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

Chapter 306 News Production: Leveraged Financing for Money; Nicole Wants to Build a Relationship with Tang Wen
It was as if my gaze was drawn to a magnet.

Following Scarlett's catwoman-like steps, Tang Wen twisted his neck halfway around.

The auto-aim feature was only forced to turn off when I started to feel uncomfortable.

Scarlett was wearing a white slip dress.

The fabric is soft and has a beautiful drape.

If an ordinary woman wore it, it would just be a plain, unremarkable nightgown that draped to the floor.

At most, only a bit of skin on the chest is exposed.

On Scarlett, the dress simply wouldn't drape properly from the start.

Once they reached the bottom, they were pushed up even further.

She transformed a garment that originally had no design flair into an "S-shape."

She stayed in the bathroom a little too long, then came out and went to the small refrigerator in the bedroom to get a drink.

As she bent over, her nightgown inevitably became tighter.

It outlines a perfect moon.

boom.

Close the refrigerator door.

Scarlett's slightly husky, magnetic voice rang out: "Darling, there's only water here. Get me a glass of red wine."

After saying that, she slowly got up.

A pair of small watermelons, trembling precariously through the fabric.

Tang Wen laughed: Alright, alright, you're trying to seduce me here, playing the role of prey, aren't you?

"right away."

He lifted the towel draped over his body, walked to the wine cabinet, took out a bottle of red wine, grabbed a glass, and returned to the bedroom.

Scarlett always presented Tang Wen with an alluring back view, only turning around when she heard footsteps approaching.

Then, suddenly, her blue eyes widened!
Tang Wen's muscle definition is even more perfect than that of "Superman" in the movies!

It's even more impactful than the nude male sculptures of ancient Rome!

After he finished showering, he didn't put on any clothes at all.

He smiled, poured himself a glass of wine, and placed the bottle and glass on the bedside table.

He stepped up to Scarlett, who was staring in disbelief, and gently placed his hand on her fair shoulder.

A silky smooth touch, like velvet, came over me.

Young and inexperienced, Scarlett finally snapped out of her daze, her eyes gleaming with astonishment: "OMG~"

Tang Wen's hand slid down naturally.

Tracing its naturally exaggerated curves, it arrived on the moon.

"What's wrong with you?"

Scarlett's gaze fell downwards, her pretty face growing even redder, but she didn't look away.

His hand continued downwards, reaching the back of her knees, and with a gentle pull, he lifted her up and tossed her onto the soft bed…

Scarlett became well-behaved.

No matter what they asked, she obediently complied.

Tang Wen got out of bed and struck a pose like a cat stretching.

The rising full moon illuminated the room.

The charm sways.

I couldn't take my eyes off it.

After a lot of trouble.

Her delicate feet suddenly kicked over the wine bottle on the bedside table.

The wine gushed out, spilling onto the moon-white carpet, turning it a deep crimson...

The next day.

Scarlett woke up in another bedroom.

I feel sore all over.

But there is also an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

The comfortable feeling made her roll around on the bed.

"Don?"

The room was empty; there was no reply.

Scarlett cursed and came out in her pajamas.

As the setting sun streamed into the room from the other side, Scarlett glanced at the alarm clock in the living room and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "It's already 5:30 in the afternoon?"

No wonder I was so hungry.

There were pizzas and plates of food covered with stainless steel cutlery on the table.

There was also a sticky note left by Tang Wen.

Scarlett opened the pizza box, took out a slice, and took a big bite.

Tang Wen went out to attend to stock investment matters.

I had previously invested some money in US stocks.

The highest returns were achieved by domestic companies, including NetEase.

At the time, the dot-com bubble had just burst, and shares were trading at $0.5 each; he bought them at the bottom.

He is now a major shareholder of NetEase.

However, he bought it under the name of an investment company in Hong Kong.

It is not clear to outsiders who the actual controller of the company is.

Upon meeting, the stock manager praised Tang Wen with a slightly exaggerated tone: "Stock God! Director Tang, you are simply a stock god of our time!"

With NetEase earning millions of US dollars in a single quarter last year, coupled with the booming development of the gaming industry.

NetEase's stock price is now over $10 per share.

It increased by almost twenty times.

However, its overall value is not high.

The total market value of NetEase is less than one hundred million US dollars.

Tang Wen intends to continue holding the shares and will not sell them in the short term.

Upon hearing that Tang Wen had prepared another two hundred million US dollars to enter the market, the stock manager and the arriving legal team could hardly hide their surprise.

"Tang, your life is so enviable."

The Chinese-American lawyer glanced at the newspaper on the table and sighed sincerely.

The newspaper was in the entertainment section, and the news on it was a photo of Tang Wen, Scarlett, and Avril getting out of the car.

The title contained words like "double prize," "two women," and "overnight stay in a hotel."

Tang Wen didn't explain anything, and steered the conversation back to investing in stocks.

I received a message from him last night.

The stock manager prepared several investment plans for him overnight.

Unexpectedly, Tang Wen looked at the stocks they had carefully selected overnight and immediately rejected them: "I'm only investing in Amazon and Apple. Calculate how much funding you can match for me?"

These two hundred million US dollars were not earned through hard work, but were obtained through cashback.

It came rather easily.

He wanted to "gamble" on the stock market.

Of course, for someone who knows the future trend, it's not appropriate to call it a "gamble".

It should be called "fishing"!
As for whether his entry will cause any "butterfly effect".

There's no need to worry. He carefully reviewed the development history of the two companies last night, and it was exactly the same as in the original timeline.

Both companies are large enough and have a large number of shares in circulation.

"Only invest in two companies?"

The agent couldn't understand Tang Wen's thoughts.

Even though these two companies are generally viewed favorably in the industry, who knows whether tomorrow or an accident will come first?
What if Jobs runs into trouble again?

What if Amazon's management cashes out and leaves?

This isn't just unfounded worry; these kinds of ridiculous things happen every day in the US stock market.

"Mr. Tang, I must confirm with you that investing in only two companies could result in losses of hundreds of millions if bad news comes."

"Let's calculate the amount I can get first."

This is not a small-amount leveraged investment.

The stockbroker took a deep breath, worked on the computer for an hour or so, then made half an hour of phone calls, and finally gave the answer: $4 million to $10 billion.

2 million can potentially leverage up to 10 billion.

This gives a glimpse into the madness of capital.

Tang Wen stared at him and continued, "What is the annualized cost of capital?"

"The cost of investing in Apple is between 3.5% and 4.5%, while Amazon's is 1% higher..."

A simple mental calculation tells you that there is profit to be made, and a huge profit at that!

Facing the manager's expectant gaze, Tang Wen calmly said, "The financial games played by the Americans are indeed intricate!"

Fine details are good, but they're too fine.

If Tang Wen is only willing to invest in these two stocks, then the matching funds will only amount to 4 million US dollars.

If you're willing to invest in more stocks, you can match more funds.

Tang Wen laughed: Isn't this forcing me to make more money in America?

He first asked questions about the regulation of lawyers.

After understanding it.

Tang Wen compromised and heavily invested in stocks such as Amazon, Apple, eBay, and Oracle.

An additional $8 million will be allocated to the stock market in a 2+8 model…

The amount is so huge that it cannot be settled in a short time.

The actual operation is also very complicated.

Tang Wen wanted to set up an investment company and build a team under his control. So, he mobilized his connections in China.

After making calls to Secretary-General Jiangnan, Master Han, Liu Qiangdong, and Little Ma, a reliable leader was found.

I'm currently in Shenzhen, but I can fly over in a couple of days to take charge of the work.

The reason it happened so quickly is because of strong connections.

Tang Wen's offer of a million-dollar annual salary also played a significant role.

After the initial discussions, as Tang Wen left the business club and looked at the New York sky, he thought: With this series of moves, aside from the project in Jiangnan, my private jet… uh, my private plane shouldn't be a problem, right?

In countries where capitalism prevails, making money from money is the only way to succeed.

It's a pity he can't come every year; otherwise, with the compounding interest, he would become the richest man in no time.

The reality is that if you make big profits every year, it's because you have incredibly accurate stock picking skills.

In less than three years, they'll be investigated by the US, fined, banned from the market, and illegally imprisoned...

Back in the car, Tang Wen called Sun Chao.

Sun couldn't hide his excitement; Facebook's debugging and internal testing in the United States had been completed.

Everything is ready; we're just waiting for it to launch.

Tang Wen told him to wait a moment.

He'll go back to California and solidify his network before going online again.

Back to the hotel.

Scarlett was lying on the sofa talking on the phone. Judging from their argumentative conversation, it wasn't hard to guess that it was her sister on the other end.

After hanging up the phone, Scarlett said, "Could you give my sister a role in our new movie, 'About Time'?"

"There aren't many female supporting roles in this film." Tang Wen took off his coat.

Scarlett continued, "It's the role of your ex-girlfriend."

Tang Wen has decided to star in this movie.

The character has an ex-girlfriend.

"Yes, her image needs to be different from yours. Let her try out for the role."

Scarlett jumped off the sofa with joy, but the movement was so big that it aggravated her sore thighs. She gasped and almost fell to her knees.

"Be careful!"

"Hehe, I'm so excited." After eating, Scarlett didn't hide her true thoughts: "She acts like a big sister to me at home every day! But I helped her get this opportunity! Let's see what right she has to lecture me later!"

After saying that, Scarlett, having tasted the sweetness, kissed him again.

The production team for "About Time" is currently in preparation.

Preliminary work has begun.

Once I'm done with work in New York, I can start filming as soon as I get back.

Tang Wen put aside his work, grabbed a bottle, and carried Scarlett into the bathroom.

The latter was not opposed, his eyes full of eagerness: Tang's taste is just too good!

"What do you have in your hand?"

"Essential oils, for massage."

"Eh?"

Tang Wen hugged her tightly, feeling the watermelon turn into a watermelon pancake, and nodded, saying, "Don't worry, the ingredients are very safe."

But since you're the one using it, please press the buttons for me...

I spent a few days living a wild and carefree life in New York.

I saw Avril Lavigne again in between.

She and Scarlett Johansson's agents have reached an agreement to try a bundled marketing strategy.

One is a singer, and the other is an actress; they have no professional conflicts.

The team behind it is willing to give it a try.

However, Tang Wen, as the proposer, needs to sacrifice himself a little.

That's right, they're planning to create a love triangle.

This is the most eye-catching topic.

Gossip about romances and scandals involving handsome men and beautiful women—thanks to the "happy education" approach, 80% of Americans love to watch these stories.

Thus, under Tang Wen's secret guidance...

A paparazzi, using professional techniques, first photographed Tang Wen and Avril having dinner, and then Scarlett entered the room.

The two women started arguing and almost came to blows, but Tang Wen pulled them apart.

And that's how news is produced, isn't it?

Given the popularity of Tang Wen and Avril Lavigne.

It carried Scarlett away.

Wherever he goes, a bunch of paparazzi follow him.

Two days passed in a flash.

Scarlett Johansson and Avril Lavigne were spotted holding hands while shopping, dressed in disguise.

They seemed like a pair of best sisters.

When interviewed by reporters, the two women remained silent and eventually went into the same hotel, the same hotel where Tang Wen was staying!

The video spread on television and the internet, sparking widespread discussion.

However, Tang Wen's female fans were unhappy and angrily criticized the two online, saying they were not good enough for him.

Avril Lavigne's male fans also criticized Tang Wen quite a bit.

After a round of hype, apart from Tang Wen...

The two women have been exposed to the public much more frequently.

As for Tang Wen, after the Grammys, he gained countless female fans because of his good looks, and his popularity remained high.

Strictly speaking, both women were trying to ride on his popularity.

Back in Los Angeles.

Tang Wen got busy and first secretly sent people to deliver gifts to the main judges of the Oscars.

He, on the other hand, openly used his influence to garner some votes in a respectable manner.

Then, together with Egg, we'll snipe that fat bastard Harvey.

The battle between Harvey and Disney's current president, Michael, continues.

Originally, after Harvey's film "The Hours" received multiple Oscar nominations, the two sides tacitly began to ease their relationship.

After all, Harvey's company belongs to Disney.

His winning the award would be good for Disney's stock price.

This can also be considered one of Michael's achievements.

But when Iger saw this, he thought, "How can you guys try to ease the tension?"

He contacted two women who had been assaulted and harassed by Harvey and arranged for them to testify against him.

They also sent someone to inform Harvey that it was Michael's instruction.

Then, without giving them time to react, a new wave of accusations of sexual assault broke out.

Harvey was furious and, at a Disney company meeting, openly accused Michael of being a thug who broke the rules and harmed the company's interests.

But he did do it.

They were also overwhelmed with problems.

If the two women hadn't yet produced any substantial evidence, Harvey would probably have been arrested by now.

They keep causing trouble, one problem after another, and there's no end to the mess they make of.

The big boss behind the scenes is already fed up with these white gloves.

Under these circumstances, The Hours' path to the Oscars was fraught with unexpected twists and turns.

Originally, this was a politically correct female film.

Nicole Kidman, Tom Cruise's ex-wife who paid the price, is now preparing to enjoy the glory of her Oscar coronation.

After Harvey's incident, feminist organizations became ambiguous in their attitude and refused to advocate for the film or expand its influence.

This really worried Nicole Kidman!
She poured a lot of effort into "The Hours," and her salary was pitifully low.

All for the sake of winning the Oscar for Best Actress!
Now that things are about to go wrong, of course I'm anxious.

Knowing that Harvey couldn't be relied on anytime soon, he began to leverage his connections, visiting influential people in the industry.

The movie can fail, but the Best Actress award must be won.

However, Harvey's alleged rape charges are hard to clear, and these bigwigs simply don't want to see her.

Even if he managed to meet her, he would only give her perfunctory answers and dismiss her with a few words.

At the entrance of DreamWorks.

Nicole Kidman, who came to make connections, was told that "Spielberg wasn't there," and received her third closed door of the day.

Dejected, he returned to his car and couldn't help but pound the steering wheel.

After more than ten minutes, she finally managed to calm herself down and prepared to leave.

A luxury car stopped in front of DreamWorks, and an exceptionally handsome young man stepped out.

Then, Spielberg, who claimed he wasn't at the company, actually came to the door to greet him.

"F**K!"

"son of b..."

Nicole Kidman couldn't help but swear.

She wanted to go down and confront them, but she didn't dare.

They were terrified of completely losing their chance to compete in the Olympics.

Wait, this person is Tang, and one of his films, an Eastern-themed movie, is also vying for an Oscar.

He can help me!
but?

I have no connection with him?

But Nicole believes that friendship is not a problem.

It's just paying...
