Dominating Hollywood: Starting with Scarlett

Chapter 89 Media Speculation
  Tang De accepted Jimmy's confession the next afternoon.

He couldn't laugh or cry as he watched Jimmy recount everything that happened last night in front of him, but in his mouth, what happened with Lilina was of his own free will and led by himself.

Although Tang De didn't care about Jimmy and Lilina, since he had said the company's rules, he couldn't break his promise.

But considering that Jimmy surrendered on his own initiative and the circumstances were extenuating, Tang De thought for a moment and made a decision: "Jimmy, since you plan to develop a long-term relationship with Lilina, it is obviously not suitable for you to stay in the same company."

Jimmy nodded and reluctantly looked at the various decorations in the office that he had personally arranged: "I will hand over the work to others as soon as possible."

"Who asked you to hand it over to someone else?" Tang De frowned and asked in confusion.

This sentence rekindled Jimmy's hope. He looked at Tang De, and although he didn't speak, it was worth a thousand words.

Tang De laughed: "You should stay at Supreme Creative, at least until you find a more suitable manager, you can't be missing here."

"Then Lilina..."

"Lilina, just go directly to the Angel Declaration and re-sign the contract. The effect of her photos after being released is very good, although not as good as Kaiden and the others." Tang De knocked on the table and continued: "It's just that for the time being, you can just go to the Angel Declaration. Don’t be responsible anymore, I will arrange for others.”

In addition to Kane, Tang De also recently interviewed a specialist responsible for connecting various businesses, Rico Dash.

Since Jimmy can't control his lower body now, Tang De will temporarily leave the publishing business to Rico.

After listening to Tang De's arrangement, Jimmy also breathed a sigh of relief. He stretched out his hands, hugged Tang De and thanked him: "It's all my fault, Tang De, I shouldn't have drank so much."

"Come on, buddy." Tang De patted him on the shoulder and teased: "Do you think I haven't seen the flirting between you two?"

Jimmy's eyes widened: "Then why don't you stop me!"

"FXXK, do you think I can stop an adult man with sperm in his brain?" Tang De laughed and scolded: "I can only hope you remember this lesson. If it happens again, it won't be me asking you, but It’s time for Lilina to crush your balls with her high heels.”

"Don't worry, Tang De, next time I will definitely..." Jimmy was about to swear when Tang De slapped him back.

"You'd better swallow these words back. Some things will inevitably happen as soon as you say them."

"Ahem...Murphy's law, right? I understand." Jimmy winked for a while and then asked, "I see you just received a call saying you wanted to attend the award ceremony?"

"Yes, my work was nominated for MTV music video." Tang De looked at his clothes in front of the floor-length mirror in the office.

"Awesome! My good brother has become a famous director!" It was obviously impossible for Jimmy not to be envious, but he knew that he was destined to be unable to become a famous director because of his weight.

"That's not all. In fact, I can only attend half of this award ceremony. After receiving the award, I will go to Chicago."

"I know, that movie is on? How cool!" Jimmy whistled to encourage Tang De: "Maybe I can see you at the Oscars next year!"

Tang De smiled and said nothing.

After confirming that there was nothing wrong with his clothes, Tang De reminded: "Our customer service team will be further expanded. Let's recruit five girls for the new period."

"Don't worry, leave it to me!" Jimmy patted his chest as a guarantee.

He still trusted the girl's aesthetics, so after explaining, he left her to get busy.

The next day, the MTV Video Music Awards ceremony officially begins. All invited nominees will attend the red carpet show in the evening, and then enter Radio City Music Hall to hear the organizers announce the award winners.

But before that, the media also had a lot of speculation about tonight's grand prize winner.

Billboard music magazine listed several award winners based on editor speculation.

The first is the Best Male Artist Video. They gave Eminem's "Without Me" an award. This is basically an unquestionable award. Only this song's MV has become a huge hit in the entire year.

The pranks and jokes have become one of the popular elements this year.

Next is the Best Female Artist Video. Avril Lavigne's "Sk8er Boi" is undoubtedly the top seed. It is also one of the few popular works this year. The various eye-catching pictures and interpretation articles published by various magazines have fascinated many fans.

Not to mention that the various elements shown in the MV are also popular today, and its aesthetic style has even influenced many new MV directors. Since this MV, many works that incorporate American comic elements and stop-motion animation elements have emerged.

Then there is the best hip-hop video. The competition for this award is relatively fierce. Jennifer Lopez and Ja Rule collaborated on "I'm Real (Remix)", Nlley and Kelly Rowland collaborated on "Dilemma", and Ray Meng's "Makeover" are among the best.

Among these three MVs, two were filmed by Tang De.

The only pity is that the director of "Dilemma" nominally belongs to Jose. Although the crew and singers all know that Tang De is the director who controls the scene, after all, it is not him who is named the director. But this is not important to Tang De, because in the competition for the best director of the year, he has only one opponent, and that is Joseph Cabin, an American whose ancestral home is in Seoul.

In this regard, the answer given by Billboard Music Magazine is Tang De.

But at the same time, the best video of the year he gave was "Without Me" directed by Joseph.

But their selection made Baiyi Music Magazine Dylan very dissatisfied, and he directly refuted it in the magazine: "It can be seen that Billboard is trying to imitate MTV and give a fair and just so-called house-style strategy, but it is a pity that it is A piece of cake. In my opinion, awards must highlight their professionalism and not surrender to the market!"

"So in my case, I will give Joseph the Best Director of the Year, and I will also give him the Best Video of the Year. Why? Because this is called talent! Why can't such an interesting MV be the best of the year? Should we change the so-called A big event to hold you up to the altar?"

Anyone with a discerning eye knows what he means, but there are not a few media and magazines who have the same idea.

As of three days before the MTV awards, some media have calculated the results of all the magazines on the market for the best video of the year and the best director of the year, and made a data pie chart.

The conclusion shows that 8% of the media believe that the best video of the year should belong to "Sker Boi".

Fifty-seven percent of the media believed that the best director of the year should belong to Joseph Cabin.

This result is in line with many people's predictions. Of course, some magazines do not agree with it.

For example, Nylon Music Magazine published a prediction column specifically for this purpose, and many readers voted for the best video, best artist and best director in their minds.

Mirren and his female best friend Judy, of course, also participated in the vote and talked about it when they met at school the next day.

"Who did you vote for?" Mirren stared at Judy curiously, holding her schoolbag in his hand.

"Of course it's Avril Lavigne and her "Sk8er Boi", what about you?" Judy looked very beautiful in a pink skirt. Compared to Mirren in a wide sweatshirt, she looked like an aristocratic lady.

"I also voted for Avril Lavigne, and I voted for Tang as director, and for best male artist..." Mirren rambled about her vote to Judy, mixed with many professional words and comments.

But Judy was not impatient, but listened carefully, as if she really understood.

Nylon Music Magazine finally announced the results after a week of collecting votes, but the results were completely different from what everyone thought.

Because of the best video of the year and the best director of the year, readers voted for "Sk8er Boi" and its director Tang De.

If such speculation is followed, it would be equivalent to Tang De winning a Grand Slam on MTV. Such voting results will undoubtedly make many people sneer.

Take Dylan, for example, who directly complained on his social media: "Look! This is the end of the big scene. The audience's shrunken minds can't accommodate any other works, only Avril, Avril, Avril! SHXT ! God should take away the director of this work, he started a bad era!"

But no matter what he said, the MTV Video Music Awards ceremony has officially been held.

At six o'clock in the evening, Tang De, wearing a thin black windbreaker and a white T-shirt, arrived at Wireless Music City and saw Avril Lavigne waiting for him in the lobby.

"Don!" Avril Lavigne is still looking the same today. She wears a white sleeveless T-shirt with a striped tie. She wears spiked wristbands and blue, white and red wristbands on her wrists. Her classic smoky makeup is something you will never tire of.

I have to say that this makeup look seems to have been developed just for her. No one has ever been able to make the smoky makeup look so refreshing and beautiful.

After seeing Tang De, she jumped forward, wrapped her legs around his waist, gave him a deep hug, and whispered in her ear: "Tang, I miss you so much."

Tang De touched Avril's head and said, "I miss you too. Is there anything you want after the award ceremony?"

Avril let go of his waist, with a slightly excited expression on her face: "After the awards ceremony, I'm going to be interviewed by a magazine. I should be fine by ten o'clock in the evening."

Unfortunately, her expectations were dashed, because Tang De shook his head and said, "I'm leaving at half past eight."

"Why? Don?" Avril asked in confusion.

"As I told you before, Chicago Movies, I have booked a flight ticket for tonight, and we will gather to start filming tomorrow." Tang De's time was indeed quite tight, and it was too late to do anything bad.

Avril pouted, but she still chose to be considerate. She hugged Tang De again: "Then you go, Tang, I'll wait for you to come back."

"Well, wait until I come back." Tang smiled and held her hand: "Let's go, it's time to go to the red carpet."

　Thanks to Mr. Grief Mo Yan for the reward
