I’m Almost Losing to a Muggle

If someone gave you 10,000 yuan and asked you to call him dad, would you call him dad?

What, you shout?

Fuck, I can't continue talking today, you have to be reserved, you have to refuse.

Then I asked, if someone gave you one million and asked you to call him dad, would you call him dad?

At this time, you can nod in cooperation.

The prize money of the special literary award is so generous.

One million in bonuses alone.

And there is an investment contract. If it is a script that no one invests in, Cat Factory will directly invest in it for you.

The premise is that you can be selected.

Lin Dong won't bother with other awards, except for the three winning films of this award, which must be decided by him.

They have one thing in common, that is, losing money.

The first award-winning work is Killed a Sheep.

The film is adapted from the short story Killer by Tsering Lobu and the short story Killed a Sheep by Wanma Caidan. It tells the story of redemption and letting go caused by a revenge incident.

The movie hasn't started shooting yet.

I took the project book and came to participate in the awards.

Regardless of the reason for the award, the fundamental reason for his award is that Lin Dong thinks it can lose money.

There is no doubt about this.

It's a pity that he can't invest in such films.

The reason is very simple.

Everyone knows that there is no market for this movie, and even if it loses money, it doesn't have much technical content.

In this case, there will not be many Galleons in the settlement.

Initial capital is too precious.

Boss Lin didn't dare to use it easily, so he was willing to spend all of it on these one-star garbage projects.

Wealth is still in danger.

There were two people on stage to accept the award, one was the director Wanma Caidan.

I will not mention Wanma Caidan, a minority director who is very talented, but he has nothing to do with commercial film directors.

The other person on stage was Wang Jiawei.

Yes, it is the Wang Jiawei who half of the entertainment industry followed him and said I like it very much, and it is also the Wang Jiawei who has not moved for several months after Lin Dong slapped him.

It's not that he doesn't want to make noise.

But he really couldn't help it.

No matter how much they don't want to admit it, their time has indeed passed.

A new generation replaces the old.

Gradually, they have lost sight of the market and the entertainment industry.

Status and face are all given by others, if they say no to your face, they won't give you face.

Before offending Lin Dong, half of the entertainment circle would support him with just one sentence.

Big bad movies can blow up.

It's a pity that the current entertainment industry is the entertainment industry of capital.

And Lin Dong is the biggest capital.

He said, I don't like it, he showed his sharpness, and slapped his face in a targeted manner.

Let the entire entertainment circle be silent.

The leading actors in that movie, regardless of whether they are both the best actor and the best actress, they will not be able to receive a single movie this year.

After all, Maochang's distribution channels are too powerful.

There is also a growing theater chain.

Those two things that shut the door on any movie will cut the box office in half.

It was no longer Wang Jiawei's business alone.

After dormant for a long time, he faced two choices, one is to ask a friend to resolve the conflict.

The other is to take the work to participate in the Kleist Cultural Festival.

If Kleist chose the work he sent, it naturally meant that there was no irreconcilable conflict between the two parties.

He is the producer of Crashing to Kill a Sheep.

Otherwise, with his net worth, he doesn't need such a little investment. The production cost of this movie is only three to five million.

Even with the announcement, 8 million is enough.

A small budget.

The reason why he brought the movie over was to test Maochang's attitude.

In other words, test Lin Dong's own attitude.

The special award for literature and art was supposed to be given to Lin Dong.

When it was submitted, the jury also specially marked this relationship. The producer of this film is Wang Jiawei.

If Lin Dong is unhappy with this person, he won't even be nominated.

Lin Dong glanced at it at the time, and replied on the document, My favorite movie is Evil in the East and West in the West.

Li Wen, who has won an Oscar, once said: In making movies, among the directors of my generation, the real genius is Wang Jiawei.

The best evaluation of him may come from his rival Wang Jing. He said, Wong Kar Wai's courage is very admirable. He insisted on walking his way. It is a very difficult road. Let me go. I Maybe not that much courage.

Some people like Carmen in Mong Kok.

Some people like Days of Being Wild.

Some people like Chongqing Forest.

Some people like Happy Together.

Some people think that In the Mood for Love is his last swan song, while some people will push this time point to The Great Master.

Lin Dong's favorite is his Evil in the East and Poison in the West.

When he had nothing to do, he would always watch it repeatedly. In the seven years since he traveled to the present, he has watched it no less than seven times.

Therefore, he has no dislike towards Wang Jiawei.

Circled this after researching the movie Crash a Sheep.

So Crashing to Kill a Sheep became an award-winning work.

Wang Jiawei was relieved when he learned that Crashing a Sheep was nominated-first it was nominated, and then it won the award.

Now the Xiangjiang entertainment circle is dead.

You can get the mainland to eat a lot of food.

This is the largest market in the world, and movies are no exception.

If there is a conflict with Lin Dong.

Even if Lin Dong doesn't personally give orders to make people embarrass him, those who want to curry favor with Maochang will make their own decisions.

Moreover, the plate is only that big, and the others are happy to kick him out completely.

This is how the bans in the entertainment industry often come about.

The biggest punishment is to prevent you from producing new works and make everyone forget you slowly. This is more painful than losing your reputation.

Some people, obviously being framed, still suppress you so that you can't stand up.

Kneeling and not allowed to get up.

Now, this grievance has been resolved with Lin Dong.

Wang Jiawei and the leading actors of that movie, even if they are unblocked.

The award is the attitude of the cat factory.

Wanma Caidan gave a few testimonials and gave up the opportunity to Wang Jiawei.

First of all, thanks to the cat factory, and thanks to the jury. Of course, he couldn't thank Lin Dong here.

Saying thank you to the cat factory is almost expressing the same meaning.

Many people say that I am a genius. I believe it after talking too much, and gradually forget that I was once kicked out by the major film companies in Hong Kong until I filmed Carmen in Mong Kok. At that time I like Hitchcock, he is the most shy and humble director in Xiangjiang, I thought at the time, I want to be the greatest filmmaker in the world...

Wang Jiawei's speech is more like a statement.

But Du Qixi, who was next to Lin Dong, said that this was like a self-criticism.

A great director who has forgotten his original intention looks back on what he lost.

Perhaps, in the future, we will still almost see Wang Jiawei being able to shoot something that can be called a classic.

I like Quentin, and Quentin likes Wang Jiawei.

Du Qixi said so.

Actually, he is a pretty good director, Lin Dong took over and said, I remember his boss, Deng Guangrong, went bankrupt because of Days of Being Wild.

Is there any cause and effect relationship?
