Chapter 60: Packaged like this
After the audition, everything seemed to be back on track.
The audition was held as scheduled, and it was not greatly affected, and some good seedlings were selected.
Julia's cousin was imprisoned by Hunter on suspicion of defamation and gathering a crowd to make trouble, and even Julia was detained for twenty-four hours.
But because the incident itself did not cause any bad consequences, as well as pressure from public opinion and all sides, in the end Hunter allowed them to bail.
The tabloid also completely withdrew the relevant reports, and solemnly apologized in the later issue of the newspaper, and the person concerned was also removed from the post of editor-in-chief.
In the end, this matter can be said to be over, after all, there is no substantive evidence, and there is nothing Hunter can do.
During this time, Harvey has been nesting in Tang Feng's company, and the post-production has reached the most critical juncture, and he has really put a lot of effort into completing it in the shortest possible time.
The original soundtrack was Brian, but because he was making a soundtrack for the first time, he was obviously a little uncomfortable and did not meet Tang Feng's requirements.
As a last resort, Tang Feng, escorted by Galen, personally went to Opton to find Cooper and invited him back to the company to participate in the soundtrack of the movie.
As soon as Cooper and Brian met, they sparked, two different styles of music and two different ideas.
As a result, Brian was broken on the bridge of his nose, and Cooper was not much better, with a horrific wound on the corner of his eyebrow and 7 stitches in the hospital.
Fortunately, Robin's craftsmanship is good, and he attached Brian to the bridge of his nose, and he didn't let Cooper really break his appearance.
Originally, Tang Feng regretted his original decision, but he didn't expect the two to reconcile in the hospital, and returned to the recording studio together, planning to integrate the two different music styles together.
Although this made Tang Feng feel a little incredible, he didn't interfere too much in the work of the two, since they could reach an agreement, they should be able to have a good result.
The result still made Tang Feng very satisfied, especially the parkour part, Cooper's rap was simply amazing, and he felt like his blood was boiling when he heard it!
It is said that the two of them wrote the lyrics and composed the music together, and completed the creation of this song, which is called "Parkour" (Parkour).
At the same time, everyone also worked overtime to complete all the dubbing, and in order to achieve the most realistic effect, all the dubbing was done by the actors themselves.
The day after the whole film was completed, Harvey couldn't wait to take the copy and submit it for review.
Thanks to Harvey's efforts, the film was rated PG-13. This made Tang Feng very happy, and it can be expected that such a rating will have a huge impact on the box office.
According to Harvey, getting such a rating has a lot to do with the parkour shots.
Because no one can give a standard definition, whether that parkour shot is a violence/force shot, and should be regarded as a sport.
Harvey also grasped this point, and when someone asked questions, he immediately insisted on it, insisting that parkour should be regarded as a special sport.
In the end, after intense discussion by the review committee, it was lucky to be given PG-13.
As for Monica's passion play, it doesn't make people question too much, whether it is passion or lust/eroticism, it is already very clear at a glance.
Moreover, in the post-editing, Harvey gave full play to the power of "Caesar's Hand". This paragraph is cut to be full of beauty, but not vulgar, and has even risen to the level of art.
After getting the best ratings, they began to contact the owners of various theaters, and Harvey used almost all of his contacts to promote their films.
At the end of August, an internal test screening of "Killer Tragedy" was held at the newly renovated Heroes Bar.
In addition to the main players in the film, Harvey also invited a number of cinema managers, as well as relevant media and film critics.
After watching the film, everyone's response was enthusiastic, and even those professional film critics spoke highly of the movie.
Several theater managers said on the spot that they wanted to set the premiere of the movie in their own theaters.
This kind of thing is definitely not something that can be decided in one or two sentences, and naturally it will have to be negotiated and discussed before the number of screens and the proportion of the share can be finalized.
Therefore, Tang Feng did not rush to make decisions, but handed over the decision-making power to Harvey, and he had full authority to liaise and negotiate.
During this period, Tang Feng and Charlie also experienced the most difficult choice in their lives, and they received admission letters from USC at the same time, but unfortunately they did not receive full scholarships.
Tang Feng really wants to have an unforgettable campus experience, but helplessly, he now has to manage two companies in addition to making movies, and he no longer has so much energy.
Although William and Anne had help, he needed to make ideas about many things, so he had no choice but to give up this opportunity and concentrate on running his own company.
Charlie also wanted to choose to start a business like him, but was unanimously opposed by everyone, so he finally went to school obediently.
Fortunately, Brian also went to USC, so he could be his companion.
In order to facilitate contact, Tang Feng bought more than 20 big brothers in one go, and almost every important member was equipped with a mobile phone.
At Harvey's suggestion and accompaniment, Tang Feng also bought his first car after rebirth, an improved version of the latest Cadillac Brougham!
This is the most classic luxury car of the 90s, which has appeared in countless movies and can be said to be the standard model of Hollywood blockbusters.
The black domineering appearance, coupled with the powerful 5.7-liter V8 engine, the look and ride experience is absolutely cool!
The fly in the ointment is that such a car is not suitable for driving by himself, so Cooper, who has nothing to do, has become Tang's full-time driver.
Cooper has settled the financial dispute completely, moved out of Opton completely, rented a house near William's house for the time being, and has begun to take elementary acting lessons.
In fact, Tang Feng didn't want to buy a car at this time, but Harvey repeatedly told him that he must buy a new car before the film is released.
is not only to serve as a façade, but also to show his own successful image in front of the public.
In this way, when appearing in front of the media, it will not look too shabby.
Not only that, but he also took Tang Feng to Santa Monica and customized several expensive handmade suits for him.
In his words, "The first thing you have to learn to get ahead in Hollywood is how to dress up as a successful person." ”
Although Tang Feng was in terrible pain, he also knew that what Harvey said was right, so he followed the extravagance, and lost nearly 500,000 US dollars within a few days!
The effect was immediate, and now every time he enters and exits the office building, the security guards below maintain enough respect for him.
They no longer dare to see Tang Feng as an ordinary young boss as before.
Now, opening the door for Mr. Sean has become the most enthusiastic thing for security guards.
Because in addition to the cordial thanks and compliments, Tang Feng will give them a tip of ten dollars every time!
This was naturally Harvey's idea, although Tang Feng had never seen him tip the security guards, but he had to agree with his crooked reasoning.
"Tipping is a must-do for every successful person!"
"Don't just give, you have to give enough to show your success. ”
Tang Feng was very resistant to this meaningless move at first, and Harvey did not give an inch, "At least, before the movie is released, you must do what I say!"
"It's clearly written in our contract, and everything related to publicity must be listened to me!"
"Packaging! Packaging! is not only willing to spend money, but also decent!"
"If you don't pretend, how can you let others think that you are a real successful person and an elite, and how can you let them have enough respect and envy for you?"
"It's not just that you have to pack it thoroughly, but even your people have to do it. ”
Recalling what he had seen and heard in his previous life, Tang Feng also had to admire Harvey for seeing it thoroughly.
Indeed, as he said, many people have to wear an expensive suit or evening dress in public even if they are running out of food in order to show their success.
Vanity Fair, Vanity Fair, no name and no money, so you're still a fart?
Therefore, after drinking the poisonous chicken soup instilled by Harvey, Tang Feng simply didn't do anything, and immediately changed it for everyone from the inside out!
Even Cooper, who drove him, got a decent Armani men's clothes, and this time he lost more than 200,000 in three days, but he also won more praise from everyone.
Although in his heart, Tang Feng only felt that he was cooperating with Harvey's propaganda, but he was also distressed by his loser behavior.
You know, a small $1 million is enough to sell three houses in this year, or the kind of small villa-style apartment with a private yard!
As time goes on, the release date of the movie is getting closer and closer.
And an unprecedented storm against Tang Feng is also quietly brewing in secret.
