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

Chapter 268 The Battle of Talented Women, A Night for Three
Quentin's eyes flashed with astonishment, and his heart was filled with panic.

Not to the point.

Robert is a partner at New Line Cinema and Galaxy Entertainment, and one of the industry's second-tier bigwigs.

Although I'm not a good person, I still slept with your person.

But this woman is clearly a minor celebrity who hasn't made it big yet.

Aside from her nice feet, her face and figure are just so-so.

How many women like that could you possibly have?

In an instant, many thoughts flashed through my mind.

Faced with several tall and burly bodyguards, Quentin, who was also under pressure, was no pushover and quickly devised a strategy.

"She seduced me first," the words were about to slip out.

After all, they've already had their share of comfort.

As a male director in Hollywood, he's willing to make any promise before he loosens his belt.

After giving it to him, he pulled up his pants and his tone became firm again.

"It was director Quentin Tarantino who seduced me with his characters!"

Before Quentin could explain, the young star behind him jumped out to criticize him.

Anyway, he's so fast, and it doesn't suit my taste.

Quentin, the rogue, opened his mouth wide in surprise and turned to look at her: "Well, you woman, you really have no sense of courtesy at all, how could you speak the truth like that?"

Robert looked at the two of them with a gloomy expression.

Three tall, burly bodyguards surrounded them from behind.

The one in the middle even put his hand inside his clothes at the waist.

Quentin was shocked. Was this New Line Cinema boss really that ruthless?

He shouted, "Misunderstanding! Absolutely a misunderstanding! If I had known she was your girl..."

"Shut up, keep your voice down!" Robert is a respectable man.

He waved for the three bodyguards to step back.

"You three wait outside, Quentin will come in and we'll talk."

After saying that, he led the way inside, giving the woman a look: "You go out first."

The young star was quite a good actor; he slipped away along the wall.

Quentin breathed a sigh of relief, hesitated for a moment, and followed Robert into the house.

"What do you see in that woman?"

"Huh?" Quentin was taken aback by the question.

Robert: "Just chatting."

Quentin simply stated frankly: "Her feet are beautiful."

Robert laughed: "We have the same taste, but she's nothing special."

"Ok?"

Do you know anyone better?
Realizing this, Quentin was no longer in a hurry to leave.

I started chatting with Robert.

The latter was extorting money from Quentin, demanding an explanation and a small favor.

Quentin, the rogue, became extremely wary: "What kind of small job is this?"

"Hi, our company recently acquired a new Eastern martial arts film. Apart from the lead actor Jet Lee, the rest of the cast isn't very well-known. Maybe we can use your fame to promote it."

Robert's attitude of "since you've stumbled upon this, of course you should take advantage of it" actually convinced Quentin.

These Hollywood bigwigs are all people who won't do anything without profit.

It would be a miracle if he let himself off easily.

The story of Eastern martial arts stirred something within Quentin.

He's a martial arts enthusiast and is currently preparing to film *Kill Bill*.

However, Quentin still defended himself, saying, "It sounds like a big job."

Robert watched him quietly.

Quentin coughed and said, "It'll cost more."

"More money? You son of a bitch, have you forgotten what you just did in this room!"

Quentin, sticking his neck out, said, "At most, I'll give you a discount, a 20% reduction, one million US dollars."

Robert sneered, "I was planning to introduce you to two even better ones later."

Ah, this?

"Is it the feet that look better?"

Robert nodded slightly: "I guarantee you'll be satisfied."

Quentin changed his mind: "It's a deal, the price is negotiable, and I'll help you promote it however you like!"

Having reached an agreement on cooperation, he eagerly asked, "When will we sign the contract?"

Robert: "Okay, okay, you're really in a hurry."

"No, some people don't like me getting too close to you. Signing a contract early will avoid trouble." Quentin gave off an air of "I'm not a womanizer."

The next morning.

He arrived at Galaxy Entertainment with his lawyer.

Upon receiving the news, Robert summoned the company's legal counsel and rushed over: "Have the lawyer review the contract first, and we'll watch the final version."

"it is good."

The movie "Hero" does have its merits.

Even though Americans might not fully understand the logic, it's not a bad movie.

Quentin breathed a sigh of relief: "If the two women you introduce are really as beautiful as you say, I can lower my fee for being a nominal producer and attending events."

He's willing to pay for his hobby!
"A word is settled!"

Sign the contract.

The opening sequence of "Hero" now includes a caption: "[Producer: Quentin Tarantino]"

Of course, this change only applies to the United States and Japan.

At noon, Robert treated Quentin to a meal.

Tang Wen brought Lin Zhiling to the banquet.

When Quentin saw the exquisitely beautiful Lin Jie, he subconsciously glanced down at her feet before looking away.

Tang Wen raised his glass to welcome him: "I heard you're making a martial arts film?"

"That's right, the idea was already in mind: a bride in a wedding dress, wielding a long sword, fighting until her head is bleeding..."

It's the plot of Kill Bill.

The story of a bride's revenge.

Do you need to invest?

“It’s already been approved, and Harvey is the producer.” Noticing that Tang Wen and Robert wanted a piece of the pie, Quentin brought up his big brother.

Actually, it's about collaborating with Robert today.

He also spoke with Harvey.

However, according to him, he had accidentally seduced Robert's woman and had no choice but to agree to cooperate.

It wasn't that he was tempted by some woman with beautiful feet.

Harvey is busy arguing with the president of Disney and negotiating with the woman who accused him of sexual assault; he simply doesn't have time to help Quentin Tarantino.

Since Quentin can handle it, let him be.

"Harvey, it seems like you're in some trouble lately?" Tang Wen asked casually.

"He can handle some minor issues, having been in Hollywood for so long."

Tang Wen hinted, "That's good. Just don't let Harvey get overwhelmed and leave Miramax in the end. That would affect your cooperation."

Ok?
Harvey leaving Miramax?
Quentin was taken aback.

It seems that Harvey doesn't actually own many shares in the company.

Tang Wen's original intention was to dig at the base of the wall with a hoe, and then he said, "I've dealt with Michael, this Disney tyrant, and he's really not an easy person to get along with."

Quentin couldn't help but worry: Yes, Harvey's opponent this time is the president of Disney.

"As a fellow director, let me add a few words: Quentin, you must keep control of the film and the right to remake sequels in your own hands."

Sensing the sincerity in Tang Wen's words, Quentin nodded emphatically: This Director Tang is a really nice person.

We also exchanged a few negative comments about the president of Disney.

He gradually lowered his guard and found Tang Wen increasingly pleasing to the eye.

After a few glasses of whiskey, he talked to Tang Wen about other personal quirks.

Lin Chih-ling has such high emotional intelligence! Afraid that the men present would feel uncomfortable with her there, she left early and went to the garden outside the restaurant to have a private table.

As soon as she left, Quentin Tarantino, true to form, became unrestrained and began to talk at length about the aesthetics of "foot".

After listening for a while, he realized there was some information, but not much. Tang Wen casually gave him a brief explanation: "bound feet" and "A swallow can dance on a palm."

Quentin was immediately awestruck and asked him to elaborate, repeatedly saying, "China is truly an amazing place; I must go there."

Tang Wen's lips twitched: If you're coming, you'd better have something important to say!

The three chatted idly indoors.

Lin Chih-ling, who was drinking sparkling water outside, had her phone ring.

This phone is for domestic affairs.

She hesitated for a moment after seeing the caller's name, but still answered the phone.

"Hello, Assistant Lin, I will arrive in Los Angeles tomorrow afternoon."

“Okay, Ms. Tang Wei. I will inform Mr. Tang this afternoon.” Lin Zhiling’s voice was gentle.

“Hmm,” Tang Wei paused for a moment. Reason told her that Lin Zhiling, the beautiful woman who gave up her domestic acting career to follow Tang Wen to Hollywood, definitely had a close relationship with him.

Unexpectedly, the other party spoke so frankly.

"Thank you. However, I don't want him to know beforehand; I plan to surprise him."

Lin Chih-ling's pretty face tightened: "In principle, I can't hide anything from him, nor can I. I can book a luxury suite for you, and the hotel will provide airport pick-up service. Then, we can have dinner nearby and bump into you."

Tang Wei was unsure of what to do. Why did this woman show no emotion at all when she heard that another woman had come to see Tang Wen?

The two made this arrangement.

That evening, Tang Wei, having finished filming "Jade Goddess of Mercy," flew to Los Angeles with his bodyguard team.

The movie "Jade Goddess of Mercy" started earlier than the original timeline.

With Tang Wen as his backer, Tang Wei, who had not yet graduated, made thorough preparations and boldly directed and acted in the film himself.

She is a shareholder of Tangren Media and can use the company's resources at will.

During the preparation stage, director Li Guoli provided a lot of advice and suggestions.

There are three male characters with significant roles in this film.

Because of Tang Wen, she had previously worked with Chen Kun in the TV series "Coffee Time".

This time, Chen Kun was invited again, along with Huang Xiaoming and Zu Feng, who are close to Tang Wen.

The three actors have decent acting skills and are quite famous.

The fact that the three of them starred in the same movie was a gimmick and beneficial for publicity.

They were all from the 96 class of Beijing Film Academy.

As male celebrities who have a good relationship with Tang Wen, the three of them also opened personal accounts on Renren.com.

He occasionally posts updates from the set.

Adding to the fact that Tang Wei, the Tokyo Film Festival Best Actress winner, is Tang Wen's rumored love interest, the topic was already quite popular on Renren.com.

This has made many young people look forward to the movie "Jade Goddess of Mercy".

Tang Wei's act of directing and starring in a film, coupled with his low-key and unassuming demeanor, is a testament to his talent.

This has garnered her a lot of fans, not only among male students but also among many female college students.

I think she's beautiful and capable.

I'm optimistic that she and Tang Wen will end up together.

After several months of accumulation, her number of followers exceeded 20.

The majority of them are students and young people.

With so many people recognizing her talent, Tang Wei's reputation as a "talented woman" is subtly showing signs of surpassing Xu Jinglei's.

Xu Cainu, one of the "Four Little Actresses," did not direct her breakthrough film, "Letter from an Unknown Woman."

To be precise, she can no longer direct this film.

Because the adaptation rights to the novel belong to Tang Wen, the plan is to cast Da Meiyuan in the role.

In addition, Xu Jinglei's film "Spring Subway" this year was released at the same time as Tang Wen's "A World Without Thieves" and the American blockbuster "Star Wars" series, resulting in a pitifully low box office performance.

Some media outlets have dubbed her "box office poison."

Several influential figures in Beijing's elite circles stepped forward to defend her, criticizing the media for their inaccurate reporting and blaming a young girl for the box office failure.

With the support of influential figures in Beijing's elite circles, Xu Cai Nu (Xu Cai Nu) is incredibly resilient.

I'm currently preparing for my first film, "Me and My Dad," which I will both direct and star in.

We don't know the specifics of the movie, but the hype has already begun.

The media, always eager for a connection, compared her to Tang Wei.

Both are young and beautiful actresses.

Another one in the south and another in the north.

They also became directors around the same time.

It's perfectly normal for them to be compared.

Xu Jinglei was at a great disadvantage because of Renren.com and Tang Wen.

In terms of acting, although she has won awards, their prestige is incomparable to Tang Wei's Best Actress award in Tokyo.

In terms of topics, he is not as good as Tang Wei.

Following Tang Wen's instructions, Renren.com secretly lent a hand: fans were already calling for "Tang Wei to be one of the Four Little Actresses, and some unworthy people should be kicked out."

The two became rivals.

Xu Jinglei is unable to join Renren.com.

She asked around, but Renren.com rejected her request.

Just kidding. You're not a celebrity from the Blue Galaxy. You can register, but Renren.com won't verify that you are [Xu Jinglei] herself.

In the original timeline, Xu Jinglei became famous through her blog.

But that was after 2005.

2002 was the first year that blogs entered China.

The total number of users is pitifully small, less than 10,000.

Renren.com is planning a "combination of blogs and microblogs" and is preparing to launch it on a large scale next year.

Before its official launch, artists from the Blue Star System, as well as those with good relationships with Tang Wen, will be able to use it for a period of time in advance.

Cultivate audience and reader engagement.

Barring unforeseen circumstances, Xu Jinglei will not be able to replicate her path to fame in this life.

It's not hard to see from her experience.

In this lifetime, thanks to Tang Wen's existence, artists from the Blue Star System will be among the first to reap the benefits of the internet boom!
Whether the original four rising stars can truly become recognized leading actresses a few years later, just like in their previous lives, is uncertain.

Fan Bingbing was also keeping a close eye on Zhao Gege's position.

Zhao Gege has a nickname of "box office poison," but Fan Bingbing does not.

This year, she played a sexy and aloof female thief in "A World Without Thieves," and with several classic songs from her new album, she is more popular than Tang Wei.

Even excluding Wang Zuxian and Yu Feihong, two actresses who are a bit older.

The Blue Galaxy also has Gao Yuanyuan.

Not only was she the female lead in "Infernal Affairs," but she also won the role of Zhou Zhiruo in the casting of "Heavenly Sword and Dragon Sabre" through "fair voting by netizens."

His fame skyrocketed.

As long as her performances in "Infernal Affairs 3" and "Heavenly Sword and Dragon Sabre" are decent, she will definitely be among the top actresses.

Speaking of which, she was invited to star in "Spring Subway" during its preparation, to play a supporting role to Xu Jinglei.

In the original timeline, she did indeed appear in the film.

But now, the team has flatly refused.

Are you kidding me? You think the beautiful Yuanyuan would be your supporting character?
Do you deserve it?
Key duplication? How many...?

The afternoon that Tang Wei's plane landed.

Inside the chairman's office of Galaxy Entertainment, Sister Lin, who already had a deep understanding of Tang Wen, was present.

She was using her legs to measure Mr. Tang's waist circumference.

"What's wrong with you today? Why are you so excited?"

Tang Wen supported her.

The peaches were heavy with ripe fruit.

Lin Chih-ling certainly wouldn't say: "A vixen is coming tonight, so I'm going to squeeze her dry first."

It's impossible to prevent a woman from being jealous.

Even someone as sensible as Lin Chih-ling, after having feelings for Tang Wen, still dreamed of possessing him exclusively.

In the evening, Sister Lin and Tang Wen had a candlelight dinner.

Tang Wei appeared at the restaurant wearing a black backless evening gown and a white pearl necklace.

However, as she approached the table, her expression gradually darkened.

Lin Chih-ling's candlelight dinner was for three people.

Lin Chih-ling and Tang Wen sat facing each other, leaving a seat for her in the middle.

Who has a candlelight dinner for three people?
