Chapter 216 Company Development

Xiaobai's speech was only half an hour, but the impact on the audience was great!

He has released more than a dozen films!

Costume series "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance", "Wu Zhuangyuan Su Qi'er", "Judge of the Dead"

Mythological series "Jigong", "Mermaid", "God of Food"...

"The Legend of the Deer and Ding" two-part series,

"Journey to the West" two-part series, "Journey to the West", "Journey to the West"...

Kung Fu series: "Shaolin Football", "Kung Fu"

And, of course, The King of Comedy...

This is a five-year plan, and it is almost necessary to announce all the film careers!

"Some of these scripts are just a rough idea, and some have already taken shape, I will shoot the story that has been formed first, and meet with you first, okay, what do you want to ask?"

As soon as the words fell, a reporter immediately raised his hand: "Director Bai Xiaofei, hello, I want to ask you to announce so many film plans at one time, are they all directed by you?" ”

"Of course, self-directed and self-acting, self-produced and self-sold, not licking capital!"

Xiaobai replied very smoothly.

It means that all the films he mentioned will not accept the coercion of capital.

There are no more than five such blows in the circle!

“… Are you going to go public? ”

"Not listed, the reason why I left Yongsheng in the first place is that I don't want to be listed, there are too many things to consider for listed companies, although I shoot commercial films, but I want to be a relatively pure filmmaker, that is, the kind of director who can be the main conductor of the crew and choose actors!"

Hearing this, Zhong Lifang's face changed a little...

"And how long are you going to make all of these films?"

“… It depends on the situation, anyway, I will shoot every year, I will be twenty-six years old soon, anyway, before the age of thirty-five, I will definitely finish these movies, otherwise when the age comes, some roles will not be able to be played! ”

The next questions are for the film list, some ask how to interpret "Journey to the West", and some are asking what does "The King of Comedy" mean, is it to shoot Chaplin? Others asked Bai Xiaofei if he would cast publicly...

Xiaobai explained one by one.

"..."Journey to the West" is the theme, I have always wanted to shoot, but I have never had a particularly complete idea, there is only a general idea, I should shoot one or two to test the water, if the market feedback is good, then continue to develop, as for "The King of Comedy", in fact, it is an expectation of myself, it is a semi-autobiographical story, at present, the script is half written, and when I finish the script, it should be started..."

"The Legend of the Deer and Ding" is actually the most marketable story of Jin Yong's martial arts, which is very suitable for making a movie, at present, we have negotiated with Mr. Jin Yong, and "The Story of the Deer and Ding" should be launched after "The Judge of the Dead"!"

"As for the characters, I should use some new people to play the starring roles..."

probably answered the questions from the media, and the next time was returned to Zhong Lifang, who released the 'Xiao' plan and the 'Xin' plan, all around Sun Xiaoxiao and Li Kaixin, as for Tang Xiaoyu, she is already a Mesozoic with acting skills and traffic...

……

In fact, "The Judge of the Dead" and "Jigong" are not strictly speaking, they are not the works of Xingye, especially the former, the script idea of "The Judge of the Dead" is Fa Ge and Zhou Yanfa.

At that time, after Zhou Yunfa had this plan, he went to Director Du Qifeng, Director Du felt that this proposal was very good and could be implemented, so he agreed, and found Shao Liqiong to write the script!

Because the project was proposed by Fa Ge, coupled with Fa Ge's popularity at that time, it was naturally suitable for him to play the leading role, but because Fa Ge signed a contract with a company at the time, "Golden Princess", he could not be allowed to go out to take over the play, so Fa Ge regrettably did not play the leading role.

Who is Shao Liqiong?

The screenwriter of "He Comes from the Rivers and Lakes" and "Twin Hearts", the only two dramas filmed by Xing Ye on TVB.

Therefore, he recommended Xing Ye, and Du Qifeng also felt that Xing Ye had a strong box office appeal at that time, so he asked him to play "The Judge of the Dead"...

The first confrontation between Du Qifeng and Xing Ye was in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", at that time, when Xing Ye, who was running the show, asked Du Qifeng, who was the executive director, if he could stop it and then "die", Du Qifeng ignored it and killed him in seconds.

At the time of "The Judge of the Dead", Xing Ye basically didn't have too much personal play, so the whole movie didn't look so Zhou Xingchi, but fortunately, it was this performance style that made his performance in the movie no longer as unscrupulous and crazy as before, but more restrained, so he won the second trophy in his life - Best Actor at the Asia-Pacific Film Festival!

Later, when "Jigong" was filming, Director Du and Xing Ye had a very unpleasant quarrel!

Director Du complained to the media: "He seems to be a different person, he doesn't participate in the discussion of creation before filming, but he keeps changing things during filming, so it is particularly difficult to move forward with shooting." ”

Although "Jigong" is more relaxed by Zhou Xing, the whole story is about reincarnation and Buddhism, such a serious plot is paired with Xingye's crazy performance, so the whole story looks incongruous...

failed at the box office, and the two parted ways from then on!

Xing Ye also has a reputation for being 'difficult', and he has been scolded for decades...

Of course, there is no star master in this time and space, and naturally there is no "Judge of the Dead" and "Jigong"...

……

In the afternoon, the movie plan ended, and Xiaobai was about to drive home to change his clothes, and he received a call from Zhong Lifang before he got in the car.

The three of them made an appointment at a café near the company, and the third person was Chen Baolian!

I must say why Zhong Lifang is willing to join Bai Xiaofei Studio, she likes to watch the growth of a company from childhood to adulthood, she is very optimistic about the development prospects of Bai Xiaofei Studio, she feels that she can make this studio bigger!

The so-called bigger means to go public...

And when Chen Baolian invited her to go out of the mountain, she made it very clear that the company's future planning was handed over to her!

She has a complete plan, that is, financing, applying for an IPO, and then going public, or simply acquiring a listed company and listing on the backdoor, anyway, there are so many film and television companies listed now, and there are many that are on the verge of bankruptcy...

However, now Bai Xiaofei has publicly declared that the company will never go public, which is different from the plan Zhong Lifang made before!

So, there are some things that must be said clearly to your face.

"Xiaobai, can you tell us about the original intention of establishing the studio?"

"I just want to get out of Yongsheng, and there is tax avoidance!"

Most celebrities create their own personal studios for the purpose of legal tax avoidance, of course, they claim to be in order to develop their own teams...

If you have a business license, the tax paid by the legal representative of the enterprise is different from that paid by a private person.

For example, if the income is 35 million, it is personal income tax to pay the individual, but the company's account is the business tax, and the profit after deduction is the personal income tax!

This deduction can do a lot of articles!

There are also many studios or companies under the names of celebrities, which are often registered in other places, and the only condition they usually consider when choosing a place of registration is the local preferential tax policies.

In order to attract companies to enter, some places will propose a series of preferential tax reduction and exemption policies, and many celebrities and their behind-the-scenes operation teams are aiming at this opportunity to avoid taxes.

There is also a clever way of equity, taking the equity of listed companies, increasing the profits of listed companies with the fame of celebrities, and selling leeks when the stock price is high...

The point is that it's legitimate, and nothing can be found!

If you have to evade this tax, it's too inhuman...

Yin and yang contracts are not the same, that is illegal!

"You don't want to make the company bigger?"

“… It's already big, what is the difference between us and ordinary film and television production companies now? ”

This is true, Bai Xiaofei's studio has various departments of film and television production, investment, artist management, and publicity and distribution teams, with more than 400 mediocre employees, which is equivalent to a medium-sized film and television company.

"I'm talking about going public, becoming a real large company, and becoming one of the giants in the Chinese film and television industry!"
