Chapter 704: The Thousand Qin Project

Xiao Yao's reason for opening his own studio is different from that of many celebrities.

Nowadays, celebrities generally open their own studios for several reasons: to get rid of corporate constraints, have a higher degree of freedom, better development, and maximize personal benefits. But for Xiao Yao, the reason why he opened the studio is not much related to the reason of maximizing personal income, and it is not very compatible with other reasons.

When he was in Qi Jia's studio before, Xiao Yao was a very special existence. If you want to take on the job, you can't take it if you don't want to, and you are not bound by the company at all, and you have a very high degree of freedom. In terms of career development, Xiao Yao didn't need Qi Jia Studio's resources to help him fight for any jobs and performance opportunities for a long time. In the past few years, Xiao Yao has refused far more performance opportunities than he has accepted.

After Xiao Yao set up his personal studio, there was not much change in these aspects, and the decision on whether to take over the job was still in his own hands. Xiao Yao doesn't accept advertisements, and he doesn't worry about no job offers, and even now he can open projects at his own expense, and Xiao Yao doesn't need the studio's team to help him fight for anything, just help him conduct some preliminary screening. The most important task of Xiao Yao's studio is actually to help him manage his finances, carry out tax planning, and carry out tax avoidance and tax reduction reasonably and legally.

In terms of finances, one of the biggest problems Xiao Yao is currently facing is the tax problem arising from the income brought to him by the animated film "Wall-E".

Xiao Yao has seen many bigwigs fall because of tax issues in his past and present lives, and he attaches great importance to this aspect. Anyway, he has the memory of two lives, he is very confident in his ability to make money, and the money he earns so far is basically guaranteed to have food and clothing, and he doesn't pay much attention to money. Although this movie has brought him that the tax he needs to pay for his income is not a small amount, Xiao Yao does not dare to have any crooked thoughts of tax evasion.

Of course, tax evasion and tax evasion that dare not break the law does not mean that it is impossible to legally avoid and reduce taxes through some technical means. Although Xiao Yao thought that even if he paid 40% of the tax according to the regulations, he would be able to pay less tax or replace paying tax in other ways, of course Xiao Yao was also willing.

Although when this film was established, Xiao Yao invested in his personal capacity, and his income was also classified as personal income, but the studio was established to serve Xiao Yao, and the most important thing for the studio at present is how to deal with the tax issue of Xiao Yao's personal income.

How to do it, Xiao Yao was handed over to these financial professionals invited by the studio to operate, he originally just wanted to listen to it, as a study, and was not prepared to interfere. However, when he heard the plan they proposed, Xiao Yao couldn't help but put forward some suggestions as the boss and made some changes and adjustments.

According to the laws of Huaxia, donations for public welfare are tax deductible for both enterprises and individuals. Compared with paying taxes, public welfare donations can also win some extra good reputation, which is obviously a more cost-effective behavior.

In addition, after the animated film "Walli" was released in China, some voices of "forced donation" of Xiao Yao also appeared on the Internet.

In various interviews and reports before the release of the movie, Tong Luo disclosed that there were only two investors in this movie, his company and Xiao Yao, and Xiao Yao invested more than his company. The animated film "Wall-E" has been released in China, and the box office of more than 2 billion has not only made many insiders red, but also many media and netizens have talked about how much income Xiao Yao can get through this movie. Even if the media has not disclosed that Xiao Yao personally owns all the copyrights of the movie roles, and the overseas box office has not yet come out, it is not difficult to calculate that Xiao Yao can share hundreds of millions of income from the Chinese box office alone.

A young star in his early twenties has an income of hundreds of millions of yuan with an animated movie, and how many people in China are still struggling below the poverty line? Of course, they have to donate money to charity. As a result, some online "keyboard parties" shouted on the Internet that Xiao Yao should take out the money to do charity. This means that this year is not the year before last, and there has been no major disaster such as the "Wuyou County Earthquake", otherwise this kind of "forced donation" will definitely be even more noisy.

The studio asked Xiao Yao to come out to do charity at this time, on the one hand, public welfare donations can reduce a certain amount of tax payment, and on the other hand, the consideration is that it can just plug the mouths of some "forced donors" on the Internet.

Xiao Yao himself does not refuse to do charity, in fact, in the past two years, in addition to building four schools in Wuyou County, Xiao Yao has also asked Fang to build several schools in several poor areas, and will also carry out some material assistance on a regular basis. However, when it came to using this incident to plug the mouths of some "forced donors" on the Internet, Xiao Yao was very unhappy.

At its core, philanthropic acts should be voluntary, and everyone has property rights to their property, which is a fundamental right protected by law. The "forced donation phenomenon" is actually a kind of deformed "moral kidnapping" logic, or it is completely illogical.

Although Xiao Yao is too lazy to stand up and publicly refute the "forced donation", he will definitely not do any high-profile charity at this time to block the mouths of those who "forced donation".

Now the studio wants to arrange Xiao Yao to do charity for tax reasons, Xiao Yao has no objection to spending money, but those online "forced donors" are asking Xiao Yao to donate to remote poor mountainous areas, but Xiao Yao wants to spend money on those who are not poor areas, those who are not struggling on the poverty line.

"It's all too common to donate money and materials to build schools in remote and impoverished areas. After listening to the plans of several department heads, Xiao Yao shook his head and said to a few people, "I want to do something different!"

"What moth did you come up with?" Fang still looked at Xiao Yao and said.

"Most of the people who do charity and public welfare are for poor areas and those who have no money, mainly to help children. Xiao Yao said, "I want to do the opposite, donate the money to the big city, to the rich places, most of the objects are not children, at least not children who are too poor to go to school." ”

"Instead of helping remote and poor areas, they donate money to rich big cities," several department heads looked at Xiao Yao strangely, "Boss, what kind of logic are you?"

"It's very simple! I'm not doing charity, I'm doing public welfare. Xiao Yao said with a smile, "Public welfare donations can be offset against the tax amount, and I can pay less taxes if I do public welfare!"

"It makes sense to do public welfare in big cities. The person in charge of the publicity department, a young woman named Hu Wenjie, nodded, and guessed, "Then you want to do environmental protection public welfare activities? This can just echo the environmental theme of "Wall-E". ”

"Boss, do you have any specific ideas or plans?" asked a young man named Sun Minghai, the head of the Ministry of Commerce.

"No," Xiao Yao shook his head, "I don't want to do environmental protection, but to do public welfare activities related to art, to be precise, music." I don't have a specific plan yet, but I have a preliminary idea, and I even have a name in mind. ”

"Musically?" everyone else looked at Xiao Yao curiously, "What is it?"

"This public welfare activity is called the "Thousand Piano Project"!" Xiao Yao said, "To put it simply, I just want to donate 1,000 pianos to the economically developed big cities in China!"

"Donate 1,000 pianos, to whom?" Hu Wenjie asked, "Do you want to choose some schools in those big cities and donate them to them?"

"Will there be a shortage of pianos in schools in first-tier cities?" Xiao Yao asked with a smile.

"Aren't there schools in less prosperous places like suburbs and urban villages?" Hu Wenjie said.

"It has nothing to do with schools! It's not a suburb or an urban village!" Xiao Yao shook his head and said, "I want to place these 1,000 pianos in a more prosperous and lively place like the pedestrian street, or a more literary and artistic place like the avant-garde art district." The most important thing is that they should be placed on the street, and any passerby can go up and play them!"

"Huh?" several department heads were taken aback.

"When I was abroad, I saw that there were pianos on the streets of some cities in some countries, and passers-by could go up and play casually. Xiao Yao said, "There are many such videos on the Internet, and I think you may have seen them." ”

"I've seen it!" Sun Minghai raised his hand and said, "There are indeed such places abroad. So you're going to transplant those things directly to Huaxia?"

"Yes!" Xiao Yao nodded, "In terms of history, our China is no worse than any country, and in terms of economic development, we are also very strong now." But when it comes to literature and art, there seems to be a certain gap between us and foreign countries. I have no intention of devoting myself to education, so I can always learn from some foreign cities and put some pianos on the street for passers-by to play and improve the artistic atmosphere, right?"

Several people listened to Xiao Yao's words and were speechless for a while. But when I think about it, Xiao Yao's doing this is indeed a thing that can be classified as a public welfare act, and such a maverick approach is not only very much in line with Xiao Yao's whimsical and willful image, but also much more novel than donating money and materials to poor areas to build schools, and it will also be very interesting in publicity, which is a good choice.

"Then what are you going to do? Do you have an idea?" asked Sun Minghai again.

"A little idea, but no details. Xiao Yao said, "Although it may not be accurate for me to say this, but in my impression, the more developed the economy, the higher the artistic accomplishment and atmosphere." If I put these pianos in remote mountainous areas, I don't think many people can play them, so there is no point. It should be placed in the more prosperous pedestrian streets, squares, and art districts in big cities, so that these pianos will have a relatively large utilization rate, right?"

"It's better to be placed in a big city where it's more lively or where the scope of literature and art is stronger. Hu Wenjie nodded, and then asked, "Which cities are they?"

"There must be four super first-tier cities in Yanshen and Yangshen, but there must be more than these four cities," Xiao Yao said, "I haven't thought about those first-tier cities and quasi-first-tier cities, you should consider deciding!"

"Leave it to us to decide?" asked Hu Wenjie.

"Of course," Xiao Yao said with a smile, "I'll set the direction or add a framework, and you will implement it!

"I did a LiveHouse tour last year and traveled to nine cities. Xiao Yao added, "The artistic atmosphere of these nine cities is relatively good, and it has a certain relationship with me, so I suggest you can consider it, but you don't have to be limited to these nine cities." The "Thousand Piano Project" is a thousand pianos, more than 100 in a city, I think there are a lot of them, and it is likely that there are not so many suitable places. Of course, you should not choose too many cities, because if there is only one piano in one city, it will also go against the original intention and purpose of this plan. ”

"I understand!" they all nodded.

"We are inseparable from the support of the local government to do this public welfare activity. Xiao Yao said, "After choosing the city, I think it is better to negotiate with the local government department to decide where to place it in the city." ”

"It seems that the boss has really considered a lot of aspects!" Sun Minghai asked with a smile, "But there are still many problems with this event." After all, a piano is worth a lot of money, and ordinary people may not be able to afford it, so it is difficult to guarantee that no one will want to steal it. Also, the piano should need regular maintenance and tuning and tuning, right? Who is the cost of this maintenance and tuning person? These are not like buying a piano and throwing it there, as long as you invest a lump sum, these costs are sustainable. How can we solve it?"

"It's still the same, find the local government to negotiate a solution!" Xiao Yao said with a smile, "Our plan is to cooperate with the government departments to maximize the impact, and their local governments will also show their faces in the media together and follow the benefits." We've taken so many pianos out, and it's not too much for them to solve safety problems and maintenance problems?"

"And it's not difficult to solve these problems!" Xiao Yao added, "For example, if you have a safety problem, you can find a way to fix the piano on the ground so that it can't move, put it under a conspicuous urban Skynet camera, or put it outside a 24-hour store, it's some precautionary measures." When the time comes, let the local government inform the police to pay a little attention to the places where the piano is played, and it can also play a role in hanging around there when patrolling.

Another example is the problem of maintenance and tuning, this can be pulled on the piano manufacturer. After this thing comes out, we must find media reports, we will mention the manufacturer who bought the piano by the way, and there is a manufacturer logo on the piano, which is also publicity for the piano brand, and this is a public welfare act, and the publicity effect may be better than the effect of their money on advertising. Not only can we use this to bargain with the piano manufacturers and let them send some people from the local agents to be responsible for the maintenance of the pianos, it shouldn't be a difficult thing, right?

Several department heads in the studio watched Xiao Yao talk there, and their eyes widened wider and wider.

"Boss, did you plan this a long time ago, or did you come up with it temporarily?" After Xiao Yao finally stopped, Hu Wenjie couldn't help but ask.

"I just thought of it, and I said it wherever I thought, so it can be chaotic. Xiao Yao said, "I'm just putting forward some suggestions, how to operate it, or you can negotiate and decide it yourself, I just need this as long as the matter is like this." ”

"Where do you think of it?" Hu Wenjie shook her head and sighed with a smile, "Boss, it's a pity that you don't plan publicity activities with your brain!"

"I'm going to do publicity planning, so what do you want to do?" Xiao Yao said with a smile.

"By the way," Xiao Yao finally added, "in this matter, try not to arrange my trip." Anyway, let everyone know that this matter was done by my studio, and I can spend the money, interviews, ceremonies, etc., so try not to arrange for me to appear in public!"
