"I can pay the commission fee myself," Kinukawa Kazuki said a little embarrassedly, "I also have to pay for filming..."
"The little money you have is reserved for you to start a family in the future!" Odagiri Toshi also interrupted with a dark face.
Morizono Kikuto laughed, "Hehui, your brother Toshiya is helping you stand up, which means that you are a member of their family, and they will support you if something happens. It will be bad if you refuse. .”
Kinukawa Kazuhui didn't expect that he still had such an intention, so he didn't refuse anymore and nodded obediently, "Then let brother Toshiya pay!"
"Ahem, okay," Odagiri Toshi also turned around awkwardly, "Hehui, you can go to my desk and eat cake. I still have something to talk to them about."
"Yes!" Kinukawa Hehui was in a good mood and ran away with the cake box.
"It's about the Onmyoji series of films." Morizono Kikuto looked at Chi Feichi with a more serious look, "Have you read the script? Although it has not been completely completed, because the entire series is composed of small stories After splicing it together, the plot related to the Daitengu that runs through the front and back can also be adjusted. Someone suggested that we can start preparations, and Min and I also felt that we could start making arrangements."
Chi Feichi had no objection. Odagiri Toshi was also worried about this. Odagiri Toshi also felt that he could prepare it, so he just prepared it. "Don't worry about the funds, it's no problem."
"Yes, we don't lack investors. The problem is that there is no shortage." Odagiri Toshiya smiled strangely, feeling "painful and happy", "Originally, you, Kikuto and Sonoko all planned to invest, and the company also planned to invest. We have already negotiated investment issues with Field Group and Suzuki Consortium on the condition of subsequent IP development, but I forgot that this rumor cannot be concealed, and there are still people who plan to get involved, but it's okay, they only invest in film and television On the other hand, it will not affect your IP’s subsequent development interests.”
Morizono Kikuto took over with a smile, "Toshiya was picky and rejected many people, but there were two that really couldn't be avoided, or in other words, it would be a pity to bypass them. One was Okino Yoko's economic company, and they asked to be let go. Yoko Okino plays an important role, investment is just a formality, the important thing is that they are willing to exchange resources, and there is something that Toshiya has been eyeing for a long time."
"You also know that Okino Yoko's idol aura is too strong. The female characters in it are all ghosts. You have to act ugly when you need to be ugly, and you have to be serious when you need to be serious. We value this series very much and will never allow anyone to I'm worried that I might get into trouble with them because I'm acting cute in it." Odagiri Toshi also frowned and said with a headache, "In addition, this series will take a long time to film. If an actor changes his mind and is replaced midway, it might offend the audience. Even if we sign a contract, the compensation has a maximum limit. If they really want to take advantage of us, they can still afford it. If we give her an unimportant role, the other party will definitely not agree. If we give her an important role, the early stage will be difficult. We were very popular with the audience, and then they threatened us with running away, so didn’t I just want some resources to let the other party grasp our pain points?”
Chi Feichi thought for a while, "It's okay, promise them, as long as the death is wonderful, sometimes death is the sublimation of the character. Although some people will scold it, it can become a classic. Leave those to the screenwriters to consider. If one doesn't work, find two , you just have to choose the best option.”
Odagiri Toshi also nodded, "Okay, then agree to them. The other investor who plans to invest is a distribution company in Hollywood. They come here to make money from investment. They have a very good attitude. I can't refuse. After the negotiation is completed, , I will send the relevant information to you, and of course, I will also send it to Yuanzi."
"The other party doesn't plan to launder money, does it?" Chi Feichi asked directly.
There are many cases of using the film and television industry to launder money.
For example, the money laundering party invests in a movie, and then makes an agreement with the theater to sell movie tickets at a discount or let the theater make false data to show that the theater is "full", and the money laundering party will privately advance the loss of the theater's discount or empty seats, etc. After the box office statistics are completed, the money laundering party will share the box office share of the "big hit" with the theater and convert the money into legal income.
After such a change, the funds will shrink to a certain extent, plus taxes, the consumption of funds is not small, but black money is easy to come by, and for the money laundering party, the consumption can be tolerated.
For another example, a company on the money laundering party spends a sum of money to invite an international star to participate in a certain promotional event. It is clearly recorded that the cost is 500,000 US dollars, but the money is not transferred directly, but communicated through an 'intermediary' , this 'intermediary' is also a money launderer. He will negotiate with the big star, give the big star 100,000, and then pay 500,000 privately through a secret account.
If a big star can get 600,000 yuan, he will certainly not refuse it. Although some of the money comes from improper sources and is not taxed, that money can be dispersed and used in shady places.
For example, when it comes to smoothing relationships, this kind of black money is more convenient.
And the 'agency' took the 500,000 transferred from the company's clear account and said that 400,000 of it was agency fees, and the money he paid to the star was only 100,000. That would make him scolded as evil at best, but the 400,000 has become his of legitimate income, the purpose of money laundering is achieved.
Of course, the specific operation is more complicated and there are many more routines.
As far as he knew, when Belmode was operating as 'Sharon Wynyard' and 'Chrissy Wynyard', he helped organizations work as a fund intermediary, sometimes laundering black money for legal consumption, They lure people into taking the bait, and sometimes help launder money for some predators, collecting the other party's black money and using it as funds for the organization's illegal activities.
The organization's money laundering system is very mature. It takes advantage of loopholes in the operating rules of film, television, finance, etc., and can help others launder money and make profits. Similarly, the existence of an organization will also be very troublesome. .
It's not that thk company can't help people launder money, it's just that the forces that need to launder money are very complicated, so you must be careful to avoid the situation getting out of control in the end.
When encountering unknown foreign investment, you need to pay attention to whether the other party has money laundering intentions, understand the other party's background, and understand the extent of the risks they have to bear.
"The other party probably has no such plan," Odagiri Toshiya said. "If they have such a plan, they will hint at it during the negotiation. After all, it requires our cooperation, but they did not say it, but I will pay attention to it again. Don't worry, And then..."
"Fei Chi, let's get together tonight!" The smile on Morizono Kikuto's face suddenly became ambiguous, "Gather with the other two investors. They said before that they hope we call you and Yuanzi, but Yuanzi seems I made an appointment with someone to go on a long trip, but I don’t have time to go there. If you have nothing to do, you can go and have a look, there are all kinds of girls!”
Odagiri Toshi also secretly looked at each other and Morizono Kikuto, and encouraged them with a smile, "Yes, they are both people from related industries, and the atmosphere is relatively relaxed. Come along if you have time."
He and Morizono Kikuto had previously locked the door in broad daylight. First, they were discussing some relatively confidential matters of the company, fearing that others would overhear them, and then they were discussing secretly——
Tonight's party, Chi Feichi must be fooled no matter what, just to see how Chi Feichi will react.
He felt that Chi Feichi was the same as before, and he was too calm. Moriyuan Juren had a completely different view, saying that everyone was in their prime of life, and Chi Feichi was younger than them, so he was just restless. Period, it will definitely not be stable.
He was really curious as to whose idea he or Morison Kikuto had the correct idea.
Chi Feichi caught Odagiri Min also flirting with Morizono Kikuto, and felt confident.
There is a pit.
However, they have no conflict of interest. Based on the relationship between the three of them, it is at best a joke that is not even a prank.
He probably understands the nature of this kind of gathering.
The circle is not that clean. Among people without background support, a large number of people engage in shady transactions for resources and to climb up.
Rules kept in the dark exist in every country.
He doesn't have anything important at hand recently. Hiroki Sawada went out to play with the kids. He will be at the Mori Detective Agency tonight. You might consider checking it out...
"How about it?" Morizono Kikuto said with a smile, "What kind of girl do you like? Let Toshiya arrange it."
Chi Feichi nodded and said, "I'll look at it then and pick a clean one."
Morizono Kikuto: "..."
(゜ロ゜)
Wait, wait, agreed? Do you agree?
Odagiri Toshiya: "..."
(゜ロ゜)
Report, this guy doesn't play by the rules!
As a person who has just turned 20 and usually doesn’t talk much, shouldn’t he be a little shy? Don't be shy, just be a little reserved.
Kinukawa Kazuki, who was sitting on the office chair eating cake, raised his head in confusion, "Brother Toshiya, are you talking about the girl you like?"
Odagiri Toshi was also scared into a cold sweat. He almost forgot that there was a child sitting over there. If his old man knew what they were talking about here, he felt that there was a high probability that his legs would be broken. "Yes, yes, We just chat casually and ask each other what kind of girls they like."
Kinukawa Kazuki was fooled and asked expectantly, "Does Brother Toshiya have a girl he likes?"
"Well, it doesn't really count..." Odagiri Toshiya said dryly.
Morizono Kikuto turned his head and looked at the office door, struggling to hold back his laughter.
…
That night, Odagiri Toshi also booked a well-known sky restaurant.
The restaurant is located in a high-rise building in the downtown area. One side of the floor-to-ceiling windows faces the Tokyo Metropolis Tower, and the other side has a glass terrace facing the bridges and driveways that lead in all directions.
The interior decoration is fashionable and exquisite, with food and drinks placed on the table. The candles on the candlesticks light up a little bit, reflecting on the glass windows together with the bright lights outside.
The dinner was a buffet. Apart from the three invitees, Chi Feichi, Morizono Kikuto, and Odagiri Toshiya, the rest were the management staff of Okino Yoko Economic Company, two investor representatives from Hollywood, and industry insiders. Well-known screenwriters and directors, well-known male and female artists.
Among them, there are people like Okino Yoko and Midorikawa Kurara who were brought in by the company to support the scene, some who received invitations through their fame, and some who had financial backers and backgrounds and got invitations from other channels.
For the first half hour, everyone gathered together to talk and eat. The management talked to the management, the director exchanged compliments, and the artists casually chatted or joked with the artists. No one would rashly break into other circles. .
After they had finished eating and chatting, the people who had gathered together to talk gradually dispersed.
Odagiri Toshi also takes the girls from his company through the streets every day, helping the girls get familiar with people from Hollywood. Just after he finished greetings, he turned around and found Morizono Kikuto leaning against the cocktail bar with two beautiful girls. The female artist chatted and smiled like a sea king who started to cast a net to catch fish. When he turned around, he found that Chi Feichi had taken a glass of wine and sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, enjoying the view and drinking, as leisurely as a salted fish who didn't want to do anything. .
Being a president is hard work.
He envied those two guys so much.
