Chapter 352 As long as she's a woman, it's fine!
There is nothing much to say about the cooperation.
Fan Wumian wanted to seize the opportunity to build a platform through an independent new agency to increase his influence while continuing to generate income.
There are some tax havens both at home and abroad. Some places have set up some tax incentives to attract companies to settle in, including artist studios. As long as it is legal and compliant and not too excessive, it is actually not a big problem.
In order to stimulate economic development, many companies have been turned a blind eye. If the tax authorities are determined to conduct a thorough investigation, there will be few bosses who are completely clean these days.
The reason why the "tax backlog storm" in the previous life was so serious was mainly because many celebrities not only avoided high personal income taxes, but even did not want to pay corporate income tax of about 20%. They also engaged in "yin-yang contracts" to reduce the overall tax rate to single digits and enjoy tax and fee reduction benefits.
This is no longer called fleecing the sheep, it's almost like peeling off the entire sheepskin.
They made so much money but didn't want to take any obligations. They made tens of millions from a movie. Except for themselves, anyone who watched the movie would say, "It was not unjust that they died."
On the other hand, Fan Wumian.
He was naturally able to use Hong Kong, a global financial port, to lower tax rates, including selling the Qianlong Shroud, releasing movies and albums, and accepting advertising endorsements.
Last year, we paid a total of 70 to 80 million RMB in taxes, and as a result, we received some honorary certificates for active tax payment in the mainland.
The money he earned was so much that Fan Wumian didn't know how to spend it, and he was already very content.
On the twelfth day of the first lunar month, a real estate agent found him.
It is said that when the 3200-square-meter mansion in Yanjing is completed, an overseas Chinese wants to spend million yuan to reserve the two-story courtyard where he lives now. Compared with the starting price of more than million yuan, this price has more than doubled.
After looking around, it seems that the only big-ticket consumer item I bought was the light green Lamborghini Aventador, which I purchased at the end of last year.
At other times, apart from daily expenses, any money spent is equivalent to an investment. There is naturally no need to be stingy and take advantage of loopholes at the risk of your house being ruined and you being sent to jail.
He only reminded Xu Zheng and his wife that the bottom line was to pay corporate income tax in the form of a studio and enjoy some local tax exemptions and reductions, and they could not continue to test the waters.
Xu Zheng now earns several million a year, and he only needs to pay tens or hundreds of millions of taxes, so he nodded and agreed without hesitation.
the next day.
The crew of "My Love from the Star" officially started filming.
I felt it was necessary to let Feng Ying'er get the feel for it first, so I filmed her scene first, and the location was arranged at Tangcheng Yipintang in Lujiazui.
The crew used the houses in Tangcheng Yipin as a location for filming, and also received HK$300 million in product placement fees, with the requirements that the name of the building must appear no less than five times and must be mentioned at least five times, and that the private club, underground parking lot, river view, etc. must all be included in the film.
In fact, the developer wanted to give Fan Wumian a discount price and sell him a 7999-square-meter penthouse duplex for RMB 1206 million. The house comes with a 260-square-meter swimming pool and a 200-square-meter sky garden.
The rumored price of this property last year was "12 yuan per square meter", so the quote he gave was not really a rip-off and was far below the market price.
But after Fan Wumian did the math, he found that there was no point. The return on investment was too low. It seemed that it would be better to buy some ordinary commercial housing at a few thousand yuan per square meter, or some scarce old villas.
In addition, the developer had already given him a manor villa in Sheshan, so he had no shortage of places to live in Shanghai, so he politely declined.
----------------
It's about 10 o'clock in the morning.
When everything was ready, an unknown middle-aged actress played the role of a well-dressed lady carrying a Hermès Kelly bag.
In the first-class club in Tangcheng, this woman came over in high heels, sat opposite Feng Ying'er, and said fiercely with a bad look:
"As long as you break up with my son, I'll give you as much as you want!"
Feng Ying'er smiled elegantly and said, "I'm not short of money."
The woman smiled contemptuously, beckoned her finger to call her secretary, and handed Feng Ying'er a check for 500 million.
Follow the script.
When the woman returned home, she suddenly found a "little puppy" lying on her son's bed, hiding in the quilt and not daring to see anyone.
She suddenly misunderstood their relationship, fainted from anger and was sent to the hospital. When she saw the little puppy in the hospital, she fainted again.
immediately.
The woman hurriedly found Feng Ying'er again, bringing with her many gifts, and said in a flattering manner:
"The check from last time is your betrothal gift. I also bought you some things as an apology. I was wrong in that matter. After I went back, the more I thought about it, the more satisfied I was with you. You are the destined daughter-in-law of my Li family. Please marry my son as soon as possible! Any woman is fine!"
Feng Ying'er was stunned, not knowing what happened.
"Ka! Very good, take a break."
In order to help Feng Ying'er get into the role as quickly as possible, Fan Wumian personally took charge of this part.
In the script of "My Love from the Star", Feng Ying'er plays a top female star, and the scene where she acts with the woman is a play within a play.
On the way to the large flat.
Female director Lin Fenyu said to Fan Wumian:
"That scene just now was so interesting. Why don't you find someone to write it and invest in a TV series? A domineering CEO falls in love with a female employee. If you mix in some workplace, family, and comedy elements, it should be popular with many viewers."
Fan Wumian nodded and said:
"It seems like I can give it a try, but in addition to my two TV series, there is another one starring Huang Shengyi called "City Hunter", which will start filming at the end of April. Plus the TV series "Myth" with Jack Long, this year is already busy enough, so I guess I have to arrange it for next year."
Director Lin Fenyu said happily:
"It doesn't matter if it's later, just let me shoot it then. I already have a lot of ideas." Fan Wumian did not refuse and felt that this arrangement was more appropriate.
He has not started filming his own scenes yet. Last time he played a ghost who was wrongly killed, and this time he plays an alien who was accidentally left on Earth and is looking forward to returning home.
It's easy to get bored of playing similar roles too much. I don't want to take on this kind of South Korean romance drama in the short term. I need to train some new handsome actors.
Feng Ying'er has an extroverted personality and was quite relaxed during filming, and her performance was much better than expected.
We took photos until we had lunch at noon, and then continued shooting without stopping.
The scene where the alien was accidentally stranded on Earth was moved to the back of the shooting, and the plot where Fan Wumian and Feng Ying'er met unexpectedly was played first.
At night after dark.
Feng Ying'er drank a lot of wine and drunkenly pressed the code for the door of Fan Wumian's house.
They had no choice but to take her home and even brought a trash can for her to vomit.
In the drama, she discovered that Fan Wumian didn't even recognize her. Feng Ying'er even pulled her to the balcony, pointed at the poster on the opposite building, and said that she was last year's "Golden Panda Award for Best Actress".
An extra-large poster was hung just opposite the Huangpu River, taking the opportunity to endorse a brand of sanitary pads.
Because of this poster, Feng Ying'er earned nearly 200 million yuan in endorsement fees.
When it comes to product placement and endorsements, Fan Wumian has always been very professional.
The script has been polished several times and is now very complete. We just need to shoot according to the designed plot.
The less interested Fan Wumian is in Feng Ying'er, the more she pays attention to Fan Wumian. She still uses the routine of repeated pulling, which makes people addicted to the filming.
I was busy until after 9 o'clock in the evening.
After finishing work, he took Feng Ying'er to the opposite side of the river to the huge poster and asked the photographer to help take a few photos.
These photos will be posted on Penguin Weibo in the evening for promotion, and we will start warming up for "My Love from the Star" early.
Promote it during the filming phase, arrange a few news items during the filming, and continue promoting it after the filming is completed. This will help increase future ratings and increase Feng Ying'er's popularity.
We stayed at the Peace Hotel that night, and their rooms were next to each other.
Feng Ying'er came to visit.
She hadn't completely gotten out of the role yet, and tried to push Fan Wumian down with the arrogant attitude of a big star, and she succeeded twice.
I couldn't sleep that night. My mind was full of thoughts on how to make this new drama better. I subconsciously considered the scenery, lines, and plot.
Fan Wumian also knew that he was getting stuck in a dead end, so he went to the study in the suite late at night to surf the Internet to distract himself.
Anyway, the crew is his, and if he doesn't go, everyone can have a rest. They can also shoot later in the morning. It has nothing to do with "being a big shot".
I checked my mailbox and found that my subordinates had sent me an email saying that they had met with Zhang Yiming and successfully signed him with an annual salary of 36 RMB.
The two sides agreed to build a team around him to first create a film review and ticket sales website, and if successful, he would be rewarded with a high amount of options.
After building a platform similar to "Miaoyan Movie", Fan Wumian also plans to ask Zhang Yiming to design a push algorithm for Tudou.com to prioritize showing users some TV shows and movies that they may be interested in, thereby improving the user experience in detail.
A large number of pirated video websites have sprung up on the market. If you want users to pay and recharge, you can only start from other aspects, including providing high-definition picture quality, reducing pop-ups and advertisements, increasing interactivity, and reducing costs.
As expected, running a video website business is indeed troublesome. After finally digitally restoring a film or TV series, it is often taken away and put on someone else's pirated platform just as it is posted on the platform.
Because the film library is too small, some forums even have related tutorials, which charge a little money to help people build a video website and teach others how to make money from advertising.
When it comes to the protection of intellectual property rights, it is difficult to put it into words.
Fan Wumian's album, "Emperor Huang Tiandi" novel and movie were all affected. I just felt that it was a bit of a waste to transfer a talent like Zhang Yiming to Tudou.com until the Miaoyan movie platform was completed.
When smartphones become popular, he should be allowed to create apps like "Toutiao Daily" and "Douyin Short Video".
Every industry has a ceiling. Ordinary people don’t even know who the CEOs of the three platforms “iQIYI, Youku and Tencent Video” are. Several companies are crazy about internal competition and have been on the verge of bankruptcy for years.
However, Zhang Yiming was once the richest man in the country for a period of time. The huge difference in size is obvious at a glance.
Online video platforms are having a hard time, which is also related to the fact that celebrities have set up studios one after another.
As the cost of film remuneration goes up, the production cost will increase, and then be passed on to online video platforms and TV stations, pushing up the cost of purchasing film sources.
Film and television companies, video websites and TV stations often suffer losses, but celebrities receive high salaries and live a glamorous life.
Now that these situations have not happened yet, Fan Wumian feels that he needs to make arrangements in advance.
For example, find a pseudonym to take the lead and form an alliance.
In the future, we should find ways to limit film pay and purchasing prices, just like the current practice of TV stations under the guidance of the Central Bank setting a price cap for purchasing TV dramas, so as to avoid unfair competition.
The money earned from running an agency and the actors is definitely not enough for Tudou to cover its losses. It currently has only more than 8 million active users and is already losing several million every month.
The money it makes from membership fees and advertising is not enough to fill its stomach.
