Best Actor

      It is to actively exclude yourself from the circle. What's more, most of the money has fallen into his own pockets, and the production company is also his own, so it makes no difference whether it is given to himself or the company.

    In addition, you can avoid taxes to a certain extent and squeeze profits to a certain extent, so naturally you can’t do it.

      Company money becomes two different things. Financing is imperative, it is one thing to attract investment, it is another to expand contacts and channels, both want to raise funds and prevent being expelled from the board of directors, in addition to the method mentioned by Vladimir, continue to invest Guaranteed shareholding is also an option.

    In this case, it is naturally more appropriate to put the money from the box office into your own pocket as much as possible, although it is a bit unnecessary to transfer it to the company, but since it is good for you, why not do it? ? However, the company also needs a certain amount of profit, otherwise how can it attract people to invest? But for the most part it's fine.

    It's just that Sean didn't expect that the movie's revenue would be so huge. After the box office exceeded 100 million, he devoted himself to the shooting of various movies and didn't care much. After returning from Alaska , After getting the specific numbers from his accountant, he was stunned for a long time before he could react.

    "Film is the most profitable industry," Sanders commented, then elbowed Galen, "Are you sure you don't want to change careers, Galen?"

    "You only see movies that make money, why don't you watch those movies that can't even be released?" Galen shrugged, "Besides, are there more movies that make money, or are they not even released? There are too many movies that can't be helped?"

    "But we have Sean here. He has a first-class vision for picking scripts. When he makes the next movie, you can invest." Sanders said half-jokingly.

    "I don't mind, it's hard to find low-budget movies, but there will be," Sean said immediately, "I can lend you money, Galen, but at a slightly higher interest rate Point, with your current savings, if you want to open a restaurant, it will take a long, long time."

    "Come on, Sean," Galen didn't completely reject his offer. "You know, running a restaurant is not that simple. I need not only money, but also experience."

    Since that's the case, Sean didn't say anything more, and then began to worry about how to use the money. Relatively speaking, his mentality has improved a lot. Last year, he was still excited about the 25 million he earned from short selling. Now he has doubled it, and it is far from over. Instead, he is very calm. It really is money. Is earning to a certain extent just numbers?

    How to spend it is indeed a question, last year he was able to seize the opportunity to invest in Netflix and Google, but now it is impossible to do so. After getting the news from the accountant, Sean immediately contacted Neil and wanted to increase his stake in Netflix and Google. The former increased to 20% and the latter to 10%, but Neil The answer given after the survey is: impossible.

      Not to mention Google, although the business is shrinking this year, the several VCs that hold shares are well-known companies with good money, and they are all optimistic about Google. All have the idea of ​​transferring risks, and it is impossible for Sean to pull out the 7% stake from them.

    So, if Sean really wants to increase his holdings, he can only wait for them to go public.

    As for your own production company, you must invest, but you will not and cannot invest so much at one time. The specific situation depends on the financing situation. Previously, 5 million has been allocated to Vladimir to build a replacement. Good shelf, before "My Big Greek Wedding" went offline, Sean didn't plan to deal with those investment institutions, so he allocated a maximum of 5 million to maintain expenses.

    And the loan for this villa has been paid off before. If he wants to buy a house in Beverly Hills, he wants to buy a big one, preferably 20 to 30 million, once In place, so as not to buy again. But in this case, almost half of the capital will be spent just to buy a house, and the subsequent decoration may be more expensive. If all of it is spent on this, what should I do if I continue to inject capital into the production company? Or choose to buy the villa in installments?

    Buying a car is a good idea, but in comparison, Sean is more willing to fully and delicately maintain the two classic cars he currently owns, and the sight of driving these two cars out is comparable Mercedes-Benz wants to be eye-catching, and if you continue to buy cars, the garage of this villa is not enough now.

    "When is it difficult to spend money?" Sean said this with some self-deprecation after planning in his mind.

    Fortunately, there are still things to do at present, so that he doesn't have to think about these enviable troubles, after returning from the north to rest for a few days, he immediately went to the small town in Louisiana in the south Town Laplace, reporting to the "Dance of the Dead" crew.

    "It's been a few months since you were so different." Billy Bob Thornton patted Sean on the shoulder and said with a smile.

    "Oh? What's different? Is it more handsome and cooler? Or more graceful?" Sean asked jokingly, and then hugged him lightly.

    About Sean and "My Big Greek Wedding", thanks to the help of the New York Post, everyone in Hollywood now knows that this young actor invested in and produced a A low-budget film of only $5 million, it has now grossed close to $200 million in North America.

    Although not everyone understands the tricks in the ledger, the huge box office and the cost given can be seen at a glance, the movie must be profitable. And those who understand the tricks know better how much profit such a low-cost, high-box-office movie can bring. To be honest, many people's production companies have been established for five or six years, and this movie may not be profitable. many.

    So, even though the public only knew that Sean made a high-ticket movie as a budding actor, and the enthusiasm soon turned elsewhere, Hollywood circles began to have a lot of love for this young man Look differently. Still the same sentence, whoever brings benefits will be sought after, and it is no wonder that Thornton will be more affectionate when they meet again in a few months.

    "Hey Angie, this is Sean, Sean, this is Angie." Thornton then introduced his wife.

    "Nice to meet you, Angelina Jolie... um... ma'am?" Sean hesitated.

    "Just call me Angie, nice to meet you too, Sean." Julie, who has never been seen on the set of "Perfect Thief", but who appeared here stretched out her hand with a smile on her face Come.

    Looking at the intimacy between her and Thornton, it was obviously the time for a deep love-although thanks to Jennifer and Pete, Sean remembered that they divorced in 2002. The vial containing each other's blood was also very prominently hanging on Julie's chest, flickering, and it was hard not to notice.

      Imperceptible wrinkles.

    But those thick, sensual lips are really sexy, maybe it will be very refreshing to blow... Sean, who realized that his thoughts were a little biased, quickly controlled his emotions and had a fight with Julie After greeting, he turned his attention to Thornton again, even though the woman looked at herself with interest.

    "Speaking of which, you asked me to play this role, isn't it because of that joke on the set of "The Perfect Thief"?" After chatting a few more words, Sean asked.

    "Does it matter?" Thornton asked rhetorically.

    "It looks like it is." Sean sighed immediately, "I never knew you would be so competitive."

    "If we don't want to win, then why should we compete?" Seeing that he was seen through so easily, Thornton simply spread his hands, "So, you have to do your best, Sean, I But it took a lot of money, since Bruce said that we are suitable for playing father and son, then give him a period."

      Sean wanted to say this, but seeing that Thornton was on the rise, and this role was indeed very suitable for Sean's appetite, so he didn't say much.

    Speaking of which, "Sniper Phone Booth" also seems to be scheduled for late October. I don't know if there will be a conflict in the schedule at that time. However, he is only a supporting role in "Perfect Thief", and is a complete protagonist in "Sniper Phone Booth", so there should be no diversion.

    In this way, the "Eleven Arhats" at the end of the year and the long-awaited "Lord of the Rings" premiere, plus the "Death Illusion" that has been released but will soon be offline, There are five films released this year. If "Dance of Death Row" hits the Oscars this year, then there are six films, which can be regarded as one of the few in Hollywood, right? It's a pity that if all the other films were released this year, I would be truly unique.

     Put away his fantasies, and after greeting Thornton and the crew, Sean watched from the sidelines immediately. He just came to report, and even if there is any role, it will be tomorrow. He just took this opportunity to take a closer look at the filming of the crew and prepare for his role, although he has read the script several times before coming.

    Then, he soon discovered that Angelina Jolie, who never showed up during the filming of "The Perfect Thief" - at least Sean didn't see it - went to "Dance on Death Row" "The reason why the crew came to visit the class.
