Chapter 407 405. How many and how many
"..."
Walking out of Cai Yinong's office, Li Minnian's eyes fell on the pot of green plants beside the corridor, feeling that the gladioli green was a bit dazzling for no reason.
Snow storage for half a year.
This is... as Liu Zhishi's punishment for not accepting this advertisement.
In fact, logically speaking, this punishment is nothing at first glance.
This year’s Spring Festival begins in February 2010, the 13th is New Year’s Eve, and the 14th is the Spring Festival. And according to the most general calculation, after the 15-day solar term is over, it will be March.
And "Pandaren" started shooting one after another after the New Year's Day in January, followed by the Chinese New Year, and continued shooting after the Chinese New Year was over.
The current shooting cycle is about 50 days in total.
Counting down from year to year, maybe Shishi is busy, and it will be May.
The so-called half-year punishment is until July.
It’s nothing more than two months without work.
But the reality is quite the opposite.
The activity cycle and activity plan of an artist is quite... How should I put it, it is not precise, but it must be operated efficiently.
The connection of each job cannot be said to be seamless, but at least it must be guaranteed that there will be no interruption.
Launch a film and television drama this month, participate in some program next month, and shoot some magazine in a few days. It is the best solution to always keep the artist active in the eyes of some people, a little bit of familiarity.
After all, not everyone has the qualifications to be remembered from the beginning of their debut...
Speaking of this, he thought of Lin Xunxin for no reason.
This young man is really lucky...From his humble beginnings, a "brother who can't do it" from netizens gave him the capital to be remembered...
And Shishi has been remembered from her debut...or the only one remembered at present is only one nightshade.
Comparing the two of them, it's really like the sky and the earth.
After getting the lead role in "Pandaren", it was very easy for her to break out of the company's film and television works and start gaining fan recognition in other aspects... As a result, Mr. Cai actually made her stop working for half a year.
Isn’t this nonsense!
"Pandaren" Regardless of the quality of the series, Jay Chou's fans are real!
At this juncture, stop Shishi from working for half a year?
Doesn't that mean the filming of this movie was for nothing?
Originally, it was working well, but at that time, Shishi can completely stir up the popularity and use the pandaren as a springboard to attract more traffic to her!
But now the work is stopped, and the resources are out of stock... What should I do in the future!
Thinking of this, Li Minnian couldn't help but sigh.
Eyes full of sadness.
In fact, he was also to blame for this.
Because he told Shishi about "Fantasy Zhu Xian".
Otherwise, that girl who doesn't like to argue with others wouldn't think so much at all.
The reason why he told Shishi was actually to sell Xu Xin and Yang Mi as a good couple.
In his imagination, Yang Mi may not look down on these millions, but "Sword and Sword III" itself is one of her own cakes, and now it is only natural to come here to offer her mouth.
And when the cake got into her mouth, leaving a mouthful of sweetness, she also had to think about how the cake got in.
With this passion, and the relationship between Shishi and her, if Director Xu has any dramas, he will also think about Shishi more.
With such a little bit, isn’t the market for poetry opened?
The hotter Shishi became, the more money he made himself.
Although Cai is always Shishi’s number one agent in name, in fact, from her debut to the present, she has taken care of everything by herself.
Who wouldn't wish that he could bring in a few more popular artists and make himself famous in the agent circle?
Or in other words, who wouldn't want to be the second Jinghua Wang?
Now he is under the command of the Tang people, and his income is nothing more than three to four hundred thousand a year.
But if it is done well, it will be one or two million, or even several million dollars!
Who doesn't think more about themselves?
So, he told Shishi the news, and Shishi told Yang Mi...But after all the calculations, he didn't calculate the result in the end.
For a while, the bitterness in his mouth became even worse.
And he also understands Mr. Cai's thoughts very well.
Regardless of whether the quality of the episodes of "Pandaren" is successful or not, Shishi's attention will definitely rise to a higher level.
When the time comes when a lot of jobs are found, she is in the stage of being hidden, and she feels the loss of being short of fame, and her spirit is suppressed, so she will be obedient...
But the problem is...
You only signed a 5-year contract!
It’s not a ten-year contract.
Pinch it however you want.
This girl... is a stubborn one!
If she really has such a strong sense of professionalism, why wait until now? Why not accept this ad?
If Zhenxue hides for half a year, she can't wait to go home and sleep every day.
By the way, I can also do myopia surgery...
Thinking of this...
"well…"
He let out another long sigh.
Thoughtful…
Forget it, let's not talk to Shishi about this.
Let her honestly shoot "Pandaren".
Wait until the filming of "Pandaren" is finished before talking about other things.
…
"Sister Bingbing~~"
At the gate of Shijia Hutong, Yang Mi looked at Liang Bingning who got out of the car, suppressed the feeling of...uncomfortable guilt in her heart, and yelled sweetly.
"Hey."
Liang Bingning responded with a smile, and gave instructions to Yang Tianzhen at the side:
"Bring everything in."
"Okay, sister."
Then, Liang Bingning took Yang Mi's arm affectionately:
"Hurry up and get in the house, it's so cold outside, what should you do if you catch a cold~"
"Well…"
For no reason, Yang Mi's goosebumps began to pop out.
Actually, it was fine before.
She is quite normal.
But ever since... the couple figured out something, she felt guilty when she saw Liang Bingning... It was not right, not because she felt guilty when she saw the other party, but because she felt guilty every time she said "Sister Bingbing".
It's so imaginary.
As if taking advantage of others.
But she didn't show it. After the two entered the room together, Liang Bingning took off the fleece cap on her head and looked at the two children who were struggling to move their legs on the climbing mat...
"Ah, is this starting to turn around?"
"I'm practicing now. Didn't you look at the back of your head and got a piece of bald hair? I've been chaotic in the past few days, and I guess I'm about to learn it."
"That's great~"
Liang Bingning's eyes were full of joy.
Sitting on the climbing mat, ignoring the two dogs, and pinching Nuannuan's little feet, he asked:
"Where's Xu Xin?"
"I'm sleeping in the house. I went to Brother Qian'er to play at noon and drank some wine. I guess it's late at night. I called him just now, and asked who was coming. I said that after my sister came, He waved his hands and fell asleep again."
Handed the teacup to Liang Bingning, and Yang Mi also sat on the climbing mat and explained.
Hearing this, the smile on Liang Bingning's face became more natural.
Under normal circumstances, when guests come to the house, both the master and the hostess must come to greet them.
But that means the guest is just a "guest".
But what Yang Mi said was just like the relationship between relatives and friends at home.
Don’t treat yourself as a guest when you come.
This attitude is obviously much more comfortable for Liang Bingning than treating herself as a guest.
Then, Yang Tianzhen walked in, also holding big and small bags:
"Sister Mi, the collagen supplement that sister bought for you..."
"Hey, okay, put it over there. I won't serve you, just be more casual."
Hearing this, Yang Tianzhen responded with a smile, put all the things on the table, and sat aside silently.
And Liang Bingning said:
"Have you read all the news?"
"Look."
Yang Mi nodded:
"But I think it's pretty quiet today. Isn't there nothing going on with Zhang Ziyi? Both sides are suppressing influence and downplaying influence."
"Um."
Liang Bingning responded and said:
"But this matter should not be over yet..."
"It's definitely not over. Zhang Ziyi has reached the edge of the cliff. Whether she spit out what she ate, or what... She has to explain. But we can't get to know this kind of thing in depth, it seems special I like to inquire... What are your thoughts, sister?"
"I don't!"
As soon as Yang Mi said these words, Liang Bingning shook her head like a rattle.
The reaction can be said to be great.
"I don't have..."
Speaking of this, she paused...
Rarely, in front of Yang Mi, she showed a little fragile taste:
"To tell you the truth... when I saw the news last night, I was really scared to death."
One sentence is full of joy.
After sleeping for nearly a day, the first thing she did when she woke up was the woman who came to Xu's house, as if she had just come back to life at this moment. Fortunately, there was still a disturbing panic.
Facing these words, Yang Mi smiled and shook her head:
"No need to..."
As she spoke, her tone was full of hidden pauses.
If not smellable.
followed by a sentence:
"Xu Xin loves you so much... That afternoon, we were at Aunt Zhao's place. I mentioned Zhang Ziyi twice, and after seeing Aunt Zhao's attitude, as soon as you called, Xu Xin told me, "No matter what So, you have to pull Sister Bingbing out. Others can't protect you, he will come!... Sister, you can rest assured, if something happens, we will be there!"
"..."
After Yang Mi said this, Liang Bingning's lips pursed.
Then…
Her shoulders collapsed.
Sitting on the climbing mat, leaning against the sofa, she didn't know how to answer Yang Mi's...too warm concern.
My heart was moved again, and there was a strange burning...
There is also a kind of shame in the heat.
Unconsciously, her hand touched Zaizai who was lying next to her and watching TV.
She touched the position of the dog's leg.
Zaizai turned his head subconsciously.
Somewhat unhappy.
This place is close to the belly, except for the family members who can trust it, the animal doesn't like to be touched.
As soon as he turned his head, it felt the eyes of the hostess.
The eyes have a meaning:
"Don't move, let her touch!"
"..."
The humane German Shepherd grunted and lay down again.
That's all.
Touch it.
Anyway, you are worse than me.
"Hoo..."
Touching the furry warmth, Liang Bingning spat out the last trace of coolness in her mouth.
smiled wryly:
"Mimi...it's too difficult."
"...?"
Under Yang Mi's puzzled eyes, the woman who can almost be said to have set off a new model in the entertainment industry shakes her head full of fragility, expressing her helplessness:
"I used to work for others... people said that I was the life of a maid all my life. I refused to accept it, and I wanted to be my own boss. But after I became my own boss, I realized... I really have to be careful every step of the way. Shen...just like this time. Once you have an inflated thought that you shouldn't have...really...that kind of...the cold feeling that the knife is on the neck...ah."
"...it's all like this."
Although what Liang Bingning said was a bit messy, Yang Mi understood what she meant:
"Sister, how old are you? Everyone is bad now, and no matter how hard you try, you can't prevent it. So the more you become a boss, the more you have to be cautious. If I hadn't been helped by Xu Xin... I might have been here long ago." You can't get mixed up in the circle."
"Don't. I'm stupid... Hehe."
"…ha."
Looking at her eccentric appearance, Liang Bingning chuckled, and at the same time, her heart was full of emotion.
Because she didn't tell a lie.
Mimi is indeed much smarter than herself.
This is the conclusion she reached after the nearly two-hour phone call with Mr. Xu last night.
According to Mr. Xu, his daughter-in-law... really found it only after the old Xu family's ancestral grave smoked.
Zhishu Dali didn’t mention anything.
The most important thing is the kind of wit...according to President Xu's words, it is "exactly the same as when I was young".
Allowing Mr. Xu to say this sentence itself represents her ability.
Not to mention the phrase "there's not much I can teach her in the past two years".
Famous teachers produce outstanding apprentices...
It's really not simple.
With emotion, she thought about it, chose to cross this topic, turned her head and said:
"That's right. I finished reading the book you recommended to me."
"Is it "Zhen Huan"?"
"Yes, I've finished watching all of them... Do you want to play Zhen Huan in this play?"
"No acting."
Yang Mi shook her head:
"The cycle of TV dramas is too long. I may mainly make movies in the future. It takes three to five months for TV dramas, which is too long."
"Then who do you want to push for this role?"
"have no idea."
Yang Mi still shook her head:
"I've talked with director Zheng about this novel, and he won't interfere too much with his casting. He was afraid that I would throw a bunch of actors indiscriminately, so I agreed to him. Whoever he wants to choose, we all discuss it. "
"The words of Zheng Xiaolong..."
Liang Bingning thought for a while and said:
"Let's put it this way, I want to play Zhen Huan."
"Well…"
Yang Mi was stunned.
"Play Zhen Huan?"
Liang Bingning nodded:
"Yes. Of course, I will do this job. I have also dealt with Director Zheng, and we both have mutual friends. At first I thought you were going to act... If you want to act, then I will honestly give it to you Matching..."
"..."
As soon as this attitude was shown, Yang Mi was a little speechless.
It's not that the other party is courteous.
But the heart is even more empty.
I said in my heart that it is not certain which of us will be "big" and who will be young.
How dare I...
But Liang Bingning didn't know what was going on in her heart, so she continued:
"But if you don't want to act... the quality of this book is good, really. Director Zheng can seem normal~ If you don't recommend a heroine, or if you want to play it yourself, then I will fight with Director Zheng. How about it?"
"I have no opinion..."
Yang Mi really has no idea about the drama "The Legend of Zhen Huan".
Looking at the people in the company, Liu Yifei is the only person who can say that he can hold the heroine.
But the problem is that Liu Yifei has already decided to play Hawthorn.
Schedules must be inseparable.
I don't plan to act... She has already planned to take her children back to her hometown in northern Shaanxi for a while next year.
The first thing for the children is to receive the "earth energy", and the second is to quickly shoot "Burst".
This play...is my husband's hard work.
Not to mention a few months, even a year or two, she felt it was worth it.
Since Sister Bingbing wants to act right now, let's act.
"What are you going to say to Director Zheng? He asked me to contact you mainly because he thinks you are suitable for Concubine Hua..."
"We have a good chat. We are familiar with people like him and Zhao Baogang. He said that his choice of actors is based on acting skills rather than eye contact. I am quite confident~"
"Sister Bingbing is too good~"
"Haha~"
While the two were talking and laughing, suddenly, the bedroom door of the guest room was opened.
Xu Xin walked out with two swollen eyes.
After seeing the two of them, they greeted each other casually:
"morning."
"Why did you wake up?"
Hearing what Yang Mi said, Xu Xin went to the tea stand to get some water and said:
"Sister Bingbing is here, I can't sleep all the time... Ouch, it's really uncomfortable."
Talking, looking up ton ton ton~
After drinking thoroughly, she staggered and sat on the sofa:
"what's the topic?"
"Talking about "The Legend of Zhen Huan"."
"Oh~"
Xu Xin yawned casually, and said:
"Ha... Well, has Director Zheng invested in that drama yet?"
Yang Mi nodded:
"It came out, and the estimated budget is 70 million to 85 million."
"...?"
The moment she heard this number, Liang Bingning was taken aback:
"so tall?"
Yang Mi responded:
"Well, the script of this drama has been roughly divided, and it has reached 60 episodes. Isn't this being subdivided, and it is estimated to be at least 70 to 80 episodes. The main cost is in serving the Tao. Director Zheng likes to dig into the details... before We had a phone call a few days ago, and he said it would be about this price..."
"With an investment close to 100 million yuan, to make a TV series..."
Liang Bingning frowned.
"Is the risk too high?"
"She likes it."
Xu Xin said something casually.
Show the true qualities of a doting wife.
My daughter-in-law likes it, and the stars in the sky are all taken off.
Seeing this, Liang Bingning couldn't say anything.
but…
"Then this scene has to be handled well."
"What operation?"
"Tax avoidance."
Seeing that Xu Xin didn't seem to understand, Liang Bingning said:
"Use some means to avoid tax. Otherwise, it would be good if the investment of 70 million yuan can achieve 50 million yuan~... Don't you know?"
"?"
Xu Xin was stunned for a moment, and asked in bewilderment:
"What do you mean? How to avoid it?"
"..."
Seeing his reaction, Liang Bingning was speechless:
"You don't even know about this?"
"Well…"
Before Xu Xin could speak, Yang Mi spoke first:
"Sister Bingbing, are you talking about the kind of person who prepares two contracts? The tax on the account is, say, one million, and then I owe another contract in private. For example, my total film salary is 10 million, but the tax return contract is only One million, and the rest of the money goes to private accounts..."
"Yes. That's it. In this way, if you go to talk to others, the salary of others can be reduced. After all, tax points must be considered."
"..."
Suddenly, Xu Xin frowned.
"Isn't this legal?"
Liang Bingning nodded:
"It can't be said that it is illegal, it can only be said that it is a legal gap. Many people do this, otherwise you think about it... If you don't say anything else, just say Zhang Ziyi. Her revenue last year should be 1600 yuan for film and television. More than ten thousand, this is on the surface. If the 16 million plus film remuneration is taxed, the tax will be more than five million. It accounts for one-third of the total income at once..."
"But according to this method, she will get a lot more?"
"Yes, of course, I didn't say she did this... I never said that. I just gave an example, and many people come like this..."
"no!"
Before Liang Bingning finished speaking, Xu Xin directly denied this approach:
"It's so stupid. It's so stupid to walk around the gray area for this little money and get all your wealth and life into it."
"Uh... no, it's nothing... This is almost an unspoken rule, after all, the tax point is too high..."
"Sister Bing Bing."
Seeing what she wanted to say, Xu Xin shook his head vigorously:
"Have you thought about it, in case, one day..."
He pointed to it:
"I feel that it is not allowed, and I suddenly want to catch a model, but this model is caught on you, what will you do?"
"...?"
Liang Bingning was taken aback.
"...why did you catch me?"
"Because your chicken is big enough for monkeys to see."
After all, it was just chatting, so Xu Xin spoke more casually:
"Anyway, if I, for example, want to start to rectify this aspect of things, I will definitely start by grabbing the top artists.
Set up a model, let everyone see the end, and then be obedient and honest.
Of course, what I said may be a little one-sided, but the general reason is not wrong. Paper can never be enough to cover fire... and if you earn a lot of money, it is actually just a number in the end. I don't think it's worth putting my life on for this string of numbers.
So...Although I have figured out how to play the things you mentioned, but I think...it is understandable for a young actor to do this, because he wants to save more money. With a herd mentality, maybe this knife will not reach their heads.
But the big tree attracts the wind, the more people in front, the more cautious their words and deeds... After all, things in this circle are like eating snakes. When a giant dies suddenly, what it leaves behind can feed many people. At that time, everyone wants you to die, but you really can't live. "
Looking at Liang Bingning who was frowning tightly, Xu Xin shook his head:
"Actually, it's the same as those Xiangjiang movies we watched. You will find that there is only one way behind the leading brother in all the movies, and that is to desperately clean himself. No whitewash... Then when the enemy came to the door, all the hard work would be in vain. Born in the Jianghu, died in the Jianghu.
Anyway, these things are very stupid for me. Not to mention paying 5 million taxes for 16 million. It is 160 million to pay 50 million in taxes, and I still have 100 million, right? I can't afford to risk my own life because of this little money.
I won't ask you how to do it... But as a younger brother, I want to persuade Sister Bingbing, don't take chances...it's unrealistic. Just imagine, in front of your current position, how many people are waiting for you to surpass, and how many people behind you want you to die. "
After using the measurement units of "several" and "how much" to say an extremely cold fact, Xu Xin's words have successfully caused a real chill to appear on Liang Bingning's body.
In the bone-chilling cold, Xu Xin asked:
"I don't want to mention how sharp a spear I have to make myself if I want to go forward...Facing these people behind, if I don't make myself an indestructible diamond, I must die a miserable death. Isn't it?"
Although Xu Xin hadn't thought about why such a topic suddenly came up.
But since the conversation has reached this point, he doesn't mind saying a few more words.
The tax issue...has always been a high-risk line for him.
No way, the coal kilns in my hometown produce black gold.
The truth that everyone is innocent but pregnant with guilt, he has understood from his father since he was very young.
And the more people in the old Xu family earn, the more the three of you can feel that the foundation of your feet is more important than the accumulation of wealth.
Shoes have to fit your feet so that you can wear them comfortably and walk far.
Don't let a mouse **** ruin a pot of soup.
Compared to others, he doesn't need to say so much.
Who lives and who dies is their own destiny.
You have a problem with your thinking and you collapse in a certain place, which means that you are not capable, and no one else is to blame.
But the woman in front of me...
no the same.
Or, at least after that night two days ago, it was different.
In the past, I might still not care about it.
Can now...
No matter what.
He is also afraid...
It’s not because she’s afraid that she’ll know the law and break the law, but because she and the old man are now disconnected or… sneak into the village, don’t shoot…
Then the goldlion in the old man's hand...
It's really not humane.
