Dominating Hollywood: Starting with Scarlett

Chapter 185 Photo Shooting
On the court day, Tang De walked into the court accompanied by Tom.

Naomi also came to the court surrounded by lawyers and media.

But compared to the confidence on Tang De's face, Naomi's face was expressionless and she didn't know what she was thinking.

After the trial, their lawyer did not produce any important evidence, and focused more on the farce at the fashion designer award ceremony.

In the past few months, they have not found any evidence of racial discrimination from Tang De. After all, Tang De has black friends and often associates with black celebrities. There is really no way to slander him.

But they couldn't live without evidence, so they directly found those people who had been insulted by Tang De.

Take Hans, for example, the photography assistant who was fired by Tang De in the Avril Lavigne MV.

He told everyone in court: "Don is a tyrant. When we were filming that day, the track was very clean, but he forced me to lick the track on the ground. Just because he wanted to torture people, he took pleasure in humiliating my character. , and those crew members are also accomplices!”

The reporters all looked at Tang De and recorded Hans' words.

It's just that Tang De's expression was always calm, without any flaws.

Tang De rubbed his temples and said in a serious tone: "I discovered my problem when I was subjected to school violence as a child, but medical treatment was not developed at that time, so it was not detected."

Hearing this, the whole audience was in an uproar. They didn't expect that Tang De had a mental illness!
But a few reporters grinned, secretly thinking that this was a good move. As long as verbal violence was classified as a disease, it would not be subject to legal restrictions.

"I have no comment on film matters, but I can tell you another thing..." Tang De stretched out his finger: "I am currently planning my own photography exhibition."

A discerning person would certainly not think that this was key evidence, but after seeing the clips of black people being tortured, the jury's attitude became somewhat relaxed.

Soon, it was Tang De's turn to explain.

"What is the theme of the photography exhibition?"

"Tang, how far will you pursue this?"

But Naomi gets angry randomly in life, with no rules at all. This obviously cannot be summarized by Tang De's self-evident symptoms.

Tang De would only vent his frustrations with swear words at work, and it did not involve violence.

"If they are unrepentant, we will pursue them to the end."

After the staff explained, CAA's agent made the final decision.

So the situation she faces now is very dangerous. Once she is found to be violent and racist, the judges will not believe what she says.

After the court adjourned, Tang De walked to the hall accompanied by Karl, and the reporters raised their microphones to face him.

As soon as these words came out, the reporters immediately became excited, because Tang De's side already had the advantage, and Naomi was completely passive.

"Of course, let me say it again, I am not racist and I respect the equality and freedom of all races."

So Tang De won this round.

Later, Tang De's lawyer invited several staff members and CAA agents who had worked with him to refute Hans's point of view.

Tang De smiled: "Sorry, I have a mental illness, which is beyond my control."

"Your honor, I am Naomi's assistant. In her daily life, she often makes dissatisfying remarks against white people and often beats and scolds me. I still have scars on my arms where she scratched them with a razor blade."

"Don! So Naomi's accusations against you were made up by her?"

Tang De said: "First of all, I want to explain one thing. All my accusations against the actors and staff are in the studio environment. This is part of my working method, and it does not involve racial discrimination. Look at what I just said A few witnesses will tell you that whites and blacks are treated equally by me.”

Later, the scene in Tang De's movie about torturing black people was used as evidence of Tang De's discrimination against black people.

"After CAA's internal investigation, 55% of the clients Hans handled rated his performance unsatisfactory. In addition, many female employees said they had been harassed by Hans. From various performances It seems that we believe that Hans neglected his duties and sexually harassed his colleagues. The company has collected information and is suing him in court, so we ask the judge not to accept his testimony.”

The opposing lawyer was also very distressed about this. He felt that all his methods had been eliminated one by one, and he had to apply for an adjournment of the case.

"Don is a great director and cinematographer, and we always turn to him for guidance on anything we don't know how to do. Although he occasionally swears, we know this is just him urging the work to be completed, and there is no malicious intention."

"So Tang, what are your plans next? I heard that "Memoirs of a Geisha" is about to be filmed."

She glared at Tang De unwillingly, not expecting that all these secret things about her would be dug out by him, as if he had been prepared for it.

In the testimonies of the witnesses, the reporters who listened in also heard the difference between Naomi and Tang De.

"Boom!" The judge banged the hammer and asked the witnesses to come on stage to tell their stories.

"So can I think that verbal violence has become a normal thing for you?" The other party's lawyer dug a hole.

"Your honor, I am Naomi's housekeeper. Although it is not nice to say this, my job is very dangerous. Because Ms. Naomi has a very strong desire to attack others, even if the breakfast is slightly unappetizing, she They would threaten me with scissors, which is why I resigned, it was such a bad memory.”

Tang De's lawyer immediately picked up a hospital certificate: "My client suffers from stress-induced speech disorder, which is manifested in that he cannot control his language when he is angry and will use swear words to vent his anger."

"Your honor, in fact, after investigation, we have sufficient evidence to prove that Naomi Campbell is a violent and lying person. She beat and abused others at will in her life. For this reason, we also invited 5 people to witness."

Then, while Naomi's side was still in shock, Tang De's lawyer spoke.

"I am a sensitive girl, and I was scolded by Tang, but I felt that it was my fault, that I did not do well. And later, when I did well, Tang also praised me. He was like a strict teacher. It has benefited me a lot.”

"Don, is your mental illness real? When did it start?"

As for whether this disease really exists?
This is a hospital with American characteristics. As long as you have enough dollars, it is not a problem to get you one or two papers in medical journals.

Listening to the witnesses' accusations against her, Naomi's entire face turned black and blue, like a rotten shrimp.

"Your honor, I am Naomi's photographer. During the photoshoot, she threw a vase on my head because she was not satisfied with the photos. I went to the hospital and had five stitches."

After Hans finished his accusation, Naomi's lawyer asked several people who had suffered from Tang De's poisonous tongue to attend to prove that Tang De was a guy who habitually controlled others with verbal violence.

"What?" The opposing lawyer raised his eyebrows.

"The human body and desire." Tang De raised the corner of his mouth: "In fact, I have made an appointment with a well-known actress to take the first set of photos for the photography exhibition. I will also make appointments with more stars to take photos in the future. This set of photos The dark style will be continued and more changes will be added.”

After saying that, Karl helped Tang De block the reporters and walked to the lounge.

Half a day later, the court finally concluded its session, but the result would not be announced for some time.

However, the outside world generally believes that Tang De is very likely to win the case, and there is basically no possibility of losing the case.

After all, there is too much evidence. Even if the judge wants to make a trial in favor of Naomi, he must consider the basic facts.

After the court confrontation with Naomi ended, Tang De also welcomed the first female star to be photographed by him in New York. Julia Roberts.

The actress who presented Tang De with the award was the first woman to volunteer to participate in his photography exhibition.

"Hi, Julia!" Tang De met her in the villa he rented.

"Don!" Julia kissed him affectionately, and then said with a smile: "Since you finished shooting Charlize, she seems to have been blessed by God."

"This is not my credit." Tang De shook his head: "I am just an ordinary photographer."

"I know, I know, keep silent!" Julia looked very understanding, and then followed Tang De into the villa.

"So Don, how are you going to shoot this?"

Tang De closed the door and turned on the lights in the room. There was a large bed in the middle of the living room, surrounded by various lamps.

"I need to lie down on it, Julia, and you need to take off your clothes."

"Take it all off?" Julia shrugged. She was wearing a light yellow dress with light makeup, which was what Tang De requested.

"Yeah, that's right." Tang De turned around and picked up the flesh-colored nipple patch from the table, then turned his head and was about to hand it to Julia when he realized that the woman in front of him had exposed her breasts.

"Wow." Tang De didn't look embarrassed like those virgins, and praised generously: "Julia, has anyone ever said that your waist curve is really great?"

"Thank you for the compliment." Julia was not shy. She lay directly on the bed and stroked her thigh: "What posture do I need to pose?"

"Well..." Tang De immediately became serious when he entered the photography mode. He fiddled with the lights, and then commanded: "Julia, sit on the bed, bend one leg and keep the other flat."

What he wanted to imitate was the work of Vacca Watucci, a classic black and white photographer in the photography world. This photographer focused on photographing the human body and was famous for his various bizarre and sexy angles.

His most famous photo is a shot of a naked girl sitting on a gray surface with her back to the screen. Her huge buttocks occupy the absolute center of vision, but her private parts are all shaded gray, making it impossible to see clearly. , can only be associated through curves.

The entire photo shows only lines and curvatures of the human body, as well as the skin reflected by the light, as if the human body has been abstracted into a symbol.

This is what Tang De wanted, but he shot it in color.

Julia listened to Tang De's words, hugged her body, and blocked her private parts with her knees and head.

"Your body is still not soft enough, Julia. Relax a little more. Don't worry, I won't make you look ugly."

"Hahaha, Don, I hope so. You were merciless last time you filmed me."

"Oh, if you don't behave well, I might be venomous."

Julia pouted: "For the sake of me being the first to come to you for filming, Don, please don't hurt me."

"Okay, okay." Tang De smiled and picked up the camera: "Come on, straighten your body, yes, hug your knees, that's good."

"Crack!"

Julia's figure was recorded in the photo, and Donde continued to shoot.

In the second photo, Julia's body is split into a straight line on the floor. Her two feet are placed on a transparent chair, making it look like her whole body is suspended in the air.

Tang De also used the lighting to create a silhouette, allowing the light to reflect on her skin.

In the viewfinder, Julia's entire body takes on a literal feel, and while the exposed skin is still sexy, it doesn't feel erotic.

During the whole process, Tang De never stopped guiding.

“Instead of moving around like a Parkinson’s patient, think like a monkey in a circus and imitate their tightrope walking.”

"Hold your breasts and let them puff up like water balloons. Yes, it's very pleasing to the eye!"

"Stretch one leg back, my camera will shoot from behind you, tighten your toes!"

After taking several photos in a row, Julia was so tired that she collapsed on the bed and said, "Don, my face shouldn't be shown in your photos, right?"

She is already very open, but she still blushes at certain gestures.

But Tang De remained calm, as if Julia was a puppet in his hands, at his mercy.

When the shooting finally came to the last shot, Julia couldn't help complaining: "Don, are you really taking pictures of me? How do I feel that you are taking pictures of other things?"

Tang De raised his eyebrows: "This is the art of photography, and it is also the theme of my photography exhibition. But the last one does not take a picture of your body."

"Then what to shoot?"

"your face."

Donde asked Julia to sit in a chair, pointed the camera at the position above her collarbone, and then said: "Relax, Julia, to calm down, I need the truest version of you, free from identities, masks and ideas. Don't go Don’t think about anything, don’t take any action, just be quiet.”

"Click!" While Julia was completely quiet, Tang De also pressed the shutter.

"Great, Julia, great photos."

"I hope so, Don, can you show me the photos first when they come out?" Julia put on her clothes one by one.

"Of course it's no problem." Tang De pulled out the memory card and looked at her: "You will definitely be pleasantly surprised."

"I just hope it brings me good luck."

What Julia said is also the thought of many Hollywood stars. Ever since Tang De said that he wanted to hold a photography exhibition, many people have come to sign up.

There is both a relationship with the good luck title and a relationship with the fashion circle. Everyone wants to get more fashion resources through Tang De's photos.

It's just that Tang De is very strict in selecting his photographic subjects, because he needs people with physical beauty, flaws, or particularly famous people to photograph.

Only in this way can the theme be expressed better.

So the second candidate he decided on was Leonardo, one of the most famous actors in Hollywood.

But the most important thing right now is not this, but "Fifty Shades of Grey".

This adult novel written by Don De and polished by Carmela is about to be released.
