I'm almost a Muggle

"Working for Gold" made Lin Dong a little popular.

In addition, his agency is very wealthy, so scripts are often delivered to Qian Na, and directors also come to visit in person.

But the quality of the script is immediately apparent.

It's purely a money scam.

Lin Dong wanted to lose money, but he would not accept the humiliation of his IQ.

The only people he can look up to are a few directors who can make something regardless of whether they make money or not.

Ninghai counts as one.

So does the motor.

"The Great Earthquake", "The Lawsuit" and "1942".

No matter how many people complain about Ma Da, the things he shoots have content, and at least he deserves the title of "excellent filmmaker".

No, I just finished filming a scene.

The assistant was waiting nearby with his cell phone.

It was said that Ma Da just called and asked Lin Dong to come back when he was free.

"Teacher Ma is looking for me, what's the matter?"

"Are you free recently? I feel very sorry about the movie. I want to treat you to a meal as an apology."

"Look what you said, there are profits and losses in business. It's normal business behavior. There's nothing to be sorry for."

"Having said that, I just feel sorry for it."

"Teacher Ma, don't take it to heart. Small money is nothing."

Ma Da was talking about "1942". Lin Dong invested 20 million yuan, but not only did he not make any money, he also lost more than 8 million yuan.

This alone made Lin Dong look at Teacher Ma Da with admiration.

I regret not investing more. If he had invested 200 million, he would have lost 80 million.

But Ma Da felt that he had lost money from investors, so he politely called to express his condolences, lest Lin Dong have a grudge and affect the possibility of future cooperation.

Lin Dong has studied motors.

Ma Da did not have a good background and did not receive a particularly good education. After transferring from the army, he initially entered the industry as an artist.

He can handle these core aspects of writing, directing and acting very smoothly.

Compared with other directors of the same level, Ma Da's films are more down-to-earth, and it is rare to hear that he has won any awards at international film festivals.

Those golden palms, golden lions, silver bears and so on, they don't look down on him at all.

He participated in the fierce market competition from the beginning and struggled to survive in the cracks. In a sense, Xiao Ma Da is a commercial film director who knows the pulse of the market very well.

He created the brand new concept of Lunar New Year stalls and it is still used today. Good films are still being squeezed into the Lunar New Year stalls.

He is also a nationalist.

No matter how commercial the film is, he will always put something in-depth into it.

He has a movie called "The Country of Black America" ​​in which he risked his life to tell the people that the United States is not the golden paradise they imagined.

He also had people teach Americans to learn Chinese in the movie.

His biggest hit was actually not "1942" but "Dinner".

With a sponsorship of 20 million US dollars, everything from the actors to the production lineup is top-notch.

Unfortunately, it suffered a double blow at the box office and word of mouth.

"What filming plans does Mr. Ma have recently?" Lin Dong was thinking, why don't you play "Dinner 2" to bring back the missed fate?

"Hey, I have to make some money-changing movies. How about you, do you want to trust me again?"

The meaning of motor is very simple.

I lost money with you, and now I will help you make it back.

And the movie he was looking for money for was, of course, a copycat of a previous blockbuster movie.

"What are you talking about? Forget about making money. Next time if there is a profound film like "1942", please remember to come to me. I'm not afraid of losing money."

"..."

The motor was really stunned.

He has been in the industry for so many years and has seen everyone, including bad guys, weirdos, good people, and saints, but he has never seen anyone like Lin Dong.

I don't even know how to describe him.

The problem was that he couldn't hear the politeness in Lin Dong's words.

"Then I wish Mr. Ma's new film a big hit." The prop team over there has been prepared, and it's his turn to go over and film.

"Hey, wait a minute, Lin Dong, do you have time to attend the Spring Festival Gala?"

Originally we were here to talk about apology and compensation, but it seemed that the debt was getting bigger and bigger, so Ma Da became unconvinced.

"What?"

Lin Dong was confused and couldn't understand.

"I received the task of directing a Spring Festival Gala this year. If you have a schedule, how about coming over to rehearse and go on stage?"

I just don’t believe that I can’t return this favor.

Letting Lin Dong make money with him is actually nothing.

It would be a great favor to let him attend the Spring Festival Gala.

Going to the Spring Festival Gala can give you the opportunity to be exposed and increase your own value. This is the benefit of going to the Spring Festival Gala. So now there are really many people who are thinking of going to the Spring Festival Gala because they want this opportunity.

If a certain magician named Liu had not attended the Spring Festival Gala.

No matter how many awards he gets, even if he can conjure a flower, how many people will know him.

In addition to the reason of exposure, the most important thing is to be affirmed and recognized by the mainstream media. At least this means that there is no big stain on the artist.

Regardless of what kind of amulet it is, with this aura, as long as you don't seek death, at least everyone will think twice before touching you.

"Go up to sing or perform? I don't know how to do it, so I won't go on stage." Lin Dong hesitated for a moment, but still chose to refuse.

The reason for hesitation is naturally because the parents of Lin Dong, the original owner, like to watch the Spring Festival Gala very much.

If they can see their son on the Spring Festival Gala stage, it will probably become the best memory of their lives.

The wizard hopes that even if he leaves, he can fulfill his filial piety before leaving.

But if virtue is not matched, there will be disaster.

Lin Dong did some research and compared it with the Spring Festival Gala he had watched before, and found that he really had nothing to perform.

Unless he is willing to hold a little magic wand and perform witchcraft on the Spring Festival Gala stage.

Then he will wait to be studied by others.

"Just go up and show your face. You don't need to do anything. If you sing, do you think there are still real singers?" Ma Da said.

"I really can't go, Teacher Ma. I believe in a saying that if virtue is not matched, there will be disaster. If one day I really have this talent and virtue, I would like to ask you to pull the string so that my parents can perform on the Spring Festival Gala stage.

Saw me once."

There was no answer from the motor side for a long time.

He felt that the person he met was like an old-fashioned gentleman from the Middle Ages, like a meticulous teacher from an ancient academy. This style of doing things was incompatible with a young man.

But there was no need for Lin Dong to pretend in front of him.

"Teacher Ma?" Lin Dong couldn't hear the response and wondered if it was time to hang up.

"You just said that you want your parents to see you on the Spring Festival Gala stage. They really like watching the Spring Festival Gala?" Ma Da asked.

"Yeah, I've been watching it for more than 20 years, and I haven't stopped watching it every year."

This was something I accidentally heard from my old father when I returned to the Northeast last time. Lin Dong has no memory of the original owner, so he will keep these details in his heart.
