I'm almost a Muggle

Lin Dong's eyes became brighter and brighter.

It is originally a fantasy blockbuster based on the Classic of Mountains and Seas. This thing always makes Lin Dong involuntarily think of Du Qixi's "Strange Stories from Mountains and Seas".

That was Lin Dong's first film in his investment career.

And Xu Chengyi's film cost a full 200 million yuan, which means that the movie box office must reach 600 million yuan to make back the money.

The problem is, the movie now needs to be shot again.

It is not impossible for the cost to double again.

To be honest, Lin Dong is very excited about this project.

He is worried about how to spend the 600 million earned by Zhang Sanpang. Isn't this an excellent opportunity?

We can no longer spend money on theaters, Meow Claws, Meow Ears, and Meow Teeth.

If you spend too much money, if your competitors in these industries are not beaten to death, then the market will belong to your own company.

By then, your website will make a lot of money.

However, the situation of the project "Catching Monsters" is somewhat special, because Jiang Zhigang has already invested 200 million, and this is a project led by others.

Lin Dong chatted with these two people for a while and then went to find Shi Shanshan.

"Sister Shan, help me ask over there if there is any possibility of cooperation."

"Okay, Mr. Lin."

Mr. Shi agreed very simply and went to contact the main figures of the project the next day.

One is director Xu Chengyi, and the other is Jiang Zhigang.

Jiang Zhigang has no interaction with Shi Shanshan or Krest Culture Media, but he has no reason to refuse to meet.

He is someone who deals with these capitals all day long.

What is the nature of capital?

The essence is flies. As long as they smell the smell of meat, they will swarm here.

In fact, during the recent period, to be precise, the period after Ke was arrested in August, many film companies have contacted Yang Zhigang, wanting to get a piece of the pie.

A more normal company wants to take a character named Ke.

Since people with the surname Ke are not popular, why not use our xxx, our xxx is handsome and popular, no worse than the one with the surname Ke.

And for less normal companies, it's too much.

Since your project has gone out of business, why not sell it to me cheaper, we will pay 30 million...

What I made with 20 million, you only want to buy it with 30 million.

Jiang Zhigang was so angry that his stomach hurt.

You can't turn your face directly, you can only refuse politely.

There are also slightly more normal companies that have expressed their willingness to pay for additional filming, but the proportion still makes Jiang Zhigang very depressed.

Taking 100 million and asking for a 50% share is considered normal business negotiation.

The kind of person who wants to take a larger proportion for only 50 million is simply because Jiang Zhigang has no money and takes advantage of it.

On this day, two more people came.

The person who claimed to be from Crest Culture Media said that he wanted to discuss this project with him.

In the past two or three years since the rise of Krest Culture Media, Jiang Zhigang has faded out of the film industry and only recently made a comeback with "Monster Hunting".

But he had still heard of the name of the company Crest Culture Media.

In his opinion, this company is a complete lunatic.

The film and television industry has indeed begun to explode in recent years, but it has not exploded enough to warrant such crazy investment.

And take a look at the projects this company has invested in.

Forget about "It's Not Easy", "New Road" and "The End of the Road", the key point is that there are a lot of money-losing movies in the record list, which is really eye-catching.

If only the people at the helm of the company were half as good as I am...

"Hello, Uncle Gang." Shi Shanshan greeted Jiang Zhigang the way people in the circle would address her. After all, Jiang Zhigang didn't dare call himself Mr.

"Hello, Mr. Shi, this is Teacher Lin Dong. Nice to meet you."

"Yes, I'm Lin Dong." I felt like I was being treated as a follower.

But it doesn’t matter anymore.

It turned out to be a person who didn't know the identity of the boss. Shi Shanshan blinked. Since the boss didn't introduce himself, she pretended not to know.

"I wonder what Mr. Shi and Teacher Lin Dong will take care of when they come this time?"

Jiang Zhigang made tea himself, with skillful and elegant techniques. He was obviously a very particular old man.

"We are interested in the project "Catching Monsters." He obviously didn't want to be polite, so Lin Dong got straight to the point and directly stated his intention.

"Actually, Teacher Lin Dong is also one of the candidates we are considering. If it is convenient, can we get together for a try-on?" Jiang Zhigang pushed a cup of tea in front of Lin Dong.

"Well, actually that's not what we meant." Shi Shanshan felt that she needed to speak.

The other party regards them as people who are looking for the male lead.

The misunderstanding is getting bigger and bigger. If the boss is offended, how can we continue to discuss business later?

"What?" Jiang Zhigang was confused.

Isn't this Lin Dong here to get the male lead role? The guy named Ke has been replaced, and a new male lead has to come up.

"Although he is an actor on the surface, Mr. Lin is actually our boss at Crest. He wants to take over the project of "Catching Monsters". I wonder if Uncle Gang is still willing to change hands now?" Shi Shanshan said her intention in one breath.

"Ah?" Jiang Zhigang looked at Lin Dong and then at Shi Shanshan, not quite believing that this young man was actually Kleist's boss.

Kleist has such a large family fortune. If he owned it, he would be considered a big boss in the film and television industry.

too young!

"It's absolutely true." Shi Shanshan smiled.

"How much do you plan to pay?" Jiang Zhigang calmed his heartbeat and asked in a deep voice.

If you dare to say 30 to 50 million and drive me away directly, even if I sell my blood to continue completing this project, I will definitely not transfer it at a low price.

This time, before Shi Shanshan could speak, Lin Dong grabbed the right to speak: "Uncle Gang, we will give you whatever you spent!"

Shi Shanshan sighed inwardly and closed her mouth.

The boss is really kind.

The original project caused huge losses due to the accident of the male lead, and there was no need for the person who took over to help bear the burden.

For this project, a reasonable acquisition price should be around 100 million. If it exceeds 100 million, it will be a bit of a loss.

It would cost at least 70 to 80 million to reshoot the male lead's scene.

As for the remake of the male lead's scene, other related actors, props, special effects, etc. were also designed, so it would be no problem to add up to 100 million.

"you sure?"

Jiang Zhigang held his breath.

"Sure."

Lin Dong nodded.

"Deal!" Jiang Zhigang breathed a long sigh of relief and looked at Lin Dong with almost grateful eyes.

This movie cost him 200 million to make.

If he could get back 200 million, he would be satisfied.

As for the cost of time, and the connections and connections consumed to assemble the team, we can still take care of that.

What can I do with this money?

One wanted to buy and the other wanted to sell, so Jiang Zhigang summoned all the creatives on the same day.

Shi Shanshan came forward to confirm with everyone the fact that Crest Culture Media had taken over the project. Lin Dong sat beside him and said nothing. Everyone thought that he had brought money into the group to play the male lead.

The finances need to be calculated, but Zhang Sanpang’s variety show funds have not yet been received in Lin Dong’s system account.

Therefore, it will take at least another month to complete the final handover.

However, even though Jiang Zhigang withdrew his capital, he was the one who put together this team, so he happily took over the role of producer, and for this, Woodcrest even gave him a large extra sum of remuneration.

Jiang Zhigang is also kind.

He said that during the period before the handover was completed, he could assist Kleist in restarting the film.
