Dominating Hollywood: Starting with Scarlett

Chapter 196 Tang De appears
"Don, are you serious!" Giorgio frowned.

"Of course, you don't need to pay for the 80% share and publicity expenses. You are only responsible for the distribution work." Tang De has his own advertising channels, so of course he must put them to use.

"Then this share is too much. If it gets out, our reputation will be ruined." Giorgio retorted with his arms crossed.

"That's easy. We can sign a 65% agreement first, and then sign a 15% supplementary agreement." Tang De immediately thought of a way.

Giorgio was silent for a moment: "It's really yours, Tang. Are you so confident that she can explode?"

"It's not a big hit." Tang De waved his finger: "It will continue to be popular. I believe in her talent."

"I also believe in my talent!" Suddenly a voice sounded beside the two of them.

Turning around to look, it turned out to be Taylor Swift. She had walked out of the recording studio and was standing not far from the two of them.

It's not very appropriate to describe little Taylor now, because her body is growing really fast.

When we met last year, he was still 1.4 meters tall, but now he is 1.6 meters tall. Moreover, her appearance is also much more mature, and she has gradually taken the shape of the top female singer in the future.

"Is this how top stars are treated?" She sat on the chair in surprise and looked at Keshaun. She felt that this man's makeup was much better than hers.

"Don! You came to see me for the first time in these months!" Taylor said with some complaint, then immediately stepped forward and took Tang De's hand towards the sound engineer.

"It looks good, Taylor." Tang De touched his chin: "But I think there is still room for improvement, Keshaun. Make the eyeliner longer and outline it. The eye makeup can also be a little heavier, and then the lipstick can also be a little heavier. ”

Tang De glanced at her and felt that these were not her real thoughts, but he did not go into details.

Tang De has already hired Hollywood's top makeup artist Keshawn, the same makeup artist who gave him his Oscar look last time.

Tang De's eyes lit up, and he saw that she had changed into a long white dress, with wavy golden hair hanging on both sides of her face, fresh and natural makeup, and bright eyes.

"What? I obviously took two steps back!" Giorgio was shocked by Tang De's shamelessness.

"Ok."

Giorgio exclaimed: "It's so beautiful."

However, his words only made Taylor nod. She still looked at Tang De, waiting for his comments.

After listening to Taylor's album, Nathan Chapman came over and asked Donde for his opinion.

He felt that a cash cow was in sight, and turned to look at Taylor: "But we need to set your makeup first."

When Taylor walked into the dressing room, she was immediately shocked by the various makeup tools and lineup in front of her.

"No, it looks good, but for the public, you need a makeup with more tension and recognition, so that it can leave a deep impression."

Once again, Giorgio was struck by his confidence.

At the same time, Giorgio was still bargaining with Tang De.

Taylor smiled sweetly when he heard this and seemed very happy.

"Come on, let's give this sweetheart some nice makeup!"

"The first one?" Taylor asked subconsciously.

"Seventy percent, that's the most."

"I know, don't worry, I'm already arranging the release, but we still have to shoot the MV."

After thinking for a long time, although he had not determined the specific share, he had already made up his mind to win the distribution rights of this album.

"Okay, when will the makeup be finalized?"

Giorgio was a little surprised when Taylor re-entered the house and came out again ten minutes later.

Tang De said confidently: "I suggest you think about it carefully. If you miss this opportunity, you may lose a lot of money."

But I have listened to Taylor’s songs, and they are indeed good and popular.

"That's right, sweetheart, you are still the first girl that Tang has asked me to come to me for makeup."

"What do you mean? Doesn't my makeup look good now?" Taylor's little girl's thinking made her think about it immediately.

"Seventy-five percent, let's each take a step back."

"Of course, sweetheart!" Keshaun laughed and put his hands on the chair: "You are the first to enjoy such treatment."

"Yes! MV, Tang, how about you be the leading actor in my MV."

"I don't think there's anything wrong with the song." Tang De nodded. Nathan had indeed completed the album very well. Whether it was instrument training or singing, Taylor's level had been greatly improved compared to before.

"Yes, it's this kind of smile, oh, sweetheart, my heart will melt..." Keshaun exclaimed exaggeratedly, and then greeted his assistant.

"Tang, I really can't agree to 80% of it. If that doesn't work, you should find another company to distribute it." He was a little angry at Tang De's lion mouth, but the businessman's reserve prevented him from speaking frankly. expression.

Tang De was stunned, not expecting Taylor to make such a request, and frowned: "Why?"

"Then how much can you accept?" Tang De asked him.

"Uh..." Taylor hesitated: "You are very handsome, and you are very convincing as the male protagonist. And we are more familiar with each other, so maybe my performance will be better."

Although he understood that Tang De had always been confident, it was still a bit incomprehensible for him to dare to say such things before the song was released.

Just then, Taylor walked out of the dressing room.

"Now."

As he walked, he said: "Half of my album has been recorded and will be released soon!"

Because the Taylor in front of her looked better than before. Her eyeliner and red lips made her go away from being immature and become mature.

Tang De nodded: "It looks much more pleasing to the eye this time."

Taylor is now 50 or 60% similar to her in later generations. The only difference is her face shape and temperament. After all, she is too young now.

Taylor looked at himself in the mirror and was a little dazed. It seemed that he really looked better, and it had to be Tang De. He really cared about himself.

After setting the makeup, Tang De began to plan the MV shooting plan.

The album is named after her real name, Taylor Swift, and the title song is "Tim McGraw."

Tang De does not plan to drastically change her MV this time, because the original style does fit her song very well. She only needs to change the lens to make it more beautiful.

But Taylor Swift insisted that he play the leading role.

"Please, Don." Taylor was still begging him when Don De sent her home at night.

Tang De was a little helpless. Seeing that Taylor always insisted, he could only nod: "Okay, okay, then I will act."

"Great!" Taylor hugged his neck happily, and his whole body suddenly became excited.

When he got home, his brother Austin saw his sister jumping up and down. He couldn't help but raised his head from the sofa and asked: "Taylor, why are you so happy? Is it because the album has already been released?" "Not yet! But my MV It's about to be filmed!" Taylor stood on the stairs and announced to his mother and brother: "When the MV is finished, my single will be released!"

"Awesome!" Mother Andrea was wearing an apron and covering her mouth with her hands: "I can actually see my daughter's MV filming one day. Oh my God, it's incredible."

"Yeah, I remember it wasn't long before Taylor joined Angel Declaration." Austin shrugged: "But I have joined Angel Declaration now, and I'm filming the girl group every day. It's really exciting."

Taylor waited for them to finish being surprised and continued: "What do you think of my makeup?"

"I was just about to say, it looks pretty." Austin thought this makeup looked better than the members of Hot Angel.

Andrea also nodded: "It does look good, honey. I think it suits you very well."

"Of course it's suitable. This is done by the top makeup artist in Hollywood that Tang found for me!" Taylor said happily before turning around and going upstairs.

After her father Scott came home from get off work in the evening, Taylor showed off her makeup and informed her of the release of the album.

"Very good!" Scott said while eating steak: "Let's all go as a family then, it can be considered a family activity.

Unexpectedly, Taylor frowned: "It's not necessary, we will cause trouble to Tang."

"How is that possible? We'll drive ourselves and prepare our own meals." Scott didn't realize that his daughter's elbows had begun to turn outwards.

Taylor lowered his head and ate his salad, feeling a little defeated.

I originally wanted to do some outrageous things in the MV, but now it seems there is no hope.

Three days later, around New York.

There is a huge lake here, inlaid on the surface like a sapphire. Tang De thinks it is beautiful and clean, which is perfect for Taylor's MV.

Wherever he goes, the camera follows him, allowing him to observe the framing at any time.

The crew members also got busy, setting up tripods, light stands and swing arms in place.

The assistant director is still an old acquaintance, Jose. The two have been collaborating since the filming of Nelly's MV.

It's just that his abilities are limited. He can be responsible for MVs, but he is a bit unable to be responsible for movies, so Tang De will only look for him when shooting MVs.

Outside the scene, the Taylor family was also leaning against the car, watching the preparations for the MV.

Taylor put on her makeup in the crew's car.

After she finished putting on makeup, the makeup teacher called Tang De in again to put on makeup.

Tang De's makeup is very simple. He only needs to tidy up his hair to make him look younger.

After he finished packing and went out, all the staff members who saw Tang De were a little surprised.

Because he looked too young. Although everyone knew that his boss was actually not very old, after tidying up his hair, shaving his beard, and putting on a little makeup, Tang De looked like a high school student.

"So handsome!" Taylor looked at him with eyes almost filled with stars, feeling that he had indeed found the wrong person.

"Is everything ready?" But as soon as Tang De spoke, everyone woke up.

"Ready!"

"Then start shooting."

Tang De sat in front of the camera. This MV is mainly divided into two parts. One part is Taylor Swift singing alone while lying next to the lake, and the other part is the intimate interaction between the two people.

The first thing they filmed was Taylor's own part.

But this time, Taylor soon realized why Tang De was called a tyrant on the set.

"Moss! Your lighting is messed up! If you make such a stupid mistake again, I will hang you on the lighting!"

"Props, what I need is a brown guitar, why did you give me a black one! FXXK! Go and find it for me!"

"No? Then how about you paint your body brown, and I'll let Taylor use you as a guitar! If not, go buy it! Let's take the next one first!"

"Taylor! Don't sing so quietly, sing louder! You are sad, not enjoying!"

"Don't put your hands on your legs, it makes you look like a gibbon! It's too stupid!"

"Stop these useless little tricks and do exactly what I say!"

"Don't hesitate! When I say OK, you should leave the spot, remember!"

"SHXT, don't jump!"

Taylor felt a little aggrieved. It was the first time she had been reprimanded so harshly, and even the producers would not say that to her.

But she still completed her filming very well, because she didn't want others to see the side of herself that gave up.

But what she was thinking more about was, didn't Tang De care about her feelings at all?

However, when the scene progressed to the two people together, her mentality changed again.

"Close together, yes, Don, you have to hold Taylor." Jose arranged the postures of the two of them based on Tang De's storyboard, but Tang De looked at Taylor's parents and brother who were watching with interest not far away, Pulling the corner of his mouth.

I always feel like I'm doing something unethical.

But Taylor was very into the scene. She put her arms around Tang De's neck, kissed him briefly, and then continued singing in front of the camera.

But Tang De immediately shouted "Ka!"

Taylor thought he had made a mistake. Just as he was about to explain, he saw Tang De rushing towards the monitor.

A few seconds later, after watching the scene, Tang De cursed: "My acting is really bad, it's SHXT! Do it again!"

Others couldn't help but laugh when they heard this, feeling that the director was so cruel that he even scolded them.

Taylor felt a lot better when he saw this. It turned out that Tang De was not targeting himself, but was seeking truth from facts.

"OK, let's do this scene again!" Jose shouted with a smile, and everyone began to look forward to it. When director Tang De acted, he could do it again several times.

But the thought disappeared within a few minutes.

Because Tang De quickly entered the scene, in front of the camera, after being kissed by Taylor, he caressed her hair, looked at her with eyes full of love, and then looked into the distance.

Just like a true lover, there is no fault at all.

"Okay, let's pass this!" Jose looked at the pair of handsome men and beautiful women in front of him and felt that Tang De should really go into acting, maybe he could win an Oscar.

But obviously Tang De didn't have this idea. He wanted to finish filming as soon as possible to avoid Taylor from touching him.

The girl was secretly reaching into his clothes. Tang De felt that she was not acting, but for real!
