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

Chapter 187 God swears that I will never reconcile with gambling and drugs!
You know, there are three female stars shooting the MV.

All are in the second-tier position.

It's just that Scarlett is a B-lister in Hollywood.

But they are all family members, and Tang Wen pays them the same pay.

He continued to look down.

【Through the song "natural" MV, I supported the artist Gao Yuanyuan x1】

[This song is currently evaluating its future achievements and influence...]

[Evaluation: B, Cashback multiple: 50 times, Experience gained: 500, Potential: 0.5]

The song "Natural" also has a great influence.

Currently, the music industry is optimistic that it will also make it to the top five on the Billboard charts.

However, in its previous life, the number of views of its MV was only average.

The system evaluation is B, which is already due to Tang Wen's work.

If an average-looking singer sang this song, it probably wouldn’t even get a “B” rating.

[Cashback: (operating expenses + publicity expenses + filming expenses + appearance fees + director...) X50 = 500 million ($)]

500 million dollars!
The total amount is certainly gratifying.

But calculate the base before doubling.

Exactly the same as Fan Bingbing.

Relatively low.

Not as good as Scarlett Johansson.

Tang Wen asked directly.

[System reply: In future influence assessments, Scarlett Johansson's appearance will be more easily remembered worldwide]

Appearance is easy to remember.

The promotion effect is better.

Fan Bingbing and Da Meiyuan are both beautiful women. In Tang Wen's opinion, one of them is even prettier than the other.

But in the eyes of white people and black people, this is probably not the case.

At the same time, domestic aesthetics are more diverse, and there are many people who can appreciate Scarlett's beauty.

However, for foreigners, there are fewer people who can appreciate Fan Bingbing and Da Meiyuan.

Therefore, the cashback base is not as good as Scarlett's.

It seems that if you want to get higher cash back in the future, it’s best to find a woman who can unify Eastern and Western aesthetics to shoot the MV.

Tang Wen leaned back in his chair, looking at the newly added 1950 million US dollars in his personal account, and couldn't help but smile.

This is his personal income and he will not use it to make movies for the company.

Besides, Galaxy Entertainment and several domestic companies are not short of money now.

buy house?
You can buy a big villa.

But more US dollars should be invested.

Tang Wen thought of a few stocks and opened his computer to search for a while.

I also chatted with my stock manager, lawyer, and accountant for a while.

He plans to register an investment company outside North America and enter the U.S. stock market.

The registered address can be chosen in places such as the Cayman Islands and the Virgin Islands.

There is no corporate tax or business income tax there, so you can take advantage of the Americans.

But after talking with Chinese lawyers and accountants.

From the perspective of balancing market access and compliance, the two recommended Tang Wen to open a company in Hong Kong...

Leave professional matters to professionals.

This matter is left to the lawyer.

Tang Wen plans to invest 2000 million US dollars and slowly acquire shares of Netflix.

Strive to become one of the major shareholders and have a certain say in the board of directors.

Netflix is ​​the largest streaming platform in the future.

It was just launched two months ago.

The current stock price is only a dozen US dollars, and the total market value is barely 3 million.

In 20 years, Netflix's total market value will exceed 5000 billion US dollars.

Investing in Netflix has an annual return rate of nearly 40%.

Even in 2002 when opportunities were everywhere, it was still a very good investment opportunity.

By the way, we can also complete the layout of the future entertainment industry.

That night, Tang Wen left work early and took Liu Yifei and her daughter and Lin Zhiling shopping to buy some gifts.

After the four of them had dinner, Tang Wen took them to the amusement park to see the night view.

The amusement park was the one he and Theron had visited two days ago.

Of course, this time it’s just for fun, there are no aerial sports.

"Brother, can you go to Disney with me tomorrow?"

After getting in the car, Liu Yifei lay down next to Tang Wen's seat and said.

"I'm afraid not."

"Oh, okay then." Liu Yifei was very sensible and did not insist, but her tone could not hide her disappointment.

Tang Wen looked back at her: "You can't go to Disney tomorrow either."

"what?"

"There's a music festival tomorrow that I'm attending. Do you want to go and see it?"

"I do!" Liu Yifei nodded vigorously.

The next day.

The Lollapalooza music festival tour has reached Los Angeles.

When Tang Wen arrived at the venue and saw the promotional poster, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Liu Yifei said happily: "Brother, your name is on the top!"

Tang Wen, who was carrying a guitar, nodded stiffly: "Yes, my name is at the top."

This shows that the standards of this touring music festival are probably not very good.

Tang Wen currently only has three songs in North America.

Without even an official album, you can imagine the number of fans.

Under such circumstances, he was actually promoted as the main singer.

After making a judgment in my mind, I looked down and found that, as expected, there were only a few bands and singers in the row below whose names I had heard of.

There is only one famous band, whose name is translated as "Red Hot Chili Peppers".

No wonder, this year is the last Lollapalooza touring music festival, and next year it will be changed into a fixed music festival.

Isn’t this quality misleading?

After entering, there was not as crowded as I had imagined.

There were sparse crowds of people on the green lawn, chatting in groups of three or five.

There were many people wearing strange clothes. No matter how you look at it, it looks like a Shamatte family gathering.

"Take good care of Xixi." Tang Wen instructed the bodyguard.

"Brother, come on!"

Tang Wen smiled and walked to the back of the stage.

The festival is open air.

In front is a fenced lawn and square.

At the back was the area surrounded by tents where the singers gathered while waiting to go on stage.

Led by the staff, Tang Wen walked towards the backstage. Before he reached the door, he sniffed, paused, and stopped in front of the door.

The backcourt was filled with smoke.

The taste is very strong.

"What's wrong, Don?"

Tang Wen shook his head: "I haven't watched your music festival. I'll wait outside. Just notify me when the time is almost up."

"This? Why don't you get to know some of your peers?" By participating in music festivals, singers can expand their network.

America is more humane than China.

A third-tier singer, if he knows a top-notch celebrity.

If you give a little more, you might get promoted!

Tang Wen glanced at the white smoke inside and shook his head without hesitation: "My main job is directing!"

After saying that, he turned and left.

What a joke, there are so many people inside, who knows if that’s cigarettes?
If I stay in there for an hour or so, I might get high from the secondhand smoke!

I won’t be able to go back to my country by then!
Tang Wen is a man with a bottom line.

In God's name, I swear to never reconcile myself with gambling and drugs!
The employee who was leading the way couldn't help but twitch his lips when he heard what Tang Wen said.

So you are just playing around with music?

A musician who is just playing around released three songs and they are almost topping the Billboard charts!
Is this reasonable?

However, he did not dare to stop Tang Wen. He walked in quickly and reported the situation to the director.

After hearing Tang Wen's plan, the middle-aged white director's eyes flashed with anger.

No matter how big the singers who come to the music festival are, they are all very polite when they are in front of me.

Even if you don't come, you should ask your assistant to come and have a chat, right?
Tang Wen, you didn’t even say hello?
You really don't take me seriously!
Even though he is just a music festival director, he has a lot of connections in the music circle.

It's difficult to accomplish anything.

A character who is easy to disgust people.

But after thinking for a long time, he still couldn't figure out how to control Tang Wen.

He is a well-known director. He came to the festival this time because of his relationship with Warner executives...

"Keep an eye on it. Don't let that Oriental guy delay the performance! Not even for a second!"

The director secretly hated the situation: the recent music festival tours have not been very successful, and if Los Angeles doesn’t perform well this time.

I just took the opportunity to pass the blame to that Oriental guy. I said that as the main guest performer, he didn't perform well at all and his singing skills were terrible!
Tang Wen returned to Liu Yifei.

I had no idea that I had accidentally offended some director.

Of course, I wouldn’t care even if I knew.

A Chinese who achieves great success in the United States is bound to suffer all kinds of jealousy and hostility.

Several bodyguards protected Tang Wen and Liu Yifei and walked around the scene.

As the crowd surged forward, the show began.

The opening act was a rock band.

As for the level!
Well, you can tell it’s not that good from the sparse applause at the scene.

Three songs finished.

Each song is worse than the last.

This level is still opening?
The person you invited is not good enough.

After the three songs were sung, it was like a bucket of cold water poured over the heads of the audience, extinguishing most of the enthusiasm.

The second band is engaged in avant-garde music.

As soon as the sharp and chaotic electronic sound appeared, the piercing and mocking voice made everyone frown.

Tang Wen commented: "This music festival was a failure."

As expected, the audience started cursing.

Although, Lollapalooza's slogan is "a gathering place for alternative culture."

Want to attract someone who is different.

But in North America, attending a music festival is itself a more mainstream activity.

The audience's aesthetic taste is not that extreme.

Except for a few people who applauded loudly, the rest of the people couldn't appreciate it.

The third singer was somewhat famous and managed to hold the stage.

But each subsequent one was worse than the last.

Tang Wen's eyes twitched as he watched: They really dare to invite all kinds of monsters and demons.

Instead of inviting them, it would be better to invite some college bands to perform.

My concert debut isn’t going to fail before I even get on stage, is it?
Liu Yifei also frowned. She didn't have much musical attainments.

Just basic aesthetics and logic.

At first, the girl thought the other party’s music was too advanced and she couldn’t appreciate it.

As they listened, they could hear foul language flying everywhere on the stage.

Blame it on everyone and the audience.

She didn't feel that was the case anymore.

The little face was full of confusion.

"Why don't you go back to the car first? This music festival is not of a high standard."

"Well, I want to hear you finish singing, brother."

"it is good."

Tang Wen pinched her ear and walked into the backstage with two bodyguards.

In order, he is about to play.

However, when it rains, it pours.

The atmosphere was already bad and the audience was not in high spirits.

When Tang Wen entered the backstage and communicated with the musicians of the organizer to prepare.

The lead singer who performed earlier was inexplicably excited and didn't finish two songs. I don't know what he was thinking about or if he was hallucinating.

He took out his weapon on the spot and sprayed it at the audience.

It happened so suddenly that the audience who were closer to the stage were unable to dodge and were stunned.

By the time I reacted, American insults flooded in.

The scene was in chaos.

The audience fought back by throwing objects onto the stage.

The band was beaten so badly that they fled in panic.

The music director, who was not drenched, was also covered in tears, his face ashen.

He thought that the festival might not be a success.

But he has a small budget!

The band invited was an unknown small band.

If you don’t pay compensation, the boss won’t cause trouble!

Now that this has happened, as the music director who was responsible for hiring the people, he should bear the main responsibility!
After Tang Wen knew what had happened, he was speechless.

I don’t care if you spit water, but I’m about to go on stage!

The audience is angry, what good will come of me going up there?

I wanted to turn around and leave, but I signed a contract before coming here, and I would have to pay compensation if I didn't go on stage.

The money is not much, but I am in a bad mood.

Moreover, the music festival turned out to be such a mess.

If I don't go on stage, the organizers will probably blame me in the media and put the blame on me.

It is very detrimental to your plan to attract fans and complete system tasks.

"Mr. Tang? How about we go? Just say you're suddenly feeling unwell? We can contact the media and release the news immediately."

The security team has made an emergency plan.

Their first priority is to ensure Tang Wen's safety.

The scene was so chaotic that the audience started throwing things.

Who knows if someone will take advantage of the chaos to throw stones?
Tang Wen thought about it and refused: "Call the people outside and ask them to film the scene from now on."

He wants to profit from the chaos!

Chaos is dangerous, and so is the ladder.

"Refund! Refund..."

Confusion turns to discontent.

Under the organization of some people, the audience shouted for a refund.

The host and festival staff apologized profusely, but no one listened.

They obviously don't have the level of control over the stage as a certain domestic male crosstalk group.

Otherwise, just say that the ticket refund counter is at Yilaco.

Well, I guess a fight would break out right there...

A smile appeared on Tang Wen's lips, and he thought that it was no big deal to watch the fun.

Not far from him, the director of the music festival was busy and anxious.

Suddenly I saw him laughing and I became furious.

Pointing at Tang Wen, he shouted, "You! Tang! You come on stage right now! It's your turn, come on stage right now! Suppress the audience's shouts..."

Where did this idiot come from?
Tang Wen frowned, and the bodyguard beside him looked at the man unfriendlyly.

Letting Mr. Tang take the stage now, isn't that harming people?

If there weren't a lot of people around, they would have taken out their DVs and were recording.

The bodyguard was about to go over and physically shut him up.

Tang Wen turned his head and ignored the man's shouting.

I concentrated and waited for another two minutes.

Listening to the front, the crackling sound of something being smashed gradually became smaller.

He picked up the microphone and called the musicians, "Everyone get ready."

After saying that, he went to the center console and turned the volume of the speaker to the maximum.

"whisper--"

An extremely piercing and sharp noise rang out from the speakers.

The audience subconsciously covered their ears.

The verbal abuse was forgotten and the scene became quiet.

What Tang Wen wanted was this moment of silence.

He quickly turned up the volume on the speakers and gestured to the band.

The band skipped the intro and went straight to the accompaniment from the vocal part of the song.

Tang Wen stood backstage and immediately started singing:
"Will you hold the line
When every one of them has given up and given in……

(Only if you haven't given up

When everyone else stops trying...)"

The deep and penetrating voice, taking advantage of the brief silence, penetrated into the ears of everyone present.

this song?

It’s Natural

Thanks to the influence of Billboard.

Most of the fans attending the music festival have heard this song.

Even though they were still angry at this point, they were controlled for a few seconds when they heard the familiar and charming singing voice.

Then some people started to get agitated and curse.

However, most people came to listen to the music and did not agree with it immediately.

Tang Wen’s master singing skills are fully displayed!

In just half a minute, the unrest that had not yet formed a large scale was suppressed.

But a new problem arose. He didn't show up, and some viewers thought it was a CD playing in the background:

"Liar! No one showed up, the original singer didn't come!"

Tang Wen was about to go on stage. Hearing this, he did not hesitate and strode out...
