Dominating Hollywood: Starting with Scarlett

Chapter 126 Billion Dollars
  In addition to the above, Tang De suddenly thought of another thing from the artist manager.

If we talk about the most profitable way to make money in the Tokyo entertainment industry in the future, then there is absolutely no way to escape from a group name.

AKB48!

This girl group was only established in 2005. It was unknown at the beginning, with only a simple theater and 24 members.

These girls can't dance or sing. In addition to extra theater performances, they have to work and study every day, which can be said to be very hard.

But no one could have predicted that just one year later, in 2007. Due to the popularity of the album, this group appeared on the Red and White Song Festival, a playlist party that represents the highest level of neon, and became a gold-eating beast with an annual income of one billion US dollars!
  And now if I can cut off my beard in advance, then this huge money-making machine will belong to me! You will receive a steady flow of huge funds.

Although it is estimated that it will take until 2007 to achieve this goal, but since the opportunity is here, Tang De will certainly not give up.

When he thought of the huge wealth contained in it, his fingertips couldn't help but clenched.

But it is obviously unrealistic to leave the company in the United States and come to Tokyo to select girl group members. The better approach is of course to find the godfather of idol groups AKB48, SKE48, NMB48, and Nogizaka46, Yasushi Akimoto.

As far as he understood, the godfather of the idol group was only a screenwriter and director at this time, so it would not be too difficult to convince him.

Just thinking it might take a while to find him...

Thinking of this, Tang De looked up at Horiki Yoshiki and Otsuka Masaru again.

Well, this is not a ready-made tool man.

So he said: "I know that your original plan was to have the actors participate in a few Hollywood blockbusters and then return to China for development. But I think it is better to change the direction and let the actors specialize in small-cost art films. As long as they can be shown in film festivals If you have achieved anything above, you can use it to publicize it when you return to China. You must understand this."

The Internet era has not yet come, and everyone still trusts paper media more. Therefore, once a movie starring an actor wins a certain film festival award, even a trivial small award, it can be bought and promoted in the domestic media to become second only to the fourth largest film festival. The authoritative and weighty awards of major film festivals rely on this to attract popularity.

This is a common occurrence in all countries, reaping the dividends of transnational information differences.

Now that Chinese capital has not reached out to various international A-type awards, Neon and Bangzi are already at the forefront. Anyway, there are many pheasant awards that compete with international A-type awards. As long as you spend money to buy a similar one, you can achieve what you want. eye-catching effect.

As for the subsequent actors being ripped off? Of course, Tang De would not be stupid enough to let the actors attend the ceremony. All he needed was for the actors to take a photo with the award. If fans found out, they could blame the crew and director, saying that the actors themselves did not know, and then deceive fans. of sympathy.

But Tang De is not worried about being discovered, because the information flow in various countries is too troublesome now. Even if a few people discover it, there is no way to quickly inform everyone.

This is a world of difference from the Internet speeds of later generations.

After talking to Horiki Yoshiki, the president's eyes shone, and he felt that a straight avenue of money was waving to him.

As for Quentin, whether he agrees or not is no longer important at this time.

So with Tang De's look in his eyes, Quentin agreed to their audition request, and then he and a few others enjoyed the entire dinner in peace.

After exchanging business cards and deciding to discuss cooperation in detail tomorrow, Tang and De walked out and got back into the extended Lincoln.

Under the gentle massage of the Suzuki twin sisters, Tang De and Quentin returned to the hotel.

"Don! Thanks to you this time!" Quentin finally breathed a sigh of relief when he entered the hotel lobby, patting Tang De on the shoulder with lingering fear. If it weren't for Tang De, his current right to use the scene would be in jeopardy.

Although Otsuka Masaru didn't say anything, his calm and calm attitude really made people panic, like the sword of Damocles hanging above his head.

It wasn't until Quentin agreed to audition that he smiled again.

After all, Miramax is not as good as Universal Pictures. Even if the crew of "The Last Samurai" rejected Otsuka Masaru's proposal, nothing happened. But when it was Quentin's turn, he had to be taught that strong dragons should not overwhelm local cowards. reason.

"It's okay, Quentin, I'm also a member of the crew." Tang De smiled and was in a good mood.

Before leaving, he handed Horiki Yoshiki a list. In addition to Yasushi Akimoto, there were also the names of various screenwriters and directors, including big names, niche ones, and even several AV directors.

In the name of asking him to help him find and introduce him, in fact there was only one person Tang De wanted to meet.

When Horiki saw this opportunity to prove his connections, he did not refuse and agreed.

Presumably, Akimoto Yasu's movements will be known in two days.

As long as this matter is settled, your trip to Tokyo will be the biggest surprise!

"No, Tang, I think you really understand me." Quentin suddenly took Tang De's arm like a confession: "Whether it's hobbies or personality, I think you are a really good friend, so Tang, Come and help me with my future movies! Art director? Cinematographer? Assistant director? It’s all fine!”

Tang De couldn't help but looked at Quentin, who was blushing and obviously a little drunk. He didn't expect that he was also a man of temperament.

"No problem, Quentin, if I have time... But let me tell you in advance, I am very irritable on set."

"No, no, no, you are angry? Don, don't worry. As long as you think there is something wrong on the scene, feel free to scold him! No matter you are a big name or a celebrity, I am completely on your side!" Quentin slapped Tang De hard on the arm. , kept waving his hands.

"Are you sure? Any questions?" Tang De raised his eyebrows.

"Of course! Any questions!" Quentin said affirmatively.

"Okay, then it's settled."

The next day, Quentin watched in stunned silence as Tang De became furious at the scene.

"FXXK! Has your brain been gnawed by a dog? I told you three times! Put the props here! If you can't do it well, go to the urinal first and pour the water in your brain head first!"

"And you! Stop insulting my eyes with this shit-like yellow color! Bright yellow! Bright yellow! Did your fucking art teacher teach you?"

"Uma! Are you at the zoo? It looks like a monkey that has just learned to walk upright and is playing around with a stick! What, you want to chop me with a knife? Then I suggest you give it a thumbs-up first to see if there are any mistakes. .”

"Lucy Liu! Don't let small body movements harm you! Control! The biggest difference between humans and animals is that they can control their emotions and body! Don't blink your eyes all the time. If there are three blinks in one picture, I will put props on your eyelids Put on some clear tape! Like Tom Cat!"
