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

Chapter 294 Call me Master Tang? In ancient times, you would definitely be an empress!
The collaboration with Zhang Yimou has not been disclosed to the public and is currently in a confidential stage.

Jin Qiaoqiao and the other two actresses wanted to ask more questions, but Dong Xuan changed the subject.

We're not familiar with each other, so there's no need to share information with them.

In fact, it wasn't just kept secret from them.

Even Guan Yue only had a vague understanding; she only knew that Tang Wen was planning a female lead role for Dong Xuan in a movie, but it was possible that he wouldn't be directing it.

Jin Qiaoqiao absentmindedly left Dong Xuan's side and returned to her seat.

People flocked to her, trying to build rapport and drink with her; she was clearly the center of attention.

Let's think about Tang Wen's investment of 1 billion yuan in cash.

Envy and jealousy welled up in my heart.

Her success and glamorous career are all thanks to her connection with Director Tang, aren't they?

How did I come to know Tang Wen?
No director in the industry is a pushover.

Besides, Director Tang is a notorious womanizer and talented man.

Given the right opportunity to meet the other person, then... when it comes to beauty and seducing men, who's afraid of whom?
Jin Qiaoqiao once amazed the public with her role as the "Peacock Princess" in Journey to the West.

At 27 or 8 years old, she maintains her appearance and figure very well.

When it comes to looks, I've never been better than anyone.

After the dinner, Dong Xuan's Mercedes-Benz van drew attention from many people who were seeing it for the first time.

"Sisi, do you want me to give you a ride?" Dong Xuan asked Liu Yifei.

"No need, Sister Xuan, my car is here too."

A similar minivan slowly drove out of the parking lot.

Liu Yifei is young, so everyone in the company takes care of her.

Dong Xuan watched as she led Jiang Yiyan into the car before leaving with Guan Yue and Wang Luodan.

"This car must be expensive, right?" someone asked after they left.

"It's completely imported; I don't think it's sold domestically," Huang Xiaoming remarked. "Director Tang is so generous!"

"How come that little girl has one too?"

"Do all the artists in their company have them?"

"Don't talk nonsense, only Dong Xuan and her group have it."

"..."

Although their tone was joking, they were even more envious when they heard the car-savvy male celebrity talking about "airline seats."

Jin Qiaoqiao, emboldened by the alcohol, said, "Director Tang has such a great reputation, but I've only seen his movies, never met him in person."

“Yes,” Chen Zihan chimed in.

The two exchanged meaningful glances. Huang Xiaoming secretly admired how attractive his junior brother Tang Wen was, and then laughed it off, saying, "There will definitely be opportunities in the future."

The two women, however, were not so easily fooled.

Huang Xiaoming intentionally ignored it, but then he thought of Jia Jingwen.

The actress who co-starred with him in "The Emperor of Han Dynasty" wanted her to introduce him to Tang Wen.

I didn't agree.

Now look what's happened, they've set up the connection themselves.

It is said that she is quite "favored".

She directly played the female lead Zhao Min in the Jin Yong drama "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber".

He had unwittingly become the "bad guy".

Looking at Jin Qiaoqiao and Chen Zihan's pretty faces, he sighed inwardly and replied, "How about this, Director Tang definitely has a new movie starting filming in China this year, I'll invite everyone to visit the set together then."

"Okay! It's a deal then."

"It's a deal, it's a deal."

"Director Tang's contact information..."

Huang Xiaoming took out his phone from his pocket, his expression changing slightly: "Hello? What? Okay, I'll be right back."

I ignored what they were saying.

Huang Xiaoming hurriedly got into the car and drove off.

For him, he has to consider both sides.

There's nothing wrong with visiting the set publicly; it's common for people to visit Director Tang's film crew.

But if he gives his contact information to other female celebrities, and Dong Xuan, Fan Bingbing, and their group of women find out, they'll probably deal with him.

A few days passed.

Tang Wen's official business in Jiangnan Province is basically complete.

With the help of influential figures, news of his investment of 5 billion yuan made it to major newspapers!
Guangming Daily:
Cultural Industry Supports Real Economy! Tangwen Invests 50 Billion Yuan to Build Jiangnan CBD

21st Century Business Herald:
A 50 billion yuan gamble on the CBD! Can the "Tang Wen Effect" replicate the Shenzhen miracle?

Jiangnan Evening News:

Local director spends a whopping 50 billion! Jiangnan CBD plans revealed: aiming to rival Tokyo's Ginza.

"A Director's Crossover into City Building: The Ambition and Risks Behind Tangwen's 50 Billion Yuan CBD Plan"

……

Regardless of how the main title is written.

The subtitles all unanimously indicate that the initial 10 billion yuan in cash has already been received!

People from all walks of life who follow the news and regularly read newspapers are often momentarily stunned when they see the headlines on the front and side pages.

"Good heavens, when I saw the title, 'Director Tang Wen builds a city'? I thought I was still asleep!"

"An investment of 5 billion? How much box office revenue does the entire national film market generate in a year?"

"One billion has already been deposited, and there's proof from the local bank?"

"..."

The first reaction of everyone was disbelief.

After all, the average person's impression of Tang Wen is nothing more than: a young man, a director, a good moviemaker, a womanizer, and someone who gets into trouble with female celebrities...

How did this person end up working in financial news without even realizing it?

It occupies such a large section in major local and national publications?

Is Hollywood really that profitable?

Xia Tian's assistant's phone was ringing off the hook with calls from various media outlets.

They were all there to schedule an interview with Tang Wen.

Eventually, she had to have her own assistant impersonate her to deal with them.

As for exclusive interviews, let alone Xia Tian, ​​even Tang Wen couldn't make that decision.

Secretary-General Zhang had already made the arrangements.

In addition to people from Jiangnan, people from Beijing will be coming in the next couple of days. The interviews will be broadcast around the Lantern Festival.

As a result, many of Tang Wen's schedules were postponed.

With such a commotion, various reactions have followed. Among the text messages I've received recently are many veiled hints and explicit messages.

Some beautiful female celebrities were amazed by Tang Wen's talent.

My desire to improve is irrepressible.

Of course, the text message said: We want to work with Director Tang, and all conditions are negotiable, even zero pay is no problem.

In terms of the scale of filming, there is nothing that is unacceptable.

If Director Tang has any complaints, I am willing to accept his in-depth guidance.

I promise to obey the director's instructions in everything...

Of course, he didn't mean to make a phone call.

These people somehow got his phone number.

"Yuanyuan, Director Tang is really rich."

Gao Yuanyuan, who was already a core member of the "Heavenly Sword and Dragon Sabre" production team, became even more sought after.

Gao Yuanyuan was both proud and worried.

This man, if you're going to invest, why make such a big fuss about it?
Look at these female celebrities!

His eyes lit up when he read the newspaper.

Are you reading a newspaper?
I'm too embarrassed to say what's on my mind!

"Jingwen, why did you buy so many newspapers too?" Gao Yuanyuan couldn't hold back anymore.

"I'm planning to take it back to the company for my collection, to curry favor with Boss Tang." After getting to know Gao Yuanyuan, Jia Jingwen gradually stopped hiding her true feelings.

Looking at her bright smiling face, Gao Yuanyuan felt complicated.

She doesn't have many close friends.

Although the princess and Zhou Xun had a good relationship, she could sense that the two of them were closer to Tang Wen.

I've been with Alyssa Chia for a few months now, and we get along well in every way.

The other party also took good care of her on set.

The two occasionally slept in the same bed and talked until midnight.

They've already become best friends.

The perceptive and beautiful woman sensed that the other party wasn't deliberately trying to please her.

They're just naturally compatible!

"You, you all," she wanted to ask but dared not.

Jia Jingwen froze as she tidied up the newspapers, then lowered her head slightly, pretending not to have heard.

After tidying up the newspapers and dismissing her assistant, Consort Jia said, "Don't let his popularity fool you; you are absolutely special to him. So, don't worry, Your Majesty."

Gao Yuanyuan smiled, knowing that Jia Jingwen supported her, but what about her and Tang Wen?

Moreover, do I even need this kind of support?

She originally thought it wasn't necessary.

But with the 5 billion investment, Tang Wen broke into the mainstream.

From now on, it's probably not just women in the entertainment industry who will be eyeing him.

Before the two could say anything more, the director came over to inquire about their well-being. Despite causing such a commotion, Tang Wen had remained in Jiangnan and hadn't returned.

Women also experience the same anxieties and uncertainties.

Dong Xuan and Guan Yue discussed the matter for several days, but they couldn't come up with a solution. In the end, they even had the urge to have Li Xiaoran accompany Tang Wen.

Guan Yue was shocked: "Xuanzi, no, Sister Xuan, if you were in ancient times, you would definitely be an empress!"

Dong Xuan, in a fit of desperation, asked, "Then what do you suggest we do?"

"Uh, well, I think Li Xiaoran is indeed reliable."

The two best friends can talk about anything.

They even talked about intimate matters between women.

Guan Yue knew that Tang Wen was a formidable fighter and loved meat.

Li Xiaoran seems perfectly suited to be the one blocking the gun muzzle...

Brother, take care of yourself and drink less.

I've been so busy lately, I'm in Shanghai, I haven't had time to visit you in Jiangnan.

I'm going to get back to work now...

Even more panicked than Dong Xuan and Gao Yuanyuan was Fan Bingbing.

She sent Tang Wen dozens of text messages a day, bombarding him with them.

At the same time, she cursed herself inwardly, wishing she hadn't packed her schedule so full.

But it's hard to part with wealth.

She just appeared on the Spring Festival Gala and released a new single.

The period around the Lunar New Year is a prime time to make a fortune.

Dong Xuan was only thinking about it, but didn't tell Li Xiaoran.

Fan Bingbing didn't care about any of that. As Tang Wen became more and more successful, Fan Xiaopang, who had been working hard since he was a teenager, realized that he could forget about being with one person for life.

The investment of 5 billion was announced.

My brother has completely become a piece of Tang Monk's flesh.

You can't prevent it; a woman might come over and take a hit at any time.

Since that's the case, she logged into her mobile QQ account and tearfully complained in a small group chat with Li Xiaoran and Wang Zuxian: "Sister Xian, Sister Ran, if you have time, please go and keep watch over the person! I've been dreaming about strange children for the past few days, hugging my legs and calling me Mom."

The two women fell silent for a moment.

This Bingbing is truly flexible and adaptable.

Unfortunately, Wang Zuxian is also very busy.

People are now earning Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong, and next they'll go to Japan and South Korea to earn US dollars.

Li Xiaoran: "Me? I can't control people."

"How could that be? Xiaoran, you're beautiful and have a great figure, how could you not be able to control people?"

Ok?
The two older women opposite him simultaneously became suspicious: Did she not know his combat strength?

Fan Bingbing: "Xiaoran, go over there and stand next to him. Those sluts and bitches will definitely not dare to come near him."

Li Xiaoran shook her head: If I tried one-on-one in the past, I'd probably be sealed in bed.

There's no time to stand by his side.

However, he and Tang Wen rarely saw each other.

She was also very eager to go. Since that's the case, why not go?
Go quietly and surprise him?

The three women started discussing it in the group chat.

Beijing.

Yu Dong, Tang Wen's partner at Berna Pictures, had just organized a New Year's dinner for his employees.

At the banquet, he boldly declared his ambitious goal for the year: "To achieve a cumulative box office of over 5000 million and strive for a profit of 600 million!"

The next day, I sobered up.

I was completely stunned when I saw the news!
Suspecting that his assistant had been bribed by Tang Wen and that he had been sidelined, he was given a fake newspaper.

Fortunately, he eventually sobered up.

Looking at the large characters "XX Daily," he knew that no one would dare to forge this newspaper, even if they were beaten to death.

"We've already invested a billion yuan, and it's all in cash!"

Yu Dong looked at the text and felt it was completely unfamiliar.

One billion, in cash?

"If I had a billion, no, even a hundred million, why the hell would I bother with the hard work of starting a business? Wouldn't it be better to just enjoy luxury cars and beautiful women every day?"

However, he did work within the system.

They have some knowledge.

After tasting it for a while, I sensed that it was unusual.

Logically speaking, an investment of 50 billion is a lot.

But surely it shouldn't make it onto the main page of a daily newspaper?

Unable to figure it out, I had no choice but to ask my former boss for advice.

noon.

Arriving at General Manager Han's office, I was ready to learn from Director Tang—by getting a free meal.

Unfortunately, President Han didn't indulge him at all and didn't give him a chance to order food.

Mr. Han was tired of eating too much meat and fish during the Chinese New Year, so he had a vegetarian lunch.

The only meat dish was the sliced ​​meat in the dry-pot cauliflower.

Yu Dong endured the differential treatment. After he had eaten and drunk his fill and returned to his office, he asked, "Boss, what's the story behind President Tang's investment?"

"Don't ask silly questions, just focus on running your company."

"How can you say it's a random question? Director Tang and I are on the same page. Tell me about it, so I'll know who to be close to in the future, right?"

Han Sanping laughed and glanced at him: "You want to get close? I can hardly even get close to you!"

Yu Dong shuddered.

Seeing that his old boss wasn't joking, he kept quiet despite the turmoil churning inside him.

Before leaving, President Han offered a few words of comfort: "When your company grows bigger, you will naturally know what you need to know."

Some things are completely incomprehensible to outsiders.

Those with connections know everything.

Xinbaoyuan Film & Television.

Zhao Baogang invited some old friends to chat about opera, and at the dinner table, he couldn't help but talk about Tang Wen.

When talking about Director Tang, the tone of several old Beijing locals has changed: "Given time, this Tang Wen might be addressed as Master Tang when we meet."

Zhao Baogang is a director who came from the Beijing Film and Television Art Center.

A key figure in Beijing's elite social circle.

In terms of real influence, it's just so-so in Beijing.

But they were well-informed.

The only ones with better information and a more thorough understanding than them were the Wang brothers, who came from a privileged background.

At Huayi, CEO Wang's desk was covered with newspapers.

The unfolded page was filled with news related to Tang Wen.

The Wang brothers sat one inside the desk and the other opposite it.

After the secretary lit the cigars, he went out.

Young Master Wang asked impatiently, "How so? Did he really manage to get on board?"

The two knew quite a few real rich kids.

They weren't the "Four Young Masters of Beijing" as portrayed in later marketing campaigns.

The king nodded: "Be careful when we meet again."

"He's really daring!"

"He's a big star in Hollywood, has a standing in the international film industry, and is rich. What wouldn't he dare to do?"

The two were familiar with Tang Wen's background.

It's astonishing to see someone from humble beginnings climb to such a high position.

In fact, in the future, they will most likely have to look up to them.

The two brothers felt extremely uncomfortable.

But if you want to survive in Beijing, you have to accept it.

This place is different from other places; the big shots rarely engage in petty squabbles.

Because your opponent will interpret certain behaviors as signals.

Pulled around and moved the whole body.

Beneath the surface, undercurrents surge.

On the water, most people were just watching the spectacle.

The major portal websites besides Renren.com reported this news in whatever way could grab attention.

A Bold Gamble! Director Tang Wen's 50 Billion Yuan Real Estate Bets Create an "Oriental Ginza" in Jiangnan Province

10 billion yuan in cash arrives! Banks endorse Tang Wen, but where did the money come from?

Major earthquake in the entertainment industry! Renowned director Tang Wen transforms into a real estate tycoon; his 50 billion yuan project may drain the film and television industry's capital.

A 50 billion yuan project?
19 billion in cash?
Tang Wen?

After the initial shock, netizens were stunned.

Someone dug up news reports from Hong Kong media before the Lunar New Year about the net worth and assets of celebrities.

How did Tang Wen respond back then?

Is there a significant discrepancy between this statistic and actual income?

Good, good, good!

So it's a reverse gap!

So you think we didn't give you enough money back then, since you have the surname Tang?!
