Chapter 449 Box office tricks and strong tax avoidance

Films that cooperated with the five major Hollywood studios, including "Independence Day" with Universal, "Tornado" with Paramount, "New York Robbery" with Columbia Pictures, and "The Supreme Crisis" with MGM. In the end, it naturally made William Campbell take the lead today. The distribution rights of the Apprentice and the Impossible series, and the Very Suspect in cooperation with 21st Century Fox.

It's not that the film "Very Suspect" is not good, but it only earned 150 million US dollars at the box office, which is the bottom of the films that everyone cooperates with. Especially when you see that the box office of Universal's "Independence Day" is 830 million US dollars, it is difficult for you to calm down with William Campbell.

The total box office of these five films is 2.20 million US dollars. Jinchen Group is a producer, and the investment proportion of the film is 75%. If calculated according to the box office ratio, it is only 37.5%.

However, this is not a pure profit. It also needs to remove the investment, tax rate and other expenses of the film. In the end, it will definitely not exceed 25%. It is already a super good deal, and the low price may even be less than 10%.

This is not alarmist. One of the reasons is that the higher the box office, the lower the proportion of investment, etc., so the profit is high, and vice versa. This is also the reason why high box office films are coveted by everyone, because that is called making money.

Because of this, there is a phenomenon that famous directors and big brands ask for high pay, because they are the guarantee of high box office. If you want to make money, you have to be willing to bleed. Of course, there are also Waterloo, and this can better understand why Chen Jin is so awesome, because he has not had Waterloo in so many scripts in a year. .

The last part is completely self-invested. However, the distribution fee is as high as 50%, and it is also necessary to exclude the production cost and so on. It will not exceed 35%. However, four of these six films are super box office, so on average, it can be about 30%. About three profits, and this is already a big surprise.

These three parts are calculated together, which is about 1.150 billion US dollars. Looking at the scenery outside, the box office of almost 5 billion US dollars can reach less than a quarter of it.

This is already the US dollars that can be earned by super-selling movies, but in the end it is only a little, but this is the principle of interest division in the interest chain, and no one can get it all.

Of course, this is just about the profit after the public release. After the public release, the benefits of selling DVDs, TV broadcasts and other copyrights are about a quarter of the box office. Selling films such as Independence Day are more likely to exceed one-third of the benefits, which is also the biggest source of interest for the producer.

With such a rich benefit, it is naturally impossible for Jinchen Group to give up. Whether it is a movie that completely gives the box office to others, or a movie that cooperates with the five major studios to invest, all the copyrights are in the hands of Jinchen Group. This is also the rule of this industry. First of all, it catches the side of the script, regardless of the invitation. How many people to invest and the proportion of their own investment must firmly grasp the copyright in their hands. It is impossible to make concessions, unless the script itself is shared by both parties.

It's just 15 movies. In fact, Chen Zichen is more like showing off Chen Jin's credit, which makes her happier than her own achievements. The woman who loves you will dedicate everything to you.

A lot of things have been counted, just a final summary. Chen Zichen spent less than ten minutes sitting in Chen Jin's arms with joy, pinched his face, and had his daughter's mischiety. "Guess, how much money did we make in the movie last year?"

"Little money fan!" Chen Jin deliberately teased her, "If you really want money, my husband will make a lot of money for you and let you buy the whole Hong Kong island,"

Chen Zichen curled her lips and said, "Bragging!" But he immediately woke up and beat him, "Don't turn away. I'm telling you something serious now!" He gritted his teeth and wrinkled his nose. "If you don't guess correctly, you are not allowed to eat tonight."

Not being allowed to eat is the latest punishment method invented by the young lady, but it's really useful. The playboy is a big rice bucket. He will be in a panic for a while. Although he hasn't really been hungry for a time, it's just that Chen Zichen loves him.

"About 1 1.5 billion!" Chen Jin also wanted to make her happy, so she said a number according to the previous estimate. Chen Zichen nodded excitedly, but shook her head again. "Although it's almost there, it's still a lot less," as if she was afraid that people would hear it. She quietly whispered in his ear and whispered, "It's almost 1.5 billion US dollars, a total of ten. 4,92 billion US dollars."

This time, Chen Jin was also shocked. He sat down with her body in his arms and frowned, "Where did it come from? There shouldn't be so many!" Chen Zichen shook her body proudly and said, "I won't tell you, who told you to bully me all the time!"

Chen Jin was really confused. He smiled and put his hand into her skirt with an evil face, "Baby, how can I bully you? Is it like this? Otherwise, I will bully you now."

"Damn it, can't you make people proud?" Chen Zichen clamped her legs and bit him on the neck. "Just bite you to death. Let's see how you bully me." Pull out his hand and sit down. "Do you know why I just said that you guessed almost? That's based on the box office results we announced to the outside world. Our profit is 11.80 billion US dollars, and the difference from what you said is only 30 million. It's really about the same."

His fingers rubbed his jade-like face, and there was no flaw on it. It was really perfect and enviable. He said slowly, "You know that the box office is tricky."

Looking at Chen Jin nodded, Chen Zichen gritted her teeth, as if she was very unhappy. "I just know now that it turned out to be very miserable. Fortunately, we have Zhang Xiao helping," stared into Chen Jin's eyes. "Do you know how we got the extra 300 million dollars?"

Chen Jin probably guessed it, but he still shook his head. Chen Zichen said, "This box office is too fierce, especially these big manufacturers, who quietly united with the cinemas to falsely report the amount to avoid taxes. Take our "Independence Day" as an example, in fact, the box office has already exceeded 900 million. Of course, their Jurassic Park is said to be as high as $1 billion.

Chen Zichen probably became more and more annoyed. She snorted, "I have known this thing for a long time, but I didn't expect it to be so powerful. The four films we sent in 1923 were worth 100 million US dollars for Edward's old thief in the world. Fortunately, he still has the face to follow us. It's good."

"It's really fortunate that Zhang Xiao was helping us take care of the company as soon as it opened last year. He knew everything. What he got was the most detailed cinema box office. If it weren't for him, it would have been a global release. You really couldn't even think of it. It's really infuriating."

Chen Jin patted her on the cheek and said with a smile, "Don't worry, let them take a little advantage for the time being, and let them spit it out together at that time," Chen Zichen pouted, "If you don't know, forget it. You know the natural spirit!"

Chen Jin nodded, "This is the reason why they dominate and occupy the position of landlords. We have to work hard to become landlords now," she opened her mind. It's good to know some things. If you know them, you can deal with them if you know them. You don't have to pay attention to them. "Listen to what you mean, we have something special in addition to this. The number of ways to make money.

"Of course!" Chen Zichen finally got complacent again, "Let me tell you, in the United States, if rich people don't evade taxes, they are really stupid. They won't think you're a good person, they will only think you're a nerd."

"Do you know why lawyers, doctors and accountants in the United States are the most respected and best-paid professions, because they all serve the rich. Lawyers help the rich make everything illegal and legal. Doctors protect the lives of the rich, while accountants make the rich earn more. When it's money, pay less tax, that is, to save money.

Chen Jin smiled softly and pinched her slender waist, which made her giggle. "You are not afraid of being caught by others. If you are such a beautiful woman, if you are caught by others, it will be a shame."

Chen Zichen beat him, "I hate it, it's itchy!" He pouted again and snorted, "Idiot, do you know how powerful the Federation of Certified Public Accountants is? Do you know that even the current and former presidents are their customers, that is to say, they are shameful so-called "reasonable tax avoiders"."

"Also, do you know that large families such as Rockefeller, Morgan and Roosevelt have their own specialized accounting firms and control the legitimate transactions of many of the so-called "tax havens" in the United States?"

Although it's the first time I've heard it, it's normal to think about it. If you want to say that this human nature is always driven by interests, Chen Jin shook his head helplessly, "How do you know this? It seems that you know a lot. I haven've never heard of it before."

"You haven't heard of it before. You always know that the company will do bad things quietly!" Chen Zichen pinched his face with hatred, "You are lazy. You always don't pay attention to these things!"

Looking at Chen Jin with a bitter face with a giggle, he hummed and said, "You know that my relationship with Vera Roosevelt is very good now. I just heard it from her, and the women who attended her family gathering are chattering one by one, but there are many secrets that I don't know outside."

curled his lips again, "We are now a big customer of the Roosevelt family's accounting firm. Last year, we sent them tens of millions of dollars and donated millions to Vera Roosevelt for political aid. In the eyes of others, although our family business is small, we are generous. The wrongdoer is still very popular.

Chen Jin laughed and said, "Then let others cheat, and let them cheat!" Chen Zichen stared at him, understood, and giggled, "If one of them cheats us, we will cheat ten of them. Let's see who cheats at the bottom
