"I can pay the commission fee myself," Kinukawa Kazuhui said a little embarrassedly, "I also have to pay for filming..."
“The little money you have is reserved for you to start a family in the future!” Odagiri Toshi also interrupted with a dark face.
Morizono Kikuto laughed, "Hehui, your brother Toshiya is helping you stand up, which means that you are a member of their family, and they will support you if something happens. It will be bad if you refuse.
."
Kinukawa Kazuki didn’t expect that he still had such an intention, so he didn’t refuse anymore and nodded obediently, “Then let brother Toshiya pay!”
“Ahem, okay,” Odagiri Toshi also turned around awkwardly, “Hehui, you can go eat cake over at my desk, I still have something to talk to them about.”
“Yes!” Kinukawa Kazuhui was in a good mood and ran away with the cake box.
"It's about the Onmyoji series of films," Morizono Kikuto looked at Chi Feichi with a more serious expression, "Have you read the script? Although it has not been completely completed, the whole series is composed of small stories.
After splicing it together, the plot related to the Daitengu that runs through the front and back can also be adjusted. Someone suggested that we can start preparations, and Min and I also felt that we could start making arrangements."
Chi Fei had no objection. Odagiri Toshi was also worried about this. Odagiri Toshi also felt that it could be prepared, so he just prepared it. "Don't worry about the funds, it's no problem."
"Yes, we don't lack investors. The problem is that there is no shortage." Odagiri Toshiya smiled strangely, with a feeling of "pain and happiness", "Originally, you, Kikuto and Sonoko all planned to invest, and the company also planned to invest.
We have already negotiated investment issues with Field Group and Suzuki Consortium on the condition of subsequent IP development, but I forgot that this rumor cannot be concealed, and there are still people who plan to get involved, but it's okay, their investment is only for film and television
In terms of aspects, it will not affect your IP’s subsequent development interests.”
Morizono Kikuto took over with a smile, "Toshiya was picky and rejected many people, but there were two that really couldn't be avoided, or in other words, it would be a pity to bypass them. One was Okino Yoko's economic company, and they asked to be let go.
Yoko Okino plays an important role, investment is just a formality, the important thing is that they are willing to exchange resources, and there is something that Toshiya has been eyeing for a long time."
"You also know that Okino Yoko's idol aura is too strong. The female characters in it are all ghosts. They have to act ugly when they need to be ugly, and they have to be serious when they need to be serious. We value this series very much and will never allow anyone to
I'm worried that I might get into trouble with them because I'm acting cute in it," Odagiri Toshi also frowned and said with a headache, "In addition, this series will take a long time to shoot. If an actor fails in the middle and is replaced by someone else, it might offend the audience.
Even if we sign a contract, there is a maximum limit on the compensation. If they really want to take advantage of us, they can still afford it. If we give her an unimportant role, the other party will definitely not agree. If we give her an important role, the early stage will be difficult.
We were very popular with the audience, and then they threatened us with running away, so wasn’t it just for me to get some resources so that they could grasp our pain points?”
Chi Feichi thought for a moment, "It's okay, I promise them, as long as the death is wonderful, death is sometimes the sublimation of the character. Although some people will criticize it, it can become a classic. Leave those to the screenwriter to consider. If one doesn't work, find two
, you just need to choose the best solution.”
Odagiri Toshi also nodded, "Okay, then agree to them. The other investor who plans to invest is a distribution company in Hollywood. They come here to make money from investment, and their attitude is very good. I can't refuse until the negotiation is completed."
, I will send the relevant information to you, and of course, I will also send it to Yuanzi."
“The other party doesn’t plan to launder money, right?” Chi Feichi asked directly.
There are many cases of using the film and television industry to launder money.
For example, the money laundering party invests in a movie, and then makes an agreement with the theater to sell movie tickets at a discount or let the theater make false data to show that the theater is "full", and the money laundering party will privately advance the loss of the theater's discount or empty seats, etc.
After the box office statistics are completed, the money laundering party will share the box office share of the "big hit" with the theater and convert the money into legal income.
With such a change, the funds will shrink to a certain extent, and coupled with taxes, the funds will be consumed a lot, but black money is easy to obtain, and for the money laundering party, the consumption can be tolerated.
For another example, a company on the money laundering party spends a sum of money to invite an international star to participate in a certain promotional event. It is clearly recorded that the cost is 500,000 US dollars, but the money is not transferred directly, but communicated through an 'intermediary'
, this 'intermediary' is also a money laundering party. It will negotiate with big stars, give them 100,000, and then use secret accounts to pay 500,000 privately.
A big star will certainly not refuse if he can get 600,000 yuan. Although some of the money comes from improper sources and is not taxed, that money can be dispersed and used in shady places.
For example, for things like smoothing relationships, this kind of black money is more convenient.
And the 'agency' took the 500,000 transferred from the company's clear account and said that 400,000 of it was agency fees, while the money he paid to the star was only 100,000. That would make him scolded as evil at best, but the 400,000 has become his
of legitimate income, the purpose of money laundering is achieved.
Of course, the specific operation is more complicated and there are many more routines.
As far as he knew, when Belmode was operating under the identities of 'Sharon Wynyard' and 'Chrissy Wynyard', he helped the organization as a fund intermediary, sometimes laundering black money for legal consumption.
They lure people into taking the bait, and sometimes help launder money for some predators, collecting the other party's black money and using it as funds for the organization's illegal activities.
The organization's money laundering system is very mature. It takes advantage of loopholes in the operating rules of film, television, finance, etc., and can help others launder money and make profits. Similarly, the existence of an organization will also be very troublesome.
.
It’s not that THK cannot help people launder money, it’s just that the forces that need to launder money are very complicated, so you must be careful to prevent the situation from getting out of control in the end.
When encountering unknown foreign investment, you need to pay attention to whether the other party has the intention of money laundering, find out the other party's background, and find out how much risk they have to bear.
"The other party probably has no such plan," Odagiri Toshiya said. "If they have such a plan, they will hint at it during the negotiation. After all, it requires our cooperation, but they did not say it, but I will pay attention to it again. You don't have to worry.
And then..."
"Feichi, let's get together tonight!" The smile on Morizono Kikuto's face suddenly became ambiguous, "Gather with the other two investors. They said before that they hope we call you and Yuanzi, but Yuanzi seems
I made an appointment with someone to go on a long trip, but I don’t have time to go there. If you have nothing to do, you can go and have a look, there are all kinds of girls there!"
Odagiri Toshi also secretly looked at each other and Morizono Kikuto, and encouraged them with a smile, "Yes, they are both people from related industries, and the atmosphere is relatively relaxed. You can go together when you have time."
He and Morizono Kikuto had locked the door in broad daylight. First, they talked about some relatively confidential matters of the company, fearing that others would overhear, and then they secretly discussed——
At tonight's party, we must fool Chi Feichi no matter what, and see how Chi Feichi will react.
He felt that Chi Feichi was the same as before, and that this guy was too calm. Moriyuan Kikuto had a completely different view, saying that everyone was in their prime of life, and Chi Feichi was younger than them, so he just happened to be restless.
period, it will definitely not be stable.
He was really curious as to whose idea he or Morizono Kikuto had the correct idea.
Chi Feichi caught Odagiri Toshiya flirting with Morizono Kikuto, and felt confident.
There is a pit.
However, they have no conflict of interest. Based on the relationship between the three of them, it is at best a joke that is not even a prank.
He probably also understands the nature of this kind of gathering.
The circle is not so clean, and among people without background support, a large number of people engage in shady transactions for resources and to climb up.
The rules placed in the dark exist in every country.
He doesn’t have anything important at hand recently. Hiroki Sawada went out to play with the kids. He will be at the Mori Detective Agency tonight, so you might consider checking it out...
"How about it?" Morizono Kikuto said with a smile, "What kind of girl do you like? Let Toshiya arrange it."
Chi Fei nodded belatedly and said, "I'll look at it then and pick a clean one."
Morinen Kikuto: “……”
(゜ロ゜)
Wait, wait, agreed? Is this agreed?
Odagiri Toshiya: "..."
(゜ロ゜)
Report, this guy doesn’t play by the rules!
As a person who has just turned 20 and usually doesn’t talk much, shouldn’t he be a little shy? Don’t be shy, just be a little reserved.
Sinukawa Kazuhui, who was sitting on an office chair and eating cake, raised his head in confusion, "Brother Toshiya, are you talking about the girl you like?"
Odagiri Toshi was also scared into a cold sweat. He almost forgot that there was a child sitting over there. If his old man knew what they were talking about here, he felt that there was a high probability that his legs would be broken. "Yes, yes,
We just have a casual chat and ask each other what kind of girls they like."
Kinukawa Kazuki was fooled and asked expectantly, "Does Brother Toshiya have a girl he likes?"
“Well, it doesn’t really count...” Odagiri Toshiya said dryly.
Morizono Kikuto turned his head and looked at the office door, struggling to hold back his laughter.
…
That night, Odagiri Toshi also booked a well-known sky restaurant.
The restaurant is located in a high-rise building in the downtown area. One side of the floor-to-ceiling windows faces the Tokyo Metropolis Tower, and the other side has a glass terrace facing the bridges and driveways that lead in all directions.
The interior decoration is fashionable and exquisite, with food and drinks placed on the table, and candles on the candlesticks are lit up, reflecting on the glass windows together with the bright lights outside.
The dinner was a buffet. Apart from the three invitees, Chi Feichi, Morizono Kikuto, and Odagiri Toshiya, the rest were the management staff of Okino Yoko Economic Company, two investor representatives from Hollywood, and industry leaders.
Well-known screenwriters and directors, well-known male and female artists.
Among them are people like Okino Yoko and Midorikawa Kurara who were brought in by the company to support the scene, some who received invitations through their fame, and some who had financial backers and backgrounds and got invitations from other channels.
For the first half hour, everyone gathered together to talk and eat. The management talked to the management, the director exchanged compliments, and the artists casually chatted or joked with the artists. No one would rashly break into other circles.
.
After they had finished eating and chatted, the people who had gathered together to talk gradually dispersed.
Odagiri Toshi also takes the girls from his company through the streets every day, helping the girls to get familiar with people from Hollywood. As soon as he finished greetings, he turned around and found Morizono Kikuto leaning against the cocktail bar, chatting with two beautiful girls.
The female artist chatted and smiled like a sea king who started to cast a net to catch fish. When he turned around, he found that Chi Feichi had taken a glass of wine and sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, enjoying the view and drinking, as leisurely as a salted fish who didn't want to do anything.
