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

Chapter 364: Pirates of the Caribbean Opening Day Box Office

The crowd gathered at the cinema erupted in a deafening roar.

There were cheers and screams, and female fans hurling insults at Angelina Jolie!

Julie doesn't care about any of that.

He hugged Tang Wen and they kissed endlessly.

He kept kissing her until he was almost out of breath.

Even the most experienced reporters almost cried out!
It was worth the trip!

It was totally worth it!

Following Tang Wen, there's definitely some news!
The reporters seemed to see dollars and vacations beckoning to them.

After a long time, the two separated.

Julie was panting, but her eyes were shining!

The audience below was still heckling.

Cameras and video cameras kept taking pictures.

Not far away, the person in charge of the flash mob event arranged by Universal Studios to play the Hulk was on the verge of tears.

Tang Wen's appeal is just too outrageous!

It's fine if the ordinary audience members just leave.

The reporters who were supposed to take photos have all disappeared.

You were paid!

What's the point of going to film Tang Wen now?
The large, black actor playing the Hulk took off his hood and asked, "Are we still going to have our event?"

"Of course we have to do it!" the person in charge said angrily.

The big, dark-skinned guy wasn't a professional actor; he was there to earn some extra money. Hearing this, he urged, "Okay, then hurry up! I want Tang's autograph; my girlfriend really likes him!"

The person in charge was speechless.

damn it!
Even our own people have betrayed us.

This team is unmanageable.

Before he could even open his mouth to reprimand her, a girl in the team said regretfully, "You won't get an autograph. Tang's autograph is very valuable. I heard that in Europe, a signed vinyl record of his can sell for hundreds or thousands of dollars."

Person in charge: "Really?"

Everyone looked at him.

"cough"

He quickly changed his tune: "Don't overthink it, let's get to work. The reporters have left, who brought the camera? We'll have to take the photos of the event ourselves."

The photo is like clocking in at work.

If we don't film it, we can't explain it to Universal Music.

However, with Tang Wen singing in the background, the Hulk flash mob event went completely unnoticed.

All they could do was pat themselves, pat the Hulk, and then offer some small gifts, trying to attract passersby to pretend they were onlookers who liked "The Hulk."

Before we knew it, it was past ten o'clock at night.

After finishing several roadshows, Tang Wen was so hungry that he felt dizzy and lightheaded.

The thoughtful Sister Lin prepared a hot pot in the office.

When Tang Wen came in, he found Charlize Theron and Nicole Kidman there as well. Without bothering to be polite with them, he sat down and started eating.

Angelina Jolie raised an eyebrow and stared intently at "White Pearl"—Nicole Kidman.

Although she was hungry, she didn't rush to sit down. Instead, she stood at the door, exchanging ambiguous smiles with Nicole Kidman and the others.

Angelina Jolie is known for her passionate and fiery personality.

Nicole Kidman is now a leading figure and face of California feminism, and an Oscar-winning actress, so she naturally cannot show weakness.

The two looked at each other, neither of them speaking first.

Charlize Theron, on the other hand, seemed to be invisible, sitting quietly on the sofa and watching the two women clash.

It's actually a different kind of stirring up trouble.

A third party was always watching them.

Neither Julie nor Nicole was willing to be the first to back down.

Lin, who is usually virtuous and has the demeanor of an empress, seems to have a lot of opinions about Angelina Jolie. Several minutes have passed and she still hasn't said anything to mediate.

They simply served Tang Wen food and soup.

The hot pot in front of me is a four-compartment pot, and in one of the compartments, tomato soup is being cooked.

According to Tang Wen's habit, tomato soup is not used for cooking vegetables, but only for drinking.

Lin Chih-ling knows his habits very well.

In the soup bowl, some scallions and a little bit of chopped cilantro were added.

Tang Wen glanced at the two women facing off.

Sister Lin sensed that he was about to speak up to defuse the situation, anticipated his prediction, and interrupted him in advance: "How do the scallions and tomatoes taste?"

"not bad."

"The chef at home said it's not authentic, and it doesn't taste as good as the food from my hometown."

Tang Wen shook his head. No food, no matter where you are, tastes as good as the food from your hometown.

Lin Chih-ling continued, "I plan to buy several farms and ranches in the United States, New Zealand, and Australia, and hire people to grow organic vegetables."

"Yes, not bad." Tang Wen nodded repeatedly.

Sister Lin is so thoughtful.

If this were in ancient times, she would at least be a concubine.

Queen?

Tang Wen glanced at the two women at the door who looked like fighting cocks.

I think it's better to leave the position of Empress vacant and let them work hard on their own.

The two chatted for a few more words.

Tang Wencai seized the opportunity to speak: "Aren't you three hungry?"

Angelina Jolie rolled her eyes at him, but immediately prepared to sit down.

She dares to approach men at night, so why would she back down when facing a woman?

So what if she's an Oscar-winning actress?
I'm also on the front line.

When it comes to comparing salaries, it's not necessarily true who earns more.
You've been divorced, and so have I. You have a great figure, so why should I be lacking?
"Julie, how about we have a spar tonight?"

Even Angelina Jolie, known for her bold style, couldn't help but be momentarily stunned upon hearing this: a friendly competition? What kind of competition?
Nicole glanced at Tang Wen, then looked at Julie with a hint of mockery in her eyes.

“Fine,” Julie thought to herself, cursing the absurdity, but she retorted verbally.

Nicole smiled and said nothing more.

The girls sat down to eat together.

Julie clumsily picked up her chopsticks, ate her food, and silently watched the virtuous Lin Chih-ling.

Does Tang like this kind of thing?

Angelina Jolie is self-aware; she struggles to portray gentleness even in movies, let alone in real life.

After eating hot pot, a car took Tang Wen and the women back to the villa.

He was supposed to be resting at the company, waiting for feedback on today's film.

But so many beautiful women came knocking on my door.

Most of them were foreign friends.

Even with her extensive experience, Julie couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine.

No!

I thought I was very open-minded.

I didn't expect that compared to you guys, I'm still not crazy enough!

Looking at Nicole Kidman's ambiguous smile, Jolie calmed down: Impossible, these women, apart from Lin, are all actresses.

They need to appear on camera.

They couldn't even be bothered to move a finger.

He collapsed onto the bed and fell asleep within seconds.

Before we knew it, it was the afternoon of the following day.

Nicole Kidman is taller and more experienced.

The first to wake up.

Looking at Julie, who was fast asleep beside him, he couldn't help but reach out and pinch her cheek, then glance at her a few more times.

He muttered, "This woman does have some assets."

Holding onto the edge of the bed, he struggled to get up.

Julie woke up soon after.

Opening my eyes to the unfamiliar ceiling, I felt like I had blacked out after drinking.

This is where?

Why am I here?

Oh, right, that damn Nicole!

It's normal to feel overwhelmed.

Julie sat up and glanced at her watch.

It's not too late yet.

She wants to create a publicity stunt about her relationship with Tang Wen, and she will continue to accompany him on his promotional tour today.

After tidying up, I sat down at the dining table.

The housekeeper said, "The main gate is blocked by reporters who want to interview us."

However, it's nothing serious.

Director Tang's security team was highly professional. The car was bulletproof, the windows were double-layered, and even had privacy film applied.

Had a meal.

As Julie drove off, reporters chased after the vehicle, banging on the windows, trying to get an interview with the person inside.

She thought for a moment and decided not to let the driver escape the reporters' pursuit.

Upon arriving at the Galaxy Entertainment building, he got out of the car confidently and turned to greet the reporters.

The reporter was satisfied!

"It really is Julie!"

“She stayed at Tang Wen’s villa last night.”

Will the two of them get married?

"No way, Tang is notorious for being a womanizer."

Julie was in a good mood as she entered the building and took a stack of newspapers from the front desk.

Unsurprisingly, the newspapers were full of rumors about her and Tang Wen.

It can no longer be called a scandal.

Photos of them having dinner at a restaurant yesterday, climbing a helicopter together, and kissing have all been taken.

They look like a pair no matter how you look at them!
Unfortunately, Tang, that womanizer, refused to date me.

However, thinking about the several women from last night...

Julie shook her head again.

If we actually started dating, wouldn't Nicole Kidman be taking advantage of me?

She knew that even if they were together, she couldn't control Tang Wen.

"Have the box office results been released yet?"

Julie pushed open the door and walked into the CEO's office.

"We're compiling the statistics now, but it'll be done soon," Lin Zhiling replied casually.

Tang Wen was wearing headphones and making a remote call in China.

The person opposite me is Tang Wei.

Her self-directed and self-acted film "Jade Goddess of Mercy" is about to be taken off the screens.

The box office has now exceeded 3200 million.

It is expected to gross over 3500 million before it leaves theaters.

The domestic media are praising her endlessly.

Directing is a technical job that requires resilience, and Tang Wei clearly has a good ability to withstand pressure.

After we finished discussing business...

Tang Wei tentatively asked, "Angelina Jolie."

Tang Wen was somewhat surprised: Do news travel that fast these days?
he does not know.

Several portal websites, including Renren.com.

They have all sent staff overseas.

My main responsibility was to send messages back to China as soon as possible.

Now, photos of him having dinner with Julie and landing from a helicopter are everywhere on the Chinese internet.

"There's no special relationship; it's just hype."

Lin Zhiling glanced at Tang Wen, then at Julie, thinking: Julie doesn't understand Chinese, otherwise, given her temperament, she might not have been able to hold back when she heard this.

"A publicity stunt? You're all kissing each other now!"

"Hey, the hype here is way too much. I'm a victim too."

"Hmph! I don't believe you for a second."

"Really, now that you've finished filming, why don't you come and stay here for a few days?"

Tang Wei naturally wanted to come, but when she thought of Lin Zhiling here, she didn't want to come.

hang up the phone.

She sent a message to the QQ group: He said that his relationship with that foreign actress Angelina Jolie was just a publicity stunt.

"Heh, you actually believe that!" Fan Bingbing was furious.

She was running around doing promotional tours in the country, and it got her stressed out.

Tang Wen, however, was dating female celebrities in the United States.

"If you don't believe me, go find him!"

"I'm busy!"

"You're an actor, all you do is act, what are you so busy with?"

"You're amazing as a director!"

The two started arguing.

Li Xiaoran ignored the other two people in the group.

Just quietly be a bystander.

Wang Zuxian saw this and came out to mediate, rubbing her temples.

Tang Wei's eyes lit up: "Sister Xian, after you're done with this, why don't you go to America to keep an eye on him?"

Wang Zuxian: "Me? I can't keep an eye on you."

"Sister Xian, you're his goddess!"

"That's right, Sister Xian, you can definitely keep him in check and make him behave for a few months!"

Wang Zuxian pursed her lips, not thinking she could make Tang Wen behave himself.

Fan Bingbing and Tang Wei tried together to persuade Wang Zuxian, attempting to win her over.

It's been a while since we last met.

Wang Zuxian did indeed miss Tang Wen and was tempted, replying, "I'll see when I'm done with my work. Maybe he'll come back to film."

Seeing that she agreed, Tang Wei showed his "chicken feet": "Sister Xian, when we get there, we must teach that Lin a lesson. She's just an assistant, but she's acting like she's the main wife."

Wang Zuxian's lips twitched. No wonder she was so eager to persuade me to go.

So it turns out I suffered a loss over there.

Tang Wen's scandals have spread across the Chinese internet.

Women in China can't possibly be unaware of this.

Dong Xuan checked Julie's age and then stopped caring.

Aunt Yu Feihong sent a few sarcastic messages.

Zeng Li and Hu Jing whispered for a while before calling him to remind him to take care of his health!
The sister, who was as gentle and unassuming as a chrysanthemum, didn't send a single message from beginning to end.

It's not that she's not angry.

Rather, this is how she expresses her dissatisfaction.

Since she didn't take the initiative, Tang Wen had no choice but to contact her.

Chinese Internet.

Netizens are envious of Director Tang again.

While I'm still making a fool of myself at school, Director Tang is already driving a fancy car.

[This is not accurate; it should be said that he rode a rickshaw.]

【Insightful! 】

Renren.com has denied the rumors, saying it's just a publicity stunt!

Oh, so that's solid evidence.

【Ha ha】

Tang Wen didn't have the energy to pay attention to these things; he was already immune to rumors.

The roadshow in North America has begun.

The three main actors run one route, while Tang Wen runs his own route.

That evening.

He boarded a passenger plane and flew to other cities.

After landing.

Seeing news about Lin Chih-ling:

Yesterday, the box office figures for "Pirates of the Caribbean" for its first day were released: $2759 million (including $321 million in pre-sales).

This result naturally earned it the top spot at the North American box office for a single day.

"Wow! Congratulations on another successful film! And a big-budget one at that!" Julie's tone was full of praise.

Tang Wen frowned.

Now is not the time to relax.

The overseas box office figures haven't been released yet.

The budget for "Pirates of the Caribbean" was so high that it not only opened in North America yesterday, but was also released simultaneously in dozens of countries around the world.

Success or failure depends not only on box office revenue in North America.

In the original timeline, "Pirates of the Caribbean" was released on a weekday, not on a Friday.

Instead, it was a weekday, Wednesday, and the box office only reached a little over 1300 million yuan that day.

Now, it has more than doubled.

It was certainly a success.

This blockbuster has garnered a lot of attention both domestically and internationally.

Box office news.

It spread rapidly throughout the entertainment industry.
