Chapter 35 Tax Refund and Others (1/6)

Buying the box office is a science, how can you not be discovered?

After all, the eyes of the entire industry are watching "Painted Skin", and they also hope that Yuehua can defeat "The King of Kung Fu" head-on...

In recent years, the Huang brothers have been very unpopular!

Relying on the trump card of Ma Xiaokang in his hand, he poached people everywhere...

Let's put it this way, except for Li Lianhua, all the artists of Dongyang Media are not cultivated by themselves.

Even if it is a lotus, it was brought up by Sister Hua!

This is very disgusting, for example, the Oriental Pearl of Yangcheng single-handedly created the 'Youth' series, and "Young Son of Heaven" also belongs to it, Brother Chao was an actor under the Oriental Pearl at the beginning, and then he was wanted to enter Dongyang Media;

Brother Xun and Chen Kun, not to mention, Li Xiaowan single-handedly pushed them out, but they were also abducted by Dongyang Media;

Including Yao Dazui, the sect leader...

If you have the ability, you can cultivate it yourself, what's the matter with picking peaches?

Public enemy in the industry!

The strong rise of Yuehua has given many people hope, so they are very concerned about "Painted Skin"...

How to buy the box office in this case?

Fortunately, Yuehua has eye-catching ticketing!

directly did tricks on the pre-sale and bought a first-day box office of 8 million...

Therefore, "Painted Skin" can only win 31 million on the first day, otherwise, with the appeal of a few actors, it is Friday, how can it set such a high box office?

Anyway, it was publicized externally, with 31 million on the first day, continuing the production of the 'Liao Zhai' series of boutiques.

Now the pressure is all on "The King of Kung Fu"...

……

"Vulgar" is not that kind of special effects production, and even so, the actors' salaries only account for 45% of the total expenditure...

The filming location was chosen in Quebec, for the simple reason that Quebec is probably the most favorable city in the world for tax refunds!

It has a policy that film projects developed by independent production companies, whether short or feature, can be financed by the company in full from the public sector, and note, it is full!

"Vulgar" has been in accordance with the most traditional way in Hollywood, the studio model, from the beginning of the project.

The studio system can be said to be the practice of Hollywood companies, whenever there is a relatively high investment in the project of the film, the production company will set up a corresponding studio, to coordinate the film's funds, preparation, personnel, shooting, advertising, sponsorship and surrounding work, some blockbuster studios can often exist for several years or even more than ten years.

Of course, the establishment of the studio of "Vulgar", in addition to following the convention, is more importantly, it wants to apply for Quebec's policy support...

Coincidentally, Mike McDavoy is Canadian, and he knows all the tax refund processes in Canada.

Before the film officially started, Mike introduced a professional tax refund agent, Brown.

"Well, the City of Quebec will only support a maximum of $5 million, plus a 20 percent tax refund, which should be a total of $11 million..."

Brown worked out the total.

Zhang Junsheng was a little confused, lying down, 40 million minus 11 million, 29 million...

It directly saves 25% of the production cost.

This is also an exaggeration!

No, why is Canada doing this?

Do good deeds without leaving a name?

The province of Quebec has a total of 8 million people and generates less than $200 million in box office in a year.

In other words, from a commercial point of view, the vast majority of these state-invested film shooting funds have been wasted, and there is no hope of recycling them through normal channels.

Since it cannot produce direct benefits, what is the purpose of the government's dedication to the film industry?

Mike asked, "... Can you get the money now?"

“… I can sell to Bombardier, however, they will only bid a maximum of $9 million!"

“… We only need 9 million, how much can we talk about is yours!"

"OK, I'll try!"

Brown left, Zhang Junsheng couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart, he really couldn't understand what benefits Canada had for him to support filmmaking so much?

"Quebec is French-speaking! Let's put it this way, they have always wanted to be independent, and their support for film production and commercial interests are completely unrelated, and they are completely motivated by the preservation of local culture!"

"As early as the early fifties of the last century, Quebecers realized that without the intervention and support of the state, relying only on pure commercial competition, then Quebec cinema was likely to be completely crushed in a short period of time, and with it, Quebec culture with a strong national color and special mode of thinking may disappear. It is precisely under the impetus of this sense of crisis that Quebec has become the most tenacious region of "national film protectionism" in the whole of North America. The government believes that only a nationalized industrial policy can preserve a spark for local film culture in the face of Hollywood's surging commercial invasion. ”

“… But our film has nothing to do with Quebec!"

"Who's to say no? The Vulgar studio was built in Quebec!"

“…”

Tsk, capitalist wool...

Well, it's not taking advantage of me anyway, love what's the matter...

……

Hangzhou*Zhou, hotel.

After a day of publicity, several people were all tired and lay down.

Brother Xun patted Zhou Xing's shoulder, and the latter quickly stood up.

"Follow me!"

Brother Xun made a look, Zhou Xing looked around, and it was quiet...

Zhou Xing is a little bitter, the legendary unspoken rules, is it finally my turn?

"Smoking?"

"Oh..."

After receiving the cigarette handed by Brother Xun, Zhou Xing touched it for a long time, but he didn't touch the fire.

He doesn't smoke fire, where does the smoke come from...

Brother Xun glanced at him a little helplessly, handed over the lighter, and then said, "Ask you something." ”

"You say..."

"Is there such a thing as your company going to set up your own studio?"

“… Some. ”

It turns out that I didn't want to uncover the rules, how could I be a little disappointed?

"Tell me about it!"

“… It is the company's capital injection, and then my previous brokerage team gave me together, and I found a few trustworthy people, anyway, it is similar to self-employment, and I will be free to take on the drama in the future, and I don't have to share the money I earn, and the company will receive a symbolic share dividend every year..."

“… So what if I can't get the play?"

"No, it won't!"

Zhou Xing replied very simply, Brother Xun gave him a strange look, and he quickly explained: "Mr. Zhang gives each of us a right, as long as we can see the project, he will support it!"

“… Really, what if you lose money?"

"If you lose, you will lose, and everyone will lose together!"

"Be clear!"

"It's self-financing, generally less than 10 million projects, we make our own decisions, 10 million up, we have to report to him, and then discuss together, anyway, no matter how much money, we privately contribute 20%!"

"If you lose, then you lose together, if you earn, you earn together!"

Brother Xun spit out a smoke ring: "You Mr. Zhang are so good to you?"
