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

Chapter 177: My good brother is going to be cheated on, so of course he has to hint to her

There are always reporters at the premiere.

The reporter submitted the interview questions to the two hosts in advance.

They asked questions on behalf of the audience on the stage next to the red carpet.

This way it’s less messy and the photos will look better.

"Ahhh, Andy Lau"

"Hua Zi"

"The King!"

"..."

There were deafening screams from both sides of the red carpet.

Not only were ordinary audiences shouting, but even reporters in the media area were shouting as well.

The one who can have such popularity is naturally Andy Lau.

"Brother Hua, please stay." Dong Qing said with a smile.

"Ms. Dong Qing, Mr. Guo Li, long time no see."

Andy Lau greeted the two hosts with a smile.

Over there, Yu Feihong appeared in a black V-neck dress and a pearl necklace around her neck, sparkling under the lights.

She also came to the interview area.

The interview with Andy Lau has begun.

The next person to appear was Fan Bingbing. She was dressed quite simply and had only some makeup on, but she looked like a lotus flower emerging from pure water.

This kind of dress is related to the movie role she is preparing for.

In the first half of the year, apart from practicing singing, I also polished my acting skills.

The sense of simplicity required in the movie "Peacock" has been found.

Zhang Guoli and Dong Qing had strong ability to control the situation. Although they mainly interviewed Andy Lau, they did not neglect other actors.

Dong Qing, in particular, did not even forget to interview Zhang Guoli, who is also the host.

Everyone talked about interesting things that happened during the filming of the movie.

Dong Qing mentioned it again at the previous awards ceremony in Shanghai.

Tang Wen teased Zhang Guoli, saying that his role as the King of Thieves did not seem like an act, and suggested that the relevant departments conduct an investigation.

Everyone laughed.

As he was laughing, there was cheering over there.

"Tang Wen! Tang Wen..."

"BABY, BABY..."

Tang Wen was the last one to walk onto the red carpet and waved to everyone.

He became famous because of his music and gained a group of fans.

But why are there still people shouting “baby”?

By the way, this song has already reached number three on the North American Billboard charts.

But Tang Wen estimated that it would be difficult to go further.

Do you really think that the Americans are selfless and that their power is the only thing that matters?

not that simple.

Does the North American music industry have no respect for its reputation?

An English EP by Tang Wen, an oriental director, easily topped the Billboard charts.

Where can the bigwigs of the North American music industry put their faces?

Facing the girls' screams, Tang Wen kept smiling: I am also an idol singer now.

what?
Am I a talented person?
What a joke, I'm so handsome, why should I be a talented actor?

The red carpet is a little long.

Tang Wen greeted everyone and then remembered a task from the system.

[4. Let more people know you internationally (number of people who meet the criteria: 200 million+)]

[Recognition standard: being called by name while walking on the street]

How great it would be if 200 million people in the country knew me!

Acting in a movie and shooting a few commercials myself, I think that would be enough.

Ok?
New instructions?
[Task 4, current progress, number of people (10w/200w)]

Do 10 foreigners know me?
so much!
However, on second thought, my English EP has sold millions of copies.

There are photos of myself on the covers of tapes and CDs.

His own MV has also been launched on major music websites in North America.

It is reasonable for 10 people to know me.

Moreover, this EP is also available in Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia.

They are foreigners too.

Thinking of this, Tang Wen's heart moved, as if he had grasped some shortcut.

In an Asian country, being known by 200 million people shouldn’t be difficult, right?

"Welcome Director Tang." Dong Qing's pleasant voice rang out.

The screaming gradually subsided.

The host began to ask questions.

The first question is a series of questions about "A World Without Thieves".

The reporters sitting below listened to the answers and wrote furiously.

After talking about "A World Without Thieves", Dong Qing glanced down.

The reporters' eyes were filled with desire and even their ears pricked up.

Wait and listen to the interview below.

There was a hint of worry in his eyes, afraid that Dong Qing would stop asking.

Dong Qing said, "Director Tang, I noticed that there have been some controversial discussions about your company on the Internet recently. Is it convenient for us to talk about it?"

In fact, she had already reviewed all the questions she wanted to ask today with Tang Wen.

At this time, ask the question in such a tactful tone.

It seems that the two of them have never seen eye to eye, mainly to create a sense of reality for the audience.

"It's convenient. There's nothing inconvenient about it." Tang Wen said frankly.

"Then the rumor on the internet that your company, Blue Star Entertainment, has too many investments and is running poorly, so its capital chain is tight, is that true?"

Here it comes, here it comes!
Not only the reporters below held their breath.

The stars behind Tang Wen were also very interested and wanted to hear what Tang Wen had to say.

unexpectedly.

Tang Wen first turned to signal Fan Bingbing, and waited until she came forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with him before he said:
"Sister Qing, allow me to answer this question last."

The reporters were disappointed and expectant.

Looking at Fan Bingbing stepping forward, he immediately threw all distracting thoughts aside.

Calling her over at this time must mean there is some news.

Tang Wen held Fan Bingbing's hand, turned to face the cameras, and said with a smile: "The art film that was officially announced before will start shooting soon, and Fan Bingbing is the heroine!"

Blue Star Entertainment has announced this news, so it's not new.

But it’s about to be filmed, and that’s big news!
And there are many things to ask.

The reporters tried to touch the microphone skillfully but failed. Then they realized that there was no chance to ask questions today.

I could only look at Dong Qing helplessly.

As a top host of CCTV, he will not disappoint everyone:

"Director Tang, what is the story of this movie? Has the male lead been decided?"

"The main plot is family and growth. As for the male lead, we are still selecting someone, but the core of this drama lies in the female lead."

Dong Qing was somewhat moved: "Is this movie a drama with a female lead?"

There is no such word on the market yet.

Tang Wen nodded: "Sister Qing has summarized it very well. Look at Bingbing, she did almost no work in the first half of the year, just to concentrate on preparing for the role."

"Bingbing seems to have lost a lot of weight." Dong Qing's statement was purely speculation.

She had never seen Fan Bingbing before.

Seeing that the girl was a little thin, he said something on the spot.

"In order to fit the role, I lost more than ten pounds..."

This is the truth.

If he didn't know what her future figure would be like, Tang Wen would worry that if she continued to be so thin, her future children would not have enough to eat.

But she is a talented player and is now better than Da Meiyu.

Fan Bingbing finished answering the question.

The reporters were busy holding recorders and writing by hand.

Cameras were pointed at her and flashbulbs were flashing.

Dong Qing and Tang Wen opened up new issues.

"We all know that you are planning to make a Jin Yong martial arts drama. I wonder what stage you have reached now?"

The tone is as gentle as the wind and sounds very comfortable.

"The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber will start filming in the second half of the year. The crew is preparing for the production and the next step is casting."

The reporters below became excited.

So much big news!

Today is not in vain.

A reporter took out his cell phone and made a call quietly, conveying the news revealed by Tang Wen as soon as possible.

We talked about "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" for a while

Tang Wen continued to release information: "The company is also preparing an anti-Japanese war drama, the original work is "Bright Sword" by writer Du Liang."

Anti-Japanese War dramas are nothing new.

But when he said that the total investment would exceed 30 million.

The reporters were shocked. A 30 million yuan war drama?
I really have so much money but nowhere to spend it.

No, isn’t the capital chain of your company, Blue Star Entertainment, tight?
Where does so much money come from?
Dong Qing seemed to be able to read minds and asked at the right time: "Finally, what about the problem of your company's tight capital chain?"

Tang Wen smiled and waved outside.

A bodyguard in black came on stage and handed over some newspapers.

Tang Wen took it in his hand, showed it to the camera and reporters, and then said:

“Facts speak louder than words, these newspapers are from the well-known American media outlet The Hollywood Reporter.

The dividends from my last two films are reported above.

Since everyone is so interested in my financial situation, please ask Sister Dong Qing to help translate it for me."

After saying that, he handed over the newspaper and took the microphone from Dong Qing and held it for her.

The interview process was discussed in advance.

This is also the reason why we didn’t just invite a female host.

Dong Qing not only has a high level of interviewing skills, but his English level also far exceeds that of ordinary hosts, basically reaching the professional application level.

In the programs she hosted later, she accurately translated Chinese allusions such as "Standing in the Snow Outside Master Cheng's Door".

Translating a newspaper for ordinary North Americans is no problem.

The key points have been marked in pencil on the newspaper.

Dong Qing went through it once and called for a camera to take a close-up shot.

Then he read the English text to everyone again and finally translated it:

“This passage means that

Director Tang Wen accounted for 35% of the recently released film "My Big Fat Greek Wedding".

The film's global box office totaled over 3.6 million US dollars.

And the cost was less than $1000 million.

Another miracle created by Director Tang Wen in Hollywood...

The box office profits have been divided... Director Tang Wen is expected to make more than 5000 million US dollars!"

wow——

Reporters, audience, and stars on stage.

At the same time, the pot exploded.

Fifty million? !

Pay back in US dollars!
Based on the current exchange rate of 8.2, wouldn’t that be 4.1 million?

The total investment was 1000 million US dollars, and Tang Wen accounted for 35%, which means he invested 350 million.

And then made more than ten times the profit?
It’s not that fast to rob money from a bank, right?

Is it really that easy to make money in Hollywood?

Even Dong Qing patted his chest and took the microphone with a surprised tone: "Director Tang, it's in the newspaper. It seems to be true?"

"Yes, it's basically true. My company in the United States has already received its share of the revenue."

Tang Wen smiled faintly, revealing eight white teeth.

Earned 4 million in half a year!

Such big news was released.

For today's publicity, there is no need to spend money or ask anyone for help. These media outlets will definitely be able to publicize our business well.

Wait until the scene quiets down.

Dong Qing asked Tang Wen about his investment and film selection skills, and finally asked: "Do you plan to take this money back to invest in China?"

Tang Wen nodded immediately: "Of course, the domestic film and television industry is booming. I plan to increase my investment in the film and television industry. I would also like to say something to all my colleagues here. If you have projects but are short of money, you can come to Blue Star Entertainment."

"Director Tang is so generous!" Dong Qing couldn't help but look at him with admiration.

In fact, Tang Wen also wants to invest in a cinema.

But it’s not possible now, as private capital is not allowed to enter.

The above people attach great importance to movies.

After the interview, there was a show.

Fan Bingbing first went on stage to sing her own songs: "Swallowtail Butterfly" and "Ambiguous"

Then, the movie highlights played.

Andy Lau then came on stage to sing.

The scene was like crazy.

Not only movie and music fans were excited.

A group of young actors, including Li Shuangbing, Sun Li, and Zhou Xun, couldn't take their eyes off Andy Lau.

Finally, Tang Wen and the princess took the stage together.

The screams seemed to be getting louder.

The two sang a classic old song "Iron Blood and Loyal Heart"

In the first area, Dong Qing walked onto the stage:
"My Lady Princess, you two are working together very well."

Princess: "Yeah, we didn't really rehearse."

Tang Wen's singing skills are at the master level.

The princess is no less impressive.

There is always a tacit understanding between masters.
"How did Director Tang invite you here?"

The princess smiled at Tang Wen and said, "Don't mention it. He recently said he would help me write a song. He asked me to go to his company to help out. He has been helping me for several days, and I haven't even seen half of the song yet."

"Hahaha……"

Tang Wen said on the microphone: "It will happen, Sister Fei, it will happen, sooner or later."

The princess pointed at him and said to the two hosts, "See, that's how you tricked me."

Everyone laughed even louder.

The off-site activities are completely over, and the cocktail party mode has started inside the venue.

At this time, Tang Wen's interview content had already spread in Beijing and on the Internet.

All the celebrities who come to the cocktail party are well-informed.

The matter soon became a hot topic in the hall.

"Did you hear that?"

"Director Tang, 4 million?"

"Yes, it sounds like a fantasy."

“You think this is how Hollywood makes money?”

"The stars over there get paid several million dollars for a movie, and some even get paid tens of millions."

“It’s Hollywood after all.”

"..."

Fame and money are the most attractive.

Male celebrities are relatively restrained.

The female star's eyes were almost shining when she looked at Tang Wen.

When he saw Fat Fan beside him, he felt a strong sense of jealousy.

This vixen, on what basis? !

Fan Bingbing is very sensitive to these looks.

She raised her chin slightly and looked around.

He seems to take no one seriously.

He didn't meet anyone's eyes.

She debuted early, played a maid, and understood these people's thoughts.

Feeling deeply moved, she hugged Tang Wen's arm even tighter.

"how?"

"If I hadn't met you, I might not even be able to enter the hall here."

"How could that be?" Tang Wen smiled and said, "Prepare for the movie well, don't think about the result, don't feel pressured, and immerse yourself in the role."

"Yeah," Fan Bingbing nodded heavily.

There is definitely pressure.

The female star that Tang Wen had worked with frequently before was Zhou Xun, who was famous for her charisma and good acting skills.

However, I have been preparing for half a year and I will eventually be able to do it.

Fan Bingbing's aura is not as good as Zhou Xun's, but he is more ruthless.

As he was speaking, Tang Wen saw Zhou Xun standing next to the buffet.

He remembered something, lowered his head and said a few words to Fat Fan, then walked towards the dining table alone.

"Earned 4 million huh?" Young Master Zhou rolled his eyes at Tang Wen.

I even wanted to lend him 400 million.

This guy actually made so much money.

Tang Wen smiled and said, "I'll help you make money later."

"How to make money?"

“I recommend two stocks to you.”

"Stocks?" Zhou Xun never touched this stuff, but since it was recommended by Tang Wen, she nodded: "Okay. I'll sell it when I make a little profit."

My good brother is too stable.

Tang Wen didn't come to her to talk about this: "I want to ask you something. I have a good friend whose boyfriend is chasing after another woman behind her back, and I can't tell her directly. What do you think I should do?"

"Is that true?" Zhou Xun's eyes lit up, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he offered suggestions with great interest: "Who is it? So miserable?"

Tang Wen looked at her and mourned for three seconds: "You tell me the solution first."

"Well, hint, you can hint her."

"That makes sense." Tang Wen nodded and pretended to think about it for a while.

He turned around and handed Zhou Xun a plate, picked up the tongs and started to pick up food for her:
"Come on, Brother Xun, eat more broccoli, cucumbers, and lettuce..."

"They are all vegetables, so green, who wants to eat them... huh?" The smile on Zhou Xun's face gradually disappeared.

Ps: There are different opinions on the release date of the movie "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" on the Internet. Here we calculate it based on the release date in April.
