The Wolf of Los Angeles

Chapter 105 Too Crazy

At West Coast Studio, Hawke put on a high-end suit, and Edward also wore his handmade suit.

Hawke wore a Rolex gold watch and Edward buckled the Jaeger-LeCoultre's strap.

The two went out and Hawk walked towards Mondeo.

But Edward said, "Boss, drive my Cadillac."

Thinking of the money paid by good guy Robert Downey Jr., Hawke was not polite and got into Cadillac's co-pilot.

Edward launched his chariot and headed straight for Malibu.

On the way, Hawke took out his laptop, turned on the wireless network card, and searched for Alison's news online.

The pictures and news were reprinted by some bloggers and websites, and the popularity and traffic were not very high.

Unlike Hawke's eldest cousin in his previous life, when the Hollywood **** photo ball broke out, the eldest cousin was already the Oscar winner and the first-line Hollywood lineup.

As for Alison, strictly speaking, his status is gone.

The news on the online media is very intuitive, and the public and public opinion’s impression of her is still on the disappearing girl star.

If such a scandal is not handled properly, Alison can only rely on the San Fernando Valley if he wants to become famous.

Hawke remembered the things he saw on the yacht again. Even if he could settle this time, similar situations would definitely happen later.

It’s not that Alison has a belt that is too loose, but that he doesn’t have a belt at all.

Such people are not uncommon among celebrities, the most typical one is Grace Kelly.

According to rumors in the Hollywood industry, Grace Kelly joined a crew, claiming to be able to sleep all the men on the crew.

Not only the director and producer, but even the drama business is not spared.

The problem is that Grace Kelly is very popular and can do whatever you want without purpose.

Alison has long been confused, his dream has become popular, and he has eaten without any intention.

Isn't this a start in hell?

Hawke turned off his laptop and thought about countermeasures.

The crisis of **** is also his chance to speak loudly.

Cadillac entered Malibu and turned into the coastal villa area. Edward quickly found the villa surrounded by high walls and parked his car in front of the door.

Hawke called Joanna and observed the surrounding situation, but found no such existence as journalists and paparazzi.

The electric door opened and Edward drove in.

On the turquoise lawn in the vestibule, Alison and the dancers were still practicing dancing, obviously not knowing what was going on.

The car parked in front of the steps and Hawke met Joanna and three others.

As soon as he got off the car, Joanna introduced both parties.

The man is Scudt Braun, Alison's agent.

The woman is Ferge Enko, the head of Alison's record promotion.

There is also a middle-aged man in his fifties, Roger West, the owner of Western Voice Records.

Hawke shook hands with them one by one, went up the steps together, and entered the villa.

Joanna highlighted: “Hawke is a crisis handling expert, and without him there would be no Steve Nut today.”

Roger was moved, or confirmed: "Steve, the leader of the Dodgers?"

"I can't tell you what happened because of confidentiality contracts, but I can guarantee that every word Joe said is true."

Scutter interrupted, "I am from the same agency as Byers. I heard him talk about you, it's amazing."

Roger has invested a lot of resources in Alison and does not want to give up easily. He asked, "Do you have a way to save this scandal?"

"When I came, I read the news on the Internet, and it was impossible to recover it." Hawke said the truth: "We alone cannot fight against Internet public opinion."

He said directly: "Internet public opinion can only be guided or diverted, not confronted."

Feige asked, "Why can't you refute?"

Hawke glanced at her and replied casually, "There may be millions of people who see this news, and everyone has their own opinions. Just by those of us, do you really want to discuss right or wrong with them?"

If you really want to fight, millions of pirates can jump out of the Internet and hold a microscope to find fault with you.

Even if God comes in person, he can't stand such a provocation.

Joanna was most anxious and said, "Do we want to make a statement saying that these are all fake?"

"Calm down." Hawke gestured to Edward with his eyes.

Edward quickly brought her a bottle of water.

Only then did Joanna realize that the other party was Hei Xiaoshuai whom she met at the premiere of "The Scorpion King". She took the water and took a sip, and she didn't forget to smile at Edward.

Looking at her expression, Hawke had a headache, but the business was done as usual: "Once this huge scandal is exposed, don't rush to deny it, let alone say that it is a rumor, it will only have a counterproductive effect. What we need now is Calm down and find a solution to the problem, instead of facing the media and the public directly without being prepared.”

As soon as these words were spoken, not only Scudt, who had heard of Hawk, but even Roger felt it made sense and had some confidence in Hawk.

Hawke learned a trick from Miss Me and said, "Everyone, let's be silent for three minutes, calm down and calm down."

Everyone else is easy to say, Joanna has a hard time calming down.

Hawke had a trick, and quietly stretched out his finger at Edward and pointed at Joanna.

Edward leaned over and whispered, "Joe, don't worry, there is no problem that my boss can't solve."

Joanna nodded slightly, but the loan came to her mind. If Alison was completely confused about it, not only would the loan not be settled, but even Western Voice Company might sue for breach of contract.

She just used Alison's record contract and borrowed another money.

It's too hard to accept that Jamie Spears is going to fall before dawn.

Three minutes have arrived, Hawke patted his palm and asked Joanna: "Do you know the source of the photo? Who is the man?"

Joanna said: "It may be two boys two days ago, but it may be earlier people looking at the background. Alison played too crazy. I'm not sure if there are any such people and things, and how many more are there. .”

"What? And?" Roger was almost mad at the **** of anger: "I praise Alison as a pop star, not the Bichin in the Holy Valley!"

Joanna lowered her head and said, "Sorry, I didn't discipline her well."

Roger was still about to lose his temper and was interrupted by Hawk: "We have to solve the problem now, not create new problems."

Scudt advised Roger: "Let me find a solution first."

Roger sat on the single sofa, took out his cell phone, and quietly sent a text message to his assistant: Make an appointment for a physical examination as soon as possible.

There was no way, he had slept with Alison.

No, to be precise, he was also slept by Alison.

Roger was worried about such promiscuity.

Hawke already had an idea, but he had to figure out something first because the method was too crazy.

He asked Roger first: "Alison's new style is in the electronic music and **** routes. Just like when I came in, I saw the dance they rehearsed, there are many large-scale contents?"

"Yes, we've done the assessment, and Alison's appearance and figure are also a big advantage for her."

Hawke continued to ask, "If a singer has a huge topic and becomes a representative figure in a certain aspect, can the popularity of the character be transformed into the popularity of the song?"

If it were placed in more than ten years, he would not ask this question at all, and the answer would be obvious.

Roger thought about this question for a while before answering: "It depends on how popular the topic can be. It may not work in the 1970s and 1980s, but in the past ten years, especially in the past five or six years, people's popular songs are generally albums A singer with good sales has released some."

"The fan economy and fan culture in the pop music circle are more serious than the movie circle, right?" Hawke explained a little about the meaning of fan circle culture.

All of us here are industry insiders, and we can understand it at first. "Indeed, the pop music circle is much larger than the movie circle in terms of fan loyalty and opposition," Scutter said.

"Okay, I understand." Hawke said: "Let's unify our thinking and goals first. Alison becomes popular. The more popular the better, the better it is. It's best to become a hot topic, so as to drive album sales."

Feige responded, "This is the purpose of publicity."

Others agreed.

Hawke's eyes turned to Joanna: "Joe, I need to confirm one thing. This crisis is resolved, can you restrain Alison and no longer have similar situations."

Joanna wanted to say yes, but she opened her mouth and said, "It's hard. I've argued with her more than once for the sake of being in trouble. Alison said that she only had two things to do in this world. Things are interesting—singing and fak…”

The boss Roger almost slapped the table on the spot.

Hawke said: "Normal PR cannot solve this incident. We act rashly, and even let Alison be completely abandoned by public opinion and the public. In addition, according to Joe, Alison is like a time bomb in this regard, at any time." A second one will be thrown out.”

His eyes swept across everyone's faces: "So, the method I want to use is to deepen the scandal, explode like a nuclear bomb, and the scandal becomes a topic."

Scutter thought of someone: "Like Madonna? I'm dating Rodman publicly, teasing Jordan, and deliberately revealing a series of fishy smells in my autobiography, attracting media and public attention, bringing greater heat, and becoming a discussion across the United States. Topic center.”

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

Hawke shook his head slowly: "Alison is not Madonna. Without Madonna's capital, the method I use is more radical than Madonna. Even if similar incidents occur in the future, it will not become a scandal, but can be interpreted as a woman's Free weather vane triggers social topics.”

Without sunk costs, Roger had long abandoned Alison, but the sunk costs had already been generated and he asked, "What do you want to do."

Hawke said calmly: "Let's talk about the commission first, $800,000. This may cause some legal questions and require a legal consultant. I have a suitable candidate. You can discuss his reward with him. In addition, you are responsible for all expenses incurred during the period."

This offer silenced everyone present.

Even Joanna was hesitating, and she looked at Roger.

Roger did not say anything.

Joanna has invested too much in her daughter. Only when her daughter succeeds can she repay the loan she borrows and become Jamie Spears whom she has always envied.

Now, what else can I do?

She looked up and looked at Roger: "I personally bear $400,000!"

Roger didn't expect that she was so determined, weighing the pros and cons, and said, "The record company can take on the rest."

Hawke said, "I'll call the legal consultant and wait for him to come and we'll sign the contract."

Roger thought for a while and said, "The plan needs to be satisfied with us."

Hawke got up, came to the no-one and called Brian Ferguson.

After the other side was connected, a surprised voice came: "You actually called me, don't you want to invite me to have a drink, right?"

"Aren't you a lawyer? I have a business here." Hawke heard him say last time: "Hollywood scandals and bad things, are you interested?"

There was a loud sound of shooting something, and there was another scream. Then Brian said, "I like scandals and bad things the most. Where is it? I'll go now."

"Malibu, beach villa area." Hawke said the address.

Without even twenty minutes, Brian rushed over.

This guy was in a suit and tie. After Hawke introduced him, he showed Roger and Joanna the lawyer's certificate and the law firm's work certificate, and quickly negotiated the fee with them.

Then, Hawke signed an agreement with Joanna and Roger respectively.

The expenses are shared by both of them.

Hawke came to the center of the living room and said, "What I said next must be strictly confidential. Brian, you are ready for a confidentiality agreement and everyone here needs to sign it."

Brian already knew what was going on and wanted to see how Hawke solved this bad thing, and answered, "I'm ready now."

After everyone signed a confidentiality agreement, Hawke said, "This PR, I call it the San Fernando Valley Project."

Everyone else was quite surprised when this name came out.

Hawke said directly, regardless of their surprise, "We don't know who the male protagonist in those photos are, and we don't need to know. We created a male protagonist for this incident, using this photo as a background extension, and taking A video recording.”

"Wait." Roger contacted him and had a not-so-exquisite association: "Do you mean shooting videos like Holy Valley?"

Hawke nodded slightly: "To be precise, it was a selfie video. The video was taken by Alison and the male protagonist we found, and then accidentally leaked out and was bought by a Saint Valley company. After they got the copyright, they would inevitably promote the distribution. .”

Brian had never seen such public relations before, and thought to himself that this guy was crazy.

Hawke's remarks continue: "We promote a movie to promote the release of this video. No star or even outdated star in the past. There has been a large-scale fermentation of similar events. We will be pioneering. The first person, when the media and the public mentioned secretly filming videos, the first person he thought of was Alison. "

Joanna opened her mouth several times in a row before opening her mouth: "But this is a scandal, a scandal."

Hawke said: "Just like Madonna did, scandals can attract fans, and this is not the video we released, it was revealed inadvertently. It should be shamed that it is not us, not Alison. But everyone who watches the video.”

He spread his hands: "Alison just did what couples do often. Is she wrong? Those who see the videos owe Alison money to an album!"

Roger gradually tasted it: "This is used to create explosive news and promote Alison... But there is a problem, Alison is less well-known."

"A long video is far more powerful than a few photos." Hawke has seen success stories, more than once or twice: "The appearance of such videos will evoke people's memories of Alison, those who don't know what they are like. Those who know Alison will also search for who Alison is.”

He looked at Ferge: "So, your job will show Alison's child star past on the Internet through blogs or other forms, so that netizens can easily find it."

Fei Ji remembered it.

Hawke paused a little, and when everyone thought about it, he said, "There is another key to this matter, the male protagonist! This male protagonist cannot be an ordinary person, the general public who does not know anyone, and cannot arouse the audience's further pursuit of knowledge. Desire, you can't make the video really explode."

Brian understood and interrupted, "Look for a male star?"

Scutter said: "Normally, male stars wouldn't do this..."

After all, it is not more than ten years later. It is not unusual for deliberately exposing birds on social media to attract attention and create topics.

"It just so happens that I know a male star who might do this. He can be considered a second-tier, but in this kind of video, the attractiveness and topicality are completely higher than the first-tier one." Hawke said: "Alison is not as famous as him." , but the figure is outstanding and naturally attractive. This person has a good figure and looks, and is blessed with fame. As soon as the video of such a handsome man and beautiful woman appears..."

He made an exaggerated gesture: "It will explode like a nuclear bomb, and the shock wave will sweep across the United States."

Joanna asked, "So, Alison in the future..."

Hawke said: "Alison will face it strongly, fight to the end, be at the forefront of female freedom, become the iconic flag bearer, and become synonymous with certain events that the public relishes, even if she will happen to similar events in the future. Events, there are women who enjoy freedom as a banner.”

Roger, a pure businessman, thought of more. If this effect can be achieved, it doesn’t matter whether Alison sells an album or something else, and even if his privacy is revealed, he can sell it for a lot of money.

He took the initiative to persuade: "Joe, I think this is a good idea. The record company will take another $500,000 in addition to paying Hawke's compensation as operating expenses."

Joanna saw the wonderful money and said, "I need to discuss it with Alison."

Hawke didn't speak anymore, and the choice was in their hands.

Even ten minutes were useless, Joanna brought Alison in and nodded to everyone.

Alison was even more direct: "I'm fine, this is very interesting, I'll cooperate with you."

She saw Hawk who was seducing on the yacht but failed and asked directly: "Can you be the hero?"

"The male protagonist has someone else." Hawke asked Joanna to take Alison out and start to arrange the work here. What I just mentioned is the operational idea. In terms of execution, there is still a lot of work to be done.

The most important thing in the early preparation is to shoot a selfie video.

This requires a male lead.

Hawke already has a candidate.

Nearly an hour later, he called Edward and prepared to go out.

Brian followed up and said, "Man, you are so extraordinary. I have never seen anyone who helps people clean up like this. I have never seen such a serious mess. It's amazing!"

Hawke deliberately joked: "Do you want to be the hero? The heroine must agree."

Brian shook his head quickly: "I'm not interested in this."

Hawke came here and called Josh Hartnett: "Where are you? I have a good idea about PR."
