I’m Almost Losing to a Muggle

I don't need the director's fee... Yang Lu didn't know where Lin Dong was in trouble.

Is it because you are worried about losing money?

Investors are worried about losing money, and rightly so.

He also won't guarantee that the movie will definitely make money, which is not something the director can guarantee at all.

It's okay to cheat lay investors.

Film and television investment tycoons like Lin Dong would never believe this.

All the movies Boss Lin invests in are Special Wolf Warrior 2, Shushan, Mountain and Sea, Monster Hunt and so on.

You make a martial arts movie, and you say there are 3 billion, isn’t that the owner of the family, Lin, is an idiot?

Therefore, he can only consider it from the perspective of reducing costs.

We don't want the director's fee.

This can be saved.

10% of the investment amount, I keep up, if I lose money, my own money will also lose.

I will try my best to discuss the remuneration of the actors.

Get rid of this old face.

I'm trying to spend 70 to 80 million to make this movie, even if it's only the box office of the second one, I won't lose money.

With a box office of more than 200 million yuan, it is actually not a loss.

Uh... Lin Dong couldn't refuse.

He is in his forties or fifties, and he is still an honest person who is serious about filming.

Is it possible to kneel down for yourself?

Maybe even Master Wizard didn't realize it, but he is actually a very soft-hearted person.

When he was in the wizarding world, if he met a dark wizard who was justifiable and didn't do much evil, he would even secretly forgive him.

After arriving here, when he met a truly respectable filmmaker, even if he knew that he would continue to make money, he would try his best to arrange it.

Director Yang, it's not about money. In fact, if I come to invest, you have to make the cost more than 150 million. Master Wizard finally relented.

But he made his own demands.

This request sounds very absurd, and very few investors would make such a request.

But Yang Lu understood.

Yang Lu knew Lin Dong, and knew that Lin Dong also loved movies very much.

When he was filming the role of Jin Yichuan, he set strict demands on himself.

Therefore, he also hopes that he has stricter requirements for this movie.

Get up wherever you fall.

The second part lost money, so the third part should learn from the lesson and strive to bring out some new ideas in this kind of traditional martial arts.

Thank you, I will definitely do it, and I will not disappoint your expectations. Yang Lu was moved to tears.

150 million!

This is the promise given by Teacher Lin Dong.

This is Teacher Lin Dong.

Other investors will say, you want 110 million, but I can only give you 70 million.

Then blah blah blah~

This place can save a little bit, and that place doesn't have to be so good, anyway, the audience is badass.

Director Yang, what are you talking about with our teacher Lin Dong? Du Qixi came back.

He decisively changed out of the wine red outfit.

There was no trace of make-up on his face, and he was wearing a slightly fat jacket, showing his nerdy qualities.

Well, old otaku.

The kind that looks similar to Yang Lu who is forty or fifty years old.

Director Du! Yang Lu heaved a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, before Director Du came back, he gave Teacher Lin Dong a strategy.

This director Du looks easy to talk, but in fact he is not easy to fool at all.

He clearly pointed out that Jinyiwei is a good drama, but the ceiling is too obvious, and the movie has a strong personal touch. If there is no breakthrough, it will only have a box office of 500 million at the top.

Yang Lu couldn't find a reason to refute.

Because he and Du Qixi's views coincided with each other.

Lin Dong briefly explained the matter, and finally ordered: Go back and invest in Director Yang, and you can help out if you have nothing to do.

The two have nothing to do with the director style, helping will only help.

To raise the bet, it must be increased to 200 million to have an effect. After hearing this, Du Qixi gave some thoughts of his own.

From the requested 110 million to 150 million.

But this is a palliative, not a cure.

He believes that only by adding a production cost of 200 million yuan can it be truly possible to produce works of a higher standard.

In order to break the ceiling of this kind of historical martial arts drama.

Okay, just 200 million! Lin Dong looked at Du Qixi and felt that this guy was really his own crouching dragon and phoenix.

Two hundred million... is a bit much... Yang Lu was almost taken aback.

Director Yang, you have to know how to spend the money. Du Qixi put his arm around Yang Lu's shoulders and started working.

Understood, I understand! Yang Lu nodded repeatedly.

Du Qixi once published an article on this matter in a professional film journal.

The content is similar to what the most cost should be spent on.

The article continues the Mao Factory's consistent salary limitation style.

Treating extra pay to actors as the most meaningless strategy for a movie.

Earn 5 million in two months, hundreds of millions in a year, you say this is called making money by ability?

Some scientists have researched something that benefits all mankind. Do they have five million?

People live in a better dormitory, and they will get sprayed if they touch a sports car.

Of course, Yang Lu will not add the cost to the salary.

He would rather wait for the movie to become a big hit, then brazenly ask Maochang to give the actors big red envelopes.

As for whether the actors agree...

A director without money is a grandson, and a director with money is an uncle.

If Yang Lu has 200 million yuan and can play to his fullest, he really doesn't care if some actors play big names.

You are not willing to act, but some people are willing.

Moreover, this is a movie invested by Maochang.

Cat Factory never treats anyone badly.

As we all know, when Maochang invests in movies, overseas box office and copyright are not necessary.

This part of the money, as long as the director does not eat alone, and distributes it to the main creative team casually, it will make everyone have a good year.

I'll introduce some people to you later on. They are all experts in production and distribution. In fact, it doesn't cost a lot of money. Du Qixi is very familiar.

Because he rejected Yang Lu and Lin Dong chose Yang Lu, he would not feel ashamed.

Thank you so much. Yang Lu said sincerely.

If Jinyiwei 2 can have the distribution channel of Maochang, maybe it won't have to lose money.

At that time, it encountered a double attack from Maochang and Marvel.

He became the cannon fodder in the struggle between two tigers.

Now, we have the cat factory as our backer, even if Marvel comes, we dare to touch the tiger's butt.

It has always been the cat factory that forces others to change their schedules.

How about, let's go in, it's almost time. Du Qixi pulled Lin Dong and left.

It made all the people who wanted to grab Lin Dong's hands feel embarrassed.

Du Qixi is just a fool.

Old stuff, very bad!

As for Du Qixi, he actually felt that his boss was a bit stupid.

Get fooled at every turn.

Like Yang Lu, can he not find investors?

He's just too high-sighted.

Generally, he looks down on investors who ask too much.

How can there be such a good partner as Cat Factory, which does not have too many requirements, but also integrates various channels such as distribution channels, screening channels, and publicity channels.

Moreover, he probably didn't want to be the number one female casually.

The boss is too soft-hearted, so he needs subordinates like him to be stronger. It is also an honor to be qualified to help the boss block the gun.

Lin Dong doesn't have much seat, he can sit wherever he wants.

Du Qixi pulled him, and he sat with Du Qixi. The two had been friends for so many years. Although they looked like father and son, they were actually like brothers.
