Entertainment 2000: Supporting female stars will bring you a hundredfold return

Chapter 54 Hollywood-style audition (seeking follow-up reading and collection)

New Line partner, Robert Booker looked down at the "publicity plan" written in English by Tang Wen.

People at China Film Group and Shanghai Film Group were also somewhat confused.

The film hasn’t even started shooting yet, but we’re already planning on promoting it?
Secretary Zhou came to Tang Wen and asked, "How about the leaders go back to their rooms first?"

The reason why Tang Wen came up with the "propaganda" plan in front of so many people.

I just want to let everyone from China see how unscrupulous Hollywood is.

To all the leaders present here, get rid of the charm.

Don’t think everything in Hollywood is good!
He replied: “If you leaders are not tired, you may want to take a look at this publicity plan.”

Of course everyone is interested.

We are all people in the film and television industry. Who doesn’t want to see how Hollywood promotes?

“You really know Hollywood.”

Robert put down the manuscript in his hand and looked at Tang Wen deeply.

He felt uncomfortable because others understood him but he did not understand them.

"Can it be done?"

Robert confirmed:

"No problem! Small investment, big rewards!

It's really great and fits the movie perfectly.

Maybe you can make your first Hollywood debut!"

Those of you who come from China are even more curious.

"Comet" tells the story of a person who can enter a parallel world on the night a comet arrives.

To meet another self.

You can even replace yourself in a parallel world and live in a parallel world from then on.

Tang Wen’s propaganda methods can be summarized in one sentence:

[At some point, have you noticed that your loved ones/relatives/friends around you have become unfamiliar, like another person? ]

He asked New Line Cinema to create fake news.

The wife went to the media to expose the incident, saying that her husband seemed to have become a different person overnight.

The boyfriend was asked to be interviewed and he said that his girlfriend’s appearance had not changed, but she seemed to be a different person.

……

Create some hype through late night radio, news media.

Wait until the news ferments and causes a certain degree of discussion, and then take the opportunity to release the movie.

It will surely convert hot spots into box office.

Tang Wen stood up and explained the above ideas one by one.

Robert and the people at New Line are full of admiration!
Finally, I couldn't help but applaud.

"Brilliant! You were born for Hollywood!"

The leaders from China almost doubted their hearing.

No, isn't this deceiving the American people?

“How long will it take to finish the filming?”

"I filmed it once, and the plot didn't change much. Within half a month, the filming and editing were all completed!"

Robert nodded and said, "Okay, I'll arrange the promotion plan right away. Please take a rest and adjust to the time difference. I'll take you to visit Hollywood tomorrow."

After saying that, he left with the people from Xinxian.

In the meeting room, only our people were left.

Someone from China Film Group couldn't help but ask:
"Director Tang, isn't this promotion a lie?"

Tang Wen smiled and said, "This is not a lie, this is Hollywood-style propaganda."

"But this plan was proposed by you."

Tang Wen patiently explained: "In July 99, Lionsgate released a DV movie called Claire the Witch, which cost $7 to purchase, and the global box office was as high as $6 million."

"How many?!"

"2.48 million US dollars."

"At the time, Lionsgate published missing persons notices for the protagonists on major websites, making everyone think that this was a real documentary and that someone really filmed the mysterious incident."

Everyone looked unhappy, including Yu Feihong, who looked like she couldn't accept it.

Tang Wen laughed and said, "As long as they can make money, Hollywood will do anything! This is the real Hollywood!"

“Is there no consequence for this kind of publicity?”

"Of course, but who cares?"

Secretary Zhou frowned and asked, "Aren't you afraid that Xinxian will throw you out and use you as a shield?"

Tang Wen smiled slightly. Since he dared to make a plan, he was naturally not afraid.

Not much explanation.

Secretary Zhou didn't ask any more questions.

Today is their first day in Hollywood, and it will take them some time to digest this publicity plan.

Hollywood is a glamorous and beautiful place in the hearts of countless filmmakers.

Actually, this is how it works?
Although the filter is not broken, there is a slight crack in it.

at night.

Tang Wen drove the Bentley under the starlight of Hollywood until the Bentley couldn't bear it anymore and started making strange noises.

He slowly stopped.

After a while, Yu Feihong came back to her senses, feeling the numbness from inside to outside, and complained half-truthfully: "Every grievance has its perpetrator, go find whoever made you hungry. Don't take it out on me every day!"

Tang Wen smiled indifferently.

Drive!

As long as you have a certain status and position, you will naturally have many cars at home. Who will care about the feeling of the cars?
Many successful people even only pursue one second of happiness.

As for the rest, I don’t care at all.

Sister Yu complained and shrank back into his arms.

The tiredness and satisfaction cannot be described in words.

"How about you continue to play a supporting role in the North American version of Comet?"

Yu Feihong: "Really? Is it possible?"

Snapped!
"Just tell me if you want to."

"Think about it, my great director Tang. What actor wouldn't want to act in Hollywood?"

"Then let this director take advantage of you."

"Bah! No good intention."

"Oh?"

After a few fights and a bite on his shoulder, Sister Yu finally compromised.

The next day.

The leaders of Shanghai Film Studio and China Film Group were taken on tours around the city.

And Tang Wen sat on the sofa for the audition.

The cost of this movie is very low, less than 15 US dollars, not counting the publicity and promotion.

With a publicity plan, there is no need for big-name actors to join.

Robert simply did not show up and gave the power to decide the actors to Tang Wen.

A handsome blond actor came in and greeted politely.

Yu Feihong sat in the outer room, serving as Tang Wen's assistant.

"Oliver Amundsen?"

"it's me."

"go in."

"Thank you!"

Oliver dared not neglect it in the slightest.

He came to Hollywood from his hometown five years ago.

I was a group actor in the first year.

The following year, I realized what it meant to lick someone's ass.

Started playing some small supporting roles.

But that's about it.

Hollywood has no shortage of handsome men, nor of handsome men who are willing to lick women’s boots.

To get this final audition opportunity.

He maxed out his three credit cards and gave a Rolex to the casting director at New Line.

If you can't get this role, you'll have to sleep on the streets or go straight into the adult entertainment industry.

He took a deep breath and reminded himself that even if he had to be a toilet brush, he had to get the role!
"Hello, Director Tang. I am Oliver Amundsen, from Northern Europe..."

Tang Wen looked through his resume:
26 years old, height 186, not a professional.

I played the fourth male lead in an American TV series that I had never heard of.

"Just act out a scene."

She looks okay, and as long as her acting skills are good, she can be a backup.

Tang Wen put down his crossed legs, leaned back on the sofa, and prepared to watch his performance.

From the moment he entered the door, Oliver had been secretly paying attention to every move of the Asian director in front of him.

When I saw him put down his crossed legs and looked at the red sofa under him, I suddenly felt my back tighten.

He is not gay, but for the role, he can.

Oliver walked towards Tang Wen without hesitation.

The latter was slightly surprised: I asked you to improvise a piece, why are you standing so close to me?
next second.

The blond man knelt down skillfully, took two steps on his knees, and reached straight for his belt.

"Hold the grass!"

"Stop!" Tang Wen jumped up on the spot and jumped directly onto the sofa: "Stop!"

The blond man was shocked. What? Isn’t this what the director meant?

impossible!
My understanding is not wrong.

This is my last chance:

"Director, give me a chance. I can do it! I'm very good..."

"Where did this lunatic come from? Get him out!"
