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

Chapter 330 Movies + Travel, Dominating the Box Office

At eight o'clock the next morning, Li Mingyang, who had not slept all night, posted a Weibo.

"One Punch Man is an accident. Thank you for liking it. After thinking about it all night, I felt that giving up like this would disappoint the efforts and dreams of all the employees of Mingyang Entertainment, as well as all the audiences who liked it. So I decided to use the box office share of Your Name to make One Punch Man... If the box office of Your Name can break 1 billion, I will bring One Punch Man to the big screen."

Aiming for a billion box office!

The director changed from one person to two people.

Li Mingyang didn't give up yet.

He even used One Punch Man to mobilize netizens to help him break the 1 billion mark.

Countless people in the industry criticized Li Mingyang's behavior. Countless internet trolls criticized Li Mingyang's character and used his works to threaten netizens, saying that he is a despicable person and extremely shameless.

Public opinion is overwhelming.

Your Name's box office was booming.

With the release of the Hollywood blockbuster The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, two domestic heroes have occupied IMAX and have an advantage in screening schedules.

4300 million in a single day! Win the Japanese championship.

"In terms of marketing, Huayi and Yinghuang combined are not as good as Li Mingyang alone." Jack Ma said with a smile as he looked at the report on the table.

"What a genius! It's such a shame to make a movie."

"While others were fighting to the death, he didn't care about his reputation or public opinion, and just kept pretending to be dead. When everyone was almost done fighting, he jumped out."

"If it weren't for Jiang Wen's Let the Bullets Fly, I think Li Mingyang would really win."

"If Let the Bullets Fly hadn't been released, the number of ads for If You Are the One 2 would have been ruined by Li Mingyang right from the start."

"You can't say that. The director's reputation is there. Even if If You Are the One 2 has a bad reputation, it can still earn over million yuan."

“This is the benefit of the ticket subsidy.”

"Hua Yi is too ruthless. Even if your name is worth over 1 billion, Li Mingyang is still not as valuable as Feng Kuazi."

"Li Mingyang has made too few movies, but the future belongs to him."

Jack Ma listened to the discussion for a while, and suddenly said seriously: "Ali has already bet on Huayi. Is it necessary to keep Li Mingyang as a variable?"

The box office war has entered the second half and the fight is fierce.

Any of BAT can control the situation and directly use capital to eliminate its opponents.

The prerequisite is to really invest, not just invest money.

The focus of Penguin and Baidu is not on the film industry, but on the video industry.

The box office battle is just a casual move, no one takes it seriously.

Only Ali is serious! He wants to control the film industry.

Everyone else expressed their opinions, but Cai Chongxin remained silent.

Jack Ma felt that Cai Zhongxin had something to say, but didn't want to say it now.

So the meeting ended, leaving Cai Chongxin alone.

"It's just you and me now. What do you want to say?" Jack Ma said as he lowered his head to make tea.

Cai Zhongxin took off his glasses and waited until Jack Ma finished brewing the tea and stopped what he was doing before he spoke: "I just got the news from Boss Zhao that the ticket subsidy in your name was paid for by Li Mingyang himself."

"At the end of last month, Li Mingyang took the lead and Huace, Guangguang, Perfect, and Tangren reached a cooperation agreement, and Li Mingyang advanced 3.6 million yuan from Huace and Perfect."

Jack Ma put down the teacup he had picked up and frowned, "Too good to be true."

"Since Boss Zhao has told me, this matter will be exposed soon."

"I originally thought he could only use the opponent's force to attack him, but I didn't expect he could also hurt others with his own strength."

"Li Mingyang's move will intensify the conflict between Director Feng and Huayi, and between Jiang Wen and Yinghuang. So far, these two big directors who are aiming for a billion have only talked and not spent a penny."

"Li Mingyang doesn't follow the rules, so it's not a big problem."

"I've watched Let the Bullets Fly many times recently, and there's a line in it that I really like." Cai Zhongxin put on his glasses and smiled, "Let the bullets fly for a while."

"His destructive power is too great..."

"If Wang Changtian can tolerate him, why can't we?"

This sentence made Jack Ma silent for a long time.

"Drink tea, it will get cold if you don't drink it now." Jack Ma took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Come to think of it, I am also curious about what else he is going to do."

"Time doesn't run out for him. Things should be very busy soon."

……

October 1th, Sunday.

Blue Stage Headquarters.

Li Mingyang attended the press conference for the second season of Running Man.

The theme of the twelfth episode of the second season, "City Treasures", was announced to the public.

The new season of Running Man will select twelve cities across the country for recording, looking for mountain and water treasures, cultural treasures, character treasures, and spiritual treasures, exploring beautiful mountains and rivers and folk culture, and promoting the beautiful rivers and mountains of the motherland.

The theme of the second season was announced, and the response was mediocre.

The media doesn't care what the subject is.

Afterwards, Li Mingyang announced the guest list for the second season.

Liu Yifei, Liu Shishi, Yang Mi and Wang Luodan, the four little beauties are all on the list.

In addition, there are Hu Ge, Deng Chao, Huang Xiaoming, Baoqiang, Li Chen, Liu Yan...

No one else cares, except Liu Yifei.

The media at the scene suddenly became excited.

"Director Li, is Liu Yifei joining Running Man as a permanent guest?"

"No comment at the moment."

"Will the two regular female guests from the first season be retained?"

"Will Liu Yifei replace Yang Mi or Jing Tian?"

"Director Li, you and Liu Yifei are working together again. Have you already forgiven each other and will you work together again in the future?"

"Can you please let us know Liu Yifei's salary?"

"Liu Yifei has been promoting your name on the roadshow recently. May I ask if you two have met your parents?"

"The second part of Your Name Weathering With You has been approved. Director Li, has Liu Yifei been confirmed as the female lead in the second part?"

Liu Yifei's name came like a rainstorm. Li Mingyang rolled his eyes in his heart, but he waved his hands with a smile on his face. He waved his hands and retreated.

After waiting in the dressing room backstage for a while, Boss Zhao came over after dealing with the reporters. As soon as they met, he said enthusiastically: "Director Li, I knew you were sensible. With Liu Yifei here, there will be no worries about the popularity of the second season!"

“I’m just a director.”

"It's okay, no...you're not going to be a regular guest anymore?!" Boss Zhao said in surprise.

"Ah."

"Running Man Season 2 relies entirely on you and Liu Yifei to attract investment. How can you quit? Director Li, don't worry, we won't kick Jing Tian out. Even though she's really not popular, has no audience appeal, and isn't likable at all, she's your girlfriend after all."

"Jing Tian doesn't take any photos either."

Boss Zhao blinked. Although it was good that Jing Tian was not here, there would be big problems in the second season if Li Mingyang was not a regular guest.

"The first season is unrepeatable. For the second season, I can only try my best to maintain a good viewership and not ruin the brand."

Boss Zhao smiled and said that Li Mingyang must shoot, but now was not a good time. She planned to have a good talk with Li Mingyang after she had recruited merchants from Blue Channel and had a profit range.

Although I don’t know why, the ticket subsidy for your name now is paid by Li Mingyang.

If the value of your name exceeds 3.6 billion, the ​​million that Li Mingyang advanced would be almost gone.

"Boss Zhao, this is the plan I made for the second season of Running Man. Please take a look." Li Mingyang handed a copy to Boss Zhao.

Boss Zhao took the document with a look of joy, but after looking at it for a while, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared.

She glanced at Li Mingyang suspiciously, said nothing, and continued to read, faster and faster.

"You're taking a different approach. It's unbelievable. It's really a sin for Jiang Wen and Feng Xiaogang to meet you..."

Li Mingyang grinned, "Is the plan feasible?"

"How much is the ticket price? The original price, or 19.9 yuan after the subsidy?"

"Nineteen dollars and ninety."

"I can't think of any reason why they would refuse." Boss Zhao put the document on the table and said with a smile, "Is this amount enough? Do you want me to help you raise it to 1 billion?"

"What price?"

"We are all so familiar with each other. Talking about the price will hurt feelings."

Li Mingyang picked up the document on the table and handed it to Boss Zhao again. "This is an agreement that you, I, and they are all satisfied with. Just stop here... In addition, there is no relationship between us that can be hurt, because there never was."

After saying that, Li Mingyang asked everyone else to leave the backstage.

Boss Zhao looked at Li Mingyang who was leaving with a smile, feeling a lot of emotion for a moment.

"At the end of the box office war, when no one can leave, he strikes back... This is not a tiger cub, but a poisonous snake..."

……

Domestic tourism is a trillion-dollar market.

The investment in culture and tourism is even higher than that in real estate.

The pillar industry of many cities across the country is tourism.

In order to promote local tourism, local cultural and tourism bureaus not only sponsor movies and TV series, but also invite celebrities to endorse their products.

Before 2018, the three fields of culture, tourism and radio and television were independent of each other, and provinces, cities and counties had corresponding departments at the same level.

In the 2018 institutional reform, culture and tourism were merged, and the Ministry of Culture and the Tourism Bureau were merged.

Subsequently, provincial-level cultural tourism and radio, television and film began to merge, with Zhejiang taking the lead in establishing the Department of Culture, Radio, Film and Television and Tourism.

Culture, tourism and entertainment are the general trend.

The City Treasure Plan is a big cake for the cultural and tourism departments.

If anyone wants to eat it, they have to reserve your name.

Your Name was filmed in Dali and Hangzhou.

With the nationwide release of Your Name, the tourism industry in both places was directly boosted, and the number of tourists increased dramatically.

Hangzhou has simply tasted the sweetness of the combination of film and tourism.

As a nationally renowned tourist city, Dali's tourism industry has ushered in unprecedented prosperity since the release of Your Name.

In December, when Your Name was released, the number of tourists to Dali soared, making it the city with the highest number of tourists and the highest income in the country in December.

Dali’s culture and tourism department now directly uses posters with your name on them as promotional posters. The streets, restaurants and hotels are all filled with posters with your name on them.

A movie makes a city popular.

This makes other local cultural and tourism bureaus drool with envy.

Now Li Mingyang is going to host the national variety show Running Man to promote the beautiful mountains and rivers of the motherland.

Cultural and tourism bureaus in various places heard the news and wanted to participate, offering all kinds of ridiculously good conditions.

Huace has only one requirement for the cultural and tourism bureaus that want to participate, which is to use your name as a benchmark for cultural and tourism films, and the local government must book a theater to support it.

Use movies to promote cultural tourism, and then use cultural tourism publicity as an expense to get the government to book the entire theater.

A trillion-dollar plate and tangible political achievements of leaders at all levels.

The amount for booking the entire venue was only 20 million.

The local cultural and tourism bureaus did not take this small amount of money seriously and agreed readily.

Everyone thought this would be a very long competition.

Unexpectedly, Huace announced the list of cities in just one day.

There are no first-tier cities or second-tier cities, only third- and fourth-tier cities that are mainly based on tourism.

Just as a number of media outlets were commenting on this choice.

Li Mingyang and members of Running Man appeared in the ancient city of Dali, promoting the second season of Running Man with the local government.

After the promotion ended, Li Mingyang posted a Weibo: The box office of Your Name has exceeded 500 million.

And it was accompanied by a poster that broke 500 million.

Li Mingyang used concerts as a hype, held movie ticket lotteries, used One Punch Man to attract the audience, and used Running Man Season 2 to get the government to book the theater.

With this one-two punch, Your Name topped the box office charts for seven consecutive days in the following week.

It exceeded 600 million in three days and exceeded 700 million on the seventh day.

Even Hollywood blockbusters like The Chronicles of Narnia and TRON: Legacy could not shake its popularity.

It also put a lot of pressure on Let the Bullets Fly and If You Are the One 2.

The daily box office of the two domestic blockbusters fell below 10 million yuan one after another.
