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

Chapter 260 Wine and women lead to trouble; from today onwards, I will abstain from alcohol (Please subscribe)
"Michael and Harvey, why haven't they made a sound?" Tang Wen asked worriedly.

He was afraid the two of them wouldn't actually fight.

"There's movement. Michael is working on kicking the Harvey brothers out of Miramax."

Of course, Harvey wasn't going to sit idly by; he was courting some of his Disney shareholders, promising them lucrative deals, and was determined to make a big production.

As the man who instigated the conflict between the two, Aiger has always been keeping a close eye on their situation.

Tang Wen was even more afraid that the two sides would not become mortal enemies:
"If someone were to expose Harvey's alleged sexual harassment and assault now, wouldn't that be a good time?"

"Do you have a clue?"

"Have."

It's not a question of whether there are any or not, it's that there are too many.

However, most of the victims are people within the industry, and they dare not stand up and accuse Harvey.

It's not that time yet.

The most rebellious group had already attempted to rebel in the first place.

Under Harvey's coercion, most of them took some money and were forced to sign settlement agreements.

Tang Wen thought for a moment and said, "I'll give you two names."

“Good!” A glint flashed in Aiger’s eyes.

Making Michael and Harvey bitter enemies would be very beneficial to him.

It should be easier to take over.

Tang Wen casually mentioned the names of several women.

"Tang, being your opponent is terrifying!" Egger couldn't help but exclaim.

Tang Wen quickly waved his hand.

That's not true at all; Harvey has had too many women.

Moreover, he rose to power early and has been doing inhumane things since the 1980s. I'm just mentioning a few names here.

“These people are all relatively unknown; you could probably bribe them to speak out.”

Compared to China, Hollywood offers more opportunities, but it's still tough for minor stars who can't make it big.

The reason they're not famous in the country is simply because they earn less money and don't owe money.

In Hollywood, too many struggling minor stars are in debt.

Iger was well aware of this; he figured that spending a little money would greatly increase the chances of getting a female celebrity to come out and criticize Harvey.

Well, recently, someone from President Michael's faction has wanted to come and work with me.

Let him make a move and see if he's truly loyal to us.

Americans also know about the "pledge of allegiance".

Iger acts cleanly and efficiently.

Within two days, several New York media outlets broke big news.

A minor celebrity named Tommy Ann has exposed Harvey Weinstein's sexual harassment allegations.

The industry was in an uproar!

Tommy Ann said that before she debuted, she worked part-time as a waitress in a New York theater.

Harvey, seeing that she was beautiful, lured her to a hotel room under the pretense of an audition and sexually harassed her.

She explained the whole story very clearly, even mentioning the room number.

Unfortunately, that was more than a decade ago.

There's really no evidence left.

But how could a woman use her own innocence to slander someone else?
Well, this kind of slander is all too common in North America.

But everyone knows what kind of person Harvey is in the industry.

I immediately believed it to a large extent.

Seeing this, Harvey was furious.

They frantically tried to contact their own connections to suppress the news.

Unfortunately, the media outlets reporting the news also had powerful backers and completely ignored it.

Harvey made inquiries and learned that it was Disney people behind the scenes.

He immediately flew into a rage!
It turns out it was one of our own people who framed me.

As for who it is, is there even a need to say?

It's definitely Michael!

He stormed into the Disney president's office in a fit of rage, staging a dramatic display of "insubordination."

Michael was just watching the show when this mess was dumped on his head, and he was just as furious!

Just as he was about to make some harsh remarks.

A subordinate stepped forward to block him: "Harvey!"
This isn't the place for you to run wild. To tell you the truth, I've disliked you for a long time.

I was the one who leaked this information; I have plenty of inside information!
You should apologize to the CEO right now!

President Michael was astonished: "This guy, I've never seen you this loyal before."

Harvey's eyes widened like bull's eggs, completely ignoring the man, and continued to point at Michael's nose and curse!
He didn't believe that this person would have someone leak his information without Michael's instructions...

A farce unfolded, and then the security guards stepped in.

Harvey was dragged out of the CEO's office.

But President Michael completely hated him.

The president of Disney was cornered in his office and berated by the head of a subsidiary company.

If we don't teach him a lesson, what prestige will he have left?

"You still have dirt on him?"

"Yes, Mr. President."

"Expose it all! Expose everything! I want him dead!"

"Understood, I'll take care of it right away!"

Michael was like a raging lion, smashing a lot of things in his office and then calling over his female celebrity lover to vent his anger.

The two had a falling out, which was actually a lose-lose situation for both of them.

The neutral faction within Disney originally felt that Michael's decisiveness was not as good as before.

Adding to their bad luck, none of their animated productions achieved the expected success.

But as a CEO, he still possesses the necessary abilities.

Now that I look at it, that's not the case.

Michael may really not be suited to continue leading Disney.

Not only could he not control Harvey, but he also started leaking information.

Harvey was a bastard.

However, he won many awards for Disney and made significant contributions to the organization.

By revealing such shocking information about him without prior notice, you're practically ruining his life.

As a high-ranking official, who doesn't have some dirty secrets on their side?

If we offend you one day, will you also try to get back at us?

Although people dislike Harvey, they dislike Michael's actions even more.

In comparison, Mr. Roy Disney and Iger seem more reliable!

Michael is really getting old!

Other Hollywood companies are also laughing at them.

Tang Wen, who had caused trouble, arrived at DreamWorks under the guidance of Drew Barrymore.

As a qualified godfather, Spielberg did not presume to be arrogant and took time out of his busy schedule to receive Tang Wen and his goddaughter.

Upon meeting, a glint flashed in Steven Spielberg's eyes behind his round glasses.

This young man is quite good-looking.

"It's a great honor to meet you..." Tang Wen took two quick steps, his face showing genuine joy.

Steven was in a better mood and originally planned to exchange pleasantries before going about his own business.

But somehow, we started talking about movies and found ourselves getting along very well.

He didn't even care about his goddaughter Drew Barrymore standing next to him.

He pulled Tang Wen into his editing room and showed him his new film, "Cat and Mouse Game."

This play is undoubtedly a classic.

Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks, two of Hollywood's top A-list actors, co-star in the film.

In addition, the director is Spielberg, one of the four most famous directors.

The film generated buzz from the moment it was conceived, receiving widespread attention both within and outside the industry.

Tang Wen sat in the editing room and watched for a while: "Leon's role is so cool, I want to play it myself after watching it."

"You want to act?"

"Maybe, to coax young girls or something."

Spielberg smiled. He was known for his good temper and had seen many breakups and makeups in the industry, so he didn't think Tang Wen was a scumbag.

Tang Wen stayed at DreamWorks until dark.

During this time, Drew Barrymore was so bored by himself that he hinted several times that he wanted to go with her.

Tang Wen ignored her: This woman has ulterior motives; she's definitely trying to trick him into going to a hotel for some exciting entertainment.

But he already knows Spielberg. As for you, miss, go wherever you want.

Drew was helpless. In the afternoon, seeing that he had no intention of leaving, he had no choice but to leave dejectedly.

After she left, Tang Wen started building connections: "I think this movie can be imported to China." Spielberg became interested.

DreamWorks lacks overseas distribution channels and is on the verge of being squeezed out by several major companies.

The Chinese film market hasn't taken off yet, but having another market is always a good thing.

Even if it only brings in a million dollars.

"Don, if you don't mind, let's have dinner together," Spielberg invited.

At the dinner table, he unusually spoke many heartfelt words to Tang Wen.

Disney is so corrupt.

The revenue from distribution is exceptionally high.

Even the box office revenue sharing was always delayed until the very last minute.

After a few drinks, he started complaining about the head of Paramount, Shirley Lansing, saying that the woman was even more ruthless.

DreamWorks' attempts to establish distribution channels overseas have repeatedly failed because of her interference...

Upon hearing this, Tang Wen extended an olive branch: "I have distribution channels in Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, and Southeast Asia. You don't have to cooperate with them."

Ok?
"Really?"

"Of course. After all, China is closer to them." Actually, it wasn't Tang Wen who had the channels, but China Film Group, Shanghai Film Group, and their partners in Hong Kong.

Rounding it off, doesn't that mean it's his channel?

He did intend to establish an integrated distribution channel in Asia, bypassing middlemen and profiting from their differences.

It can help your movie achieve higher box office returns.

The two talked late into the night.

Tang Wencai got into the car and left.

After he left, another DreamWorks mogul arrived at Spielberg's office—Jeffrey Katzenberg.

He was in charge of animated films, with notable works including *Shrek* and *Kung Fu Panda*.

"Do you think this young man has potential?"

"That's right, and he has brought us new hope."

"Oh?"

Spielberg mentioned the Asian release.

"Now, I can finally relax for a while, right?"

A female veteran from China was driving.

In the back seat of the Rolls-Royce, Tang Wen was holding Lin Zhiling. For some reason, his hands were a little cold, so he naturally snuggled into a warmer spot.

Sister Zhiling blushed slightly, and in her signature baby voice, with a hint of breathlessness, she whispered in his ear:

"No, you should go back to China now. The movie 'Hero' has been submitted for the Oscars, but the distribution and promotion are still undecided, and we haven't even seen the finished film yet."

Tang Wen tightened his grip, causing the older sister's delicate body to tremble slightly. She gave him a resentful look, pursed her lips, and continued her report: "According to news from the domestic business sector, the investment strategy targeting Liu Qiangdong has been initially completed."

Furthermore, Mr. Ma Yun has invited you and Mr. Ma Huateng to attend next week's "West Lake Forum." He said that Mr. Ma Yun personally called and emailed you with very sincere words. We hope you can make time to attend.

In addition, there's the matter of music albums.

Faced with a great project, Zhang Yadong worked day and night with boundless enthusiasm. According to a phone call from Wang Fei, Zhang even developed gray hair from working so hard.

The Chinese-language album is basically complete.

He needs to review it.

"It's time to go back."

After he finished speaking, the beautiful woman in his arms visibly became dejected, her eyes growing increasingly resentful.

Tang Wen laughed: "Were you getting impatient?"

Lin Chih-ling first met his gaze, then shyly lowered her head.

"Looks like there's no rush, then let's wait for me to arrive from China... Oh, why is it biting?"

Lin Chih-ling gently opened his ear.

That person is awful.

Let's have dinner tonight.

"Can you dance?"

"I know a little."

"Wear high heels and dance for me tonight."

"Okay." Sister Lin was secretly delighted, and even had a slight urge to cry.

Thinking back to when I was in Taiwan, I wonder how many people had designs on me.

As a result, after coming to Tang Wen's side, he didn't get to drink soup for a whole year.

She was prepared to nurture this relationship well.

Being a senior executive at a large American company is much more prestigious than going back to Taiwan to work in the entertainment industry.

"By the way, your 'heartthrob' has become famous." Although she doesn't have much acting skill, playing the role of a heartthrob is basically a natural performance for her, plus she's naturally beautiful.

The performance was quite good.

"Yes, a friend told me."

"Xiaoran?"

"And friends from Taiwan Province."

Her hand slipped and landed on her long, black-stockinged legs.

Sister Zhiling's voice is getting stranger and stranger.

When she got back to the villa, she didn't even have time to eat. She went straight to the bathroom, took a shower, and put on a beautiful makeup.

Finally, she changed into the clothes that Tang Wen had specifically requested.

Women naturally take a long time to put on makeup.

Tang Wen waited by the pond in the courtyard for a long time.

Finally, the person I was waiting for arrived.

Sister Lin, wearing a black, tight-fitting, openwork dress, lay down on the floating foam board as instructed by Tang Wen.

A splash of pure white, it's impossible to look away.

This is a scene from the original timeline of "Go Fighting!" where she and Huang Bo cosplayed Titanic.

Huang Bo didn't watch it.

Tang Wen wouldn't stand on ceremony.

Not only do you have to look, you also have to try it out.

The outfit wasn't exactly the same as what I remembered.

She was also wearing stockings.

To be honest, Tang Wen really liked her leg shape.

It's just that the bound feet are a bit lacking.

Hmm, Xiaoran's feet are quite beautiful.

Well, those two get along well, so they'll definitely be willing to live together...

The water in the pond has varying depths.

In the shallower areas, the water level just reached Tang Wen's waist.

So he reached out and grabbed her slender legs, and like a pushcart, pushed the older sister who was lying on the foam board into the shallow water.

Lin Chih-ling, in the water, sensed something was wrong; a chill ran down her lower body...

It's too late.

Water sports.

It really saves effort.

The sun rises three thousand degrees.

Tang Wen, unusually, still hadn't gotten out of bed, his hand tracing the curves, seemingly unable to put it down.

There's a reason why Lin Chih-ling was able to remain popular for 20 years in the original timeline.

Putting everything else aside, her skin is in excellent condition.

"Hmm~" Sister Zhiling woke up and saw Tang Wen's face. She seemed a little shy and subconsciously pulled the blanket to cover half of her face, only revealing her big eyes, which blinked.

Tang Wen laughed; this woman was too good at providing emotional value.

Last night, when I looked up at her, she looked so pitiful.

It's not like Huang Shengyi, who's truly pitiful.

It's pathetic to be coy and hesitant!
If it weren't for his exceptional talent and the fact that he had 90 points of physical constitution as a foundation...

Putting aside the other women, this one vixen alone is enough to keep Tang Wen from getting along.

That being said, there are quite a few fairies around me.

To be precise, there are very few exceptions.

Because Sister Lin's performance was too tempting.

Tang Wen had no choice but to stay in North America for an extra week.

When his plane landed in Shenzhen, he was ready to watch the finished film of "Hero".

Zhang Yimou has been waiting here for three days.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, Director Zhang. We've been busy in Hollywood."

"It's alright, it's alright, please come in." Zhang Yimou is a kind and honest person.

Tang Wen: Wine and women lead to mistakes. From today onwards, I will abstain from alcohol.
