Dominating Hollywood: Starting with Scarlett

Chapter 168 Dark Art
Yasushi Akimoto, the founder of AKB48.

Unexpectedly, he would appear in his company like this and apply for a job? This was completely beyond Tang De's expectation.

So the next day, he asked Kane to notify the guy named Bjorn Qiu to come to the company for an interview.

"Hello." Yasushi Akimoto is a man with a solid build. When he nods, you can see his prominent double chin.

"Hello, sit down." Tang De sat with him on the sofa.

"Why do you want to join the Angel Declaration?" Tang De first asked.

Yasushi Akimoto nodded repeatedly and explained: "Because I watched your company's theater performance and I thought it was very exciting. In fact, I have done a similar form of girl idol group in Tokyo before, but there has never been any splash."

"I see, then Mr. Akimoto should be very experienced in managing girl groups."

Qiu Yuankang raised his head in confusion, a little surprised by what Tang De called him.

Tang De smiled and said in Japanese: "I also know a little Japanese. I just went to Tokyo some time ago."

And the title is also very sensational.

After all, this is the training model that was born out of AKB48, and some of the measures are more mature than when AKB48 first started.

After Tang De confirmed that his appointment was as scheduled, he watched him bow and thank him, and waited for a few minutes before leaving.

"There will be plenty of time in the future." Tang De said to himself, he would slowly convince the founder of the girl group, and then offer him some inducements. Let the girl group become your gold-drawing weight in the future.

"Then let's talk, Mr. Akimoto, what do you think Hot Angel is not doing well enough?"

"I am very experienced. I once founded the Kitty Club, and many senior neon female stars came out of it..." Akimoto Yasushi recounted all the past events in detail.

However, Tang De didn't care whether he was leaving Angel Declaration. He only cared about whether Qiu Yuanyasu could accept the capital injection and become another chess piece in his hands.

Hearing this question, Akimoto Yasushi laughed awkwardly: "Although I made a lot of money at the time, I spent more money on training and personnel, so the profit was not much. And I love the training of this kind of girl group. model, I think they will definitely shine in Neon, which is why I came to the United States. I want to learn from the experiences of other countries.”

"Hi, thank you for your approval."

"Well, it sounds like it's been a big success, so why did you come to America?"

But Akimoto Yasu definitely can't say that he wants to learn the model of Hot Angel. Doesn't that mean that he will definitely leave Angel Declaration in the future?

"Then have you learned?"

Tang De twitched his lips, Qiu Yuanyasu said it nicely, but he actually wanted to learn all about Hot Angel.

So in order to get hired, that's all he could say.

"Hey..." Qiu Yuankang was prepared. After finishing the draft, Tang De immediately expressed his appreciation.

"That's a good suggestion, Mr. Akimoto. I think you are very suitable for the position of planner. So when can you come and join us?"

"Then tomorrow."

"It will be possible tomorrow!" Akimoto Yasu became excited when he saw that his goal was achieved.

"That's it! Hi!" Yasushi Akimoto was immediately overjoyed. Since the boss of Angel Declaration is familiar with Tokyo, he might hire him.

"Unfortunately, no. But a few days ago, after watching the theater performance of Hot Angel, I felt that your company's concept is very close to mine, but it is not mature enough. But if I can join your company, I will definitely Experience helps Hot Angel.”

After thinking about this, Tang De picked up the newspaper, which reported in detail the racial discrimination incidents that occurred at the American Council of Fashion Designers Awards.

"Naomi falsely accuses Don De of racial discrimination!" Expelled from the Association Awards! 》

It describes in detail Naomi's accusations against Tang De and the embarrassing attitude in which she was finally kicked out.

As soon as this report came out, many brands in the fashion industry said they would no longer consider choosing Naomi as a clothing model.

Victoria's Secret also immediately stated that it would terminate its contract with Naomi in the future.

Naomi's fashion work suddenly came to a standstill, and her commercial value plummeted.

But she didn't intend to suffer a loss like this. Many media published interviews about her at the same time. In the article, she told reporters in tears that Tang De did insult her with racial discrimination words, but the chairman of the Association Award was biased. Tang De.

Immediately afterwards, she announced that she would appeal, sue Tang De for racial discrimination, and seek compensation for US$5 million!

Although most media choose to stand on the facts, racial discrimination is always a good time to take sides. Many black stars also took the opportunity to stand up and express that they have suffered a lot of discrimination and injustice in Hollywood.

He also said that Hollywood is the largest center of discrimination in the United States.

This has led to some white celebrities and directors also falling into a storm of public opinion and becoming the targets of this denunciation of racial discrimination.

Seeing that the situation is about to go in a direction that is not good for you.

The next day, a piece of news came out, causing the brains of readers who paid attention to Hollywood to immediately shut down. A well-known major law firm in New York that specializes in celebrity disputes suddenly issued a statement, claiming that Mr. Tang De had entrusted them to file defamation and eight other criminal and civil charges against Naomi. It also stated that it had obtained key evidence and would bring it to court. before submitting it to the judge.

At the same time, he also warned those black celebrities and celebrities who have vowed to slander Mr. Tang De's reputation, hoping that they can discern the truth of the matter instead of following what others say.

As soon as the news came out, everyone's attention immediately shifted from racial discrimination to the eight charges.

After all, there were so many accusations and the treatment usually meted out to murderers. How could it be Naomi's turn?

However, Lu's words were conclusive, and he also said that he had mastered key evidence, which made people think. Is it because Tang De had mastered Naomi's dirty information that he was said to be racist?
There is no shortage of supporters of conspiracy theories everywhere. The gossip media, like a brown bear after seeing honey, immediately made various speculations about the incident, directly confusing the issue of racial discrimination.

For a time, the father-in-law said that the father-in-law was right, and the mother-in-law said that the mother-in-law was right. Everyone was talking about it, but the truth was not seen.

But Naomi was very angry because she didn't expect Tang De to strike faster than her, as if she had been really violated.

But there is no other way. Now we can only passively go to court.

Naomi found the best lawyer in New York, and with the lawyer's reminder, she began to collect all the information and black materials about Tang De since his debut.

If you want to do it, then do it thoroughly!

But Tang De didn't take any action, or he had arranged for lawyers and private investigators, and everything should be done according to the established arrangements.

Naomi's accusations against him are also not at the forefront of his mind at the moment, as photos from his shoot for the Council of Fashion Designers of America Awards are released.

These photos, collectively named dark art, were officially published in major magazines and attracted collective attention within the fashion industry.

At this time, Miuccia Prada, the chief designer, was looking at this set of photos in the Prada office.

"What an exaggeration." She exclaimed while shaking her head.

"This is really imaginative and exciting! I like this style." She handed the photo to her assistant.

"Look at this, do you know who this is? I think her expressiveness is very good."

The assistant took the photo, which showed a beautiful woman facing the camera sideways.

The light left a curved arc between light and dark on her face. At the same time, she opened her lips slightly, allowing the small grooves on her lips to be illuminated by the light. It looked extremely sexy when paired with the low-cut short skirt she wore.

The assistant briefly identified it and replied: "It's Jessica Alba."

"Well, you can look for her for next season's summer clothes." Miuccia directly confirmed Prada's choice of spokesperson for next season without even the slightest hesitation.

Because she liked how Jessica looked at ease in the photos. Although in fact she prefers the style of the photo.

"Dark art is so relevant. The shots are bold, the colors are breakthrough, and it's full of tension. What if it's applied to clothing? Have you ever thought about it?"

The assistant thought for a moment: "I think it must be very eye-catching."

"That's right." Miuccia laughed: "This is a brand new style, or trend. I'm sure many clothing brands will try to follow this style in the future. In fact, if I were the editor-in-chief of VOGUE magazine, I definitely want Tang to shoot a cover immediately.”

"I need Tang's contact information! Find it for me quickly!" At the same time, VOGUE editor-in-chief Yuriu was shouting to his subordinates.

"This is an unprecedented style. Our magazine must follow up immediately and arrange interviews and covers for me!" He was very excited, not just because of a good photo.

It’s the never-before-seen mature style reflected in these photos.

If there were only one or two photos, then what Tang De did would not have attracted the attention of the fashion circle.

Because it only represents inspiration, not style.

However, Tang De actually took dozens of photos with the same lighting, tone, and color style in one go, which means that he has completely integrated this technique and formed a brand new style.

Dark style.

The meaning of this is self-evident. In the photography world, it is a major event that creates a genre.

It's just that because Tang De is from the entertainment industry, the photography industry hasn't reacted yet.

Therefore, after Yuriu realized the emergence of this new style, he immediately invited Tang De to interview. This not only represents VOGUE magazine's sensitive fashion sense, but also represents that they are always at the forefront of trends.

But Yuriu did not receive the good news, because Tang De's phone number had been bombarded by major fashion magazines and was now busy.

"Damn it!" Yuriu put on his coat, picked up his briefcase and walked out. "Editor-in-Chief, do you want to meet Tang in person?"

"Yes, what's wrong?" Yuriu looked at the assistant in front of him.

"But he is suspected of racial discrimination..." the assistant reminded him.

Unexpectedly, Yuriu just shook his head and left: "Fuck racial discrimination, I only work for fashion, no matter what he is, even if he is really rubbish, it doesn't matter now!"
