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

Chapter 379 The Princess is anxious: You can say I sing badly, but you can't slander me.
Tang Wen's large apartment has been handed over.

The name of the residential area is Gongyuan No. 6.

The marketing for this house is very extravagant, with things like Rolls-Royce pick-up and drop-off services for house viewings.

It's that golden bathroom five-piece set again...

Thanks to these publicity efforts, it sparked considerable discussion in society.

They even advertised on Renren.com's real estate section, which aroused the longing or "disdain" of many young people.

Tang Wen originally didn't want to buy here.

However, in Beijing in 2003, the number of high-end residential buildings was limited.

Most of the luxury residential communities that are familiar to later generations are still just a concept.

Number 6 Gongyuan, the location is really good.

It is only two kilometers away from Tiananmen Square.

Tang Wen bought three sets in one go.

All of them have a maximum area of ​​242 square meters. Ten units of this type of apartment were launched in the first phase.

I got a discount by buying three sets together.

It originally cost more than 30,000 yuan per square meter.

I heard that Tang Wen was able to pay in full at once, which resulted in a price reduction of several thousand yuan per square meter.

He bought three sets, two of which were for his two older sisters.

Tang Tang and Tang Duoduo had worried and sacrificed a lot for their younger brother in their past life.

In this life, Tang Wen's first year of tuition at Beijing Film Academy was raised by the two of them through part-time jobs.

It cost several thousand yuan; the two of them often worked part-time to support themselves during their studies.

Now that Tang Wen has the ability, he should naturally make sure they live a better life.

My eldest sister has graduated, and my second sister is about to graduate. It would be perfect to give each of them a house.

At the same time, their household registrations will also be transferred to Beijing.

However, after graduating, the eldest sister, Tang Tang, did not want to come to her younger brother's company.

She has always been decisive and was once a renowned homeroom teacher at a key provincial high school in her previous life.

The class's college entrance rate and the rate of students admitted to key universities are quite impressive.

He has considerable experience in exam-oriented education.

Later, I opened a training school and made some money.

It was because she was there to support her at home and take good care of her mother that Tang Wen was able to roam freely outside the film and television industry in his previous life.

Recently, Tang Wen talked to her, and she still expressed her interest in teaching and educating people.

Based on her experience as a tutor over the past two years, she discovered that she excels in this area.

I plan to spend three years training at a school within the system.

She wanted to see if she was cut out to be a teacher. If so, she planned to continue developing in this direction and start a business using Tang Wen's resources.

The eldest sister, Tang Tang, had a practical and feasible plan.

She still harbored the idea of ​​providing financial support for her younger brother and family.

Tang Wen rose to prominence too quickly.

They were not at ease.

Therefore, Tang Tang wanted to pursue some endeavors that were ostensibly unrelated to her younger brother.

That way, if Tang Wen becomes less popular one day and her movies don't do well at the box office, she'll be there to support her, so things won't be too bad.

She has been mindful of the positive aspects of life since she was a child.

Tang Wen couldn't persuade her otherwise, so he had to find a way to get her to do some other business.

The initial idea is to open a chain of milk tea shops, specifically the milk tea skin shops.

The eldest sister was still considering it, but the second sister, Tang Duoduo, was quite interested.

Even with her younger brother's support, she doesn't plan to start her own business right after graduation.

She planned to go into hiding and work at one of Tang Wen's companies.

After gaining experience and expertise, apply for a job at a successful milk tea shop to learn the ropes first.

In short, they both grew up in hardship, have very positive values, and always have a sense of crisis.

I know that only ability is truly reliable.

Tang Wen felt both proud and heartbroken for their significantly more mature thinking compared to their peers.

However, Tang Wen did not intend to let them act entirely according to their ideas.

There's no problem with my training ability.

However, some ways of thinking, once formed, are very difficult to change later.

Tang Wen planned to have them become decision-makers for a chain of internet cafes in their spare time.

Open accounts for them in the A-shares and US stocks, deposit millions in each account, and let them learn about investing in advance.

Next, they should be allowed to become shareholders in real estate companies, learn to read financial statements, and understand development trends.

You can't rely solely on working at the grassroots level to improve your skills and develop your abilities; that's too slow a path to growth.

Even as one grows up, one's vision and results will still be limited.

Today is a joyous occasion for Tang Wen as he moves into his new home.

In the kitchen, he was personally cooking, while Li Xiaoran was helping out.

The guests included Princess Wang, Zhou Xun, Guan Yue, Tong Dawei, Huang Xiaoming, Chen Kun, Liu Huan, Zhang Yadong, Zu Feng... all old friends.

Led by Dong Xuan, they are touring this magnificent house.

The living room wall of the house is covered with gold leaf.

It was golden and dazzling.

Zhou Xun is not good at managing money and cannot understand why Tang Wen spent more than 10 million yuan to buy a house.

She never pretends; she went straight to the bathroom as soon as she entered the room.

When I saw the advertised five-piece gold bathroom set, I almost foolishly thought it was made of pure gold.

The room was filled with Zhou Xun's exclamations of surprise.

Tong Dawei and Guan Yue, who were not familiar with her, soon felt her charm.

Tong Dawei smiled and looked at Chen Kun: "Zhou Xun has such a great personality."

"Yes, that's just how she is."

"Why call me teacher? Just call me by my name." Zhou Xun said, touching the wall as he turned around.

"Alright, Xun-ge'er."

Tang Wen didn't invite Zhou Yiwei, Zhang Songwen, or a few other classmates, not because he had forgotten them.

Tang Wen usually takes care of each of them.

Before even graduating, I've already landed five or six supporting roles in TV dramas on Earth, with my screen time becoming increasingly substantial.

He's now fully established in the industry, making a living through acting, and doing quite well at that.

Once they've been properly trained, Earth will naturally assign them important roles.

As for now, the gap in status between them and these established actors and singers is too great, and coming over might make both sides feel uncomfortable.

After walking around, everyone returned to the living room, and Dong Xuan turned on the TV.

"Tang Wei, you've adapted quite well to your new role as director..."

The television is playing an interview program.

I don't know how it happened, but the program was "Kefan's Listening" on Shanghai TV.

The person the host was interviewing was none other than Tang Wei, the currently very popular female director.

Since everyone here is in the entertainment industry, they are naturally interested in Tang Wei.

As Dong Xuan's best friend, Guan Yue was certain of Tang Wei and Tang Wen's relationship. Before anyone could voice their opinion, she grabbed the remote and changed the channel. Her mind worked quickly; as she changed the channel, she had already come up with an excuse:
"We should check the international news; maybe Director Tang will be going abroad."

There were no fools present.

I had heard about the relationship between Tang Wen and Tang Wei.

Looking at Dong Xuan, one can probably guess what happened.

Huang Xiaoming started the conversation by mentioning a rumor: "I've heard that a prince has come to buy a house here."

"prince?"

"A foreign prince?"

"Of course, there are no princes left in our country."

"..."

The dishes were ready quickly.

Everyone went to the kitchen to get their plates.

A large round table, specially designed for parties, was filled to the brim.

Zhou Xun tilted her head, her elfin eyes even more surprised than when she saw the golden bathtub: "Old Tang, you're something else! If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have thought you got takeout."

"This dish looks even better than what a professional chef would make."

"Where's the wine? With such good food, Lao Tang can't be stingy with the good wine, can he?" Liu Huan couldn't live without wine.

"Don't panic, the wine will be here soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.

Upon opening the door, I saw Huang Bo carrying two cases of Moutai liquor and Xia Tian carrying a bottle of red wine.

"Oh, Mr. Xia, let me do it." Tong Dawei stepped forward with a smile.

The tone was joking, yet it also reflected the importance of summer.

The community security guards then carried out several more cases of other liquor from the elevator.

A group of male celebrities took it and moved it into the house.

After taking his seat, Tang Wen said a few words.

As everyone ate and drank, they couldn't think of any suitable topics related to the entertainment industry for a while.

The main recent events in the industry are nothing more than three movies.

Despite the presence of Tong Dawei, the lead actor in the TV series "Jade Goddess of Mercy," the biggest surprise of this series is the movie version, and we can't talk about that without mentioning Tang Wei.

Secondly, with "Peacock" currently showing in theaters, it's impossible to avoid mentioning Fan Bingbing, the Cannes Film Festival Best Actress who has become incredibly popular.

The princess starred in her third film, "Infernal Affairs".

But the lead actress is Gao Yuanyuan.

I can't say much more.

Once Huang Xiaoming understood this, he looked at Director Tang with nothing but admiration.

We ended up talking about the residents of the community again.

They asked Tang Wendong whether the story about the prince buying a house was true or false.

"It's true, but the house is registered under their family trust." Tang Wen thought to himself with a sigh. So many countries in the Middle East produce oil; some are constantly at war, while others have always enjoyed peace. The latter are more shrewd.

"Is it really true?"

"I heard they're very rich."

"Oil, the lifeblood of industry, how can it exist without money?"

Dawei Tong mentioned another homeowner: "I heard that a tycoon named Xie also lives here?"

We all live in Beijing and have attended many cocktail parties and gatherings.

The mention of Xie Daheng, a real estate tycoon.

Everyone has heard of Dong Xuan, except for Dong Xuan.

"This person is a financial genius."

"His story is quite inspiring. He came from a rural background, worked as a middleman, and owned a winery... I even went to visit his winery with a friend."

Tang Wen had some impression of this person, but not a deep one. It seemed that this last one had gotten into trouble, right?

He didn't say anything and continued listening.

It wasn't until the princess spoke up: "His jade burial suit is said to be worth more than 20 billion."

"I heard it's over 30 billion."

Ok? !

A jade burial suit?

Tang Wen suddenly remembered who this person was and raised his glass to interrupt their discussion.

After finishing one glass, Huang Bo and Zu Feng poured more drinks for everyone.

Tang Wen said, seemingly with a hidden meaning:

"You have seen far more of the world than most people, but our society is in an era of barbaric development."

Many things you don't understand, you can learn from.

But if you still can't understand it after studying it, try not to touch it or get involved.

This tycoon Xie is involved in a considerable amount of money.

I didn't remember it, but now I do.

Tang Wen wanted to call him.

For the bigwigs in Jiangnan, or the bigwigs in the propaganda department in Beijing.

Size is a matter of personal preference.

Everyone realized that there was something wrong with this man surnamed Xie.

Huang Xiaoming subconsciously exchanged a glance with Tong Dawei, then quickly looked away. Both of them seemed to be thinking of someone, their expressions turning somewhat grim…

People are willing to believe Tang Wen's judgment.

Although he is not often in China, there are quite a few rumors about him in Beijing.

Some say that his actual background was that of a top-tier "red third-class" official in Beijing.

In order to raise him, the old man in the family deliberately adopted a hardship mode, letting him grow up in difficulties and temper his will.

Others say that Tang Wen is the son-in-law chosen by a powerful figure. Don't be fooled by his current carefree lifestyle; he'll definitely settle down after marriage...

In short, there is anything to say.

Princess and the others knew that Tang Wen not only had strong connections with China Film Group and Shanghai Film Group, but also had considerable influence in Jiangnan.

Starting two years ago, the newspapers there have mentioned Tang Wen many times.

He said that with his help, the local factory secured a large number of orders from the United States.

At the dinner table, Tang Wen changed the subject, talking about the development of domestic film and television, and his experiences during overseas promotions.

These days, even a princess doesn't have as much influence overseas as Tang Wen.

They listened with great interest.

After the meal, no one rushed to leave.

Dong Xuan led the cleaning team to tidy up, while the princess invited everyone to play mahjong, shouting that she wanted to win the gold-leafed wall that Tang Wen had covered!
Tang Wen was only familiar with mahjong and poker; he was not an expert.

The system indicates that it is only at the beginner level.

But he didn't intend to add any more points.

No need.

He wasn't interested in it, nor was he obsessed with it.

I only hang out with friends and family at most.

In this situation, there's no point in playing mind games or gambling techniques.

Winning and losing can actually help you relax.

Tang Wen was pulled to sit in the room above the princess.

The other two are Huang Xiaoming and Liu Huan.

Some of the others were watching, while others were playing cards.

At first, Tang Wen played cautiously, but after remembering the rules of mahjong, he won a game.

A whole circle has passed in the blink of an eye.

Of the four of them, only the princess hadn't won a bet.

Tang Wen looked at her, and the princess's cool and beautiful face lost some of its composure. She snorted, "You're just a newbie, you're only lucky. You know there's a newbie protection system at the poker table? I'll let you win!"

Tang Wen shrugged, took a bite of the cantaloupe that Dong Xuan had brought him, and continued playing mahjong while rubbing the tiles together.

Another lap has passed.

He won once and drew two melds.

Huang Xiaoming and Liu Huan each received a share of the profits.

Tang Wen looked at the princess again, and there was something strange in her eyes.

Unable to bear his gaze, the princess blurted out, "Never heard of 'I'd rather die than win the first two laps'?"

Tang Wen looked at her with pity.

"Puch!"

Sitting behind her, Dong Xuan couldn't help but laugh, her shoulders shaking.

The concubine was furious: "Xuanzi, what are you laughing at? Are you laughing at me?"

Princess Wang is Dong Xuan's favorite female singer; she has been listening to Princess Wang's albums since she was a child.

Faced with her idol's questioning, she naturally refused to admit it, her fair face turning bright red: "No, Sister Fei, I didn't, Tang Wen was just lucky!"

"You really think so?"

Dong Xuan brought out the acting skills she had honed in Zhang Yimou's film crew: "Of course, I can feel your excellent strategy from your movements."

At the card table, Queen Wang was easy to please, perhaps because no one had ever praised her like that before. She immediately beamed with joy: "You're an expert, Xuanzi! Come on, sit behind me and let's win them all together."

Summoned by her idol, Dong Xuan carried a chair to the destination.

However, she wasn't good at mahjong, so she just watched and didn't dare to offer any advice.

He only occasionally fed the princess a piece of fruit.

The two sat together, and the princess's luck truly turned around.

After winning two hands in a row, she raised her snow-white chin at Tang Wen and said, "Nobody's allowed to leave! Tomorrow, if I win money from Tang the tycoon, I'll treat everyone to breakfast!"

"Sister Fei is mighty!"

They're all young people, at the age when they can really persevere.

Having finally seen Tang Wen, she didn't want to leave.

Even Liu Huan, the oldest among them, did not object.

Only Tang Wen sighed, "All night long?"

"You're not allowed to spoil the fun."

Tang Wen had no choice but to stay with him.

The game went on until the early hours of the morning. The princess had won a few times, but she had the fewest chips on the table. Yet she was still smug: "Old Tang, today I'll show you what it means to get fat first but not fat later and then crush the bed!"

Dong Xuan covered her mouth, her body trembling as if she were riding a horse.

Tang Wen glanced at the princess, wondering where his good brother's confidence came from.

After playing cards for so many years, haven't you realized your own skill level yet?
Playing mahjong is really fun; before I knew it, dawn had broken.

It was a little after five in the morning.

Last game.

The others put down their cards and came over to watch them play mahjong.

Huang Xiaoming and Liu Huan left the mahjong table, and Chen Kun and Tong Dawei took their place.

Tang Wen originally wanted to run away, but the princess grabbed his arm and he couldn't escape.

With the final game approaching, everyone rallied their spirits.

The princess looked at the chips on the table, now reduced to a mere sliver, her pretty face tense, desperate to win this round and save face.

Strangely enough, it seems like everyone has used up all their luck.

With only a few mahjong tiles left on the table, and the four players just reaching the winning hand, everyone played cautiously.

When it was the princess's turn, she muttered to herself, picked up the card and felt it with her fingertips for a while, and found that it was an East Wind card. Without thinking, she threw it out.

Tang Wen raised an eyebrow.

Chen Kun was surprised.

Tong Dawei laughed.

Then, the three of them looked at each other and simultaneously pushed the mahjong tiles in front of them.

One shot, three hits.

The princess was stunned.

All three are single-sided Dongfeng.

Tong Dawei: "Sister Fei, you still dare to use the East Wind at a time like this?"

Chen Kun: "I held the cards for three rounds, but I just didn't dare to play them, so I broke up the deck."

Tang Wen and Zhou Xun burst into laughter.

The princess glared at them, but the two men showed no respect and laughed loudly.

Chen Kun came to the rescue: "There's a good breakfast place in Tianjin over here, let's go grab some."

Breakfast stall.

Tang Wen ate a jianbing guozi (Chinese crepe), with a bowl of "gaba cai" (a type of Sichuan-style fried dough) in front of him. While drinking, he said to the princess, "Princess, you should be more careful in the future. With your mahjong skills, you shouldn't play anymore, or I'm afraid you won't have enough money to lose."

Everyone held back their laughter.

The princess got anxious, snatched his jianbing (Chinese crepe) away, and said fiercely, "You surnamed Tang, you can say I sing badly, but you can't slander my mahjong skills!"

Everyone couldn't hold back any longer and burst into laughter.
