"The "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" project is being launched. About 100 million yuan has been spent. Mr. Zhang has also invested another 100 million yuan."
"The "Crazy Stone" project is already in preparation. Because they are all new actors, the film has an investment of about five million. Director Liu Can has just sent over the audition forms of several actors. I hope Mr. Zhou can go and take a look when he is free.
…”
"The movie "Laughing All the Way" is already being filmed. As a road comedy movie... the actors invited by Zhang Changsheng are mainly newcomers, supplemented by a few veteran comedians. The investment expenditure is relatively higher than that of "Crazy"
"Stone" is slightly higher, about 8 million yuan, and Zhang Changsheng just sent me the progress of the movie..."
"The casting work for "Jinyiwei 2" has been completed. Compared with the first film, the investment in this movie is much higher. Song Yiyi's salary alone is about 7 million, Zhao Zhen's salary is 3 million, and he has participated in several roles.
A guest appearance in one scene, oh, by the way, Zhao Zhenwang has already gone to the United States to shoot the movie "Brokeback Mountain". Mary Vane paid a very high salary of 11 million U.S. dollars... In addition, the salary for "Brokeback Mountain"
The remuneration for the script was deposited into the account just yesterday... one million US dollars, plus 3% of the movie's box office share, and the production company is Mr. Christian's SKY..."
"Zheng Jun, the filming of "American Gangster History" directed by Zheng is nearing completion..."
"..."
"The seventh game share of "Saw" has been received, and deputy director Roddy wants to take over the project of "Saw 2"..."
"The first installment of "Men in Black" has come. The box office of this movie in North America has exceeded 200 million US dollars. However, the old and American people have searched hard and found that the first installment is only 20 million US dollars..."
"The script share of "Jaws" has been received, and there is also a box office share of 20 million yuan..."
"Song Qianqian's two album ringbacks also offered a 10 million share. At the same time, many luxury brands want to get in touch with her..."
"..."
evening.
Zhou Yang listened to Xu Mei's report on Huaxing's income and expenses in the past two years, while looking at the sunset outside the window.
Xu Mei held the thick bill and information sheet, reading the numbers while turning to the next page.
After more than an hour, the expenses and income in the bill were finally sorted out.
"How much money is left in the account?"
"Currently, the company has entered a virtuous cycle. Even after putting aside so many film projects and the shares given to artists, there are still 120 million in liquidity on the books..."
"oh."
When the sun set and the sky in the distance gradually darkened, Zhou Yang turned around and took the bill.
He didn't particularly care about the numerous expenditures and incomes on the bills.
In fact, he was very indifferent about money. As long as it was enough, Zhou Yang realized a problem: "Sister Xu Mei, our taxes are paid on time, right? There is no tax evasion or evasion."
Bar?"
"Because of the donation from "Infernal Affairs", we have certain tax exemptions. In addition to these, every income we make is open and transparent. Especially in terms of taxation, we strictly require the national system. However, Mr. Zhou..."
After Xu Mei finished speaking, she hesitated slightly.
"how?"
"Actually, we have more reasonable tax avoidance plans. Our company's income has grown almost explosively in recent years, and a lot of taxes have been deducted... If we use this method, we can pay a lot less tax..."
Xu Mei finally spoke her mind and immediately came up with another tax plan.
Zhou Yang frowned after looking at it for a while, then shook his head: "No, we don't want to exploit legal loopholes..."
"Mr. Zhou, this plan is used throughout the entertainment industry. As far as I know, the taxes of entertainment companies such as Xinghui, Huacai Brothers, and Shengshi are all like this... For example, Li Zhongjun, the boss of Xinghui, bought one
The helicopter is registered under the company's name and is used for leasing the employees who are in urgent need..."
"No, this is almost a method of washing hair..."
"Oh." Xu Mei finally stopped talking after seeing Zhou Yang's firm gaze.
Why doesn’t Zhou Yang know that he can pay less tax and make more money by using these methods?
But a gentleman loves money in a wise way. When artists in the world's entertainment industry collapsed, the entire industry was shocked.
Some female celebrities’ tax repayments are in the hundreds of millions. Isn’t this an exaggeration?
After a brief silence, there was a knock on the door in the office.
Later, Zhou Yang saw Song Qianqian walking in.
After seeing Victoria Song, Zhou Yang had a smile on his face.
"Mr. Zhou..."
"Sissi, sit down."
"okay."
When she saw Song Qianqian coming in, Xu Mei smiled politely along with her. At this moment, her cell phone rang, and Xu Mei walked out to answer the phone.
After Xu Mei left, Song Qianqian, who originally had a smile on her face, suddenly became stiff, and then she seemed to be unable to hold herself together, and her eyes were red, especially when she saw Zhou Yang lowering his head and flipping through the files. When he turned to the "Artist Studio"
When she took out the contract document, Song Qianqian trembled slightly and bit her lip: "Mr. Zhou, are you going to drive me away..."
"ah?"
The atmosphere in the office suddenly became a little gloomy.
Zhou Yang looked in astonishment at Song Qianqian's sudden tears streaming down his face. He was caught off guard and quickly took out a napkin and handed it to Song Qianqian.
"Mr. Zhou...I...have you heard any rumors outside...Mr. Zhou, I, I have no other intentions. I just want to write songs and sing well. I did come into contact with Hu Bingqing, and I just wanted to talk to him."
You said, but I really didn’t mean to betray you...I didn’t know that Hu Bingqing is now Li Zhongjun’s mistress..."
"Ah, no, Sissy, that's not what I meant. I, please don't cry first... I don't mean to drive you away. I've seen your development recently and feel that you have established a studio, which will be good for you.
..." Zhou Yang has rarely seen Song Qianqian cry, especially when she cries like this. This is the first time Zhou Yang has seen her cry, and he can't help but feel a little panicked.
"That……"
"Sister Jing talked to me a few days ago. When an artist develops to a certain level, there will inevitably be some internal or external conflicts, as well as certain financial disputes, which may even restrict the artist's development.
I thought about it carefully and found that it was indeed the case. I thought that the best way to get along is through cooperation between the studio and the company..." Zhou Yang finally looked at Song Qianqian seriously after his tears faded slightly and said
He spoke his mind.
He has been learning these days, and inevitably learned about business management and the like. Yesterday, he happened to have a chat with Wang Jing and talked about the subsequent development of the company's artists.
The company actually doesn't have many artists at the moment, most of them are old comrades from the "Mine Bottom" group, and their respective developments are going quite smoothly.
Zhao Zhen has developed rapidly in film and television. After winning a major award, his international status skyrocketed like a rocket. The movie "Brokeback Mountain" was directed by Marie Varney and won an Oscar.
In the foreign impression, the original world of "Brokeback Mountain" was very fierce. As long as Marie Vane didn't shoot blindly, she would most likely succeed in the Olympics.
Song Qianqian is very good at music. Except for "Invisible Wings", which was promoted by Zhou Yang, the rest of her music works are all her original works, especially the song "The Farthest Distance" that will be released tomorrow.
After listening to the demo in Taiwan, Wu Zhenhong was full of praise, saying that this album was more emotional than the previous album "Sunshine", especially the title song "The Farthest Distance", which Wu Zhenhong felt a little moved by.
mood.
Zhou Yang had seriously considered Song Qianqian's future development and had seen Song Qianqian's share-sharing contract.
The sharing contract is actually quite loose, basically 50/50, which is much better than Xinghui's. But when I think about Song Qianqian's personal creative ability and her unique ability in all aspects, I really want her to be one of my own artists.
, no matter what brand is divided, everything is divided at 50:50. This is actually unrealistic. Especially after seeing some artists and bosses in the circle having conflicts with the company over some financial issues, and finally breaking out, I naturally feel unhappy.
I hope Victoria Song and herself will reach this point.
Moreover, this year is Song Qianqian's contract year. Even if Song Qianqian is willing to sign according to the original contract, no one can guarantee that she will be uncomfortable in the future, and the conflicts will become increasingly irreconcilable.
Instead of doing this, it is better to take the initiative to talk to Song Qianqian about your ideas and help Song Qianqian set up her own studio...
"I...Mr. Zhou, I, I..." When Song Qianqian heard Zhou Yang seriously express her thoughts, Song Qianqian, who had stopped crying a little, was so moved that she burst into tears.
After staying in this circle for so many years, what she has seen is basically intrigues and greed. No one has ever thought like this to Zhou Yang from the perspective of others. It is as if a ray of sunshine shines in her heart, making her heart
The complex emotions are difficult to describe.
"Don't cry, this is a good thing, why are you crying..."
"me……"
"This is the studio's contract. The studio is affiliated with our Huaxing. Look, if necessary, Sister Jing can help set up the studio..."
"..."
Song Qianqian accepted the contract in the lake of tears. She was moved and felt a little confused in her heart. She felt that there was a piece of land suddenly empty.
……………………
"Bingqing, have you sent our contract to Song Qianqian?"
"sent……"
"Is there any reply over there?"
"Not yet, I'm going to make a call."
"okay."
Early morning on October 4th.
There are still seven hours until the release of "The Farthest Distance".
Li Zhongjun stayed in the company and watched Hu Bingqing pick up the phone and dial Song Qianqian's number.
No one answered the phone.
Li Zhongjun is not in a hurry. His contract with Song Qianqian's studio is very loose and the share is very low, only 15%. He also has priority in enjoying all resources of Xinghui.
This is considered a top contract in the entire entertainment industry.
Hu Bingqing has been talking on the phone here, and there is a knock on the door over there.
Then, he saw Zhou Yilin walking in from the outside with a solemn expression on his face.
He signaled Hu Bingqing to leave. Hu Bingqing hesitated for a moment, then nodded, with a bit of disappointment in his eyes.
After Hu Bingqing left, Zhou Yilin looked at Li Zhongjun: "Mr. Li, "Lizard Man" is going to suffer a disaster. This movie may not be as good as Zhou Yang's other movies. I just say that Director Cao's vision is not good...
