The Wolf of Los Angeles

Chapter 53 Stars and Crime

Fox TV Center, Channel 11 reception room.

Hawke turned the laptop screen, pushed it to Megan Taylor, and said, "My news informant found the girl saved by Dwayne Johnson. The girl wanted to publicly express her gratitude to Johnson and specially recorded this video."

Megan saw a confused face: "No original version?"

Hawke shook his head: "She wants to keep a peaceful life and doesn't want to be disturbed by the media."

Megan hugged her chest with her hands, patted her left arm gently with her right hand, and said with temptation: "The price is different from not showing her face, and it is very different."

Hawke spread his hands: "I can't let your show violate the portrait rights and be sued, right?"

Megan said, "Don't worry, we have the most professional legal consultant."

"I can't do anything, either, the other party really doesn't want to be disturbed." Hawke asked instead: "Can the video make headlines?"

Megan thought for a moment: "The video does not match the themes derived from the show, and I will reserve some time after the headlines."

"I watched your show yesterday," Hawkdo said, "Crime spreads to the wealthy areas in the western suburbs, a great theme, but feels more suitable for social news."

Meghan is full of ambition: "Hollywood stars and criminal groups have higher news value in this regard. You can actually continue to follow Robert Downey Jr.'s news, such as who is the drug dealer he trades with, and whether there is any transaction with other Hollywood stars. , has a huge drug trafficking network been developed? It is said that there are some mysterious organizations in Hollywood..."

Hawke interrupted her: "I just want to make money, not to die."

Megan stared at Hawke for a while and said, "You pay attention to the news in this regard. If you can shoot it, the program team will buy it at a high price."

"It depends on luck." Hawke took the storage disk provided by Channel 11 and turned the video out.

The two then agreed on the price, which was just a derivative news, and the protagonist was confused, only $2,000.

Meghan took the storage disk and was about to leave. Before leaving, he suddenly said, "If you can find Hollywood stars to cooperate and produce this kind of news, just bring it."

Yesterday, the hero saved the beauty, today the rescued person thanked him, or the news video brought by the same person, she naturally had associations.

The other party can see through, and Hawke is not surprised: "As long as you bid appropriately."

Megan said again: "Don't forget my celebrity and crime news."

Hawke suddenly thought of something, and the rumor spread to the end of the Sundance Film Festival, and Verona Reid stole the nuclear key.

He quickly searched with his laptop, and the rumors spread online, and no one took a picture of the evidence.

According to online news, since January, no matter where Verona Reed goes, there are a bunch of paparazzi behind her butt.

The competition is too fierce, and Hawke doesn't plan to join in the fun.

He signed the agreement, received a check of $2,000, and went downstairs and returned to the car.

Dany Garcia called at this time and asked about the situation here, and Hawke quickly said it.

The acknowledgement video broadcast tonight will continue the news and then connect it with Johnson's talk show, so that the topic can continue until the release of "The Scorpion King".

Hawke then went to the accounting firm recommended by Johnson, and the tax season had arrived.

American taxation is complicated and most people can't figure it out at all.

In addition, IRS is well-known and tax arrears are definitely not a good option.

Hawke came out of the accounting firm and received a call from Edward.

The guy shouted: "Boss, I received a call from an informant. Britney quarreled with her father in the street. I'm rushing over!"

Hawke ran toward the car: "Where is it?"

"Beverlywood, West Olympic Avenue," Edward said.

Hawke put down his cell phone and drove towards the other side.

He was a little far apart. When he arrived, there were reporters holding cameras or cameras all over the street, and there were at least thirty people. As for the parties involved, Britney and his daughter, they have already gotten into the nanny car.

There are still a large number of paparazzi blocking outside the car to take pictures.

There is no need to think about it exclusively, Hawke simply didn't get into the crowd, got out of the car and jumped onto the flower bed on the side of the road, looked at the car, there was only a dark head.

A guy holding a camera came over there. He saw Hawk standing on the high place at a glance and walked over and said, "Man, you're late and you can't eat hot."

Hawke lowered his head and found that it was the reporter he met at Robert Downey Jr., and asked tentatively: "Daniel Richard?"

"It's me." Daniel came to Hawke's side and said, "I forgot to ask you for your name last time."

Hawke came down from the flower bed and introduced himself: "Hawke Osmon."

Daniel nodded and said with a smile, "I came here the earliest today, and the things I took can be sold at least $5,000!"

He waved his hand and said, "Man, I won't talk to you anymore, I'm going to make money."

Hawke could hear the show-off, and it might also be a counterattack to the last time.

Edward crawled out of the crowd, glanced around and quickly found Hawke.

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

He was covered in sweat on his black face and said, "It's so scary. They all looked like crazy. They were completely less elegant and comfortable than we did when we filmed. They were completely crazy."

Hawke asked, "What did you take?"

Edward shook his head: "When I came here, the argument between Britney and her father was over. The two of them got in the car one after another. The photos they took were not worth a lot."

Hawke took the camera, flipped it and looked it over, and said, "It's not worth it, go back."

There are too many reporters coming, and such photos cannot be sold.

Edward got into the second-hand business car, followed Hawk, and returned to the studio together.

Hawke took out two bottles of water, threw one to Edward, and asked, "Did the informant call?"

Edward poured half a bottle of water and said, "When the informant found out, there were already reporters taking pictures. In fact, it was too late for me to go there."

The boss is good, so I introduced the divorced rich woman to him. Edward was very considerate of the boss: "I paid for this trip, and I also paid $20 in informant fees, and I didn't make anything."

Hawke was open-minded: "In business, there are always losses and profits."

Edward is like a war today, crowded among a large number of journalists and paparazzi, his head was filled with bubbles, and he had a rare flash of inspiration: "We have photographed the news clues provided by informants many times. No one can really grab the exclusive news, rely on the line It seems unreliable for people to provide news."

Hawke said directly: "The news provided by informants sold for up to $280 at one time, the one you took."

Edward began to calculate in his mind, but after a long time of not being able to figure it out, he simply said, "Relying solely on informants, you can't make a lot of money a month, which is similar to a worker, and it's not as good as a professional divorced woman who takes care of her children."

His eyes were blank: "Although it would be a little tired, at most he would be juiced while lying..."

Hawke said: "Developing news informants from ordinary people is actually just a chance. If you have good luck, you will be able to hit a big news."

"God never favors black people." Edward has made money recently and is confident. He is hard when picking up girls: "Boss, it is not reliable to rely on clues from news informants. We still have to produce news and sell our own products. .”

Hawke fully agreed: "This kind of thing also needs to be an opportunity." He took out an invitation letter: "I can bring someone to the premiere of "The Scorpion King". You can go with you and prepare for a suit."

Edward thought of the awkwardness of wearing formal clothes and shook his head repeatedly: "I won't go, I won't go..."

Hawke easily grasped him: "I'm lucky and can meet a divorced Hollywood female star who takes care of her children."

Edward looked upright: "Boss, I think you are missing someone with your bag."

Hawke said seriously: "You should learn more, at least you can calculate the numbers correctly. The studio will not just stay at the level of producing news."

Edward sat down dejectedly: "You kill me."
