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

Chapter 425: Transformers 3 is released and all lines are lost, and the Film and Television Cultural Village is desperate!

Night, Huayi headquarters.

Wang Dajun looked at the company's performance report with a smile on his face. Although the performance was very bad, it did not affect Wang Dajun's good mood.

The falling out between Guangguang and China Motion Picture is such a pleasant surprise!
"Well, the industry is in a downturn this year. It's not your fault. Let's take it slow. After we get through this year, next year will be Huayi's world." Wang Dajun said with a smile.

Seeing this, others started to make a fuss.

"Guangzhou is nothing without Li Mingyang. There is no place for Guangzhou in the film market next year."

"Director Wang, this is a brilliant move! Once Li Mingyang leaves, the others have no other ideas. Several people have already decided to renew their contracts."

"Let's lower the price first. You are a bunch of wicked people who really think Huayi is a charity." Wang Xiaolei suggested.

"Without the light, our Huayi is invincible! The stock price is going to take off!"

"I've said before that Li Mingyang can make movies but he can't be a human being. He will be finished sooner or later."

Wang Dajun used to find it irritating to listen to everyone arranging the stories about Guang Guang and Li Mingyang because he really couldn't handle it.

It sounds extremely pleasant now, because Li Mingyang is really going to leave this time.

Huayi has no rivals!

Moreover, if you offend China Film, your life will be difficult in the future.

"Director Wang, what if Li Mingyang wins the Academy Award? That would be a huge influence! Cinemas are all money-hungry wolves!"

"The box office only makes a few bucks, haha...Okay, let's talk about the film and television city. Film and television cities are very popular this year, so let's find a tourist attraction to build a film and television city."

Huayi was in a mess last time because of the film and television city, and the Wang Dajun brothers had already given up hope.

But there is the success of Feng Film and Television City.

The investment and support from local cultural and tourism bureaus in film and television cities have become unprecedentedly popular.

The two brothers’ desire to run a film and television city was rekindled.

Just as everyone was discussing where to build a film and television city, the deputy manager of the publicity department suddenly ran in, "Director Wang, there's a big move with the lighting and bouquets!"

"What big move?" Wang Dajun asked seriously.

The deputy manager took out the printed materials and placed them in front of Wang Dajun.

Wang Dajun opened it and became more and more confused. When he read to the end, he felt it was too unbelievable and went back to read it again.

Wang Xiaolei was a little surprised and asked, "Chairman, what's wrong? They are in such a mess, can they still turn the tables?"

"It's not that serious..." Wang Dajun adjusted his glasses and stared at the contents of the document seriously, his eyes full of confusion, "Wang Changtian actually pledged 10% of Guangxian shares to Penguin?"

"That's not the case..."

"Then Penguin is the second largest shareholder of Guangxian?"

"Li Mingyang used Huazhu Entertainment to merge Huazhu Video, Mingyang Entertainment, and Mingyang Films..."

"Merge? Huahua Entertainment is under investigation, how can it merge with other companies?"

Wang Dajun shook his head.

It’s not a real check…

Only by keeping the eggs separate can you avoid risks and maximize your own interests.

Li Mingyang's reverse operation of integrating all companies together is extremely abnormal.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

Wang Dajun couldn't continue the meeting, so he immediately ended it and returned to the office.

After more than an hour of making phone calls, chatting on WeChat, and looking up information, Wang Dajun finally found out from Alibaba what Li Mingyang wanted to do.

"What the hell is wrong with you? You actually mortgaged all your real estate to Ali!"

"There will definitely be a big move. Wang Changtian and Li Mingyang now have over 1 billion in cash!"

"You want to mess with me? Come on if you dare! If I hide, I won't be named Wang!"

Wang Dajun sneered. He wished that Wang Changtian and Li Mingyang would use their own abilities to hurt others in order to harm Huayi.

He would love nothing more than to poach Huayi's stars and suppress Huayi's stars.

He was just worrying about how to deal with these ungrateful people.

Anyone who dares to run away will be killed as a warning to others!
As for the film business, Huayi has no decent film projects this year. The only film that it had high hopes for, "Snow Flower and the Secret Fan", only earned 114 million yuan.

Wang Dajun has given up and decided to give up this year.

It doesn't matter. Don't be afraid.

……

7 month 21 day.

The Hollywood blockbuster "Transformers 3" was released at midnight on July 7, although both the theaters and the film company stated that the box office of the midnight screening would be calculated together with the box office on the first day before being announced.

But based on the popularity of the advance screenings and data from major ticketing software, the box office for the midnight advance screening of "Transformers 3" exceeded 3000 million!
It became the highest-grossing film in the country's history.

At 21 p.m. on the 3st, Transformers had grossed over million yuan, becoming the fastest-grossing film in mainland China’s film history.

The industry was shocked, no one expected Transformers 3 to be so perverted.

The explosive box office performance has shattered the views of all filmmakers.

Filmmakers in the industry have predicted that Transformers 3 will likely gross over 2 million yuan on its first day.

Compared to the world-famous "Transformers 3", domestic films are quite deserted.

Even the establishment of the party was lacking in momentum.

The Witch, which was released at the same time, had box office revenue of less than one million halfway through its first day.

Li Mingyang, who won the top spot in the Chinese-language box office with Your Name, had such terrible box office performance on the first day of his new movie.

While countless people were shocked, Wang Changtian's words "domestic film pill" swept the entire Internet like an avalanche.

The avalanche is unprecedented.

The negative trending searches that major film and television companies invested money to buy were all drowned out.

The trending search on Weibo, 'Domestic Movie Pills', topped the list and stayed there for a whole day, with the popularity only dropping late at night.

7 month 22 day.

Transformers' first day box office is released: 2.03 million!
Breaking Your Name's first-day box office record of 6100 million, raising this record to an unprecedented height.

While the mainstream media was amazed, they also couldn't help but sigh at the failure of domestic films.

The explosive box office performance of Transformers 3 has completely shattered everyone's views. So far this year, no domestic film has broken million yuan in box office.

Transformers 3 did it in one day!
The record holder for Chinese-language box office, Li Mingyang's new film The Witch, only grossed 210 million.

With such disastrous box office results, many netizens who were dissatisfied with Li Mingyang began to clamor that he had run out of ideas and was a disgrace to himself.

When industry insiders were interviewed, Li Mingyang also began to beat around the bush.

"It's okay if a movie fails. The top three domestic directors all had box office failures. Just keep trying for the next one."

"No one can succeed forever. Li Mingyang still has a long way to go."

"It's normal for Director Li to lose to the Autobots. He knows it well. Even the ticket compensation is useless. It's just that this time the defeat was a bit too tragic."

"Director Li has been creating box office miracles, and I believe he will create another one."

As more and more filmmakers showed up, Feng Kuazi realized that the time was right and accepted interviews from the media at Huayi headquarters.

"Movies are all about content. What's the point of a domestic film being ranked first by fans? It will die in the spotlight! Director Li is still young. I hope that after he goes to Hollywood, he can see the real film industry and learn more advanced concepts. He can make movies down to earth instead of taking shortcuts and wasting his time on messy publicity and promotion."

"Director Feng, you are jealous of Li Mingyang's fans!"

"Fuck you, what media outlet are you from? Get out of here!"

After the reporter who broke Feng Kuazi's defense was dragged out by the security guards, Feng Kuazi smacked his lips and continued to say to the media: "It's a pity that Director Li is going to Hollywood after the New Year! In fact, I have always wanted to compete with Director Li again. If You Are the One 2 has been released, but your name has not been released yet. It's really boring. Only by competing with each other can we see the true level!"

"Some people's success is accidental, while others' success is accumulated over time, with one movie after another becoming the box office king."

The interview ended shortly afterwards.

"Li Mingyang took advantage of the situation and relied on fans to boost the box office."

"Li Mingyang's success is accidental. Feng Xiaogang is the real box office king."

"The Dugu Qiubai Feng Xiaogang blasted Li Mingyang for winning unfairly."

"Feng Pants put the fuck up!"

Feng Kuazi's remarks quickly spread on the Internet.

Everyone in the media knows that Feng Kuzi and Li Mingyang have a grudge, and Feng Kuzi has just finished his attack.

Immediately, hundreds of media outlets went to the crew of Love and Destiny to interview Li Mingyang.

Everyone was looking forward to Li Mingyang’s counterattack.

However, to everyone's disappointment, Li Mingyang ignored Feng Kuazi and didn't even bother to respond on Weibo.

Just when everyone felt regretful.

Light Media and LeTV Pictures issued a joint announcement that they have reached a preliminary intention with the Hangzhou government to invest 60 billion yuan to build a film and television cultural village in the Xixi Science and Technology Island area between Wenyi West Road and Wener West Road.

This announcement was quickly reprinted by major mainstream websites and made the front page headlines.

Many netizens were quite puzzled as to why such an announcement made the headlines. There are so many film and television city projects this year that it is hard to keep up. Everyone would rather see Li Mingyang blast Feng Pants.

Netizens were confused and didn't understand what was going on.

The domestic entertainment industry was in an uproar.

Because the land where Light Media and LeTV invested in building the film and television cultural village is exactly the land where Emperor Entertainment Group is planning to build its film and television cultural village!
The land had clearly been acquired, all his information and procedures were ready, and the agreement would be signed in September.

Now Guangxian and LeTV are trying to snatch the spoils.

Tolerable or unbearable!
Call someone in Hangzhou immediately.

"Old Yang, what do the people over there say?"

"He wants me to go to a meeting tomorrow at noon to discuss it. They actually paid a 1 billion deposit! 1 billion in cash!"

Huo Wenxi widened his eyes in disbelief. Even though Yinghuang controlled half of the Hong Kong circle, it couldn't come up with 1 billion in cash at once!

Domestic film and television companies are all robbing Peter to pay Paul! There are too many triangular and multi-corner accounts!
They used their connections and soon found out from CITIC where the money for Light Media and LeTV came from.

LeTV didn’t spend a penny.

This money was raised by Wang Changtian pledging his shares and Li Mingyang pledging all his real estate! "You're so stupid! You didn't go to Huayi to settle the score, but you messed with me! You really think I'm a pushover!"

Even with the 2008 incident, he wasn't that angry.

Although the younger generation was almost wiped out, there are still a few important ones left, and the overall situation is still there.

Wang Changtian and Li Mingyang are trying to cut off his source of income and ruin his domestic entertainment plans!

The bloodiness that had disappeared for a long time was ignited in an instant.

"If this had happened before, they would have been completely wiped out."

"Old Yang, don't be confused! If we touch them, we won't be able to survive in the mainland." Huo Wenxi said nervously.

"Why, I can't even satisfy my craving for words anymore."

"..."

On July 7, Boss Yang came to the Zhejiang International Convention and Exhibition Center to hold a meeting with relevant government personnel.

At the meeting, he met Zhang Zhao and Wang Changtian. Both of them looked relaxed, one was drinking tea and the other was smoking, which was quite annoying.

There are many ideas for Xixi Science and Technology Island. Both parties are powerful film and television companies, and the leadership is in a dilemma, so they want to split it into two.

But both parties rejected the proposal, so the higher-ups asked the two companies to come up with a plan each, and the one with the better plan that was more suitable for the future development of Xixi Science and Technology Island would be chosen.

The good news is that this land does not belong to Guangguang and LeTV yet.

The bad news is that the duck in your mouth flew away.

After the meeting, Boss Yang warmly entertained Zhang Zhao and Wang Changtian at the West Lake State Guesthouse.

I hope they can show some mercy and keep a very humble attitude.

And he said that he would never get involved with Huayi again.

"Old Yang, come and have a drink. We just want to build a film and television city. What does it have to do with Huayi? That piece of land is so good, and it's right next to the wetland park. We will definitely make a fortune if we develop it, haha!" Zhang Zhao laughed.

"Fair competition, come on! Do it!" Wang Changtian said with a smile.

Boss Yang cursed the two men a thousand times in his heart, but he still had a smile on his face. He stood up, picked up his glass, and clinked glasses with the two men.

Boss Yang refused to give up and even offered to take out shares to join the group to make money, but was still rejected.

He suddenly lost the mood to talk, pretended to be drunk, left the box, and left the State Guest House.

"Old Yang, we have many celebrities, but they only have one famous person, Li Mingyang, and the others are not worth mentioning. They were able to take over Youfeng Film and Television City because of Liu Yifei, Yang Mi, and Li Mingyang... Liu Yifei is easy to deal with, but Yang Mi is a little more difficult. No matter how powerful Li Mingyang is, his influence cannot compare to Jackie Chan."

Huo Wenxi calmly analyzed: "We have a huge advantage, they have no chance."

"Li Mingyang's Witch was a box office flop, and his appeal is gone... The most difficult ones to deal with are these two old foxes. You don't deal with them very often, so you don't know how powerful they are..."

Huo Wenxi's eyes turned, "Why don't we bring Yu Dong in?"

"It's better to pull Wang Dajun than Yu Dong. Yu Dong still depends on me... a bunch of bastards. Something happened here, but you didn't even call me."

"If they don't look for us, we can go find them!" Huo Wenxi was slightly stunned when he saw the huge poster of the bus stop outside the car window.

After a while, she saw the same poster again and couldn't help but ask the driver to pull over.

"What did you see?" Boss Yang asked puzzledly.

"Something's wrong... Lao Yu turned around and parked at the bus stop opposite."

The driver, Lao Yu, nodded, turned the car around and parked it next to the bus stop. A huge poster immediately caught the eyes of Huo Wenxi and Boss Yang.

With a dark red gradient background, Liu Shishi wore a round-neck black dress, revealing her snow-white swan neck. She held a white mobile phone in her hand, placed on her collarbone.

On the dark red background next to the phone, there is a line of white words: "Xiaomi phones are fast!"

"Xiaomi is actually looking for a spokesperson?" Huo Wenxi said.

"Boss Lei, didn't you say you didn't need a spokesperson?"

"That's not the point. The point is that the ads are all on bus stops, and there are no fewer in shopping malls..."

"Liu Shishi's recent publicity offensive is incredible..."

"It's a pity that the witch met Transformers 3." Boss Yang said gloatingly: "Li Mingyang is indeed good at publicity, but his luck is not very good."

"I have no choice. Anyone who collides with Transformer 3 will die."

“I am even more helpless now.”

Boss Yang sighed, held the phone in his hand, and hesitated to make a call to Wang Dajun.

Huo Wenxi knew that Boss Yang was worried that Wang Dajun was greedy, so he said, "Bai Bin has been following Li Mingyang on the Witch's roadshow recently, so why not let Bai Bin go and have a talk?"

"The box office is so bad, why are we still going on a roadshow?"

"The Witch is a typical example of good reputation but bad box office. Shirahama said that this Witch is so good that it is exaggerated..."

Boss Yang frowned slightly and glanced at the time on his watch. "We still have some time. Let's go to a movie theater."

"Baibin?" asked Florence Hui.

"Let her try. Those two old foxes only listen to him now."

After half an hour.

Boss Yang, Huo Wenxi, and driver Lao Yu walked into the screening room together.

We booked a theater to watch a movie and sat down for a short while.

The theater staff showed The Witch.

The online reviews of Li Mingyang's third film, The Witch, were mixed.

Boss Yang himself spent money to criticize others, so there is no point in reading the comments.

Seeing is believing.

Boss Yang has been in the film industry for more than ten years and has an old-fashioned vision. He really can't stand watching Your Name.

But the witch was surprisingly able to see inside.

"It's a very literary beginning, adding a little suspense..."

"Uh, this witch is actually blind? This blind man acted really well..."

"It's an action movie, but why is it so artistic? It's too long-winded!"

Boss Yang changed into a comfortable sitting position and continued watching. Now he felt the movie was a bit boring.

Since the establishment of Feitu Films, Yinghuang has been committed to producing action films. Boss Yang prefers action films and cannot stand the literary and artistic tone.

After staying up for a long time, I was almost asleep.

The scene changed, and in the middle of the night, a group of men in black broke into the heroine's house.

The heroine was awakened by the dense footsteps. Realizing something was wrong, she quickly got up and went out to check.

Boss Yang immediately became interested, "Finally the fight is about to begin!"

Seeing her best friend's life threatened, the heroine's emotions instantly went out of control. She quickly grabbed the pistol and shot all the gunmen in the house in the head, killing them.

With a backhand slap, the scarred man's face was covered in blood.

Boss Yang frowned slightly, "This action is very average..."

As the plot progresses, the film continues to move towards its climax, the mystery is revealed bit by bit, and the witch finally reveals her true face.

Bloody and violent killing!
The oppressive feeling of punches hitting flesh, the scenes of collapse and explosion, the crushing battle scenes, and the fierce and evil witch.

There is also the Witch's Heart Web inserted just right.

Boss Yang was very satisfied and felt great!

"The ultimate and pure aesthetic of violence!" Boss Yang exclaimed.

“Throats slit, heads exploded, blood spurting everywhere, and this kind of film actually passed the review.” Florence Hui exclaimed in amazement.

"He must have found some connections... How long did it take Li Mingyang to shoot this film?"

"We started filming on March 3 and finished on April 22. In the middle, we also filmed Let's Run... It took less than a month." Florence Hui shook her head and smiled bitterly, "He is really a genius. The speed of filming has already caught up with the golden age of Hong Kong films."

"Movies back then didn't have any special effects... The special effects in this movie are really exquisite, and it only cost 60 million in total. If we don't get rid of people like this, how can we survive?"

"Too."

Boss Yang didn't say anything else. Instead, he looked up with a serious face, watching the movie gradually come to an end.

The hospital scene ended and the screen suddenly went black. Boss Yang thought it was over and was about to exclaim, "This is such a great film."

The screen slowly lit up again.

The witch walked out of the hospital. The shadows of the trees were dancing. In the fleeting light, the witch slowly raised her head, and a wicked smile appeared on the corner of her mouth...

The creepy smile instantly filled the air with horror.

The witch walks towards the street, and the camera gradually goes black...

The film finally ended.

The lights in the screening room came on, and Boss Yang sat in his seat with his head down, not moving for a long time.

Suddenly, he raised his head, his forehead was covered with sweat, and his eyes were extremely cold.

"Call Bai Bin and tell her to stay away from Li Mingyang."

"Why? Bai Bin is the one we are most familiar with Li Mingyang."

"Witch is a series of movies. Li Mingyang can't just sit back and watch... It's terrible. This guy has actually touched the threshold of film industrialization. He is already fearless. We don't have any bargaining chips at all."

"Let's give it a try. What if it succeeds? We don't have any major conflicts of interest with Li Mingyang!"

"That's not necessary."

He had already made up his mind to bring down Li Mingyang at all costs.

Li Mingyang is not friendly to the Hong Kong and Taiwan circles at all, and even uses the issue of stance to criticize the entire Taiwan circle.

Once he grows up, he will be a huge threat to the entire Hong Kong film industry.

Although he stands firmly on the side of the motherland, many people do not!
"Hello, Mr. Wang, are you interested in Yinghuang Film and Television Cultural Village?"

"Of course, I just arrived in Hangzhou. Where are you? I'll go find you!" Wang Dajun laughed.

"..."
