To save the music festival, winning the championship is not too much.

There are many people sitting in the conference room.

Xu Xuan is familiar with Gu Qingfeng, Wang Shuo, Chen Wendong, etc.

Then there is Yan Qing, the director of Konka Entertainment who I have never dealt with before, but I know him. He is also the brother of Yan Yan, the general manager of Konka Entertainment, director Yan Qing.

He is the director of the Spring Festival film "A Dog".

At present, the box office of this movie has exceeded 5 million, and it is heading towards 8 million, which is regarded as a milestone for animal movies.

Therefore, Yan Qing has recently gained a large number of animal-loving fans.

In addition to this are Su Jinlin, the leader of the State Film Administration, and another short-haired old lady wearing gold-rimmed glasses.

After Lou Chao asked Xu Xuan to sit down, he said, "Let me introduce you. This lady's name is Shen Huaru. She is the vice president of the China Small Animal Association."

"I think everyone knows about the cat abuse incident years ago, which caused quite a stir."

"So according to the request of the leaders of the relevant departments, our State Film Administration also wants to speak out for small animals. Now, Ms. Shen will talk about this matter in detail."

Xu Xuan and others applauded softly.

Shen Huaru looks to be in her sixties, with short white hair, but fair skin, and she looks like she lives a pampered life.

After Shen Huaru briefly introduced the cat abuse in the zoo, he also talked about Yan Qing's film shooting, and even "Resident Evil" produced by Future Group also involved dogs.

Xu Xuan felt a little uncomfortable.

This must be very common in Eagle Country.

But in China, few people question a film crew's treatment of animals.

Besides, the director of this drama is Huo Siqing, and it is impossible for a woman to abuse cats and dogs.

In fact, Xu Xuan also talked to Huo Siqing about this matter. The animals should not be injured, otherwise it will become a public opinion. Besides, Xu Xuan is not the kind of person who abuses animals.

But as Shen Huaru changed the topic, she said: "Inviting everyone here today is actually for the private affairs of the Animal Association, and it can be regarded as a semi-official matter."

"Whether it is public opinion or suggestions from various people, we have to bring this matter to an end, so in the end, the leaders of the Small Animal Protection Association and relevant departments will discuss it."

"Joining forces with the General Administration of Film to produce a film with a movie theme to demonstrate our determination to protect small animals."

In fact, when it comes to this, Xu Xuan is not interested.

There is a dilemma in the film industry.

One is a child and the other is an animal.

The reason goes without saying, so many directors try to avoid these two factors.

Now Xu Xuan is really not interested in making a movie about animals.

Looking at each other with Gu Qingfeng, Xu Xuan found that Gu Qingfeng also lacked interest.

However, Yan Qing's eyes were a little bright.

After all, he had made movies about cats before "A Dog."

Shen Huaru said at this time: "Of course, since I asked everyone to come, I want to shoot a few more movies. I hope everyone present can shoot one each, and finally select the best movie as a promotional movie for the Animal Protection Association. .”

Xu Xuan sighed in his heart.

Another mission?

Unexpectedly, Lou Chao said at this time: "After selecting the best film, the 5% film transfer tax will be canceled for the director's future films. This is a reward for everyone."

Xu Xuan's eyes widened when he heard this.

Not only Xu Xuan, Gu Qingfeng, but also Wang Shuo and others were all shocked.

Yan Qing's eyes even shone!

How much tax is there on a movie?

The total box office must first pay a value-added tax of approximately 3.3% and its surcharge.

and 5% of the special funds for the film industry (referred to as "special funds").

The remaining approximately 91.7% is regarded as the "divisible box office" of a movie.

but!

Of the divisible box office, 57% is retained by cinemas and cinema chains, usually 7% is allocated to cinema chains and 50% to cinemas.

So how much is left?

The divisible box office here represents 100% of gross profit and cost.

but!

There is also a part of the box office share that needs to be paid to China Film Group, ranging from 1% to 3%.

In total, 40% is left, plus an increase of 2%, which means that if China Film Group wants 1%, 42% will be left.

Therefore, in theory, the producer can ultimately get a gross profit of about 42%.

But among the 42% of profits, there are also publicity fees, which fluctuate around 7%.

The remaining 35% is pure gross profit.

Excluding costs, remuneration, director's fees, etc., the final net profit that the producer can get is probably between 25% and 30%.

Let’s say we can get 30%. How much money is there?

One billion box office, about 300 million yuan?

wrong!

Value-added tax and film transfer tax are deducted from the entire box office.

In other words, with a box office of 2.8 billion, the producer can only get about million!

Bit by bit, in the end you can get 2.5 million, which is considered qualified.

That is to say.

If the cost of a movie is not outside the box, the net profit is about 20% to 25% of the box office!

OK, so what does Lou Chao mean just now?

Assuming that the total box office of Xu Xuan's Thieves is 30 billion, it can save 1.5 million in taxes!

What is this concept?

Pure profit!

Even other directors can save 5 million even if they have a box office of million!

This is extra free money!

So you can understand the excitement of Xu Xuan and others.

Yan Qing even said with gleaming eyes: "This policy is good, thank you leaders, thank you leaders!"

Wang Shuo and Chen Wendong glanced at him sideways.

What do you mean, the emotional policy already belongs to you.

In fact, what makes Xu Xuan so excited is because Lou Chao said that the director will save this money on future movies.

For ordinary directors, a movie costing 20 million for nothing is equivalent to cost savings.

But for Xu Xuan, a movie worth two billion is a profit worth hundreds of millions in vain!

Who wouldn’t want to pounce on a good thing like this?

It's just that Xu Xuan didn't expect that this matter would have such great benefits. It's no wonder that Lou Chao called him out specifically.

"Director Yan, is it too early to be happy?" Chen Wendong laughed and glanced at Gu Qingfeng and Xu Xuan calmly.

"Not to mention that there is Director Gu here, even Director Xu shouldn't be underestimated, right?"

Yan Qing was startled when he heard this, glanced at Gu Qingfeng, and then looked at Xu Xuan.

He was not arrogant, but said confidently: "When it comes to shooting theme-themed movies or commercial (popcorn movie) movies, I'm definitely not as good as Director Gu and Director Xu."

"But if it's an animal movie, I really don't want to be too low-key."

After Yan Qing finished speaking, he looked at Xu Xuan specifically: "I heard that Director Xu has also made animal movies, which is quite exciting."

Xu Xuan glanced at him a little confused, since when did labor and management specialize in shooting animal movies?

Unexpectedly, Chen Wendong laughed and said, "Really, does Jaws count as an animal movie?"

Wang Shuo also said a little sarcastically: "Aren't we discussing the protection of small animals? Why does the great white shark also count?"
