0065 Chapter 'Traffic Station' premiere
The filming time of "The Legend of Qin" is set in September this year, with the shooting location in Zhuozhou Film and Television City. The crew will notify Zhou Jing of the specific start time at that time.
After the contract was signed, Zhou Jing and Chen Shuhua walked out of the hotel and came all the way to the parking lot.
"Sister Hua, do you have time these few days?" Zhou Jing, who had not spoken after the car started, suddenly asked.
"Is there anything wrong?"
"I want to invite you to have a meal with Sister Xuan Xuan." Zhou Jing said embarrassedly.
This time, the film contract totaled 2.8 million. According to the brokerage contract signed by Zhou Jing and Huacheng, the share ratio in the first three years was 82 cents. Zhou Jing was able to get a total of 560,000 yuan in film payments, and the taxes were deducted, and the results were more than 400,000 yuan.
Thanks to the care of the two of them during this period, Zhou Jing had long wanted to find an opportunity to thank them.
Although this film appointment is nothing to Wu Xuanxuan and Chen Shuhua's eyes, Wu Xuanxuan's pay for an episode in "The Legend of Qin" reached 500,000, but this is Zhou Jing's intention after all, and it has nothing to do with the amount of film appointments.
Chen Shuhua looked in the rearview mirror inward, then nodded, "You choose the time, I have nothing else to do with Xuan Xuan these days."
The news that Zhou Jing was awarded the second male lead in "The Legend of Qin" was soon spread to Huang Yihan, and then through Huang Yihan, it reached Wang Tianying's ears.
"You mean, in terms of TVB, it was finally decided that Zhou Jing will participate in the drama "The Legend of Qin"?" Wang Tianying on the other end of the phone sounded a little surprised.
It was through Wang Tianying that Chen Shuhua gave Zhou Jing this audition opportunity.
"Well, TVB has officially notified us." Huang Yihan nodded.
After hearing the news at first, Huang Yihan also made several calls in succession and finally confirmed the authenticity of the news.
To be honest, Huang Yihan is more surprised than Wang Tianying about this result.
Although Zheng Xiaohan was dissatisfied with TVB because of his lateness on the day of audition, he was one of the most influential young actors in the mainland. From the perspective of the overall situation, Zheng Xiaohan's joining is undoubtedly the best choice.
But TVB finally chose Zhou Jing as a newcomer.
It can be said that TVB is making a big bet.
Huang Yihan hesitated for a while, "Brother Wang, do you want the company to put some pressure on the company to replace Zhou Jing with TVB and replace Zheng Xiaohan with Zheng?"
Huacheng Media is also one of the investors in the drama "The Legend of Qin". If the loss is caused by improper casting, Huacheng also needs to bear it together.
"Why should I change it?" Wang Tianying smiled, "Besides, with Chen Shuhua's temperament, the contract has been signed now. If you force her artist to be replaced, have you considered the consequences?"
"But, will the company lose a lot if Zhou Jing plays it?"
If Zhou Jing starred, Hua Cheng's loss would exceed 10 million for the film contract alone. After all, Zhou Jing and Zheng Xiaohan were not on the same level, let alone the additional risks brought by subsequent ratings.
"Cultivating new people requires investment. This time the opportunity was earned by Zhou Jing himself. They are all artists of the company, so there is no need to treat them so differently. Moreover, it is indeed time to hit Zheng Xiaohan. The trouble he caused over the years has caused a lot of losses to the company."
"I understand." Huang Yihan nodded. Wang Tianying said so, so she naturally would not say anything more.
***
The matter of inviting Chen Shuhua and Wu Xuanxuan to have dinner was set at the same night, and the time and place were all set by Wu Xuanxuan.
Zhou Jing originally thought Wu Xuanxuan would slap him well, but she didn't expect that in the end she chose a hot pot restaurant, which made Zhou Jing very disappointed. He also wanted to take this opportunity to go to Michelin three-star.
This hot pot restaurant is run by a friend of Wu Xuanxuan. Celebrities like her often come to eat, so there are more than a dozen private rooms in the store.
"To celebrate the successful signing of the junior brother of "The Legend of Qin", let's have a drink!" Wu Xuanxuan raised the beer glass in her hand and said with a smile.
Since she agreed to come out for dinner together, Chen Shuhua naturally would not disappoint her. She also raised her wine glass and said, "Cheers!"
"Thank you Sister Hua and Sister Xuan." It was Zhou Jing's happiest day for so long to join Huacheng.
"Wow, I haven't drunk beer for a long time." After a large glass of beer, Wu Xuanxuan showed a satisfied look, with some hops remaining on her lips. "How about it, are you very excited to film with your senior sister?"
"Do you dare not be excited?" Zhou Jing rolled his eyes. To be honest, this girl Wu Xuanxuan is really good. She is just a funny person in reality.
Wu Xuanxuan guru Guru again, "I was still worried before. If I had sex with Zheng Xiaohan, I wouldn't be depressed."
"Xuan Xuan, pay attention to your words." Chen Shuhua's voice was a little stern. Once such words were spread by some people, they would definitely cause a huge uproar.
"That's it. I don't like Zheng Xiaohan anyway. I'm too hypocritical. I didn't want to mention my attitude towards the staff before attending the award ceremony with him." Wu Xuanxuan curled her lips and muttered in a low voice.
It is normal for celebrities on stage and off stage to have two sides. After all, celebrities are also human beings. Once celebrities become ordinary people, you can't guess what they will look like. The couple "plays their own things", beating people drunk, and being accustomed to three... There are many such things that have been exposed.
"That's not what you should say. Some words that are rotten in your stomach are the best choice." Chen Shuhua didn't blame Wu Xuanxuan, but it is necessary for public figures to be cautious in their words and actions.
"Why are you talking about him at this time?" Seeing this, Zhou Jing transferred the topic to the meal while picking up food for Wu Xuanxuan.
Fortunately, Wu Xuanxuan is a carefree person and soon forgot about this matter.
"The tax on the film contract you got this time will exceed 100,000 yuan. When the time is right, I will apply to the company to set up a personal studio, and the taxable amount will be much lower at that time." Chen Shuhua suddenly said when it comes to the film contract.
"Wouldn't that be tax evasion?" Zhou Jing asked in confusion.
"That's not called tax evasion, but legal tax avoidance. A large part of the existence of personal studios serves legal tax avoidance for celebrities. But it's too early to tell you this now, and I will explain it to you in detail at that time." Chen Shuhua smiled and didn't say anything more.
There is a reason why celebrities are so keen on setting up personal studios, and tax avoidance is an important part of it. However, such tax avoidance is actually free in the gray area, and it depends on whether the tax department wants to check you.
If the country is cruel to thoroughly investigate the taxation issues of celebrities, few people in the entertainment industry dare to say that they are innocent. However, this kind of thing is too wide-ranging in all aspects, and it is okay to kill the chicken and scare the monkey. It is absolutely impossible to turn it to the bottom.
"By the way, is the sitcom you filmed before about to be played?" Chen Shuhua asked hurriedly when she remembered this.
Before joining Huacheng, Zhou Jing was able to show off her works. Chen Shuhua was considering whether she could use this drama to increase her popularity for Zhou Jing.
"Yes, on the 15th of this month, it will be premiered on the prime section of Shandong TV and Zhejiang Provincial TV at the same time." Speaking of this, Zhou Jing's mood became more and more relaxed.
