Chapter 92: House Hoarding Plan, Net Worth Exposed (5k Subscription Request)
After chatting with the two girls for a while, I found out that Sun Yanzi and Jie Xiaodong were going to sing on stage together.

Zhou Xun sang with Lu Yi and two small groups.

What they sang were not their own masterpieces, nor were they familiar pop songs.

The former sang "Connect with the World" and the latter sang "This Year is So Wonderful"

"Where is the song you wrote for me?" Zhou Xun stretched out his hand.

"You don't wish me well at all, so how can you have the nerve to ask for a song?"

Zhou Xun blinked, then suddenly moved closer to him and said nervously, "Awen, be polite to me. I have something on you!"

Awen?

Tang Wen looked at her in disbelief: "Are you drifting away, or am I unable to lift the knife?"

"Hehe, don't forget that I helped you with the public relations for the award at the Tokyo Film Festival!" Zhou Xun raised his little face, looking proud, as if he had mastered some incredible secret.

Tang Wen laughed: That’s it?
"Who can prove it?"

"Wang Zuxian!" Zhou Xun looked at him with an expression that said, "I'll live off this secret for the rest of my life."

Tang Wen smiled even more happily: "It seems that you don't know yet, Sister Xian has joined my company and became a signed artist under me."

"Impossible!" Zhou Xun stared.

Tang Wen squinted at her and said, "I don't know anything about PR. I've never heard of it. Zuxian doesn't know either. Who do you think was the one who pulled the strings and fooled us?"

Zhou Xun stood there in a daze, his eyes full of confusion: "It's, it's me?"

Looking at her dazed look, Tang Wen sighed: "Brother Xun, your family's money should really be kept with your mother."

A staff member came up to him, but he ignored Zhou Xun.

With Xun'er's IQ, he was not defrauded into bankruptcy simply because of his parents' financial management!

"Director Tang, please come this way. You are not in the country, and the situation has changed. Director Chen needs to talk to you in person."

"it is good."

Tang Wen was puzzled, wondering what had changed.

When he entered the director's studio, the assistant handed him a program list. After glancing at it, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "I have to go on stage three times?"

"Is there something wrong with Director Tang?"

"No, no, it's an honor!"

Today’s Spring Festival Gala has a terrifying ability to create stars.

No matter how big a star is, he or she needs to be taken seriously.

Survey data shows that the ratings of the Spring Festival Gala remain above 95%.

It’s normal when you think about it. On New Year’s Eve, families get together to eat and drink, and they also like to turn on the TV and listen to the Spring Festival Gala as background music.

"Director Tang, you need to go to the studio that afternoon to prepare..."

"Gong Xi Fa Cai", the director team decided on the opening.

Tang Wen and the hosts sang "Gong Xi Fa Cai" at the opening ceremony

The second program was his solo singing of "Yellow Man", with videos of Olympic athletes winning gold and silver medals playing in the background.

Of course, there are also wonderful goal-scoring moments for the Chinese national football team.

Qualifying for this World Cup is the first time in 57 years since China first attempted to qualify for the World Cup in 44.

The last program is a chorus of "Unforgettable Tonight"

All the actors backstage came on stage.

There were several lead singers in front, and Tang Wen was one of them.

He looked at the list of lead singers and found the chief director: "Director Chen, there are only seven people leading the final song "Unforgettable Tonight". Why not make it an even number?"

Chinese people like to travel in pairs.

The same is true when singing on stage.

In the middle of singing, pairs of people should look at each other. The six of them can look at each other.

He is alone, who will he go to?
Director Chen smiled and said, "Indeed, we are planning to send eight people, but we haven't found the right person yet."

At this point, Director Chen suddenly said, "I heard that Miss Wang Zuxian has signed with Director Tang's company?"

"You are well-informed." Tang Wen was surprised.

"Ms. Wang Zuxian has started to accept commercial performances. The videos are all online."

Tang Wen raised the corner of his mouth. Sister Xian started working so soon?
"It seems that your boss doesn't know yet." Director Chen mentioned Wang Zuxian for a reason. She asked tentatively: "If Director Tang can invite Miss Zuxian, you can arrange for you to sing together at the beginning and at the end."

"Well, she has a lot of autonomy. I'll ask if there are any other arrangements."

Tang Wen was willing to let her come, and the opening song was "Gong Xi Fa Cai"

If Wang Zuxian sang on the Spring Festival Gala, he would be more famous and his commercial performance fee would be higher.

After the rehearsal, it was already evening. Tang Wen rehearsed three programs in one go and had no time to eat his lunch.

When I got home, I was so hungry that I had to knock on my neighbor's door.

Yu Feihong cooked two packets of instant noodles, a sausage and two eggs.

After eating the noodles she ordered, Tang Wen returned the favor by giving her some...

The next day, "Hidden in the Dust" was taken off the screen and the final box office was over 3500 million.

For an art film with a heavy subject matter, it is surprising to have such a high box office.

[…Hidden in the Dust is off screen. Completed support for artist weekly news (international third-tier, domestic first-tier) x1]

【Zhou Xun, won the Venice Film Festival (nominated for Best Actress)】

[Zhou Xun's promotion: International third-tier (domestic first-tier) → International second-tier (domestic first-tier)]

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

[Cashback = (film remuneration + director's fee + operating fee...) x 50 = 4000W ()]

Higher than the box office!
Of the total box office of more than 3500 million, theaters took more than half.

Then Blue Star Entertainment, China Film Group, and Shanghai Film Group divided the business.

Even if Tang Wen holds a higher stake, he will not get more than 1000 million after paying taxes.

After thinking for a while, he decided not to keep the money.

It's time to stock up on houses.

At noon, Zhang Ran, Sun Chao and Zhang Yan had dinner.

Tang Wen kept them for a meeting.

He talked about the plan to buy a house and named Sun Chao as the person in charge.

Everyone was confused and didn't know what this had to do with them.

Sun Chao was even more helpless: "You're looking for me to buy a house?"

"This time I'm here to help you make money."

Several people looked at each other. Seeing that Tang Wen was serious, Sun Chao leaned forward and said, "Chairman, please elaborate."

"I will set aside a sum of money specifically for buying old houses."

"Old house, courtyard house?"

Tang Wen took a sip of tea and said, "The city's large-scale demolition is about to begin. Buy an old, dilapidated house and wait for the demolition."

"what?"

“How much money can you really make?”

Tang Wen: "I will invest 4000 million in the first batch. I will tell you a few areas, and you just go and buy."

Opportunity, tell them.

Whether you can grasp it or not depends on yourself.

"Sister Xian has started taking on commercial performances recently?"

"We have performed five shows so far, with an average of 5 per show. The whole process, including singing and interactive hosting, takes no more than two hours," said Zhang Ran.

Singers would be jealous if they knew the price.

Higher than first-line male singers Sun Nan and Liu Huan.

Wang Zuxian has acted in dozens of movies.

The fan base is not comparable to that of ordinary singers.

When they heard that she was attending an event, people born in the 70s dared to skip work, and college students born in the 80s even skipped classes en masse to watch her.

"The performances were held in the capital and Tianjin. There were law enforcement officers on site, so safety was guaranteed."

"Okay, the New Year is prone to chaos, so we'll strengthen security."

First, they were worried about safety, and second, they were afraid that Wang Zuxian would be stuck there and unable to escape.

Wang Zuxian earned almost 100 million, and after deducting the costs, he split the profits % to %.

Tang Wen received more than 20 yuan.

The third system upgrade task is to accumulate 150 million commissions.

As expected, it depends on Wang Zuxian to complete it.

The Spring Festival is coming soon, and there will be more business activities. There will definitely be many people who are willing to spend a lot of money to invite her.

Good news came from China Film Group.

The first round broadcast rights of "Snow Goddess Dragon" were sold to Shanghai TV.

The broadcast time was scheduled for the winter vacation of 2001.

The plot is more martial arts-oriented, and students are a good audience.

Dong Xuan is already preparing for her next role, the female lead in "The Story of a Noble Family".

The original female lead was also an actress named Dong.

Because of wearing a hat later, he became famous in the circle.

Now that Tang Wen is in charge of the project, he naturally won't use her. Dong Xuan's performance ability is not good enough, so just ask the teacher to do it.

After finishing his work at the company, Tang Wen brought with him a local specialty of Los Angeles, a hardcover disc of "Saw", and came to the Beijing Film Academy campus he had not seen for a long time.

As usual, I went to the teachers' office first.

Teacher Li Xuebing joked: "The billionaire is back."

The record-breaking box office of "Saw" was widely reported by Hong Kong and domestic media.

The media were speculating how much of the more than 200 million US dollars in box office revenue Tang Wen would get.

Hong Kong media analyzed that it is at least hundreds of millions.

Two or three hundred million is not impossible.

Domestic media speculation is relatively conservative, thinking that the amount should be tens of millions, but not hundreds of millions.

After all, this was 2001, and according to the Hurun Forbes rankings:

The richest people in China, the Liu brothers, have a total asset of 83 billion.

Chen Feijin has 18 billion, ranking 23rd.

No. 50, worth 9 million.

If Tang Wen is worth over 100 million, wouldn't that make him one of the top names in the country?

Remember, he is only 19!
Netizens were discussing enthusiastically, so Tang Wen arranged for the coders to guide them.

Let netizens know that he doesn’t make much money and going to Hollywood is just a job.

But after the post was published, some netizens who are familiar with the entertainment industry and are inside the circle strongly refuted it.

Tang Wen’s shares in Penguin are worth several million US dollars.

For a movie that grossed over 200 million U.S. dollars, is it possible that the director would get less than 5 or 6 million U.S. dollars?

As long as he can get a share, Tang Wen’s net worth will definitely be over 100 million.

This is very reasonable.

Tang Wen could only let the coders go and make a fuss: "The salary of domestic directors is less than one million RMB. If the money in Hollywood is so easy to make, why don't domestic directors go there?"

"Yes! Explain, explain why domestic directors don't go!"

"Hollywood isn't a charity, why would they give the director so much?"

Netizens in the circle cannot explain it.

You can't say that other directors are too bad, right?

Tang Wen is only 19 years old, and his net worth is tens of millions. This is more in line with the simple thinking of the Chinese people at this time.

It's shocking enough!

Hearing the school teacher also joking, Tang Wen quickly waved his hands and said, "No, I made some money and invested it in movies and TV series."

Teacher Li looked unconvinced.

She was definitely an insider in the industry and had estimated Tang Wen's worth in her mind.

I think hundreds of millions may be conservative.

The two chatted for a while when Director Zhao walked in. Seeing Tang Wen, he smiled and then pretended to be stern and said, "Director Tang Wen, congratulations on getting rich and winning at the Tokyo Film Festival!"

"Director, getting rich is just a rumor. Forget about Tokyo. I just won a Best Actress award."

"Wow!" Director Zhao pointed at Tang Wen and looked at the other teachers:

"Listen, listen, it's the Golden Lion Director after all.

There is only one movie queen in Tokyo.

Tsk tsk, even Director Zhang Yimou wouldn't dare to say that, right? "

The teachers all laughed.

Tang Wen shook his head, saying that the actress received more than 200,000 US dollars in public relations fees.

Not worth saying much.

Director Zhao: "Director Tang, please tell me, when will you hand in your final assignment?"

"Hey? Director, you promised before that as long as I have good grades outside, I don't have to do school homework."

Director Zhao smiled and looked around: "Promised? Who can prove it to you?"

None of the teachers in the room responded.

Tang Wen smiled: "Director, if you have something to say, just tell me directly."

Director Zhao sighed and said:

“It’s not that I have something to do, it’s the head of the acting department and the dean who came to me.

China Film Group organized us to watch the movie "Coffee Time", for which you won the award.

It is not difficult to play the leading female role. As long as the image fits the role, whoever plays the role will win the award.

So, the dean and others asked me to ask Director Tang Wen if he looks down on our Beijing Film Academy students?
It would be fine if your heroine was an outstanding student from the Performance Department of the Central Academy of Drama.

He happened to be a freshman in the directing department.

What do you think our acting teachers will think? "

That's what happened.

Tang Wen shook his head: "Teacher misunderstood. Tang Wei helped me a lot before I became famous. She studied directing, but is better at acting. I just happened to have a script in my hand, and she seemed suitable, so I didn't audition."

Director Zhao nodded and said nothing more.

After all, he is my favorite student. Considering that the dean has asked me to do so, I should just give him some advice.

That would really put Tang Wen in a difficult position.

As the teachers and students were chatting, Director Zhao's phone rang. He picked it up and said to Tang Wen with a smile, "This is our dean calling. Ask Director Tang if it's convenient for us to have dinner tonight."

Tang Wen agreed, left the teacher's office, and went to the sophomore classroom of the Performance Department to find Dong Xuan.

Under Tangren's manipulation, the rumors about him and Tang Wei are still flying around.

I guess Xuan girl has a hard time in school.

"Director Tang! Stop looking at the window and come in." The person teaching the sophomores today is Huang Lei.

As soon as Tang Wen got closer to the window, he was seen by him.

At this time, Teacher Huang had medium-long hair, wore round glasses, and had an artistic temperament.

"Director Tang, please take your seat first. The get out of class will be over in fifteen minutes."

Tang Wen came to Dong Xuan, facing Zhou Yiwei's winks and Zhang Songwen's joyful expression.

A female classmate tactfully stood up and changed seats, giving them to Tang Wen.

Dong Xuan gave him a gentle look, and a spring breeze flowed through her heart.

Blow away the haze called "Tang Wei".

All the sophomores from the Performance Department were there. Tang Wen didn't do anything fancy. He just played with Dong Xuan's little hand and listened to the class.

I listened to half of Huang Lei’s class, but I couldn’t tell what his teaching level was.

However, as a class teacher, he brought out four or five people, including Haiqing and Huang Haibo, to become famous, so his success rate is considered high.

"Director Tang!" Huang Lei walked down from the podium and greeted him, "I've always heard Xiao Xun talk about you. We finally meet today."

Huang Lei and Zhou Xun have worked together several times and have a good relationship.

The occasion was not right, so the two didn't say much. They just exchanged phone numbers and got to know each other.

noon.

Tang Wen invited Dong Xuan and her roommates to have dinner with Zhou Yiwei and Zhang Songwen.

"Director Tang, when will we Xuanzi be cast in a movie?"

At the dinner table, Dong Xuan’s best friend asked boldly.

Tang Wen smiled and said, "Xuan'er will be the female lead in a TV series next."

The girls were filled with envy after hearing this.

Only her best friend started to cheer: "Oh~ Xuan'er."

Dong Xuan pinched her with a red face.

Tang Wen looked at Dong Xuan and said, "I don't care about anything other than the lead role of the crew. If there is a suitable role, you can recommend it to your classmates."

"Okay!" Dong Xuan agreed, looking at Tang Wen with tenderness in his eyes.

She knew that this sentence would definitely get out today.

By then, who knows how many people will try to curry favor with me, and certainly no one will come and act sarcastic just because of some gossip.

After dinner, Tang Wen returned to the company.

Several girls in the dormitory surrounded Dong Xuan at the entrance of the hotel, chattering:

"Sister Xuan, we will all depend on you to support us from now on!"

"Yes, Uzumaki."

"Sister Xuan, do you need my company tonight?"

"..."

In the evening, I met the school dean.

Tang Wen mentioned that Liu Yifei was going to apply for the Beijing Film Academy.

The dean briefly learned about the situation and agreed immediately.

The head of the acting department had no objection either.

She is signed to Tang Wen Company and will soon play the second female lead in "The Story of a Noble Family".

Beijing Film Academy doesn't want to accept such a good talent, so are they going to give it to the Central Academy of Drama?
"You're a little young. Tell your class teacher and ask him to pay more attention to you."

Liu Yifei's admission to school was settled.

Liu Xiaoli has prepared her academic documents and is ready to return home within a week.

In the next few days, Tang Wen was busy signing a contract to buy a house.

The North American movie "Saw" was released as scheduled.

The system returns cash again:

[…"Saw" is out of theaters. Completed support for artist Naomi Watts (Hollywood third-tier) x1]

[Naomi Watts's rise from Hollywood third-tier to Hollywood second-tier]

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

【Cashback = (film remuneration + director fee + operating fee...) x 50 = 750 million ($)】

750 million dollars!
When she signed the contract, Naomi was barely a third-tier actress, and the reasonable market pay was only a few tens of thousands of dollars.

This results in a low cashback base.

Tang Wenben planned to use this money to buy a house in Shanghai.

But when he was processing emails at the company, he looked at his NetEase mailbox and suddenly remembered a famous investment event.

At the end of 2001, someone spent 200 million US dollars to buy NetEase at a bargain price.

It increased 50 times in less than two years.

It would be fine if you didn’t think about it, but how could you let it go if you did?
Tang Wen transferred 300 million US dollars to an American stock manager and told him to buy NetEase.

The manager didn’t understand: NetEase had been weak, no one was optimistic about this stock, and he wasn’t optimistic either.

But the two parties had an agreement that several stock accounts were monitored by a third party. The manager could not use the money to do other things and could only do what Tang Wen said.

"Saw" grossed over 2 million U.S. dollars worldwide.

Among them, there are more than 1 million in North America!

Hollywood newspapers published an astonishing headline: 30000% return rate!

Reporters flocked to the scene, and Robert accepted interviews and took the opportunity to promote the recently completed film "The Butterfly Effect".

He said that the plot design of this movie is better than "Saw", and that it is also a suspense thriller series and will become a series in the future.

Hollywood entertainment media and financial news reported on it for several days in a row, and it was quite lively for a while.

Then, Hong Kong media reprinted the article and mainland media followed suit.

As a result, the discussion about Tang Wen’s worth, which had already begun to heat up, became even more lively!
The media and magazines have always been chasing hot topics.

Reporters surrounded him, trying to find out how much money Tang Wen had made.

Forced into a corner, he hid at home, turning a deaf ear to what was happening outside and concentrating on writing idle books.

It is called a casual book because he wrote a martial arts fan fiction and had no intention of publishing it.

Prepare to cheat for the film and television adaptation rights of the original work.

Unfortunately, there were too many reporters, including some in the Beijing Film Academy community, so Dong Xuan didn't dare to come back to live.

No one takes care of me in life.

Tang Wen forgot about time while writing.

I wrote until dark. I felt hungry and numb all over. I needed some exercise.

"clap clap"

He knocked on the door of the young woman next door.

"Hey! The billionaire is here?"

Tang Wen ignored what she said, closed the door and hugged the person!
