Entertainment 2000: Supporting female stars will bring you a hundredfold return

Chapter 114 Father Gao: Brother, Yuanyuan is in your hands! (1 more)
Since the beginning of this year, President Han’s prestige within China Film Group and the industry has been growing.

But he is the second in command after all.

The old director who came to block the door blocked the door of the top leader's office and started arguing with the secretary and staff:

"You, China Film Group, should protect mainland films instead of inviting wolves into the house."

"In the end of Infernal Affairs, the bad guys win. How can this be okay?"

"I am a director and an actor. I want to say something for the actors. There is not a single mainlander in this film. What do the mainland actors think?"

"..."

They were talking animatedly.

The office door opened.

The top leader walked out with President Han.

The noisy protest at the door came to an abrupt end.

They all lowered their heads and avoided Mr. Han's gaze.

As directors who do not sell tickets, they rely on financial support from China Film Group Corporation for the money to make their films.

If Mr. Han really remembers this, my life will probably be difficult in the future.

"Speak up! Why don't you say anything?"

"Weren't you quite talkative just now? Is Hong Kong in China?"

"..."

The top leader scolded him for a few words, and finally made a promise: "Don't worry, the film market will be opened up, but it will be opened up step by step, and you will have to make a living!"

The person who made the noise walked away with his head hung.

They rely on China Film for their livelihood, so they just need to make some noise, make their voice heard, and brush up their qualifications in the circle.

How could he really confront the two CEOs of China Film Group?
Walking out of China Film Corporation, they were beaming with joy and accepted interviews from reporters in high spirits.

You can't tell at all that this was just a response.

"…With our efforts, China Film Group has promised not to include a large number of Hong Kong films…"

It's as if nothing was said.

Everyone in the industry knows that it is impossible to include a large number of Hong Kong films.

But the key point is that there are several masterpieces like "Infernal Affairs" every year, which eat up hundreds of millions of box office revenue in mainland cinemas. Even mainland film and television companies can't handle it!

In a blink of an eye, "Infernal Affairs" was released in Hong Kong for three weeks and the box office exceeded 4750 million Hong Kong dollars.

The subsequent trend of the box office is gradually declining.

Industry estimates show that the final price will be between 5 and 6000 million.

The film has been released in mainland China for two weeks.

Thanks to effective publicity, good word of mouth, and the fact that the film was released during the winter vacation, the box office revenue exceeded 7100 million.

It's even more powerful than Pearl Harbor.

The current box office statistics are conducted city by city and region by region.

The total box office in Beijing and Shanghai both exceeded 1300 million.

It is worth mentioning that Tang Wen and Andy Lau personally visited the three provinces outside the Great Wall to promote the film.

The total box office contribution is nearly 1000 million, which is truly rare.

Of course, Tang Wen didn’t play a big role on that trip.

The main reason is that Andy Lau is really popular and works hard.

Return to the capital.

The roadsides are decorated with lights and colorful lanterns.

The sound of firecrackers can be heard from time to time in the streets and alleys.

Festive music is playing in the shops.

The festive atmosphere of the New Year is everywhere.

Tang Wen brought a lot of local specialties from outside the Great Wall and distributed them among the women.

Everyone had a share except the little maid Huo Siyan.

Even Tang Wei, who was in Shanghai, sent a copy.

As for Gao Yuanyuan's portion, he drove himself and delivered it to her house.

"Come down and get something."

"Ah?" It was New Year's Day, and Gao Yuanyuan's family was reunited. Her parents and brother were all at home.

She glanced at her father and quickly lowered her voice: "Are you downstairs?"

After getting a positive answer, Da Meiyu put on her coat and went downstairs without saying a word.

"This girl, she's become a big star, but she's still so anxious." Gao's mother came out of the kitchen carrying dishes.

Father Gao, who was sitting on the sofa, put down the newspaper in his hand and asked, "Are you in love? I always hear Yuanyuan talking about that guy named Tang Wen. Is he coming over?"

As a father, I am always sensitive about my daughter's love life.

Especially my daughter is so beautiful.

Gao's father has been worried for more than ten years, fearing that his daughter would be deceived by Huangmao.

"Dayong! Go down and take a look. If anyone comes, call him up to have a meal."

Gao Yuanyuan's brother, Gao Yong, agreed and followed her downstairs.

As an older brother, he dotes on his younger sister equally.

He rushed downstairs in half a minute and looked in the direction of the parking lot.

He saw his beloved daughter, Gao Yuanyuan, throwing herself into the arms of a man like a young swallow flying into the forest.

How come you don’t have any reserve at all!

This is public.

I don’t know what the neighbors would say if they saw this!

Is that Tang Wen?
Gao Yong felt uncomfortable and couldn't help frowning.

Fortunately, he is in IT.

He was well educated by his parents since childhood, and he is steady and well-mannered.

If he had practiced sports since childhood.

Now he has to rush over and give Tang Wen a couple of hits!

"do you miss me?"

Tang Wen, who hadn't eaten meat for several days, hugged her willow waist tightly, buried his head in her fair neck, took a deep breath, and said in a muffled voice:

"I really think about it!"

As he spoke, he straightened his back silently.

"Bah! So frivolous." Gao Yuanyuan was both happy and embarrassed.

Based on her limited knowledge, she could infer that there were no women out there with this kind of behavior.

So they are full of energy and cannot withstand stimulation.

A hug will make your thoughts go astray.

"Why did you come before lunch? It would have been better if you came earlier?" Gao Yuanyuan said with embarrassment.

Come in the morning so that the two can go out on a date.

Now that parents have prepared the dishes, the family is ready to eat.

What if I ran away with my boyfriend at this time?

Gao Yuanyuan pondered: Well, they will definitely understand!
"I want to have dinner with you." Tang Wen glanced at Gao Yong behind her.

Although I didn't know him, he looked a bit like Da Meiyuan. I immediately realized that this was my brother-in-law.

"Ahem, Yuanyuan."

Gao Yuanyuan's body froze, and she turned around like a frightened rabbit: "Brother? Why did you come down?"

Gao Yong was speechless and heartbroken: What does it mean that you subconsciously opened your hands to protect him?
Are you the sister I have spoiled since childhood?
Tang Wen greeted with a smile: "Hello, Brother Yong, I am Tang Wen. Yuanyuan's boyfriend."

After saying that, he took the initiative to extend his hand and shook hands with the other party.

Gao Yuanyuan's face flushed: "Brother, Tang Wen just came back from a business trip and brought me something."

Gao Yong: "Well, our dad wants to meet Tang Wen. It's noon, let's have a meal together."

"Ah, isn't it too sudden? Is there something wrong with you?" Although she said that, there was a hint of expectation in Gao Yuanyuan's eyes when she looked at Tang Wen.

Tang Wen said without hesitation: "Nothing is more important than this. I'll get something."

He turned around, opened the trunk, and took out four bottles of Moutai, two packs of Zhonghua cigarettes, two boxes of tea, a set of cosmetics, and a box of jewelry.

As for the local specialties from outside the Great Wall, he handed them to his brother-in-law.

Cigarettes, alcohol and tea are the three essential items for visiting your father-in-law's house during festivals.
Gao Yuanyuan looked at the trunk and asked in confusion: "Where were you going?"

Tang Wen came here today to learn from Fan Xiaopang and steal something from the house.

If Gao Yuanyuan's family doesn't come down for a while.

He also planned to be intimate with Gao Yuanyuan in the car for a while to kill time.

I’m not afraid that the Gao family won’t come down to look for someone.

I didn't expect my brother-in-law to come down so quickly. "What a coincidence! I was planning to go to my teacher's house for dinner. I'll buy it for him later."

"I see. I'll get it for you."

Gao Yuanyuan reached out for the heaviest bottle of wine.

Tang Wen just gave her two packs of cigarettes.

Gao Yong saw it all but said nothing.

I went upstairs first to inform my parents.

"Xiao Tang, right? Welcome, welcome! Come in quickly, why are you carrying so many things?"

Facing Gao's mother who still had her charm, Tang Wen smiled and said, "Hello, Auntie. I didn't prepare anything. I just happened to be on my way to do something. I had some in the car, so I just took it. Don't mind."

After entering the door, he put down the gift and greeted Gao's father:

"Hello, uncle. I heard from Yuanyuan that you and aunt are aerospace scientists. I have wanted to visit you for a long time."

The Gao family is an intellectual family.

Her parents were engaged in scientific research, and in order to give birth to Gao Yuanyuan, Gao's mother's already poor health became even weaker.

I simply quit my job, took care of my daughter at home, and rested in peace.

Father Gao adjusted his glasses, looked at the overly handsome young man in front of him, and said calmly: "I read the newspaper. Thank you for speaking out for the aerospace industry. Thank you for helping Yuanyuan with her career."

He was referring to what Tang Wen said at a press conference when he denied the "Tang Wen Year": the unmanned spacecraft "Shenzhou II" was successfully launched, and 2001 can be called the "Shenzhou Year".

At that time, Tang Wen had not considered this at all, but now he smiled and said, "Thanks to Yuanyuan for telling me about your and Auntie's professions, I was able to think of this."

"That's good, that's thoughtful. Come, have some tea."

Tang Wen took it with both hands and took a sip: "Good tea, it's really well brewed! It must be Dianhong, right?"

"You are so young, and you know something about tea?" Father Gao was a little surprised.

It is not difficult to taste the taste of black tea, but it is not easy to tell where it is produced.

"I don't quite understand. Uncle, your tea is good. I'm not very picky and I don't drink much."

Father Gao looked at the two cakes of Pu'er tea he brought and smiled: "I bought a lot, you can take two boxes when you leave."

"This," Tang Wen looked at Gao Yuanyuan.

Da Meiyuan pushed him away embarrassedly: "If you want to drink, take it. Why are you looking at me?"

"Okay, uncle, I won't be polite then."

The whole family laughed together.

The food was served and the three men had a few drinks.

After Tang Wen praised the food, he added, "I am particularly interested in aerospace, and I would like to hear your stories about it."

Gao Yong looked at his "brother-in-law": I only knew that you were a big director before, but I didn't expect that you were so good at flattering.

Just mention whatever the old man wants to talk about, right?
good good!
cough,
learned.

Gao's mother looked at her daughter and smiled happily: Xiao Tang has achieved so much, and she says this because she cares about her daughter.

Father Gao didn't take it seriously: "Do you know anything about aerospace?"

He didn't expect Tang Wen to answer and was about to tell a few stories about what happened in the institute.

Unexpectedly, the boy opposite nodded: "I am a half-enthusiast in aviation knowledge."

"Really?"

Gao's parents were surprised.

I'm not just saying "audiophiles" casually, they are basically the ceiling among ordinary people.

Gao Yuanyuan pursed her red lips and thought for a moment, then quickly chimed in: "Yes, Dad, Tang Wen has written science fiction novels."

Father Gao immediately became interested and started discussing it with Tang Wen.

Tang Wen has experienced an era of information explosion.

By that time, the country was already a space power.

Many of the ideas he expressed surprised Gao's father, a professional.

“Is it possible to make rockets recyclable and reused?”

“Can low-orbit satellites form a network by sheer numbers?”

"..."

Father Gao's eyes lit up when he heard this.

After chatting for a while, Tang Wen raised his glass and said, "You are really knowledgeable. I want to write hard science fiction in the future! I will definitely invite you to be my consultant."

Father Gao also raised his glass, smiling broadly, and looked at Tang Wen with eyes full of recognition and appreciation:

“Xiao Tang, you are a director with feelings!
I look forward to seeing the space and science fiction movies you direct!"

"Yes, uncle, aunt, I will definitely make it when the film industry matures a little more!"

It turned out that Gao's mother was also an aerospace worker. She was also very excited at this moment and simply raised her glass of wine.

The three cups clinked together, making a crisp sound.

Gao Yong: Well, you three are quite harmonious.

Looks like a family...

I understand. I understand.

I have to find a father-in-law who works in IT in the future!
Gao Yong, an IT person and a top student, is good at drawing inferences from one example.

Father and mother Gao, both astronauts, meet Tang Wen, a science fiction writer with solid knowledge and creative ideas.

I suddenly felt like I had found a close friend.

Even the slight resentment she had about him kidnapping her daughter disappeared.

After all, this guy is very outstanding. Not only can he be helpful to Yuanyuan in the future, but he also knows a lot about aerospace.

I want to make movies in the future.

Being abducted by him is better than being abducted by someone else, right?
A thousand cups of wine are less than a confidant.

The two chatted about space stories, drinking one cup after another.

Before I knew it, two bottles of Moutai were empty.

Seeing this, Gao Yong, who was standing by, stopped drinking early.

Otherwise, all three of them would be drunk and my sister and mother wouldn’t be able to lift them up.

Two or three hours passed.

Lao Gao temporarily put aside his intellectual elegance, put his arm around Tang Wen's shoulders, and drunkenly admonished:

"Yuanyuan is the treasure of our family.

You, Xiao Tang, you are great! I hope you two are doing well.

Yuanyuan may have been spoiled by me and her mother. If there is anything wrong, please bear with me..."

"Dad!" Gao Yuanyuan shouted.

Lao Gao quickly let go of Tang Wen and waved his hand: "No more, no more, Xiao Tang, it's all in the wine."

Tang Wen, who had a physical fitness of 90 points, was only slightly drunk.

But fortunately, he has master-level acting skills.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he was full of drunken honesty and sincerity:
"Uncle, aunt, thank you for raising such an excellent daughter...

I plan to get Yuanyuan’s contract out of her current company after the new year.

Then, set up a studio for her.”

Father Gao nodded: "Well, good, this is a good idea! Brother Tang, three more glasses!"

Tang Wen: "..."

The wine was not drunk in vain, I actually gained some seniority.

Gao's mother and son helped Gao's father to the bedroom to rest.

Gao Yuanyuan took Tang Wen to the sofa, gently fed him a glass of water, then turned around and helped him into her room.

After Gao's mother came out, she wanted to let Tang Wen go to Gao Yong's room to rest.

Tang Wen was already lying in Da Meiyu's boudoir, his head resting on her round thighs.

Regarding the results of this "stealing home".

Tang Wen was satisfied.

From now on, if Gao Yuanyuan gets angry and ignores him, he can come to Gao's house to find her directly.

We can talk about aerospace and have a drink then.

Maybe my uncle and aunt will stand on my side.

"I'll make a phone call."

"Are you still working?" Gao Yuanyuan handed over the phone.

Tang Wen was drunk and blurry: "No, no, call my assistant and ask her to find a good nursing home as soon as possible."

As he was speaking, Gao's mother came in with a cup of freshly brewed tea in her hand.

Tang Wen lowered his head and fiddled with his phone, as if he didn't see her come in: "Uncle just said that Auntie is not feeling well. I think she needs to recuperate."

"Ah?" Gao Yuanyuan's eyes were filled with infinite tenderness. Looking at Tang Wen's serious expression, her heart almost melted!
Gao's mother also felt warm in her heart: This child is really good!
He mentioned it casually at the dinner table. He had drunk so much, but he still didn't forget it. He was really thoughtful.
