Chatty Hollywood

Chapter 76: Money never sleeps

   arrears share, for Hollywood film and television companies, can be said to be a customary habit.

   Among these, it is not simply a problem of making good money. To a large extent, it is because of a very classic phrase in finance-money can make money.

   Don’t mention embezzlement for investment or other things, as long as the money can lie in the company’s account, the bank will pay interest. The income of tens of millions of dollars is enough to pay several employees.

   Look, it's that simple. There is no love for no reason, and no hate for no reason.

   In fact, as long as there is a chance, most companies in the world will play this hand. The reason why Hollywood film companies are notorious in this regard is simply because they have more opportunities—

   Before the advent of the Internet cloud data era, the statistics of movie box office and subsequent peripheral income were basically a black box, which involved a large number of operations. In addition to the production and distribution companies handled, sometimes even the theater lines were not clear.

   In this case, it's okay to say that the price is clearly marked. As for the box office share?

   You see that our accounting staff work so hard every day to make statistics. Are you embarrassed to ask?

   In short, because the share is involved in the box office, as long as the statistics are weak or the receipt of the account is delayed, it can be easily delayed for a few months. Let the money lie in your own account and continue to make money, why not do it?

   As for the accountants who have been shackled because of this, after the big deal, it’s okay to give them some bonuses with the money they gave birth to.

   Therefore, whether or not you can get this sort of thing depends not only on the agreement, but also on the strength and status of the two parties. If you do not have enough means to ensure that the other party will not cheat you in this regard, then you can only look forward to the conscience of the other party's company.

   And the company that counts on the essence of capital has a conscience?

   Classmates, you must have never read "Capital · Fundamental Theory"!

  —Well, in this land of the United States, it is true that there is no initiative to teach anti-books like "The Capitalist Theory".

In fact, even Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, the two later first-line superstars, were pitted by the Weinstein brothers’ Miramax company in the division of the screenwriters of "Mind Catcher". That was after they had already won the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay and began to rise to fame.

   Of course, you can also choose to hire senior accounting personnel or an accounting firm to help you fight the film. Although they can't handle some of the black-box operations of the film and television company, at least the money on the account can still be recovered for you.

   However, there is a premise here—

You have to make sure that the share of income you can get is at least worth the commission to those senior accountants—sometimes even including attorney fees—otherwise, you will get a lot of share on the account, but you will have to pay for it. The situation of looking for money is very likely to happen.

   At least, Charlotte estimates that, according to the proportion of the previous producer, the money he can get is enough to afford the financial staff and lawyers who drink blood. In this case, it would be better to throw this hot potato as a carrot to the rest of the crew.

  Of course, such a thing as arrears division does not necessarily happen.

   After all, it's easy to do a bad thing by yourself. It is also very difficult to think of only doing bad things for a lifetime and not doing good things. Hitler also revitalized the German economy!

   The rest of the crew may not understand the twists and turns, but they are still attracted by Charlotte's bait, which is largely because of the fluke—even if it may be in arrears, it is money after all!

   However, reality once again proves that Murphy's law is reasonable-if something bad can happen, then it will happen.

   "How is the new line going to pit us? Didn't Tony say?"

   While frowning, Old Gun asked Charlotte about a solution.

  The latter shrugged,

   "You and him are actually more familiar than me. You can ask yourself and try."

   "...he can't say it."

   Old Gun sighed.

   Indeed, he and the producer Anthony Westwood are old acquaintances. But because of this, he realized that Westwood was not a talkative guy. Even, the other party will reveal some wind to Charlotte, and the old gun doubts whether there are other tricks in it—

Although people are about to die, their words are good. Now that the producer is about to retire or leave, it is not impossible for the producer to find out that it is not impossible, but the old gun thinks that it is more likely that this guy has some plans. Want to win over Charlotte.

   After all, through "Fatal Turn", Charlotte has initially proved his ability to direct. Such him has the value of being wooed by the producers.

   However, the producer is ultimately the producer.

His **** decides his head, no matter how many reasons he has, as long as he doesn't want to completely stigmatize his reputation in this industry, he can't completely tilt his position to his own group of workers. It is already the limit to be able to reveal a little bit of wind. .

   "But if you don't know the methods the other party may use, you will be passive if you respond at that time."

   Actually, the same is in arrears, and there are differences between superior and inferior—

Some companies will have someone who specializes in this kind of thing. Every day they chat and eat with people who are in arrears, and complain pitifully-it is not that we deliberately defaulted, but it is because the capital chain is difficult to turn over recently, or you can wait a few more. sky?

   This is an emotional card, and some companies will play more technically-as soon as you ask about the share, people will directly throw you the box office statistics and financial statements like a small mountain. Want to understand all of these?

   You have to know that it takes four years to graduate from a major in finance and economics, and it takes four years to become a qualified accountant.

  Of course, you may really be a genius in accounting, or you may really hire a senior accountant at no cost, but even so, if you can’t do anything, there is another trick—

   Our company has a new project recently and is raising funds. Do you want to invest in your sub-CDs? The money is vast, first come first served!

   If you do not agree, they will use eighteen martial arts and continue to grind with you; if you agree, congratulations, you will become a shareholder!

  If you lose money on a new project, you will definitely lose money first. Earn, you will soon face the cycle of the above circle again.

   Regardless of profit or loss, the money that belongs to you in name is always lying on the account of other companies, providing them with the opportunity to make small money.

   As for you?

   Even if you are always watched by God and his elders, every new project makes money, and the bottom line on the books is as long as snowballs, but you don’t even want to see real money...

   And these, in fact, are considered disciplined.

   After all, they didn't say that they wouldn't give you money, and they didn't conceal their income significantly. The reason why the new line company is outstanding in this regard is that it can do the first two.

I don’t know if it lacks excellent public relations and accounting personnel. When the new line company wants to default on the payment, it does not play the emotional card or the technology flow. Desperate posture.

   Of course, the new line is also divided into people. Otherwise, Tiantiankeng people, this company will not be able to live until now—

   In the face of strong investors who can monitor them, the new line will be very honest;

   encounter or high status, UU reading www.uukānshu. com may have great prospects and there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future. They can also try to endure their greed. After all, the current money is money, and the future money is also money!

   Attention, this is already a "try", if you can't help it and count you lucky, if you can't help it...

   But if you don't have the first two, just a trash fish that got the share for various reasons, then congratulations, at least half of you may have been on the whitelist of the new line arrears.

   "We are in this situation now!"

   In the share that Charlotte gave up, the old gun also had a fortune. He was the same as Charlotte, who didn’t care about the money very much—he has been mixed up now, and he has some family resources, and he is divorced again, so he has lost a lot of expenses...

   But as the relationship between him and the makeup artist Annika changed, the situation changed again. Living together with the two will definitely cost more, not to mention that Annika has a son...

   "Would you like to hire a lawyer?"

   Recourse to the law is a method that Americans are accustomed to, but the old gun considered it for a while and gave up this method.

  The reason is very simple. Just like Charlotte, the old gun can also figure it out. Even if you get those shares, the money may not be enough to pay the lawyer's fees.

  —This is even a threat when some companies default on payment. They are not afraid of hiring a lawyer by the delinquent party because it is clear to them that as long as they delay the trial of the lawsuit, the income from the delinquent party will soon be insufficient for the lawyer's fees.

  Naturally, this method is limited to those who are in arrears who do not share much income. Unfortunately, the old guns belong to this category. but-

   "Speaking of which, Charlotte, you are telling me about this now, do you have any other ideas?"

   The old gun reacted.
