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

Chapter 59: Seeing Sister-in-law, Your Friend (Please Read)

Domestic entertainment media are also very familiar with the film revenue sharing situation in the United States.

Imperial Capital Entertainment News:

"From a student to a billionaire in six months"

The article seriously analyzed that Tang Wen’s share of the profits this time was at least tens of millions of RMB.

Plus the previous investment of US$750 million in Penguin.

It's just a net worth of hundreds of millions.

Southern Metropolis Entertainment Weekly:

《Hollywood is a holy land for filmmakers! 》

The article says the box office was 4700 million US dollars.

It is a sky-high price in the country, but it is not even ranked in Hollywood.

Hong Kong Media:

"A genius director went overseas and made hundreds of millions!"

Just looking at the title, people who don’t know would think that Tang Wen has gone into the adult entertainment industry.

Tangren Company.

Tang Wei and Cai Yinong are doing yoga.

"Xiao Wei, did Director Tang really make that much money?"

As Tang Wen's reputation grew, Tang Wei's position in the company also rose.

"He didn't say anything specific, he just said he made a lot of money. He also said..."

"What else?" Cai Yinong's eyes were full of curiosity.

Tang Wei smiled bitterly and lowered his voice: "He said that people in Hollywood are stupid and have a lot of money."

Cai Yinong: …

Dong Xuan, Li Xiaoran, and Gao Yuanyuan were also questioned by people around them.

But the one who is most popular among the media is Huang Xiaoming.

Who told him to just come back from Hollywood!
The filming of "The Emperor of Han Dynasty" continues.

Every day Huang Xiaoming has to deal with the media first.

He praised Tang Wen in various ways:
"Hollywood is a producer-centric system. Tang Wen is both a producer and a director. He also has the final say in casting. It can be said that he has the final say in the crew."

But reporters come every day and he is almost out of words.

When I returned to the crew, Jia Jingwen asked me questions again:

"Director Tang Wen has the final say in Hollywood?"

"Does he have a girlfriend?"

"Brother Xiao Ming, will Director Tang come to visit the set after he's done with his work? Be sure to introduce him to me then."

"..."

Huang Xiaoming looked at her helplessly: Your abacus beads are about to jump on my face.

In fact, all the outside speculations are wrong.

After "Comet" was taken off the screen, Tang Wen once again received cash back from the system.

[You spent money, energy, and connections to shoot the North American version of "The Night the Comet Strikes" and it was released. You also supported the famous artist Naomi Watts x1]

[Naomi Watts's rise from well-known artist to third-tier star]

[Evaluation: B, Cashback multiple: 50 times, Experience gained: 500, Potential: 0.5]

The heroine in "Comet" has a very important role.

Naomi has proved herself in commercial films.

Her pay increased dramatically, and she went from being a marginal figure in Hollywood who earned tens of thousands of dollars per movie to a third-tier actress with representative works.

The rating is B, which is reasonable.

[Cashback = (Naomi Watts's salary + small investment + script fee + director's fee + operating expenses, etc.) X50]

【Cashback amount = 500 million US dollars】

See the words "500 million US dollars".

Tang Wen couldn't help but nod repeatedly.

There are so many opposites in Hollywood movies!
The other three female artists also received cash back.

Two American female artists, from [fringe artists → well-known artists]

30 times cash back.

The total amount is 240 million US dollars.

The fourth female role is played by Yu Feihong.

She has acted in movies in America, so she is not a newcomer.

[(Regional) second-tier actress → (Regional) second-tier actress (also an internationally renowned artist)]

An additional internationally renowned title.

He is just one representative work away from becoming an international third-tier artist.

Evaluation B, cash back multiple 50.

She contributed $250 million.

It was an unexpected surprise.

But think about it, it's so difficult to become a Hollywood star these days.

Among so many people in the country, only Cheng Long and Li Lianjie are truly successful.

Others/herself, just play a small role and then go back to brag about it.

It is normal for Yu Feihong to go from domestic to international level with high evaluation and high cash back.

A low-budget comet.

It brought Tang Wen an additional income of 990 million US dollars.

It accounts for the bulk of his income!

Tang Wen was excited for a while. He logged into the official website of American Express Bank and carefully checked the transfer information.

The source of funds is a bearer trust company, and the registered address is the Cayman Islands, a well-known offshore financial center.

Below the transfer information, there is a document form attached.

A tax clearance certificate from the IRS.

Cash back or after-tax income!

Tang Wen was completely relieved: the system is so thoughtful!

Since the money couldn’t be kept in the bank, the first thing he thought of was Apple.

I opened the website and searched, and found that Apple’s stock price had just exceeded $1.

It's a bargain.

The highest price in later generations once exceeded 700 US dollars.

Seize the opportunity and you can earn hundreds of times more.

"Don, MGM and Universal are having a celebration party. I'll pick you up tonight. Bring your female companion."

Robert called and Tang Wen found out after asking a few questions.

"Hannibal", a joint production of the two companies, has been taken off the screen.

Good grades.

It grossed over 30 million U.S. dollars in three days after its release.

In ten days, it broke 100 million US dollars.

It also set a new North American first-week box office record.

Worth celebrating!

night.

Tang Wen was wearing a suit and a Jaeger-LeCoultre watch on his wrist that Naomi helped him pick out.

The backless Dior evening gown Naomi was wearing was chosen by him.

In the banquet hall, waiters and waitresses were coming and going.

Surrounded by the crowd at the door was the male lead, Anthony Hopkins.

He is in his sixties and half of his hair is white.

Tang Wen didn't join in the fun.

Naomi looked at the female lead Julianne Moore on the other side with envy on her face.

Tang Wen comforted her in her ear: "One day you will be more glorious than her."

The band started playing and the two slid onto the dance floor, swaying in each other's arms.

Just after he finished dancing, he was stopped by a blonde beauty.

"Naomi, long time no see."

Tang Wen took a closer look: the person coming was Tom Cruise’s wife, no, ex-wife, Nicole Kidman.

The two divorced just at the beginning of this year.

"Hello, Director Tang."

"Do you know me?" Tang Wen was slightly surprised.

"It's hard not to know this young miracle director from the East."

Both women are from Australia and have worked together more than once.

Tang Wen gave the two of them enough space to talk and strolled around casually with a glass of wine in hand.

"Another bottle, Bordeaux, I want Bordeaux, you fool!"

There was a noise.

Who dares to act drunk and crazy in Universal and MGM's venues?
Tang Wen walked over curiously and saw Johnny Depp.

It turns out to be a pirate captain!

He is indeed notoriously difficult to deal with.

However, the Pirates of the Caribbean series is really profitable.

Not only the movie, but also the peripheral products are selling like hot cakes.

Eh?
This series seems to have been released in 03, right?
Tang Wen had an idea, so he walked around for another half an hour and then took Naomi back to the hotel.

"You and Nicole Kidman are close?"

"Not really. She never helped me when I was too poor to pay the rent." Naomi's face flashed with a hint of sarcasm: "In her eyes, she and I are competitors."

"She has good taste. You are indeed more beautiful than her."

Naomi smiled, squatted down and untied his shoelaces.

Spent a few more days in Los Angeles.

Tang Wen flew to New York.

He was away from the United States for most of the year and needed to find a stock manager to manage his stocks.

Once the candidate is found, the contract needs to be signed under the witness of lawyers from both parties.

Tang Wen’s lawyer in Silicon Valley was too busy to fly over, so he had to introduce him to a Chinese lawyer in New York named Zhang.

The two parties signed the contract on the first floor of the hotel.

Lawyer Zhang took the initiative to chat with Tang Wen.

He was a little curious about how Tang Wen could come up with tens of millions of dollars at such a young age.

I was even more surprised to learn that Tang Wen was the director.

Tang Wen talked about Hollywood and Lawyer Zhang talked about Wall Street.

The two of them were chatting so happily that they forgot about time.

Until Lawyer Zhang's phone rang, he looked at the door and said embarrassedly: "My wife is waiting for me. Director Tang is free, you can come to my house for dinner tomorrow. My family is very interested in the entertainment industry."

Tang Wenben wanted to refuse, but when he followed his gaze towards the door, he was stunned.

The young Liu Xiaoli stood in the sunlight at the door, her white skin shining.

He nodded: "It just so happens that my flight is the day after tomorrow."

"That's settled. I'll send a car to pick you up tomorrow night." Lawyer Zhang didn't notice anything unusual.
