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

Chapter 406 Director Tang's Two Hours and Seventeen Minutes! (Please Subscribe)
On the way back, Angelina Jolie and her assistant frowned and pondered in the car.

More than half an hour later, back at the hotel, they still couldn't figure out what trick The Sun was playing.
What is their purpose?
What important value does one's private life have?
Julie didn't understand.

I called my agent.

After discussing it for a long time, the two concluded that The Sun might have some information that could influence the film's box office performance.

They don't need it themselves, so they want to exchange it for some benefits.

Following this flawed line of thought, the two continued to ponder.

Suddenly, the female assistant next to her, who was surfing the internet, spoke up: "Julie, I think you should take a look at this."

As she spoke, she turned the laptop screen around.

Angelina Jolie saw photos of Donald and Scarlett Johansson at the Venice Film Festival, on awards night.

A sudden realization struck him: "I get it! Those sons of bitches at The Sun want news about me and Tang Wen! That must be it!"

The agent on the other end seemed to remember something:
"So, the British newspapers analyzed Director Tang Wen's private parts and came to the conclusion that he was incredibly talented! Then their sales skyrocketed."

Julie gave a cold laugh: "These British media outlets always find news in their crotches. The Sun is definitely after Tang! I'll contact him."

The agent quickly reminded him, "Everyone in Hollywood knows that Don has considerable influence in Europe and Asia. If he's willing to help you, he might really be able to salvage the box office of Tomb Raider!"

People all over the world love to read celebrity gossip and scandals; they love to gossip.

If Tang Wen's popularity in Europe could translate into increased buzz for Julie's films...

Thinking of this, Angelina Jolie's eyes flickered, and she instructed her agent:
"You contact Paramount for me, and I'll contact Tang. If Tang Wen is willing to help with the publicity, Paramount will need to offer some benefits!"

The agent was surprised: "You can't handle him yourself?"

Julie was displeased upon hearing this. She said, "I can't handle it, but you don't need to shout it out."

She had been involved in the team battles and knew Tang Wen better than most people, recognizing how different he was from other Hollywood bigwigs.

Other bigwigs need to exchange resources and opportunities if they want to have something going on with female celebrities or host banquets.

And what about Tang Wen?

As reported by the British tabloids, being with him is a great pleasure for female celebrities.

Therefore, he doesn't need to spend any resources at all. Nicole Kidman, Naomi Watts, and other established actresses he has worked with all want to have sex with him at his villa whenever they have free time.

It's not that they're promiscuous or that they don't like being alone with someone.

Julie tried it, and she really couldn't handle it one-on-one.

"Tomb Raider is not just my personal interest. This is only the second film. If we shelve it now, Paramount, which is not good at making series films, will have no series films left."

Agent: "Okay, I understand. I'll try to contact Julie at Paramount. You'd better go talk to Tang Wen yourself."

"Well, we can't talk about this over the phone. I'll go over there and seduce him!"

hang up the phone.

Julie called Tang Wen and was relieved to learn that he was still in Europe.

Then he asked to meet immediately.

Tang Wen's writing is perfectly acceptable.

After quickly packing, Jolie told Paramount's film publicity team that she had urgent business to attend to and needed to leave the UK temporarily, without revealing anything else.

Paramount's people were naturally unwilling.

The two argued, but in the end, they couldn't stop Julie from heading to the airport.

After landing in southern Italy, Julie rented a car and headed straight to the resort hotel where Tang Wen was staying.

Completely unaware that a tail was following behind him.

After the people from The Sun contacted her, they were afraid that she would leave them behind and go to Tang Wen alone.

Now the thing I feared most has happened.

Fortunately, they had a backup plan: to follow Julie, find Tang Wen's hideout, and take private photos of the two of them.

As long as we can capture the moment, it's all worth it.

We arrived at the resort hotel.

They discovered that Tang Wen was staying in a penthouse suite.

I wanted to book a room directly below Tang Wen, but I was told that there were no rooms available.

The nearest empty room is two floors away from Tang Wen's.

You can't hear anything at all.

Unless Tang Wen and Julie can cause the building to collapse.

In Italy, The Sun can wield some influence, but that's about it; it's not as convenient as it is in Britain.

As usual, they used their local informants to find a company that cleans the hotel windows and maintains the exterior walls. They planned to get into Tang Wen's room from the rooftop and install some hidden filming equipment.

We're sure to get firsthand, explosive information!

At that time, both his prize money and the sales of The Sun will skyrocket.

The Daily Mirror and the Daily Mail are just following in our footsteps and getting their dust!
Unfortunately, while the plan was well-thought-out, reality was harsh.

I found out that the hotel's glass had recently been broken and several parts of the exterior walls had been stained with bird droppings, so they had just called a cleaning company.

At this point, another incident of the exterior walls and glass being defaced would certainly arouse suspicion from the hotel and Tangwen's security team.

but?

They asked a few more questions.

When did the service company arrive?

The other party specified the time.

It was exactly the day before Tang Wen checked in.

Is it a coincidence?
impossible?

They're used to taking secret photos and listening in; they're corrupt themselves, so they see everyone else as corrupt, and subconsciously suspect such coincidences.

But deep down I hoped it wasn't true, otherwise, this big news might be stolen by our competitors.

Italian media outlets don't seem to be very good at digging up news.

Could it be a colleague from China?
Without any sabotage from behind, the people from The Sun withdrew with their doubts.

Julie entered Tang Wen's bedroom. It was already evening, and he and Scarlett were playing a game.

To be precise, Scarlett lost a game and was shaking a teddy bear for Director Tang, who was sitting on the sofa, to admire.

The two women were acquaintances and had met naked before.

Without saying a word, Julie took off her top and joined in.

Scarlett: Not a girl? Are you that thirsty?
With light dark circles under her eyes, she looked at Julie and said, "It looks like you have something to say. I'll go to the bedroom and wait for you."

"Thank you, Scarlett."

Julie sensed her kindness.

This is extremely rare.

In Hollywood, competition and infighting among actresses are rampant.

There have been numerous instances of female celebrities who dislike each other stepping on each other's dresses on the red carpet, and even slapping each other.

Julie realized that the women around Tang Wen had a rare foundation of mutual trust.

Everyone has witnessed what it's like when someone loses their composure.

And then there's Tang Wen, a big shot in Hollywood, who can act as an "arbitrator."

However, now is not the time to talk about this.

Scarlett yawned and went back to her room to catch up on her sleep.

She was so excited after winning the award these past two days, and had so much fun that she relied on her youth to keep going for several days, but she couldn't keep up anymore.

The music didn't stop, and Julie didn't spoil Tang Wen's fun. She danced for a while before sitting on the sofa at his prompting.

Julie, confident in her fit figure and genuinely hungry, found it hard to resist the charm that Tang Wen unintentionally exuded.

Without saying a word about anything important, he immediately bowed down.

Tang Wen raised his chin slightly, his eyes filled with satisfaction, and picked up his wine glass to take a sip.

Look at the interaction between Scarlett and Julie; they barely exchanged a few words throughout.

They handed over the baton immediately and tacitly.

If it were Dong Xuan and Yuan Yuan.

Forget it, let's not look for trouble.

Hey~
Life is hard.

I can only enjoy it overseas now.

Tang Wen's mind went blank, as if he were traveling in space...

In the bathroom, Julie lay wearily in the bathtub, her eyes surprisingly bright.

She was talking to Tang Wen about the Sun newspaper contacting her...

After speaking, he noticed that Tang Wen's expression was calm, and he seemed unsurprised.

"You knew already?"

"Your people contacted Paramount, didn't they?"

He gently rubbed Yukiko's skin. Tang Wen continued, "Shirley Lansing and I have some connections. She's willing to share some benefits and hopes I'll cooperate."

Julie was greatly surprised: Paramount actually offered to give up some benefits?

Do they value the Tomb Raider series that much?
No, that's not right.

These big companies are bloodsuckers; they won't give in so easily.

Therefore, the key point is the relationship between Shirley Lansing and Tang Wen!
This president, who stands at the top of Hollywood, is notoriously difficult to deal with.

Unexpectedly, Tang Wenlian could also handle her.

Julie tightened her grip on his arm, letting out an undisguised sigh of relief: "Don, you really surprised me! So,"

She looked up, a seductive smile on her face: "Are you going to help this poor woman like me?"

Tang Wen's lips curled into a smile: "Oh, that depends on your performance."

Julie felt much relieved.

She is a female star who rose through the ranks in Hollywood and has a "reformed woman" persona.

She was very willing to give and did not think that just because Paramount offered her a price, she could use Tang Wen's fame for "free".

She leaned close to Tang Wen's ear and gently nibbled at his earlobe, saying, "Actually, what Ni can do, I can do too."

Ah, this!

Looking at her sexy and slightly wildly beautiful face, my heart pounded. If I did that, the feeling of conquest would definitely be even stronger.

But that's not good!

Are all American actresses this willing to go to such lengths?

I'm really not a pervert.

Hey ~
It's all their fault for tempting me; there are bad people among female celebrities.

Angelina Jolie could tell he was interested, but also a little embarrassed.

He was extremely satisfied. Compared to those scoundrels in Hollywood, Tang was practically a saint!

She leaned in and kissed him for a while, then left the bathtub amidst the sound of running water: "I'm going to get something to drink."

After saying that, she gave Tang Wen a wink with a big smile, showing no sign of being forced.

Even after she was out of Tang Wen's sight, she still naturally exuded a smile.

They felt no humiliation whatsoever about what was about to happen.

Even Oscar-winning actress Nicole Kidman was purged, so what is there for me to hold back?
A few minutes later, she went into the bathroom again.

Besides beer and champagne, he also had some special cleaning tools.

Seeing Tang Wen's wide eyes in surprise, Julie smiled even more broadly: "Do you like it? Double the happiness!"

Of course I like it.

But after thinking it over, Tang Wen said, "After the Venice Night, I haven't given many interviews or made many public appearances, and the hype is fading quickly. Let's wait until the Tomb Raider box office recovers before using this."

It wasn't that he was soft-hearted; it was that he was afraid Julie wouldn't be able to get up tomorrow.

Julie was deeply moved: "Darling, if I had met you when I was a few years younger, I would have fallen completely in love with you."

Tang Wen frowned: What do you mean?
Do you think I can't be completely with you right now?

With a splash, Tang Wen got out of the bathtub, his eyes filled with hostility.

This woman really needs to be educated. When have I ever failed to be thorough?
The next morning.

Julie mustered her spirits and, together with her assistant and Tang Wen, discussed how to create a buzz.

Actually, Tang Wen was the one doing the talking, and she was just listening.

Hollywood knows that Tang Wen is a master at film marketing.

"...The Sun and some other best-selling magazines in Europe could be utilized."

Julie said in a voice that was hoarser than usual, "Okay, you don't need to come out. I'll do their interview."

She said with a smile, "The content might be quite bold, but I promise I will tell the truth."

The female assistant perked up her ears and secretly sized up Tang Wen. Julie's voice sounded off, and she looked a little tired, but her complexion was excellent. The spring-like look in the corners of her eyes was like that of California summer plums that had just been moistened after the rain!
Tang, however, showed no signs of fatigue whatsoever.

Is it true that it lives up to its reputation?

I don't know what it feels like to be with him.

Tang Wen didn't pay attention to the assistant's gaze. As a handsome guy just like the readers, he had encountered this kind of sneaky look too many times and it wasn't worth noticing.

He shook his head and added to Julie's words: "Going on the initiative to give interviews will be bad for your reputation."

Actively exposing one's privacy will definitely get you criticized.

Various insults and accusations of being a "slut" will inevitably follow.

Although the criticism was justified... cough cough, it concerns Tang Wen himself, and he doesn't want to be implicated.

A warm feeling welled up in Julie's heart. In front of her assistant, she nestled into Tang Wen's arms like a little woman: "Audiences have short memories. Once the movie's box office improves, they will forget about this."

"That's true, but it's unnecessary. We'll have someone 'secretly record' it; the effect will be much better!"

Julie's eyes lit up: "Great idea! Someone sold our privacy to the newspapers. To prevent more rumors from spreading, I'll come forward to clarify and give interviews! That way, society will sympathize with us..."

She became more and more excited as she talked, and couldn't help but pull Tang Wen's hand into her arms to warm it.

If the movie hadn't already been released and time wasn't so tight, she would have taken the initiative to start a new round of battles in the living room.

The female assistant secretly clicked her tongue in amazement: Julie is so proactive!
There are many European countries; if you want to create hype, you'd have to travel to at least several cities.

The first stop is inevitably the United Kingdom.

Tomb Raider 2 has been released in the UK.

Their performance in the first weekend was mediocre, and they need some news to stimulate the market.

The British tabloid industry is highly developed, which can be used to create hype.

Tang Wen's trip to Italy is basically over.

After packing up briefly, he and Julie prepared to set off for England.

As for Scarlett, having won the award, she should have returned to the United States long ago to enjoy the flowers and applause.

In the afternoon, Tang Wen and his party arrived in England, where Paramount's representatives also arrived.

The staff member who had previously argued with Jolie came to the airport to greet her and apologize.

Julie didn't take these little things to heart at all.

Paramount means that Tang Wen booked a presidential suite at a five-star hotel.

The room was several times better than Julie's.

So she moved in without any hesitation.

The original room was given to the arriving agent.

The three teams began discussing the details and talked for an entire night.

Lin Chih-ling sent staff to participate. Tang Wen didn't listen to what they were talking about, but he wasn't idle either.

He went into the bedroom and called each of the women back home.

Or rather, it was a preventative measure taken in advance.

Tang Wen put on an acting performance, his voice calm yet weary, and within that weariness lay a hint of apology:

"Next, I'm afraid I'll have to work with Paramount to promote their movie Tomb Raider 2, which is currently showing in theaters."

Paramount has a lot of resources; I can't refuse.

But the content of this hype is, frankly, a bit low-class..."

It was vague and didn't go into details.

But the evasive tone subtly revealed the hardships a man faces working alone in a foreign land.

Dong Xuan was heartbroken, Bingbing felt sorry for her, and Zeng Li and Hu Jing both fell silent. Sister…

After listening, Tang Wei's tone became extremely gentle, and she recalled with Tang Wen the experience of running roadshows together and being exhausted every day.

Reassure him that everything will be alright.

As for the fact that he was forced to create scandals with overseas female celebrities, they all expressed their full understanding!
I will always stand by his side and will not listen to the media's nonsense.

Gao Yuanyuan was the most excited. For some reason, she said, "If it doesn't work out, come back. I'll take care of you!"

All I can say is that Da Meiyuan has a pure heart, but when it comes to business, she really has no sense of propriety.

Over the phone, the women hinted or made their intentions to come and be with him as soon as possible.

Tang Wen immediately sensed something was wrong. He had used too much force. If they came over and saw Angelina Jolie, the cheetah-like female star, behaving like a docile kitten in front of him, what would happen?

Paramount's British executives acted like subordinates in his presence.

How the hell can they keep up this pathetic act?
How can I gain sympathy in the future?

Tang Wen became increasingly frightened and quickly racked his brains for an excuse: "It's really inconvenient during this publicity stunt. If we get photographed, it'll be very difficult..."

at the same time.

The Daily Mail, one of Britain's three major tabloids, is working feverishly.

After tireless efforts, they finally obtained first-hand information on "Tang Wen's combat strength"!
The editor-in-chief personally worked overtime, deliberated for a long time, and finally wrote down a line as the headline for tomorrow's front page—

Director Tang – Two Hours and Seventeen Minutes!
