- #482 - Chapter 479: Earn tens of billions in 477 years and pay five billion in taxes
Those strings of numbers!
Qin Yuhai even wondered if he was dazzled and saw a few too many zeros?
Shen Shenghui smiled slightly. He could understand Qin Yuhai’s shock at this time.
Because he was shocked just now, he said with certainty: “Mr. Qin, there is no doubt! This does not involve any copyright income, it is just the purchase of an exclusive release right! All three companies paid hundreds of millions, among which Penguin Music or The one that gave the highest was 500 million. Although the other two companies have made a fortune recently, they still can’t compete with Penguin Music in terms of financial resources, and only gave about 300 million!”
Qin Yuhai still looked at the three pieces of paper blankly, the quotations from the three companies, still a little unconvinced!
Since when did this money become so worthless?
Hundreds of millions of dollars were thrown at Wang Cheng crazily, as if they were all a pile of waste paper.
The combined financial ability of all other celebrity artists under Rubik’s Cube Entertainment is at most not as good as that of Wang Cheng alone. There are more than twenty first-tier and several super first-tier celebrities, as well as more than twenty second- and third-tier star artists!
Shen Shenghui whispered: “Now there are hundreds of millions of people on the Internet waiting for the release of Wang Cheng’s new song, and there are hundreds of millions of potential consuming fans! Of course, these download incomes are not actually considered for their platform. What, but this wave of traffic really makes them all jealous.”
“There are data available on Penguin Music. The average sales volume of all Wang Cheng’s songs has long been over 100 million, and now it is heading towards 200 million! The highest sales volume has reached a terrifying 400 million, setting a new record for the highest single Song sales record! Penguin Music pays Wang Cheng tens of millions in sales revenue every week, sometimes hundreds of millions a week, and hundreds of millions a month!”
“Penguin Music will never allow such a huge amount of traffic to be snatched away by the other two major platforms. The two major platforms are originally supported by capital and have robbed many new songs of old and new singers. If Wang Cheng, who has the largest traffic, is robbed again, Go, then they really have the potential to threaten Penguin Music.”
“So, Penguin Music will try its best to keep Wang Cheng here!”
“The exclusive launch price of 500 million can buy such a huge wave of traffic, and it can also put a distance between itself and the two major competitors. In fact, if you do the math, it is not a loss! The three of them have spent more than 100% on publicity and recruiting people in the past month. It’s more than that.”
Qin Yuhai listened to Shen Shenghui’s words, thought about it himself, and finally accepted the number they quoted to Wang Cheng.
He knew that he had not paid attention to the pop music circle recently, so he was unaware of the huge changes that had taken place in this circle. He said with emotion: “Wang Cheng is really a gold mine that can never be finished!”
In the variety show industry, one announcement was worth one billion, and even two billion was given!
In the pop music industry, just the exclusive right to release two songs is worth 500 million. This does not include the download share of the song itself. When calculated, the revenue of one song is at least 300 to 400 million.
In the cultural circle, one word of Wang Cheng has been hyped to more than one million yuan. Each of the couplets Wang Cheng left in Shuangxing is worth millions or even tens of millions. The two Absolutes in the hands of Wang Hongyi and Han Lei were even offered for 30 million, but they didn’t sell them.
Not to mention the masterpieces written by Wang Cheng, the value of just one ancient poem can exceed one billion!
This is simply a super gold mine that cannot be mined completely.
The most frightening thing is that Wang Cheng is not yet twenty years old!
Qin Yuhai’s eyes were full of greed.
Such a super gold mine, it would be really wonderful if you could control it in your own hands.
Unfortunately…
In reality, Wang Cheng and he are from completely different worlds, and it is difficult to even speak to him.
Shen Shenghui could imagine Qin Yuhai’s mood at this time. In fact, even he had this kind of greed – if he could control Wang Cheng in his own hands, how much influence could he have and how much money could he make?
However, he only thought about this idea in his mind and did not dare to do it at all.
“I will personally deliver these three quotations to Wang Cheng in Hengdian tomorrow.”
Shen Shenghui said softly.
Qin Yuhai nodded, his eyes filled with pain again.
This involves Wang Cheng’s works and copyright income. They have no way to intervene and can only collect a small share in the end. Just like Wang Cheng’s announcement income, Wang Cheng can only get a little income.
They can only get a little bit of the copyright income from their works!
Fortunately, Qin Yuhai was used to this kind of pain, so he quickly calmed down and asked: “How is Wang Cheng’s movie going? The Spring Festival is about to start!”
Shen Shenghui: “I call and ask every day. It is said that it is now in the final stage and post-production will start soon. I heard that Xie Xingfeng and Qin Shangran went to the set to meet Wang Cheng in person. Xie Xingfeng wanted to help Wang Cheng quickly I was asked to make a Wang Cheng movie, but Wang Cheng refused and promised to report to the CCTV Spring Festival Gala program in half a month!”
Qin Yuhai: “How are the movies he made?”
Shen Shenghui frowned slightly and said: “According to the information I know, he has the same schedule as himself when filming movies, and requires other crew members to have the same commuting hours as him. Therefore, the working hours are not as good as other crew members. But at the same time, he is filming The requirements were extremely strict, and he didn’t look like a new director at all, but rather like an experienced top director with many years of directing experience.”
“He is very familiar with filmmaking and also knows a lot about special effects production. He communicates with several special effects teams personally and draws special effects pictures.”
“There is a high probability that this movie is not a bad movie. However, the success rate of science fiction movies is not high, so if it can barely get recognition, it is considered good.”
“However, for Wang Cheng, barely getting recognition is tantamount to failure!”
“At that time, we can make some hype! After all, everyone has high expectations for Wang Cheng and hopes that he can do it perfectly, just like he does in the fields of pop music, classical music, and ancient poetry.”
Qin Yuhai’s eyes lit up slightly: “So, even if he succeeds, we can still break his perfect golden body through public opinion and hype!”
Shen Shenghui nodded: “Yes, that’s it!”
Qin Yuhai: “Okay, you go and do it now. Now expand the publicity and try to get as many big screens as possible.”
Shen Shenghui: “We have already contacted a lot. With Wang Cheng’s fame and popularity, theaters will agree to add more screens. After all, even if Wang Cheng makes a bad movie, the early box office is guaranteed and he can make a profit. Just save the money and reduce the number of screens if attendance drops later. It won’t be a loss for them at all.”
“I estimate that if Wang Cheng’s film is released during the Spring Festival, it will be ranked first in the film schedule!”
The number one film schedule is almost impossible for a new director and actor.
If it were twenty years ago, it would indeed be impossible…
At that time, it was difficult to get recognition for cross-industry development.
But now, it is possible.
Because, now everything depends on traffic, popularity, and fans.
No matter what you did before, as long as you have enough popularity and fan traffic and can be monetized, then capital will support you and support you.
In short, everything is about money!
As long as you can bring benefits to capital, capital does not care whether you are black or red.
With Wang Cheng’s current super popularity and flow, as well as his perfect positive reputation, it’s no exaggeration to say that he ranks first in film rankings!
Pushing two top domestic film directors to the back.
Qin Yuhai: “Okay! Then go to the crew and keep an eye on it.”
A hint of distress flashed through Qin Yuhai’s eyes again.
No matter what the reputation of this movie is, it will definitely make money, but I don’t know how much it will make.
However, he gave the money to Wang Cheng.
With Wang Cheng’s appeal, there will be at least a profit of more than one billion!
Closing his eyes, Qin Yuhai knew that he had been stupid again, and he would never do such a thing again when facing Wang Cheng in the future.
The previous Hongxing is an example!
Thinking of Hongxing, Qin Yuhai asked again: “Has Hongxing sent money to Wang Cheng again recently?”
Shen Shenghui didn’t want to say it at first, but when Qin Yuhai asked about it, he could only say: “Settlement is done once a month! In the past two months, Hongxing paid Wang Cheng a share of 6 billion. Because the maple gift given by Wang Cheng last time Qiaoyebo has created a wave of super popularity, so Hongxing’s sales have increased rapidly in the past two months, and Wang Cheng has also received more share.”
Qin Yuhai closed his eyes and said word by word: “In other words, Wang Cheng took more than 8 billion in cash share from Hongxing in just three months? We can’t get a dime of this money. ?”
Shen Shenghui nodded gently: “Yes!”
Qin Yuhai took a deep breath and didn’t want to speak. He only felt heartache.
“Did he pay his taxes?”
Qin Yuhai asked.
Shen Shenghui: “Pay tax in full, almost half!”
Forehead…
Qin Yuhai had nothing to say.
He also thought that if Wang Cheng failed to pay taxes and evaded taxes, he could use this matter to pin Wang Cheng.
did not expect…
Wang Cheng really paid tax according to personal income tax, which was more than 8 billion, and he paid half of the tax!
This is definitely not something ordinary people can do. Because, people are greedy.
Why do so many celebrities, artists and internet celebrity anchors evade taxes?
Many businessmen and wealthy people are also trying to pay less taxes?
that’s because.
They were unconvinced and distressed.
Having made tens of millions or hundreds of millions, I had to pay nearly half of it out, and saw that the tens of millions were gone!
Most people can’t stand it…
So many celebrities and artists use very stupid and clumsy ways to evade taxes, and their secrets will be exposed if people check them casually.
But!
Wang Cheng actually paid nearly 4 billion in taxes!
Who can bear this?
Qin Yuhai also had to say two words of praise: “Awesome!”
Qin Yuhai put himself in Wang Cheng’s shoes and felt that if he were Wang Cheng, he would never hand over such a large sum of money so willingly. He would definitely find ways to avoid taxes and at the same time try his best to keep the money in his own pocket as much as possible. Leave some extra time in your account so that you don’t file your tax return until the tax payment deadline.
Those like Wang Cheng who pay the tax in full in advance…
Really a cruel person.
You really treat money like dirt!
Furthermore, he thought that this was not all the taxes paid by Wang Cheng, but only the dividends from Hongxing.
Wang Cheng also has a share of income from other popular music works, as well as a share of announcement fees, etc., plus dividends, this year’s total income must be over 10 billion. If the tax is paid in full, it means that at least 5 billion has been paid. Above the tax!
How many large listed companies on the stock market have annual revenue of less than 5 billion…
Shen Shenghui whispered: “Wang Cheng is really indifferent to fame and fortune.”
Qin Yuhai nodded: “I know!”
If it weren’t for this, he would have spent money, shares, and beautiful women to tie Wang Cheng to Rubik’s Cube Entertainment.
It was because Wang Cheng didn’t care about fame, wealth or beauty, that’s why they had no way to deal with Wang Cheng.
“Hey! That’s it…”
Qin Yuhai didn’t want to talk anymore.
He thought he would be a big winner this year thanks to Wang Cheng’s huge profits.
Unexpectedly, Wang Cheng himself was the big winner, earning tens of billions in cash income, and paying taxes in full, with more than 5 billion in taxes.
Made him jealous and helpless.
These could have been his income.
Shen Shenghui saw Qin Yuhai’s mood and did not dare to say anything at the moment. He said goodbye and left the office. Then when he went out, he asked his assistant to book a high-speed rail ticket to Hengdian and rushed to the station immediately.
Soon, I went to Hengdian and met Wang Cheng.
At this time, it was Wang Cheng’s afternoon working hours and he was filming.
Shen Shenghui saw Wang Cheng sitting in front of the monitor and staring at the screen extremely seriously. He didn’t dare to speak and just stood quietly behind.
Xia Xi and the three bodyguard assistants came over to say hello to Shen Shenghui, and then went to stay by Wang Cheng’s side.
Qin Mo came to Shen Shenghui and said, “Director Shen, I think the promotion of the movie can be increased!”
Shen Shenghui nodded: “Well, Mr. Qin and I have fought for it. Starting tomorrow, we will continue to increase publicity resources to pave the way for the release of your movie. Moreover, I have secured the most cinema screens for you. As expected, during the Spring Festival You will be the most scheduled movie next time!”
Ranking first in film placement rate?
Qin Mo’s eyes lit up after hearing this: “That’s the best. Thank you, Director Shen.”
Shen Shenghui: “No, this is my job!”
More than an hour later, when Wang Cheng was resting, Xia Xi quickly brought a cup of tea to Wang Cheng. Shen Shenghui looked envious, then stepped forward and handed the three-point offer contract to Wang Cheng: “Wang Cheng, this is Take a look at the quotations and contracts sent to you by the three major music platforms, which one do you want to choose?”
Wang Cheng drank tea, took a look at the three-point contract, and then handed it to Xia Xi: “Throw it away!”
Xia Xi also took a look, with a flash of shock in his eyes.
Just for the exclusive first-release rights, the asking prices have reached astronomical prices of 300 million and 500 million?
Moreover, Wang Cheng didn’t care about it and just threw it away.
Xia Xi didn’t think too much, and obediently tore up the three contracts and threw them into the trash can nearby.
Shen Shenghui’s eyes were speechless. Qin Mo, Su Hailong, An Keru and others all saw it and were shocked. They could get hundreds of millions without any loss or sacrifice. Wang Cheng just threw it away!
Shen Shenghui whispered: “You refused?”
Wang Cheng said calmly: “No!”
Shen Shenghui: “Then how should I answer them?”
Wang Cheng: “It’s not time yet, let’s wait until the Spring Festival Gala performance is over!”
Shen Shenghui nodded: “Okay, I understand! When will the movie end?”
Wang Cheng: “Half a month!”
Shen Shenghui: “Okay, I will pick you up in half a month to report on CCTV.”
Wang Cheng nodded and continued drinking tea, then said loudly: “Continue!”
The actors and crew members who had just taken a break immediately cheered up and continued to get involved in the filming action.
Even An Keru is as well-behaved as a newbie. He will sit wherever Wang Cheng tells him to do!
The same goes for other actors and all staff members, who strictly implement every word of Wang Cheng…
Shen Shenghui has always seen Wang Cheng get off work at eight o’clock, and has a clearer and more direct understanding and recognition of Wang Cheng’s directing ability.
“get off work!”
At eight o’clock, Wang Cheng didn’t work overtime for an extra minute. He just said, got up and left first.
Shen Shenghui smiled bitterly, knowing that Wang Cheng was an existence that he could not understand after all. He left Hengdian silently and returned to the magic city to do his work.
Back in the Magic City, Shen Shenghui responded to the three major music platforms and responded according to Wang Cheng’s words.
However, the three major platforms still did not give up and sent quotations again!
Penguin Music offered a maximum of 800 million, while the other two offered 500 million!
Obviously, the competition among the three companies has reached a fever pitch, and they all want to secure Wang Cheng as soon as possible and secure this largest wave of traffic.
Unfortunately…
Wang Cheng has refused.
Shen Shenghui did not dare to go to Wang Cheng again, so he coldly dealt with the competition between the three platforms. He did not reply or be direct, and allowed them to raise prices to compete.
At the same time, Shen Shenghui also increased his promotional resources for Wang Cheng’s movie The Matrix. The name The Matrix can be seen everywhere on the Internet!
only…
Wang Cheng did not cooperate with the publicity and did not edit a promotional video in advance!
Wang Cheng relies on his own image for publicity, but he also dominates the headlines on major social platforms…
time flies.
In a blink of an eye, half a month has passed.
