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

Chapter 91: Helping Tang Wen, won’t my merits be deducted? (5k subscription required)
"Director Tang, don't worry. Love is a compulsory course in the process of growing up." Joey Wong is kind-hearted and couldn't help but comfort Tang Wen.

"Growing up is painful, Sister Xian, I don't want to grow up."

I just want to hide in your soft arms and cry.

Tang Wen added: "Sister Xian, you don't have to be so polite, just call me Tang Wen."

"Since you call me Sister Xian, I will be generous and call you Ah Wen."

Tang Wen: Then you are indeed too confident.

After a moment of silence, Wang Zuxian looked at Tang Wen, who was still discouraged, and said with some difficulty: "Maybe I have a way."

"What?" Tang Wen didn't react.

"Dealing with your angry girlfriend."

"Sister Xian, please speak quickly." Tang Wen's eyes were full of eagerness.

Wang Zuxian: "...You should avoid messing with girls in the future."

"They provoked me."

Wang Zuxian shook his head and said, "You know the voice actor, right?"

Ok?
What about voice actors?
"She, they are angry because of Tang Wei. Find a voice actor who is good at imitating other people's voices and let her pretend to be Tang Wei's voice..."

Wang Zuxian's voice became lower and lower.

She has already regretted it: I believe in Buddhism, so Buddha will not deduct my merits, right?

"Sister Xian, you are simply a genius!"

Tang Wen's eyes became brighter and brighter. He hugged Wang Zuxian excitedly and kissed her on the face.

After the kiss, he finally reacted: "Sorry, Xianjie, I'm used to it."

Wang Zuxian:?

The hanging heart was completely dead.

If I help him, my merits will definitely be deducted!
Tang Wen took out his phone and called Sun Chao: "Brother, it's urgent!"

Sun Chao felt a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart: "Wait, are you going to say next--"

"It's time to test you! My love life has failed. If you don't come, I will die in Japan!"

"Are you still a human being? I'm single. Find someone else to trouble you. Don't you have a secretary?"

Tang Wen ignored what he said and arranged the tasks on his own.

He had long seen through Sun Chao. He knew that he was sensible, efficient and righteous.

If I don't harm him, well, who else can I turn to for help in an emergency?

After hearing this, Sun Chao wanted to hang Tang Wen up and beat him up, but he could only say helplessly:
“…find a ventriloquist or voice artist who is good at imitating other people’s accents, right?

Sign a non-disclosure agreement and fly to Tokyo as fast as you can?

Your plan sounds a bit unreliable!

What will you do if they don’t abide by the agreement and are exposed? "

The cautious Sun Chao noticed the loophole.

In a hurry, Tang Wen couldn't think of a better way: "Do you have anything to add?"

Sun Chao: "You are the director, sign an actor agreement in addition to the confidentiality agreement.

Then shoot a video and tell the dubbing artist that this is a photo shoot.”

Tang Wen repeatedly affirmed: "Okay, okay! I know I'm right to find you!"

Sun Chao took action overnight.

Voice actors are easy to find. Broadcasting, radio and film studios all have dubbing departments.

But he thought about it and decided not to look for an experienced veteran.

Instead, he made a phone call and made an appointment with two student union presidents from the Broadcasting Department.

The studio's part-time typists come from major universities and various industries.

In order to facilitate his work at school, Sun Chao made friends with people like student presidents and counselors.

I was busy all night and listened to a lot of assignments from the Broadcasting Department.

After comparing their voices with Tang Wei's in "18 Years Old Sky", Sun Chao selected three people.

They were contacted at dawn.

The compensation is good and I can go to Tokyo for two days.

The three girls were very excited.

But they have no connection with Sun Chao, let alone trust.

The three girls didn’t know each other and were not from the same school.

It is inevitable to have some concerns about safety.

At this time, the school connections that Sun Chao had made in advance came in handy again.

The three counselors and the student union president came forward to endorse it.

Sun Chao gave half of the compensation in advance, and the three female classmates finally felt relieved.

Through the travel agency, I boarded a flight to Tokyo that day.

When they met, Tang Wen gave her a big hug:
"Brother! You are really reliable!"

After a sleepless night, Sun Chao was too tired to argue with him. He waved his hand tiredly and said, "Take it easy on yourself in the future."

Tang Wen booked rooms on different floors of the hotel and explained the play to the three girls.

As for Tang Wei, he was dragged out shopping by his wingman Wang Zuxian.

"The content of the play is to pretend that Tokyo Film Queen Tang Wei called my girlfriend to apologize..."

The three girls were young and inexperienced, and the person sitting opposite them was the internationally renowned director Tang Wen, so they didn't think too much about it.

Under his guidance of lines.

Practice seriously.

In the evening, Tang Wen selected the best one and chose the girl whose voice matched the most and who spoke the lines most naturally.

He called Gao Yuanyuan first.

Da Meiyu was angry and called several times before she finally got through.

She spoke fiercely, "What's wrong? You brought back your Tokyo Film Queen!"

"I brought it into the hotel room. Wait a minute. They want to apologize to you."

"what?"

Da Meiyuan was not prepared at all when she heard Tang Wen say to someone across from her:

"Tang Wei, my girlfriend Yuanyuan."

A few seconds later, a female voice sounded: "Hello, Sister Yuanyuan, I'm sorry, I'm busy with my schedule and can't go to Beijing to apologize to you in person..."

Gao Yuanyuan had heard Tang Wei's acceptance speech and watched her interview, and had some impression of her voice.

He didn't hear anything unusual at this time and immediately became flustered.

"Ah, hello, I don't need that."

"Haha, I understand. If I had a boyfriend as good as Director Tang, I would also be worried. I was so excited when the award was presented. This is my first movie. I never thought I could win the Best Actress award..."

Hearing the other party's Versailles attitude, Gao Yuanyuan felt a little uncomfortable again.

However, she was quite satisfied that the Tokyo Film Queen apologized to her.

Although I haven't seen him in person, I know that it is impossible for Tang Wen to find someone in Tokyo whose voice sounds like Tang Wei to call him.

He spoke so clearly and articulated his feelings about winning the award so well.

Therefore, there should really be no problem between the two of them.

At least, Tang Wen has no feelings for Tang Wei.

Gao Yuanyuan was just thinking, "Tang Wei" said something full of girlish scheming immediately:
"I really envy Sister Yuanyuan for finding a boyfriend as talented and loving as Director Tang. Director Tang really cares about you, it makes me jealous! I really want to meet you and learn how you did it..."

Gao Yuanyuan was getting angry: Who is the scheming woman between Yin and Yang?
But after all, she had misunderstood him, and she had to take care of Tang Wen's face, so she could only endure it: "He loves me enough, so he can do it naturally."

"Haha, love——"

"Tang Wei" drew out the voice, as if mocking her for believing in love at such an old age.

Gao Yuanyuan endured it again and again.

Tang Wen's voice sounded at the right time: "Okay, okay, Xiao Wei, go and have a rest. Thank you for your help."

The call didn't hang up.

boom!
The sound of a door closing came from the other end of the phone, followed by Tang Wen's voice:
"Are you satisfied? It's all right now. In less than two days, I'm afraid the news about my girlfriend will spread all over the country."

Gao Yuanyuan blushed and said embarrassedly: "Who asked her to kiss you?"

"The young actor was too excited. I couldn't even push him away. Didn't you watch the video?"

"I saw it and thought you were hugging her."

"Hold her and I'll put my hands on her shoulders? Wait till I get back and settle the score with you."

At this point, Tang Wen frowned. His schedule was very tight. The crew in Hollywood had been set up and was waiting for him to go back to film.

"Then, then I'm sorry?" Gao Yuanyuan's momentum weakened.

After resolving Gao Yuanyuan's car rollover crisis.

Tang Wen breathed a sigh of relief. As for Dong Xuan, he called her and everything was normal.

He didn't make any trouble.

Just go back and reward Aunt Feihong well.

The Tokyo Film Festival is over.

Tang Wei flew back to Shanghai, and the Tang people arranged a lot of work for her.

Taking advantage of the popularity of the Tokyo Film Festival, she will be busy for a while.

As long as I'm lucky enough, I can star in two excellent dramas.

In the next two years, Tang Wei is expected to become a domestic first-tier player.

Tang Wen took time out to return to the capital and signed a music contract with Wang Zuxian.

In accordance with Wang Zuxian's request, no high-profile publicity was carried out.

After the signing, only an internal company celebration party was held.

That night, Tang Wen bought a first-class ticket and flew to America.

"Welcome back!"

"Suprise!"

Scarlett came to pick up Tang Wen with a bouquet of flowers.

Tang Wen felt relieved that he didn't bring other women with him.

He took the flowers and walked forward to hug her slender waist.

Scarlett is definitely a show of skill by the American actress.

She has a plump figure and a thin waist.

The white men passing by looked at Tang Wen with unfriendly eyes!

After getting in the car and being close to each other for a while, Tang Wen took out the gift he bought in Tokyo.

A four-leaf clover necklace.

"Please help me bring it."

Scarlett turned around and looked from Tang Wen's perspective. It was bottomless.

After a long pause, the necklace was finally put on. Tang Wen reached out and pressed the electric switch, and a barrier rose behind the driver's seat, separating them from the driver.

"Sir? What do you want to do?" Scarlett covered her chest with her hands and blinked her eyes.

But it would be more accurate to say that she was supporting with her hands rather than covering.

The already tempting neckline is squeezed to make people want to commit a crime even more.

Tang Wen silently extended his hand, and Scarlett did not resist at all, but said, "No, Director, I'm a high school student!"

"High school?" He stared at it and said with a wicked smile, "Scarlett, no one will believe it."

After a while, Scarlett put on her lipstick, snuggled into his arms, and said distressedly, "It's too big and annoying. How about I get a breast reduction surgery?"

"What?!" Tang Wen's voice rose eight octaves: "No! Absolutely not! How can there be such an evil surgery in the world? The person who invented this procedure should be shot."

Galaxy Entertainment Inc.

Tang Wen met Scarlett's family, her mother, sister and her brother.

"They insisted on coming over to take a look. I hope you don't mind." Scarlett took Tang Wen's hand and said softly.

Scarlett's sister, Vanessa Johnson, is 21 years old and is also a beauty.

Although she does not have Scarlett's broad mind, she is equally good-looking. She is 175cm tall and has long legs, a head taller than Scarlett.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Scarlett's mother said, "Tang, we need to talk about Scarlett's contract."

"Okay, how much pay does Scarlett want?" Tang Wen asked casually.

Scarlett's mother didn't hesitate and quoted a high price: "15 US dollars."

Scarlett was dissatisfied: "Mom, I only got 3 from the Horse Whisperer!"

“It was a commercial film, and that was three or four years ago.”

"Scarlett, don't say anything." Tang Wen frowned and looked at her mother: "So little?"

"What?" Scarlett's mother didn't understand.

Scarlett explained: "I have been acting in stage plays over the years. Before The Horse Whisperer, I had almost no representative works in movies."

"So, what kind of star are you now?"

“I don’t think I can be called a star…”

"Three lines!"

Her mother interrupted her self-denial: "Scarlett is a third-tier star. She has been nominated for awards more than once."

Tang Wen apologized, walked out the door, and asked Robert about the pay range for third-tier stars.

Inside the house, sister Vanessa joked with Scarlett: "You can't get a big contract, your boyfriend is very frugal."

Scarlett rolled her eyes at her.

Within two minutes, Tang Wen came back and said, "Scarlett is barely a third-tier star now, about $20."

Vanessa, who was about to laugh at her sister, froze.

Scarlett's mother was stunned for a moment, then looked at Tang Wen with a look that asked, "Did I hear it wrong?"

Scarlett jumped off the sofa and rushed over to hug him: "Thank you, Tang, but you don't have to give me so much!"

"many?"

Tang Wen looked at her with dismay:
"You have to work hard, Scarlett!

A truly good actor should not only have awards or box office success.

Who is the most successful actress in the United States right now? "

Sister Vanessa answered first: "Julia Roberts, the first female star in the 2000 million club."

"Yes, she also won the Oscar for Best Actress."

Scarlett has never lacked money since she was a child, and she wants to pursue awards even more: "Will you help me win the award?"

"Of course, it's not just about winning awards, it's also about the box office."

Scarlett stood on tiptoe and kissed him directly.

Tang Wen: This is the first time I kissed someone's daughter in front of her mother...

The contract is signed.

Scarlett's mother was completely relieved: "Tang, thank you for your generosity."

"No, ma'am, I'm not generous. I will deduct the extra pay from Scarlett from the male lead."

The male actors cannot give themselves rebates, so of course they try to push the prices as low as possible.

Everyone laughed, and Scarlett's mother complimented him, "It seems you are a qualified producer!"

"Of course, I'm only generous to my girlfriend."

That night, Tang Wen, as the host, invited the Si family to dinner.

At the dinner table, while her sister was in the bathroom, her elder sister Vanessa mustered up the courage to say, "Director Tang, if there is a suitable role in the future, can you consider me?"

"No problem at all."

This person was not famous in his previous life, and his acting skills and abilities were probably not that good.

But Tang Wen has a lot of low-budget movies on his hands.

With low budget, it is destined that we cannot invite big stars, so it doesn’t matter who is cast.

Maybe after the performance, Vanessa can be promoted to a higher level and get a higher cash back.

On the second day of the date, Scarlett learned the news and said unhappily, "Why did you agree to my sister?"

Tang Wen was surprised: "Because she is your sister?"

"Just like that? Because of me?"

"of course."

"Hmph, you're the best!" Scarlett tilted her head back and bit his lips.

The wonderful scenes in "The Butterfly Effect" are all about the male lead.

Scarlett doesn't have many scenes and her acting isn't very challenging.

Tang Wen decided to focus on filming her scenes first.

The main thing is that she can only look but not eat. She is here and cannot eat secretly. It is too uncomfortable to endure it.

In order to achieve happiness, he showed super high efficiency.

Just seven days after booting up.

Scarlett finished filming.

"My dear, you are so fast!"

Tang Wen put his arm around her waist and said viciously, "Next year I'll let you know whether I'm fast or not."

After staying on the crew for another two days, Scarlett was reluctantly taken back to New York by her mother.

As soon as they got in the car, Tang Wen immediately picked up the phone:
"Come over in the evening."

"Director Tang finally remembered me." Naomi Watts is in Los Angeles.

After Scarlett left, drag racing became a daily activity.

At the same time, the progress of "The Butterfly Effect" has not been slowed down.

The drama received a high score of 8.9 on Douban.

It's a classic.

Since it was a classic, he was too lazy to bother deleting or revising it.

Anyway, if it can be successful, just restore the original version one by one.

Half a month after Scarlett left, the crew finished filming.

If it hadn't taken some time to film the child actors.

The completion time can be faster.

"Don! You're such a quick shooter!"

"Son of B! Your whole family is a quick shooter."

Senior executives from many companies attended the wrap party.

Warner and Universal, two of the six major Hollywood studios, also came.

The six are firmly at the top of Hollywood, at the top of the food chain.

They have global distribution capabilities, and overseas distribution conditions are more stringent.

To put it bluntly, it means knowing how to exploit the producers.

The two sides talked about it, and Tang Wen did not agree to let them distribute the film.

The overseas charges of the two companies are more unreasonable than the other.

The film has not been edited yet, so it is too early to talk about its release.

The profitability of his project is obvious to all, and there are more than just two companies willing to cooperate with him.

"The Butterfly Effect" has finished filming.

"Saw 1" is about to be completely removed from the screen, with only a few theaters still showing it.

The current global box office stands at 2 million US dollars.

The North American box office was over 1 million, which is a miracle among miracles compared to the million-dollar cost!
"Unfortunately, the box office was weak and could not compare to "Hannibal"," Tang Wen was not very satisfied.

Another R-rated film, "Hannibal," grossed over $3 million worldwide.

“Tang! You are already a god!
Hannibal simply took advantage of its sequel.

Next year, Saw 2 will surely beat it!"

The cinema’s first share of profits arrived at the company’s account.

Looking at the series of "0", Robert was very excited.

His share is low, but the total box office is high.

He now feels that cooperating with Tang Wen is the best decision he has ever made in his life!
One movie is worth many years of hard work at New Line!
"I have to go back home."

The Spring Festival Gala rehearsal is about to begin.

No matter how big a star you are, if you want to be on the Spring Festival Gala, you have to go through at least three rehearsals.

"Okay," Robert shrugged, and then said, "The Greek Wedding that you asked me to invest in has recently been edited. Are you sure there is a market for this movie in the United States?"

Galaxy Entertainment has money in its account.

Robert is always looking for new projects to invest in.

However, his investment required Tang Wen's final signature, and most of them were rejected.

Only Greek Wedding was approved to invest, accounting for approximately 30% of the shares.

"I read the script. It's a comedy style, which Americans will not reject. You'll know when it comes out next year." Greek Wedding is also a box office maker that made a lot of money with a small investment.

"OK, I'll follow your instructions on the content."

The director and producer of Greek Wedding held the first screening, but Tang Wen missed it.

He flew back to China and hurried to the backstage of the Spring Festival Gala.

"Director Tang, you're here too?"

Tang Wen looked up and saw Sun Yanzi's pretty face.

Not only her, but also her "good brother" Zhou Xun was there.

Seeing Tang Wen appearing alive and kicking, her face was full of regret.
