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

Chapter 293 Other Female Stars: I Would Do It Too
In 2003, many places were launching landmark buildings or commercial complexes.

However, aside from the locals who are paying some attention.

Most people don't care which city or what they're planning to build.

Even most locals don't care.

I wouldn't even glance at it until I passed by one day and saw a place surrounded by green screens, turned into a construction site.

However, if we add the line "Tangwen invests 5 billion yuan in development" to this news article...

The publicity was absolutely phenomenal.

Renren.com and other portal websites.

The news was forwarded overnight.

"This Tang Wen, is it just a coincidence of names? He can't possibly be the director I know, right?"

"Where did Tang Wen get 5 billion?"

"What is 5 billion? Vietnamese dong?"

"Unified response: It's director Tang Wen! According to official news reports, the initial investment of one billion yuan has already been received."

"..."

After the groundbreaking ceremony, they agreed at a dinner to establish a company specifically for investing in Baidu.

After seeing all the guests off,

It's already late at night.

Tang Wen quietly returned to the hotel.

"Honey's back? All the important business's done, wow, oh dear~ there's a strong smell of alcohol..."

Tang Wen hugged Tang Wei, who came to greet him, and listened to her chattering away. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Even with such a large project, there are still uncertainties before it is implemented, and even someone as composed as him can't help but feel nervous.

Now that it's officially launched, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Tang Wei arrived from Shanghai this evening.

With the intention of making it convenient for her to visit others in the evening, Tang Wen also arranged for her to stay at the West Lake State Guesthouse.

The area here is quite large; according to the guest room manager, it covers more than 500 acres and has seven buildings.

There shouldn't be any need to worry about a car accident, right?

Tang Wei pushed him into the bathroom. On the sink, a toothbrush lay flat on the rim of a cup, toothpaste already squeezed onto it. His brand-new pajamas smelled fresh. Tang Wen quickly rinsed off, wrapped himself in a towel, and came out. He saw several plates of food laid out on a small table next to the balcony.

"The food was served so quickly?" Tang Wen looked at the West Lake Fish in Vinegar Sauce: It looks pretty good, but will it taste good?
"I contacted Xia Tian before you even left the house. I had the chef start cooking as soon as you got on the bus. Wasn't the timing perfect?" Tang Wei winked playfully.

Her eyes were the classic doe eyes.

A blinking gaze fixed on you can touch your heart.

Tang Wen smiled and praised her a couple of times, knowing that if he wanted her to continue being considerate, he needed to give her some compliments.

They squeezed together on the large sofa.

"Try the vinegar fish, a famous dish from West Lake."

Tang Wen spent the evening drinking and socializing, and didn't eat much at all. To be precise, apart from breakfast, he didn't eat much at noon or dinner.

I was holding my breath outside, not feeling anything was wrong.

After taking a shower and relaxing, he was starving, but when faced with the vinegar fish, he immediately declined, saying, "I'll have some Dongpo pork first."

When you're hungry, nothing satisfies your appetite more than Dongpo pork with rice.

He slurped down half a bowl of meat and a bowl of matsutake mushroom rice.

Tang Wen picked up the warmed rice wine and took a sip with satisfaction.

A cup of warm yellow wine with plums and rock sugar, and the warmth spreads up from the stomach.

My whole body feels warm and cozy.

"Is the fish really that delicious?" He put down his wine glass and noticed that Tang Wei had left several famous dishes untouched, such as bayberry wine with shrimp and matsutake rice, and hadn't even drunk the West Lake water shield stems.

He kept showing off his fish.

"Mmm, that's fantastic! It truly lives up to their chef's reputation as a specialty. I'll order it again tomorrow."

Tang Wen picked up his chopsticks with some skepticism and took a bite. His stereotype was shattered: "It's made with Shaoxing wine and rice vinegar, and it has a bit of a crab flavor."

After we finished showing off our delicious meal, the waiter cleaned up the mess.

Tang Wen closed the door.

Turning around, Tang Wei walked out of the bedroom, wearing a loose white shirt.

Her clothes were half-buttoned, revealing glimpses of her fair skin.

Looking down, all you could see were a pair of straight, shapely legs encased in black stockings, with no trousers visible at all.

I don't know if it's worn, or worn?
Slightly tipsy, Tang Wei licked her lips with a suggestive look in her eyes, skillfully tied her hair into a high ponytail, and pulled Tang Wen into the bathroom to brush her teeth and wash her hands.

"Your nails are long, let me trim them for you."

"Uh, whatever you want." Huang Shengyi didn't cause much trouble last night.

Speaking of Miss Huang, Tang Wen called her on his way here and said he might go home late that night, or not at all.

The nail clippers kept clicking.

He then buried his head in the fragrant, but not very soft, shirt.

hmm~
In terms of softness, it's about the same as last night.

Her hand landed on the stockings again: Hmm, Tang Wei's legs are even better.

"Stop fooling around, be careful not to bite your skin with the nail clippers."

Tang Wen remained silent, only bowing his head repeatedly.

The two came out of the bathroom, and Tang Wei transformed into a giant koala, clinging to him.

Her eyes were alluring, like those of a vixen trying to drain a man's life force...

Tang Wen had an unusually large appetite; he ate his dinner with gusto but was still not full.

As the saying goes, food is the most important thing for people.

How can you not eat your fill?

Tang Wei collapsed into a limp, lifeless body and fell into a deep sleep.

He changed his clothes, left the room, and strolled to another building.

"Brother, you're back!" Huang Shengyi jumped off the sofa and rushed into his arms barefoot.

Compared to the relatively mature young lady, she was completely in a fangirl state.

They rarely have their own opinions when doing things.

He was completely obedient to Tang Wen, his teacher, from beginning to end.

"Still not asleep so late."

"I've been waiting for you," Huang Shengyi said, blushing slightly. "I slept too long during the day."

I was too tired last night, so I woke up at noon and ate too much, then slept all afternoon.

"Give me your coat."

"Okay, I'm going to take a shower."

Huang Shengyi took Tang Wen's coat, lowered his head and sniffed it: Sure enough, it wasn't an illusion, it smelled like a woman's perfume.

It smells quite high-end.

It's a pity she's not an artist under Tangren Media, otherwise, she would have smelled the same scent on Mr. Tang.

Xiao Huang's smile vanished, and her eyes slowly dimmed.

"La la la..."

Tang Wen's singing could be heard coming from the bathroom, whose door wasn't closed properly.

So happy?
Dissatisfied, Huang Shengyi hung up her clothes and returned to the bathroom door. She tentatively asked, "Did things go smoothly?"

"Everything went very smoothly, and I had a few extra drinks tonight."

Xiao Huang nodded: Oh, so there's a dinner party.

My brother is doing great things outside, so it's inevitable that he'll put on an act.

Moreover, he didn't even change his clothes, which means there's nothing wrong with him.

Otherwise, if he changes into a suit and comes back, or simply doesn't come back at night, he won't notice anything at all.

The more she thought about it, the more sense it made.

Pushing open the door and facing the rising steam, she smiled and said, "Sir, would you like a back scrub service?"

Tang Wen didn't change his clothes on purpose, or perhaps he was just too lazy to deal with such details.

Didn't she notice?

impossible?

But regardless, you should enjoy the back-scrubbing service.

Some wrinkled skin,
It requires gentle deep cleaning.

The next morning, Tang Wen went for a run in the hotel park.

Huang Shengyi and Tang Wei are of average combat strength.

We don't have the ability to make him take a nap.

The groundbreaking ceremony for Thang Long Plaza has concluded.

There's still a lot to come.

Tang Wen remained in Yuhang.

He wouldn't leave, and neither would the two women. Fortunately, they were too tired from the night before and didn't have the energy to go out during the day.

Even if you want a spa or massage, you'll invite the staff to your room.

"what--"

That afternoon, a scream came from the bedroom.

Tang Wen took two steps to the bedroom door and saw Tang Wei holding a laptop, looking as excited as a monkey.

"You won the lottery?"

"No, you, me, that, the project you invested in at Yuhang, a billion?" Tang Wei threw down his computer, so shocked that he was incoherent.

"No."

"Huh?" Tang Wei seemed to have been paused, his rich expression frozen on his face.

Tang Wen smiled faintly: "It's 5 billion, with the first investment being 1 billion."

"Ah—I knew it was true! It's on the news!" Tang Wei hugged him and stood on tiptoe to shower him with kisses.

After the initial excitement, the two lay down on the bed. Holding Tang Wen's hand, she couldn't help but worry, "Such a big project, will the funding come from?"

"Do not worry."

"That's five billion! And there's still four billion left!" Limited by his experience, Tang Wei couldn't help but worry for Tang Wen.

To dispel her doubts, Tang Wen had no choice but to take decisive action.

Tang Wei knew about this because Cai Yinong saw the news and called him.

Cai Yinong is not from a traditional industry, yet she knew about it, which proves that the news has already begun to spread widely.

At that time, the internet was not very developed.

The mobile internet is still a novel concept, and it will take two days for the news to cause a stir.

They dealt with Tang Wei.

Tang Wen took out his phone and saw: Good heavens, dozens of missed calls and hundreds of unread text messages.

His high-end phone, capable of storing 300 text messages, was completely filled by this wave of messages.

Once your phone's text message storage is full, you won't be able to view new messages unless you delete some of the older ones.

This problem can only be solved with the advent of smartphones.

After deleting messages for several minutes, Tang Wen opened a message from Huang Xiaoming: [Junior brother, you're amazing! 50 billion investment, 10 billion in cash! You're the pride of Beijing Film Academy!]

He smiled and said, "Brother Xiaoming knows how to talk."

However, it's not nearly as good as Director Feng's line to Wang Shuo, "I looked up and saw the North Star today."

Brother Xiaoming, you need to work harder!

Gao Yuanyuan, Dong Xuan, Fan Bingbing, and Jia Jingwen all called.

Liu Qiangdong, Sun Chao, and Zhang Yan, all company executives located both domestically and internationally, also called to inquire.

The shock caused by one billion was too great.

Let alone in 2003, even in 2030, there will be very few entertainment companies that can come up with a billion dollars in cash at once.

Moreover, Tang Wen funded the project on his own.

On the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, Huang Xiaoming had a rare free time in Beijing.

I organized a gathering of students from the Beijing Film Academy.

Besides their Class of '96, many students from other grades at Beijing Film Academy also came.

For example, Dong Xuan and Guan Yue.

"Junior Sister Xuan! Director Tang is amazing!" As soon as he entered the room, Chen Kun gave two thumbs up at the same time.

"Yes, Sister Xuan, if it weren't for the detailed news reports from Jiangnan and the photos of Director Tang, I would have thought it was a big entrepreneur with the same name."

It was Wang Luodan who spoke.

This girl is Huang Shengyi's roommate. Huang Shengyi had a falling out with her because Dong Xuan gave her a role.

The two have pretty much broken up.

Now I often hang out with Dong Xuan.

Everyone was present except for Zhao Gege. Fan Bingbing dug up her past scandals, causing her to lose face online, and she hasn't wanted to see anyone lately.

But there were already many people present: Fu Dalong, Jin Qiaoqiao, Jiang Qinqin, Hai Qing, Yan Danchen, Zu Feng, Guo Xiaodong, He Lin...

Those who came with Dong Xuan included Guan Yue, Wang Luodan, Huang Bo, Liu Yifei, and Jiang Yiyan, who had been pestering Liu Yifei to come along.

In addition, there are family members of Guan Yue from the Shanghai Theatre Academy, and Tong Dawei.

As a rising star, he has seen many big stages and is not intimidated.

After exchanging pleasantries, the conversation naturally turned to Tang Wen.

"A billion yuan? He just pulled it out like that."

"I think Mr. Tang was born in 00, right?"

"That's right, they've only been in the industry for a short time."

"No one in the industry should have that kind of ability."

"Let alone an individual, I don't think any company has that kind of capability."

The veracity of the news is beyond question.

Jiangnan TV's evening and morning news have repeatedly reported on this over the past two days, with reporters conducting on-site interviews and providing clear and concise answers from Tang Wen and relevant department leaders.

If you continue to doubt, you'll get scolded.

"Xuanzi is truly blessed."

"Hey!" Dong Xuan said with pride, "He's too determined to invest; I can't dissuade him."

In fact, Tang Wen hadn't discussed it with her at all.

For minor matters, you can ask a woman.

They didn't understand things that determined their future and destiny.

"The ratings for 'The Story of a Noble Family' starring Dong Xuan, Kun Ge, and Yi Fei are pretty good."

Chen Kun glanced at Huang Xiaoming and laughed, "Didn't you notice?"

"what?"

"Any film produced by Director Tang's company is guaranteed to have high TV ratings and high box office returns."

With the internet not being well-developed, statistical data is not so easy to access.

But those present were all insiders, and those who hadn't paid attention before, after this remark, nodded secretly in agreement.

"Now everyone says that anything made by Blue Star is a top-quality product."

As everyone continued to praise her, Dong Xuan waved her hand repeatedly, inadvertently revealing the 18k rose gold diamond-encrusted watch on her wrist and the colored gold bracelet on her other wrist.

The female celebrities have such sharp eyes; they spotted it immediately.

When they went to have drinks with Dong Xuan a while later, the topic naturally came up.

When Jin Qiaoqiao asked, Dong Xuan replied, "It was given by Tang Wen. He just spends money recklessly."

I learned that this watch costs over 300,000.

The women were incredibly envious.

That price is enough to buy an apartment in Beijing.

People just wear it on their hands like that.

No wonder these people are constantly tearing each other apart online over Tang Wen!
Director Tang is so generous when he goes out, he's incredibly handsome, and he has a great temper.

If we're talking about being generous with money and having a good temper, female celebrities' suitors can barely compare.

His good looks, which surpass those of most male celebrities, bring him a natural attraction and the film and television resources that female celebrities value most.

That is something no one can match.

They make anyone they promote famous.

Dong Xuan hadn't even graduated yet when she was given the absolute female lead role of Goddess Dragon, and quickly became famous.

Fan Bingbing's first film was a huge success, and her second film was even submitted to Cannes.

As for whether she will actually win the Best Actress award.

Female celebrities in the industry wouldn't even dare to dream of it; they secretly hope she doesn't get it.

Otherwise, they wouldn't dare to imagine how jealous they would be!

Who is Fan Bingbing? She has no formal training in acting and has never played the female lead in a TV series more than twice.

So now she's aiming for international Best Actress?

There were also Gao Yuanyuan and Wang Zuxian, one a newcomer and the other past her prime, but they were put on the music album of the top Hong Kong production "Infernal Affairs" and their careers skyrocketed.

The money that Wang Zuxian earns is the envy of many in the entertainment industry.

Honestly, if I were given that treatment, I would also be willing to fight against other women for Director Tang!
Jin Qiaoqiao even thought sourly: If it were me, I would never start a fight unless necessary. As long as Tang Wen doesn't bring other women in front of me to show off his love, how hard is it to turn a blind eye?
She couldn't help herself and, seemingly calmly, stirred things up: "Dong Xuan, shouldn't your next step be to develop your career in the film industry?"

Guan Yue, Dong Xuan's best friend standing next to her, raised her eyebrows slightly.

Xuanzi just mentioned being a producer working on a big project, and this woman asked what movie it was.

It's not that she's being overly sensitive; it's just that when the two best friends are together, they often "analyze each other's rivals" and try to figure out who Tang Wen loves more.

After counting them up, if it weren't for Xuanzi being the top female star on Blue Star, and Tang Wen being the chairman of Blue Star, it would be impossible.

In terms of resources, we are really at a disadvantage.

Especially movies!
Guan Yue frowned, hesitating whether to speak up for her best friend.

Dong Xuan smiled and said, "He's helping me with the negotiations."

This statement is thought-provoking, and Jin Qiaoqiao and the others were astonished: There really is such a thing?!
