Chapter 261 The Awkward Moment of the Ice and Snow Sisters, Movie Cashback

Chapter 261 The Awkward Moment of the Ice and Snow Sisters, Movie Cashback
"Mr. Zhang, it's been a long time."

"Long time no see, Director Tang!" As it turns out, Zhang Weiping is capable of bowing down.

He humbly extended his hands to shake hands with Tang Wen, who had not yet paid the balance.

The smile on his face showed no sign of strain.

It seemed as if he genuinely respected Tang Wen, and the two had never had any conflicts.

Since he was so sensible, Tang Wen naturally wouldn't make things difficult for him.

Originally, the upcoming box office performance of "Hero" was indeed impressive.

With a domestic box office of 2.5 million yuan and a global total box office of 1.77 million US dollars, it has significantly raised the ceiling for Chinese-language films.

But now!

It probably won't shock people much.

Domestically, "Infernal Affairs 2," produced by Tang Wen, grossed over 2 million yuan.

Overseas, Tang Wen is also the publisher of "Hero".

How much box office revenue "Hero" will ultimately generate depends on how much effort Tang Wenhua puts into promoting it.

"Director Tang!"

Director Tang

Not only the director and producer were present, but almost all the lead actors, except for Jet Li, were also there.

"Teacher Chen, Chaowei..."

"Hello, Director Tang. I often hear Zu Xian mention you," Man Shen greeted him.

Zhang Manyu is not a conventionally beautiful woman, but she has an exceptional temperament.

However, there's some exaggeration in what she said.

As far as Tang Wen knew, her relationship with her sister Zu Xian was just that of ordinary friends.

"Sister Manyu truly lives up to her title of Goddess Manyu; she is radiant with charm."

"No, no, I wouldn't dare," Zhang Manyu said, both surprised and flustered.

She and Leung Chiu-wai are somewhat similar; they shine on screen but are rather shy in private.

Actually, she wasn't lying; it's just that she's recently become interested in music.

I have recently contacted Wang Zuxian several times, hoping to learn from her experience.

"Director Tang, it's been a while."

"Sister Hua, Bingbing."

Wang Jinhua and Li Bingbing also came to join in the fun.

Chen Daoming is an actor under Wang Jinhua's management.

Although "Hero" was kept extremely secret before its release, Zhang Weiping was quite adept at making the promotional materials lively.

They wanted to invite every celebrity they could.

If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't get the people around Tang Wen to come, Tang Wen would probably have witnessed the scene of his own Shura Field if he had arrived today.

"Director Tang, I said I wanted to visit you when I was in Hollywood, but you were too busy and we didn't get to meet." A tea-sounding voice rang out.

You can tell it's Zhang Ziyi just by her voice.

Tang Wen didn't have any ill feelings towards her, but Li Bingbing, who was next to her, lost her smile after she came over.

Yes, Zhang Ziyi and Zhou Xun are now the four most popular young actresses.

None of the women in his family went up.

There's no indication yet that the term "Double Ice" is being used.

The Southern Media Group's newspapers are truly outrageous.

We need to make a splash later. What "Four Little Actresses"? Did they even ask me, Tang, for their opinion?

How dare they call themselves that?!
After exchanging pleasantries, he also greeted Zhen Zidan, who spoke with a thick accent.

Tang Wen led the way into the screening room.

Zhang Ziyi took the opportunity to put her arm around Tang Wen's left arm.

Tang Wen glanced at her, but she didn't seem to mind at all; in fact, she pressed herself even closer.

At this moment, Tang Wen finally realized what was going on.

Oh, it was "A".

Not to be outdone, Li Bingbing pursed her lips at Zhang Ziyi's back, took two quick steps, and grabbed Tang Wen's right arm.

Ah, Bingbing does have some talent.

Although not much, there is a little.

Moreover, even though he was wearing similar high heels, he was clearly taller than Zhang Ziyi.

Tang Wen glanced at it: Hmm, her legs are really white.

An international star, Zhang Ziyi, and Huayi Brothers' leading lady each embraced Tang Wen, their smiles becoming ambiguous.

Tang Wen joked, "That's how I got my reputation for being a womanizer."

Everyone was amused, and their impression of Tang Wen improved even more.

Sister Hua chimed in, praising, "It's mainly because you're so talented."

Tang Wen feigned displeasure: "Sister Hua, let's not talk about talent. My main advantage is that I'm handsome!"

"Hahaha……"

Director Tang is really interesting.

In the entertainment industry, once someone reaches a certain level, they often maintain a serious demeanor to preserve their prestige and status.

Such a humorous personality; not many people enjoy making fun of themselves.

Tang Wen also had the confidence to back it up.

Even though he jokes about himself every day, who would dare to underestimate him?

Zhang Ziyi looked at Tang Wen with a longing in her eyes.

Why didn't such a good candidate appear at the Central Academy of Drama?

Otherwise, what would Fan Bingbing, that little maid, have to do with it?

I don't know if I'll have a chance tonight.

She was staring intently when she suddenly met a pair of eyes that seemed to be smiling but weren't.

'Bitch!' x2
The two rising flowers smiled slightly at each other.

Tang Wen almost burst out laughing.

Looking at the feuds in the entertainment industry.

The top actresses directly engage in the competition, even daring to make sarcastic remarks about each other on television programs.

In private, she has stepped on skirts and even physically assaulted people.

When it comes to the actresses born in 85, their fans clash and speak vaguely.

Later on, the intensity of the fighting decreased again, and it took a long time to figure out who was at odds with whom.

The lights dimmed.

Movie playing.

Tang Wen quietly enjoyed the first blockbuster film from mainland China.

Desert, yellow sand, red clothes, green robes...

Long spears, long swords, calligraphy, a rain of arrows...

The intense, saturated colors, imbued with the spirit of martial arts, are immediately apparent.

Tang Wen couldn't help but exclaim, "Director Zhang truly deserves to be called a master of color!"

Zhang Yimou smiled silently, without saying anything polite.

After watching for a while, the two women next to him started to get restless.

Zhang Ziyi seemed to have her bones removed, her soft body constantly leaning against Tang Wen.

Like a little girl nestled on her boyfriend's shoulder.

Tang Wen glanced at her, but couldn't push her away forcefully, so he had no choice but to let her take advantage of him.

On the other side, Li Bingbing could barely suppress the sarcasm on her lips.

What's so special about a firewood girl?

Who gave you the courage to seduce Director Tang?

She took Tang Wen's hand and placed it on her plump thigh.

Ah, this.

I'm not that kind of person, Bingbing.

But you know what? It's both smooth and bouncy.

Sigh, isn't this making me make a mistake?
It's so hard to be a good man.

As her hand began to slide, Li Bingbing smiled gently and glanced at him.

I knew you liked long legs.

Tang Wen did not restrain himself.

He didn't withdraw his hand until the movie was almost over, and then gently nudged Zhang Ziyi again.

The three of them sat up straight.

When the lights came on, Tang Wen stood up and applauded, his eyes full of admiration as he looked at Zhang Yimou: "Director Zhang is indeed Director Zhang, this is sure to be a huge hit! I think the box office will definitely exceed 200 million!"

"Thank you for your kind words, Mr. Tang!" Zhang Yimou's face broke into a wide smile.

Zhang Weiping was equally excited. She wanted to spread the word about Tang Wen's words.

He's been stirring things up lately, hyping things up to the media, starting with something like "chartered flights for publicity."

It was also revealed that the Oscar-winning costume designer lived in Beijing for half a year in order to dye a piece of red cloth.

Recently, it was mentioned that a violin virtuoso played a violin worth $600 million in the film...

In short, this movie is a big production and a must-see!
Dinner in the evening.

Tang Wen promised that the remaining three million US dollars would arrive in his account as soon as possible.

When he said this, Zhang Ziyi, who was standing next to him, had sparkling eyes.

Despite her international fame, Zhang Ziyi's family background is actually quite modest.

At that time, even with a six-month commitment, Maggie Cheung could only earn a few hundred thousand US dollars in film remuneration.

Zhang Ziyi couldn't even get a price.

After dinner, Tang Wen, under Zhang Ziyi's regretful gaze, prepared to head to the airport. "What a coincidence, Director Tang, I also have a flight tonight. Could you give me a ride?" Before Tang Wen got into the car, Li Bingbing slipped over and unceremoniously climbed into the vehicle.

Enraged, Zhang Ziyi frowned and glared at her fiercely.

Shameless old woman!
Yes, Zhang Ziyi was born in 1979, and Li Bingbing was born in 1973.

I'm almost 30 this year.

Tang Wen naturally wouldn't refuse, and only after closing the car door did he say, "It's not a last-minute change of ticket, is it?"

Li Bingbing stuck out her tongue: "I just can't stand her slutty attitude. She made quite a few fools of herself at the 'Rush Hour' wrap party."

Tang Wen smiled.

At the 2001 Hong Kong Film Awards, Anita Mui and Chow Yun-fat even openly mocked him.

Mei: "How do Chinese actresses get into Hollywood?"

Zhou: "Let's catch the grapes!"

It refers to Zhang Ziyi feeding Chenglong grapes and even reaching out to catch the seeds in a flattering gesture.

It is said that Zhang Ziyi and Xiao Fang had a good relationship during filming.

"So, would you be willing to accept the grapes?" Tang Wen asked with a smile.

Li Bingbing rolled her eyes at him lightly: "That depends on who you're picking up."

Tang Wen looked at her, smiling without saying a word.

Li Bingbing wrapped her arms around his neck and brought her red lips close to his.

The plane landed in Beijing in the early hours of the morning.

Tang Wen rubbed his thigh the whole way, though he was eager to go home and eat some baijiu and admire the female knight-errant.

But it's not easy to back down and deny responsibility.

He took Li Bingbing into his car.

Where should I take you?

Li Bingbing gave directions, leading them to a fairly upscale residential area in Chaoyang.

She took Tang Wen's hand: "Come down and have a cup of tea."

"Why drink tea so late at night?"

Li Bingbing smiled. She and Tang Wen were acquaintances, and their relationship was somewhat ambiguous. She didn't take the rejection to heart: "Then come up and have a meal."

Are you sure it's for dinner?

"Hmph," Li Bingbing said coquettishly, clinging to his arm. "If you don't agree, I won't get off the bus."

Tang Wen smiled helplessly.

With deep affection in her eyes, Bingbing promised, "I didn't mean anything by it. I don't want to get involved in your harem struggles. I'm just thanking you for helping me all this time."

Having said that, it would be impolite not to get off the bus now.

The two got out of the car and walked downstairs hand in hand.

"The top floor is very quiet."

"Uh, your sister isn't home, is she?"

Li Bingbing gritted her teeth and gave a half-smile: "She's not here. She's in the next neighborhood. Shall I call her over for you?"

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm afraid you'll be embarrassed."

"Thank you so much for thinking of me!"

"Of course." He put his arm around her waist.

Go upstairs and open the door.

Li Bingbing couldn't wait to turn around and rush into Tang Wen's arms for a kiss.

As a 30-year-old older sister.

She had been suppressing it for far too long.

The two were kissing passionately, and Tang Wen's belt was even untied by his nimble little hands.

A soft click.

The lights are on.

Li Xue, wearing a beige nightgown, stood at the bedroom door, looking at the two of them with a shocked expression.

Even more shocked than her was Li Bingbing.

The latter froze, unsure whether to stand up first or turn around...

Tang Wen wasn't frightened; he had sharp ears and eyes and had already heard the footsteps.

I was just about to remind her, but she was quick enough.

Before he could utter a sound, his belt was undone.

Tang Wen pulled her up, without even pulling up his pants, and looked at the two women, saying, "Long time no see, Xiaoxue."

"Um, should I call you brother-in-law?" Li Xue asked, his tone complicated.

A local saying came to mind: "A sister-in-law has half of her manhood, which belongs to her brother-in-law."

"What are you yelling about?" Li Bingbing was furious. She first helped Tang Wen pull up his pants, then turned around and pushed him into the master bedroom. After closing the door, she said to her sister, "Why are you here?"

"Your fridge is empty, so we're here to deliver something to you."

"Send them off and then leave."

"When I came here, it rained lightly, which got me stuck here."

"Enough talk, let's go."

Li Xue was shocked: "You really have a man now, and you don't even want your sister anymore? Hmm, I can stay and serve you tea and water!"

"Li Xue, don't force me to take action." Li Bingbing understood her younger sister's little thoughts all too well.

That brat, she misses Tang Wen even more than I do.

"It's too late, it's not safe."

Li Bingbing sneered: "I'll escort you downstairs. There are Director Tang's bodyguards downstairs; I'll have them escort you."

Li Xue: Aba aba...

Unable to find any other reason, and not daring to ruin the opportunity her sister had finally gotten, she could only change her clothes and go downstairs in a sullen mood.

She dawdled as she left the house, about to turn around and say something.

With a bang, Li Bingbing slammed the door shut: "The Mercedes with its lights on downstairs is Director Tang's car. Have them take you home. Don't let me see you tomorrow morning!"

The older sister is very thorough in her thinking.

Li Xue was so angry that she banged on the door, cursing her sister for being short-sighted and not understanding the hard truth of "sisters who subdue dragons together".

Lock the door from the inside.

Li Bingbing went into the master bedroom.

There was no one in bed, and the sound of running water came from the bathroom.

Li Bingbing didn't stand on ceremony and went straight into the bathroom: "Mr. Tang, would you like a back scrub?"

"Huh? Why are you the only one? I ordered two technicians!"

man!

……

The next day.

Tang Wen ate the breakfast his bodyguard had bought, left a portion for Li Bingbing, and then went downstairs to leave.

noon.

11:59 minutes.

Li Xue arrived at her sister's door right on time.

I stared at my phone and the time came to 12:00:00.

He eagerly turned the key and opened the door.

Sniff sniff...

what

They don't even know how to ventilate.

The men's shoes were gone. She pursed her lips, walked towards the master bedroom, and pushed open the half-closed door.

Take a deep breath.

The floor was a mess: black stockings, purple underwear, white yoga pants...

What weird stuff you guys are doing!
She felt like she missed out on a hundred million, no, several hundred million!
Only my sister, her skin white, remained on the bed.

Looks like he's sleeping soundly.

Hmm? What's that rolled up in a ball by the bed?
Isn't this the nightgown I wore yesterday?
Li Xue was shocked!

You, you actually!
She took a deep breath, her chest heaving.

I wish I could throw the breakfast I was holding at my sister's face right now.

Fortunately, she held back, gritted her teeth, moved a stool to the edge of the bed, and stared at Li Bingbing.

I'd like to see how you try to explain yourself...
