Chapter 221 Director Tang's Photo Album (Please subscribe and vote with monthly tickets)
Lvy Garden Restaurant, located in the heart of Beverly Hills.

Lin Chih-ling and Huang Sheng-yi sat facing each other.

On the table by the window, there was a blue and white checkered cotton and linen tablecloth with daisies embroidered along the edges.

A rough pottery vase sits in the middle of the table, with a red rose leaning lazily against its rim.

Huang Shengyi's eyes were always darting around.

Suddenly, her pupils dilated, and she was shocked.

I even wanted to stand up.

Lin Chih-ling's lips curved slightly, a half-smile playing on her lips: "She really is a naive young girl who hasn't seen much of the world."

Huang Shengyi only came to her senses when her leg hit the table. Her face flushed, and she quickly sat down.

Lost my composure.

She looked at Lin Zhiling and stammered, "Sister Lin, over there, over there is someone who looks like Julia Roberts!"

Lin Zhiling glanced at it casually and said, "It's her."

"Huh?" Huang Shengyi exclaimed, covering her mouth in surprise, looking like a little fangirl.

However, she herself did not feel ashamed.

That's Julia Roberts!

Her films are used as reference materials at the Beijing Film Academy.

Her acting skills and her success have set an example for actresses all over the world.

"She seems to really like this restaurant; she comes here often. And Tom Cruise too," Lin Zhiling said calmly.

To Huang Shengyi, that sounded incredibly sophisticated!

"Really?"

"Yes, there are also some minor celebrities, but I can't remember their names."

Just then, a tall, beautiful woman walked over.

Lin Chih-ling smiled and chatted with the other party for a few words. Although Huang Sheng-yi's English was not very good, he could tell that.

This blonde woman is very obsequious to Lin Chih-ling.

"Who is she?" After the blonde woman left, Huang Shengyi's eyes followed her.

It was discovered that this woman seemed to be somewhat famous, as many people greeted her.

"Jamie King, an American actress." Lin Chih-ling remained nonchalant.

Huang Shengyi secretly clicked his tongue in amazement: It seems that Director Tang has a really high status in Hollywood.

Otherwise, why would others try to curry favor with his assistant?
Seeing that Huang Shengyi was stunned, Lin Zhiling asked, "I haven't asked you yet, did you come here simply to accompany Director Tang, or do you want to develop your career in Hollywood?"

The second half of the sentence made Huang Shengyi's heart pound wildly.

Developing a career in Hollywood?!
Can I too?
She forgot that she only had a tourist visa and wouldn't be staying there for long.

Excitedly, he asked, "Can I stay?"

Lin Chih-ling seized the opportunity to offer a rosy picture: "Why not?"

Huang Shengyi was still young, and his eyes were full of excitement.

Lin Zhiling immediately understood: it seemed she had come to keep Tang Wen company.

While at the villa, Lin Chih-ling made a phone call back to China.

After figuring out Huang Shengyi's general background, they learned that he was not an artist from Blue Star Entertainment, but a candidate actor for the "Heavenly Sword and Dragon Sabre" drama series.

"As far as I know, you don't seem to be an artist from Blue Star?" Lin Zhiling casually began to probe Huang Shengyi's background.

"Yes, I'm an artist under Sister Jingwen's management." The newbie was completely unsuspecting.

A look of surprise flashed in Lin Zhiling's eyes: "Jia Jingwen? Your company in Taiwan?"

"Uh, no, Sister Jingwen is with President Tang." Huang Shengyi's voice weakened.

Lin Zhiling's mind was in turmoil. Having worked as a model in Taiwan, she had seen many tricks and vaguely understood the truth. She lowered her voice and asked to confirm, "So, she arranged for you to come?"

"Mm," Huang Shengyi replied, bowing her head, a little embarrassed.

After all, they came here of their own volition.

Lin Zhiling couldn't help but curse inwardly: Jia Jingwen, that bitch!

They brought Taiwan's bad habits to Beijing and polluted Blue Star Entertainment!

But looking at Huang Shengyi's beautiful face across from her, she had to admit that this method was extremely effective.

If things continue like this, Alyssa Chia's status will probably rise significantly.

However, which female celebrity in China doesn't aspire to Hollywood?

……

Tang Wen was still in his office.

The information Robert revealed is very important.

Hollywood is xenophobic, and it would be almost impossible for Tang Wen to gain power and secure the majority of the profits under normal circumstances.

However, he opened it.

Even if the system is not powerful.

But as long as you protect your own interests, there shouldn't be much of a problem.

He silently uttered a command and summoned an invisible light screen:
[To gain wider international recognition (Target number: 181 million/200 million)]

After another month or two of online promotion.

Internationally, the number of people who can name Tang Wen has increased by hundreds of thousands.

In this respect, we cannot look at it from the perspective of later generations.

The internet is more developed in North America and Europe, but it is still limited.

Unlike 20 years later, a high-quality new song that can resonate with people is not like that.

In just one or two months, short videos can become a global phenomenon.

Moreover, the mission also required them to call out Tang Wen's name.

According to his deduction, at least one "Tang" would be required for it to count.

This requirement is not low.

The task of making a name for itself in domestic film history has been accomplished.

We're just waiting for the number of participants to reach 200 million.

The task is now half complete.

This will enable the ability to add more than 90 points.

[Constitution] A new entry will appear if your stats are above 90.

The same applies to other attributes.

Tang Wen estimates that the key to solving the problem lies in the "Charm" category.

However, Harvey's side has already made a move.

I need to speed things up myself.

At the same time, we should not overestimate the potential influence of the "Charm" keyword.

We need to be prepared for both possibilities.

Late at night.

The light in his office was still on.

After having a few drinks, I figured out a plan.

He picked up the phone, called Sun Chao, and told him his plans in one breath.

Sun Chao understood: "You mean, to replicate Renren.com in North America?"

"Not entirely correct, it's a simplified version of Renren.com."

Renren.com was turned into a hodgepodge website by Tang Wen.

It is compatible with a range of functions including Douban, Zhihu, personal homepage, Weibo, etc.

You can't do that in North America.

Once you adopt this attitude of wanting to monopolize everything, the amount of money required is enormous.

It will definitely be targeted by capital here.

When the stakes are too high, Tang Wen, being a Chinese, absolutely cannot hold on to them.

The company might just be taking shape when someone gets shot in the back, riddled with bullets, and commits suicide.

The bosses are all dead.

It's reasonable for the company to be dissolved, isn't it?

Then, wouldn't it be natural for the laid-off employees to be recruited into another company to continue their previous work?

Furthermore, Tang Wen had no intention of properly managing this website.

He plans to acquire shares in the website, unite some people, and exchange some benefits.

Build your own power base to truly establish yourself!

"...Facebook! I've already chosen a name."

Sun Chao said, "You didn't say anything when you were in China. Here's what I'll do: I'll buy tickets and take two key technical personnel with me to fly over there so we can talk in person."

"Okay, hurry up."

The Pirates of the Caribbean crew has been abandoned on the Bahamas beach by him for a long time.

If they don't get there soon, even the good-natured Disney executive, Iger, will lose his temper.

"I'll buy the ticket now."

"Ah."

After hanging up the phone, Tang Wen sent Lin Zhiling a message, asking her to arrange a reliable photography team.

Creating Facebook and attracting financial backers is not something that can be accomplished overnight.

The most important thing right now is to complete the system tasks.

After finishing everything, it was already 02:15 AM. Tang Wen was too lazy to go back to the villa.

He turned and went to the break room inside the office.

It's over 30 square meters inside, and besides the bedroom, there's also a shower room.

Lin Chih-ling had tidied up very well; toiletries, pajamas, and slippers were all provided.

She also complained that the maids in the US were not good at housework and were not clean.

We plan to hire some real professionals from the Philippines.

The next day.

Lin Chih-ling brought breakfast.

Tang Wen didn't finish his meal.

Disney executive Iger called.

He made no attempt to hide his impatience.

Tang Wen didn't argue or make excuses with him, and simply said, "See you in two days."

Upon hearing this, Iger's tone softened: "Tang, you have to understand me. This project is of great significance; it directly relates to my future."

“I understand, Iger. Believe me, besides yourself, I am the person who most wants you to take the position.”

Thank you! I'll be waiting for you in the Bahamas.

Tang Wen contacted domestic merchants in Yiwu to reduce the cost of Disney merchandise.

Within Disney, this credit was attributed to Iger's faction.

If Iger and Donald's co-production "Pirates of the Caribbean" is successful and brings Disney a lot of profits, he will be able to successfully become CEO.

Otherwise, the situation will remain deadlocked.

A chaotic power struggle will erupt within Disney.

"Has the photography team arrived yet?"

"We've arrived. They weren't available initially, so I paid extra. As per your requirements, it's a professional team for photographing male models." At this point, Lin Zhiling tilted her head and asked, "But, Mr. Tang, who are we photographing?"

Tang Wen gulped down the coffee in his cup, pulled out a tissue to wipe his mouth, and took off his suit jacket: "Take a picture of me."

"Huh?" Lin Zhiling covered her mouth with her hand.

"Can't you?"

“Of course, no problem, but they have a rather bold style. If they film you and someone else sees it, I’ll get jealous.” Lin Zhiling stepped forward and hugged Tang Wen, rubbing her head against his chest a few times.

The photography team arrived at the office, and Tang Wen unbuttoned his shirt.

Looking at their well-defined eight-pack abs, they exclaimed that even professional male models are nothing special!

"Director Tang, you have the best figure of any singer I've ever seen... As I understand it, you want to make the film a bit more 'sensual' to attract female audiences in Europe and America, right?"

It sounds like they're selling meat.

No, it's selling meat.

Damn Harvey!
You've pushed me to this point, you just wait.

That's right.

In order to quickly gather 200 million foreign fans to meet himself.

Tang Wen had no choice but to release a "hot photo album".

Don't assume that only people in China have crushes on celebrities.

Women abroad can be even more infatuated with men than women in China.

Tang Wen relied on his delicate Chinese face, coupled with a V-shaped waist and eight-pack abs.

It will definitely attract a lot of young female fans.

"Desire, you're right." Tang Wen nodded slightly, admitting it dryly.

There were three filming locations: one in Tang Wen's office, one in Beverly Hills, and one on a beach.

Three places.

Three sets of photos in different styles.

The office has a cold and austere atmosphere.

The contrast of light and shadow creates strong lines.

Use low-saturation colors to enhance his resolute temperament!

After taking dozens of photos.

The photographer exported the photos, looked at them, picked up a bottle of oily substance, and walked towards Tang Wen.

This immediately alerted Tang Wen: "What are you trying to do?"

It's not that he discriminates against photographers, it's just that a significant proportion of people in their profession have certain sexual orientations.

The photographer stopped and explained, "Director Tang, Ms. Lin, in order to get better photos, I need to apply olive oil to Director Tang's muscles."

“Tell me how to apply it, and I’ll do it.” Lin Zhiling took the bottle without hesitation.

After serving as a senior executive for a few months, she has learned to be assertive.

"It feels amazing." Lin Zhiling's hand roamed over his chest and abdomen, her eyes full of admiration, and she couldn't help but pull away.

"Cough, apply it properly."

Lin Chih-ling squatted down in front of him, applying oil to his chest, her chest completely exposed, her eyes filled with adoration.

The Tang detonator was a bit too big.

Hmm, this woman is ripe.

It should have been put on the agenda long ago.

After finishing the office shoot, we took advantage of the bright sunshine during the day to shoot the third set of photos at the beach.

Tang Wen, wearing shorts, started playing beach volleyball.

I rode a jet ski...

The main style is that of a sporty, sunny, and energetic young man.

Finally, there are photos of the interior of the villa, showing its homey style.

In modern terms, it was filmed with a strong sense of marital harmony.

Women from Asian countries such as Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia would probably like it.

After all that effort, the filming was finally completed in the evening.

Lin Chih-ling asked, "When will the final cut be released?"

"It was originally supposed to take a month, but Miss Lin paid extra, so it'll only take 7 days. The photos will be ready in 7 days!" the photographer loudly assured.

In his view, this efficiency was already terrifying.

Lin Zhiling glanced at Tang Wen and saw that he was frowning, so she knew he was dissatisfied with the efficiency.

He shook his head and said, "It's been too long. I want to see it tomorrow."

"Oh—impossible, beautiful lady, this is impossible!"

Lin Chih-ling said calmly, "I'll add more money! Another 20,000 US dollars, I need it first thing tomorrow morning, and it needs to be accompanied by an electronic version..."

In 2002, not only was the RMB valuable.

The purchasing power of the US dollar should not be underestimated.

Twenty thousand US dollars—even though the photographer is middle class, he can't save that much in a year.

The words of refusal stuck in his throat. He swallowed hard and nodded emphatically: "As you wish, Miss Lin. I will bring the repaired photos to see you tomorrow morning."

"I hope you won't let me down."

The photography team left in a hurry.

I went back and worked overtime all night to edit the photos.

Inside the villa room, Huang Shengyi glanced at the time.

Director Tang didn't come back last night, but he's back now, and it's already late, so he definitely won't go out again.

She took a shower, put on a white dress, and prepared to take the initiative.

This morning, she contacted Jia Jingwen.

When the latter learned that there was another Lin Chih-ling in Hollywood, they immediately became more cautious.

Tell her not to hesitate and to take the initiative.

Otherwise, once the opportunity is missed, who knows when it will come again.

Huang Shengyi looked at himself in the mirror several times before opening the door and going out.

As soon as I stepped outside, I heard the sound of a car engine.

She quickly went to the window to look.

The Rolls-Royce had already driven out of the gate.

"Director Tang, uh, where did President Tang go?" she asked the housekeeper in broken English.

"I don't know."

Where is Miss Lin?

"We went out together."

"Are they coming back tonight?"

"He might not come back."

Huang Shengyi looked on with disappointment.

I live next door, so why is it so hard to find an opportunity?

Tang Wen had important business to attend to; Sun Chao's plane was about to land, and the two of them needed to discuss creating "Facebook".

Everything else should be put on hold.

After all, as long as one's career is successful, there's no need to worry about finding beautiful women.
