Dominating Hollywood: Starting with Scarlett

Chapter 97 Extraordinary

Dion said that he could not understand the development of the incident at all.
  It was obvious that Tang De was overestimating his abilities and wanted to challenge the mirror dance arrangement. Why did he suddenly become the best director on MTV? Why did Bert, a strict producer, support him so much?

In fact, the title of MTV's Best Director is certainly not enough for Belt to support Donde, but Cameron's praise cannot be ignored.

The cause of the matter is also very simple, because when reporters recently asked Cameron about his shooting plan, he accidentally mentioned some movies and TV series he was watching while resting at home.

He also talked about his children and their recent obsession with Avril Lavigne’s MV.

Cameron wasn't originally interested in the MV, but the children needed company, so he started watching it.

Unexpectedly, I was a little surprised by this look.

Because he thinks the use of colors and shots is great, especially the scene of the fireworks exploding in the last scene. He likes it very much.

This gave him great inspiration, but when reporters continued to ask if it was the inspiration for the new movie, Cameron avoided the topic.

After seeing the news, Bert also went to watch Tang De's MV, just as Cameron said. That's the way the movie is shot, and even many shots and images are better than ordinary movies.

Therefore, since there are such people in the crew, of course they must make good use of them. The company has placed extremely high hopes on "Chicago".

After Bert's remarks, everyone suddenly came to their senses, and then they understood Tang De's identity.

It turns out that he is the best director of MTV. No wonder his skills and knowledge are far beyond ordinary people.

Generally speaking, award winners like Tang De started out as assistant film directors, and it is not uncommon to directly serve as directors of small-budget films.

Unexpectedly, he quietly joined the crew as an assistant photographer and never showed off his resume!

This can't help but make people awe-inspiring.

"Tang De, God, why didn't you tell me earlier!" Rob let out a sigh of relief, feeling that he had not misjudged the person.

"Yes, Tang, you are so humble." Kelin defined Tang De's behavior, and everyone nodded in agreement.

As for the other people in the crew, the way they looked at Tang De also changed. Their original doubtful expressions softened. The stage teacher also changed his words and said, "Maybe we can consider changing the position of the mirror."

"Yes, I think Tang De is right. The choreography of the mirror dance is indeed not as amazing as other scenes."

Perhaps because Tang De received support from the producer and director, everyone's tone also changed.

But the most critical factors are still Tang De's resume and Cameron's face. People with achievements will always get more preference than others.

In this way, the storm against Tang De disappeared without a trace, with only Dion standing next to him like a gleam of light on his back.

"FXXK! Damn it!" He cursed a few times in his heart, and then continued to watch everyone discussing the topic about Tang De, and reminded him unwillingly: "But we only have a few hours left..."

"That's right!" Belt thought about the cost again, and his face became nervous again: "Tang, you said you want to change the lens of the mirror dance. Do you already have an idea? We can't delay it too long."

"Of course!" Under everyone's doubtful eyes, Tang De came to the props team to explain, then sat back in front of the camera and said a few words to Renee.

Then, he clapped his hands and said, "Okay, let's perform it once. Just follow the original dance."

"Okay." Renee returned to the center of the stage wearing a sparkling dance costume and put on a confident look.

"Director, we can start the trial shooting."

"Then everyone is on your duty, let's follow the original arrangement, music!"

As soon as Rob finished speaking, music sounded from behind the scenes.

Renee immediately jumped up on the stage with selflessness. She kept traveling through the arranged mirror maze, sometimes leaning on the mirror, sometimes touching her body.

Various mirrors on the stage are also constantly moving outside the camera. Props team members are arranged behind some mirrors to move the mirrors back and forth as the dance progresses. Some mirrors are moved in the air using slings.

However, because the surrounding environment is completely dark, it cannot be seen in the camera.

However, when Renee reached the line: "My hair, my teeth, my breasts, my nose." Everyone off the stage discovered that the mirror next to her was different from the original rectangular mirror. Tang De changed it to a round shape.

And these circular mirrors present a geometric beauty under Tang De's combination and arrangement.

When Renee turns to face the mirror, various parts of her body are immediately reflected in the mirror, which is an amazing echo of the lyrics.

After the test shoot ended, Rob and the stage teacher watched the clip again. Then they looked at each other and then at Tang De.

"Thank God, I have to admit, this is really a good idea." After Rob praised, the stage teacher also smiled and gave a thumbs up: "I think this idea can be used on Broadway, Don, thank you for your idea."

Seeing that the director and stage artist agreed with Tang De's idea, the others immediately breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.

Upon seeing this, Bert hurriedly said: "Then let's start filming quickly!"

"No problem, Tang, you'll be the one to control the camera. These shots are better than my established angles." Director Rob gave Tang De the job of photographer with confidence.

The choreographer also called the actor over: "Renee, the dance needs to be modified a little, come here." Not long after, the filming of the scene officially started.

The psychedelic mirror maze, the messy but beautiful circular mirror, the narcissistic dance, and the huge neon sign. The dance scene took two full hours to shoot before it was finally completed.

When the director announced the approval, everyone applauded vigorously, not only for Renee's wonderful and powerful dance, but also for everyone's own efforts.

At this time, a week has passed since Tang De joined the team, and they have completed all the scenes except prison.

Then he would rest for a day and then go into the prison to shoot the rest of the scenes.

Tang De finally had time to breathe a sigh of relief. After he returned to the hotel, he talked to Jimmy on the phone to learn about the company's situation in the past few days.

"Tang De, there's something wrong with Heinz." Jimmy's voice was a little serious on the phone.

"what happened?"

"Someone copied our idea and it sold out recently..." Jimmy explained for Tang De.

It turns out that a Heinz competitor has recently appeared on the market, named Deshi. The products they make are also various sauces, which fit perfectly with Heinz's product range.

Originally, this matter was nothing, after all, Heinz had more than one competitor, but they plagiarized the highly creative three-part advertisement and improved it to make a funny video.

After this funny advertising video was played, it immediately aroused strong reactions from various customers. While laughing, everyone also bought up all the Deshi sauce in the supermarket.

As a result, the sales of other companies' products have plummeted, which is of course intolerable to Heinz and other sauce companies, so in the past two days everyone has been looking for advertising companies to urgently produce videos.

After Tang De learned about this, he pondered for a moment and said to Jimmy: "Henry should be very anxious now."

"Yes, after all, in the advertising market, every minute is money. He needs us to produce a funny advertising video within three days. If we fail to meet the requirements, it may affect our contract agreement next year."

Even though Henry has invested in Supreme Creative, this is still not his most important company. The Heinz Group is his home base, and of course he will not lose the big for the small.

Capital interests are always ruthless. Tang De had already expected this, so he arranged: "Jimmy, you go to Karl now to contact the crew and venue. If the director wants it, I will give you a name. Remember, no other Just find her. Then I will send you the script later today."

"Okay, no problem...but is it really okay in such a short time?" Tang De himself was not here, and Jimmy always felt that it was not safe enough.

"It doesn't matter, just trust my vision." After Tang De made arrangements, he wrote the shooting script directly in the notebook.

As for whether it will pass Heinz's review?
  Just kidding, this is a spoof advertisement they will produce in the future. Both the creativity and the form are very suitable for the ketchup product itself.

Although this video is not about shit, the American people love this, don’t they?

By the time the script was finished, it was already evening. After giving the script to Jimmy via fax, Tang De explained the actors and precautions to him, and told him to call him if he encountered any problems on set.

After getting Jimmy's promise, Tang De received a call from Kane again.

He came to report to Tang De on the progress of the Angel Declaration during this period.

Kayden has successfully won the invitation to Victoria's Secret, but Cindy unfortunately failed because her figure is still a little worse than Kayden.

But she and Lilina are not without gains. They recently received an invitation from Fox TV to participate in the recording of a TV show called Bikini Destination.

Tang De knows this because after the TV show was broadcast, it received a very enthusiastic response from the audience, and a subsequent photo album was released in 2005 called Bikini Destination: Triple Fantasy.

It’s good that Cindy and Lilina can participate in this show, at least they will become famous in the United States.

Tang De was very satisfied with Kane's work and encouraged him. As for the reward, it depends on what kind of answer he can hand in at the end of the year.

Regarding this kind of capital trick, Tang De said that he is no stranger to using it.

After settling the company's affairs, Tang De planned to take a bath and fall asleep after dinner.

As a result, the text message "Didi" rang, and it was a message from Anne Hathaway, whom she had not seen for a long time.

"I heard you're in Chicago?"

"How do you know?" Tang De was a little confused.

"Oh, maybe it's because my friend is on the set? And she told me about someone again today?"

"Hahaha, what a coincidence, so you are in Chicago too?"

"I'm planning to go to dinner, are you free?"

"of course."

Tang De naturally couldn't refuse the beauty's appointment. He changed his clothes and immediately rushed to the restaurant where she was.
