Chapter 127: Grunge Gloss
The 100-person slashing scene of "Kill Bill" was completed three days later.
When Quentin officially announced that the scene was over and Donde was about to leave, everyone, both the actors and the crew, breathed a sigh of relief.
In the past few days, Tang De, as one of the assistant directors, has perfectly demonstrated what it means to be a tyrant on the set.
That strong deterrent and attitude that does not allow refusal makes everyone feel like a terrifying demon king. It can even be said that they are more afraid of Donde than Quentin, especially under his sharp eyes, all problems are hidden.
So as long as he appears on the set, no one dares to be lazy.
Except for Quentin, he feels that he is idle, and he only needs to communicate with the actors and the scene team separately, and he does not need to control it, and the play will show the effect he wants.
I have to say that having an assistant director like Tang De saves too much effort.
So when Donder was about to leave Tokyo, Quentin reluctantly drove him to the airport.
"Don, we'll see you back home, and we'll definitely come to the party when the time comes!" Quentin put her arms around Donde's shoulders and patted him hard.
"Don't worry, Quentin, just call me then."
"Oh, yes! Don, if I make a movie in the future, you must come and help me! Quentin remembers the drunken promise that night.
Tang De couldn't help laughing: "Of course, no problem." However, in the second half of the year, I also plan to make a film on my own, as a directorial debut. ”
"Really? Wow! Tang Dynasty! You can definitely do it! I believe you, your directing level is really much better than many directors! "Quentin has seen Tang De's strength in the past few days, not a tyrant-like character, but the ability to raise the lower limit of the movie.
No matter how bad the shots and pictures are, there is always a way to improve them here in Tang De, and there is nothing that can stump him at all.
So much so that Quentin and other crew members privately called him a jack of all trades.
So after learning about Tang De's plan, he felt excited and regretful: "But if you become a director in the future, then you may not be able to work together, which is a pity!" ”
"Who knows, Quentin." Tang De smiled and took the luggage: "Let's go." ”
"Bye-bye!"
Quentin waved his hand and said goodbye to Donde.
When the plane took off from the airport and entered the light blue sky outside the window, Don closed his eyes and kept tapping his fingers on the handrail.
I gained a lot from coming to Tokyo this time, first of all, the cooperation negotiated with Hori Weiyi Yoshiki and Katsuka Otsuka.
The two parties will jointly form a company in which Tang Tak holds 30% of the shares. Hori Wei's side is the Tokyo headquarters, and Tangtoku's side is the American branch.
Then after those artists enter this company, they will go through Tang De's selection before they can determine the candidates to go to Hollywood, after all, Tang De doesn't want to let a bunch of stinky fish and rotten shrimp come over and waste time.
When the artists arrive in Hollywood, Donder will give everyone the opportunity to appear on camera and Hollywood-style training, just in time, they can be with the group of customer service girls of the Angel Declaration.
In terms of cost, it will be paid by Hori Weiyi's side, and when the one-year gilding period is over, Tang De's side will buy a few awards for the artists, of course, it would be better if he could really win the awards on his own.
What he expected was the worst-case scenario, the artist was not adaptable, he couldn't integrate into Hollywood at all, and he couldn't show any highlights, in this case, Tang De could only buy awards with money.
After the artist returns to China from further study, Tang De will first receive a remuneration, followed by 20% of the artist's income in the next ten years.
But Don didn't care about these future earnings at all, and he didn't agree to the partnership because of how much money he could make on it.
No matter how much money he makes, it is impossible to make money without AKB48, everything he does is to pave the way for future idol agencies, and in the bustling center of Tokyo, it is difficult for an investor to take root without the help of locals.
Therefore, the relationship with the top management of Sumiyoshikai is very important. Regardless of whether there will be competitors to cause trouble in the future, or if someone in your own company wants to be a traitor, the methods of the underworld will always be more direct and effective than commercial methods.
And he's not in Tokyo himself, so he didn't order everything, and even if something bad happened, he didn't do it, right?
Thinking of this, Tang De stopped his fingers and thought of Hori Weiyi's words two days ago.
The list he gave, after searching for it, Hori Wei Yoshiki found that two of them were filming in Sekito, three were abroad, and the rest were in Tokyo.
And Yasushi Akimoto is one of the three people abroad, and Hori Yoshiki found his mobile phone number, but he couldn't get through, so he could only find his friend.
Tang De communicated with this friend on the phone, and he said that Akimoto Yasushi seemed to be going to the United States to investigate many matters about the agent, and he would not be able to come back for a while, and he did not know where he went.
Later, under Tang De's careful questioning, the friend recalled some things and told about Akimoto Yasu's past.
Kitten Club, which is the first large-scale girl group of great significance in the history of neon, is the most famous group that should belong to Shizuka Kudo, and its founder is Yasushi Akimoto.
Ever since the success of the Kitten Club in 1985, Yasu Akimoto has been obsessed with discovering new forms of this girl group, but has failed repeatedly.
So after learning the hard way, he decided to go to the United States to learn advanced artist management operations, and then returned to China again to create a new idol girl group.
It's just that he cut off contact with his friends after he went abroad, and he doesn't know what he's doing now.
Tang De, who heard the news, was a little disappointed, but he was not in a hurry, after all, there were still two full years before 05, and he always had a time to return to China.
So after a brief explanation with this friend, Tang De temporarily put down the matter.
He is now going to join the female devil crew and start working, the filming cycle of this film is not long, and when it is over, it will be the Grammy Awards.
It's been a long time since I've seen Avril, and I don't know if this rebellious punk girl still has the same hair color and says the same dirty words.
The corners of Tang De's mouth curled, as if remembering the first time he saw her.
——
A week later, Tang De was on the set of the female devil crew, looking at director Patty's directing and frowning.
Because after seeing Rob's steadiness and Quentin's genius, and then watching this kind of immature stumbling novice director, Tang De always felt that there was a dirty word in his heart that wanted to erupt.
Of course, he knew that this matter was not in his hands, but watching the movie take on a garbage luster under Patty's direction in the past few days, Tang De still felt very unhappy.
No wonder this film didn't win any production awards at major film festivals, and all the awards it won were Best Actress, and it turned out that the problem was all with the director.
Don wanted to endure it until he saw Patty change one of the photographer's brilliant lens designs to a close-up of Charlize Theron's face.
"Piety! Why? Why did you change it like this? ”
Patty Jenkins was stunned for a few seconds when she heard this, and then looked at Donde.
Maybe Tang De's eyes were too firm, so she didn't have the confidence to ask: "Uh, isn't this good?" ”
"Of course not! Patty! Don't you realize it yourself? Tang De was surprised.
But Piety retorted, "I just made some trade-offs to highlight Charlize's expression. ”
Clearly, she didn't think there was anything wrong with her directing.
But this is worse than simply having a bad level, because it represents stupid stubbornness.
