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

Chapter 226 It turns out, Director Tang is a good man! (Please subscribe and vote with monthly tickets)
I went back to my bedroom, took a shower, and turned on my computer.

Tang Wen received two email notifications from Penguin.

One of them was an internal official document.

The second letter was from Little Ma, bringing good news.

Upon opening them, I discovered that the two emails were about the same thing.

[QQ group chat feature launched, company valuation stabilized]

Penguins are already making games.

We're still a ways off from being truly profitable.

Therefore, the valuation has only been stabilized so far.

In fact, without Tang Wen's prior arrangement for Tencent to develop games and mobile internet, things would have been different.

2002 was a very difficult year for Pony Ma.

It would never be like it is now, with top domestic director Tang Wen and popular young actress Zhou Xun endorsing QQ.

It can be said that Tang Wen's appearance...

This has artificially inflated the value and worth of Tencent.

Unfortunately, nobody at Tencent knows this.

So there's no question of being grateful to him.

In the future, Tang Wen will interfere with Penguin less and less.

Because Renren.com also emerged.

Currently, the website has not raised any funds. Apart from Sun Chao and a few veteran technical staff who received some shares, all other shares are in his hands.

It's an absolute one-man show.

However, it won't go far without introducing capital.

Capital sees an opportunity, but if it can't get in, it will go crazy.

At the very least, it will support other entrepreneurs to develop similar products to compete with Renren.com.

But there's no rush right now.

Firstly, Renren.com has no profit-making mechanism.

Secondly, the dot-com bubble had only recently burst.

Capital is relatively cautious about investing in internet companies.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Renren.com can continue its quiet, incremental growth for another year or two...

Thinking of this, Tang Wen sent Sun Chao a private message, telling him to go to Zhongguancun after returning to China and find a young man surnamed Liu who was running a shop selling CDs.

Discuss cooperation with the other party and develop online business.

Tang Wen didn't know much about e-commerce.

Liu Qiangdong is a qualified leader.

Domestic shopping websites are developing rapidly.

I believe Liu Qiangdong is willing to cooperate.

Of course, as the saying goes, every gift of fate comes with a price tag.

Besides making money, Tang Wen also had other purposes in investing in Liu Qiangdong.

With his financial resources, his intervention at this time will undoubtedly put JD.com on the fast track to growth.

When the time comes, it will be convenient to push it out to shield Renren.com from the wind.

After all, the waters of the capital are deep...

The room diagonally opposite.

Huang Shengyi returned to the house and recalled the intimacy between the two of them earlier that day.

He happily pounced on the bed, kicking his legs around.

The slippers hit the ground, and with the swaying rhythm, the nightgown opened wide, revealing her fair, snow-white thighs and...

Unfortunately, no one was inside; such a beautiful view went unseen.

After happily rolling around on the soft bed a few times, Huang Shengyi took out his phone and sent a message to Zhang Jingchu:

[Jingchu, I got the role!]

Guess who I play?

[Haha! You'll never guess, it's the female supporting character with the most screen time—Zhu'er!]

After sending the message, I didn't care whether Zhang Jingchu replied or not.

Then I went to chat with Alyssa Chia.

It was daytime in China when Jia Jingwen made a cross-border call.

After all, it was her first time sending someone over, and the other party's performance was closely related to her interests.

Of course, I should take the time to check on it.

"Sister Jingwen!"

Xiao Huang was overjoyed to receive the call.

Even from thousands of miles away, Jia Jingwen could hear the joy in her voice.

"Looks like you've been doing well lately?"

"Mmm, Hubble Island in the Bahamas is so beautiful, Jingwen, did you know? The beaches here are pink..."

On the other end of the phone, Jia Jingwen's eyes narrowed: This girl, she's only been out for a few days, and she's already showing off to me.

But you know what, the way she described it...

Alyssa Chia really wants to see the pink sand beach and see Tang Wen in his swimsuit.

Unfortunately, time didn't allow it.

She listened quietly as Huang Shengyi finished speaking.

He then asked about the progress of key matters.

Xiao Huang said shyly, "Well, things are going really well between us."

Alyssa Chia took a deep breath: Ha! Men!

It seems they've succeeded.

Huang Shengyi then turned to talking about how she got the role: "Director Tang personally helped me choose it!"

"What role?"

"Zhang Wuji's cousin, Yin Li! I told her I might not be able to handle it, and Director Tang said he'd ask Sister Jingwen to guide me later..."

Jia Jingwen frowned as she listened: It sounded like she was being treated like a servant.

A fierce glint flashed in her eyes: dealing with this little girl, simply showing kindness is not enough; we need to find an opportunity to make her suffer a bit!

He had no interest in listening to Huang Shengyi continue.

Just as Jia Jingwen was about to make an excuse to hang up the phone, she suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Late at night.

Tang Wen didn't end up with Huang Shengyi?
This is inconsistent with his physical condition and usual style!

With a slight shift in her thoughts, she lowered her voice and asked, "Saint Cloth, tell me the truth, how far have you two gotten? Have you slept together yet?"

"Huh? Um, why is Sister Jingwen suddenly asking this?" Xiao Huang's heart was pounding, not knowing what she meant.

Jia Jingwen had already figured it out.

Not asleep?

They gave me the role without me even sleeping?

Yin Li is basically the fourth female lead.

The fourth female lead in Jin Yong's dramas!

Its content differs from other films and television dramas.

Jia Jingwen was not happy for Huang Shengyi at all.

My heart sank.

After all, there's no point in arguing about it.

The two are the same man, and their relationship involves romantic feelings.

Jia Jingwen couldn't help but overthink it.

Tang Wen has been given an important role, but the person hasn't even been eaten yet!
The day before yesterday, I told myself again that I should keep the yellow Saint Cloth for a few more days.

broken!

Could it be that Director Tang has actually fallen for her and is going to develop real feelings for this young girl?
Jia Jingwen gasped in shock.

No, this is not possible.

She didn't want to create a competitor herself.

Jia Jingwen calmed down and pressed for details about their relationship.

Huang Shengyi hesitated and was unwilling to say more.

She didn't have any particularly complicated thoughts.

Instead, I felt that a week had passed.

As it turns out, they haven't even taken that step yet.

If I said it out loud, it would make me seem unattractive.

Jia Jingwen didn't care about her situation.

I just wanted to get her to deliver it.

Consort Jia understood men's hearts: the easier something is to obtain, the less it is valued.

As long as Huang Shengyi is proactive enough, I believe Director Tang will get tired of her after a while.

However, this girl clearly enjoys how they spend time together right now...

Could it be that she actually fell for him by accident?

Think about it, the two of them were in a foreign country, and Director Tang didn't have any friends around him!
hiss--

The more I think about it, the more likely it is.

Thinking of this, Jia Jingwen said in a tone of disappointment, "Silly girl, don't be so naive as to think this is a good thing."

"what?"

Jia Jingwen started to bluff: "From what I've observed, all the women who have been with Director Tang have stayed by his side. What does that mean?"

"What?" Huang Shengyi thought to himself: How many people must there be?

"Director Tang is very selective; he doesn't give ordinary actresses any special treatment."

"Yes, I know." Huang Shengyi recalled the feud between Huo Siyan and Zhang Jingchu.

They knew that in order to win Tang Wen's favor, they actually followed him in their car.

It was even more exciting than in the movies.

Jia Jingwen said, "He doesn't actually have many women around him, and he has given them all a lot of support and resources. He is definitely a responsible and good man."

Huang Shengyi: "Hmm."

That's correct.

But I always feel something is weird.

"Saint Cloth, you are very beautiful. But you're still a bit lacking in understanding men's minds."

Huang Shengyi nodded repeatedly, finding the words absolutely right. She immediately sat up straight and humbly asked for guidance: "Sister Jingwen, please teach me!"

"Don't rush, let me tell you, in this industry, you usually have to put in the effort before you can reap the rewards. Director Tang gave you the role because he probably felt you weren't proactive enough! He's giving you a further hint!" "Huh? Is that so? But Director Tang has been very busy these past few days." Huang Shengyi accidentally blurted out the truth.

Jia Jingwen pressed for more details, so she had to explain the situation again.

Then, Jia Jingwen on the other end breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh, I see."

This isn't about playing with emotions or manipulating feelings.

However, wasn't Tang Wen being a bit too verbose this time?
Think about yourself.

He directly held an open gathering with Huo Siyan.

While driving.

They all stood up and kicked.

I almost stepped on the gas.

Why are you so respectful to her now that she's in yellow robes?

Don't say you're busy during the day.

Jia Jingwen was aware of Tang Wen's energy and physical strength.

I'm not tired even if I stay up all night!
It's like a wild donkey!

Feeling resentful, Alyssa Chia continued to flatter him: "To capture a man's heart, you first need to give Director Tang a unique impression!"

"Why is it different?"

"Be enthusiastic, show that you can't live without him!"

In short, you need to be proactive.

Seemingly feeling her argument wasn't convincing enough, Jia Jingwen lowered her voice, as if revealing a secret: "Huo Siyan is far less attractive than you, and her personality isn't as good either. Why has she been able to stay by Director Tang's side all this time?"

"Because she followed Director Tang, which made him feel different?" Little Huang had already learned to answer quickly.

"That's right!
In situations where other women are too passive and pretentious.

Taking the initiative will leave a unique mark on his heart!

Huang Shengyi listened and nodded.

Jia Jingwen felt that was enough and sighed, "Actually, you missed the best opportunity."

"Ugh?"

“This afternoon, when Director Tang was assigning you a role, you should have decisively turned it down and said you didn’t want the role, you just wanted to stay by his side.”

Huang Shengyi immediately recognized the brilliance of this move and asked anxiously, "Then what should we do, Sister Jingwen?"

Jia Jingwen knew that this trick would not fool Tang Wen; a director like him would not put all his eggs in one basket.

"Don't panic, go deliver it tomorrow, cough, when you go on your date, find an opportunity to tell him how you feel."

"Yeah, I really don't want to go back. Yin Li was disfigured, and I feel like I won't get any credit for acting."

Huang Shengyi clenched her small fist and said with great conviction.

"Okay, that's the attitude we should have."

After hanging up the phone, Alyssa Chia gathered her team and got busy with the "Female Stars' Visit to 100 Schools" project.

When it came time to group the students, she really wanted to put Gao Yuanyuan and Dong Xuan in the same school.

It'll definitely be a lively time.

But after a little thought, he dismissed the tempting idea.

They can't even travel too close together.

She knew this was Tang Wen's test.

It's still an open-book exam.

If you can't even control this thought, you'll lose a lot of points.

They decided to go to the south and the north respectively, with Gao Yuanyuan staying in Beijing and Dong Xuan going to Shanghai.

As for Fan Bingbing, she should go to Nanjing.

A smug smile crept across Jia Jingwen's lips: "Fan Xiaopang seems to be having a tough time lately. It might be good for him to go to Nanjing to hide away."

Fan Bingbing is indeed having a tough time.

There was nothing wrong with her starring in "Peacock".

But with the release of "Infernal Affairs 2," a single film raked in the majority of the summer box office, making it extremely hated.

The other party was jealous of Tang Wen, and by extension, also hated Fan Xiaopang.

I've scolded them several times.

Facing industry veterans.

Fan Bingbing was far from the "Fan Ye" of later generations; she originally wanted to settle things peacefully.

Tang Wen suggested that she respond directly.

So, last night.

In an interview with Renren.com, Fan Bingbing mustered her courage and spoke about how thoroughly she had prepared for the film "Peacock." She mentioned clearing her schedule for six months to experience life there, among other things.

Director Tang Wen also fully affirmed his acting skills.

She didn't apologize and even dared to argue back.

Some veteran directors who have never had a representative work in their entire careers are so angry they want to jump up and point their fingers at him and curse him!
This can be considered as setting her on a path of being famous for being controversial ahead of time.

During last night's interview, Fan Xiaopang talked more about his relationship with Tang Wen.

The last time Gao Yuanyuan and Dong Xuan clashed, we enjoyed the drama so much.

How could netizens possibly let Fan Bingbing off the hook?
Last night, my feed was flooded with messages asking her to talk about her relationship with Tang Wen.

Fan Xiaopang openly recounted that he and Tang Wen started as QQ friends.

They only met in person after they both achieved success.

And now we're starting a company together and developing our business together.

She also casually revealed Tang Wen's tastes and hobbies:
I love eating hot pot with lamb.
I admire Jay Chou and others.

She even told me some funny stories about Tang Wen's childhood that she heard from Tang Wen's sister.

In short, it's full of details.

Their relationship is self-evident.

Fan Xiaopang practically typed "The Real Mrs. Tang" into the chat!
Da Meiyuan and Dong Xuan could no longer tolerate it.

The former posted a message implying that Fan and Tang Wen are just friends.

The latter then took a jab at Fan Xiaopang: reiterating the time he spent filming the music video with Tang Wen.

Can online chatting really compare to real-life companionship?

A three-way brawl ensued.

Renren.com became lively.

The onlookers were thoroughly entertained.

Gao, Dong, Fan, and Wang Zuxian all saw another surge in fans.

Tonight, Alyssa Chia will be interviewed live on Renren.com.

Sunlight streamed through the curtains.

A new day dawned, and Tang Wen was awakened by the sun.

The first thing I do when I wake up is check the system's task progress.

[To gain wider international recognition (Target number: 192 → 195 million / 200 million)]

One night passed.

It went up by another 30,000.

Success is just around the corner.

He sprang out of bed with a somersault, went into the bathroom, and pulled out three and a half pounds:

Blah blah blah...

Men sometimes have strange thoughts when they urinate.

Tang Wen swayed the water jet left and right, as if he were using a laser to sweep through the soldiers.

Good morning, Director.

"morning"

After washing up, Tang Wen went into the restaurant.

Huang Shengyi stood up and waved to him.

She found a window seat with a view of the pink beach and the vast ocean.

The table was covered with food.

"What? Didn't you sleep well last night?" Tang Wen asked Huang Shengyi.

Xiao Huang hurriedly covered her face: "Is it that obvious?"

"Not very obvious, but still very beautiful."

Huang Shengyi put her hand down and said, "Then I'll catch up on some sleep during the day."

She valued her appearance, but after listening to Jia Jingwen's words last night, she had been thinking about how to give Tang Wen a memorable night—no, a profound impression.

I kept thinking about it, which made me stay up too late.

The daytime filming went smoothly.

The actors themselves clearly demonstrated Disney's high regard for the "Pirates of the Caribbean" project.

Everyone wanted to use this show to advance their careers, and no one interfered.

After a few days, everyone could see that Tang Wen's directing ability and his ability to guide the actors were quite extraordinary.

Of the three lead actors, Depp has the most experience and has worked with the most directors.

He felt that Tang Wen's directing skills were even better than some veteran directors.

Time flies by when you're focused on your work.

Before they knew it, it was 7 p.m. After filming a scene at sunset, the crew wrapped up.

"Crack!"

The actors and crew members all breathed a sigh of relief.

The director is so professional; he knows exactly how to shoot and how to set up the lights.

With such a serious attitude, they naturally face considerable pressure.

"Everyone has been doing well lately. Take a half-day off tomorrow morning and be on set promptly at 2:30 pm."

"Oh~"

"Thank you, director!"

"Thank you, Director Tang."

Amid cheers, Depp walked over and said, "Don, it's rare for you to get a break. Want to grab a drink tonight?"

"Next time, Depp, I'll treat you next time."

Tang Wen didn't explain much, said goodbye, and left.

The assistant followed from behind and whispered, "Director, the yacht is already docked at the pier. We've rented it for three days."

"Okay, go pick up Miss Huang."

After working so hard for so long, I finally have some free time, so of course I should relax.
