Huayu has been doing one good deed a day since 2001

Chapter 59: Going to jail? [Please read]

After Li Wenyu understood the general situation, he laughed and joked, "That's not right, Director Wang. Even if Li Jiaxin doesn't go, don't you still have Azhi?"

"After finishing the filming of Azhi, I am so happy. Rong Ge's film has been shortlisted for the main competition unit of Cannes. I am still looking forward to walking the Cannes red carpet."

Qiu Shuzhen got married and gave birth to two daughters for Mr. Shen. It is normal that the other party is unwilling to make a comeback, but strictly speaking, Li Jiaxin's costume is not very outstanding.

Her ancient costume is not as stunning as her modern one.

Without Li Jiaxin, Rosamund Kwan is also 40 years old, but the new generation is still capable.

Wang Jing smiled bitterly, "Azhi has already been added and reserved. This is not the female lead Zhang Min. We want to save the second female role for Li Jiaxin. If she doesn't come, Azhi will have to become the second female lead, and we'll look for another beautiful woman to be the third female lead."

Li Wenyu smiled and said, "Okay, I'll talk to Li Jiaxin about it. I can't guarantee whether it will succeed or not."

After he hung up the phone, he complained to Pang Bing, "This year's summer movie season is incredibly lively."

The Piano Tuner, which was the first to trigger the "one more shot" publicity campaign, started with a box office target of 1.5 million yuan. The Infernal Affairs, which is coming in with great momentum, will surely be a hit in mainland China as well.

Plus a sequel to (The Demon Cult Leader)?
No matter how many tricks Jet Li does in the future and how much he exhausts himself, he still has appeal now.

At this stage, Ajie still looks like he is trying to catch up with Jackie Chan.

These three movies are enough to surprise the fans and audiences. He also doesn’t know how the sequel to The Demon Cult Leader will be written, but Feizai Jing is capable in this area.

Jiang Yuyan, who was originally going to be Yang Xi's lifelong masterpiece, was the one he managed.

Fat Bing said happily, "So how much can we expect at the box office this year? Is this really what you wish for? Want to push the mainland box office to the billion mark?"

In 2001, the total box office in mainland China for all movies, whether Hollywood or mainland productions, Hong Kong films, etc., was 8.9 million yuan, and in 2002 it was 9 million yuan.

It was not until 2005 that the total box office in mainland China reached 20 billion.

Pang Bing also heard Li Wenyu's story about how a blockbuster movie stimulated the recovery of the film market, and the small owner of a county cinema hurriedly opened a branch under this stimulus.

There is also capital invading to open chain stores and expand like chain Internet cafes.

She didn't understand the big blueprint or blue ocean or anything like that, she just thought it was awesome!
Very impressive! Lao Li is indeed the great talent she admires to the point of being lost in admiration.

When Li Wenyu wanted to say something, the phone rang again. It was the boss of Wahaha, Zong.

After he answered the phone, a cheerful voice came over, "Director Li, we at Wahaha are ready. This summer, we'll be promoting Feichang Cola, purified water, and then Wahaha Black Tea. We're all implementing the "one more bottle" strategy."

Old Li was delighted. "Congratulations! As long as the momentum continues to build brands and cultivate a group of users, I wish Boss Zong a firm position as the leader in the beverage industry."

I had my first conversation with Mr. Zong in March, and now we have entered a new round of cooperation.

Pang Bing and Azhi will join the Wahaha spokesperson camp without charging any money.

But this is for the promotion of Tuner. The endorsement fees of the two beauties, such as Pang Bing's 500 million before tax, are paid by Brother Rong, the Xiang family, and Huayi.

Boss Zong also said frankly, "Director Li, I'm waiting for two superstars, Fan Bingbing and Zhang Bozhi, to come shoot the commercial. They are the most beautiful and second most beautiful women in Asia, respectively."

"Wahaha is honored to be able to cooperate with you two. The bottles of our upcoming beverages will be printed with numbers and promotional copy by the film sound engineer."

"I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation and achieve a win-win situation!"

After two months of talks and long preparations, Pang Bing and Azhi’s free endorsement is only for one year, but they can shoot more commercials.

After all, this involves three brands: Fanta, Wahaha Pure Water, and Wahaha Black Tea, and Boss Zong is attacking three battlefields at once.

He replied with a bright smile, "Everything is easy to talk about. How about we have a meal together? I'm in Shanghai these two days."

China Film Group, the cinema chain, has taken the lead, working alongside Huayi and others, and they've been able to accomplish a lot over this long period of time. New digital promotional materials, along with the film's title, are now printed on every Wahaha beverage bottle.

This is more nationwide than the last online digital viral promotion, and it is the physical beverage that has penetrated the country.

Boss Zong laughed and said, "I can go to Shanghai tonight."

Li Wenyu was also in a good mood. "No problem. I'll wait for Boss Zong to come."

After some more pleasantries, he hung up the phone.

He parked the car by the roadside and got the stamp while holding Fat Bing.

After a few minutes of heated debate, Li Wenyu slapped the steering wheel and said, "This time, the tuner is absolutely sure that this movie will break the 2 million yuan box office in mainland China!"

Fat Bing was stunned. "Is the cooperation with Wahaha such a big boost?"

She had heard of this plan before.

Li Wenyu nodded. "We sell hundreds of millions of bottles of Wahaha black tea, cola, and purified water every year, and the "One More Bottle" campaign has spread far and wide."

"This is more hardcore than all the ground-based advertising in Hero Reality."

9 million yuan for the entire year? If The Sound of Music took in over 2 million yuan in one summer vacation, and Infernal Affairs and The Devil's Cult 2 also took in 10 million yuan, the annual box office could easily exceed !
It will also allow several major Hollywood studios in Hong Kong and the United States to see the potential of China's voting base.

The quality of The Shallows' explosion is not very strong, but the tuner is definitely worth it for it to rise on the cusp of the trend.

Li Wenyu laughed again and said, "After paying taxes, you can use the money you earn recently to buy Moutai shares and hoard them, including the money you earned from endorsing Wahaha."

This endorsement fee is paid by the investors.

Fat Bing was stunned. "Moutai, you like Moutai? And then there's taxes. 45% personal income tax. For example, if I earn 2000 million, I'll pay 720 million in taxes. I forgot who told me that Liu Xiaoqing is being investigated for taxation. What will be the outcome?"

Liu Xiaoqing will be arrested and imprisoned on June 6th of next month!

It is normal that there are rumors spreading outside now, after all, he is a big star.

Li Wenyu was speechless. "Paying taxes is very important. I started a company instead of a solo studio to avoid being accused of tax evasion."

"You can't cross this red line. You don't want to be arrested and thrown in jail one day, do you?"

When opening a studio, the accounting audit generally requires a tax rate of 5% to 35%, which is also the biggest way for wealthy celebrities to legally avoid taxes. Individuals directly pay 45%, which does hurt many people.

But he still wants to train Pang Bing to be a tax pioneer!
Paying this amount in advance became a routine in the early 00s, making it less convenient for capital to launder money in the future.

He said to buy Moutai? This is mainly because Moutai’s ability to hype is too amazing.

Maozi, which currently has a market value of 90 billion yuan, will have a market value of 2021 trillion yuan in 2.9, an increase of more than 300 times.

Pang Bing's total pre-tax income has been increasing. After paying 45% tax, taking 1200 million yuan after tax to buy Moutai as an example, it will be 2021 billion yuan by 36.

It is impossible to cash out all the profits at the peak, even if you earn 250 times less, it is still 30 billion!
Besides, Pang Bing gets a salary of HK$500 million for a movie, which is all money, and he still has a lot left after paying the million from Wahaha.

Continuously buy Maozi to generate income and easily become a billionaire.

After hearing his words, Fat Bing angrily bit him a few more times, "You want me to go to jail? Fine, if you make me angry, I'll take your baby to jail to give birth."

She always felt that Lao Li was an extremely sharp-tongued person. It was fine if he had used Yan Zi and A Ru to provoke her before, but now he was even going to jail? This was outrageous.

(ps: It’s Monday again and PK is about to start, please follow me~)
