Chinese artists are the most popular in the world, because all their commercial performances, remuneration, etc. are all after-tax prices by default. Who can negotiate with you before tax?

Only China's entertainment industry in the world is different! In other countries, whether it is Hollywood or Bollywood, the remuneration is before tax. Moreover, the taxes for entertainers are extremely high, but the taxes for Chinese entertainers... are because of the brokerage company

They are all registered in the duty-free zone, so Chinese artists never pay taxes!!

Pang Di listened to Zhang Ping'an talking about artists' tax issues and felt that he was quite angry. She smiled and said: "Why are you so angry after listening to you talk about taxes?"

Zhang Ping'an pretended to be angry with his eyes wide open: "Am I angry? Of course I am. Didn't I co-invest in a TV series not long ago? After tax, the actor's agency directly negotiated with me and I have been in the Korean entertainment industry for half a year.

Oh, I’ve never heard of any brokerage company talking about the after-tax price? Huaxia is really exaggerating. I said that one day someone will annoy a certain big boss and expose it on the Internet. That’s what it means

There is really a good show to watch, and the tax issues of artists will be much more exciting than those in the TV series!"

Fatty said: "Nowadays, the default in the industry is after-tax. In order to reduce the tax, there are even Yin-Yang contracts. Do you know what a Yin-Yang contract is?"

Zhang Ping'an nodded and said: "I know, and because of this evil trend... I really don't have much favorable impression of China's entertainment industry. So I would rather work in the entertainment industry overseas than play in China. Of course, it's also because I can't play.

Thinking about China’s entertainment industry, one agency after another shouts out the salary, it’s like they want to kill me.”

Fatty looked at him and said, "Didn't you say last time that if a domestic TV station approached you for cooperation, would you be willing to come back?"

"The problem is that it hasn't happened yet. Hehe... I'll come back if I have the chance, but it's true that this 'after-tax' thing makes me very unhappy. Forget it, let's not talk about this, let's go and see other things."

It was almost time for dinner. Zhang Pingan and Fat Di came to the hotel room where he was staying. Fat Di threw the trophies he bought on the sofa in the living room, hummed a little tune and started looking through the things he bought today.

: "La la la~~ This bag is good, this dress is also good..."

"Would you like to change your clothes? We'll have dinner at the Peninsula Hotel tonight."

"Change? You have to try on the new ones you buy, hehe, what about you?"

"I'll change too. It's better to wear casual clothes at night."

.......

The two of them changed their clothes and came out of the hotel. Fatty had already changed into a new set of luxury autumn and winter styles, and the bag in his hand was also changed from LV to a new Chanel.

Zhang Ping'an changed from a formal suit to a sports suit. The hooded sweatshirt Li Zhien gave him had a down jacket on the outside, the pants were very ordinary clover, and the shoes were not aj, just ordinary 'ad' sneakers.

The total amount of clothes Zhang Ping'an wears is only more than 2,000 yuan, which is not as much as the bottoming shirt that Fatty wears. But for him, he no longer needs luxury goods to enhance his status, because he knows

Everyone in his circle knows one thing, that is, Zhang Ping'an is super rich. It doesn't matter if they don't know him, because he doesn't want to deal with those who don't know him anyway.

For example, Pang Di didn't care at all about Zhang Ping'an's sports-style clothes at this time, because his appearance added a lot of points. As for what he wore, it was comfortable, and it didn't need to be too heavy if he was going to some ceremony.

You know, Alibaba’s President Ma still wears Lao Yanjing’s cloth shoes. And doesn’t the head of Facebook also wear a very ordinary T-shirt? Wearing it doesn’t actually mean anything. Clothes are not what you wear.

Luxury goods are superior to others, and it does not mean that you will be looked down upon by others if you wear "Alibaba products".

As long as it's not a formal business meeting, Zhang Pingan can wear whatever he wants in private. Of course, a business meeting must be more formal. Didn't he dress very formally when he went to the company this morning?

After coming out of the hotel, Pang Di naturally took Zhang Ping'an's arm, and the two got into a taxi and headed to the Peninsula Hotel.

After getting in the car, Fatty said: "I see that you two don't have much contact with each other on weekdays. Why did you suddenly make an appointment to have dinner together?"

Zhang Pingan said: "He invested in our platform today. We had a brief chat at work in the morning, so we made an appointment to have dinner together in the evening. It just so happened that he had a player who retired from his team in his hands. I felt very

There is potential. So it depends on whether we can reach an agreement. If he joins our platform, it should bring good results."

Pang Di asked puzzledly: "Why did he think of investing in your platform?" Because in her mind, 'he' belongs to the real estate family after all. Not long ago, he appeared in the news at the opening of a landmark of the family.

At the ceremony.

“Isn’t investing just about investing in whatever you think will make money in the future?”

"Haha, didn't you also invest? What do you think will make money in the future?"

"You~~you are my biggest investment."

Fatty smiled and said: "Didn't I tell you when I was in Seoul? I will support you from now on."

Zhang Ping'an made a "handsome" gesture to Fatty: "I can still eat you a few meals with my face. By the way, I have no money, so I will spend 50,000."

Fatty also followed Zhang Ping'an's joke, stood up, pinched his face, looked around and said, "You have such a face and want to ask for fifty thousand? Go and touch Mahjong. Not to mention fifty thousand, there are ninety thousand!"

"

The taxi driver driving in front burst out laughing: "Pfft~~Hahaha~~! You two are so funny! Are you traveling to Shanghai?"

Zhang Ping'an nodded and started talking nonsense: "Well, wedding trip. We came to Shanghai for some work matters, so we want to spend Christmas in Shanghai and go overseas to have fun during the New Year holiday."

"Very good, where did you come from?"

"She's from the northwest. I've got my wife, the school beauty of our university. I'm pretty good, right?"

"Haha..Awesome, awesome. You are also very handsome and match well."

Zhang Pingan was chatting with his master for a while in the car, while Fatty sat beside him and could only giggle. Soon they arrived at the Peninsula Hotel, and Zhang Pingan took Fatty to the private room booked by the principal.

Because the principal lived at the Peninsula Hotel, Zhang Pingan called him when he got off the bus. He answered the phone and came out of the room.

He had not yet come down when Zhang Pingan and his wife arrived. Sitting in the private room, Zhang Pingan flipped through the menu casually and waited for the principal's arrival. A few minutes later, the door of the private room was pushed open, and the principal took his female companion with him.

A big fat man came to the private room with his friend Lin Genxin.

The principal looked at Zhang Pingan and the female companion beside him. He smiled and said, "Your girlfriend? Last time I saw a photo of the two of you in Seoul, it was a hot search on the scarf."

Zhang Ping'an nodded and said, "Well, my girlfriend, Xiao Di, is from the Western Regions."

The principal smiled and raised his eyebrows at Zhang Ping'an, as if he was looking at someone with the same ideals: "This is my girlfriend, Zhang Yuxi. This is my buddy, Lin Genxin. The big fat guy who retired from my club.

"

Zhang Ping'an shook hands with Lin and Fatty respectively, and smiled and nodded to the principal's girlfriend. He was very polite. After everyone sat down, the principal said: "The food here is good, you can order whatever you want."

.”

Zhang Ping'an said to the waiter: "My girlfriend can't eat pork, please recommend a few special dishes. Please order other principal dishes, you are a regular customer."

The principal nodded, mentioned a few dishes without looking at the menu, then asked them to order more, and then ordered a bottle of red wine.

When they were ordering food, the principal said: "Aren't you in the entertainment industry in South Korea? What do you think of the entertainment industry there?"

"If you are referring to idols, it must be much better than the Chinese system, but the system there is not necessarily suitable for the Chinese market. So the largest SM in South Korea has never had the opportunity to open the door of China. What, is the principal interested?

?”

The principal said: "I want to set up a brokerage company recently. Do you have any good suggestions?"

"Tara! Just go directly to negotiate their contract. Their popularity in China exceeds that of Girls' Generation! They are a special case because they don't have any activities in Korea, so they can directly start touring in China after the negotiation. As for the others, they have

For famous girl groups, it may be more difficult to negotiate a management contract in China. First of all, if they are famous, they will not stick to China. The very successful 'w.g' that JYP created was because it focused on the US market.

After they returned to China, they didn't have many fans. So when Korean groups focus on overseas development, their domestic market is also very important. This has formed the current 'gold-making' situation. And Tara is a

A very special existence. Of course, this is just my personal opinion."

The principal nodded and said, "Then why didn't you buy Tara?"

Zhang Ping'an said with a smile: "My current job in the entertainment industry is in South Korea, but they don't have jobs in South Korea. So if I invest in them, I have to give up what I am producing there, which is very important to me."

It’s not cost-effective. After all, in the Chinese market... it’s basically impossible to send people from Korea to negotiate work matters, and I don’t have the heart to run a group myself. Even the idols in my agency are managed by dedicated people.

.”

The principal said: "Is it profitable to do programs in Korea?"

Zhang Ping'an smiled: "There will definitely be money to be made if the show is successful. Of course, the main thing to make is fame, not how much money you make."

"Have you ever thought about coming back to produce? Why don't we come back and produce together? Our platform can also do talent shows. Can we make a show specifically for selecting anchors?"

"Choose an anchor?" Zhang Ping'an smiled and shook his head, and then said: "If you want to produce, our platform can fully support you. If I participate, forget it. I don't have much interest in such a program, and I have production in China.
