Dominating Hollywood: Starting with Scarlett

Chapter 153 Hot Angel
"Fifty Shades of Grey", this movie may be regarded as the most suitable subject to be adapted into a movie that Tang De pulled out of his memories.

Others were either expensive to produce or difficult to shoot, and did not meet the current scale of Norton Eyes.

Therefore, after Tang De finished filming "Saw", he immediately planned to put the production of this movie on the schedule.

But before that, the movie must be turned into a novel first. After all, the original version is also adapted from a novel.

Tang De's consideration is to first use the release of the novel to see how the market responds to it. If no one is interested in it and sales are not high, it means that it is not the time to adapt it yet, so he can wait for another two years.

If the novel sells well after its release, then adapting it based on the fans of the original work should also perform well at the box office.

However, Tang De was not very satisfied with the movie in his previous life, because he felt that the filming was still very conservative. When he watched it, he thought about many modifications. Looking back now, I really miss the days when I took a few girls to watch "Fifty Shades of Grey".

But in fact, it is understandable that for the sake of box office, the movie must be controlled under the R-rated classification, which inevitably requires reducing some explicit scenes.

If it were made into a TV series and released to a pay TV station, there wouldn't be so many restrictions.

After thinking for a while, Tang De got up from the bed. It was already noon. After a crazy night of saying goodbye to Anne Hathaway and getting married, he was finally able to get up from the bed and eat something.

Anne Hathaway put her plate opposite him and sat down: "I've been waiting for a long time too."

"Then how long are you going?"

"Really? Whose show?" Tang De poked the poached egg with a fork, looking at the flowing candy heart, his appetite increased greatly.

"Kane, how are you preparing?"

"Wish you too."

"It smells so good." Although Tang De didn't smell anything, it didn't stop him from pretending to enjoy it.

After seeing off Anne Hathaway, Tang De rushed to the next date without stopping.

Tang De listened and comforted him, and from time to time a few jokes came out of his mouth, making Jessica lean back and forth.

Anne Hathaway was also impressed by his gesture. She smiled and brought over a plate of steak: "Come and eat. I'm going to Los Angeles to shoot in two days."

"Princess Diaries 2."

"Maybe about three months."

The two of them chatted a lot on the phone during this period. Tang De was always very patient with women and would not get bored by talking too much.

"I've finally started filming the sequel. I've been waiting for a long time." Tang De joked. Ever since Anne Hathaway finished filming the first Princess Diaries, the call for a sequel has been very high.

Tang De finally took the time to visit Angel Declaration's office.

"Jessica, I'm sorry, I'm late due to company matters." Tang De met Jessica Alba in the private room of the Chinese restaurant. After a courtesy kiss, the two sat down and chatted.

"Don, a lot of things have happened to me on the set recently..." Jessica began to pour out her bitterness after meeting, describing how she was treated badly on Cameron's set.

However, the relationship between the two had not gone any further at this time, so after eating, Jessica left alone.

Going downstairs, Tang De saw Anne Hathaway in a white shirt preparing lunch for him.

"Basically everything is ready." Kane stood up from his work station. He had been busy until late every day recently, and he didn't even know that a few hairs were sticking up on his neatly combed back.

Jessica also lacked such a person to talk to, so she made an appointment with Tang De as soon as she returned to New York.

"Good luck."

Republic Records has already written the girl group's album songs. Next, he needs to pave the way for the girl group's debut, contact various variety shows and programs, and build the girl group's reputation. Therefore, this period of time has been continuous.

Fortunately, after Kaiden and Cindy became famous, Kane contacted many similar resources, so he was familiar with them.

Of course, it costs money to get a new girl group on TV.

However, Tang De had already expected this. He planned to release a photo album for the new girl group first and accumulate some popularity while releasing the songs.

"Well, what's the name of the first group? Has it been decided?" Tang De walked to the table and just sat down. The next second he saw the new document handed over by Kane.

"There are three names in total. Which one do you think is more suitable?" Tang De took a brief look and raised his eyebrows: "Just this hot angel. It sounds more in line with the positioning. Have you contacted another venue?"

"The contact has been made, Night Dance Theater, three performances per week." Kane nodded and handed the signed agreement to Tang De: "But will anyone really buy this method?"

"Of course there will be." Tang De tapped the table with his fingers: "Nowadays, for those girl groups, such as Destiny's Child, fans can only see them through various music festivals and TV programs, and they lack the pleasure of cultivation. But hot The hot angels are different. They come from the bottom and are worthless. They can only rely on their own sweat to climb hard in this steel forest. If it were you, wouldn't you feel some pity after hearing such a story? "

Kane shrugged: "I think I definitely will."

"That's it!" Tang De laughed: "This is the position of Hot Angels, the girl group dream of ordinary girls. We have to create this feeling and let the men who can't bear to refuse see them with their own eyes. Sweat. Faced with these delicate and hard-working girls, wouldn’t they give their own dollars to help these girls?
"Definitely. It's just that there won't be too many people when they are not famous at the beginning, but as long as they persist, they will become die-hard fans and benefit other people. As long as they get on the right track, there will be more and more people. Many people come here to see the show. To be honest, I’m just worried that there won’t be enough seats in the theater in the future.”

"I understand, this is a sense of participation, idol cultivation." Kane nodded his chin in agreement.

"Yes, it's like a game, full of participation! This is why I insist on taking family background as a necessary condition for forming a group." Tang De explained: "As long as they maintain the bottom-level personality, then this girl group We can gain enough goodwill. In the final analysis, what we sell is not songs, what we sell is the sense of resonance and cultivation after identity recognition."

"The previous girl groups were too elite! They no longer meet the needs of the new era."

What Tang De said was naturally based on his judgment based on the development situation of idol groups in the future. Although no one has tried it in the United States before, it also means that this is a huge invisible market.

You must know that the girl group system originated in the United States, but it has always been tepid in the United States. In addition to the social factors of the continuous development of feminism, the most important thing is that Europe and the United States pay more attention to individual feelings. More than ten years of education have left them helpless. Agree with the concept that the team is the biggest.

They prefer to work alone and highlight their individuality.

They are not as obedient as East Asians, everything depends on their own mood.

This is also the reason why many groups face disbandment when they are at their most popular.

This is also Tang De's deepest feeling in the past six months of being in an idol group. He must admit that what he thought before was a little simpler. It is simply harder to get these white girls to abide by discipline than to get black people to stop fighting among themselves.

But it doesn't matter, Tang De has also changed his mind. He no longer requires the girls to be almighty, nor does he require them to smile at everyone.

Now he only requires the girls to divide work and cooperate and maintain their character. To put it simply, the girl group is sold to fans as companion items, and the emotional value is used to make fans spend money.

Performances in the theater are also paid strictly according to the performance. Except for the performances that must be performed every month, you can take leave for others. Prevent someone from suddenly going to court one day to accuse Tang De of house arrest and controlling their personal freedom.

This is not alarmist. Luo Lun found many relevant cases for him, all of which were due to excessive control of the company, resulting in the defendant being sued in court and losing a large sum of money.

Even now, privately, several girls are dissatisfied with the system of the training camp. If the song hadn't become popular before, they would have exploded long ago.

After Tang De learned about this tendency, he immediately asked Kane to eliminate several potential thorns and accelerated his debut plan.

Correspondingly, there are those young actors from Tokyo. They have no complaints and work very hard, which makes the white girls very confused.

Tang De was very satisfied with their performance and had already asked the new manager Quist to help them find filming opportunities.

If nothing else happens, the Tokyo girls’ gold-plated plan will be on the schedule in the second half of this year.

Turning back to the topic, there were seven debut members in the first issue of Hot Angel, and their contracts were all signed for three years. Of course, their termination compensation was very high.

If someone tries to poach someone, Angel Declaration could make a lot of money.

As for the second phase and subsequent girl groups, it depends on the performance of the first phase. Although Tang De expressed confidence, Tang De was also prepared to stop losses in time.

After confirming all the details of Hot Angel's debut with Kane, Tang De finally had some free time.

So he turned on his computer and wrote the title and first paragraph of "Fifty Shades of Grey" on a blank document.

He wanted to write a rough story first, and then find a writer to polish the words, so that the book could be published as quickly as possible.

Time passed quickly on the pendulum, and three days had passed in the blink of an eye.

When Tang De stood in front of the seven girls of Hot Angel, they had just finished recording the first song and were discussing their success after their debut.

"Good morning girls!"

"Good morning! Boss!" The girls showed bright smiles, and after saying this, they all lined up in front of him.
