Chapter 347: Gathering Together
Li Tang's lawyer was introduced by Director Xiao Teng, how hot is China, of course, you have to find a local lawyer for local matters. This lawyer Zhang is said to be very good at fighting divorce lawsuits. In the memory of Li Tang's previous life, the lawyers who are good at fighting divorce lawsuits in the United States are usually very powerful, especially in the economic field.
In fact, the content that Li Tang wants to consult is a small case in the eyes of lawyer Zhang, and the most important thing is that he does not understand the policy. What Zeng Jia told him is legal and compliant, and today's investment promotion and tax reduction policies are similar to the situation of attracting foreign investment in the early days of reform.
If you want to attract people to invest real money, you must first let people get benefits and make money. This is the same as fishing to make a nest, and the child is reluctant to catch the wolf.
As for Li Tang Weimao, he didn't let Lawyer Zhang, who is good at fighting divorce lawsuits, serve as the legal counsel of the studio or the company in the future, and let Zeng Jia find a candidate?
It's still the same sentence: the heart of guarding against others is indispensable, and listening to it is clear. To put it bluntly, what if people collude together, you can't listen to what others say, you always have your own judgment.
When the interests are small, everyone can talk about feelings and righteousness. When the interests are great, it is not the so-called feelings and righteousness that can be controlled, and it is necessary to prevent problems before they happen. Don't let others take advantage of the loopholes, and at the same time, it is not to protect this rare feeling and righteousness.
Of course, Li Tang can't let Zeng Jia do it in vain, any emotional maintenance, painting pies and the like are all false, and life is beneficial in the world.
"I asked the lawyer to help draw up an investment agreement, you can take a look at it first." Li Tang threw an agreement directly on the coffee table.
"What investment agreement?"
Zeng Jia was stunned for a moment, thinking that someone wanted to invest, so he picked up the investment agreement and opened it. But when she saw the most important content of the agreement, she couldn't believe her eyes for a while, and after reading it carefully twice, after confirming that it was correct, in addition to surprise, she felt more relieved.
Zeng Jia has always advocated the realization of personal value. What is the measure of personal worth? It's nothing more than power and money. right, she has it now, and the current work of the studio is basically up to her.
But she knew that this power was Li Tang's trust in her and was granted to her. In other words, this power is the kind that has no foundation and can be taken away at any time. But once her stake in the company is clear, then she is a partner in the company, and this power is even more justified.
The same is true for money. 5% of the shares have exceeded her expectations, not to mention anything else, let's just say that the studio has earned more than 20 million this year, and 5% of the income has exceeded 1 million, which is enough to buy a big house in Beijing.
The reason why she is relieved is because she feels that she is not following the wrong person. Originally, she thought that even if the company was established, when it came to its achievements, or before the company went public, maybe Li Tang would be able to give herself a part of the shares, maybe it would be an option. But she never expected that Li Tang had already taken herself into account the moment she agreed to establish the company.
Zeng Jia forcibly suppressed his excitement and said with a smile: "Brother, if you let me invest, I don't have any money." ”
Li Tang glanced at her and smiled: "I didn't let you pay for it, this 5% is an equity incentive." Once this company is set up, if you suddenly tell me that you are quitting and leaving, where can I find someone? ”
"Brother, don't forget, I encouraged you to set up your own door, and I won't run if you kill me!"
"Don't, don't be too busy showing your loyalty just yet. I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what if. You said that if someone poached you with equity and high salary, wouldn't you leave? ”
Originally, the conversation between the two was a bit of a joke, but at this time, Zeng Jia shook his head with a straight face and said, "No!" Unless you drive me away, I'll follow you. ”
This is easy to cause ambiguity, especially Zeng Jia's long legs, and what else Li Tang personally experienced last time, it is absolutely genuine, there is no gasket or anything.
For a while, his originally calm eyes became fluttering, and he didn't want to look at each other directly, so he hurriedly changed the topic and said, "By the way, you don't mind if I participate in the name of the studio, right?" ”
The new Shengtang Film and Television, the company has not yet been officially established, so let's call it so for the time being. In the future, Shengtang Film and Television has two shareholders, Li Tang Studio accounts for 95% of the shares in the name of the corporate shareholder, and Zeng Jiazuo is a natural person shareholder accounting for 5%.
Because the studio is wholly owned by Li Tang, it means that Li Tang controls 95% of the shares. To put it bluntly, all the profits created by Li Tang's studio before, including the dozen or so houses in Wangjing that he had just bought, had nothing to do with Zeng Jia, the current shareholder of the company.
Zeng Jia noticed Li Tang's dodging eyes, and also realized that his words just now were easy to cause misunderstandings, and he was inevitably a little lost for a moment, but he was soon overwhelmed by the sense of accomplishment at work. As long as he signs this investment, he is completely tied to Li Tang, and the career goals he originally planned have been achieved in advance.
Compared with career achievements, what is a small loss in feelings? What's more, she has always been a pessimist, and often warns God that it is fair, and that it is impossible for all good things to be taken by one person, and there will be gains and losses. If she were asked to choose between career and love, she would not hesitate to choose her career.
At this time, he immediately smiled and said: "Don't say it, I'm still thinking about the dozen or so houses that seem to have nothing to do with me!" ”
"That's easy, I can give you a house now, but you have to get a little share in exchange, how about it?"
Although it was a joke, Li Tang was a little tentative.
However, Zeng Jia was not ambiguous at all, and directly pouted and said, "Cut": "I won't change it!" ”
Li Tang used the studio to take shares, and the statement of the house is on the one hand, and on the other hand, there are also considerations for future development and interests.
For example, Li Tang uses the studio as a shareholder, and the biggest advantage is that the studio is used as a "wallet", and future dividends and dividend income do not have to pay taxes. In addition, reinvesting dividends in the future can also effectively avoid corporate income tax and personal income tax.
Of course, there must be gains, for example, if there is an equity transfer in the future, then the studio will have to pay 25% corporate income tax, and if Li Tang still wants to put the money in his private name, then he will have to pay 20% personal income tax.
It's just that the equity transfer is still far away for Li Tang at present, unless the company develops to the scale of the current Huayi Brothers, there may be cooperation between capitals.
So he explained this deep-seated reason to Zeng Jia again. In fact, he didn't say that Zeng Jia also knew this, after all, he had been in charge of hosting the studio for so long, and he still knew some about these basic equity structures, taxes, etc.
When he saw Zeng Jia signing his name on the last page of the agreement without hesitation, Li Tang couldn't help but say, "You won't take a serious look anymore?" ”
Zeng Jia raised his head and said: "Didn't you just say, I was afraid that I would leave to give this equity incentive, you even gave the equity, and I was afraid that you would dig a hole in this agreement!" ”
"Uh......"
Well, you have a point!
Zeng Jia's execution is very strong, and on the same day, he invited the staff in charge of attracting investment in the local development zone to come over and began to talk about various preferential policies.
The negotiation went smoothly, in fact, in the final analysis, it was because of Li Tang's star effect.
Shengtang Film and Television was soon established, so Li Tang's title changed from the original head of Li Tang Studio to the chairman of Shengtang Film and Television Company, and Zeng Jia naturally became the director and general manager.
……
On this day, the reception room on the third floor of the company gathered.
Xiao Tengdao said with envy: "Li Tang, it's really big, don't forget your brother if you have any good opportunities in the future!" ”
When he first contacted Li Tang, on the one hand, he looked at Senior Lu's face, on the other hand, he felt that the other party's acting skills were good, and he had just won the Huabiao Award for Film Newcomer, maybe there would be opportunities for cooperation in the future.
But after contacting him, I found that Li Tang was really good, he would not deliberately flatter, he would speak truthfully, and he would never brag like others like that, but made Xiao Tengdao willing to be friends with him.
From Li Tang's point of view, everyone is almost the same, and they all have a selfish and hypocritical side. Although Xiao Tengdao also has this or that problem, at least he is quite honest with himself, so Li Tang is also willing to make him such a friend.
The two have gradually developed from friends with wine and meat at the beginning to good friends like Wu Jing and Xu Guangtou.
At this time, hearing Xiao Tengdao's sour words, Li Tang didn't mind, he knew that he was very envious and jealous of Zhang Baibai now.
Indeed, since learning that "The Subway to Spring" was shortlisted for the Venice Film Festival screening unit, Director Xiao Teng has often been reflecting, how can a low-cost electricity that he doesn't really look down on himself be shortlisted for the Venice Film Festival with Li Tang's participation?
Although it is only a screening unit, you must know how many domestic directors dream of going to overseas exhibitions, let alone the famous three major European ones.
And everyone who understands understands that Zhang Baibai can be shortlisted this time, in a sense, it is equivalent to getting a ticket to the overseas film industry, and he can even get a familiar face in Europe, and if he has the opportunity in the future, he can go further. You must know that the leaders of the so-called sixth generation of directors who are now famous: Section Chief Jia, Zhang Yuan, Lou Ye, Wang Xiaoshuai and others have all come over step by step.
In fact, in the past two years, he has also been transforming into the film industry, and has made two art films one after another, but unfortunately let alone going to overseas exhibitions, he can't even afford to make a splash in China. In desperation, he could only go back to tinkering with his TV series.
Especially now, when he saw Zhang Baibai and Liu Zhan with full faces, full of longing for the upcoming trip to Venice, the sour water in his stomach bubbled out.
Li Tang ignored his sour words and said with a smile: "You are doing a good job in this drama now, you have to let me praise you!" ”
During this time, Beijing Satellite TV is broadcasting the urban idol drama "You Must Be" directed by Director Xiao Teng, starring the popular Xiaosheng Chen Kun and Ziwei Ge Green Xinru, as well as the Beijing talent actor Ding Zhicheng, it is said that the ratings are quite good. Just yesterday, Li Tang heard the little girl from the company talking about the plot of this show.
Li Tang only watched a few episodes occasionally, and the works directed by his friends always had to be popular. Otherwise, you won't be able to talk next time we meet, and it will be embarrassing.
To be honest, the plot and acting skills are quite average, that is, Chen Kun and Lin Xinru are very popular now, which can naturally drive the ratings. However, he was attracted by a female number two named Yang Xue in this drama. Déjà vu, to be exact.
After thinking about it for a long time, he remembered that there was a Chinese actress who played soy sauce in "Independence Day 2" that he had watched in his previous life and looked almost exactly like her, and he thought it was the same person at first. But it seems unlikely when you think about it, after all, it was a movie fourteen years later, how could a woman not change at all after fourteen years?
The most important thing is that he was quite impressed by the name of the actress in "Independence Day 2" at that time, and chose the English name of "Angel Baby". You think, how could a serious person take such a name?
But then again, Director Xiao Teng is still quite good in the TV circle, from his first famous work "New Romance Era" to the current ratings of several TV series are good.
But this product is obviously not satisfied with his current results, and when he heard Li Tang mention his TV series, he just snorted lightly, and then turned around and chatted with Wu Jing.
Speaking of Wu Jing, he actually came over on crutches today. Not long ago, while filming the martial arts TV series "Golden Silk Rain", his knee was accidentally cut by an axe.
Although action actors inevitably bump and bump when filming, such as the kung fu emperor Li Lian, when he cooperated in the filming of "Hero" last time, Li Tang heard him say that he was covered in injuries. It's just that Wu Jing's injury this time is more serious, his kneecaps are broken, and he has to heal for at least half a year.
But this guy has been in a very good state of mind lately, and the reason is that he is in love again. The woman, Li Tang, also knew that she was the minority girl named Yaqi when she was filming "Youth Outing" with her ex-girlfriend and Xiaopang. The two met when they collaborated on "Shaolin Warrior King" at the beginning of the year, which was similar to when he was filming "Tai Chi Grandmaster", they saw the right eye, and then they came together.
Compared with Zhang Baiyi and Liu Struggle, who are noisy and noisy, Li Tang is more willing to chat with the quiet Diao Yinan. Of course, this quietness is relative, that is, it is not ostentatious, and it always looks very stable. And compared with Zhang Baibai and Liu Zhan, two crooked melons and cracked dates, Diao Yinan is definitely a handsome guy. Last year, he even starred in Hong Kong director Yu Liwei's art film "The End of Tomorrow", which was shortlisted for the Un Certain Regard section of this year's Cannes Film Festival along with "The Little Tailor".
Again: circles are important!
Yu Liwei is Chief Jia's old partner, and this time he can be shortlisted for the Cannes Film Festival, in addition to the quality of the film itself, Chief Jia must have contributed a lot.
At this time, when talking about this movie, Li Tang regretted that he didn't stay in Cannes for a long time this time, and he couldn't see this movie, and joked with Diao Yinan that he should not be a screenwriter or just be an actor.
Diao Yinan shyly said that he was just helping at that time, and he still liked to write. Then it was natural to talk about a script he was working on now......
I don't know how to do it today.,There was a lot of material.,But it's always wrong to write.,I don't know what to write.,Maybe it's because of lack of concentration.。
