Dominating Hollywood: Starting with Scarlett

Chapter 206 Charity Film Festival
When "Memoirs of a Geisha" was released, its reputation was obviously much higher than that of movies of the same period.

Film critics have praised the film, saying that the film's audio-visual language and script are very unique and describe a tragedy about the times.

But when the film was released in the island country ahead of schedule, it caused a lot of media boycotts.

Because there are basically no Japanese in the protagonists in the movie. Except for Ken Watanabe and Kaoru Momoi, who plays Mama-san, there are only some supporting characters who are Japanese.

This made many media very dissatisfied. Coupled with a series of turmoil in the previous casting, many people did boycott it amid the verbal criticism.

But Kyoko Fukai, who played the little pumpkin in the movie, became the biggest winner.

Because she was the only island geisha outside the three main characters, the patriots refused to express their love for Zhang Ziyi, so they gave her all the praise.

Let her popularity rise rapidly.

Upon seeing this, Horiki Yoshiki hurriedly asked Fukai Kyoko to return to the United States from the United States. When accepting reports, he claimed that he returned to the country because he could not stand the United States's colored glasses towards Japanese actors.

This undoubtedly earned her praise from various media and exposed her face to the public.

For example, at this moment, Ellen Tveit and Leighton Meester were looking at each other on the bed and laughing.

"clear."

The only difficulty may be the sex scene.

This sound made it difficult for the surrounding staff to hear it, but Tang De shouted "Click!" expressionlessly.

At the same time, she bit her lips tightly and squeezed out a few patient trembling sounds from her throat from time to time.

After a series of adjustments, shooting started again.

However, he did not rush to screen, but first contacted Masaru Ohtsuka, the Sumiyoshi Association’s foreign affairs committee member. and met with him.

Tang De returned to the camera and continued filming.

This laughter was so magical that all the staff were infected and laughed so much that the filming could not continue at all.

Tang De twitched the corner of his mouth and complained: "Leighton, do you know what you look like? You look like a big goose!"

"Okay, do it again."

So Tang De's vicious tongue soon sounded again.

It didn’t take long before the Akihabara Project Company received ten years of free use of a theater.

At the same time, the filming of "Fifty Shades of Grey" is also halfway through.

With her patriotic sentiment, she appeared in many variety shows one after another and successfully received many film invitations.

At the same time, Akimoto Yasushi also returned to Tokyo with his own plan.

"And you, Allen, don't be stiff and just drip the wax. You should enjoy the process. You should put your fingers next to her belly button and gently touch the wax marks."

Even the others laughed like crazy.

The name comes from Akimoto Yasushi’s girl group recruitment plan called Akihabara 48 Project.

Otsuka Masaru has been secretly communicating with Tang De and received a lot of benefits, so he agreed to all the requests made by Akimoto Yasushi.

Because they are performing a dripping wax drama.

"Ok."

"And you, Allen, don't put your mouth together, it looks too vulgar, like a pervert! This is pure love, pure hobby!"

Under the dim light, Leighton Meester was only wearing a black BRA and pants, her hands were tied to the bedside, and her body was rising and falling as the wax dripped.

The filming of this movie is not too difficult, and the male and female protagonists do not need too much acting skills, as long as they show the emotions they should have.

Akimoto Yasushi also recruited a lot of staff, and the Akihabara Project Company quickly got on the right track.

But Leighton Meester seemed to be tickled and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Okay, director." Leighton Meester nodded in agreement and curled up the soles of her feet.

A new company has been established, with Akimoto Yasushi as CEO, Angel Declaration funding and behind-the-scenes control, and its name is Akihabara Project.

Because the two actors' state after being adjusted by Tang De is particularly real, Ellen Tveit looked from Leighton Meester's head to the soles of her feet with eyes full of enjoyment.

Ellen Tveit was shirtless, holding a special candle and dripping wax on Leighton Meester's waist.

After announcing the project, Akimoto Yasushi immediately received a large number of resumes.

But the effect this time made the surrounding staff gasp.

"Leighton, your body posture is too artificial and not natural enough." Tang De stepped forward and lifted Leighton's feet to the railing at the end of the bed: "Your feet are not exerting any force now. When you are trying to endure it, you The toes must be tightly clasped inwards, do you understand?”

"Leighton, relax! You are hunched over like a cobra now. Do you plan to eat Allen?"

"Well... um... ah..."

This time it was a lot better, but there were still some things that didn't meet Tang De's requirements.

As for how it came about, no one cares.

"Also, tilt the light angle 45 degrees to the right, giving me a Rembrandt light. I want to highlight the outline of the character!"

"Giggle, giggle!" Leighton Meester laughed even louder when she heard this.

After they finally finished laughing, the filming continued.

Leighton Meester sometimes bit her lip, sometimes twisted her body, and sometimes curled her toes amidst the pain and pleasure of dripping wax.

With her voice, it was almost impossible to control one's desires.

"Why do I feel like Tang has been filming adult movies before?"

There were staff chatting quietly with other people.

"I think so too. It's so exciting. I can even think of the sizzling sound in the cinema of the future."

"Look at these thighs, they're reflective and oiled, they're really nice!"

"I like that set of underwear, what brand is it? I want to buy a set for my wife."

"Uh, are you sure you want to spend four hundred dollars on a set of underwear?"

"FXXK, forget it then."

It didn't take long for the scene to be finished, and Tang De and the others continued filming in another scene.

Time gradually entered the night as the shooting progressed.

After the crew finished work, Tang De returned to the temporarily rented apartment.

He wanted to take a shower and go to bed, but suddenly he received a call from an unknown number.

"Hello?"

"Hey, is it Tang?"

"It's me, you are..."

"I'm Angelina Jolie." Tang De raised his eyebrows, not expecting America's sexiest female star to call him.

"Julie, what's wrong?"

"The reason why I called is because I heard about your photography exhibition from Julia, and I'm a little interested. Are there still no photos in your exhibition?"

Tang De nodded: "Of course! I still lack a lot of photos, especially photos of the sexiest women."

In fact, Tang De has not been idle during this period. He has taken photos of many celebrities.

Preparations have also begun for a photography exhibition, which will probably be held in December.

"That's great, but there's something I want to talk to you about before we shoot...where are you?"

"I'm in Toronto."

"I'll be there tomorrow, that's it, bye!"

Tang De looked at the hung up phone and shrugged, Angelina Jolie is really resolute.

But he was also a little curious about what she wanted to say to him.

The next day, while the crew was filming, Tang De received news that Angelina Jolie was visiting the crew.

He ignored it because the filming was the biggest at the moment, so Angelina Jolie had been watching since she entered the crew.

She didn't come to Tang De until the crew took their afternoon break.

"You're so busy." There was teasing in her tone, as if she was blaming Tang De for letting her hang out for so long.

Tang De shook hands with her and smiled: "I'm sorry, but I really can't spare the time."

"It doesn't matter. I like your work attitude. I am also fully focused when directing."

After Angelina Jolie finished filming "Tomb Raider", she did not continue to follow the path of a sexy actress. Instead, she filmed a documentary by herself this year.

She seems to be interested in becoming a director, and there are many reports in newspapers about her rejection of movies.

It's just that the documentary was not released in the end and was only played at the film festival, so Tang De didn't watch it either.

"Come on, sit down."

The two of them sat down in the rest room. Tang De took two boxes of lunch and handed one to Angelina Jolie.

She didn't choose, just opened the box and started eating.

The two of them talked while eating.

"So why did you come here to find me?"

"Don, I actually want to convince you if you can donate part of the income from this photography exhibition." Angelina Jolie expressed her thoughts.

Tang De ate the eggs and nodded silently: "Why?"

"Look at these children." Angelina Jolie took out a stack of photos from her bag and handed them to Tang De.

Tang De took it and found that these photos were all about children.

It's about children from backward areas. They wear tattered clothes, walk on the street, and look at the camera with their big watery eyes, which makes them look a little distressed.

"I adopted a child in Ethiopia. She is only 6 months old. Her name is Zahara." When Angelina Jolie mentioned the baby's name, a smile appeared on her lips: "She is a little angel, very cute. The second one is her."

Tang De opened the photo and saw a dark-skinned little girl. She was lying in swaddling clothes and smiling at the camera.

"It's really cute."

Tang De put down the photo and looked at Angelina Jolie.

"I know this request is a bit excessive, but since you are going to hold a photography exhibition, then I believe you must be full of love for the world, right? At least judging from the photographer friends around me, they are all willing to take photos to the best of their ability. Some backward areas, and then help them get relief.”

Tang De understood what Angelina Jolie meant. The photography world is far more pure than Hollywood. Many photographers started by photographing small people and poor areas.

In the photography world, this kind of humanistic photos are very popular because they can inspire the most essential kindness of human beings and contain the different features of the world.

In today's era, you will rarely see photos of bustling urban landscapes in photography exhibitions or albums. People pay more attention to backward countries and low-rise and chaotic slums.

This is why photography exhibitions can attract many social elites, because they need a place to show their sense of responsibility and kindness.

Just like any charity auction.

Therefore, after Tang De heard Angelina Jolie's suggestion, he felt that it was quite reliable. This approach could make the photography exhibition reach a wider audience and make it easier to gain a good reputation.

"You are right, we should pay more attention to those poor areas."

"Oh, Don, that's so nice of you to think that way," Angelina Jolie cheered.

Tang De paused for a moment and continued to ask: "But I don't know how to do charity."

"It's okay, it's okay, I can help you!" Angelina Jolie offered to help very proactively.

Tang De knew that she had no bad intentions, because she had indeed adopted many children from poor areas.

She is personally helping others.

"That's great." Tang De smiled.

Angelina Jolie also laughed: "I have established a fund, which will be used to assist children in underdeveloped countries such as Ethiopia. You only need to transfer part of the income from your photography exhibition, and I can ensure that it will be used All for children.”

"No, Julie." Tang De waved his hand: "I decided to donate 70% of the income from the photography exhibition."

"Oh! God, Don, you are so selfless!" Angelina Jolie covered her mouth and said gratefully: "This is great, thank you, Don."

"But I'm a little worried." Tang De suddenly frowned.

"You said."

"You know, my photography exhibition is actually relatively niche. Because it is a completely new style, I don't know if it will be accepted by the public. If there are few visitors, I think I may not be able to raise much money."

"Don't worry, Don, I can help you promote it. And my boyfriend, I will mobilize all my strength to help you." Angelina Jolie's boyfriend is Brad Pitt.

He just got divorced and fell in love with Angelina Jolie.

"Thank you, but I also hope that this photography exhibition can attract some...how to say...such as Wall Street, such as Silicon Valley, such as people in the fashion industry, because I plan to hold an auction on site, which will undoubtedly help children more ”

"You're right, Tang. Well... I have many connections around me, including Chanel, Goldman Sachs, and Google. I will contact them. There are also some friends in the collection industry. As long as your photos are okay, they will probably be willing to come. See it live.”

"Very well, let's settle it then."

Tang De nodded with satisfaction. Compared to himself alone, Angelina Jolie and her boyfriend could undoubtedly mobilize more resources.

In addition, the celebrities I photographed are all publicity trumpets. As long as I use some gimmicks and get the association bosses to endorse me, my charity photography exhibition can reach a considerable volume.

Not to mention that the gallery has the contact information of many important customers, and they are all agents of financial giants.

It is conceivable that when these people go all out, the photography exhibition will become the focus of Hollywood and even the collecting world.

At that time, you can choose the most suitable partner from the guests.
