Forming a company?

Jenny was stunned for a moment, "Do you mean the kind of tax avoidance company that Kim helped me set up?" ”

In order to legally avoid taxes, it is very common to set up a company, for example, if Jenny's income is collected in the name of the company, and her expenses for renting a house are also used by the company's expenses, she may be able to make a loss-making account. However, in fact, the corporate tax in the United States is also very heavy, and there are many things in the legal fringe here, which will affect the public image if exposed, and celebrity income is the focus of the IRS's monitoring, so her income was obtained in her personal name before. Including the two subsequent contracts of the Caribbean, they are also determined in the name of the individual, which is also good for Jenny, at least this is a relatively simple relationship between income and expenditure, and she can read her own account. The two years of cooperation between her and Kim have not grown long enough for her to trust her to the point of completely ignoring her own finances. -- There are many celebrities in Hollywood who are too gullible because they make a lot of money and have no bad habits, but they still fall into financial crisis in the end because of investment failures, deliberate losses by accountants, and so on.

"Of course, this company will have a certain intention of tax avoidance, if you invest in the name of the company, a large part of the final income can be tax-free." "The most important thing is that you've invested a third of the cost of filming, you're a big investor, and you have the right to ask for your production company logo to be included in the title, and I'm guessing you're interested in the production industry, so let's assume your—"

His tone became a little strange, as if he was forcibly suppressing the urge to roll his eyes, "-- 'intuition' -- that's right, if you can achieve a certain box office result, then this will be a great opportunity for your production career." ”

This is indeed Jenny's negligence, she did think about the possibility of setting up a production company in the future, but people are busy and forget, and the project is still advancing, so it was not until Cesare reminded that she suddenly realized, indeed, this is a good idea, because it is an investment in the production of films, if it is in the name of the company, the tax allowance will be much higher, and it may be more cost-effective overall, since you have to invest in the name of the company, so why not take advantage of the trend to build your own production company? At least initially, she probably only needed a part-time accountant to take care of her finances - Kim was a ready-made candidate, of course. If she wants to grow bigger in the future, this part of the profit can be precipitated in the company as the company's initial capital.

"Good idea." She did not hesitate to praise herself: there was a difference of opinion at work, and even that Cesare and her were far more different than Judy's disagreement with her, and her performance was by no means benevolent, but Cesare and Judy reacted very differently. Cesare never mentioned their quarrel that day after approving of the prospect, and although he may have had hoped for failure to give her a taste of something terrible, he at least behaved impeccably, and still thought of her in every way, no different than before. "So what do I do? You know, I don't know anything about that. ”

"Get a lawyer first, and I'll give you a call." Cesare printed out a document and handed it to her, "Then prepare some registered capital, it doesn't take much, of course, there are some formalities that can let the money run for you, in fact, it's very simple......"

In California, there are many small film companies, and Jenny is by no means the first movie star to open her own company, the rules of the game are very simple, and it took Jenny a short time to figure out the process. "So when I get the 10 million I got from the bank loan, I can inject capital into the company, and then the company will pay Fox?"

"Yes, at the same time, you also need someone to verify with Fox whether the crew's expenses are true, whether your 10 million has been spent indiscriminately, and whether you can get some back in the end." Cesare has always been unusually patient when it comes to guiding the details, "After all, you signed a box office share contract, and the share is already decided, and how much you can get back 10 million is your victory." ”

"So after the release, you have to be careful that Fox hides the box office, right?" Jenny asked.

"This is unlikely because of the existence of a third-party statistical agency, and you have the right to request a recalculation if the details that Fox gives you do not match the report of ExhibitorRelations." Cesaret paused, "Normally, Fox doesn't do that, but to be on the safe side, you'll need a lawyer to review the distribution contracts between Fox and the theaters for you." An accountant, a lawyer, an administrative assistant, and registration fees are the labor costs you need at the moment, and of course you need to hire someone to design your logo and a catchy name. ”

"How's HomeSweetHome?" Jenny immediately had an idea and asked excitedly.

Cesare coughed and lowered his face to sort through the papers, "I repeat, what you need is a loud and catchy name. ”

"Okay." Jenny smuffled, "If you think I have bad taste, you can just say it." ”

Cesare jumped directly to the next topic, "There is also the premiere and the film critics' viewing party, the new line hopes to set the premiere and the film viewing together, the scale of the viewing will be as large as possible, they are very confident in this film, they hope to use the critics' reputation to bring the first week box office and attract genre audiences, so the closer the date is to the release, the better, they hope that the audience can find out that the film has been released within a few days of seeing the film review......"

Cesare, Jenny, and Judy on the other side of the computer have a video conference around the publicity strategy, and even Josh's PR is invited to participate. After a whole meeting was opened, half a day quietly flew away, Jenny stood up and stretched, "Shall we have lunch, Cesare, I have to rush to class in the afternoon." ”

"No, I still have a few calls to make." Cesare said, "I asked Kitty to deliver these scripts to your car." ”

They haven't talked about Jenny's speculation about Nissa's leaks, but the truth is that Nissa has now left Cesare to go to Jennifer. Bell was there to be her personal assistant. Not noticing the assistant's betrayal should have been a big mistake for the invincible Cesare, but Jenny wasn't going to hold on to it. She was going to have a chance to joke about it, even if it was over, but so far she had not had a chance to talk to Cesare, and of course business conversations were frequent and natural, but Jeanne gradually realized that Cesare had cut off personal contact with her.

It's not that they have an affair, or any kind of sexual affair. Attractive, but Jeanne did have some more personal conversations with him, and for a few moments she felt like she was in contact with an open, honest Cesare, perhaps just a relaxed smile, perhaps a long dot and monologue, a slice of who he really was. After that quarrel, Cesare never smiled knowingly, or joked about her 'poverty' and 'dullness', even though business was going on as usual. He locked her out, which made Jenny realize that perhaps Cesare's private feelings had been hurt during that day's argument.

This made her a little confused, uneasy, and at the same time quite tricky, and she didn't even know how to understand the problem, let alone find a solution. - She didn't know if she should be actively addressing it.

However, it cannot be denied that Jenny did feel a little lost when her attempt to invite Cesare to share lunch again failed, and although Cesare's shortcomings were enough for her to complain to Lillian for half an afternoon, the opposite of control was also a sense of security, and now that he no longer tried to control all of her career, Jenny was free, but also lost her □□, and she was inevitably a little overwhelmed in this realm that was completely foreign to her previous life.

"CJ Movies." Jenny sat cross-legged on the plush bed in the master bedroom, pondering the name of the production company. C is Chen, J is Jenny, and it just so happens that her English name in her previous life was also Jennifer.

Clicked on the keyboard and found a duplicate name, Jenny shook her head and gave up the name that she was not very satisfied with, "Haoyang movie? No, Hoyang feels quite Asian and not catchy...... And what about the o movie? ”

Of course, someone has already registered such a big name, Jenny checked it, and reluctantly gave up the name - Haoyang is her son's name, she hasn't seen this little ghost for three years, and the images in her memory will inevitably fade over time, only the words will always be so clear. Jenny knows that she'd better not use this kind of special word as a company name, if every mention of this word is equivalent to a reminder, and you are destined to not go back in a short time, then what is the point of doing it except to increase psychological pressure?

Just like now, the word Haoyang inevitably opened up a period of ups and downs, full of frustrations, laughter and tears, Jenny slowly entered the world of thinking, the expression on her face changed violently, sometimes showing a sweet smile, sometimes sadly drooping the corners of her lips,......

"A big dream in life...... Finally, she leaned back, fell heavily on the thick mattress, and groaned a Chinese that she hadn't said for a long time. The world has been cool a few times. ”

This classical poem inspired her, and Jenny bounced off the mattress again, crackling on the keyboard, "bigdream...... Well, that's good, that's it. ”

Chen Zhen never let herself indulge in emotions for too long, and always faced reality positively, which may be her greatest strength. After deciding on the name of the company, making the necessary communication with the people concerned, and setting a date with Cesare for the signing of the capital injection contract and the performance contract, Jeanne did not waste any time, jumped up and did her homework for the day. For her, exercise is a habit that can never be abandoned, just like dieting and sun protection, it is a pressure that must be carried every day.

After 10 kilometers on the treadmill in one go, and relaxing in a long jacuzzi, which was also her only luxury every day, she went back to bed, and while applying her skin care products, she opened the adapted script: although there was still some homework waiting for Jenny, Jenny still knew the priorities, and the homework could be given to Mary to do, but the idea of adapting the script could only be sorted out by herself.

As the main client of the fashion industry, she must have seen it, not only has it seen, but she is also very impressed, Jenny likes Anne very much. Hathaway's appearance in the film, so I rewatched it repeatedly and bought a lot of the same style. But if she wants to say how much she appreciates the plot, it may not be, she feels that she is the same as most female audiences, as long as the atmosphere is tall enough, the costumes are beautiful enough, and the story can barely be rounded. She even had to say that she was still very sorry for Andy's decision to resign at that time, not that she didn't understand Annie's heart, but for Chen Zhen, the most important purpose of her watching the film was to see beautiful girls wearing beautiful clothes, doing very high-level things in various beautiful scenes, Andy finally saw through fashion or Miranda, and then left the entire fashion industry It is a pity, since then she has never been able to wear so many beautiful and expensive clothes for free, isn't it?

It can be said that the reason why it can sell well all over the world is that it captures the two major characteristics of human nature: voyeurism and love for unearned gains. Through this, female viewers can get a glimpse of the high-end fashion industry behind the scenes and get a glimpse of Anna. A slice of Wintour's private life (no one would think Miranda is a purely fictional character, anyway), seeing the gains and losses of this strong woman, and seeing how Andy got so many luxuries for 'free' (that word is especially important) after making a painful decision, the makeover became extremely eye-catching. To put it bluntly, the audience likes these three elements, first: Oh, it turns out that the magazines I read every month are really working like this, and I have seen a lot; Second: Don't look at you Miranda as a winner in life, in fact, my private life is also very bleak, although I can't compare my career with you, but my life is happier than yours, well, the satisfaction is coming; Third: Well, look, Anne Sparrow has become a phoenix, a big transformation, and the big beauty is raunchy and ordinary, doesn't this show that I have a lot of potential in dressing up? Suddenly I had hope for my beauty again, and I felt that it was not time to give up.

Curiosity, satisfaction, and hope, these are all very positive emotional expressions, this is not a film to watch the plot, just like all action movies will ignore the laws of physics, 007 must also have a section with the Bond girl, selling a strong figure and 'drunk and lying on the knees of a beauty, waking up to control the world' handsome lifestyle, as long as it can poke the audience's cool point, no matter what aspect of them is satisfied, it is a very normal business behavior. Jenny didn't have much to ask for, not expecting it to be a literary and commercial classic, but she did want to make it a little more ingenious. At least there are some improvements in the watchability of the plot, digging out some space for her to play, if she does well, she can at least please some film critics while going crazy, and continue to prove her acting skills.

Due to the original film's director, David. Frank is one of the main creators, Jenny once doubted his ability to handle the plot, but later after reading the original book and meeting with Lauren, Jenny knew that he was actually a master in the industry, he and another script writer Elle, and producer Wendy, together with a long and trivial, resentful and slightly inferior story to be restructured into an orderly manner, from the perspective of the finished film, whether it is shooting framing, narrative means or details explained, the rhythm of the shot, is remarkable, David's ability is indeed undoubted. The reason why the plot is not attractive is entirely because it is congenitally insufficient, and there has been a huge contradiction since the creation of this book - the book's attitude towards the core issue of 'work and private life' cannot be recognized by normal people.

When Chen Zhen was still an audience, every time she rewatched this film, she would jump over Andy's ordinary life, she felt that all the actors in this part of the plot were very general, and she didn't understand the core contradiction, in short, she couldn't enter the play, but she didn't think too much about it at the time, and it wasn't until now that she analyzed it with a professional eye, and she understood where her sense of disobedience came from at that time: Andy and her friends in this story are actually not against fashion, but against professionalism and selfless work attitude, This whole story is a serious obfuscation of the distinction between fashion, dreams, and professionalism, and can even be said to have a rare degree of anti-intellectualism.

Andy finally left Miranda, and the final trigger was because in order to keep her position as editor-in-chief, Miranda broke the promise and gave up the position originally reserved for Nigel to her competitors, and by the way, took the opportunity to test Andy's loyalty, and Andy thought that she did not agree with Miranda's approach, so she left this lifestyle. When Chen Zhen was just a wealthy young woman, she felt that her logic was very ridiculous - if she couldn't even accept this level of struggle, Andy wouldn't want to achieve anything in her career in this life. Not to mention, it is between the two sales representatives of the real estate company, in order to grab customers, they can still sing the whole drama, Miranda's situation at that time is that it is difficult to protect herself if she does not act, and even Nigel's position cannot be kept, without her support, Nigel can't sit in that position, so in this case, keeping yourself is of course the best solution, just like she said, 'If you were me, you would make the same choice'.

Of course, it may be cruel to say that you can't sit in a high position without fighting, but this is the reality, and if Andy doesn't want to face this reality, it means that she is not mature enough to be a qualified social person, not as she is filmed in the film, she is mature enough to know what she wants. She can leave because she doesn't like fashion, but if she leaves because she doesn't like the lifestyle, then she's actually the loser.

Including Andy's 'normal' life when he finally returned, her friends laughed at the girls who were on a diet, disgusted with the needless luxury and fashion, and were dissatisfied with Andy's 'Miranda wants to be like this, Miranda wants to be like that', pointing out that Miranda is a demonic boss, but in fact, in any industry, anyone who wants to make a difference, which one is not 24/7? Not to mention Jenny, there are hundreds of assistants in CAA's mailroom, almost all of whom graduated from prestigious schools, wearing brand-name suits they bought, doing the most tiring work with the lowest salary, working more than ten hours a day, serving big agents with a bigger temper than Miranda, are they all masochists? In fact, every adult and mature social person knows that every penny in this society is not earned in vain, you want money, if you want to succeed, you have to use hard work and sweat in exchange, Miranda's approach may not be in line, maybe social morality will criticize her for seriously violating the private time of employees, but in fact it is Wall Street, Hollywood, the White House, Silicon Valley, these areas where the highest income groups in the country are gathered, everyone is volunteering to work for their chosen career path, 'Today is my boyfriend's birthday party, Do I need time with him? 'Very well, then you will not be a key target from today onwards.

Of course, there are still many people in this world who live an ordinary life, exchange appropriate labor hours for not much pay, and have enough time to spend with their families, but this does not mean that these people are qualified to deny and judge the lifestyle of the elites, in fact, the whole thing that makes Jenny feel uncomfortable is here, when Andy is adapting to the workplace and moving towards success, the filming atmosphere makes people feel that she is falling, and finally when Andy gives up his fashion job, the tone of the film seems to be that she has been redeemed. The film gives the illusion that Andy can easily and happily move towards success in his career and love through 8 hours of standard work a day.

…… Isn't this an irony of reality? At that time, Chen Zhen, a young grandmother of a wealthy Chinese family, felt that there were too many slots in this arrangement, but now Jenny has understood the director's intentions, after all, the elite group is only a minority, and for most of the middle class, Andy chooses their lives, and this treatment helps to please the mainstream audience. See, Andy has finally returned to your lives, and she made the right choice.

This is also based on market considerations, but Chen Zhen thinks that this sycophant is a bit unreasonable, and there are many ways to please this group, instead of ignoring normal logic like this. Most adults still know the cruelty of competition, of course, in this movie, they may not be more serious about the plot, since they can't understand the logic of the plot, then don't understand, just appreciate other points, only in the end Andy resigned to feel uncomfortable and regretful, not happy for her. But this is a dereliction of duty for the main creators, your story logically can't be consistent with reality, and most people can't be moved, and the sycophants are slapped on the horse's legs.

After reading the original book, she understood the difficulty of the adaptor - although Lauren left from the job, she did not leave as a victor when she left, and she may hate Anna. Wintour, but to Wintour she had always been a nobody, and the feeling of neglect was perhaps more embarrassing to Lauren than Wintour's hatred. So in Lauren's novel, her complete denial of that assistant life is completely visible, and the crew has softened her attitude a lot, if it is filmed according to the original book, Miranda and Emily will become neurotic losers, and Andy is the normal person who was lucky enough to leap out of the madhouse before being completely infected. If you want to affirm the working atmosphere in terms of values, it is likely that Lauren, who is also one of the screenwriters, will not accept this change at all.

It is also for this reason that Jenny wants to exclude Lauren from the adaptation, because she not only wants to change this, but also wants to add some dark side to Andy, those elements that she observed from Lauren, vanity, stubbornness, eagerness to be affirmed, and some lack of confidence...... In the original version, Andy is a very flat character, she is the object of the audience's substitution, it is Mary Sue, her personality traits are very few, of course, there is no room for actors to play, according to Jenny's vision, the new version of Andy is darker, she joined because she got an interview at the last minute, and she needs this position to allow her to get an outstanding resume and do her dream job. Her frustration is not because she doesn't understand fashion, but because she is too inferior, because she is too inferior, but pretends not to care about fashion and thus protects herself. Including her final departure is not disgusted with Miranda's lifestyle, on the contrary, she is grateful to Sidea for teaching her these so that she can use these workplace skills in the field of journalism that she is really interested in, and she left because she thinks she has enough qualifications to pursue the journalism position she wants, and Miranda should write her a good letter of recommendation, which is what she deserves.

This Andy is closer to her archetype Lauren, rather than the flat one that Lauren imagined, a tool for venting, and more 'acting', but it will never be accepted by Lauren, in fact, Jenny herself is hesitant to put this idea into practice, she has put a lot of money into practice, and the most rational thing to do is to let everything remain as it is, let Lauren join, and finally create the script that is closest to the original version (from the point of view, if she doesn't intervene, the script should not be too far from the original version), and then released and sold well, Making money, it's as simple as that.

Of course, this also means that she has to give up the idea of making some breakthroughs in this role, in this movie, she is destined to be a vase, although she is the first female lead, but the limelight is destined to be shared with Meryl and Emily, and maybe even lose a little in the acting evaluation because of the limitations of the role.

Want to suggest a change? Do you want it? Don't want to?

Although she had sorted out her own ideas for changes, Jenny didn't make up her mind until the moment she walked into the conference room - this was her last chance, if she hadn't specifically stopped it today, Lauren would have been involved, and at that time, Jenny was sure that her idea of changes would definitely not pass Lauren, the original author, and she wasn't sure what Lauren would do for the purity of her fantasies. Who knows if there are any traps in her adaptation contract, and what clause can she use to 'guarantee not to distort the author's original intention' to disrupt the project? At that time, what will be lost is the real money that Jenny has also invested.

To say, or not to say?

Shaking hands with the capable Wendy, the gentle David, and the somewhat shy Elle one by one, everyone sat down, Jenny took a deep breath, looked at the binder in her hand, and finally put it at hand, and picked up the outline of the original version of the script stacked at the bottom of the binder.

The first investment, or the 10 million pledged from the performance contract, or don't take the risk, right?

"It's a pleasure to work with all of you."

What Jenny didn't expect was that Wendy might have misunderstood what she meant, she took a few glasses of water from the water dispenser, put them in front of a few people attentively, and then chose a seat next to Jenny to sit down, and as she spoke, she picked up the binder and flipped through it and said, "Ellie, this is Jennifer, Jennifer, this is Ellie - today's creative meeting is to confirm the idea of adapting the script after the project is restarted......"

Her voice gradually weakened, and Wendy was clearly focused on the adaptation that Jenny had brought, and after a while, she felt her gaffe and jerked her head up and continued, "...... As one of the main funders, Jennifer has some opinions about the original idea......"

It was only absent-mindedly that she said a word, and Wendy was silent again, and it could be seen that she was completely attracted by this adaptation idea......

The author has something to say: Note: 1 Let's talk about why Jenny can't make money by doing futures and stock trading, I have always seen some friends confused in the comments, and I will explain it when I think about it today. ――This is impossible, because interlacing is like a mountain, it's as simple as that, don't say that she just married a family of real estate tycoons, even if Wang Shi travels back to 03 years today, it is impossible for him to speculate in stocks and futures, and he will lose money in the short term, and he might as well continue to do the real estate he is good at in the long term. In the same way, Jenny may indeed know that Apple will rise, but predicting that Apple will rise and you can make a profit in short-term trading are two different things.

2Yesterday it seems that some descriptions of MJ made everyone misunderstand.,I've changed the chapter.,I'm sorry for that.。 MJ had serious debt problems due to business disputes and philanthropy, but it was not bankrupt, not insolvent, but cash turnover. He doesn't have any bad habits.

Updated, sorry for being late. Because the debuff is slowly dispelled over time, it is clearer in the evening.
