Dominating Hollywood: Starting with Scarlett

Chapter 307 Don't Want to Change
Tang De will be very busy in the next few days.

On one side was Avril and on the other was Taylor, and he had to accompany them one by one every night. These two girls were both masters of acrobatics, and they made Tang De so exhausted that he finally had to surrender.

Moreover, it is quite troublesome that these two girls always scold each other when they are together, but fortunately, they both remain restrained. Even when they scold each other, they don’t get angry and they are quite considerate of Tang De’s emotions.

However, when they returned and were interviewed by reporters, their words and actions revealed their disdain for each other.

One said the other was a country girl, and the other said the other was an out-of-date singer.

Even their respective fans could see that the two did not get along, so much so that fans on the Internet also attacked each other.

But this had nothing to do with Tang De. He was immersed in the filming until the New Year, when the entire movie was officially completed.

He then stayed in the post-production department for another three months before the film was finally completed.

However, he was in no rush to release the film, nor was he in a hurry to send it to various awards competitions for judging. Instead, he kept the film in the company, doing some reshoots and cuts from time to time, striving to make the film reach the most perfect state.

Of course, he has always been taking care of things in the company.

Rean's personal movie was just released this year, but unlike previous years, this time it mainly tells the story of Rean, the successor of the Sun Knight.

Since he committed suicide in "Lucy: War of the Veil", the movie has been telling the story of the inheritance of the Sun Knight. Rean passed on this spirit and superpowers to the next successor. Although such a story made many of Rean's fans dissatisfied, it did not arouse the disgust of the majority of the audience.

Therefore, the box office performance was stable, neither exceeding expectations nor losing any money.

Other films are also being produced, such as "John Wick 2", "The Hangover 2", "The Conjuring 2", "Despicable Me 2" and "Minions".

It can be said that these movies have a good audience base and the box office is guaranteed, so Norton's Eye and United Artists are generally favored by the market and their stocks are rising.

In addition to the Eye of Norton, the performance of Angel Declaration is also quite impressive.

Last year, Republic Records officially merged with Angelica, with Giorgio, the former president of Republic Records, serving as co-president. They also established branches in Japan, France, the United Kingdom, and the mainland, announcing their entry into the global market.

To this end, they signed many new generation singers at once, including but not limited to Billie Eilish, Selena Gomez, Lorde and others.

These singers have their own characteristics and have the potential to become big hits. It can be said that Angel Declaration’s record business is guaranteed for the next ten years.

In order to ensure that these singers including Taylor Swift can stay in Angel Declaration, Tang De also increased the share of top singers.

This is a first. After all, in the European and American record industry, record companies always take the lion's share, and the share given to singers has always remained at a uniform level.

However, Tang De adopted a tiered profit sharing system, that is, the more sales, the higher the profit sharing, which is more in line with the interests of singers than a fixed profit sharing ratio.

This also eliminates the possibility of future top singers not renewing their contracts after they expire. After all, in normal history, this is what Taylor did. She directly broke away from Universal and set up her own company to release songs.

So Tang De naturally didn't want to give other singers an excuse.

On the other hand, Supreme Creative has also developed very steadily in recent years. With its own channels, Supreme Creative has successfully expanded its reach across the United States and started to provide advertising services to companies in other regions.

Because of the large number of businesses, Supreme Creative's staff increased rapidly, reaching 800 people at one point. However, this also gave rise to a lot of corruption and gray areas.

Later, with Tang De's intervention, some redundant employees were laid off and some businesses were streamlined, which gave Supreme Creativity a new life.

Tang De’s good brother, Jimmy, also lost a lot of dividends because of this turmoil.

Because his wife Lilina's family worked at Supreme Creative and took a lot of kickbacks privately. After the company found out, they were directly fined a large sum of money.

It was only out of consideration for Jimmy's face and not wanting to put his brother in a difficult position that Tang De did not sue him and send him to jail.

However, in the end, Jimmy had to fill the hole with the money he embezzled.

But Jimmy had no complaints. He knew Tang De's temper. He was impartial and never targeted individuals. So after discussing the amount of compensation, Jimmy smiled and patted Tang De's arm: "Are you free tonight?"

"What's wrong?" Tang De asked.

"My youngest son was just born." Jimmy is not like Tang De. He has many children. He and Lilina have three children in the past few years, both a boy and a girl.

Tang De would occasionally visit his home, so he knew all his children. However, he did not expect that the fourth child would be born not long after.

"That's amazing, Jimmy, do you want to give birth to a basketball team?" Tang De laughed and punched Jimmy.

"Basketball team? You know what, that's a really good suggestion." Jimmy replied, "But I don't think Lilina would agree."

"Indeed, since she married you, she hasn't worked much and has been focusing on having children." Tang De couldn't understand this idea.

Jimmy, however, seemed to enjoy it.

"So what? Our family is not short of money, and don't you think it would be fun to have so many children?"

Tang De shrugged: "I used to think so, but I don't think so anymore since Elena became a little rebellious."

Children in Europe and the United States mature early and become rebellious early. Now Elena has shown signs of being disobedient. Occasionally, when Tang De says something, she will refute him.

If there were a few more, Tang De would probably feel annoyed.

"You should ask Jessica for her opinion...Oh, I forgot, you also have to ask Avril, Scarlett, Taylor, and Cindy for their opinions."

Jimmy teased Tang De and then patted him on the shoulder: "It's settled. Come to my house for dinner tonight."

"no problem."

"Oh, don't bring anything."

"Okay, since you want to save me money, I won't refuse."

After saying that, Jimmy left the office.

Tang De continued to handle the company's business.

That night, Tang De had a simple meal at Jimmy's house.

Lilina and the children received him warmly, but perhaps because of giving birth to babies one after another, Lilina's figure was a little out of shape. She said that she had been exercising, but with little success, and even had to adopt a ketogenic diet.

The same goes for Jimmy. He has gained a lot of weight since getting married, and he even deliberately exposes his belly to Tang De.

In his words, he expressed his envy of Tang De for being able to maintain his figure.

Listening to them talking about these trivial matters, Tang De realized that so many years had passed since he traveled through time.

The capable white boy back then has become the father of four children and has started to become greasy.

Everyone else has become very different from how they were at the beginning, and the subject of their conversation has changed from money to family, from dreams to trivialities.

However, this kind of change is exactly what Tang De least wants to see. He feels that he is still young, only in his thirties, still in his prime, and there is no need for him to be molded into a lump of mud by life.

So after thinking about it, Tang De called Fischer, booked a flight for tomorrow, and prepared to take the flight attendant to the Maldives.
