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

Chapter 148 The hit song "Baby" is released

Chapter 148 The hit song "Baby" is released (please subscribe)
The competition among peers is naked.

Some people clearly know that they can’t sell tickets because their skills are not good enough.

But he was thinking of hanging Yu Qian in the crosstalk garden across the street.

But what's the use?
You should be unable to sell the tickets, or you should be unable to sell them.

If you deserve to starve to death, you will starve to death.

The same is true in Hollywood.

Seeing other people’s movies become a huge success is even more painful than losing money yourself!
What's more, the movies released at the same time are in direct competition with "The Butterfly Effect".

After the first weekend, there were voices of doubt on the day.

"R-rated films outstrip family-friendly movies, professionals point out that there may be box office fraud"

A few tabloids made groundless accusations.

Scarlett saw this headline while having lunch.

I deliberately turned this side of the newspaper over and threw it aside.

But Tang Wen's face became serious.

He took the newspaper and read it carefully.

"Honey, there's always someone jealous." Scarlett picked up a sandwich and licked the milk at the corner of her mouth playfully.

Tang Wen was not so relaxed. He looked around and his voice became low and magnetic:
"Scarlett, women and children can be careless, but men can't."

"Wo--, it seems you like "The Godfather". I also like the performances of Marlon Brando and Al Pacino." Scarlett raised her eyebrows with a smile.

An 18-year-old girl, even though she is an old actress.

But her family background and her mother who is a producer have saved her from many dark sides.

The problem is still relatively superficial.

What Tang Wen said was exactly the classic line from Vito Corleone, the godfather of the Mafia family in "The Godfather".

Classics are classics.

It's not just about the acting and the plot, but also about its guiding significance for certain things in reality.

For example, Mr. Li Xuejian, in a Republic of China play, said: "If you don't take it, how can I take it..."

To a certain extent, it reveals the principles of progress at that time.

In Tang Wen's view, this is a test from competitors, and a prelude to sniping and shady attacks from other large companies.

Unlike when "Saw" was released, the large-scale "flash mob" event was refreshing.

The promotion of "The Butterfly Effect" is a combination of punches.

Its greatest heat is brought by North American hurricanes.

This is a double-edged sword!

Of course it brought a lot of heat.

But hurricanes are ultimately a disaster for many Americans!
If someone could take advantage of this and spend a little money, they could gather Americans who like to protest to boycott the movie.

By then, the situation will be difficult to handle.

After a brief hesitation, Tang Wen did not avoid Scarlett and her mother at the next table.

Call Robert in front of them.

The voices on the other end were sticky and it sounded like there was more than one woman making some lewd sounds.

Apparently, this guy was celebrating last night.

"Tang! We win..."

"Robert Booker!" Tang Wen called out his full name.

Robert, who was hungover, shuddered and sobered up. He went into the bathroom and washed his face with cold water: "What happened?"

"Someone is attacking us."

"what?"

Tang Wen put the problem simply: "We need a donation plan."

"Donate to the tornado-affected areas?"

Donations in the United States are tax deductible, and the two are not opposed to it.

Tang Wen: "That's right, send people to the hardest hit areas, shoot some documentary shorts, and hand over cash directly to the people who are most affected..."

Scarlett glanced at her mother, her green eyes filled with pride!
Winner of the Golden Lion Award, twice set the R-rated North American box office record, who is this young, mysterious and handsome oriental guy?
That's right.

It's my Scarlett Johansson boyfriend!
Scarlett's mother smiled at her daughter.

Scarlett went straight over and whispered to her mother:

“Don is really mature and stable, Mom!

I think you don't have to follow me anymore and should pay more attention to your sister and brother.

They need you more.”

Scarlett's sister and brother are also artists, but their careers are average.

The flowers have come to their senses.

But her mother followed her every day and even slept in the same room with her in the hotel.

It makes the flowers look big...

Scarlett's mother's mouth twitched: Is it okay to think that mom is in the way?
Don't go!

I will never leave.

The resources at home are limited, and I think the role of your sister and brother will fall on your boyfriend.

When he realizes this, I will leave.

Tang Wen stood by the window, not noticing the mother and daughter's movements, and continued to talk about his donation plan:
“We need to film more of the poor people’s grateful expressions. Gather together the disaster victims of all ethnicities, men, women, and children of all ages from Asia, Africa, and Latin America, and let them thank the crew!”

"Yeah," Robert on the other end of the phone tore off the hotel's note paper and wrote down the key words one by one.

Tang Wen: "We promise that we will donate a certain amount of profit from every box office ticket. We will tie "The Butterfly Effect" to the disaster-stricken areas. In a word: watching movies is doing good deeds! It is helping our compatriots affected by the disaster!"

The plan is finally finished.

He sat back at the table and took a sip of sparkling water.

I've talked so much that I'm thirsty.

"Great idea, Don." Robert said, thinking for a while, then lowered his voice:

“It’s fine to donate to the poor.

However, donations cannot be mainly given to the poor affected by disasters.

It can’t even be donated primarily to those affected by the disaster.”

Tang Wen was speechless.

Robert added: "More money should be donated to local charities, MPs, media reporters, union representatives, opinion leaders... They are the ones who really need the money!"

Tang Wen was speechless: It is you American capitalists who know how to deal with Americans!

"Okay, just go ahead and do it. I want to focus more on my work!"

After saying this, before hanging up the phone, he seemed to remember something and added:
"Hold a script contest with plots about vampires and werewolves, and the winner will receive a $20 reward!"

It wasn't something he came up with suddenly on a whim.

These two days, Scarlett and her mother lived opposite him at night.

Tang Wen could neither eat the big bear girl nor steal her beauty.

I'm so bored at night that I can only focus on my business.

Before going to bed yesterday, he thought about how to complete the system's task of praising people.

It is not easy to promote a female star to the level of "Gong Li", "Zhang Manyu" or "Julia Roberts".

Scarlett will have to wait until the Marvel Universe is over before she can achieve her goal.

As for Fan Bingbing, Gao Yuanyuan and Chen in China, it is even more difficult to see them succeed.

In fact, it is relatively easy to promote male stars.

In movies, the male lead usually has more roles and is more important than the female lead.

It's difficult to support a female star.

Julia Roberts's salary of 2000 million US dollars is a reward for all her achievements in her career.

She accumulated it bit by bit.

It is almost impossible for other actresses to replicate this.

Then,

Why not try to be the leading actress in a hit movie series?

As long as the movies continue to make profits, after making a few more, they can naturally shout out the super high salary of "2000 million US dollars".

After thinking for half a night, Tang Wen thought of "Underworld" which will be released in 03.

Movies about vampires and werewolves.

It perfectly meets Tang Wen's needs of praising people.

This film was shot in five parts.

The English Rose, Kate Belserkin starred in four of them.

Although the ratings are getting worse and worse, the revenue and commercial value created are in no way inferior to some A-level productions.

The only problem is that the play was written and directed by the director himself along with two screenwriters.

The filming took place in September this year.

And now it is May.

The script must have been written earlier.

Tang Wen didn't want to just start copying, so he decided to organize a script competition with a designated theme.

See if we can lure out the director and screenwriter who is also the editor.

Let him come to me with the script.

After hanging up the phone, Scarlett carried the dinner tray and sat next to Tang Wen from the opposite side: "You want to shoot a vampire movie?"

"It doesn't have to be me. Fantasy themes have been very popular in the past two years. If the script is good, it can make money."

night.

Many people were waiting in front of the MTV North American channel as scheduled. One reason was that last night's preview had new songs and new MVs to be released.

Secondly, overseas coders take turns to lead the trend online 24 hours a day, praising how famous Tang Wen is in Asia and how good his songs are:
“I’m a high school student and I have a cousin who works at a music radio station, and he heard the songs that were going to be played tonight in advance!
Bet me that it is an absolute classic and will definitely be very popular among girls.

Let me watch the MV tonight, buy an album and give it to the girl I’m courting at school tomorrow. I’ll definitely get her a date…”

With the cooperation of the coders.
