Chapter 430: You Need a Tax Lawyer (part 2/5)

The National Day file has long been recognized as a big schedule.

At the end of 2009, a bunch of film projects were set up, most of which were invested by coal bosses.

In addition, "Avatar" raged for three months, which caused many projects that were originally scheduled to be released to have to be postponed...

As a result, there was a situation where this year's National Day was released in a bunch.

"Hawthorn Tree", "Jingwu Fengyun", "Sword Rain", "Di Renjie", this is not, just put one into the cold schedule, you can pull the market!

At this time, "33 Days of Broken Love" was released!

And it's in a league of its own.

Let's put it this way, "Sword Rain" was released on September 28, and it didn't cause much of a stir, and the theater originally gave 30% of the film schedule, but in the evening, the original screening hall was directly given to "33 Days of Broken Love" - no way, the attendance rate of "Sword Rain" is low!

Moreover, starting from the 25th, Tianya and Tieba began to circulate a rumor about Mr. Wu Yusen: suppressing mainland actors...

Rumors such a thing, don't look at my own statement, but look at his practice!

Ouyang Na was TD with various rhythms, and people sang "My Motherland" on stage at the National Day Gala - regardless of whether she was willing or not, the power of idols still exists!

What has Director Wu done over the years?

praised Lin Zhiling, and used Zhao Bafei to bring it out!

According to statistics, after returning from the United States, a total of 11 Taiwanese actors were used in the 7 films he produced, creating the largest number of Hong Kong and Taiwan directors training actors from a single region!

"Red Cliff" and "Rain of Swords" add up to a total of 9 Taiwanese actors, and in the past 10 years, among the Chinese films with an investment of more than 90 million, there are only two Taiwanese actors who have starred as co-productions!

As a director, you should dedicate the best film works to the audience, so as to live up to the enthusiasm and support of the audience.

If you take some people who don't have any acting skills to act, no matter how much investment, no matter how good the materials, how well-made, and how tricky the hype gimmicks are, it is extremely irresponsible to the audience, and they are all deceiving the audience's feelings, and they will inevitably be ruthlessly abandoned by the audience in the end.

As an excellent and appealing director, you must inject your own ideas into the film, and this idea is positive and good, and it is definitely not a narrow selfish mentality.

It just so happened that the white pigeon made such a big mistake!

As a mature director, it is obviously very undesirable to have this kind of thinking and behavior, on the other hand, his thoughts and behaviors show that his personality is not mature.

So, who is to blame for being brought to the rhythm?

Therefore, no one buys "Rain of Swords", who is to blame?

......

Shen Mengxi didn't pay much attention to "Rain of Swords", until the box office was 4 million on the first day, and he didn't care...

4 million...

"33 Days of Broken Love" had a box office of 19 million on the first day of the next weekend, and the odds were all beating it...

As for "Jingwu Fengyun" and "Hawthorn Tree", the box office of the two is added together, and it has not reached 10 million...

The cinema schedule is decided!

In first-tier cities, eight major cinemas are scheduled, and "33 Days of Broken Love" accounts for 38%!

Why?

Because Mengxi Company has a good relationship with the theater chain, a series of low-cost horror films and comedies are the ones who benefit.

However, today "The Empire of Babel" was released...

Huayi Brothers has a strong momentum - "The Great Earthquake" has set a new box office record, and it is coming with momentum, today's film schedule, "Tongtian Empire" accounts for more than 30%, and "33 Days" is squeezed down, only 20%...

However, in terms of word-of-mouth marketing and online discussions, "33 Days of Broken Love" beats "Tongtian Empire"!

Even if "Tongtian Empire" can turn the tables in the early stage and officially enter the National Day file, "33 Days" can still be thrown off...

This is confidence!

......

company, Zhao Jinsong walked in with a strange face: "Li Guoxing of Meiya said that he would meet us!"

"Li Guoxing, I know, you can go for me, just say I'm counting the money, I'm not free!"

“... People might want to work with us..."

"What can you work with?

Zhao Jinsong was speechless...

Meiya Entertainment, Li Guoxing and his son Li Dengxu, the projects they produce all year round are low-cost third-grade films, such as "Love Yepu", "Duck King" and the like...

Later, it was overtaken by Fang Yiyuan, the producer of "All the Way West" and "Third Brother ***"!

However, One-Yuan Productions later wanted to transform into a big production and invested in "Bauhinia Man", losing millions of Hong Kong dollars...

Anyway, these two companies have no appearance in Zhao Jinsong's opinion!

Meiya Entertainment, the home of DVD hair...

Do you know Besta?

It's the besta (!) that was killed by Netflix.

He's also a DVD publisher...

"Forget it, I'll send him away..."

"Hmm. ”

Shen Mengxi is really counting the money, to be precise, the money from the small number is legally flowing into the large one...

"Source Code", "Shark Beach", "Mechanical Ji", "Super Body", "Sky Rescue", "Doomsday Collapse", including "The Great Wall" and "Megalodon" have a total investment of at least 800 million US dollars, and it is definitely not Shen Mengxi who invests alone, Da Tiantian solves 100 million US dollars, Warner Bros. solves 200 million, and China Film solves 100 million US dollars...

For the rest, the trumpet solves!

The trumpet has a cash flow of almost 700 million US dollars, and Shen Mengxi is thinking of a way to transfer 500 million or 600 million US dollars to China, and then invest in Tang Ren's name...

That's right, the legal transfer of overseas assets!

You said that you should take them all and press them on several projects in the name of investment, isn't it okay!

No, you have to guarantee a profit!

For example, if you say "Ex Machina", this film has a global box office of up to $36 million, and if you cost it $40 million, won't it be a loss?

As a listed company, you have to ensure the profit and loss of every movie...

Fortunately, there is a "Super Body".

This thing blows hard, let's just say that the cost of 80 million US dollars is 400 million in the world...

And "Source Code", which can also blow 60 million dollars ...

Blowing means to do the accounts, and to do it formally and meticulously enough, otherwise the American law is enough for you to drink a pot.

The IRS regulates that: foreign financial accounts held for investment, including: foreign non-account assets such as foreign stocks and securities, foreign financial instruments, contracts with non-U.S. persons, and interests in foreign entities;

This includes not only bank accounts, but also retirement accounts and life insurance plans.

It's all taxable!

S Studio, Bren House, and Dream Creek Studio are all registered in New York, which means that in terms of attributes, they are American companies.

However, investing in movies can offset a portion of the tax rate!

Zhao Jinsong stretched out his head to look at him, and then reminded: "This kind of thing, find a professional tax lawyer to do it, you can't count it..."

"I can't do the math, I scored 134 points in mathematics in the college entrance examination!"

"Then do you know how much consumption tax credit and investment tax credit can be deducted?"

Shen Mengxi's face darkened: "... Okay, you go and see Li Guoxing, I'll go to the United States next week, and ask David to introduce me to a few tax lawyers..."

Also, Lao Mei's tax issue is not even clear to Lao Mei's citizens, so it's strange that Shen Mengxi can figure it out.

"Huayi invited us to the premiere of "Tongtian Empire", do you want to go?"

“... Let's check it out..."
