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

Chapter 2 Total assets are 21 yuan, and you want me to support a female star?

Tang Wen's college entrance examination results were not ideal.

Before his rebirth, he became a director of online dramas in the entertainment industry.

I was reborn as a senior in high school in this life, so I applied for the directing department of Beijing Film Academy.

With his grades, he wouldn't have been able to pass the exam.

Coincidentally, the directing department of Beijing Film Academy did not recruit undergraduate students in 2000, only graduate and vocational classes.

The current entertainment industry is far less popular than in later generations.

Tang Wen's grades were just good enough to get into a vocational high school. There were 24 students in the class, and he was ranked 24th.

The campus in September is filled with the fragrance of osmanthus.

The freshmen, who had just finished their military training and had a two-day vacation, ran out of the school in groups of three or five to have fun.

Tang Wen, who was also a freshman, did not leave the dormitory. He lay alone on the bed with a frown on his face.

Last night, his system awakened.

[Support female stars and get 100 times the rebate]

[System level: lv0]

[Cash: 21.5 yuan, Potential: 0, Experience: 0]

[Description: If the host does anything to promote a female star, all the money and resources he has spent will be returned, up to a hundred times the rebate...]

[Attributes] [Knowledge] [Skills]

When Tang Wen saw the 100-fold rebate, he was very excited: Wouldn’t it be possible to take off immediately?
When I read the phrase “want to promote a female star” again, I suddenly felt that it was a very complicated routine.

Female celebrities can be seen occasionally on the campus of Beijing Film Academy.

There are many stars among the Acting Department class of 96 who just graduated, including Huang Xiaoming, Chen Kun, Yan Danchen and so on.

If you are thick-skinned enough to ask teachers or seniors for their contact information, you will be able to contact them.

But, what's the use?
Apart from the hundred yuan in his meal card, he only had 21 yuan left.

Not to mention promoting someone, I don’t even have enough money for the travel expenses to meet the star.

According to the [Attributes] displayed by the system:
[Basic attributes: Strength 51, Agility 47, Constitution 44, Spirit 60]

[Extended attributes: Appearance 59, Body 53, Health 55, Temperament 45]

Tang Wen not only has no money, no resources, and no good looks, he is also not very healthy.

After all, the health attribute value of ordinary people is around 60.

"Forget about promoting me. I don't even have a chance to lick a star." He sighed, ready to put down the system temporarily and think of a way to make some money first.

At this time, a voice came from the corridor outside the door:

"Classmates, Deep Blue Internet Cafe is offering a special opening promotion. You can get as much as you charge. Don't say I didn't tell you!"

cybercafe.

In 2000, surfing the Internet was still a novelty for many people.

How about trying to promote female celebrities online?

Tang Wen put on his clothes and went out of the school.

His college entrance examination results were not good not only in this life, but also in the previous life.

In my previous life, I barely passed the college entrance exam and became unemployed after graduation.

He stumbled into the entertainment industry and has worked as a corpse, an extra, a handyman, a script supervisor, and an operator.

Later, I joined an entertainment company and got some exposure to online fights and battles between celebrity fans.

Because of this understanding, he realized that the underdeveloped Internet in 2000 did not have the conditions to promote female stars.

After all, this was an era when even the promotion of film and television dramas still relied mainly on newspapers and magazines.

Tang Wen remembers a statistic that said that in 2000, those with a bachelor’s or college degree accounted for more than 6% of Internet users.

What they care about are national policies, social phenomena, cultural communication...

The remaining 40% of people who go online mostly go there to play games.

Readers who are interested in celebrity gossip will choose to spend two dollars to buy a newspaper and read the gossip, after all, Internet fees are still too expensive.

At the newly opened Deep Blue Internet Cafe, there is a bold banner hanging at the door:
"Play for one hour, get one hour free."

The ground was littered with debris from exploded firecrackers, and the air was filled with a faint smell of gunpowder.

"15."

Tang Wen waited in line for several minutes and spent most of his net worth.

"5 yuan per hour, deposit 1 and get 15 free. But as we said, the deposit is non-refundable. If you can't finish it today, just remember the password and I'll keep the rest of the money for you." The network administrator took notes skillfully.

"Okay, good. How much do you make per day as a network administrator?" Tang Wen wanted to leave a way out.

The network administrator looked up at him and asked, "A college student wants to work part-time?"

"Ah."

"3 dollars an hour, but we don't need anyone right now."

This computer costs 1 yuan per hour!

The network administrator brought Tang Wen to his seat, turned on the computer, noted the boot time, and turned around to do other things.

The rows of big-butt screens made Tang Wen feel familiar and fresh.

There are several universities nearby, and most of the people here are college students who surf the Internet and play games. Red Alert, Delta, FIFA98, familiar pages, and players shouting and yelling.

If you want to play Diablo, you also need to insert the CD into the computer's CD-ROM drive.

The famous online game Legend in later generations has not yet appeared and will not be released until next year.

The screen lit up, and Tang Wen first opened Sina:

On the yellow and white page, there are lines of blue text.

Entertainment
Business Economy
Computer Network...

Click on each line of blue text to jump to the corresponding page.

There are advertisements floating on both sides of the screen.

Left: Want to know your luck in the Year of the Dragon?

Right: You go clubbing? You know where the good bars are, right?

The slogan is simple and unpretentious.

Tang Wen's mouth curled slightly and he clicked on the entertainment news:

Mao Ahmin's Korean concert controversy
China Rock Night Concert

Cui Jian: Keep rocking to the end
Huaer Band: Just seeking self-satisfaction...

Well, the news headline is pretty standard.

He clicked on one at random and saw a black and white photo of a young Da Zhangwei with an afro.

After switching to NetEase, the web pages are simpler, with almost all black text on a white background.

Then he browsed Sohu and Tianya.

At this time, QQ web pages had not yet emerged.

These four websites have the largest traffic.

The community section of the website is a place where people can post and communicate, similar to the Tieba of later generations.

Just read the post briefly.

Tang Wen opened "Hao123" again and clicked on the "Beautiful Celebrities" column at the top.

Gong Li, Zhang Ziyi, Zhou Xun, Jiang Wenli, Tao Hong, Jiang Shan...

Photos of female celebrities who were popular in 2000 are presented one by one.

Restricted by the aesthetic standards of the time, their makeup is somewhat rustic.

Tang Wen swiped the mouse: Who should I support?
We have to find someone who can talk about something, Gong Li, who just won the Montreal Best Actress Award.

Mr. Zhou played the classic role of Lin Huiyin.

Jiang Wenli is filming the Grand Mansion Gate...

None of these people seem suitable.

Tang Wen switched to Baidu and searched for “female celebrity”.

News about several female protagonists of "Return of the Condor Heroes" popped up one after another.

Fatty Fan!
Among the many links, Tang Wen saw her at a glance.

Fan Xiaopang, who was just 19 years old, wore a light pink long dress and a simple high ponytail. She was not wearing any decoration on her body.

The lotus blooming in clear water is eye-catching.

She is worthy of being the woman who has unified the domestic entertainment aesthetic for twenty years.

It's her!
Today, Fan Xiaopang has none of the fame he has in later generations and is still a nobody in the entertainment industry.

The most well-known role she has played is the supporting role, Jinsuo, in "Return of the Condor Heroes".

Tang Wen downloaded her photos and began to conceive the post.

At this time, the most discussed topic on the Internet is the Sydney Olympics which is currently being held.

Then there is the new president of our northern neighbor, the Olympic bid, the WTO, movies, and the United States...

It cannot be said that there are no people who pay attention to celebrity gossip, but it can be said that there are not many people.

In this situation, if the post wants to make some splash and play a role in promoting the person or making Fan Xiaopang famous, it will take some effort.

Thinking about the direction, Tang Wen looked at his skill bar.

[Basic knowledge: Chinese (advanced), mathematics (intermediate), English (elementary), general knowledge (intermediate)...]

[Professional skills: hairdressing (proficient), directing (intermediate), casting (advanced), writing (intermediate), driving skills (intermediate), singing (intermediate), operations (elementary), guitar...]

According to the system description:

Elementary means systematic learning or practice, entry-level.

Intermediate level means you have mastered this skill.

Advanced means being skilled and being able to make a living from this profession.

Proficiency is a level that can only be achieved through considerable industry experience and diligent practice, and can be considered an expert.

His "operation and writing" level is not high, but fortunately he knows some of the cool operations of later generations.

But what on earth is the only proficient skill called “Pan Tou”?
