Dominating Hollywood: Starting with Scarlett

Chapter 275 Tit for tat
When Rob Sally walked into the audition room, he found Donde and the producer sitting in the main seat.

"Hello, director." Rob Sari greeted everyone with a smile, then sat down on the chair in front of them.

"Sari, long time no see, how have you been recently?" Tang De looked up and asked.

"Thanks to you, I'm doing pretty well." Rob Sally grinned. "I'm famous, I've shot a lot of commercials, and I've moved my family to a new home near New York."

"Sounds good." Tang De nodded: "Do you know what my new film is this time?"

"I don't know. You didn't tell me. Is it a new series of movies?"

Tang De shook his head: "No, it's Lucy."

"Lucy 2? But didn't I die before?" Rob Sally was a little confused.

"That's right, so if you want to perform this time, you must be mentally prepared." Tang De picked up a piece of white paper and showed it to Rob Sari.

Rob Sari found a sketch of a human figure drawn on it. The figure was more than two meters tall, and his whole body was covered with black mechanical prostheses. There were faint red thick wires inserted in the torso, connecting all the joints.

This person was carrying a small artillery device on his back. Only his head looked human-like. The back of his head was full of tubes and his eyes were red. He was terrifying just by looking at him.

"Who is this?" Rob Sari vaguely felt that this guy was not an ordinary person.

"Adam Hammer is Arasaka Heavy Industries' top-level man-made weapon and the epitome of cybernetics," Tang De explained to him.

Adam Sledgehammer comes from the game "Cyberpunk 2077", and in fact, Norton's Eye has purchased the copyright of Cyberpunk 2077's predecessor, the "Cyberpunk TRPG" board game.

So Tang Deshun directly brought out this heavyweight image in advance.

"Adam Hammer?" Rob Sally looked at the powerful figure with fascination and asked, "Can I play him?"

"Of course, in fact, I asked you to come here because of this." Tang De explained: "But you have to pay attention, if you choose to play him, then you will undergo a three-month training, and you will also have to shave your head and style yourself like him. This will affect your other..."

"No problem!" Rob Surrey agreed without hesitation. Whether out of gratitude or interest, he thought the role of Adam Hammer was great.

It's like it was made for me.

He had always wanted to play this kind of powerful man filled with unparalleled energy on the screen, and now that he finally appeared, he naturally didn't want to let it go.

"Are you sure?" But Tang De still asked considerately.

"I'm sure." Rob Sari nodded affirmatively.

"That's great. I don't need to look for any other backup candidates. Sarri, it's a pleasure to work with you." Tang De stood up and stretched out his hand. Rob Sarri immediately ran over and shook his hand.

After the roles were confirmed, Rob Sari asked in confusion: "Director, are those actors outside the door also here to audition for this role?"

Tang De shook his head: "No, of course not, they are here to audition for some minor supporting roles, and they called you because you are the closest to here."

"I see." Rob Sari felt relieved. Tang De's words dispelled his doubts. It turned out that the director didn't think there was anything wrong with him, but it was just a coincidence.

That's good. Rob Sally felt relieved and left the audition room after expressing his gratitude.

Tang De also started auditioning the next actor.

In fact, it is not too difficult, because they are not looking for any special roles. Both curly-haired actors and brown-haired actors have been selected, and they will appear as minions in the movie.

After deciding on the candidates, Tang De took a look at the character designs and the script.

This movie will tell the story of the Lucy Ultra excavation team and their confrontation with Arasaka Heavy Industries.

Although the comics have already told the truth about the Earth, the progress of the movie obviously cannot be that fast, especially for the people in the team, each of them is actually worthy of a movie.

However, compared with the reputation and popularity of Marvel and DC, the Super Sek worldview is still too little known, and it still needs more preparation to accumulate audiences.

So after Tang De arranged the sequel to Lucy, he directly put the movies of the rest of the team members on the schedule.

Of course, it’s impossible for him to direct all the films.

James Wan and Greta come in handy. They will each direct a character movie, and Tang De will only appear as a producer.

During this period, Tang De has also been talking with other directors. Some directors have already agreed to the preliminary invitation to shoot and are just waiting for the movie script to come out.

It can be said that Norton's Eye will be in full swing in the next two years.

Amidst the busy schedule, the filming of "Skyfall" finally came to an end in May, and the preparations for "Lucy 007" also entered the final stage.

What followed were invitations to various fashion celebrations and magazine parties.

Tang De accepted the invitation of VOGUE due to his emphasis on fashion, and he was accompanied by Scarlett Johansson. As for Anne Hathaway and Jessica, they did not accept the invitation.

Avril Lavigne has just released a new album and is promoting it on the charts.

Originally, this arrangement was foolproof, but on the day of the party, Taylor Swift suddenly said that she wanted to attend and walk the red carpet with Tang De.

Tang De sat in the dressing room and curled his lips. It was obvious that this little girl was plotting against him.

But it has to be said that Tang De is now in a dilemma, because he and Scarlett have already confirmed that they will walk the red carpet together, and now Taylor is also coming, which is obviously a bit awkward.

But before he could think of any countermeasures, Taylor went straight into his dressing room.

She was wearing a light pink dress today, paired with golden hair and bright red lipstick, and looked much more gorgeous than before.

"Tang, your clothes look so handsome today." Taylor sat on the sofa behind Tang De, looking at Tang De through the makeup mirror with a smile on her face.

"Thank you for the compliment. Your clothes look great today. This lipstick suits you very well. It's a darker color than the one you wore last time." Tang De complimented her in return. Women always need to be praised, and they need compliments with emphasis.

Simply complimenting a woman's beauty is only effective with people you are not familiar with. Once you fall in love, a woman's demands for compliments will rise to the level of specific details.

For example, today's hairstyle, blush, eye shadow, clothing combination and lipstick color.

If a man cannot answer accurately, it will often give the woman the illusion that he does not value him.

With a memory like Tang De's, it was no problem for him to deal with this kind of problem, because Taylor herself didn't expect that Tang De could remember the color of her last lipstick.

"I think so too." Taylor's mouth curled up with pride, and his expression was just short of saying that he was enjoying it.

However, her smile did not last long, as it was interrupted by someone who came in. Scarlett, who had finished putting on her makeup, also walked into Tang De's dressing room.

Scarlett was wearing a red dress today, which was much more gorgeous than Taylor's, and her short blond hair was even more charming, especially her full chest, which was several times more beautiful than Taylor's. So when Taylor saw her, he immediately snorted.

Scarlett heard the cold snort, sat down opposite Taylor, lifted her white thighs, and looked at her with a smile: "Hello, Taylor, I like your songs very much."

"Really? But I've never seen your movie." Taylor knew that there were many women around Don, and Scarlett was one of them. It was the first time he met her in person, so he looked a little impatient.

"Then I have to recommend "Lucy" to you. It's directed by Donald Trump and it's very exciting." Scarlett remained calm and recommended herself and Donald Trump's movie to her on the spot.

Taylor was so angry that he almost bit his teeth off.

Because her collaboration with Tang De can be traced back to the first album.

"Oh, by the way, the sequel to Lucy is also in preparation. Maybe we'll be able to see it in the cinema next year. I'll send you some tickets then, and you can bring your whole family to watch it. I guarantee it's exciting." Scarlett added a stab at the right time, which made Taylor even angrier.

She could only narrow her eyes and mutter, "Old woman."

"What did you say?" Age is always a woman's mortal enemy, especially when she is sitting in front of her love rival.

Scarlett was born in 84 and Taylor was born in 89, a five-year age difference between them, so Scarlett is very sensitive to the word old.

"Nothing, I'm just wondering, should I call you sister or auntie?" Taylor provoked Scarlett seriously, keeping a fake smile on his face.

Seeing this, Scarlett also raised a fake smile and whispered back, "It's all right, sister. Anyway, I will stay close to Tang De for the next six months."

Taylor pursed his lips tightly, trying not to swear.

Fortunately, the organizer suddenly called Tang De out, and the makeup artist also left the room, so now there were only two of them in the room.

Taylor couldn't bear it any longer and directly retorted: "Tang De won't like you for long, old woman, just give up on this idea."

Scarlett smiled slightly: "At least I have been with Tang De longer than you, Sister Taylor."

"Then why didn't you give birth to a child for Tang De? Is it because you didn't want to?" Taylor hit Scarlett's sore spot.

Scarlett was not to be outdone: "What about you? Others don't even know that you and Tang De are in love."

This sentence completely broke Taylor's defense, and he raised his middle finger: "FXXKYOU!"

"FXXKYOU!" Scarlett didn't tolerate her. If both of them hadn't put on their makeup, they would have had a fight in the room.

At this moment, Tang De pushed the door open.

Scarlett immediately returned to normal: "Let's go, dear Tang, it's time for us to walk the red carpet."

Taylor was surprised at how quickly Scarlett's attitude changed, but she didn't want Tang De to be snatched away by someone else, so she stood up angrily and held out her hand: "Tang, walk the red carpet with me."

Tang De looked at the two women and stretched out his hands: "Since you both want to walk the red carpet with me, then let's go together."

"Huh?" Taylor and Scarlett were a little surprised by Tang De's actions. Before they could react, they were dragged out of the room by Tang De.

As soon as I went out, noise came from all directions, and the figures of staff and other stars also came into view.

Now Taylor and Scarlett can no longer be angry. After all, if they have a falling out here, it will make the front page of the gossip media.

So the two of them took Tang De's arm and followed the staff's instructions to walk to the red carpet together.

"Wow, it's Tang De, why is there two female companions around him?"

"Scarlett, Taylor! Oh my god, the three of them walking the red carpet together?"

"This is something every man would envy!"

When the reporters saw the three of them, they immediately raised their cameras and took pictures enthusiastically.

And where they couldn't see, Taylor and Scarlett's hands were ravaging Donde's waist.

"Hiss, be gentle, ladies." Tang De endured the pain and walked forward with the two of them with a smile on his face.

Taylor and Scarlett also kept their fake smiles on, and the three of them looked as if nothing was wrong.

However, when they arrived at the host, the host did not intend to let them go.

"Tang, why are you walking the red carpet with two beautiful ladies today?"

Scarlett and Taylor looked at Don at the same time, intending to hear his answer.

Tang De took the microphone and said, "Actually, there are two pieces of good news that I want to announce to everyone."

"Oh? What is it?" the host asked excitedly.

"First, it's the movie." Tang De said with a smile: "The sequel to Lucy will start filming in August this year. I know that fans have been looking forward to it for a long time, so I specially announced it today."

"Really? Wow, that's great news!" The host exclaimed, "I'm a huge Lucy fan! I even bought the comics, they're so good. Tang, I heard you were involved in those stories?"

"Yes, I am involved in all the stories in the Chaosek world view, just like my own children."

"No wonder. What about Taylor? Why are you attending the red carpet with Don?"

Taylor was a little dazed when she saw the microphone turned towards her, she hadn't prepared an answer yet.

Fortunately, Tang De answered for her. He took the microphone and said, "Because this involves the second good news I mentioned."

"Taylor will sing the theme song for the sequel to Lucy. In addition, Taylor's new single will be released soon."

"Wow! God, really?" The host looked at Taylor.

Taylor nodded: "Yes, my new single is about to be released."

"Fans will go crazy when they hear this news." The host opened his arms and said, "I am also a fan of yours. I have collected all your albums. What is your style this time?"

"This time, I'm probably more focused on my inner world." When talking about the album content, Taylor immediately calmed down and said in an orderly manner: "Because I think music is very important to me, I want to express my happiness and sadness in this way. So I also wrote a special song this time, maybe it will let fans see another me."

"I'm really looking forward to it, Taylor. I'll definitely support you when the time comes."

After saying this, the host finally let Tang De and the other two go and allowed them to enter the venue.
