Dominating Hollywood: Starting with Scarlett

Chapter 12 Album Cover
  In fact, what Tang De saw in the end was not a photo that made people excited.

The camera quality of the mobile phone itself is very poor, coupled with the dim lighting, Scarlett did not take any exciting angles. She just took a picture of her collarbone.

But even so, Tang De still felt a little dry.

Because those crystal clear water droplets dripped slowly under the white collarbone, as if they were going to penetrate into the valley along the gaps.

Tang De didn't know how he fell asleep in the end, and even regretted why he locked the door.

But when he walked out of the room in the morning, he suddenly felt that he had been very wise to lock the door.

Those men and women were lying on the ground or on the sofa in a mess, looking like they were in a coma after being high. Some of them even had their clothes missing, and their bare buttocks were blown by the cold wind in the living room.

Tang De twitched his lips, feeling as if he had entered a crime scene.

Fortunately, no one he knew well was there except Dudley. Jimmy and Apollyon were probably still fast asleep in the room. As for Kati's girl who went back early last night, she probably felt that she couldn't handle Tang De and was unwilling to attack others, so she simply gave up the idea.

After tiptoeing past the group of people, Tang De opened the door and entered the yard, where he saw an 'underwear tree'.

"You're really good at playing." Looking at the branches decorated with colorful underwear like a Christmas tree, Tang De stayed away from him and left Apollyon's villa while sending a text message to Jimmy.

When he got home, he received a call from Jimmy.

His voice was a little decadent, probably because of the excessive overdraft last night, but he was still in good spirits. He and Tang De agreed to go to Apollyon to collect his salary in a few days.

Because Domino's advertising fees are directly paid to Apollyon Company.

After sending Jimmy away to catch up on his sleep, his mother, Carmela, opened the door carrying the vegetables she bought from the supermarket.

"Tang De, guess who I saw?"

"Who? Carmela." Tang De boiled a pot of hot water for himself. Even after so long, he was still not used to drinking cold water or drinking water directly from the tap.

Even his two younger brothers were taught by him to drink hot water.

Thanks to the cheap dad, he had similar habits during his lifetime, so the family accepted this habit without any hindrance.

But it was actually because Tang De knew that a large number of lead pipes were used in underground water pipes in New York, especially in slums.

After these lead pipes have been corroded over time, a large amount of lead will fall off and be contained in the water. If they drink it like this, it is estimated that the brains of Luis and Regias will be affected to some extent.

So now Tang De always brings his own water to every house he goes to, or simply drinks.

Only when you are in New York can you understand one thing: this is not a paradise for the poor, but a Garden of Eden for the rich.

Here, only those with money are healthy, worthy of calling an ambulance, and enjoying the best medical resources.

Only those with money deserve to enjoy delicious food without having to endure the fattening of those crude butters.

Otherwise, once ordinary people are brainwashed by overdraft consumerism and start spending ahead of schedule, they will live in a pile of unclear debts and never be able to escape.

Just like the name on the mother Carmela's lips now.

"Tom, Tom Brown."

Tang De frowned: "Why is he back? Is he released from prison?"

This Tom was the former neighbor of the Norton family, and he was also the guy who was almost driven crazy by the prison debt.

"I don't know, I just saw it from a distance." Carmela didn't elaborate, and Tang De didn't take it to heart. Maybe he came back to remember his former residence. Of course, it belongs to someone else now.

"Ding ding ding!" The phone suddenly rang at this time. Tang De picked up the phone to answer it, and a rough voice came from it: "Hey! Bro!"

"Hey, Raymond!" Tang De was suddenly awakened from the memory of the past few days, knowing that this black man came to discuss the album cover with him.

"Brother, my agent has arrived in New York and we are together. Do you want to come over?"

"Where?" Tang De felt that he could indeed go and chat with them. This was an opportunity. Many directors started by making music videos.

Like Zack Snyder.

"In the pizza shop..." Raymond said a list of addresses, and Tang De nodded. It was a black neighborhood, and white people basically wouldn't go there on weekdays.

But with Raymond here, it shouldn't be a big problem, and his face is not like those pure white people who will be hated by others.

So after saying hello to his mother Carmela, Tang De went out and rode his bicycle to the pizza shop Raymond mentioned.

Along the way, he saw many fat white men on the street and in front of supermarkets. They looked like hills, weighing more than 200 pounds.

This was in sharp contrast to the lean and capable black people we saw next in the black neighborhoods.

"Man! Here!" Raymond's loud voice rang out as soon as he entered the pizza shop.

The other black men who were looking at him immediately relaxed, turned their heads and continued eating their meals.

Donde walked up to them and exchanged fists with Raymond, just as black companions often did with each other, and he had learned to do so.

Sure enough, Raymond looked very happy when he found that Tang De had completed the entire boxing process. He smiled and hugged Tang De: "Awesome! Brother, this is right, this is our homie. Come on, Let me introduce it to you."

After Tang De sat down, he found that the people in front of him basically knew each other, Davis and Arkady.

There are also the two younger brothers who were following Raymond before.

Except for the black man in the middle, who looks a bit old-fashioned, has a bald head, wears a suit, a white shirt and overalls, and looks a bit like an African black man.

"This is my agent, Badman." But Raymond cleared up his doubts.

"I heard from Raymond that your shooting skills are very good, and I think he is tough." Badman also speaks more humorously and straightforwardly, and he doesn't seem to be difficult to get along with.

After Tang De bumped fists with him, Raymond introduced the others to him: "This is Xiaobei, and this is DaMai."

"Hey, brother." Beckham has dreadlocks, while Damai has an afro.

A few people exchanged a few simple words and then got straight to the point.

"Our album has been completely recorded and is now being pressed in the factory, but before the whole album is released, we need to release a single to warm up the scene!" Raymond looked excited when he mentioned his album, as if he had already watched it To the bright future.

But Badman took over and said: "So now we need an album cover that is eye-catching! It is no longer the past. You can rely on DJ radio to brag about it, and you can sell hundreds of thousands of albums, and you can reach the top of the list." Billboard tops. People are smarter now and there are more and more rappers, and we have to appeal to the masses to be successful."

Badman was obviously calmer and knew the current situation of the record industry better than Raymond. Tang De could hear his lack of confidence in his words.

Look at Raymond again, maybe he has noticed something, and that’s why he cares so much about external packaging like album covers.

So he shrugged and said, "Leave it to me, I think I can come up with an eye-catching album cover."
