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

Chapter 89 Wang Zuxian: Director Tang always surprises people (Subscribe)
"Director Tang, I'm sorry to have caused you a lot of trouble recently!"

As soon as he entered the door, Wang Zuxian bowed deeply.

"The Hong Kong media is just writing nonsense! Ms. Wang, please get up. A little gossip is nothing."

Seeing that she didn't get up, Tang Wen stepped forward and gently supported her.

He was not really angry when the Hong Kong media hyped him and Wang Zuxian.

The more scandals there are, the more stable the personality is.

I can also explain to every girlfriend with confidence: I have had scandals with all the beautiful female stars, does that mean I have had an affair with all of them?

The two walked into the living room, the butler set out the refreshments and left.

After a moment of silence, Tang Wen spoke up: "Ms. Wang, did you come here specially to apologize?"

"Actually, there's one more thing."

"You said."

“Although I have announced that I will retire from acting, I still want to sing.”

Tang Wen smiled and said, "You are so young, it is a good thing to pursue music."

"Excuse me, Director Tang, can I join your company?"

"What?" Tang Wen: "I don't have a company in Hong Kong."

"I mean the capital."

Tang Wen looked at her in surprise. You broke up and stopped acting. Shouldn’t you go to Canada to hide?
She bought a lot of properties there and is definitely a rich woman.

"I have been pursuing music for so many years, but my singing has always been mocked by the Hong Kong media. Qi Qin claimed to have tailored an album for me, but the result was just that. I really wanted to give up, but then I met you."

Tang Wen could understand this feeling.

In his previous life, he was ready to give up the film and television industry, but in order to cope with the contract, the short drama he shot suddenly became popular.

"Are you willing to take on commercial performances?"

“Not too often.”

Then there's something to talk about.

The company's newly signed actors Zhang Liangying and Wang Xinling are currently receiving training at the company.

Even if you are a little famous, you don't have much time to go out and perform.
The album progress was very slow as music director Zhang Yadong was busy with music and his divorce.

Even though Gao Yuanyuan became Tang Wen's person.

Zhang Yadong's marriage finally came to an end.

All I can say is, it was destined to be so.

I don’t know when Miss Xu will appear by his side.

The albums of Jane Zhang and Xinling Wang will not be completed until early next year at the earliest.

This is actually the normal production speed for an album.

System tasks, earn 150 million in share.

If we rely on them two, the earliest we can expect success will be next year.

Since Wang Zuxian is willing to take on some commercial performances.

Perhaps, the task of earning commission can be completed by Wang Zuxian?

However, a star of her level joined the company.

Even in the area of ​​music which she is least good at.

It is also impossible to allow others to exploit you.

A 9:1 profit-sharing contract is a normal contract.

Tang Wen was thinking, what if the company only took 10%.

If Wang Zuxian goes for a commercial performance and has two hit songs, it would be no problem for him to ask for 100,000 or 200,000 yuan.

"Ms. Wang, if you really want to join us, of course you can. I will fund the establishment of a studio for you and arrange staff for you. They will serve you, and you can sing to pay them."

What he was talking about was the artist studio model that was common in the entertainment industry in later generations.

Wang Zuxian was quite impressed: "Okay, I'm willing to try."

"Then the score should be 91."

"Me 9?"

Tang Wen was speechless: "If you are willing to give me 90%, I have no problem with that."

Wang Zuxian smiled and waved his hands: "Too many, 73 is fine. Otherwise, I'm afraid that Director Tang will not be motivated to write songs for me."

That 30% can quickly complete the system task, so he agreed: "Okay, let's say this for now. I'll write a song for you."

Tang Wen got up and went to the office area, got some paper and pen, and asked the housekeeper for a guitar.

Look at him concentrating on writing on the spot.

Wang Zuxian opened his mouth wide, his eyes looked at him as if he was looking at a monster, and even his voice became sharp: "Director Tang? What do you mean! Is this how you usually write songs?"

Before Tang Wen could answer, a voice interrupted:

"Eh? Miss Wang, you're here too." Huo Wenxi came over: "Did I disturb you?"

She blinked and looked between the two of them.

Wang Zuxian smiled embarrassedly: "Well, Director Tang just surprised me!"

"Yeah!" Huo Wenxi felt the same way: "He always surprises me too."

Wang Zuxian was dressed neatly, so Tang Wen must have just surprised her.

Tang Wen:......

Hey, stop talking.

You two are talking about completely different things!
“Well, I just write songs.”

Tang Wen winked at Huo Wenxi.

The top assistant Huo Wenxi immediately realized that he had misunderstood.

There was a sly flash in his eyes, and he said deliberately: "So this is where you get your inspiration."

Tang Wen:......

Wang Zuxian was not stupid either, and he noticed that something seemed wrong between the two of them.

He began to look back and forth between Huo Wenxi and Tang Wen.

"Sit down and listen to the song to celebrate Miss Wang Zuxian joining our Blue Star Entertainment."

Huo Wenxi was surprised: "You joined Director Tang's company?"

Isn't it off the screen?

Is there something going on between you two?
When the guitar sounded, the two women stopped talking.

“You’ve seen a lot of beautiful sights.

You have seen many beautiful women..."

This song is Chen Qizhen's famous work "The Meaning of Travel"

I have won several awards, and the key is that it is not difficult to sing.

After all, Wang Zuxian's musical talent is really average.

"..."

"But I can't tell you which expression of mine you appreciate

You can't tell me when I distracted you."

"..."

Wang Zuxian looked at Tang Wen quietly, listened to the singing and thought about love.

Her love is not as romantic as in the songs.

In the end, don’t even think about finding the meaning, it will just explode on the spot.

Yes, because he has a child.

Huo Wenxi appreciates it from a completely different perspective.

She has no unforgettable love.

But many of his artists, such as Xie Tingfeng, Twins, and Joey Yung, are all singers.

When it comes to music, it’s impossible not to understand it.

The direction she understands is not style innovation or anything like that.

It's the market.

That’s the popular direction.

She studies every popular song.

As she listened, she judged: It’s not easy for this song to become a big hit, but it’s not difficult to make a name for itself.

Many sophisticated girls and literary young women particularly like this style.

If I give it to my subordinate Zheng Xiyi to sing, it will probably be of great help to her.

Can attract a group of loyal fans...

I have to say, her analysis was very accurate.

This song was never a huge hit, but more than ten or twenty years later, it still has many listeners who like it.

Has stood the test of time.

"How about this song for me?" Huo Wenxi threw a coquettish glance at Tang Wen.

Immersed in his emotions, Wang Zuxian didn't care about being sad anymore. He frowned and said, "Miss Huo, this song was written for me by our President Tang."

"Really? That's a pity."

Wang Zuxian raised his eyebrows and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

It's not a pity to give it to you, but it's a pity to give it to me?

If she hadn't been concerned about Tang Wen's presence, she would have started a fight.

Even though she was once named "the most popular actress among reporters", she is good-tempered in public and has never lost her temper.

Actually, he is not easy to mess with in private.

Huo Wenxi seemed not to realize that his words were ambiguous and didn't even say an apology.

Tang Wen coughed and said, "You're not going to make a debut, so why are you making trouble?"

Although this was an accusation against Huo Wenxi, Wang Zuxian felt inexplicably uncomfortable: How come they knew each other so well?
Tang Wen looked at Wang Zuxian again and said, "I'll give you the lyrics and music! When we get back to Beijing, I'll ask Zhang Yadong to help you record the song."

Wang Zuxian glanced at Huo Wenxi behind him and nodded gently: "Thank you, Mr. Tang. I'll treat you to dinner."

Huo Wenxi: "I have already arranged dinner. Sorry, Sister Xian."

The two women obviously don't get along.

There may not be any reason.

After a few awkward conversations, Wang Zuxian lost the upper hand and made an appointment with Tang Wen to meet at the Tokyo Film Festival and go to Beijing together to sign the contract.

Wang Zuxian didn't let Tang Wen see him out, but Huo Wenxi followed him to the elevator.

She didn't get on the elevator. Wang Zuxian stared at her and asked, "Are you going to stay here tonight?"

"Mr. Tang won't let me leave."

"Haha." Wang Zuxian looked her up and down and thought, Ms. Tang is also hungry.

Huo Wenxi did not refute. When the elevator door was about to close, he suddenly smiled evilly: "Your President Tang is awesome!" Wang Zuxian: "..."

at night.

Tang Wen asked Huo Wenxi: "What are you doing against Wang Zuxian?"

"Nothing, I just wanted to see what your relationship is." Huo Wenxi drew circles lazily.

"That's not like you. Your emotional intelligence and IQ are so high."

"In fact, I was scolded by paparazzi and tabloids a long time ago, saying that I was not as good as a hair of hers..."

Tang Wenben planned to stay in Hong Kong for two days and leave after confirming Andy Lau's schedule.

Unexpectedly, by chance, I voted for "Infernal Affairs"

Andy Lau and Yang Shoucheng insisted on inviting him to attend the press conference together.

As the main investor, Tang Wen had no choice but to agree.

I heard that the investment of 20 million will boost the Hong Kong film industry.

The reporters applauded wildly.

This means that the crew will have a lot of material to dig into.

The names of the four leading actors were announced at the press conference: Andy Lau, Danny Leung, Peter Leung and Eric Tsang.

The Hong Kong reporters were even more excited.

Yang Shoucheng and Zeng Zhiwei don't get along, but how can they still work together?
With four big names gathered together, how much news will this drama generate!
May everyone have a happy new year!

Compared to the original version, the two actresses have also been replaced.

Gao Yuanyuan replaced Hong Kong's wealthy princess Kelly Chen.

The princess replaced Zheng Xiuwen and played Andy Lau's girlfriend in the play.

She is much more popular than Sammi Cheng and her acting skills are not bad either.

"Yuanyuan, your man is really nice. He found a role for me."

"What, Sister Fei? What happened to Tang Wen?"

"You don't know? Haha, you're coming to Hong Kong to act."

When the two were on the phone, Tang Wen had already arrived in Los Angeles.

I passed by a newsstand and bought a few entertainment newspapers.

[A new miracle of low-budget movies - "Saw"]

["Saw" box office exceeds 1 million US dollars]

"Tang, my friend! You are finally back!"

Tang Wen dodged Robert's hug and stuffed the newspaper into his hand.

"I helped you take care of that old guy from the Tokyo Film Festival! You won't even give me a hug to practice on?"

"Well done. I'll give you a chance to treat me to a meal."

The temperature in Los Angeles is slightly lower today.

Tang Wen got into the car first.

This time, I came to shoot "The Butterfly Effect"

The "butterfly effect" comes from mathematician and meteorologist Edward Lorenz.

He said during his speech:

A butterfly in the Amazon rainforest occasionally flapping its wings may cause a huge tornado in Texas, USA two weeks later.

Along with this famous metaphor.

The term "butterfly effect" has spread around the world.

Tang Wen was particularly impressed by this sentence.

When he first saw it, his first thought was to go to the Amazon rainforest to raise butterflies.

Wouldn’t it be great if millions of butterflies could flap their wings together every day?
"The Butterfly Effect, not talking about male actors, do you have any choice for female actors?

The script outline includes the heroine's teenage years. Can your girlfriend play that role?"

"She is more like an adult heroine." Scarlett's strength cannot be hidden.

That night, Tang Wen called Scarlett who was far away in New York.

Scarlett asked curiously, and he explained for half an hour, what is the butterfly effect?

Why doesn't the United States go to the rain forest and kill all the butterflies?

"Let the heroine audition first."

The next day, Tang Wen gave Robert instructions with a tired look on his face.

Scarlett didn't say she wouldn't take the role, but she came from a drama background and was an artistic girl.

I'm not very interested in suspense films.

Later, I went to shoot "Iron Man" only because it was too difficult to make art films.

News of Tang Wen’s new film casting spread.

Many people came to inquire about the situation, including some famous actresses.

But when they learned that the female lead had relatively few roles and was a complete supporting role, they lost interest.

"Hollywood is so realistic." Tang Wen didn't care.

"If you're Spielberg, the truck driver, even if it's a supporting role, there are stars vying for it."

Two days passed.

Scarlett, who was not interested at first, called again:

"My dear, I have decided to take over your role."

"what happened?"

"I don't want to go to school." A 17-year-old girl is worried about her studies.

Tang Wen said with a smile: "Are you sure? The play requires makeup to make you look older and ugly."

"I have ten years of acting experience and I am a professional actor. But can you not watch the scenes where I act ugly?"

"Haha...let your mother sign the contract."

New York, dinner time.

Scarlett's whole family sat around the table.

It's rare for the whole family to be at home.

Parents, Scarlett's brothers and sisters were all there.

"Mom, Dad," Scarlett announced, "I can't go to school tomorrow."

"Scarlett!" Mother said in a serious voice, "We agreed on this."

"Plans cannot keep up with changes." Scarlett was very confident.

"What changes?"

"I got the role, the female lead."

Vanessa, the actress sister who remained silent, looked up with a look of suspicion.

Looking at her daughter's proud expression, Scarlett's mother guessed, "Don's new play? Is your age appropriate?"

"He can change his age!" Scarlett didn't say that she wanted to make herself ugly and put on old makeup.

Scarlett's mother: "Really? Tang is a Golden Lion director, will he do this for you?"

"It's not an art film. I'm his girlfriend. Don't you think he will agree to this little request?"

This time, except Scarlett's mother.

The family couldn't hold it anymore.

Brother: “Do you have a boyfriend?”

Sister: "The Golden Lion Award-winning director is your boyfriend. How old is he?"

Brother: “When did it happen?”

"..."

Scarlett smirked.

She deliberately asked her mother to keep it a secret just for today.

Los Angeles, Beverly Hills.

Naomi Watts: "Did you forget that we signed two films and only made one?"

Tang Wen, who had entered the state of a sage, refused very readily: "This play is not suitable. Besides, I will start filming soon. Do you have time?"

Seeing his firm tone, Naomi said nothing more, and her blonde hair quietly disappeared under the blanket.

The news that miracle director Tang Wen is preparing a new play has appeared in many entertainment newspapers.

But he didn't wait for Scarlett to come and sign the contract.

Liu Xiaoli and her daughter arrived first.

"Director Tang, I want Xixi to develop along the path you mentioned and sign a contract with your company."

"Yes, director brother, I want to act and be an actor." Liu Qianqian said timidly.

"Let's talk slowly."

Liu Qianqian and the maid were sent to the yard to play in the water.

Liu Xiaoli took the initiative to say, "Director Tang, I won't let Xixi recognize a godfather. I want her to develop in the film and television industry cleanly."

Tang Wen smiled and said, "This clause should be written into the contract."

"If someone throws dirty water..."

"The company will sue until the other party publicly apologizes, or until the other party goes bankrupt."

"That's good."

"Xixi has a long future. I will start training her now and sign a very long contract. Is that acceptable to you?"

"how long?"

"20."

"No, I can't agree to this! Ten years at most." Liu Xiaoli was anxious.

Tang Wen smiled and asked, "Do you know Zhang Henshui?"

Liu Xiaoli thought for a moment and asked, "Who is the author of The Golden Age?"

"A Noble Family is going to be adapted into a TV series with an investment of 20 million. I plan to let Xixi play the second female lead, Bai Xiuzhu."

Liu Xiaoli was moved and realized that she had made the right choice by coming to see Tang Wen.

She started out as the second female lead in a big-budget adapted drama.

This is a resource that Chen Feijin could never find even with a lantern.

"The worst role for me, Sissi, is the second female lead. I am planning to seek the adaptation rights for Jin Yong's novels, and then, Sissi will also be the heroine."

Liu Xiaoli was in a dilemma: "But 20 years, 20 years! That's her best years, is 15 years enough?"

Tang Wen refused to give in: "She has given her the best years of her life, and I will give her the best training."

After chatting for a long time, Liu Xiaoli still couldn't make up her mind.
