Huayu’s ex-husband

Chapter 299 298. All the gifts given by fate have already been secretly marked with prices

"Did Sister Bingbing take a day off today?"

Jing Tian came to the set this morning, but didn't see Fan Bingbing. She had come early every day in the past month, why was she late today? So Jing Tian asked Wei Wu.

Wei Wu nodded and said, "Well, she went to Taiwan to participate in the Golden Horse Awards."

Since the last conversation with Wei Wu, Fan Bingbing's work enthusiasm has increased greatly in the past month, and it can be said that she has used all her strength.

If the Golden Horse Awards ceremony was not about to be held on December 8, this tube of chicken blood would probably last until Fan Bingbing finished filming.

Jing Tian asked casually: "I remember you were also selected for the Best Director? Why didn't you go with them?"

Wei Wu shrugged and said frankly: "This year's Best Director award must go to Li An. Who can compete with him?"

Jing Tian suddenly realized: "That's right. The box office of "Lust, Caution" is so good, and Li An is from Taiwan. This award will definitely not go to others!"

Now "Lust, Caution" has been withdrawn from the theaters in both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong and Taiwan. The box office is similar to the previous life. It has won more than 100 million box office in the mainland, and it is the first in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

If there is no "Painted Skin", this year's most popular movie should be this movie.

Wei Wu suddenly raised his eyebrows: "Did you go to see this movie?"

Jing Tian lowered his head and fiddled with his heels. His slightly red cheeks revealed an inexplicable shyness.

Wei Wu laughed, and his wretched uncle side reappeared. Seeing the girl blushing, he felt quite satisfied.

Just through more than a month of getting along, Wei Wu had already figured out Jing Tian's feelings about him.

Jing Tian's feelings towards him are like those of a little fangirl towards her idol.

It's just like an ordinary star-chasing girl, with admiration, infatuation, and some love.

It's a bit similar to Mao Xiaotong, but not exactly the same. Mao Xiaotong lacks love and admires the strong, but Jing Tian is just a simple star chaser.

Although their starting points are different, they both have the same goal, which is to fall in love with Wei Wu.

Finally, Jing Tian's mind is understood. Wei Wu has decided that the next subsystem host is her.

However, she is about to finish filming, so Wei Wu plans to give it to her when she finishes filming.

Hearing Wei Wu's laughter, Jing Tian stamped her feet shyly and scolded:

"Director!"

The blush on her face is like a delicate peach blossom, shy and cute, making people want to touch her cheek.

Although she was teased by Wei Wu, Jing Tian didn't feel disgusted, and even felt a little happy.

Being able to joke with her like this shows that the relationship between the two has become much closer.

In public, and in a work setting, Wei Wu naturally stopped when he saw the good news:

"Well, go ahead and watch it! This movie has 2-3 million viewers in the mainland alone, one more or one less won't make a difference. Since it's already been released, are we still afraid of you watching?

And the version we released in the mainland has been cut, and it's said to be 7 minutes shorter than the Hong Kong and Taiwan version."

Jing Tian really didn't know: "Really?"

"Yeah," Wei Wu thought to himself, I've seen the uncut version, how could this be false?

After a few words, Jing Tian's complexion gradually returned to normal, and she was completely relaxed. She began to chat with Wei Wu about the heroine of "Lust, Caution":

"Tang Wei became famous overnight. It is said that Pond's invited her to be the spokesperson, and the endorsement fee was as high as 6 million!"

Wei Wu nodded: "Yes, Pond's Glacier Cleansing Mud, the endorsement fee is 6 million for two years, and this is also Tang Wei's first advertisement since "Lust, Caution."

Tang Wei really "became famous overnight". An advertisement endorsement was as high as 6 million. What is the concept?

You should know that Liu Tianxian endorsed Montblanc before, and it was only 7 million for two years.

In 2009, Shu Qi endorsed Friso essential oil, and the endorsement fee was only 3.5 million (usually two years).

And as early as 2008, Shu Qi's most well-known masterpiece "If You Are the One" had been released.

In other words, Shu Qi at this time was already a genuine first-line movie star.

During the same period, Gigi Leung endorsed FANCL masks for six consecutive years, and the endorsement fee was only 2 million.

By comparing them, we can see how outrageous this endorsement fee of 6 million is!

It is no exaggeration to say that among the current female stars, except Zhang Ziyi, Gong Li, Fan Bingbing and Liu Tianxian, it is basically impossible for anyone else to get such an advertising fee quotation.

So it can also be said that in terms of commercial value, Tang Wei is now an absolute first-line celebrity.

One movie turned her from a passerby to a first-line celebrity. Although the price is indeed very high, it does not affect Tang Wei from becoming the envy of many actresses now.

How popular is Tang Wei now?

Let’s put it this way. In the previous life, Lu Chuan once broke a piece of explosive news. He said that the reason why Tang Wei was banned was because a competing actress lobbied senior executives and used public opinion to carry out lynching and sentenced Tang Wei to life imprisonment.

The competing actress he was talking about was of course Zhang Ziyi.

You have to know that Zhang Ziyi in 2007 was the top actress in the domestic entertainment industry! Tang Wei could actually pose a threat to her and even become a strong competitor, which shows how strong her momentum is!

Wei Wu smiled and teased her: "Why do you envy her?"

Jing Tian said without hesitation: "Yes, who wouldn't envy her? She became famous overnight and made a lot of money!"

"If Li An asked you to play Wang Jiazhi, would you go?"

Jing Tian hesitated for a moment and said, "Well, probably not."

Wei Wu spread his hands and said: "So, if you give up, you will gain!"

Jing Tian nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, I heard that many female celebrities went for interviews, but most of them left on their own. Only Tang Wei stayed."

Wei Wu suddenly said in a deep voice: "Have you ever heard of a saying that all gifts given by fate have their prices secretly marked?"

Jing Tian didn't know why: "What do you mean?"

Wei Wu explained a little: "Don't think that taking off her clothes is the price of her overnight fame.

"In that case, the effort and reward are not proportional at all. Just wait and see, she will have to continue to pay off the debt!"

"What's the debt?"

Wei Wu smiled and said nothing, and could only say that the secret must not be leaked.

If the timeline does not change, then Jing Tian should know how Tang Wei will pay off the debt three months later!

In a previous life, on March 3, 2008, just five months after "Lust, Caution" was released, Radio and Television suddenly issued a notice:

It is strictly forbidden to include vulgar and low-level content to create a more harmonious and greener movie environment.

Four days later, a piece of news spread among the major media:

"Tang Wei has been banned!"

Both Tang Wei's advertisements and endorsements were removed from the shelves, and the video was also removed by the TV station.

The incident caused an uproar in the city, so on March 11, Zhang Haitao, deputy bureau of radio, film and television, responded directly:

"This policy is not right for the situation but for the people!"

At this point, the official conclusion is finally made: Tang Wei has been banned!

The reason for the ban is simple and straightforward:

It’s not advisable to become famous immediately! The evil tendencies must be stopped!

Relevant units have also received instructions from their superiors:

"All radio and television news, special topics, literature, advertising, live broadcasts and other types of programs are prohibited from reporting or hyping anything related to Tang Wei."

As a result, apart from Tang Wei, those who suffered the greatest losses were the advertisers who asked her to speak for themselves.

So of course these advertisers turned around and sued Tang Wei for compensation. It is said that in the end Tang Wei not only returned the previous fees in full, but also sold the house in Yanjing, which finally settled the matter.

Of course, the biggest loss for Tang Wei was the top film resources that were handed to her during this period:

Including Zhang Yimou's "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins", Tian Zhuangzhuang's "Wolf Disaster", Gu Changwei's "Xanadu", and "The Mummy 3", etc.

This is almost the real price Tang Wei paid for his rise to fame.

But that's not all. The audience popularity she lost due to starring in large-scale dramas also caused irreversible and lasting damage to her.

How could the actress put the clothes she took off back on again? How can we take marketing words seriously?

Originally, the price for her might have been even higher. In other words, from now on, it will no longer be possible to conduct performing arts activities in the mainland.

Although it is a soft ban, if the ban is not lifted, won't it continue to be banned?

The biggest reason why Tang Wei was banned for only two years before being lifted was because many people complained about her back then.

The entire "Lust, Caution" crew, including producer Jiang Zhiru, director Li Eu, and leading actors Liang Chaowei, Chen Chong and others, almost all publicly stood up to the challenge and spoke out for Tang Wei.

Well, except Wang Lihong.

In addition, Feng Xiaogang, Xie Fei, Lu Chuan and others also took the initiative to stand up for Tang Wei.

And netizens have also followed up. If Tang Wei is to be banned, he should be banned together with Liang Chaowei, and director Li Eu must also treat them equally.

The truth is that this is indeed true, but the problem is that Li Yu is from Taiwan and Liang Chaowei is from Hong Kong. 2008 happens to be the year of the Olympics. At that time, it is even more necessary to unite the front, so it is really difficult to do this.

The other one is Tang Wei himself who is unlucky.

Just two months before Tang Wei was banned, the most sensational "XX Gate" incident in the entertainment industry broke out because of a computer repair.

The people who eat melons are like opening the door to a new world, which has since subverted the image of the entire entertainment industry.

That is, from that time on, when people talk about the entertainment industry, they always think of scenes of debauchery and sensuality.

The entertainment industry is already in such chaos, but now that Tang Wei has become famous, it is hard to say that other actresses will not follow suit.

If you make a large-scale film, you can become famous overnight, and then you can earn 6 million by making an advertisement...

Even if there are really not many young actresses, they can resist this temptation.

I believe that at this time, in countless corners of the entertainment industry, there may be N actresses who are eager for quick success and directors with malicious intentions, and they are actively discussing whether to take off their clothes or not. It seems that taking off their clothes is the first step to becoming famous.

Therefore, in order to suppress the unhealthy trends that are growing wildly in the entertainment industry, the radio and television can only use Tang Wei to scare the monkeys and set the record straight. Its influence is greater than the punishment.

In troubled times, important codes should be used!

Therefore, Tang Wei was severely punished, and there was really no way to complain on her behalf. I could only say that she was just in time to catch the gun.

What's more, she wasn't banned permanently. She was only banned for two years, and then she was released.

As for the fact that Tang Wei couldn't survive in China and went to Bangzi to develop, it seems to have nothing to do with this ban.

After all, after she was lifted from the ban, she was quite popular for a time, and basically she was not treated badly in terms of film and television resources or awards.

As for her later change of career path and going abroad, it was purely because her acting skills could not beat her competitors, such as the four Dan and Shuang Bing, so she had to find another way.

Wei Wu quickly put Tang Wei out of his mind. After all, he didn't have any new films and was going to ask Tang Wei to act in them.

Then another day passed. The next night, Wei Wu was checking the work schedule for the next day in the hotel. Suddenly, the phone on the table vibrated.

There should be a new text message coming in, so Wei Wu stretched and took a look.

Sure enough, a new text message just arrived in the inbox, from Fan Bingbing:

"Boss, I won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actress! Well, I won't tell you for now, I'm going to give my acceptance speech!"

You may be surprised that Fan Bingbing was sitting in the front row of the awards ceremony, and she had to go on stage immediately when the award presenter read her name.

How could she type such a long string of text messages in such a short time of at most tens of seconds?

In fact, the reason is very simple, because this text message was edited before, and she clicked send in one second when she heard that she won the award.

Of course, if she didn't win, then she wouldn't send it! Can a living person be killed by holding their urine?

Fan Bingbing was probably still giving her acceptance speech at this moment, so Wei Wu replied to her:

[Congratulations, I'm proud of you, young queen! ]

Originally, this paragraph should be in English:

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!SO PROUD OF YOU YOUNG (Woman with a Crown)!!!!!!!

But Wei Wu was afraid that she wouldn't understand, so he gave up.

Fan Bingbing won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actress, which means that her number of Best Actress trophies has tied with Zhang Ziyi.

Zhang Ziyi has Golden Rooster + Hundred Flowers + Huabiao + Golden Image Awards; Fan Bingbing has Golden Rooster + Hundred Flowers + Huabiao + Golden Horse Awards.

Fan Bingbing is now tied with Zhang Ziyi in terms of awards, and has surpassed Zhang Ziyi in terms of popularity and fame.

Now we can basically say with confidence that Fan Bingbing will officially take over from Zhang Ziyi to become the new number one in the domestic entertainment industry!

Of course, this can be said at this stage, but Zhang Ziyi may not agree.

If Zhang Ziyi is to be convinced and completely admit defeat, she may have to wait until "The Forbidden Kingdom" is released.

But Wei Wu knows that "The Forbidden Kingdom" is not Zhang Ziyi's savior, but the last straw that breaks the camel's back.

After a while, Fan Bingbing sent Wei Wu another new text message:

[Thank you, by the way, I have a good news to report to you. You also won the award for Best Action Design. I also accepted the award on your behalf and gave a speech as you instructed before. ]

Wei Wu immediately replied:

[OK, you have worked hard]

Won the Golden Horse Award for Best Action Design, which means that the mid-air knife kicking action designed by Wei Wu for Zhao Wenzhuo was so handsome that even the Golden Horse Award judges on the other side of the strait were impressed!

If possible, Wei Wu would of course like to change to another nomination:

Best Director of the Golden Horse Award.

Alas, it's a pity that it can't be changed.

But it's better than nothing, at least it's a consolation prize.
