At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 1178

"Xiao Meng is back?"

"Well," Chen Hao raised his head and said jokingly: "Why...are you reluctant to let go?"

Shen Xudong was speechless: "Why are you reluctant to let go? If I really couldn't let go, I wouldn't let you two meet!"

"…How many confidantes do you have?"

"A confidante?" Shen Xudong raised an eyebrow: "Is it the kind of confidante that I understand?"

"How do you understand?"

"The so-called confidante refers to a friend who not only has female charm, but also can have deep communication with men, help men understand their own hearts and relieve mental stress..." Speaking of this, Shen Xudong shook his head: "I don't have a confidante, not a confidante. If anything, I think you are my confidante!"

Chen Hao couldn't help it, smiled, and then sighed: "I was deceived by your mouth in the first place!"

"Is it just my mouth? Back then, my ventriloquism was actually average..."

It was obvious that he was driving, but Chen Hao was not shy. Instead, he nodded: "Yes, we have made great progress now!"

"That's...life is about constant learning!"

"That's because you didn't need ventriloquism before, but it's different now..."

"Correct!"

“You can cover up certain aspects of degradation by using your hands and mouth together!”

"What...what did you say?" Shen Xudong was angry: "You said I have regressed?"

Chen Hao shook his head: "In the past, when I was filming "The Best in the World", I was most afraid of seeing you in the lounge. You could do it five or six times a day... What about now?"

"... "

Shen Xudong didn't say anything, just stepped forward, hugged her, held her down, and then...

……

The entertainment industry at the beginning of 2018 is the same as before...

Various so-called big melons were exposed, Li Xiaolu was awarded the title of Pingxi Wang, then Xie Na gave birth to a daughter, Tang Yan announced her relationship...

It feels like the entertainment industry!

As for the film industry, there is almost no change. During the Spring Festival, Tianmei Media is the biggest winner again: "Operation Red Sea" finally earned 43 billion in box office, ranking first, and "Monster Hunt 2" became a laughing stock - 60 million in promotional funds, just The -second countdown advertisement for CCTV Spring Festival Gala cost at least hundreds of millions of yuan!

To be honest, the 60-second countdown advertisement for the Spring Festival Gala is only the most basic one. You must know that Midea Group spent 7 million yuan to buy the countdown advertisement 5720 years ago. Now it is 60 seconds...

What a generous act!

On the first day of the new year, it did beat "Operation Red Sea" with a box office of more than 5 million in a single day, including the second day of the new year. However, starting from the third day of the new year, "Operation Red Sea" directly Surpassing "Monster Hunt 2"...

Then... "Monster Hunt 2" was never given a chance.

At the end of the Spring Festival, "Monster Hunt 2" has a total box office of 18.6 billion, while "Operation Red Sea" has a total box office of 43 billion...

Shen Xudong posted a message on Weibo, 'The film market has entered an era where content is king. No matter how novel and generous the marketing and publicity methods are, they can't change the fate of a mediocre movie that hits the street...'

It can be regarded as a stamp for Anle Film and Television...

In the following four months, Shen Xudong did not post any Weibo messages.

Well, to be precise, I didn’t post any movie-related Weibo posts, but I did post a lot of landscape photos and photos of Chen Hao.

Well, I really went to travel around the world!

Get married in March and honeymoon for 7 or 8 months.

is that OK?

Anyway, he doesn’t need to worry about the company’s affairs!

No, in June, "Total War: Mountains and Seas" will be released, and he will definitely make an appearance to promote it...

Before June, at the end of May, the two returned to China - Chen Hao fell in love with a script called "Bad Boy" and wanted to make it, while Shen Xudong... returned to China to deal with tax issues!

Well, Fan Xiaopang posted "Wu Yue is very happy", and then Teacher Cui exploded, and after that, the entire entertainment industry was rectified!

The first is the tax issue. Of course Shen Xudong has no tax issue. The problem is that many of the company's projects are registered in Horgos - Horgos has a preferential policy that is difficult to refuse... There are two forms of "exemption + refund".

以一家营业额3000万元的企业为例，在其他地方需要缴纳增值税291万、附加税34.9万、企业所得税162.8万、个人所得税169.4万，总计658.1万。

In Horgos, the company only had to pay various taxes of about 429 million yuan, and the actual tax amount dropped by 229.1 million yuan.

In the past few years, the word "Horgos" always appeared in the movie producers. Tianmei Media has also registered several companies there, producing including "The Great Sage", "Shu Mountain", "Wolf Warrior 2"...

Let's put it this way, "Wolf Warrior 2" has more than 20 billion+ revenue, and has to pay more than 5 million in taxes, but because the company is in Horgos, it only has to pay more than 1 million.

Moreover, it is reasonable and legal!

But now, it's not legal anymore.

Because of the Fan Xiaopang incident, to be precise: after the outbreak of large and small contract incidents, the entire industry began to face strict rectification.

Starting from the capital, the SW department began to strictly review film and television companies.

Many companies have been required to make up for the tax benefits they previously enjoyed because of "taking advantage of tax policy loopholes."

That's right, the previous discount now needs to be paid back...

Shen Xudong returned to China mainly to deal with this matter...

Another thing is that because of Fan Xiaopang, the public was full of doubts about the entire film industry, and capital quickly fled!

The A-share film and television entertainment sector plummeted as a whole. Among them, listed companies such as Tangde Film and Television and Huayi Brothers, the holding companies of Fan Xiaopang and Feng Xiaogang involved in the case, fell by the limit. The market value of the entire media sector evaporated by tens of billions that day, and continued to fall in subsequent trading days. , the industry is in mourning.

Let's put it this way, the initial market value of Tianmei Film and Television was around 1500 billion. Because of this incident, the stock price fell for a month. Although it is not as good as the Huayi Brothers' halving, the market value dropped to nearly 400 billion in one month, which is still an exaggeration!

As the boss of a listed company, Shen Xudong is under performance pressure.

The reason why it didn't fall so sharply is mainly because two movies on the market performed well - "Your Wedding" and "Young You", both of which were rated billions...

Moreover, Shen Xudong's Tianmei series does not bind artists...

At least they didn’t produce questionable artists!

……

Back at the company, Gao Fenfen, Chen Xi and other senior executives came to complain about Fan Xiaopang. Shen Xudong was quite speechless and couldn't help but said: "Stop complaining. I've told you about this kind of thing a long time ago." I'll definitely take care of it. It's obvious that I'm taking advantage of the loopholes..."

"How much back tax should be paid, just take it out, it's not like you have no money!"

"But our theme park is a gold-eating beast!"

Theme parks are indeed gold-swallowing beasts, with large investments, slow recovery, and high risks.

The initial investment is just the beginning, and long-term investment in operation, maintenance, repairs, maintenance and upgrades will be required in the future.

To this end, Tianmei has loaned nearly 100 billion...

Shen Xudong shook his head: "It's okay. I still have several billion dollars here. If you don't have any money, just ask me to borrow it."

"...I am now worried that entertainment stocks will fail and our company's market value will fall even further!"

"It will definitely fall..." Shen Xudong waved his hand: "Our profit last year was less than 40 billion, which supported a price-earnings ratio of more than 50 times. This is an exaggeration... I think a market value of around 800 billion is relatively reliable..."

"What if it still falls?"

Shen Xudong said seriously: "Don't worry, if it falls again, I will take action... Moreover, the country cannot just let it go. We run our business in the right way..."

"Alas, we are also considered to be affected by the fire at the city gate!"

"...We don't count," Shen Xudong shook his head: "In the past few years, the overall environment of the entertainment industry has become rife with fraud, extravagance, taking advantage of loopholes, not following the right path, not eating meat, and having no sense of reverence...Sooner or later, the higher-ups will vigorously rectify it. Without Fan Xiao Fat people also have Fatty Li...it's destined!"
