Chapter 045: A Short Break
After returning to the magic capital, Li Mo was not in a hurry to break up with Zong Shuai, the two drove the Buick car parked at the airport and went to Li Mo's studio in the magic capital together.
Having said that, since the studio was registered, Li Mo has never been there, but Zong Shuai is busy running back and forth, in a sense, Li Mo is indeed very competent as a shopkeeper.
Although the cast and crew contract of "Love Apartment" was drawn up in the name of the studio, due to the small number of crew members, the contract was basically signed at the relevant law firm.
To be honest, the way the studio is now, if you really want to bring people here to sign contracts, God knows how many people dare to sign their names on those few pieces of paper.
Although it is still unclear how the income tax of this time and space is collected, it is absolutely impossible not to pay taxes for such a large amount of money.
Thinking of the storm before the crossing in his previous life, Li Mo particularly emphasized Zong Shuai: Even if the studio is now small in scale and has few personnel, it must not be sloppy in terms of taxation and law.
Zong Shuai vaguely mentioned that he knew that a small city in the north had great preferential policies for taxation, and many insiders were interested in registering companies there.
However, after Li Mo found out that the so-called preferential policies were only phased measures introduced by the local government, he decisively and firmly rejected the proposal to register a company there and then come forward to carry out commercial operations there.
Li Mo knows that these so-called "cheap" are not so easy to take advantage of. For a company that aspires to become bigger and stronger, any small omission in the early stage can become a fatal danger that leads to the collapse of the empire after a few years.
Although Li Mo in his previous life received nearly two billion box office results in his first play, he crossed into this world before he had time to enjoy the benefits of success, so strictly calculated, in two lifetimes combined, it was the first time that he had so much money on hand.
It's time to plan your way forward......
The first priority was to put the basic structure of the studio in place.
Although the current location of the studio is not large, it has convenient transportation and the environment can be regarded as a mid-range office building, and it has only been rented for 2 months, so it is possible to find a new office location for a while, but the personnel must be enriched in a hurry.
Front desk, accounting, cashier, day-to-day staff......
Well, let's ensure the most basic manpower first, and wait for the premiere of "Love Apartment" in a few months before considering expansion.
Li Mo plans to repay the mortgage of the house first, which will be four million less......
The remaining five million, if put on an ordinary person, is a huge amount of money, and if it is used to toss in the film and television industry, it is really not enough to do anything. At least when the premiere of "Love Apartment" is completed, the second round, the third round and even the online broadcast rights, these are all sold, let's talk about the next goal.
Now get a whole bunch of people back, and they'll all have nothing to do for at least a few months before the premiere......
The landlord's family has no surplus food......
So in the end, the two capitalists, Li Mo and Zong Shuai, unanimously decided: before the premiere of "Love Apartment", the studio only recruited front desk and financial personnel, and it was enough to be able to maintain the most basic operations......
After solving the matter of the studio, Li Mo finally returned to his little nest, entered the house and threw the suitcase away, and spread the whole person on the sofa like a husky.
Although this trip has not been in the imperial capital for a long time, it is really a brain-consuming thing to deal with people from all walks of life every day, especially the negotiation with Wu Ruoxu, and to control the topic orientation, and to prevent others from seeing flaws.
When he had enough, he remembered something, he lent his house to Fat Di as a temporary homestay before he left the imperial capital, and I don't know if Di's father and mother haven't left yet, if they haven't left, how to explain that he has perfectly transformed from a pick-up driver to a homestay host is still a troublesome thing.
But it seems that Fat Di's parents have gone back, and the upstairs and downstairs rooms seem to have been cleaned up once, and it seems that the two are a pair of caring people.
Although he always looks full of confidence in front of Zong Shuai, in fact, from the first day of preparing for the filming of "Love Apartment", he has been under tremendous pressure - the uncertainty brought about by the crossing just now, the repayment pressure caused by the huge debt, and even the fear in his heart that the family of "predecessor Li Mo" came to the door......
Thankfully, these problems have now been resolved......
Or maybe it's not going to explode right away for the time being...... God knows what kind of confused account the relationship between "predecessor Li Mo" and his parents is.
After all, he is occupying the body of someone else's son......
Li Mo is not a deep city person in his bones after all. Now that the problem of the house has been solved, and it is in its own independent space, I simply gave myself a vacation, so that the small emotions that are usually hidden can come out to breathe.
In 2011, the overwhelming takeaway brother in his previous life was still nowhere to be seen, and Li Mo really didn't want to cook by himself, but fortunately there were many small restaurants from all over the world nearby, so he shook his hand and went out, and spent more than half an hour to find a restaurant that looked more authentic and packed a few signature dishes of Shudi, and returned home to eat beautifully.
The night was deep, and after filling his stomach, he turned on the TV casually, Li Mo sat on the sofa and unconsciously pressed the small button on the remote control, and the excitement filled with his heart slowly dissipated little by little, leaving only the unspeakable loneliness.
Yes, Li Mo once again felt the kind of loneliness he often felt in his previous life.
In his previous life, Li Mo came from a humble background, his parents were not there, and all he wanted was to get ahead, and the relationship between men and women was a luxury in another sense for him.
When he was the casting director, he had encountered many bewitching and thin people who were fat and thin, and in order to be able to get the role, these people could be called "anything".
For them, the "things" they pay are not even a cost.
But Li Mo never accepted it, not because he felt that these people were dirty or had any other emotions, but because he had an almost paranoid view of certain things, he could accept the exchange of interests, and he could accept bringing money into the group, but in his crew, he would not accept the situation of using this type of "thing" to exchange and get a role.
This is also the reason why Li Mo's crew in the previous life was called the most "clean" crew in the circle.
And what makes him often feel lonely is precisely that his "view" is not accepted by many people.
No one shares success and no one shares when lost, Li Mo walked out of his own world in such loneliness.
And in this world, not only do people walk with him, but there are even parents who have never met, Li Mo can't help but ask himself: "Is this compensation for me?"
