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

Chapter 197 What director can withstand such a test? (1)

"What's wrong?" Jia Jingwen looked up and asked.

Tang Wen let out a long breath and organized his words in his mind to show his nobleness: "I came from the mud but I am not stained by it, but the mud is higher than me!"

"Ok?"

Jia Jingwen's eyes were wide open, looking very cute.

After pondering over this, she tilted her head and said, "The mud was too high for you, so you didn't come out?"

"Shut up. There are bad people in your entertainment industry."

Jia Jingwen leaned lightly in his arms, her green fingers drawing circles on her chest: "Then how do you deal with the bad guys?"

"Let's use the stick to educate him!"

Jia Jingwen chuckled: "There really are bad people in the entertainment industry."

"Do you still want the role?" Tang Wen was dissatisfied and lowered his head to peck her red lips.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Jia Jingwen decisively admitted defeat.

"Okay, I'll give you three times later."

Jia Jingwen: Are the three times you mentioned serious?

Tang Wen picked up his phone and texted Li Xing back.

After all, he is a management talent that I have chosen, so I need to appease him:
【Learn more useful things from your sister Hua】

Li Xing was pleasantly surprised when he saw the text message.

I thought Tang Wen wouldn’t reply.

Even though it was a warning to herself, she knew that men often said one thing and meant another.

[Yeah, we live in...]

The address is detailed to the community and house number.

Tang Wen had a good memory and memorized the address the moment he saw it.

Damn this ice and snow world, isn’t this tempting people to commit a crime?

What kind of director can stand up to such a test?

[You should learn management and how to be a broker and improve your work ability. Then come back and switch jobs.]

Li Xing smiled: "Work ability? Can Director Tang take my two tricks seriously?"

So, he was indeed tempted.

[Li Xing: Yes, no problem. Director Tang, please contact me before you come tonight, and I will secretly open the door for you]

What a sneaky...

stimulate.

You and my aunt will definitely be able to chat together.

[Tang Wen: ...too busy at night]

Li Xing leaned back in his seat in frustration.

All of us sisters together can't compare to the short girl next to you?

Jia Jingwen is only 1 meters tall.

She is indeed very beautiful, but we, um, my sister is also very beautiful.

"what happened to you?"

After Wang Jinhua got off the car, Li Bingqiao noticed that something was wrong with her sister.

Li Xing thought about it and threw the phone directly to his sister.

After reading it, Li Bingqiao was so angry that his hair stood on end. He grabbed his sister's ear and scolded her, "What are you thinking about all day? If I have to take this shortcut, I'll take it alone! You better look at the long-term!"

Li Xing covered her ears and retorted faintly: "You are the elder sister, but you won't give in to your younger sister even if there is a shortcut."

Li Bingqiao: “…”

Without the time to scold her anymore, Li Bingqiao quickly sent a text message to Tang Wen to make amends:

[Director Tang, I'm very sorry. My sister drank too much just now. I hope I didn't cause any trouble to you. When you have time, I will prepare a drink to apologize to you.]

Tang Wen frowned deeply. How come as an elder sister, she is not as sensible as her younger sister?
He didn't reply, threw away his phone, and started chatting with the girl in his arms about something else:

"I see you are good at dealing with people?"

"You mean your foot-washing maid?" Jia Jingwen shook her head. "She's a little bit stupid, and too eager for quick success. She's easily taken advantage of by others."

That's a good point.

In her previous life at Huayi Company, Huo Siyan was known as a socialite.

Let me ask you, which smart person would turn himself into a socialite?
Moreover, she pays more but gets less benefits than other actresses.

Tang Wen understands the importance of respecting the fate of others.

But now that he is by my side, and he is usually very dedicated, I can’t just ignore him: “Please help me discipline him, uh, educate him.”

After all, when Huo Siyan was with him, she was still a virgin.

Jia Jingwen felt a little envious: "I wish I had met you first."

Tang Wen was stunned, and felt that she was in a bad mood, so he gently stroked her back.

Jia Jingwen debuted at a very young age and must have suffered a lot.

Originally, his family was well off.

But later his business failed and he didn't even finish studying at the Beijing Film Academy. He returned to Taiwan with his father to continue working and earn money to pay off the family debts.

Maybe it was a shortcut to her heart, and Tang Wen took it too well.

Jia Jingwen, who hadn't been vulnerable for a long time, was held in his arms at this moment. Thinking of the difficulties in the past, she actually had an urge to cry.

Tang Wen noticed this and changed the subject: "Can I guess what role you want to play?"

Jia Jingwen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and punched him: "Do you have to pick me up when I'm sad?

I have seen "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" and there are only two female protagonists in it.

There are so many girls around you, the most you can give me is the second female lead, which is the role of Zhou Zhiruo."

Tang Wen smiled and hugged her tighter: "Just take advantage of the opportunity."

Jia Jingwen wanted to bite him, but heard Tang Wen say again: "But you guessed wrong, I think you are more suitable for Zhao Min."

"Hmm?" Zhao Min raised her head, her eyes moist. "So what if it's suitable? Will you really give it to me?"

Tang Wen shook his head, not wanting to be fooled by this demon: "You have to promise to help me for a long time before I can give you the role."

"Okay, no problem." When Jia Jingwen heard the word "long-term", she was overjoyed.

It's very difficult to survive in the entertainment industry without someone to protect you.

Everyone wants to take advantage of you.

You have to be alert when you go out to eat.

Tang Wen cares so much about Huo Siyan, a stupid maid, which shows that he is indeed more reliable than the average bigwigs in the circle.

Handsome, rich and talented.

Most importantly, it’s so awesome at night.

It's hard to find such a sponsor even with a lantern. Tang Wen: "Listen to me first, my girlfriends..."

Just as he opened his mouth, Jia Jingwen couldn't help but interrupt him: "How many?"

"Well, I want you to get to know them."

Jia Jingwen: “?”

"Become their best friend and persuade them to be more positive."

Jia Jingwen was completely speechless, and looked at Tang Wen with an indescribable look: "Since you can't let it go, why not just replace it?"

"Ah," Tang Wen sighed, "Who told me to value feelings?"

"Oh - I see," Jia Jingwen said sarcastically, "You are not a playboy, you just want to give a home to all the beauties in the circle."

Snapped!
"Hey~" She stretched out her hands to protect her buttocks.

"Do you still want the role?"

Jia Jingwen looked into Tang Wen's eyes, then lowered her head and thought for a while: "You have to pay more!"

Tang Wen: "...Okay, let's try to live first."

Jia Jingwen's eyes lit up and she realized that she had got the role.

She rolled her eyes at him and huddled her soft body into the quilt.

The next day, auditions for "The Heaven Sword and the Dragon Saber" took place.

The front of the Blue Star Entertainment Building is filled with cameras.

The stars who were preparing for the audition arrived one after another.

The first person to enter was Nie Yuan.

Tang Wen sat between the two directors, and Director Yang, who was in charge of the literary drama, gave the audition topic.
Not long after, Nie Yuan finished his performance.

He bowed slightly towards the few people.

Then he exchanged a few polite words with Tang Wen and left.

Such an important role will not be evaluated on the spot.

Nie Yuan didn't hold out any hope either; he came mainly to express his attitude.

That is, after apologizing to Tang Wen last time, he didn't feel any awkwardness in his heart and was very much looking forward to working with Tang Wen next time.

Tang Wen didn't know if he had watched too many of Nie Yuan's martial arts scenes.

I always feel that he has a bit of sharpness.

However, the character of Zhang Wuji does not have any sharpness at all.

He is kind but cowardly, has no courage, is indecisive and lacks leadership.

Can't be called a hero.

The second person to come in was Pan Yueming.

The young Pan Yueming was a pretty boy, or as later generations would say, a puppy.

"Hello, teachers. I want to audition for the role of Zhang Wuji."

After watching his performance, Tang Wen secretly thought: Pan Yueming is also suitable.

If something happens to Su Youpeng.

It’s not impossible to let Pan Yueming come.

Equally suitable is Dong Xuan’s best friend, Guan Yue’s boyfriend Tong David.

They don't look aggressive.

Just as I was thinking about it, Chen Kun walked in.

Seeing his angular face, Tang Wen shook his head secretly.

Brother Kun can’t play Zhang Wuji.

Like Xie Tingfeng, he has a rather "cold" appearance. Even if he just stands there with a calm expression and does nothing, people will find it difficult to approach him.

Over the two days, the actor met with dozens of people.

Among them are Su Youpeng, the Good Boy Tiger, and Wu Qilong, the Thunderbolt Tiger, who came specially from Taiwan.

The next evening, the interviews for the male role came to an end.

In response to media interviews, Tang Wen personally revealed the news:
“The latest news and updates on this shoot and casting will be announced on Renren.

At the same time, a vote was initiated on Renren.

Please join the netizens and audience friends in voting for the actor who is most suitable for the role in your opinion!"

Understand the meaning of this sentence.

A reporter asked incredulously: "Director Tang, you mean that it is not you who makes the final decision on the actors, but the ordinary audience?"

Isn't this nonsense?

What does the audience understand?
Reporters were buzzing.

Tang Wen made a gesture of suppression, waited for the scene to quiet down, and explained:
"Casting is, of course, done by me and the director team. We will select the two or three most suitable actors and put them online for everyone to vote on. Finally, based on the voting results and audition performance, we will select the final candidates."

After saying this, he stopped answering questions and got into the car and left with the security team clearing the way.

Online promotion and online voting.

It sounds fresh.

Renren has already made a good website.

There is a link on the homepage. Click on it and you can see electronic photo frames.

The title of the photo frame in the first row reads: [Zhang Wuji Candidate]

There is just no specific photo in the frame.

Just like Tang Wen said, the photos will not be released until the crew has done a preliminary screening.

As the news spread, Renren's popularity and traffic increased further.

These data can actually improve Renren's valuation.

However, Tang Wen has no plans to raise funds at present.

Today's Internet speed is limited by hardware. Even with a large amount of capital, Renren's development speed will not be very fast.

The focus now is on attracting users.

"This Director Tang is really good at making things happen"

"Why is there so much hype about a TV series?"

The entertainment company bosses were somewhat envious when they saw the news.

When their crew starts filming, they have to put a lot of effort into promotion, but the final effect may not be good.

Tang Wen just made a few casual remarks and the media went into full swing to build momentum for him.

Isn't it just a vote? It seems like some great innovation.

On the third day, the leading actress auditioned.

Hu Jing and Zeng Li are here too...
