I'm almost a Muggle

Lin Dong rushed back to the company and called Du Qixi, who was looking for a life monkey.

Du Qixi has nothing to do recently, so the Kleist Cultural Fund was entrusted to him to prepare and let him contact some literary film directors to see if there are any suitable projects.

"Mr. Lin."

"Brother Qixi, how have you been lately?"

"I'm almost dead. I'm about to leave for Yucheng to be a volunteer."

"Just you? What can you do if you go?"

It's not that Lin Dong looked down on this fat man. This fat man was as weak as a chicken. He was out of breath after running a few steps on the set.

It's not fat that causes this result.

If he is just fat, Lin Dong can use magic potion to help him.

He is empty.

I don’t know why it’s so vain.

There is nothing the wizard can do.

"My heart, do you understand my heart? I will use my blood..."

"Save it for yourself. If you haven't come across any projects recently, bring it over quickly."

"Boss, when did this happen?"

"Cut the nonsense!"

Du Qixi felt aggrieved and placed several project documents in front of Lin Dong.

Lin Dong picked up a book, flipped through a few pages, and threw it directly into the trash can.

Because the system said it was too scumbag and the money was fraudulently obtained, so it was not allowed to be invested.

"I think it's pretty good. This project was an idea that one of my buddies came up with." Du Qixi shook his head in confusion, completely confused about Boss Lin's criteria for judgment.

Lin Dong paused while flipping through the items.

I sighed in my heart, after all, it is still my sleeping dragon and phoenix chick, and my eyesight has never been blind.

This second project is quite good.

"This "Maze of the Mind" is quite interesting, but is the production cost column filled in incorrectly?"

This movie tells the story of a series of bizarre events caused by an inexplicable appearance of a corpse in a remote village.

Just reading the script, I thought it was very exciting.

But it cost two million to make?

Can you make a movie with two million? Even if you don't pay attention to the cast, the extras should still be paid, okay?

"That's right. The director said this amount is enough."

"Inform the producer to come over."

"now?"

"Yes, let him bring his documents and other things, and notify the finance department to prepare the payment."

A two-million-dollar literary film, no matter how successful it is, probably won't make much money, and it might not even be screened.

Lin Dong had no choice but to continue looking down.

The third one, throw it away.

The fourth one, throw it away.

The fifth book...

"Is this a teacher from our school?" Lin Dong asked Du Qixi.

"Which one? Oh, it's "Girl Thirteen" by teacher Cao Baoguang. I remember this film. It was the graduation work of a master's student in the literature department. Teacher Cao thought it was quite interesting and wanted to put it on the screen.

, everything is ready, but we are short of money."

"Then call their producer over too."

"The producer is Mr. Cao, I'll call them."

The production cost is 20 million, which is relatively normal. Regardless of whether the film is good or bad, the box office will be at least tens of millions.

The sixth book.

Lin Dong was confused about the name, and the project title of the film was simply "32".

After flipping through a few pages, he felt a little heavy.

This is a film about the trauma of war.

Different from the tough-guy movie that Lin Dong and Wu Feng agreed upon, this is a documentary that tells a painful history.

There are no historical data scenes, no bloody and violent scenes in the film, only the daily life and mood records of these lovely old people.

In the face of pain, don't resent it all day long, but never forget it for a moment.

"I think this film can be invested in, although it won't make any money." Seeing Lin Dong pick up this project, Du Qixi began to work hard to persuade Lin Dong: "Let's just treat it as a charity. Don't you often say that making money is not?

The most important thing?"

The projects his brother brought over were placed on top of the pile.

Was thrown away by Lin Dong.

This will make him lose face in front of his friends.

He didn't say anything either.

Now it is a film that has nothing to do with him, but he has been waiting here to help talk.

Brother Qixi is quite cute sometimes.

"Inform the director or producer to come over."

"okay!"

Lin Dong read the remaining three books and threw them all into the trash can.

That's all that was finally decided.

"The Labyrinth of the Mind".

"Girl Thirteen".

"32".

Du Qixi received a total of nine project applications, and Lin Dong selected three of them. The others either had obviously incorrect views, or were so bad that the system was unwilling to invest.

As soon as I heard there was news from the Kleist Cultural Fund.

The three companies rushed to Crest Culture Media Company one after another.

Lin Dong took Du Qixi and Shi Shanshan and talked with them one by one. Those who talked signed the contract and then went to the finance department to settle the payment.

No making things difficult.

There are no actors stuffed either.

As the employer, they can only recover 35% of the box office in proportion. If they can negotiate with the theater chain, the rest will be at their own disposal.

If you can get it to a film festival for awards, the bonus you get will not be included in the film's income.

When I first saw the establishment of the Kleist Cultural Fund online, it was said that it would support domestic literary and artistic films and cultural construction, and that the fund would not be for profit.

Many people think this company is a hype.

Is it possible that you really don’t want to make money?

Now, they finally knew it was true. After all, the contract had been signed and the money was immediately transferred to the crew's account.

Settlement!

【Settlement in progress...】

[Project 1: The movie "Maze of the Mind" has a production cost of 2 million yuan and a total box office of 10.65 million yuan. According to the investment ratio, you will recover the investment cost and make a profit of 1.72 million yuan. Unfortunately...]

[Project 2: The movie "32" had a production cost of 3 million and a total box office of 3.7 million. According to the investment ratio, you lost a total of 1.705 million. Congratulations on your successful loss]

[Project 3: The movie "Thirteen Girls", the production cost was 20 million, and the total box office was 48.17 million. According to the investment ratio, you lost a total of 3.1405 million. Congratulations on your successful loss]

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

[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 230715000]

After the settlement, there is still 230 million left.

It was originally 300 million, but Lin Dong settled the employees' salaries and the company's venue fees at the beginning of the year, plus this time he lost several million, so this was all that was left in the end.

Lin Dong was numb to the huge amount of money in the system account.

What he cares about is how much box office revenue these three movies generated.

Regardless of whether it loses money or not, if the movie generates box office, it is considered box office revenue. He can first withhold 5% of this revenue for charity regardless of the cost.

The total box office of the three movies was 6,252. After excluding the miscellaneous items, the total box office allocated to him was 21.88 million.

If multiplied by 5%, the total is only 1.09 million.

This is the portion retained without considering costs. If the costs are deducted first to calculate the profit, and 5% is deducted from the profit, there will be not a dime left.

In a sense, two of these three movies were lost.

This is the most outstanding achievement in his money-losing career.
