I'm almost a Muggle

Lin Dong asked Li Yang for his contact information.

I contacted them quickly.

Unexpectedly, it was an acquaintance who came.

It's not director Li Ruijun, but producer Fang Li.

Fang Li and Lin Dong knew.

He is one of the producers of "The King of Hundreds of Birds" and once helped raise funds for "The King of Hundreds of Birds".

For that film, Lin Dong met the director himself, but when the contract was signed, the producer also came over.

It was this person who made Lin Dong invest in "The King of Birds" not only failed to lose money, but also made a profit of 18 million.

According to the system, there are two reasons why this film can make money. One is that what Lin Dong seems to do in the future will affect this film.

The other is that the producer kneels down in front of the camera for the movie.

I sincerely request all major theaters to schedule more films for this masterpiece.

So Lin Dong had someone investigate this person.

Then I found out that this person had no interest in anything with "The King of Hundred Birds". He was helping out on a voluntary basis, helping to attract investment and publicity.

He has a background in applied physics and received an MBA degree from Wake Forest University in the United States.

Later, he founded Laurel Industries, which achieved great commercial success in the fields of earth science and marine science and technology.

He has a scholarship in his name to reward undergraduate students who study diligently, are pioneering and innovative, and have excellent moral character and academic excellence. It will be awarded once a year.

He also founded a film company.

From 2001 to now, he has invested in many literary films. He participated in the film in which Hua Yan was fined and banned from making movies for five years.

This film company is basically bankrupt due to his troubles.

This is a person Lin Dong admires from the bottom of his heart.

Regardless of his starting point, this man has done a lot of good things.

The most important thing is how people can lose money so easily.

"Mr. Lin, Mr. Shi, nice to meet you." Fang Li shook hands with Lin Dong and Shi Shanshan. After receiving the news, he came to visit them personally.

After Lin Dong shook hands with him, he went straight to the point: "I heard that no one has invested in "Land of Rich Water and Grass" yet, right?"

"Yes." Fang Li nodded.

"Mr. Fang, what do you think this movie will be like?" Shi Shanshan said very euphemistically, meaning how much damage do you think this movie will cost.

"Actually, I also wanted to come to you. You also voted for the last movie I contacted," Fang Li smiled and said frankly: "But in the end, I still didn't have the nerve to contact you, because...it's not possible to pluck wool.

He was dragging a sheep with all his strength."

"Uh..." Shi Shanshan didn't expect him to be so honest.

"The King of Birds" is still being filmed, and no one knows that it will make money, and no one thought that it would make money.

Everyone’s goal is to lose just a little bit less.

So what Fang Li means is, I have already tricked you once, and I am embarrassed to trick you a second time.

"How much money does this movie need?" Lin Dong asked.

Shi Shanshan stopped talking.

A smart subordinate should know how to read the situation. According to her experience, the boss at this time should be going crazy again.

Alas, the boss is just too soft-hearted.

When I see a good work that no one wants to vote for, I feel regretful and would rather suffer a loss myself to support it.

Good people are rewarded. I hope this movie won't lose money.

"Four million is enough. We are not hiring professional actors, so we don't need much in terms of salary. Liu Hongyong, who is in charge of filming, is very capable and can save a lot of money." Fang Li secretly admired Lin Dong.

It's a pity again.

He felt that Lin Dong was just like him.

I always take emotional things too seriously.

People like them may be able to succeed, but it is difficult to achieve much success.

Because on the road of life, I am always greedy for the scenery along the way.

Literary youth is a disease.

"That's it. Sister Shan, please take charge of the contract and complete the signing and transfer with Teacher Fang." Lin Dong did not let the other party say more about the investment.

At any rate, I spent all the initial capital of 5 million.

But he is also afraid.

"The King of Birds" cost 20 million to produce and promote, but it sold 120 million at the box office. Even if Lin Dong did not consider other income besides the box office, he still got nearly double the profit.

It doesn't matter if the money is added, what if you make money by flapping the chicken wings?

So he has looked away now.

Give as much as you want.

Whether it's enough or not is their own business.

"I would like to thank Mr. Lin and Mr. Shi on behalf of the entire crew. If I encounter a profitable project next time, I will definitely introduce it to you." Fang Li was moved.

Nicola pull it down.

Who are you trying to trick?

Lin Dong said a few perfunctory words and ended the conversation. The recording of the program started in the evening, and Huang Da'an was probably already at the scene.

He came later than other main chefs, so he acted like a big name.

The program was recorded at the studio of Capital Television, just across the Guomao Overpass from where Lin Dong and his company are located.

It's diagonally opposite, you can walk there.

Those who went to be spectators had to walk there.

Lin Dong can't, he has to take a business car there.

Let’s talk about a rural boy who finally bought a car after struggling for several years. In order to show off and let everyone know, he had to drive the car when he went to the village to play cards.

Of course, Lin Dong didn't do it just to show off.

After all, he is a star.

When Lin Dong entered, Du Qixi was recording a blank shot of the audience's reaction.

There were no guests and no performances. The camera was focused on the audience who were already seated, making them slump, applaud, and giggle.

This is really not a fool's errand.

When playing a program, if the audience's laughter point is too high, they can't laugh, or their reaction is too slow, just cut this part out at that time.

"Okay, you guys, smile a little more exaggeratedly, yes, you did a great job."

"Brother Qixi, can we come next time?" They are all company employees, so they are not afraid of this warm-up director.

"Teacher Zhang Jincheng has the final say as to whether you can come. I'm just here to warm up." Du Qixi shook his head.

In fact, he knew that it was impossible to always have a fixed group of people as the audience, otherwise everyone watching the show would probably recognize them.

Lin Dong took a quick glance and went backstage.

The backstage is also a shooting location, where you can record short videos, behind-the-scenes, or place advertisements.

Huang Da'an has arrived.

I was reviewing my jokes there.

Except for Lin Dong, he was unfamiliar with everyone else. Without this well-written joke, he wouldn't be able to complain at all.

The joke was sent to him a few days ago.

He is reviewing it now.

Maybe he thought this thing was quite interesting, so Huang Da'an was laughing while memorizing it.

It seemed that he had already imagined how others would collapse after being complained about by him - he didn't even think about how, since the jokes in his hands were so cruel, how could the jokes in other people's hands to criticize him be so gentle.
