I’m Almost Losing to a Muggle

It's all small money, brother Qixi, you have to take a longer view...

Every time at this time, Boss Lin felt that he had split into a foolish personality, and instantly entered the foolish mode, and he himself didn't know the content of the foolishness.

What do you think of the current entertainment industry?

The current entertainment industry is pretty good. Du Qixi didn't know why Lin Dong suddenly asked such a high-level question. He thought about it carefully and replied, I haven't paid attention to things like data and financial reports, but I think now The entertainment industry in China is very good, it has never been better.

Brother Qixi, you should study more if you have nothing to do. You can't solve everything by yourself. Lin Dong was very dissatisfied with this answer.

Okay, I'll listen carefully next time when the people below report. Du Qixi nodded solemnly.

He is not just a director now, and he can't just focus on the field of directing.

He has to shoulder the responsibilities of the Kleist film and television production department. As a general manager, he doesn't know the status quo and trends of the industry, and it is easy to make misjudgments. When the time comes, he really loses money, and loses a lot of money. How can he be worthy of Lin Dong? ah.

The current entertainment industry has been spoiled by capital, and sooner or later something will happen...

In recent years, capital hot money has poured into the film and television industry frantically. Through overwhelming marketing trolls, many celebrities and idols with poor professional ability and worrying moral standards have been launched, allowing them to easily grab a huge amount that most ordinary people can't earn in their lifetime. money.

Even the third- and fourth-tier actors also earn sky-high incomes that are much higher than normal citizens.

Spend a lot of money, indulge in extravagance, luxury cars and mansions, everything you expect to find.

Seeing that the film and television market is so hot, and the colleagues in the past are making a lot of money every day and have a lot of money, which practitioner is not impatient?

Therefore, even those old actors who don’t have many fans, and some even have good acting skills and a good reputation in the past, are also desperately throwing themselves into the tide of money grabbing. Bad movies and bad dramas, give them a sedan chair as a match, and build a reputation for them.

It's messed up, it's all messed up.

Today's entertainment industry judges the value of a star, no longer by whether his acting skills are good, how many excellent works he has, what authoritative awards he has won in the past, and how many classic roles he has created.

The core criterion at the moment has become how many diehard fans does he have? How popular is he? How much are his loyal fans and passers-by willing to spend for him to buy the products he endorses?

The film and television industry has also changed from the previous producer-centered system and director-centered system to a big-name star-centered system. The entire crew has to revolve around these stars and become part-time jobs for them.

A movie costs 100 million yuan, and 80 million yuan can be thrown on the stars.

In a short period of time, this crazy entertainment industry is extremely prosperous.

But Lin Dong couldn't get used to it, so even if he raised the salary for the actors in New Shushan, the money spent on the salary did not exceed 30% of the total production cost, which was far lower than other big-budget movies.

In the past, 30 million people could make a film of It's Not Easy, and 8 million people could make a film of Many Days of Broken Love, but now it is impossible to die from exhaustion.

We want to change this trend, so we must invest more in movies with quality and connotation. Making money is not the point, Lin Dongyu said earnestly, Brother Qixi, even if it is liquidated one day, we have so many literary and artistic films under our name. , who can move us?

That's right. Du Qixi seemed to be enlightened, and immediately felt that Mr. Lin was looking far ahead.

Fuck it, cowhide!

The two of them were chatting here, and the prizes had already started to be distributed over there.

Miaoliang Culture Night is not a film festival, nor is it a formal awards ceremony.

Not even the red carpet.

Because it didn't deliberately invite stars at all.

I didn't make any invitations, just let everyone know, and anyone who wants to come can sign up.

Let's check here and make sure that you are not a fugitive, a scammer, or have any obvious bad deeds, and I will send you a letter, which is considered a formal invitation.

The host was Liu Xiaomei, an artist under Kleist, and he hosted the whole show by himself.

The opening remark is to talk about the difficulty of being a literary film worker, and thank you for your hard work in the past year.

Then invite the leader to speak on stage.

Don't get me wrong, this isn't Kleist's lead.

Instead, I invited people from relevant departments. This is the capital, and the cultural departments are gathered together. It is only natural to invite several competent departments to convey the spirit.

Then the awards began immediately.

There are not too many cumbersome procedures, and there are not even awards presenters. Only Liu Xiaomei announces the award-winning films on it, and then the director or producer goes up to accept the award and say a few words.

The first group, the third prize Master. The jury thinks this is the real martial arts arena. I invite Xu Haoran to guide it.

Xu Haoran's film was invested by Kleist, of course he would give it face. In fact, even if it wasn't invested by Kleist, since there is such an event, he definitely wants to participate.

This kind of event is much better than ordinary film festivals.

Even with the frantic influx of capital into the market now, there are actually not many opportunities at the film festival.

Literary films are still so unpopular.

Thank you, thank you Kleist, thank you Miaoliang Cultural Fund... After saying a few words of appreciation, Xu Haoran went down.

Kleist invested 50 million in The Master, but the box office was only 70 million, a loss of more than 20 million.

Not only was he not angry, he even gave him a prize now.

The words of gratitude are sincere.

He brought back a trophy and a check card similar to the size of a certificate—with this thing, he could go to Kleist tomorrow to ask for money, two million.

The first group, the second prize, The Old Man of the River. The jury commented that this film conveys a kind of love of destiny that changes with the times. I invite Jia to direct.

This movie has nothing to do with Kleist, but the Miaoliang Culture Night is not limited to movies or filmmakers who have had a relationship with Kleist. There is no problem with inclusiveness.

Chief Jia's status in the entertainment industry is already very high.

Although he was on par with Wang Yingjun in terms of box office.

This time Kleist held this event, so he asked someone to contact him and expressed his hope to participate.

Of course it was impossible to refuse him.

What he didn't expect was that he actually won the award.

There is no psychological preparation at all.

Three million, I am very surprised and very happy. They can earn 30-50 million, 30-500 million by making a movie, but we can hardly make 300,000. To be honest, The Old Man of the River is my favorite movie. A blockbuster movie sold 33 million at the box office, but it still lost money after all. I would like to say sorry to those who invested in my movie, and let you down again. I will give you a share of the 3 million. It can also be regarded as the money earned by the movie...

Chief Jia took the trophy and cheque and went down with a blushing face.
