Chapter 222 Planning to Enter Overseas
After hearing Lu Ming's words, Shi Huan leaned into Lu Ming's arms and said, "No matter what kind of movie, it is impossible for everyone to like it, as long as the majority like it."

Lu Ming touched Shi Huan's head, and said, "Well, you're right, I don't really care about that."

What Lu Ming is thinking now is what kind of movie he should make next, and whether he should start his next move.

Being so blocked in the country, it might be a good way to go abroad. Besides, he actually wanted to go abroad a long time ago, but he never had the time or opportunity.

The current domestic development situation is not optimistic, but the development is relatively stable, and the company has a certain amount of funds, so it is completely possible to try to develop abroad.

If it develops better abroad, maybe it can support Tianmeng Media in turn.

At this time, Lu Ming said: "Let's go to the company early today, I have something to do."

Shi Huan said, "Okay."

Then the two got up from the bed, washed up, had breakfast, and went to the company together.

After coming to the company, Lu Ming held a morning meeting first, and then began to make a plan to enter foreign countries.

At about ten o'clock, Liu Mengmeng entered the office and said to Lu Ming, "Director Lu, the Film and Television Administration is here. They seem to want to ask you for something."

Hearing this, Lu Ming was taken aback for a moment, the Film and Television Administration?

What are they looking for?
Soon Lu Ming realized that it was probably because of the movie tax issue.

Their movies are shown online, so they don't pay any movie taxes, but their movies are considered movies in principle, and if they don't pay taxes, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction among other film and television companies.

Lu Ming asked, "Where are they now?"

Liu Mengmeng replied, "The reception room."

Immediately, Lu Ming immediately went to the reception room.

After entering the reception room, Lu Ming was stunned. Four people came from the Film and Television Bureau at once. This battle was a bit scary. If it was for the film tax issue, there was no need for so many people to come, right?
Seeing Shi Huan appear, the leading middle-aged man got up from his seat, walked up to Lu Ming and said with a smile, "Hello, my name is Yun Zhen, and I am the second in command of the Film and Television Administration."

Lu Ming said: "Hello, I am Lu Ming, the chairman of Tianmeng Media."

Speaking of this, Lu Ming hurriedly said to them: "All of you, please sit down."

Lu Ming was a little embarrassed at this time, the reception room usually only met a few people, but this time there were actually ten people, the reception room seemed much smaller all of a sudden.

The space is small, and when there are more people, it becomes more depressing.

After hearing Lu Ming's words, everyone sat down. At this moment, Lu Ming asked, "I don't know what you want from me?"

Yun Zhen smiled and said, "Director Lu, I'll just say it straight, I hope you Tianmeng Media's online movies will also have to pay a 5.00% movie tax."

Hearing this, Lu Ming thought to himself, it really is for the film tax.

He had actually thought about it at the beginning, if their online movies hadn't been produced, no one would ask them to pay taxes, but once their online movies had a box office of several billion, someone would naturally come to them.

Yun Zhen continued at this time: "I don't need to talk to Director Lu about the role of the film tax. After all, Director Lu is also in this industry."

Lu Ming smiled and said, "Of course, I understand what you mean, please rest assured that after one month, we will pay taxes according to the normal settlement process of the box office."

Hearing Lu Ming's words, Yun Zhen smiled. It is easier to talk to smart people.

Today, the Film and Television Administration came to them not to force tax collection, but to discuss with them how to collect tax on online movies.

They have never collected online movie tax. In the past, movie tax was collected directly after the box office was settled, but after the movie was released on the Internet, their box office data did not enter the system of the Film and Television Administration, so it was more difficult to collect taxes. up.

Lu Ming’s words just now contain a lot of information. First of all, he said that the tax will be paid in one month. At this time, he proposed the conditions for paying the tax for online movies, that is, the film box office is settled in advance. It used to be two months, but now it is directly One month in advance, then they will pay less tax.

In fact, they will not pay much less, because online movies are convenient for people to watch movies, so within a month, people have basically watched what they want to watch, and it is also beneficial to pay in advance.

Secondly, Lu Ming just said to pay taxes according to the normal process, which means that Lu Ming plans to connect the box office data to the system of the Film and Television Administration, and then the Film and Television Administration can directly collect taxes, just like before.

Lu Ming glanced at the people in the room, and then said with a smile, "If it's to collect film taxes, there's no need for so many people from the Film and Television Administration, right?"

Hearing this, Yun Zhen looked at the people on Lu Ming's right and said, "They are not in charge of this matter, they have other things to ask you for."

Lu Ming was a little confused, what else?
Is there anything else to do besides paying taxes?
At this time, Yun Zhen continued to say: "Since Director Lu has proposed the tax collection conditions, then the tax payment process for online movies in the future should be based on Director Lu's conditions."

At this point, Yun Zhen changed the subject, and then continued: "However, Director Lu, online movies are just emerging, and we haven't formulated relevant policies. I'm afraid you still have to pay taxes according to the previous two movies. The process has come and gone, and the box office settlement has to be delayed by one month."

Lu Ming didn't want to have too many entanglements with them, so he said directly: "Okay, people who are on Journey and Wandering Earth can follow the previous tax payment process, but I heard that Shiyue Group and Haile Group are actually There are also online movies, and they don’t take the traditional form of selling movie tickets.”

Since they have to pay taxes, everyone must pay taxes, not just their family paying film taxes. Although the big online movies made by the two major groups are all bad movies, this has brought them benefits.

Hearing Lu Ming's words, Yun Zhen said, "Don't worry, Director Lu, my colleague has already gone to their two families."

Having said that, Yun Zhen looked at the people on Lu Ming's right and said, "I've finished my business, let's talk about the film and television festival."

Film Festival?
Lu Ming was a little puzzled, what does the film and television festival have to do with him?

Could it be that he was invited to be a referee or something?

Just when Lu Ming thought so, one of them stood up and said to Lu Ming: "Director Lu, my name is Chen Junji, and I am one of the persons in charge of this film and television festival."

"We checked your profile on the script website and learned that you are the screenwriter Huanming. The judges unanimously decided that the No. 20 Sixth Best Screenplay Award will be awarded to you. I wonder if you will be willing to go on stage to accept the award. "

Lu Ming has a personally authenticated identity on Script.com, and the people who came today are all members of the Film and Television Administration, so they know his true identity and know that he is Huanming.

Lu Ming was not at all surprised that people knew that he was Huanming, but Lu Ming was a little surprised that he was able to win the Best Screenplay Award at the Film and Television Festival.

At this time, Lu Ming smiled and said, "I'm a new screenwriter, so I'm afraid it's not appropriate to win the Best Screenplay Award?"

Chen Junji smiled and said: "Director Lu, you are too modest. Let alone how many excellent scripts you have produced in the past two years, the quality of your scripts is beyond the reach of ordinary screenwriters."

"Although we know that most of these scripts may have been created by you before, but after all, these scripts of yours were made into film and television dramas in the past two years, so you are naturally qualified to win the best screenwriter award this year. "

"And we want you to be a part of this award ceremony."

Huanming, the screenwriter, has always been quite mysterious. People in the film and television industry have long wanted to know what this guy looks like. If people hear that Huanming is going to participate in this film and television festival, there will definitely be many people who have never seen him before this year. Those who are interested in participating in the film and television festival come to join in the fun.

After hearing Chen Junji's words, Lu Ming thought about it. It was indeed time for him to reveal his identity. There was no need to keep hiding it. Recently, more and more people sent him private messages on the script website.

Because he doesn't want to deal with private messages, he doesn't even want to log in to Script.com, but he still has to log in to Script.com to register the copyright of the script before shooting a film and television drama, and when there are too many private messages on Script.com, Script.com will send him directly The text message reminded him to reply those private messages, Lu Ming was already a little annoyed.

That being the case, he simply announced his identity directly. In this way, when people saw that the screenwriter Huanming was actually him, they would definitely give up and come to him again, and he was relieved.

As for whether people believe that he is Huanming, that's none of his business, and the Film and Television Administration has officially certified it, so it's up to others not to believe it.

At this time, Lu Ming said: "Okay, I will go to this film and television festival."

Seeing that Lu Ming agreed, Chen Junji showed a smile, and then he said: "Speaking of which, Director Lu, you are filming and writing scripts at the same time, and now you have to run the company, don't you feel a little overwhelmed?"

In fact, people in the Film and Television Administration somewhat thought that Lu Ming's script was written by someone else, and that Lu Ming just bought someone else's script and registered it himself.

However, Lu Ming's script is too special, and the format of the script is different from the screenwriters in this world. It seems that there is no screenwriter in this world who writes scripts like him, so people can only default that the scripts he registered are all written by him. of.

Moreover, Lu Ming also traded scripts on the script website. He sold "Love Apartment" to Dreamland. Their family is so rich, so he shouldn't be a second-hand dealer in buying and selling scripts.

Although it can only be defaulted that the scripts registered by Lu Ming are all written by Lu Ming, but for the people in the Film and Television Administration, it is indeed a bit strange that Lu Ming can write so many high-quality scripts.

An excellent screenwriter can indeed write many scripts within a year, but it is already very good to be able to come up with one or two excellent scripts, and this kind of creative stuff is very affected by personal status. Ming has come up with so many excellent scripts for two consecutive years. Even if these scripts were written by him in the past, his condition is still very good.

After hearing Chen Junji's question, Lu Ming replied with a smile: "I wrote these scripts a long time ago, I believe you can also see that my script format is different from other screenwriters, that's because I used to I didn’t learn how to write a script, I just wanted to write a script at first, so I wrote it according to my own ideas.”

This……

Hearing Lu Ming's answer, people froze.

What does Lu Ming mean by this is that he didn't learn how to write scripts before he became a screenwriter?

A person without any experience has actually created so many excellent scripts, and he has a very good control of the plot of the story, so his talent is too good, right?
At this time, Lu Ming continued: "I want to make film and television dramas, but I mainly want to film the stories I wrote before. The same is true for starting a company, so there is no question of whether I am busy or not."

Chen Junji said with a smile: "It turned out to be like this. Without the influence of commercialization, the stories created are indeed easier to move people's hearts."

At this time, Yun Zhen stood up and said: "Since Director Lu has already said that he will participate in the 26th Film and Television Festival, then we will not bother."

After hearing Yun Zhen's words, the others also got up from their seats, and then they walked towards the door of the reception room.

Lu Ming immediately said: "I'm really sorry, I thank you for making a special trip, and you go slowly."

Having said that, Lu Ming sent them out the door.

When Lu Ming returned to his office, Liu Mengmeng looked at him with a puzzled expression. Seeing this scene, Lu Ming asked in confusion: "Mengmeng, what is your expression?"

Liu Mengmeng said: "Director Lu, are you really happy?"

Hearing this question, Lu Ming reacted, as if most of the employees in their company didn't know his identity yet.

Lu Ming then replied, "Of course."

After hearing Lu Ming's affirmative answer, Liu Mengmeng was stunned. Lu Ming was actually screaming with joy.

Their boss seems to be able to do it. In addition to writing songs, he now has an additional skill in writing scripts, and his scripts are very popular after they are made into film and television dramas. It can be said that Lu Ming is such a skill. Favorite screenwriter of the decade.

Such almighty people really exist?
Seeing that Liu Mengmeng seemed a little surprised, Lu Ming smiled and said, "Nothing surprising. I'm not a professional screenwriter, and the format of the script I wrote also has problems. It's just good luck that it became popular."

Liu Mengmeng's brain froze, good luck?How lucky to be able to catch so many works in a row?

If only one film and television drama becomes popular, it can be said that he is lucky. Almost all of his works are popular. This can no longer be summed up as good luck. This is where his real strength lies.

Lu Ming returned to his seat, and continued, "Go tell the management of the company and ask them to come to the conference room for a meeting at three o'clock this afternoon. I have something to talk to them about."

Lu Ming's plan to enter overseas has already taken shape, and he intends to start implementing his plan immediately. This matter cannot be delayed. The longer it is delayed, the more unfavorable it will be for him.

After hearing Lu Ming's words, Liu Mengmeng came to her senses, and then she left the office to call the managers.

In the afternoon, when the executives of the company heard that Lu Ming was going to enter the overseas market, they were all shocked. Their company had just established a firm foothold, but Lu Ming actually wanted to develop overseas. Isn’t this too inflated? ?
Although everyone felt that Lu Ming's plan was unreliable, no one said anything in the end. After all, Lu Ming alone had the final say on the company's overall strategy. They still have a relatively traditional company structure, that is, The chairman has all the powers, and the employees of the company are only responsible for implementing the development plan of the chairman.

Such a company structure is definitely unhealthy, but they are currently facing many problems, and they can only unify their power. After they get out of the current predicament, Lu Ming will have to release a lot of power, otherwise the company will not be able to grow bigger, and He can't handle so much alone.
