After the launch of the "Weekend Night Fanatic" project, Ye Jin did not pay much attention.

Because he thought this movie was just a small project and it would be good to recover the cost, he didn't think about making money on it, so he still focused on the filming of "Dragon Hard Boy 2".

In addition, April is also the tax payment season for Asiatica. Ye Jin also needs to discuss the tax payment with his financial advisor.

Last year, Myth Film received a large dividend of nearly 100 million US dollars in three movies, "Dragon Hard Boy", "Rocky" and "Ghost Street". At the end of March this year, it received an overseas dividend of more than 30 million US dollars.

This is a considerable amount of income. If you pay the full amount of tax without evading taxes, Ye Jin will have to pay a huge sum of more than 20 million US dollars.

In addition, Ye Jin's personal income also requires taxes, including movie pay, record income, endorsement income, etc. The Warner Manor he purchased also requires property taxes every year.

The reason why Jack Warner's descendants wanted to sell Warner Manor was because after Jack Warner's death, it was difficult for them to afford nearly $100,000 in property taxes per year, as well as hundreds of thousands of dollars in repairs, security fees, and servant salaries.

In addition, Lin Qingxia also needs to pay taxes, her movie pay, her record royalties... so there are still many things to do.

However, given that Ye Jin is now a big client of Goldman Sachs Investment Bank and has handed over the 90 million US dollars to them, Goldman Sachs Investment Bank has also reciprocated. In addition to Yalishanzhuo, there are five accountants who help Ye Jin manage his finances and calculate tax filings.

The six of them now live in Warner Manor, and their daily job is to calculate accounts. This work is very complicated and profound. Ye Jin can't even understand his junior college degree, let alone be able to participate in it.

However, he still insists on watching and remembering it carefully every day. Because in Hollywood, there are many celebrities who have been cheated by financial consultants.

For example, Dana Jaakito, who served as a financial advisor to Leonardo DiCaprio, Cameron Diaz, and Matt Damon, and he swallowed up a huge sum of tens of millions of dollars from the client;

After Nicholas Cage went bankrupt, he also accused his financial adviser Samuel Levine of taking advantage of his position to cheat millions of dollars away.

Johnny Depp also accused his financial management company TMG of not taking good care of his finances, causing him to lose tens of millions of dollars in property, making him on the verge of bankruptcy.

In the movie "National Treasure 2", Riley Poole, played by Justin Barca, also remitted money to a non-existent country because he believed in the tax avoidance advice of his financial adviser, resulting in his money being cheated.

Therefore, Ye Jin really can't be careless about these financial consultants.

Otherwise, if someone makes a little move on the account, he will face significant losses. Even the hard work of the past few years has been gone.

Therefore, when Ye Jin checked the accounts, he always looked around and asked if he didn't understand. Any documents that needed to be signed were confirmed repeatedly before writing them.

There are many examples of financial consultants, agents, bad friends, etc. in Hollywood. After the celebrity is drunk, he takes a large stack of documents and asks him to sign for it, and cheats him in it, making the celebrity cheat.

"Rare Out of Compton", a biographical movie of the famous hip-hop group n·w·a·, there is a plot where an agent cheated him of signing a check while he was drunk.

Finally, after some busy schedule, Ye Jin completed the tax filing work.

Because of tax avoidance measures, his income of hundreds of millions of dollars and the part he needs to pay taxes is less than two million dollars.

Among them, the tax avoidance measures are that Myth Film is registered on the British Viking Island, so its taxes are not authorized to be involved in the Asia-Merica Taxation Bureau; personal income is converted into corporate income, and Ye Jin will sell all the copyrights of the songs to Myth Film. At that time, the one who collects the royalties will be Myth Film, because its registered place is overseas, so the income can also be avoided.

In the end, Ye Jin and Lin Qingxia only had to pay 980,000 US dollars for revenue of 130 million US dollars, and the average tax rate was less than one percent, which can be said to be quite cost-effective.

Although the Asia-Merica Taxation Bureau has long been eyeing Ye Jin and knows that he is a big fat sheep. When he learned that he made more than 100 million US dollars last year, he only paid 980,000 US dollars in taxes, he couldn't help but be ready to bring him to justice.

You should know that the Asia-Merica Taxation Bureau has its own armed forces and is quite powerful. Back then, the famous Chicago godfather Al Capone was arrested by the Taxation Bureau for tax evasion.

However, the Taxation Bureau reviewed Ye Jin's tax return for a long time, but in the end he had to let him go because his tax avoidance measures were legal and it was difficult to find loopholes.

In fact, Ye Jin is not a big tax avoider. Multinational companies like Walmart, KFC, Coca-Keep, and Procter & Gamble are real big tax avoiders. Their tax avoidance amounts are as high as billions or even tens of billions of dollars.

In comparison, Ye Jin can only be considered a small fuss.

...

After the tax filing season ended, the filming of "Dragon Hard Boy 2" also came to an end.

The film started shooting in early March and now in early May, the filming has been relatively fast in the past two months.

The reason for this is that the actors have a more tacit understanding. Like Ye Jin, Cheng Long, Yuan Biao, Dong Wei, etc., they are all excellent action actors. It is not difficult to complete those fighting scenes at all. They can almost get through at one point, and they can achieve the effect after shooting three or four times.

Unlike last time, they worked with artists from America. They are not proficient in shooting action scenes, and often have to go through a long period of time, which invisibly slows down the shooting progress.

Second, the preliminary preparations were sufficient. The storyboards were drawn in advance so that photographers, lighting artists, actors, etc. could clearly see the director's intentions at a glance, thus saving a lot of time.

On May 10, "Dragon Hard Boy 2" was officially completed.

Cheng Long, Yuan Biao, Dong Wei, Zhao Yazhi, Shi Jian, Zeng Qian and others also returned to Xiangjiang.

Before leaving, Ye Jin held a farewell party at Warner Manor.

"Along, Abiao, Awei, how do you feel when you come to Hollywood to film?" Ye Jin asked with a smile while drinking beer.

"I feel like I have learned a lot." Cheng Long thought for a while, "Hollywood is completely different from us. We are very busy and rushed to film. It is normal to not finish work for two or three days after the filming is turned on. But here, we only work eight hours a day, which is much easier."

"Although the work is not tiring every day, because they are professional enough, their work efficiency has improved." Yuan Biao thought for a while, "the staff in Xiangjiang are not very professional, and they often make mistakes when filming, which is not as efficient as Hollywood."

"Yes, Xiangjiang has its strengths, and Hollywood has its strengths. I think we have learned a lot." Dong Weize said.
