I'm almost a Muggle

Before the program is completed, Lin Dong still has one very important thing to do.

It is the 5 million system starting capital in his hand, which he must spend before the "Tucao Show" is settled.

Otherwise, even if the complaint show fails again, it will not really lose everything.

Lin Dong is not optimistic enough to be naive.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was not much money in the system account, he had to make a quick move to earn a few more gold galleons.

I have money in my hand and don’t feel panic.

Just find a movie with a guaranteed payout.

Lin Dong found some people on WeChat and sent them messages, saying that the company had a support program for artistic films and asking if anyone knew of any good works that needed investment.

I am only responsible for forwarding the work of our company without any responsibility.

Lin Dong regretted that he had invested in so many literary films at the beginning of the year. It would have been nice to keep a few as backup at any time.

Now I can't find it even if I want it.

At this critical moment, a literary film must be used to support the scene.

After the message was sent, there were so many replies.

This kind of thing where there is money but no place to invest, everyone wants to help. After the pimp is successful, both sides will be pleased.

Lin Dong took out a pen and paper and copied them down one by one.

Then do the analysis.

There are also some projects received from the Cultural Fund.

Frankly speaking, there are indeed many young people here who want to make good movies.

But I had more ambition than strength, and the quality of what I produced was too poor.

It is estimated that only they can understand what they photographed.

This is actually better.

The key is that there are still some directors who are very extreme in their views and have problems with all three aspects of their outlook. There is probably no chance that the things they produce will pass censorship.

The system people are also advancing with the times.

Well, it can be regarded as a system update.

According to the new regulations of the system, if the film invested in cannot be released, the system will determine that Lin Dong failed to lose money, and he will get back as much as he invested.

Lin Dong finally selected two movies.

One was sent to me by Zhou Bo, called "Dear Child", starring him, directed by great director Chen Yixin, and joined by Zhao Yanzi and Zhang Zhang, who had acted in "Soldiers Rush".

This film already has several investors, but it can still accommodate some capital investment.

There is another one recommended by Li Yang.

Li Yang is the screenwriter of "Outsmarting the Mountain Eagle" and is friends with Lin Dong.

He is a screenwriter as well as a director, and his most famous work should be "The Blind Shaft".

The movie he recommended is called "Land of Lush Water and Grass".

"Land of Rich Water and Grass" is a film by Li Ruijun. His debut film "Summer Solstice" won the Best Film Special Award at the 9th Greek International Independent Film Festival and was shortlisted for the 37th Rotterdam International Film Festival.

Li Yang did not know Li Ruijun.

He knew Liu Hongyong, who was the photographer of "The Blind Shaft" and they had collaborated before.

And this time, the photographer hired for "Land of Rich Water and Grass" is also Liu Hongyong.

Liu Hongyong asked Li Yang to help introduce some funds. Although Li Yang hooked up with Xu Guai and worked as a screenwriter for Xu Guai, he really didn't have the ability to talk to capital.

Otherwise, Li Yang would not have started with a low-cost film like "The Blind Shaft".

I happened to receive such a message from Lin Dong.

He said that Crest Culture Media has an investment plan and asked friends who knew about it to help introduce it.

Li Yang's only worry was that Lin Dong wanted to bring capital into the group.

There is no place for Lin Dong in this film.

The protagonists of the story are a pair of Yugu teenagers

Although they are blood brothers, the friendship between the brothers is very weak because the brother sent his sample to his grandfather's house when he was young.

In order to build a brotherhood between them, their parents discussed with their grandfather and decided to send the two brothers to the same school.

But even though they lived under the same roof, the awkward atmosphere between the two still did not ease.

In a blink of an eye, summer vacation is coming. At the same time, the elderly grandfather unfortunately passes away, leaving only the two brothers. They wait and wait but can't wait for their father. They decide to rely on their own strength to cross the vast 500-kilometer prairie.

, looking for home on the grassland.

The movie reflects a disappearing grassland life, and the actors in it are all selected from this nation that is about to disappear.

Lin Dong compares the two films.

Both films are quite positive, one is about the search for a kidnapped son, and the other reflects the anxiety of history.

A movie has so many big names and its director is one of the top ten directors in Hong Kong. If this movie failed, it would have received at least a four-star rating.

But the second part didn't even have professional actors.

A film like this, even if it loses money, can only be rated two to three stars at most.

The settlement star rating is very important.

According to the regulations of the system, for every initial capital loss of 10,000 yuan, you can get 1 to 100 gold galleons based on the star rating.

If it is a one star review.

Then this 1~100 becomes 1~20.

By analogy, two stars are 20~40, three stars are 40~60, four stars are 60~80, and five stars are 80~100.

The higher the star rating, the higher the conversion ratio.

The star rating depends on two factors, the quality of the movie and the commercial elements of the movie.

If a movie wins the Oscar for Best Picture but loses money, then the movie will definitely receive five stars.

If a movie, everyone thinks it will make a lot of money, and various factors work hard to convince you, and you have a unique discernment, and you buy it, it will be a big hit, and your bet is right, then congratulations, the rating of this project will definitely be high.

will be low.

This can also be said to be a money-losing technical content.

The harder it is to lose, you will lose, such as "1942".

Lin Dong called Zhou Bo.

"Brother Bo, do you think this movie has the potential to lose money?" Lin Dong asked.

"Losing money? I don't think it's possible. The quality of the movies made by director Chen Yixin is very guaranteed. Let's not talk about "Sweet Honey". Although the box office of the previous "Sign Up" was not too high, it was still barely profitable.

This is it."

"Is it possible that there is no compensation at all?" Lin Dong asked unwillingly.

"Who can say for sure, but I think the possibility of losing money is unlikely. The last movie that Director Chen and the screenwriter collaborated on had a box office of more than 500 million. This one cannot be less than 300 million. My studio still has

Then I invested five million."

What a great project.

Everyone thinks it will not pay.

If you invest in it and it loses, the rating should be at least four stars.

So, what needs to be considered now is whether Zhou Bo is reliable or not.

In fact, this requires no effort at all to judge.

Zhou Bo is such a fine person.

He was a late bloomer and started to rise strongly after "The Stone". Throughout his acting career in the past few years, the films he chose either had great reputations or had great box office success.

He said it was impossible to compensate.

It's really impossible.

"Forget it, I won't follow this project." Lin Dong shook his head.

"Ah?" Zhou Bo was completely dumbfounded.

"Oh, what I mean is that I'll think about it and contact you later." Lin Dong hesitated for a while, but decided that it would be better to be cowardly.

Yeah, solid.

This is not called cowardice, this is called stability.

The King of Wizards also needs to give in.
