I'm almost a Muggle

Is it a literary film or a cartoon?

The wizard no longer dares to pursue the conversion rate of gold galleons.

It's simply not realistic.

If you choose literary and artistic films, you can't choose ones that cost too much, as those are pseudo-artistic films.

Lin Dong would rather use the initial capital of 6 million to invest in two low-cost literary films.

However, it was not literary films that came to my door first.

It's an animated movie.

Zhou Bo brought a man named Niu Jian to Lin Dong and said that he had a project and needed money recently.

This movie was not produced, distributed, or...

No, I should say nothing.

It is where the director works silently alone.

Director, screenwriter, original painting, editing, dubbing, poster, post-production...

Niu Jiandu plans to do it alone.

When I was really hungry, I would do some private work to earn money to buy steamed buns, or ask friends to borrow them.

Zhou Bo and Xu Lang accidentally learned about this book.

Then I asked the director if it could be made into a live-action movie and we could star in it for free.

But the director refused, saying that animated movies were his dream.

If you really like it, just give me some money.

I can't live any longer.

Niu Jian is a director who graduated from Jinling Academy of Arts majoring in Chinese painting. He had previously produced animated short films for Ma Da's "Big Shot" and Meng Jinghui's "Flying Like Feathers". It was not until 2007 that he began to try animated feature films, with his debut film "Tingling".

》And thus was born.

Although "Sting" failed to receive the Dragon Award due to failure to register in advance, this unique film has still been recognized by many film festivals and industry insiders.

And this "Big Event" can be seen as Niu Jian's ambitious work aiming to go to theaters.

The movie is set in a small southern town. A series of absurd stories were triggered by the construction site driver Xiao Zhang who robbed a huge sum of 1 million yuan and was chased by people with ulterior motives.

Xu Lang, Xu Lang also thought it was good after reading it.

So I decided to use the name of Huanqu Pictures to invest in this movie.

Wang Shunliu and Ninghai both agreed.

Now we just need to ask Lin Dong for his opinion.

Huanqu Pictures has currently invested in "Where's the Road", which will be released at the end of the month. If it makes money by then, it will be used to invest in "Hong Kong Is Not Easy".

The cost of this animated film was only 10 million, so I just invested in it.

The reason why Lin Dong was solicited for his opinion was that no one was optimistic about this film. Investing in this film, to put it nicely, is to support the healthy development of domestic animated films.

To put it bluntly, this is called poverty alleviation.

Poverty alleviation is different from investment. If you invest, you will gain and lose. If you buy it and leave it, poverty alleviation is simply wasted.

"Xu Lang will pay if he says he will. What if he doesn't?"

Lin Dong heard the words "Everyone thinks they will lose money" so many times that he foolishly believed it at first.

Who knows what he went through.

"Hey, wouldn't it be better not to pay?" How could Zhou Bo understand Lin Dong's brain circuit.

He just wanted to say that he didn't think Lin Dong would care about the loss or gain of 10 million.

"Do you think you will lose money?"

Lin Dong subconsciously felt that this was a good opportunity, but he was also very scared.

"Isn't this obvious? If you make a cartoon but don't allow children to watch it, who will make money from this movie?"

Zhou Bo suspected that Mr. Lin was out of his mind.

Usually such a smart person.

Why are you acting like a fool now?

These words were like an enlightenment.

I am so silly.

real.

Any elementary school student on the roadside can make a judgment.

But just because I was bitten by a snake, I looked forward and hesitated.

How could it be possible to go back like this!

"If you lose money, don't invest in this film." Lin Dong said.

The director sitting on one side became anxious.

Why are rich people so stingy?

This company was opened by five people, and four of them agreed. How come the one who is said to be the richest is not willing to do it?

Zhou Bo told him when he brought him here.

Lin Dong is particularly generous in investment. He invests in more than a dozen films every year, half of which are literary films or animated films.

Since the other four people have agreed, the project is stable.

Fortunately, he heard Lin Dong continue to say:

"Let me vote for this film. Isn't it just 10 million? I'll get it."

"This won't work. You can't lose money on the movie we watched. Ten million is a small amount of money to you, and we can't afford to lose money now."

Zhou Bo was moved, but decided to share the burden with everyone.

"Stop arguing with me. If you treat me as your brother, give this project to me."

"As brothers, I can't trick you."

Peat.

Lin Dong's heart was filled with a sense of powerlessness.

How should he make Zhou Bo understand that he preferred this kind of money-losing business.

Director Niu Jian has been completely confused.

Why are two people vying to invest in a project that is losing money?

Mmp, he really wants a brother like this.

In the end, Lin Dong defeated Zhou Bo and grabbed the project.

His reason is very simple.

I have more money.

I can't spend it all.

And compared with me, you are all poor, so don't argue with me.

A cartoon that children are forbidden to watch.

There is only one director in the entire production team, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

Moreover, because the director paid too much for this project, Lin Dong gave him a 30% share. The system was messed with by him, but he finally agreed.

After all, it's not a big project.

Facts have proved that the wizard made the right bet this time, and the settlement result did not disappoint him.

【Settlement in progress...】

[The project name is the animated film "Big Event", the production cost is 10 million yuan, and the total box office is 2.6 million yuan. According to the investment ratio, you have lost a total of 9.363 million yuan. Congratulations on your successful loss]

[The project is rated two and a half stars, received 31,200 gold galleons, and the current balance is 89,000]

[Settlement is over. Since the system account funds are not zero, a new round of initial funds will not be issued. The current fund balance of your system account is 40 million yuan (excluding other funds in the company account)]

Sure enough, animated movies are still reliable.

With this effort, the starting capital of six million turned into thirty thousand gold galleons.

Although the conversion rate is really low.

But low is better than nothing.

There is still 40 million left in the account. As long as it is lost, the starting capital will be added again.

The starting capital next time should be 7 million.

If you do it again, the gold galleons can break 100,000.

It’s not much different from the 350,000 yuan required to purchase Cloteau’s wishing box.

Lin Dong felt happy.

We strongly invite the cattle guides who haven’t had time to leave to stay and have a casual meal.

People who make animated films are basically the kind of directors who don't listen to what's going on outside the window. They rent a small house in the corner of the city and bury their heads in the making for three to five years.

Ordinary people have no access to them at all.

It is more convenient to find colleagues who work in the same industry. Lin Dong hopes that Director Niu can introduce him to some cartoon directors.
