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

Chapter 322 Miss Brown: I'll Find the Legal Basis
Hero will be pulled from North American theaters this week.

As for Japan, the screenings have already ended.

Although Tang Wen did not direct this film, nor did he invest in it.

But he bought the copyright and single-handedly orchestrated the award-winning success of "Hero".

It's no different from his own films.

The system recognizes this.

Lin Chih-ling came up behind him and gently massaged his shoulder.

Seeing the emails on the computer screen, which she had already read, she reported:

"The viewership ratings of our Blue Star TV series are evident to all."

Artists have their own pages on Renren.com, where they constantly post videos and updates, making them high-profile celebrities.

Many businesses have noticed this and are offering higher prices for collaborations than for artists of similar caliber on the market.

However, Dong Xuan and others need to cooperate with the publicity on Renren.com.

Meanwhile, some businesses approached Renren.com, hoping that Renren.com could persuade celebrities to cooperate in promoting their products…

After listening, Tang Wen secretly admired the intelligence of the Chinese people.

They discovered how to play the game in the "microblog era" so quickly.

Lin Chih-ling just mentioned two cooperation models:
1. The platforms (Renren.com, Weibo) are only used as publishing channels.

For example, Wang Zuxian is the spokesperson for Chow Tai Fook Jewellery.

She posted Chow Tai Fook advertisements on Renren.com as a spokesperson.

Renren.com only serves as a publishing channel and does not receive any payment.

2. On the Renren.com platform, celebrities are packaged as advertising resources, and the platform usually takes the lion's share, 60% or 70%.

After Tang Wen finished speaking, Lin Zhiling sat in his lap and typed emails for him, sending one to each of Lanxing and Renren.com.

In the afternoon, Tang Wen arrived at the flying club near Beverly Hills.

Learning to fly a plane.

To get a pilot's license, you need not only practical skills but also an exam.

A commercial aircraft license, which allows one to fly a jet aircraft.

Operating systems are very complex, such as the 737 modified into business machines that have become common in recent years.

The cockpit contains over 600 physical units, leaving no room for carelessness...

Meanwhile, at the Los Angeles gun club where Olivia was "bumped into" last night, the manager and owner were discussing the "Coca-Cola vs. Pepsi" match this weekend.

Anyone who has ever run a small business knows that this is a great opportunity for promotion.

Moreover, Tang Wen is also sponsoring $10,000 as a prize.

She's a renowned director and singer; if she can't even seize this kind of opportunity...

Close down early and go hunting in the mountains.

The big boss's surname is Smith. He is a shareholder of the famous gun company "Smith & Wesson" and is both rich and powerful.

Besides making money, the purpose of opening this gun club is...

It is also to gather a group of shooting enthusiasts and form their own social influence.

Upon learning what happened last night, I felt a surge of excitement.

Looking at Tang Wen's target paper and photo hanging in the store, he said to the manager, "You've done a good job. Your efforts will be reflected in your year-end bonus."

The manager thanked him repeatedly, showering him with free flattery.

In American private companies, the boss has absolute power; firing an employee is as simple as saying the word.

compensate?

Haha, even public employees in North America don't get a few months' compensation.

You're just a private company employee, and you want compensation?
After a moment's thought, Boss Smith said, "Contact the advertising departments of Pepsi and Coca-Cola today and see if they'd be willing to make this event even more spectacular."

The manager praised the boss's wisdom a few times before suggesting, "I will emphasize that the organizer is director and singer Tang Wen, who is very popular among young people."

Smith nodded in satisfaction: "Are you confident you can bring that FBI female supervisor over?"

“Olivia Brown? I haven’t been in contact with her.”

"Ok?"

“However, I’m willing to give it a try! She left with Tang Wen last night, so I can try asking Director Tang first.”

“Okay,” Smith tapped the table, giving a serious reminder, “Remember, never offend anyone.”

Although Smith & Wesson is a publicly traded company, its market capitalization is not high.

As a minority shareholder, his influence is limited.

Let alone not daring to offend Olivia's family.

Even Olivia Brown, a powerful figure in the FBI, would be a thorn in his side.

Tang Wen's antics last night were just a casual remark, a way to show off his personal charm.

Unexpectedly, the club seized the opportunity.

When the phone rang, he thought for a moment and decided to join in the fun.

He agreed to arrange a filming crew to film the entire process, and he was willing to participate in the competition or serve as a judge himself.

After hanging up, he called Olivia.

"Tang~"

The voice on the other end was hoarse.

Tang Wen told her about the gun club's request.

"No problem, I'll attend with you."

"Well, you'd better think of a way to make this situation work in your favor."

Upon hearing this, Olivia's hormone-fueled mind snapped back to reality: "That's right, I should form a business alliance with Tang!"
Coming from a political family, she understood that feelings alone could not last and could not withstand the test of time.

If two people share common goals and careers, it's hard for them to separate!

"Okay, I'll ask later."

Tang Wen added, "By the way, my company has donated to the FBI Retired Agents Club. If your department needs it, I can also contribute."

Olivia asked in surprise, "Don, what is your request?"

She meant that it wouldn't cost any money; in California, you could get a high-resolution photo taken at a murder scene unless you were actually there.

I can handle it all!

If high-resolution photos are taken and the suspect is caught red-handed, and the chain of evidence is solid, then things could get a bit complicated.

However, the Brown family has produced many talented individuals.

With dozens of federal judges, finding a legal basis to "gag someone away" would be a piece of cake.
However, Tang will have to suffer a bit; he might have to be diagnosed with a mental illness.

Moreover, from now on, I can only work behind the scenes as an entertainment company boss, and I won't be able to do any work in front of the camera anymore...

Her thoughts were wandering off to the ends of the earth.

Tang Wen replied simply, "I don't have any specific requests. I've invested in an internet company and need some social influence. By the way, the owner of the gun club agreed to help me contact Pepsi and Coca-Cola. Maybe I can earn some advertising revenue that way."

"That's it?"

Having witnessed so much filth since childhood, Olivia was somewhat disappointed, but at the same time, she thought to herself: Tang is truly a kind and good person!
They earn clean money.

"What do you mean?" Tang Wen thought he had misheard.

"Oh, I mean, I can help you get in touch with Pepsi and Coca-Cola."

The Brown family owns numerous businesses and is a major local power in California.

If you reach out to both companies and recommend a spokesperson, they won't refuse.

After all, it's not like we're forcing them to give us shares.

For Pepsi and Coca-Cola, as long as they have influence, it doesn't matter who they hire as their spokesperson.

"Oh," Tang Wen asked, seemingly belatedly, "What do you do for a living again?"

“One of the top FBI officials in California,” Olivia said, trying to sound nonchalant.

"Wow!" Tang Wen exclaimed, "That's great! Let's wear our work clothes tonight! We can skip the greetings; for a beverage company like this, a lifetime endorsement deal is only worth tens of millions of US dollars."

It's true that Director Tang loves money, but he's a fence-sitter when it comes to Pepsi and Coca-Cola.

Make him drink only one type of cola for the rest of his life, and always be careful not to be photographed drinking other carbonated beverages.

That would be too painful.

Olivia: "..."

hang up the phone.

After thinking it over, she gave up the idea of ​​saying hello.

Through last night's profound understanding.

She could sense the domineering nature in Tang Wen's bones.

Perhaps he doesn't like women interfering in his career?
Olivia sent a message to her family's think tank, asking them to come up with a suitable plan that would bind her and Tang Wen together while maximizing their interests regarding the gun club activities.

Whether it's the Brown family or the Newson family, they are very professional when it comes to organizing events.

Although I don't know why the young lady wants to be associated with Tang Wen.

But they came up with a solution very quickly.

From collecting information to analyzing the people involved... and finally formulating a plan.

The whole process took no more than three hours.

Olivia opens the encrypted email: [Intelligence indicates that Director Tang Wen has close ties with feminist organizations.]

The accompanying picture is of Nicole Kidman kissing Tang Wen after receiving her Oscar.

Olivia deleted the message with a cold expression.

Tang Wen was the driving force behind Nicole's success.

Feminism is an unstoppable force. You can completely exchange benefits with him and have Tang recommend you to become a core figure in feminism, thus accumulating strength for future advancement to higher levels...

At the same time, you leverage your business and political connections to secure tax rebates and other preferential policies for Tang's company...

"To become a women's rights leader?" Olivia felt resistant.

She is a doer.

I look down on people who only care about the benefits and not about the responsibilities.

If she wanted to rise to power through this organization, she wouldn't need to wait for Tang Wen to appear.

Whether it's the Brown family or the Newson family, they have plenty of channels to connect with women's rights.

There's no problem portraying her as a national leader of feminism...

Olivia, who is usually capable and decisive, is undecided.

That evening, Tang Wen arrived as promised.

Inspired by the afternoon's essential oil treatment, Olivia received Tang Wen in the guest room.

The bed was covered with clean, new white sheets.

The woman, who was two meters tall, had ivory-white skin that shone with the glow of olive oil and smelled of roses.

Uniforms, push-to-play games.

"No wonder he's an FBI officer. He has an imagination!"

Tang Wen stepped forward and gave him his deepest affirmation!

An hour and a half later.

The detective supervisor, whose ear was almost touching his knee, called a halt to the game, citing important business to discuss.

Tang Wen chuckled: "Yesterday's excuse was that I was too tired after a long day of work. Today you want to talk to me about serious matters. What new excuse are you planning to use tomorrow?"

Olivia wanted to say something harsh, but she was afraid of incurring a fierce backlash.

We had no choice but to get down to business.

She told Tang Wen the advice her family had given her, as well as her own thoughts, in their entirety.

After a moment's thought, Tang Wen changed his patting motion to a pinching motion: "You are capable and have a high status, so you are bound to be someone they try to win over. If you don't like it, you can cooperate and utilize it, but don't join them."

"How to do it?"

"The Los Angeles gun club has female members, right?"

"Hmm, not many."

"You take the lead, and my company will provide the funding to establish a foundation to promote women's shooting sports and safety training, and to collaborate with women's rights organizations."

"Great idea! Tang, you're a genius!"

After saying that, she leaned in with her red lips.

Actually, this idea wasn't Tang Wen's.

Some gun companies, under the guise of protecting teenagers, have launched similar campaigns.

In fact, everyone knows that they are helping teenagers experience the joy of shooting and cultivating the future market.

But you can't prove what they're thinking at all...

The next day.

The FBI director continues to skip work.

They followed Tang Wen to the flying club.

"Would you like to learn how to fly a plane?"

Olivia smiled and immediately showed her pilot's license.

This woman can fly all common small aircraft, including helicopters and seaplanes.

Tang Wen had no choice but to train himself and have her be his coach.

Flying with a novice driver is more exciting than riding in a novice driver's car.

A man and a woman were crammed into the cockpit, looking down at the ground from the air, the suspension bridge effect was maximized.

After experiencing different models.

Olivia felt as if she and Tang Wen had shared life and death several times.

When he got off the plane, he looked at Tang Wen with a longing in his eyes!

The two spent several days like this.

I experienced a variety of exciting and novel activities, including flying, paragliding, and diving.

It felt like time had been stretched out, like we'd been in a relationship for half our lives.

Seeing Olivia becoming increasingly affectionate, Tang Wen was afraid of going too far and decided to separate for a few days to cool things down and also to try and win over the woman at the IRS.

Olivia then said, "You can introduce me to other people, I don't mind."

Tang Wen secretly pursed his lips: Although you concealed it well, your tone of voice still changed.

Don't care?
Even Lin Chih-ling cares, let alone you American girls.

"There will be opportunities in the future." He ruffled the blond hair with his hand.

new week.

"Hero" has been completely pulled from theaters.

The North American box office has surpassed the $8000 million mark.

The film grossed a whopping $1.55 million at the Japanese and American box office.

Meanwhile, cashback is coming.

[…Hero has finished its run in theaters. I've completed one act of support for actress Maggie Cheung.]

[This film won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, setting records for both awards and box office for Chinese-language films. It became a representative work for (second-tier international actress) Maggie Cheung.]

Rating: [A]

Cashback multiplier: 100

With five Hong Kong Best Actress awards, four Golden Horse Best Actress awards, and one Berlin Best Actress award, Maggie Cheung clearly cannot elevate her status with this film.

Winning Cannes next year will mark the peak of her acting career.

By then, it will naturally be a top-tier international brand.

[Cashback: (Operating expenses + Advertising expenses + Public relations expenses...) x 100 = 1 million ($)]

Eyes blinking.

Tang Wen was certain that he hadn't misread it.

They gave me US dollars!
However, it is normal to think about it.

The investment in this film was calculated in US dollars, including the actors' salaries.

How should we spend this money?

The words "private jet" flashed through Tang Wen's mind. He took a deep breath and suppressed his excitement.

Zhang Ziyi should have made even greater progress; I wonder how many surprises she can give me?

[...Support from artist Zhang Ziyi x1]

[This film won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, setting records for both awards and box office performance for Chinese-language films. It also became a representative work for (renowned international artist) Zhang Ziyi...]

[Zhang Ziyi's Rise in Status: From Internationally Renowned Artist to Third-Tier International Actress]

Zhang Ziyi is undoubtedly a top-tier celebrity in the country.

She holds a higher status than top-tier actresses who act in television dramas.

Because she only acts in movies.

She is an actress with a certain degree of international recognition, but no one asks her to act.

Now that both of his films have won Best Foreign Language Film, he truly deserves the title of "international third-tier actor".

From a domestic perspective, one might think she was wronged. She played important roles in the three films "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon," "Rush Hour 2," and "Hero," and her status was far beyond that of a third-tier international star.

However, it's important to understand that the primary audience for these three films is Chinese people or overseas Chinese.

In the more widely watched "Rush Hour 2", she didn't have many scenes.

Foreigners often have trouble recognizing Chinese people.

Therefore, she is currently only a third-tier actress.

It's a minor role that even a big director wouldn't remember.

Of course, the film she starred in has now won Best Foreign Language Film twice in a row.

In Hollywood, she'll definitely get offers to act in movies and TV shows.

The title of "International Zhang" has truly been established.

The system gave it a series of positive reviews, so the rating was naturally high.

【A+】

Cashback multiplier: 200

[Cashback: (Operating expenses + Advertising expenses + Public relations expenses...) x 200 = 1 million ($)]
