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

Chapter 413 Ivanka? Mr. Dong's daughter, the new assistant
"Wow, that's a great signature, man!" Will Smith has been famous for many years.

She praised Tang Wen, who was younger than her, with such naturalness.

For actors who want to achieve continuous success, this is an essential course.

Watching him carefully blow the ink off the writing and put the mini CD back into his inner pocket, Tang Wen couldn't help but demonstrate his emotional intelligence:
"I've always wanted to get a deluxe set of Men in Black DVDs for my collection. You'll have to sign them for me when you get it."

“No problem!” Will Smith flashed a bright white smile.

Nicole Kidman, standing nearby, poured red wine for the two of them, pressed her ample thighs together tightly, and asked the important question on Tang Wen's behalf:
"What has Will been up to lately?"

"Producing a family comedy," Will Smith casually mentioned the film's title.

Unsurprisingly, Tang Wen had never even heard of it.

The film is called "All of Us," and Will explains that it's a very low-budget independent comedy film with no big stars.

Will Smith appears to have been involved in the investment.

Tang Wen analyzed that they might be trying to achieve a big result with a small investment.

However, Tang Wen had no recollection of this movie, which clearly flopped without making a splash.

But a loss of up to a million dollars is nothing to Will Smith, who has already entered the $2000 million club.

"Not filming?"

"I just finished filming a futuristic movie about the conflict between humans and robots..."

Nicole Kidman is no mere pretty face; tilting her head, she said, "Why does this story feel so familiar? Is it an adaptation of the original novel?"

“That’s right, Nicole! Asimov’s novel was written only fifty years ago.”

"With Asimov and you, Will, it looks like this movie has the potential to be a huge hit." Tang Wen was telling the truth.

He remembered now; the movie was "I, Robot".

Will Smith's signature film that carried the box office.

Will grinned again, noticing that Tang Wen wasn't as serious as other big directors.

"Tang, you're not what I imagined. I'm having a party next weekend, do you want to come?"

Will was known for his extravagant partying in the industry, and Tang Wen didn't dare to participate.

"That depends on my schedule," he said dismissively, glancing around and lowering his voice, "After this success, quite a few people are keeping an eye on me."

Will Smith touched his prominent ears, as if he understood something: "Got it, buddy, you're definitely going to make those old white men jealous!"

This is definitely a case of speaking too frankly to someone you barely know.

But Will didn't see anything wrong with it. He treated Tang Wen as a good friend, the kind of reliable black guy, and said it naturally.

Nicole Kidman, standing nearby, barely suppressed the urge to retort: ​​"Does Will even know what he's saying?"
After chatting for a while, Tang Wen asked Will about his upcoming schedule.

As a top-tier actor, Will Smith has no shortage of scripts, but he lacks big projects and reliable scripts.

Given Tang Wen's current reputation and box office success, Will would undoubtedly love to collaborate with him.

Knowing that Will would have about 40 to 50 days available in the next few months, Tang Wen had a plan in mind and directly invited him to audition.

"What role?"

"Agent," Tang Wen said with a smile, "I'll have someone send the script to your email later."

Will readily agreed and clinked glasses with Tang Wen.

They chatted for a while longer before parting ways.

Watching Will walk away, Nicole Kidman squeezed next to Tang Wen and asked, "What script? Do you need a female lead? I can lower my salary if you just name your name!"

"You don't lack movies."

“But we’ve never really worked together.” Nicole lifted her snow-white thigh and rubbed it against Tang Wen’s leg, disregarding that they were in a public place.

Yes, that is indeed a difficult problem.

In the movie "Mr. & Mrs. Smith", almost all the women around him could play the leading lady.

Who to look for?
"Alright, in the next couple of days, once everyone's gathered, I'll hold a casting call."

"Seriously? How about tonight?" Nicole Kidman was eager to try it out; she absolutely loved this kind of pure and fun activity.

"Not tonight, I have something to discuss, it might be quite late."

Nicole didn't hide the disappointment in her eyes. "I don't care, talk to me first."

After saying that, he continued to pull Tang Wen upstairs.

This time, no one stopped them.

Tang Wen didn't hold back and directly gave her some sweets.

After he came down from the second floor alone, Egger's assistant led him into a cigar room.

"Finally finished, huh?" Aiger took out champagne from the wine cabinet, poured a glass, and handed it to Tang Wen.

Ding.

The two drank it all in one gulp.

Tang Wen: "When will you officially take office?"

"Michael has handed over his duties as president; the announcement is expected next Monday!"

"Okay, I'll be there."

“I would have invited you even if you hadn’t said anything! Disney would have thrown me a promotion party.” Iger wasn’t a high-profile person: “However, I requested that the scale be kept to a minimum. The location was changed to a villa owned by the company.”

Tang Wen understood perfectly: "It's not too late to hold a big celebration after Michael steps down as chairman and completely leaves office."

The two chatted casually.

Tang Wen said he was preparing to start a new urban spy drama.

"A completely new genre?" Iger couldn't help but worry, but then he thought of Tang Wen's abilities and popularity and felt relieved: "I should trust you. If you need investment, you can go to Disney."

"We don't need to invest, but we do need you to issue it overseas."

"Don't worry, I'll definitely give you a good contract."

Disney's overseas distribution practices are shady.

There are only a handful of companies with the ability to distribute films globally, and production companies are often exploited by them.

But with Aiger around, Tang Wen didn't need to worry about such things.

Don't ask, the answer is that Tang is an important partner of ours in the past, present and future, and it is only right to give him preferential treatment.

Tang Wen has more options than just Disney.

Paramount's global distribution channels are also top-notch.

But Shirley Lansing isn't as reliable as Egger.

The two talked in the room for an hour.

Then Aiger left through the back door. He pays great attention to his routine and health. If it weren't for Tang Wen, he would have left long ago if someone else had made him wait like this.

The banquet hall was rather quiet.

Tang Wen looked around and saw Leonardo walking towards him.

"Congratulations, Tang!"

"Leon, you're still here so late."

"I've been waiting for you." Leonardo raised his glass. "I heard you have a new project?"

Tang Wen laughed: "You're really well-informed. Even if you hadn't contacted me, I would have. But the new project has action scenes, the really intense kind."

While Leonardo DiCaprio may not yet have received Oscar recognition for his acting, his professionalism is definitely not an issue: "Man, I just did 'Gangs of New York,' so don't worry too much about my action scenes. How intense is your movie?"

"Yes, the most intense scene is a family scene, a civil war between husband and wife."

In "Mr. & Mrs. Smith," the couple are both secret agents. After discovering their identities, they grab weapons and smash their house to pieces.

Leonardo laughed: "Is it serious?"

Tang Wen smiled and said, "It's a very interesting script, a commercial film. I won't lower your salary. I'll have someone send you the script tomorrow."

That's enough about business.

Leonardo then brought up the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, which they were both interested in.

It will be held in New York next month.

"I heard they invited singers this time, but not you? Tang, if you go, you might be able to go backstage during the rehearsals."

Supermodels often have limited time to change clothes during fashion shows, so they sometimes change backstage in front of others.

"Really? I'll go back and ask." Tang Wen remembered that Lin Zhiling seemed to have told him that many organizations and institutions had offered him money to perform.

The celebration banquet is over.

Tang Wen did not return to the villa to rest, but went straight back to Galaxy Entertainment.

The chairman's lounge here has been expanded again.

To be precise, Lin Chih-ling had someone rent the room next to the original lounge and install a hidden door.

This matter was handled with the help of FBI Director Olivia.

On the surface, it has no connection with Tang Wen's Galaxy Entertainment.

The hidden door was concealed behind the wardrobe.

The newly rented room was transformed into a bedroom and bathroom, and a living room, kitchen, and balcony were added.

The bathroom has also been expanded, with the addition of an oval-shaped ultra-luxury Jacuzzi.

It features water circulation and massage water waves.

What's the point of setting up this place?

Tang Wen gently patted Lin Zhiling below her waistline.

The latter gave him a coquettish glare and said in her uniquely alluring baby voice, "It's convenient for the Chairman to do whatever he wants. If you get cornered in the lounge, you can go through the next room."

Tang Wen looked at her speechlessly, unsure whether to say she was overthinking things or that he wasn't afraid of being cornered. Sister Lin chuckled and hugged him affectionately, saying, "It'll make it easier for you to audition actresses!"

"The actresses being auditioned have long-term hotel rooms! That's so unprofessional."

After saying that, to Lin Zhiling's surprise, Tang Wen put one arm around her waist and picked her up.

"You've gained weight?"

"No way!" Sister Lin said angrily, biting his ear.

Tang Wen: "Let me check."

He hadn't been back for a while, and Lin Chih-ling had kept up with him on many things.

That night, the two stayed at the company.

President Lin has been doing a good job lately, and Tang Wen rewarded her several times in the whirlpool bathtub...

When news of Tang Wen's new film project leaked out, his phone kept ringing.

He lay on the sofa and selectively answered a few phone calls.

Julia Roberts, the famous actress with a big mouth.

Jennifer Lopez is known for her sexy and hot looks.

Cameron Diaz, who had two in-depth conversations and occasionally bothered Tang Wen, and Drew Baltimore.

They are all top-tier actresses who are currently very popular.

Many male celebrities also called to inquire, including Brad Pitt and Matt Damon.

He was dizzy from all the small talk, and after finishing, he asked, "Where's the new assistant you found for me?"

“Honey, your standards are too high. It won’t be easy to find the right one.”

Before Tang Wen could frown, Sister Lin continued, "However, I have found two suitable candidates. But whether you can win them over depends on your sincerity."

"Just an assistant who handles daily tasks."

"She will inevitably know a lot."

If that doesn't work, we should try to find someone from within China.

Tang Wen stroked his chin and began to ponder.

Over there, Lin Chih-ling sent the information to his computer.

Name: Carmen Keyes

Occupation: Victoria's Secret Model

Nationality: Estonia

Date of birth: 1978...

Carmen?
Is she the one fans call "Goddess Card"?

Looking at the round, long legs in the photo.

Tang Wen frowned and asked, "Why did she give up being a supermodel to become my assistant?"

“That’s what I asked too, but Carmen Keyes told me that her contract with Victoria’s Secret ends next year. She now faces two choices: one is to go back to Estonia to develop her career, and the other is to try to stay in the United States and stay in Hollywood to transition into acting.”

Lin Chih-ling replied.

"So, she might not stay?"

"I believe in your charm," Sister Lin said with a hint of bitterness.

Carmen Keyes is a smart woman.

She became a huge star after endorsing Dior perfume in 1999.

In 2004, which is next year, 26-year-old Carmen Keyes will retire from the modeling industry.

Go back to Estonia to start a business.

With his savings and connections, he later owned two large real estate companies, becoming one of Estonia's wealthiest individuals.

Tang Wen wanted to meet her. Whether she became his assistant or not didn't matter; investing in her would be a good business deal: "Let's schedule a time to have her talk to me."

"You're not going to look at the other one? The other one is even prettier," Sister Lin said deliberately.

Click.

Tang Wen clicked the mouse, and the page redirected.

A photo of a blonde beauty immediately catches the eye.

What the hell!

Ivanka Dong?

His eyes were full of surprise: Zhiling does know how to hire people, but I'm afraid the people she hires will cause trouble.

But then again, Mr. Dong is a troublesome person.

But that was more than a decade later.

If there were no system, I should have avoided him.

But now that I have the system, what's wrong with having Ivanka be my secretary?
"Let's meet this one too."

“I knew it.” Lin Zhiling said with a slight parting of her red lips, “This girl comes from a wealthy family. Her father is a real estate tycoon. She is 22 years old and is studying at Wharton Business School. She didn’t want to intern at the family business school, so she came out to look for opportunities.”

Let's schedule a time.

Tang Wen didn't intend for them to work as secretaries for life.

If you can work for two years, then work for two years!
As Mr. Dong rises in status, Ivanka's position will also rise, and he cannot keep her by his side forever.

There is absolutely no need for that.

These two women probably have their own plans for coming in; they'll need to find reliable people from China to be their real assistants.

Who to look for?
Li Xue?

No, she's capable, but this woman is clearly lusting after my body.

Another agent cultivated by Wang Jinhua – Yang Tianzhen?

It seems like I haven't gone to university yet?
Hong Kong's top agent, Man-hee Fok?

She clearly prefers the life of personally nurturing artists in Hong Kong.

or?

Should we retrain a suitable one?

Being Tang Wen's assistant doesn't actually require exceptional abilities.

There are generally fixed different scripts for responding to phone calls from different people.

All you need to do is be more serious and meticulous in your work.

The important thing is that they are reliable, keep their mouths shut, and their family members should ideally be under Tang Wen's control.

He was lost in memories, confirming the talents he had encountered in this life, and it seemed that none of them were suitable.

I don't have many relatives back in my hometown.

I don't want to use relatives either.

After a long while, he opened his eyes, preparing to contact his older sister, Tang Tang, who had just graduated.

After a long pause to recall, Tang Wen remembered something her sister Tang Tang had mentioned in her previous life: her best friend from university, an accountant, had been imprisoned for three years for "taking the place of her boss" due to financial issues.

The boss had already gone bankrupt at that time.

In other words, she wasn't taking on the responsibility for the money.

It was only because this boss had helped her before. She came from a single-parent family and was raised by her mother. Later, her mother became seriously ill, and the money for her life-saving treatment was lent to her by her boss.

Later, she worked at a company during the day and went to Tang Tang's training class at night, teaching students until midnight, and paid off the money.

But at the boss's pleading, he took the blame for him.

Be grateful and repay kindness.

You can use it with peace of mind.

She also has a younger sister who can take care of the family and travel with her on business trips.

Memories of past lives are truly a treasure trove!

Tang Wen went to the lounge, closed the door, and called his older sister, Tang Tang.

They didn't name names, just said they needed an assistant who was reliable, dependable, and spoke English, blah blah blah.

Tell her to keep an eye out for suitable people around her.

Tang Tang is steady and polite in her dealings with others, but she doesn't easily trust people.

Upon hearing her brother's requirements for choosing people, she instantly thought of several friends.

Some of them were high school classmates.

Some of them are junior high school classmates.

However, these friends are not around often after I went to university, and I don't see them often.

It's hard to say what's going on now.

"Your second sister definitely won't make it, right?" Tang Tang didn't wait for her brother's answer before saying another name: "Liu Liu, my good friend from college. Her family is having some difficulties, but she's a good person. I'll ask her for you first."

Second sister definitely can't do it.

My second sister found out that I was indulging in a life of extravagance and debauchery, and to such an extent.

That would be absolutely infuriating.

Upon hearing the name "Liu Liu," Tang Wen breathed a sigh of relief; it was the same name he remembered.
