Hollywood Starts with Animation

Filming is over.

The next work is naturally post-editing, soundtracking, soundtracking, and so on.

Although Wald Pictures is very small and does not have much presence in Hollywood, it still has its own editing studio, with Zucker, who is on the hook, and senior post-production staff. Therefore, the post-production work can be described as extremely fast.

After only a week, the film was completed, and only the release date was scheduled. Faster than Hollywood movies of the same period.

An open life without explanation!

As for the "movie genius Zucker" in everyone's mouth, let it go with the wind.

Cheating is cool, but it's risky.

"Damn it, it's finally done. In the future, I won't ask for anything, and I'd rather spend money to find someone else."

Being able to make Zhu Ke, a vampire, say the word "spend money" shows that the director's job is not easy. "Lola Run" is Zucker's first film as a director, and it's likely to be his last.

"I, someone, Zhu, let's just be a beautiful man quietly!"

Zhu Ke, who was fantasizing about a better life in the future, was suddenly awakened by a phone call.

ding ding ding ~~~

"Hello, Mr. Wald, I'm lawyer Zhang Wei Zhang." There was a sound from the phone.

"Uh......"

Hearing this, Zhu Ke was stunned for a moment, and it took a few seconds before he realized who Zhang Wei was?

Isn't he the tax evasion lawyer he found himself.

Zucker asked, "Lawyer Zhang, I'm Zucker Wald, are you looking for me about a tax avoidance plan?"

"Yes, we have designed your tax avoidance plan, and at the same time, the "SpongeBob SquarePants" and "Teletubbies" you applied for have been registered with the Copyright Office. If you are free, I can come to serve you now. "Zhang Wei said on the phone.

"Okay, I'm free now, then we'll see you later."

After Zucker hung up the phone, he immediately shouted 'yes', and jumped up and kept waving his fists in the air.

Can you be unhappy?

That's SpongeBob SquarePants and Teletubbies! In the children's field, the extremely influential dramas, especially the surrounding fields, are even more crazy!

With two gold mines in hand, how can Zucker remain calm?

It’s no exaggeration to say: as long as these two episodes are filmed and released successfully, Zucker will be able to eat and die in the future, and by 2020, he can easily have a billion-dollar net worth.

soon.

Half an hour later, lawyer Zhang Wei and Zhang came to the door.

"Mr. Wald, today is March 16, 1996, and there are less than 45 days left until the tax day. We have to hurry up."

Zhang Wei is an elite lawyer who is meticulous in his work, which makes Zu Ke extremely admired.

"Don't worry, lawyer Zhang, I will cooperate fully."

In terms of reasonable tax avoidance, Zucker can be described as attaching great importance to it. The legal fees and service fees that should be spent, Zuke will not be less than a cent, and they have spent a lot of money. Even if Zu Ke was stingy, he knew that the commission could not be saved, otherwise there might be problems.

In the following time, lawyer Zhang Wei and Zhang explained tax avoidance instructions to Zu Ke in detail.

Zu Ke still has a clear understanding of these things. After all, he has worked in logistics in his last life, and he is quite sensitive to taxation.

Understanding is understanding, but after listening to Zhang Wei's words, Zhu Ke couldn't help but be speechless.

"Damn the American tax agency, if I didn't do reasonable tax avoidance, I would have to pay more than $5 million in taxes." Zucker scolded.

"Mr. Wald, don't be angry, if you didn't buy Wald Pictures, it is estimated that you would have to pay nearly half a million dollars in taxes. After all, you need to know that most of your net worth,

All from the stock market. "Zhang Wei said slowly.

Zucker nodded.

My family knows about my family. Zucker's current net worth of nearly 30 million US dollars comes from the stock market. 75% of it comes from the stock market. The tax amount is indeed terrifying.

"Then what should I do now to avoid tax reasonably?"

Zucker hurriedly asked.

In the United States, where taxation is very strict, when it comes to tax avoidance, surely some people think it is not illegal?

In fact, there is a very popular saying in the United States, that is: "tax tax legally, tax avoidance legally".

Therefore, legal tax avoidance is allowed in the United States.

"Generally speaking, reasonable tax avoidance methods mainly include establishing accounts overseas, making good use of gift tax exemptions, establishing trust funds and family charitable funds, etc. However, considering your personal situation, Mr. Wald, and the relationship of time, I will The tax avoidance method selected for you is mainly in the form of investment and consumption. Reduce the liquidity in your hands as much as possible to reduce the book capital and achieve the purpose of reasonable tax avoidance.” Zhang Wei introduced.

in subsequent time.

Well, for an hour, Zhang Wei explained in detail how to avoid tax reasonably.

......

the next day.

Zucker woke up early in the morning and contacted a real estate agency to buy a property in the Burbank area.

First, it is used for tax avoidance and investment;

Second, I also live close to the film company.

Although the Burbank area is also affiliated with the city of Los Angeles, it is 20 kilometers away from the urban area, and it is mainly the gathering place of many Hollywood entertainment companies. That's right, Hollywood, which is famous all over the world, actually doesn't have a few movie companies at all today, and they're all in Burbank.

(It's a fact that of the six major Hollywood companies, currently only the Paramount family is in Hollywood County, and the others have long since moved to Burbank.)

Zucker's Wald Pictures, also located in the Burbank area. Zucker bought a villa in Burbank due to company distance and tax avoidance.

That's right, it's a villa.

The two-story villa, plus a basement, has a construction area of ​​320 square meters and a yard of 400 square meters. During the period, there are lawns and swimming pools and other facilities.

A total of $4.6 million was spent.

Of course, Zucker took a bank loan. After all, Zucker is a traveler and knows that the dollar will depreciate more and more in the future.

"Since you have bought a villa, you can also buy a building for investment."

Buying a property for investment is a very risky thing in the United States. If you choose a bad location, you might end up rotten in your hands, but if you choose a good location, it will definitely be a lucrative business.

As it happens, Zucker has determined that there is a place where buying a house is definitely profitable.

Silicon Valley!

That's right, with the vigorous development of the Internet, Silicon Valley has created one wealth myth after another. Before the Internet bubble in 2000, the land and real estate in Silicon Valley became more and more valuable!

Moreover, now the land in Silicon Valley is really not that expensive, at least much cheaper than the Los Angeles and Burbank areas.

For $6 million, Zucker got an eight-story office building on the edge of Silicon Valley. Coincidentally, it's not far from Apple's headquarters, and you can see it when you look up.

(The Apple headquarters here refers to the old Silicon Valley site. After all, many people know that the current Apple headquarters is in Cupertino, California.)

"This building will be called the Wald Building from now on!"

"Hahaha, I'm so talented!"

For a moment, Zucker was overjoyed.

"Ding dong!"

[Congratulations to the host, you have obtained a piece of future information. 】

Zu Ke was instantly shocked. This garbage system was silent for more than two months, and finally the benefits were distributed again, and it was opened immediately.

[News: In June 1996, MGM and Sony Columbia will compete for the film and television rights of Marvel's "Spider-Man". 】

What the hell!

Spiderman!

"Spider-Man 1/2/3", including "The Amazing Spider-Man", and even the restarted Spider-Man are all box office bombs, and they are even more explosive in the DVD and game market, and the peripheral licensing market. billion dollar market.

The Sony Columbia in the previous life relied on it to continue its life

"Spider-Man 1" has reached a total of 930 million US dollars at the box office, and its games and surrounding markets have brought more than 1 billion US dollars in profits to Colombia in just one year. Zucker can't be excited.

If it weren't for the system reminder, Zu Ke, who has been busy with his feet on the ground recently, would definitely not be able to get involved.

《》Sorry, the second day is a little later today, it's really too busy today, I'm sorry everyone.
