Dominating Hollywood: Starting with Scarlett

Chapter 102 Vulgar Joke
  During the dinner, Kujin, as the only source of income and an adult male in the family, was sitting at the head seat at the end of the long table, eating with his family.

His wife is sitting next to him, and not far away are two daughters and a son. The eldest among them is only 16 years old, which is the time when hormones are secreted.

Everyone lowered their heads in silence, picking at the hummus on the plate, listening to the sound on the TV, without saying a word.

Obviously dinner time is the best time for family members to strengthen their relationship, but there is no warm atmosphere at Kujin's house. Instead, there is a strange silence surrounding everyone.

Kujin put down his wine glass, touched his red rosacea, and said in a stern tone while chewing bread: "Who spilled the ketchup in the kitchen today?"

The children stopped holding the spoons in their hands and looked at each other with confused and uneasy expressions on their faces.

"Aren't you going to tell me? I won't do anything to you if you tell me." Ku Jin poured himself another glass of wine. He looked like a loving father, but the children secretly clenched the spoons, looking very nervous. nervous.

"Well, it seems that no one is willing to say it. If I find out..." Ku Jin did not say the result, but everyone invariably looked at the belt hanging on the wall.

Ku Jin rolled his neck and wiped his mouth with a napkin: "Still no one said anything, then I'll ask them one by one, Raph..."

"Pfft!" Suddenly a loud fart interrupted his words.

"Damn it! Who is it!" Ku Jin frowned, and Raph, the youngest child, immediately shook his head: "Father, it wasn't me who farted!"

"That is……"

"Not us either!" The other two children also shook their heads hastily.

Ku Jin could only look at his wife: "I didn't expect you to be quite bold..."

"Fart, Ku Jin, it's not me! You fart yourself!" Unexpectedly, his wife also retorted.

Ku Jin said irritably: "Get out of here, of course not!"

"Poof!" Suddenly, the sound sounded again. This time, several people heard the source clearly. They turned around and saw that the fart sound came from the TV!
  It turned out that an advertisement for Heinz ketchup was playing on the TV. Just like Culkin and the others, a father in a red sweater was sitting at the head of the long table, squeezing the ketchup in his hand.

The fart sound was coming from the ketchup bottle.

"Pfft!" The voice was direct and immediately aroused the reaction of the family in the advertisement.

"Hahahaha!" Everyone laughed.

The father spread his hands and said, "This is not me, it's a ketchup bottle."

"Are you sure? Dad? Hahaha!" The daughter expressed doubts, and his wife also laughed.

"Of course I'm sure, because I won't fart during family dinners." The father explained seriously: "I'm not that kind of person."

"Yes, Dad, we all know." The son nodded, but then there was a narration and the scene of everyone laughing behind his back exposed all this.

"They say they believe you, but you know what they think, and it makes every family gathering hell."

The man was sitting alone on the sofa, looking depressed.

The next second, the narrator changed the topic: "But not anymore. Let me introduce Heinz 'Relaxation' to you. It is still your favorite ketchup, and it doesn't make weird noises."

"Now when you squeeze the bottle, it just lets out a sigh of relief. This year's party will be very different."

After the narration ended, the scene transitioned to the second year. This time, the father was wearing a yellow sweater, sitting in the same position as last year, still holding ketchup in his hand.

The relatives and children around were chatting happily.

But when he squeezed the ketchup bottle hard and squeezed it out, a woman's comfortable moan suddenly reached everyone's ears, causing everyone's eating movements and expressions to stop.

"What sound!" The daughter's face was full of questions.

"That's just the soothing sound of Heinz Relaxation." The father said proudly and squeezed several times.

Women's moans continued to come from the bottle. Everyone was stunned for a moment.

"It sounds like..." A relative frowned.

But his father answered: "Relaxing sigh, I know."

Then he placed more bottles of Heinz sauce on the table, and with each bottle squeezed, a different groan came from them.

The mix of men and women is both embarrassing and funny.

After hearing this, the son's eyes wandered and he said, "Mom, can I leave for a while?"

"of course."

As soon as the mother finished speaking, she saw her son standing up with a bottle of ketchup, and quickly asked: "Wait, what are you doing with that thing?"

The son looked down at Ketchup: "My room?"

"No! Put it down!" the mother screamed, trying to stop her child from going astray and wasting toilet paper.

But the father looked appreciative: "My boy likes ketchup, just like his father."

Canned laughter breaks out at the right time, along with Culkin's roar of laughter.

"Hahahaha!" Ku Jin laughed like a 200-pound child, still holding ketchup in his hand and squeezing it: "It's so funny, how could Heinz's ketchup make such a sound... I have to buy some tomorrow. Give it a try." "Hahaha..." Several children also laughed, especially the youngest son Raph who laughed the most.

"Do you like ketchup, Raph?" Culkin asked, smiling.

"Of course, Dad." Raph nodded quickly.

"My boy likes ketchup, just like his dad! Hahaha!" Ku Jin seemed to have forgotten the question just now, and his mind was filled with the groaning sound of the ketchup bottle.

There are many similar to this one. Although this advertisement is quite vulgar, I have to admit that it is very down-to-earth, easy to see and understand.

Everyone watching will have expectations for the Heinz ketchup bottle, maybe it will actually let out a "relaxing sigh."

So in the next few days, the sales of Heinz's various sauces increased sharply. Henry couldn't help but smile at the rising data every day. He even discussed the feasibility of developing such a relaxing bottle with the senior management at a meeting.

At the same time, the sales growth of rival Deshi's sauces suddenly slowed down and was surpassed by Heinz.

Because of this advertisement, the name of Supreme Creative has become more and more famous in the industry, and many customers have taken the initiative to ask for cooperation.

However, Tang De's current focus is not on the company. He bought many newspapers at home and is reading various interviews in the Hollywood circle.

In the past few days, the bullying incident on the set of "Chicago" has changed from Dion's unilateral accusation to a confrontation between the pros and cons.

A member of the props team refuted Dion's statement in the magazine: "In fact, the reason why Dion left was because he hindered the normal progress of the filming. We did not bully him or use verbal violence against him."

Photography assistant Feimos also accepted an interview with the newspaper and said: "We used film to shoot. Everyone knows how expensive film is, and the cost of movies is increasing every moment. But Dion shot a lot of useless shots. And he kept quibbling when Assistant Director Tang pointed it out, and he didn’t admit his mistake until we saw the finished film! This kind of photographer should be boycotted by the entire industry.”

Producer Belt also accepted an interview with reporters and said: "In fact, we did not fire Dion. He chose to leave on his own. He violated the contract we agreed on. We will go to court to prosecute him."

As soon as these remarks came out, the direction of the discussion immediately improved. Although ordinary readers were discussing whether the crew's behavior was consistent with verbal violence and bullying, major film companies expressed their intention to blacklist Dion.

No one needs a photographer who doesn't do his job well but wants to launch newspapers to attack the crew.

When Dion submitted several resumes without response, he became aware of the situation he was facing, so he began to publish more frequently in newspapers.

Everything he said was badmouthing "Chicago".

"They ruined this classic show and it's unpalatable to watch!"

"From directing to cinematography, he doesn't have much artistic talent, he's just mediocre."

"Assistant director Tang has no experience at all and treats the crew members badly."

"The camera design is not aesthetically pleasing, and the choreography is also quite perfunctory. Don't buy a ticket to see it."

It has to be said that many people really like to read these pessimistic news, which has led to Dion making a lot of money from interviews during this period and becoming more and more rampant.

Even though Belt has appealed and is facing a trial, Dieng is not afraid at all.

This made director Rob very angry. "Chicago" was his hard work. He spent too many days and nights designing those dances and shots. He didn't allow anyone to dictate it.

So one weekend, he finally couldn't bear it and expressed his thoughts to the reporter's interview pen: "Chicago will be recorded in the history of musicals. I am extremely confident that this film can win an Oscar." What a success. In addition, the crew and staff are also great. They are the best talents in Hollywood!"

His original intention was just to boost the confidence of the audience, but in the eyes of the media who were just watching the excitement and not taking it too seriously, this was just a public outcry, playing into their own agenda.

So the reports that followed in the next few days were all about director Rob's rhetoric.

"Rob Marshall declares 'Chicago' the best picture at the Oscars."

"Rob Marshall thinks 'Chicago' will be the biggest Oscar winner."

"The director of "Chicago" boasted that the film was a 'monument in the history of musicals.'"

"'Chicago' is comparable to 'Singin' in the Rain'? The director is full of confidence!"

Apparently journalism never disappoints when it comes to twisting semantics. Of course, in addition to these outrageous ones, there are also many normal media outlets, but their general views on "Chicago" tend to be more disparaging and contemptuous.

"The "Chicago" movie may be a money-making project, and the former cinematographer revealed that it has poor aesthetics."

"Shoddy and well-produced, the mystery of "Chicago" has yet to be revealed in theaters."

"If 'Chicago' turns out to be a bad movie, fans of the show say they will take aggressive measures against the show's crew."

When Tang De saw the last item, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. America's people are really simple and simple. If you can use physics, you will never be unreasonable.

However, he also noticed from such a large number of interviews that someone seemed to be adding fuel to the flames. After all, black and red are also red. Maybe Miramax executives wanted to use this to expand the film's reputation.

When he thought about the founder of Miramax, Harvey Weinstein, Tang De clicked his tongue twice and didn't think it was strange at all.

However, even if the hype continues, Dion's small actions have come to an end, because the major media have turned their attention to another more gimmick news, in which a black actor claimed that he encountered racial discrimination.

Newspaper space has been given to the actor these days, and Dion has fallen out of favor.

Tang De put down the newspaper, packed up his clothes, and prepared to attend the party that Richard invited him to.

Richard told him that he had to attend this party, and that custody would open his eyes. He wanted to know what this party was like.
