Chapter 1178 Big Changes

"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..."

"right!"

“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 4.3 billion in box office, ranking first, and "Monster Hunt 2" became a laughing stock - 600 million in promotional funds, just The countdown to the CCTV Spring Festival Gala is at least over 100 million yuan!

To be honest, the countdown to the Spring Festival Gala is the most basic. You must know that 7 years ago, Midea Group spent 57.2 million yuan to buy a countdown advertisement for ten seconds. 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 500 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 and 4.3 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, when "Mountains and Seas" is released, he will definitely show up to promote it...

Before returning 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 preferential policies that are difficult to refuse...

There are two forms of "exemption + refund".

Taking a company with a turnover of 30 million yuan as an example, it needs to pay a value-added tax of 181,000 yuan in other places.

In Horgos, the company only had to pay about 42 yuan, and the actual tax amount dropped by 2.291 million yuan.

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

Let's put it this way, "Wolf Warrior 2" has more than 2 billion+ revenue, and has to pay more than 500 million in taxes, but because the company is in Horgos, it only has to pay more than 100 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, people are full of doubts about the entire film industry, and capital quickly flees!

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 150 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 40 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 before." 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 10 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 4 billion, which supported a price-earnings ratio of more than 50 times. This is an exaggeration... I think a market value of around 80 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!"
