I’m Almost Losing to a Muggle

After hanging up the phone, Pei Qianlong remembered that Mr. Lin was still sitting in his office.

I seemed to forget myself just now.

I'm sorry, I didn't sleep well last night, and I'm a little dizzy.

I'm in a bad mood, I can understand. Lin Dong nodded heavily.

Sympathy is impossible to sympathize with.

Miss Na is very nice.

He is not worthy of a bad guy like Eunuch Pei.

Phew, I feel much better now. Eunuch Pei breathed a sigh of relief.

If you are unhappy, don't be sulking, don't blame yourself, and don't use your bad mood to hurt the people you care about.

At this time, as long as someone is more unhappy than you, you will be happy.

So, that small investor was also arranged by you? Lin Dong recalled the events of the past few days, and he could probably figure it out.

He easily saw the shadow of Pei Qianlong from the clues of this matter.

This method is really too vicious.

Pei Qianlong found a small investor and asked him to sue Zhifei.

Then I found other big investors and promised to give them some shares of Shanhai 2 so that they could find trouble with Zhizhifei.

These so-called big investors are actually not that big.

The film is said to have a total investment of 25 million, of which 19 million was invested by many people, and 6 million was crowdfunded.

Now it has only won a total box office of less than two million, and it is simply a loss that cannot be lost.

These investors, if you tell him, I will give you 1% of the investment quota for Shan Hai 2, they will run away happily.

Let him yell at whoever he yells at.

Mr. Lin, didn't you say that there are too many bad movies? If you want to reduce the number of bad movies, this is a good way. Pei Qianlong is obviously not a person who is motivated.

He might be in a bad mood.

But if Zhifei is really serious about making movies, even if there is some misunderstanding between the two parties, leading to Zhifei thinking that the cat factory has lowered the rating, then the lawsuit will be sued.

Eunuch Pei is stingy, but he won't vent his anger on the innocent.

It's a pity that this is not a movie shot by Zhizhifei, it's a PPT.

Just take a PPT and forget it.

Relying on the fact that I have some things at home, I just want to touch porcelain indiscriminately.

This is not only ignorance of the heights of heaven and earth, but also extremely shameless.

Most importantly, Lin Dong told him annoyedly that bad movies are too disgusting.

This is not bad!

If you make a bad movie, just make a bad movie, you are so disgusting to our boss.

How much is our boss's mood worth, do you make it?

Our boss has a lot going on every day.

He needs to worry about the development of each business department, whether the funds of each department are sufficient, and whether the technology designed by the cat factory can develop according to plan.

It is no exaggeration to say that the mood of our boss is related to the entire technology industry.

You're a bad filmmaker, you deserve death.

As a result, Zhifei, who was flying straight at first, was immediately full of troubles, and a collective complaint from investors flooded the son of destiny.

Will this reduce bad movies? Lin Dong was not too optimistic.

Mr. Lin, you have been with many crews and directors. You should know the situation of the crews better. I remember that you have dealt with some people yourself. Pei Qianlong took out some materials from his desk and showed them to Lin Dong.

He can understand the boss's pessimism, but he doesn't think these are problems.

It doesn't matter if there are fewer bad movies, at least these bad movies won't disgust our boss.

If the investment loses money, an audit is required.

So, will there be fewer bad movies?

No one knows this.

But it must be admitted that some producers or directors actually knew that they were making bad movies from the very beginning.

There are also some investors who know that they are investing in bad movies.

But they still invest.

Don't mention those who pay.

These production and production companies are just to promote their own stars. Although they have lost money investing in movies and TV shows, they can get it back elsewhere.

Moreover, they are not the only ones who invest in movies.

Instead, go around fooling around.

Even social crowdfunding funds for shooting.

This is the case for Golden Sparkle: Chasing Dream Entertainment Circle. Of the 25 million, 19 million was invested by many people, and 6 million was crowdfunded.

Those who lead the project may only get very little money.

But in the process of shooting, they can get a lot of benefits from the production cost.

It can be understood that the money they invested has been paid back and even generated profits during the production process.

After the film was released, the box office was dismal, and the investment was in vain.

That is also a loss of money for those who have been fooled.

Some production companies even rely on this to survive, otherwise why would there be so many movies coming out every year.

Take 2016 as an example.

A total of 772 feature films, 49 animated films, 67 scientific and educational films, 32 documentary films, and 24 special films were produced throughout the year, totaling 944 films.

Among them, less than 400 films were released in theaters with box office checks, accounting for 42%.

In other words, nearly 60% of the films produced have never been released.

This ratio hardly exceeds 50% every year.

Most of these movies, a considerable part of them are used to defraud investors of their money.

This is the root cause of so many bad movies.

Now, the investors of Golden Glitter·Dream Chasing Entertainment Circle demanded a thorough investigation of the crew's income and expenditure.

Then, the financial statement given by the main creator is obviously questioned.

There will be a professional team to verify.

In front of a professional team, many things will be unearthed.

Sky-high prices for props, nine hundred yuan for a bucket, four thousand yuan for a piece of ice, two million yuan for a small shed...

Or if you rent a car for three days, if you write it as thirty days, the rent will be doubled.

There is no problem with other people's invoices.

The rental company has a clear door and is very cooperative.

There are also sky-high pay and dividends.

Give the actor a high salary. For example, if the actor is originally worth 1 million, then we will give 5 million. Then we will take 3 million of the 5 million and leave 2 million for the actor. The actor should not be dissatisfied.

Who would have trouble with money?

Intermediary kickbacks are also money that can be manipulated.

The photography team, or props, stage art, sound, lighting, etc.

If I use yours, you have to give me money.

In addition, there are announcements.

This is even more difficult to grasp the price, because it is a transaction between people.

And these price differences are not only a matter of money, but also affect the quality of the entire movie because of shoddy goods.

With a cost of 20 million, you only use 2 million to make a movie, and the remaining 18 million to buy a suite.

It's a ghost that Nima can make a good movie.

There are thousands of movies a year, and bad movies account for at least 90%.

Investors demand verification and have doubts about the accounts. Why can't they verify? If there is a problem with how to verify, then those involved will have to compensate for the losses. Pei Qianlong took it for granted.

In some respects, he is actually more idealistic than Lin Dong.

Of course, his idealism is based on means and plans.

If all movies that lose money are required to be audited, then no one will dare to start a movie project in the future. Lin Dong is not without worry.
