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

Chapter 374 Who will entertain Director Tang and showcase Tokyo's hospitality? (Please subscribe)
John Mayer, who had been hiding in his villa and not seeing anyone outside for many days, learned about the outside world only through newspapers and the internet.

It's impossible for a sow to kiss its own mother.

Death is impossible.

Reputation and performance fees, let them fall if they want.

He publicly stated that he was focusing on polishing his next album.

Whether others believe it or not, he himself believes it.

But no matter what, it's always frustrating to be unable to go out.

Fortunately, Hollywood has a thriving entertainment industry and high-class escorts who can secretly visit.

Just to avoid being seen by reporters at the entrance, they have to send a car to pick them up each time, which is quite troublesome.

That morning, as usual, Bangyou drove to drop off the woman from the previous night, and brought back today's newspaper on his way back.

John Mayer was overjoyed after reading it!
Did Brad Pitt cheat on his wife with his nanny?
Even Pitt can't eat this!
Poor Pitt, as a top male star, is this what he eats?
He and Jennifer Aniston are one of the most famous celebrity couples in the United States!
Pitt is barely a top-tier star.

Jennifer is a top-tier female celebrity.

If Pitt cheats and is photographed and videotaped, the entire nation of journalists will be in an uproar. Who will have time to care about themselves?
My days of being confined at home like I'm in jail are finally coming to an end.

John Melton felt an urge to burst into tears.

These days have been so tough.

Just because he casually belittled Tang Wen, he almost ruined his family and his loved ones.

I must stay away from that damned Tang from now on!

The whole of America is watching this drama unfold.

Brad Pitt received the news at noon.

Jennifer wasn't home last night, so he had a great time with the nanny, exploring some new positions and roles.

I was completely exhausted, so I woke up a little late.

I was woken up by the nanny, who looked terrified, shaking me with a newspaper.

Looking at the clear photos in the newspaper, Brad Pitt wondered if he was dreaming!

Unfortunately, it wasn't a dream.

After watching the news and videos, Pitt turned ashen-faced, knowing he was doomed.

My relationship with Jennifer is completely over!
If it were just a blurry photo, he would still have room to defend himself.

With his outstanding physique and eloquent tongue, he was confident he could persuade Jennifer to forgive him.

But this damn photo is too clear.

Jennifer Aniston can no longer be reached by phone.

She was even more devastated than Pitt.

She locked herself in her hotel room, refusing to see anyone, letting her tears fall like rain, soaking the sheets.

She hoped, even more than Pitt, that this was all a nightmare.

Her assistant, agent, and family couldn't help but worry about her.

"Hahaha... This is actually true? What kind of American sweetheart can't even keep an eye on her own husband!" Anne Hathaway lost all composure, holding the newspaper about Pitt's infidelity, and laughed, revealing her back teeth in public.

Click!

Someone captured this moment on camera.

The assistant's eyes narrowed, sensing something was wrong. He quickly ordered the bodyguards to step forward and snatch the camera, but the other person was very agile and disappeared into the crowd in a few moves.

"Don't be too nervous, let's leave here first." Anne Hathaway was in a good mood and led the way out of the mall.

In the villa.

Lin Chih-ling accompanied Naomi Watts as they read the newspaper and watched the news.

The latter looked utterly incredulous: "This...this could be Tang?"

Lin Chih-ling stopped her from continuing with a look, and smiled, "That's a miracle."

Naomi Watts instinctively defended Tang Wen: "Yes, that's a miracle. These photos and videos are real. If Jennifer has anyone to blame, it's Pete, who's a jerk."

"It is said that Jennifer Aniston cared a lot about this relationship, and unsurprisingly, it was a big blow to her."

Recalling the interviews with Jennifer that she had watched before, Naomi nodded and said, "I hope she can get back on her feet soon."

Lin Chih-ling said with admiration, "We should say the same thing to outsiders."

Naomi pondered, "Should I try to win Jennifer's favor?"

"Yes, it's best to genuinely care about her."

"Okay, I will."

As Tang Wen had predicted, Jennifer was devastated and unable to work.

Her team and family invited relationship experts and psychologists, and after two days of observation, analysis and judgment from multiple perspectives.

Ultimately, the decision was made to prioritize her health, and she began to turn down work.

Among them, CAA's agent took the initiative to visit the actor who was not yet signed for the film "King Kong".

Upon arriving at the film set's building, the agent parked the car and headed towards the parking lot exit.

Not far from him, an Asian man wearing a hat got off the bus at the same time.

The man was walking along, reading a newspaper as he went: "That damn Pete, how dare he betray Rachel! I'll give him a good beating if I ever see him!"

The agent instinctively raised an eyebrow, becoming wary: What a coincidence, running into a Jennifer fan here?

However, the other woman didn't even look up, not even glancing at him. She was flipping through the newspaper in her hand, continuing to curse: "Damn big-mouthed bitch, where did this wild woman come from! Will mocking Rachel make you famous? That smile is fucking ugly..."

I left the parking lot and watched the person walk away.

The agent went to a nearby newsstand, rummaged through the pages, and found a tabloid in which Anne Hathaway was grinning widely.

In the photo, her eyes are fixed on a picture of Brad Pitt cheating.

It was clearly a mockery of Jennifer.

The agent was extremely unhappy.

This woman must think she can get the lead role in "King Kong"!

He then looked at other newspapers and found that a reporter had interviewed another competitor, Naomi Watts.

He simply took out his money, bought two newspapers, and went to the office of the "King Kong" film crew.

The director, producer, and several key members of the creative team were all present.

The agent apologized on Jennifer's behalf.

Everyone expressed their understanding and regret, offering some polite words.

Before leaving, the agent handed two newspapers to the producer.

The content in the newspaper was strikingly contrasting.

The other two actresses nominated for the lead role in "King Kong" were Anne Hathaway and Jennifer Lawrence. Anne Hathaway's gloating and smug smile when Jennifer Lawrence was in trouble was annoying.

It's important to understand that Jennifer was a complete victim.

Therefore, it's understandable that people feel uncomfortable seeing Anne Hathaway's smile.

Everyone has their bad days. She's laughing at Jennifer now, but when she's down on her luck, will she laugh at herself in the same way?

Naomi Watts, on the other hand, acted completely differently. When answering reporters' questions, she spoke up for Jennifer multiple times and concluded by wishing her a speedy recovery from her ordeal.

Putting down his newspaper, director Peter Jackson said, "It seems that Naomi is the only option for the lead role."

The producer had no objections.

Jennifer Aniston couldn't handle the blow, and there was nothing he could do.

It's a pity, Jennifer was originally an actress who had the potential to join the $2000 million club.

She has the potential to become a top female celebrity in the industry.

Now it seems that if she can't get out of the shadow of her marriage as soon as possible, and if it drags on for too long, her career will be interrupted and her future will be ruined.

Fortunately, with the long and classic sitcom "Friends," Jennifer won't be completely forgotten.

The production team notified Naomi Watts to sign a contract.

The news was officially announced a day later.

Based on the angle and location of the video footage, professionals helped Pete analyze that someone had installed a miniature camera in his home.

It was later demolished.

Pete immediately recalled that a while ago, when there was a problem with the wiring at home, a repair company came to fix it.

So they immediately called the police and had a lawyer hold the other party accountable.

However, everyone in the company was completely baffled, claiming that they had never been to Beverly Hills or received a phone call.

Later, an investigation revealed that their company's phone calls had been precisely intercepted and transferred.

The other party is a professional, and they handled things cleanly. The investigation has reached a complete standstill.

Pete was both terrified and furious, and he was furious, but there was nothing he could do.

On the other hand, Jennifer Aniston, after much agonizing thought, decided to divorce Pitt.

As international celebrities, the impact of their actions continues to spread.

Tang Wen ended his trip to Europe and returned to Paris with Sophie to rest.

Considering the setting of a date, it can't always be indoors, like in a hotel.

The two decided to go out for a walk.

France was blessed with good weather; the temperature wasn't too high, and there were few clouds, making it perfect for climbing to a high vantage point and enjoying the view.

The two went to climb the Eiffel Tower.

Upon arriving at the destination, Tang Wen witnessed the popularity of the French Rose.

Ever since Sophie was recognized, fans have blocked the road.

Men surrounded her like pilgrims, their eyes filled with admiration, longing, and fantasy.

Incidentally, she also attempted to "kill" Tang Wen with her eyes.

Director Tang chuckled inwardly, even wanting to retort: ​​"What you're thinking right now, I can do tonight!"

Unfortunately, I can't say that.

Otherwise, even bodyguards couldn't protect him.

Sophie received special treatment; after getting their photos taken, the people queuing for the lighthouse made way for them.

Although she said she didn't need it, she couldn't refuse her kind offer and had to accept.

Tang Wen also encountered many female fans who asked for autographs or photos.

He fulfilled all their requests.

“How’s the view?”

"A panoramic view of all the mountains below" (in Chinese)

"What do you mean?"

Tang Wen was too lazy to explain, so he just made up a story: "If there weren't so many people on the tower, we could do some fun things here."

Sophie rolled her eyes at him: "It's a pity this place isn't open at night."

Tang Wen: "...You French people are so romantic!"

After a romantic getaway in France, Tang Wen moved on to Asia.

Our first stop is Singapore, the Lion City.

While Lin Chih-ling was busy in Singapore, news came from Hollywood.

A few days ago, Tang Wen arranged for her to use her connections to influence Samsung Group, and in turn, their entertainment company.

The connections behind Samsung are not hard to find; what's difficult is knowing that the other party is a ruthless conglomerate that preys on people without hesitation.

BlackRock and Vanguard Group are both behemoths.

They manage trillions of US dollars in assets.

With Tang Wen and Galaxy Entertainment's size, they couldn't even put together a team.

Unless Olivia is brought in, it will be difficult to speak with the real higher-ups.

But it's not worth bothering the Brown family over such a trivial matter.

Thinking of this, he asked Lin Zhiling, "What about banks? Which banks hold shares in Samsung?"

Unsurprisingly, Tang Wen heard the names of a series of investment banks from her, including Citibank, JP Morgan, and Goldman Sachs.

After a moment's thought, Tang Wen came up with an idea: "Our Marvel is going to initiate a privatization and delisting process, which is a good business opportunity. We can use this to negotiate terms with them."

The Marvel Cinematic Universe series will not be launched for the time being.

Before the launch, it is necessary to recall the outstanding shares.

This matter needs to be handled with the help of banks or stock institutions.

"Okay, which one should we choose?"

"JP Morgan, I guess."

In Tang Wen's memory, JP Morgan in later generations always had a positive outlook on China's business.

He added, "Since it could potentially affect Samsung, let's not just talk about collaborating on one film." Otherwise, wouldn't that be underestimating JP Morgan's influence?

"Understood, I will consider it based on the specific negotiation situation."

Tang Wen praised her a couple of times with satisfaction.

Lin Chih-ling has grown rapidly and has already become a qualified CEO.

Then, Lin Chih-ling talked about the North American box office results for "Pirates of the Caribbean" in the new week.

Similar to the original timeline.

With the official arrival of summer vacation, more and more young people and students are going to the cinema.

The Caribbean exhibits a stable long-tail effect.

The North American box office totaled $6197 million this week!
Compared to last week's 8577 million, the decrease is not significant.

It once again topped the North American box office for the week.

This has made most Hollywood directors and producers extremely envious.

The total box office has exceeded US$4.1 million, with overseas box office figures for this week not yet available.

Once the statistics are released, even if it doesn't reach 5 million, it should be close to that.

The fact that it has achieved such high box office numbers in just three weeks far surpasses its predecessor.

It can be said that his efforts over this period of time were not wasted.

After leaving Singapore, Tang Wen arrived in Tokyo, Japan.

As a country where the United States has a military presence, the Japanese people really enjoy English songs.

Tang Wen's name has been consistently at the top of the trending songs charts lately.

With the help of Tokyo Disneyland's promotional efforts, Tang Wen's destinations were packed with crowds of thousands.

Tokyo Disneyland has released the latest box office figures for Japan last week.

Compared to the previous week, it only decreased slightly, by a full $2300 million.

Tang Wen's arrival caused quite a stir, and Dongbao Company naturally knew about it as well.

Their CEO called personally, wanting to host a banquet for Tang Wen.

Previously, through Tang Wen's introduction, Dongbao Company and DreamWorks in the United States got together.

Next, DreamWorks will entrust Toho with the distribution of two films in Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia.

Dongbao received such a great benefit, so of course he wanted to thank Tang Wen.

At the same time, seeing how much money Pirates of the Caribbean made, they hoped that Tang Wen could strengthen cooperation with them in the future, just like DreamWorks.

"Who to send?"

When the president of Toho asked, the vice president who had previously hosted Tang Wen lowered his head in thought. The two of them tacitly understood that Tang Wen was a womanizer and would naturally send a female celebrity to accompany him.

In the East Asian entertainment industry, apart from domestic female stars who have a good status, the status of female stars in Japan and South Korea is really... best left unmentioned.

The vice president lowered his head and remained silent.

The president of Toho asked impatiently, "What? Is there a problem?"

"No, President, I'm trying to figure out Director Tang Wen's preferences."

"Oh? Tell me about it." The president seemed quite interested.

This vice president, primarily responsible for reception work—in other words, public relations—had indeed studied the preferences of Tang Wen, this important figure.

"Director Tang has a close relationship with Ms. Wang Zuxian from Hong Kong, as well as with Nicole Kidman, the newly crowned Oscar-winning actress from the United States, and Sophie Marceau, the French rose..."

He rattled off the names of several extremely famous mature beauties.

The president understood what he meant: "You mean, we made a mistake in our strategy before, and we shouldn't have let a young girl like Satomi Ishihara entertain Director Tang?"

"That's right. Although Satomi Ishihara is beautiful, Director Tang seems to have some reservations and hasn't touched her."

"Alright, then go ahead with your idea. Please invite two mature women. I won't personally entertain them. Please apologize to Tang for me."

After saying that, the president got up and left with little interest.

The vice president knew that the president was getting old and could handle younger women, but he didn't like mature beauties at all.

Of course, so does he.

Perhaps, this time I should leave early and leave the two sensible beauties to entertain Director Tang alone?
