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

Chapter 435 Even in the boundless parallel universe, it's impossible to arrange a meeting with Charlize Theron.

Einstein's analogy about relativity is widely known.

The audience, the host, and Hawking all thought it was a good question.

If one can come up with a good analogy, it might become widely known.

Amidst the expectant gazes of those around him, Hawking looked at the girl who had asked the question. Seeing her platinum blonde hair and aloof face, he subconsciously thought of Charlize Theron, a Hollywood actress he had been following closely recently.

Hmm, would it be easier to understand if we included this female celebrity in the answer?

The auditorium fell silent.

Hawking pondered for a moment, then tapped two fingers on the keyboard, the words transforming into a slightly cold, mechanical electronic sound:

"Even if there are countless parallel universes, each with different possibilities, there are some things that are almost impossible in all universes."

For example, even in an infinite parallel universe, you wouldn't possibly date Charlize Theron!

Charlize Theron?
An actress?

Does she deserve such high praise?

What works has she acted in?
There is no room for rational people to think seriously.

A burst of enthusiastic applause erupted in the auditorium!
"Thank you, Professor Hawking, for successfully making profound physics concepts vivid and interesting by incorporating such everyday topics! History will remember this day!" the host announced loudly.

'Remember this day?'

For some reason, upon hearing this, Hawking suddenly felt uneasy.

But once the words are spoken, they cannot be taken back.

Besides, there aren't many people here today...

Click, click, click!
Suddenly, several audience members stood up from their seats and started snapping photos of Hawking and the large screen behind him.

After taking the photos, someone went around to the front and took another picture of the girl who had asked the question.

It was then that Hawking noticed two cameras set up in the aisle: Hmm? Does such a simple speech really require such professional equipment? And two of them?
evening.

“Boss! This is the transcript of Hawking’s speech. He mentioned Charlize Theron at the end… Okay, I understand. I’ll deliver the video to her personally.”

That evening, Zhang Hongbing, who was in New York, watched the video and thought to himself that it was unbelievable.

Tang Wen arranged for him to film Hawking's speech in order to promote Charlize Theron, and he knew that.

But how did they do it?
There was no contact, no money spent, and no whispering or instigation from anyone close to Hawking...

He contacted Tang Wen to report the situation.

Tang Wen explained a few words to him. After all, it was a force he had secretly cultivated. How could it not work without online and offline coordination?
Zhang Hongbing then realized what was going on and said he would pay attention to recruiting and training hacker talent. He then couldn't help but sigh inwardly: "Director Tang shouldn't be a director; it's a waste of his talent. He'd be an excellent spy!"
I got the materials.

Tang Wen immediately instructed Robert to contact the media: "The reporting should proceed step by step. First, release text and photos to increase the heat of the event. Then, release the video after the Golden Globe nominees are announced."

“I understand,” Robert said. “I can’t help you online.”

"Okay," Tang Wen hung up the phone and called Zhang Yan, who was having a great time in Thailand.

The writing studio needs to adjust its work direction; for the next two months, it should heavily promote Charlize Theron and Scarlett Johansson.

Zhang Yan readily agreed; after all, a writer's daily job was to post online praising female celebrities.

It's just a matter of concentrating our firepower; it's not difficult at all.

After saying that, Zhang Yan added, "Old Tang, I have an idea. I want to start a business."

"Talk about it."

"How about starting an arms company overseas? Hire more people and organize a security force," Zhang Yan complained. "You don't know, I live in a villa in the suburbs, and lately I've been hearing gunshots a lot at night. It's a bit chaotic here."

Tang Wen: "Didn't we already have a security company?"

"How many guns does a security company even have?"

Tang Wen:......

However, on the other hand, things are different overseas than in China. Once the relationship between Facebook and himself is exposed, his net worth will increase further.

How can we manage without some people who are willing to fight and take risks?
Zhang Hongbing's men were in the shadows.

They didn't even know that they were the real boss.

If Zhang Yan recruits a group of people, he can openly and legitimately win people's hearts.

"Go for it. If you're going to do it, do it properly. First, do some research, see where the company will be located, and where to recruit staff."

Zhang Yan agreed, hung up the phone, pushed aside the two women beside him, and excitedly spun around in the bedroom.

A real man should be into arms dealing!
after one day.

From New York to Hollywood, and even in Europe, numerous newspapers have reported on the story.

[Entertainment Weekly: Hawking Confirms! A Mystery Even Parallel Universes Can't Solve: Nobody Can Date Charlize Theron?]

[The Hollywood Reporter: Stephen Hawking's startling statement: Charlize Theron is so beautiful that even a 'parallel universe' would close the door to her!]

The article was published as the front-page headline.

The article published a photo of Stephen Hawking giving a speech at New York University, with accompanying captions.

Readers were surprised: Is Charlize Theron really that charming?

Is she so beautiful that even a great scientist like Stephen Hawking admired her so much?

Many readers have taken notice of Theron.

Before this, Theron was not a prominent figure in Hollywood.

There are so many beautiful women here, the competition is too fierce.

European and German media outlets tend to be more rigorous.

"Even in an infinite parallel universe, you have no chance of dating Charlize Theron!"

Looking at the newspaper, the CAA partner silently repeated several times, "F**K! This idea is brilliant! It's fucking genius! Who came up with this?"

"It wasn't one of our people; it was probably Director Tang Wen who made the move."

The CAA partner glanced at his subordinate: "I know it wasn't you, but how did you manage to do this? Did Hawking also take money on the side?"

"Well, I asked him about it. Hawking's assistant told me that it was just a spontaneous remark! Hawking doesn't accept these kinds of commercial promotional activities."

"Speaking from the heart?" The CAA partner emphasized, raising his voice eight octaves.

The agent shrugged: "That's true. Hawking has never even met Theron. And Theron has been on set during the day and at director Tang Wen's villa at night these days."

"So! It's Tang Wen?" This was an expected answer.

He picked up the newspaper on the table and looked through it, finding it increasingly unbelievable.

Should scientists be used to promote female celebrities?

They chose Stephen Hawking, who was the most famous and had a strong will despite his disability.

The promotional effect will definitely reach a new level!

If Charlize Theron also wins this year's Oscar for Best Actress, the two combined... wow—

Charlize Theron should at least jump straight to A-list actress, right?

If the box office of the commercial film she's currently starring in brings another surprise.

A club with 20 million members isn't out of the question.

This film was directed by Tang Wen and starred Leonardo DiCaprio. Tang Wen has never had a box office failure, and Leonardo DiCaprio is known for his excellent script selection.

Therefore, this show has a good chance of becoming a hit.

The future looks very bright!

"Could this news be a coincidence?" a CAA agent speculated.

"coincide?!"

The CAA partner stared wide-eyed. He wasn't that naive; what kind of perfect coincidence could there be in the world?
"Use your brain! Last time we met, Director Tang said he would help Theron increase her reputation. She's currently preparing for an awards contest. What a coincidence! Is this some kind of pie falling from the sky?"
Contact Tang immediately and ask if he needs our help with this 'Hawking' news."

The call was made, and the person who answered was a woman with a gentle voice.

After a short wait, Tang Wen agreed to the proposal and sent over the publicity plan. Also sent was a video of Stephen Hawking's speech.

With this, CAA had no further doubts.

They actively contacted television stations they frequently collaborated with, preparing to broadcast the news at an appropriate time to boost its popularity.

Some are happy, some are sad.

Actresses vying for this year's Oscars are anything but happy to see Stephen Hawking supporting Charlize Theron.

Facebook discovered from its monitoring backend data that news articles about Theron saw a significant increase in views.

Judging from the trend, it is still heating up.

When the preview screenings of "Monster" began, people compared Charlize Theron's beautiful photos on the internet with the female character in the movie.

You'll then know how much sacrifice she made!
Tang Wenhe's team will capitalize on this by marketing his "disruptive" and "disfiguring" acting skills.

With a good reputation and generous public relations, you're bound to win awards.

Speaking of public relations, it happens on the busiest weekday mornings.

Tang Wen invited the college director, Bruce Davis, to play golf at a secluded golf course.

It was Monday morning.

There was almost no one on the field.

The two played ball and chatted.

When Bruce Davis asked Don Wen who he thought would be nominated or win an award.

Tang Wen knew it was time to make a request: "Charlize Theron, I hope she can win Best Actress."

Bruce smiled and said, "I heard she gained dozens of pounds, shaved off her eyebrows, and completely ruined her former 'pretty face' image! She definitely deserves a nomination."

Tang Wen thought to himself that his recent public relations efforts had not been in vain.

The Oscars, too, have rules to follow.

Therefore, Theron is definitely nominated.

They made such a huge sacrifice, making a niche film, all for the sake of winning an award.

If they don't even give it a nomination, the Oscars are probably doomed sooner or later.

Tang Wen echoed a few words, awaiting his next words.

“But,” Bruce Davis shook his head, “the competition is fierce this year, with many strong films and actresses. It’s really hard to say whether Theron will win.”

This was within Tang Wen's expectations.

Public relations, you know!
One party sets the price, and the other party pays.

The game is over.

The two rested for a while, each took a glass of water, and sat down.

Tang Wen dismissed the staff, looked into the distance, and asked meaningfully, "You know my goal. Tell me, how many strokes do I need to make to get a hole-in-one this round?"

Bruce's heart skipped a beat. After a moment's thought, he calmly said, "Don, you're actually a beginner. I think it might take you dozens of strokes to get there."

Dozens of strokes?
Hundreds of thousands of dollars?

Idiot!
Promoting actresses earns cash back, and winning awards completes the task; Charlize Theron is destined to win an award.

However, Bruce Davis is just one of the big names in the academic school.

After dealing with him, I still need to deal with the others.

Tang Wen asked, "My friend, how was the golf club I gave you last time?"

Bruce couldn't help but smile as he thought of that golden golf club: "Of course, my friend."

"You can't have a cue without a ball, can you? Someone's coming to visit you tonight."

"Send the ball?"

"Yes."

Bruce's face was beaming with a smile he couldn't suppress: "Don, it was really fun playing with you!"

The two resumed their game, and after finishing, Bruce gave up his last shot.

Tang Wen didn't stand on ceremony; he gently pushed the ball with his club and sank it in one shot.

Bruce clapped and said, "Don, 50 strokes, you've reached your goal!"

Tang Wen extended his hand and shook hands with him: "Yes, 50 strokes."

That night.

Two Asian repairmen, dressed in uniforms and carrying ladders, arrived at the villa in the suburbs of Bruce.

"You've come at the right time. Come and see, the light in my basement collection room isn't working." Bruce's eyes were filled with satisfaction; Tang Wen was indeed meticulous in his work.

With the Oscars season underway, Bruce, as a high-ranking executive, is under constant scrutiny from paparazzi and reporters.

These people want to seize on news of his improper dealings with the film company.

Bruce had to be on guard.

Someone was assigned to guard the gate. Two repairmen put down their tool bags and took out golden spheres from them:

"The price you quoted could make forty-seven standard golf balls, but there are fifty in total. The extra three are free!"

Bruce picked up two balls, tossed them in his hand, and said decisively, "Go back and tell him we'll always be friends! The gold ball will definitely go in!"

To make the performance more convincing, the two repairmen stayed for another ten minutes or so before leaving through the main entrance.

Watching them leave, Bruce thought to himself: Although Harvey Weinstein is gone, Don has joined the game!
He is more generous and reliable than Harvey!
Before Halloween.

The premiere of "Saw 3" was held.

This time, the ceremony was of a very high standard.

To thank all the friends in the industry who came to support us.

Galaxy Entertainment prepared exquisite gifts for each guest.

At the same time, they openly sent invitations to influential figures in the Oscar voting.

Oscar rules stipulate that judges are not allowed to attend any dinners or parties where they are interested in campaigning for votes.

But Tang Wen is hosting a normal premiere, wouldn't it be inappropriate not to attend?
Besides, the invitations they sent had gold-colored inner pages.

It's clear from the first glance that it's quite valuable. With such a sincere invitation, how could I not come?
"Mr. Tang, the invitations have all been sent. The people you specifically invited will all be there tonight."

"Okay, sure," Tang Wen looked up from the screen and at Ivanka, who had been working there for several days: "You should be able to leave work by now."

“No, I want to go with you.” Ivanka smiled sweetly: “How can I rest when the chairman isn’t off work?”

"Bring a few more people with you, and ignore any drunkards you encounter."

Tonight's party features many male and female models serving as waiters.

Ivanka is very beautiful and has a great figure. Since no one knows her, she is easily mistaken for someone you can take upstairs.

The cannons fired, and colorful ribbons fluttered in the air.

Reporters lined both sides of the red carpet, their cameras and microphones aimed at the guests.

One by one, celebrities, directors, and producers calmly stepped onto the red carpet and headed to the autograph wall.

Guests who were not comfortable showing themselves entered the hotel early through a side entrance.

Tang Wen made his grand finale appearance.

Reporters swarmed around, bombarding them with questions that were within the normal range.

But someone wanted to stir up a big story: "Director Tang, you're holding such a grand premiere before the Oscars! Is there something you're after in terms of awards?"

"Of course!" Tang Wen replied loudly without blinking.

The reporter got excited: Was he about to reveal his affair? The whole of America knew about his rumored relationship with Theron…

Tang Wen: "I support Johnny Depp!"
