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

Chapter 308 Tang Wen: It's not that I'm not virtuous, there are bad people among Hollywood actresses!
Nicole Kidman just finished filming Harvey's "The Hours".

Tang Wen became wary, following them during the day and bumping into them by chance at night.

Such a coincidence?
Could this woman be testing me on Harvey's behalf?

He should have kept his secret dealings with Harvey without letting anyone know.

However, since they've come, there's no reason to avoid them.

He wanted to see what she was really up to.

"I haven't congratulated you yet, Nicole, on winning Best Actress for 'The Hours'."

Nicole Kidman looked slightly awkward, but quickly masked it, took a glass of wine, and stepped closer to Tang Wen: "Thank you. It seems like you're aiming for Best Foreign Language Film."

"Yes."

"I have many friends who will help."

After exchanging a few words, Tang Wen roughly understood that this woman had come to make amends.

However, you can just take what she said with a grain of salt.

She doesn't have many judge friends at all, unless she sleeps with them one by one.

But with thousands of Oscar voters, the sacrifice would be too great and the efficiency too slow.

Tang Wen saw hope in her eyes.

What, do you think I'm young?
I hope to have your name added to the votes I've worked so hard to get.
"Thank you."

Tang Wen replied with two words indifferently.

He didn't give her any face, but Nicole Kidman's smile didn't fade; instead, it became even brighter.

I met with a big shot, but got rejected.

Too normal.

She held her wine glass, her high heels moving lightly, her upper body half-touching Tang Wen's arm.

The woman was 1.8 meters tall barefoot, and when she wore high heels, she was almost as tall as Tang Wen. She was also wearing a deep V-neck dress with a slit that went up to three inches above her navel.

At this moment, Tang Wen felt a soft, elastic texture and a smooth feel on his elbow, the back of his hand, and his wrist, which were holding the wine glass.

Nicole Kidman is very bold in public.

She's a second-tier actress and Tom Cruise's ex-wife, famous throughout the United States; she's not an unknown woman.

Add to that her exquisite makeup and vibrant red lips.

It attracted the attention of many men.

Seeing her eagerly pursuing other men, they were very envious.

Most of these people are minor celebrities or assistant directors who are there to network.

Knowing that a woman like Nicole, one would have to become a director, producer, or even an investor to even get close to her.

Tang Wen didn't think anything of it, and subtly moved his arm away, probing further: "Harvey seems to be in quite a bit of trouble."

Nicole gritted her teeth and said fiercely, "I never expected him to be a rapist!"

As he spoke, he gripped the wine glass tightly in his slender hand, the veins on the back of his hand becoming prominent.

It's clear that she truly hates Harvey.

In that case, this woman might be of some use...

Before Tang Wen could figure out how to start the conversation, the two women crowded around him.

Hey! Tang!

Drew Barrymore strode over.

She was accompanied by the leading lady of the night, Cameron Diaz.

The two forcefully intervened, separating Tang Wen and Nicole.

The latter's eyes turned red: Those two bitches! They did it on purpose!

There's no such thing as intentional or unintentional in this kind of thing.

They're stealing men!

Who would be polite?

Tang Wen quickly glanced around and saw that Scarlett was chatting happily with the talented actress Julianne Moore.

Relieved, he gave Nicole an apologetic look.

Without resistance, he was pulled away by the two women.

"F**K!"

"There is nothing good about men!"

Nicole Kidman cursed angrily, downed her drink, and strode away.

"Drew, not today, I brought someone else... um."

Inside the elevator, Drew tiptoed and covered Tang Wen's mouth with his tongue.

Cameron Diaz didn't leave; instead, he leaned closer and whispered in his ear, "Drew really praised you like a war god. Are you sure you want to say no today?"

Tang Wen sighed deeply in his heart: It's not that I'm not virtuous, there are bad people among Hollywood actresses!

He took out his phone and sent a message to his bodyguard team.

The elevator arrived at the second floor.

From the bedrooms, faint sounds that would make one blush could be heard.

It's a Hollywood party, after all; this is perfectly normal.

Cameron Diaz led the two into an empty room.

then,

He squatted down and stripped Tang Wen bare.

"OMG!" the woman exclaimed.

Tang Wen stroked the soft, golden hair.

The overwhelming amazement was suppressed.

"Dang Dang Dang"

More than an hour later, someone knocked on the door.

"Who?"

"Heavenly King covers the Earth Tiger." It was the female bodyguard who came to deliver the clothes.

American girls are too crazy; Tang Wen's custom-made suit was torn to shreds.

He was afraid Scarlett would bite him to death if he continued to wear such a suit out.

I wiped myself down and changed my clothes.

Unbeknownst to anyone, they pulled a bottle of women's perfume from one of their handbags and sprayed it on themselves.

He then left the messy room, went downstairs, and found Scarlett.

She's pacing around looking for someone.

"Where did you come from?"

"I had a chat with old Martin."

"what's up?"

"Get Harvey."

Scarlett suddenly realized and was about 80% convinced.

Aside from the scent of women's perfume, Tang Wen had no other unusual odor.

It's normal for her to smell of perfume. Scarlett Johansson, who has been in the industry since childhood, knows all too well what Hollywood actresses are like.

If she hadn't met Tang Wen, she probably would have tried to curry favor with others and seduce the director.

"Let's go back."

"it is good."

The intense party didn't affect the evening's activities.

Despite the red marks on Tang Wen's back, Scarlett did not notice anything unusual.

I thought it was a mark I left last night.

Scarlett was exhausted.

Tang Wen felt a little tired, which was a rare occurrence for him, but he wasn't completely exhausted.

The next day.

"About Time" has quietly begun filming.

The female lead, Scarlett Johansson, is portrayed as a blonde in the film.

The role of Tang Wen's ex-girlfriend in the film was given to his sister Vanessa.

Romance movies don't have high production costs; the bulk of the expense is Tang Wen's actor salaries plus the salaries of the director, producer, and screenwriter.

The cost of external publicity was $2500 million.

Half of the money was given to him.

This was still kept as a receipt.

Because this film is a modern romance, Robert brought in a lot of product placements.

Driven by Tang Wen's reputation, various businesses invested over 800 million yuan, recouping one-third of their investment on the spot.

Even before filming has begun, it's already certain that this will be a money-making movie.

It's simply a matter of how much or how little you earn.

The story is simple:
The male protagonist suddenly discovers that he has the ability to travel through time.

While he couldn't change history, he could change some small things that had happened and would happen in his own life. So he used his abilities to make life better.

After changing his life and becoming a well-paid lawyer.

He met a beautiful girl named Mary, and the two fell in love.

However, during one of his "time travels," Tang Wen accidentally changed a small thing.

Just like the "butterfly effect," it prevented him from ever meeting Mary again in his future life.

Through repeated attempts, he met Mary again and again, and finally won her heart once more.

This is a movie from 2013.

In 2003, the concept was quite ahead of its time.

Overall, it's a thrilling movie.

Once the audience enters the cinema, the sense of immersion is absolutely guaranteed.

The first scenes filmed were romantic scenes between the two.

From their first meeting to falling in love, Tang Wen repeatedly tries to travel through time again to meet Mary.

The plot of this movie reminded Tang Wen of another low-budget romantic comedy film – *50 First Dates*.

As I recall, it will be the biggest competitor to Tang Wen's film, which is scheduled to be released next year.

Fortunately, he remembered in time.

Robert found out through his connections in the industry that the buyer of the script for "50 First Dates" was in the planning stages but had not yet started filming, so he paid an extra 300,000 to acquire the script.

This effectively nipps competitors in the bud.

After the release of "About Time" by Tang Wen and others, they made this film, "Fifty First Dates".

evening.

He brought the Scarlett sisters along, having been invited to the Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers party.

The person who invited him was an old acquaintance, "Elf Prince" Orlando.

That is, the "Little Blacksmith" from the Caribbean series.

"Director, it's been a long time." Orlando opened his arms.

Scarlett, who was standing next to Orlando, hugged his girlfriend.

Tang Wen glanced at the blonde girl and whispered in Orlando's ear, "Is she an adult?"

"Don't worry, director, we are truly in love!" Orlando said very seriously.

His girlfriend is the same age as Scarlett, both 19 years old.

Tang Wen shook his head and smiled, not taking it seriously.

Hollywood's true love is nothing more than "I loved you the most before you found out."

Or something like "I love you the most before dawn".

The chances of The Lord of the Rings winning Best Picture are slim, and the director didn't even receive a Best Director nomination.

Tang Wen stopped trying to fool him and joined forces to deal with Harvey.

At the party, he met a woman who was just as unlucky as Nicole Kidman—Catherine Zeta-Jones, nominated for Best Supporting Actress and implicated by Harvey.

This sexy woman, like a social butterfly, was all smiles and chatting with everyone.

She's clearly just as eager to garner votes as Nicole Kidman.

With a big shot like Harvey falling, it's not just those two who will suffer.

The entertainment news has been quite lively lately.

Every day, news, big and small, about any film crew, lead actor, or supporting actor who is a contender for an award is leaked.

There are both positive and negative aspects.

Meanwhile, the strong contenders for Best Picture, "The Hours" and "Chicago," have made very little noise.

It also faced joint suppression from several other companies.

Feminist organizations took action, located the victims, and shouted the slogan given by Tang Wen:
"Victims help victims!"

"We are kind, but we have a sharp edge!"

They became furious and threatened to send Harvey to prison.

Harvey's biggest background figure, Hillary Clinton, is also a beneficiary of the feminist movement and a supporter of feminism.

It's impossible for them to stand up and speak out for Harvey.

Not only can't you speak out, you can't even make a hint.

Otherwise, her political future would be over once she is abandoned by female voters.

Her silence so far is already drawing criticism from New York feminist organizations.

Several days later, the momentum against Harvey intensified.

The academic, older white male judges were forced to speak out and join the fight against Harvey.

As a result, all the actors, directors, and other participants in this year's Oscars breathed a sigh of relief.

Knowing that the two films Harvey was pushing were almost certainly not going to win awards.

The male and female actors who received nominations for these two films, as well as the two directors, were extremely frustrated.

Some are still struggling, while others have simply given up and are preparing to look for new opportunities.

At Nicole Kidman's villa.

She and her agent sat facing each other, their eyes red and swollen: "Nicole, let's think of another way!"

"What else can I do! Six thousand judges, do you expect me to sleep with them one by one?"

Agent Kim Slim glared at her and yelled back, "So you're going to go back to Australia? Do you know that if you can't turn things around, no Hollywood production will cast you as the lead actress anymore! Your career will be completely over!"

"What?" Nicole Kidman was utterly shocked and swayed as if she couldn't stand up straight.

Jin Sili sighed dejectedly: "The two projects we were in contact with have refused to continue negotiations. They think it's too risky to use you."

Harvey was on the verge of collapse.

If he is arrested, will he reveal anything related to Nicole Kidman?
Besides, these production teams originally approached her because they wanted to take a gamble, hoping she could become an Oscar-winning actress and bring her own popularity to the production.

This road is now basically blocked.

She has never proven herself at the box office, so of course no one would want to use her again.

Nicole Kidman remained silent for a long time, then suddenly stood up as if possessed: "Pat, what should I do? I'll give anything, I will never go back to Australia! Never!"

She grabbed Pat Kinsley by the collar, who was struggling to breathe. She pulled away and said, "Don't get excited, don't get excited! Let's think of a solution together. There must be other people who can help."

"Who? Who can help? I'll beg him! I'll do anything!" Nicole Kidman's eyes screamed—she was going all in!
"Let me think about it, let's think about it together!"

On the other hand, Tang Wen spent money to promote "Hero," and the feminist organization, having received his money, naturally had to help him out.

The famous director, Quentin Tarantino, also received money.

He served as the producer of "Hero" and spared no effort in advocating for the film.

He had no choice but to run around; "Big Brother" Harvey was in trouble. He had taken the money but hadn't done anything, and Tang Wen wouldn't let him off the hook.

Knowing his close relationship with Harvey, the media kept asking him if he knew anything about Harvey's affairs.

Quentin denied it outright.

When pushed to the limit, he simply declared that he liked "feet" rather than being forced to.

The movie "Hero" capitalized on the popularity of "Harvey" without getting involved in his scandals.

Tang Wen found two foot models to accompany him and personally comforted Quentin.

Tell him that if there are any projects in the future, he can collaborate with me, and I will guarantee his interests and creative freedom.

Quentin was somewhat tempted by this, and Tang Wen was quick to offer money and had the financial means.

As both are creators, they often think alike on many things.

Moreover, his company's deputy, Robert, shared his fondness for feet.

Quentin didn't agree immediately, but said that he could ask Tang Wen to invest in the new movie.

Tang Wen didn't mince words and immediately called the feminist side to tell them: Quentin is a good person and has nothing to do with Harvey's mess.

The pressure on Quentin lessened considerably the next day.

The awards campaign for "Hero" is in full swing.

Iger, Roy Disney, Coppola, Martin Scorsese, Leonardo DiCaprio, Johnny Depp, Spielberg... a group of Hollywood stars and bigwigs endorsed the film.

They claim this is a film that "cannot be missed"!

For a time, the reputation of the foreign film "Hero" even overshadowed that of the American film vying for Best Picture.

This was the first time in the industry that I witnessed Tang Wen's influence.

Nicole Kidman therefore set her sights on Tang Wen once again.

This time, she didn't dare to be coy anymore and went straight to her "best friend" Naomi Watts' house.

He cried and begged her for help.

She cried so hard that Naomi softened and called Lin Chih-ling.

After discussing it, the two women decided that it was possible to give Director Tang a surprise.

Of course, making Nicole Kidman pay the price is giving her an opportunity.

Afterwards, if Tang Wen doesn't agree to help.

She absolutely cannot use this as an excuse; she must sign a "voluntary agreement."

Nicole Kidman understands this principle; she is not content with the status quo and craves an opportunity.

When a Hollywood actress truly goes all out, her bottom line can be even lower than that of a streetwalker...
