I'm almost a Muggle

In fact, Lin Dong also had concerns.

The man in front of him had just released a movie this year with a rating of 3.8.

It’s really hard to say what kind of drama it can produce.

Maybe he will become a bad actor like Huang Da'an due to the consequences.

In the entertainment industry at this stage, bad movies are rampant and it is difficult to guard against them. Liu Furong, Louis Koo, Li Feihong, etc. have all been affected by it.

But Lin Dong still took over the role.

First of all, he had been trained in Nantes for half a year, and he had no resistance to the role of a military man.

Secondly, he is an Auror, a "policeman" who walks on the edge of life and death all day long and may be harvested by dark wizards at any time.

This time and space is a peaceful era, and he is in the same danger as before. The closest person is undoubtedly the police officer.

That's why he resolutely refused to allow people like Chen Zuming and Ke to come back.

Moreover, the prototype of this character has been sacrificed.

He wanted to do something to let more people know through the movie characters what this person had done and why he died.

"Okay, welcome!" Huang Jianxin didn't expect Lin Dong to agree so simply.

There have been rumors in the industry that Lin Dong is very picky in selecting scripts.

There are many dramas where he doesn't even pay a high price.

The way others refuse may be to offer a sky-high price. If you don't pay, that's fine. I don't have to act. If you dare to pay, I dare to act. A bad movie will be a bad movie. Who wants to have to deal with money.

Lin Dong's rejection was a clear rejection, and he would not accept any money.

Huang Jianxin knows Lin Dong's identity, and naturally understands that people have the qualifications to be willful. No matter how much you pay, it won't count in their eyes.

So he was mentally prepared and had a set of words ready.

But Lin Dong took the call without saying a word.

"Director Huang, how much money was invested in this film, and who invested in it?" Huang Jianxin didn't mention it, but Lin Dong took the initiative to speak.

Meeting such a director with a record of bad films, Lin Dong asked the system if this film could be submitted.

The system replied, "If you want to vote, just vote."

"Of the total investment of 200 million, Guangjin Pictures invested 80 million, and the rest has not been found yet," Huang Jianxin replied.

"If possible, I can help find the remaining investment." Lin Dong said.

Oh, what are you pretending to be?

You also help find the remaining investments. You are the big boss of Crest. Whether you invest or not is not a matter of your words.

But I am addicted to acting, so I have to cooperate, right?

Huang Jianxin immediately happily added: "That's great. There are no police and gangster movies with more than 600 million yuan. The investment of 200 million yuan is a bit too much, and no one dares to enter."

The two immediately made a tacit agreement to shake hands.

That's how the deal was done.

Lin Dong participated in the show and gave an investment of 120 million. Huang Jianxin just had to wait for Huang Jianxin to find time to go to Crest to sign the contract and get the money.

Lin Dong is going to Pengcheng to film a movie tomorrow, so he may not be able to wait for his arrival at Crest.

In fact, if possible, he is still keen to invest in movies.

At least the movie is not like digging a hole to bury itself. As long as a movie is settled, the box office will be settled immediately. Loss is a loss and profit is a profit. There is no worries at all.

"You guys are moving too fast." Huang Da'an saw the two chatting for a few words, then shook hands and reached an agreement on cooperation, and hurriedly got rid of a group of friends and ran over.

"Haha, Teacher Lin Dong is very cheerful." Huang Jianxin was in a good mood.

"My brother is really relieved. How much did he get cheated?" Huang Da'an asked Lin Dong jokingly.

Lin Dong stretched out one finger on his left hand and two fingers on his right hand.

"Hey~ there are so many, then you are not better than the boss." Huang Da'an started to feel jealous.

Huang Jianxin approached Huang Da'an for investment. Huang Da'an didn't like other people's movies, so he made an excuse and said that the funds were elsewhere, and introduced him to a buddy who liked to invest in movies that others didn't like.

This buddy is Lin Dong.

He thought Lin Dong would invest 30 to 50 million.

30 to 50 million is already quite a lot, and the total investment in many movies may only be 30 to 50 million.

Unexpectedly, Lin Dong paid 120 million.

"Teacher Lin Dong also agreed to play the second male lead." Huang Jianxin originally invited Huang Da'an to win Huang Da'an's financial assistance.

Huang Da'an doesn't want to invest, so naturally he can't act in someone else's drama.

So Huang Jianxin didn't say anything else, he just invited Lin Dong to participate in the show and planned to wait for a while before discussing investment.

Lin Dong was too proactive, and before he even mentioned it, he directly offered 120 million in front of him.

"Congratulations to you two, I wish you a great box office success." Huang Da'an raised his glass.

Lin Dong picked up a can of Fanta on the table and clinked it with their goblets.

Huang Jianxin may have thought that Huang Da'an and Lin Dong would have something to say, so he apologized and reluctantly went to another place.

"Hey, why are you so stupid? You just throw in 10 to 20 million. Did you get 120 million from the strong wind?" Huang Da'an felt particularly guilty.

He felt that he should talk to Lin Dong first. Lin Dong must have been deceived by Huang Jianxin.

"Brother An, let me tell you something. I have a grudge against my money. It's true!" Lin Dong was very serious, but he accidentally made Huang Da'an laugh.

"The film he made is very meaningful, and it would be good to support it. I originally planned to invest 30 million yuan if he really couldn't find the funds, but you robbed it all."

"Didn't you shift your focus to other areas? If there is a movie that you want to invest in, you can directly forward it to me and let me choose first."

How are you two brothers? Lin Dong made friends with Huang Da'an, partly because Huang Da'an is really loyal and gives face to his friends, and partly because he has really good connections.

Maybe I will receive too many bad movies in the future, which will hurt some of my connections.

But at least at this time, Huang Da'an was still a popular figure in the entertainment industry.

"You have so much money, why doesn't Starvc invest more?" Huang Da'an looked resentful. Their Starvc was also short of money, but Lin Dong insisted on holding such a small share and didn't want to take more.

.

"Oh, do I like movies? I really don't understand anything about you." Lin Dong couldn't explain it.

No one would believe it even if I explained it.

You say you are poor?

You told me you were poor!

Let's go together and beat Zhuang Bifan to death.

"There is indeed one, but you have already rejected it, and it's hard to find you there, so you came here to me."

"Who is it?" Lin Dong couldn't remember whose project he had rejected recently.

"Teacher Cao Baoguang."

"Oh, him."

Lin Dong remembered that Kleist had invested in Cao Baoguang's "Girls Thirteen" and made a small loss of several million, and then invested in his "Sunspot" with a cost of 60 million and a total box office of 315 million.

Profit exceeded 40 million.

Boss Lin was so angry that he almost died.

Therefore, when Cao Baoguang approached him with the new script "Chasing the Murderer", Kleist made excuses to reject him.

There was a hugely profitable movie like "Sunspot" before him. In fact, Mr. Cao was not short of investment. That is to say, he gave priority to Kleist because he wanted to invest in two movies in a row.

Since you don't vote, Cao Baoguang will naturally not continue to pester you.

"As for Zhang Zang, it was Teacher Cao who decided on the role from the beginning. Teacher Cao thought he was good in "Dear Child", so he chose him. Later, when the investment was in place, someone wanted to take away the role.

."

"So? What's Mr. Cao's plan?" Lin Dong sighed inwardly, there were too many such things.

I promised you to act, but it doesn't work.

Don't just say it's agreed, even if the contract has been signed, I'll replace you anyway.

Not only will they not give you liquidated damages, but even the apology is just some high-sounding words.

It depends on whether Cao Baoguang can withstand the pressure of capital.

Very few directors are willing to do anything that offends capital. If they only have enough money to eat, they can easily take advantage of you as a director.

"Of course Teacher Cao doesn't want to change. If he really wants to change to someone reliable, who is he?" Huang Da'an actually wanted to use the recently popular term "little fresh meat", but he felt that he was in no position to use it.

, because I am also a little fresh meat.

"You mean we clear the place and get rid of that capital?" Lin Dong understood.

"It's not easy for me to do this. Alas, we are all friends." This is where Huang Da'an is in trouble. He has friends on both sides.
