Dominating Hollywood: Starting with Scarlett

Chapter 115 Martial Arts Training
  The reason why Tang De was so interested in Raymond's posthumous song was of course not just because of the counterattack. In fact, Badman and Davis had agreed to give Tang De 50% of the proceeds from the entire song.

In other words, after the song is released, excluding the music company's part, Tang De will get 50% of the remaining money and future profits.

On the one hand, Badman did this because he had no hope for Ramon's music, and on the other hand, he was grateful to Tang De for his willingness to shoot the MV.

After all, they had only sold a few thousand copies of similar music before, so there was no way they could make money.

But Tang De found some potential in this song, whether it was the lyrics or the rhythm. Although it was terrible, it was very brainwashing. The analogy is that domestic love is like fire, which removes the earthy smell and gives a direct pleasure.

In Tang De's opinion, maybe this song had the potential to become a hit, so he spent a lot of effort and planned to take a gamble.

Three days later, Jessica Alba's martial arts training officially began.

In order to show the effect Tang De wanted, she must receive training from a professional movement coach and practice relevant movements within half a month to achieve a level of physical fitness.

To this end, Tang De invited Luo Lixian's entire team to train Jessica according to the movie's standards.

At the same time, he also explained to Luo Lixian in detail the effects he wanted. He did not need those gorgeous postures. All his movements pursued practicality and directness, focusing on a crisp and clean approach.

Luo Lixian said that there is no problem with this. His team is all professional martial arts masters. These dragon and tiger martial arts masters from the golden age of Hong Kong all master a variety of styles. They may not reach the master level, but there is no problem with the professional level. .

So with a wave of his hand, Tang De directly hired three martial artists to accompany Jessica in training every day. As for the expenses, Boss Badman paid for them.

After seeing this kind of battle, Jessica was very excited at first, saying that she would meet the requirements as quickly as possible and become a competent "female killer."

But just two days later, when Tang Delai was watching at the training ground, he found that the excitement on her face had long since disappeared. She would lie on the mat and take time to rest after each practice. Obviously, she could no longer shout any slogans.

"Huh." She was slumped on the mat wearing a black sports vest and gray yoga pants, her chest rising and falling as she breathed and exhaled, and large beads of sweat slipped from her skin and dripped on the mat, forming dark spots. trace.

Tang De saw this and smiled: "Jessica, are you tired?"

"Nonsense, of course!" After getting acquainted with Tang De, Jessica showed her casual side, or she no longer had the strength to pretend at this time.

"I still remember someone saying a few days ago that these were just a side dish."

"I'm looking down on you... But if you come to practice, it's the same, maybe you're not as good as me." Jessica glanced at Tang De angrily.

"Really?" After what she said, Tang De also became interested, and immediately called Tom to practice fighting skills on the mat near her.

If we say that the techniques Luo Lixian taught Jessica were more for the sake of the screen, paying more attention to the smoothness and coherence of movements, and often a set of movements was completed in one go. Then what Tom taught Tang De was more simple and direct, chokehold, finger cutting, kicking, and egg hitting, all in order to make the opponent lose the ability to resist as quickly as possible.

In addition to these, Tang De also asked Tom to teach him how to draw a gun quickly. After all, times have changed, and it is useless to be able to shoot in front of a gun.

In the evening, when Jessica finished training, she saw that he was still gesticulating against the dummy, and his movements were very brutal. She couldn't help but ask, "Do you have a grudge against someone?"

"Why do you ask that?" Tang De hit the dummy with a chokehold, making Jessica tremble with fear.

"It always feels like every move and every move you make is aimed at the vital point."

Tang De smiled and said, "Yes, but this is just for self-protection."

"Protect yourself?"

Tang De turned to look at Jessica: "In addition to these, I also know how to do regular Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu."

Jessica made a naked hanging posture: "Is this like this?"

"Yeah...that's right." Tang De gave a thumbs up: "It seems you can do it too."

"Haha, I don't know how. I just saw it on a fighting show." After Jessica said this, she said goodbye to Tang De and left the training ground.

For the next period of time, Tang De and Jessica spent time at the training ground, chatting face to face every day, chatting about life, work, and music videos. Jessica already knew very well the effect Tang De wanted to present.

And Tang De also knew about her family situation.

Her father is of Mexican origin, and her mother is from a French and Danish-Canadian family, so she is born with multi-national ancestry. She also has a younger brother named Joshua.

However, her path to becoming an actress was not smooth sailing. Due to her father's work, she moved around California, Mississippi, Texas and other places since she was a child. She was not good at school and had poor relationships with friends.

She wanted to be an actress when she was 5 years old, but her family didn't allow her to attend an acting school until she was 12 years old.

In this way, she plunged into the big dye vat of Hollywood, until now.

Fortunately, she was lucky enough to be spotted by many directors and starred in Cameron's works.

It's just that her acting path is relatively fixed, and she feels this herself, so she always wants to try to break through.

However, through conversations with Jessica and combined with her subsequent situation, Tang De knew that she lacked Scarlett's drive to climb up, otherwise she would not leave Hollywood easily even if she encountered setbacks.

After understanding her character, the communication between Tang De and Jessica became smoother and smoother.

Now we eat and practice together at the training ground every day. I have to say that being in the same room with such a beautiful woman with a sweet smile makes Tang De feel several years younger. Soon, Jessica's training entered the day of acceptance.

Tang De was sitting on the mat at this time, watching Jessica wave the Tang Dao in her hand and perform a set of concise and fierce sword techniques under the command of the martial arts master.

During the drill, Jessica also used her voice to boost momentum.

"Drink! Ha!"

The light reflected by the blade flashed in front of Tang De's eyes. After seeing the complete set of sword techniques, Tang De shook his head: "I think there is something wrong with the second and fifth moves..."

He put forward a lot of opinions from the perspective of photographers and directors. After these opinions were digested by the martial arts master, Jessica was corrected.

The next day, Jessica practiced again.

But Tang De still didn't pass, which made her a little discouraged. But looking at Tang De's serious expression, she knew that she couldn't change her decision and could only continue to practice hard.

Two days passed in a hurry, and Jessica tried her best to practice each pose to her limit. She followed the sound of "ha ha" and her forehead and back were soaked with sweat.

Then she looked at Tang De with expectant eyes, and found that after Tang De pondered for a while, he suddenly clapped his hands: "Very good, Jessica, you passed."

"Yeah!" Jessica raised the knife and cheered, feeling that her efforts during this period were finally in vain.

Tang De looked at her, thinking that it was time to start shooting the MV.

Of course, real martial arts training won't be so fast, but the moves that can be shown in a MV are enough, and the rest can be made up by the camera.

"Boss, when will the fees for the delay of a few days be settled?" After Jessica finished celebrating, Wu Zhi came over and asked.

"Don't worry, the money will be in your account next week." These dragon and tiger martial arts masters are used to using cash. After coming to the United States, they were not used to the culture of using cards here.

"Okay, boss, let's go first." After receiving Tang De's promise, the martial arts commanders left one after another.

When the training venue was empty, Jessica was still lying on the mat to rest.

"Jessica, our shooting will start the day after tomorrow." Tang De came to her and looked down at her. She was still wearing the same close-fitting sports bra, but it was changed to white. With her healthy wheat complexion and smooth muscle lines, she looked Really like a female boxer in the ring.

"Really? Give me a hand." Jessica stretched out a hand, and Tang De grabbed it and pulled it up.

It's just that Jessica didn't let go after getting up. Instead, she hugged Tang De's neck and tried to knock Tang De down!
  But she miscalculated. Tang De, who had been trained by Tom, was very skilled in this controlled state. He subconsciously hugged Jessica's waist, then directly picked her up from the waist and threw her on the mat!
  So the two of them were stacked face to face, Tang De's face was pressed against Jessica's chest, and the tip of his nose instantly smelled the faint jasmine smell on Jessica's body, which should be the smell of some kind of shower gel.

Jessica, on the other hand, held Tang De's head and clamped his thighs with her legs, as if she was deliberately making Tang De listen to her heartbeat in an ambiguous position.

After the two of them maintained this posture for a while, Tang De looked up at Jessica's face and found that the sweet-looking girl's eyes were staring at him motionless. It wasn't until they looked at each other that Jessica came back to her senses and let go: "I didn't expect you to be so alert."

Tang De got up from her and said with a smile: "My training these days is not in vain."

Jessica did not let Tang pull her this time, and stood up by herself: "By the way, how long will the MV shooting take? I will join the group next month, and there are new movies coming to me."

"Don't worry, it will be soon." Tang De did not intend to delay the MV for long, because the production of The Devil Wears Prada was about to start filming, and he, the art director, was about to join the team.

So he wants to take advantage of the last few days to finish filming the MV.

And when he said goodbye to Jessica, left the training ground, and got into Tom's car, Avril called again.

"Don! I miss you so much!" As soon as the call was connected, Avril's straightforward words came from the other side of the phone.

"I miss you too, baby, are you going back to New York soon?" Avril Lavigne has been performing at music festivals during this time. I heard that among her fans, she has gradually become known as the Little Queen of Rock and Roll.

"I also want to go back, but I don't have time recently..." Avril's voice dropped for a moment, and then she immediately became excited: "But we can meet at the Grammys! Don, you can't leave early this time."

"Don't worry! I won't leave this time!" Tang De promised: "I will definitely watch you win the award and celebrate for you."

"That would be great! I will use the award to smash the mouths of those Bitchis!"

"So which bitchis pissed you off?"

"It's just some people on the Internet, and the gang in my school, you know. They said that my songs are just for children, and they can't get on the Grammy podium at all, FXXK!"

"Don't worry, you will prove yourself with trophies one after another, and I will shoot a new MV soon. You can send it to them then, they will 'like' it."

"Really?"

"Of course, this MV will be the best counterattack."

　Thanks for the reward from Winged Devil's Vest
