I'm almost a Muggle

Before Lin Dong could hesitate for long, Shen Yuduo came directly to the door.

After a drama performance, Shen Duo invited Lin Dong to dinner.

Boss Lin would never refuse a meal, as long as he was not allowed to foot the bill.

Ten million worth?

What's wrong with a net worth of 10 million? If you have such a hungry stomach, you are more stingy than him. You might even pretend to be drunk to avoid paying the bill when eating at a roadside stall with friends.

"Please introduce me to the leaders of your company. I'd like to make an investment."

"Which leader do you want to meet?" Lin Dong asked while immersed in eating.

Tell me who you want me to betray.

If there is anyone who can't solve the problem with one meal, then you can treat me to another meal.

"Anyone who can make the decision is fine. Give us some money and we will make a movie about "Charlotte." Actually, I originally wanted to find director Du, but he was filming in seclusion and even turned off his mobile phone."

Shen Yuyu still doesn't know Lin Dong's status in Crest Culture Media.

It is similar to what most people think. They just think that Lin Dong is an artist highly praised by Krest Culture Media.

At most, they have some shares or something, like Huang Da'an in Zhongyou Media.

That's why there are those shady people who are being supported and have financial backers.

Lin Dong finished the last plate, wiped his mouth and said, "Actually, just ask me, I still have some face in the company."

"Ah? We have a good relationship. We have performed together for 20 or 30 times. You can talk to the company and ask them to give you some money to make the movie." Shen Yuyu was overjoyed.

"Why don't you make happy twists with your own money?" Lin Dong didn't understand.

"We don't have any money. The company has always done dramas. You have seen the income from dramas, so now we are looking for money everywhere. People in the theater troupe are thinking of ways."

"Brother Shen, there are only two of us here. If you keep talking secretly, then I have to leave."

Lin Dong really planned to stand up and leave.

Eat and wipe clean, what are you waiting for before leaving?

"Hey, don't go, don't go, I said, I said." Shen Duduo quickly grabbed Lin Dong.

"Okay, I listen," Lin Dong said: "Brother Shen, we have been acting in plays together for a month or two. Our friendship is not as good as that of the old people in your original team, but don't think of me as such. An outsider."

"Okay, first of all, I have to admit that the company has money, but it's not much, at least not enough to support this movie."

Shen Yuduo was indeed honest.

In fact, this is not too much. Unless everyone in this world has something to say, honest people will definitely be eliminated.

For example, if you say directly to your boss, boss, I think you are a pig.

Or you say to the girlfriend you just talked to, I think you are ugly, and I can’t find a girlfriend...

Or you go and tell a girl directly, I want to...

"How much did it cost to make this movie?"

Lin Dong himself is an actor in a theater troupe. He estimates that the production alone will cost 30 million yuan.

"It should be 20 million anyway, and the promotion and distribution are about the same. Nowadays, if a movie is not announced and distributed, it means giving it away. If the budget is more generous, it will be 50 million in total."

What Shen Yudu said this time was similar to Lin Dong's estimate.

"Happy Twist Don't have 50 million?"

After all, it is a big company in the drama circle. It has been established for more than ten years, and it can be regarded as a company that has achieved the ultimate in commercializing drama.

"We have 50 million, but we can't invest them all. Who dares to bet like that!"

Shen Dudu was very puzzled that Lin Dong actually asked such a question.

Happy Twist can get 50 million, but it is very difficult to take it out.

If I take out 50 million, I will be compensated.

Then everything really starts from scratch.

The entertainment industry has been developing at a rapid pace in the past two years. If you are too late, you will fall behind, not to mention that it took ten years to build up a stall and you have to start from scratch.

"Wait a minute, why do you feel like you have to pay?" Lin Dong suddenly felt a little excited in his heart.

He also felt that "Charlotte's Misery" had a low chance of making money. After all, the play obviously had a comedy core, but it was packed with all kinds of bitter satire.

If "Talk Show" has a laugh every twenty seconds, then "Charlotte" has a very serious social issue every three minutes.

There are education aspects, family and marriage aspects, and life matters.

There are a lot of things that simply cannot be translated into the movie.

Because it won't be reviewed.

And once it is pinched off, it will cause a separation between the plot and character growth.

I don’t know if it’s because he has participated in the show too many times, but Lin Dong increasingly feels that the jokes in this show are a bit embarrassing.

"They are not willing to let the director's position go to outsiders. The two directors have to take over personally." Shen Yuduo gave another message.

"Didn't you say you wanted to hire a director before?" Lin Dong was surprised.

The two writers and directors of the current drama have never directed movies before and have always been in the drama circle.

"They want to direct it, and the company is willing to train their own directors. This movie does not seek to make money, as long as it does not cost too much. The main thing is to build a reputation first." Shen Duduo has been with the company for ten years, so he can be said to be pretty good. It's time to talk.

"Where's the starring role?" Lin Dong asked.

This is the point.

Although there are some dark horses at the box office in the film industry every year, it is still possible to make money without big productions and big casts.

But you can't generalize.

That kind of thing is just a special case. Statistically speaking, looking at the global film market, large-scale productions with big casts are an iron rule.

"If nothing goes wrong with the starring role, it will be me and Ma Li." Shen Duduo said.

"No accident?" Lin Dong didn't understand.

For the starring role in the movie, Shen Duduo agreed to 60 national tours.

Even if we perform one performance a day, it will take two months to complete the sixty performances. Under normal circumstances, it will take at least three months.

"The company only plans to spend 10 million to make this movie, and the rest needs to be found. If I can find the money, the protagonist will be safe. If I can't find the money, it will be hard to say." Shen Duoyi scratched his head.

Even though he is already somewhat famous in movies.

But in the end, it still cannot resist the power of capital.

So what if it has been agreed in advance? If the company says it will compensate you next time, can you still fall out with the company?

"In other words, this movie still needs 40 million."

Lin Dong's heart was full of entanglements, not because he didn't have 40 million.

In fact, although there are only seven to eight million in the system account.

But there are 250 million in the company account.

This money won't be spent all in a while, so you can use it to invest in movies first.

What he was struggling with was whether the movie could be compensated.

There is no way to ask about this kind of thing, and there is no way to get any guarantee from Shen Duduo.

You ask people to ensure that the movie loses money.

You are a stick.

"I know that 40 million is a lot, and business matters cannot be all based on friendship. What I can make the decision for our Happy Twist is that if this movie makes money, your company can take away all of our Happy Twist movies in the future. 20%.”

You can pull it down.

Whoever makes money wants 20% more. If we make money, we will break up the relationship.
