Super entertainment red envelope

Chapter 893 Invitation to Produce a TV Series!
"Fortunately, Mr. Tang, you made the decision in time!"

Li Zhifan said with a smile, "Facts have proved that it was the right choice for us to go public later."

"It's all thanks to you!"

Tang Qingyun said happily, "Look at those who failed to get out in time, they all fell into it, and Huajiu Film and Television broke, haha!"

"Ok, I know!"

Li Zhifan knew this a long time ago, but he didn't know why Tang Qingyun was so happy. Was it gloating?

But you must know that you have only narrowly escaped death. At this time, it is not the time to laugh at others, but the time to introspect.

Therefore, Li Zhifan reminded: "Mr. Tang, now is not the time for us to be happy. We should clean up all the tea in the company and strictly introspect."

"I have also considered this!"

Tang Qingyun said, "However, within our company, there is no tax evasion. As for cheating and looking for mistresses, these are all personal issues, and it is difficult for me to find out clearly in the shortest time!"

"Think about it!"

Li Zhifan didn't say much. After all, he was not in charge of the management. As a company executive, Tang Qingyun should have this responsibility and obligation.

In the next few days, the Ren Zhiqiang incident continued to ferment.

Even though Ren Zhiqiang was detained on the same day and quarantined for inspection, the matter still did not end, but intensified.

A few days later, several internal contracts of a certain crew were exposed, and this crew was the crew of Ren Zhiqiang's new movie.

These several contracts involved several leading actors in the movie, all of whom were top-notch celebrities in the industry.

For a while, the news once again appeared on the major search lists, and the whole people discussed it.

Netizens were full of criticism, and these celebrities instantly became enemies of the people, and almost lost all their fans.

Even if there are some hard-core fans, they dare not come out to say a word now, and even turn their fans into black directly.

"It's in vain that I have liked his plays for so many years, so he is such a person!"

"So much money? Is the director crazy? Dare to play like this?"

"The money in the small contract is seven times that in the big contract. Good guy, these people really dare to operate!"

"From this point of view, such things must not be uncommon in the entertainment circle, and I even doubt that everyone has them!"

"You see so many companies and studios, all of which have reached XJ. They are all leather bag companies. What are they all for? Isn't it for tax evasion?"

"That's legal tax avoidance, which is different from tax evasion!"

"They continue to evade taxes on the basis of legal tax avoidance. This is even more shameful!"

"It should be strictly investigated. I hope the country will crack down vigorously. If this is the case, a large area should be investigated and dealt with!"

"I'm afraid there will be no one acting at that time, and all the stars will be knocked down!"

"I don't believe there are no clean ones?"

"Yes! Li Zhifan probably wouldn't do that!"

"Of course he won't. He takes the company's dividends. He shoots the film himself, invests himself in the acting, writes the scripts himself, and doesn't get paid. He gets the money according to the company's dividends. He pays a lot less tax than labor income!"

"I can rest assured that!"

"But what's the difference between this and those who start their own companies and studios?"

"There is no difference. The only difference is that he cannot do tax evasion. Otherwise, the entire Oriental Entertainment would be evading taxes. In that case, the country would have investigated it long ago!"

"..."

This big earthquake in the entertainment industry came more violently and sooner.

Although the national tax department did not take any action immediately, everyone knew that these actors were finished before the matter came to fruition.

As for the final result of the matter, they may all be imprisoned, and that would be the end.

Oriental Entertainment.

Self-examination operations have been going on.

Tang Qingyun originally thought that all the artists in his family were clean.

However, no, more than 80.00% of the artists have had similar problems.

Some took commercial performances without bond, and split up with the agent in private.

Some even received advertisements, game endorsements, etc., but the tax was guaranteed at a very low price.

However, most of these problems only appear in the small part of the salary. The big money earned by those film and television dramas are still honest and there are not too many problems.

This is mainly due to the fact that the agency department of Oriental Entertainment always asks for after-tax when negotiating remuneration for artists.

Therefore, the tax has already been funded by the producer, and there is no need for artists and Oriental Entertainment to pay taxes a second time.

Currently, the headache for Oriental Entertainment is that all artists who have similar problems don't know how to deal with them.

From Tang Qingyun's point of view, these are minor problems. If you don't check them, it's fine. But if you want to check them, if you really look into them, it will all be solved in one pot.

So Tang Qingyun, who was in a dilemma, called Li Zhifan again.

After clarifying all the problems, Tang Qingyun wondered: "Zhifan! What do you think I should do? How should I deal with it?"

"Then what doubts do you have? Make up for it?"

Li Zhifan said, "We should set an example now and give determination to the national taxation department, so that if there are any major problems in the future, they can turn a blind eye and close one eye, what do you think?"

"Make up?"

Tang Qingyun said, "I've considered it too, but many people haven't said everything. If they really have to pay back, they will definitely not trust it!"

"Then our company will pay for them!"

Li Zhifan said, "As long as the amount is not too large, we can advance the full amount, but the premise is that they sign an agreement to participate in a company's work for free in the future, of course it is a supporting role, or even a guest appearance. For singers, It is not a difficult task for them to participate in a concert hosted by the company for free."

"That's how they paid for it?"

Tang Qingyun opened his mouth slightly and said nervously, "Isn't that too bad?"

"If the problem is found out, how much our company's stock price will fall, I don't need to say? When our company's reputation among the public drops again, you can calculate how much we have lost, right?"

Li Zhifan said, "But if we set an example and take the lead in applying to the taxation department to audit the accounts and make public the final review results, then Mr. Tang can definitely figure out how much our stock price will rise and how much our reputation will increase! The important thing is, this time you helped these artists, they will thank you forever!"

Tang Qingyun nodded and said: "Well, it makes sense, but I have to hold a meeting with everyone to chat, and you can talk about it when the time comes!"

"I'm not going!"

Li Zhifan said, "At that time, let the assistant go to a meeting and vote for me. I'm a little busy recently, and I still have a lot of things to do!"

"Okay, then you are busy with your work, I have arranged this matter!"

In Tang Qingyun's heart, he already had a decision and a plan.

……

One month after the Ren Zhiqiang incident, the issue of taxation in the entertainment industry has never stopped.

Not only celebrities, but even many entertainment companies have been greatly implicated.

The Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai regions are the habitats where domestic stars are concentrated, as well as domestic entertainment companies of all sizes.

The taxation department here took the lead, from top to bottom, from the provincial level to the municipal level, and took the lead in conducting investigations on large and small entertainment companies and celebrity studios in the region.

It's a mammoth job, and almost all the tax collectors in the province have been assigned.

Moreover, many elites were seconded from Lin province to check the accounts with all their strength.

The capital city more than 1000 kilometers away.

Although there are many celebrities and entertainment companies here, a comprehensive investigation has not yet been carried out.

However, when the entertainment industry was in dire straits.

The Beijing Municipal Taxation Department released the first investigation report, and made a review announcement on Oriental Entertainment and all its contracted artists. The announcement stated that there was no problem at all.

As soon as the announcement came out, it caused a sensation on the Internet.

Some people questioned, saying that this is a joint drama, and it is impossible for everyone to have no problems.

But most of the netizens liked it one after another, willing to believe in this innocence.

"Yeah! Relieved!"

"It's good that Li Zhifan is fine!"

"Dongfang Entertainment is fine, that's great!"

"In this way, there is no need to worry that the second part of "Harry Potter" cannot be filmed smoothly!"

"It's really okay? Why don't I believe it?"

"Nonsense, the relevant state departments have verified it, and still question it?"

"If you say there is a problem, you are afraid that your brain is sick?"

"Don't slander, people's reports have come out, still don't believe it? If you have the ability, go to the tax department to check the accounts!"

"..."

On the same day, the stock price of Oriental Entertainment was soaring all the way, and when the market closed, it directly rose by more than 13 yuan.

Everyone knows what such an increase means.

Especially those stockholders, looking at such data, are ready to buy a lot the next day.

On the other hand, Huajiu Film and Television has already fallen to the limit, and it is very likely that it will be delisted.

Oriental Entertainment.

A reception organized by the company.

"Hahaha, Zhifan, this time it's all up to you!"

Tang Qingyun was very happy, and the tax payment for all the artists under his banner was less than 5000 million.

But during this period of time in the stock market, they have earned more than 50 billion. Such a considerable profit made not only the people in Dongfang Entertainment happy, but even the headquarters of Dongfang Group sent congratulatory emails.

"It's all due to Mr. Tang's timely decision that led to today's situation!"

Li Zhifan raised his wine glass, "Come on, let's do it!"

"it is good!"

Tang Qingyun drank it down in one gulp, then took another cup, and said to all the employees present: "Come on, let's have a toast, I, Mr. Tang, respect everyone!"

Many of the artists below, who were saved by the company's favor this time, raised their wine glasses and happily responded.

Li Zhifan walked around the crowd a few times, clinked glasses with many people, and then left the reception.

He has been really busy these days.

Busy writing the script for The Lord of the Rings 2.

For this film, it may not be produced this year, but it is already on the company's schedule. As for when the filming will start, it is currently uncertain.

And if it is going to be filmed, it is very likely that the second and third parts will be filmed together, so in addition to the scripts of the two parts, there are intermediate preparatory plans, investment plans, etc., which need to be prepared in advance.

This preparation time may take as long as a year, because contacting actors, filming locations, and crew construction all take time.

However, Li Zhifan only needs to do a good job in the preliminary design, and have a professional team to operate it. Even for the shooting of these two films, he may also find a few assistant directors to shoot, and he only needs to control the overall situation.

Besides.

The research and development of the mobile game "Glory of the King" is also a big project that he is very concerned about at present.

Unlike making movies, this mobile game is his personal project, from proposal to design, to final investment, is Li Zhifan's main operation.

At present, the research and development has entered the second stage, starting to make the overall structure of the game, and it is estimated that it will be completed in more than a month.

It doesn’t take long for a mature company to make a game, especially for copying and plagiarizing existing games, because there are research and development templates, and the code is just that, programmers think about it, and they are basically mastered.

But "Glory of the King" is different. After all, it is an original game, and it does not have references like "Wolf Warrior Mobile Games".

Although it is not enough for a blind man to cross a river and a blind man to touch an elephant, because Li Zhifan has personally described all the details and framework of the entire game, but how to deal with these is still a problem that the team needs to solve.

Also.

Li Zhifan has very high requirements for detailed handling.

He hopes that the game can be adapted to all mobile phones when it is produced, so in terms of optimization, it will also be tested for several processors and GPUs that currently account for the most.

Because this game has not been developed yet, and it has not been introduced to the public, so they can only cater to all the current high-end, high-end and low-end processors, and it is impossible for mobile phone manufacturers to cater to them.

But there are exceptions.

For example, in cooperation with Lei's Group, we can jointly optimize and polish.

When the game becomes popular after its launch, Lei's Group can also take advantage of the trend to launch an adapted mobile phone for double-sided marketing.

……

Home.

"This is the sales volume of "Harry Potter" this week, take a look!"

Liu Zexin took a report to him, and complained, "Hey, being your manager is really troublesome. You do everything, filming, singing, and writing books. Can you make me relax?"

"You want to relax?"

Li Zhifan smiled and said, "Find a dozen or so assistants, and you can command by remote control! Besides, for such a small matter, you just have to come over and send it to me in person, just send it to me by email!"

"I sent an email, when did you reply?"

Liu Ze said heartily, "I came to see you this time, and I have another matter."

"What's the matter?"

Li Zhifan asked casually.

"William Entertainment signed a cooperation agreement with TNO in the United States, and will produce new TV series for TNO. Mr. Cheng is calling, and I hope you can participate in the production."

Liu Zexin said, "Or provide script ideas!"

"This Cheng Wenbin really treats me like a donkey!"

Li Zhifan smiled, of course he was joking with himself.

At present, Li Zhifan's work in China and the North American branch of Oriental Entertainment have been handed over to Cheng Wenbin.

Cheng Wenbin has a background in science and is very good at company operations, but he is a layman when it comes to the core of the cultural industry—content production.

This time it was hard to talk about the cooperation with TNO, and he immediately thought of asking Li Zhifan for help.

If there is no Li Zhifan, I am afraid that I will really be caught blind!
