Reborn fashion designer

Chapter 856 Everyone Understands
Sending Mbappe to the Chinese Super League is fake.

In the cozy little apartment, I had a good rest until January 1st.

Since you are going to entertain guests in the villa, you have to make time for the housekeeping staff to decorate it well and make it look presentable.

These two days, Xiangyang and Liu Qianqian actually didn't have much free time.

Although you say that you don't want your lover to be as busy as you are running around in various social occasions, there are some things you cannot avoid.

I attended H51's party.

I also responded to the invitation from Principal An and showed up.

As for invitations from brands such as JCE, Gaultier, Karl Lagerfeld, etc., Xiangyang would more or less take time to take Liu Qianqian to meet them.

To the extent that the two days of rest that were promised seemed even busier than in London.

Even Liu Xixi's social media is the same.

The first week box office of "Black Swan" also came out at this juncture, even though it was due to regional and time differences, as well as culture.

However, it performed as expected and was very strong.

In addition to the good results in Europe and the United States, the total box office revenue in China, including Hong Kong Island, was 4037.4 million, which is considered a very good result.

Among them, with a performance of 543 million Hong Kong dollars, it also topped the weekly box office champion in Hong Kong Island.

this.
Well, Hong Kong Island’s movie box office market is so small, it’s not surprising.

But what is surprising is the performance of "Black Swan" in Japan and South Korea. During the entire Christmas period, it had 23 Japanese viewers and the box office revenue was nearly 3 million yen.

It's no difficulty to become the champion of the box office rankings.

In South Korea, the number of moviegoers is even more exaggerated.

Specifically, after the Golden Globe Awards announced that "Black Swan" was nominated for multiple awards, although it only ranked second on the box office list on the first day, the number of moviegoers increased rapidly on the second day.

When the weekend came, it won the championship of the weekend box office chart as expected.

In just two days of the weekend, around 29 viewers entered the theaters, leaving their local films far behind.

As for the final box office results?
Little John couldn't stop laughing when he saw the string of zeros, but after looking at the unified exchange rate calculation result, he couldn't help but complain.

This is pure deception.

Xiang Yang in Paris, upon learning about this, said to Little John on the phone:

"I've told you before that there's no need to care too much about the film market outside of mainland China." Xiang Yang smiled falsely, but in fact he wasn't smiling at all.
"Yes, yes, you are a great designer, of course you don't have to care about it." Liu Qianqian, who was deceived by Xiangyang and lived in the apartment for two days, had something to say.

Isn’t Neon’s box office of 1600 million RMB money?
The Korean movie earned over 1500 million RMB at the box office in just one weekend. Isn’t that great?
You know, in Korea.

A movie is considered a hit if it has a cumulative audience of 30 to 50 people.

Those that break one million are all big sellers.

You know, back then, "Resurrection of the Dragon" made a good comeback thanks to its box office success in South Korea.

And it only received about 104 million viewers.

Now, "Black Swan" can at least get about 5000 million RMB in box office in this market, which is .
Liu Qianqian still cares a lot about whether the movie she starred in can break 100 million.

Of course, this billion refers to US dollars.

She would not be like Xiangyang, who was not at all impressed by the media in these two regions' high praise for the film's costumes and props.

But then again, there are also domestic media that praised the costume design in "Black Swan".

He also emphasized the exquisite ballet costumes that TJ provided to the crew and the two priceless special ones worn by Natalie Portman.

However, such reports still caused considerable controversy in the country.

They actually spent millions to 3D scan all the actors?

Even the price of the ballet costume worn by guest star Liu Qianqian is tens of thousands of RMB!

The two pieces worn by Natalie Portman cost hundreds of thousands of euros!
This is definitely money grabbing!

And what is that, colorful black
After seeing this report, many netizens said, well, people with the surname Xiang are still good at making money!

Even the clothes of the six blue bloods and eight red bloods are not so expensive, right?
What can Xiang Yang, the design director of Hermès, say about this argument?
I can make money, that's true.

But the opinions from the unofficial lists about the Big Six and Big Eight are really influential in China. Besides, who told you that the high-end custom-made clothes of these brands are cheap?

If you don’t believe it, just ask Dior how much a custom-made wedding dress costs.

The most common styles start at around 10 RMB.

I put a lot of time and energy into it, sewing it myself, and even delayed the pricing of the tutu I made for my wife for hundreds of thousands of euros. What's the problem?
You know, I take a minute or so.
"Xiangyang, come and help me~" Liu Qianqian was very concerned about the party held at her own home.

Even with the help of Bi Shafer, Zhao Xin and Laura, she didn't give Xiangyang the chance to be lazy.

"Come on, wife." Xiangyang put down the drink in his hand and followed Liu Qianqian's instructions. He checked with her the temperature of the beer in the refrigerator today.

By the way, put the other beers that were not put in on ice.

There are several gay friends attending the party today, so how can there be no beer?

"Why are you so obedient today?" Liu Qianqian asked curiously as she watched him put beer into the refrigerator non-stop without giving her any chance to intervene.

"Oh." Xiangyang sighed.

Why else could it be? You promised me that if he behaved well in the last two days, you would buy him a new bike at your own expense.

It's true.

If you want to give yourself a bicycle, why give the old one to someone else?

It would be better if you said it sincerely.

"Then you will be deducted points for your performance just now." Liu Qianqian covered her mouth with a smile and leaned down to say in Xiangyang's ear.

"Then give me some points now." Turning his head to see that the three people who were helping to prepare the food were not looking here, Xiang Yang slapped Liu Qianqian on the face in a lightning-fast manner.

"I've been kissed a lot by you these past two days."

When he kissed her secretly, Liu Qianqian shook her head.

Can you easily fool people with that smug look just now?
You know, with the rising box office of "Black Swan" in China and other Asian film markets, the expectations of "Time Traveler" have also received a lot of attention.

Take the domestic situation for example.

A few days ago, the pre-sale tickets were still in the millions, but in just a few days, they have exceeded 10 million.

A commercial film with an artistic feel has already earned tens of millions at the box office before it was released. Isn’t this important?

Besides, Little John also said it on the phone just now.

The first thing he did after meeting Han Sanping was not to work on "My Altay", but to discuss the copyright distribution of "Time and Space Love Traveler".

Toei Co., Ltd., one of Japan's five major film companies, has shown great interest in this film.

Another Shochiku Films also sent representatives to Huaying.

As for South Korea, there is basically no need to guess. It is basically a foregone conclusion that CJ Entertainmen, a subsidiary of Samsung Group, will release "Time Traveler".

It was the release in Hong Kong that surprised Liu Qianqian a little.

In addition to Xiang Tai's company, Emperor Entertainment Group has also joined in the fun.

Seeing that this company wanted to participate in the distribution, Liu Qianqian couldn't help but wonder, was it because she and her mother-in-law went to see "Bullets Fly" together?

"It's nothing but profit." After putting the beer away, Xiangyang looked at the refrigerator full of Belgian beer and couldn't help swallowing.

To be honest, he had been wanting to change his taste for a long time after being busy with socializing in London and Paris.

No matter how good the red wine is, it can't compare to this! "Maybe."

Liu Qianqian nodded, seemingly expressing approval.

But there are more professional people to take care of this matter, so it is not her turn to worry about it.

What she has to do now is.
With a "beep" sound coming from outside the yard, several dogs lying on the living room instantly stood up from the carpet with their tails raised.

"The guests are here~" Liu Qianqian looked outside the house with a very happy tone.

It can be seen that during the two days since returning to Paris, she has been visiting other people's homes and is looking forward to the day when she will be the master of her own house.

"Wait a minute, I'll take a picture."

Seeing her rushing to find the central control to open the door, Xiangyang was a little slower.

"Why are you taking pictures?" Liu Qianqian stopped, turned around and asked.

"To Little John~"

"Haha, then hurry up."

Liu Qianqian smiled even happier instantly~
There is nothing more joyful than enjoying the upcoming party while others are busy.

"."

Little John laughed when he received Xiangyang's photo.

He casually took a picture of the sauce in front of him and sent it to Xiangyang.

In just one week, "Black Swan" raked in more than 3000 million yuan at the box office in mainland China. If normal trends continue, it will have no problem breaking million yuan.

"Mr. Han, is our profit share calculated at 25%?" He accompanied Han Sanping for a drink in the middle of the day with a clear purpose.

1% of 25 million is about 370 million US dollars.

And 13% only
"Mr. Rang, the new policy has not yet been officially implemented. This may be difficult." Although Han Sanping had drunk some wine, his mind was clear.

Cooperation is cooperation, and relationships are relationships.

When it comes to money, he will not violate the current profit-sharing system.

Otherwise, he would have to change his career and start operating a sewing machine.

25%, that will have to wait until 2012.

"However, as for taxes, we at Huaying can help pay them on your behalf, which can save you a lot of money."

Do Hollywood movies released in China need to pay taxes?
Of course you have to.

Not to mention the 13% that needs to be paid now, even the 25% that will be implemented later, don’t even think about taking a penny more in taxes.

It seems that 25% of 2500 million is million.

But that's before taxes.

After tax, it would be good if we could reach 2200 million.

Hearing this, Little John was speechless. He thought Huaying could give him some subsidies.

After all, Hermès Film Investment Company has made great efforts both from an investment perspective and in assisting Huaying to expand its overseas markets.

in the end.
"Mr. Rang, please don't make it difficult for Mr. Han. This door cannot be opened." Wang Changtian, who was accompanying the table, stood up and filled little John's cup with the sauce and said with a smile.

"Then can this tax be transferred to Hermès? As you know, we have donated a lot of money this year...."

Little John blinked.

If tax exemption is not possible, then find a way to avoid tax.

"Mr. Rang, that depends on whether there is a film investment company or CC Films on the list of donating companies."

Han Sanping thought for a moment and said.

As for other reasonable ways to avoid or exempt taxes, it is not that they do not exist, but it is difficult for Hermès Film Investment Company to meet the standards.

"In this way, we can keep the retained fees to the lowest possible level. This is the biggest discount that Huaying can offer. In addition, we will prepay your company's earnings as soon as the movie is released."

"Thank you so much, Mr. Han." Little John picked up the wine glass and toasted Han Sanping with a glass of wine.

no way.

The money is in other people's hands.

He knows the times.

Huaying only charged a 1% distribution agency fee, which actually gave him an extra 2 percentage points of profit.

this.
No matter how small a fly is, it is still meat.

Little John has to start raising money everywhere for various projects next year, so naturally he hopes to pocket as much as he can.

"It would be great if I had a financial backer like Standard Chartered Bank."

After a glass of wine, Little John couldn't help but sigh.

Even though they were celebrating the success of Black Swan, it was nothing compared to the press conference held by Liverpool FC and Standard Chartered Bank.

The sponsorship of 2 million pounds is not even comparable to the net profit of a movie like "Black Swan".

Even the international football world was shocked by the huge sponsorship fee.

So much so that many newspapers that are familiar to fans have used "The Wolf is Coming" as their headlines, pointing out that Liverpool will be planning a transfer in the summer window after the end of this season that will be enough to change the European club football scene.

"Mr. Rang, how about this? Your company has already invested in several projects for next year. If funds are really tight, we can also spare some time to talk about copyright introduction."

Han Sanping saw that Little John seemed melancholy, so he took the initiative to propose.

After all, they did help him and Huaying a lot, so as long as they didn't cross the bottom line, they would still help him.

He also roughly guessed why Little John cared so much about money.

The movie that Liu Xixi is about to participate in has a huge investment.
"copyright?"

Little John was stunned.

Yes, how could he forget about this.

The high-quality film copyrights that Hermès Film Investment Company has held in the past two years are all excellent.

Previously, Weinstein Company was very interested in remaking the American version of "The Intouchables".

I don't know.

They have no interest in anything else.

If that doesn't work, just drag 20th Century Fox into making some extra money.

"Mr. Han, how about this? Your company sells the overseas distribution rights of "Time Traveler" and "Blood Battle at Wenshankou" to us at a low price."

"???"

Han Sanping couldn't help but cast a look at Little John and said with a smile: "Sir, please don't mention this. I was just about to ask."

"We are definitely interested in publishing it. After all, haha, everyone knows."

Little John said this and the others started laughing too.

These two films have only one thing in common.

Little John was so blatantly abusing his power for personal gain, it must be.
