I’m Almost Losing to a Muggle

This time, Lin Dong came to read the script carefully for two hours.

After confirming the story, the investment strategy department was notified to negotiate the price and sign the contract with the main creator of Love Each Other.

This film has no big cast, no special effects, etc. The total cost of production and publicity is only 30 million—in fact, they have already reduced the investment requirement to 15 million after hitting various obstacles.

10 million production, 5 million publicity.

It is known that Kleist is rich and powerful, so they lion opened their mouths again and raised the fee to 20 million.

As a result, the staff of Kleist's investment strategy department researched their project, re-worked the budget, and then made an investment of 30 million yuan.

In fact, 30 million is also very cheap.

Zhong Kui Fu Mo: Snow Demon Demon Spirit released this year cost 230 million yuan.

Then the box office was only 365 million.

Lin Dong's heart ached for several days. When he was filming Ling Long Bang, the crew was next door, and Yuhuatian and Li Xuexue even came to visit the set.

Unexpectedly, such a powerful project that lost money was just around the corner.

And he didn't even think about participating in it from the beginning to the end.

The cost of 230 million yuan can only be recovered by three times, which is 700 million yuan, and the box office is only 365 million yuan, which means that the movie has lost half of it.

We can give him a simulated settlement.

【Settlement in progress...】

[Project: The movie Zhong Kui Fu Mo: Snow Demon Demon Spirit, the production cost is 230 million, and the total box office is 365 million. According to the investment ratio, you have lost a total of 110 million. Congratulations on your successful loss]

[Since the consumption is not the initial capital of the system, the settlement fee galleon will not be granted]

[After settlement, since the system account funds are not zero, a new round of starting funds will not be issued, and the current fund balance of your system account is 0]

If such a scene can really happen, Lin Dong dares to solve the urgency in his dream when he sleeps.

It is definitely a very easy thing to get home.

Okay, let's go too far.

With 30 million signings for this movie, Lin Dong still has 8 million left.

The eight million yuan may not seem like much, but it can actually buy a good house in the capital. With such a house, the working class will not be like a rootless apple.

Unfortunately, this money cannot be spent on Lin Dong himself.

So he asked the system, if the money was to be sent out as an incentive award, who is more eligible to receive the money now.

The system answered Shi Shanshan.

See you, an officially certified knife-throwing cultist.

This is also something that can't be helped, Lin Dong can't decide who to spend money on.

He is a puppet, a tool man.

Sister Shan, come to my office. Lin Dong dialed the inside line and called Shi Shanshan.

The movie is already under contract.

He didn't want to delay the settlement, so he didn't go to the cafeteria to hold a special commendation meeting.

Boss Lin. Shi Shanshan sat upright after entering, feeling very anxious.

Could it be that his identity as a junior college student was discovered?

Want to settle accounts after autumn?

Shouldn't he be fired?

It's actually not a big deal to ask Sister Shan to come over. It's just that Sister Shan has made outstanding contributions to the company in variety shows not long ago, so she needs to be rewarded.

What Lin Dong said was against his will.

He clearly wanted to kill this person, but in order to spend the extra money, he still had to knock out his teeth and swallow it.

The majestic wizard lord.

What a shame!

thank you boss!

It really was a pleasant surprise.

Shi Shanshan's annual salary is not too much, only two to three million yuan, but if the bonuses are paid every now and then, she can still reach the annual salary of tens of millions.

Not long ago, my cousin was awarded a 20 million sports car by Mr. Lin.

Now it was finally her turn.

After thanking you, I seemed to feel that I was too insincere, so I added another sentence:

Boss Lin, I will work harder in the future!

You go... let's go. How angry.

You cheated me so badly, you have to keep working hard.

Are you afraid that if I breathe too much, it will be harmful to my body?

Okay, Mr. Lin, you don't look very good, you must pay more attention to your body. Shi Shanshan left happily, and immediately went to collect 8 million according to Lin Dong's request.

Well, my wife is also going to buy a sports car.

Although you can't afford 20 million, can ordinary people tell the difference between an 8 million sports car and a 20 million sports car?

After Shi Shanshan left, Lin Dong began to settle the new project.

With an investment of 30 million yuan, Kleist only accounted for 90% of the share, and the leading actor and director could share 10%, which was a profit made in the name of supporting literary films.

The system didn't say anything.

It is estimated that I also feel sorry for the new boss' recent experience.

【Settlement in progress...】

[Project: The movie Love Each Other, with a production cost of 30 million yuan and a total box office of 12.8 million yuan. According to the investment ratio (90%), you have lost a total of 26 million yuan. Congratulations on your success in losing money]

[Since the consumption is not the initial capital of the system, the settlement fee galleon will not be granted]

[The settlement is over, the starting amount of the next round is 7 million, and the current funds in your system account are 11 million (excluding other funds in the company account)]

Sure enough, it's better to be more stable.

This movie was very stable, and as a result, the initial capital was successfully settled.

The requirement for the initial funds to appear is that at the time of settlement, the system funds were zero. When Lin Dong settled, the system funds were exactly 30 million left.

It also requires that the last investment successfully loses money.

Between Love lived up to high expectations.

With an investment of 30 million yuan, only 12 million box office came back, and a loss of 26 million yuan.

There is only 4 million return money left, plus the newly issued system initial funds, it is exactly 11 million. Of these funds, 7 million of the money can be settled after the loss of Galleon.

Lin Dong successfully fought a beautiful turnaround this time.

Sweeping away the depression of many days.

Even the second brother Guan who is in the office looks much more handsome.

With an initial capital of 7 million in his hand, Lin Dong will be much more cautious, and will never make the mistake of acting rashly in the past.

For the seven million yuan, the Tathagata Buddha must be invited... Ahem, it is an ace director.

Mr. Wang Zheng is still working on his monster biography. He heard that he chose Xiao Xianrou, and he called and complained not long ago, saying that Xiao Xianrou couldn't even memorize his lines well, and his acting skills were even worse.

Lin Dong can only feel sorry for this, it is absolutely impossible for him to run to the rescue.

In this way, Wang Yingjun is the only director that Lin Dong thinks of immediately.

Kleist has already invested in two of his films, each of which performed very stably. Although Wang Yingjun tried his best to commercialize it, he just couldn't take that step.

The production cost of the second Runner was 32 million, with a total box office of 11.5 million. The release date was September last year.

Together with Du Qixi's Poor Way, it was shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Venice International Film Festival, which cleared up the rumors that the current bamboo chair doesn't like Chinese films.

It's been more than half a year, and I haven't seen him come to the door. Is it embarrassing?
