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

Chapter 396 Yu Feihong: In a hurry, please speed up.

"Oppa, when are we going to meet again?"

"Turn your head around."

"Hmm?" Lee Hyori did as she was told.

"Twist it back!"

Lee Hyori turned her head, her eyes filled with confusion.

"Look, we've met again, haven't we?"

"Oppa!" The voice was particularly loud.

Tang Wen smiled and kissed her red lips. After they parted, he said, "You can come to see me anytime you have time."

"Really?" Lee Hyori wrapped her arms around his neck, her beautiful eyes shining.

"Of course." Tang Wen placed his hands on her waist, feeling the unparalleled sensation of her slender waist.

I really appreciate the aesthetic sense of South Korean conglomerates.

I wonder if there's any chance I could acquire some shares in a South Korean conglomerate to exert greater influence over their entertainment industry.

He has a strong impression of two South Korean girl groups.

One is the famous girl group, cough, Girls' Generation.

The other one is "T-ara", the girl group Crown.

There are so many girl groups in South Korea, surely you could send me two, right?

Lee Hyori sat on his lap and began to dance.

They attempted to inspire Tang Wen with a series of new stimuli.

To be honest, she should have gone back to South Korea a long time ago, but because Tang Wen insisted on not letting her go, she was delayed for another week.

"Oppa, the song you wrote for me is..."

"Shh~ Oppa will feed you something else first."

Lee Hyori skillfully tied up her hair without the slightest reluctance.

"Speaking of the song I wrote for you, it's also a dance track, but it needs to be differentiated from '10 Minutes,' otherwise the audience will easily get tired of it..."

Tang Wen spoke haltingly.

The Korean dance queen put on an even more energetic performance.

So much so that he started to feel smug.

"Your current dance style is a mix of power jazz and trendy retro dance music."

As they talked, Tang Wen had already decided what song to write for her.

"If it were a sexy Latin style, could you pull it off?"

"Yes, mmm mmm"

"Don't talk while you're eating."

Lee Hyori tilted her head back and blinked repeatedly, signaling to herself with her eyes that she could.

"That's no problem."

"10 Minutes" has a significant impact, and even after 2020, it was still adapted into fat-burning music by some fitness broadcasters.

There was another Korean song of similar quality and influence from the same period.

Cai Yan's "Two People" is a fusion of pop and electronic dance music.

Released at the end of 2004, it also became a hit in Asia.

"Oppa, have you had enough inspiration?"

"Don't say these things in a childish way."

Lee Hyori went into the bathroom, washed up, and looked at the marks on her chest, hesitating whether to take a shower.

Tang Wen walked in carrying a bottle of red wine: "I'd like to offer you a drink."

"Okay"

Then, he took off his coat and poured red wine on himself...

The next day.

Lee Hyori lay on the bed, unable to get up, half asleep.

Once I fall asleep, if I accidentally turn over, I will wake up feeling uncomfortable.

I woke up hungry, and it was already evening.

"Oppa~" She came out of the living room and saw Tang Wen, her voice full of grievance.

Tang Wen saw her come out of the bedroom and smiled as he pressed the play button for the music.

Na NaNaNa NaNaNaNaNaNa
"

"This is?"

Lee Hyori's aggrieved voice turned into one of surprise and delight.

The demo that Tang Wen hummed himself.

She listened to it a few times and then started singing along.

However, she is known for her dancing skills, and her singing skills are just so-so.

Many details still require Tang Wen to personally guide and explain them.

Parting is imminent.

Tang Wen no longer showed any mercy to women.

For two nights in a row, Lee Hyori didn't know how she got through them.

"buzzing"

Mobile phone vibration.

On the back of the Korean dancer, her delicate, wheat-colored skin was covered with a fine layer of sweat. Tang Wen picked up a towel and wiped it off for her.

Press the call button.

"I'm in Hong Kong. I'll be there in half an hour. It's the Peninsula Hotel, right?" Aunt Yu's voice came through the phone.

"Come quickly, there's a surprise."

"Pah!" Yu Feihong's heart was filled with turmoil.

"Pah! Aren't you hungry after flying all this way?"

"Eating?" Yu Feihong was inevitably disappointed, but the next second she realized she had spoken out of turn and quickly shut her mouth.

Tang Wen laughed: "What do you think?"

"Hmph! If I go over there now, it won't interfere with your private time with your Korean sweetheart, will it?"

Tang Wen said something in Korean.

Yu Feihong: "That's quite well said. When did you learn that?"

Director Tang gave an irrelevant answer, saying in a panicked tone, "Mr. Yu, my girlfriend is home. Can she not come to see me tonight?"

"Beep beep beep..." Yu Feihong hung up the phone immediately, glanced at her watch, and looked up at her assistant: "I'm in a hurry, speed up the car."

Yu Feihong came here on important business.

With the help of professional screenwriters on Blue Star, the script for "Letter from an Unknown Woman" was completed.

She came over for two reasons: first, to let Tang Wen see the script.

Secondly, there were some issues with the female lead.

Yu Feihong originally intended to emulate Tang Wei by directing and starring in his own film.

Although she is not young, she does not look old.

However, after dressing up as a young female student, she found that her appearance wasn't very helpful.

She is a dignified and elegant beauty.

Trying to look young doesn't quite work.

Those beautiful eyes became the biggest problem.

Yu Feihong's eyes revealed a sense of clarity and intellect.

He appears calm and wise.

She doesn't look like a young female student at all.

Yu Feihong is unlike some actresses who insist on playing young girls even when they are quite old.

After thinking about it, I decided to give up on directing and acting myself.

This time, besides asking about the script, I also wanted Tang Wen to decide on the female lead.

"Ding Dong"

The doorbell rings.

A few seconds later, the door opened halfway, and a large hand reached out, grabbed Yu Feihong's arm, and pulled her and her suitcase into the room.

"Ah, ah, ah."

"Mr. Yu, my girlfriend just went to sleep."

Yu Feihong cursed him under her breath, but her heart was pounding uncontrollably.

She wanted to refuse to play, but she was afraid that if she didn't cooperate, Tang Wen would never ask her to play again.

Besides, if I don't cooperate, this rascal will definitely make things difficult for me on important matters.

I was forced into it.

For the sake of the movie, I had no choice but to go through the motions.

"Ahem," she cleared her throat, trying to adopt an air of superiority, raising her snow-white chin, and inexplicably calling out, "Wen'er~"

Director Tang, who possesses master-level acting skills, suddenly widened his eyes and almost lost his composure on the spot: Okay, okay, you're still the pervert!

Yu Feihong herself was also surprised, and cursed inwardly for being infected by Tang Wen's perversion.

She tried her best to maintain her persona, pulling Tang Wen to sit down on the sofa, crossing her legs, and holding Tang Wen's hand:
"Xiao Tang, you're still young, you should focus on your career. Your girlfriend is in South Korea, she probably doesn't earn much money a month, right?"

"Hmm." Tang Wen lowered his head, secretly admiring how professional his older sister was.

It was definitely the right decision to cast her as director.

"I've come to see you because I have a movie for you."

"Huh?" Tang Wen looked up, his eyes filled with interest.

Sister Yu got into character and gently patted Tang Wen's slender hand: "You've never played the second male lead before, have you?" "No, I haven't."

Director Tang has only ever played the male lead.

"This show is funded by Blue Star and is of high quality. With your looks, you'll definitely become famous if you act in it..."

After saying this, Yu Feihong's hand had already moved to Tang Wen's thigh, her eyes full of implications.

Tang Wen couldn't resist: "I... let's go outside, okay? My girlfriend is sleeping inside."

It would have been better if he hadn't said anything, because as soon as he did, Yu Feihong couldn't help but swallow hard. She mustered up her courage and pulled him up: "Speaking of which, I've never met your girlfriend before."

"Ah, this"

She kicked off her high heels, grabbed Tang Wen's hand, and headed towards the bedroom.

"There's no ventilation inside, and it smells bad."

Yu Feihong felt her cheeks burning: "Don't be afraid, I've seen it all!"

Tang Wen: No, I have a feeling that you've awakened some incredible attribute?
In a daze, Lee Hyori felt like she was having a dream.

I dreamt that I was sitting in a small boat rocking on the sea.

Everything was perfect at first.

I and my oppa are boating on the sea.

But suddenly, a strange woman's voice rang out.

She searched warily, finally realizing it was the bad woman who had boarded the boat, and she suddenly woke up: "Oppa?"

"Hmm, would you like some water?"

"No."

"Then go to sleep." The voice was subdued.

Lee Hyori was too tired and fell into a deep sleep again...

Hong Kong, airport.

"Oppa, I'll miss you."

"In a couple of days, I will send a team of bodyguards to take care of you."

"what?"

“I’m here to negotiate with your company. These two bodyguards are American citizens, and they should be able to help you avoid a lot of trouble.”

"Thank you, Oppa!" Lee Hyori hugged Tang Wen tightly around the waist, buried her head in his broad chest, and greedily inhaled his breath.

"By the way, you should study English properly when you have free time."

Galaxy Entertainment North America held a script competition.

Among the received materials were not only movie scripts, but also some American TV series scripts.

In the future, Lee Hyori and others could play important supporting roles in American TV series.

Back in South Korea, praising international stars won't be a problem.

On the day Lee Hyori left, Yu Feihong openly appeared on set.

He sat in Lee Hyori's usual spot.

When the crew saw a sexy young beauty leave, a sophisticated and mature beauty immediately arrived.

They all cast admiring and envious glances at Director Tang.

Yu Feihong didn't care about any of that; she was focused on watching Tang Wen film, hoping to learn something.

Unlike the semi-free-range approach taken towards Ning Hao and others.

Tang Wen taught Yu Feihong step by step.

However, the teaching results were also poor.

Both of them have rich imaginations.

The drama between teachers and students keeps repeating itself...

Before we knew it, after the first season of The Outlaws finished filming, the second season was one-third complete.

Yu Feihong stayed for a week, but in the following days, she was too exhausted to appear on set.

I've been catching up on sleep all day.

That night, he cursed Tang Wen as an animal.

A week later, her face was rosy, but her waist and knees ached.

"I gotta go!"

Unable to cope, Sister Yu packed her suitcase and ran away overnight.

"Where are you going? The female lead for the movie hasn't been decided yet! How can you leave?"

Yu Feihong was understanding and at the age when she was full of energy, and she could still cook delicious home-style dishes for him. Tang Wen really didn't want her to leave.

Sister Yu spat out, "Why do you think that is?"

Even the best land can't be plowed every day by a tracked tractor with a nuclear-powered 24-cylinder engine.

August is already halfway over.

Tang Wenlai was invited to be a judge for the Golden Lion Awards, but he politely declined.

Once the story was reported, it attracted interviews from Hong Kong media, bringing another wave of buzz to the film.

Tang Wen will not be a judge, but he will participate in the Venice Film Festival.

Scarlett Johansson's "Lost in Translation," a beloved American film, has been selected for the Upstream section of the Venice Film Festival.

As the name suggests, the "countercurrent unit" is one that opposes the mainstream.

We don't pursue commercialization or big-name actors.

It places greater emphasis on the aesthetics and atmosphere of the film, and has a certain degree of innovation and avant-garde nature.

Of course, Tang Wen didn't believe a word of this explanation.

Perhaps, in the early days of the Golden Lion Awards, they were indeed able to stay true to their original aspirations.

Over the years, the rules of the game at film festivals have completely changed.

For example, when "Lost in Translation" was nominated for awards, Tang Wen provided the money as the film's investor, while the Coppola family provided the connections.

With their family's influence in Italy, coupled with a dollar offensive.

Although the Golden Lion Awards have not yet opened, Scarlett Johansson is almost certain to win the Best Actress award in the "Upstream" section.

Tang Wen was going to witness Scarlett's moment, and he also agreed to be an award presenter for the organizers.

"Mr. Tang, Disney has sent you an invitation to attend the celebration party for 'Pirates of the Caribbean'."

"no problem."

After nearly a month of global release.

The Caribbean added $2.4 million to the box office.

The film grossed a staggering $7.4 million worldwide, surpassing the original timeline's final box office of $6.54 million.

Of these, North America accounted for over $3.1 million.

Currently, it remains firmly in the top five in terms of movie popularity.

This is higher than the final box office of the original timeline, not to mention it's still showing in theaters.

Pirates of the Caribbean has a good attendance rate, and neither Disney nor movie theaters are willing to give up this cash cow.

It's estimated that it will be shown for another month or so.

Overseas box office revenue did not decline significantly, and the long tail effect of the film was formed.

Hollywood Entertainment Magazine reports that Tang Wen has created a new miracle!

The success of the big-budget production means that he has completely shed his identity as a horror film director and joined the ranks of top-tier directors.

If the next one is successful.

Tang Wen is poised to become a top-tier Hollywood director…

The total box office figures for "Pirates of the Caribbean" came from Hollywood.

It's not just the domestic audience who are amazed.

In the entertainment industries of Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia, Tang Wen's name is mentioned with the same tone of admiration.

With Tang Wenren in Hong Kong, people from all walks of life in Hong Kong are starting to get restless.

Several families with businesses involved in the entertainment industry sent invitations to Tang Wen to attend the banquet.

Tang Wen was short on time, filming during the day and editing videos at night.

There's simply no time for it.

I had no choice but to call and politely decline in person.

This is where his net worth comes into play.

If he were just a director, even with the same level of success, such a lack of respect would likely have drawn severe criticism from the Hong Kong media.

Hong Kong media have a very conflicted attitude towards Hong Kong's elite families.

On the one hand, they can criticize and relentlessly report on the scandals of wealthy families.

However, if outsiders have conflicts with local wealthy families, or fail to give face to them.

They would then mock this outsider.

Tang Wenbutong has been hailed by Hong Kong media as the youngest billionaire!

Compared to the prominent families in Hong Kong, their heritage may be somewhat lacking.

But the two are definitely on the same level.

Tang Wen's decision not to attend the banquet but to call and explain the situation was a gesture of respect to the other party.

The news that "Tang Wen is hard to invite" was exposed by someone with ulterior motives.

Instead of accusing Tang Wen of being arrogant, most Hong Kong media outlets cleverly praised him for being "dedicated to his job."

"No wonder he's built such a huge fortune at such a young age; he's far better than those second-generation rich kids in Hong Kong who only know how to date young models."

Meanwhile, the media didn't forget to fan the flames, speculating which company had the most influence and could get Tang Wen to come first.

Shortly after the news was reported.

The person who could persuade Tang Wen has arrived—Cheng Long came to visit the film crew.
