For example, Xu Aihua, although she also knows that her movie may not be satisfactory at the box office, but in the spirit of being responsible for the actors, she will still adhere to the conventional process.

"She's going to release a new movie?" Lin Dong's eyes lit up.

This lady is also a master who can lose money, and throughout her decades of directorial career, few films have made money.

This does not affect people's status in the film industry, after all, she has made a lot of actresses.

There is a saying in the film industry that throughout the entire circle, there are two people who are the most capable of winning movies, one is Chen Kexin, and the other is Xu Aihua.

For example, Tang Wei, she first collaborated with Chen Kexin in "Martial Arts" in 2011, and was nominated for the Academy Awards, and then immediately filmed Xu Aihua's "The Legend of Xiao Hong" in 2012, which was the one invested by Kleist, and then was nominated for the Golden Horse Award and the Academy Awards.

"She is preparing for a new film, and she also asked us here, but I refused," Du Qixi explained: "Her new film is set for Zhou Xun's female one, and the other main lineups are almost the same, no one can be stuffed in, and no money can be made, so we don't need to join in this fun." ”

The huge loss of "The Biography of Xiao Hong" made Xu Aihua once again prove that he has no commercial value.

Even if Du Qixi is blind, he can judge it.

Big cast or something, can't save Xu Aihua at all.

"Brother Qixi, you are wrong like this," how can you miss such a money-losing deal, Lin Dong hurriedly brainwashed Du Qixi: "Didn't we say that we would support literary films, why can you support "Roadside Picnic", and you will reject Xu Aihua's movie?" ”

"Although Xu Aihua is a little more difficult to attract investment, it is not as difficult as Bi Qian, those actors who are determined to act, which one has no capital power behind them, if no one makes a move, they will still take the money in the end." Du Qixi explained.

Lin Dong had a little headache.

What Du Qixi said is not unreasonable.

Kleist can neither make money, nor can he stuff people in to get awards, why do you want to be this wrongdoer.

Favors are not enough as bargaining chips in exchange.

To lose money?

Others want to make money, Lin Dong wants to lose money.

What others feel is a loss, in Lin Dong's opinion, it is a big profit.

Losing 100 million makes him more comfortable than making 1 billion.

But I can't say that.

"Actually, it's simple," Pei Qianlong deserves to be a dog-headed military advisor, and easily found a solution, saying: "There are so many projects in our company, there is always a place where they can contribute, if you want to invest, just help us work." ”

Can it be like this?

Lin Dong and Du Qixi were stunned, feeling incredible.

Whether a movie can find investment or not, it is a matter for the producer and director, and if it matters to other actors, they just need to get paid to act.

Each has its own job.

But when I think about it, I don't think it's impossible.

Xu Aihua's movies are different from others, the actors participating in them are not running for salary, they are all for awards, for the sake of brushing up on qualifications.

In this case, they are more concerned about whether they can attract investment.

"But I've already rejected her." Du Qixi was worried.

"That's your business." Whether it was Lin Dong or Pei Qianlong, they didn't mean to help him.

This thing is in vain, and he wants to save face for everything, and he has to be cured if he has the opportunity.

Du Qixi was dumbfounded.

However, it is not difficult to do.

As long as Xu Aihua receives a little rumor, he will still come over.

After all, Kleist only needs a share of the box office in the mainland, and not any other regions, so there will be too much money to be made.

Movies that lose money can also make money.

Who is going to have trouble with money?

Wang Kuo of Meow Claw Net also reported the situation of Meow Claw Net.

At present, Meow Claw is a comprehensive website, including life information and trading platform, consumer reviews, ticketing platform, electronic membership card, food and beverage delivery, online supermarket and other functions.

Wang Kuo's current job is to integrate resources.

Combined with Meow Ya live broadcast and short video, try to help the merchants of Meow Paw to sell goods and promote.

In the process of live broadcasting, Meow Ya Live also constantly discovers high-quality merchants and goods, and then puts them in a special area opened up on Meow Paw for sale.

These goods are not expensive - after all, Kleist has no intention of making money from them.

And the quality is surprisingly good.

In addition, the live broadcast platform often attracts traffic, so the current monthly transaction volume has exceeded 30 million.

This number may seem like a lot, but it's actually insignificant.

According to last year's data,

The total turnover of a treasure is 2.3 trillion yuan, the total annual transaction volume of a certain east is 260.2 billion yuan, the total scale of physical commodity transactions on Suning's online platform is 25.791 billion yuan, the net revenue of Vipshop is about 23.36 billion yuan, the online transaction volume of Gome is about 18 billion to 20 billion yuan, the transaction volume of Dangdang is 14.243 billion yuan, and the total net transaction volume of Jumei is about 6.634 billion yuan.

The monthly transaction volume of Meow Claw shopping is 30 million, and it can reach 1 billion by the end of the year, which is really not worth mentioning.

Therefore, Wang Kuo simply said a sentence and did not continue to mention it, after all, he didn't earn a penny for this piece, and he also posted a lot of money for product development, promotion and maintenance.

Besides, Pei Qianlong once said that the shopping platform was Mr. Lin's idea.

Therefore, Wang Kuo can't take this matter as his own credit.

"Anything else?" Lin Dong asked.

Everyone shook their heads, everything that should have been said was said, in fact, Lin Dong had only been away from the capital for two months, and it was impossible for too many things to happen.

It's just that he has been worried in his heart.

Even dreaming that this bunch of guys helped him make a lot of money.

They all surrounded him and slapped him in the face with money.

It's a nightmare.

"When it comes to the game, who will take the lead?" Shi Shanshan asked.

"Uh......" Lin Dong really didn't think about this question.

He's just scared of the proxy game.

Because the agency game must be carefully selected in a pile of high-quality products, and the fruits of other people's labor will be used to make money for themselves.

That's why he temporarily decided to ask the people under him to develop the game themselves.

I also use the fake big empty words to make Huaxia's boutique game fool everyone.

What is the temporary idea, there is no plan.

Do you want to push out the security guard at the door?

No kidding.

Although Lin Dong made various blind assignments at the beginning, so that the first batch of employees all became high-level, but in the formulated framework, everyone was miraculously competent for their work.

There are a few things that have done well, and Lin Dong's mentality has exploded.

Under the already perfect employment mechanism, it is a humiliation for all employees of the entire company to push a security uncle out to be the general manager.

Although, when Tian Dazhuang was looking for a job, his resume was a security guard and a driver.

No one spoke, and even Pei Qianlong, who had always liked to solve problems for Mr. Lin, remained silent.

The game is a big department, and when you come out, you will be on an equal footing with everyone.

The appointment of a new business unit boss is the highest authority of the company.

This kind of power is in the hands of the boss, and this kind of behavior is taboo in various organizations in China.

"By the way, Mr. Pei, how is that Li Changwei?" Lin Dong asked.

Li Changwei is the person Lin Dong met when he went to Shencheng not long ago, and he is a manager of Tian Dazhuang's meow tail cinema.

It was the theater he was responsible for that was demolished, from 100 million to 550 million.

Lin Dong felt that this person was too good at the development of the cinema line, and this person was eyeing the general manager of the meowtail cinema line in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, so he transferred him to Pei Qianlong.

Let Pei Qianlong assess this person's strength.

If it's really cowhide, he won't expect to touch a single hair in the theater in his life.

The so-called way of employing people, simply put, is to know people and make good use of them.

If you want to owe it, just use it the other way around.

"Manager Li," Pei Qianlong said after pondering for a while: "Manager Li has a lot of experience in the cinema business, and he is a rare talent, but he is not so good in other fields. ”

Li Changwei is Tian Dazhuang's person, and Pei Qianlong doesn't want to offend Tian Dazhuang.

So the words are more euphemistic.

If it were his own subordinate, he would say very bluntly, this person can also be a movie theater, and if I ask him to do something else, he will be like an idiot.

"Tell me more about it." Lin Dong's eyes lit up.

This Li Changwei is very suitable for making games, and games can't be played with movie theaters.

Pei Qianlong smiled apologetically at Tian Dazhuang and said:

"I asked him to participate in the short video of Meow Ya, but he paid too much attention to the feelings of users and formulated several strategies, which led to chaos on the review side, and I asked him to take charge of some things on Meow Ya.com, and as a result, he offended the business for the sake of users, resulting in a big public relations crisis."

"It's not a good balance, is it?" Lin Dong summed it up.

"That's pretty much it, and he has lived in the cinema since he was a child, and he is very familiar with the cinema field, and he is not deeply involved in other fields, so I suggest that he return to the cinema chain and serve as the general person in charge of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai."

Meowtail Cinema Line is divided into four regions, namely the Northern Region, the Southern Region, the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai Regions, and the Midwest Region.

Of the four regions, the most important is Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai.

"Manager Li is quite capable." Tian Dazhuang, who didn't ask about himself and never spoke, said a word for Li Changwei.

Tian Dazhuang has no special ability, and he doesn't know anything about movie theaters.

After he took on the heavy responsibility of Meowtail Cinema, he recruited talents, and then fully delegated power, but there were no major mistakes.

Li Changwei was the strongest of all his disciples.

I don't know what Mr. Lin is crazy about, so he sent it directly to Pei Qianlong.

Give me back my constant power!

"Ahem, let's do it, let's let Li Changwei be in charge of the game first, Mr. Pei, you help him, and then talk about it when there is a suitable candidate in the future." Lin Dong ignored Tian Dazhuang and quickly made a decision.

Although everyone was shocked, no one objected.

Even Tian Dazhuang didn't say anything, his brother went from a theater manager, skipping the regional manager, to directly becoming the general manager of the new business department, and he was on an equal footing with him, the general manager of the Meowtail Cinema Line, of course he couldn't stop his brother's future.

And although Pei Qianlong felt that Li Changwei was not qualified, he would not have a suitable candidate for a while.

He even felt that Lin Dong's arrangement was tantamount to handing over the game division to him to take care of, otherwise he would not know that Li Changwei was not good, and he would have to be appointed.

"Grant you access to all the funds you have in the company, and tell me if it's not enough." Lin Dong gave the greatest permission.

There were originally 640 million in his system account, and "Xinshu Mountain" has probably spent more than 200 million so far, and if nothing else, it may cost more than 200 million later.

In this case, there are still about 200 million funds to use.

Xu Aihua's "When Will the Bright Moon Exist" probably use up 100 million of them, so that there is still 100 million left.

Lin Dong hopes that the game can help him spend it.

Then he can lose money and earn gold Galleons again.

In addition, there is also a lot of money in the company's account, Meow Claw may make a profit of more than 100 million this year, and the issuance has made a promise of four or five billion profits, and Meow Ya Live is also very profitable.

Addition, subtraction, although it may be less than a billion, is not much different.

As for what if the game division gets rid of it, and all this money is not enough?

It is simple, too.

We must also insist on smashing pots and selling iron, and we must contribute light and heat to China's domestic games.

It's not a violation of business principles.

As for what to sell, it's simple.

Which one makes money, which one I sell!

The live broadcast was sold to Prince Yida, and he would definitely not refuse.

Prince Yida is now crazy about throwing money into his own black and white live broadcast, which seems to be strong, but it is not easy in fact.

It seems that they all feel the huge market potential of live broadcasting, and several Internet giants either go down in person or raise funds to enter the market, setting off the prelude climax of the "Thousand Broadcast War".

If you sell Meow Tooth Live at this time, there must be a lot of people waiting to take over.

The only thing Boss Lin is worried about is how much it will sell if he sells it, one billion is unlikely, five billion, or ten billion?

In August 2014, Amazon acquired the game live streaming platform Twitch for $970 million, and in July this year, Penguin abandoned its own son Dragon Ball Live and completed the B round of investment in Douyu TV, with a valuation of more than $1 billion.

Think about it this way, Meow Tooth's current market share is as good as Douyu, wouldn't it be 2 billion US dollars......

Oh my God, it's desperate.

After eating and drinking enough to rest for a night, Lin Dong returned to the set of "Xinshu Mountain" in Hengdian, and when he came, the crew was still in full swing filming.

Jiang Xiaojun is in charge.

Zhou Longxing and Wen Muye were discussing the previous editing.

And Xu Wei was arguing with Hu Hailang about special effects, and Kleist's general manager of meow eye visual effects was sweating profusely in embarrassment.

Seeing Lin Dongcai, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Without waiting for him to speak, Lin Dong said: "Try to do what the master says, if you can't do it, you can ask for foreign aid, remember to give people enough compensation." ”

Hu Hailang was dumbfounded.

It's so hard to do special effects, Party A's all kinds of whimsical ideas, but they really can't do it.

The boss who doesn't know how to do it is still on the side of others.

Lin Dong stepped aside, and immediately someone came over to put on his makeup, he was the number one male, so he didn't have to worry about filming.

Wen Muye came over and reported to him what had happened to the crew recently.

Summed up in one sentence.

That is, it is okay with you or without, and the crew has nothing to do.

This made Boss Lin, as the chief director, feel a little disappointed, and made up his mind not to find any producers for the next film.

The filming of this drama is progressing very quickly.

Several directors take turns to play, and the other people have enough manpower, and the work that can replace the shift is no slower than that of several studios starting together.

If nothing else, we will be able to shoot at the end of August, and it will not be delayed until October at the latest.

When the time comes, Lin Dong will star in "Mekong" while following up the later stage of "Xinshu Mountain".

During this period, he also had to cooperate with the promotional activities of the two dramas "The Strongest Showdown" and "Charlotte Distress", in which he participated, the former played the kidnapper and the latter played the rich second-generation little fishman.

There's no way around being busy.

Fortunately, these plays are all invested by Kleist, even if he doesn't work hard enough, no one dares to criticize him.
