I'm almost a Muggle

"Huh, Dongzi, you're back." Du Qixi's face turned red, and he smelled of alcohol as he spoke. Apparently, he was dragged by Wang Shuo to try the wine.

I have time to drink, but I dare to drink during working hours.

Only Lin Dong's two best friends, Du Qixi and Zhang San, are fat.

The way they show off is to drink during work hours, which makes other employees very envious.

"Brother Qixi, this is Wu Feng, my friend."

Lin Dong introduced them to them.

"Brother Qixi!"

Wu Feng said hello first. He knew Du Qixi, the one who filmed New Road, and he also went to watch the film.

But I have been too busy in the past year, so I don’t know much about this person.

Du Qixi's face turned even redder.

"Brother Feng, don't call him Brother Qixi, he will bite. He is born in the 1990s. If you call him Xi'er, he will be very happy."

Lin Dong felt very sorry for the fat man.

He looks really anxious.

If you can make the forty-year-old Wu Feng shout out the three words "Qixi Brother" so naturally, then stop struggling.

Just think of yourself as sixty years old.

When you go out and take a bus, someone might give you a seat.

In fact, Brother Qixi is also troubled. He considers himself a handsome young man and wants to meet a beautiful woman like a flower and live a wonderful life together like a monkey.

However, the girls in the company call him uncle when they see him.

All the girls outside want to use his status as a director to gain fame and become famous in the entertainment industry. Who the hell would want to have a baby with you?

Neuropathy!

Director Du was so badly beaten that he went to the juicer to drown his sorrows with wine.

He didn't expect that even such a decent person as Wu Feng would harm him.

"Ahem, I thought it was a nickname. Don't mind. I'll call you Qixi. You can call me Brother Feng."

"Brother Feng, I really like your "Fang". I'm glad to meet you."

"I also like your "New Road". I didn't expect that you, a person born in the 1990s, would make such an excellent film."

"Can we not mention those born in the 1990s? I am born in the 1970s!"

Hahaha~

Everyone laughed heartily.

"Brother Qixi, I asked you to come here to help me calculate the budget for Brother Feng's play. Are you still clear-headed after drinking?"

"What are you talking about? Sober, absolutely sober. Let me tell you, when I graduated from high school, I drank with a group of buddies in Houhai. I even made my boss cry. I rode a tricycle to the supermarket to carry wine for us, back and forth.

I made three trips."

"Okay, okay, if you're awake, let's start counting."

Lin Dong spread out a piece of paper and asked everyone to write whatever they thought of.

This is not the first time for any of us to have budgeted for a movie, and it’s almost done pretty quickly.

Of course, you won’t know the exact figures for many things until you use them, but as long as you follow a slightly higher figure, you will basically not overspend.

With Boss Lin here, how could he not take advantage of the situation?

The final calculated figure was indeed over 100 million.

"As for the promotion, you have to calculate the money for the promotion. By the way, why don't we hand over this movie to Crest Culture Media for distribution." Shi Shanshan was very enthusiastic about promoting business for her group.

Uncle Wang Kuo has been here for so long, but he hasn't started work yet.

In front of him was Tian Dazhuang, a driver without a car, and in the back was Wang Kuo, a driver without a job.

I spent the whole day studying theory.

It is estimated that now I can go to university to become a teacher in this field.

"Uh..." Lin Dong hesitated for a moment.

Will this make me feel sorry for my new big brother?

After working so hard to produce a movie, if it fails again, will he be able to withstand such a blow?

But when he thought about it again, he felt that this was not bad.

This movie is guaranteed to lose money.

If you let your own company publish it, it will be a big loss at worst.

Anyway, if you lose money, you will lose money from the system.

Isn’t it a loss whether you have a lot of thanks or a loss?

At that time, the blame can still be thrown to the publisher, and all the responsibility will be held by Krest Culture Media, so that Lin Dong will have reason to continue investing in his second film.

Brother Feng, my brother will take care of you.

On the other side, Wu Feng had already nodded in agreement.

The employer has distribution channels, so there is no reason not to use them. It is much cheaper to use your own distribution channels.

As for the distribution strength of Crest Culture Media...

"New Road", a literary and artistic movie, was given a total of 650 million yuan, so what's there to question?

This poor guy, he went to the military camp for eighteen months to train.

Filming took several months.

Then he went to Yucheng to work as a volunteer for a few months. He was completely out of touch with the entertainment industry, so he had no idea that "New Road" was actually entrusted to Zhongyou Media for distribution.

The production cost plus publicity and distribution totaled 150 million.

Wu Feng actually doesn’t think that much is needed, just over 100 million.

But those at Crest Culture Media have become accustomed to spending money lavishly, and they don’t even know what moderation is.

Lin Dong also proposed that Wu Feng, as a director and screenwriter, participate in the investment return sharing, giving him 10%.

The system didn't object.

Others have no reason to object to this. Whether they can get the money is another matter.

The script is almost done.

Once the funds are in place, what are you waiting for?

Lin Dong urged them to sign the contract and transfer the money.

When transferring money, Lin Dong did not forget to let the money leave the fund account.

What?

Isn't this an art film?

Why can't soldiers be artistic?

I say it is a literary film, and it is a literary film.

We have a dialogue that goes down from the Han Dynasty: "Anyone who offends China will be punished no matter how far away it is."

How artistic.

【Settlement in progress...】

[The project name is the movie "Special Wolf Warriors", the production cost is 150 million, and the total box office is 420 million. According to the investment ratio, you have lost a total of 17.7 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 224.735 million yuan]

Sure enough, I lost money.

The total box office is 420 million. After deducting miscellaneous items, taxes, etc., and then giving 10% to Wu Feng, the box office revenue in Lin Dong’s hands is 130 million.

Without deducting costs, 5% will be used for charity.

There are also 6.6 million.

Including the loss of 17.7 million, the total loss is 24.3 million.

Kill three birds with one stone!

You ask, where are the three gains?

Losing money is not a gain.

Is it a gain to use the money that cheats the system for charity?

One more thing?

The most important thing is that Lin Dong has made a good friend.

Wu Feng!

Including this "Special Wolf Warrior", he has already lost two movies in a row.

What does this mean?

It shows that he is a reliable, good friend who can lose money and can help Lin Dong get home.

A long-term and stable cooperative relationship must be established.

Knowing such a good friend makes people more hopeful than losing hundreds of millions.

Lin Dong warmly invited Wu Feng to have a meal before leaving.

Of course, it must be Wu Feng who pays the bill. Whoever eats with investors will have investors foot the bill.

Wu Feng doesn't mind buying this order either.

Although he made a loss on his last movie, that movie was sponsored by others and did not cause any harm to him.

His own net worth is still very good. The house alone is a mansion worth tens of millions. Spending thousands of dollars on food is nothing.
