Dominating Hollywood: Starting with Scarlett

Chapter 16 Shooting scene
  Let’s talk about buying a car later. Now Tang De is facing Raymond’s album shooting.

One day later, when Tang De came to the address given by Badman, he found that this was actually the room where Davis once jumped into his own room.

Just coming here again, Tang De's identity has changed.

"Put the lamp to the left, at a 45-degree angle, and place it on the ground. That's it. Don't move!"

Davis, Damai, and Xiaobei are tool men today, following Tang De's instructions to set up props and lights.

Tang De stood behind the tripod, watching them busy, with his hands in his pockets doing nothing.

"This feels really good!" Raymond sat on the chair opposite him, wearing a black leather jacket and a huge cross necklace on his collar.

He looked at the dim blue lights around him, said wow, and pretended to be similar, posing several times.

"Tang De! Take more pictures!" The scene in front of him made him feel like he had become a big star, and he was extremely excited.

Tang De also nodded, did not refuse his request, and took a few photos of him during the preparation process.

"Davis, turn the light stick sideways! Shit! I said it! 45 degrees! Are you placing children's building blocks!"

Tang De was obviously very easy-going on weekdays, but once he arrived at the shooting scene, he seemed to be possessed by some devil. His expression and tone made Davis feel more like a beast than his own brother.

He wanted to refute but didn't know how to refute, and wanted to hit him, but his brother obviously wouldn't let him do that.

Gan!
  For the first time, Davis felt that he was not doing enough in school. If he could understand more, he would definitely not be scolded by Tang De!

So he could only hold his breath and kick his feet on the corner of the table to express his dissatisfaction.

It's just that the light sticks that need to be moved have been moved according to Tang De's instructions.

Tang De sneered, he liked the way these guys couldn't beat him despite being dissatisfied with him, and to be honest, with Davis's small physique, he might not be able to beat him.

After all the preparations were taken care of, Tang De looked into the room. By this time, the windows had been closed and blocked with foam boards.

Raymond was sitting in the center, surrounded by blue light sticks. His leather jacket reflected the light faintly, and his face was covered in blue.

But there is also a big light that shines on the ceiling for diffuse reflection, making the space brighter so that there won’t be too much noise when shooting.

"Come on, Raymond, be cool!" Tang De looked at the viewfinder.

Raymond clasped his hands together and put them on his chest, with an indifferent expression on his face.

"No, no, no, this won't work, it will look like you are praying, that's not what it feels like! Raymond! Put your hands on your head!"

Raymond frowned: "Why are you holding your head? Shouldn't you be more confident? This posture makes me feel like I am being pointed at by the police."

"That's right!" Tang De snapped his fingers: "That's what it feels like."

"why?"

"There are not so many reasons, just listen to me! Raymond!"

"FXXK, Tang De, you can't be so strong!" Raymond also felt the same frustration as Davis, feeling like he was being manipulated and played with by Tang De like a toy.

"FXXK! Raymond!" But Tang De didn't care about anyone's opinions when shooting: "I am a photographer! You must learn to respect! I don't care about others, my work must achieve the best effect! Without exception!"

"If you want an explanation, then I'll explain it to you. It's cooler and more eye-catching this way! Got it!"

Perhaps Tang De's tone was too firm and his eyes were very firm. Raymond, a tough black man, backed down for the first time, hugged his head and looked down.

Davis, who was not far away, felt great!

I have always been taught a lesson by my brother, and now it is finally my turn!
  Even Damai and Xiaobei didn't have any overreactions, because Badman had explained in advance that Tang De was the biggest at the filming location. This was the premise agreed upon by the two of them. But even if Raymond did as he was told, Tang De was still not satisfied.

"Keep your head up, beast! You have to look at the camera with a fierce look in your eyes."

"I'm not asking you to stare like a retard!"

"FXXK, Tang De!"

"FXXK, Raymond! Be fierce and wrinkle your forehead! You have to show anger. Anger is your only emotion in this rotten life!"

"Think about your bitter brothers, think about your mother, think about the father you have never met! Think about this smelly street and those white cops who discriminate against you all the time!"

"You will never have a chance to get ahead in this country, except now. Now, this is the only chance for you to break out of the prison!"

"You can't accept the constraints, you have to kill all the obstacles!"

"FXXK, kill them!" Raymond was indeed irritated, and his expression became more ferocious.

"That's right! That's it! Control your anger, Raymond. Put away all your emotions and convey it with your eyes!"

Tang De finally saw the effect he wanted, and pressed the shutter directly to record the moment in the camera.

"Beautiful! Done!"

Raymond's expression is far more intense than the original album cover. Under the blue light, his eyes are like a man-eating beast, which is intimidating.

Raymond himself was a little dazed for a while after the filming, and it took him a while to get over that anger.

"Tang De, you are such a devil." He looked at Tang De expressionlessly, as if he was meeting this photographer for the first time.

Tang De smiled and thought he was praising himself.

In the evening, several people returned to Face Music Company, and led by Badman to a large music recording studio, which is a place affiliated with EMI Records.

Here are the computers they need.

Originally, Badman planned to send the photos directly to other companies for processing, but Tang De was not used to letting others handle his photography works.

After all, the workload of a picture is not much, and whether the outsourcing company can understand his requirements is also a question.

If it needs to be revised repeatedly, he can take a few more photos part-time if he has this time.

Turning on the computer, Tang De clicked on the latest version of PS. Since Adobe launched the first PS in 1990, it has rapidly evolved to 7.0.

Of course, it is certainly not comparable to later generations of PS, but the functions Tang De needs are not difficult.

Put the picture up and cut out the portrait.

Yes, PS in 02 can already cut out pictures.

Then change the background to red, add the title of Beast Nova and some simple noise effects, and a perfect cover is created.

When Badman and Raymond saw this album cover, they immediately felt its amazing charm that transcended the times!

The staff on the side were also watching, and they suddenly cursed and sighed.

"Damn, this album cover will definitely sell out!"
