I'm almost a Muggle

Although Lin Dong felt that someone deliberately asked him to be the male lead, which would give him face, he did not agree immediately.

This feeling is amazing.

The most scientific way to give a role to someone is to audition.

Whoever is suitable for whom.

But in fact, most roles are not created through auditions.

The entertainment industry does not mean that if you have good acting skills, you will definitely succeed in the audition. If you have no connections, no background, and are unwilling to lose your virginity, then you may be unemployed.

Lin Dong's previous roles were basically brought into the group with money or introduced by friends.

Well, not basically, but everything.

"Arrow Stabs the Heart", "The Golden Guard", "Journey to the West" and "Peace of the North" were all financed into the group; "For Gold" and "Massage" relied on friendships.

Take the initiative to find him and let him play an important role.

Only Su Xiaohu.

I don’t know what I like about him.

Uh... Not only is this person not married, he seems to have never had any scandals.

Those who are born in the 70s, it’s scary to think about it.

Lin Dong asked about the script and found out that it was a work of youth trauma literature.

There is an original work.

So he decided to reply to Su Xiaohu after reading the original work.

It was a good meal, and everyone went back to their homes after eating.

Lin Dong slept in the hotel, slept until he woke up naturally, and then took a plane back to the capital, slowly and leisurely, and then there was another gap period.

But he was really in no hurry to find a job.

The high-intensity fighting in "The Robbery 2" left him covered in bruises and bruises. He was more tired than fighting a goblin, oh no, a dark wizard.

When we arrived at the company, it was already afternoon.

"Pacific Boat" has quickly completed an investment of 30 million, accounting for 7.5%.

The wizard can settle accounts again.

【Settlement in progress...】

[Project: The movie "Pacific Boat", the production cost is 400 million, the total box office is 250 million, according to the investment ratio, you lost a total of 23.43 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, the starting amount of the next round is 5 million, and the current funds in your system account are 11.56 million yuan (excluding another 270 million variety show and movie budget in the company account)]

Haha, haha~

Lin Dong knew that his happiness was a bit too much.

His success in losing money means that the project Huang Daan participated in lost money again.

It cost a total of 400 million to produce and promote, but the box office was only 250 million. This means that we have to pay at least 300 million in compensation.

Paying 300 million yuan for a movie is even more cruel than "Rock Husky".

The system account balance is only 11.56 million, which contains a starting capital of 5 million. If you lose this thing, you can generate gold galleons.

Then, the next step is to find a movie that is bound to lose money.

If you must lose money, you can enter a virtuous cycle, lose one and earn another gold galleons, so that you can leave quickly.

But it’s not easy to make compensation.

After all, the system is not helping Boss Lin lose money at all, it is just a hindrance.

Many projects simply cannot pass that level.

[System, I heard that The Pacific Boat is divided into two parts. Can’t I continue to vote for the next part?]

[Even if it is divided into two parts, it is still the same project]

[What about "Beautiful Date"? If it is to be a sequel, will it also be rejected?]

["Beautiful Date" is fine, but they are two completely different stories. Why do you think "Pacific Boat" suffered so much loss? It's not because the pace is too slow. In order to make two cents, it has to be made into a top and bottom part]

[Logically no problem, if you split it into two parts, you have to pay for two movie tickets]

【Do you seem stupid】

[You are a robot, how can you curse people]

[Believe it or not, I will reward you 200 million]

Lin Dong was not in a hurry anymore.

No money in hand, don’t panic!

The boss came back, the employees cheered up, and those who worked hard started to work.

Pei Qianlong walked in with an iPad.

"Mr. Lin, the media's reaction to your becoming the Best Actor has been quite kind."

"It's better not to mention the word Best Actor. I feel ashamed. Let's wait until I become the Best Actor in Cannes."

Lin Dong quickly corrected him.

Among the Best Actors at the Spring City Film Festival, apart from peers complimenting each other, no one really has the nerve to go out and say that he is the Best Actor.

Not even the Shanghai Film Festival.

The lowest level also has a golden image, a golden horse, a golden rooster and a hundred flowers.

"Okay, regarding this matter, our company's official blog posted a congratulatory Weibo, and many friends in the circle retweeted it. Take a look, Mr. Lin."

Pei Qianlong handed over the iPad.

"Yesterday, Su Xiaohu invited me to play the male lead in "The Right Ear". Please help me study and evaluate this script."

Lin Dong was reading Weibo while assigning tasks to Pei Qianlong.

As expected, there aren’t too many trolls in the comments below the official blog.

Maybe it’s because the Spring City Film Festival really doesn’t pay much attention, and no one cares about what award you win, or maybe the people who retweeted it are too awesome.

In terms of official blogs, Maben Pictures was retweeted.

This is a movie invested by their company, and they have collaborated with Ning Hai many times.

By the way, they also invested in "Pacific Boat", and the investment amount should exceed 200 million, which means that they lost at least 1.5 billion.

The truth makes people sympathize with and envy at the same time.

There is also Zhongyou Media, after all, we have cooperated many times.

There is also Guangjin Pictures. Lin Dong will soon star in the film "Outsmarting the Mountain Eagle" they invested in. The actor's award-winning recognition will also be beneficial to the promotion of their film.

These are all big companies that rank very high in the industry.

Personally, Yu Huatian congratulated Lin Dong on Weibo for winning the award. This is very important.

Because Yuhuatian was also nominated.

His forwarding is equivalent to recognition of this result.

Liang Zihui also forwarded it. He is a best actor and the winner of multiple best actor trophies. Who dares to call him blind?

What surprised Lin Dong was that Chen Jingqi also forwarded it.

He doesn’t post much on Weibo.

It's a big favor to be able to log in specifically to repost a post.

Others such as Huang Da'an, Zhou Bo, Xu Lang, Yan Ji, An Qian, Ning Hai, Zhang Hanshu, Sha Ren, Meng Chao, Hu Zhe, Gu Shaolong, etc. are not listed one by one.

Just from this thing, you can see Lin Dong's connections in the entertainment industry.

Lin Dong forwarded this post.

He said that he was grateful for the concern and encouragement from his friends, but that he still had many shortcomings and that he would work hard and hope to get more recognition for his acting skills.

Pei Qianlong left with the mission.

Then Zhang Sanpang came in.

"Dongzi, congratulations on winning the Best Actor Award."

"Three fat brothers, please stop making fun of me."

"Oh, I envy you. You are admitted to the acting department. Who doesn't have the dream of becoming an actor?"

"If you want, you can do acting. We have the resources at home."

Lin Dong's words were really not polite. He already felt that Zhang Sanpang was unreliable. A "Wizard on the Tip of the Tongue" earned 200 million.

If he becomes an actor, Lin Dong will welcome him with both hands.

Even if you smash it, you can make him a movie star.

"Haha, I just lamented that being an actor is too tiring, how can I be as good as I am now." Zhang Sanpang shook his head repeatedly.

What is his current status?

The top variety show director in China.

Even if the actor meets him, he must honestly call him Teacher Zhang.

He earns several million a year, and he is no less talented than ordinary celebrities. He cannot compare to him. He looks so wretched, and he is destined to be unable to rely on his looks to make a living.

"Hey, then why did you come to me?" Lin Dong still couldn't bear to be cruel and had this guy dismissed from his job and investigated.

"For our new show, Penguin said they would give us a guaranteed guarantee, but they would never make us lose money. This is the condition they gave us."

Zhang Sanpang handed Lin Dong a piece of paper.

I'll go, will you give me a guarantee?

Then I'm still at a loss.

If there is anything that Lin Dong hates in the current entertainment industry, it is undoubtedly the bottom line.

The movie has a guaranteed release.

It means that you are guaranteed at least as much box office as you can earn, and if there is not enough, the distribution company will make up for it.

Boss Lin wants to guarantee the distribution for others.

For example, if a movie called "Massage" grosses more than 2 million yuan at the box office, I will give you a guarantee of 200 million yuan. If it is not enough, I will compensate you.

What a great way to lose money.

Just release a few movies and you'll lose everything.

It's a pity that the system doesn't agree at all.

Unexpectedly, this "bad habit" has spread to the variety show circle.

"Can you bring this kind of guarantee plus bonus to me?" Lin Dong threw the paper on the table and looked at Zhang Sanpang seriously.

"Dongzi, you don't like it either, right?" Zhang Sanpang patted his thigh hard and said, "I also think our variety show is worth more than this amount of money."

"Yes...that's right." Lin Dong thought this was a good reason.

In fact, a program that curses people can make a ridiculous amount of money. He thinks this program is worthless.

"So let's continue with the guaranteed issuance. The piece of paper below is the guaranteed agreement data I drafted." Zhang Sanpang said.

Lin Dong took it over and took a look, but still felt something was wrong.

If you calculate it this way, 10 million monthly views can make your money back.

The average monthly views of each issue of "The Wizard on the Tip of the Tongue" are approximately 15 million.

just in case!

If this new variety show can reach this level, wouldn't it be a loss?

"Three Fatty Brother, you are still too conservative. What do you think the monthly viewing volume of our new variety show can reach?"

Lin Dong looked over with encouraging eyes.

Zhang Sanpang was a little hesitant and felt a little bitter in his heart.

Although he himself is quite confident, many people around him are not very optimistic about this project. Ten million monthly views is already the limit he thinks.

But Mr. Lin was still not satisfied.

How many months of views do you need to be satisfied?

"I think the monthly views of our variety show should be at least 50 million!" Lin Dong gritted his teeth and said a number desperately.

This is like a child bragging.

A child pointed out that our steamed buns are as big as ours.

Then another friend opened his arms directly behind his back, and our steamed buns were even bigger.

So the third kid said, my brother dares to eat shit.

The fourth child said, my brother dared to eat two lumps.

The fifth child shook his head.

"Fifty...fifty million! Dong...Mr. Lin, isn't this too risky?" Du Qixi's legs went weak and he almost collapsed on the sofa.

"Three fat brothers, you may not even know how much energy you have."

Lin Dong started cheating mode.

He kept praising Zhang Sanpang, and soon he was so praised that even he himself believed it.

So a new gambling agreement was released.

More bold than last time.

The last gambling agreement stipulated that if the monthly broadcast volume exceeds 10 million, a reward of 10 million will be given, plus 20% of advertising revenue.

But this time, if the monthly broadcast volume is less than 10 million, Crest Culture Media will only receive 2 million in remuneration for each issue.

This means that one period will result in a loss of 18 million.

If it can reach 10 million monthly views, Crest Culture Media will only receive 5 million in remuneration.

Only when the monthly broadcast volume reaches 20 million can Crest Culture Media make money.

With a monthly broadcast volume of 20 million, Crest Culture Media will not only receive 20 million in remuneration per issue, but also receive 10% of the advertising revenue.

But the profit is not enough. Compared with the production cost of 20 million per issue, the profit is only 10% of the advertising revenue.

Only a single issue has more than 50 million views.

Once the monthly broadcast volume exceeds 50 million, Crest Culture Media can earn 50 million per issue, plus 30% of advertising revenue.

As for the span between 20 million and 50 million, Lin Dong didn't care about it.

The bet is fifty million!

Zhang Sanpang has also been ignited with high ambitions, so let’s create a variety show that will definitely be a hit.

Let a program like "Where Are the Children Gone" kneel down and sing "Conquer"?
