The Wolf of Los Angeles

Chapter 82 Fame and connections

In the corridor on the fifth floor, Hawke sat on the bench, watching Steve hug and his teammates one by one, talking excitedly, picking up the coffee cup and taking a sip.

I slept for a while last night, but the impact was not big.

The black manager of the Dodgers also came, cheering Steve first, and then finding Caroline to discuss.

Edward came back with a cup of coffee and sat next to Hawke.

He had a different brain circuit and said, "Boss, no one pays attention to us, we seem to have been forgotten."

Hawke slowly drank his coffee and whispered, "Savior, do you know how to carry a puppet?"

Edward thought about it for a while, pointed to Steve and said, "They are those puppets, and we are the ones carrying the thread?"

There calmed down slightly, and Steve, Caroline and Byles came to find each other.

"The team wants Steve and Wilson to respond publicly," Byles said.

"Yes." Hawke had already planned with Caroline and communicated with Steve: "In the morning, Steve and Daisy will go to the Agatha Birth Center to express their gratitude there."

He said to Caroline: "Get Amanda ready for a wheelchair and the doctor agreed to Daisy's moderate activity."

Caroline called Daisy over.

Hawke said to Byers again: "There is a hotel near the hospital. I will rent their largest banquet hall and invite all media reporters and fans to come over, and hold a press conference at 3 pm."

Byers replied, "I'll contact you now."

Hawke looked at Steve: "Familiar with Caroline's new copywriting as soon as possible and turn into a fighter to fight."

"I can." Steve returned to the ward with the manuscript.

On the table in the outside room, the newspapers bought by Byers were everywhere.

These newspapers have his images on the front pages.

This is California, and all kinds of headlines are basically praise.

"Steve Nat, the real equal rights fighter in the sports world!"

"In the face of social injustice, Steve Nat made the strongest voice with practical actions."

“Steve Nat showed us the best model for a new family in the future.”

Not to mention the liberal newspapers, even the conservatives did not directly attack him.

Although equal rights have not developed to the stage of being in the future, after entering the new century, few people have publicly expressed their views on racial discrimination. .

Steve's teammates did not leave and unanimously decided to go to the hotel press conference in the afternoon to cheer for Steve.

Hawke found a quiet place and called Agatha: "Dr., we'll arrive on time at 10:30 in the morning."

Agatha responded, "I'm ready." She did not forget to remind: "Media?"

Hawke stood in front of the window and looked at the entrance of the hospital and could see a bunch of long guns and short cannons: "I promise, it's more than thirty."

Agatha smiled, “Transfer greetings to Steve Nat on my behalf.”

Hawke hung up the phone and looked at Edward: "Savior, do you want to make some extra money?"

A few minutes later, Edward borrowed a cleaner's outfit from the hospital, slipped out of the hospital through the side door, and moved to the main entrance.

Before he could find someone, the reporter with the tag "Sports Picture" came to him.

The reporter asked, "Are you a hospital?"

Edward pulled off his clothes: "The sanitation cleaner in the ward building, I just got a big news about Steve Nutt."

The reporter came here just to develop a news informant. When he heard what he said, he immediately asked, "What news."

Edward laughed out two lines of big white teeth.

The reporter said: "$100!"

Edward stretched out five fingers.

The reporter hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, $500."

Edward said, “I want cash.”

The reporter was prepared when he came and took out $500.

Edward whispered: “While I was cleaning, I heard Steve Natter call from PR saying that the couple was going to go to Agatha Birth Center.”

The reporter thought of last night's news that Steve's child was IVF and knew that there would be no mistakes. He left the cash and business card to Edward at the same time.

He called the photographer and the car and rushed to the Agatha Birth Center immediately.

Edward quietly returned to the hospital, came out of another door, walked around to the other side of the main entrance of the hospital, and found a reporter: "I have the latest news about Steve Nat here."

When it was almost half past nine, Edward sold the news five times and had a net income of $2,300.

At ten o'clock, Hawke drove out of the hospital's main entrance in a business car, pulling Steve and Daisy, Caroline and Amanda.

When he went out, Steve lowered the window and responded to the support of the fans as planned.

Then, dozens of media-specific cars followed the business car to the Agatha Birth Center.

When Dr. Agatha saw this, she almost laughed and took several of her confidants out of the door and personally received the Steve Nat and his wife.

There was actually nothing to say on both sides, so Agatha quickly asked someone to come and take a group photo for them. Steve and Daisy stayed for only a dozen minutes before saying goodbye to leave.

As soon as the person left, Agatha thought of Hawke's idea and ordered: "Make a photo into a large photo frame as fast as possible and hang it in the most conspicuous position in the hall."

She also ordered the security guard at the door and the front desk: "If a reporter comes in and takes a secret photo, he pretends not to see it."

Although Steve and Daisy left, a large number of media reporters stayed. Agatha went out and accepted an interview calmly, endorsing Steve and Daisy, while harvesting this wave of traffic.

The name of Agatha's pregnancy center spread throughout the United States in just half a day.

During lunch, Hawke received a call from Agatha.

"I am very satisfied with your arrangements, Mr. Hawke Osmond, if you want to have IVF in the future, you can come to me and the pregnancy center will exempt you from the order."

When Hawke heard this, he could only say, "Thank you."

He put away his cell phone and asked Caroline: "Have the news from the press conference been released?"

Caroline said: "It has been released and more than 60 media will participate."

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

"The impact is getting bigger and bigger," Hawke said.

Caroline has been following the media trends: "The topic is full and it is the hottest news recently."

Hawke asked, “Is it okay to go to Midnight Entertainment?”

"They agreed," Caroline asked. "Why choose this show? Megan Taylor took you to bed?"

Hawke's face didn't change at all: "Because it has the highest ratings in recent entertainment programs."

Nearly three o'clock in the afternoon, Edward drove into the business car and pulled Steve, Wilson and Caroline out of the hospital and came to the main entrance of the hotel.

Near the door, hundreds of fans who supported Steve gathered.

These people wore Dodgers baseball caps, held up Steve's large poster, and shouted the Dodgers' exclusive cheering slogan.

Steve, Wilson and Caroline almost squeezed into the hotel door.

When there were fewer people, Hawke entered the hotel alone. Accompanied by Byles, he came to the back of the banquet hall and found a place to sit down.

In the banquet hall, hundreds of reporters gathered together, including Channel 11 and Channel 9, and several other TV stations, and also set up live broadcast cameras.

"It was a huge crisis." Byles, the agent, was not good at it, but he was deeply impressed: "Now it is not only easy to resolve by you, but it also made Steve's reputation soar."

But Hawke took out his studio business card and handed it to Byers: "If other customers on your side have any needs, you can call me at any time."

Whether it is entertainment stars or sports stars, they are scandal-making machines. Byers took over the business card and solemnly put it away: "If you have the opportunity to cooperate in the future."

There was a lot of cheers at the scene.

But Steve appeared with his teammates.

Facing representatives from numerous media and fans, Steve delivered a speech titled “My Black Son and Me.”

In addition to explaining the origin of IVF, the various unfair treatments experienced by black teammates on and off the field, Steve also shouted:

"Blacks are as important as whites, they are all part of America, blacks are also the future of society, we cannot demonize our own people... Just yesterday I became a father and had a black son, and my brand new family will Thrive, and countless families like me will form a greater country!”

The Dodgers teammates tried hard to applaud Steve.

Fans and media were also applauding wildly, and there were endless cheers.

Even in this era, a large number of white-left Virgins have appeared in California.

Steve was surrounded by applause, everything he did, the new family he advocated seemed to make him a hero.

He was emotionally infected and suddenly felt that this track could make him more famous.

At this moment, Steve decided to transform into an equal rights fighter.

At the last moment of the news conference, Sesco, the black leader of the National Association for Colored People, rushed over and hugged Steve on stage, holding his hands tightly, holding them high.

At this moment, no one cares about how Steve's black kid came about.

The next day, with the approval of the doctor, Wadel, deputy editor-in-chief of People's business, led a professional photography team to St. Joseph's Hospital to take family photos for Steve, Daisy and their black children.

According to normal circumstances, such a young child is not suitable for shooting.

But neither Steve Nutt nor People Magazine wanted to miss the popularity.

This group photo will become the cover of the next issue of "People" weekly.

Waddle privately found Caroline: "This is unusual, and although I don't know what's going on, it's not your full-speed PR company style."

Caroline forced a smile: "Sorry, I have nothing to tell you."

Wadell was not surprised and said, "Let me get to know you."

Caroline took out her cell phone, called Hawke, and led Wadel into the makeshift office.

She introduced the two: “This is Hawke Osmon, the founder of West Coast Media Entertainment Studio; this is Wadell Bell, the business editor for People.”

Hawke shook hands with him and gave him his business card.

Unexpectedly, Wadell said, "I've heard of you, where is it? By the way, Cynthia from Fox 11."

Hawke also got Wadel's business card. Through repeated news operations, he gained more than just money, but also fame and connections.
