Dominating Hollywood: Starting with Scarlett

Chapter 291 Telecommunications Fraud
Kyoko Fukada saw Scarlett immediately after entering the room.

However, she did not feel embarrassed about being caught cheating. Instead, she walked to the hot spring outside the room and waited for the two of them.

Scarlett looked at Kyoko Fukada, who was wearing a kimono, and raised her eyebrows and said to Tang De: "Is she serious?"

"It should be." Tang De replied: "Let's go to the hot spring together."

Scarlett looked at him for a while, then stood up, took off her bathrobe, and walked into the hot spring pool with Tang De.

Kyoko Fukada immediately picked up the towel in her hand and joined in.

The next day, "Lucy" officially started filming in Tokyo, and after a month, it was basically completed.

Tang De finally found time to visit AKB48's company.

In the company's theater, AKB48 gathered together today, but not to perform a show, but because Akimoto Yasushi informed the team members that today the company's chief director, Director Norton, will come to inspect everyone's training results and meet with everyone.

So after putting on their team uniforms and putting on makeup, the girls waited in the theater, chattering with each other.

"I heard that Director Norton is from America. Do you think he has a head full of blonde hair?" asked the sweet and lovely Kashiwagi Yuki.

Mayu Watanabe, who was standing beside her and looked innocent and pretty, smiled and replied, "I think it might be an old man who speaks fluent English."

"Ah, my English is not good." Kashiwagi Yuki showed a regretful expression and turned to ask the captain of Team K, Oshima Yuko: "Yuko's English is better, let Yuko go to receive the guests when the time comes."

AKB48 is divided into different teams. Yuko Oshima is in the K team and Mayu Watanabe is in the A team.

"Stop it, Yuki!" Oshima Yuko shook her head repeatedly: "My English is not good. What if I leave a bad impression on the director?"

"What should I do?" Kashiwagi Yuki walked around behind Oshima Yuko and sneakily put his hands around her waist and tickled her: "Of course I'll ask you to wear your sailor uniform and go to the door of Director Norton to apologize in person!"

"Hehe, stop tickling, Yuki. You should be apologizing!" Yuko Oshima felt itchy all over her body from being tickled, so she quickly reached out to hit back at Yuki Kashiwagi, and the two of them started making a scene in their seats.

"But I've always heard from Mr. Akimoto that he used to work in Director Norton's company. When he returned to China to start a business, Director Norton was very optimistic about him, so he invested in us, so he should not be very old."

Yuki Kashiwagi poked her head out from behind Yuko Oshima: "That must be around 40 or 50 years old."

"I think so." As soon as Yuko Oshima finished speaking, Yuki Kashiwagi's hand started again.

"Hehe, stop it!"

Mayu Watanabe was watching her friends playing and smiling, but the next second her face suddenly turned serious and she whispered anxiously: "Mr. Akimoto is here! Stop it, Yuki, Yuko!"

"Ah!" Upon hearing this, Yuki Kashiwagi and Yuko Oshima immediately stopped playing. One of them sat up straight while the other one smoothed her messy hair, for fear of being seen with poor manners.

Although Mr. Akimoto usually treats his teammates very well and never loses his temper, if he fails to deliver at a critical moment, it will bring shame to the entire group.

This situation is intolerable to these Japanese girls.

However, after Akimoto Yasushi walked in, he went straight to the stage, picked up the microphone and said, "Good afternoon, everyone."

"Good afternoon, Mr. Akimoto." The girls responded in unison.

"Unfortunately, I just received a notice that Director Norton cannot rush to the theater immediately due to some incidents."

As soon as the voice fell, the girls sighed in unison. Although Tang De had never come to the company since the idol team was founded, the company has always had the legend of this big director.

Some people say that Director Norton is a fan of idol groups, some people say that Director Norton helped them find their theater, some people say that the reason why all their albums were produced by top Japanese producers is because of Director Norton’s funds, and some people say that their albums are at the top of the charts because of Director Norton’s distribution strategy.

But no matter what, this Norton director has been elusive and has only existed in verbal discussions, so they really don't know his true identity.

So when they heard that Director Norton was coming, they really wanted to show off their team's style in front of the director.

Seeing that the girls were a little disappointed, Akimoto Yasushi smiled and said, "Although Director Norton cannot be here for the time being, in order to express his apology, Director Norton specially asked me to prepare a gift for everyone."

"What gift?" Kashiwagi Yuki whispered to herself.

"Is it supposed to be a dinner invitation for us?" Oshima Yuko guessed.

"I think it might be watching a movie or buying souvenirs or something like that." Mayu Watanabe guessed.

However, what Akimoto Yasushi said next shocked them.

Because he said: "This gift is that all members present will appear once in the Hollywood movie "Lucy: War of the Veil"."

"What!" the girls exclaimed collectively.

Mayu Watanabe widened her eyes and exclaimed, "I've seen one or two of Lucy! They are very popular movies all over the world!"

"Yes, I've seen it too. Is it true that we can perform in it?" Kashiwagi Yuki looked excited.

"That's impossible. Maybe they can just show up? Just like passers-by on the street." Oshima Yuko felt that they definitely had no lines.

However, Akimoto Yasushi seemed to have thought of everyone's thoughts and continued, "I haven't finished yet. You are not just a passerby without lines. You will hold a grand concert in the movie, right in Tokyo Dome. As AKB48, everyone will sing in the movie together. How about it?"

The girls couldn't help but clench their fists and place them in front of their chests, unable to hide their excitement.

"Really? I'm going to be on the dome?"

"Yuki, am I dreaming about having a concert at Tokyo Dome?"

"No, it's true. I'm so excited!"

For the members of AKB48, holding a concert at the Tokyo Dome has always been their dream. Originally, they would have held their first dome concert in August 2012.

It was only because of Tang De's intervention that Akimoto Yasushi's overall business strategy underwent some changes, so he has not held a dome concert yet.

Therefore, when they heard about the dome concert, the girls immediately squeezed each other's hands in great excitement.

At the same time, Tang De, who was stopped by a phone call, was communicating with the producer in the hotel.

“You said the Indian filming team encountered fraud while filming in India?”

"That's right." The producer explained with an embarrassed expression: "Their equipment was stolen by the Indians."
