Chapter 907: The Difference Between One's Own and Outsiders (Part II)

Hollywood's film companies are divided into three levels, the eight giants are the first, the new line, touchstone, Lionsgate, artisans and the like are the second level, and the third level is the small companies that are as many as cows.

The first-level large companies only shoot those commercial blockbusters, and the investment is often tens of millions of dollars. Since it is such a large investment, there are naturally all kinds of red tape that restricts and restricts everyone. And among the first-level giant companies, the light and shadow company is a wonder, it does not have those rigid red tape, but is a bit like those third-level film companies crammed into a building with dozens of companies.

is like "Titanic", if it is placed in other first-class film companies, such as Warner, Paramount, MGM, etc., James Cameron will survive, and he can only get more than $100 million at most. However, in the light and shadow company, even if his ex-wife found all kinds of excuses to force him to sign various agreements to reduce the sharing ratio, he finally got 3. $800 million in revenue, not including future follow-on shares.

"Got it?"

"NO", if it weren't for the fact that this was in the company, and there was a Yoshiyo Sato next to her, Anne would have to jump into her grandson Ming's arms again. In just a few days of getting along, she knew where her biggest temptation to a man was, and what her boss liked was her innocence, not how beautiful she was.

Boda is brainless, that refers to a mature woman like Nicole, this little girl is a typical beautiful and brainless.

Sun Ziming withdrew the disc he had just finished watching from the VCD, returned it to Yoshiyo Sato, and gave a few words of revision. Kayo Sato nodded and went out with the disc, and Sun Ziming explained in detail: "I'm Chinese, and I don't have real British citizenship, so I have to have my own vote in Hollywood." In this way, even if the opponent wants to set me up, they have to take care of the large number of highly influential public figures behind me. ”

Kadai Sato came out of the office and heard the sound of the door lock, so Anne leaned on Sun Ziming's back, rubbed his back with her breasts that had begun to take shape, and said coquettishly: "Doesn't we in the United States have a complete law?" Why are you still so timid? ”

There was no one, and Sun Ziming's hands were out of order, going up along the soft thighs, rubbing two balls of extremely elastic soft meat with his backhand, and said with a wry smile: "At that time, I just arrived in Hollywood, and I only knew Chris and Jiang Peng, and my mind was full of Hong Kong thinking, and I only thought about how to make myself bigger quickly, how dare I take that risk?" ”

Young bodies are always sensitive, Anne's little buttocks let Sun Ziming rub them a few times, her little face was as red as a red cloth, her two slender thighs opened and closed and writhed, and she said in a greasy voice: "What about now?" Why are you still like this? ”

This is the company, Sun Ziming didn't dare to play with fire anymore, so he quickly pulled out his hand, pressed the already emotional child on the chair next to him, pointed to the door with a sticky finger, and then went to wipe it clean with a tissue.

"No, once the rules are set, they can't be changed randomly, there are too many interests involved."

“Why?”

Sun Ziming remembered his mistake at the beginning, and he didn't regret it, but he also regretted it. But fortunately, although I didn't make all the money I should have earned, I made a lot of friends.

"The director is the biggest beneficiary of the rules we set at the beginning, followed by the behind-the-scenes staff. The actors seem to take a lot, but compared to us core characters, they are negligible. ”

Without Sun Ziming's handiwork, Anne's face gradually became normal, and she immediately thought of the billionaires and multimillionaires created by light and shadow after the company went public, and then she suddenly realized: "The checks you gave me are according to the treatment of your core personnel?" ”

Sun Ziming gave the child a thumbs up and handed her his teacup, "Drink some water, see your lips are starting to dry." ”

slept together, Anne Hathaway also lost her sense of rustiness, and she didn't hide that this was someone else's teacup, so she drank most of the tea with the teacup in Sun Ziming's hand, and said coquettishly: "You mean, those people in UTA didn't take this treatment?" ”

"You are the sixth, and in front of you are Fa Ge, Ah Long, Ah Zhi, Nicole, and Leo. Anne, I have a very clear distinction between friends, my own people are my own people, and my friends are friends. These things can't be said, understand? ”

My own person, this word made Anne's heart warm, and her little blonde head leaned on her grandson Ming's shoulder, and murmured: "Ming, I can treat you as a friend, brother, or even father in the future, but I can't treat you as a lover, right?" ”

"Yes", Sun Ziming stroked the child's blonde hair and said euphemistically: "Annie, this is for your own good." There is no real love in Hollywood, only passion, impulse, temptation, if you fall in love with me, it will be my luck, but it will definitely be your misfortune! ”

The truth is very ruthless, but it can make people more reassuring, Anne can't hear the love that makes her doubt from her grandson's words, but she can hear sincere concern. In this way, she is already very satisfied. Those young actors who want a chance scratch their heads and pose by the pool at the Beverly Hotel every day in the most revealing and sexy swimsuits, don't they just want to attract the attention of those big directors and big stars?

Anne leaned on Sun Ziming's shoulder for a while, although she was a little regretful, but she was also very satisfied with her choice. It's impossible to let yourself encounter all good things, isn't this life?

Letting go of those unrealistic fantasies, Anne regained her childishness and said curiously: "Ming, I don't understand, since we signed the agreement at the beginning, and the company later sent me a check according to the agreement, why did we suddenly come with two or three million more?" ”

'Hey, hey, hey', Sun Ziming turned his head and laughed, this should be an open secret in Hollywood, right?

An open secret? Annie? Hathaway really didn't know, shaking Sun Ziming's arm and coquettishly, "Tell me, I really don't know." ”

"Ok, ok, let me explain to you, do you know what an offshore company is?"

Anne then remembered that Douglas asked her to find a lawyer to register an offshore company for herself.

"Yes, that's reasonable tax avoidance!"

The laws of the United States are complete, and the rate of personal income tax is extremely high, and it is also divided into federal personal income tax and state personal income tax. Wealthy people like Hollywood stars, who earn more than one million a year, add up to more than 45 percent. Moreover, corporate taxes in the United States are also extremely high, with a single corporate income tax of 35%. If everyone pays taxes according to the law, doesn't the company become the federal government and the state government? So everyone is still playing?

Therefore, Hollywood's usual practice is to register a large number of offshore companies and use various accounting methods to increase the company's operating costs as much as possible and minimize profits to achieve the purpose of tax avoidance.

"Got it? In fact, every company has two books, one for the tax bureau and the other for shareholders. The money that was given to you before was given according to the first account, and the money that was given to you later was given according to the real account. ”

(This is true, "Jurassic Park 1" has a box office of more than 357 million in North America, while Universal's financial statements show that it only made a profit of more than 30 million)

Anne is not smart compared to people like Sun Ziming, compared to ordinary little girls, she is not stupid at all. With such an explanation, she immediately understood why the stars all get a salary + box office share, while big directors like Sun Ziming and them all get a basic salary + post-production share. is because the big directors are strong and have their own team, and they are not afraid of the film company doing tricks in finance, and behind the star is only a brokerage company, I am afraid that the brokerage company is also a link in this chain of interests.

Anne's guess, Sun Tzu smiled and said nothing, this world is the world of capital. Since it is the world of capital, it is naturally the world of capitalists, although stars can get high salaries, but if the capitalists make money, and there are not many stars, then who will open a film company?

Of course, the next thing doesn't need to be explained by Sun Ziming, Anne can figure it out by herself. The Hollywood of the previous impression collapsed, and a new, real Hollywood appeared in front of Anne.

Hollywood is a huge jungle where everyone is either a herbivore or a carnivore. It's just that a little white rabbit like himself can grow into an elephant and a buffalo like Leo, so that those carnivores don't dare to act rashly; Or just turn around and become carnivores like Tom Cruise and eat the white rabbits.

No wonder Nicole Kidman and Douglas, the two sluts, treat themselves as pawns and victims, and they feel no guilt. Even Leo heard that those two sluts were pushing himself, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with him getting involved with the boss. It turned out that because he was a guòboss, he would not only become a superstar, but also stand at the front of the Hollywood food chain.

White Rabbit? Big buffalo?

Sun Ziming looked at the delicate Anne and smiled, this is really a child, even making an analogy is so imaginative. She is indeed like a little white rabbit, but Leo, who is so handsome, makes her compare to a big buffalo, which is too much, right?

"Ok, do you want to be a cute big buffalo, or a beautiful lioness?"

Anne has no social experience, and she is also a child who grew up in Hollywood, so she knows that Sun Ziming's joke problem is actually related to her own future. The big buffalo is to become a superstar, and it is a superstar under the shadow of the light and shadow company, and it takes the real profit share of a movie. And the lioness, like Tom Cruise, transformed into a director at the right time, leaning on the big tree of light and shadow, and went to recruit and fight for herself.

After hesitating for a while, the child's cunning prevailed, and Anne threw herself into her grandson Ming's arms and said coquettishly: "Ming, I'll decide when I grow up!" ”

Sun Ziming hugged Anne's soft body, looked at the undulating jade hills inside her neckline, touched her a few times, and quickly put her back on the chair. This child is really a child, doesn't she know that this is a seductive crime?

"Okay, I have to work, you can go back first."

Annie, who was panting when she was touched, turned red, threw a wink at Sun Ziming like in the movie, kissed him on the cheek, and said greasyly: "Ok, I'll go home first." Remember to give me the Harry Potter premiere invitation, seat closer to you than Natalie, OK? ”

Sun Ziming made Anne's childishness make her cry and laugh, these children really like to compare, they sleep with themselves, and they still want to crush others.

"Okay, I'll let Douglas put you ahead of her!"

"That's pretty much it!"
