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

Chapter 619 Seoul Spring was completed, with a staggering 2000 million viewers!
"Okay, I'll call and tell you."

"You have to sign off on the funding for Plan C. Did you forget?"

After Li Meijin's reminder, Li Mingyang finally remembered.

In order to prevent the funds of Plan C from being misappropriated and falsified, Li Mingyang arranged a lot of insurance, multi-party audits, and multiple controls, among which his signature was the key.

Although Li Meijin didn't say it explicitly, Li Mingyang knew what she wanted to do.

Taking advantage of film projects, making money out of nothing.

"How much are you going to ask for?"

"Twenty billion."

This was in Korean won, and Li Mingyang could accept it, so he agreed.

Li Meijin brought the contract with her and signed it while standing on the cleared street.

After signing, Li Mingyang looked up and around, feeling as if he was being secretly photographed...

This cannot be blamed on Li Mingyang for being cautious. It is just that he has been in Korea for too long and has seen too many long-distance candid photos like this.

Candid photography is one of the main features of Korean culture.

After Li Meijin and her group left, Li Mingyang continued to film Seoul Spring.

There are three days left to wrap up.

At the critical moment, you can't be careless!

……

"loyalty!"

"loyalty!"

"loyalty!"

Amidst the loyal cheers, Seoul Spring came to an end!

At the grand wrap-up banquet at the hotel where the crew was staying, Li Mingyang personally distributed red envelopes.

Everyone in the crew, from top to bottom, received a big red envelope.

After handing out the red envelopes, Li Mingyang did not stay at the wrap-up party, but returned to his room to settle the bill.

The crew is seriously over budget and is expected to need more than 350 billion won.

"He was pretending to be a rich man. He was so excited that he spent so much money." Li Mingyang said with a wry smile as he looked through the account books and receipts on the table.

He has already been a negative asset.

Everything that could be mortgaged had been mortgaged, including all the mansions and villas in Seongbuk-dong.

It’s just to maintain a successful persona of spending money like water!
"Humans are animals! They just want to have strong people to lead them..."

Showing off wealth is the simplest and most brutal traffic password.

It is taken for granted that he shows off his wealth, which in itself is a kind of trust and strength.

He can't be poor! He has to continue to show off his wealth!

We have to continue to use money to buy people's hearts!

"Where can I find the money?"

"The money from Plan C can no longer be used. The Korean film market has been completely heated up by three films that have grossed over 10 million viewers. The films I picked are all good and memorable ones. Several of them are big hits, and I will definitely make a lot of money."

Li Mingyang glanced at the time, opened his laptop and video chatted with Zhang Wei. After a while, Zhang Wei answered the video and was sitting cross-legged on a chair with her chin supported, looking lazy as if she had not woken up yet.

"How's the second wave of borrowing arrows from straw boats going?"

The easiest way to make money is through iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video.

"It was going very smoothly, but ever since your identity as a shareholder of CJ Entertainment was exposed, iQiyi and Penguin are worried about the merger of FBTV and TVing, and have already planned to withdraw," Zhang Wei said calmly.

"Not fighting anymore?" Li Mingyang was stunned and said.

"You should ask Gong Yu about this. IQiyi has not made any moves in Korea in recent months, and its staff are being transferred back to China."

"What about Penguin?"

"Penguin has made big moves, investing madly in Internet companies in Korea, but Penguin Video has not made much progress."

Li Mingyang was speechless. Why did Penguin and iQiyi give in so quickly?
What are you afraid of!

I'm not afraid of you, why should you be afraid of me?
If you guys run away, where can I find a rich man?

"How much money is left in the company's account?"

"If you don't have money, just borrow it. You have a lot of debts anyway." Zhang Wei said indifferently.

"..."

Li Mingyang looked at Zhang Wei who was acting as if it had nothing to do with her and couldn't help but want to give her a beating!
Others can be lazy and slack off, but Zhang Wei can't!
He can’t sail such a big ship by himself!
After chatting for a while, Li Mingyang couldn't stand Zhang Wei's weak and powerless appearance anymore, so he advised her to go to the hospital and turned off the video.

The release date of Seoul Spring has been set, Double 12 ZB, of course I chose Double 12!

There are still about two months left.

The submission and review period is only ten days.

There is plenty of time.

Open the Seoul Spring Special Effects Group, check the group information, and after reading it, confirm the progress.

Li Mingyang spread an A4 paper on the table and analyzed the current situation in South Korea from the perspective of a person with experience.

Because Seoul Spring is the top priority.

Li Mingyang just takes things as they come.

After the filming of Seoul Spring was completed, most of the pressure on him was relieved, and he relaxed his mind and began to study carefully.

As more and more people appear on the paper and the situation becomes more and more complicated, my thinking can no longer be stopped.

After a night of research, Li Mingyang discovered a terrible problem.

"Fuck! Damn it!"

I am very close to Lawyer Wen, and in the long run, there are many benefits!

But from a recent perspective, it is a natural disaster!

CJ and I are in a cooperative relationship. CJ can't be a fence-sitter. He can do it!

Li Mingyang was so scared that his back felt cold. He quickly called Zhang Wei and asked her to find a way to donate money to Miss Park.

"You just remembered to donate to her now...why didn't you do it later?"

"I've been too busy lately and just remembered it." Li Mingyang laughed.

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time before Zhang Wei's cold voice rang out, "I've donated it a long time ago, it's okay, and I hung up."

“Wait, how much did you donate?”

"Five million dollars."

"This price is not bad. Well, you should go to the hospital and don't die in the darkness before dawn."

After saying that, Li Mingyang hung up the phone without waiting for Zhang Wei to curse.

Li Mingyang lit a cigarette and was in a good mood. He no longer cared about Zhang Wei's attitude and forgave her.

I also thought about how much shock my Seoul Spring would bring to South Korea.

I couldn't help but burst out laughing.

……

The next day, the crew of Seoul Spring left the hotel one after another.

Lee Myung-yang was on a bus with Hwang Jung-min, Jung Woo-sung, and Lee Byung-hun.

Along the way, Li Mingyang treated the three men as brothers and brainwashed them, asking them to put in all their energy, make all the efforts, and even burn themselves out if necessary.

Follow him to reach the ceiling of 20 million!
For the first time, Jung Woo-sung and Lee Byung-hun knew that the goal of Seoul Spring was not 10 million visitors, but 20 million visitors.

Because it was so unrealistic, the two of them readily agreed, shouting the crew's characteristic greeting, loyalty!

In fact, I didn't take it seriously at all.

Only Hwang Jung-min wore a hat to cover his bald head, shouted loyalty, and was determined to burn himself out in his heart!

Because he knew better than anyone that Li Mingyang was not joking.

Twenty million people, such a miracle!
Only a movie fanatic like Li Mingyang who doesn't care about money and has the ability can create it!
At around 3:00 p.m., Li Mingyang and his team came to TVN TV station to record programs and shoot promotional materials.

Since the goal is to reach 20 million visitors, we cannot be shy about promoting it.

The host's questions all revolved around the box office miracle of 20 million viewers.

Even when taking celebratory photos, a group photo of 20 million people with the big cake was taken at once.

Both Jung Woo-sung and Lee Byung-hun were stunned by this operation.

"This is really going to reach 20 million visitors!" said Jung Woo-sung.

"Shit, who said it wasn't?" said Lee Byung-hun.

"Is it possible? It's too unreal. This movie will definitely be banned for 15+ movies. There's still hope if it's banned for + movies."

"What's the point of banning movies with a 15-rated ban? Just make a movie if you want to. Only eye-catching movies can be recognized by the audience and have high box office!"

"Brother Li, that's right, that's right... Will there be any problems? We are promoting it so hard, will anything go wrong?"

"You are not as good as Lee Jung-jae in this regard. We are just actors. Why do we care so much? Just do our job!" Lee Byung-hun took out his cell phone and quickly called his trusted and beloved Kim Go-eun, asking her to interact more with Lee Ming-yang and get some words from him.

Li Mingyang can prepare in advance for his next promotion so that Hwang Jung-min won’t steal all the limelight.

Although he didn't have many scenes in Seoul Spring,

But the next part of Seoul Spring is its prequel, The Ministers of Namsan!

You have to work hard!
……

"Director Li, what kind of works do you like to watch?"

"I prefer works about political intrigue. I have seen various versions of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and political intrigue has always been my favorite. New World is a bold attempt, and the results are good, with more than 1200 viewers."

……

"Director Li, is Seoul Spring also a movie similar to New World?"

"Of course it's a political conspiracy movie. I like this genre very much. The subject matter this time is very good. I am very grateful to Ms. Li Meijin for her strong support. Otherwise, this subject matter would not be so easy to shoot."

"It is indeed the first time that the Double Twelve theme has appeared on the big screen... It only took 40 days from the start of filming to the end. Isn't it a bit hasty?"

"Filmmaking is not about how long it takes to start shooting, but how much preparation it takes. Seoul Spring was able to be completed in 350 days, thanks to the joint efforts of more than people in the crew, who also experienced a lot of reshoots, special effects redoing, location coordination, budget overruns and other problems... The budget for Seoul Spring was billion won, which was totally insufficient. I estimate that it would take at least billion won to complete it."

"Why would a realistic film with no explosions cost so much money? This investment is enough to make a war movie with gunfire everywhere."

"The weather was not very good during the filming of Seoul Spring, and I had high requirements for lighting, so I adopted a production method of real scenes + special effects. While ensuring the quality of the film, it did not delay the crew's time. This shooting method is very common in Hollywood."

"You are so eager to make progress. Are you planning to compete in Cannes with Seoul Spring?"

"Seoul Spring is a purely commercial film, not an award-winning film. I have high expectations for its box office success."

"What is Director Li's estimate for the box office?"

"Twenty million people!"

……

On the evening of October 10, TVN released an interview with the creators of Seoul Spring.

The declaration of 20 million people was like a bombshell, shocking the Korean entertainment industry!

And it swept across Asia in a very short time! And swept Hollywood!

Since Haeundae’s attendance exceeded 2009 million in , Korean entertainment has entered a long period of downturn.

This year, South Korea shocked the world film industry with 50 million moviegoers and three consecutive movies that had over 10 million viewers. The attention of countless filmmakers was focused on this small peninsula!

Many people cannot understand what is going on with Korean movies to have three consecutive hits that have grossed over 10 million viewers.

Before that, there were only three Korean movies that grossed over 10 million viewers in five years.

Tens of millions of viewers is considered a huge hit in the Korean film market!
The level of celebrity film history.

Li Mingyang threatened to use Seoul Spring to break 20 million visitors!

This immediately aroused the curiosity of countless people, and everyone was guessing what kind of movie this was.

On the NAVER movie forum, countless Korean netizens were flooding the screen with comments about Seoul Spring.

"With 20 million views, it's possible to reach the national level! But this subject is definitely banned!"

"It's impossible for all the people. The director of Dongda University, who can't find the north after breaking 10 million, has no idea what 20 million people mean! Two-fifths of the country's population!"

"Movie tickets are so expensive... half price! Is it that hard to learn about the good things about Dongda? It only costs 2000 won to watch a Hollywood movie at Dongda!"

"You are nineteen, if you are not nineteen then shut up!"

"Mingyang Oppa, why don't you make more comedies? The 19+ rating is too hard for us. We can't even watch them if we want to!"

"350 billion won... The investment on the day of landing seemed to be billion. Seoul Spring didn't even have a single shot, not even a big scene. This bastard must have put the funds into his own pocket!"

"The bigger the boast, the faster the slap in the face. 350 billion won is really bold! This is not Dongdaemun!"

"The new world is awesome! I can't wait, serve it up quickly!"

"In fact, it's very sincere. The theme of Seoul Spring will definitely win a trophy in Berlin, and it may even win the Golden Bear. It will be released on December 12 this year, so it can't compete for any of the three major awards."

"why?"

“The three major European companies have world premiere requirements, so they will only give the green light unless it’s something really amazing.”

"Is Li Mingyang considered particularly awesome?"

"Definitely not! His box office is great, but the only major award he has is the Best Screenplay Award at Cannes. The rest are just ordinary A-level awards... Why do he need those? Li Mingyang is too lazy to participate and waste his time."

"New World reported Blue Dragon, Daejong, and Baeksang!"

"This year's three major Best Director and Best Picture awards are interesting. This year is the strongest year overall!"

“I think I can also participate in Seoul Spring?”

"According to the grapevine, Seoul Spring is still in the late stages... Qinglong and Daejong are too late, but Baeksang can give it a try."

"I really can't imagine how Seoul Spring needs 350 billion won. Aren't tanks and guns free? It's pure sponsorship!"

"Maybe he was eaten by Quan Douguang!"

"Nonsense, that's his dark history! It's also our dark history! It's not about money."

“Although it feels like a scam, Seoul Spring really has a lot of special effects. My brother was on IV drip while editing the photos…”

"real or fake?"

"Li Mingyang is rich! The crew gave out a big bonus of 1 million won after the filming was completed. The whole crew got a share, as did the extras. Damn it, if you want me, I'll fight for it too!!"

"I heard that the crew of Seoul Spring always kept the mantra of loyalty! Are there any nearby residents who can speak out?"

"They shout more than ten times a day, when the machine is turned on, when it's over, when it's time to eat, and when it's time to finish work. I live nearby, and there's nowhere to complain."

"loyalty!"

"Emperor! Loyalty!"

……

Li Mingyang's speech about the 20 million people who read it during the Seoul Spring was like a bolt from the blue, causing a huge uproar not only in Korea.

There is also explosive news in the country.

The freeloaders are having a blast, raising funds to help their brother boost the box office.

As soon as he turned around, netizens poured cold water on him.

"The rating system in Korea is not for show. Seoul Spring is a 19+ film. If you are under 18 years old, you can't watch it."

"Li Mingyang's fans are so crazy! They use their parents' money to travel overseas to boost the box office for their idol. Do your parents know about this?"

"Li Mingyang has a problem with his character. He went abroad to make banned films. Anyone who likes him has a problem with his brain."

“I suggest banning it, so as not to lead children astray!”

Faced with the verbal attacks from passers-by and netizens, the wool-grabbing party exposed their true colors as wolves and started to quarrel with netizens again!
Although the wool party has amazing fighting power, they have no organization and are a loose group. Just quarreling will not change anything.

Li Mingyang's fans are relatively young and are not the target audience for Seoul Spring. In addition, due to the strict supervision system in Korea, even if the fans go to Korea, they can only stare blankly outside the cinema.

This is just like a minor going to an Internet cafe to surf the Internet.

The penalties are very severe.

As the argument intensified, the Yangmaos realized the reality and felt very sad. They couldn't help their brother, which was more painful than killing them.

Just when the whole network was mocking Yang Mao, Li Mingyang International Fan Club launched a donation campaign to donate to his brother!
The event lasted less than half a day, and the accumulated donations reached an astonishing eight million!
Just when Yang Mao was working hard for it and cheering for it.

Huashu Entertainment issued a statement that Li Mingyang International Fan Club has nothing to do with Li Mingyang. It is just an organization formed spontaneously by fans, and its actions have nothing to do with Li Mingyang.

Li Mingyang has never asked fans to crowdfund to increase the box office, nor has he asked fans to travel overseas. Li Mingyang hopes that fans will pursue their idols rationally and not believe any information from unofficial channels.

Li Mingyang suggested that members of the Li Mingyang International Fan Club return the funds they had raised.

As soon as the announcement was made, the president of Li Mingyang International Fan Club stated on Weibo that the funds raised would be returned to the fans as soon as possible.

Just when everyone thought that this fan crowdfunding event to boost box office sales was over.

That afternoon, Huahua Entertainment and Baidu jointly released Entertainment Bao.

Internet users can invest in popular film and television dramas by investing 100 yuan, and the first batch of investment projects will be available for reservation on the Yulebao platform on the same day.

Many curious netizens clicked on Yulebao, and the most eye-catching thing was Plan C on Li Mingyang’s poster.

Thirty films were involved.

Of the thirty films, twenty-nine had unknown directors and actors, but the returns were astonishing.

The most attractive one is the One Punch Man online movie!
As a breakthrough online movie, One Punch Man is extremely well-known.

Risks and benefits coexist.

The expected annualized return of One Punch Man is only 4.5%, which is much lower than the other 8, 9, 10...

Baidu said that as the first partner of the Yulebao platform, Guohua Life Insurance will provide professional insurance and financial products.

After netizens purchase Guohua Life Insurance’s insurance and financial products through the Yulebao platform, the funds will be invested in the cultural industry in a legal and compliant manner to obtain investment returns.

The concept of crowdfunding has been extended to the film industry.

This move not only shocked the domestic entertainment industry, but also shocked countless large factories and financial companies!

Can movies still be played like this?
Not long after Yulebao came out, many big Vs appeared on Weibo, questioning whether Yulebao was suspected of illegal fundraising.

In particular, the total investment in the One Punch Man online project is as high as 500 million!
The production company is Huahua Entertainment, the producers are Gong Yu, Wang Changtian, Zhao Yifang, and Wu Zhikui, the director is Wu Zhikui, and the screenwriter is Wu Zhikui.

You are the referee and you are the athlete.

This is illegal fundraising that covers the sky with one hand!
