Entertaining Children

Xiao Yao's reason for opening a personal studio is different from that of many celebrities.

Nowadays, stars usually open personal studios for several reasons, such as getting rid of the constraints of the company, having a higher degree of freedom, better development, and maximizing personal income. But for Xiao Yao, his reason for opening a studio has nothing to do with other reasons except for maximizing his personal income.

When he was in Qi Jia's studio, Xiao Yao was a very special existence. If you want to pick up the job, you can pick it up, and if you don’t want to pick up the job, you can’t pick it up. You are not restricted by the company at all, and you have a very high degree of freedom. In terms of career development, Xiao Yao didn't need Qijia studio to allocate resources to help him fight for jobs and performance opportunities very early on. In the past few years, Xiao Yao has rejected far more performance opportunities than he has accepted.

After Xiao Yao established his personal studio, there has not been much change in these aspects. The decision to accept the job or not is still in his own hands. Xiao Yao doesn't accept advertisements, and doesn't worry about not having job invitations. He can even start projects with his own money now. Generally, Xiao Yao doesn't need the studio's team to help him with the development of commercial value, which is very important in star studios. What to fight for, just help him do some preliminary screening. The most important task of Xiao Yao's studio is actually to help him with financial management, tax planning, and tax avoidance and tax reduction in a reasonable and legal manner.

In terms of finances, one of the biggest problems Xiao Yao is currently facing is the tax issues arising from the income brought to him by the animated film "WALL-E".

Xiao Yao has seen many bigwigs fall because of tax issues in his past and present lives, and he attaches great importance to this aspect. Anyway, with the memory of two lifetimes, he is very confident in his ability to earn money, and the money he has earned so far can basically guarantee food and clothing. He doesn't take money very seriously. Although this movie has already brought him income and the amount of tax he needs to pay is not a small amount, Xiao Yao does not dare to think about tax evasion at all.

Of course, not daring to evade and evade taxes illegally does not mean that legal tax avoidance and tax reduction cannot be carried out through some technical means. Although Xiao Yao thinks that even if he pays 40% of the tax according to the regulations, he can accept it, but of course Xiao Yao is willing to pay less tax or replace it with other methods.

Although Xiao Yao invested in this movie in his personal capacity when the project was established, and the income was also classified as personal income, the studio was established to serve Xiao Yao. The most important thing for the studio at present is how to Deal with the taxation of this part of Xiao Yao's personal income.

How to do it specifically, Xiao Yao left it to these financial professionals invited by the studio to operate. He originally only wanted to listen to it, as it was for learning, and he was not going to interfere. However, when he heard the plan proposed by them, Xiao Yao couldn't help but put forward some suggestions as the boss and made some changes and adjustments.

According to Huaxia's laws and regulations, public welfare donations, whether corporate or personal, are tax deductible.

Compared with paying taxes, charitable donations can also gain some good reputation, which is obviously a more cost-effective behavior.

In addition, after the animated film "Wall-E" was released in China, some voices of "forced donation" against Xiao Yao also appeared on the Internet.

In various interviews and reports before the film was released, Tong Luo disclosed that there were only two investors in the film, his company and Xiao Yao, and that Xiao Yao invested more than his company. The animated film "Wall-E" has already been released in China. The box office of more than 2 billion not only made many insiders jealous, but also many media and netizens talked about how much income Xiao Yao can get through this movie. Even if the media has not disclosed that Xiao Yao personally owns all the copyrights of the movie characters, and the overseas box office has not yet come out, it is not difficult to calculate that Xiao Yao can get hundreds of millions of income from the Chinese box office alone.

A young star in his early twenties has an income of hundreds of millions from just one animation movie, but how many people in China are still struggling below the poverty line? Of course, it is to donate money to charity. As a result, some Internet "keyboard parties" called Xiao Yao on the Internet to use the money for charity. This means that this year is not the year before, and there has not been a major disaster such as the "Wuyou County Earthquake". Otherwise, the voice of "forced donation" will definitely become more clamorous.

The studio asked Xiao Yao to come out to do charity at this time. On the one hand, public welfare donations can reduce a certain tax amount, and on the other hand, the consideration is just to stop some "forced donations" online.

Xiao Yao himself does not refuse to do charity. In fact, in the past two years, in addition to building four schools in Wuyou County, Xiao Yao has asked Fang Yi to build several schools in several impoverished areas successively, and will also conduct some charity work on a regular basis. Material assistance. But when it comes to using this matter to block the mouths of some "forced donations" on the Internet, Xiao Yao feels very upset.

The core of charitable acts should be voluntary, and everyone has property rights to their own property, which is a basic right protected by law. The "forced donation phenomenon" is actually a deformed "moral kidnapping" logic, or it is completely illogical.

Although Xiao Yao is too lazy to stand up and publicly refute the "forced donation", he will definitely not do any high-profile charitable acts at this time to block the mouths of those "forced donations".

Now the studio has to arrange for Xiao Yao to do charity due to tax reasons. Xiao Yao has no objection to spending money, but those "forced donations" on the Internet all ask Xiao Yao to donate to remote and impoverished mountainous areas. However, Xiao Yao wants to spend the money on those non-poor areas, those who are not struggling on the poverty line.

"It's too common to donate money and materials to build schools in remote and impoverished areas." After listening to the plans of several department heads, Xiao Yao shook his head and said to them, "I want to do something different!"

"What else did you come up with?" Fang still looked at Xiao Yao and said.

"Others do charity and public welfare. Most of them donate to poor areas and those areas without money, mainly to help children." Xiao Yao said, "I want to do the opposite, donate money to big cities, and give money to children." In rich places, most of the targets are not children, at least not children who are too poor to afford education."

"Donate money to rich cities instead of helping remote and poor areas," several department heads looked at Xiao Yao strangely and said, "Boss, what kind of logic is this?"

"It's very simple logic! I'm not doing charity, but public welfare." Xiao Yao smiled, "Public welfare donations can be offset against the tax amount. If I do public welfare, I can also pay less tax!"

"It makes sense to do public welfare in a big city." The person in charge of the propaganda department, a young woman named Hu Wenjie, nodded and guessed, "Then you want to do public welfare activities in environmental protection? It just echoes the environmental protection theme of "WALL-E."

"Boss, do you have any specific ideas or plans?" The person in charge of the Ministry of Commerce, a young man named Sun Minghai asked again.

"No," Xiao Yao shook his head and said, "I'm not doing something about environmental protection, but doing public welfare activities related to art, to be precise, music. I don't have a specific plan yet, but I already have a preliminary idea , and I even thought of a name."

"Music?" Everyone looked at Xiao Yao curiously and said, "What is it?"

"This public welfare activity is called the "Thousand Piano Project"!" Xiao Yao said, "To put it simply, I just want to donate a thousand pianos to China's economically developed cities!"

"Donate a thousand pianos? To whom?" Hu Wenjie asked, "Choose some schools in those big cities and donate them to the schools?"

"Will there be a shortage of pianos in schools in first-tier big cities?" Xiao Yao asked with a smile.

"Aren't there schools in less prosperous places like suburbs and urban villages?" Hu Wenjie said.

"It has nothing to do with the school! It's not a suburb or a village in the city!" Xiao Yao shook his head and said, "I want to put these thousand pianos in a more prosperous and lively place like the pedestrian street, or in a more literary place like the Pioneer Art District. The important thing is that these pianos must be placed on the street, and any passer-by can play them!"

"Huh?" Several department heads were taken aback.

"When I was abroad, I saw pianos on the streets of certain cities in some countries, and passers-by could go up and play them." Xiao Yao said, "There are many such videos on the Internet, I think you may also seen."

"I've seen it!" Sun Minghai raised his hand and said, "There are indeed places like this abroad. So are you planning to transplant those things directly to China?"

"Yes!" Xiao Yao nodded, "In terms of history, our China is no worse than any other country, and in terms of economic development, we are now very strong. But when it comes to literature and art, we seem to have a certain relationship with foreign countries. I don’t intend to devote myself to education, so it’s always possible to imitate some foreign cities and place some pianos on the streets for passers-by to play, so as to improve the artistic atmosphere?”

Several people were speechless after hearing Xiao Yao's words. But looking back, what Xiao Yao did was indeed something that can be classified as a public welfare act, and such a maverick approach not only fits Xiao Yao's willful image that has always been unconstrained, but it is indeed compared to poor areas. Donating money and materials to build a school is much more novel, and it will be very interesting in publicity, so it is a very good choice.

"Then what exactly are you going to do? Do you have any ideas?" Sun Minghai asked again.

"I have some ideas, but no details." Xiao Yao said, "Although what I said may not be accurate, in my impression, the more developed the economy, the higher the artistic accomplishment and atmosphere. If I put these Pianos are placed in remote mountainous areas, and it is estimated that few people can play them. It is meaningless. They should be placed in relatively prosperous pedestrian streets, squares, and art districts in big cities, so that these pianos will have a relatively large utilization rate. ?”

"It's better to put it in a big city where it's more lively or where the arts and culture are more concentrated." Hu Wenjie nodded, and then asked, "Then which cities are they?"

"The four super first-tier cities of Yanshen, Yangshen and Shenyang must be there, but they must not be limited to these four cities," Xiao Yao said, "I haven't thought about those first-tier cities and quasi-first-tier cities. You can think about it and decide!"

"Leave it to us?" Hu Wenjie asked.

"Of course," Xiao Yao said with a smile, "I'll set the direction or add a framework, and you guys will implement it! Isn't that what I invited you to do?"

"I did a Live House tour last year and visited nine cities." Xiao Yao added, "The artistic atmosphere of these nine cities is relatively good, and they have a certain relationship with me. I suggest you consider it. , but not limited to these nine cities. The "Thousand Piano Project" is a thousand pianos, and more than a hundred in one city. Some influence! Of course, don’t choose too many cities, if there is only one piano in a city, it will violate the original intention and purpose of this plan.”

"I understand!" Several people nodded.

"We can't do this public welfare activity without the support of the local government." Xiao Yao said, "After the city is selected, I think it's better to negotiate with the local government department to decide where to put it in the city."

"It seems that the boss has indeed considered many aspects!" Sun Minghai asked with a smile, "But there are still many problems in this event. For example, the safety of the piano, will it be carried away in the middle of the night when it is placed on the street? Ah? After all, the value of a piano is very high, and ordinary people may not be able to afford it. It is hard to guarantee that no one will want to steal it. Also, the piano should need regular maintenance and tuning, right? This maintenance Who is to blame for the cost of the tuner and the tuner? These are not like buying a piano and throwing it away, as long as the one-time investment is made, these costs are continuous. How to solve it?"

"It's still the same, let's negotiate a solution with the local government!" Xiao Yao said with a smile, "Our plan is to cooperate with government departments to maximize the influence, and their local government will also show their faces in the media together, and follow the benefits. Let's take it With so many pianos coming out, it’s not too much for them to solve the safety and maintenance problems, right?”

"And it's not difficult to solve these problems!" Xiao Yao said again, "For example, for safety issues, you can find a way to fix the piano on the ground so that it cannot be moved, and place it under the conspicuous city skynet camera. Not putting it outside a store that is open 24 hours is a precautionary measure. At that time, let the local government inform the police to pay a little attention to those places where the piano is placed, and hang around there more when patrolling. Can play a role.

Another example is the issue of maintenance and tuning. This can be a manufacturer of pianos. After this incident comes out, it must be reported by the media. By the way, let’s mention the manufacturer who bought the piano. Besides, there is a manufacturer’s logo on the piano. This is also publicity for the piano brand, and this is a public welfare act. The publicity effect may be more than they spend. Advertising is even better. Not only can we use this to bargain with the piano manufacturer, but it should not be difficult for them to send some people in the local agent to be responsible for the maintenance of the piano, right? If it doesn't work, you can ask the government to help you figure out a solution! "

The heads of several departments in the studio watched Xiao Yao talking there, their eyes widened.

"Boss, did you plan this long ago, or did you come up with it now?" After Xiao Yao finally stopped, Hu Wenjie couldn't help asking.

"I just thought of it, and I talked about it wherever I thought, so it might be messy." Xiao Yao said, "I'm just offering some suggestions and ideas. How to do it is up to you to negotiate and decide on your own. OK."

"Where do you want to talk?" Hu Wenjie shook her head and sighed with a smile, "Boss, with your brain, it would be a pity not to plan promotional activities!"

"I'm going to do publicity planning, so what else do you need?" Xiao Yao laughed.

"By the way," Xiao Yao finally added, "For this matter, try not to arrange my itinerary. Anyway, let everyone know that this matter is done by my studio, and I can spend the money. Interviews, Ceremony or something, just try not to arrange for me to appear in public!"
