He explained to Shen Fei: "Besides, this is not the first time that Internet money laundering has happened. Before, there were people laundering money through film and television dramas. We are already considering cooperating with the Financial Administration to deal with this matter."

Now, it was Shen Fei's turn to be a little surprised.

I didn't expect that I underestimated these old officialdom fritters.

People have already paid attention to this issue, and I am still complacent because of today's discovery, which is really ridiculous.

But anyway.

Now that this problem has been discovered, the supervisory team naturally has to intervene.

"Zhou Bureau, Mi Bureau, since we all feel that this matter should be investigated, then I think it's better for the supervision team to start taking action-"

Shen Fei said to Miliguo-Talking to Zhou Chuansheng.

"I think I can."

Zhou Chuansheng nodded and looked at Mi Liguo: "Mi Bureau, comrades from the Financial Management Bureau, can you work hard?"

"Zhou Bureau, Team Leader Shen, our Financial Management Bureau has already planned to join the supervision team."

Mi Liguo said with a smile: "I am the person in charge."

Several people suddenly laughed.

And through their subsequent communication, Shen Fei knew that money laundering has become more complicated in today's Internet age.

Take the entertainment industry as an example.

A long time ago, Shen Fei didn't understand why there were so many bad movies every year in Great Xia Kingdom?

Why do actors get sky-high salaries?

Is the production cost of a film really hundreds of millions or even billions?

And now he knows that this actually has a lot to do with money laundering.

The term "money laundering" came from the United States and is a literal translation of English. It originally referred to a restaurant owner washing dirty coins with washing powder.

Money laundering in the legal sense comes from the United States in the 20s.

At that time, the Carpenter criminal group in Chicago, USA had a lot of cash, but they dared not deposit it in the bank.

The group's financial director bought a coin-operated washing machine and started a laundry business.

When calculating the laundry income every night, the stolen money is mixed in, and then reported to the US tax agency.

In this way, after deducting the tax payable, the remaining stolen money becomes legal income.

Today, the annual amount of money laundering around the world is about [-] trillion US dollars, which is the third commercial activity after foreign exchange and oil.

Money laundering in the entertainment circle of Great Xia Kingdom began in the last century. For example, Shi Xue, the interim head of Huayin International Trust and Investment Company and market director of Dalian Securities, was sentenced to death with a reprieve for financial fraud.

Although the criminal law stipulates the crime of money laundering, less attention has been paid to the proliferation of money laundering in the entertainment industry, making the entertainment industry a paradise for money laundering.

For example, film money laundering requires the long-term cooperation of directors, actors, and producers. Everyone cooperates tacitly and moves towards the same direction of interests, so such cooperation is very safe.

Film money laundering is a long-term process. The party who wants to launder money must first set up a film production company, use stolen money to invest or occasionally accept external investment to launder the brother’s money) to shoot movies.

This film company wants to shoot many movies with real materials, and launder money through the film production process. How to launder?

The first is to falsely report the production cost.

Now that there are more and more movies that claim to be big investments and big productions, do they really cost so much money?

There are a lot of articles here, such as a war drama, the actual cost of building the tower is 50 yuan, and the finances can take 200 million yuan. Anyway, the tower has been blown up, and there is no proof.

If you go abroad to shoot a scene, there is no invoice, and the production cost is even more falsely reported, and there is no way to check it.

Then sign the yin and yang contract.

Regarding the operation of the yin-yang contract in the entertainment industry, when Party A pays the bill, it will add up the total amount of the yin-yang contract as the salary for hiring stars.

We often see remunerations worth hundreds of millions. In fact, the small head is the appearance fee of the stars, and the big head is the publicity, agency, marketing, equipment, leasing and other services that the publicity company is responsible for. Party B will be responsible for issuing corresponding invoices for Party A’s account.

It seems reasonable, but those are all intangible assets, which are things that cannot be seen or touched after they are recorded in the accounts.

But the money has been spent from Party A's pocket and into Party B's account.

At this point, the money has been laundered.

Because the publicity fee is not normal, there have been jokes.

Back then, when Guangxian Media promoted "The True Colors of a New Hero", it spent 700 million yuan on publicity and distribution.

When the film was released, only 11.00% of the films were scheduled, and the final total box office was 300 million.

The producer asked Guangxian Media to provide the details of the publicity expenses, but Guangxian Media reportedly only gave a form with dozens of lines, and then said that the contract did not stipulate [Party B has the obligation to provide Party A with the details of the money]. I bought 700 million, and only took a few dozen lines to my cousin to explain it. In the end, I only got 300 million at the box office. Why is this?

Explanation! In fact, I didn't spend so much money on publicity!

That's why I don't have the details of the money and expenses, because I can't get it out, and I don't want to make up a fake account that can be easily exposed. After all, I have to continue to make up stories.

In addition, falsely reporting box office receipts can also be used for money laundering.

In recent years, the box office of films in the Great Xia Kingdom has repeatedly hit new highs, and incidents of fake box office and box office theft revealed by the media are not uncommon.

For example, "Ip Man Three" was interviewed by the Radio, Television and Cultural Administration, because of box office fraud.

In the case that the film schedule is not high, the box office exceeded [-] million on the first day of release, and several hundred million in five days.

This abnormal phenomenon has naturally attracted the attention of the administrative department, but there are very few films that have received attention and been detected. The cost of the theater chain is about 20.00%, and you can still get 80.00% of the clean money.

The absence of laws and regulations and the lack of attention by the competent authorities have led to the proliferation of money laundering in the entertainment industry.

"Anything like that?"

Shen Fei was quite surprised after listening to their narration.

"Yes."

Zhou Chuansheng said with a sneer: "Our cultural management bureau stipulates that artists' remuneration can only account for a certain percentage of the total investment. If the artist's remuneration goes up, the total investment must be raised. What they launder is the total investment money!"

Hearing this, Shen Fei was slightly taken aback.

After all, although he was very smart, he had been an artist for too short a time before, and Shen Fei actually didn't know many inside stories about the entertainment industry.

This kind of thing is interlaced like a mountain, and sometimes it is really like this.

Seeing Shen Fei's bewildered look, Zhou Chuansheng explained with a smile: "For example, a drama has a planned total investment of 5000 million yuan, with a planned starring role of 1000 million yuan, and [-] million yuan for various expenses such as props, scenery, artificial special effects, etc. They are not willing to spend money. They I just want to spend [-] million on props, scenery, artificial special effects and other expenses."

"Then how to shoot?"

Shen Fei asked with a confused face.

According to Zhou Chuansheng, the production cost of this kind of work is simply not enough.

Zhou Chuansheng smiled: "It was originally a real scene shooting, but it became a computer background synthesis, and the real vehicle was replaced with a toy car. A large number of extras were also omitted, and it was directly synthesized by the computer."

What the hell!

! ! ! !

! ! ! !

Shen Fei was dumbfounded, never expecting such an operation.

No wonder Yang Tianbao used cutout technology when making movies, isn't this too outrageous?

Zhou Chuansheng continued: "But when they made the accounts, they said that they bombed a real car, and when they reported the cost of 1000 million, they said it was [-] million. If they wanted to sell the drama, they had to hire topical traffic stars and give traffic stars The high price guarantees the topicality in the case of poor plot props, background effects, etc., so that even bad dramas will still have fans paying for it.”

"So the traffic star hit it off with the production company, and the production company paid the traffic star a lot of money, and at the same time saved a lot of money to keep in their own pockets. This is why the drama is getting worse and the pay is getting higher and higher. This is money laundering. "

After he finished speaking, Shen Fei was completely dumbfounded.

He really didn't expect such a thing to happen.

Suddenly.

Shen Fei thought of a movie that claimed to cost [-] million yuan in production a year ago, starred several well-known actors, and even hired a top director known as the national teacher as the director.

Although the movie was well shot, Shen Fei never understood it.

It is obviously a movie made by a group of stars in a place like a courtyard, so why did it cost [-] million yuan in production.

You don't need special effects, and you don't need too many extras. Where did the money go?

"What's the matter, figured it out?"

Seeing Shen Fei's appearance, Zhou Chuansheng smiled and asked him.

"I understand."

Shen Fei nodded: "It seems that our supervision team should really take action."

This is the truth.

Whether it is the entertainment industry or the Internet industry, there are too many problems that need to be corrected bit by bit by the supervisory team.

Shen Fei doesn't mind making this sharp blade!

........................

Now that he has a new goal, Shen Fei's vacation will naturally come to an end.

Empire TV and the Huayi Brothers matter, naturally other departments of the supervision team will follow up.

In Zhou Chuansheng's words, Shen Fei couldn't do everything, but he had to make others useful.

Shen Fei privately thought that what Zhou Chuansheng said was very reasonable.

Whether in politics or the workplace, there are actually such problems.

Many people think that since they are capable enough, why don't they do everything?

But the crux of the problem is.

If so, what use is anyone else?

For example, Zhuge Liang in the Three Kingdoms era, he was very capable and excellent, but he had to deal with all the big and small matters in the Kingdom of Shu personally. The dignified Zhuge Wuhou finally died of exhaustion.

to be frank.

Shen Fei always felt that if Zhuge Liang could properly assign some tasks to others, it might not be the result of overwork.

Of course.

History has no ifs.

But Shen Fei also knew that Zhou Chuansheng was doing it for his own benefit, so he agreed without talking nonsense.

"Team Leader Shen, where do you think we should start?"

Mi Liguo didn't have any idea about these, he took the initiative to find Shen Fei and asked Shen Fei.

Since it is necessary to combat money laundering in the Internet and even the cultural and entertainment industry, there must be a breakthrough.

"You can't eat a fat man in one bite."

Shen Fei smiled and said: "I see, we can choose a relatively simple one first."

"You mean, the live broadcast platform?"

Hearing Shen Fei's words, Mi Liguo asked with a smile.

Naturally, he could understand what Shen Fei meant, after all he had worked for so many years.

"Ah."

Shen Fei nodded, and said calmly: "People have already brought the meat to their mouths, it would be a pity if they don't eat it."

Through exchanges with experts from the Financial Management Bureau, Shen Fei has a thorough understanding of the money laundering method of rewarding and swiping gifts on the live broadcast platform.

Generally speaking, the model of money laundering through live broadcasts is basically to use live broadcast platforms and live broadcast companies as intermediaries to give "black money" to the anchor through "listing" and "swiping gifts" and other forms, and finally the anchor will send the money received Return to the money laundering gang, and finally launder the "black money".

In terms of dismantling, the above process involves the participation of three parties:

One is certain criminal gangs.

They are the "source" of money laundering, that is, the "black money provider".Their purpose is to "legitimize" illegal income.

The second is money laundering gangs.

Equivalent to "intermediary agencies", they accept the commission of criminal gangs to turn "black money" into "white money".

The specific method is that the money laundering gang agrees with the live broadcast company and individual anchors on cooperation content, and then pretends to be a fan in the live broadcast room.Use "black money" to buy virtual coins or gifts such as rockets and carnivals on the live broadcast platform, and finally give these virtual coins and gifts to the anchor for rewards.

The direct purpose of the money laundering gang is to "earn intermediary fees". For example, after the money laundering gang sends gifts to the live broadcast, the host will return about 80.00% of the reward funds to the money laundering gang afterwards, and the money laundering gang will return 70.00% of it Five back to the criminal gangs, and finally leave [-]% of the price difference.
