I'm almost a Muggle

"Your company?" Liu Benqi just sat down and still didn't know which company Lin Dong belonged to.

He even thought that Lin Dong was brought in by Wu Tie.

"The company he signed with is Crest Culture Media. You should know this, right?" Wu Tie helped introduce.

"This knowledge is like thunder."

With an investment of 300 million, ordinary people may have no idea about an animated film.

But in the eyes of insiders, Shi Shanshan and Crest Culture Media are more famous than A-list celebrities.

Three hundred million.

Give me a tenth, and I can make a masterpiece that will be handed down for generations, and with the remaining money, I can buy a house in the Fifth Ring Road of the capital.

"The boss of our company is over there. Do you see him? I'll take you to get to know him."

Lin Dong wiped his mouth and glanced at the plate of pork knuckles reluctantly.

The elbows here are especially delicious, with bright color, glutinous skin and tender meat, and they are stewed and flavorful. After being cut and dipped in some sauce, they taste delicious and not greasy at all.

Zhongyou Media chose a large banquet hall for the reception this time. There were more than twenty tables on one side, filled with good wine and delicious food.

It's a pity that no one sat down to eat properly.

There is coffee and wine in the other half for people to walk around and chat.

Everywhere you look, there are hunters and prey.

Shi Shanshan thought she was very tall and might be a hunter.

She soon discovered she was wrong.

Hunters and prey have nothing to do with status or money.

If others see you as prey, you are the prey.

A bunch of people came to talk to her about cooperation with projects, and there were even celebrities and artists calling her "Sister Shan".

It made her brain hurt and she could no longer hold her hair.

The key is that she can't make the decision.

Add money!

Must add money!

I feel like my salary needs to go up.

Shi Shanshan looked at Lin Dong eating at the dinner table with resentment and his mouth was full of oil.

You are a pig!

But compared to other bosses who are greedy, lustful and stingy, pigs are quite cute.

Lin Dong saw Shi Shanshan looking right here, so he took out his cell phone and shook it.

Shi Shanshan checked her phone.

Lin Dong sent him a message.

Let her come forward to vote for Liu Benqi's TV series.

Liu Benqi?

This is a movie king.

Shi Shanshan is much more professional than Lin Dongke. Since entering this industry, she has memorized various knowledge points very quickly.

However, this actor not only has the distinction between being popular and a has-been, but also has a distinction between business and literature. This Liu Benqi is both a has-been and a literary actor. In other words, he is a has-been literary actor.

Audience tastes in film and television dramas have changed greatly in recent years.

There are fewer and fewer traditional film and television drama projects.

Most of the projects that are gradually becoming popular use traffic stars.

Some big names in the industry even clamored: As long as there is traffic and special effects, people will watch whatever you shoot.

Actors of the older generation are forced to either have no scenes to film, or to play supporting roles on the set, or to act whether you like it or not, and if you don't act, there are a lot of people waiting for you to act.

Shi Shanshan knew that Lin Dong was stupid again.

I feel helpless but also admired.

As a businessman, Lin Dong's behavior of not pursuing profits fully demonstrates his noble character.

It is precisely because of Lin Dong’s shining point of humanity.

The employees of Jean Crest Culture Media are fortunate to have met such a humane boss, which is why they work so hard for the company.

Lin Dong took Liu Benqi to Shi Shanshan's side, and Wu Tie also joined in the fun.

"Teacher Liu, Teacher Wu, you are here too. I haven't seen you yet. I thought you weren't here." Shi Shanshan left behind a bunch of big directors and bosses and took the initiative to greet the two second- and third-tier veteran artists.

"Hello, Teacher Shi."

"Just call me Xiaoshan, let's go over there and sit and chat for a while," Shi Shanshan apologized to the others and said sorry, then followed Lin Dong, who was leading the way, back to the dining area.

Lin Dong would occasionally interject when others were chatting, but most of the time he was still eating.

Liu Benqi was not sure why Shi Shanshan was polite to them.

I felt like I was quite happy chatting.

So he took out his script.

After turning a few pages, Shi Shanshan was sure that this TV series would be difficult to become popular.

However, it is not a losing deal after all.

This kind of short-lived TV series can't make much money, but it can't lose money either.

You can even show it to the TV station first, wait for the TV station to give the nod, and then shoot it here.

Satellite TV...that's impossible.

I can only find a small place.

"Tinmen Literature and Art Channel intends to buy the rights for the first round of broadcasting and barely recoup the cost. It can only hope to make some money from the second round of broadcasting." Liu Benqi is an honest person and does not hide anything.

This is probably why he couldn't find the money.

The money in the hands of capital is an old hen that can make money. It doesn't matter if you go out for a walk without losing money or making a profit.

Time cost is also a cost.

"How much investment is required?" Shi Shanshan glanced at Boss Lin who was still eating and asked proactively.

"Our budget is 450,000 yuan per episode, including the actors' remuneration." Liu Benqi took out another notebook from his bag and showed Shi Shanshan the budget form.

The forms made by honest people are also very detailed.

Each item is listed.

"How many episodes are there in total?" Shi Shanshan asked.

"Episode 32." Liu Benqi breathed a sigh of relief. They didn't think he was expensive.

"That's fifteen million, is it enough?" Shi Shanshan just went through the motions. Boss Lin said he would invest, so what could she say?

"enough."

"This is my business card. You can find me after the reception."

It's that simple?

She is worthy of being Queen Shan who gave away 300 million yuan.

Liu Benqi also didn't expect that he would find the money so easily.

He has traveled to many places.

This industry is very cruel. A fat man can survive. A lot of people are grabbing good projects, but no one is willing to take a look at a bad project like his.

Even if a single episode is cheap, it's only 450,000 including the actors' salary, but it can't support the number of episodes.

Fifteen million is enough for the studio to make a medium-budget movie.

"Sister Shan, isn't our company looking for artists recently?" Lin Dong wiped his mouth, he was finally full.

It was originally a table for eight people.

Wu Tie and Liu Benqi didn't eat much, and Lin Dong ate almost everything by himself.

made money!

"Is there any?" Shi Shanshan didn't know why.

"Yes!" Lin Dong was sure.

"Oh, yes, look at my memory. I just asked everyone to pay attention to the new artist last week." Smart employees must know how to cooperate with the boss.

If you embarrass your boss, your boss will embarrass your wallet.

"Both teachers don't have an agency yet, right?"

"The Galaxy Entertainment Agency I signed with in 2003 expired early last year and was not renewed." Wu Tie shook his head.

After staying in a company for eight years, it would be a lie to say that I have no feelings, but in the end I still couldn't continue. The reasons are very complicated and cannot be summarized in a simple sentence or two.

If Lin Dong hadn't asked this question, Wu Tie would have joined the Ziwei Star Entertainment Agency established by an old friend in 2015.

For four or five years, he didn't have an agency.

"My working relationship is still with the Experimental Theater, and I don't have an agency." Liu Benqi was even more confused.

He has never joined a brokerage firm.

It's not like no agency has contacted him. After all, he is an actor, and he has a reputation even if he displays it at home.

But they have too many restrictions.

Liu Benqi is very picky about scripts and cannot stand that kind of restriction.

"Since you don't have any, why not join our company." Shi Shanshan immediately understood what Boss Lin meant and extended an invitation to the two veteran actors.
