I'm almost a Muggle

Chapter 024 Crayfish

"No problem, I'll take care of it."

Du Qixi was both moved and happy.

Naturally, he was moved because the master entrusted him with such a great responsibility, and happy because he could brag about it everywhere.

The peak of life is nothing more than this.

Eat at the same table with your idol.

As a member of the financing team, I invested in a movie.

The boss keeps giving him important tasks...

His family was actually worried that he would not be able to find a job!

I'm worried that he won't be able to support himself by making movies.

If you knew all this, your jaw would definitely drop.

How blind do bosses have to be to value their sons so much?

I don’t know whether Lin Dong is blind or not, but it is true that he does not hold grudges.

Yesterday he was scolding Xu Lang in the office. Today Xu Lang called him out to eat, and he came over immediately.

The location is in Sanlitun near his company.

A quite high-end store.

There is no problem of celebrities being photographed while traveling.

Those so-called celebrities captured on their travels actually have too many traces of artificial arrangements.

Each and every one of them is as beautiful as a fairy.

The lighting, angles and poses are all the work of the photographer.

Not only is the photo taken, but all kinds of editing is still needed.

Under normal circumstances, as long as they are not professional paparazzi, ordinary people may not be able to recognize celebrities even if they meet them.

After all, stars in real life and stars on screen look very different.

Xu Lang only wore one hat.

The two people who came with him were wearing sunglasses and looked like bodyguards.

After taking off the mirror, Lin Dong recognized their identities.

One is Wang Shunliu and the other is Zhou Bo.

I can recognize these two buddies.

Or is it the result of Lin Dong's excessive knowledge of the entertainment industry these days.

In the morning, Xu Lang persuaded Zhou Bo to participate in the film.

Then Wang Shunliu was also in Beijing, so he decided to come out and have a meal together.

How could he forget about Lin Dong when it came to eating?

Wang Shunyou and Zhou Bo naturally did not object to dining with such a big benefactor as Lin Dong.

They just didn't expect Lin Dong to be so young.

It can be said without ambiguity that Lin Dong is still a child in their eyes.

The movie "It's Not Easy" was inevitably mentioned again at the dinner table.

"Brother Xu, you have gone too far!"

When Lin Dong was mentioned about something sad, he couldn't help but criticize the bald man.

"Hey, where did I go too far?" Xu Lang didn't understand.

"You invited me to dinner in a small restaurant, but you invited them to such a big hotel. Isn't that too much?"

Lin Dong is of course looking for trouble.

You made me earn 1.3 billion.

I just want to quarrel with you.

Not only do I want to quarrel with you, I also want to beat you.

Others laughed.

No one thinks he really cares about this.

I just thought he was straightforward and had a good relationship with Xu Lang, so he made such a joke.

Although I didn’t drink, I could still get warm by chatting like this.

Unlike the other three people who were unsure about the movie, Lin Dong already knew how much box office this movie would have.

Therefore, he suggested that Wang Shunyou and Zhou Bo invest their remuneration into the film, and as members of the management team, they also participate in the box office share.

Wang Shunliu's salary is 2 million, and Zhou Bo's salary is 3 million.

Zhou Bo didn't hesitate at all and nodded in agreement.

In fact, he did not expect to get paid immediately.

He knew that Xu Lang was short of money.

It doesn't matter whether you give it early or late.

Originally, I just wanted to help out of friendship.

Wang Shunliu was a little hesitant.

Just because he gets paid does not mean that his relationship with Xu Lang is not good.

After all, the remuneration is also part of the production cost. The investors are the ones who pay the money and have nothing to do with Xu Lang.

He is not in a hurry to get the 2 million, but he has doubts about this sequel.

If he lost the money, he would lose even 2 million.

All three of them have a dream of becoming directors.

Especially after filming Mr. Tree this year, Wang Shunyou has become more determined to become a director and make films.

But it's not easy for an actor to become a director.

The most important thing is to film the first scene.

Let the capital side see that you have the talent to be a director and the ability to make money, and you can help them make money.

As for this first film, many new directors filmed it with their own money.

"Well, this is up to you."

Lin Dong didn't care much.

What Wang Shunliu chooses is his own business.

But when he found out that the box office of the movie he starred in was close to 1.3 billion, but he could only get a salary of 2 million, he felt that he was unlucky no matter how bad the difference was.

"Dongzi, how much box office do you think this movie can have?"

Wang Shunyou felt that Xu Lang was a big liar.

As long as we work hard and make high-quality movies, we might have a box office of 300 million.

Three hundred million?

You really dare to think that the previous movie we both played in didn't even have a box office of 40 million.

"It should probably exceed one billion."

Lin Dong suddenly felt that the braised pork in his mouth was a little bitter, but actually he felt even more bitter in his heart.

"One billion?" Zhou Bo was the first to laugh. This guy really dared to think about it.

Xu Lang was also a little embarrassed. He had already told Dali of the 300 million yuan.

Lin Dong must be crazy.

Wang Shunliu's education level is not high, but he is a smart man, extremely smart.

Xu Lang said it could be 300 million, and investors are optimistic about 1 billion. No matter who is right, it means that the film will at least not lose money.

"Bald man, I have put all my wealth on you. If you dare to compensate, I will kill you."

Wang Shunliu slammed the table and announced that he had become one of the investors of the film.

The ratio is also easy to calculate. I just calculated it yesterday.

Xu Lang himself received 3 million, plus his director's share of 18.2%.

Zhou Bo took 3 million and accounted for 8.2%.

Wang Shunliu's salary was 2 million, and he even spent another 1 million to make up 3 million, which also accounted for 8.2%.

This leaves only 35% for Lightsaber Media.

I don’t know what their boss thought after knowing the result.

Xu Lang didn't care anymore.

If this movie can really reach a box office of 300 million or even 1 billion, 35% will still make Lightsaber a huge profit.

Presumably Light Sword can take out the money more confidently, after all, the compensation can't be much.

More than 10 million, small money!

What can bring people's hearts together is definitely not pure emotion.

It's about common interests.

At least on the surface, the four people eating have formed a community of interests.

Everyone's common goal is to make this movie well and sell it well.

Even if Lin Dong felt bitter in his heart, he couldn't express it.

All the grievances can only be kept in the heart, and then turn into appetite.

As we chatted, we talked about the upcoming Shanghai International Film Festival.

Xu Lang wanted to prepare a new movie, and since there were no new films shortlisted, he naturally didn't plan to go.

However, both Wang Shunyou and Zhou Bo will attend.

Lin Dong said that he would also go.

"Then you can leave with us a few days early, and I will take you to eat crayfish."

Wang Shunliu extended the invitation.

"crayfish?"

After traveling through time, I have always stayed in this one-third of an acre in the capital.

Lin Dong thinks that China is so big and it’s not bad to walk around.

"Yes, the Shanghai International Film Festival is also called the Crayfish Festival. Now is a good time to eat crayfish."

Wang Shunliu also discovered that the big benefactor particularly liked to eat it.

"Then will you treat me to food?"

Lin Dong asked seriously. He only had four to five thousand yuan, so he could save whatever he could.

As for 1.3 billion, that money can be used for investment and consumption within the limits allowed by the system.

But it definitely does not include eating crayfish.

The system has said that you can only use system funds to eat when you are about to starve to death.
