Chapter 554 The sea is wide enough for fish to leap, and the sky is high enough for birds to fly!
Shoplifters involves national history and social background, which is a plus. It is an art film with a critical social nature.

Art films about daily life are about people, but they are actually reflecting society.

So does the Joker!

It’s easier to be Miss, mainly because I want to take pictures, and Miss was once shortlisted for the main competition unit of Cannes.

Oh, by the way, there is also Captain Jia’s destiny!
This movie doesn’t seem to have come out.

The two big guys from China and South Korea looked at each other with a smile, as if they were determined not to end the matter if they didn’t give an explanation today.

Li Mingyang thought about it and gradually became more determined…

“Miss! I want to use Miss to win the prize!”

Li Meijin and Zuoshandiao looked at each other. Instead of being disappointed, they felt even happier.

“That’s the belief we need. Although we can provide help, how you accomplish it in the end still depends on you!”

“Persistence! You need persistence to win awards. You can’t do it without persistence! Just like the Academy Awards, you worry about this and that, thinking about making money and cheating others. You think too much and end up accomplishing nothing.”

Zuo Shandiao became more and more excited as he spoke, and lit a cigarette. “Filmmakers should use movies to speak. This is mine, and it belongs to me. Even the God of Heaven can’t stop me!”

Li Mingyang secretly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

These two old foxes are deceiving him.

If he is not firm, he may suddenly change his mind and choose another movie.

I guess these two old foxes won’t be so dedicated in helping him win the Palme d’Or.

Is the Palme d’Or difficult?

Second only to the Oscars!
The first of the three largest in Europe, with the highest gold content! A world-class art palace recognized worldwide!
One Palme d’Or would cost two people half their lifetime of favors!
Even this may not be obtained!

You fight with all your strength, while others may fight with their lives!
Once you are shortlisted for the Palme d’Or, an internationally recognized top award, it is no exaggeration to say that the whole country will strive for it.

……

“Art has no borders is a piece of shit, but you can’t say it, just know it in your heart.” Zuo Shandiao looked at the nearby coastline and sighed, “Li Meijin is more powerful than you think. She hardly appears in public. She is the queen behind Korean movies. You should be careful in the future.”

“I feel okay. She’s OK with me.”

“That’s because you are so outstanding.”

“I always thought that there was something wrong with me being excellent.” Li Mingyang said in a neither positive nor negative tone.

Zuo Shandiao lit a cigarette, held onto the balcony railing, and said, “You should have continued to compete for the Academy Award. I was just the apparent operator. No matter if it was you or Jiang Wen, whoever won the Best Director award would be a happy situation for everyone.”

“Does it have a big impact on you?”

“Many things will not appear immediately, but they will definitely appear, and by then I may have retired.”

“Third Master is still strong and healthy. How can he retire? He can still make progress.” Li Mingyang said hypocritically.

“You little fox, you’re the only one waiting for me to step down!” Zuoshandiao laughed angrily and cursed at Li Mingyang.

“I am where I am today thanks to President Han. I am still waiting for you to take a further step.” Li Mingyang said shamelessly.

“You’d better think this way in your heart, otherwise it will be difficult for you to come back in the future. It’s easy to go up the mountain but difficult to go down, and it’s easy to go out but difficult to come back.” said Zuo Shandiao.

It sounds nice, but it was you who stopped me from going back.

The Tokyo film market is a potential market that Hollywood has long coveted, but it has also been firmly controlled by the state-owned China Film Group.

China Film Group limits the import of foreign blockbusters to 20 each year, but this situation has changed since the boss’s visit to the United States in February.

The new Sino-US film policy decides to introduce 14 more IMAX or 3D films each year on top of the original quota.

In addition to DreamWorks’ plans to set up a studio in Shanghai, Disney announced last month that “Iron Man 3” will be jointly produced by Disney, Marvel Studios and China’s DMG Entertainment.

When Zuo Shandiao went to Los Angeles in March, he was received with protocol by the most influential figures in the Eastern film industry.

It was widely reported at the time that Han Sanping met with the presidents of Sony, Universal and Disney, and spoke with Bruce Willis, who starred in DMG’s new film “Looper”.

Accompanying Han Sanping was DMG’s CEO Dan Mitz.

Dan Mitz is known as a “relationship expert” who knows how to use relationships in China and leverage them to resolve obstacles.

In April, Marvel announced that Dan Mitz and DMG would join the production of Iron Man 3, which would be distributed by Disney.

All the world knows is that LeTV collapsed in 17 and Boss Jia ran away.

Wanda hit a wall and began to sell off its assets in a “cutting off limbs to survive” manner.

In fact, DMG also went bankrupt at that time and the boss ran away.

As for why there are only LeTV and Wanda.

No DMG, that’s a shame.

The Shadow Lover shot by Tiantian was invested by DMG.

Although he is now free to return to China and has received excessive subsidies from the government for Huahua Entertainment, he has been personally isolated from the film industry.

The cultural strategy is there.

Now is a critical period for Todai to become the prosperous and strong Todai in the future.

To be honest, Ao Guanhai really gave the most precious eight years to the University of Tokyo.

Dongda rose in 08…

Li Mingyang felt his pockets for cigarettes and found none. He asked Zuo Shandiao for one, lit it up and took a deep breath. “How about I go back next year?”

Zuoshandiao retired in 14, but… I don’t know when the person behind you fell!
To be on the safe side, it’s better to go back early… otherwise you will be locked out by those bastards.

“Now you know you’re afraid?”

“I really want to go back. Just because it’s difficult doesn’t mean I can’t go back.”

“Indeed, you have the ability to disrupt things. When the time comes, you will be allowed to return, but it has been a bit difficult in recent years.”

“How many years? No way! You asked me to go to Hollywood for only two years?”

“Then you go!”

“…”

“It’s meaningless to talk about this now. You should just aim for the Palme d’Or. This one will be your biggest talisman in the future.”

“It’s okay to help hold the stick?”

Zuo Shandiao hesitated for a while, “There are problems, but time will wash away all the problems, leaving only the result, that is, you will win the world-renowned Palme d’Or, and become the second person in China!”

“I heard someone say that going for the award in a roundabout way is not pure enough…”

“Purity? How old are you? You’re already thinking about purity. That’s not what you should be thinking about. What you want is achievement… Your biggest problem is that you have too many ideas and are not focused enough. You were quite focused on your first movie in Korea, but I heard that you barely stayed on the set for a few days for your second movie. Your mind was completely on FBTV.”

“The second one is easier.”

“I don’t care whether you are simple or not, miss, you must give me your all and not be distracted by other things.” Zuoshandiao said domineeringly.

Li Mingyang hummed, but was thinking in his heart.

What would he get if Zuoshandiao helped him win the Palme d’Or?

Palme d’Or, can it delay his resignation?

The power of the mountain eagle is too great…

The Internet and finance have been introduced into the Dongda Film Market. Zuoshandiao, who holds the privilege of importing films, can schedule the release dates of imported films at will. He can really attack anyone he wants.

And the stock price is anchored on the box office…this influence is even more terrifying than before!
……

The strong teams in the East China University of Political Science and Law are fighting each other, gold is everywhere, and China Film Group is sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai.

Li Mingyang watched the fire from the other side of the river. Although he was not burned, he missed many opportunities.

In the past, I was too weak and had no chance to fight. Now that I have the strength, I am being suppressed.

That’s right!

Jumping out of the big dye vat of the country and staying out of it, Li Mingyang clearly felt that he was being held down by an invisible hand.

Being foresighted lets him know that he is particularly good at seeking good fortune and avoiding harm, which is a good thing, but also a bad thing.

Apart from the Light, he has no deep ties with any interest group.

And because of him, in order to win the Academy Awards last year, Wang Changtian used his connections to cheat the Hong Kong circle out of a large sum of final payment, and now Guangguang is embroiled in a financial dispute with the Hong Kong circle.

As many as thirty economic lawsuits have caused the share price of Guangxian to continue to be sluggish and fall all the way.

The one holding him and the light down was none other than the mountain eagle.

The most domineering thing about Zuoshandiao is that he can suppress all voices and make the Dongda film circle have only one voice, and his word makes the final decision!
Capital is profit-seeking and money-obsessed. Everyone has his or her own evil thoughts. It is very easy to use intimidation and inducement, intensify conflicts, sow discord, and defeat them one by one.

But as long as Zuoshandiao is there, he has the final say over Dongda Film, and Dongda Film is a solid entity.

An unsolvable monster.

He can sacrifice anyone, including himself.

In order to stabilize his hegemony, he can compromise with Wanda in exchange for a joint venture and completely control the film schedule.

In his eyes, there is only the overall situation, not individuals.

If you want to become famous and make a fortune in the Dongda Film Market, even if you are a dragon in the sky, you have to lie down!

Once again, we are in the torrent of the traffic era.

This time, Li Mingyang stood higher, saw farther, and felt more deeply.

He hated the man in front of him, but also felt sad for him.

The loneliness of an era, the wheels roll forward and will not stop for anyone, but history will eventually leave his name.

The Godfather of Dongda Film—Han Sanping!

what about me?
Li Mingyang looked into the distance at the dark, vast sea.

Several beams of light streaked across the sea.

The confusion in Li Mingyang’s eyes gradually disappeared, replaced by endless ambition!

There is only one Dongda Mountain Eagle.

It is impossible for him to become the new Zuoshandiao, and no one else can.

Wide sea diving, sky high the birds to fly!
He is going to complete his streaming media dominance!
Use the streaming media market to achieve a life without regrets!
Netflix can penetrate Hollywood, defeat Disney, and become a super giant that dominates the global film and television industry. Why can’t I do it!

……

Early next morning.

After Li Mingyang and Yang Mi finished their morning exercises, they set off back to Bangzi with Li Meijin.

The other members of the New World crew left in batches two days ago after attending the celebration party in Cannes.

Li Mingyang did not leave, mainly because Zuoshandiao wanted to finalize the Sino-Korean co-production in Cannes.

After returning to Korea, Li Mingyang wanted to make Goodbye, so he left Yang Mi to Zhang Wei and devoted himself to the studio, ignoring everything else and focusing on making Goodbye first.

The evening of April 6.

Goodbye My Soulmate has finally completed all the post-production work.

“Cao! Finally done!”

Li Mingyang was very satisfied after watching the finished film. He slapped his thigh and stood up. He called Li Xiucheng and asked him to come and take the post-production staff to have dinner at Shilla Hotel. Happy!

He borrowed an electric car from a staff member and sneaked to Bongeunsa Temple in Gangnam District, Seoul.

I found the kind-looking Master Jin Zhi and communicated with him using the translation software on my mobile phone. My words were concise and to the point, and for 6 million won, the release date for “See You Again” was set for June 15th.

The other party ignored him at first, but when he was about to leave, he stopped him.

Li Mingyang didn’t understand a word of the nonsense he said, so he left anyway.

Then the master finally got anxious and called an apprentice to act as an interpreter.

Female apprentice???
From the female disciple’s mouth, Li Mingyang finally understood what the master meant.

The master agreed, but he couldn’t accept the money. How could a monk accept money?

However, considering his kindness, you can go to the main hall to burn incense and pray for blessings.

This is selling incense!

Wow, five million won for five incense sticks and one interpretation of the fortune.

The person who interpreted the fortune was the abbot, who said that golden lotuses would emerge from the ground and the sky would be full of flowers.

To sum up, his career will prosper.

Although it felt quite fake, he spoke very clearly and for more than half an hour.

Very dedicated…

After settling the schedule, Li Mingyang called Li Meijin and made an appointment to watch the finished film at CJ Entertainment headquarters at nine o’clock tomorrow morning.

Li Mei Jin is quite superstitious.

After watching Goodbye My Soul Mate, Li Mei Jin was very satisfied and couldn’t stop laughing. When talking about the release date, she said that she would go to the temple early the next morning to pray for a release date.

Li Mingyang didn’t give her any time to make arrangements. He pulled her into the car and went to Feng’en Temple to calculate the schedule.

So pious!

After washing my hands and burning incense, I went to the main hall to worship for more than an hour, then chatted with Master Jin Zhi for more than ten minutes, and then went to the back hall to “enjoy” vegetarian food.

It took more than four hours of procrastination, but in the end, “See You Tomorrow” was scheduled to be released on June 6th.

There are only 11 days left until the movie is released, so publicity and promotion matters have to be arranged.

As the boss of the film industry and the one that controls the media, CJ’s biggest advantage is that it basically doesn’t have to worry about promotion and marketing.

No matter how busy you are, even if you are abroad, you have to return to your country and accept arrangements.

Yoona and Seohyun are busy with their daily lives, going to the TV station to record programs during the day and returning to Korea at night.

As for Girls’ Generation’s group schedule, it was abruptly interrupted and SM didn’t dare to say a word.

At 8:30 in the evening, Li Mingyang brought the five main actors, Lim Yoona, Seohyun, Kim Ji-won, Kim Go-eun, and Lee Kwang-soo to attend the press conference of “Goodbye, My Soulmate”.

At the press conference, Han Mei’s focus was on Li Mingyang, not asking him about what he gained from his trip to Cannes.

I was just asking when New World would be released, what the expected box office would be, and what they thought of Choi Min-sik, Lee Jung-jae, and Hwang Jung-min…

The Goodbye press conference turned into his personal stage, the New World press conference.

This made the four girls on the stage very embarrassed and they became invisible.

Lee Kwang Soo kept grinning foolishly and was asked several questions by reporters, revealing more than the four girls.

Li Mingyang is not optimistic about the box office performance of “Goodbye, My Soul Mate” in South Korea. This movie is mainly aimed at the Tokyo film market.

What he cares about most is his first movie in Korea, New World!
The three driving forces are box office, word of mouth, and awards. We already have the awards, and the word of mouth will not be bad either. It just depends on how high the box office can reach!
So he was very forthcoming about the problems of the New World, and acted as if he didn’t care about the life or death of “Goodbye”, which made the four girls on the stage speechless…

When the press conference was about to end, Lee Jung-jae and Hwang Jung-min suddenly came.

Now, the four girls and Lee Kwang-soo didn’t even have the chance to take a group photo.

In front of the goodbye promotional posters and banners are Lee Myung-yang, Lee Jung-jae, and Hwang Jung-min, which has nothing to do with them.

“Oppa, why is this happening… This is our movie press conference.” Seohyun muttered in a low voice in a corner where no one was paying attention.

“The New World is the main course, and Goodbye is just a side dish,” said Kim Go-eun.

“My heart aches so much. No one cared about my first movie…” Lin Yoona felt so wronged that she wanted to cry.

“It’s finally over.” Kim Ji-won said with her eyes lighting up.

The four girls all became excited at the same time. At this time, they were either having a meeting or having a dinner together.

Finally, we have a chance to communicate.

Soon, the four girls were speechless.

Lee Myung-yang, Lee Jung-jae and Hwang Jung-min left, and the CJ staff surrounded the three and also left.

The four of them were left alone, abandoned like this!
“Oh… I’m here, don’t leave me!” Lee Kwang-soo hurried over, but was blocked by reporters outside and couldn’t get through.

Seeing this, the four girls had no choice but to go to the lounge and wait for further arrangements.

After waiting for a long time, Lee Kwang-soo finally showed up. When asked, Lee Mingyang found out that he was having dinner with CJ executives on the top floor.

Really abandoned.

“What are we doing now?” Xu Xian asked.

“Can we go back?”

“Definitely not!”

“Ever since Mingyang Oppa won the Cannes Award, he doesn’t care about us anymore…”

Lee Kwang Soo looked at the four helpless girls and laughed heartlessly, which soon earned him the four girls’ contempt. He could only awkwardly take out his cell phone to play.

It was past eleven o’clock in the evening. The four girls were so bored that they almost fell asleep. Suddenly, the door was pushed open. The CJ staff asked them to go to the top floor for an audition.

The four girls were confused, but still obeyed and followed the staff.

Lee Kwang-soo caught up with the staff and pointed at himself and said, “What about me? What about me? Is there no me?”

“Oh, you can go back now. You will be recording a show at TVN tomorrow. Come early.”

Lee Kwang Soo nodded and watched everyone leave.

“The audition was at a hotel, and there were only women… Could it be that?” Lee Kwang-soo thought for a moment, took out his cell phone and called Li Mingyang.

If this was Li Mingyang’s audition, the four girls would be so happy that they burst into laughter.

It would be terrible if I was auditioned by a chaebol…

He felt it would be better to report it.

Li Mingyang, who had left the hotel long ago and was on his way home, answered Lee Kwang Soo’s call.
