After this business was discussed, Lin Dong was in a good mood.

Not to mention earning a personal salary of 20 million, he also spent most of the 600 million yuan that Zhang Sanpang, the rebel minister, got back.

If you do the math, 600 million will take 400 million to shoot "Monster Hunt".

The remaining 200 million, and a little more, is just the capital of the third season of "Tucao Show".

However, Lin Dong thinks like this, which does not mean that others think so.

"Mr. Shi, if your company has sufficient funds, are you considering investing in the second part?"

Of course, Xu Chengyi can't just think about making one.

In this movie, they have made such a huge world view, and their ambitions are obvious, in fact, what they want to do is Huaxia's "Harry Potter".

"Part 2?" Lin Dong was a little vigilant.

"Actually, in the first part, we belong to laying out the world view, explaining things like the setting clearly, and if you want to make money, you still have to do the second part."

Xu Chengyi thought that Kleist was worried that the second part would not make money.

He hurriedly explained: "We can invite big names for the second part, with the foundation of the first part, it is easy to make a lot of money, and the cost is also easy to control, and many equipment and sets can be used with a slight change." ”

"Yes, the first part is to earn word of mouth, and the second part is to earn the box office, even if it is not good enough, the box office will not be worse than the first part." Jiang Zhigang's mind became active again.

spent 200 million yuan to work in vain, and the producer's remuneration was not as much as the interest of 200 million in the bank.

If the second part can be confirmed now, he hopes that he can also get a piece of the pie.

Of course, after the project was sold to Kleist, let him not get involved, it would be completely up to Kleist to say.

"I don't agree with you." Lin Dong also had to talk and pretend to be a master, he frowned and asked: "Is there any part of the Harry Potter series that invites big names to make money, this is quick success, this is pulling seedlings to help." ”

After saying that, he was still a little proud.

Because as a former foreign devil, he said two idioms in a row.

"Uh......" Xu Chengyi didn't know what to say.

said that the cost would be lower than the first part, said that he wanted to invite a big coffee, and said that the box office would not be worse than the first part, isn't it all to persuade you to invest money?

If you can't make money, will you take it obediently?

As the initiator of the project, as a director, he is also very bitter in his heart.

If you want to make a classic and make a Chinese "Harry Potter", the premise is that the father of the gold owner presides over him.

That's why he sacrificed his art festival, saying that he wanted to help Kleist make a fortune in the second part.

However, the gold owner's father seems to be quite dissatisfied.

"What about our opinion, if you make a sequel, the quality of the sequel cannot be lower than the previous work, since you want to make Huaxia's "Harry Potter", you must do your best, it doesn't matter if you make money or not." Lin Dong looked at Shi Shanshan.

Queen Shi nodded violently, and almost wagged her tail.

You are bitter and I am bitter, with such a neurotic boss, what can I do but nod my head.

Jiang Zhigang closed his mouth, and he didn't vote for the second part if he killed him.

No, it's a project that will be involved with Kleist in the future, and he won't invest again.

This company is sick.

"Definitely, definitely!" Xu Chengyi almost laughed.

Having such a gold owner father on the stall is something that a director like him can't even dream of.

Sure enough, reality is more absurd than dreams.

"What is the cost budget for the second part?" Shi Shanshan asked the boss.

In fact, she has not been able to understand the boss's financial situation, as a private enterprise, and it is also a sole proprietorship, Boss Lin does not need to disclose his finances to anyone.

Kleist Culture Media rarely runs out of money, and recently the boss said he doesn't have enough money.

When he said this, he smiled weirdly, and he looked old.

Therefore, as the general manager of the company, Shi Shanshan is worried that the little money from variety shows is not enough to invest in "Monster Hunting" 1 and 2.

"If the second part is produced, two and a half million is enough, and the publicity and distribution do not need so much, 50 million is enough." Xu Chengyi quickly gave an answer, and seemed to know that his reputation in this area was not very good, and quickly added: "Three hundred million is definitely enough, I promise that there is no need for any addition." ”

Frankly, he felt sick too.

If you want to make classic and high-level works, it is inevitable to burn money.

Xu Chengyi, who was born in Hollywood DreamWorks, is especially good at burning money.

"Shrek 2", the production cost is 1.5 billion dollars - US dollars.

And the third and fourth parts of "Shrek" cost more than 1.6 billion yuan to produce - still dollars.

In his normal thoughts, the gold master's father is so easy to speak, and he can spend 500 million or even 100 million if you give him 500 million or even 100 million in the second part.

But he couldn't.

Because he knows what the state of the domestic market really is.

If you really dare to burn like Hollywood, you can burn a company to death in a few clicks.

After being burned.

Kleist went out of business, and he could only roll back to Hollywood, which was different from his original intention of returning to China for development.

It's rare to meet a father who values quality so much and doesn't value profit so much.

This is a rare animal.

You have to take good care of it.

Therefore, he decided to control the cost and strive to get the best work with the least amount of money.

The first part is 400 million, and the second part is 300 million, but in fact, there is no cost reduction.

After all, the second part has the foundation of the first part.,A lot of things can be used now.,The most money-saving place is the CG team.,With the experience of the first part.,The second part can save a lot of effort.。

If there was no remake, the cost of the first part would have been 250 million.

If the second part doesn't pay much attention to quality and just wants to make money, in fact, 100 million can be filmed, and the opening asks for 300 million, and I don't plan to invite big coffee, which is really dead in quality.

Seven hundred million!

Money...... Again...... Again...... Not enough wow.

Although he was a little worried, Lin Dong's heart seemed to be smeared with honey.

Not to mention how comfortable it is.

That's what I want to feel like my kidneys are overdrawn!

It's like eating ice cream in the winter in my hometown in the Northeast, one word - comfort.

Seeing Mr. Lin nodding.

Shi Shanshan smiled slightly-the kind of smile that almost couldn't laugh, this Nima 700 million, just made two movies?

Boss, aren't you afraid of smashing balls?

You Lao Lin family haven't left a queen yet!

But she still agreed to the head: "We agree in principle to shoot two films in a row, and we will communicate with Penguin Video and ask them to send the money as soon as possible." ”

On the question of funding, Lin Dong's plan is like this.

The 600 million net profit of the variety show was taken, and then 100 million was embezzled from the company's account or the cultural fund account.

As for the cost of the third season of "Tucao Show", it is completely possible to wait for the settlement of these two movies - no matter how optimistic he is, he will not think that these two movies can lose all their money.

If he really loses money, he will sell "Tucao Show" to Penguin Video.

At that time, it was time for him to pack his backpack and prepare to return to the wizarding world.
