Chapter 110 The so-called blocking
Paying taxes, this trick is also quite powerful in China, in fact, it is very powerful in any country, and paying taxes in the United States is even more ruthless.
But Ye Ming had already put this trick in the air, as a traverser, if you said that you were not guarding against this hand, you would be embarrassed to tell others that you came through the crossing.
Therefore, Ye Ming shook his head and said: "This is naturally different, if my film is a brilliant film and television investment, then I will definitely pay taxes on time at the box office, after all, the company is registered here."
But Brilliant Network is different, Brilliant Network is registered in the Cayman Islands, this time to participate in the investment of a movie like Millionaire in the Slums, it is a matter of Brilliant Network, and it has no direct relationship with Brilliant Film and Television. ”
This is Ye Ming's means, the company is not directly registered in China, but transferred to the Cayman Islands. Hearing this, Han Shanping was also stunned for a moment: "Aren't all your companies yours?
Ye Ming said unhurriedly: "Third master, my brilliant network is not the only one whose shares, but there are quantum funds, and some other foreign shares, I am just a major shareholder, therefore, at this time, in order to reduce unnecessary trouble, in fact, when I cooperated with the quantum fund, I had already transferred the company to Cayman."
In this place, you can start a company with a symbolic amount of money, pay a little management fee every year, and the rest of you like to play how you want, and no one cares what other taxes you want, such as Coca-Cola, Microsoft, Apple and other international large companies, which are generally registered in the Cayman Islands. ”
This is an international trend, and later many Internet companies in China learned to move their companies to the Cayman Islands.
However, this is a new situation after all. Ye Ming is very familiar, it doesn't mean that Han Shanping is also very familiar with this matter, so in such a situation, Han Shanping hesitated and said, "Okay, let's talk about this matter here first." You go back first, and if there's anything going on, I'll come back to you. ”
Ye Ming played a trick of the golden cicada to get out of the shell, therefore, Han Shanping was also a little tricky, after sending Ye Ming away, Han Shanping found the leader a little depressed, and told the situation directly to several leaders, and Han Shanping also expressed his opinion: "I think Ye Ming is this kid." I had been on guard for a long time, who would have thought that he would transfer his company to the Cayman Islands, I don't even know about this place, I have never heard of such a place as the Cayman Islands before. ”
Han Shanping naturally hadn't heard of it before, because in Huaxia, there are not many companies that can play like this, and it is not as popular as it was in the future.
At this time, the leader pondered for a moment, and then made a phone call. carefully inquired about the information of Ye Ming's two companies, and then lowered his face and said, "What you said is not wrong. Ye Ming's registration of the brilliant network is indeed not in China, but in what Cayman, this kid has long been on guard, but our opponent is a little cunning. ”
The leader dislikes his subordinates like this the most, if it is to say that Ye Ming is obedient. That's all easy to say, but the thing that Ye Ming showed was obviously not the kind of person who could be very obedient.
Another chubby, a leader who was also more biased against Ye Ming said: "Then in such a situation, what should we do, can it be said that we have no way to do anything about a guy like Ye Ming." People who are allowed to do this take seven or eight billion without collecting taxes at all. ”
Another leader said helplessly: "What can you do with this, it's not the money of Brilliant Film and Television, we don't have the right to collect money at all, and now the seven or eight billion don't say that there is no Brilliant Network, even if it does, it is also a company in Cayman, and it is considered foreign capital."
The money that Ye Ming makes outside, the company is also registered abroad, and the laws of our country have no possibility of collecting money at all, if there is, then he can collect this box office in China, even if it is a foreign company and a movie, we also have to collect taxes. ”
When it comes to the domestic box office of the millionaires in the slums, such a thing is somewhat difficult to say, after all, it is said that in such a situation, the domestic box office tax is also a jujube, and the international box office is different.
The fat leader said: "I don't think I need to be polite to Ye Ming, since this kid changed the company's registered address to Cayman early, then in such a situation, it means that he has the heart to guard against us, this person is not easy to control, we have to knock it, if it is said that he transferred those box office to brilliant film and television, then we can still let him go, but if he does not agree, directly clean up this kid, anyway, the capital's Olympic bid is also successful."
Even if it is to clean up Ye Ming, it is justified, and besides, didn't Jackson say that he wanted to hold a concert? This is not Ye Ming's responsibility, if it is said that without our nod, can they hold a concert? ”
Ye Ming, this guy is doing things too badly, with a box office of seven or eight hundred million, he doesn't give the Bureau of Radio, Film and Television any oil and water, can the leader of such a thing be happy when he looks at it? It is impossible to be happy at all.
Therefore, in such a matter, Ye Ming did a bit excessive, at least in the eyes of the leader, he was a disobedient representative.
Han Shanping immediately said: "I don't think I need to ask about this, Ye Ming, this kid is a diehard, since he does it like this, he will never give up, let him transfer the box office here, then in such a situation, it is simply impossible." If it is said that he is willing to transfer, then in such a matter, it will not be said that he will directly build a company in Cayman. ”
I have to say that Han Shanping still knows Ye Ming relatively well, so his words are a very thorough analysis of Ye Ming's character. There is no need to ask Ye Ming, Ye Ming will not agree.
But at this time, the fat leader said a little unhappily: "If you don't agree, that's disobedient, just block it directly, we don't have Ye Ming in Huaxia." Isn't this film industry going to develop?"
The leader hated his subordinates very much for not listening to him, so at this time, the fat leader's words immediately caused most of the people to nod. This one thing is so settled.
How can you collect money in the country and transfer it to the country? Then you will be able to collect money. Han Shanping walked out, and at the same time thought about a strange problem of leadership, it was really a very strange problem, and I don't know how the leader thought about this matter.
Why did Ye Ming transfer his company to Cayman, didn't he say that he didn't want to pay so many taxes and fees? But at this time, let Ye Ming transfer over, if he wanted, then why didn't he directly register the company in Huaxia.
Although Han Shanping also thinks so.
But in such a case, it's actually more about it. He himself was still on Ye Ming's side.
But some things are ordered by the leader, even if it is Han Shanping, he is the same, only has the part to execute.
Therefore, in such a situation, Ye Ming received a call from the third master again, this time the third master did not directly let Ye Ming over, but told the meaning of the leader on the phone.
Sure enough, the third master still knows Ye Ming very well. After hearing this, Ye Ming thought for a while and said, "This matter." Third master, you don't need to say much, I won't transfer the money over, and this also represents the interests of the company, even if I am willing, those shareholders are also unwilling. You know, this is not my own company, and if I did, I guess they would join forces to impeach me. ”
Ye Ming actually signed an agreement with Quantum Fund, and Ye Ming has absolute control over the entire Brilliant Network, so there is no such thing as a shareholder impeaching him.
But at this time, Han Shanping didn't know such a thing.
Therefore. Han Shanping knew that he couldn't persuade Ye Ming, so he said helplessly: "Stinky boy, I knew that you were such a temper." From my personal standpoint, I appreciate the temper of a person like you very much, but if you stand on the standpoint of the country, then I can't look past such a thing. Some leaders can't look at it either. ”
Ye Ming also said a little helplessly: "This, third master, I don't understand, you said that my company is registered outside, and the money I make is also foreigner's money, so why are there still people in China who are worried about my box office, do you have to pay taxes if I make money myself? According to the law, there is no problem if I don't pay taxes, this is legal." ”
Han Shanping and Ye Ming are also relatively familiar, so they didn't hide anything at all, but said directly: "Actually, on such a question, what you said is right, but there is one point, you have made money."
You have set yourself up on the fire and roasted it.
Some people are jealous of your money. There is nothing wrong with whether your company is registered in China, and your money is also earned by foreigners, but you are a Chinese, just because you are a Chinese, so you make money and do not pay taxes, and the leader is naturally a little unpleasant. That's why there is such a proposal.
But since you insist on doing this, then I will also tell you a piece of news, that is, if you don't agree, you will be banned directly, Jackson will not be used in China, and your movie will not be released in Thailand. ”
This is a threat, you say it's a threat, it's a punishment, anyway, because the leader can't see it, give your little shoes to wear.
Ye Ming was taken aback for a moment, and said in surprise: "Third Master, this thing is not right, why." I'm embarrassed that the film has passed the censorship, and it means that it has been approved for screening. If you're saying you won't let me show at this time, you're always going to have to give me a reason, right?"
Yes, a censored film is not allowed to be screened, if there is no suitable reason, it is a little difficult to convince the public.
Han Shanping said with a smile: "You kid, don't want to kidnap public opinion, anyway, as long as the bureau doesn't want you to release it, it will definitely find enough convincing reasons for everyone."
Don't talk about your movies that have been reviewed, even if they are movies that have been released, as long as the people above nod their heads, it won't be one or two.
Therefore, in such a matter, you accept your fate. Who made you disobedient? ”
This, Ye Ming immediately thought of a very, very famous movie, Farewell My Concubine directed by Brother Chen Kai, this movie is hot Director Chen has won a lot of international awards, and it is said that it should be banned from screening, because it is too famous and has won too many awards, so it will pass the review, and a few small screenings will be even if you give yourself and the director a step down.
This film is a typical example of a film that passed the censorship, but was banned from being screened.
This kind of thing, I go, the people of the General Administration will definitely do it. Therefore, at such a time, Ye Ming shrugged his shoulders and said: "Forget this, ban it, ban it, but I believe that it is impossible to ban it forever, what Brother Chen Kai can do, I can do the same." ”
What Brother Chen Kai did was to say farewell to my concubine, this movie is definitely an exception, and Director Chen's exception is not only this one, but also the later Taoist priest who went down the mountain, and there was a shot of Prince Long, but as a result, Prince Long attracted fans, which caused Director Chen's movie to almost be taken down, but at this time, I still saw Director Chen's energy, and directly found someone to pass the film review.
There are only two directors who can do this in China, one is Chen Kaige, and the other is the national teacher Zhang Yimou.
Anyway, except for these two big directors who have won numerous awards in the world, whoever dares to disobey the rest will die, Feng Xiaogang is no exception, Wang Shuo was the first time he was a director, and he filmed a film I am your father. is also the only movie directed by Feng Xiaogang starring himself, which is also banned. It's because I didn't obey and went to a foreign film festival without being censored.
Of course, later director Feng Xiaogang starred in [Lao Pao], which is a somewhat autobiographical movie, also starring Director Feng, but that is a matter of the future.
Ye Ming said that he wanted to do what director Chen Kaige did, which also made Han Shanping very pleased, he laughed and said: "Actually, I still support you, but some leaders are not happy to see you disobedient, do it well, if you can do this, it is not impossible for you to be released in Thailand." I'll just fight for you when the time comes. (To be continued......)
