Dominating Hollywood: Starting with Scarlett

Chapter 238 Meeting the Stewardess Again
"Hello, Donde Norton!"

"Wow!"

When Donde walked onto the blue stage, a lot of cheers and screams were heard, and Oprah Winfrey stood on the stage to welcome Donde.

"Thank you." Tang De held her hand and looked down the stage, immediately causing another round of cheers.

"You're welcome to the show."

"Thank you for your invitation."

The two exchanged pleasantries and then sat on chairs facing each other.

Tang De looked around, surrounded by dark blue. The background behind the stage was very simple and also dark blue.

Under the halo of light, the people below the stage also showed blue outlines.

However, under such quiet and gentle light, the whole person did relax a lot.

"Then she took painkillers to complete the topic selection and almost fell to the ground." Tang De said humorously: "Fortunately, I was not shaken out of the concussion."

"of course."

"I like this movie very much and even took my children to see it twice." Oprah Winfrey turned to look at the audience: "Seriously, I have to say, I admire you very much in this form. It’s incredible to bring this story to the world, to all girls, that contains humor and depth and is full of sincerity and truth!”

"At the same time, it was how I communicated with my family. We lost everything but humor at that time."

However, Tang De also took advantage of the situation to express some of his remarks against racial discrimination, which earned him the favor of the audience.

"So your experiences as a child shape the way you see the world, right?" Oprah Winfrey said seductively.

"Thank you very much." Tang De nodded humbly.

"Then what forced you to make a big change? In fact, we also know that your university is very ordinary and your family is also very ordinary, but you still succeeded on your own and became a director. What do you think? What do you rely on?”

Fortunately, as the camera shifted to the two of them, Oprah Winfrey's show officially began.

After Oprah Winfrey finished speaking, the scene of the confrontation between Zhang Ziyi and Gong Liyu from "Memoirs of a Geisha" appeared on the big screen.

"Because after I graduated from college, I suddenly discovered that the world can be viewed and treated in another way. You know, in the field of photography, the same scene can produce completely different pictures from different angles, right? ”

Oprah Winfrey was confused and curious: "What do you mean?"

"Yes, Oprah, the same kind."

"In fact, the inspiration for this story may come from my mother, Carmela." Tang De explained: "Because she often told me how strong she was when she was pregnant, enduring eight months of pregnancy. I was running up and down the street just to find a wonderful news topic.”

"Perhaps, I think humor is an instinct that has always existed in my body. In those sad days, I had to use humor to fight against boredom and all negative emotions. Otherwise, you know, when sad emotions If you fill it up, you will just lie in bed and listen to music and cry silently, and you can’t do anything else.”

"Haha, what next?"

Oprah Winfrey changed the subject: "I know your family went through some major changes when you were a child. Did you encounter similar people during these experiences?"

Jessica was lying on the sofa, touching her belly gently, looking at Tang De talking on the TV, smiling sweetly: "My little angel, look at your dad, he is so handsome."

When the topic turned to racial discrimination, Oprah Winfrey obviously spoke more. This may be related to her black skin.

"So you paid a lot for this?"

"Yes, entertainment time, rest time, and time to listen to music and cry silently." Tang De shrugged: "These things have nothing to do with me."

"Hahaha, that's funny, Don, maybe that's what makes you different." Oprah Winfrey said with an appreciative expression.

"You mean they became the same kind?"

At the same time, in different places, several women were watching Tang De's interview.

Tang De pondered for a moment: "Of course, for example, my neighbors next door are troubled by crime and poverty, and their lives are not satisfactory, but this is the life of poor people... so we will help each other."

Oprah Winfrey adjusted her glasses and said with a smile: "So handsome, Don, your features are really beautiful."

"This movie is called "Juno." To be honest, you are going to fall in love with this movie. To be honest, I never thought that anyone would make the subject of unwed pregnancy so interesting and vivid. It looks like It’s like a real girl-next-door story.”

"Emotions." Tang De's answer was brief but powerful: "I think if you want the characters in the movie to integrate into the plot and into the picture, then emotions are the best weapons. When you see heavy rain or gloomy weather, you Their mood will inevitably become depressed, so I arranged for the two of them to stand in the rain and look at each other in embarrassment. At this moment, the two of them are exactly the same, both are failures. "

Oprah Winfrey laughed: "So Don, where do you get your inspiration?"

The people in the audience screamed excitedly when they heard this.

"Yes, discrimination, discrimination everywhere."

"After reading your "Juno", I have finished reading your "Memoirs of a Geisha" and "No Country for Old Men" in the past few days. Sorry, I am not very good at watching horror movies and will be scared. Hahaha, I It seems that many of the scenes you shot are deep and quiet. The characters and the scene form a whole. They are not loosely separated, but integrated together, such as this one.”

Tang De also smiled and said: "I found that life is the same. As long as you change your perspective, you can see new things. When something happens, don't complain or complain immediately, but think about it, What are its benefits and what purposes it can achieve... It sounds a bit cold-blooded, but only by looking at the world from this perspective will you find that this society is full of opportunities. "

"Yeah...this is the price you pay. After all, in America, everyone knows that it is very difficult for a mixed-race person to make a career on his own."

"What do I rely on?" Tang De suddenly thought of his past and replied: "It depends on the angle...or perspective."

"That's right, so I usually don't let my husband take photos because his skills are very poor." Oprah Winfrey joked humorously.

"Honestly, I have to say, I love the movie you made." She picked up a disc and showed it to the audience. On it was the cover of "Juno."

Tang De was wearing a black shirt with white short-sleeves and brown pants today. He looked very intellectual.

"Hahaha!" the audience cheered.

"Thank you for the compliment."

"How did you come up with such a scene?"

In sharp contrast to her smile is Anne Hathaway,

She was lying on the bed, her hand resting on her chin, with several scripts in front of her. Apparently she took time to watch Tang De during her break from work.

But her expression was a little complicated. She opened her phone and there was a text message sent to her by a good friend.

The content is: I saw Don and Avril hugging each other intimately, Annie.

After reading the text message, Anne Hathaway put down her phone and curled her hair with her fingers.

"Don, will you confess to me?"

No one could hear her murmur, it just echoed in the room.

Also watching TV was Scarlett Johansson.

But what she focused on was Tang De's clothes: "He appeared on TV wearing the clothes I chose. It's so sexy."

Scarlett bit her lip and began to think about those crazy and restless nights before. After Tang De participated in the Oprah Winfrey Talk Show, he participated in other variety shows non-stop in the next week, of course this time with the crew members.

And in order to promote "Inception", the trailer was also released all over the world by Norton Eyes. This time, the movie will be released simultaneously around the world.

In contrast, Tang De and the others will also go on roadshows around the world to build momentum for the film.

This caused Tang De and the others to suffer from jet lag during this period.

During the flight to London, Tang De unexpectedly met the brown-haired girl Fischer again.

"Hello, do you need anything?" Fischer seemed to have forgotten the business card he had handed to Tang De before, and provided him with professional services with a smile.

Tang De didn't say anything, just nodded and said: "I need a glass of champagne."

"Okay, sir."

Not long after, Fischer handed over the glass of champagne, but when Tang De took it, her hands suddenly shook slightly and she accidentally spilled a little wine on Tang De's pants.

"Sorry!" Fischer hurriedly knelt down and wiped Tang De's pants with the towel in his hand. From Tang De's point of view, he could see the looming depth through her open neckline.

And whether intentionally or not, Fischer actually touched Tang De's lower body with a towel.

"I'm really sorry." But her expression remained innocent and timid.

"It's okay." Tang De shook his head and didn't intend to pursue it.

"Otherwise, you can follow me to the cubicle and I can help you use the hair dryer to deal with it." After Fischer finished speaking, he looked around.

The other crew members had already put on eye masks and went to sleep to rest. The flight attendants were also busy with their own things and did not pay attention to Tang De.

She gently brushed Tang De's hand with her soft fingers: "If the pants are too wet, it will be very uncomfortable. Please follow me to deal with it."

Tang De narrowed his eyes and was silent for a moment: "Okay, I do feel a little uncomfortable."

After saying that, he stood up and walked into the clothing room with Fischer...

More than ten minutes later, Fischer came out of the dressing room with a red face, picked up the water glass and took a quick sip.

After some tossing, Tang De calmed down a lot and returned to his seat.

When Fischer came to him again, she held a piece of paper and handed it to him: "My younger brother and sister like your movies very much. Can you sign them for me?"

"Okay." Tang De picked up the pen and wrote his name on the paper, thought for a while, and then wrote a series of phone numbers.

He didn't say anything, but Fischer obviously understood.

The corners of her mouth curled up, with a slight chuckle, she picked up the paper and left Tang De.

After the plane landed, Tang De took the crew to the reserved hotel.

That night, while Tang De was resting in the hotel, he suddenly heard a knock on the door.

"Boom boom boom!"

He looked through the peephole and then opened the door.

Outside the door was Fischer. Her nose was still deep, her brown hair lay smoothly around her ears, and she was wearing a white shirt and a black skirt, revealing a pair of white straight thighs.

After seeing Tang De, she smiled brightly and walked into the room.

When Tang De woke up from bed the next day, he was still holding Fischer's big balloon in his hand.

He got out of bed, looked at the torn off clothes and stockings on the ground, walked calmly to the bathroom, washed his face, and then called Tom.

Not long after, breakfast came.

But Tang De didn't touch it and left the room directly.

He doesn't want to add any more burden to himself now, so it's okay to try new things occasionally, but it's not necessary to get along for a long time.

After attending the promotional event for "Inception", Tang De received a text message from Fischer.

"Thank you for breakfast."

Tang De smiled slightly. It seemed that this girl knew how to advance and retreat, so he replied: "I think your image is very suitable for a new movie role. I can recommend you when the time comes."

"Really? Thank you."

There was no ambiguity in the text message at all, it seemed like a normal conversation between friends, but because of this, Tang De found this girl interesting.

In the next half month, the global publicity campaign for "Inception" became increasingly fierce.

In order to obtain high box office, United Artists, which is in charge of distribution, spent tens of millions of dollars to release trailers all over the world.

From the effect point of view, it is very good.

Although there are other blockbusters released in the summer, compared with "Inception", the quality is still far behind.

June 1st, "One Night" and "Mr. Brooks".

"Ocean's Thirteen", "Surfing Penguins", and "Hotel 2" will be released on June .

"Fantastic Four 2" on June th.

"Fake God 2" on June nd.

"Die Hard 4" will be released on June th.

"Ratatouille" on June 29th.

It’s not that there are no good movies in the June period, but the blockbusters are all sequels. Only Tang De’s “Inception” has an original plot and has the biggest lineup among all movies.

This will undoubtedly bring more freshness to the audience, so the box office performance on the first day must exceed expectations.

"Inception" is finally scheduled to be released on June 2, Friday, and will compete with "Fake God " on the same stage.

The genres of the two are different, so it can't be said to grab the box office, but everyone is still sweating for "Fake God 2".

After all, there's no Jim Carrey in this movie.

If it collides with "Inception 2", it's probably more bad than good.

So not long after, "Fake God 2" announced that it would adjust its schedule and move it to June th.

Tang De also received the final box office figures for "No Country for Old Men".
