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

Chapter 332 Is it really going to be an audition?

When it comes to promoting songs, books, and artists' fame, professional online teams are definitely considered "heretical."

Maintaining a team costs a lot of money, but it's quick.

Tang Wen doesn't spend any money, but he can still make money off them.

Why can't we let them promote their work for free occasionally?
If they don't want to do it, there are plenty of people in Southeast Asia who do...

cough, cough
In short, they provided Red Bull, Coke, and fried rice noodles for those who worked overtime all night.

What else do you want?
Even the landlords of 100 years ago didn't have this kind of enjoyment!
With that thought, Tang Wen felt at ease.

I am indeed very different from those capitalists!

Seeing that Tang Wen put down his newspaper, Xuanxuan, taking advantage of the fact that no one else was at the table, lowered her head and said, "Mr. Tang, Mr. Jia brought me here, saying I need to audition. When are you available?"

Trying out a show?

Ha ha.

Tang Wen smiled silently; Jia Jingwen had mentioned it to him before.

"Oh, a character from 'A Chinese Ghost Story,' right?"

Xuanxuan nodded gently: "Yan Hongye".

"Okay, are you ready?"

"Everything is ready. The play and costumes are all here."

"Yes, I'll arrange it as soon as possible."

It can only be said that Xuanxuan hasn't played enough classic roles; otherwise, Tang Wen wouldn't need her reminder.

A passionate audition was arranged long ago.

After lunch, before I even got to the company, people seeking cooperation and offering money arrived.

ABC television network wants to buy the television movie adaptation rights to the bestselling book "The Five People You Meet in Heaven".

The asking price is $39.

If DVD revenue reaches a certain level, there will be a further share of the profits.

Tang Wen frowned after hearing this.

All I can say is that Tang Wen was pleased that they came seeking cooperation.

But Mr. Tang didn't like this price.

What about sending beggars away?

The book "Paradise" is a kind of spiritual chicken soup for Americans, and its long-tail effect is remarkable.

Tang Wen wasn't in a hurry to sell: "Send them away, be tactful."

ABC are giants after all, and it's not wise to antagonize them.

The film adaptation rights to "Paradise" have been awarded to the French Rose.

I have no idea what she's busy with.

Tang Wen picked up his phone and called Sophie Marceau.

"Hmm~" A lazy, melodious nasal voice: "You finally remembered me~ you heartless little rascal."

As expected of the beautiful French rose, a single sentence was enough to force one to adjust their gun position.

"I dare not think about it."

"Ok?"

"I'm afraid I won't have time to spend with you."

Sophie pictured a yacht swaying on the sea and chuckled, "You have time when you're with an American movie star?"

"An American film queen is not even a fraction as good as you."

“Then I’ll fly over there today, and you can say those words again in front of me and her.”

"no problem!"

Listening to her voice, Tang Wen did indeed miss the boundless gentleness of the French style.

First, lure people over.

When the time comes, we'll see whether the Australian flowers are more beautiful or the French flowers are more vibrant.

They flirted and teased each other all the way until they arrived at the Warner Music building, where they finally hung up the phone.

Xuanxuan, who is once again playing the role of secretary, really wants to ask, "Is the person opposite me Sophie Marceau?"
The famous French Rose?

She sounds even more seductive than Hong Kong socialites...

Tang Wen's plan for today is to shoot a music video.

The specific song is "Because of U".

The original author of this song intended to express the trauma suffered by children in their childhood when their parents quarreled and their relationship broke down.

After stating the theme at the beginning, the film uses montage to flash back to childhood.

Then, the parents discovered their daughter, who was cautiously observing from behind the door with a fearful look in her eyes. The family embraced, and they were reunited and reconciled...

The storyline is moving enough that Tang Wen has no intention of changing it.

The inspiration came from a girl who came from an unhappy family and whose parents were divorced.

To contribute to social harmony in North America!
I'm so noble, is it appropriate for you not to buy my album?

The music video director was naturally Tang Wen.

The site has been set up by the command center.

At 2:30 pm, the female lead arrived late.

Warner staff were surprised.

Nicole Kidman is playing the female lead.

OMG!

Is it true that they are dating?

Otherwise, as a newly crowned Best Actress.

Why would I agree to film a music video for a pop song?

What they didn't know was that Tang Wen hadn't initially planned to have Nicole play the role.

It was an opportunity she had fought hard for in bed for two consecutive nights.

It can only be said that Lin Chih-ling and Alyssa Chia are far too weak in terms of fighting power compared to this 1.8-meter-tall Western beauty.

In the fierce competition, Nicole had the last laugh.

Tang Wen himself played the role of the child's father.

The little girl was a Hollywood child star with acting experience, hired by Warner Bros.

Her acting skills are absolutely fine.

After all, Tang Wen didn't have much time to waste on instructing children on acting.

The filming went smoothly.

The music video was filmed in just one afternoon.

In the entertainment industry, secrets don't stay hidden forever, and Warner Music itself had no intention of keeping things secret.

In the evening, a group of reporters learned that Tang Wen and Nicole Kidman were in the same place and rushed over.

The two men, holding hands with the child star, gave an interview together.

Nicole Kidman: "This is not an ordinary music video. This is a music video that speaks out for family trauma. The message of this song is great. It reminds us that parents should face up to the fact that those hysterical arguments in family life have a devastating impact on children's psychology!"

wow~
Tang Wen led the applause.

The women present felt that Tang Wen and Nicole were practically glowing!

The following day, not only entertainment news outlets published related reports, but some social news outlets also expressed their opinions.

The praise was overwhelming.

Feminist organizations seized the opportunity to promote Nicole Kidman, saying she is a true star and far more noble than those who abuse alcohol, indulge in fandom, and engage in promiscuous behavior!
Tang Wen finished editing the music video overnight, and then arranged for it to be sent to the MTV channel.

It is scheduled to air during prime time that evening.

He didn't rest during the day either.

They filmed another music video without stopping.

"b what u wanna b"

This is an inspirational song, and Tang Wen doesn't plan to film it according to the original version.

He changed the content to a story about a little girl pursuing her dream of dancing.

The story of a clumsy little girl with poor coordination who tried ballet but couldn't keep up with the lessons and was advised to quit. After overcoming countless difficulties, she finally succeeded.

The journey was so difficult, but the encouragement from the "teachers" was indispensable.

The teacher role in the music video was originally intended to be played by Lin Chih-ling.

Wearing a business suit, black stockings, and high heels, with her hair curled and glasses on, Sister Lin is practically every Asian man's "dream lover."

Unfortunately, she refused.

He said he only wanted to do his job well at Galaxy Entertainment.

Tang Wen didn't want to force him, but he already had the aforementioned clothes and glasses at home.

So he had to have Sister Lin give him a private lesson late at night when everyone was quiet.

Even if she doesn't act, Alyssa Chia is just as good.

Moreover, their acting is better, and their roles are more convincing.

This music video involved many locations, making it a bit troublesome to film.

Tang Wen found a director who frequently shoots music videos to serve as the executive director and complete the simple filming tasks.

He wasted no time, went into the editing room, and started editing the promotional video.

In North America, promotional videos are distributed through different media and have different styles.

The first cut is the official extended trailer, which shows the core plot for the first time, with a total length of 2 and a half minutes.

It is mainly used in cinema displays, television networks, and internet platforms.

Then came the TV commercial trailers.

The content consists of highlights, a 30-second condensed version.

Finally, there's a final trailer...

This flurry of activity took another two or three days. Xuanxuan, waiting for her audition, was completely exhausted.

I thought that after making it clear that I was there to "test the screen"...

Tang Wen will come to my room that night.

Therefore, she went back to her room early, took a shower, and specially changed into the clothes of "Yan Hongye" from the drama, and put on a white wig.

Get ready to showcase the acting skills of TVB's top actresses.

But no matter how long they waited, it didn't come.

Finally, he fell asleep without taking off his clothes.

It wasn't until the next day that they learned Tang Wen had stayed at the company the night before and hadn't come back at all.

"No, if this continues, we'll really miss the opportunity."

Xuanxuan hasn't been idle these past few days; to become a top star at TVB, she must have enough emotional intelligence and IQ.

She inadvertently observed that Nicole Kidman was particularly ingratiating with Tang Wen.

He even revealed to Alyssa Chia at the dinner table that Tang Wen had been a great help in her winning the Oscar for Best Actress.

Xuanxuan is also a female celebrity who strives for progress!

She could accept not having a chance, but now that she was living under the same roof as Tang Wen, she was afraid she would regret it later if she didn't give it a try!

Inside Galaxy Entertainment, standing in front of the bathroom mirror, Xuanxuan carefully touched up her makeup.

After leaving the house, she made herself a cup of black tea, greeted Lin Chih-ling, and carried the tea and snacks to the editing room.

Lin Chih-ling didn't stop him; Tang Wen had been working too long and needed to relax.

However, this woman seems to be having some inappropriate thoughts.

She put down her work and texted Jia Jingwen: "Let Xuanxuan go in a couple of days."

[Jia Jingwen: What do you mean? Are you kicking me out?]

[Lin: I wish you could stay, really. I'm already overwhelmed with work, and I can't keep starting work only in the afternoon every day.]

Jia Jingwen was out shopping with her card and didn't say much, but they agreed to talk again that evening.

But why did Zhiling suddenly want to send Xuanxuan away?

Did she take the initiative?
This is not surprising.

Jia Jingwen knew how much Tang Wen could seduce female celebrities.

Tang Wen has everything a woman wants.

In the world of fame and fortune, who can resist a wealthy, powerful, young, and generous patron who is multi-talented, good-looking, rich, powerful, and capable?
Anyway, she couldn't refuse.

Galaxy Entertainment Editing Room.

Xuanxuan came in and stood there for ten minutes.

Tang Wen didn't even glance at her, staring intently at the screen, not looking away for a second: "Wait a minute, it'll be over soon."

Ten minutes later, just as Xuanxuan was about to find a place to sit down for a while.

Finally, Tang Wen stretched and yawned.

"finished?"

"Okay, I'll have someone from Disney come and take a look this afternoon." Tang Wen stood up and stretched.

Xuanxuan didn't know what to say, and after thinking for a while, she asked, "The rules in Hollywood seem to be different from those in Hong Kong. Directors generally don't participate in the editing process?"

"That's right, but I'm still a producer."

Logically, once the movie is finished filming, the footage should be taken to Disney for editing.

However, Tang Wen is not only the director but also the primary producer, possessing the final editing rights.

After saying that, Tang Wen handed the editing room over to the security team to watch over, and went out to the lounge.

Xuanxuan quickly followed and served tea and snacks.

The two passed by Lin Chih-ling, who was focused on her computer and seemed oblivious to everything.

Upon entering the lounge, Tang Wen took off his shoes and lay down on the bed.

He had been working with intense concentration for the past few days and hadn't had enough sleep, so he was feeling a bit tired.

"You haven't eaten anything all day."

Xuanxuan placed the tray on the coffee table, picked up a macaron, and bent down to sit on the edge of the bed.

The tight-fitting pencil skirt accentuated her rounded figure.

Tang Wen didn't really like the overly sweet food, but he forced himself to eat a piece.

Xuanxuan, with her keen eye, switched to a savory snack.

Seemingly afraid of not being able to reach the food, she shifted her position, pressing her pert buttocks tightly against her thighs.

Before she had finished eating, Xuanxuan picked up the teacup, blew on it, and handed it over.

Tang Wen was about to drink when he looked down and his gaze fell into the deep cleavage.

At some point, the woman unbuttoned two or three buttons on her shirt, revealing her white undershirt.

"Director Tang, be careful."

Ok?
Tang Wen was taken aback: Be careful of what?
Then Xuanxuan reached out and touched the teacup, and the full cup immediately spilled a line of tea.

Unfortunately, it got Tang Wen's waistband wet.

Oh--

Tang Wen now understood what he needed to be careful about.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Tang, let me help you clean it up."

Xuanxuan looked nervous, which didn't seem fake. Her hands were busy as she picked up a tissue and bent down to wipe.

Tang Wen smiled, raised his hand and gently placed it on her shoulder, kindly reminding her, "It doesn't seem like it's clean enough like this."

"That's right, how about I take it off for you to wipe it?"

Actually, the shower room in the lounge has a washing machine and a dryer.

But Tang Wen didn't say much, and agreed with a smile: "Okay, take it off and wipe it."

After saying that, he reached out his hand toward the woman's belt across from him.

"Eh?"

Xuanxuan tensed up: "President Tang, I... I'm not wet."

"Hehe, what's the big deal if there's no water? Just wipe it off and it'll be fine."

Xuanxuan's pretty face flushed red: I knew they'd scream like that at night, you're no better than them...

In the lounge, it was just a small test.

Xuanxuan's service spirit is indeed first-class.

When they arrived at the villa, Tang Wen wanted to watch her audition in full makeup.

After a quick meal, Xuanxuan ran to take a shower. She wanted to wash herself thoroughly and then do some skincare.

Tang Wen also left after finishing his meal.

"She actually got to eat it." Jia Jingwen glanced at it.

Lin Chih-ling said expressionlessly, "They're the people you brought."

"Are you jealous?" Jia Jingwen asked, looking up.

Lin Chih-ling covered her mouth and nose with one hand: "Heh, the sour taste from your mouth is hitting me."

Alyssa Chia: ...

Got it!

Both of them were envious.

Don't laugh at anyone.

"You can go in if you beg for mercy in a moment."

"You are the one who must save your people."

They exchanged a few words.

Lin Chih-ling suggested again, "Hollywood, his business is huge, it can accommodate both of us. Do you want to stay?"

"I can't even speak English fluently."

"You can learn it slowly."

"Forget it, I'll go back to China to develop my career. If I really lose money, I'll come back to you for help."

After speaking, Alyssa Chia raised her wine glass and clinked it against Lin Chih-ling's.

Lin Chih-ling secretly shook her head: "It seems I'll have to hire another secretary."

Tang Wen arrived at the room where Xuanxuan had been staying for the past two days and busied himself with chores.

After finishing the preparations, I lay in bed to rest and recharge.

Before they knew it, the bright moon rose into the sky, and a female knight-errant with white hair and red clothes walked in from outside.

She was stunned when she entered the room, and saw a human-shaped doll at the foot of the bed.

The large doll had its head covered, leaving only its black eyes visible.

It looked like someone was tied up there.

Oh no, is it really going to be an audition?

What was the plot of that "Mysterious Heart and Profound Mystery Technique" about again?

Xuanxuan and Yan Hongye stood frozen at the door.

Tang Wen opened his eyes abruptly and said coldly, "Yan Hongye, you've finally arrived! Come in and close the door."

Xuanxuan did as instructed.

Tang Wen sat up, his eyes full of mockery, his emotions conveyed so naturally that if he weren't wearing pajamas and the environment wasn't so off, Xuanxuan would have thought they were filming an ancient costume drama.

The next second, Tang Wen patted the bed: "Hongye, you don't want your destined partner from seven lifetimes—'Zhuge Liuyun'—to die here, do you?"

Xuanxuan: ...

But wouldn't he be living a life worse than death?

Seeing her hesitate, Tang Wen pulled the rope in his hand, and put a knife to the doll's neck.

"Wait! I agree, but even if you get my body, you can forget about getting my heart!"
