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

Chapter 29: Sister is still caring (Please read and collect)

Tang Wen was so frank with Chen Kun for a purpose: "Xiao Ran, Dan Chen, who do you think can come?"

He wanted to poach people and needed a middleman to talk to the companies behind the two women. Chen Kun was a perfect fit.

Chen Kun suddenly felt a headache. Right in front of him, Zhou Xun was listening.

"Junior brother, I won't hide it from you. Your sister Xun is listening, she wants to play the leading female role."

"Xun brother?" Tang Wen thought about it. If Zhou Xun joined, it would naturally be more beneficial to the movie.

At least it can sell more box office.

But he has to rely on this movie heroine to attract people to join his startup company.

He did not refuse directly: "That really poses a problem for me. Of course I would like to let Brother Xun play the role, but my company is just starting up and I need someone to join."

Tang Wen threw the difficult question back: "Brother Kun, Brother Xun, help me analyze it. Which of them is likely to change jobs?"

"Why does it have to be them two?" Zhou Xun spoke.

Tang Wen said confidently: "Brother Xun, if you want to come, I welcome you even more. It doesn't have to be the two of them, you are the only ones I know in the circle."

The two people opposite laughed.

After a moment of silence, Chen Kun said, "Danchen has acted in movies and won awards. Their company also values ​​her."

"That means Sister Xiaoran is more likely."

"Yes, Xiaoran's financial situation is not very good. Her contract is with director Zhao Baogang's company, and Director Zhao has a lot of people he can use." Chen Kun analyzed to this point and did not say anything further.

Tang Wen: "I see. Let's meet and talk."

Chen Kun and Zhou Xun are quite busy, so we can only meet for a midnight snack.

He called Li Xiaoran again, but she was idle at home.

"Sister Xiaoran, this way." Tang Wen stretched out his hand from the BMW and waved.

Li Xiaoran was stunned for a moment. She was looking for Xiao Xiali.

Unexpectedly, a BMW came.

After getting in the car, she couldn't help but exclaimed: "It's only been a short time, and the Xiali has been replaced by a BMW!"

Tang Wen smiled faintly: "I opened a company to serve as a facade."

The more you say this, the less likely others will look down on you.

After not seeing each other for more than a month, the two talked on the phone several times.

Counting up, there were people who had dinner that day.

Tang Wen contacted her the most.

On the phone, the two addressed each other as brother and sister.

Western restaurant.

"You want to sign me?" Li Xiaoran exclaimed.

Realizing his mistake, he quickly covered his mouth.

“After opening a company, we need talents.

I have a movie on hand right now, Chen Kun and Zhou Xun are the leading actors, and you will be the second female lead.

I’ll give you at least one more female lead role next year.

As for the split of the film remuneration, 55%. "

Li Xiaoran was shocked. She had never played the second female lead, let alone the first.

His debut work, "Bodyguard's Jade Doll", not only did not make much of a splash after it was broadcast.

Even her name was ranked outside the top 20 in the cast list.

Not just this one, most of her roles in film and television dramas are far from being considered as leading roles.

In the cast and crew list, it’s best to be ranked fifth or sixth.

Plus, I'm not a professional.

Her acting career was very difficult.

In fact, this is the norm in the circle.

Even so, she is better than many young stars.

However, the acting paths of Chen Kun, Zhou Xun and Huang Xiaoming are abnormal.

He is a lucky man, a child of destiny.

Of course, the person sitting in front of her was even more unusual.

At the age of 18, his short film was shortlisted in Berlin.

Invested in TV series with Shanghai Film Group.

Now I’m starting a new company.

Li Xiaoran was very interested, but she was afraid of offending director Zhao Baogang.

Director Zhao is very famous in the Beijing circle.

Both relationships and capabilities are strong.

In the 90s, he directed the nationwide hit "Desire".

After Tang Wen finished speaking, he concentrated on cutting the steak.

After he finished cutting the meat and took a bite, he saw that Li Xiaoran was still absent-minded and looked very conflicted.

He stood up and placed the cut steak in front of Li Xiaoran.

"Sister Xiaoran, what are you worried about? Are you worried that I don't have the ability?"

"No, no, I'm afraid you'll offend someone, and my penalty for breach of contract is 60 yuan, and I don't have the money to pay." She lowered her head embarrassedly.

Tang Wen smiled: "Are these the only two things you're worried about?"

"Brother, you may not know Director Zhao. He is very powerful." Li Xiaoran looked worried.

"Don't worry, I'll let Brother Kun be the middleman. I'll give him an additional 6 yuan in liquidated damages."

Old men in Beijing care most about face. Tang Wen gave him both face and substance, and he would not let her go unless he believed in her.

"Brother, thank you!" Li Xiaoran was a little excited and pressed Tang Wen's hand that was on the table.

Tang Wen raised his glass: "In 01, I will definitely make you famous!"

"Ding", clink glasses gently.

Li Xiaoran picked up the red wine and drank it up. She drank too quickly, and a strand of dark red wine flowed down the corners of her lips, face, and flowed to her white neck and collarbone, which was extremely attractive.

Tang Wen took a deep breath secretly. No wonder people say drinking red wine is romantic!
I have gained some insights today.

Compared to her, wild models and prostitutes, even if they strip naked and soak in a wine barrel, can't match her charm.

The eighteen-year-old boy couldn't stand the slightest teasing.

He shifted his sitting position awkwardly.

Li Xiaoran stood up, bent over, and filled his glass.

Snow-white and deep, under the ambiguous lights of the western restaurant, it is like an eye-catching black hole.

Tang Wen cried out in his heart that he couldn't stand it anymore, Li Dabai was indeed Dabai.

"Sister Xiaoran, drink less. We have another show later. I have an appointment with Brother Kun and Zhou Xun. Let's talk about the termination of the contract and the movie together."

Li Xiaoran's eyes flashed with excitement.

She was sure that Tang Wen was not joking with her.

This good brother is completely different from the men he has met over the years who only want to take advantage of her and have no skills at all.

"Thank you, brother. I toast to you." She tilted her swan neck and drank again.

Tang Wen had no choice but to accompany her for a drink, and quickly stopped her: "Okay, Sister Xiaoran, we have plenty of opportunities to drink. Eat something."

Even if I kept persuading her, I couldn't suppress Li Xiaoran's excitement.

Most of the bottle of red wine went into her stomach.

When he saw Chen Kun and Zhou Xun, he was already a little drunk.

"The script is great!" Zhou Xun came up and gave me a big hug.

Chen Kun also kept praising him.

The domestic film market has only been around for a short time.

There is no script like "Comet" that combines science fiction and suspense.

They also have to play multiple selves.

It's so attractive for two acting talents.

After talking about the script for a long time, Tang Wen gave the three people some physics knowledge such as parallel worlds and coherence.

The three of them looked amazed.

I don’t know whether I understood it or not, but I just nodded slowly.

Finally, let’s talk about helping Li Xiaoran terminate the contract.

Chen Kun said with some difficulty: "I may not be able to negotiate the penalty for breach of contract."

Tang Wen interrupted him: "We breached the contract first, so we will pay the penalty. The original price was 60, and I will add another 6."

"Great!" Chen Kun gave a thumbs up.

He exchanged a glance with Zhou Xun and said, "That's no problem. We'll go together and try to get this done."

After all, the female lead role was given to Zhou Xun, and she would feel embarrassed if she didn't contribute.

Tang Wen understood it, but he was still unsure.

After all, although Zhou Xun and Chen Kun were popular, they had not reached the status of later generations.

The difference between him and Zhao Baogang is not even a little bit.

He lowered his head and thought for a while: "Brother Kun, I am thinking of a TV script, I think it will impress Director Zhao. Before you go to see him, come to my place and get the script."

"Great! Then it's a sure thing!"

"Yes, Director Zhao is very careful about his reputation and all his films are top-notch."

Li Xiaoran was deeply moved and, regardless of the presence of others, she squeezed next to Tang Wen and hugged his arm tightly.

The softness wrapped around his arms deeply, and Tang Wen's body stiffened: No, sister, you can't test cadres in this kind of environment!
Zhou Xun and Chen Kun looked normal.

This is the norm in the circle, and they are no exception.

Tang Wen praises Li Xiaoran so much. If the latter is not moved and does not express his gratitude, he will be considered an ungrateful person in the circle.

The world of Vanity Fair has always been very realistic.

Before the show was over, Tang Wen's phone rang - it was Dong Xuan.

Li Xiaoran was close and saw the name of the caller.

She looked calm and seemed to be very accepting of this matter.

When Tang Wen came back from the phone, she had already peeled a plate of shrimps.

That's how my elder sister knows how to care for people.

Dong Xuan didn't have anything to do. She knew that Tang Wen was writing an article recently, so she came to deliver some midnight snack to him. When she found no one was home, she called to ask.

After everything was discussed, the four of them left the hotel.

The BMW stopped downstairs of Li Xiaoran's house. She unbuckled her seat belt but did not get out of the car. She looked at Tang Wen with burning eyes.

Their eyes met, the atmosphere became ambiguous, and Li Xiaoran leaned over directly.

The scent of the wind mixed with the aroma of wine, and it was soft on the lips.

"Thank you, brother. You'll be busy tonight, so forget it. But next time, you must stay for tea."

Li Xiaoran got out of the car and left.

Tang Wen understood her attitude: I know you have other women, but I don’t care!
