Dominating Hollywood: Starting with Scarlett

Chapter 124 True Purpose
  "Hi Yi!"

After the chef finished speaking, his assistant also took off his hat and clothes.

He was wearing a black shirt underneath, with his sleeves rolled up, revealing two big flowery arms.

Quentin's eyes widened as he watched Mr. Otsuka walk steadily to the table opposite the pine tree and sit down. Only then did he realize that he also had a tiger tattooed on the back of his head.

"Gangster! Don!" Quentin also realized the true identity of these people.

"I know." Tang De was much calmer. He knew that there was something wrong with the chef, but he didn't expect that it was the gangster who cooked the food himself.

"And the tiger tattoo, awesome!" Quentin continued to admire.

"..." Tang De looked at him speechlessly, a little doubting whether he had taught him too early.

Before the two of them could say anything else, the disguised chef suddenly took off his white chef uniform, revealing a white shirt. He raised his hands to roll up his sleeves, revealing the clear gun scars on his arms. Then he put his hands on his knees and said politely. He said hello to Tang De and the other two.

"My dear, Otsuka Masaru, I am the chairman of the Sumiyoshi Association's Foreign Affairs Committee."

"Hello, Mr. Otsuka." Tang De and Quentin nodded and responded.

"..."

The scene fell into silence today. I thought that Tang De and Quentin would definitely ask what the Sumiyoshi Council or the Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee was, but neither of them asked. Instead, one drank water and the other ate sushi. Otsuka Masaru, who was easy to answer, just stood there.

It wasn't until the door opened that the white-haired chef Kuroki came under the pines and cypresses to make sushi for everyone. Horiki Yoshiki took the initiative and said: "Mr. Otsuka Masaru is a partner of our company. I heard that two distinguished guests are coming this time." When we arrived in Tokyo, it was also his idea to invite the two of us to have a meal."

"Thank you Mr. Otsuka for your hospitality." Tang De said, spreading his hands and pretending to be embarrassed: "It's a pity that we didn't prepare a return gift. We might as well wait until we finish buying the gifts and give them to you through Ogawa-kun."

"Don's right, the sushi is delicious and we should return the favor."

Quentin followed, then lowered his head, pretending to glance in front of his desk casually. At this time, the girl kneeling on the ground was folding her naked feet behind her, showing him her tender white breasts at a glance. The director couldn't take his eyes off the toes and slightly red soles of the feet.

"Hahaha, you two are really strangers, but there is no need to bother with gifts. We are just showing some friendship as landlords. Since everyone has almost eaten, let's talk about business first!" Otsuka Masaru said with a smile. After finishing, he looked at Horiki Yoshiki again.

Horiki Yoshiki hurriedly said: "Mr. Quentin, Mr. Tang De, in fact, we invited you here because we have a cooperation matter that we want to discuss."

"Cooperation?" Quentin was a little confused.

"Yes, that's true. Last year, our HORIPRO Club, my father, retired."

With Horiki Yoshiki's narration, Quentin and Tang De gradually understood each other's intentions.

Horiyi Yoshiki's father Horiwu is the founder of HORIPRO Corporation. The company relies on artist agents for its survival. In order to select suitable artists, they also have special selection and training. During the selection, they discovered many potential actors, such as Kyoko Fukada, Satomi Ishihara, Haruka Ayase and others who all came out of the selection.

However, the most famous and successful cultivation result of this company is undoubtedly the superstar who is called the "eternal goddess" in the hearts of neon people, Yamaguchi Momoe.

But in contrast to the comprehensive training, HORIPRO Club is famous for its low monthly salary in the industry. Regardless of the position, even big-name stars have to receive monthly salary instead of calculation of remuneration. This results in the salary of artists being compared with practitioners of the same status in the industry. Very little.

After Horikio abdicated, the position of company president was handed over to the previous president Shingo Oda, and Horiki Yoshiki's brother Horiki Kazuki was appointed vice president.

Although Horiki Yoshiki has served as the president, he is not optimistic about the future of the company. He believes that the company has gradually failed to keep up with the development of the times, so he wants to vigorously innovate the company's artist management form and move closer to Hollywood. However, because The board of directors prevented him from changing the company according to his own ideas. Later, by chance, he got in touch with Otsuka Masaru and planned to establish a new company. Follow the Hollywood model, expand the artist's reputation, improve the artist's income, and become bigger and stronger.

The reason why they found Tang De and Quentin is also very simple, because they want to cooperate with them to let their artists enter Hollywood and make some "famous names".

"What kind of fame do you need?" Tang De asked directly.

"It's very simple, Mr. Tang De, as long as our artists can appear in blockbusters or play roles in well-known MVs." Horiki explained.

After hearing this, Tang De suddenly realized and tapped his fingers on the table.

Any name, anything to improve income, anything to imitate Hollywood, it's all bullshit.

The two guys in front of them clearly want their artists to go to Hollywood to be gilded, and then return to the Tokyo market to make money.

After all, Hollywood is at its peak in this era. Often only the top domestic celebrities, top acting talents and Japanese actors born and raised in the United States can join Hollywood blockbusters and play one of the roles, such as Ken Watanabe, Hiroyuki Sanada, Rinko Kikuchi and others.

Ordinary actors can't even get through the threshold of Hollywood, let alone play roles.

That's why these guys couldn't wait to invite Quentin and themselves to entertain them, because as long as they agree to cooperate, they will open up a Hollywood door and allow their artists to quickly transition from newcomers to well-known multinational artists.

Such a reputation is definitely well-established in Tokyo. As long as it is slightly gilded, there will be a lot of green money.

Money touches people's hearts. No wonder Horiki Yoshiki's expression is so earnest and Ogawa Sugikai's service is so considerate. They are all driven by profit.

Presumably, in addition to themselves and others, they also received other people from Hollywood.

However, after thinking about this, Tang De felt more at ease because he realized that he and Quentin were not the weak ones.

In fact, they are the ones who really take the initiative. It is Horiki Yoshiki and Otsuka Masaru who need them to provide a golden door to Hollywood.

To put it bluntly, Tang De and Quentin are now the Gods of Wealth, and there is no need to worry about the two opposite parties making any drastic actions. Everything they do now is just exerting psychological pressure.

If they really dare to murder these two people, the US military stationed in Japan will not spare these two guys and the people behind them.

After all, a father spanking his son does not require any restraint or respect.

Once the ideas in his mind were clear, Tang De became more confident. After taking a sip of sake and letting Fukada Kyoko sit a few minutes closer to him, he raised his eyes and looked at Quentin.

It turns out that this guy's movements have become much more comfortable, and he understands the hurdles. Those who can get along in the big dye vat of Hollywood are all human beings, especially Quentin, who has worked his way up from the bottom. director.

Now that he had no worries, Tang De said with a smile: "Mr. Hori Wei, I am a very pure person, very pure, because I only like two things."

"What?" Horiki Yoshiki leaned forward slightly, looking expectant.

Tang De stretched out a finger first: "First, money!"

Then he stretched out a finger: "The second one is money!"
