Chapter 282
Since he mentioned saving money, Jing Jian thought of another question: "My producer and director should also have income, right? Can this part be counted as the cost of the film?" Although he was paying himself, he could reduce part of the taxes financially, which was at least a saving.
To this question, the answer is Smith: "Bramble, your idea is financially feasible, but legally has obstacles. Because... you are an international student."
"International students?" Jing Jian was surprised. International students and finance should be incompatible, right?
Smith explained: "If you work part-time, according to American law, you must not work more than 20 hours a week in the first year of studying abroad. You can't work for yourself. But without any compensation, you are an intern and there is no time limit. Sorry, there are too many people staring at you."
When Jing Jian heard this, he felt a little ridiculous. The identity of an international student can legally avoid taxes on stocks, but there are restrictions here, which can only be said to be gains and losses. Thinking of this, Jing Jian had another idea: "Since I am an intern, I will work as a prop teacher part-time. I happened to take an experimental course during the summer, and I need internship time."
Everyone smiled and shrugged. Jing Jian is the boss, he can do whatever he wants. Anyway, he is just a proprietor.
This summer vacation, Jing Jian was quite busy. First of all, he went to Hong Kong and brought his action guidance team to Hollywood. He also had to take two courses during the summer. For this reason, Jing Jian took the experimental courses that took less time. In addition, he had to take time to comfort the three women around him. Fortunately, the filming of the film was not carried out by Jing Jian, otherwise, even if he had three heads and six arms, he would definitely vomit blood.
...
It was June again, and the plane took off and landed at Kai Tak Airport in Hong Kong. In the passenger aisle, Jing Jian walked out wearing sunglasses and put his hands in his pockets. When he saw Liu Kai coming to greet him, he smiled and nodded and greeted: "Brother Kai!"
"Huh?" Seeing that Jing Jian was not carrying his luggage, Liu Kai said strangely, "Why are you doing it empty?"
"I asked you what I can't buy it?" Jing Jian smiled and walked out side by side with Liu Kai. "I stayed in Hong Kong for up to three days. Can I arrange a meeting with Boss Zou today?"
"It's not possible today. A movie from Jiahe is selling well. Boss Zou has a celebration banquet." Liu Kai explained to Jing Jian.
"Do you have his phone number? I'll talk to him directly."
"Why are you so anxious? Okay, I'll call right away."
...
When the lights were on, Xiaozhong drove Jing Jian and Liu Kai to a high-end hotel in Happy Valley. He reported his identity and brought the two to a suite upstairs. Put down the pure gold galloping horse in his hand, Jing Jian took the initiative to shake hands with Zou Wenhuai: "Boss Zou, I wish you a big sale in the movie department and a lot of money."
"I'll lend you a good word." Zou Wenhuai is not tall, but he looks smart and capable. "Mr. Jing is young and promising, and he has already shown his skills in Hollywood."
“…”
After the greetings, I gambled for Zou Wenhuai, and Jing Jian opened the right way: "Boss Zou, I have something to do if I want trouble, and I want some action guides. Don't worry, the reward is absolutely generous."
"Oh." To Jing Jian's surprise, Zou Wenhuai did not agree immediately. Instead, he pondered for a while and asked, "Mr. Jing, I heard that your shooting in Hollywood is a bit troublesome?"
Such news cannot be concealed at all. Jing Jian nodded with a smile: "It's a little trouble, but it has been resolved. At present, my crew has been basically formed and I'm waiting for action guidance. So I'm honest and begging Boss Zou to lend a helping hand."
After being silent for a while, Zou Wenhuai smiled slightly: "This matter is very difficult to deal with!"
"It's hard to deal with?" Jing Jian's face showed doubts. Wasn't he very enthusiastic before? Why did he suddenly change his mind after meeting him?
"I have a lot of action guidance under my belt, but there is no schedule now. I can only apologize for you to go for nothing, Mr. Jing."
"Hmm?" This is completely the rhythm of playing people. Jing Jian believes that Zou Wenhuai will not be so bad, and there must be other reasons behind it. He thought about it, "Boss Zou, what do you mean..."
Zou Wenhuai smiled and suddenly changed the topic: "Mr. Jing, your movie investment has exceeded 100 million (HKD)?"
"It's almost the same." Jing Jian was thinking in his heart. Does Zou Wenhuai want to control himself and want to invest in his own video? In fact, Jing Jian doesn't care about such financing at all. If the conditions are not excessive, he will definitely agree.
"So Mr. Jing is interested in investing in Hong Kong movies? Hollywood is not that fun. If you invest in Hong Kong, you will make money even if you invest in Hong Kong." Zou Wenhuai asked with a smile.
Jing Jian smiled and declined: "I live in Los Angeles now, and I want to try the waters in Hollywood. If I return to China in the future, I may consider it." It's a joke. The tigers in the east eat people, while the tigers in the west don't eat people? Whether it is Hollywood or Hong Kong, investment is welcome, but they will also play with investors outside the circle. Now, Jing Jian is at least in Hollywood, and can still find a way to fight. If it is Hong Kong where the sky is high and the emperor is far away, will he bet on Zou Wenhuai's character?
"Haha." Zou Wenhuai took a sip of cigarettes, "Today, Mr. Jing is a distinguished guest. I will introduce you to some friends later."
He was completely unspeculative. Although he didn't know where the problem was, there must be something. Liu Kai, who was standing beside him, had changed his face. He was about to speak, but Jing Jian held it down: "Sorry, I have something to do later, so I can only lose my companion first. Goodbye."
"Uh?" Maybe he didn't expect Jing Jianke to turn against him. Zou Wenhuai was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and shook his head, "See you goodbye."
...
After leaving the hotel, Liu Kai was still angry and cursed: "Bastard, if you succeed, you will not succeed. Isn't that delay?"
Jing Jian smiled: "Brother Kai, there is no need to be angry. No one thinks about this. Let's take a look at the house I bought first. After I bought it, I haven't seen it yet. Get in the car and tell me, how did you contact this boss Zou?"
Xiaozhong drove the car skillfully and drove into the car river. He took a few sips of cigarettes. Liu Kai said, "After you told me, our brothers were all thinking of ways. I didn't know anyone who made movies. Lao Gui caught a crew member. I heard that the heads are quite familiar, but they are also in the middle. I met Boss Zou through a boss in the office building. I thought, if you are a good person, it's better to avoid doing anything in the world, or contact Boss Zou directly. Unexpectedly...? Fuck!"
