I'm almost a Muggle

"Not long ago, someone spent 180 million on "Northern Peace", was it you?" Wang Huasen asked.

"1.5, and there are another 30 million invested by Mr. Ke and others."

Lin Dong corrected him seriously. Fortunately, he did not invest 180 million, otherwise he would have made more.

"I just don't understand. You spent 150 million yuan on the front foot, and then immediately launched a 380 million yuan project on the back foot. Don't you know the risks involved?"

Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers.

Although Zhongyou Media has a market value of tens of billions, he really doesn't dare to act so recklessly.

After all, Zhongyou Media’s annual net profit is only 7.8 billion.

Wang Huasen had someone investigate Lin Dong.

The result was nothing.

It seems that some people don't want them to investigate. The investigators encountered many obstacles and finally had no choice but to let it go.

"Brother Sen, if you are really reluctant to let go, then I can only say sorry." Lin Dong was too lazy to continue to pester him. He simply did not have the eloquence to convince these business leaders.

Wang Huasen was immediately discouraged.

"It's not that I'm reluctant to let go, I'm just reluctant to give up this opportunity for us to cooperate for the third time." Wang Huasen said in an affectionate manner.

The reason why we talk about three collaborations is because both parties participated in the two films "1942" and "Journey to the West".

"..."

Damn, it’s so disgusting.

"Do you think this will work? I'll kick out all the other companies and give you a share of 300 million."

Originally, Wang Huasen had planned to completely let go of this project.

But Lin Dong's persistence made him doubt whether this life project would make a lot of money.

Lin Dong thought for a while and nodded in agreement.

Anyway, with so many projects at the venue today, it shouldn’t be difficult to vote for the remaining 50 million.

“A pleasure to work with.”

The two stood up and shook hands.

"As for the contract, our Director of Commercial Affairs Shi Shanshan will come forward later."

"Haha, I understand. I wish Mr. Lin a happy time."

Lin Dong explained the situation to Shi Shanshan, and Shi Shanshan almost fell down at the venue.

Three hundred million!

boss.

You want me to die early!

Still want me to go bald early!

She never imagined that she would be able to reach this point in her life.

You just got a big project worth 150 million a few days ago, and today you doubled it.

Do you plan to double it again in a few days?

Moreover, this project seems to be losing money.

An animated film shot by someone from Hollywood, it tells the story of a husky who has lived in a snowy mountain village since he was a child. After being exposed to rock music by chance, he decided to go to the big city to pursue his rock and roll dream.

Lin Dong's response to her was simple.

I like watching cartoons.

I am an emotional baby.

What else can Shi Shanshan say? If you have money, you are the boss.

This is not like some listed companies, where the general meeting of shareholders has the power to deny the boss's resolution or even fire the boss.

Thus, the biggest project of this film festival was born.

Three hundred million!

With a sad face, Shi Shanshan completed the contract with the people from Zhongyou Media, completely exposing herself to the flash of the spotlight.

Crest Culture Media has also successfully refreshed everyone's understanding.

Zhou Dongyao, who had already stepped into the company's doorstep, read the news on Weibo and happily did somersaults on her dormitory bed.

She doesn't understand the prospects of this project.

But she at least understands how awesome this company is to be able to invest 300 million in an animated film.

Lin Dong did not attend the signing ceremony.

He does not want to expose himself to the media, at least not as a capitalist.

I want a private visit incognito!

When the matter is over, he brushes off his clothes and goes away, hiding his merit and fame.

I still have 50 million on hand.

I could just find a project and throw it away and be done with it.

Settlement will be made when the money is spent.

However, Lin Dong still remembers the harm Xu Lang brought to him from "It's Not Easy", so he needs to carefully screen.

He wandered around for a long time and came into contact with several projects.

Everyone thinks they can make a steady profit without losing money.

I don't dare to invest at all.

"Over there...that's Director Xu Guai." Shi Shanshan pointed in a direction.

She put on a pair of sunglasses.

It looks very much like a certain director named Wang.

There was no way, she had just signed a big contract, and those dreamers who were clutching the project were like perverts seeing a peerless beauty when they saw her.

"Xu Wei, oh!" Lin Dong suddenly became energetic: "Is it the director of Xu Wei from The Swordsman?"

"yes."

"Let's go up and have a chat."

"His movies are a bit outdated, and none of them are very profitable..."

Shi Shanshan quickly gave her boss some advance knowledge.

"Seven Weapons" costs 140 million and has a box office of 90 million.

Lose money as a dog!

Although "Dragon Gate" had a box office of 556 million, its production cost exceeded 200 million, and Li Feihong's salary alone was 90 million.

Barely preserving capital!

Although "Master Di" has a box office of 300 million, the production and promotion cost 130 million.

It's hard to say how much more money can be made.

The most expensive thing about Xu Guai's movie is the cast, and the other is the special effects.

It’s better not to make money!

What I want is not to make money.

It's best if you can lose, but if you can't lose, don't make any profit.

Lin Dong joined in enthusiastically. He liked Xu Guai's martial arts movies very much.

If Xu Guai wants to make another drama similar to "The Swordsman", even if he brings money to join the cast, he will want to play the top martial arts master.

You can also play the role of a eunuch!

It's a pity that the project that Xu Guai will bring about this time is a movie called "The Wisdom of Marrying a Mountain Eagle".

What is the mountain eagle for?

Is it a girl?

Otherwise, why would you marry her?

Fortunately, he has a system.

After asking some questions, I realized that I had heard wrongly.

It's "Outsmarting a Mountain Eagle", not "Wisely Marrying a Mountain Eagle". Just one word difference changes it from a war movie to a romance movie.

"Nice to meet you."

Xu Guai shook hands with Lin Dong. Although he didn't know who Lin Dong was, but he was following a rich man, so he had to be polite.

Vote for him, vote for him!

As soon as he heard that there was still a shortfall of 50 million, Lin Dong felt that this was a fateful encounter.

Fate!

In this way, all the funds in the system account were spent.

hurry up.

While the box office of Du Qixi's movie has not yet settled.

Settlement quickly!

The two settle together.

【Settlement in progress...】

[Project 1: The movie "Rock Husky" had a production cost of 380 million and a total box office of 39.55 million. According to the investment ratio, you lost a total of 289.08 million. Congratulations on your successful loss]

[Project 2: The movie "Outsmarting the Mountain Sculpture" has a production cost of 200 million yuan and a total box office of 880 million yuan. According to the investment ratio, you will recover the investment cost of 50 million yuan and obtain an after-tax profit of 27 million yuan. Unfortunately...]

[Since what is consumed is not the system’s initial capital, no Galleons will be settled]

[Settlement is over, the starting amount of the next round is 4 million, and the current funds in your system account are 91.92 million yuan (excluding another 30 million variety show budget in the company account)]

call!

Lin Dong let out a long sigh of relief.

Although "Outsmart the Mountain Eagle" still made money, "Rock Husky" lost money really comfortably.

Throw out 300 million, and only a little over 10 million will be left.

Cartoons are such a big mess.

I’d better pay more attention to it if I have the opportunity in the future.

It's a pity that such opportunities are too rare. Compared with nearly a thousand other types of movies every year, there are only twenty or thirty animated movies.

There were five or six animated film projects throughout the festival.

Projects other than "Rock Huskies", not to mention Lin Dong's disdain, the system is not willing to take money from outsiders.

That's not called feelings, that's called cheating money.

However, after contacting people in the industry, Lin Dong also found out about a series of works.

"The King of Lingshan".

The first part of "The King of Lingshan" was released last year. The production cost plus publicity and distribution cost 55 million, and the box office was only 3.05 million.

Although Douya scored 7.9 in the first film, it was almost 8 points. Unfortunately, the ratio of input to output was too exaggerated.

No employer is willing to lend a hand.

So much so that people were so desperate that they stopped coming to the film festival.

Now Green Apple Animation, the production and distribution company of "The King of Lingshan", is crowdfunding online to find money to continue producing the second part. It is estimated that there is still a gap of at least 20 to 30 million.

Lin Dong asked someone to get in touch with this company. He had 90 million in capital, of which 4 million was the starting capital.

The starting capital can be considered the "real money" of the system.

Only by losing real money can you earn Galleons.

If this "Lingshan King 2" is really so unreliable, Lin Dong decided to choose it as a tool to earn Galleons.

After the film festival ended, it was already the end of April 2012.

He packed up and took Tian Dazhuang to Jinling City.

The movie "Massage" was filmed in a massage center.

The production team booked the show, so the business was naturally unable to continue operating.

However, there are many similar massage centers in this area.

Lin Dong found a family nearby and slept in their dormitory at night.

Observe and experience while filming.

With 20,000 yuan on the table, all his actions were allowed.

Not only did he observe the work of the blind people throughout the whole process, but he also watched the lives of the blind people.

Huang Sanshi's words touched him very much.

Since he wanted to do something, he decided to do the best, even if it was just a short-term means of making a living before going home.

Time passed like this day by day.

Lin Dong also learned massage techniques from a massage center.

He would blindfold himself and imitate a blind man to serve customers.

Although he made a lot of jokes along the way and touched places he shouldn't have touched, after more than a week, even the customers thought he was really blind.

This kind of investment greatly admires the actors and staff of the crew.

Lin Dong joined the group last.

She is a close relative of the director, and she is a close friend of the director. Whenever the director has something to do, he will run over to show his attentiveness.

A proper studio boss.

Everyone thought he would be the shortcoming of this drama.

I didn’t expect that he worked harder than anyone else.

"Hey, Dongzi, why are you calling me? I'm busy." Du Qixi was filming. He couldn't get through this scene and was so upset that if he hadn't seen Lin Dong displayed on the screen of his phone, he would have hung up immediately.

.

"Ahem, Brother Qixi, come here for a moment."

Lin Dong seemed very unnatural.

"Where are you?" Aren't everyone around here? You asked me to go anywhere, and you didn't even mention a place.

"Police station."
