I'm almost a Muggle

After some on-site investigation and guidance, Lin Dong still had some unfinished ideas.

It's not luxurious enough.

This is just an ordinary movie theater and additional leisure area. How can you tell that this thing cost 100 million yuan.

In other words, why should we limit ourselves to 100 million when we can obviously spend more here?

Is it because this wizard has not learned arithmetic well? Is this convenient for me to calculate?

So, he set off to inspect two other Mao Tail cinemas that were being renovated.

The second one is not far from the bar street. There are bars on the lower floor and a cinema on the upper floor.

The place is smaller than Cinema No. 1, and the land here is a bit expensive.

However, the newly opened cinema is still a landmark building in this area. The advantage is that there is no cinema in the surrounding area for a long distance.

This kind of thing that Tian Dazhuang feels very proud of, in Lin Dong's opinion, is purely to deceive him.

"The people here all pretend to be artsy and fashionable. We need to match their tastes. We will serve the best wine in the bar below and make it a wine-tasting resort that can be counted in the entire capital. Movies can be watched above.

The place is all made into VIP seats, no matter how luxurious it is, and the movies should be chosen that normal people can’t understand.”

But how can business get better like this?

Every fool knows the consequences of doing so.

When you treat others as a fool, others will treat you as a fool.

This probably corresponds to Nietzsche's sentence: "When you stare into the abyss, the abyss is also staring into you."

"Do you know why no one opens a cinema here?"

Several people looked at each other, they really hadn't thought about this problem.

Now think about it carefully, do they think things are too simple?

Is it possible that no one else can see that there are no movie theater business opportunities in this area?

"You don't even think about how expensive this place is. Even if the theater is full every day, how much money can you make?"

It seems like this, oops, I chose the wrong place.

"So, we are going to turn this place into a high-end cinema and bar, and the bar will set an entrance fee!"

How much is appropriate?

"888..."

Well, would anyone spend so much money just to come in and have a drink?

"Oh, your thinking is still superficial. You can't spend 888 to come in and drink a glass of 1888 wine, but that doesn't mean others can't."

Boss, I'm a little dizzy. I really can't believe that rich people are so stupid.

"Movie tickets cannot be priced at the market price. We want to create a movie-watching experience with a unit price of 188."

Only a fool would spend 188 to watch a movie that might only cost 8.8 on sale elsewhere.

And the price management department will definitely have opinions.

"We can add additional services. What are you looking at? I'm very serious."

Okay, boss, you have the final say. We will work hard to build a high-end bar and cinema in the capital, but good wine cannot be purchased just by selling it.

"It's simple. We purchase directly from the place of production. My buddy Huang Da'an is very knowledgeable. Just ask him to introduce some top wineries."

Then there is the third Cat Tail Cinema.

This house was renovated from an old factory, similar to the style of 798. Because the house is so dilapidated, the land price is very cheap.

The style after the renovation is mainly retro literature and art.

This store features a retro style, with a cinema upstairs and a retro-style restaurant downstairs.

It is divided into four parts, a Sichuan restaurant, a Cantonese restaurant, a hot pot, and a barbecue. The decoration style is similar to an elementary school classroom that only exists in memory.

There are also a lot of 80s or 90s memory elements in it.

Don't worry about whether watching a movie on a barbecue grill will affect your viewing experience. As long as you're willing to spend the money, make sure you don't smell any fumes from it.

Lin Dong walked around and was very satisfied with this place. He made a few requirements for this store.

A super chef is a must.

If you want to get a good reputation, you have to spend money. Don't be afraid of spending money.

Use the highest quality ingredients.

Vegetable prices are not cheap either.

However, some one-off cards can be introduced.

Each employee of our company can receive one, including the boss.

I went around in a circle and squandered countless bad ideas.

Lin Dong didn't know how effective these bad ideas could be in achieving the goal of "destroying his own industry", but he really tried his best.

He doesn't have that much time to study either.

Because Penguin Video settled the money for the second season of "Tucao Show" in advance at Kleist's request.

It's not that they abide by the trading rules, or that they cherish Kleist as a partner, it's just that they don't dare to make Kleist feel the slightest bit difficult.

After all, the contract for the third season has not been signed yet.

Kleist has every right to hand over the third season of this variety show to other platforms.

In fact, at least three platforms have extended their offers, offering at least a 30% premium over what Penguin Video offered.

In other words, Penguin Video settled this time with Kleist for 643.9 million.

Other platforms can give at least 837 million, which is nearly 200 million more.

Zhang Sanpang is ready to make a move. He and Penguin Video really didn’t have much affection from their cooperation. Money is the only criterion for measuring his success.

His goal in life is to help Lin Dong make money.

Earn as much money as possible to repay Lin Dong for his kindness.

I remember that back then he could only play minor roles on the set, which was a shame for a Nortel acting student.

He repeatedly ran into obstacles when looking for other jobs. People simply regarded him as a liar. After all, you look like this, how could you possibly get into Nortel?

No one knows what Nortel was thinking at the time.

It is probably to prevent the outside world from saying that they control their appearance. With such an ugly comparison as Zhang Sanpang, no one can say that Nortel only cares about looks.

It was Lin Donghui who discovered his talent in variety shows with a quick eye.

He became a well-known boss in the entertainment industry.

If you can earn an extra 200 million, why refuse?

Lin Dong was so frightened that he almost peed. He hurried over and scolded him in person, accusing Zhang Sanpang in a stern voice of forgetting his original intention and the qualities that a big shot in the entertainment industry should have.

We can't lose our moral integrity just because of money.

If everyone regarded money as the principle of all actions, this entertainment industry would be so dirty and boring.

Now that we have cooperated with Penguin Video, we must stick to it.

No price increase required.

What, Penguin has already agreed to increase the price, how can this be done? Hurry up and reply to them. If they increase the price, they are looking down on us, Crest.

Once the money was in place, the "Monster Catching" project officially began to restart.

Jiang Zhigang successfully got out of this project, and all of Kleist's debts were paid. In fact, Lin Dong transferred the money to the company's account after completing the settlement.

At this time, the total funds in his system account were 1.7724 billion.

The last time the two movies had a total box office of 5.4 billion, based on a 35% investment share, the total was 1.89 billion. After deducting costs, the total was 1.19 billion.

Then there is a cultural fund deduction of 5% of the box office.

The settlement amount is 1.1285 billion. Because it is the data after removing the costs, the money settled by the variety show still has to be added back.

Exactly as many as 1.7 billion.
