Heads Up Hollywood

In Tang En's view, the wine table culture of persuading and fighting for drinks is really a bad habit.

However, existence makes sense.

Tang En in his previous life was not high enough to understand the meaning of this.

In this life, he counterattacked, and his status is high enough. After experiencing such a baptism of the wine table, he has a new understanding of the wine table culture that has lasted for thousands of years.

Existence is reasonable.

Drinking and chatting, enlivening the atmosphere, can really quickly shorten the distance between each other. After a few glasses of wine, Tang En became dizzy from drinking, but he was actually a lot closer to Lao Mouzi.

Lao Mouzi's face turned red like a jujube, and he couldn't hold back his chatterbox. He chatted cordially with Tang En, "This time I invite you over, not only about the "Film Promotion Law", but also about the film festival!"

"Film Festival?"

"Well, the Film Bureau and the city government plan to hold the World Chinese Film Festival, and the venue is in the capital. The procedures and preliminary preparations are almost done."

Tang En shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it will be difficult. The Golden Statue Awards and the Golden Horse Awards... The Hong Kong government's movies are over, and the Golden Statue Awards have lost their vitality, but the Golden Horse Awards are too powerful."

Some people at the wine table shouted: "The Golden Horse Award is nothing! When our film festival starts, the first one will kill the Golden Horse Award!"

The person who spoke was surnamed Gu, and he was Lao Mouzi's royal photographer.

Later, he jumped out to work alone and became a well-known director. However, he did not jump out of the identity of the old schemer Ma Zi.

In this sentence, there is a resentment that cannot be concealed.

For such a big-name director as Lao Mouzi, in the Chinese-speaking circle, the only one who can compete with him is Ann Lee who is working hard in Hollywood.

How ridiculous is the result?

Lao Mouzi has not even been nominated for a Golden Horse Award!

Especially in recent years, when mainland movies have entered the fast-track development period, the Golden Horse Awards seem to have blocked mainland movies, which is completely contrary to the founding purpose of the Golden Horse Awards as the global Chinese-speaking film awards.

At first glance, it is the policy restrictions on Baodao. The moth created by the puppet President Chen is using administrative means to pressure the Golden Horse Awards to fight against the mainland.

Most of the people present are bloody northwestern men, who can bear it?

Tang En remained somewhat sober and did not hit the opponent.

This World Chinese Film Festival still ended in failure.

As Lao Mouzi said, the preliminary preparations were very satisfactory, and it was only a matter of finishing. However, there is a big problem with the system here. Above the Film Bureau there is the General Bureau, above the General Bureau there is the Propaganda Department, above the Propaganda Department there is the Presbyterian Council, above the Presbyterian Council there is the Supreme Presbyterian Council...

Any decree can abort an already planned project.

For example, this World Chinese Film Festival.

It seemed to be going well, but as a result, in 2005, the Propaganda Department promulgated the "Administrative Measures for the National Literary, Press, and Publishing Awards" to centralize the rectification of national awards, requiring the reduction or prohibition of various award activities in the film industry.

After the release of this document, many film awards were cancelled, and even the Directors Guild Award was banned and closed. The Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards, which were originally held once a year, were forced to merge into the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards, which are held every two years.

Under this general trend, the planned film festival naturally came to an end before it even started.

Tang En smiled and said: "Administrative matters... I won't talk much about it, hehe, don't you want to meet people from the Film Bureau tomorrow? Let's talk about it later. Talking about the filmmakers of the Hong Kong government, I heard that many of them went north Survival, how is it?"

Everyone's complexion is not very good-looking.

Lao Mouzi pondered for a while, and said, "How should I put it, there are good and bad. You can learn from others, and those things that violate laws and regulations... don't touch them at all."

"Illegal law and discipline?"

Lao Mouzi let out a hey, "We old-fashioned people, how can we know so many twists and turns? I thought that making a movie is just making a movie. When those people from the Hong Kong government came over, they gave us a glimpse of the world."

Tang En was very interested in this topic, "How is it?"

On the other side, Gu Changwei cursed and said, "Playing with a female star..." As soon as the words opened, Ms. Zhang's face changed, and she said loudly, "Brother Chang Wei, rest if you drink too much, let the director talk!"

Play female star?

This topic can not be nonsense.

Don't even look at who is in front of you!

Lao Mouzi took up the topic with a smile: "Capital operation, what else can I do? Cooperate with some industrial companies, let them participate in film investment, help them evade part of the tax, and the film company will take another sum of money, and they can also use the The movie was made... Hey! I don’t understand if I talk too much, anyway, the method is one set, it’s a mess!”

Tang En understood it as soon as he heard it.

It's all left over from Hollywood.

However, Hollywood has developed for decades, and the United States has already perfected its supervision in terms of law. It is still in its infancy here, and there are many loopholes to be exploited.

For example, if an industrial company makes a profit of 10 million in a certain quarter, but according to the national tax law, it first pays 25% of the corporate income tax, and if the remaining 7.5 million is to be transferred to the boss’s personal account, it must pay at least 45% of the personal income tax.

Then the profit of 10 million, basically after getting it, only less than 4 million is left.

If the boss spends the 10 million to make a movie, the receiver only needs to pay 3% to 5% of the sales tax, and the seller can even charge a small amount of handling fees and taxes, and transfer the more than 9 million directly to the buyer’s boss. Personal accounts, this is called money laundering.

The criminal cost of money laundering is too high, and the criminal process is too obvious.

If the boss registers a film company by himself, turns left and right, and spends more than 9 million yuan to make a movie in name, but actually only spends 1 million yuan, and the remaining 8 million yuan will have a safer place.

Many coal bosses and house owners invest in movies, knowing that they will definitely be scammed by the filmmakers, but they will insist on investing. In addition to being able to play with female stars, this is the way to cash out.

How much money can a filmmaker cheat?

The large amount of taxes and fees avoided has long been earned back.

Bai played a female star, made a movie, and finally made money.

Why not do it?

...

"Brother Tang, are you okay?"

When Tang En went to the bathroom, Miss Zhang quickly got up to help him.

"fine!"

Tang En waved his hand, feeling a little wobbly.

Miss Zhang smiled and said, "Let me help you, don't go in and pee your pants after you can't even untie your belt."

Tang En was so drunk that his tongue was a little big, "It can't be done, these people can drink too much!"

Ms. Zhang's eyes lit up, "Then stop drinking, go directly to the guest room to rest, and I'll just tell the director."

"you?"

Tang En looked her figure up and down, and was really not very satisfied.

The figure is mediocre.

Miss Zhang blushed, and said in a tired voice, "Brother Tang..."

"Don't wave!"

Tang En glared at her and walked directly into the bathroom.

Ms. Zhang didn't shy away, and followed in. She really helped her untie her belt, and said with a pouted: "Brother Tang, just let me arrange it, and do my best as a landlord."

"How to arrange?"

"I'll listen to you."
