The Wolf of Los Angeles

Chapter 142 Rebellion

As long as Hawke analyzes it slightly, it is not difficult for those present to find that they are at an absolute disadvantage.

Hawke summarized the current situation: "We have been completely suppressed on the media and public opinion, and there is no tangible evidence at the legal level. The power has been rejected and targeted by almost all Hollywood giants. The funds are still on unknown compensation and commissions, and we still need to advance funds. .”

He was as optimistic as possible: "The only advantage, Brian got the three victims to come forward and charge."

Edward didn't think anything was there. Did his boss face such a Shura field?

Caroline has worked with Hawke for more times and has performed very easily.

Brian's assistants Becken and Sandra were frowning.

"Everyone understands the basic situation." Hawke took away the dominance without hesitation: "Now, targeted work deployment."

He looked at Brian: "There is no progress on LAPD without tangible evidence, and you push the three victims to formally launch a lawsuit, which involves their legal energy."

Brian reminded: "Carolyn said just now that the other party will target them..."

Hawke said: "Can we give them millions of dollars? There are loopholes everywhere and it's impossible to prevent it. So, opening up new battlefields, with the age of Van Wagren and Robert Redford, these things are impossible. It has only begun in recent years that there is absolutely no way for only three victims to continue to do their work. If they do not have the knowledge, they will continue to search."

Caroline learned more and interrupted: "It is easy to find potential victims. Compared with the works they led, all underage actors, whether boys or girls, are likely to have been harassed or intruded."

Brian said to the two assistants: "You guys do this."

Hawke looked at Caroline: "You go to contact the Los Angeles Parents and Teachers Federation and apply for assistance from them not limited to media and legal levels. Then, based on the situation of the three, write a media notice to find something that is easy to attract people. Add Lenovo photos and the like to match them, mobilize your resources and connections in the media with great fanfare, and put on the stance of creating media public opinion."

Caroline thought for a while and said, "Isn't this your past style of operating public opinion?"

"Now that my opponent knows that I have worked with Brian, I will definitely study my style." Hawke is very clear that the media is not on his side at all this time, and the past methods are not very useful: "Doing this can attract their attention force."

Now, even Brian couldn't figure out what Hawke really wanted to do.

Hawke said to everyone: "Borrowing and provoking are the most common methods used in such incidents. They will definitely contact you. If there is any, they will firmly refuse first and then ask for a deposit depending on the situation. Do you understand?"

There are no fools here, and you can understand what Hawke means at first.

Hawke said, "Everyone, go to work."

Everyone became busy as he arranged his arrangement.

Seeing that there was no one else here, Brian asked, "Can this be done?"

"No." Hawke said the truth: "We have too many disadvantages, and there are loopholes everywhere. You will inevitably lose by relying on these alone."

He walked towards the security room, waited for Brian to follow and said, "We need other means to win."

Brian asked, "You have a plan?"

Hawke said: "Let your people secretly stare at every person involved, don't be too careful, and be found out as if they don't know."

The two entered the security room and discussed for a long time.

During this period, Hawke was staring at the surveillance screen. At this time, he pointed to a picture and said, "They came so fast, did you see it? The car stopped for more than ten minutes, but the people in the car didn't get out."

Brian didn't expect that there would be rewards on the first day of surveillance installation.

He glanced at Hawk and sighed inwardly that everyone is proficient in different things.

Hawke picked up his bag: "Okay, it's time for me to move out and let them see me contact the media that cooperates the most."

Brian understands: "Fox Channel 11."

Hawke got out of the villa, drove into the Mercedes-Benz, and went straight to the Focus TV Center along Beverly Avenue.

Someone followed behind him, because he noticed it in advance, and Hawke soon discovered that at least two cars were following him.

Hawke didn't know anything, so he parked into the underground of the Forks Building, took the elevator to Channel 11, and went straight into Megan Taylor's office.

Meghan was reading tonight's news copy when he saw him come in and said, "Is there any important news?"

Hawke put the manuscript he brought on his desk: "Spread it?"

Megan picked it up and looked carefully, her golden eyebrows frowned slightly, and said, "The news is not sure. There are neither photos nor videos, and there is also a lack of third-party witnesses."

Hawke said directly: "A different playback method is called reprinting news from other media."

In fact, this does not meet the regulations, which is what Hawke brought. If it were someone else, Meghan would not consider it: "You are helping me with a lot of trouble."

"Your boss will never cause trouble for you." Hawke specifically asked Brian, and Fox's position was clear: "She will treat it as invisible."

"Not to be an example." Meghan closed it. How the news is displayed and the audience sees it, it has been carefully designed by the program team.

Although the media cannot preset a position for formal news reports, the media and the people who eat media are all living in the real world. How many news does not have a preset position today?

Megan said, "Go to my house tonight?"

"I want to do it too." Hawke couldn't drag her down: "But I took a job that was a bit dangerous, followed by a few tails."

Megan stood up and walked towards the door.

Hawke reminded: "Don't let someone knock on the door."

Megan opened the office door and told the new assistant Elsa who was sitting at the door: "I have something important to talk about, don't let people disturb me."

Elsa responded, “Yes.”

Megan locked the office door when she came back, and before she could turn around, Hawke pushed her behind the door.

Not long after, Elsa found that the office door was shaking, and the pace was different, sometimes fast and sometimes slow.

Not far from the underground parking lot of Fox Building, a mixed-race black man picked up his cell phone and made a phone call in a modern car parked on the side of the road.

When the other side was connected, he said, "Target No. 2 was expected to enter Fox TV."

"Continue to stare at him."

This night, neither side stopped.

Sasha started running around in the afternoon, collecting information about the three child stars and their family and friends, and was busy until nearly 11 o'clock before walking back.

When she arrived near her home, her cell phone vibrated and a strange public phone called.

Sasha didn't go to pick it up, so she hung up and deleted the communication record.

She parked her car in front of her home, took out the key and opened the mailbox first, took out a thick file bag from it, and returned to her home.

Taking out a bottle of water and pouring half of the bottle in one breath, Sasha felt much more comfortable. She came to the desk, opened the file bag, and took out the thick information inside.

The above is full of Rachel Wood's information, including family and property status, performance at school, etc.

Sasha first read it, took out some paper, sorted out the materials, wrote them in her own writing style, and was busy until after 1 a.m.

The next morning, Sasha brought these information and went straight to the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly.

Director Van Wagren has a long-term private room in the hotel, and the house is large enough to be used as a contact center here for the time being.

At eight o'clock in the morning, Rooney Chasen came to the hotel and met Sasha who was waiting in the lobby.

She asked as she walked towards the elevator, "Is there any gain so soon?"

Sasha said, “There is an important discovery.”

Rooney nodded, “Let’s talk about it upstairs.”

The two went upstairs together and entered Wagren's private room. Sasha took out the sorted information and handed it to Rooney: "I found two old neighbors before Rachel's move yesterday, and went to Rachel before transferring to school. The middle school I attended collected some information that Wagren didn’t know.”

Rooney glanced at the watch and said, "Tell me the point."

Sasha quickly said: "Rachel's mother can be persuaded because the new family owes a large mortgage and the financial products she purchased have caused serious deficits and may face a serious financial crisis after the New Year."

She said again Rachel: "When the person was studying at the original Palm Tree Middle School, he was not very careful in his daily life. He dated boys since he was 11 years old. In the three years of school at Palm Tree Middle School, she had dated at least eight boyfriends, only more than Many!”

Rooney was very satisfied: “You did a great job.”

Sasha added, “If you need it, I can find these boys.”

The door opened at this time and people came in one after another.

Walking in the front was a middle-aged man wearing glasses, gray hair and serious face, which was Van Wagren.

Next to it is an old handsome guy who looks about 60 years old, with outstanding temperament and elegant demeanor, Wagren's best friend Robert Redford.

Following the two was a woman wearing gold-rimmed glasses, Cheryl, the lawyer of Waglen.

Wagren asked Rooney with a little concern between her eyebrows: "Is there any progress?" Rooney shook the information in her hand: "There is a major progress."

Cheryl suggested: "Have a meeting first and talk about the current situation."

Rooney called Sasha and said, "The situation was discovered by my assistant, she knows more."

The five people entered the conference room together.

Sasha said again what she had just said.

"This discovery is very critical." Cheryl starts from a lawyer's perspective: "If Rachel himself is unpredictable and put it in court, her words are extremely credible."

Rooney's thinking is different from that of a lawyer: "I don't think there is a need to go that way. Rachel is a good breakthrough. What they want is nothing more than money. We spend a little money, and through these situations we have mastered, it is enough to turn the situation around. ”

Robert Redford thought the same way she thought: "It's better to end as soon as possible."

Cheryl nodded slightly and said no more.

In the end, Wagren was going to make the decision. He thought that this matter involved several other people, especially Pope from the governor's office, and said, "That's right, get it done as soon as possible."

Rooney said: "Next, I will go to meet Rachel and her daughter with Sasha. Rachel is a well-known child star and may have to pay more than money."

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

Redford understood the meaning of this: "Tell them that I am participating in the preparation of a mainstream work of tens of millions of dollars, called "Charlotte's Web", and the first heroine is a little girl."

"Okay." Rooney's confidence surged and said specifically: "Everyone, I informed you yesterday that the opponent is not only Brian Ferguson, but now Hawke Osmon's West Coast Media and Entertainment Studio has been added. The man held Steve Nat in one hand and created a selfie door. I carefully studied several of his cases last night. He is particularly good at using the media and public opinion. "

Wagren also specifically learned: "It is indeed a guy who is very good at using public opinion. Whether it is Steve Nat or the selfie door, he mobilized the media and used public opinion to achieve a reversal. We must pay attention to him. ”

Redford was confident: "They couldn't speak out on this matter."

Because this not only involves many Hollywood forces, but also some important figures in the media circle.

Redford and Wagren knew exactly what the nature of the incident was.

This is not a simple infringement case.

Rooney said at this time: "Since yesterday, I have mobilized elites to secretly follow Hawke, and he went to Fox TV."

Redford frowned: "One of the mainstream media is one we cannot influence."

Cheryl reminded: "Last night, Channel 11's "Ace News" reposted the relevant reports. They did not have any clear evidence. I will send them a lawyer's letter this morning."

"Start at them," Wagren said.

"Robert, you contact the media again today." Rooney suggested: "We don't need an overly noisy public opinion environment."

She looked at Cheryl again: "You keep a close eye on the legal level."

Cheryl nodded slightly.

Rooney finally said to Wagren, "So calm down recently, don't do anything out of the ordinary."

Wagren said, "Don't worry about me."

Cheryl said to Sasha, "Let's go find Rachel and her mother."

Everyone started to act.

Redford went to another room to make a phone call, and the first call was called to the Los Angeles Times, and then newspapers such as Hollywood Reporter and Variety Show were all gone.

Several other TV networks also called.

On the last call, Redford called Pope.

Sacramento City, Pope is driving out after finishing his business.

He received a call from Redford, stopped on the road and asked, "You haven't done it yet?"

Redford said: "Don't worry, they have no evidence, and it will reverse it for two or three days at most."

Pope said, "I'll wait for your good news."

Redford hung up the phone, came out of the room, and saw Wagren staring at the movie poster frame on the wall in a daze.

This is the poster of the movie "Lolita", and his favorite.

Redford warned the old guy: "Control yourself during this time, don't use your unused things everywhere."

Wagren said, "You don't know me yet? I can tell the difference."

Redford was about to leave when he remembered another thing: "I asked you the last time, invite those people to have fun, you didn't have a video?"

"How could I record the video!" said Wagren, "Isn't that asking for trouble?"

Redford nodded, "It's good that you know."

Wagren made up his mind and couldn't ask anyone, and he said nothing.

Anyway, he hid it very tightly.

...

On the other side, Sasha drove Rooney to Paramount Studios.

Rooney closed the information in her hand and asked, "Have you ever met someone from the West Coast Studio?"

"I have met Caroline before, and I have seen two people, but it seems there are only two." Sasha mainly plays an honest and reliable character and says whatever she knows: "One is Hawk Osmon, the other is a black man, born in Conp Dun."

Rooney became interested: "The people who came from Compton are basically all bastards."

Sasha thought of the dirty things that the black little coach did and said, "That black man is indeed a bastard."

"Haoke Osmon instigated Caroline and plotted against me." Rooney had a strong sense of revenge: "If you find an opportunity, instigate his subordinates, you may have unexpected gains."

Sasha nodded, “I’ll give it a try.”

Rooney put down the information and called Rachel.

She knew how to get someone out, and called her: "Hello, I am the producer of the crew of "Charlotte's Net". We intend to invite Miss Rachel Wood to play the leading role in the crew..."

The person over there asked, "You're not lying?"

Rooney said: "We can meet now. If you have time, you can come to Paramount Studios and I'll wait for you in the crew studio."

There was ecstatic: "Okay, let's go there right away."

Sasha's car drove to Paramount Studios. Because Redford greeted him in advance, the two successfully entered the crew studio and borrowed a producer's office.

Not long after, Rachel Wood and Mrs. Wood came here together.

The advanced studio and the producer's office were also in the producer's office, and the two of them had no doubt that there was anything else.

When he saw Rooney, Mrs. Wood asked hurriedly: "You really want to invite Rachel to be the heroine? I have read "Charlotte's Net", a very excellent novel."

Rooney went straight to the point: "It is indeed intended to invite, but as far as I know, Rachel is a little troublesome and the crew doesn't like the actors in trouble."

Mrs. Wood wasn't stupid either, and understood what was going on: "Are you here for that **** Van Wagren?"

Instead of answering her question, Rooney said: "Do you know how many popular child stars there are in this role? Do you know how much the pay? The investment in this project is more than $50 million, and the heroine's pay is as high as $3 million. If Rachel gets it In this role, your family’s financial crisis will be resolved smoothly, and Rachel will have a bright future and will be supported by big directors and big producers.”

Mrs. Wood didn't say anything, Rachel reached out and pulled her, trying to shake her head, but was so nervous that she couldn't speak by her mother's stern eyes.

Rooney said again: "You are standing up for the lawsuit, just for money. Don't say that you don't have evidence. Even if there is evidence, we have some ways to delay this lawsuit for half a year or even longer. Can you hold on? ”

She hit the nail on the head: "How many boyfriends have Rachel dated in school? It's the first time a long time ago, right? I need to find all the boys she has dated and describe to the media how the two of them do it? Do you think the public and the court believe what an indecent girl said? Are you really ready to face the whipping and beating of the media and public opinion across the United States?”

Rachel lowered her head, and she had no thoughts.

Mrs. Wood hesitated for a moment: "Can all what you said be fulfilled?"

"Of course." Rooney smiled: "The crew can even sign with Rachel first."

Her smile suddenly disappeared: "But after signing the contract, you must obey my arrangement."

Mrs. Wood thought about it, and after a while, she replied, "Okay, I agree."
