Chapter 141: Get Rich!
It's just that after filming this scene of fighting in the rain, Zhang Yimou suddenly had a new idea after a few days, because he wanted to show the virtual and real in this movie.
This scene belongs to the scene in memory, and it is what the nameless played by Li Lianjie told Emperor Qin in the palace hall.
And the reason why the seven masters of the Qin Palace, who were not so powerful, were allowed to go first, was to ask them to be witnesses.
Witness that he did fight with Changkong.
In the film, black and white is real, color is false, and there are many bright color designs in subsequent shots, including the clothes worn by Liang Chaowei and some brightly colored scenes.
And Changkong, as a lie told to Emperor Qin by no name, was obviously not suitable to wear black clothes.
"Jiang Bai, connect the scene in the rain when you look back, let's find an opportunity to reshoot it."
So Zhang Yi found the two of them and informed them of the matter.
"Why the remake? Is it because it's bad? Li Lian asked.
"Well, I think it's a little flawed, Changkong's clothes don't fit, and I'm going to change his clothes when the time comes."
After hearing this reason, both of them were speechless.
Waited so long for a light rain, and now it's going to be remade?
Isn't this a joke?
God doesn't care if you're filming or not, maybe there will be no rain for the next month, or maybe after a month, there will be a sudden rainstorm.
There's still no way to shoot.
But Zhang Yi came over to inform them this time, not to discuss with them, even if it was Li Lian's current status, he couldn't say anything, so he could only nod and agree.
After another half a month or so, their plot here has been filmed, and the next step is to go to Inner Mongolia, but they haven't waited for the rain for a long time, so they can only wait here.
In the end, Zhang Yi was tired of waiting and decided to take advantage of this time to do something, he first called a group of media reporters to come over to visit the class, and then organized everyone to play the later scenes first.
If there is anything that needs to be changed, it is better to revise it in advance.
It was during the time of waiting for the rain that the crazy stone finally appeared.
Zhao Zhe basically calls Jiang Bai every two or three days to report the box office results.
Until the day of the next release, Crazy Stone finally came out at the box office.
"Three thousand six million five hundred and one thousand, a tenfold increase!" Zhao Zhe's tone on the phone became sharp, as if he was telling the emperor that the queen had given birth to a father-in-law of a dragon son.
And Jiang Bai was quite calm.
"Congratulations to Brother Zhao for becoming famous in one fell swoop!"
"I'm happy and happy, but when will you come back from filming?"
"I estimate that it will take about two months, mainly because Director Zhang's filming is a bit grinding." Jiang Bai replied.
"Okay, you can be content, this is still Zhang Yimou, go back and take Wang Jiawei's film again, only then do you know what the real grinding is, it is commonplace for a movie to be made for more than a year, and it is possible for two or three years more.
But none of the actors who have worked with him and the financiers who have invested in his movies can come out of his crew with a smile, even if they laugh, it is a relieved laugh. ”
"So exaggerated?"
"Yes, I'm not joking with you, this is a real thing, Zhang Guorong almost fell out with him because Wang Jiawei was too abrasive in filming."
"Then I'm ......"
"It's okay, should you pick it up or take it in the future, although he has serious procrastination, but it's a big deal for you to be embarrassed when the time comes, and it's nothing to be embarrassed when the time comes, he can delay and can't not allow us to go outside to pick up the work, right?"
"That's right."
"By the way, one more thing, I've already chosen the address of the new office, which is a little far away from us, but it's okay if you have a car, and I want to ask you when I call this time, do we need to open a few more companies?"
"How many more companies? Why? ”
"Because of policy support, each company has a certain amount of tax exemption, and now you get a salary of one million, and then it will only be a little more than half, but open a few more companies, and divide the money when signing the contract, you can use the tax exemption amount of each company, so that you can pay a lot less taxes."
"Is this possible? Isn't that a crime? ”
"It's not like it now, people in the entertainment industry are doing it like this, after all, only half of one million is in hand, and the company has to take away some of it, who can stand it? And in addition to the entertainment industry, many large companies outside are also doing this, in short, they can get a lot of money in a year. ”
"Then they are not afraid of being investigated if they do this?"
"It's hard to say, but after all, in order to make money, there are still many people who are willing to take this risk, and this is also called reasonable tax avoidance, which can only be regarded as a gray area for exploiting loopholes, and their company will actually cooperate with some departments, including sometimes some movies and TV series will also say that a star's salary is very high in publicity.
But sometimes the other party says 20 million, and the actual hand may only be 5 million, mainly to raise the value, facilitate publicity, and wait until the actual tax payment is still according to the normal revenue, and those cooperative departments will not debunk, so you see that many smaller brokerage companies will register their addresses in some second- and third-tier cities. ”
Jiang Bai thought about it, if Zhao Zhe said so, he could indeed make a lot of money in a year, but this thing is just like Zhao Zhe said, it is a loophole, and it may not be investigated now, but if it is seriously investigated or if someone is offended, then this kind of thing will definitely be exposed.
This is definitely not Jiang Bai's unfounded worry here, because just a few months ago, Liu Xiaoqing was reported and imprisoned for similar reasons.
Although it is said that with his own character, he may not offend anyone in the entertainment industry, but he is not afraid of 10,000 in case, even if some people do not take the initiative to provoke, the other party will look at themselves red.
Maybe in any drama in the future, someone will compete with him for the leading role, and this matter will be exposed.
"Forget it, Brother Zhao, I think it's better for us to be safe, although we can indeed make a lot of money after this operation, but even if there is only a little risk, it is still a risk.
We can't afford to cut off all the ways in the future for this money, what do you say? ”
"Well, I actually think I can do it."
"Brother Zhao, that is, we have a good relationship, so I'm talking to you about this, I don't want the two of us to go in because of this kind of thing, let's open a company normally, take the show safely and steadily, and the advertising may earn a little less, but at least this road can always go on, besides, how much money is enough, if you take that step, you may not be able to take it in the future."
"Okay, you're right, let's make money safely and steadily, less is less, but it's better in the long run."
"That's right."
"Okay, then let's do this first, I'll hold a reception banquet for you when you come back, and by the way, celebrate our box office hit."
"No problem, then we'll see you in a few months, and feel free to call me if anything happens along the way."
"Okay goodbye, go to bed early."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Bai thought about what Zhao Zhe said before, in fact, he could also understand Zhao Zhe, after all, most people are doing it, and basically no one has an accident because of this, so Lao Zhao will inevitably move.
If it weren't for the fact that he overturned the car at the end of his father-in-law's side, maybe Jiang Bai would have nodded, but in his previous life, he failed in the mission and died, in the final analysis, because he was not careful enough and didn't find out that person was backing up earlier.
If you are cautious enough to discover this hidden danger in advance, you may have spent the rest of your life in the court now.
But apart from this, Zhao Zhe said that the box office of their film eventually reached 36.51 million.
Of the 36.51 million, 8.3 percent of the tax revenue will be set aside first, of which 5 percent will be earmarked for special funds for the film industry and 3.3 percent will be for special business taxes.
That is to say, after deducting this tax, the remaining money can be called the account-sharing box office.
Of the remaining 33.48 million in this part, 57% of the cinemas and cinema chains are retained, and China Film Digital is 3% of the distribution agency fee.
After that, the remaining 40% goes to the filmmakers and distributors.
Since the distributor was introduced by Xu Qingdong, the money charged by the other party is not so high, and generally speaking, the agency fee charged by the distributor is 2%~6% of the divisible box office.
If the film producer requires the distributor to prepay the publicity and distribution fee of the film in the contract, then the distributor will charge more agency fees, and if the distributor promises to release the minimum amount, buy out the distribution, prepay the production fee, etc., then the distribution agency fee will be higher.
But Zhao Zhe didn't choose this way at the beginning.
So in the end, the number that came down was 4%.
Of course, because the movie happened to be released in time for the summer vacation, in order to be able to increase the number of films, they also promised to give 3% box office rebates to theaters and theaters, which means that the money they can get from the divisible box office in this movie is 33%, that is, 11.048 million.
And Wu Jing and Zhao Wenzheng invested 500,000 yuan each, and in the end they were able to get about 1.58 million.
Zhao Zhe brought a total of one million, some of which was paid by Zhao Zhe himself, and some of which was borrowed, so three million and sixty thousand of them were divided between Zhao Zhe and the people over there.
As for the rest of the money in this, it is all ginger.
That's four million nine hundred and ninety-one.
But Jiang Bai also borrowed 500,000 and 800,000 yuan from Zhang Jizhong and Xu Qing respectively.
Even if he pays back a little more at that time, Zhang Jizhong will pay 50,000 more, Xu Qing will pay 100,000 more, and he will have 3.46 million left.
Of course, the bearded man only repaid the 500,000 borrowed this time.
The other million will be repaid at the end of five years.
"No wonder everyone wants to make a movie, double the money directly, and the cycle will take more than a year at most." Jiang Bai couldn't help but sigh as he counted the number.
Not to mention that there is some capital to do something else in this.
It will take a while for the box office to be shared, but by then, the hero is estimated to have finished filming, and the money here will be about 3.2 million after it arrives, plus the box office of the movie, it will be more than 6.6 million.
And then there are the two endorsements I received, and I also have one million in hand.
and the money from the snowflake goddess dragon, about 500,000 yuan.
There is also the music copyright of Yuexia Song, which can also have hundreds of thousands at that time.
In this way, by the time the hero finishes filming, he will have nearly nine million in his hands.
It's not a good thing, Jiang Bai was shocked after the calculation, he actually made so much money in a year this year!
"It's outrageous!"
He had to sigh that doing this was really making money, and what he paid from beginning to end was only a year's time, plus hundreds of thousands of investments.
"No wonder everyone wants to be an emperor, a big official, and the leader of the martial arts alliance, it's good to be famous."
Jiang Bai couldn't help but sigh in his heart, but even so, there were still people who took advantage of the loopholes and wanted to make more.
"It's really not enough people."
Jiang Bai couldn't help but sigh.
And with this money, Jiang Bai can also consider buying a house.
"No, I'll buy it when I go back this time, and strive to live in a new house next year."
Jiang Bai thought in his heart.
They waited here for another three days, and finally ushered in another rain, God is still quite face-saving, the light rain is dripping, and they finish filming in the rain where they will be filmed at the end.
Just in case, Zhang Yi deliberately asked them to shoot two more.
After that, they traveled to NMG Ejina Banner, Guangxi, Guilin, Yangshuo, and Jiuzhaigou in Sichuan to shoot separately.
The overall filming process was quite smooth, and Jiang Bai was also finished first.
finally finished filming this scene, Jiang Bai deliberately asked everyone for autographs before leaving.
"Brother Jie, can you sign it for me?"
"Yes, yes, that's it."
"Can I sign another one? I asked for my sister just now, and this is my own, yes, my sister is also a fan of yours. ”
"Sister Manyu, remember what we said before, if Xing Ye still has a film to film, remember to recommend me."
"Brother Chaowei, we have time to go skiing together."
Although Liang Chaowei is usually very introverted, under Jiang Bai's unremitting communication, he still has a good relationship with the other party.
At the same time, he also learned that the other party likes skiing, and Jiang Bai has not been exposed to this sport, but he is still quite interested.
"Sister Ziyi, thank you for your signature, if there are foreign resources, you can also help me introduce them...... No problem, no problem, I will introduce it to you when I have the right opportunity. ”
"Brother Jing, BJ will remember to look for me later, and I will take you to meet a few friends."
"Director Zhang, if there is a role suitable for me in the future, just call me, no matter how busy I am, I will shoot with you first."
"Okay, okay, then I'll withdraw first, I wish you all a smooth shooting in the future, and I also wish our hero movie a box office hit when the time comes."
In the end, Jiang Bai took Su Rou and was sent to the airport by Zhang Yimou's car, including when he was in the crew, even if Jiang Bai went out for personal reasons, he could use the crew's car and driver.
Obviously, now that Jiang Bai has appeared at the airport again, there are more people who come to Jiang Bai to sign and take photos.
