The Wolf of Los Angeles

Chapter 106 What is this operation

Sherman Oaks, in the villa of Josh Harnett.

Hawke said it briefly and sat on the sofa and waited patiently.

Josh Hartnett lowered his head and said nothing.

The shock on agent Will's face has not yet disappeared.

Public relations manager Julius stared at Hawke blankly, his head exploded into a ball of mud. Can crisis public relations be carried out by allowing the parties to create a bigger scandal?

Will finally came to his senses and asked, "Is this really possible?"

Hawke once again emphasized several key points: "Alison is a black woman. Didn't you formulate a plan to let Josh lick the black woman? Now is an opportunity."

Josh wanted to speak, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Hawke said: "Since you have to lick it, of course you can't do it silently, but you have to let everyone in the United States see it. Once the relevant videos are exposed, the focus of the public and media discussion will only be on the videos, the previous ones are suspected of racial discrimination. All topics will become past."

Josh finally said, "But this is a scandal."

"How much is such a scandal more than racism?" Hawke carefully read the information given to him by Will: "What kind of popularity can this video cause? Josh can return to the public's perspective and the public and become a popular figure this year , together with Alison, became synonymous with celebrity videotapes. "

He looked at Will, "If Josh was so hot that he was explosive, could you help him find a new job?"

At this time, Will was excited: "Popularity is the lifeline of celebrities. If there is such popularity, I dare not say that those medium and large production companies can tailor a movie for Josh!"

Julius has been thinking: "Video leakage is really nothing compared to racism. Celebrity's privacy has always been a hot topic. This kind of private video can arouse the desire to peek across the United States."

She was a little cautious: "What I worry about is that if there is a deviation, Josh's situation will be worse."

Hawke said directly: "Will it be worse than now?"

Will and Julius stopped talking.

Rather than waiting for chronic death, it’s better to fight. Josh raised his head and said in an extremely firm tone: “I did it!”

As a celebrity, I can’t count how many men and women have eaten all the way up. Now I just make the process of eating public.

Will and Julius did not refute.

"Let me first talk about the West Coast Entertainment Studio's charging standard, $800,000." Hawke focuses on equality between men and women: "In addition, the fees incurred in this process are equal to Alison Fiss, and it involves the parties. The independent publicity part is your own responsibility.”

The three of them went to another room, discussed for a while, and agreed to Hawke's conditions.

Josh didn't have that much cash in his hands, but he still had an apartment in Manhattan, New York and decided to make a mortgage.

Hawke looked at Brian: "Prepare the contract, and there is a confidentiality agreement."

Brian was ready when he came.

After signing the agreement between the two sides, Hawke said, "Let's go to Malibu."

Josh and Will drove two cars and headed straight for the villa in Malibu.

Like when he came, Brian sat on Edward’s Cadillac and asked Hawk, “Man, can he really generate the kind of explosive heat you said?”

Hawke said: "If the video is leaked directly to the Internet, it will definitely not work. If it becomes popular, it will continue in a few days. There are too many Hollywood stars and the ability to mess things up is too strong, and there are always people who can grab the headlines."

But Brian thought of his cousin: "The news about Erica and Johnson has remained high as LAPD attacked the Mule Gang, and it has also been related to you?"

"I just started and pushed it again." Hawk pulled the scenes and moved forward according to the usual way: "LAPD and Fox TV jointly have a strong publicity force."

"I still need to operate this matter in the middle?" What Brian saw was not only crisis public relations, but also trouble.

Although I don’t do my job properly, there are no fools who can become lawyers.

Today's things can be used to make people happen.

Make your opponent die.

Hawke smiled: "Without the middle operation, this matter will only become a real scandal."

Brian became more and more curious: "Can I watch the whole time?"

"Yes." Hawke said deliberately: "Let's calculate the tuition fee..."

Brian took out his most inconspicuous cost: "I provide you with legal services and I won't charge you for small matters."

Hawke called him over and had a purpose: "I won't be polite about this matter."

"Within the scope of your ability." Brian said without hesitation.

When he arrived at the beach villa in Malibu, Hawke introduced Alison and Josh. The interests of both sides were consistent, and it took less time to reach a tacit understanding.

Will and Scudt came together.

The latter asked, “When can it be officially promoted?”

Hawke considers the reality: “Let Alison and Josh get familiar with each other first.”

Joanna quickly walked over and answered, "No, I feel they are already familiar with each other."

Following the direction she came, Hawke turned his head and looked, Alison was sitting on the same single sofa chatting with Josh's arm.

Will coughed, "Josh is very satisfied with his partner."

Hawke asked, "Joe, where is the background of the photo taken?"

"My house." Joanna is sure: "Alison's bedroom."

Hawke nodded slightly: "Very good, go to your house to shoot."

When things got to this point, Joanna could only cooperate: "Today?"

"Yes, just today, the pictures on the Internet have already warmed up for us." Hawke called Roger: "Speed ​​up the recording and MV shooting of the first single, and released it when the popularity is at its highest level."

He added: "I still have some ideas about singles and MVs to cooperate with this incident. We will talk about it in detail later."

Roger replied: "The single has been recorded long ago, and the MV shooting can start at any time."

Hawke greeted people: "Now, guys, let's go to Beverly Hills, get your belongings ready and set off right away."

He asked Edward behind him, "Did you bring the camera?"

Edward said, “It’s in the car.”

The group walked out.

Brian came over again: "Shouldn't you design the plot to motivate the actors' emotions and find a professional director or photographer?"

Hawke understood what this guy wanted to do as soon as he heard it: "Do you want to work part-time?"

Brian smiled and said, "I'm very good at shooting these things, and I've photographed a lot, but the heroes are all myself."

"This kind of practical opportunity is rare." Hawke rubbed his fingers: "You can only take a picture after paying money."

Brian stopped talking.

After getting on Cadillac, when the car drove out of the villa gate, Hawke reminded: "Man, listen to me, if you really want to develop into politics and still shoot this kind of video, don't fall into the hands of others, you The best is destroyed. ”

"I'll save it in my computer and lock it in the vault," Brian said.

Hawke understood, this **** is experienced.

So, the group came to Joanna's house and went to the second floor to see the venue, he did not hesitate to use free labor.

In the corridor on the second floor, Hawke took the camera handed over by Edward and handed it directly to Brian: "I have no experience, you have rich experience, please guide them."

Brian asked first: "No charge?"

Everyone around me was shocked by the question of this silly lawyer. Please give me some guidance and you will give me the money?

What is the operation?

"This time is free." Hawke waved his hand and pointed to the two people at the door: "Hurry up, Alison and Josh are still waiting."

Brian took the camera over, thought about his status when he was shooting the video, and said, "Don't be nervous, do whatever you usually do, do it today, and play it freely, but remember one thing, you have seen all the photos, and focus on taking them. Soy milk and soy milk airport view.”

Josh seemed to face the director: "I discussed it with Alison and knew what to do."

Brian nodded: "Now I'm talking about the shooting process. First of all, we have to do one thing. This is a love that is all in Yijing. Do you understand?"

The two men responded one after another.

Director Brian and photography director possessed: "The shooting mainly uses three modes: fixed camera, man's handheld camera and woman's handheld camera. You can cross it, not to be limited to one camera."

On the other side, everyone listened to Brian's talk about the precautions to the male and female protagonists.

Will whispered Hawke: "This director…no, attorney, is he legal for the company in Saint Valley?"

Hawke comforted, "Don't worry, he's very reliable."

Scudt looked at Hawk, with a calm face, and then looked at Brian, browsing.

The latter doesn't look reliable.

The shooting requires realization, no lights are required, and no professional recording is required.

Brian gave some guidance and the shooting began. Everyone, including Hawke and Edward, gathered to the door to watch the filming.

After all, chances are rare.

Brian, the interim director, was unhappy: "You will affect their performance like this. Let's go away and go away."

Everyone had to go to the second floor hall and looked at the bedroom door from afar.

Not long after, Brian called to stop shooting and said, "Alison, don't look at the camera frequently, you've looked at the camera too many times."

He knocked on the door: "Start again!"

The door started shooting again, but within a few minutes, Brian called to stop again, and the old question was still: "Hold on, don't look at the camera frequently!"

Similar problems continue to occur, and Alison frequently causes the shooting to resume.

Hawke calmed down and waited patiently.

Joanna couldn't sit still, stood up and took off her coat, threw it on the chair, and said, "Let me go!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the seat was shocked.

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

Joanna said, "I am almost the same size as Alison. My hair is hanging down and my face is not visible. Let me go up and take a picture of it in one go."

Hawke pointed to the sofa chair and said, "Don't worry."

Scutter advised, "Joe, calm down and give them more time."

"How can I calm down?" Heavy pressure was pressing on my body. Joanna, who had been patient today, finally broke out: "I have to pay the mortgage, pay the commercial loan, and maintain a glamorous life. If I can't make money, I can't make money. It's going to go bankrupt! ”

She shouted, "Those **** in the bank will come to take everything from me. The auction is not enough to pay off their loans, and I still have to owe a lot of debts!"

These voices came to the bedroom, and Alison suddenly rushed over from the door and hugged Joanna hard: "I'm sorry, mom, I will do it hard and I will never let you down."

Joanna nodded vigorously.

This scene of deep love between mother and daughter is particularly touching.

But the next moment, Alison's words destroyed the atmosphere: "Mom, when I succeed, can you hire a group of male models to have a party? Let's have a party together!"

Joanna said, "When you succeed, I will hire 10, no... hire 30, come and have a party together and stay up all night!"

Alison went back and the shooting began again.

This time, Brian did not call for a stop, and the love that went to the end was very successful.

Everyone gathered in the living room of Joanna's house regardless of the handsome men and beautiful women upstairs.

The video was transferred from the camera to a laptop that Allison used every day.

After everyone saw it, Brian said, "How is it? Is it good? I'm a professional."

Scutter asked, "What's next?"

Hawke said, "Let's find a company in Saint Valley to cooperate." He looked at Brian, "Are there anyone who is familiar with me who can help introduce a company?"

Brian was quite helpless, but if he wanted to see the subsequent development, he would take out his cell phone and search for the address book.

Hawke stood up and said, "Everyone, remember when implementing the plan. For celebrities, the most terrible thing is not scandal, but no one pays attention to it!"

...

As night fell, street lights illuminated the Hollywood Highway, and a Cadillac passed through Burbank and headed straight for the San Fernando Valley to the north.

Brian looked at the backward light pole outside the window and asked, "You were plotting against me when you called me to come."

He then shook his head, "No, when you asked my family what they were doing at the police station, did you consider the situation today?"

Hawke said frankly: "I don't believe that with your intelligence and wisdom, you can't see through these tricks, but you still come, which means you are particularly interested in these bad things."

Brian didn't know what to say. Could he admit that he wasn't smart enough?

The other party just called and said there were Hollywood scandals and bad things to watch, so he ran over.

Hawke returns to the topic: "Introduce the private video company you mentioned."

Since Brian helped make a call, he simply said: "Private video company, affiliated to Private Media Group, is mainly engaged in Saint Valley business. It is one of the largest Saint Valley companies in the world. It has more than 30 subsidiaries and is in the world. It has more than 50,000 employees in various places, with total assets exceeding any of the six Hollywood companies, and has been ranked first in the world's top 500 for many years."

He knows a lot: "The group's number one major shareholder is General Electric, and there are many famous companies and investors among the small shareholders, and my family has some investment in it."

Hawke knew the company, and the opening credits were similar to the goddess of Sony Columbia.

The future environment of the Saint Valley industry will become more and more relaxed, and it is strange that there is no shadow of a large group behind it. He asked, "The person you have found has the right to speak?"

Brian simply said: "Private videos are mainly responsible for North American business, and Just Blatt is the company's distribution business director... This year, I helped him deal with two legal disputes."

Edward couldn't help it: "No wonder you can be a director. It turns out that you really have represented the Sacred Valley business."

"Wrong." Bryan always had a bright smile, even when he was saying rebuttals: "I am acting for Justin's personal business."

Cadillac came to the San Fernando Valley and, under the guidance of Brian, stopped in front of a company.

The three got out of the car, and an assistant was waiting at the door, saying a few words to Brian, and directly took the people upstairs.

In the spacious office, under Brian's introduction, bald Justin shook hands with Hawk.

Brian mixed in with this matter and tried to have a good result, and emphasized: "Hauck is the driving force behind Steve Nat's things. And Erica's things, have you read the news? ”

"Miss Ferguson is very brave and is a city hero in Los Angeles," Just said.

Brian said again: "The video of Erica and Johnson was taken by this guy, and the promotion and image operation was originally from him."

Whether acting or not, Just looked in awe and shook hands with Hawke: "You are also a hero."

"I just did a little assist," Hawke said.

He asked Edward to put down his laptop and turn it on, and went straight to the topic: "I came here today, mainly want to discuss cooperation with your company. I have a video here, maybe you will be interested."

Just came and saw it.

Edward clicked on the video.

After watching it for only half a minute, Just became interested, especially the male and female protagonists in the film.

He could recognize the male lead at a glance: "This is Josh Hart, the male lead in Pearl Harbor. He also has a strong role in "Black Hawk Down" released this year."

"It's Josh Hartnett, indeed," Hawke said.

Just continued to look at the woman's face and frowned slightly: "The heroine looks familiar. I think about it, by the way, in the big-scale news of Yahoo Entertainment today, is she the person in the photo?"

Hawke added: "Alison Fies, a girl star, was once as famous as the Mickey Mouse Club's most famous ones."

Just thought for a moment, said nothing more, and continued to read.

The video lasted for more than thirty minutes, and there were also scenes almost the same as news pictures.

But in the eyes of professionals like him, there is still a difference in soy milk machines.

However, no matter how you watch the video, it is a selfie. With his professional level, he can tell that there is no background light and no editing of the picture. It is just a couple who simply records their love process.

This type of selfie video is very interesting if it is an ordinary handsome man and a beautiful woman. It involves a Hollywood star and an outdated actress, which will definitely arouse the interest of consumers.

As the video was played, Just looked at Hawke: "I want to know where the video comes from."

Hawke took the authorization letter from his bag and placed it in front of Just: "This is the authorization of Josh Hartnett and Alison Fies."

Just took it over and looked at Brian after browsing. When he saw Brian nodding and asked, "What do you mean, they want to sell the copyright of the video and then release it?"

Hawke nodded, “That’s exactly that.”

Just didn't understand. There were indeed many actors in their industry who took the initiative to join, but they had to rely more on cheating and temptation of money. Are there any problems with the two?

"I'm very confused." He said directly.

"Special needs," Hawke said in detail: "The video is licensed to private video companies, and Josh and Alison only have 10% of the sales share each, and the rest belongs to you."

Just was very moved by this condition, and the videotapes of Hollywood stars would definitely be crazy.

A lot of money is needed to be invested in publicity, and the cost of DVD suppression is so low that it can be ignored.

But he was a businessman, and after some bargaining, he finally reached an agreement on 7%.

Hawke added another one: "But there is one condition, you must follow my publicity plan and match my rhythm."

Just said, “I want to know what your plan is.”

"First of all, you have to find someone who dares to take risks and act as the owner of a repair shop." Hawke said in detail.

The talks lasted until 10 o'clock in the evening, and the two sides finally signed an authorization agreement.

Just found that following Hawke's plan, not only did it have no risks, but the video was also very likely to be a super big hit.

He was embarrassed to refuse
