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

Chapter 235 It's perfectly normal for Director Tang to be here! (1st update, please subscribe and vote)

If Director Chen really wants to mediate this matter, he's willing to give face.

But you should at least talk to me about it.

Yes, writing a handwritten letter is indeed a sign of importance.

But your letter only contained two lines!

Thank goodness it wasn't email.

Otherwise, Tang Wen wouldn't pay any attention to him.

Is this how you act as a peacemaker?
"Should I really reply to him like that?" Fan Xiaopang asked timidly.

Director Dai is one thing, but that's another.

Director Chen is someone most people in the industry look up to.

"Don't reply, let Xia Tian reply. Oh, and have her inform President Han as well."

After saying that, Tang Wen hung up the phone.

Turn the person over.

Keep working...

Huang Shengyi can no longer go to the Dominican Republic with me.

Lovers are always especially entangled before parting ways.

Fan Xiaopang, holding his phone, stuck out his tongue.

Although I don't know what Tang Wen is doing, I can sense that he seems to be in a bad mood.

She relayed Tang Wen's statement.

The next morning, Xia Tian replied to Director Chen via email and text message:

"Thank you for your concern, but it's no trouble at all."

Director Chen is in the garden, teaching his eldest son to read poetry.

"Son, do you know why your father teaches you to read poetry?"

Arthur's brother shook his head, looking completely bewildered.

Director Chen raised his head slightly and looked up at the sky: "Because ancient poems contain life experiences. Today, as your father, I will teach you to read Du Fu's 'Looking at Mount Tai'!"
"...I will climb to the very top and survey all the mountains below!"

This poem perfectly reflects his state of mind.

in the country, no, throughout Asia, he stands at the pinnacle of directing!
While eating breakfast, he asked Chen Hong at the table, "Has Tang Wen not replied yet?"

Chen Hong's expression changed slightly.

Chen Kaige noticed something and stopped eating.

What did he reply?

"Yes, it was Blue Star Entertainment that replied, but they didn't mention Director Tang in their reply." Chen Hong didn't want her husband to get involved in this mess.

Despite Tang Wen and Blue Star Entertainment not giving him any face.

She didn't want any conflict with Tang Wen.

Director Chen, however, was not easily fooled: "He's the president of Blue Star. If he doesn't give his approval, who else would dare to reply on his behalf? What exactly did he say? Is it really necessary for me to go see him in person for such a trivial matter?"

Visiting someone in person is a sign of humility.

Chen Kaige values ​​this very much and doesn't want to take the initiative to visit a younger person.

He had a very high opinion of himself and never expected that Tang Wen would reject him.

Chen Hong lowered her head, paused for a moment, and then said softly, "They refused, saying they don't need our mediation. They can handle it themselves."

That's obviously an embellishment.

In fact, Xia Tian, ​​the assistant general manager of Lanxing Entertainment, only replied with those eight words:

"I'll go take a look." Director Chen pushed away the bowl and chopsticks and stormed off to the study.

Chen Hong couldn't stop it; she knew things were going to go wrong.

Sure enough, half a minute later, her husband's angry shouts were heard:

"You little brat! I'll give him face and write him a personal letter!"

That's how he replied to me? He has absolutely no manners...

I had previously thought that Director Dai and the others had wronged him!
Now it seems he was absolutely ungrateful.

Chen Hong had no choice but to go over and advise: "Don't listen to Lao Dai and his group's one-sided story. According to our friends at the newspaper, it was Lao Dai and his group who attacked Tang Wen first."

"Old Dai is a senior, what's wrong with him giving us a few pointers?"

Having lost face, Director Chen is no longer reasonable.

In the afternoon, he angrily invited reporters over.

He publicly stated that a certain young director, relying on his box office success, disrespected his seniors.

They even dared to dream of winning the Palme d'Or at Cannes—it's a joke!

You can tell his level just by looking at the leading ladies he chooses for his films. I don't think he'd even get a nomination at Cannes...

As soon as the news came out.

The entertainment industry is getting lively.

Although Chen Kaige did not mention Tang Wen and Fan Bingbing's names.

But everyone knows that he was referring to these two people.

The news quickly went viral and became a social news story.

After all, at that time, Director Chen was the only director to have won the Palme d'Or.

Even among Europe's three major film festivals, there are differences in quality.

The Palme d'Or at Cannes, France, balances artistic merit with commercial appeal, and is steeped in French artistic tradition.

It is considered the most influential award.

That's why Chen Kaige has such a high status in China.

At this time, "The Promise" had not yet been released, and the golden body had not yet been broken.

His influence far surpasses that of Director Dai and others.

He criticized Tang Wen, and the media rushed to reprint his accusations.

When Tang Wen found out, he only said, "This is inexplicable."

He had never seen anyone who, unable to reconcile a conflict, would step in and provoke it.

Director Dai must be laughing his head off right now, right?

Chen Kaige is truly a wall that blocks the wind.

But Chen Kai, don't you have any flaws?
Renren.com has already started to compile Chen Kaige's romantic history.

If he jumps out again.

Tang Wen even had to preemptively raise the doubts that future generations had about him: Why has Director Chen not produced any masterpieces since "Farewell My Concubine"?
Or is this his true ability?

Was someone else directing "Farewell My Concubine" in his place?

He was certain that once this suspicion arose...

Director Chen, who values ​​his reputation highly, will definitely be eager to prove himself.

They're bound to make a lot of blunders.

They might be able to release "The Promise" two years ahead of schedule.

That night.

The writers started forwarding posts about Chen Kaige's love life.

It went viral overnight.

The next day, Director Chen and his wife were blocked at their door.

"Director Chen, what is your opinion on the online claims that your marriage with your ex-wife was purely due to you taking advantage of her social connections?"

At that time, the internet was not well-developed, and the couple did not usually go online in the morning.

Upon seeing so many reporters, Director Chen thought it was because his words from yesterday had had an effect.

He's smiling and waiting to be asked a question.

Unexpectedly, I got hit on the head!

Suddenly, the blood rushed to my brain!

His body swayed.

Lies won't hurt, the truth is the sharpest knife!

Before he could recover, a tabloid reporter of unknown background shouted into the phone:

"Quick, take a picture and send it back to the agency!" Faced with the questioning, Chen Kaige had nothing to say.

Director Chen was so frustrated he felt like he was going to vomit blood.

Chen Hong quickly stepped in to defend her husband, accusing the reporter of fabricating stories and claiming they had no idea what was happening online.

The other party, however, ignored it.

He directly asked Chen Hong, "Mrs. Chen, do you hate mistresses? What is your opinion on mistresses taking over a woman's position?"

Now it was Mrs. Chen's turn to lose her composure.

She was shaking with anger.

And yet, there's no way to refute it.

The couple had no choice but to abandon their original plans, turn back home, and lock the door tightly.

The reporter shouted again:
"Quick! Send it back to the agency and upload it online! Faced with the questions, Director Chen and his wife were filled with shame and fled in panic! They were too ashamed to face the reporters!"

The surrounding reporters all kept their distance from him.

Goodness gracious, bro, you've never been sued before.

His colleagues wanted to see his face clearly, but they only realized it when they turned around to look for him.

The person was wearing a mask and sunglasses, and despite the hot weather, was dressed in long sleeves and trousers, clearly indicating that they had come prepared.

Even if Chen Kai wanted to cause trouble for someone, he should at least know who it was, right?

However, the reporters all know perfectly well what's going on.

Who else could it be?

The people Lan Xing and Tang Wen found!
Mr. Tang is not a lone wolf.

Director Chen offended someone yesterday, and overnight, tens of thousands of posts appeared.

Director Chen's past relationships have been exposed, and he's now infamous online!

However, the reporters showed no sympathy for Director Chen.

After all, Tang Wen didn't provoke you, so why did you jump out?
Go ahead and jump, I thought you had some special reason for your confidence.

You were so angry at what they did that you almost fainted.

This guy is someone you really can't afford to offend.

When Chen Kaige and his wife returned home, they were so angry that they were trembling all over.

Director Chen went to the study, turned on the computer, and browsed the posts.

Mrs. Chen called her contacts at the newspaper and media outlets to inquire about the situation.

Half an hour later, the two finally understood what had happened. They saw posts on various websites, both big and small, all claiming they were "the third party" (a derogatory term for someone who is involved in a scandal or similar situation).

Chen Hong, unusually, snapped at her husband: "I told you not to get involved! Why did you offend him?! Now look what's happened! What are we going to do?"

"Sue him! Is there no justice in this world? Is there no law? I'm going to sue him!"

Chen Hong laughed angrily: "Sue him? Who is he? What evidence do you have?!"

She had half a sentence left unsaid.

Those posts didn't contain a single swear word, and even Chen Kaige's name was a homophone. They were all the truth!
Whether something is true or false, others may not know.

They know it all too well.

The post is not a rumor!

This is absolutely the truth!
If a lawsuit is filed, the court will investigate and dismiss it.

Then add, "Upon investigation, all of this has been confirmed to be true."

They should never go out and see anyone again in their lives.

"How can there be such a person who disregards rules and morality..."

Director Chen grabbed his hair with both hands.

His once meticulously styled hair was now a mess.

Chen Hong gave him a cold look and stormed out.

Huayi.

"Wow! Director Feng, look what you've seen, it's really lively."

Writer Liu Zhenyun visited Huayi and discussed scripts with Feng Xiaogang.

Also in the room were the two Wangs from Huayi, Xu Fan, Zhang Guoli, Deng Jie, and Ge You.

Due to the existence of the [Affinity] entry.

Even Feng Xiaogang sided with Tang Wen: "That old Chen, he's really got nothing better to do. He deliberately jumped out to offend someone, and now he's made a huge mess of things."

Everyone laughed.

Director Chen's arrogance is consistent.

Few of the people in the room liked him.

As they were talking, Xu Fan had already brewed the tea.

Liu Zhenyun thanked him and took the package, then looked at Zhang Guoli and asked, "Uncle Guoli, how do you think this matter will end?"

Zhang Guoli asked in surprise, "Why do I think that?"

"Isn't it because you're acquainted with that Director Tang? They're both in the industry, and I'm afraid I might run into trouble with him in the future. I'm asking you in advance."

A sly glint flashed in Liu Zhenyun's eyes.

Hua Yi Xiao Wang looked somewhat unnatural.

Zhang Guoli's role as the second male lead in the 1.6 million yuan film "A World Without Thieves" has solidified his status.

But he is not a high-profile person.

He smiled but didn't say anything.

It was Boss Wang who spoke first: "Guoli, tell me, this Boss Tang is quite enigmatic. Even we in the industry can't figure him out."

Everyone else looked up at the same time.

The backgrounds of the two Mr. Wangs are no secret.

The circle that the king mentioned is composed of a group of very influential second-generation rich kids.

"Isn't it?"

Tang Wen's background is clear.

The most influential figures are Han Sanping and Ren Zhonglun.

The boss took a puff of his cigarette and offered a word of advice: "Many of them have been warned by their families. Otherwise, with so many beautiful women around him, wouldn't some pretentious playboy be tempted to grope them?"

Zhang Guoli had no choice but to speak up:
"In my opinion, Mr. Tang is actually very easy to get along with."

On set, he was an old-school director, much like directors Feng Xiaogang and Zhang Yimou.

What I want to shoot and what effect I want to achieve are all in my mind.

Everything on set was running smoothly.

If he's not in the zone, he can still offer a couple of pointers...

Even if you accidentally do something wrong, you won't get scolded.

"Apologize, and it'll be fine next time..."

"bang bang bang"

There was a knock on the door.

Sister Hua led Li Bingbing in.

"President Wang, Director Feng, Teacher Ge You, Teacher Guo Li..."

Li Bingbing asked around before sitting down.

Xu Fan and Deng Jie had a passable feeling towards Li Bingbing.

At least she wasn't effeminate in appearance, so she had some principles and everyone gave her a smile.

Once everyone was present, they began discussing the script.

Liu Zhenyun: "The story begins with a cell phone. The famous TV host, played by Uncle Guoli, left his cell phone at home..."

The movie "Cellphone" is currently in the script polishing stage.

Unlike her previous life, Fan Bingbing is no longer at Huayi.

This role naturally went to Li Bingbing, who knows how to get along with people.

Originally, Zhang Guoli was supposed to play the second male lead in the drama, but now, with "A World Without Thieves" as a foundation, he has become the male lead.

This pushed Ge You to the position of the second male lead.

Huayi's new project has been approved.

Everyone had a good time chatting.

Meanwhile, things were still in complete chaos on Director Chen's side.

When Chen Hong returned home, she wanted her husband to ask Han Sanping to put in a good word for her.

Get the post removed from Renren.com.

Director Chen received a call from Director Dai in the afternoon and had a new idea, unwilling to back down.

"What do you plan to do?" Chen Hong frowned.

"If I wanted to recommend a film to Cannes, do you think the Cannes jury would take it seriously?" After a day, Director Chen regained his confidence.

"should be."

"Of course!" Director Chen snorted. "Similarly, if I give a film a very low rating and use the news media to spread my opinion to France, it can also influence the judges' judgment!"

It's just smearing!

Who wouldn’t!

Although I haven't seen his films, the competition at Cannes is so fierce that if he has any flaws, his competitors will definitely attack him relentlessly.

I, Chen Kai, am not someone to be trifled with. During the day, I was simply caught off guard by the internet.

Chen Hong nodded, finding it feasible and sensing that her husband had matured considerably: "You want to negotiate with Tang Wen? Get him to delete the posts?"

"It's not just about deleting posts; we also need to find a way to restore our reputations."

Chen Hong strongly agreed: "What should we do now?"

"Spread the word and force Tang Wen to cooperate. If he cooperates, I can recommend his film; if he doesn't, I will do everything in my power to stop him from making it to Cannes!" Director Chen said with an air of dominance.

……

The next day, in the morning.

There was a middleman who told Fan Xiaopang about Director Chen's conditions.

Fan Bingbing called Tang Wen.

It was nighttime in Los Angeles.

After hearing Director Chen's conditions, Tang Wen laughed: "Who does he think he is? Interfering with Cannes."

"Brother, he's influential. What if he goes behind our backs and smears us?" Fan Xiaopang wanted to win the Best Actress award and wanted to avoid any unforeseen circumstances.

If it weren't for Tang Wen backing her up, she would never have dared to offend Director Chen.

Why did Tang Wen choose to go to Cannes among the three major film festivals?

She understands too.

To date, only two Chinese actors have won the Cannes Best Actor award—Ge You and Leung Chiu-wai.

There was no Best Actress award.

Even just being nominated, let alone winning an award, is a rare qualification.

"Hehe, don't worry. If he doesn't know when to back down, I'll give him a good beating."

Fan Xiaopang blinked. So, overnight, the whole internet was just gossiping?
"My brother is mighty and domineering."

Do you know where I am?

"Yes, my brother is in my heart."

Tang Wen smiled: "It was also at the US-France art exchange reception."

"Ok?"

"I'm not going to say anything more. Wait for my good news." Tang Wen saw an acquaintance and hung up the phone immediately.

Fan Xiaopang was filled with anticipation. He put down his phone, clasped his hands together, and prayed: "Buddha, Jade Emperor, Laozi, please bless my brother so that everything goes smoothly."

Well, she added: "As for picking up girls, things won't go smoothly."

“Aig”.

"Don."

Upon seeing Tang Wen, Aiger's eyes showed only surprise, not astonishment.

He subconsciously assumed Tang Wen was an American director.

An American director appearing at an arts exchange event between the US and France is as normal as a stock market expert appearing in the White House.

"You've come here?"

"Get to know the French."

Iger looked around and lowered his voice, saying, "What's so great about getting to know these French bastards?"

"Well, I'd like to find someone to recommend my film for early selection at the Cannes Film Festival."

Iger nodded: "Main competition unit?"

"That's right, are there any suitable candidates?"

“That old man over there who smells of perfume all over his body… Come on, let me introduce you to him.”

Without dawdling, he took the lead and walked over.

Lately, he has come to realize that Tang Wen is one of his few true friends!
Of course I'll help.
