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

Chapter 318 I made a painful decision that I feel sorry for XX!
"Love You" and "Curved Eyelashes" are from Wang Xinling's second album in 2004.

Because of Tang Wen, she debuted a year earlier than expected.

Everything then proceeded ahead of schedule, which was perfectly logical.

Becoming famous early isn't necessarily a bad thing; it allows you to attract more future "domineering CEOs."

The current Chinese music scene is a battle of titans.

The music scene in the past two years is very similar to the international situation – one superpower and many strong contenders.

The first one to surpass is Tang Wen.

There are too many to list just how strong they are: Jay Chou, Michelle Sun, Wilber Pan, Patrick Tse...

Even in such a highly skilled environment.

"Love You" and "Curved Eyelashes"

Upon its release, it immediately topped multiple music charts, including the Music Billboard.

"If you suddenly sneeze" became a popular saying that year.

Later in 2022, Wang Xinling returned to the stage and sang these two songs.

The following day, the songs reached the top two positions on the QQ Music charts.

Its longevity astonished everyone.

Hunan TV originally invited her just to fill out the quota for their show "Sisters Who Make Waves".

In the first episode, he only had 3 minutes of screen time, and his seat was in a remote and secluded spot, which clearly indicates that he was a junior actor.

After the team was formed, she was on the weaker team.

Play against strong, popular teams.

Viewers don't even need to think to understand that the production team has very little faith in Wang Xinling.

However, after the first episode aired, her sweet look and classic dance moves triggered a wave of nostalgia across the internet.

Her related topics dominated Weibo's trending searches for over a week.

His works once occupied 16 of the top 20 spots on the QQ Music charts!
Under these circumstances, rumors circulated online that she would be eliminated in the third episode.

The news caused an uproar online.

The "Xinling Boys" are making their voices heard through various means.

It even boosted mango-related stocks by 10% at one point.

If you can raise funds, you can also crash the market.

The production team felt the pressure very much and reportedly re-edited the program overnight.

The story that follows is one that everyone enjoys watching.

With the support of her fans, Wang Xinling defeated the capital and won the championship with an overwhelming advantage!
Media reviews: A talented artist who, after years of honing his skills, seized a small opportunity and unleashed his full potential, a victory for the collective memories of youth!
This is extremely rare in the history of the Chinese entertainment industry!

Wang Xinling is now under my command.

Tang Wen only wanted her to surpass her previous life and not waste her talent and hard work.

Therefore, he asked the company to contact Taiwan Province and Wang Xinling's original company to collect a few songs in the style of Taiwan Province to lay a good foundation for her.

As he pondered, he spontaneously wrote down a new song title—"I Really Want to Love Him."

A song released by Twins in 06.

The composer is Lin Junjie.

It also falls into the category of sweet love songs.

It secured a place among the top songs in the music scene in 06.

The song title might seem unfamiliar to some at first glance.

But when they hear the chorus or see the lyrics, many people can immediately remember how it is sung, even if they have never specifically sought out and listened to the song before.

[...I really want to love him, but my reason is fighting against me...]

It took me just a few minutes to create this new song.

Tang Wen pondered for a moment, then wrote down two more characters—"Feathers".

This song isn't Wang Xinling's signature song, but it has a significant influence among her fans, so it would be a shame to discard it.

With these four songs as a foundation for an album, plus the youthful and sweet music videos, Wang Xinling is sure to continue moving towards becoming the "Sweetheart Queen".

Then, it was Zhang Liangying's turn.

Similarly, he is a talented singer who is not troublesome, hardworking, and has a good image.

Tang Wen couldn't show favoritism, so he also wrote four songs for her.

That's a bit difficult.

Zhang Liangying debuted late, gaining recognition through the 05 Super Girl competition.

It wasn't until around 07 or 08 that they produced truly influential works.

In 08, the internet became widespread and internet speeds were much faster. The styles that audiences liked were definitely different from what they are now.

Using her work directly from a few years later carries a certain probability of not becoming popular.

Tang Wen should not take such a risk by acting personally.

In other words, all four songs have to be his original compositions!

At this moment, I wonder how many female singers in China felt something was wrong, as if something important was about to leave them.

He recalled the songs that would be popular in the next two years, and considering Zhang Liangying's singing style, after much thought, he created another one, "I'm sorry, ancestors..."

We apologize for F.I.R.'s decision.

The last time I helped Zhang Liangying put together an album, I copied Faye Wong's song "Our Love".

This time, it's—"A Thousand-Year Love".

However, F.I.R. is also a singer-songwriter, and I believe they can write even better songs without these two.

With that in mind, Tang Wen felt at ease and wrote down the lyrics and music for the entire song.

However, this song has another problem: it was once accused of plagiarizing a song by Zhang Weijian.

Director Tang took action because he didn't want this kind of controversy.

Lin Chih-ling was asked to find the sheet music for Chang Wei-chien's song. Upon comparison, it was discovered that the melodies of the first four bars of the chorus were indeed similar.

However, this is not enough to be considered plagiarism.

The problem is easy to solve. Just talk to the song copyright company, or spend a little money to buy the adaptation rights.

The specifics of how to proceed will be handled by Blue Star Music Department.

As for what most singers need to worry about, it's the difficulty of singing "A Thousand Years of Love".

Tang Wen, on the contrary, felt quite relieved.

The high notes in this song, aided by mixing technology, require the singer to reach B4.

Zhang Liangying showcased a dolphin-like voice above E5 in "Painting Heart".

The original song's chorus, "The sorrow that transcends a thousand years is you waiting for me at the end," is 12 beats long.

Zhang Liangying later performed a 14-beat long note in "My Dream".

His breathing was as steady as a rock.

Although she is young and her singing skills are not yet at their peak, with a little practice, she can master this song without any pressure.

Following the lyrics and music, Tang Wen added a note: "[To make the music video more impactful, I'm considering a red dress and a desert scene.]"

The music video for "A Thousand Years of Love" is also quite expressive.

One poem finished, three more to go.

The album by Wang Xinling above focuses on the elements of "youth and love".

Should Zhang Liangying's album also have a theme?

He typed away on the keyboard, writing and deleting, then writing again.

An hour or so passed in the blink of an eye, and in the end, only three songs remained.

The first song, "I Don't Want to Grow Up"

A representative work of the group She, a song worthy of a Golden Melody Award, a memory of a generation.

Even people who don't like the Snake Band can sing along to half of the song.

The second song, "Dad and Mom," is Wang Rong's representative work.

The lyrics are simple and the melody is warm and touching.

It is a rare and excellent work that expresses the theme of family affection.

After its release in 05, countless young people spent money to download it as their mobile phone ringtones.

It has been downloaded nearly 10 million times.

In KTVs, it consistently ranks in the top ten of the family-themed song charts.

Later, Wang Rong participated in the show "Sisters Who Make Waves." Although she was eliminated, the song's play count exceeded 100 million in three days on short video platforms.

It's definitely a nationally popular song.

The last song is just as good as the first three—"We Are All Good Kids".

Popular songs in 06.

It was selected by the Ministry of Education as a recommended song for the "Sunshine Campus" campaign. The song also has an amazing lifespan, appearing in various graduation-themed and campus-themed short videos.

On a certain music platform, there are 10 stories of youth shared under this song.

"Whoo~"

Play the last note.

Tang Wen breathed a sigh of relief.

"I Don't Want to Grow Up," "Mom and Dad," and "We Are All Good Kids"

The three songs have different styles and form their own series themes.

It will definitely resonate strongly with young people.

Let's just consider "A Thousand Years of Love" as a showcase of Jane Zhang's technical skills.

With eight songs, their two albums are sure to be a hit.

After uploading the lyrics and music to the email address, Tang Wen added, "Please ask the music department to collect more good songs."

He can't keep writing forever.

There aren't enough good songs to go around; it's time to inject some money into the market to stimulate creators.

After sending the email, Tang Wen reviewed his English album.

He can copy famous songs from the Western music scene without any difficulty...

But now that we've entered a creative state, how can we just write music?

He clicked the mouse, created a new document, and casually typed out the four words "The Martian".

The Martian is a science fiction novel written by Andy Weir, a programmer at Blizzard Entertainment.

That's right, it's Blizzard, the company that made Warcraft.

It was later adapted into a movie, starring Matt Damon.

The box office was good, and the reviews were overwhelmingly positive.

Tang Wen had not read the novel, but had only seen the movie.

However, his writing ability is already at the "master" level.

Adapting a film into a novel can make it even more engaging than if the original author wrote it.

Currently, he has no work in the film industry.

"About Time" has been completed, but the release date is yet to be determined.

Post-production on "Pirates of the Caribbean" is mostly complete, and it is scheduled to be the first film to be released during the summer season.

An English album, slated for release before summer, is intended to generate buzz for "Caribbean".

Hopefully, the new book, "The Martian," will make it onto the New York Times bestseller list before the movie's release.

After all, "Caribbean" is very important to Tang Wen. Although the possibility of it flopping is small, even a lion needs to go all out to catch a rabbit.

For his first Hollywood blockbuster as a director, the higher the box office, the better.

Not having work in the film industry doesn't mean Tang Wen will be idle.

After talking with his partner and friend Robert, Tang Wen learned that he was going to launch Facebook. The two flew to Canada to see the trial operation website, listened to the future vision, and read the annual report of Renren.com in China.

Robert took a deep breath and looked at Tang Wen:
"Tang, before we partnered, I thought that a small stake in New Line Cinema would be my greatest achievement. Then I met you, and I knew it was our Galaxy Entertainment. But I was wrong, so wrong! It was Facebook!"

The two have a good relationship.

Unlike other family members, Robert's parents held a relatively low status within their family.

He had not received any special training from his family, unlike those elite family scions.

As I grew up, I became a capable person who knew how to cooperate and knew when to advance and retreat.

Tang Wen patted his arm heavily, playing the emotional card: "We're not just business partners, you're also my most trusted friend!"

"Of course!"

Based on Tang Wen's observations over the past few months, the "Top Affinity" attribute has the most profound impact on people he frequently meets and who have a vested interest in him.

Robert, who was making money with Tang Wen, had definitely come to regard Tang Wen as a dear friend and family member from the bottom of his heart.

Even the villa's servants and cooks know to bargain for Tang Wen and protect his interests when they go out to buy daily necessities.

Of course, in their minds, they probably regarded Tang Wen as the "best employer" and did not want to lose this job.

And then there are the women around him, which is giving him a headache.

Nicole Kidman, a woman who originally only intended to have children for a short time and did not seek a lasting relationship, recently secretly inquired with Lin Chih-ling about whether Tang Wen liked children.

This gave him a fright.

“To operate such a large project, we need political resources! My family’s strength is far from sufficient.” The Robert family has shares in banks in California and some influence in the California State Police and county sheriffs.

He didn't hide anything, and Tang Wen was aware of the situation.

"According to our plan, if it succeeds, it will have a huge impact on traditional media and break their news monopoly..."

Robert has good taste.

He pointed out Tang Wenyi's potential future rivals one by one.

Among them, the most threatening enemies are undoubtedly the major media giants.

Tang Wen didn't expect to control Facebook and allow it to speak freely. He didn't care at all whether Americans were misled by the news.

The reason for taking the risk of creating Facebook was to enhance one's status and gain more resources.

Facebook is not a non-sale item.

"Don't worry too much, but some preparations are necessary."

The two finalized their development plan in Canada.

After returning, Robert began to socialize extensively.

He was a Californian resident with family support.

We've reached agreements with quite a few schools and signed preliminary agreements.

When Facebook arrived in California, it was able to cover more than a dozen prestigious universities overnight.

He was busy, and Tang Wen wasn't idle either.

Zhang Hongbing, a security expert recommended by Secretary-General Zhang from Jiangnan, has been in California for some time now, bringing with him several skilled individuals.

They secretly checked for and filled any gaps in Tang Wen's and Galaxy Entertainment's security.

To prevent Zuckerberg from creating Facebook ahead of time.

Tang Wen paid him to make arrangements for Zuckerberg.

A few days later, a 22-year-old retired blonde female model encountered Zuckerberg three times in a short period of time.

The fourth time, the latter couldn't resist the temptation and mustered up the courage to strike up a conversation, after which the two started dating.

To Zuckerberg's surprise, this pretty young woman was quite wealthy and didn't look down on him for being a poor student.

Zuckerberg, who had little romantic experience, fell in love.

They believe that Lady Luck has smiled upon them and that they have found the right person.

In just one week, he had somewhat forgotten his former ambitions and started skipping classes to go on dates...

Zhang Hongbing did a great job.

Tang Wen allocated him a sum of money from overseas so that he could develop a clandestine force.

In the blink of an eye, "Hero" has been in theaters in North America for a month.

Starting from the third week, without the support of Tang Wen's roadshow, the box office had already been halved, only reaching a little over ten million.

The fourth week's revenue was several million.

The total box office in North America was $7560 million.

The film ran for a long time in Japan, lasting more than two months, and grossed a total of $7300 million.

The total is approximately 1.5 million.

Thanks to Tang Wen's continued success and the abundance of projects he had, the distributors and cinemas did not delay, and box office revenue sharing is gradually arriving.

That day, Robert sent a message asking Tang Wen to donate money to an association in the name of the company.

The Former Agents of the ...

Tang Wen didn't hesitate. Galaxy Entertainment had plenty of money, and donations could be tax-deductible.

He's been donating a lot of money lately in an effort to build relationships.

As a result, I received many banquet invitations.

I met some people from California's high society and made some acquaintances, but they were all just casual acquaintances.

After making the donation, Robert mysteriously came to meet Tang Wen at his villa.

He spread out two photos and placed them on the table; the photos showed two women.

The two women are quite beautiful, though not young; they are in their 30s.

"What do you mean?"

"Tang! They come from prominent families; one is the deputy director of the IRS office in Fulbourne, California, and the other is one of the heads of the IRS's Los Angeles regional office..."
