Dominating Hollywood: Starting with Scarlett

Chapter 290 Guests do as they please
The script meeting lasted for seven days, and Donald and Scarlett were in love for seven days.

After the final version of the script was determined during this period, the actors returned to their normal professional lives, and the crew began to work at full capacity to prepare for filming.

Props, equipment, special effects, and art.

In order to achieve the best results, Tang De spent a lot of effort on each item.

Three months later, "Lucy: War Before the Curtain" was officially launched.

"Don, take a picture for us."

At the opening ceremony, Will Smith made a suggestion. Although no one dared to ask Tang De to take photos for them easily ever since he won the Oscar and focused on company affairs.

But everyone in Hollywood still remembers Don De's original nickname.

Good luck Tangde.

So with the hope that the box office of this film would rise again, everyone focused their attention on Tang De.

And Tang De did not refuse. He picked up the camera, set the time, returned to the crowd and stood next to Scarlett.

"Crack!"

The photos were taken, everyone's smiles and expressions were recorded, and the shooting officially began.

"Scarlett, are you playing house? Your expression just now was uglier than my dog's!"

"And you, Smith, I want to see confusion, not stupid incomprehension! Look at what state you are performing in?"

"Also, lower the lights on the left side. I can see the reflections on the actors' faces on the screen!"

"Don't leave your props idle. There's a cigarette box on the ground in the distance. It's a glitch! Pick it up now!"

In just the first scene, Tang De went all out. No matter who it was, if there was the slightest mistake in performance, Tang De would reprimand them and have to reshoot.

Even actors who have worked together several times cannot escape the devil's mouth.

Being criticized has become a daily routine.

Despite this, no one complained because they could clearly feel that the entire movie was under Tang De's control. Tang De could firmly control every detail and tell others what to do.

Normally, directors wouldn't be so meticulous, but Tang De has always been a freak. His energy and memory are beyond the reach of many people.

So compared to those superhero movies with many big names but relatively less famous directors, "Lucy: War of the Veil" showed a discipline from the very beginning that other crews did not have.

Since there were many shooting scenes this time, Tang De could not take care of all the shooting by himself, so the crew was divided into three shooting teams.

Paris, India and Nairobi, these three places with small scenes, will be filmed by three assistant directors.

Tang De will take the crew to Tokyo, Chongqing and Iceland.

First stop, Tokyo.

Tang De and his group received a very grand reception. Yoshitaka Horiwaki of the HORIPRO agency led his artists to welcome everyone at the most expensive restaurant in Tokyo.

Thanks to the unique Japanese service spirit, everyone was treated very comfortably.

And Kyoko Fukada was naturally among them, serving Tang De exclusively.

She considerately served Tang De food and poured wine for him, and even helped him spread wasabi when Tang De wanted to eat sushi.

After seeing this charming "bad omen", Scarlett couldn't help but compare them, after all, their body shapes were quite similar.

So she came over and sat next to Tang De, and deliberately said to Tang De: "I think I have seen this lady before."

"Ms. Johnson, I used to be an artist under Tang's company." Kyoko Fukada replied in fluent English with a smile. "Oh, I see." Scarlett nodded: "Ms. Fukada and Tang have a good relationship?"

The arc of Fukada Kyoko's mouth became wider: "No, I just always admire Tang. In my opinion, he is the most perfect man, so I am willing to do more for him."

Scarlett didn't expect Kyoko Fukada to speak so boldly and lower her attitude so much. She didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Fortunately, Tang De said, "I heard that you recently starred in a new TV series and won an award. Congratulations."

"It's all thanks to Tang's good teaching." Kyoko Fukada said, "Since you are coming to Tokyo again, I have specially asked for a few days off so that I can accompany you and help you and learn at the same time."

"Don't be so modest, you deserve it." Tang De smiled and said, "Just don't delay your work."

"do not worry."

Scarlett looked at the two of them with a slightly amusement in her expression.

In the evening, Yoshiki Hori, Yasushi Akimoto and Tang De took a bath in the hot spring provided by the Tokyo Hotel.

"Akimoto-kun has been very successful in recent years." Yoshiki Hori looked at Akimoto Yasushi's plump white body in the hot spring, and said with envy, "I didn't expect that the girl idol group would be so successful. Not only did they appear on the Red and White Song Festival, but their albums are also selling very well now."

Akimoto Yasushi wiped the mist off his glasses and said modestly: "This is all thanks to Tang's decision. I was just lucky."

"Really? It's more than just luck. I heard that Akimoto-kun worked under Tang for several years. I'm so envious. If I didn't have to inherit my father's company, maybe I would go to America too." Yoshitaka Horiwaki sighed. It's true. Others see that HORIPRO agency is doing well, but in fact, Yoshitaka Horiwaki is also walking on thin ice and has to worry about the company's performance and profits every day.

Ever since he successfully cooperated with Tang De, squeezed out his own brother and officially took over the agency, his originally easy life disappeared and became busy and anxious.

Unlike the girl idol group founded by Yasushi Akimoto, although it faced difficulties in the early stages, its future will be limitless once it breaks out. After all, AKB48 is the only one in the idol group field for now.

It is very easy to make money when there is only one dominant company.

But this is not the case with actor agency. This industry has long become a red ocean, and companies must constantly cut costs in order to increase profits.

So Yoshitaka Horie was not lying.

But the other two did not respond to his words, and instead discussed the current situation in Japan and some interesting anecdotes.

Seeing that his goal had not been achieved, Yoshitaka Horiwaki did not want to say anything more and could only continue chatting with Tang De according to what he said.

As the night deepened, Tang De finally finished his bath and returned to his bedroom.

Scarlett was already in the room. She was lying on the bed in her sexy pajamas. When she saw Tang De, she asked curiously, "Have you finished talking to the host?"

"We're done talking." Tang De touched her shoulder and said, "The host has been hinting at me, and his face is almost right in front of me, trying to get the camera."

"Hahaha, they put in so much effort, it's impossible for them to return empty-handed."

"Yes, so I agreed to give it to him and let him show his face in some of the roles." Some of the roles in this movie were given to Yoshitaka Horiwaki's artists. He arranged such a thoughtful welcoming banquet just to let Tang De show his artists more faces.

"There is a reward for every effort." Scarlett had just finished speaking when there was a knock on the door.

"Who?" she asked subconsciously in a low voice.

Tang De stood up and walked to the door, looked through the peephole, and then opened the door.

Scarlett saw through the floor-to-ceiling mirror that Kyoko Fukada was standing at the door. This "bad omen" was wearing a white dress and holding a box.

"Shinda, what's the matter?" Tang De asked.

Kyoko Fukada smiled and said, "Tang Jun, you must be very tired today. Let me help you relax."
