Chapter 24 Crayfish
No problem, leave it to me.
Du Qixi was moved and happy.
Naturally, he was moved because the lord entrusted him with great responsibility, and he was happy because he could brag about it everywhere.
The pinnacle of life is nothing more than that.
Eat at the same table with idols.
As a member of the management, he cast a movie.
The boss keeps giving him important tasks...
The family was actually worried that he could not find a job!
Worried that he can't support himself by making movies.
If you know all this, your jaw will drop in shock.
What a blind boss would value their son so much.
Lin Dong doesn't know if he's blind or not, but it's true that he doesn't hold grudges.
Yesterday he was still yelling at Xu Lang in the office, but today Xu Lang called him out for dinner, and he came over immediately.
The location is Sanlitun near his company.
A very upscale store.
There is also no problem of celebrity travel being captured.
Those so-called celebrity outings were captured, but there are actually too many traces of artificial arrangements.
Each one is as beautiful as a fairy.
The lighting angles and poses are all from the photographer's handwriting.
After the shooting is not counted, various retouching is required.
Under normal circumstances, as long as they are not professional paparazzi, ordinary people may not be able to recognize celebrities even if they meet them.
After all, stars in real life look very different from those on screen.
Xu Lang only wore a hat.
The two who came with him both wore dark glasses and looked like bodyguards.
After taking down the mirror, Lin Dong recognized their identities.
One is Wang Shunliu and the other is Zhou Bo.
I can recognize these two guys.
It's also the result of Lin Dong's bad knowledge of the entertainment industry these days.
In the morning, Xu Lang persuaded Zhou Bo to take part in the movie.
Then Wang Shunliu was also in Beijing, so he decided to come out and have a meal together.
How could you forget about Lin Dong when it comes to eating?
Naturally, Wang Shunliu and Zhou Bo didn't object to having dinner with a big benefactor like Lin Dong.
They just didn't expect Lin Dong to be so young.
It can be said unequivocally that Lin Dong is still a child in their eyes.
It was inevitable that the movie Thailand was mentioned again at the dinner table.
Brother Xu, you are too much!
When Lin Dong was mentioned sad, he couldn't help but hate this bald man.
Hey, where did I go too far? Xu Lang didn't understand.
You invited me to dinner, only in a small restaurant, but they invited them to such a big restaurant, isn't that too much?
Of course Lin Dong was looking for faults.
You made me earn 130 million.
I just want to beat you.
Not only do I want to piss you off, I want to beat you up too.
The others laughed.
Everyone doesn't think he really cares about this.
I just think that he is straightforward and has a good relationship with Xu Lang, so he made such a joke.
Although I didn't drink, but chatting like this can also warm up.
Unlike the other three people who were uncertain about the movie, Lin Dong already knew how much box office the movie would have.
Therefore, he suggested that Wang Shunliu and Zhou Bo reinvest their salary in the film, and participate in the box office as a member of the management.
Wang Shunliu's salary is 2 million, and Zhou Bo's salary is 3 million.
Without any hesitation, Zhou Bo nodded in agreement.
In fact, he did not expect to get paid immediately.
He knew that Xu Lang was short of money.
It doesn't matter if you give early or late.
It was originally to help out of friendship.
Wang Shunliu hesitated a little.
Just because he gets paid doesn't mean he has a bad relationship with Xu Lang.
After all, the remuneration is also part of the production cost, and it is the investors who pay the money, which has nothing to do with Xu Lang.
He is not in a hurry to get the 2 million, but he has doubts about this sequel.
If he loses, he won't even have 2 million.
All three of them have a dream of being a director.
Especially after filming Mr. Tree this year, Wang Shunliu has strengthened his determination to be a director and make films.
But it is not so easy for an actor to become a director.
The most important thing is to shoot the first scene.
Let the capital side see that you have the talent to be a director, have the ability to make money, and can help them make money.
And this first film, many new directors paid for it themselves.
Well, this is up to you.
Lin Dong didn't care much.
How Wang Shunliu chooses is his own business.
It's just that when he found out that the box office of the movie he starred in was close to 1.3 billion, but he could only get 2 million in salary, he had to admit that he was unlucky no matter how he felt.
Dongzi, how much box office do you think this film can make?
Wang Shunliu thinks that Xu Lang is a big fool.
What to say, we just need to fight hard, and the movie will be made in a high-quality direction, and it may have a box office of 300 million.
300 million?
You really dare to think, the box office of the previous work that the two of us acted in did not reach 40 million.
It is estimated that it should exceed one billion.
Lin Dong suddenly felt that the braised pork in his mouth was a bit bitter—in fact, it was even more bitter in his heart.
One billion? Zhou Bo laughed first, this buddy really dared to think.
Xu Lang was also a little embarrassed, he had already told Dali about 300 million yuan.
Lin Dong must be crazy.
Wang Shunliu's education level is not high, but he is a smart person, extremely smart.
Xu Lang said that there could be 300 million, and investors are optimistic about 1 billion. No matter who is right, it means that at least this film will not lose money.
Baldy, I put all my wealth on you. If you dare to pay, I will kill you.
Wang Shunliu slammed the table, announcing that he also became one of the investors of this movie.
The ratio is also very easy to calculate. I just calculated it yesterday.
Xu Lang himself took 3 million, plus his director's share accounted for 18.2%.
Zhou Bo took 3 million and accounted for 8.2%.
Wang Shunliu's salary was 2 million, and he simply took out 1 million to make up 3 million, which also accounted for 8.2%.
In this way, only 35% is left for Lightsaber Media.
I don't know what their boss thinks after knowing the result.
Xu Lang didn't care anymore.
If this movie can really reach 300 million or even 1 billion box office, 35% can still make the lightsaber a lot of money.
Presumably the lightsaber can take out the money with more confidence, after all, it can't lose much.
More than ten million, little money!
It is definitely not pure feelings that can bring people's hearts together.
but a common interest.
At least on the surface, the four people who ate have formed a community of interests.
The common goal of everyone is to make this movie well and sell it well.
Even if Lin Dong felt bitter in his heart, he couldn't express it.
All the grievances can only be held in the heart, and then turned into appetite.
While chatting, we talked about the upcoming Shanghai International Film Festival.
Xu Lang wanted to prepare a new film, and there was no new film shortlisted, so naturally he didn't plan to go.
However, both Wang Shunliu and Zhou Bo will be present.
Lin Dong said that he would go too.
Then you set off with us a few days earlier, and I'll take you to eat crayfish.
Wang Shunliu made an invitation.
crayfish?
After crossing, he has been staying in this three-acre land in the capital.
Lin Dong thinks that China is so big that it is not bad to walk around.
That's right, the Shanghai International Film Festival is also called the Crayfish Festival, and now is a good time to eat crayfish.
Wang Shunliu also found that the big benefactor especially likes to eat.
Then will you treat me to eat?
Lin Dong asked very seriously, he only has four or five thousand yuan, so he can save a little bit.
As for the 130 million yuan, that money can be used for investment and consumption within the limits allowed by the system.
But definitely not including eating crayfish.
People's system has said that you can only use system funds to eat when you are about to starve to death.
