Chapter 26: There Is a Future

Everyone looked at each other, always feeling that Tang Feng was quibbling, but they couldn't find fault with it.

After a while, someone finally muttered in a small voice: "Want to hold an audition in the entire greater Los Angeles area?" Don't let the winners from other regions participate in the show yet? Isn't that a lie? ”

This argument was immediately agreed by everyone, and they all asked, "Sean, I didn't expect you to have such thoughts, don't you feel guilty?" ”

"As soon as the poster of the audition comes out, do you know how many people will apply, it's so immoral for you to cruelly deceive them like this!"

"I'm sorry, if you want to do that, please forgive us for not daring to be with you!"

Tang Feng helplessly waved his hands and pressed them down, motioning for them to listen to him, "I didn't say that I wanted to deceive them, who said that just now?" ”

Seeing that they were looking left and right to find out the real culprit, Tang Feng smiled bitterly, "Forget it, please listen to me, are you okay?" ”

"Actually, I just had this idea, I don't know if you have ever thought about it, if we only hold auditions in East Los Angeles, it will be unfair to people in other regions?"

After speaking, he paused slightly, giving everyone a space to think.

Soon, someone said, "It seems, it's really a little bit unfair." ”

Smiling at the assistant brother, Tang Feng continued to bewitch: "That's right! ”

"Isn't it true that we want to be free, to be equal, to be fair?"

"If we only allow residents of our own region to participate, I am afraid that it will cause dissatisfaction among others, and even more seriously, we will say that we are discriminating against the region."

"What's more, with such a good form in front of us, why don't we make good use of it?"

"What a spectacle it would be if the whole city joined us in the audition? Come to think of it, everyone was talking about this audition at that time, and everyone knew that the promoter was our East Los Angeles people. ”

"Then are we still worried that the movie will not sell well? Isn't it enough to be an advocate of such a big super show? ”

Hearing him say this, the assistant brother spoke again: "It's good, it's good, but how do you solve the contestants in other districts?" ”

Tang Feng snapped his fingers happily, "You really got the point!" ”

"Everybody knows that a lot of people come to Los Angeles every year with their dreams, but the vast majority of them don't have any opportunities at all."

So they ended up in all corners of the city, or became waitresses in restaurants, or took up other professions that had nothing to do with film. What's more, in order to make a living, they even run to Wilson Street to become the protagonist of a meat movie, or simply do bad things. ”

"I know that many people look down on them, but in fact, they are just a group of poor people who have a dream in their hearts, and they do not hesitate to gamble their youth for this dream."

What Tang Feng said happens almost all the time, how can everyone not know about it?

It's just that they usually only treat these things as jokes, and even complain that they are all outsiders, and the simple folk customs of Los Angeles have tarnished their reputation.

This is just like Tang Feng's previous life, a large number of people poured into several big cities in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, but they were always unable to truly integrate, which not only brought a lot of practical problems, but also was looked down upon by the locals.

But in fact, they all ignore the most important thing!

Without these people, who would build the cities they were proud of? How can there be high housing prices that allow them to rent out their excess properties and get them for nothing?

Including their food, clothing, housing, transportation, and entertainment, what is not closely related to these people?

His words resonated with everyone in an instant, although few people said this before, but in fact, they understood this truth in their hearts, so they were dissatisfied with Tang Feng's approach just now.

Steven agreed: "yes, a lot of the waiters in my restaurant are the kind of people you say, and they write their own scripts or practice their performances every day after work. ”

"I've laughed at them before, but now that I hear you say that, I feel like they're really not easy."

Seeing that the fire was almost over, Tang Feng said impassionedly: "So, why can't we give such a person a chance?" ”

"We're just going to audition for the entire greater Los Angeles area! Let them know that their talent will not be buried! ”

"We also want to tell them that if people discriminate against you, then come to East Los Angeles, which will always be their home base!"

That's when Hunter interrupted him, "I'm sorry, Sean, although you said it well, I can't help but interrupt you. ”

"If it's true, as you say, so many people are pouring into our neighborhood, I'm afraid it's not a good thing, and it could be a disaster!"

Speaking of this level, Tang Feng is also a little angry, although the truth is right, but it is a little exaggerated, Hunter's words gave him a wake-up call, so that he calmed down instantly.

But after thinking about it, he didn't feel that what he said was wrong, but he always felt that there seemed to be something very important, and he wanted to express it but didn't know where to start.

There was silence for a moment.

Finally, after thinking for a full five minutes, a bright light flashed in Tang Feng's eyes.

"Hunter, go and run for the next Chief Executive!"

Hunter opened his mouth in astonishment, not knowing what to say, "Huh!?" What the? ”

He only has some background just now, and he is thinking about slowly climbing up, but he has never thought about being the chief executive anyway, which is too far away for him!

When he was stunned, he heard Tang Feng say: "Hunter said a very serious problem just now, which is exactly what I didn't test, but he also gave me a wake-up call!" ”

"Why let them all flood our neighborhoods all at once? Can't we think about it from a different perspective? ”

"For example, this time, we will conduct a city-wide audition, and then those who should act in the movie will act in the movie, and as for the others, they can pick some of the best first, and then sign them!"

This time, his thoughts completely defeated everyone, and no one asked any more questions, and everyone listened quietly to what he said.

"I want to build a business company first, and then use the advantages of the audition to sign a group of excellent talents at a low price. Although the treatment will not be very good, at least it will make them no longer lose themselves in life. ”

"At the same time, I will also set up a film company, and shoot a large number of independent films that are not too expensive, so that I can slowly digest these people."

"And most importantly, if East Los Angeles wants to attract as many of these people as possible, and even become an arts center that can rival Hollywood, then there has to be a leader who absolutely supports us!"

"So, Hunter, go for the election, we're all willing to support you!"

Hunter was stupid by him, and asked inarticulately, "But, I, I don't know what to do?" ”

Tang Feng gave him an encouraging smile and continued to describe his imaginary situation to him, "Didn't I just say that I would establish my own film company?" In the future, I will build a super-large-scale sound stage, and we will have our own film training institution, our own theme park, our own film museum, and so on. ”

"Rome wasn't built in a day, we can make our dreams come true step by step! With the deepening of the construction, more and more people will definitely join in. ”

"And as more and more people come here, the whole eastern neighborhood will prosper, and then everyone's business will be better, won't it?"

"So, what you have to do is actually very simple, that is, to build our home and lead everyone to struggle together!"

Hunter was still a little confused, and stammered: "But, but, will everyone support me?" ”

Tang Feng didn't answer his words, but turned his gaze to everyone with a smile.

In fact, he didn't realize at first how shocking what he said!

It wasn't until Hunter interrupted him that he began to realize that he seemed to be unintentionally opening the door to infinite possibilities for everyone and for himself.

In the end, what he said went from meaningless talk to a very possible goal!

Whether it is a rhetorical fantasy or a plan that is enough to be implemented, you only need to look at everyone's reactions.

After Tang Feng finished speaking, not only did no one stand up to express their opinions, but everyone was seriously thinking about what he said.

For a while, the room was eerily quiet, and even anyone who breathed a little heavier would immediately attract angry eyes from everyone, because he interrupted the others' train of thought.

They were all thinking, not simply arguing about Tang Feng's idea, but measuring what kind of impact this plan would have on them after it was really implemented.

If you can have an "art capital" or a "literary and artistic base camp" in your neighborhood, such a lofty title must be good.

But if you just have such a name, but you can't get benefits for yourself, I'm afraid it won't be so good in the eyes of this group of businessmen.

The first to express his stance was Qiao Sen, the manager of the mango department store, and I heard him say: "I have to admit that the scene depicted by Sean is very beautiful, and it is also very meaningful and practical. ”

"I don't know if it will happen in the end, but I'm willing to support Hunt's candidacy as he said."

"At the same time, I will report to my superiors as soon as possible about holding a city-wide audition. But no matter what the outcome is, I am willing to be the sponsor of this event, cooperate with this audition throughout the whole process, and sponsor your movie for 2 million US dollars! ”

"It's the biggest amount I can decide."

The managers of the other two department stores also expressed their opinions: "I am willing to join this plan and support Hunter, but I hope that if you are elected, you will approve me to build two more stores." ”

"I agree, but I hope to be able to join the audition. Of course, I'm saying that if there is no result on Jyosen's side, we can also join forces to hold auditions. ”

"Right in East Los Angeles, right in a few of our department stores, we're doing an unprecedented marketing campaign together!"

With them taking the lead, others have also said that they are willing to support Hunter if he is sure to run.

No one is a fool, if you don't hurry up and stand in line at this time, do you have to wait for others to win before making a choice, and it will be worthless to express your stance at that time!

I didn't expect to get everyone's support so easily, Hunter thanked everyone again and again, and said that if he could really be elected, he would treat everyone well.

Of course, when he said everyone, he mainly refers to the residents in the jurisdiction, and if he engages in any exchange of interests now, I am afraid that he will leave a voice.

So, Hunter, who has quite a brain, didn't make any actual promises.

At this time, Tang Feng also seemed to be in high spirits, and he unconsciously whispered, "Life is not only the helplessness in front of you, but also movies and a bright future." ”
