Chapter 449 Box office cattleness and powerful tax avoidance

ps: I'm sorry that there was a sudden power outage for a few hours, so everyone waited for a long time!!

Films that have cooperated with the five major Hollywood studios, including "Independence Day" with Universal, "Tornado" with Paramount, "The Great New York Robbery" with Columbia Pictures, "The Highest Crisis" with MGM, and finally William Campbell made a ruthless attempt to preempt the distribution rights of the "Magic Apprentice" and "Spy of the Spy" series today, and "The Extraordinary Suspects" with 21st Century Fox.

It's not that "The Extraordinary Suspects" is a bad film, but it only earned $150 million at the box office, which is the bottom of all the films that everyone has worked with, especially when you see that Universal's "Independence Day" has a box office of $839 million, and it is difficult for you to calm William Campbell.

The total box office of these five films is 2120 million US dollars, and the Jinchen Group is the producer, and the investment ratio of the films is 75 percent, but if calculated according to the proportion of the box office, it is only 37.5 percent.

However, this is not pure profit, but also to remove the investment in the film, tax rate and other expenses, and in the end, it is definitely not more than 25%, which is already a super good deal, and the low may even be less than 10%.

This is not alarmist, there is a reason for this, the higher the box office, the lower the proportion of investment, etc., then, the higher the profit, and the lower the vice versa, which is why high-box office films are the object of everyone's coveting, because that is called making money.

Because of this, there is a phenomenon of famous directors and big names asking for high remuneration, because they are the guarantee of high box office, if you want to make money, then you have to be willing to bleed, of course, there is also Waterloo, and this can better understand why Chen Jin is so good, because he has so many scripts in a year and has not had Waterloo.

The last remaining part is completely invested by yourself, however, the distribution fee is as high as 50%, and the production cost is also removed, etc., and the amount will not exceed 35%, but four of these six films are considered super high box office, so on average, there will be about 33% of the profit, and this is already a big surprise.

Taken together, these three parts are about 1.15 billion US dollars, and looking at the scenery from the outside, the box office of almost 5 billion US dollars can be less than a quarter in their own hands.

This is already the dollar that a super-grossing movie can make, but in the end, it is only a little, but this is the principle of dividing interests in the chain of interests, and no one can get it all.

Of course, this is only talking about the profit distribution after the release, after the release, the profit from the sale of DVD, TV broadcast and other copyrights is about a quarter of the box office, and blockbuster films such as "Independence Day" are more likely to exceed one-third of the benefits, which is also the biggest source of profit for the producer.

With such a rich benefit, it is naturally impossible for Jinchen Group to let it go, whether it is a film that completely shares the box office with others, or a film that cooperates with the five major producers to invest, all the copyrights are in the hands of Jinchen Group, which is also the rule of this industry, first grasp the side of the script, no matter how many people are invited to invest, what is the proportion of their own investment, they must firmly grasp the copyright in their hands, this point is impossible to give into, unless, the script itself is shared by the two parties.

It's just fifteen movies, in fact, Chen Zichen is more like showing off Chen Jin's credits, which makes her happier than her own achievements, and the woman who loves you will give everything for you.

A lot of things have been counted, it's just a final summary, Chen Zichen spent less than ten minutes to settle it, sat in Chen Jin's arms with excitement, pinched his face, and had the naughtiness of his daughter's family, "Guess what, how much money did we make on movies last year?" ”…,

"Little money fan!" Chen Jin deliberately teased her, "If you really want money, my husband will make you a lot of money, so that you can buy the whole Hong Kong Island,"

Chen Zichen pursed his lips, "Bragging!" But he immediately came to his senses and slapped him, "Don't get out of the way, I'm talking to you about serious things now!" Gritting his teeth and wrinkling his nose, "If I don't guess correctly, I won't be allowed to eat tonight." ”

Not allowed to eat is the latest punishment method invented by the young grandmother, but it is really easy to use, the playboy is a big rice bucket, and he is flustered when he is hungry for a while, although he has not really been hungry once, but it is Chen Zichen who feels sorry for him.

"About 150 million!" Chen Jin also wanted to make her happy, so he said a number according to the previous estimate, Chen Zichen nodded excitedly, but shook his head again, "Although it's almost, it's still a lot less," as if he was afraid that people would hear it, he quietly leaned into his ear, and said softly with a sigh of relief: "It's almost 1.5 billion US dollars, a total of 1492 million US dollars." ”

This time, Chen Jin was also startled, sat down with her body in his arms, and frowned, "Where did you get so much, there shouldn't be so many!" Chen Zichen shook his body proudly and said prettyly, "I won't tell you, who told you to always bully me!" ”

Chen Jin was really puzzled, hehe smiled and put his hand into her skirt, with an evil face, "Baby, how did I bully you, isn't that the case, or I'll bully you now." ”

"I hate it, can't you make people feel proud?" Chen Zichen clamped his leg tightly and bit him on the neck, "Forget it about biting you to death, see how you bully me." He pulled his hand out and sat down, "Do you know why I just said that you guessed about the same, that is, according to the box office results we announced to the public, our profit is 1.18 billion US dollars, and the difference between you and you are only 30 million, which is indeed about the same." ”

Fingers rubbed his jade-like face, there was not even the slightest flaw on it, it was too perfect, it was jealous, and he continued slowly, "You also know that the box office is greasy." ”

Seeing Chen Jin nodding, Chen Zichen gritted his teeth, as if he was very unhappy, "I only know now that it turned out to be a miserable pit for others, fortunately, we have Zhang Xiao to help," staring at Chen Jin's eyes, "Do you know where our extra 300 million US dollars came from?" ”

Chen Jin probably guessed it, but he still shook his head, Chen Zichen continued: "This box office is too cruel, especially for these big producers, who quietly unite with the theater chain and falsely report the amount together to avoid taxes, take our "Independence Day" as an example, in fact, the box office has already exceeded 900 million, of course, people's "Jurassic Park" is said to be as high as 1.1 billion US dollars. ”

Chen Zichen probably became more annoyed the more he thought about it, and snorted coquettishly, "I already knew that there were some of these things, but I didn't expect it to be so powerful, the four films we released in 92 and 93 cost more than 100 million dollars to the old Edward thief in the world, and he still has the face to benefit us." ”

"It's really fortunate that Zhang Xiao was helping us take care of the company as soon as it opened last year, he knows everything, and he got the most detailed cinema box office, if it weren't for him, this would be a global distribution, and the twists and turns are greasy, you really can't think of it, it's really infuriating."

Chen Jin patted her cheek and said with a smile: "Don't worry, let them take advantage of it for the time being, and let them spit it out together when the time comes," Chen Zichen pouted, "If you don't know, forget it, you know that you are naturally angry!" ”

Chen Jin nodded, "This is the reason why people occupy the dominant position and occupy the position of the landlord, we have to work hard to become a landlord now," diverted her mind, it is good to know some things, and you can deal with them if you know, but you don't have to take it to heart, "Listen to what you mean, in addition to this, we have extra ways to make money." "Of course!" Chen Zichen finally became proud again, "Tell you, in the United States, if rich people don't evade taxes, they are really stupid, people won't think you're a good person, they will only think you're a fool." ”

"Do you know why lawyers, doctors and accountants in the United States are the most respected professions and the best-paying professions, because they all serve the rich, lawyers help the rich to legalize everything, doctors protect the lives of the rich, and accountants let the rich pay less taxes when they make more money, that is, save money."

Chen Jin chuckled lightly and pinched her slender waist, causing her to giggle, "You are not afraid of being caught by others, you are such a big beauty, if you are caught by others, it will be a shame." ”

Chen Zichen slapped him, "I hate it, it's itching to death!" He pursed his lips again and snorted, "Stupid, do you know how powerful an organization the National Federation of Accountants is, and do you know that even the current and former Mr. President are their clients, that is, they are all shameful so-called "reasonable tax avoiders". ”

"And, did you know that big families like Rockefeller, Morgan and Roosevelt all had their own specialized accounting firms and controlled many of the legal transactions of the so-called "tax havens" in the United States? ”

Although it is the first time to hear it, it is normal to think about it, to say that this human nature is always driven by interests, Chen Jin shook his head helplessly, "How do you know this, it seems that you know a lot, I haven't heard you say it before." ”

"You haven't heard of it before, but you always know that the company will do bad things quietly!" Chen Zichen pinched his face with hatred, "You are just lazy, you don't care about these things!" ”

Giggling and looking at Chen Jin with a bitter face, he snorted coquettishly: "You know that I have a good relationship with Vera Roosevelt now, I just heard it from her, and the women who attended her family party, chattering endlessly, but there are many secrets that the outside world does not know can be heard." ”

Pouting again, "We are now a big client of the Roosevelt family's accounting firm, and last year we gave them tens of millions of dollars, and we also donated millions to Vera Roosevelt as political election funds. ”

Chen Jin smiled, "Then let people pit it, and let them pit it!" Chen Zichen glared at him, comprehended, and also giggled, "If one of them pits us, we will pit ten of them, and see who is pit whom!" ”
