I’m Almost Losing to a Muggle

This is Wen Muye, my assistant director of Xin Shushan. I have admired the two of you for a long time. Please let me introduce you to dinner. As you all know, I will never refuse someone who invites me to dinner.

Xu Lang and Ning Hai came together, Lin Dong hugged them one by one, and then introduced Wen Muye.

I've heard that he co-directed City of Love which was released last month. Xu Lang shook hands with Wen Muye without putting on airs at all.

Love City tells the story of five couples who staged love stories with different styles in the five love holy places in the world.

The film consists of five stories and is handed over to five directors, Fumi Konoha is one of them.

Therefore, Wen Muye was able to adapt to New Shushan so quickly.

It is precisely because of the dismal box office of City of Love that Lin Dong is so confident in New Shushan.

The five stories of City of Love are different in content, because the temperament is too similar, which makes the audience extremely bored to watch. New Shushan has five versions of a story, which is even more serious.

The box office is terrible. Alas, I really don't know how to make a movie. After the city of love hit the street after its release, Wen Muye was also depressed.

It's nothing at all, who hasn't failed before, Xu Lang comforted very familiarly.

I, Shitou, have directed several films before. Even now, I don't dare to say that the new film will be popular. There are many films that I dare not make after thinking about them. Ning Hai said the same.

He's afraid of smashing his own signboard, but he doesn't have any signboard to smash. Xu Lang complained.

That's right, what are you afraid of. Lin Dong really wanted to smash his own brand, even though he just started directing his first movie, he didn't have any brand at all.

How good it is to smash the signboard.

Make one and pay for one.

However, it seems wrong to think so.

If he makes one film and loses another, then he is a money-losing director, and his signature should be losing money.

The sign of losing money cannot be lost.

Hong Kong is not easy will be released soon, I don't believe you don't have nightmares. Ning Hai also fought back very vigorously.

Do it, all kinds of anxiety. In my dreams, I found that the movie finally hit the market. The popularity accumulated in the previous movie was all wiped out. The box office reputation doubled and my hair fell out. Xu Lang touched his forehead. bald.

If the last sentence, everyone should concentrate on comforting him.

How's the movie editing going? Are you confident? Lin Dong hurriedly asked. He had never been so nervous about a movie. He had invested in fifty or sixty movies before, but it was all system funds, and he didn't want them to make money at all.

And the last time Dare to Ask Where the Way Is was also invested, but the investment was too little.

This time Hong Kong is not easy he invested 10 million, hoping to earn a little more.

What he is most afraid of is that the movies he wanted to lose money have made money one after another, while the movies he wanted to make money have lost money one by one.

If that's the case, it's definitely not a matter of vision.

It's that God wants to play him to death.

Not negotiable.

I have confidence, but it's hard to say how far the box office will go. I want it to reach 10 billion, but I can only think about it. Xu Lang shook his head.

It's not easy to do anything these days.

There was never a gale of money.

I heard that there was some unpleasantness with the lightsaber, how is it now? Lin Dong asked.

What else can they do? They just wait to collect the money, and they will definitely not cooperate in the next play. Xu Lang snorted.

Lightsaber wants to arrange for an artist named Ai Beier to take over Wang Shunliu's position, saying that she is more talented in comedy than Wang Shunliu, and can act with zero pay.

Wang Shunliu didn't really care. He was busy filming Chinatown Detective some time ago, he was also busy with his new company, and participated in the variety show Running.

But Xu Lang did not agree.

The script was written according to Wang Shunliu's image, tailor-made.

Wang Shunliu is the most suitable.

So what Ai Beier tried a scene, also playing a fool, Wang Shunliu acted like a fool, and Ai Beier acted like a fool.

As a result, Xu Lang had a dispute with the lightsaber.

If the copyright of this series is in the hands of the lightsaber, they have a lot of means to suppress Xu Lang and bow his head. No matter how arrogant Xu Lang is, he must compromise in front of capital.

Even if he knew the effect would be much worse.

But the copyright of this series is in the hands of Xu Lang and others, and they jointly share more than lightsabers. Since Lin Dong refused the solicitation of lightsabers and handed over the decision-making power to Xu Lang, Xu Lang is the head of this series.

Lightsabers only account for 10% of the new movie.

Under all kinds of unhappiness, the conflict broke out completely, and it was obvious that there was no way to continue to cooperate in the future.

It should be said that Xu Lang, Zhou Bo, Wang Shunliu, and Ning Hai, their small team, are not working with the lightsaber, and they don't know where Ai Beier got so much energy to make the lightsaber push him so hard.

Lightsaber is currently one of the largest entertainment companies in China.

Invested in a lot of movies and TV series. Although there are few artists under the banner, they should not be underestimated.

However, whether it was Xu Lang, Ning Hai, or Lin Dong, after learning that the relationship between them had deteriorated completely, they didn't feel that there was anything to worry about, which made Wen Muye beside him amazed and envious.

In fact, with Wen Konoha's current rank, it is difficult to talk to the lightsaber.

Even if you take the script to find investment, it may only be received by ordinary business personnel. If you don't like it, the script will go directly into the shredder.

How many days off did you take? Xu Lang asked Lin Dong.

Three days! Lin Dong originally wanted to ask for a few more days, at least to confirm that his parents are in good health before leaving. The examination is also divided into stages, and the report will not come out on the same day.

But the crew really doesn't give holidays.

It was exaggeratedly hot over there, and he felt sorry for letting others wait for him.

Then you can stand on stage for us the night after tomorrow. At the premiere, Bo Zi is not free. We are going to participate in some ultimate challenge. Our crew also plans to participate once to promote the movie.

Okay, just give me the time and address.

All the money he earns belongs to him, so Lin Dong is naturally obliged.

Not only Ultimate Challenge helped promote the film, Kleist's distribution department also participated in the film's distribution. Although it is not the main distribution, the current online distribution is so good that it plays a more important role than traditional distribution. awesome.

Ultimate Challenge has been aired for two episodes, the ratings of the first episode were 2.6, and the ratings of the second episode were 3.1.

This leap-like span naturally comes from the life-threatening challenge of the first issue.

Deserted islands, the sea, and even glimpses of sharks and so on, the gimmicks are flying, and people can't help but want to see what they will encounter in the next issue.

Zhang Sanpang's strategy is correct.

The harder the stars are tossed, the more excited the audience is.

However, Ultimate Challenge still failed to surpass the record of I want to make a record.

I want to release a record and I have debuted for the tenth issue, and there are two more issues that will be over. The current ratings are 3.9, which is about to break through the 4 mark.

Penguin Video is also vigorously promoting this variety show.

The two-line publicity of the TV station and the Internet has achieved immediate results. If nothing else, the ratings of the last two episodes have broken 4.

As far as this year is concerned, it should be second only to Running 1 and Running 2, as well as The Voice of China.

The average audience rating of Running 1 is 3.7. I want to make a record has great stamina, but the early stage is not strong enough, and it will be a disadvantage to calculate the average value, but there is no doubt that the next season of I want to make a record will definitely be big bang.

The show Ultimate Challenge is very stressful right now.

Therefore, the content of the show became abnormal from one episode to the next, so Xu Lang gritted his teeth and went on this show.

No way, for the box office.

Lin Dong could only express sympathy for this, but there was nothing he could do.

After chatting about It's Not Easy for a while, the food was served one after another, and it was time to drink, the atmosphere suddenly became lively.

Wen Konoha quickly joined in.

Ning Hai is a director he admires very much. Unlike others who like Ning Hai's Stone, Wen Muye prefers Ning Hai's No Man's Land, and calls this film the most artistically ambitious work.

Ning Hai was embarrassed by his praise.

He said repeatedly that he dared not dare, it was not that good at all, but he was happy in his heart, and he grabbed the wine bottle and filled Wen Muye himself.

This man, there is no one who doesn't like to hear good things.

After drinking for three rounds, Ning Hai wiped his mouth, put down his chopsticks, put his wine glass around Wen Muye's shoulder, and said a little drunkenly, I've always wanted to shoot a subject, but I haven't dared to do it, so I asked you if you want to do it. try.

Uh, you don't dare to do anything, what can I do. Wen Muye was not dazzled by the alcohol, and shook his head again and again.

Don't be so cowardly, Dongzi introduced us to each other, I found your work to read, I think you are really suitable, I have a story and you have wine, and there is a God of Wealth sitting here, what are you afraid of. Ning Hai pointed at Lin Dong and laughed.

Subject matter that even Ning Hai dare not touch...

How unreliable it is to hand it over to a novice.

Ning Hai said that he had seen Wen Muye's previous works, but Lin Dong had also seen them.

Throughout the short films of Fumikonoha's early student days, all of them reveal realism and humanistic care. What the film brings to you is a kind of pure touch, the sense of reality that comes from life, and lifts your soul.

Lin Dong likes Wen Muye's Golden Orchid and Celery the most. The investment of this short film is only 1,000 yuan, but it is very real and moving.

The story of the film is very simple, it tells the story of two old ladies going together to pay TV bills.

One of the two old ladies is impatient and stubborn, the other is slow. The differentiated personalities and unique regional characteristics create a strong sense of comedy. Seemingly casual dialogue and action details convey the truth of life.

Under the shell of comedy, there is actually the loneliness of the empty-nest elderly longing for company. At the end of the short film, Jin Lan grabs Guiqin and asks Guiqin to stay and chat with her for a while. sorrow and grief.

This made Lin Dong decide that before leaving, he must spare a few months or even a year to spend time with the two old people in the Northeast.

Closer to home, touching is quite touching, but this method is far from commercial films.

Wen Muye asked Lin Dong to introduce Ning Hai to him, but Lin Dong felt that he should actually get to know Chief Jia.

Especially Wen Muye's Requiem, which may have more common topics with Jia Kechang. The short film describes the phenomenon of prostitution among the people. Meng Xiaojun sold his dead wife to others to raise money to save his daughter. **, which is full of helplessness.

That's why Lin Dong so assuredly promised to invest in Wen Muye.

That's why he was so relieved to introduce Ning Hai and Xu Lang to him.

Just as Chief Jia and Wang Yingjun couldn't become directors of commercial films even if they got to know Ning Hai, Lin Dong believed that Wen Muye couldn't change.

And when Lin Dong was immersed in his wishful thinking, Ning Hai had already told Wen Muye about the scene he wanted him to shoot.

The God of Medicine.

A story with a realistic archetype.

It can reflect real problems.

This is more reliable.

The cost of this movie should not exceed 100 million. If you can't eat Dongzi, some of us can help make up some. Ning Hai quickly reached a consensus with Wen Muye and Xu Lang.

Produced by Ning Hai, starring Xu Lang, directed by Wen Muye...

Now, the money is short.

No, I can take it all here. Lin Dong said quickly.

Let go of that money-losing movie and let me do it!

How can such an opportunity to lose money be given to others.

Enough fun! Apparently, Ning Hai didn't think such a movie could make much money. He was a little tight on funds recently, and he had to prepare his own new movie. It would be great if Lin Dong could eat all of it.

Let's do it well, don't let Boss Lin lose money. Xu Lang also toasted Lin Dong.

With such a backstage here, I'm afraid of a ball's lightsaber.

We are not afraid of offending the capital of the entire entertainment industry.

Hehe. With a smile on his lips, Lin Dong felt mmp in his heart, Xu Lang, you should thank me for not killing me.

Otherwise, someone like you would have been dragged into the woods long ago.

However, Wen Muye is still busy with Lin Dong's New Shushan, so he can only edit and study the script at the same time, and then slowly pull up the crew.

We chatted for a while.

Ning Hai and Xu Lang tricked Wen Muye into Huanqu Films, which is a leather bag company jointly established by several people.

This company is actually used to invest in everyone's own movies, and there is no one in it.

Wen Konoha is the first director to sign on.

It can be regarded as blending into their circle in a disguised form, and in the future they can sign up for a group to keep warm.

Because of this project on a temporary basis, Ning Hai's new movie may also be postponed, and it is likely that it will not be able to start work next year. This makes Lin Dong, who plans to invest with money from his personal account, heave a sigh of relief.

Still, if he's running fast, the movie might not be in the cast.
