Chapter 1726 Korean Wave (Part 1)

After leaving Zhongnanhai, I went to Haina Entertainment first.

This time, Haina Entertainment's performance in disaster relief was also remarkable. Not only did the company donate money and materials, but its artists also donated generously. Many celebrities also participated in some charity performances for free, without appearance fees, and donated a lot of money on the spot.

This made many trolls who criticized actors for harming the country start to be a little more lenient. However, the artists of Haina Entertainment have always been a clear stream in the entertainment industry.

There are very few news about gossip and hidden rules. Whether it is a big star or a second-rate star, basically their acting skills are online, there is no awkward acting, or relying on relationships to push hard.

But people are profit-seeking animals after all. For example, in Haina, the taxes that should be paid cannot be reduced by a penny. An actor has to pay 200,000 personal income tax for a salary of 1 million, and then share the accounts with the company, and the amount is less than half.

But if you go out to open a studio, the tax rate will be directly reduced to 10%. If you go to a tax protection zone to set up a personal studio, the tax rate can be as low as 5%.

Moreover, if you have your own studio, you can rely on your personal connections to become famous, or find a sponsor behind you to obtain resources. You don’t have to give the big share to the company. You can turn around and take the big share. This makes a lot of money.

For example, classmates who graduated from the same art school are now first-line stars.

Although one person is smooth sailing in Haina and has not had so many troubles, he can only make 500,000 yuan for each play. If the play is popular and adds some bonuses, it will only be 600,000 or 700,000 yuan.

Moreover, as an artist of the company, various advertising and commercial endorsements, and even if you are no longer filming in Haina, you find resources to film other companies’ plays. According to the contract, you still need to give the company a commission, otherwise why would the company train you?

Another person sets up a studio by himself, although there are all kinds of troubles, and even have to attend various drinking parties. When looking for resources, you not only need to pay an introduction fee, but you may even accept some unspoken rules.

But people can make 1 million yuan or even more for a play. One or two plays can earn millions every year. After two years, when the pay increases sharply, one play may make tens of millions.

Add to that various advertising product endorsements, and a first-line star can easily make hundreds of millions of dollars a year. A star can make millions of dollars a year from various bonuses and advertising endorsements, and at most tens of millions of dollars.

A star who earns hundreds of millions of dollars directly will feel disappointed.

So now many big-name stars in many companies, if they don’t have company shares to get dividends. Basically, every one of them likes to set up their own studio.

Or they can form a small company in groups of three or five, combine resources to expand their network, make their own money and divide it among themselves, and earn several times more.

At present, Haina’s shares are very valuable, so option shares are not only for first-line stars, but also for big names who joined the company late.

It is basically impossible to become a shareholder of Haina, and although Haina’s contractual penalty is not low, other contract terms are relatively loose.

More importantly, whether you leave or stay, as long as you don’t make a fool of yourself and spread rumors and discredit Haina outside. Haina will not shout and kill those who leave like other entertainment companies, so naturally some people will be tempted.

So whether it is the big names or first-line stars who signed with Haina before, or the stars who came out of the special training class and became popular in recent years. Many people have left Haina in the past few years.

Of course, as a veteran, people leave here, and Haina is also recruiting people, basically maintaining a balance.

However, there are quite a lot of people who have left in the past two years. After all, the mainland entertainment market has gradually become popular, and a large amount of funds have begun to flow in. With more sponsors, some celebrities and artists naturally have more backers.

Leaving Haina naturally makes people feel more confident. At the same time, as the entertainment industry gradually begins to capitalize, everyone is scrambling for good seedlings, and those who can't get them are all spending money to support them. The competition is becoming increasingly fierce, and it is not easy for newcomers to stand out.

Many entertainment companies have started various gambling agreements and equity dividends, but only Haina remains unchanged, which must make people feel a little unstable.

However, there is generally no big problem for some people to be restless. After all, Haina is still the overlord of the Asian entertainment industry and has a certain status in Hollywood.

In the past two years, there have been many Chinese celebrities and artists who have appeared in Hollywood movies or movies. Although their international performance is not very popular, it is still acceptable.

This is even more unmatched by other entertainment companies, so most of those who leave want to make quick money. Those who stayed were all of good mentality and long-term vision, which was also a great success.

Therefore, Yang Dongxu didn't care much about the coming and going of the company's artists, and Liu Zongsheng didn't care much either.

Because Haina's goal has never been to make these celebrities a cash cow for itself, but to create a platform to unify the entertainment industry.

Just like all the stars now want to go to Hollywood, and Haina Entertainment is making itself Hollywood, the two sides are not on the same level.

In the office of the chairman of Haina Entertainment, Yang Dongxu, who was taking the elevator upstairs, did not cause much sensation in the company.

However, as soon as he sat in the office, Zhang Jing hurriedly brought a few documents over.

After opening it and taking a rough look, Yang Dongxu said, "Notice them to pay the tax, and if they do it again, let them pay the penalty and get out directly. You can leave now, pay the penalty and leave at any time."

The documents Zhang Jing gave him were nothing else, but the contracts of several second-tier and above-average stars who are now somewhat famous.

It was not an economic contract, but a business contract signed for filming. One of them was a normal business contract, and the other was a private contract.

This is the early prototype of the Yin-Yang contract. However, the bold Yin-Yang contract in the future is that the normal contract pays 1 million yuan to go through the normal tax procedure, and it is a 5% personal studio tax in the bonded area, not the 20% personal income tax.

Then the private contract is signed for 10 million yuan, the bulk of which is kept privately, and the contract that pays taxes in public is a drop in the bucket.

Now celebrities are not so bold, or everyone is not so inflated. The contracts in Yang Dongxu's hand are 5 million yuan in pay, 4 million yuan in the public contract, and 1 million yuan in private.

And after taking 1 million yuan, he seemed to be very uneasy, so he handed over the share that should belong to the company.

Of course, there may be a reason for wanting to find a talisman behind the uneasiness. After all, if the higher-ups find out about them, with Haina in front of them, their lives will undoubtedly be much better.

Zhang Jing nodded and went to inform the big boss of the administrative department of the results of the handling of this matter, and let them deal with it.

Just as I was about to leave, Liu Zongsheng happened to walk in.

Actually, it wasn't a coincidence. I came to the company today because Liu Zongsheng asked the big boss to come over to discuss something.

Of course, the discussion was not about the tricky contracts of several artists that had already been dealt with, but about the BS subsidiary in Korea.
