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

Chapter 222 Actors are impressed by his acting skills; is Director Tang going to enter the adult entertainment industry?

Regarding the establishment of Facebook North America.

Tang Wen, Sun Chao, and the company's two technical directors discussed the matter all night.

There is a successful example like Renren.com.

Setting up a simpler "Facebook" is no problem.

Sun Chao felt that since they were all Chinese, it would be inconvenient for them to show up at universities to promote the idea.

Tang Wen understood this.

As usual, he still had to get his partner Robert involved.

Moreover, Robert alone is not enough.

In the initial stage, he needs to leverage his family's influence to impact various universities in the United States.

Once things get off the ground, you need to find a faction that supports Facebook, either in Forbes or the LAPD (Los Angeles Police Department).

There's no way around it; this is just the kind of atmosphere that exists in a country like the United States, which was founded by pirates and bandits.

When a business grows big, you need to have guns.

Otherwise, any person or organization with a bit of power will want to take a bite out of you.

Tang Wen did not hide this from Sun Chao and the two technicians.

The three of them frowned as they listened.

"Isn't the United States governed by law?" asked the domestically trained technical vice president, bewildered.

Another director, who had studied in the US, kept his head down and didn't say anything.

Tang Wen smiled: "In the United States, the law serves capital... I won't go into details, you'll come here often in the future. You'll understand as you get to know each other better."

Sun Chao accepted it quickly.

He had struggled his way up from the bottom and knew that the world was not as gentle as it seemed on the surface.

"Shouldn't we also make some preparations?"

Tang Wen looked at him with a hint of surprise: "I'll find some professionals later. If you're willing, you can get involved. Oh, and Zhang Yan too, he's not having an easy time overseas either."

Zhang Yan's overseas writing studio is mainly located in Southeast Asia.

The local thugs were extremely rude.

They frequently went there to harass and extort money from others.

Tang Wen's security team had to expand again, setting up a security company there and sending skilled retired soldiers from China to keep things under control.

Through connections, the soldiers sent were all retired elites from the Southern Army.

They already had some connections with Southeast Asia.

Afterwards, they secretly met with the local gangs, who then began to reason with them.

But so far, they've only encountered small gangs.

Facebook's servers are planned to be temporarily located in Vancouver, Canada.

Tang Wen will not allow Robert to participate until the website is set up.

As we chatted, dawn broke.

Didn't sleep all night.

None of them felt tired.

The oldest among them, the technical director, is only in his early forties.

It's the age for hard work and striving.

Building a large social networking site in North America is something that programmers in China wouldn't even dare to dream of.

These days, it's mostly North American returnees who go back to instruct Chinese people on how to do things.

They, on the other hand, under Director Tang's guidance, embarked on a reverse entrepreneurial venture.

If I told my domestic counterparts, they probably wouldn't believe me.

Seeing that they were in high spirits, Tang Wen arranged for them to stay at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills.

After having breakfast at the hotel, I instructed them, "Don't discuss serious matters at the hotel. You can go to the golf course or my villa."

Beverly Hills, with its many celebrities, is teeming with so-called freelance journalists.

Eavesdropping is one of their specialties.

After the meal, Lin Chih-ling arrived.

Before Tang Wen left for the Bahamas, he gave her instructions in the car: "Use funds from different sources to buy several properties around Los Angeles."

Lin Zhiling wrote down all of his requests, then took out the photos to show Tang Wen.

Tang Wen's breath hitched.

He's scratching his head in the photo...

cough.

No, it's more like having a broad mind.

He showed off his chest and abs, his V-line, and his eyes were cold and arrogant.

Let's look at the next group.

Inside the villa, he was dressed in white, wearing gold-rimmed crystal glasses, with the buttons on his chest half-undone. Under the dim lighting, he looked like a male model from a high-end club.

Tang Wen closed his eyes: I am an artist!
How am I supposed to survive in the art world after this?!
Lin Chih-ling had already admired these photos for quite some time on her way here.

Even now, he still couldn't suppress his laughter.

Snapped!
"why are you laughing?"

Lin Chih-ling covered her shapely buttocks and quickly pursed her lips, saying, "I wasn't laughing."

Tang Wen snorted, put his arm around her slender waist, pulled her into his arms, and stared into her eyes as he said:

You're clearly laughing at me!

Lin Zhiling laughed until her body trembled: "Chairman Tang, you can trust me, I've received professional training... um..."

After a while, their lips parted.

Lin, the beautiful woman, had her eyes welling up with tears, and said in a trembling, childlike voice, "There's another set of photos."

She held it up with both hands.

Tang Wen glanced at it and couldn't help but sigh.

This last set of photos, taken at the beach, is even more outrageous.

The image of herself wearing white shorts and jumping up to play beach volleyball evoked something indescribable.

Although it is only an outline, it is enough to show his imposing presence.

"Don't send this one out."

As a great artist, Director Tang has a sense of shame.

Lin Chih-ling stared at the photo, not hiding her inner anticipation, her eyes alluring, like a Persian cat waiting for its owner to feed it.

"Yes, I think this photo is great and should be released to expand its influence and attract more female fans."

"...Okay, whatever you say." The patting had already happened.

They ate for a while longer.

Tang Wen arrived at the airport.

They boarded a flight to the Bahamas.

Lin Chih-ling was going to stay in Los Angeles, but Huang Sheng-yi boarded the plane with her.

The girl will only stay with him for a few days before returning to her country.

Before turning off the phone.

Tang Wen sent a message to Aiger.

The latter replied quickly:
Thank goodness you're finally here! But the actors are a bit hostile towards you, so be careful.

Tang Wen frowned slightly and replied with "OK".

More than five hours later, the plane landed in Nassau, the capital of the Bahamas.

Afterwards, we transferred to a small plane.

We stumbled and swayed our way to the beach.

The sky was azure, and the sea was crystal clear.

"How beautiful!" Looking at the scenery before him, Huang Shengyi wanted to say something, but after a long time, he couldn't think of any words.

Got on the boat.

A few minutes later, the pink sand beach quietly emerged from the sea.

Huang Shengyi's mouth dropped open: "It's...it's pink?!"

Tang Wen glanced at her statement and nodded secretly.

Pirates of the Caribbean 1 was an extremely complex film to make.

There are many filming locations.

Meanwhile, Disney in Hollywood is also setting up sets.

They've even dug an artificial lake and are building life-size ship models.

They had just set foot on Harbour Island when Johnny Depp, the lead actor, dressed as a pirate, swaggered over: "Oh, esteemed director, it's an honor to see you again. I'm Jack Sparrow!"

After saying this, he took off his triangular pirate hat and bowed gracefully.

Huang Shengyi was shocked once again.

Is this the style of Hollywood artists?
Johnny Depp starred in "Edward Scissorhands," and Huang Shengyi knows him.

Tang Wen ignored the strange greeting, regardless of whether it was an expression of dissatisfaction.

He simply said in the same tone, "Hello, Mr. Jack Sparrow."

This Depp is really a bit crazy.

Tang Wen looked past the other person and at the two people behind him.

Little Blacksmith, Elf Prince, Orlando Bloom.

The English Rose – Keira Knightley.

At 17, she had delicate features but an average figure. They were all dressed like characters from a movie, already showing the potential to play their roles.

Tang Wen sized them up.

The actors also subtly observed Tang Wen.

The atmosphere was somewhat heavy, or rather, not good.

Most actors in Hollywood are dedicated.

Tang Wen left the film crew here and didn't care for them for a month or two.

The actors not only had opinions, but also doubts:
"He's too young."

"Asians look very young."

"No, Tang is exceptionally young! Moreover, he is also a singer."

I've heard his songs.

"Let's not talk about music. We're making a movie right now. What experience can such a young director possibly have?"

"His previous films set records..."

"That was before, when all the movies were low-budget! Disney has gone mad to entrust such an important big production to a director with absolutely no experience!"

Facing all sorts of gazes.

Tang Wen strode into the crowd.

"Hello, Director Tang."

"Hello, Jeffrey." This is Captain Barbossa.

Hello, Director Tang.

"Hello, Jack," this man, whose real name is Jack, plays Brigadier General Norrington, the number one nemesis in the show.

Tang Wen continued walking, greeting people along the way.

Those whose names are called are not the main characters.

But they are all main actors.

As the director, he was able to call out the names of all the main actors as soon as he appeared on screen.

It must be said that this is a form of respect.

This shows how much importance is placed on the production team.

However, this attention could not offset the negative impact of his two months of absence from the road.

So Tang Wen continued walking.

They approached the strange-looking crew members of the Black Pearl.

He didn't stop greeting people:

Lee Ahrenberg (One-Eyed Pirate)

"McKinsey Crook" (the short, stout pirate)

"..."

They were just minor characters with a few lines and a few shots.

Moreover, she wore pirate makeup that even her own mother wouldn't recognize.

Tang Wen accurately called out everyone's name!
Co-producer Iger, standing at the back of the crowd, spoke up at the opportune moment:
"Tang, you really are recording videos every day to observe the actors' condition!"

So it turns out Coach Tang has been paying attention to our training every day!
"clap clap"

Several young actors, who seemed to have never been respected before, began to applaud.

He looked very touched.

But the main actors, the three main characters, are not so easy to fool.

The applause was sparse.

Tang Wen and Aige stood together, then turned to face the group of actors.

Before boarding the plane.

Aiger reminded Tang Wen that the actors harbored resentment.

Tang Wen, relying on his 90 points of mental strength and the resulting memory, had made preparations well in advance:
"Depp, you've been training an average of 4.5 hours a day for the past 43 days."

A total of 40 specialized swordsmanship training sessions were conducted.
30 sessions of physical coordination enhancement training;
27 immersive role-playing experiences;
50-hour mental resilience training

......"

Johnny Depp's eyebrows gradually rose.

In the past month or so, I've trained so many times?

He remembered some of the data, such as the damned sword training.

The data seems to match.

But what does this prove?

It's just a summary of some data.

Anyone can tell you how many training sessions they've had by simply finding two assistants and summarizing the number of sessions.

Tang Wen was still saying:
"The Captain Jack Sparrow in my mind has a unique quality of being 'drunk but shrewd'."

You are getting close to him!

But I'm not good enough.

Here's a little suggestion: based on the characteristics of pirate behavior, you can try incorporating the physical style of rock stars.

for example……"

He stopped there.

He immediately displayed master-level acting skills.

He made a gesture resembling an orchid with his palm and took a few steps with his signature swaying gait.

At the same time, in a slightly odd English accent, he said, "Gentlemen, oh, and ladies, I have a brilliant idea."

this--

As is widely known, he is a famous actor in Hollywood.

Maybe bad, maybe two-faced, maybe disgusting...

But in terms of acting skills, they are usually not bad.

Otherwise, it's almost impossible to get ahead.

Tang Wen took a few steps and said a few lines.

The eccentric Captain Jack Sparrow's style, like a sea breeze, hits you right in the face!

Jeffrey, who plays Barbossa, leans back slightly, his pupils dilating in shock.

Watching Tang Wen's demonstration, I actually felt a chill!

He has a very thorough understanding of the characteristics of people!

Moreover, he's actually a director who likes to personally guide others!
This type of director does exist, but directors who can pinpoint the characteristics of their characters are extremely rare.

These people are often actors who transitioned into acting.

He knew exactly what he was going to act and what he was going to express, and with his long experience in acting, he was naturally able to perform it.

But Tang is so young, he's a gifted director!

His acting is actually this good?

The second male lead, Lamar Odom, and the first female lead, Kayla, exchanged a glance.

I was equally surprised.

Director Tang wasn't even wearing costume, but his eyes, movements, gait, and overall demeanor changed in an instant.

He looks like a mad captain dressed in modern clothes.

Depp's pupils constricted, as if he had seen something unbelievable...

His acting skills impressed everyone.

Tang Wen continued, “...Gentlemen, I am certain that you have reached a considerable level in your preparations over the past period of time and have grasped some of the essence of the characters.”

The reason I came to the film set today is because I saw this!
I believe that after a little more adjustment period, we can officially start filming!

"Clap clap clap"

Iger led the applause.

Others followed suit.

Depp clapped his hands in a daze.

Huang Shengyi, the fangirl Tang Wen brought along, looked at him with adoration.

"However, I arrived much later than everyone else! So, tonight's beach bonfire party is on me!"

"Oh--"

The ordinary actors cheered.

The lead actors applauded.

Aiger and Tang Wen left the crowd.

Aiger exclaimed, "Tang, I really don't know how to describe you. You were so late because of other things, but you made it sound like you were following the progress of the film crew every day."

Tang Wen: "..."

Aiger smiled: "I suddenly have confidence in you!"

"Because of my major?"

Iger nodded: "And most importantly—shamelessness."

Tang Wen was momentarily speechless, but immediately retorted: "My image in my own country is that of an artist. You're saying that's something I only learned after coming to America."

The two exchanged a few words.

My phone rang.

Tang Wen picked up his phone; a text message had arrived from Sun Chao:
What kind of photoshoot did you do? Old Tang, you're not going to go into the adult entertainment industry, are you?
