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

Chapter 338 Tang Wen was powerless to reverse the situation?

I leaned back comfortably on the sofa.

Tang Wen took out his cell phone, which he usually used in America, with one hand.

I slowly and haltingly composed a text message:
[Check if Avi, the Indian judge at this year's Cannes Film Festival, has made any inappropriate remarks or committed any dirty deeds.]

Upon receiving the text message, Zhang Hongbing was in Mexico scouting for suitable personnel.

Seeing the task assignment, I didn't feel troubled.

I picked up my computer and searched for related information, and found that this Avi was a Brahmin from India.

His surname is Sharma, and he comes from a prominent family.

He immediately understood: if that was the case, there must be servants in the house who were like slaves.

Normally, they certainly wouldn't respect people of lower castes.

They also possess the same inexplicable self-confidence as other Indians.

They often make outrageous and absurd statements.

A few minutes later, he paid to post a bounty on the dark web, specifying that it was urgent and would cost extra.

After completing these steps and setting reminders, Zhang Hongbing continued to observe the Mexican military and police personnel...

To get things done in America, you need a few people who are willing to fight, take risks, and draw their guns.

Meanwhile, the Mexican police force is in a state of high chaos.

Most of them colluded with gangs, trafficking drugs and oppressing the people.

The people he was looking for were police officers who had been persecuted and had lost their normal lives, and who had not colluded with the perpetrators.

Once their families are settled, this group will definitely be willing to risk their lives for you.

Zhang Hongbing was the secretary-general of Jiangnan, and he was introduced to Tang Wen.

Tang Wen trusted him, but he wasn't entirely at ease with him.

Because it's hard to find talent in this field.

There's no way I can be completely at ease.

However, Tang Wen knew that this secretary-general had a bright future, far beyond what ordinary people could imagine.

It is among the groups that are unlikely to fall.

So, using Zhang Hongbing's products yourself is actually not bad.

For Tang Wen, winning an award at Cannes was a small matter, but he never thought he would fail.

After sending the text message, he put down his phone and gently stroked Zeng Li's pretty face with his right hand...

An hour later, Zeng Li quickly touched up her makeup and applied lipstick in the bathroom before coming out again.

On the suggestion book on the table, Tang Wen wrote down the melody and lyrics for the entire song.

After the intimate contact, Zeng Li no longer resisted Tang Wen's embrace, and sat on his lap, listening to him hum in her ear.

"Is this a duet?"

"Of course, don't go back today. I'll go with you to record it tomorrow, and it would be best if we could also film the music video."

After saying that, she gently bit her glistening earlobe.

Zeng Li felt weak all over and was about to agree when her best friend "Hu Jing" suddenly appeared in front of her with a smile.

Today, Hu Jing saw that she was unhappy.

She took the initiative to back down, giving up her time so that she could have a date with Tang Wen.

However, she also liked this bad guy.

This bad guy must also have his eye on Jingjing.

Zeng Li swallowed back the words she was about to say, and gently raised her eyes: "What about Jingjing?"

Of course, we'll do it later.

cough.

Tang Wen didn't dare say such shameless things, but he understood what Zeng Li meant.

"Hmm, let's invite her out for a late-night snack. We're recording a song tomorrow."

“Okay.” Zeng Li was afraid that he would be unhappy, so she took his hand and placed it on her thigh, and said softly, “Don’t worry, it’s only a matter of time.”

This young lady is so sensible.

A hint of admiration flashed in Tang Wen's eyes, and he kissed her rosy cheeks.

As soon as Hu Jing left the restaurant, she began to regret her decision.

They were terrified that by giving in, they would be handing Zeng Li over to the wolves.

She wasn't stupid; she could tell that Tang Wen was a greedy wolf!
I spent half the day at home agonizing over it, unable to even prepare for the audition.

I finally made it to night, but Zeng Li didn't come back and Tang Wen didn't send any news. I was so frustrated that I almost cried.

Receiving Tang Wen's call at that moment was like seeing a ray of light in my despair.

I was so happy.

Early summer has arrived.

There are many barbecue stalls along the roadside.

The three of them found a restaurant where two women had eaten before, and the food was pretty good.

It was completely dark, and no matter how handsome Tang Wen was, his face was not visible from several meters away, so naturally no one bothered him.

"You wrote a song for pears?" Hu Jing couldn't help but nudge Tang Wen's shoulder.

That means I told you to be nicer to my best friend, not to be this nice to her!
I don't even have any songs.

Hu Jing felt a pang of jealousy, blinking her big eyes frantically as she tried to signal to Tang Wen: I want some too, I want some too...

Tang Wen smiled and said, "Pear gave me a lot of inspiration today, which is why I was able to write a poem."

"Cough cough cough," Zeng Li almost spat out the beer in her mouth, and her face turned bright red.

That bastard, how dare he say that!
Hu Jing sensed something was off, her big eyes narrowing: "Inspiration? How did you come up with that?"

"It's just to make me fast," Tang Wen said, but Zeng Li picked up her chopsticks, put a piece of lotus root into his mouth, and then put it in his mouth.

"Don't listen to his nonsense, he already wrote it down and is just teasing me."

逗？
Hu Jing didn't ask any more questions.

She couldn't even imagine how she had teased him.

She looked at Tang Wen with resentful eyes.

Tang Wen smiled and replied, "Give me some inspiration later, and I'll write one for you too."

Hu Jing was pleasantly surprised and about to nod when she suddenly realized, "How exactly do I give you inspiration?"

"Ah, you'll find out later." Zeng Li stomped hard on Tang Wen's foot under the table.

She wanted to scold Tang Wen for being shameless and a womanizer, but she was afraid of hurting Jingjing.

Given that he wasn't particularly assertive, he didn't say anything.

He was just taking his anger out on Tang Wen.

Tang Wen didn't care; he'd get his revenge on her sooner or later.

After drinking until he was slightly tipsy, he took the two women home.

Tang Wen turned and went to Li Dabai's house.

Big White is exceptionally gifted, with a captivating and deadly physique.

However, he was no match for Tang Wen.

He didn't fully enjoy himself.

After taking a shower and changing clothes, I drove back to my neighborhood near Beijing Film Academy and went to Dong Xuan's room in the dark.

"Hey! You didn't turn on the light! I thought a thief had broken in!"

Tang Wen didn't say anything, but used his actions to dispel her complaints.

The effect was remarkable; soon Dong Xuan was unable to speak in complete sentences.

After the whirlpool girl falls asleep.

As dawn broke, Tang Wen, without taking a shower, took out his keys from his wallet and went next door.

Sister Yu is well-versed in the ways of health preservation; she goes to bed early and wakes up early as well.

The old building wasn't soundproof, and she had been woken up by the noise from next door long ago.

Hearing the door open, I turned on the bedside lamp.

Seeing that Tang Wen was carrying clothes and pants, but was only wearing shorts and looked sweaty, and that an unpleasant odor wafted up when she got closer, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and say: "Go take a shower."

"hungry."

"I'll make you noodles after you've washed."

Tang Wen did not refuse.

After eating, we did some light exercise.

She slept in until late morning at her neighbor's house, then leisurely set off to pick up Zeng Li and Hu Jing.

We're recording a song today.

Blue Star Entertainment has a recording studio, but Dong Xuan and Li Xiaoran are there.

We definitely can't take people to Earth.

Zhang Yadong was a friend who kept his mouth shut, so Tang Wen took him to his studio.

"You just showed up like that without even telling me."

After complaining for a bit, Zhang Yadong shrugged and said, "The recording studio is full, so we can only record during the lunch break."

"Noon it is."

Tang Wen glanced at the clock on the wall; it was already past eleven.

Zeng Li and Hu Jing looked around Zhang Yadong's studio with curiosity.

They had virtually no connection with the music industry before.

But Zhang Yadong is very famous; he is the producer of Wang Fei and Tang Wen, and everyone in the entertainment industry knows him.

Zhang Yadong saw Tang Wen lie down on his sofa, looking like he wasn't going to leave.

He could only sigh silently, pick up the phone, and call a nearby hotel to reserve a table for a banquet, asking them to prepare and deliver it to him.

He looked down at the lyrics and music, his small eyes lighting up: "A Peking Opera-style song, a duet between a man and a woman?"

"Yes, it will definitely be a refreshing experience for you." Zhang Yadong is definitely a music fanatic.

When I see a good piece of sheet music, I feel like my heart is being scratched by a cat.

It's absolutely irresistible.

Unable to contain her concern for Tang Wen, she asked, "I know your singing skills, but who will sing for the two girls? Is there enough time at noon?"

Hu Jing looked at Zeng Li.

The latter was unsure.

Tang Wen spoke softly, "Li Zi is a graduate of a professional opera school, specializing in the leading female role (Da Qingyi), but this is her first time recording a song. By the way, who's using the recording studio?"

“Pu Shu, Lao Pu.”

"Who do you think I am? Why should I let him give me that much time!" Park Soo, an old acquaintance.

Ahem, I especially love Tang Wen's "Life is Like a Summer Flower".

He's also the ex-boyfriend of Zhou Xun, a good friend.

“He’s coming over for dinner, you can talk to him.”

Not a moment.

Park Soo walked out of the recording studio with messy hair.

Upon seeing Tang Wen, he rubbed his eyes before greeting him, "Old Tang? Long time no see."

Without exchanging pleasantries, Tang Wen looked at him and said, "Working on your new album? Where are you stuck? Tell me, let me have a good laugh."

Park Soo is very innocent and doesn't care about such jokes.

"I feel like all the songs are just a little bit lacking."

Tang Wen's eyes flickered: How could it not be bad!
I've stolen your copy of "Life is Like a Summer Flower," bro.

You need to stand up straight and write something decent.

Park Soo was easy to talk to, and Tang Wen asked to cut in line at the recording studio.

He agreed without even thinking about it.

After eating, he didn't talk to anyone. He picked up a guitar and started strumming the strings, completely immersed in his own musical world.

I must say, his unconventional personality, coupled with his melancholic and unique temperament, is indeed very attractive to girls.

Tang Wen knew that was just his personality, so he didn't pay him much attention.

After getting ready, Zhang Yadong was the first to enter the recording studio.

Recording of "Wujiapo 2003" officially began.

It was created 17 years earlier than the original timeline.

Considering Zeng Li's lack of experience in recording.

Tang Wen recorded both the male and female voices in one go.

With his masterful singing skills, recording a song is no more difficult than singing karaoke.

Stepping out of the recording studio.

Just moments ago, Park Soo was acting like a melancholic genius. He took off his monitoring headphones, gave a thumbs up, and exclaimed, "Old Tang! That's fucking amazing! I feel like my entire album isn't as good as this song!"

Adapting traditional operas, promoting tradition, and making them sound so beautiful.

It is indeed one of a kind.

Tang Wen smiled and said, "I like talking to honest people like you. If I can praise you, I'll praise you a lot."

Zhang Yadong called Zeng Li over to listen to Tang Wen sing the "female voice" part.

She listened to it many times until Zeng Li had memorized all the details before she went into the recording studio.

She truly deserves her professional acting training.

I got a satisfactory result in less than ten takes.

Tang Wen did not stay for dinner that evening.

He didn't accompany Zeng Li or Hu Jing either.

He met with Stephen Chow along with representatives from China Film Group and Shanghai Film Group to discuss a collaboration on "Kung Fu Hustle".

Speaking of "Kung Fu Hustle," Stephen Chow's personal audition for the film has caused quite a stir in the industry these past two days.

But they have no local roots.

The audition location was discovered by the resourceful reporters.

When the reports were published, everyone was surprised to find...

It seems that, without exception, all the female celebrities who come to audition have a page on Renren.com.

In other words, they were all Tang Wen's people.

This made some female celebrities in the entertainment industry unable to keep their composure.

Is Tang Wen too powerful, or perhaps a bit too domineering?

Zhang Yimou's audition earlier caused quite a stir.

Today this one is promising, tomorrow that one is promising, the hype is in full swing.

Finally, Dong Xuan, who had remained silent throughout, stepped forward.

Now that Stephen Chow is heading south, it's agreed that everyone has a chance.

As a result, they couldn't even get through the audition door; all the people who went were Tang Wen's people.

What's even more infuriating is that Blue Star hardly recruits any artists.

Regardless of your fame or whether you're a third-tier or second-tier celebrity, we won't accept any of you.

It seems that Blue Star Entertainment only has one standard: Tang Wen personally selects the people!

But Tang Wen is not someone you can easily find.

This completely blocks the path to advancement for female celebrities.

Although many female celebrities know that even if they go to audition, they will most likely not get a chance.

But that doesn't stop them from harboring resentment towards Tang Wen. Director Tang, are you blind? How am I inferior to Dong Xuan, Li Xiaoran, Fan Bingbing...?
Open your eyes and take a look!
Although Tang Wen was present tonight, he didn't get involved in the specifics.

Throughout the entire session, Xia Tian, ​​the vice president of Blue Star, answered Zhou Xingchi's questions.

Finished the meal.

The negotiations are almost complete.

The investment ratio has changed again.

Originally the most powerful Sony Columbia Pictures, it's rumored that Tang Wen, China Film Group, and Shanghai Film Group are all going to get involved.

They relented, after all, they were just an Asian branch, not the North American headquarters.

If you want to succeed in Hong Kong, you'll have to be mindful of how the mainland behaves.

If we offend all three major forces in mainland China at once.

They're afraid that any movies they make in the future won't be released.

Of the total investment of $2000 million, Sony will take 25%.

Tang Wen's Blue Star Entertainment contributed 30% of the investment, with Stephen Chow's Star Overseas contributing a small portion, and a portion of Stephen Chow's own film salary, director's fee, and screenwriting fee being deducted.

The remaining major portion is divided equally between China Film Group and Shanghai Film Group.

As for copyright, it is jointly owned by all parties.

If a sequel is to be made in the future, everyone can vote by raising their hands. As long as the investors who hold more than 51% of the shares agree, filming can begin.

Basically, it can be seen that whether or not a sequel is made is up to Tang Wen.

Because he, along with China Film Group and Shanghai Film Group, accounted for more than 60%.

If they don't want to film, then a sequel can't be made.

They wanted to film it, and even Stephen Chow couldn't stop them.

Once the investment intention is finalized, everything else is just minor details.

Let someone else handle the negotiations.

Director Tang, who was extremely busy, did not accompany them to another place for entertainment.

He rushed to Gao Yuanyuan's house without stopping.

Da Meiyuan had been waiting at home for a long time.

"The smell of alcohol is really strong," Gao Yuanyuan said with a look of disgust as she released her hand after kissing him.

This prompted Tang Wen to chase after her and kiss her several times.

Food was laid out on the table.

He didn't even bother to look at them twice, let alone eat them; all he wanted to do was eat people.

He gently pinched Da Meiyuan's slender waist, and amidst her gasp, hoisted her onto his shoulder and walked into the bathroom.

"Oh! I've already washed."

"Perfect, wash me thoroughly, make sure I'm clean, otherwise you won't be able to bring yourself to eat me later."

"Don't be so smug!" Da Meiyuan squeezed her rounded legs together.

After their previous intimate encounter, and hearing Tang Wen mention his "inner charm" body, she knew her fighting prowess was considerable.

He was determined to teach Tang Wen a lesson.

As a result, he couldn't function properly in the bathroom.

He uttered a whole bunch of sweet words and pleas for mercy...

It was evening in Cannes, France.

In the early summer weather, Fan Bingbing's heart felt as cold as an ice cellar.

The newspaper in front of her featured news of Indian judges publicly criticizing "Peacock".

Was the early nomination of "Peacock" an error by the Arts Association, or a covert deal?

This attack forced Leo to temporarily recuse himself.

We can no longer speak up for "Peacock".

Fan Bingbing was angry, but also felt frustrated.

That's it. By the time Tang Wen arrives, it will be too late to turn things around.
