I'm almost a Muggle

Lin Dong put the things he brought back to the office, played with the kitten sleeping on his desk, and then washed his hands before going to the Yingyuan to meet the guests.

There is a projector installed in the Yingyuan, and someone is watching a movie on the projector at this time.

He had a bald head, a very artistic beard, and was wearing a neat suit. He looked seriously, and he didn't even notice Lin Dong pushing the door open and walking in.

Playing on the screen is Du Qixi's new path.

It's different from the final cut version shown in movie theaters.

The one he played should be the uncut initial version, which best reveals the director's entire filming process.

Lin Dong sat on the sofa, and then his bald head was shocked to realize that someone had come in.

"I'm Lin Dong. Are you the person in charge of Green Apple Animation?" Lin Dong took the initiative to introduce himself.

The bald man also hurriedly stood up and shook hands with Lin Dong: "I am Wang Zhou, the director of Lingshan King and the person in charge of Green Apple Animation."

"Long respected name!"

I regret meeting you too late, I missed your first time, oh no, it was the first one, I regret it so much.

"How dare you, how dare you, Mr. Lin just came back from Shanghai?"

Could this Lin Dong be Mr. Lin who can call the shots?

The cartoon director is also a director, and since Wang Zhou is a member of the circle, he can certainly recognize that Lin Dong is an actor.

"Yes, I got off the plane last night."

"Oh yes, Shanghai International Film Festival, I thought you didn't want to see me."

Wang Zhou smiled bitterly, he had misunderstood.

In the past, I ran into too many obstacles and encountered too many situations that the management just talked about and avoided.

Krest Culture Media was his last life-saving straw.

He was shamelessly guarding the door of the company.

He knows this is annoying.

But there's nothing you can do about it.

With so many fans crowdfunding, if they fail to make it in the end, how many people will be disappointed.

Some people spend a lot of money to make bad movies with a 2.0 rating, and still have the nerve to beep everywhere.

They are different, they must be responsible to their fans.

A lot of the money they have is raised bit by bit by fans.

There may be fans' breakfast money in it.

There may be lucky money from fans.

Some may even be the so-called teaching material fees that fans defrauded parents from.

You have to do it even if you risk your life!

Don't be so shameless as to wait for someone at your door every day, and they invite him in and serve him tea and snacks.

Even if I ask him to wait at the door, he will come and check in every day.

"Have you brought the project book?" Lin Dong stretched out his hand.

Wang Zhou quickly handed it over.

The project document is very detailed and professional, and Lin Dong can understand most of it.

But he can at least see sincerity in it.

"How much funding is left?" Lin Dong closed the project book and put it on the small coffee table.

"We raised part of it ourselves, and fans raised part of it. Currently, there is still a shortfall of more than 20 million."

Wang Zhou didn't know how much Krest Culture Media could give.

A few days ago, this company invested 300 million in an animated film, which gave him hope.

It's just that he has been rejected too many times, so he doesn't dare to speak out.

"You raised part of it yourself. How did you raise it? Didn't you lose money on the first one?" Lin Dong was curious.

"We begged everywhere, so I'm not afraid of your jokes. If we pester you too many times, big companies will always give us a break." Wang Zhou smiled shyly, with a hint of sadness in his confusion.

"Then what is your total budget?" Lin Dong was curious about how many large companies he had entangled.

"The cost of the first part is 35 million. The second part is based on the first part and can be slightly less. But to learn from the experience and lessons of the first part's promotion, we still need to make some budget for the promotion..."

"How much exactly?"

"The production cost is about 20 million, and the publicity budget is 8 million."

"If it's 20 million, won't the quality of the movie itself be affected?" Lin Dong was asking about this project seriously, and he wasn't just trying to save money.

"We will try our best, and theoretically there will be no decline."

"You don't need to take the money issue so seriously..."

Brother, your back hurts when you stand and talk. You have never experienced our despair. You have no idea what it feels like to be short of money everywhere and not even able to pay wages.

In fact, Lin Dong also experienced despair.

He was desperate when he saw too much money.

"What I mean is that your animation skills in the animated film "The King of Lingshan" are indeed excellent, but the storyline and characters are still a bit unflattering. I think you can polish the film itself more."

Lin Dong really studied their movies and then made his own personal suggestions.

If he really just wanted to lose money, he wouldn't bother to say this.

You'd better go down a dead end.

Help me lose money honestly and never turn around in my life.

However, people with dreams deserve respect.

He sincerely hopes that with the support of one or two movies, "Lingshan King" can rise, and then he can step back and let a conscientious animation company like Green Apple make money on its own.

"I understand, we will work hard." Wang Zhou nodded repeatedly.

"Let's see. The production and distribution costs for the second part will still be the same as those for the first part. Our company will provide 35 million. You just need to feel at ease and make good content."

"What?" It's not that I didn't hear clearly, it's that I didn't believe my ears.

Lin Dong talked so much that he thought Lin Dong was bargaining, thinking that their project was not worth so much investment and wanted to reduce the investment to them.

"I hope the second part will be better than the first one." Lin Dong stretched out his hand.

"Absolutely, we will do our best to strive for this project..." Wang Zhou grabbed Lin Dong's hand and shook it desperately.

"Director Wang, you are in the production business, just make movies well. As for the outcome of the project, we are not worried about it. What are you struggling with?" Lin Dong interrupted him.

What I hate the most is having to work hard to make money for yourself.

How do you behave so that others think you are not short of money?

Or let others think that you hate money.

Wang Zhou got the investment contract on the same day and received all the money on the same day.

And what about Lin Dong?

He also completed the settlement on the same day.

【Settlement in progress...】

[The project name is the animated film "Lingshan King 2", the production cost is 38 million yuan, and the total box office is 32.11 million yuan. According to the investment ratio, you have lost a total of 24.66 million yuan. Congratulations on your successful loss]

[The project is rated three and a half stars, received 28,800 gold galleons, and the current balance is 32,615]

[Settlement is over. Since the system account funds are not zero, a new round of starting funds will not be issued. The current fund balance of your system account is 308.26 million yuan]

The wizard took a deep breath.

The aroma of Galleons can be smelled through the system.

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen my Galleons.

But I still need more gold galleons, and thirty-two thousand is obviously not enough.

But don’t rush it.

The wizard has found a way forward from two successful losses.

animated movies.

You are my compass home!
