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

Chapter 398 Her thinking is too conservative!

Cheng Long is chatting with Mrs. Xiang.

Upon seeing Tang Wen enter, he apologized and brought along the actresses from "The Medallion" to greet him.

"Zu Xian, it's been a long time. Director Tang, let me introduce you, this is Zhong Liti."

Christy Chung wore a black strapless dress with a high slit that reached her thighs, revealing glimpses of her fair skin as she walked.

This is an actress who sacrificed herself for art.

Tang Wen said with a smile, "So many big names are here today, I'm dazzled."

“Hey,” Chenglong waved his hand, “They’re just giving Mr. Yang face.”

After saying that, he looked around and joked with Tang Wen, "Besides, probably half of the people here are here to see you."

There were quite a few people present today.

Most of those staring at Tang Wen were female celebrities and models.

Their eyes, some fiery, some bold...

Few are uninterested in Tang literature.

The Hong Kong entertainment industry and the circle of the wealthy are very close.

While not every female celebrity wants to marry into a wealthy family, Tang Wen is no ordinary tycoon.

A Hollywood director, a mainland entertainment mogul, more handsome than the Four Heavenly Kings, young, talented, and generous!

She's practically my dream girl, isn't she?
Who wouldn't be tempted?
His generosity can be seen in Wang Zuxian, who is standing next to him.

Wang Zuxian was originally going to retire from the entertainment industry, but he personally wrote songs, released two albums, and added an "Infernal Affairs" series, which almost made Wang Zuxian the number one star in Hong Kong!

She wasn't this popular even at her peak.

In addition to his other rumored girlfriends, which were also dug up by the Hong Kong media, all of whom he was heavily promoted with money and resources.

You could say that as long as you get close to them, you won't suffer any losses.

Seeing Tang Wen's face today, they are even more convinced of this.

Even just getting some sleep is a bonus.

In this situation, why not give it a try?
After parting ways with Cheng Long, Zhong Liti's gaze lingered on Tang Wen's back for a while.

Wang Zuxian took Tang Wen's arm and quickened her pace, wanting to say hello to Yang Shoucheng as soon as possible, chat with a few old friends, and then leave.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned, and the first person to block the way appeared on the road—Li Jiaxin.

Wang Zuxian couldn't help but glare at her.

The woman, who was determined to marry into a wealthy family, smiled at her best friend and generously opened her arms: "Director Tang, it's been a long time."

"Jiaxin is even more beautiful now."

Wang Zuxian released Tang Wen's hand, which she was holding, and watched them hug.

Li Jiaxin's beauty has only recently faded from its peak; she is still a great beauty.

When she was with Tang Wen, her charming smile radiated captivating allure.

Judging from their looks, the two are quite a good match.

The three chatted and laughed for a few minutes when a middle-aged man wearing glasses walked over hurriedly.

Although he managed to conceal it reasonably well, a hint of hostility and tension inevitably showed in his eyes when he looked at Tang Wen.

It seems they were worried that something might happen between Tang Wen and Li Jiaxin.

"Darling, Miss Zuxian, this must be Director Tang."

"Hello, Mr. Xu."

Tang Wen knew Xu Jinheng, the grandson of the shipping magnate.

Born with a silver spoon in his mouth, he is a womanizer.

Not counting nameless models and actresses, Liu Jialing, Li Zi, and Chen Farong all had formal relationships with him.

It is said that Chen Farong was just ousted by Li Jiaxin.

It can only be said that Hong Kong has a small base and a small population, so its best resources are too concentrated.

He later did marry Michelle Reis, but the old shipping magnate seemed very uneasy about them.

According to Hong Kong director Wong Jing, the HK$420 billion estate of the former shipping magnate has been placed in a trust, with the couple's children as the heirs.

The couple receives HK$200 million per month for living expenses.

For an average person, 200 million yuan is more than enough to spend in a month.

However, for Xu Jinheng and Li Jiaxin, this amount of money is not enough to buy a bag.

After Michelle Reis left, Carina Lau and Tony Leung came over.

Then there's Zhang Baizhi, who's single again. Despite the pressure from Wang Zuxian, she happily exchanged contact information with Tang Wen, saying that she would definitely visit Director Tang when she got to Beijing.

TVB's leading lady, Charmaine Sheh, was much more gentle in her demeanor, and her words were full of envy for Joey Wong, hoping that Joey would have more opportunities to take care of her.

After she left, Wang Zuxian felt a little better, and then Guan Zhilin arrived.

At 40, Rosamund Kwan is like a ripe peach, exuding a fatal allure.

Tang Wen's eyes were full of admiration, and he secretly sighed that even an old Bentley is still a Bentley.

Unfortunately, previous users frequently drove recklessly, crossing mountains and rivers.

Thinking of this, the beautiful feeling in my heart dissipated, my hand clenched and then loosened, my smile was polite and calm.

Women are more sensitive in this regard. Guan Zhilin noticed that Tang Wen's attitude was indifferent and that her focus was no longer on her career. After exchanging contact information, she said goodbye.

But the beauties kept coming in droves: Zhang Min, Xu Zishan, Zhang Shuya...

Wang Zuxian's face was frozen from smiling.

He cursed inwardly that these women used the same trick: they would first exchange a few polite words with him, and then turn to Tang Wen.

The old man's intentions are quite clear.

Fortunately, with him by her side, these women were ultimately unable to directly cling to Tang Wen and get close to him.

Otherwise, judging from Wen Di's performance, she felt that quite a few people might be taken away tonight.

For example: Zhang Min, Zhou Huimin, um, isn't Zhao Yazhi too old?

And they got married.

They're all veteran Hong Kong stars.

He rose to fame in the 80s and 90s.

Wang Zuxian recalled being persuaded by Tang Wen to wear a theatrical costume and play Nie Xiaoqian.

So, does that mean Christy Chung also has a chance?

She acted in adult films while abroad.

My younger brother still has a youthful, idealized view of them.

Of course, that includes myself.

However, there are still a few costumes at home...

Wang Zuxian quietly turned around and glanced at the bodyguard following behind her.

The latter stood beside the two, faithfully using a hidden camera to record the behavior of a group of female stars and models when they came to Tang Wen for social events.

Wang Zuxian was somewhat dissatisfied with Tang Wen's women.

Having taken Wen Di's resources and enjoying numerous benefits, how can they not scramble to curry favor with him?

If you can do it, then do it; if you can't, there are plenty of people lining up outside.

It must be said that Wang Zuxian's thinking is too traditional and conservative.

However, considering that Hong Kong only abolished the legality of concubinage in the 70s, her thoughts are understandable.

From near the entrance to where Yang Shoucheng was located in the middle of the banquet hall, it was only a few dozen meters.

Wang Zuxian, however, felt that the time was exceptionally long.

Why does it seem like all the female celebrities in Hong Kong have come?

Just as Yang Shoucheng was within reach, another beautiful woman from Taiwan jumped out, her sexy lips immediately catching the eye.

Wang Zuxian secretly observed Tang Wen, and sure enough, Wen Di knew how to appreciate beauty; his gaze inadvertently fell on the beauty's red lips.

After seeing Shuqi off.

Yang Shoucheng's side also finished a round of socializing.

Since they were acquaintances, there was no excessive formality.

After chatting for a few minutes and agreeing to have dinner another day, Tang Wen and Wang Zuxian said their goodbyes.

That evening, Wang Zuxian reprised her role as Nie Xiaoqian in white.

Her demeanor has lost some of its former aloofness and gained more tenderness and sensitivity. "Sister Xian, next time we meet, I want to go on a date with the White Snake." Wang Zuxian's portrayal of the White Snake is also a classic role.

The beautiful ghost "Nie Xiaoqian" did not refuse. After catching her breath, she said, "I'll have the clothes made later, but little brother, how many girls are around you? Can you tell me?"

Tang Wen didn't speak.

Wang Zuxian lifted her head from his embrace and advised, "Don't you trust me? Are you afraid I'll cause them trouble?"

"Sister Xian, don't talk, I just counted to 103..."

"You~"

Even though Wang Zuxian was gentle and magnanimous, she was amused by his antics and pinched him, saying, "If there really are 103, I'll have to implement a survival of the fittest system for you and fire half of them first."

Hearing this, Tang Wen was somewhat surprised, but he also understood what she wanted to do.

Is this a way for me to sort out the relationships around me?

I must say, she's actually quite suitable for the job.

Firstly, she has a high reputation and status, and secondly, she is somewhat "indulgent" towards herself.

"Of course not that many." Although he said that, Tang Wen tightened his arms around her, suddenly feeling a little embarrassed to speak.

Wang Zuxian smiled silently and reached out to stroke his cheek.

The thoughtful older sister, not wanting to put him in a difficult position, took the initiative to name everyone, including some she hadn't met but whose names she knew online.

Tang Wen didn't know whether to be surprised or moved first.

It's perfectly normal for Wang Zuxian to know Dong Xuan, Li Xiaoran, Fan Bingbing, Tang Wei, Gao Yuanyuan...

It was no surprise that Yu Feihong, Jia Jingwen, Chen... were among the names.

But Zeng Li, she actually knew that too.

"I love you to death, sis."

"Stop trying to fool me." Wang Zuxian's lips curved into a smile. Perhaps because there were too many names and she spoke too fast, reciting names like reciting a menu, she didn't even have time to feel sad.

"But a few are missing."

"How many?! Cough, you say." Wang Zuxian's tone rose, but she quickly regained her composure and returned to calm.

"Hu Jing".

"Zeng Li's classmate? One of the eight beauties of the Central Academy of Drama, aren't they best friends?" Wang Zuxian had indeed put in the effort to learn about the women around him.

"It won't cause any delay."

Wang Zuxian said solemnly, "Won't it cause any trouble? Little brother, sometimes you can't be all things to all people! A woman's intuition is still somewhat useful in this regard. A woman's jealousy can be terrifying..."

Tang Wen grasped her hand, his face flushing slightly: "Sister, they know each other."

"Huh?" Wang Zuxian's red lips couldn't close.

After a while, he continued to ask the remaining people.

Tang Wen sweetly called out "Sister", then said, "If you have some free time, you can chat with Jia Jingwen. I'll let her know in advance."

"They're all from her side?"

"Well, you can't say that."

"Okay, this can't be rushed. I don't know many of these people, so I need to get to know them first..."

Tang Wen was deeply moved: "In ancient times, you would be no less than an empress."

"Please spare me, you really need to take care of your health, okay? From now on, you have to have a full physical exam with me twice a year."

These words make her sound even more like an empress.

After Wang Zuxian left.

Tang Wen had no more opportunity to use his energy.

That means it can only be used in film production.

Under his leadership, the entire crew of "The Outlaws 2" demonstrated the spirit of "voluntarily working overtime," "staying up all night to film," and "voluntarily working 996."

Filming is progressing rapidly.

Filming wrapped up a few days ahead of schedule.

Tang Wen invited a famous Hong Kong culinary team to the hotel where the film crew was staying to hold a wrap party.

It's not about saving money, but mainly about making sure everyone has a good drink.

After drinking at another restaurant, they still want to come back to sleep.

The food and drinks here are great. If you get too drunk, you can just take the elevator, open the door, and fall asleep. Isn't that better than outside?

A whole truckload of beer, foreign liquor, white wine, and red wine arrived, and the entire crew cheered when they saw it.

Not everyone likes to drink.

Rather, they simply felt the festive atmosphere and were happy.

Wu Jing, holding Fei Xiang's hand, and Chen Minghao, who had just returned, were determined to get Tang Wen drunk.

Zhang Jin and Ning Hao also expressed their agreement.

Although Tang Wen wasn't afraid, he had no desire to drink when faced with a group of men.

So he came up with a plan. Before raising his glass, he announced, "Everyone, drink more. I'll drink less. It's not that I don't want to keep you company, but I need to calculate everyone's bonuses tomorrow. They should be in my account by the end of the month at the earliest. If anyone tries to get me drunk, don't blame me if the bonuses are paid late."

Wu Jing and several assistant directors and lead actors didn't care about the bonus, but the stuntmen and ordinary staff did.

So, upon seeing that they wanted to teach Tang Dynasty literature.

These seasoned veterans from the martial arts world led a group of men to intercept them, saying things like, "You're good at instructing on martial arts moves, but you can't hold your liquor."

How could Wu Jing possibly resist such provocation?
Even if you know it's a trap, you still have to step into it!
Zhang Jin was also brought along.

The stuntmen didn't mince words with the lead actors, including Fei Xiang and Chen Minghao, saying things like, "Thank you for your patronage. We've never met such an easy-going lead actor before..."

After showering him with praise, he raised his glass and downed it in one gulp.

The method is direct, but you can't refuse to drink it.

These guys who wanted to get Tang Wen drunk strayed from their original intentions and ended up fighting alongside the martial arts troupe.

Tang Wen had a few drinks with everyone, arranged for people to wrap up the banquet, settled everyone in, and then left first.

He really has important business to attend to tomorrow.

"Infernal Affairs 3" has been in theaters for over a month and is currently in a state of delayed release.

He needed to rush back to the capital to hold a victory celebration banquet.

However, the celebration banquet is the night after tomorrow.

As for tomorrow, he will transit through Jiangnan and deliver the signed sample copy of "The Ming Dynasty 1566" to his superiors.

I'll also take this opportunity to check on the progress of the Jiangnan CBD project.

If I have the chance, I'd like to have dinner at the provincial capital of Jiangnan.

An airplane wing slices through the deep blue night sky.

Tang Wen landed at Jiangnan Airport.

As I stepped off the gangway, a Rolls-Royce Silver Seraph and several black Mercedes-Benz G-Class cars were already waiting on the tarmac.

He and his team chartered a plane to return this time, and he also had an extremely close network of acquaintances in Jiangnan Province.

Charter service providers have specifically added this "VIP pick-up and drop-off" service.

When the service was approved, the airport saw that the passenger was "Tang Wen" and quickly approved it.

Everything is going well in Jiangnan.

The leader was so happy to receive the signed copy that he uttered a few words of praise, which made him a little embarrassed.

After having a couple more drinks at the dinner table, I walked out of the compound and sat in the car, my mind filled with thoughts of what subject to copy or create next.
"Da Ming Dynasty 1566" sets such a high bar.

It wouldn't be appropriate if we couldn't produce good works in the future, would it?

Then we can only make things difficult for contemporary writers.

That evening, Tang Wei returned from the Hengdian film set.

The set construction for "House of Wax" is complete, and the wax figures are finished.

The crew has entered a tense filming phase.

As the producer, I am the actual controller of the production team.

Due to a series of issues such as creative concepts, script understanding, and cultural conflicts, she has had quite a few clashes with the director recently.

In the end, although she managed to suppress it all, she felt that this couldn't go on.

Besides relieving stress, I also wanted to ask Tang Wen what to do.
Meanwhile, after leaving Tang Wen's side and being busy for another week, Wang Zuxian finally had time to meet with Jia Jingwen.
