At that time, no one knew that "Beauty's Scheme" would be such a bad film.

People just think that with a famous director + a top star + a huge investment of 300 million yuan, it might be the next xx legend.

A hit drama and a classic role can make an actor prosperous for a lifetime.

However, Gu Qingcheng easily snatched away such an opportunity. How could that big flower not bear a grudge?

Even though the reputation of "Beauty's Scheme" has plummeted, not only has it failed to make the male and female protagonists classics, but the nearly 100 million yuan in salary has already gone into the pockets of the two.

This is money.

It is a huge fortune that ordinary people can hardly earn even if they work hard for several lifetimes.

Although the sky-high salary later caused a stir, in order to avoid attracting more attention, the film company publicly stated: "There is no sky-high salary. Teacher Gu and Teacher Xiao have taken the initiative to reduce their salaries. They just hope that the funds can be used for production!"

This is just to fool the stupid fans of both companies.

Any normal fan knows that there are hidden contracts in this world.

On the surface, the pay is very low.

But in private, the price will continue to be as sky-high as it should be.

Not only does it eliminate the negative impact of public opinion, but it can also "avoid taxes."

Both Gu Qingcheng and Xiao Yikun's teams took such actions.

"This is a mine! Sister! If no one detonates it, there will be no problem!"

"But I have a competitor who is determined to get rid of me. This is the biggest black material."

"Sister, I can't ruin my life for a few tens of millions!"

Gu Qingcheng said this with a certain degree of determination at the end.

Sister Hua opened her mouth. She wanted to say that if things went wrong in China, she could still go abroad.

After all, Gu Qingcheng still has a certain influence in Hollywood.

But when the words came to her lips, Sister Hua swallowed them back.

Alas, this kind of talk can only deceive outsiders.

Is it so easy to get along abroad?

If Gu Qingcheng really had a lot of love in Hollywood, she would not return to China!

"It's not that serious!"

Sister Hua had been persuaded, but she was still unwilling to give in, so she said something awkwardly.

"Sister, whether it's serious or not is not up to you and me to decide!"

"I can't leave hidden dangers, and I won't gamble on my luck."

"Maybe I can avoid this storm, but what about the future?"

"You all know the routines in this circle. If someone gets in trouble and needs to be suppressed with bigger news, do you think they'll push me out to share the blame?"

The most effective way of crisis public relations is to suppress one's own scandal with a bigger (or more popular with the public) scandal.

Similar examples are common in the entertainment industry.

Gu Qingcheng doesn't want to be someone else's "fire brigade", she wants to control her own destiny.

She wants to be an ageless goddess!

Thinking of this, Gu Qingcheng's tone was very firm.

Her meaning was very clear. If Sister Hua agreed, she would do it; even if Sister Hua disagreed, she would still do it!

Sister Hua: ...This damn girl, am I an outsider? Would I disregard your "future" for money?

Not to mention that the two of them are partners, just based on their sisterly relationship of growing up together, she would not really not consider Gu Qingcheng.

"Okay! Then let's do as you say."

Anyway, the bulk of the profits belong to Gu Qingcheng. If the dead girl doesn't feel sorry for herself, then neither will she!

Of course, Sister Hua will also suffer losses, but it will be a small amount at most.

"And the studio, forget about that!"

Gu Qingcheng was not finished yet and continued, "It's easier for us to make money. If you still try to find a way to exploit the loophole, it's really inappropriate!"

Gu Qingcheng has already stood at the top of the pyramid, and her studio has also made a lot of money.

The taxes you need to pay are indeed a lot, but compared to your income, it's nothing.

Gu Qingcheng felt that it was better not to lose the big picture for the small.

Sister Hua: ...Is it ever going to end?

However, the bulk of the money has been given away, so the small changes don’t matter.

"Okay! Okay! I know everything!"

After saying that, without waiting for Gu Qingcheng to say anything else, Sister Hua hung up the phone.

Gu Qingcheng: ...Well, Sister Hua is still "angry".

…

Although Sister Hua was angry, she didn't show it.

She had promised Gu Qingcheng that she would not go back on her word.

After hanging up the phone, I asked the finance department to take inventory, estimate the amount owed, and start raising money.

One hundred and thirty-six million!

You little bastard, you're such a spendthrift!

While cursing inwardly, Sister Hua used her connections to contact the local tax authorities.

Then, while Gu Qingcheng was still filming in the film and television city, Sister Hua had already taken care of everything.

"Okay! It's all done! Now, can you rest assured?"

Sister Hua sent a voice message, and her tone was still obviously unhappy.

Sister Hua is indeed a well-known agent and businessman in the circle, and her shrewdness and calculation are fully demonstrated.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to pay back the tax, Sister Hua also gave Gu Qingcheng a big surprise...
