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

Chapter 376 Director Tang is really quick to recognize his sister! (Please subscribe)
Leaving the vibrant city of Tokyo, I arrived in Seoul, where I was warmly welcomed.

However, the time was too short.

The negotiation team arranged by Lin Chih-ling and Robert in the United States has not yet reached an agreement with JP Morgan.

Therefore, Tang Wen's trip to Seoul was really just to promote his movie and album.

Even if someone wants to have something happen with him.

There's no guarantee that there will be an opportunity.

Promotional event for the first cinema.

Tang Wen and Lee Hyori, who is currently very popular, interacted on the same stage.

The two sang Tang Wen's "Baby". Lee Hyori's charming eyes were full of electricity, and Tang Wen's peach blossom eyes were just as captivating.

Their eyes met, eliciting screams from the audience.

Tang Wen quickly looked away.

The young Lee Hyori seemed somewhat disappointed.

If possible, she wouldn't mind, or rather, she would be very willing to develop a romantic relationship with Tang Wen.

Putting aside everything else, there's the aura that comes with the other party's popularity and status.

It will definitely make her life much better in South Korean society.

"Tang Wen oppa, this is my contact information." After the event ended, Lee Hyori and others stayed backstage.

Tang Wen did not correct her way of addressing her.

Lee Hyori is three years older than him.

He took the business card and had his assistant hand him his contact information.

Before Lee Hyori could say anything more, the head of Disney Korea arrived with a group of people to greet Tang Wen.

"Ms. Li, I'll contact you later."

"Uh, okay."

The group of people walked out in a large crowd.

Lee Hyori felt a little helpless. Looking at his retreating figure, she could only sigh: "The difference in status is too great. There's probably no chance of us contacting each other again."

"Unnie! Please invite Tang Wen oppa to our party tonight!" Sung Yu-ri leaned in from behind, her oval face full of excitement.

She and Lee Hyori were in the same group before, called fin.kl.

I came here today to join the fun and get an autograph.

"What are you thinking about all day long? Can't you see the people around him?"

"Who is it? Which club president?"

“He’s the president of Disney Korea! He’s even half a step behind Tang Wen oppa!” Lee Hyori tapped her sister’s head with her finger.

"Ah—" Sung Yu-ri exclaimed, "That's amazing!"

For the second event, Tang Wen's female partner was changed to Son Ye-jin, who had just become very popular because of "The Classic".

The two interacted on stage.

The host asked, "Director Tang performs martial arts in the Chinese music video. Has Director Tang ever practiced martial arts?"

"I've had some training." Tang Wen glanced at the stage and thought: Without using guns, all of you can come at me together.

"Oh, then we have a test for you."

After the host finished speaking, the audience started to cheer.

The test is simple.

Tang Wen sang while holding or carrying Son Ye-jin on his back.

This interaction was somewhat ambiguous.

Korean variety shows are known for their boldness, and this level of ambiguity was toned down because they were afraid Tang Wen wouldn't be able to accept it.

But, he was carrying or holding a woman on his back.

Especially with a beautiful girl like Son Ye-jin, who has a great figure and a lovely, soft, and sweet scent, Tang Wen really wouldn't dare to do that.

His body was like a blazing furnace, irresistible even to those who couldn't resist paying homage.

Once tempted, one will inevitably reveal it, even in public.

After thinking about it, he agreed.

Otherwise, they would definitely be ridiculed by the media.

I exchanged a few words with Son Ye-jin.

Tang Wen bent down slightly, and Sun Yizhen wrapped her arms around his neck. Tang Wen used his right hand to lift her legs and gently exerted force.

Amidst the gasps of the host on stage and the fans in the audience, he suddenly picked up Son Ye-jin.

In this position, the contact area between the two bodies is not large.

"Oppa is so manly~"

"His boyfriend-like qualities are off the charts!"

"Ye-jin is so lucky!"

"Let go of Oppa, let me do it..."

Son Ye-jin felt as light as a feather in Tang Wen's arms.

The hormonal and masculine scent emanating from Tang Wen made her pretty face flush red.

Tang Wen oppa is completely different from those handsome Korean men!
Son Ye-jin couldn't help but hook her arms around his neck and stare intently at his profile.

I didn't hear what Tang Wen was singing at all.

Holding someone in one arm, he easily finished singing a song.

The audience's applause failed to wake Son Ye-jin.

Tang Wen bent down to put her down, but she didn't seem to notice and continued to hold Tang Wen tightly.

The host couldn't help but lean over and laugh, "Ye-jin! Wake up, it's time to end your sweet dream."

There was a burst of laughter from the audience.

"Huh?" Son Ye-jin came to her senses, her pretty face flushed red, and she hurriedly let go of Tang Wen, but she stumbled.

Tang Wen reacted quickly and caught her waist.

Their eyes met, and they looked exceptionally affectionate.

"Oh oh oh~"

The audience erupted in cheers and jeers.

The host took the opportunity to ask her how she felt. Son Ye-jin stammered, a blush spreading from her cheeks to her earlobes, and she lowered her head, unable to speak.

Tang Wen smiled and deflected the question for her, changing the subject.

"Let's get married right here!"

"That's too much pampering!"

"..."

The audience shouted.

The host immediately stirred things up: "Ms. Ye-jin, what is your ideal type?"

Son Ye-jin's heart was pounding, and she subconsciously glanced at Tang Wen.

This made things even more lively.

The atmosphere at the event was electric.

Overjoyed, the audience generously donated money, buying numerous movie tickets, albums, and novels.

The event ended in the evening.

Backstage, Son Ye-jin mustered her courage and said, "Tang Wen oppa, thank you for taking care of me. May I treat you to dinner?"

Born in the same year as Tang Wen, Son Ye-jin, who is just 21 years old, has a good personality and a sweet appearance, which fits his aesthetic.

He laughed and said, "I happen to be missing a female companion for the dinner."

"I...can I?" Son Ye-jin looked up, her eyes sparkling as if stars were twinkling in them.

This girl is so good at it.

Without a word, Tang Wen took her hand and led her outside.

Son Ye-jin's heart skipped a beat; the heat emanating from her small hands made her heart pound wildly.

She was stunned and stared anxiously at her agent.

Son Ye-jin is signed with a small company.

The company is run by a woman who treats her well and has always tried to protect her in the notoriously corrupt world of the Korean entertainment industry.

So far, everything has gone relatively smoothly.

Because Son Ye-jin has only recently become famous.

Only after gaining fame will one come into the sights of some truly influential figures.

Son Ye-jin's appearance also conforms to the traditional aesthetic standards of South Korea and even East Asia.

It was only a matter of time before some big shots took notice of me.

The agency is no longer able to protect her as it used to.

For example, right now: I saw Son Ye-jin seemingly bewitched, following Tang Wen.

The agent was both angry and anxious: "This brat, how long have you known him? You're already going to run off with him?"

Do you know where we're going?
Tang Wen is famous, and he has many women around him.

Once he leaves South Korea, he'll forget about you in the blink of an eye!
She wanted to shout to call Son Ye-jin back, but she didn't dare in a Disney setting.

They tried to get closer, but were blocked by bodyguards and the crowd, unable to squeeze in.

I'm so anxious I'm about to explode.

Son Ye-jin carried her phone with her, but it was on silent mode...

The agent watched helplessly as Son Ye-jin was led into the van by Tang Wen.

The moment the car door closed, my heart, which had been hanging in suspense, died completely.

The dinner featured Korean royal cuisine.

The host was Disney.

Tang Wen felt no anticipation whatsoever when he heard "imperial cuisine".

What are some examples of Korean royal cuisine?
Is this a meeting about kimchi?

Son Ye-jin seemed quite excited.

She comes from an ordinary family and is signed with a small company; she has never attended such a grand occasion before.

After calming down, she suddenly felt uneasy again: What's wrong with me?
Why did she suddenly follow Tang Wen? Instinctively, she gripped Tang Wen's hand tightly in return.

"Don't worry, you don't need to say anything later. Just focus on eating as long as I don't call you." Tang Wen patted her hand.

"Okay, thank you, Oppa." Son Ye-jin felt relieved.

It feels amazing.

It was as if she didn't have to worry about being hurt if she stayed by Tang Wen's side.

But this is only the first time we've met!

She stared at their clasped hands, wanting to let go but unwilling to.

We arrived at a Korean restaurant with three Michelin stars.

Son Ye-jin then remembered to contact her manager.

She took out her phone and saw a string of missed calls and dozens of unread text messages, and couldn't help but stick out her tongue.

But at that moment, there was no time for her to return the call.

As Tang Wen's companion, she had to stay by his side.

I could only send a simple text message to my agent to let her know where I was and reassure her.

The restaurant in front of us is called GAON.

Tang Wen looked puzzled.

Son Ye-jin lowered her voice and explained, "It's an abbreviation of a Korean word that means center and model."

This place is even known as the best Korean restaurant in the world.

Tang Wen shook his head secretly.

If there were any restaurants in China, they would dare to claim to be the best Chinese restaurants in the world.

Famous chefs from all over the country will come and take turns serving it!

That's fucking insane.

Of course, no one in China would dare to use such a name.

Chinese cuisine is incredibly vast and profound.

Let alone being the number one Chinese cuisine, no one dares to challenge the title of number one Sichuan cuisine or number one Cantonese cuisine.

As the dishes were served one by one, his preconceived notions about Korea, the land of kimchi, were shattered.

Korean beef, abalone, red ginseng, and swimming crab—the ingredients are plentiful.

Apart from a stone pot bibimbap, there was practically no kimchi.

The food itself wasn't top-notch, but the presence of such high-end ingredients in a Korean restaurant might actually indicate that it was top-notch.

South Korea follows Chinese culture, and drinking parties are an essential part of the meal.

The head of Disney Korea was the first to toast Tang Wen, and during their conversation, they talked about the United States and mentioned headquarters.

The implication was very clear: they hoped Tang Wen would put in a good word for them with the next president, Aiger.

In response, he offered three toasts.

His slightly ingratiating attitude surprised everyone.

The most surprised person was Son Ye-jin. Korean Disney is something that small companies and minor artists like her can't even reach if they stand on tiptoe.

The person in charge of the other party was surprisingly respectful to Tang Wen Oppa.

Among the executives of Disney Korea present, some understood, while others were confused.

But no matter what, there are no fools.

Seeing their boss's attitude towards Tang Wen, everyone followed suit, regardless of whether they understood it or not.

Tang Wen doesn't need to give them much face.

He just had three drinks with the Korean regional manager.

Now, when dealing with the other party's subordinates, the other party does all the work, and he does as he pleases.

Korean pure rice soju has a low alcohol content, but he doesn't like to drink much of it.

After the other party finished toasting, Tang Wen, along with Son Ye-jin, returned the toast to the Korean regional manager: "Ye-jin is my younger sister. I hope President Park will take good care of her."

younger sister?

The Korean regional manager was surprised by how quickly Director Tang recognized his sister.

If I remember correctly, Son Ye-jin was one of the guests they invited, right?

But he showed no intention of exposing him, and smiled sincerely: "It is my honor to be able to help Director Tang!"

After saying that, President Park looked at his secretary in the corner: "Go and check immediately what activities we have coming up that would be suitable for inviting Miss Sun!"

"Ah, this? I..." Son Ye-jin was completely stunned.

How can something like this fall from the sky while we're having a meal?
Also, when did I become Oppa's sister?

Eh?
Seeing her in a daze, Tang Wen smiled and patted her shoulder: "Yizhen, let's toast President Park together."

“Okay, Oppa.” She said “Oppa” very naturally.

President Park gave me face, so I drank it without hesitation.

They drank it willingly.

In his view, this was a transaction of interests.

Tang Wen asked him to take care of Sun Yizhen, which proves that he will speak up for him at the US headquarters.

Of course, Tang Wen didn't see it that way; he didn't take it to heart at all.

If President Park can stay in office after Iger takes office, he will still respect Tang Wen and take care of Son Ye-jin, even if he is not sure if Tang Wen has contributed to it.

If he steps down, he poses no threat to Tang Wen and Son Ye-jin.

Tang Wen asked Aiger to greet the new head of the Korean region, and the other party naturally understood what to do.

The entertainment industry is all about interpersonal relationships and social dynamics!

With Tang Wen's current connections, taking care of a Korean female celebrity would be a piece of cake.

After finishing the meal, I politely declined their invitation to a second meal.

Tang Wen helped Sun Yizhen into the car.

The latter had mixed feelings: Where is Oppa taking me?

hotel?

Isn't this too fast?

If I go, will Oppa think I'm a promiscuous person?
No, no, no...

My oppa is so good to me, he even went to great lengths to get the Disney president to take care of me, how could I not go?!
How could I not go?
Lost in thought, she didn't realize that the car had arrived at the Shilla Hotel Seoul, not far from the GAON restaurant.

The hotel butler led the way, with the security team clearing the path, escorting the two into their private elevator.

Stepping out of the elevator, you'll see an eight-meter-long Baroque-style gilded relief in the corridor.

From a later perspective, it seems a bit extravagant.

But now it's 2003, and the gilded relief only gives people a feeling of luxury.

Upon entering the room, Son Ye-jin, somewhat overwhelmed by its size, was stunned by its sheer size.

In Seoul in 2003, the average living space per person was very small.

Son Ye-jin had just become famous and hadn't had a chance to see what a presidential suite was like.

"Oppa, are we staying here? Isn't it too expensive?" Looking at the luxurious interior and the eye-catching floating crystal bar, Son Ye-jin couldn't help but look up and ask.

Tang Wen certainly didn't think it was expensive, because it was Disney Korea that was paying for it.

After all, his purpose in coming here was to promote "Pirates of the Caribbean," a collaboration with Disney.

I work so hard, what's wrong with Disney paying for me to stay in nicer accommodations?
But Tang Wen, of course, wouldn't say that.

He smiled and said, "Whether it's expensive or not isn't determined by the price."

"Then what are you looking at?" Son Ye-jin asked curiously.

She looked a little naive, and Tang Wen couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke her delicate nose, his peach blossom eyes filled with affection: "It depends on who you're with."

hum~
Son Ye-jin was struck as if by Cupid's arrow from a fairy tale.

My heart was pounding wildly.

The brain is thinking uncontrollably:

Does Oppa like me?
That's impossible. The media says he's very promiscuous.

Why not? Oppa even arranged for Disney to take care of me!

He's just trying to lie to you.

No, Oppa isn't like that. When he hugged me this afternoon, he didn't grope me at all...

"Well!"

A warm, moist touch came from between her lips.

The innocent-looking Son Ye-jin was struck dumb and tried to push Tang Wen away.

But he couldn't muster any strength in his arms.

Her hands wouldn't obey her commands. Even though she was thinking of pushing him away, somehow, her unruly hands ended up hugging him.

"Um, Oppa, I... I'm not a casual person."

By the time they finally managed to say those words, the two of them had already collapsed onto the sofa.

Tang Wen kissed her on the cheek: "I know, I've watched your dramas and I follow you."

"Really?" Son Ye-jin's eyes widened, a mixture of surprise and doubt.

"of course."

Yes, at least the past life was real.

South Korea has a strict censorship policy for films, which has resulted in many excellent movies.

Tang Wen read quite a lot.

There aren't many actresses who have left a deep impression on her, but Son Ye-jin is one of them.

Seeing that she seemed somewhat skeptical, Tang Wen reached out and touched her cheek, adding, "You're from Daegu, born in 82, a Capricorn, and you debuted in 2000 with a supporting role in 'Secret.' Your family..."

Son Ye-jin opened her red lips wide, her heart almost melting.

My body is getting weaker and weaker.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up, as if she had just thought of something, and she blurted out, "Oppa, you don't have a crush on me, do you?!"

Tang Wen's words came to an abrupt halt, and the corner of his mouth twitched.
