The Wolf of Los Angeles

Chapter 143 Terrible Video

Cadillac stopped on Beverly Avenue, Edward got out of the car and hurried into the door. When he entered the villa, he saw Hawke and Caroline talking in a low voice, and waited for a moment.

Hawke ended the secret conversation with Caroline, looked at the sweat on Edward's head, and asked, "What's going on?"

"I was instigated by someone!" Edward finished speaking, realizing that something was wrong and corrected: "Is someone here to instigate me."

He pointed at Caroline: "Miss Me, that female assistant, I want to give me $30,000."

Hawke said directly: "Thank her $50,000."

Caroline agrees: "Since Sarah is here to do it, there is a high possibility of getting the money."

Hawke asked, "She is waiting for you to reply to the news?"

Edward said, "She called me about ten minutes ago and I said I would think about it."

Hawke said directly: "Ask her out for an interview, ask her to bring the money, and give what I told you before as a secret to her."

Edward left in a hurry.

"Those data seem to be useful," Caroline said.

Hawke nodded, and before he could speak, Brian came back from outside.

When he saw Hawke, he was frowning: "You're right, Rachel's mother called me and unilaterally terminated the contract and wanted to withdraw from the lawsuit."

Hawke had already expected this result: "If you can't defend yourself, you can only attack if you want to win."

"It took me two weeks to talk about Rachel and her daughter." Brian shook his head: "In just two days, the most important position was lost."

Hawke comforted, “It’s not our fault, because our opponents can bring out the resources they desperately need, but we can’t.”

"I informed Sandra and Becken to contact the child stars who have worked with Wagren and Redford as soon as possible," Brian said.

Caroline interrupted, "We are completely passive. No one is willing to publish related news except for the forums that can post on their own, from newspapers to TV stations and the Internet."

She also said: "The Los Angeles Parents and Teachers Federation, which claims to be super caring about child actors and often goes to the set to check whether the crew guarantees the rights of child actors. After receiving my call, she just said that they would conduct an investigation, but one of me was in it. The informant said the Federation did not move anyway.”

Hawke said the fact: "If they were really dedicated, would there be so many child stars in Hollywood be violated?"

"They're like a plate," Brian said.

"You haven't done a good job in the media over the years," Hawke said intently.

This is of course related to how little resource support Bryan has received.

It is better to experience it yourself than to say it a hundred times. Brian nodded: "It is true. We only have news clues, but we cannot form a public opinion offensive."

"I have an idea about the media, and maybe we can talk about it after this matter is over," Hawke said.

Brian knew he had more ways: "Yes."

Hawke's cell phone rang at this time. He answered and asked, "Have you noticed it?"

Campos on the other side said: "We mainly tracked Wagren and Redford, both of whom were very careful. Wagren has not left the Four Seasons Hotel in recent days. Carlos took advantage of the opportunity to recruit cleaners in the hotel. After getting into the hotel, Redford was always wandering between home and hotel, and he didn't find it yet."

"Be careful," Hawke said.

Campos answered, “Yes.”

"This is the case for now." Hawke hung up the phone.

Brian asked, “No progress?”

Hawke shook his head, "You need to think of something else to mobilize them."

He looked at Caroline, who shook his head.

Hawke kept secret hands there, but if the dark boy wants to play his role, he has to wait until the other party reveals his flaws.

Brian has submitted legal procedures. Now that Rachel has withdrawn, many things need to be started again, Judy and Amanda may also withdraw.

Hawke came to the security room and watched the surveillance video. There were at least two cars outside, monitoring this place.

Brian followed in and asked, "Do you think they will definitely shoot videos?"

"It's not them, but the organizer Wagren." Hawke asked back, "Why do you want to take pictures of those models and celebrities?"

"It's fun and memorable," Brian said.

Hawke said: "Hollywood people also like to play. Will Wagren, a director who is a photographer, not take a sneak shot at all? Can he bear it? Especially when he organizes a party with a purpose, there is no video or list, and the other party What should I do if I don’t accept the promised help?”

Brian thought of himself: "If others invite me to have fun, I must be careful!"

Hawke patted his shoulder: "If you have a big goal, don't go."

Caroline came over and knocked on the door, waited for Brian to open the door, reminding him, "Watch TV."

The three of them came to the living room, the TV was turned on, and they switched to a news program on NBC.

Rachel appears on the TV screen.

There is a brief interview with the program.

The female host asked, "Recently, there is news that you accused director Van Wagren of the infringement through the media. Is this true?

Both sides had rehearsed in advance, and Rachel replied: "This is not true. I made a serious mistake and I lied."

Although she was young, she had many years of acting experience and tears immediately flowed down her face: "I am a bad girl, and I was tempted by others. I said something sorry to Director Wagren. In fact, those are all fake. They are my lawyer. Teached."

Rachel's tears seemed to be unable to hold back and kept rolling down her cheeks: "The lawyer told me that this would give me a lot of money and I could share more than half of it."

Rooney has great skills. When she knows that she has to establish a reliable character, she can only believe what she said: "In recent years, my mother has been sending me to participate in various places in order to help me fulfill my dream of becoming an actor. In order to make my life better, I returned a loan to buy a big house. Although my mother never told me, I knew that my mother owed a lot of money for me.”

She wiped the tears from her face with the back of her hand and tried to control the tears to roll in her eyes: "I don't want my mother to live so hard, I don't want her to bear such great pressure for me, I want to help her pay off her debts."

The female host said, "Although you made a mistake, you realized it in time."

Rachel stood up, bowed deeply to the camera, and cried, "I'm sorry, Director Wagren, I have framed you for my own selfish interests. I dare not pray for your forgiveness, I just want to apologize to you publicly .”

Near the backstage exit, Rooney pushed Mrs. Wood and signaled the stage with her eyes.

Mrs. Wood reacted, rushed to the stage from the backstage, came to the camera, and hugged her daughter.

The mother and daughter hugged their heads and cried in front of the camera.

It's not over yet, and the female host took advantage of the opportunity to interview her mother: "Don't you know about this?"

Mrs. Wood cried and said, "I thought Rachel was really violated and even came to the door to scold Director Wagren... Sorry, Director Wagren."

She wiped the tears from her face: "After the show, I will take Rachel to call the police. LAPD should strictly investigate this lawyer who instigates minors to commit crimes!"

The program ended successfully and the on-site effect was excellent.

Back in the backstage, Mrs. Wood asked Rooney: "Ms. Chason, are we doing well?"

Rooney smiled and nodded, encouraging, "It's a great job." She rubbed Rachel's head, "You're a good girl."

Mrs. Wood asked, “Are we really going to call the police?”

Rooney said extremely seriously: "Why not go?"

Rachel was a little worried.

Mrs. Wood asked, “Your promise.”

"You have signed the contract with Redford on the phone, and you have also registered a case at the Actors Union." What you spent was not Rooney's resources, so she was of course generous and would not violate it. She urged: "We should go to the police station." Called the police."

The group came out of the TV station and got on two cars respectively.

Rooney asked the driver to drive to the nearest police station, took out his cell phone and sent two messages in a row: "Fix it as soon as possible!"

The other two victims, Judy and Amanda's home, and the public relations manager from Quanshi Company, have accompanied them to watch the entire show and do their jobs, which is just a matter of time.

Rooney received a call from Sasha.

The latter said quickly: "Director, I told the black **** that he wanted $50,000, as sincerity, he told me an important news that Hawke Osmon and Brian Ferguson were mobilizing their hands to carefully check Wag The child stars who appeared in Lun and Rayford's past works are going to visit each other."

"Are they finished?" Rooney was a little annoyed, but this news was indeed important. Sasha also proved her ability. Without the key information she collected, today would not be so smooth.

Rooney thought a little and said, "Give him $50,000, and the money will be spent from the customer's account. You tell him that you can provide such heavyweight information later, and the money will not treat him badly."

"Okay." Sasha hung up the phone.

Rooney quickly entered the police station.

…Beverly Avenue, inside the villa.

Hawke took the microphone of the notebook, handed it to Caroline, and said, "Call it a few times."

Caroline took it and opened her mouth consciously and shouted: "What-"

After calling, she asked, "Are you okay?"

Hawke said, “Do it again.”

Caroline had practiced her face, and then opened her mouth and heard from the sheep's cry: "What--"

After recording, Hawke clicked on the playback, and a strange cry of sheep sounded from the laptop speaker.

Hearing this sound, Caroline covered her face.

Hawke connects the storage disk and copies the audio file into it.

Caroline found out and asked quickly, "What are you going to do?"

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

"Take it to the TV station and play it through the TV show." Hawke said casually, "Shock the whole of the United States."

Caroline wanted to come and grab it, but Hawke pushed her shoulder and pushed it back.

She said viciously, "You made me angry, I really can bite people!"

Hawke waited for the audio files to be copied, unplugged the storage disk, stuffed it into his pocket, and said, "Don't worry, it won't be played on the TV station, just pretend to be a little and mobilize the people over there."

He was also a little anxious and quickly calmed down: "If we don't move there, we won't find a good opportunity."

Brian, who went out to answer the phone, came back at this time and felt a little disappointed: "Our opponent is very strong this time."

Hawke could guess: "Both Judy and Amanda are going to quit?"

Brian was also mentally prepared, and the blow was not too big: "Yes, their guardian called me one after another and said sorry to me. He terminated the lawyer's agency contract with me and promised you the public relations fee. I I can only pay out of my own pocket.”

He sighed, "As you said, we are vulnerable on the front battlefield and are completely defeated. It is really hard to save God when he comes."

"It's time for us to attack now," Hawke said.

The public opinion war was defeated, but Hawke was good at more than this.

He called Edward, “Are you back?”

Edward said, “Arrival soon.”

Hawke packed his bag and said to Caroline first, "Start now, don't go out, just be responsible for contact."

He reminded Brian: "Be alert, it is best to drive a bulletproof car when you go in and out, bring your bodyguards, be careful of the mud car, and don't be hit and killed."

Brian knew what Hawke was going to do: "It's not that easy to kill me."

Hawke heard the electronic prompt and looked at the door, and Edward stood outside the door.

He took out his pistol, checked the magazine, reloaded it into the gun bag under his coat, and strode out.

Edward took the Mercedes-Benz keys handed over by Hawke, got into the driver's seat, and waited until Hawke got into the car and drove straight to the Focus TV Center.

The tail behind quietly followed.

Mercedes-Benz entered the underground parking lot of Forks. Before Hawke got off the car, he said to Edward: "Call there in 15 minutes and tell them the news."

Edward took out his cell phone and glanced at the time: "I remember."

Hawke went upstairs and went straight into Meghan's office.

The two of them had called before, and Meghan said when he saw him, "The news you sent these two times was full of meaningless news. It was barely broadcast last time, but this time it was not possible to even broadcast it."

Hawke took out the storage disk and said, "There is only a sheep yelling inside, how to play it?"

Megan said, "Then you can only pay it back tonight." She took the storage disk and asked, "Tell me, what should I do?"

"You held a meeting and announced that this will be the headline of "Ace News" tonight." Hawke roughly said his thoughts: "Because the news is too sensitive and involves the principle of confidentiality, you have to wait an hour before the live broadcast before writing the document. , when the time is almost over, just cancel it."

Meghan took the storage disk, took out the label from the drawer and posted it with the words "First-class secret news".

She solemnly said to Hawk: "The last time, if you do too much like this, it will affect my prestige in the program team."

Hawke nodded and asked, "How can I repay the favor?"

Megan was not polite: "Use your lamp pole to return."

She picked up the storage tray and walked towards the door: "You can rest here first, I'll go for a meeting."

Downstairs, Edward looked out his cell phone, found Sasha's number, and called.

There was a quick connection there: "Is there something wrong?"

"It's very important news," Edward said. "Brian got a video about Waglen from a young actor."

Sasha asked, "What's in the video."

But Edward didn't mention this: "What we said."

"Wait a minute." Sasha hung up the phone, looked at Rooney in the same car, said a few words, and asked, "Director, he wants money."

Rooney whispered, “Video about Wagren?”

It was normal for the other party to ask for money. She didn't believe it, but she didn't believe it: "Tell him, $30,000, what is the video content, and what is Hawke Osmon's plan to deal with it."

Sasha called Edward again: "$30,000, transfer it to your account immediately, tell me what the video content is, and what Hawke plans to deal with it."

Edward waited for the message prompt, took a look, and said, "The video was copied from Wagren's computer by a young actor while Wagren was not paying attention. The content was very exciting. How did he violate Wagren's selfie? As for how to deal with it, I Now at Fox TV Center, Hawke Osmon went to Channel 11 to find Megan from Ace News.

He paused a little and added: "A reminder that if you don't move fast enough, you should be able to see the specific content of the video on the headlines of Ace News tonight."

After saying that, Edward hung up the phone.

In the car on the other side, Rooney cursed, "Fak! These perverts in Hollywood are stupid like pigs!"

She took out her cell phone and called: "It's me, Rooney, help me find out something. Did your channel's "Ace News" receive any big news? Yes, it's very important. Just ask quietly. , don't attract attention."

After a while, the phone called here: "Yes, the news seems to be sent by someone from the West Coast Studio. Megan Taylor just held a meeting and was ready to be the headline of tonight's show, and To keep it confidential, videos will be taken out one hour before the show begins. "

"Thank you." Rooney hung up the phone, no longer had the ease she had before, and told the driver: "Go to the Four Seasons Hotel quickly."

Soon, the car arrived at the Four Seasons Hotel. Rooney and Sasha walked very fast, almost trotting into the lobby, and took the elevator to Vaglen's private room.

When they came out of the elevator, they saw a Mexican man cleaning and stayed away automatically.

Rooney knocked on the door and found Wagren, Redford and Cheryl were all there.

Everyone was holding a glass of champagne in their hands.

Wagren laughed and poured two glasses of champagne, handed them to Rooney and Sasha, and said, "It's so wonderful. You guys have done a great job. We should have a drink for this."

Redford responded: "The director of the full speed PR company is well-deserved, and West Coast Studio is no match for you at all."

Meryl said: "I just got the news that LAPD summoned Brian Ferguson. Although it didn't have much negative impact on him, it could also make him a joke in the industry."

Rooney couldn't refuse the client and patiently drank a glass of champagne with them.

She put down her wine glass and said, "A sudden incident just happened. Brian got a video from a young actor who used to work with you..."

Rooney explained what she learned in detail.

Redford's eyes instantly became like a sharp arrow, landing on Wagren's face, unable to suppress his anger: "You promised me that you have never taken a secret video! Is this what you promised?"

Wagren shook his head: "Impossible, impossible."

Redford understood as soon as he heard it: "You are still lying to me!"

Wagren refused to admit it: "I photographed myself, and it happened a few years ago, and I photographed that time!"

In fact, he took too many secret photos and couldn't remember the specific situation at all.

Why shoot? As a director who is a photographer, his hands are unbearable.

And he thinks this is a guarantee.
