The Wolf of Los Angeles

Chapter 103 I'm willing to pay any price

Century City, Beverly Business Club.

Hawke was dressed in formal attire, and walked into the door with his little brother Edward with his bag, and asked the front desk. The beautiful front desk lady brought the two to a private room.

Caroline was sitting outside the private room with Hermes in her arms.

Seeing her strange expression, Hawke asked, "What's wrong? Did you accidentally eat the sheep dung ball?"

"Hey, **** country bumpkin!" Caroline was angry: "I'm introducing your business to you. Can you respect me?"

Hawke looked like I respect you very much: "What is the business? Who is the client? You asked on the phone, but you didn't say it."

Of course, Caroline led the way on purpose: "You will know when you go in."

Hawke followed her into the private room and saw the tall man sitting inside. Although his face was calm, he was a little surprised.

It turned out to be Josh Hartnett!

This circle is really small.

Caroline held back her smile and introduced both sides, but the corners of her raised mouth and raised eyebrows still showed a hint of pride.

Shake hands on both sides and sit opposite each other.

Will goes straight to the topic: "Haoke, don't you know you've followed Josh's news? Now Josh is in a lot of trouble and has been terminated by three crews in succession."

He carefully explained Josh Hartt this morning and his recent encounter.

Some Hawk knew, some he didn't, such as what happened this morning, and what happened to his black girlfriend, etc.

After Johnson signed the male lead contract with the crew, Hawke ended the business and threw it aside.

Who would have thought that the loser would come to him, not to cause trouble, but to ask him to do crisis public relations.

What a bad thing!

Hawke quickly made self-regulation and said, "Find a black girlfriend is a good way, but it requires long-term persistence. In the short term, you will even encounter public opinion counterattacks, criticizing you for finding it for the sake of finding it."

Josh said, "It's true." He sighed, "The other party has announced publicly that he is just friends with me."

Hawke said directly: "Actually, your public relations manager is right. If you persist for a long time, it will not work. If you don't have the property to get a fair marriage, you will always forget this incident and you will return slowly."

"It took too long." Josh couldn't wait that long: "The competition in Hollywood is too fierce. There are hundreds of people and thousands of people in one position. Many of them have better acting skills than me. If I can struggle, I will have more good luck. It's hard for me to become popular again.

He has seen many celebrities who have been very popular and have been in decline for a while: "It's too difficult to become famous."

Hawke understood: "You want to get rid of the negative impact in the short term and create a certain amount of popularity, so as to return to the audience and the media's sight, so that the Hollywood crew will no longer reject you, right?"

"That's it." After seeing Steve, Josh wanted more: "If we could become a special symbol like Steve Nat, we could think of something immediately when we talk about it. I'll be even better."

Will looked at Josh and felt that the request was not very reliable.

Even if Josh is the most popular, when "Pearl Harbor" was released, it was just average. When the media mentioned him, it was mostly negative, such as lack of acting skills and lack of spirit.

Hawke was thinking carefully.

If you spend the time longer, this matter is not difficult at all, but the closer Josh gets to Lao Hei in the short term, the more criticized he will be.

Hawk thought for a moment, and couldn't help but curse something swearing in his heart. What a bad thing!

Do you have to solve the problems you create yourself?

Focus on one's own production and sales?

Hawke said: "It's not easy to be a special symbolic figure like Steve Nat."

After Josh's star dream was awakened again by Will, he further sublimated: "I am willing to pay any price!"

Hawke shook his finger: "It's not that serious."

Will then answered: "Fan fans and audiences are forgetful. If you take your time, you will forget Josh when they forget the troubles faced by Josh. After all, Josh is just a new star, not a first-line star. , no confidence."

Hawke pondered for a moment and said, "Let's do this, you provide me with a copy of Josh's information, including his own situation, his past movies, his connections, emotional history, etc. The more detailed the better."

On the way back, Will asked Caroline carefully, and Hawke pushed Steve Nat to his current position with one hand.

Without any hesitation, he said, "Give me some time, I'll go back and prepare."

Josh suddenly had a fantasy: "Can you do it?"

Hawke explained in advance: "I'll look at your information and think of a solution first. If I can think of a solution, I will contact you to sign a contract. If there is no solution, I will return the information as it is and there is no charge for it."

Josh felt it was reliable: "Okay."

Hawke exchanged contact information with the two and left Beverly Club.

Josh and Will drove away first.

After the person left, Hawke glanced at Caroline and said angrily: "Miss Me, come with me."

Caroline mentioned Hermes and blocked her bulging chest: "What do you want to do?"

Hawke took out $5 and stuffed it into her hand: "Talk about $5."

Caroline collected the money and came to the shade with him, saying, "Don't get me wrong, I just want to introduce your business to you."

The dollar signs flashed in her eyes: "You have done this order, don't forget to give me a commission."

"I will give it." Hawke glanced at her red high heels: "I will chop off your red sheep's hooves and cook a pot of soup for you to drink."

Caroline was displeased: "I kindly help you with business..."

Hawke interrupted her: "Is that so? You are kind to watch the fun."

Caroline smiled happily: "I just want to see how you can make trouble yourself and solve it yourself."

Hawke didn't joke: "What do you think?"

Edward, who had never spoken before, suddenly interrupted: "Take him to Compton Station Street, specialize in picking up black clients, and then take pictures..."

"You can shut up," Caroline said. "Time is the best way, but he's too anxious."

Hawke said: "He is a star, and he is still a down-and-out star. It is normal to see Steve's demeanor, envy and jealousy lead to an imbalance in his mentality."

When it comes to Steve, Caroline has something to say: "Steve's performance on the court has become worse since he became an equal rights fighter."

Hawke spread his hands: "I can't control these, my contract with Steve is over."

Caroline's topic goes back to Josh: "You have thought of a solution?"

Hawke shook his head: "Not yet, don't worry, I won't give you a commission even if I think about it. This is the business introduced by Steve."

Money is Miss Me’s lifeblood, and she said, “I only need five percent.”

Hawke PUA succeeded: "What if you use it?"

Caroline immediately said, "Anytime call."

Hawke sent the man away, got into Mondeo, and asked Edward to drive back, and he sat in the passenger seat and thought.

Not to mention the difficulty or ease, customers will take the initiative to deliver it to their doorsteps, and whenever possible, they will make a big order.

When the two returned to the studio, Edward received a call from a news informant who wanted to go out to take pictures.

Hawke searched for information about Josh Hartnet through the Internet.

The Irish-born male star made her debut in 1997 and is truly famous in Sofia Coppola's "The Death of a Virgin".

Later, he starred in Michael Bay's war blockbuster "Pearl Harbor".

It is one of the protagonists of that **** love triangle.

Hawke has an impression that the three protagonists of the film, namely Daben, have developed better, after all, his thighs are very thick.

Josh Hartnett and Kate Beckinsale both developed very well.

The Nokia phone ringing sounded, but it was Johnson who called it.

Hawke connected and joked, "Big Hero, is there anything wrong with me?"

Johnson was busy rehearsing and said, "It's not me looking for you, it's Joanna Fies."

Hawke remembers her: "Alison's mother."

"Yes, haven't she talked to you on the boat?" Johnson said quickly, "You promised her to check out Alison's information first."

Hawke said, "You ask her to come to Fountain Street to find me."

Johnson said, "I asked her to go there directly. She was afraid that you would not pay attention to it, so she insisted on letting me call you first. Okay, I'll let her go there now."

After hanging up the phone, Hawke waited for less than half an hour before someone knocked on the door.

He went over and opened the door, and Joanna stood outside the door with a briefcase.

Hawke brought in and got a bottle of water.

"Thank you." Joanna opened the briefcase, took out a large stack of information, and said, "After getting off the boat, I have been collecting all kinds of information about Alison. There are too many things and too messy, and it's only time to understand it today. .”

Hawke asked, “I remember the last time you said, will Alison’s new album go the **** route?”

Joanna said: "Yes, the song style is very exciting, and the MV design is a bit larger, but the song...how to say, the best song resources will not fall into the hands of singers of Alison's level." Hawke was not surprised by this. If Alison could easily become popular, Joanna would not have come to him.

Thinking of Alison's coquettishness on the boat, Hawke specifically reminded him in order to avoid a hell-level start: "Joe, the new album is about to be released, so you'd better be able to restrain Alison."

"She was a little late in her rebellious period, and I don't know why, she is so keen on promiscuity." Joanna was quite troubled: "I try my best to restrain her."

Hawke glanced at her darker skin: "There is another question, are you similar to Dawn, and you have black bloodlines?"

Joanna admitted openly: "Alison and I are both mixed-race blacks."

"I understand." Hawke took the information handed over by Joanna: "I'll study it carefully first, and I'll contact you if I have an idea."

Joanna stood up and said, "I won't disturb you anymore. Alison's first single MV is about to be filmed. I want to go back and stare at her and make her feel more at ease these days."

Hawke sent the person out, came back and picked up the pile of information, and started to read it carefully.

Joanna got into the car and called. She answered and asked, "Is there anything wrong?"

There is a banker there: "Ms. Feis, the 30-day extension of your mortgage and commercial loan application is about to expire. Please pay attention to repaying the loan in time."

"I remember." Joanna hung up the phone and slapped the steering wheel hard. The huge pressure made her look like she was crazy.

No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!

It took a long time before she calmed down and called an acquaintance in the bank to apply for a second extension.

Let her try it there.

Joanna started the car, headed to Beverly Hills, and returned home.

This is a large villa with a patio, and in addition to the Porsche she drove, there are two luxury cars parked in the garage.

It is not easy to maintain a luxurious life, and mortgage loans are so high.

Joanna didn't want to be demoted in life, so she called several times in a row, wanting to borrow another loan.

She knew very well that as long as Alison became popular, her daughter would become a money printing machine, and these problems nowadays were nothing.

Before the divorce lawsuit with her ex-husband, Joanna invested a lot of money to buy a luxury house and a luxury car, and created a top-notch life, snatching her daughter.

Although she is a mother, she believes that her daughter can bring greater rewards, which is also the key.

The person Joanna envied the most was Jamie Spears because he had a daughter named Britney.

Suddenly, there was a movement coming from the upper floor.

Joanna hurried upstairs and found her daughter's door open and two big boys were dancing wildly.

"Get out! Get out!" Joanna felt dizzy and picked up the thing and threw it over.

The two **** boys who were taking drugs were not completely confused yet, so scared that they picked up their clothes and ran away.

Joanna entered the room and almost got angry to death when she saw her daughter's appearance.

Alison squatted on the ground, his face full of soy milk.

Joanna took a towel and threw it on her head: "Can you love yourself a little?"

"Didn't you do this before?" Alison wiped his face casually: "I've learned from you."

Joanna couldn't say a word, and it turned out that Allison, who was a child, saw what she did.

Allison's words can make people angry: "Mom, you often tell me that you should learn from you, don't learn from your father, I've been learning from you."

As his eyes turned dark, Joanna quickly held the door frame and said, "Don't mess around before the record is released, just beg you as a mother."

"But what should I do if I don't come for two days?" Alison seemed to be addicted.

Joanna gritted her teeth, went back to her room, took a machine and threw it to her daughter: "Use this machine."

Alison pointed at the thing and laughed haha.

Joanna went downstairs and sat on the couch and sulked, and it would be great if Allison could be as obedient as Britney.

The two big boys put on their clothes randomly, ran out of Joanna's house, and got into a car on the side of the road.

One of them took out his latest photo phone, opened the album, and said to the other person, "Look, I've taken it well."

The man came over to see the photos of Alison and Soy Milk.

The person holding the phone pressed the page and turned the page. The pictures appeared one by one, mostly close-ups of Alison's facial features.

Some of them also include their brothers.

The previous person put away his cell phone and started the car: "Go and go back and enjoy it slowly."

"Well, I'll look good when I go back. This out-of-date little singer is so exciting."

...

Fountain Street, West Coast Studio.

Hawke was dizzy when he saw the information, and got up and went to the window to look at the ranch park opposite.

The second-hand business car drove back at this time, and Edward got out of the car with his work bag and returned to the studio.

"Have you taken the exclusive photo?" Hawke asked.

Edward was helpless: "I rushed over, and everyone was gone."

Hawke thought for a while and said, "In the future, unless you encounter major news, the rest of the celebrities go shopping and quarrels, don't go again."

He thinks in the long run: "For the rest of your time, you learn more, such as video editing, image processing, text editing, etc."

Edward was shocked and silly: "Boss, I'd better go out, I'm best at these."

Hawke shook his head and said, "Good at picking up the bucket and running away."

Edward scratched his head with a smile: "I must be ahead of the heavy work, tiring work and dangerous work."

Speaking of danger, Hawke remembered one thing: "On the shooting range, have you passed the exam?"

"Uh..." Edward said quickly, "I will go if I have time."

Hawke said: "Like the last yacht incident, you may encounter it in the future. Will I be ahead of you or you be ahead of me?"

Edward said, "Boss, I promise, it will be done this month."

The ringtone of the cell phone rang at this time, and Edward took out his phone to connect and talked to the people there for a while.

He hung up and said to Hawke: "The call from Da Chou, he said that the Mexican guy he had been following was not in good condition and had a high fever for a long time."

Hawke remembered, at the back door of Ackerman Charity Rescue Station, the homeless man who reminded him to be careful of the Mule Gang.

Edward looked at Hawke: "Do we care?"

Hawke remembered the traces left by the other party with a long gun on his hand, and said, "You go to the Ackerman Rescue Station to see the specific situation. If he has a legal identity, he will be sent to the hospital. If not, Send it to Korea City, I'll wait for you at the intersection of Beverly Avenue to Korea City. There is a clinic in Korea City. As long as you are willing to pay, they will treat patients."

"I'll set off now." Edward immediately packed up his things and went out first.

Hawke took some essentials and cash, then went out and drove into the car and headed straight for Korea City.

Soon, he arrived at Beverly Avenue and found a parking space to park the car.

After waiting for a while, Edward called and said, "Campos has no legal identity."

Hawke didn't say nonsense: "Come to Korea City."

On the other hand, Edward hung up the phone and asked Da Chou and Er Chou, as well as several Mexican homeless men to carry Campos into the car, greeted Da Chou and Er Chou and drove straight to Korea City.

It was smooth all the way, and he met Hawke on the edge of Beverly Avenue.

"Follow me." Hawke waved to the business car, drove into Korea City, and turned into a community, where the car was parked at the back door of a clinic.

He got out of the car and knocked on the door, and an Asian mixed-race appeared behind the door.

Hawke didn't say anything, and took out two dollars and stuffed them in: "There is a patient, the homeless."

The Asian mixed-race opened the door, went to the side of the car, looked at Campos's forehead, then opened his eyelids and looked, and waved his hands into the door: "There is a wheelchair behind the door, push the person in."

Hawke pushed his wheelchair next to the business car.

Big Chou, Er Chou and Edward carried the man into a wheelchair.

The Asians pointed to the first two and said, "They are so scary and are waiting outside."

Hawke asked the two to get in the car and waited, and accompanied Edward into the clinic.

There is a wound on Campos' leg that has not been effectively treated for a long time. The weather has been hot recently, which has caused an infection and a fever.

Fortunately, the situation is not particularly serious.
