"Hahaha……"

As soon as Tang Wen entered the door, he heard Li Xiaoran's clear laughter.

"I'm reading the comic strip "Sex and the City". It's really interesting." Li Xiaoran put down the book, walked up to him like a gentle lady, took off his coat and put on slippers for him.

"The house will be ready for living in after a few days of cleaning."

"Well, we're about to go back for the Golden Rooster Awards, right?"

"You're going to attend, too?"

Li Xiaoran stared: "If I don't go to Jinji, I can't return to China?"

"Wait until the house is cleaned up, and then you can stay for a while before leaving."

Li Dabai's eyes were instantly filled with tenderness again.

"..."

In the evening, Tang Wen went to the appointment alone.

Mrs. Liu Xiaoli is not familiar with Los Angeles.

The place where Tang Wen was invited to dinner was an American steakhouse near the Four Seasons Hotel.

When she saw Tang Wen, a trace of embarrassment flashed across Liu Xiaoli's face and she quickly stood up.

Seeing her discomfort, Tang Wen said, "Sister Xiaoli, feelings are private matters. I won't butt in on it."

Liu Xiaoli was even more embarrassed after being pointed out directly: "Director Tang, please listen to me first."

Tang Wen was a little surprised: You can’t hide your love for someone.

But if you like two people, you have to hide it.

This way, all three are safe.

You didn't have to tell me.

Liu Xiaoli spoke with difficulty: "Actually, my husband knows about Chen Feijin, the friend I had yesterday."

Good guy!
Sister Xiaoli taught me.

In this line of work, there is really no end to learning.

Tang Wen, who was not interested in the melodramatic middle-aged love drama, was also shocked.

"My husband and I have always had differences over the upbringing of our daughter. He wants Sissi to study law, but I want Sissi to study art."

"I can see that you are interested in Hollywood."

"Do you think Sissi is suitable for Hollywood?"

Tang Wen smiled: "Do you have any connections in Hollywood?"

Liu Xiaoli's eyes dimmed and she smiled bitterly: "You are the only friend I know in Hollywood."

friend?

Then, to Liu Xixi, wouldn’t that mean I have become her mother’s friend?
Tang Wen said tactfully: "Hollywood is not suitable for Chinese actors to grow up. Have you ever seen first-line Chinese or Asian actors?"

"Zunlong?" Liu Xiaoli hesitated and uttered a name.

Cheng Long and Li Lianjie both came from China, only Zun Long grew up in America.

"When Zun Long was at his peak, he was barely a first-tier star. We won't discuss this. He rose to fame because of the domestic film The Last Emperor. If you and Sissi, you will pay a huge price!"

He emphasized the word "price", paused, and then said, "In the end, you can barely become a first-tier player. Are you willing?"

Liu Xiaoli understood and held the coffee cup tightly: "So, those things, the red sofa, and what Marilyn Monroe said, were all true?"

Tang Wen looked surprised. This woman was so old, yet so naive!
Weren’t you an actor in your country?
Oh, yes, in your time, there was also the crime of hooliganism.

Anyone who dares to behave rudely towards an actress might even be punished by having peanuts eaten.

"Tell you a story."

Tang Wen told a story about his own audition where the male actor knelt down.

Liu Xiaoli couldn't understand: the director didn't make any promises, so why did he do this just for a possibility?
Looking at her expression, Tang Wen really wanted to say to her: Don’t waste your time trying to enter the entertainment industry, just find a man and marry him!
Oh, no, she's married.

And I like two of them, and I haven’t hidden them yet.

The steak was served, smelling delicious. Tang Wen asked for two bottles of wheat juice.

Liu Xiaoli, who never drinks alcohol, did not refuse.

She wanted to ask, if you come to support Sissi.

Would she be able to stay in Hollywood without having to deal with the dark side?
Before he could say anything, a figure approached the table.

"Excuse me, Director Tang Wen."

"Naomi, long time no see."

Naomi didn't know what the relationship between Tang Wen and the woman opposite was, so she didn't act too intimate, and only used her eyes to convey her feelings: "I went back to Australia."

“Is Mulholland Drive coming out soon?”

"Yes, on the same day as our Saw."

The two didn't talk much. Naomi quietly put her hands in front of her, made a phone call gesture, and turned back to her table.

“She’s the heroine of your movie?”

"She should be popular this year and become a third-tier star, or even better, a second-tier star."

Because of Tang Wen.

Naomi has also starred in "Comet", "Saw" and "Mulholland Drive", which shows that she not only has acting skills but also has proved her box office appeal.

If the next film is well chosen, it can secure a place in the second tier.

Otherwise, at most he would be a third-tier actor with no shortage of roles to play.

She doesn't seem to be very young, and she is only a second-tier star when she becomes popular?
Liu Xiaoli found it a little hard to accept because her appearance, family, and the domestic environment in the past few years had made her life too easy.

The husbands and suitors also have their own abilities.

You start with a good hand, but you want to pursue fame and fortune, but you don't have enough skills.

Later, he wanted to help his daughter play cards. If Liu Tianxian hadn't had thick blood, she would have been wiped out long ago.

"Director Tang, your future work focus will be on Hollywood, right?"

“Not really, but I have a lot of business here.”

The major domestic market has not developed.

I have so many European and American classics in my mind that it would be a shame not to copy them.

Besides, America was in its last glorious period, and it could be said that "people were stupid and rich".

If we don't fish it out now, are we going to wait until the gender turns into a plastic bag?
"Didn't you buy a house?" Liu Xiaoli didn't understand and was a little worried for him.

This director has made it into Hollywood, why does he want to return to China?

Her thoughts were written on her face.

Tang Wen explained: "It's very exclusive here. The most I can do is become a gold medal producer with a say."

He is a gold medal producer and has a high status in Hollywood. Everyone is scrambling to invest in his projects, and he can often communicate directly with the presidents of the six major companies.

Liu Xiaoli knew a little about it, but she wanted to say something but stopped herself.

"Sister Xiaoli, since you said you consider me a friend, if you have anything to say, just ask directly. I will definitely tell you what I can answer."

Liu Xiaoli has a lot to ask.

She thought for a moment and said, "If Xixi signed with your company, how high could you push her?"

Tang Wen smiled.

This woman finally wised up for once.

This is not a problem at all.

This is a series of questions.

Obviously she had planned or fantasized about her daughter's future more than once.

"Tell me first, what level do you want her to reach? Tell the truth."

"Uh, Julia Roberts."

Good man, you have a big heart.

Julia is the first American female star to earn $2000 million per film.

She also won the Oscar for Best Actress.

A figure destined to go down in film history.

"It's hard."

"So there is hope?"

"With the same resources, we can easily produce two white actresses of the same level."

Liu Xiaoli's smile froze on her face.

No one would pay twice as much and get twice as much.

“When I support Chinese actresses, I will let them shoot TV series in the country first to establish their popularity among the public.

Become a domestic superstar, make movies, and prove your commercial value;
Make art films, win European awards, and create international influence..."

Tang Wen talked freely.

Looking at his high spirits, he exuded a sense of confidence that everything was under control.

Liu Xiaoli's eyes showed something strange.

She thought of what Chen Feijin said after running into Tang Wen at noon: Director Tang Wen is very good, and everyone in the domestic film and television circles wants to work with him!

When you and your daughter come back to China with me, I can use my connections to find him and support Xixi...

Liu Xiaoli could tell that Chen Feijin was not sure about his ability to persuade Tang Wen.

His industry connections have little overlap with the entertainment industry.

Just hire an ordinary director and spend some money.

But with one move, Tang Wen took over a property worth more than 700 million US dollars. Could Chen Feijin really afford it?

Tang Wen finished speaking.

Liu Xiaoli stood up and poured him a glass of wine: "It sounds really exciting."

After sitting down, she continued, "Chen Feijin wanted me to return to China, saying that he would help Xixi open an entertainment company as a godfather and become a big star. I was very hesitant, but I didn't expect that Director Tang also thought that I should return to China to develop..."

No, wait!
I still strengthen your confidence in going to find him.

Am I part of your play?

Got to break it back!

Tang Wen tapped the table lightly and looked at Liu Xiaoli with disdain:
"What do you mean by godfather?
How old is Sissi?
How old is your friend?
Is there any mother like you?"

Aunt Liu was stunned!
It does not make sense!

What's that look in your eyes?
Liu Xiaoli was extremely angry: "Who do you think I am?! I will never sell my daughter even if I die!"

People at the surrounding tables looked over.

Fortunately, there are no Chinese people around.

Otherwise, she would probably think it was the person who wanted to buy her daughter.

Liu Xiaoli took a deep breath, and her collar bulged up in anger.

After taking a sip of wine, Tang Wen retorted: “Okay, even if not.

You live under someone else's roof.

Do you know what that guy was thinking?

Can you control what he will do?
He wants to start a company for your daughter and be her godfather.

In any circle, what kind of serious relationship is godfather?

You exploded at the first glance from me.

When the time comes, it won’t just be you who will scold you.

It's newspapers, it's magazines, it's thousands of people on the Internet.

Every time your daughter has a work, they bring it up again!"

Every word hit Liu Xiaoli's heart like a sledgehammer.

The blow made her head go blank and her face turn pale!

This woman is so stupid.

Tang Wen shook his head. If he hadn't considered that the system would most likely allow him to create an international actress in the future.

However, there are not many female stars in China who have this qualification.

Liu Yifei is one of them. He is too lazy to talk nonsense here.

Tang Wen has no ill feelings towards Liu Yifei.

This girl has never done anything naughty after she became famous.

But Tang Wen couldn't possibly spoil her and her mother.

I will never cooperate with Chen Feijin.

If they still recognize a godfather, they will follow the old path.

The characters like Bai Xiuzhu, Zhao Linger, Xiaolongnu, and Wang Yuyan.

It all depends on your ability and connections.

in silence.

Tang Wen ate meat and drank wine with big mouthfuls.

Treat Liu Xiaoli on the opposite side as air.

Liu Xiaoli really wanted to say that Chen Feijin was not that kind of person!
But she still has some knowledge after all.

Know that people will change.

Over the past decade, Chen Feijin has built up a huge fortune. Could he be a simple man?

Is there really no woman around me?

At an old age, you devote yourself to craftsmanship and only love yourself?
She herself doesn't believe this!

Besides, although we have been in constant contact over the years, we have never lived together.

Do you really understand him?

Thinking of this, Liu Xiaoli forced a smile:
"Director Tang, I know you mean well. I'm sorry, I didn't ask you clearly what you meant and I lost my composure."

Tang Wen: Maybe there is still hope?

"You have come to a turning point in your life. Think carefully before making a decision. Don't wait until something goes wrong to regret it. Remember to come to the premiere tomorrow."

"Ah, good."

As Liu Xiaoli watched, Tang Wen stood up and walked towards Naomi's seat.

Naomi's friends who were dining with her have left.

She was the only one left in the seat.

Tang Wen didn't ask her out, but she wanted to wait and see.

In Hollywood, if you don't seize opportunities, you will never get ahead.

Seeing the blonde beauty, she took Tang Wen's arm and left gracefully.

Liu Xiaoli murmured, "This is the entertainment industry. Well, this woman is much older than him..."

In fact, she and Lawyer Chen have been discussing separation and even divorce.

Chen Lu still has feelings for her, and her heart is only on her daughter.

Even to Chen Feijin, it's just like that.

Otherwise, why come to the United States after your first marriage?

Wouldn't it be better to just marry Chen Feijin?

The meal made her feel extremely confused!
He returned to the hotel like a zombie, rejected Chen Feijin's invitation for midnight snack, and his mind was full of thoughts about what to do next.

Tang Wen also said that Hollywood is not suitable for growth.

If you want to train your daughter to become a star, you must return to China.

However, my social relations in China have almost been severed.

Relying on Chen Feijin is certainly risky.

But without relying on Chen Feijin, the mother and daughter would have gone into the entertainment industry empty-handed. That's not a matter of risk; that's hilarious!

"Mom? Are you feeling unwell?"

Liu Qianqian walked into the bedroom with a laptop, as if she wanted to share something with her mother.

"No, Mommy's just tired. What do you want to show me, baby?"

"Oh! I searched for news about the director brother in China. His company signed two new artists. He wrote a song and made them famous!"

"Really? Let me see." Liu Xiaoli had an idea and moved closer to the screen.

[Young girl Wang Xinling was spotted by Director Tang and became famous with one song]

The news content is about an eighteen-year-old girl named Wang Xinling, who was discovered by Tang Wen and brought from Taiwan to Beijing.

She released a song called "When You", which entered the music charts within a few days and made her famous.

Some Taiwanese media have dug up Wang Xinling's background.

Single-parent family, smart and cute, sensible and working...

He was discovered by Tang Wen and became famous overnight.

This, her experience and personality are very similar to Sissi's.

Let’s look at the news about Zhang Jingying again.

A somewhat rustic girl, whose father died young, from a single-parent family, sensible and hardworking, became famous with one song...

Liu Xiaoli raised her head in confusion and looked at her daughter. Hmm, they both come from single-parent families. It must be a coincidence, right?
The two daughters come from an ordinary family.

He has no resources and his fame comes only from being noticed by Tang Wen.

So, it is not impossible to enter the entertainment industry with nothing?
In particular, we also know Tang Wen.

But why didn't he come to dig up Sissi?

Is it because Sissi is too young?

"Baby, do you like singing?"

Liu Qianqian raised her little head and looked at her mother in confusion: "So, do I have to learn to sing in the future?"

"Mom thinks you can learn."

Liu Qianqian: Wow, I just shared a piece of news, and now I have an extra homework!
Drive an American car.

No, Tang Wen, who drove the Australian car, had long forgotten about Liu Xiaoli.

It feels good to drive outside.

You can experience the thrill of racing on an open and straight road!
He stood up and stepped on the accelerator!

The steering wheel, he pulled hard!
I don't have to worry about fuel consumption, maintenance, or whether the hair on the leather steering wheel will fall off.

Just enjoy driving it.

Li Xiaoran was alone in the hotel and felt relieved.

It's a rare opportunity that I don't have to force my students to cum on me, so I can have a good sleep.

The next night.

The premiere of "Saw".

Usually, there are very few people coming to the premiere of a small movie.

But Saw is different.

The president of New Line and the vice president of Warner were present in person.

As the first producer, Tang Wen moves among all kinds of people in Hollywood.

No one paid any attention to Liu Xiaoli and Liu Qianqian. They found a corner and behaved like a pair of minions.

While her daughter was eating fruit, Liu Xiaoli observed Tang Wen, trying to figure out who was talking to him.

Thus, we can judge his status in Hollywood.

Unfortunately, she didn't know any of them.

Those who spoke to Tang Wen were all directors from major companies. These big men behind the scenes were the ones with real power.

They are the stars who need service.

"Nicole Kidman!"

Finally someone I know came.

After Nicole came in, she went straight to Tang Wen, greeted him, chatted with him for a while, made herself familiar with him, and then left in a hurry.

The person next to Liu Xiaoli said, "Is there a movie coming out for Nicole?"

"Yes, I have a collision with Director Tang. It's tomorrow."

"Then why did you come all this way?"

"Who knows, maybe they knew each other before?"

After Nicole Kidman left, several other stars came one after another.

They all came for Tang Wen.

It’s not necessarily true that we value Tang literature very much, we are just casting a wide net.

The circle is so small, Tang Wen is young and capable, and there is a chance to meet people, so why not come?

Instead of waiting for the producer to get to know you, it’s better to wait at home for the winning lottery ticket to float in through the window!
No one came for the time being, so Tang Wen walked towards Liu Xiaoli and her daughter.

"I'm too busy today and don't have time to entertain you. Is Xixi happy?"

"Don't worry about us, Director Tang, you are busy."

Just seeing the Hollywood stars, one by one they took turns to get to know Tang Wen.

He came to say hello at this time, and Liu Xiaoli was flattered.

Liu Qianqian said sweetly: "I'm happy. Thank you, brother."

Tang Wen handed her a business card, and the little girl took it in a daze: "Brother, I, I don't have a business card."

"Haha, remember my phone number. In the future, whether you are in the United States or in China, if you encounter problems that you cannot solve and no one can help you, you can call me."

"Okay, thank you brother."

Liu Qianqian didn't understand, but when she saw that her mother didn't object, she put it in her purse.

Liu Xiaoli's face turned green: What do you mean when no one asks for help?
You still think I would sell my daughter, right?

Tang Wen glanced at her and said, "Xixi is very cute. She should grow up healthy and happy."

Liu Xiaoli nodded stiffly: You are a very nice person!

He turned and left.

Soon, there was a commotion at the door.

A young blonde girl walked in.

Liu Xiaoli was surprised when she saw who was coming.

If she hadn't had the surgery, she would have had a great figure.

Liu Qianqian didn't feel anything and just lowered her head to continue eating fruit.

"Who is this chick?"

"I don't know, it's so pretty!"

"Look, he's also gone to see that Chinese guy! Damn it, I want to be a producer too!"

"..."

Liu Xiaoli frowned and looked at her daughter.

Liu Qianqian: The cupcakes are really delicious.

"Hi! Hello, Director Tang."

A pleasant voice came, Tang Wen turned around, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

——Scarlett Johansson!
"Hello. Miss Scarlett"

"you know me?"

"I've seen your performance in The Horse Whisperer. It's full of spirit."

Scarlett was quite surprised to see that he was not being perfunctory.

She is now pursuing an artistic career, and the reason she came here today was not because of Tang Wen's "Saw".

It’s because of his status as a Golden Lion director.

The United States does not have enough foundation. In the American art film circle, the three major European film festivals are the palaces of art in the hearts of many people!

The two chatted and laughed happily. Liu Xiaoli curled her lips, feeling a little disappointed for no reason.
It turns out he doesn’t just like older girls…
