Of course it would be best if we could invite the original crew to shoot the film.
Even though the original male and female protagonists of the drama are very popular in Taiwan, not to mention whether they have schedules, can Tianjiao afford the salaries of the two popular Taiwanese artists, the male and female protagonists?
Screenwriter Zhang would definitely not be able to sell a script for 500,000 in Taiwan, but his value has increased after coming to the mainland. The same is true for artists from Taiwan!
Wen Ying was worried about the production budget, and Li Zhentao laughed: "Then you might really need your mother's help."
Wen Ying's eyes lit up.
Any business can apply for a bank loan. She was just too honest to think of this.
But Li Zhentao was just joking. Li Zhentao had good connections in the bank, and he usually dealt with bank staff of higher rank than Chen Ru. If Tianjiao needed a loan, he wouldn't have to look for Chen Ru at all.
Although Li Zhentao invested money in Tianjiao and served as the actual manager, Tianjiao Film and Television has nothing to do with Li Zhentao on the surface.
Last year, the state issued a trial version of the "Several Provisions on Integrity in the Employment of State-owned Enterprise Leaders". After all, Li Zhentao is a leader of a state-owned enterprise. Even though the film and television company and the state-owned enterprise where Li Zhentao works are of different types, non-affiliated companies, and there will be no business dealings, Li Zhentao is very cautious and does not become a shareholder of Tianjiao Film and Television.
The company has just been established. Once it is actually operational, Li Zhentao will hire professional managers, and he will gradually stop interfering in Tianjiao's daily operations.
Considering that Li Zhentao needs to avoid suspicion, it is not surprising that he did not rely on previous relationships and chose to ask Chen Ru to arrange the loan.
Of course Wen Ying would not refuse.
She believed that Manager Chen would not refuse.
Only those who help each other can be friends. No matter which party makes efforts alone without getting any return, the friendship will be ruined over time.
After Wen Ying revised the script several times and it was approved by screenwriter Zhang and Yuan Fenghui, Li Zhentao finally talked to her about the issue of remuneration. The contract he prepared for Wen Ying stated a royalty of 500,000 yuan.
The remuneration for a screenwriter is different from the royalties for writing, and Wen Ying has no affiliated unit, so this income is considered "royalties". Li Zhentao will not allow Wen Ying to evade taxes. How could she have such a stain at such a young age?
In fact, the current mainland entertainment circle is still popular with the "after-tax remuneration" standard. Most of the remuneration given to actors, directors and other important personnel is after-tax. If an actor's salary is quoted at 2 million, it means that he must get 2 million. The tax is borne by the crew and the film company. If the film company does not pay, the actors will not pay either. It's okay if the tax authorities don't check, but once they do, few stars are clean in terms of taxes.
Li Zhentao could give Wen Ying a compensation of 500,000 after tax. He was not stingy. He just felt that Wen Ying received the round number of 500,000 and was used to receiving "after-tax compensation". She had no direct experience in paying taxes and would be prone to falling into traps in the future.
"You can't pay less tax. The script cost 500,000 yuan, but you only got a little over 400,000 yuan..."
Li Zhentao still wanted to explain the twists and turns to Wen Ying, how could Wen Ying not understand?
No matter how well written her script was, it wasn't actually worth 500,000. This industry was so realistic. If you didn't prove your ability by writing a hit drama, no matter how good your script was, it wouldn't sell for a good price. Li Zhentao was willing to pay 500,000 because he recognized her, took care of her, and forced her value to be the same as screenwriter Zhang. Anyone who asked Wen Ying to write a script in the future, even if they didn't pay the full 500,000, would definitely be embarrassed to only offer 50,000!
After paying taxes, she had just over 400,000 yuan, and Wen Ying was already very satisfied.
If she saves some more money, she can put buying a house in Shanghai on the agenda!
Wen Ying received a high salary, and on the other hand, the weekly sales statistics of Li Mengjiao's first album were also released.
