National Association of Journalists? As the deputy "chairman", Yang Can raised his eyebrows "hair" and settled down.
After thinking about some information about this organization, the China Journalist Association has more than 200 members of the national "sex" news media, the local journalist association, the professional journalist association, and the research organization, although it is not a party committee in name. Organization, but in fact it is not too far from the general "government" functional departments.
The subordinate news training center and the agency service center have huge powers to control the trend of domestic public opinion.
What is the equivalent of a deputy "chairman"? The highest authority of the Chinese Journalists Association is the National Council. The board is elected by its 200 fellow organizations to elect the Standing Council, and then the "Chairman" and Vice "Chairman" of the Chinese Journalists Association are elected in the Standing Council. *C***, wait, Yang Can is one of the five deputy "chairmen", it is difficult to say whether he has real power in his hands.
Yang Can is a little bit "touching" Wu Bin's meaning, why on earth would he put himself in this position? Tentatively humbly said:
"Old Wu, don't make jokes with me. I'm just how old I am. I have a lot of ability and weight in this industry. How can I hold such an important position? I haven't dealt with and coordinated the various departments. experience of.."
"Haha." Wu Bin smiled slightly, shaking his head and said:
"Speaking of speaking, you just want to ask if you have real power, don't you? Don't worry, this is not what I meant this time. It was the instruction of Premier Xue. Don't be too humble. How capable you are. We are not blind. , I can see that the leaders of the Association of Records are not fools. In the two years of reorganization in your province, the results are here. You have handled the three terms of the political, commercial and police quite properly. They actually wanted you to participate in the standing director. Yes, let you pass on your experience. This vice "chairman" position is actually very simple. It is for the coordination and communication of domestic and foreign institutions..."
Yang Can "touched" and "touched" his face strangely: "Coordinating and communicating.. Just like this, how to talk to those people drunk, then it would be better to ask Xue Qiyuan to go, she looks good, and she is a woman..."
Secretary Xiao Wang, who was standing next to him, listened, her mouth twitching constantly, but she wanted to laugh but could only hold back her desperately. There are really few people in this world who dare to take the prime minister’s granddaughter in front of Wu Lao. This Yang Can is really brave. small.
"It is not the communication with external agencies, but the person who really does the real thing. You are responsible for communicating with the mainland reporters from the mainland, Taiwan, and overseas countries. You are responsible to the Chinese reporters. Of course, this will also bring you a lot of convenience. For example, in the United States, you can have the right to report directly, instead of asking for the opinions of the Journalist Association. The intermediate process can be omitted.. It will not delay you too much time. You only need to hold a regular meeting every year and then attend some external parties. Activities are fine, and it can be based on your personal wishes."
Wu Bin probably explained what Yang Can should do, and it made Yang Can feel that it was extremely cost-effective. He could get some special interview rights without paying anything, such as the White House abroad, the Kremlin, and his reporters now apply for an interview card. Almost none of them can be passed. With this identity, it is just one sentence from him.
"But you, the vice chairman, still have to do something. Russia and Taiwan may need you to deal with it." Wu Bin probably explained the matter, and Yang Can agreed after thinking about it. It can be regarded as the unexpected joy he got after making the movie, so his identity may have another title.
Before leaving, Yang Can was very curious about how Wu Bin allowed the old stubborn *** of the Association of Records to pass. He, a junior who has just arrived, holds such an important position as the vice chairman. Wu Bin just said that he would arrange everything.
At the same time as "Fengshen Bang" was killing the Quartet, Yang Xiuya and Mai Weijian participated in touring exhibitions in major cities in China. When they went to Hong Kong, they also met Lin Baixin's warm hospitality. Yang Can encountered a headache. He has almost been stared to death by the media and he has no personal space at all.
And Yang Xiuya, Xiaohuadan, is also constantly causing trouble. Recently, she has suffered a "problem", that is, her habit of dressing up and going to the movie theater to watch "Feng Shen Bang". Every time she goes in, she will be in the last position, watching those The expressions of the audience were just giggling, and it was a joy, which made the few small agents who followed her fearful.
Finally, once in a small movie theater in Shanghai, Yang Xiuya smiled so happily that she dropped her wig, and she was immediately recognized by a diehard fan next to her, and she screamed: "Yang Xiuya~!?" The movie theater was boiling, and the movie was halfway through. When it became Yang Xiuya's fan meeting, hundreds of people flocked to her and blocked her from letting her go.
In the end, the theater was almost surrounded by people. Later, if the person in charge of the theater directly hit 110 and asked the police to clear the way for Yang Xiuya, she estimated that she would be more than just being blocked in the afternoon.
The result of the matter was that Yang Yan, who had been promoted to the director of the personnel department, cut off the agents who followed Yang Xiuya in a fit of anger. Before re-recruiting new agents, she herself went into battle and resumed her old career.
During this period of time, Yang Can also received some news about Tianying Company. Because the domestic box office of "The Hobbit" was far less than expected, Tianying Company’s investment has already been determined to lose money. Poor Song Jie was rejected by Xu Yinyin. He was hospitalized with high blood pressure. Song Yingxu temporarily took over Tianying. This once-popular film and television investment company is now in desperation.
Both the industry and bank loan professionals understand Song Yingxu’s temperament, and no one is willing to lend a helping hand. Originally, Song Jie also wanted to work with the president of a multinational investment company. A marriage can save Tianying from the crisis, but when the other party who had already reached a preliminary intention learned about the current situation of Tianying, he resolutely revoked this decision.
This time, it was really true that Song Yingxu learned what it is like to be pushed by everyone. If nothing happens, Tianying will declare bankruptcy and seek other parties to take over.
After receiving the news, Zheng Chucheng immediately contacted Yang Can. The two came to the Xudong Racecourse and enjoyed riding on the grassland for an afternoon. In the afternoon, they had an in-depth conversation about the future development of the top group.
"I think this is a very good opportunity." Zheng Chucheng was very excited when he patted the news that Tianying was on the verge of bankruptcy in the magazine.
Yang Can also saw his intentions and smiled: "Why, Uncle Zheng, are you interested in acquiring Tianying Company?"
"En." Zheng Chucheng smiled and explained: "It's not because you transferred some of Nanchu's TV production personnel to the United States, so that our Nanchu TV self-made drama has recently experienced a fault, without Yang Xiuya, Lu Zibo, and Han Ting. Just relying on those Li Xiaoli alone, can't support the big scene of our TV station, Yan Shangxi can't always go back to China to help, we urgently need some fresh blood "liquid"."
Regarding Yang Can's shift of the market's focus to the United States, Zheng Chucheng was quite critical. Yang Can really wanted to pick up watermelons and throw away sesame seeds. He drew a group of elites from the Southern Chu Television Department. Now they only rely on Hong Kong Yin Tianzhao. There are just some resources for filming Hong Kong dramas.
Although Tianying Company has been fragmented, it still has a group of people under its umbrella. These TV supporting actors and technical "sex" talents are indeed what Zheng Chucheng needs most.
Yang Can nodded. Now his funds are unprecedentedly abundant. It is really easy to absorb a group of talents. Tianying's group of people should be able to buy it with 20 million yuan. This is for Nan Chu Satellite TV is definitely a good deal.
"Then trouble Zheng Uncle to deal with it." Yang Canen said, and said: "But Uncle Zheng, you must remember that you can't talk in the name of any company under our top group. Let Yiyi register a name in the United States. For the new company, you find some freshmen to negotiate with Song Yingxu."
***
In the fifth week of "Feng Shen Bang" screening, with a box office of 31.45 million, he continued to rank second in the North American weekly box office. This is the fourth consecutive week that he has sat in this ranking. In the sixth week, with the end of the top propaganda company, the film The box office of "Feng Shen Bang" has only won 15.42 million in the box office that week, and its ranking has also dropped to fourth place.
In the Mainland, the "Fengshen Bang" craze has also faded. According to this percentage of the box office decline, the potential of "Fengshen Bang" in North America and the Mainland is almost exhausted. With the gradual increase in the number of theaters. , When it is released across the board in North America, it is not bad that he can collect another 10 million yuan in box office.
But there is no doubt that this movie is already a miracle in the history of Chinese movies. With a box office of nearly 200 million dollars in North America, it surpassed "Hero" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and broke the record of accumulating box office for Chinese-language movies within two months of being released. .
Top American companies are already preparing for European release, because there are European and Asian film fans on the Internet expressing their curiosity about this film. This new theme must be quite relevant in these places. Although the market prospects are not necessarily as hot as the Chinese market and North America, it is not difficult to collect tens of millions in box office.
This film company from China has let all its American counterparts and almost all market analysts fall through their glasses. Although Hollywood has always been a place full of miracles, a film from mainland China is so fascinating in the mainstream market. Many experts who look down on Asian filmmakers have broken their traditional ideas.
Amc, the company that accidentally picked up the treasure, also made others jealous. Many people in charge of the publishing company are thinking about it. If they had obtained the right to distribute the "Feng Shen Bang", I am afraid that they are already lying ** Count the money.
Naturally, there are also many critics in the United States who have pointed the finger at the top companies, and they frequently broadcast on TV:
"Although this movie is a commercial movie, some of the things in it are not simple. Many bridges imply something. The Shang Dynasty refers to the current United States, and the State of Zhou may be a metaphor for the rise of China. This is not just a metaphor for the rise of China. It's a simple movie, and it's also a kind of "naked" and "naked" cultural aggression. That kind of Eastern pedantic thinking invades the free and democratic America, which is very dangerous~"
This kind of conspiracy theory is very common in the United States, a country with free speech. As for the end of the world in 2012, the United States has already discovered that aliens’ remarks about cutting-edge technology appear on major TV stations almost every day, and Yang Can did not feel any anger. .
In the sixth week of the report, as some movie theaters ended the "Feng Shen Bang" report, AMC and China Film also began to receive funds from the movie theaters.
The domestic box office reported that it exceeded 700 million, and the actual box office was more than 520 million. According to the contract, the top will receive 35% of the funds, which is 182 million yuan, excluding some promotional and production costs. The business tax is 167.5 million.
In North America, the mainstream way of cooperation between publishing companies and theaters is to share. The proportion of the share is generally negotiated and signed between the two parties before the film is released. After so many years, the share ratio between the two parties has long formed a common practice, and now it basically adopts a model called "90/10-with-floor-of-70%".
This model means that, on a weekly basis, the total weekly box office income of "Feng Shen Bang" in a movie theater is subtracted from the necessary fixed expenses of the movie theater that have been negotiated at the beginning, such as cleaning fees, electricity bills, etc., and then multiplied by 90 %, the figure obtained is the rent obtained by AMC and the top two companies.
However, this is only a plan. This model will also sign a plan b at the same time, which is to use the total box office not to subtract the movie theater's screening expenses, but to directly multiply it by 70% (this ratio is generally agreed to be between 60-70%). The figure presented is that of the issuing company.
Therefore, distributors generally look at which number a or b is larger, and then choose the larger one as the commission income from the movie theater this week.
Of course, in general, "90/10" is only the ratio of the three weeks before the screening, and then 60/40 in the fourth and fifth weeks, 50/50 in the sixth week, and 40/60 in the seventh week... The specific changes depend on Once the contract is signed, it will be the same as it was agreed upon when it was signed.
In any case, the total box office revenue of a movie from its release to the next painting, the distribution between the distributor and the movie theater, is generally about 50/50, half to half.
"Fengshenbang"’s share model is "90/10-with-floor-of-70%". After six weeks of screening, 194.2 million box office, AMC received 139 million, which is close to 60% before tax. Sharing, and subtracting the cost of nearly 3 million, which includes promotional fees, copying fees, shipping, printing fees, etc., the final six-week pre-tax profit at the box office is 131 million.
As a result, the financial department of the top and amc began to pay various corporate taxes to the tax bureau after the accounting, and paid close to 25% of the tax. After the tax, only more than 104 million US dollars were left. According to the previous The guarantee agreement signed by Top and AMC, when the box office exceeds 30 million U.S. dollars, the share ratio will be increased from 4,6 to 5,5.
In other words, the top companies in North America get 50 million U.S. dollars in revenue, which is more than 300 million yuan.
But things didn't end like this, because Yang Can's North American company had to pay federal personal income tax, California personal income tax and other taxes to the tax bureau. There are so many types of taxes in the United States that an ordinary person can't figure it out at all, let alone know how to avoid taxes reasonably. So Yang Can originally wanted to hand it over to the Tianmu public relations team, but he found that many elites had quietly left the public relations team.
With some doubts in my heart, I could only find Xue Qiyuan to help her deal with it. After all, the chief staff of the Mayor of Los Angeles was much more convenient to solve this problem.
Xue Qiyuan arranged for relevant parties to handle it for a long time, and finally figured out that the amount that Yang Can received was only about 39.28 million.
However, Yang Can does not need to file and pay taxes at the tax bureau immediately, because in the United States, individual taxes are generally paid once a year, and the annual tax declaration deadline is April 15th. It is sufficient to declare before the end of that day. After that day, if you haven't declared, it is tax evasion and tax evasion. What awaits you is the investigation by the IRS and heavy fines.
Fortunately, Yang Can doesn’t need to worry about taxes at all. Anyway, the dividends of the movie are still being credited to the account. It is most convenient to wait for all taxes for this year to be cleared in one breath next year. After calculating the movie on both sides, he excludes the cost. , The funds he entered are nearly 320 million yuan in income.
Of course, this is not an advertisement. There are also audio tapes and DVDs, as well as the additional value-added income of actors. Just talking about the country, a famous economist said that Yang Xiuya's brand value increased this year is close to 8500 thousand. Ten thousand yuan, Korean ***, Taiwanese manufacturers have contacted her to shoot commercials.
What's more, there are Lu Zibo and Han Ting who are originally contracted artists from top companies. Among them, Lu Zibo is not only popular, but also for the first time to shock the movie world with the image of a martial arts star, breaking his image as a handsome idol, which is amazing. .
The fledgling Han Ting has also become one of the first-line actors and has become a household actor in the mainland. Her alma mater, Chengdu Art College, has put her photo in the title column of honorary alumni, and President Wang Xuerun himself made a call. Invite Han Ting to participate in the anniversary celebration of the Academy of Art this year.
At the same time, when he returned to the United States, Yang Can found that the Tianmu Foundation seemed to be colder towards him, and it became difficult to contact them.
Yang Can was drinking beer with Lucky at home, watching TV, and was sullen thinking that this matter was strange. Suddenly the doorbell rang and Lucky opened the door, but it was Xue Qiyuan. Yang Can was proud of the spring breeze and went up without a word Just gave her a hug.
Xue Qiyuan yelled, and was held tightly by Yang Can for a while, but he immediately reacted and pushed him away, staring at her a little, "What are you doing?"
"Polite?" Yang Can pouted: "Isn't it an international etiquette to hug and kiss both cheeks? How grandiose I am to treat you~ I only do this to the Queen of England."
While Yang Can said, he smiled and brought Xue Qiyuan into the room. Le Kai saw her immediately stood up and shouted: "Hello, Big Sister Xue~"
Xue Qiyuan sighed, and she naturally sat on the sofa and said, "I'm here to remind you today."
