China Entertainment started in 2004

Chapter 375 Madam, you don’t want to either.
After finishing the call with Wang Zhongjun, Wang Shu received several more calls, all of which were from well-known actors from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places asking people to inquire about the characters.

It is impossible to audition in front of everyone. This is the only way to achieve the goal.

Wang Shu didn't think anything of it.

Because when an actor has a certain status or is popular, the ecology in the industry is to jump from auditioning for roles to being invited to star by the crew, or negotiating privately, instead of still competing in the crowd like a newcomer or a small actor. Audition.

Jiang Wenli went to audition for "The Tuner". In addition to knowing that the script was very good and indeed having ideas, she also had a compulsive mentality at work.

At that time, she happened to have a conflict with Gu Changwei, so she deliberately showed it to Gu Changwei.

2008, April 1.

Wang Shu had just had breakfast when he received a call from Wang Zhongjun.

"Director Wang, there is no problem with the 500 million shares." Wang Zhongjun exchanged a few pleasantries first, and then got down to business, "I just don't know how much share Huayi can participate in "Taipei Trip"?"

Wang Shu was not surprised that Huayi Hui agreed to this matter, because Huayi's capital increase and share expansion in 2007 and 2008 had the nature of increasing the company's basic funds.

Of course, this is the theoretical maximum benefit.

Huayi's funds are not strong. With so many actions, its corporate funds must be stretched thin.

Wang Zhongjun had his own information channels and connections. Of course he now knew that the so-called 3 million investment was a rumor, and 2 million was the real investment.

In short, Huayi is currently short of funds due to frequent big moves, so it only had the second capital increase and share expansion in 08 to absorb funds.

"5%." After hearing this, Wang Shu directly stated a number, and then continued, "The share of "Taipei Trip" has already been divided. I can only transfer 5% of my share to Huayi."

Its two capital increases and share expansions were aimed at artists in the company, but the actual main source of funds was private equity funds.

"The budget of "Taipei Trip" is 2 million, and 5% is 500 million, which is not a lot."

This alone can save you 2000 million yuan in payment in your personal name.

The main purpose of Huayi's participation in "Taipei Trip" is not the theater box office, but to use its name to help Huayi go public.

He said: "Isn't 5% a bit too little?"

"The Night Banquet" in 06, "The King of Kung Fu" in preparation for filming in 07, "Detective Dee: The Empire of Heaven" in preparation for filming in 08, and other film and television works or various aspects are originally intended to help Huayi go public.

If you switch from a company account to an individual account, you will have to pay 20% personal income tax, which is 6000W.

Therefore, the investment share is not particularly important to Huayi.

Huayi's capital increase and share expansion do have the reason to absorb funds to run the company, but it only dilutes a small part of the equity to absorb the estimated funds needed.

At this time, Wang Shu could still gain nearly 4 million.

"How about 10%?"

Got 3.2 million.

Wang Shu chuckled and said: "Mr. Wang, 5% + Li Binbin plays the heroine, isn't that enough?"

For example, if Wang Shu cashes out 4 million, he will have to pay 8000 million in personal income tax.

Moreover, the highest price of 91 yuan was a record set on the first day of listing on the GEM of Huayi. Since the major shareholder of Huayi holding the original shares has a three-year lock-up period, the original shares held by Wang Shu cannot be sold within three years. So he can't keep up with the 3 yuan car.

However, between 2012 and 2013, there were more than 80 yuan.

Wang Zhongjun thought and discussed for a while and then agreed.

There is another explanation for the composition of private equity funds.

Wang Shuhui purchased Huayi 500W original shares in his own name and was subject to a 20% personal income tax.

500W shares, 3 yuan per share, totaling 1500W.

Not to mention, the income after paying 1 million corporate income tax still goes into the company account.

Thinking that Huayi had "The King of Kung Fu" in hand, and that he would make other moves in the future, and most importantly, for the purpose of listing the company, he immediately said: "Okay, 5% is 5%, don't make it difficult for Director Wang. "

The important thing is the cooperation itself.

Rather than rejecting all comers, absorb as much capital as you have.

"I still think 500 million shares are boring. How about 1000 million shares?"

The two continued to talk for a while, and then set a time for further detailed discussions between the two companies.

Now, Wang Shu is not only willing to give money to Huayi, Huayi can also participate in "Taipei Trip", and its artist Li Binbin will star as the heroine, plus help the company go public and other benefits.

However, when the original shares are lifted and cashed out, you need to pay 25% corporate income tax or 20% personal income tax.

Therefore, the number of newly distributed original shares is limited.

Calculated based on the maximum price of Huayi’s listed stocks of 91 yuan per share, 1500W will become 4.55 million.

To cash out 4 million, you need to pay 1 million.

If the original 500W shares of Huayi are purchased in the name of a tree company, a 25% corporate income tax will apply.

These statements are also the basis for Huayi's arrogance.

Wang Shu not only sent money to Huayi, but Huayi could also get other benefits and make a lot of money, so there was no reason to refuse.

In fact, if stocks are selling off, it is impossible for all 500 million shares to be sold at a high point like 91 yuan.

When Wang Zhongjun heard this, he smiled.

4亿的25%+3亿的20%，即为40%。

If Wang Shu purchases the original shares of Huayi in the name of a tree company and cashes out 4 million as personal property, he will have to pay a tax of 1.6 million.

Therefore, buying the original shares of Huayi in your own name is the most profitable way.

Although he would have to pay tax if he converted the 1500 million in his company account into personal assets, no matter how much he paid, it would only be a few million.

There are three to four million more at the moment, but nearly 8000 million less in the future.

He will still settle this account.

Wang Shu came to the audition site, and the audition for the new day was in full swing.

However, now that the male and female protagonists have been determined, only the supporting roles have not yet been decided.

In "Travel to Taipei", the pregnant heroine Wang Shu did not initially consider Li Binbin.

However, the 500W Huayi original stock, the target is to deduct various taxes in the future, and 3 million can be credited to the bank card.

This huge amount of money was so fragrant that Wang Shu could only hold his nose and admit it.

Li Binbin is Li Binbin.
Given her age, it's not like she's not suitable to play a pregnant heroine.

In addition, she is one of the four most famous actresses in China, and she is Wang Shu's preferred mainland actor, so it is not unacceptable.

As a mainland director, Wang Shu naturally prefers to use mainland actors.

If it weren't for the lack of actors in Mainland China who could support the scenes, he wouldn't have used Andy Lau.

Now that Andy Lau is used, mainland actors are used to match other roles.

Whether it is a pregnant heroine, a little girl, a female high school student, etc., he originally planned to choose mainland actors to star.

His tendency is to bring mainland actors to the stage.

After all, if the roles are given to Hong Kong and Taiwan actors, it will be even harder for mainland actors to stand out.

As a mainland director, this is not what he wants to see.

"Hello, Director Wang."

Jiang Xin walked into the audition room, with a reserved expression. She first greeted the people in the audition room, and then lowered her head.

She looked at Wang Shu with some embarrassment.

When Wang Shu saw Jiang Xin walking in, his eyes lit up a little and he said with a smile, "Long time no see."

After hearing this, Jiang Xin raised her head with bright eyes and gave Wang Shu a smile. At the end of the day's audition, Wang Shu met many acquaintances, all of whom were actors he had worked with before.

He felt a little emotional. Those actors used to talk and laugh in front of him, but now they are all very reserved when they see each other again.

Wang Shu understands that this is the inevitable result of changes in identity and status in the circle.

In the past, although he was considered a great director, he was still beyond the reach of the eyes.

Nowadays, not only has he won the Best Director Award at the Venice Film Festival, he has also gone to Hollywood to direct movies. He has already been on the trend of rising from a domestic director to an international director.

In the evening, Wang Shu drove to pick up Sun Li, and the two went to a fairly high-end restaurant for dinner.

This restaurant specializes in Chinese-style structure, with an independent courtyard and an elegant environment.

The dining place is in the small courtyard.

There is a small fountain in the courtyard. In the fountain are rockeries, water and goldfish. There are also various flowers, trees and aromatherapy around.

Every inch of land in the urban area is at a premium, so a hotel that can be built like this is considered to be above average.

There are also higher-end Chinese restaurants whose private rooms are located in waterside pavilions, with no adjacent private rooms for thousands of meters.

Not only is the surrounding scenery beautiful, the environment is equally tranquil.

Wang Shu and Sun Li just had a casual meal together, there was no need to go to such a place.

It's enough to come to a hotel like this with an independent courtyard.

Soon, the ordered food was served, and the two of them started eating while talking and laughing.

When the time was almost up, Sun Li looked up at Wang Shu and asked: "Is there a role suitable for me in "Taipei Trip"?"

Seeing Wang Shu look over, showing his white teeth, he smiled slightly sheepishly and said: "I don't have any acting appointments now, I have a schedule."

At this point, he said a little coquettishly, "If there is a role that suits me, you can find me."

Sun Li did not go to the audition in the past two days, and today she suddenly called Wang Shu and said that they wanted to have dinner together. Wang Shu knew that he would not go to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing, and now his purpose was finally revealed.

Wang Shu smiled and said: "Although you have a schedule, there is no role suitable for you."

"Ah?" Sun Li used surprise to cover up her disappointment when she heard this.

Then, he looked at Wang Shu resentfully.

He pouted his lips, looking very aggrieved.

Seeing this, Wang Shu explained: "The heroine has been assigned to Li Binbin, and the remaining roles of a little girl and a female high school student are not suitable for you."

"Li Binbin?" Sun Li was surprised. She didn't expect that Wang Shu would choose her as the heroine.

Wang Shu took a sip of juice and continued: "I have reached some cooperation with Hua Yi. Not only will Li Binbin play the heroine, but Hua Yi will also participate in "Travel to Taipei"."

After hearing this, Sun Li suddenly realized why the heroine was Li Binbin. She asked curiously: "What kind of cooperation?"

Wang Shu heard this and glanced at Sun Li but did not answer.

Seeing this, Sun Li curled her lips, but did not continue to ask.

She knew in her heart that since Wang Shuming said that he had reached a cooperation with Hua Yi, then there must be a condition for Li Binbin to play the heroine of "Taipei Trip", otherwise Wang Shu would not say so.

Although she was quite curious about what kind of cooperation it was, seeing that Wang Shu didn't want to say anything, she knew she shouldn't ask any more questions.

Then he asked: "Where's the male lead? Who did you choose?"

"Liu Dehua." Regarding Sun Li, Wang Shu did not hide anything and told the answer directly.

Although Sun Li was a little surprised when she heard that the leading actor was Liu Dehua, she was not too surprised.

As an actress, she knows that such blockbusters for the overseas market will inevitably cast big-name movie actors, and there is only a slim chance that ordinary actors will be chosen to star.

It makes sense to choose Liu Dehua.

"Apart from Liu Dehua?" Sun Li blinked and asked again.

Seeing this, Wang Shu deliberately said: "I won't tell you!"

"Yeah~" Sun Li suddenly pouted pretending to be angry.

Wang Shu saw this and asked, knowingly: "Why are you asking these questions?"

Sun Li hummed: "Can't I be curious?"

"Then continue to be curious." Wang Shu responded, then continued to eat his own food.

"." When Sun Li heard this, she turned as white as Wang Shu with resentment, and then said in a low voice: "You clearly know why I ask these questions."

"What did you say?" Wang Shu deliberately pretended not to hear clearly.

When Sun Li saw this, she immediately glared at Wang Shu angrily, making Wang Shu laugh.

Seeing Wang Shu laughing, Sun Li became even more angry and turned down her face.

Wang Shu then waved to Sun Li.

Sun Li saw Wang Shu's movements and hesitated for a moment, but finally got up and walked over.

Then, with Wang Shu holding his waist, he sat on Wang Shu's lap.

Wang Shu then kissed her on the lips.

Sun Li did not struggle, but hummed with a dark face: "What do you want to do?"

Wang Shu chuckled, pinched her face, and then whispered something in her ear.

"No!" Sun Li said with a face full of rejection.

Wang Shu asked quietly: "Then do you still want to know which actors were selected besides Liu Dehua?"

When Sun Li heard this, she immediately snorted arrogantly: "You like to talk or not, but I'm not curious."

"Really?" Wang Shu asked deliberately.

"Otherwise?" Sun Li asked with an arrogant snort.

In fact, she had always decided not to cross the line with Wang Shu.

With such determination, he wanted to keep a normal distance from Wang Shu, so he didn't want to sit on Wang Shu's lap.

However, due to other considerations and concerns, I did not refuse.

Wang Shu chuckled, suddenly held Sun Li's face and kissed her.

Sun Li kept her lips closed at first, but she resisted for a short while, and then she opened her mouth and kissed Wang Shu.

For a long time, the lips are divided.

Wang Shu looked at Sun Lishui's watery eyes and resentful expression, and whispered something in her ear.

This time, Sun Li did not refuse directly, but sat on Wang Shu's lap without moving.

Wang Shu patted Sun Li's leg and motioned for Sun Li to get up.

Then Sun Li half-rejected and half-crouched down in front of Wang Shu.

Then, he kissed Brother Wang who came out to get some air.

The two of them left after dinner without eating much.

Wang Shu drove Sun Li to a remote place and stopped.

After a while, the stopped Audi started shaking incredibly.

There is a saying that Gu Changwei likes to be in the car.

You can’t take it with you at home, and you can’t go to the hotel. It’s most convenient to take it in the car.
