Birth of an actor

Chapter 123 "Blood Together"

The U.S. Congress has two houses of the Senate. Congressman Bloom is one of the [-] senators and is the representative of New York State. As the most economically developed state in the United States, the importance of New York State among the fifty states in the United States is self-evident. In other words, Congressman Bloom's power status in Congress is naturally not low, and the reason why Jasper Bloom can be arrogant is naturally his father's power.

Not to mention that Congressman Bloom is still planning to go further in the Senate - the [-] senators in the Senate are divided into several groups, and each group holds a right. Congressman Bloom's goal is to become the The director in charge of foreign affairs and trade, after another term of operation, maybe the next Secretary of State or even the President of the United States will change his surname to Bloom.

But now.The premise that all the ideals of Congressman Bloom about the future can be realized is that the photos in front of him cannot be leaked.

Owning expensive high-end real estate that has not been legally registered, and cheating on prostitutes while married?This is a serious illegal and moral issue, the death knell any politician fears most.

The U.S. Senate re-elects one-third of its members every two years. It is re-elected every six years. This year is the election year. Congressman Bloom’s term of office is coming this year. It is not particularly difficult for him to be re-elected However, if one or two of the photos are leaked to the media... no, even to his competitors, MP Bloom's political career will be devastated within a few months. Is it possible in the future? A comeback is still unknown.

Jasper Bloom's face was pale, and his face took on a gray color.

If he didn't have this card, he could have argued that all of this had nothing to do with him. After all, it was his father, Congressman Bloom, who was photographed and traded with many high-ranking officials, not him, and he could use it or not. In exchange for telling his mother about this, Congressman Bloom can give him a sports car or something.

But the existence of this card directly pronounced the fate of Jasper Bloom in front of his father.

Especially after Mr. Bloom said the following: "This envelope was sent directly to my 'safe house', and I have already had it checked. The sender did not leave a fingerprint, nor There's no way to track where the letter was originally mailed, that's something a professional can do, and my bodyguard said there's no way a normal paparazzi would be able to take these pictures, it would take mercenaries or the FBI."

Safe House originated from the FBI. As the name suggests, it is a safe hiding place. It was originally a house used by the FBI to place undercover or tainted witnesses in a dangerous state. It was mostly hidden in ordinary residential areas, and later became a temporary safe for all secrets. A collective term for the place of residence.

No one knew better than Jasper Bloom how secluded and safe Senator Bloom's safe house was, a place that neither he nor his mother could set foot in or even know exactly where.

After collecting the darkest secrets of Congressman Bloom, and then mailing them to this secret place openly, Jasper Bloom couldn't imagine who has such ability, is it the FBI?Or the CIA?

Rationality knows that neither of these is the case, because if the state machine knew the existence of these things, Congressman Bloom would not be able to sit here in peace, but it is precisely because the identity of the person hiding in the dark is unknown that it is even more frightening .Possessing such an enemy with a mysterious identity but with great powers is something that anyone can imagine would be horrifying.

"I really don't know why the sender left this note." Jasper Bloom quivered with fear, "I swear I really didn't mess with anyone I shouldn't! There's only William Bradley, and he's just a starlet!"

Congressman Bloom ignored his son, but let him continue to soak in fear.

What Jasper Bloom said was basically consistent with the investigation. The day Congressman Bloom received the letter, he sent someone to Harvard to investigate his son’s recent whereabouts. The report he got was that apart from William Bradley Well, a young Hollywood actor who seems to be still popular is quite stiff, and his behavior is really safe.

There is no major problem with the son in the preliminary investigation, and Congressman Bloom suspects that this is a smoke bomb dropped by someone who is neither an enemy nor a friend. Threats to make Senator Bloom do something, only to leave a note that looks more like a warning is not something that Senator Bloom's enemies, or competitors would do - but After investigations and investigations, all the suspects of Congressman Bloom were fine, and he could only clearly realize again that it was really his son Jasper who caused him trouble.

William Bradley, Congressman Bloom of course investigated this man, his father died early, his mother was a poor painter, his grandparents owned a farm in Kansas, his relatives were all middle-class, his family background was nothing special, Hollywood stars often invite Those flamboyant bodyguards in the office didn't even talk about following him and secretly filming him, they couldn't even figure out his trajectory.

A Hollywood actor really has the guts and the ability to threaten a congressman?But when Congressman Bloom carefully read William Bradley's information, everything was explained.

Jasper Bloom is still babbling that William Bradley is just a Hollywood star who entertains the public, and he is not the kind who has been famous for many years and has a wide network and knows many big people. It is impossible to threaten them people.

Congressman Bloom finally stopped suppressing his anger. He walked up to his son and slapped him furiously!

"Stupid guy! Have you noticed that this Hollywood star grew up with Lance Roderick!"

so what!Jasper Bloom hung his head and rubbed his cheeks thinking, Bradley is Bradley, Roderick is Roderick, they are not brothers!When Calgate was at school, if he hadn't been scruples about Lance Roderick, he would have gotten what he wanted!And now that Lance Roderick is studying in London, will his hands be long enough to reach out to the United States to help his friends?Besides, he didn't really want to do anything to William Bradley, he just bullied him to let him know how powerful he was.

"William Bradley's last name is not Roderick!" Jasper Bloom was still insisting on his opinion.In other words, he was afraid that the truth was what he was most worried about, so he kept hypnotizing himself and only believed in this possibility.

Congressman Bloom gave his son a gloomy look: "William Bradley is the only friend Roderick has had since he was a child! He is even willing to go on a talk show for him! If you are not so stupid, you should Already figured this out!"

"But Lance Roderick can't be omnipotent, how old is he..."

"It's big enough to earn a multi-billion dollar fortune for myself." Councilor Bloom was overwhelmed with anger, and deep exhaustion welled up: "My bodyguard is hired by MPRI, and he said it was The professional handwriting must be right. Roderick has been a shareholder of Deyang International since the 60s. Taylor Roderick transferred the shares of Deyang to her after he married his wife, and now these shares must be owned by Lance Roderick inherited, so don't think I'm scaremongering you idiot."

MPRI is a private military company founded by American General Lewis in 1987. It has a very close relationship with the US government, especially the military. The first choice for many retired generals and retired soldiers to re-employ is MPRI. Its mercenary and security business is very developed, but it is very Few people know that MPRI was founded because Deyang International has a serious monopoly on US military business contracting, and the US government made a decision to balance the domestic private military industry.

Deyang International was established just after World War II. It was and has always been one of the largest private military contractors in the United States. Its business is so diverse that it has penetrated into almost all aspects of the US military. Perhaps Deyang International has a long history and has penetrated too much into the military. Yes, the U.S. government has only started to support other private military security companies to compete with Deyang International in the last ten years, but the history of MPRI is too short after all, and the foundation that Deyang International has laid in the US military for decades is too solid. There is no way to overwhelm Deyang International. Not to mention, even the US military is now arguing over who will be the main supporter. No one can predict whether the future winner will be MPRI or Deyang.

Congressman Bloom has every reason to speculate that these photos were taken by Deyang International mercenaries: not the police, not the FBI, and not the CIA. The United States has more contacts and capabilities than MPRI bodyguards. They have the motivation to take these photos and do not use them as threats. How many other PMCs did he propose in Congress and just overqualified to warn his stupid son?He couldn't think of anything other than Deyang International.

Jasper Bloom had a flash of inspiration: "Taylor Roderick must not want to see his son threatening members of Congress, after all, father, you may be the President of the United States in the future—"

Councilor Bloom mercilessly slapped Jasper Bloom again: "Do you think Tyler Roderick would like to see you sue him as the sole heir?"

Why did Tyler Roderick have such a powerful son and his own was so stupid?Senator Bloom didn't want to explain anything to his son anymore - especially that they had no other choice but to submit to Lance Roderick's threats.

Congressman Bloom was supported by Taylor Roderick. To put it bluntly, he is a dog raised by Taylor Roderick in Congress. Of course Taylor Roderick would not want to see his heir Destroy Congressman Bloom's career, but if this matter is spread out and told to Tyler Roderick, let the other party know that Congressman Bloom has so many taints, presumably Taylor Roderick will give up funding earlier He turns to support other people, and his dreams of going further are about to be completely shattered.

"Either transfer to Columbia University, or resign as the president of the Phoenix Club, and resolve the conflict with William Bradley, and you can stay at Harvard." Representative Bloom issued an ultimatum: "Only these two option."

"I..." Jasper Bloom covered his cheeks in silence for a long time, and then said with great dejection, "I will resign after returning to school."

……

"It's so weird, everything is going so smoothly."

"Really?" Lance asked calmly on the other end of the phone.

"Overnight, Jasper Bloom announced that he was quitting as the president of the Phoenix Club, and offered to apologize that he was a fool to stir up conflicts with his alumni as a member of the Ultimate Club. Decided, the whole of Harvard was dumbfounded by his inconsistency. It must be that Congressman Bloom warned his son after seeing the photo, but it was only a day after the mail was sent! It went smoothly. It's weird." William said, his tone was a little surprised: "Are all members of Congress so threatening? It's even smoother and more dramatic than making a movie. I also contacted a "Washington Times" reporter. Reporter, you are ready for a media war at any time, but I didn't expect this trick to be useless, now, I have to provide some other news to appease that reporter."

Because of certain considerations about the future, William decided to form a good and mutually beneficial relationship with the reporter of the "Washington Times". Although he is not going to hand over the evidence of Congressman Bloom's bribery and prostitution to the other party for the time being, William has secretly revealed A bit more exciting news - about the incumbent President Clinton and a woman named Monica Lewinsky lace anecdote.Anyway, it is a news event that will be exposed sooner or later within this year.

"Member Bloom is a smart man. Eliminating all budding threats in the shortest possible time is a must for all politicians."

William felt that his friend's tone was too calm, to the point of being weird: "Lance?"

"I'm here, Will."

William asked almost firmly: "Aside from finding a private detective who looks like James Bond and is beyond my imagination, did you do anything else?"

"No, Will, you think too much." Lance didn't do much, but the few people he sent to help William, what they could do, what they put in front of Congressman Bloom, In fact, everything has been announced.

"Really." William sighed exaggeratedly: "I originally thought that if you admit it, I will take you to taste the best Boston pie in the United States. You don't want this opportunity."

"..." Lance expressed his dissatisfaction with silence.

William first compromised: "Okay, Lance, I can imagine how upset you are on the other end of the phone. As my best friend, it is impossible for you to be without pie, okay?"

"I'll fly back next week." In his mind that was spinning rapidly, Lance was rescheduling all his itinerary within half a month: "You are currently filming "Blood Together" in Maine. ?"

"Blood Together" is the final name of the first film produced by Willlott Films—yes, it is the vampire movie with a revised script—it is said to be final, but there are actually uncertainties, because etc. After the filming is completed and preliminary editing is completed, if the finished film is of good quality and has the potential to develop into a series of films, William will position "Blood Together" as the name of the series, and the first part of the series will be suffixed with "The Long Night" Pro".

"Blood Together: The Long Night Is Coming" sounds a bit long, but for those who don't want to play abstruse, but want to make the film into a popcorn movie with a little sentimentality, it will create a big box office for Willot as soon as possible. For William, who sells the series, a longer title is also more straightforward, which helps to arouse the audience's curiosity and understand the content of the movie, such as "Star Wars Prequel: The Phantom Menace", which is currently much-anticipated and seems to be starting to be filmed , and future The Lord of the Rings: Return of the Ring, Batman Begins, Batman: The Dark Knight, Batman: The Dark Knight Rises, Superman: Man of Steel, Captain America: The Avenger Isn't "Pioneer" a model that the title is getting longer and the box office is getting higher and higher.

"That's right. But Lance, you have to make sure you don't laugh too much when you see me, otherwise I won't tell you the specific shooting location."

"Is your vampire image badly designed? I can't wait to see it."

"It's so smart, Lance, you guessed it right, the costume design was designed to make the character's shape very...disgusting. It's not like the overly greasy back hair in the "Count Dracula" in the 30s , It's so weird that it's a bit scary, it's as gorgeous and exaggerated as Lester in "Interview with the Vampire", my God, what I want to play is a modern vampire image, and it's young and youthful, I don't need hundreds of years ago Is the shape okay?" William sighed heavily: "In short, after changing the three designers and modifying the design drawings many times, it is finally much better now, but now I have so much powder puff every day that I seem to wear Put on a mask, it's so white and scary."

"What should I do?" Lance said in a distressed tone, but the words he spit out were extremely harsh: "I seem to be even more impatient."

"Come here in your best suit, I must paint you white—" William threatened to let go, and saw Danny Byrne poking his head in from the door of the dressing room, urging him to hurry up, so William said: "I'll call you later to tell you the address, and now I'm going to take a makeup photo."

"Goodbye, Will."

After hanging up the phone, William remembered that he forgot to tell Lance about receiving the invitation from the Persian Club, but he is not at Harvard now, so there is no rush to decide on this matter, and it will be decided after a few days of careful consideration. Same.

"Ready?" William asked the makeup artist.

"It'll be ready soon." The makeup artist waved his hands quickly, wiped something on William's face, and then wiped some movements on his lips. Finally, he sprayed a few sprays of setting spray and combed his hair. After that, immediately say: "It's done!"

William was in a hurry to go out to take makeup photos, because if the photoshoot time was short and well planned, they would even have time to shoot the first scene, so William didn't even look in the mirror, and when the makeup artist said it was finished, he stood up and walked towards go outside.

Standing at the door of the dressing room, Danny Bourne opened his eyes wide when he saw William walking out quickly.

'Jesus Christ Mary. ’ Danny Byrne thought to himself: ‘Hope the crowd out there can hold on when they see Will. '
