Chapter 510: The Way to Go
In the dim room, the air was filled with the smell of a mixture of sweat and perfume.

The bed sheets were in a mess, with wrinkles of varying depths, as if they had been squeezed by an invisible force. The pillows were crooked, and some had even fallen to the ground.

The quilt was half draped over the bed, with one corner hanging down.

The items on the bedside table were scattered, and it seemed that a cup had been overturned, leaving shallow marks on the table.

Clothes were strewn across the floor.

The transparent bathroom door was half-open, and faint sounds of water could be heard from inside. Steam slowly overflowed from the gap in the door, bringing with it the scent of shower gel.

My good brother has been working very hard recently and he even has a six-pack on his waist.

Li Mingyang still wanted to fight again, but Qingqing's life was also hers.

The little squirrel squatted on the ground unwillingly.

Li Mingyang left Huahua Technology feeling refreshed.

Before leaving, I chatted with Zhang Wei for more than ten minutes.

Li Mingyang spent the whole night figuring out Zhang Wei's purpose.

Capital and chaebols are not the same, but in essence they are both people who control the market.

The emergence of chaebols is strictly prohibited in China, as the biggest asset is capital.

The aristocratic families are there.

Everyone has a dream.

It’s good that Zhang Wei wants to be a chaebol. Only ambitious people can create greater value.

Someone is willing to stand in front of him and resist damage...

And Zhang Wei is really amazing.

What methods did Zhang Wei use to distort her good brother Tan Songyun's sense of right and wrong?

Li Mingyang could make a rough guess, but he dared to take action, but he couldn't bring himself to say it to break her inner innocence.

After leaving Huahua Technology, Li Mingyang had lunch on the roadside and then took a taxi to Ahuo’s comics studio - Huoman Studio!

Huoman Studio is located at 80-6, Lunxiandong, Jiangnan District, the original office location of Huashu Technology.

Ah Huo really loves comics, and his enthusiasm has a huge impact on the storyboard team. It can be said that all members are fanatical and suffocated by comics.

Maybe it was inspired by myself...

Ah Huo turned this somewhat shabby three-story building into a sweatshop.

The first floor is the reception area and restaurant, the second floor is the office area, and the third floor is the dormitory...

After opening for half a month, in addition to my own business, I only took three small advertisements.

Li Mingyang agreed to let Ah Huo make comics and pay them salaries, but he had only one request, which was that they could not take on storyboard designs for outside movies.

When they arrived at the second floor, there were more than a dozen people working on their manuscripts overnight. Li Mingyang took a look and saw that these people were still drawing page comics and had not yet embarked on the path of line comics.

In the era of smartphones, the presentation format of comic strips is perfectly suitable for mobile phone reading.

The reason why Korean comics can challenge the dominant position of Japanese comics and sweep the world is because of comic strips.

Chinese comics...

Animation actually improves every year, but comics are screwed, dead, dead...

The novel website only deprives the authors of their copyright, but at least they can still make a living.

Not only do Chinese comic studios deprive authors of copyright, they also turn authors into slaves and even require them to use a new pen name for each work. This way, readers have no idea which author owns which work, and only know which studio produced it.

In order to save costs, they even set up comic studios in pig factories, real pig factories, and the artists lived a slave life in darkness.

There are time limits for going to the toilet.

Li Mingyang found Ah Huo and Xiao Ye and checked the progress of the animation production of Weathering With You.

Many of the films shot by Li Mingyang are live-action versions of animations.

For example, Spy Game, Your Name, and Weathering with You.

I’ve enjoyed the benefits of the live-action version, and the benefits of the animation are even more delicious!

Live-action version and animated version, eat both versions together and have double the fun!
There is no hope for the live-action version of Weathering With You to be released abroad.

Li Mingyang is preparing to release an animated version overseas! Let's bomb the daily life!

It is quite difficult for domestic films to be released on Xiaozizi... Xiaozizi only gives face to China Film Group, and other film and television companies don’t even care about it.

But it’s different when coming from Korea. The Korean film market is not on guard against Xiao Rizi, and Xiao Rizi is not on guard against Korea either.

The place of Korea is truly a blessed land for cultural export.

"You guys are a bit slow!" Li Mingyang let go of the mouse and said to Ah Huo and Xiao Ye who were sitting opposite him.

"Lack of manpower..." Xiao Ye said.

"If you are short of manpower, just recruit!"

"We hired, but the level of the applicants is a bit low," Xiao Ye said.

"Boss, I have something I want to discuss with you. Can we go to Japan to recruit people? The comics industry here is not as good as that in China, and the drawings are very crude." Ah Huo said.

"No, there is also employment protection here. This studio does not conform to the employment principles of the Koreans at all. It doesn't grow big. If it does, you will be called in for tea immediately. You must recruit at least 50 Koreans."

Xiao Ye and Ah Huo immediately looked embarrassed. The comics industry in Korea is just as bad as in China. The only advantage is that there are no restrictions.

As long as the 18+ comics are labeled 18+, they can be published and put online normally, just like daily life.

"Boss, can we subcontract it to Xiao Rizi's company?" Ah Huo said.

"Yes, the industrial chain there is complete and cheap. We can acquire a few companies and subcontract the business there."

Anyone who can say such things has never been cheated by life.

Xiao Ri's art of disappearing is too famous. When acquiring a company, it is normal for the company to be deserted and you can't even find it.

Bilibili has set up a branch in its daily life, and Sony is behind it. Tsk tsk, when they stop playing, the people are gone, the accounts are empty, and the funds disappear out of thin air.

Once the funds involve tens of millions, it is really true that money makes the world go round. It is too easy to find someone to take the blame after spending hundreds of thousands or millions...

Li Mingyang listened to the two men's plan to build a comic empire in China, Japan and South Korea through acquisitions.

He did not attack them directly, but listened patiently to the two men's dreams of achieving hegemony and to see to what extent they had actually achieved them.

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, Old Wu also came to join us.

When Old Wu heard that Ah Huo and Xiao Ye were planning to complete their comic business by acquiring Xiao Rizi's company, he was speechless on the spot. These two words made the two of them feel completely disappointed.

"Comics are drawn by people. What's the point of acquiring a company? What if the people run away? Do you know how many backup company names we have?"

The farce between Ah Huo and Xiao Ye was ruthlessly crushed by Old Wu.

Li Mingyang is particularly skilled at using this tactic with his shell company.

There is no more joke to be seen.

Li Mingyang knocked on the table to attract the attention of the three people, and said, "The progress of Weathering With You is too slow, and the filming of New World is also coming to an end. Old Wu, come here and help Ah Huo and Xiao Ye recruit people to expand the team of Huoman Studio."

"Huoman Studio has job protection, but there is a shortage of talent. If we recruit people... we recruit college students and train them from scratch. Once they have graduated, they will be poached by local companies... My suggestion is to diversify our business. Twenty-eight artists and some photo retouchers are enough. In fact, our biggest problem from the beginning to today is that we don't have original content. We are in great need of excellent screenwriters. We can acquire local screenwriting companies in Korea."

Listening to Lao Wu's advice, Li Mingyang scratched his head.

It’s not that what Old Wu said is wrong, it’s that it’s so right!
Both Lao Wu and Zhang Wei are management talents with unique vision.

Old Wu prefers to be conservative. He can manage the company clearly in the same way he manages a film crew. He is really talented.

Zhang Wei is an offensive type, and is particularly good at the intrigues in the capital market, attacking cities and strongholds, and strategizing.

But there are very few outstanding talents like Lao Wu and Zhang Wei around him.

Xiaoye and Ah Huo are just here to make people laugh...

After Li Mingyang handed over the affairs of Huoman Studio to Wu Zhikui, he returned to the crew's hotel to rest.

The rest of the scenes in New World are all night scenes. Li Mingyang slept until about five o'clock and was woken up by the alarm clock.

After washing up.

Li Mingyang had a simple meal in the restaurant, then boarded the crew's bus and headed to CJ's indoor studio for filming.

To what extent do South Korea's four major film companies and three major TV stations control Korean entertainment?

Even the studio resources are exclusive.

Not to mention the location resources.

Hengdian wishes all film crews would go to Hengdian to film, and offers various preferential policies.

As for Korea, many of the high-quality filming locations are exclusive and cannot be used by outsiders.

Of course, there are also some chaebols who want to promote themselves but not others.

In short, the small Korean entertainment industry has a lot of trouble.

The best thing about working with CJ is that these trivial matters have nothing to do with him, and he just needs to focus on making the movie.

This is what Li Mingyang thought...but the reality is often not as good as expected.

On February 2, Guangguang's stock price suddenly fell by 15%, fluctuating violently, and the stock price closed at less than 5 yuan. After the Spring Festival, Guangguang's stock price did not plummet on the first day of trading, but only fell by 160%.

Since then, it has been in a fluctuating state, stabilizing at around 200 yuan.

After being stable for more than two weeks, the market suddenly plummeted, shocking countless investors.

On February 2, Guangxian’s stock price hit the limit down at the opening and could not stabilize!
Wang Changtian tried every possible means, including discussing with Shanghai and transferring 1 billion yuan of funds from the Science Fiction Film and Television City, but failed to stabilize the stock price.

On February 2, Li Mingyang returned to China overnight to attend the press conference of Guangxian, but still failed to stabilize the stock price.

Violent fluctuations and continuous limit down.

In just over a month, the market value of Guangxian has dropped from its peak of 310 billion to just 130 billion.

However, when Guangxian's stock price plummeted, Huayi Brothers' stock price went against the trend and surpassed Guangxian to regain its leading position.

This was a premeditated attack.

This was also mixed with frantic selling by celebrities.

Shishi, Mimi and Tiantian all ran away. Mimi cried for a whole day and a night. All the money she had earned from buying houses over the years was lost. She swore never to buy stocks again.

There is no reason for the rise in Guangxian’s stock price, but there is actually a reason for its fall.

On Saturday, February 2, Alibaba’s Tao Piaopiao, Penguin and Wanda’s Weying Era announced their launches one after another!
The three BAT companies and Wanda have entered the ticket subsidy platform together!

The era of Nuomi and Maoyan dominating the market is over!
That's not the worst!
The worst thing is that the construction of Yinghuang Film and Television Cultural Village has continued!

A number of big names in the Beijing circle, as well as the Central Academy of Drama and Beijing Film Academy, sent people to show their support.

The Hong Kong and Beijing circles, which were apparently at loggerheads, suddenly shook hands and made peace, and behind this was Yinghuang's compromise.

Yinghuang Film and Television Academy has been cancelled!

What the Beijing circle could not accept the most was the existence of Yinghuang Film and Television Academy. When Yinghuang made concessions, the Beijing circle also made concessions.

Huayi turned its guns around and joined forces with Yinghuang again. Together they developed Yinghuang Cultural Village and made fortunes together!
Li Mingyang withdrew from the Academy Awards just because he wanted to see the Beijing and Hong Kong circles fight each other, and Jiang Wen was slapped in the face. But now the Beijing and Hong Kong circles have shaken hands and made peace. All this is completely contrary to what he imagined.

Shanghai Airport.

“I can’t figure it out…” Li Mingyang opened the cigar box on the seat and smoked all the cigars.

Wang Changtian opened the cigarette case, took out two cigarettes from it, and handed one to Li Mingyang. "This is just the beginning. The situation will get worse and worse."

Li Mingyang certainly understood this principle. Zuoshandiao's so-called letting a hundred flowers bloom now seemed like a joke.

The Beijing circle is just one flower that stands out, how can a hundred flowers bloom together!

Capital is the most sensitive. The stock price of Guangxian collapsed, while the stock price of Huayi soared. Behind this is the choice of capital.

"To be honest, I didn't expect Guangguang's stock price to fall so badly. After all, Guangguang still has you. But given the current situation, I have a bold guess that they will find a way to lock you out."

"Why do they keep us outside?"

"Nothing is impossible... No matter how you develop in Korea, you can never surpass your achievements in the mainland. Besides, we have a wall, and it is too easy to block information."

"What does the mountain eagle say?"

"He is busy trying to achieve political achievements. Internet capital is propping up the domestic film market. This has always been his mission, and he can sacrifice anyone for this."

"Sacrificing the small self for the greater good again!"

"Roughly the same……"

"Mr. Wang, you seemed to have said that he really wanted to make a good movie? Do you still think so now?"

"He has the intention and is really trying hard, but it's not going well... I feel like he's about to be sacrificed..."

"..."

"I've been thinking a lot recently. In fact, we all did one thing wrong, which is to learn from Huayi and integrate the light too completely. It is too easy to be targeted. All eggs should not be put in one basket." Wang Changtian snorted, and the eyes behind the glasses were as cold as the abyss.

"share price……"

"Penguin's investment in the company does not affect the growth of the stock price."

"You want to play M&A?"

"I have an idea. What do you think of anime movies?"

Li Mingyang was stunned for a moment, then he was ecstatic. Wang Changtian finally got it!

Light is the light of domestic animation!
The emergence of Guangxian’s Color House has created a miracle in the animation industry of the University of Tokyo!
The appearance of the Colorful House is related to The Return of the Monkey King!

In 2015, "The Monkey King: Hero is Back" earned nearly 10 billion yuan at the box office, and domestic animated films began to show their unique charm.

However, Wang Changtian missed out on The Return of the Great Sage because of his conservative investment tendencies.

I was depressed for half a year, and then I founded Colorful House, dismantled the company that produced The Monkey King: Hero is Back, and integrated the original team into Colorful House.

“Find the best animation director in China and make the most imaginative movie.”

This is Wang Changtian’s philosophy.

In order to control the content side, Caitiaowu seizes the most important and active production factors - potential animators, animation companies and institutions.

The founding team of "The Return of the Great Sage" was the first to be affected.

In order to find a director with sufficient creativity and imagination, the general manager of Caitiaowu once visited people including Jiaozi, who he believed were the most experimental and tenacious animation short film makers in China since the Flash era.

It has completed investments in more than 20 studios or companies by adopting a "land grabbing" attitude of "invest, invest, invest" and "buy, buy, buy".

Caitiaowu adopts the light cooperation model of the Internet platform of "Xiaomi Ecological Chain".

“Participate in shares but not control”, “Help but not cause trouble”, “Suggest but not make decisions”.

Wang Changtian calls this process "companionship creation."

Caitiaowu has also initially built a relatively independent and complete animation industry chain, covering several major areas such as IP creation, creation and production of works, publicity and distribution, and peripheral derivative development, so that the content has a better value platform.

This model is like a timely relief for animation creators who lack funds and industry experience.

Huaqiang Fantawild pioneered the industrialization of domestic animated films.
Colorful House has ushered in a golden age of Chinese animation and has raised the technical level of animated films to an unprecedented height!
"I think it's feasible." said Li Mingyang.

"Really? I'm planning to make an animated film. From now on, I'll rely on you for the live-action films..."

"Why do you suddenly want to make an animated film? Animated films are indeed a good direction, but the domestic market is not mature. Isn't it too early now?"

"It's better to be prepared..." Wang Changtian sighed, "I have invested in Tudou.com and have talked to Lao Gu. Streaming platforms are really profitable. The pay of domestic entertainment stars will definitely increase to a ridiculous level in the future... I don't want to work for a star."

"..."

"Li Meijin's situation is not good now. CJ and Samsung are not getting along." Wang Changtian shook his head and smiled bitterly: "She and I are schoolmates. Before we cooperated, she approached me and wanted to cooperate with me, but I didn't agree... If you have any problems that you can't solve over there, you can talk to her about cooperation. I don't plan to invest in theaters, and joining forces with CGV can make up for the shortcomings."

"Uh, isn't this going against Wanda?"

"Do you think if I don't move, Wanda will stop messing with me? It's not easy to be the leader. Others wish you were dead..."

"The problem now is that they are afraid that I will come back and ruin their plans. If we have a falling out..."

Wang Changtian laughed, and his laugh was particularly creepy.

"It is a basic principle to rather kill the wrong person than let him go."

……

October 2, 20 pm.

Li Mingyang arrived at Incheon Airport and then got on Li Xiucheng's broken Hyundai to go to the crew.

After arriving at the crew, Li Mingyang ate instant noodles while thinking about his worries.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the filming continued. Although they had been away for three days, the actors in the crew were still in good shape and their performances were still outstanding.

After coming to Korea, he can make movies properly. There are no empty censorship standards, no pressure of scheduling, no need to worry about publicity and promotion, no suppression from peers... and no need to worry about actors.

Korean dramas are filmed while being broadcast, with 100% live recording, which has cultivated a large number of cornerstone actors.

When excellent actors collide with each other, there will always be many unexpected famous scenes.

Late at night, Li Mingyang was in the editing room, wearing headphones, blocking out the noise outside, and happily editing the new footage shot that day.

He insisted on coming to Korea, which caused serious consequences and huge losses.

Regret?
Li Mingyang propped up his chin and looked at the new world he had photographed, the dark and cruel filter, the bleak background music, the brisk rhythm, the smooth acting...

Li Mingyang grinned. Regret was totally non-existent.

Only in Korea can he win an Oscar!

Two insurances, one is CJ, the other is FBTV!

During this period, he was filming New World while quietly paying attention to the Korean entertainment ecosystem.

The Korean culture going overseas can be divided into three stages: borrowing a boat to go out to sea, inviting boats into the port, and building ships at sea!

He is now using the big ship CJ to go out to sea.

FBTV is the big ship he built!

Once successful.

He is the first Chinese-speaking person from mainland China to win the Oscar for Best Director!
No one can erase his achievements!

"Sloppy development is the way to go!"
