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

Chapter 136: Famous Golden Statue Scene, Who is More Shameless? (Subscribe)

Objectively speaking.

Liu Ye and Hu Jun performed well.

But the subject matter of "Lan Yu" is somewhat tricky.

Tang Wen didn't like it very much.

As he was thinking, the award presenter Mei Yanfang suddenly came to him on the stage.

"Why don't we ask someone here to make a prediction?"

Liang Jiahui, who was also the award presenter, said: "Okay, okay"

"Director Tang Wen, who do you think will win the award?"

Someone handed him the microphone, but Tang Wen didn't stand up. He sat down and replied, "Are you kidding me, Mei Jie? I'm the investor of Infernal Affairs, so of course I want Andy Lau and Tony Leung to win the award!"

Mei Yanfang laughed: "But there are two of them, and there is only one Best Actor award. How do we divide it?"

Tang Wen: "I don't know how to tell the difference, right?"

"Yes"

Tang Wen waved: "Come on, Jiahui, give me the trophy, I will teach you how to divide it."

"Okay, Director Tang."

Liang Jiahui picked up the trophy and was about to leave the stage, but was stopped by Mei Yanfang: "Hey! Please press the button, Director Tang is lying to you, do you know that? If you take it, he will not give it back to you."

The audience burst into laughter.

Several candidates with nervous expressions couldn't help but curl their lips.

The Best Actor award is the main attraction of the award ceremony, so there will definitely be some hype to ensure ratings.

Liang Jiahui smiled and explained: "I know, but Director Tang gave me a lot of roles in Infernal Affairs 2! Of course I have to listen to him!"

"Wow, you guy. No wonder you always get good roles." Mei Yanfang pointed at him speechlessly.

There was another burst of laughter from the audience.

Even several Best Actor candidates shook their heads and laughed.

"Alright, no more trouble, Sister Mei, make the official announcement."

"Okay, the winner of the 21st Academy Awards for Best Actor is——"

"Ordinary Friends - Stephen Chow!"

"Wow"

There was a burst of cheers from the audience.

Tang Wen shook his head. The actors confronted each other head-on, and "Infernal Affairs" was defeated.

This was also the only time that Stephen Chow won the Best Actor Award at the Academy Awards.

Everyone was about to applaud.

Unexpectedly, I heard Liang Jiahui on the stage shouting: "Don't worry, there is another one, Liang Chiuwei from "Infernal Affairs"!"

"Congratulations to both of you!"

wow——

The audience was in an uproar.

Double yolks are rare at the Academy Awards.

The last time was in 1983, when it was the second award ceremony and the various rules were not yet perfect.

The Best Actor awards were given to Sammo Hung and Mak Ka-ying.

But no matter what, the value is still there.

Few people present could match the acting skills displayed by Stephen Chow and Leung Chiu-wai in the two films.

Everyone stood up and applauded. Tang Wen hugged Liang Chaowei, then turned around and patted Andy Lau, who had a wry smile on his face.

He was nominated twice for Best Actor this year.

A movie called Infernal Affairs

A film called "Slimming Men and Women"

As a result, no one got a bite of the double yolk egg.

How can I not feel lost?

Fortunately, King Liu already has a Golden Statue Award for Best Actor.

I can still hold on.

On the other side, Liu Ye suppressed his disappointment and continued to comfort Hu Jun.

The Best Actor award has been presented.

Is the best director.

There was not much suspense about this award because Stephen Chow had previously won the "Outstanding Young Director Award".

So, it was natural that this award was given to "Infernal Affairs".

Liu Weiqiang and Mai Zhaohui jumped up from their seats excitedly and hugged each other tightly.

This is the first time for both of them to win the Academy Awards.

They first thanked Tang Wen and thanked Director Tang for giving them the opportunity to direct.

Liu Weiqiang also advertised for Tang Wen: "If you have a good script, you can really find Director Tang.

He can not only invest, but also help you supervise the production.

In case you can't do it, he can still help you take pictures!

I guarantee your movie will not fail."

There was applause and laughter from the audience.

The Best Picture Award was presented by the owner of Golden Harvest, Zou Wenhuai.

This award was given to "Shaolin Soccer", which lost the Best Director award.

Before going on stage, Stephen Chow came over to hug Tang Wen and said a few humble words.

Tang Wen is the producer of "Infernal Affairs".

If "Infernal Affairs" wins an award, it will be Tang Wen who goes on stage to receive the award.

Although he didn't win the award, he didn't feel disappointed at all.

He patted Gao Yuanyuan's hand and looked at the stage with interest, his eyes full of anticipation for the excitement.

Seeing the woman who went on stage with Stephen Chow, Gao Yuanyuan asked about her identity.

Tang Wen smiled and said, "The wife of Mr. Lin from Huanyu International, an investor."

Stephen Chow held a small note, simply thanked a few people, and ended his speech.

Mrs. Lin took out a whole sheet of A4 paper and said to the microphone:
"...Mr. Zhou came to seek investment, and my husband agreed immediately. At that time, some people said that my husband was stupid..."

Tang Wen turned to look at the president and his wife, both of whom looked very unhappy.

The voice on the stage continued: "...I always believe that justice is in the hearts of the people! Truth will last forever!"

There was applause from the audience, but many people's eyes revealed deeper meanings.

Mr. and Mrs. Xiang's faces were ashen, without a trace of smile.

Speaking of which, before the filming of "Shaolin Soccer", the Xiang family banned Stephen Chow.

It is said that the word has been spread that anyone who dares to invest in Zhou is against them.

Then the CEO of One World invested in this movie, which grossed 6000 million Hong Kong dollars, breaking the record and winning the Best Picture award today.

Under this premise, Mrs. Lin’s two sentences are basically a slap in the face.

She finished.

The host Zeng Zhiwei quickly took over the conversation and quickly invited the person in charge of the Academy Awards to come on stage, thus ending this year's awards ceremony.

At the cocktail party.

Tang Wen gave Gao Yuanyuan some general knowledge, and she shook her head slightly: "Hong Kong is not a big place, and there are not many people. I didn't expect there would be so many right and wrongs."

"It's because the circle is small that there are right and wrong."

At this time, someone came over and the two of them kept silent.

"Director Tang Wen, Miss Gao Yuanyuan."

Lin Jiaxin, who won the Best Newcomer Award, came over to toast.

Although both are Jiaxin, the older Miss Hong Kong champion Li Jiaxin is more in line with Tang Wen’s aesthetic and is more famous.

People toasted one after another.

I don’t know if it’s because of Tang Wenhua’s reputation, but almost all the female artists came.

In front of Gao Yuanyuan, his eyes were still full of admiration for Director Tang.

Compared to Tang Wen's popularity, the two award presenters Feng Xiaogang and Zhao Gege were much less popular.

Occasionally a few people came over to toast, and the rest of the time, they stayed with Hu Jun and Liu Ye.

"There are so many beautiful women in Hong Kong."

The two left the table early and got in the car. Da Meiyu expressed her jealous feelings.

Joey Wong’s Clearwater Bay villa.

Apart from the housekeeper and servants, there were only the two of them.

As soon as they entered the door, they embraced and kissed.

Gao Yuanyuan was kissed until her eyes were blurred. She was completely led by Tang Wen until she felt that the direction was wrong:
"Oh, no, that's Sister Zu Xian's room."

Tang Wen grabbed her waist and picked her up: "It's okay."

"No, she's not here, it's not good for us to go in"

"You mean, it's OK if she's here?"

"Bah! How dare you."

But how could a small arm bend over a big thigh? Tang Wen said, "Shh, don't let the housekeeper hear it."

"I do not want."

How embarrassing it would be if Sister Zuxian knew about this?
How can I see her?

Da Meiyu struggled violently.

thump.

They both fell on Wang Zuxian's big bed. Half an hour later.

Tang Wen looked at Wang Zuxian's cloakroom, his eyes rolling, and said to Gao Yuanyuan who was rinsing her mouth: "Dear, do you want to try on Sister Zuxian's clothes?"

"what?"

"Try it on, and if you like any style, I'll buy it for you."

"Well, you have to tell Sister Zu Xian first."

"I'll help you pick two."

Wait until she comes out of the bathroom.

Tang Wen has already made his choice.

When Gao Yuanyuan saw this, she felt so angry that she felt dizzy.

On the bed were two sets of cool underwear.

"How about trying it on?" Tang Wen wanted to let her good sister Wang Zuxian feel a little involved.

But Da Meiyu had a cold face, picked up the pillow without saying a word, and started smashing it without saying a word.

"You touched someone else's underwear! I let you touch it, I let you touch it..."

After the gangster finished his excited "pillow" attack, Tang Wen almost couldn't hold it.

Da Meiyuan had no choice but to provide assistance again...

"Well!"

Three days later, Beverly Manor, Los Angeles.

Blonde-haired Naomi got out of bed naked, opened a bottle of Perrier and drank it in big gulps.

Tang Wen, who was awakened by her morning bite, got out of bed, stood behind her, and started his morning exercise...

The second night after the Hong Kong Film Awards.

Tang Wen boarded a flight to North America.

At this time, Scarlett was performing in a stage play in New York.

Naomi temporarily took over her ecological niche.

Help Director Tang relieve stress.

After all, a director's work is related to the success or failure of a project, so it is inevitable that there will be a lot of pressure.

"Um--"

Pressure is like a fountain.

Naomi's flying golden hair suddenly stopped, and then she fell down limply as if her bones had been taken out.

Wow.

The curtains were drawn, and the warm sunlight kissed the fair skin wantonly, and the golden hair was dazzling and shining.

Tang Wen rubbed his voluptuous breasts, stretched his body lazily, and looked at the azure pool in the yard: "Life is so beautiful."

At breakfast time, the housekeeper prepared recent newspapers.

Last month, the Oscars were awarded.

The Best Actress award went to Black Pearl Halle Berry.

Naomi's best friend, Nicole Kidman, who is also from Australia, was nominated for Best Actress for her role in "Moulin Rouge" but did not win the award.

After divorcing Tom Cruise, Nicole played the victim and gained a lot of sympathy.

But to win the Best Actress award, this is not enough, there is also a lack of support from the big boss behind the scenes.

She quickly realized this fatal shortcoming, and then turned to Harvey Weinstein to fill it deeply.

So, at next year's Oscars, she won the Best Actress award as she wished.

This year's Best Actor is also a black man, Denzel Washington, a very talented actor.

Recently released movies: "Ice Age" has grossed over $1.5 million worldwide, with a total budget of $6 million.

A rough estimate is that the box office alone can make about 20% to 30%.

But this is an animated film, and the greater profits come from peripheral sales.

As far as Tang Wen remembers, there were several films in the "Glacier" series in its previous life, with total revenue exceeding 60 billion US dollars, or about 480 billion RMB.

It is one of the most profitable movies.

Just thinking about it makes me jealous.

In addition, "Resident Evil" was also released.

This series made Milla Jovovich famous. In the movie, Milla, wearing a half-covered, half-revealed red dress, gained a lot of male fans.

In China, infinite flow novels became popular a few years later, and the male protagonists' first adventure often took place in "Resident Evil".

After dinner, Tang Wen took his newly bought golf clubs, got in his Rolls-Royce, and headed straight to the North Course of the Los Angeles Country Club.

The club is a membership-based one, and considering his current status in Hollywood, it is not difficult for him to get a membership card.

Sunshine, fresh breeze, and endless lawns, undulating like hills.

This place is great for kite flying.

"These Americans really know how to enjoy themselves."

Some say that golf originated in the Netherlands, some say it originated in Scotland, and some say it originated from the "walking ball" game in the Tang Dynasty court in China.

In any case, the people who come here to actually practice and play basketball are usually a minority.

Most people come here to talk business.

The same went for Tang Wen. He and Robert made an appointment with George Bowman, assistant to the president of Walt Disney.

The two sides are ready to have a serious discussion on cooperation on "Pirates of the Caribbean".

After the last round of testing, everyone understood that the other party was three times more greedy than the most greedy python in the world.

Disney understood the backgrounds of Don Wen and Robert and knew that they could not be dealt with using the same methods as ordinary authors/directors.

Then we can only talk.

Tang Wen arrived an hour early and found a beautiful coach with a curvy figure to teach him how to play basketball.

It’s not that he has any requirements for the coach’s physique, it’s just that the coaches of this club all have good physiques.

One can't help but wonder if they had surgery.

After repeated selection, we found a red-haired female coach who had a slim figure and not exaggerated front and back.

"Grip the club... push it lightly"

"You are awesome Director Tang Wen, this is definitely not your first time"

"Come on, let's do it again."

Not sure whose fault it was, Tang Wen always felt that there was something wrong with what the female coach said.

boom!
Use 80% of your strength.

The hard rubber competition golf ball flew over the lake and landed far away on the opposite lawn.

"Woo——I didn't realize you're so strong!"

"Good shot, man. You must have practiced a lot, right?" Robert approached in a golf cart with a man with a hooked nose.

Tang Wen sent the female coach away without hesitation.

"George Bowman," the hook-nosed man stretched out his hand first.

"Tang Wen", the two shook hands and then let go.

The three of them strolled on the golf course.

George Bowman had a smile on his face and his attitude was much better than Tang Wen had expected.

This made him feel alert.

You have to know that the other party is the assistant to the chairman and president of Walt Disney and an absolute confidant.

In terms of status, he is higher than 80% of the bosses of film and television companies in the industry.

George: "I've seen your movies, Don. People in the industry say you can be the king of low-budget thrillers."

This sentence seems to be a compliment, but it is not.

What we are going to discuss today is "Pirates of the Caribbean", an absolute fantasy blockbuster.

If the cost is less than 1.3 million US dollars, don’t even think about it.

They were talking about big productions, but Tang Wen was said to be good at low-budget work, which naturally meant he had no good intentions.

However, what he said is also true.

Before, director Tang Wen’s level had not been raised and he could only make low-budget movies.

"Do you know Infernal Affairs? It is the savior of Hong Kong's film industry. So far, the global box office is nearly 3 million US dollars. I am the chief producer."

“Police and gangster films cannot be considered big productions.”

Tang Wen was surprised. It seemed that this person had really put in some effort to understand him.

Is he that free?

Or has Disney begun to take Pirates of the Caribbean seriously?

Seeing that he seemed speechless, George pressed the issue: "Why not sell the copyright to Disney? I promise to give you a fair price. Even a share of the profits..."

Profit sharing?

Tang Wen was speechless. There was no need to ask, even if the box office of this movie was sky-high, it would definitely still be a loss in the end.

George immediately changed his tone: "Box office revenue sharing, North American box office revenue sharing. In addition to copyright fees, we are willing to give you 1% of the North American box office."

Tang Wen was even more speechless.

"Caribbean 1" has a North American box office of over 3 million US dollars.

1%, 300.

What about sending beggars away?

As expected of a senior executive of Walt Disney, the blood in his heart must be black.

Tang Wen jumped out of the other party's negotiation rhythm: "How about this, I don't want the 2000 million US dollars director's fee, and convert it into investment."

Now it was George's turn to be speechless: You are so shameless at such a young age! Who the hell promised to give you $2000 million as a director?

It is also included in the investment!

What a nice thought.

When a pirate-themed Disneyland is built in the future, will you be one of them?
