
There's a classic saying in the history section of the University of Tokyo: "Are kings and nobles born with a special destiny?"

This is also part of the nation...

Jack Ma didn't say exactly what happened, but he sincerely wanted to 'step down and hand over the 'fruits of victory' that was about to be obtained to him!

Li Mingyang had long ago realized that the mainstream ideology is the mainstream ideology, and the nation is the nation.

Don't touch it carelessly.

There are 56 ethnic groups.

Jack Ma really lost out this time...

But if Li Mingyang takes over, will he also be implicated?
The Palme d'Or is impressive, but how many people really care?
Chen Wenbo cheated him, but no one stood up for him!

"It feels like a pit of fire!"

"If Alibaba leaves, who will pay for the subsidies? Can we rely on Tencent?"

"It doesn't seem like it's impossible..."
