Chapter 91: The Premiere

As early as the beginning of September, more than 700 special effects shots with low technical difficulty were completed one after another. For the remaining more than 500 difficult shots, Lu Lin picked a small number of shots and subcontracted them to the two special effects companies under his name, which have now been completed.

In terms of finance, the special effects company in the United States is the real account, the contract is signed between Longlin Pictures and the special effects company, and the number of 43 special effects shots and the production cost are real.

The rest of the shots were signed by Longlin Pictures and a Cayman investment company under Lu Lin's name, and then a small number of special effects shots were outsourced to the Indian company, and the accounting between them is naturally true.

The only sham is the contract signed between Longlin Pictures and Cayman Investment Company. Among them, it was agreed that the company would be responsible for the production of 486 special effects shots of "Ten Cold", but the number of shots outsourced by the investment company to Indian special effects companies was only 36.

The remaining 450 difficult special effects shots were naturally completed by Lu Lin's "super microcomputer".

The Cayman investment company wants to collect money for 486 special effects shots, and Lu Lin needs to fake this bill. But the difficulty and risk are not so great.

First of all, Cayman investment companies do not charge business tax and VAT, which means that there is no tax risk.

Secondly, it is also very important that there is no official invoice abroad!

If you want to be reimbursed for buying things in China, you have to use a machine to type invoices, and the receipts with financial seals are not very recognized. However, this is not the case in foreign countries, where there has never been such a formal invoice as ours in various economic activities.

In foreign countries, especially in Anglo-American countries, the determination of tax liability mainly depends on the return form filled out by the taxpayer. The tax bureau generally does not verify the content of the return, and the control of tax risk is mainly through spot checks, audits and other means.

For example, the U.S. Treasury Department's tax office randomly checks a certain number of tax forms every year, and once illegal tax evasion is discovered, in addition to paying a huge fine several times the amount, you may also be sentenced to prison.

Considering the serious consequences, few people in Europe and the United States dare to fake or issue false "invoices". Therefore, foreigners do not need to have strict requirements for the format and content of "invoices".

Another key point is that in Western countries, "personal credit" is quite important, and once there is a "credit stain", it can be said that it is difficult to move an inch.

Therefore, compared with China's invoices, Western bills are simply arbitrary, and most of them not only do not have the seal of the tax department, but some can even be handwritten.

To be honest, with the strong strength of the "super microcomputer", it is not difficult to forge banknotes from various countries, and it is even easier to get a few simple and casual "foreign receipts".

And when all the special effects shots were gathered in Lu Lin's hands and made into a complete version of the movie, they were taken to optoelectronics for the second round of "technical review".

In addition, it should be mentioned that the review of optoelectronics is only responsible for content control, and people don't have the time to cut your film. It's just that I don't give an opinion that I can't review, and how to cut it is the producer's business.

When it comes to film censorship, politics, eroticism, religion, and ethnicity are all big issues. And the "Alliance of the Heavenly Gods", adapted from "Ten Cold", does not involve these at all, so the "technical review" also passed smoothly.

Although, the setting that Thor is a Shiba Inu may cause dissatisfaction among some foreign audiences. But the film "Alliance of the Gods" was initially planned to be distributed in China and Southeast Asia, and it did not count on the European and American markets at all.

In the blink of an eye, it was September 25th, which is the time for the premiere celebration of "The Alliance of Celestial Gods", and this time the Beijing National Stadium was chosen, which was jointly organized by Bona, China Film, and Longlin.

As one of the most watched blockbusters in China, and the organizers are giants such as China Film and Bona, the Beijing National Stadium on Sunday night can be described as star-studded and full of friends.

At the entrance of the venue, there is a red carpet with a huge movie poster on one side. The celebrities and guests who came to cheer were all signed on the posters when they passed by, and then stood for a moment for the reporter to take pictures.

The bigwigs who attended were Han Sanye of China Film, Yu Dong of Bona, Song Ge of Long Lin, Wang Changtian of the glamorous Wang, Li Ming of Xiaoma Pentium, Xiao Wang of Huayi, and Jia Yanhai of Wanda. The purpose of the latter few coming over is probably to see the quality of "The Alliance of Gods".

In terms of stars, the main creative team includes Deng Chao, Di Lieba, Zhao Liying, Tong Liya, Tang Yixin and several other supporting actors. Of course, Zeus and Odin invited foreigners to play and did not attend this premiere.

The guests who attended the venue included Wu Jing, Mr. Guo, Brother Qian, Wang Baoqiao, Qiao Dashan, Han Dongjun, Jin Shijie, Jing Xiang, Sun Li, Gu Li Nazha, Tang Yan, Yu Feihong, Wang Likun, Xu Dongdong, etc., mainly people who have been in contact with or related to Lu Lin.

There are also some celebrities who are Chong Han Sanye and Yu Zong's face, such as Jiang Wen, Feng Xiaogang, Guan Yu, Zhang Guili, etc.

There are also important members such as the director and team leader of the crew of "The Alliance of Gods", as well as some employees and leaders of China Film, Bona, and Longlin Company.

What's even more lively is that the premiere scene is going to show the movie, and there are a total of 6,116 audience tickets, all of which were sold out early.

Many celebrities and ordinary viewers entered the hall from different entrances and sat down in their own places. And Lu Lin, who is the director of this film and also the producer, naturally sat in the first row, next to Yu Dong and Song Ge.

With the host of the movie channel on the stage, introducing the filming of "The Alliance of the Gods" is not easy, the premiere celebration officially begins.

The opening is naturally a little performative, the first program is the symphony "He's a Pirate", that is, "Pirates of the Caribbean" Captain Jack's own BGM, Chinese translated as "He is a pirate".

In "Alliance of the Celestial Gods", Donkey Kong's identity is not the animated version of the "Star Thief", but an "Star Pirate".

The episode "He's a Pirate" was used when he pretended to be forced, but unfortunately, except for the handsome in the opening star map battle, Xiao King Kong was mostly handsome for no more than three seconds the rest of the time. Therefore, the frequency of interludes is not much, and it is not inconsistent with the style of the film!

After the performance of the majestic "He's a Pirate", the host invited Lu Lin to the stage to talk about his creative feelings.

To be honest, with such a big scene and so many guests and audiences coming to cheer, it doesn't make much sense to blow a few more words or less at this moment. Lu Lin made a long story short, talked a few words, and then invited the main creative actors and the main staff behind the scenes to the stage. Among them, only Brother Chao spoke a few words with the microphone.

Then he invited Yu Dong to the stage, said a simple word of thanks, and then came to the feature film playback.
