China Entertainment started from cutting off the Hu in 1995

The Hollywood Seven themselves have little interest in film festivals, but their subsidiaries do not.

In fact, many independent film companies in Hollywood are subsidiaries of the Big Seven. For example, Harvey Weinstein's Miramax is owned by Disney, Focus Features is owned by Universal, and the parent company of New Line Cinema is Warner.

After Sony acquired Columbia, it also established Sony Classics specifically to be responsible for art films and independent films. A few years later, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was promoted by Sony Classics throughout the entire process, including distribution strategy and Oscar public relations.

Wu Yuchen did not lie to Havertz before, and the one who was interested in his "Che 44" was Sony Classics.

"Mr. George, there has always been a group of fans of Wild West-style movies in the United States. If the background of "Car 44" were changed there, the style would be more absurd and brutal, coupled with more blood and violence, I would I think you will make good profits.”

George, the person in charge of Sony Classics who came to contact him, did not speak, and looked at Wu Yuchen while thinking.

Wu Yuchen did not panic and added:

"Actually, Miramax has also contacted me and is willing to offer a higher price. But to be honest, I believe more in the reputation of Sony Classics."

George raised his eyebrows, then smiled: "Choosing Sony Classics is the right decision. The adaptation rights are US$300,000, deal done!"

In the past two years, Miramax's Harvey Weinstein has become famous in the independent film industry, and George doesn't want to delay it any longer. US$300,000 is not a high price for Sony Classics, so there is no need to hesitate for tens of thousands.

As this young Chinese director said, after buying it, find a few screenwriters to adapt it, flesh out the characters of the hero and heroine, fill in some stories, and let the robbers create more entanglements in the car. There is still a high probability of making a profit. of.

Wu Yuchen also smiled and shook hands with George. He was already satisfied with the price of US$300,000. Not to mention that Miramax hadn't come to him, he wouldn't believe it even if it came to him for an offer of US$500,000.

Because that guy Harvey Weinstein has deceived a lot of people. He will first lure you with a high price and give you a deposit of tens of thousands of dollars. Then he will cheat after other film producers have left and cut the price to one-third or even lower. You are really helpless. Feng Pants was tricked and called Harvey a liar.

Two days later, Wu Yuchen received all the money, with a total of US$420,000 lying in the account.

To be honest, if he didn't take this money back to China, no one would know about the tax liability. Naturally, he has no intention of defaulting on his debt. It is a citizen's duty to pay taxes legally!

However, he also has his own plans. This money is currently counted as his personal income. Anyone who has paid taxes knows that the tax payment season for the money earned this year is from April to June of the following year.

So he plans to keep 300,000 US dollars in a foreign bank account, invest in Yahoo after it goes public this year, and bring 120,000 US dollars back to China. The main reason is that if you bring them all back, it will be easy to exchange US dollars for Chinese currency, but it will be troublesome to exchange them back later. At least 10% must be put in in the middle, so just don't bother.

The tax on this income of 420,000 US dollars will be paid next year. By then, it will have doubled several times by relying on stocks. It will not be too painful to pay more than 80,000 US dollars in taxes. The income from film copyrights is based on the copyright tax of 20%. Handed over.

It's a pity that the theme of "Che 44" is not right. When it comes to "Two of Us", after a film that falls within the scope of policy support wins an award, it can apply for special fund awards for cultural industry development or preferential tax policies, which can basically be offset A big part of it is tax.

Jiang Qinqin touched the fashionable coat that Wu Yuchen had just bought for her, feeling like she had been in a dream these past few days. Following Wu Yuchen abroad, the two first visited Berlin's attractions, and then the short film became popular at the film festival, and even won the Golden Bear Award for Best Short Film at the closing ceremony!

Her impression of Berlin was fantastic, a dreamlike experience. But now as the plane takes off, the city on the ground is gradually getting smaller, and we have to say goodbye to this place.

Not only Jiang Qinqin and Wu Yuchen were in a good mood at this time, but also the crew of "The Sun Has Ears" flew back to China with them. The heroine and producer Zhang Yu was in high spirits at this moment.

This sister is very generous. She specially invited Wu Yuchen and others to dinner a few days ago and made an appointment to go back together. Moreover, he did not shy away from the fact that he sold his movie rights for US$850,000 and spoke openly about it.

But Wu Yuchen felt that even so, the movie would probably still lose money. In his impression, "The Sun Has Ears" was a mess at the domestic box office.

Sister Zhang Yu was very talented at the time. She invested 10 million yuan by herself, specially bought a label from Changchun Studio, hired a director from Hong Kong, a neon soundtrack, and many domestic experts, using what she learned from the United States. I made this movie with my experience in filmmaking.

Although he won the director award, the director is from Hong Kong. Who is going to promote it in the domestic media?

I relied on this copyright to make some money back, but in the end I still lost millions.

However, he is not worried about this rich sister. She also went to the United States to work for a few years. Her business talent is so much better than that of Tu Honggang. There is a company in the United States, a fertilizer factory in Shandong Province, and a mine in Vietnam. They just use business to support entertainment. .

After staying in Berlin for more than half a month, when Wu Yuchen and the others returned to the capital, they happened to be celebrating the Lantern Festival.

After getting off the plane, he sent Jiang Qinqin back first. Wu Yuchen was not in a hurry to go home, but called Hou Keming first.

"Teacher Hou, happy Lantern Festival!"

"Happy, happy, you're back? What's the result?" Hou Keming asked immediately as soon as he heard Wu Yuchen's voice.

"Best Short Film Golden Bear."

"Really took it?!"

"Really, I happen to be near the school. How about I bring it to you to have a look now?"

"Hahaha, okay, okay, come here quickly!" It was obvious from Hou Keming's voice that he was extremely happy.

When he arrived at Hou Keming's house, Wu Yuchen also saw Xie Xiaojing coming over.

When Hou Keming saw the gift Wu Yuchen brought, he was not polite: "Put it aside. Where is the medal?"

Seeing both of them looking at him eagerly, Wu Yuchen smiled and took out the medal.

After holding the medal and looking at it carefully for a while, Hou Keming handed it back to Wu Yuchen, and then said with a smile:

"The Golden Bear you won for Best Short Film is the best New Year gift I have ever received!"

Then Hou Keming thought of something again and said, "Wait a moment, I'll make a call."

After a while, Hou Keming came back with a smile:

"I just had an affair with Lao He. You can go over there tomorrow after Scissors goes to work. I won't embarrass you."

"Thank you, Teacher Hou!"

After Wu Yuchen came out, he found a phone and called several people who were concerned about his condition. He also wished him New Year greetings. The Lantern Festival had not passed yet, so it was still the New Year period.

After putting down the phone, Wu Yuchen touched the BP machine on his body and sighed that it was time to change his phone.
