The Wolf of Los Angeles

When Kobe and the other three returned to Twitter, they had reached an agreement.

Before getting off the car, Vanessa pointed to the office building outside and asked, "We really want to pay them a lot of money?"

Steve's words changed Pelinka's mind a lot, and he took the initiative to take responsibility: "This is my fault, and I should use money to solve the problem as soon as possible."

Kobe shook his head: "You have nothing to do with it. I think it's too simple. I think I didn't do it. The facts and axioms should be on my side. The public opinion and the law should give me justice."

He looked bitter: "It turns out that I can only play basketball, and in other aspects... Steve Nat, it's too much more than me."

It was still the same reception room, and the two sides met again.

Pelinka asked, “Can you really turn the situation around?”

The lamb leg still rushed to the front and said, "It's up to Twitter to trade secrets, I can only tell you that Twitter spent a lot of money to buy key news materials from Eagle County."

Kobe had made up his mind at this time, and he had no nonsense this time. He looked at Hawke and said directly: "Mr. Osmon, I want to hire you as my crisis public relations manager, and entrust your West Coast Studio to fully handle the Hawks. Media PR matters in the County Incident.”

Edward was a little curious, and the other party's attitude changed a little quickly.

Kobe is a young and impulsive person. He was stubborn before, but now he figured it out and said, "I am willing to pay $3 million for this."

Pelinka looked at Kobe, saw Kobe nodding, and said, "All news materials purchased by Twitter related to the Eagle County incident, regardless of the specific content, we are willing to buy out the copyright for $5 million and entrust Twitter with full authority. release."

Hawke simply said, "Call your lawyer and we'll sign the contract."

With a huge sum of $8 million, even though he was mentally prepared, Kobe and Vanessa still felt a pain.

It’s okay for men to say that Kobe has a big heart on the court.

Vanessa couldn't help but mutter that the number Katherine Fibell asked for was not much higher.

She asked, "How much can you turn the situation around?"

Facing clients who pay large fees, Hawke is very professional and can guess what the other party is thinking and said directly: "If you pay compensation to Catherine Fibier and finally reach a settlement, what will happen? It seems to be able to solve it, but Kobe will bear the reputation of a strong criminal in his life, and in the eyes of fans, leagues and businesses, the value will be greatly reduced."

This is not difficult to understand, Kobe and Pelinka nodded slightly.

Hawke said again: "If Catherine Fibier is accusing Kobe of accusing Kobe, Kobe is just cheating." He looked at Vanessa: "That's your husband and wife's private affairs, you can close the door and solve it yourself. And from Hollywood to the sports circle, There are too many celebrities who cheat, and their business value will not be affected too much."

Edward suddenly said, "My man, fortunately you are not a man, that's a problem."

Kobe's couple's face instantly turned darker than Edward.

Not long after, the lawyer rushed over and the two sides officially signed the agreement.

Kobe paid the first payments from Twitter and West Coast Studios, at $3 million and $2 million, respectively.

Edward brought the video material and after soliciting Kobe's opinion, he played it directly on the spot.

After reading it, Kobe's face looked very ugly and his mood was very complicated. On the one hand, this can prove his innocence.

On the other hand, I was actually photographed.

Kobe asked, "Where did these come from?"

"The acquisition of high prices." Caroline said seriously: "As for the specific source, I cannot tell you that the News Act stipulates that the source of news must not be leaked and that the news persons are protected. This is the basic principle of freedom of the press."

In the past six months, Twitter has been acquiring news materials.

Pelinka is suspicious, but the most important thing at the moment is to get Kobe out of the predicament, saying: "Will we hand these over to the Eagle County Police?"

"No, just handing it over to the Eagle County police will not calm down public opinion, and it will also trigger a new wave of public opinion crisis." Hawke said seriously: "Compared with Katherine Fibier, the hotel receptionist, Kobe is a millionaire. Absolutely strong man, even if the Eagle County police announced that there was key evidence to prove that Kobe was not guilty, public opinion and the public will not let Kobe go."

Pelinka thoughtful.

Hawke continued: "If Kobe is innocent, will public opinion be quickly calmed down? Newspaper sales decline, TV ratings decline, website clicks become less... In order to continue to attract attention, they will question, and the public naturally does not believe in celebrities and Official speeches will continue to question Kobe's guilt, and public opinion will still be unfavorable to Kobe."

He emphasized: "Public opinion can kill people! It can make a person die socially!"

Kobe and Pelinka, one is a sports star and the other is an agent. Although they are not good at public relations, they are not completely unfamiliar with media and public opinion.

The former suddenly said, "Michael Jackson..."

Hawke asked Kobe: "Would you like to spend the rest of your life in public opinion? Do you want to always bear the reputation of a strong suspect?"

"No, no!" Kobe shook his head quickly: "That's too terrible!"

Pelinka also thought of serious consequences, and the losses in terms of commercial endorsements alone will be greatly exaggerated.

Kobe asked, "What are you going to do?"

Hawke had already considered it and said, "Catherine has been blocked by money. She will only make one choice and stick to it. Let's release two videos of you kissing Katherine first. Catherine is active in the video. Taking the initiative, this cannot change the direction of public opinion, but it can attract Catherine to stand up and refute it, and it will inevitably fabricate new lies."

He reached out to Caroline, took the water handed over by the lamb leg, unscrewed and took a sip, and continued, "The more lies she made up, the more backlash she was suffered when the video in the room was released."

Vanessa asked, “Does the video have to be made public?”

"Video disclosure has two functions." Hawke explained one by one: "First, it can break Catherine's lies and prove Kobe's innocence; secondly, it can effectively divert the public opinion, and their future discussion will focus on the video itself."

He also added: "Twitter is a regular media, and videos can be coded." Kobe and Pelinka looked at each other and said, "Yes."

Hawke said to Caroline, "Prepare to execute."

Caroline changed from lamb leg to female elite, left the reception room, called Sasha, and started the next step.

The plans were all prepared before, but now that the customer has paid, they must be implemented without any discount.

In the afternoon of the same day, Twitter released news again about Kobe's door.

"This site has received new videos mailed by Kobe's fans, and there is a new story behind Qiangjian's case."

Below the news title, there are two videos.

The video content is all about Katherine Fibier kissing Kobe.

Twitter has once again become the focus of the entire network.

The Eagle County was in a bad mood.

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

As well as the paparazzi, hundreds of reporters gathered there, digging around the news. Although some were dug, they were all verbally speaking, and there were no photos or videos at all.

Not only did Twitter companies far away in Los Angeles have won exclusive headlines and jumped in positions, but they have also continuously exposed their exclusives.

These reporters became even more crazy, digging three feet into the ground to find scoops while starting to surround Catherine Fibell, one of the parties involved.

Some of these people with a keen sense of news have a feeling that Catherine is about to collapse.

While Katherine went out to the Eagle County Police Department to receive routine inquiries about the video, she was blocked by dozens of reporters.

A reporter asked: "In the latest video posted by Twitter, you took the initiative to kiss Kobe. What is your explanation?"

Juan was also mixed with the reporters and shouted loudly: "Did you volunteer to have **** with Kobe? After that, you want to make money!"

This made other reporters ask questions, and each question is so heartbroken.

Catherine had never experienced such a situation. She was stimulated and said loudly: "I originally had a good impression of Kobe and liked him very much, so I kissed him, but I didn't expect that he actually used violence against me."

The next morning, Catherine was sent out by countless print and online media in the face of what the reporter said.

On Twitter, there were gradually doubts about Catherine.

The number of users has been shirked away, which quickly affected other websites.

Public opinion on the Internet has been affected.

Taking this opportunity, Twitter posted another video.

The title is aggressive this time.

"Catherine Fibell's scars are suspected to be fake!"

The video is taken from the door of the hotel female employee's locker room. It can be clearly seen that before Catherine entered the locker room, there were no scars on her face and neck. When she came out, her face turned blue and purple.

In addition, below the video, there is a third-party agency’s identification of the authenticity of the video.

The whole network was in an uproar, and the public opinion on the Internet was turning around.

"This woman is obviously lying, and her words are not credible."

"The so-called evidence of beating is false, and will other evidence be true?"

"She must want money!"

There are also colleagues, such as the Los Angeles Times Twitter account, @ the official Twitter account and asked for the source of information.

Twitter official posted that the video came from another Kobe fan, who also had more important evidence in his hands and was rushing to Los Angeles from Eagle County.

These news attracted all the attention of those who were following the Kobe Gate incident and media reporters to Twitter.

In just two days, in terms of contacting Twitter, there were more than 50 media outlets who wanted to open an official Twitter account.

The announcement of the so-called important evidence in advance is about to be obtained, which is also a kind of "see you on Monday".

Catherine in Eagle County was completely silent.

After two days of fermentation, just as the media and public expectations reached their highest point, Twitter released the news again.

This time, there is no news title, it is just a video of coding in key areas.

In the video, Katherine is proactive and enthusiastic. Not only does she take off her clothes herself, she also stops the man from taking safety measures, claiming that using those rubber products will not allow her to enjoy it.

Subsequently, accompanied by a lawyer, Kobe walked into the FBI Los Angeles branch office to call the police, and while providing video evidence, he claimed that he was slandered and framed.

The FBI announced that the case will be officially accepted. (End of this chapter)
