Chapter 14 George is finished

It was getting brighter, and the chimneys that calmed down in the middle of the night spewed out smoke again, and one of them was even thicker.

In front of the fireplace, Hawke burned all the clothes that the two had changed into ashes.

“Are you sure you have cleaned everything?” Brand’s voice coming from the bedroom was a bit strange: “No evidence was left?”

Hoke turned over the clothes so that they could be fully burned: “ I have cleaned it up carefully, and even if it is finally confirmed that it is man-made, it will not be traced to us.”

Brand put on his coat and came out of the bedroom.

Hoke turned around and almost threw away the fire stick. He pointed at the corner of his mouth and asked, "What did you do?"

Brand touched the wound at the corner of his mouth and spoke. He frowned in pain: "It's easy to slip up when I say something. I don't want to go to jail. I scratched it with a thumbtack a few times. It hurts when I talk. Remind me not to talk nonsense."

Hoke suddenly felt that he had Human education is ruined.

No, it should be training people out.

The ashes were thrown into the public trash can. The two went out to the hotel and communicated with Catherine and Eric for a while. Catherine would then rush to the airport to wait for Castle Rock Pictures and Robert Reiner to arrive.

Hoke and Brand came to the opposite side of the Crystal Cinema and found a fast food restaurant with a glass curtain wall. They chose the side next to the glass wall and ate while waiting for the cinema to open.

Brand only asked for a glass of milk with a straw.

During the period, Hawke called Larson and the four deputy captains respectively, and asked Brand to call Lewis and Damian to make an appointment for breakfast.

Ten minutes later, the two men rushed over.

Before the four of them finished their breakfast, the owner of the Crystal Cinema came over to open the door.

Thinking of being scolded as shit one after another last night, Brand couldn't help but mutter: "This damn thing..."

Before he finished speaking, the wound on the corner of his mouth hurt. Shut up now.

Across the road, the theater owner opened the door and found that there was a power outage. He went to the power distribution room without haste and struggled for a while, but there was still no power.

He couldn't find the problem and called for repair.

The boss went to the tool room in the back to start the generator that had not been used for more than a year, but the generator did not run at all.

"Trouble." He muttered, checking the generator, but it still couldn't start. He couldn't help but kicked it: "The things sold by Indians are really unreliable. They haven't been used for more than a year!"

If there is no electricity today and the theater cannot show it, the crew will definitely cause trouble and all the money spent on booking the movie will have to be spent.

The first film to be screened in the morning was "Lemon Street", and the boss quickly found the director's phone number.

George was having breakfast when he heard the power outage in the theater. He immediately threw down the tableware and rushed over.

He was more anxious than the boss. He entered the theater and asked loudly: "Why is there a power outage? When will the call come?"

The boss spread his hands and said: "I don't know. I checked, but it's useless. I'll wait for the power maintenance personnel to come."

George roared angrily: "Where are the maintenance personnel? Are they here?" 
"When I called them, they were having breakfast." The boss was helpless: "After breakfast, I have to sign in at the company, then have a morning meeting, and then I can come over."

Bang With a sound, George punched the counter: "Damn it! Damn it!"

He turned to look at the wall clock and comforted himself: "There is still time."

The boss didn't want to break the contract, so he kept calling, urging people to come over quickly. He also wanted to borrow a generator, but he couldn't find it for a while. .

George walked out of the cinema, talking on the phone and walking up and down the steps.

I spent a lot of money to find an agency to contact Castle Rock Pictures, but when the other party came here, they couldn't show it. He would be blacklisted by Hollywood buyers.

In the restaurant across the road, Hawke and the others finished their breakfast.

Lewis looked at the Crystal Cinema through the glass wall and said: "You have treated us to dinner twice, so you should help us."

Young people like to talk about brotherly loyalty, Damian assured him : "Keep an eye on them and don't pull the strings. This is to protect the safety of Park City."

Hoke said softly: "Besides this, there is one small thing, which may be a bit risky."

He Kicked Brand.

Brand took out the cash he had prepared and handed it to the two of them, pointed at his mouth where it was difficult to speak, and said nothing.

Hawke said: "I can't let you take risks and gain nothing."

Lewis and Damian looked at each other, put away the money, and said carelessly: "A little risk is nothing." 
Hoke pointed at George Hansen who was on the phone at the door and said: "By the way, keep an eye on the man wearing gold-rimmed glasses and wait for my call. Find a suitable opportunity and tell him something..."

“It’s too easy.” Damian felt that the money was too profitable.

Hoke said: "I'll leave it to you here."

After the two of them went out, he called Brand and went to the Alpine Pizza restaurant together.

Brand said surprisingly little today because of the wound on the corner of his mouth.

Don’t speak unless necessary.

Hoke came to the pizza shop, and people from the theater troupe came over one after another. Larson and the four deputy leaders also came.

The man with the beard came over from the side and patted Hawke on the shoulder with his big hand: "Man, you still owe me a cup of black coffee!"

"I'll get it for you." Hawk asked for a drink from Bill and gave it to Beard.

The man said cheerfully: "You are a good person."

There was a girl about ten years old next to him, and asked Hawke: "Do I have ten dollars to go to the movie?" 
“Of course!” Hawke reminded: “But you can’t talk nonsense. "

The girl nodded repeatedly: "Yeah, yeah." She threw herself at her sister: "I have ten dollars of pocket money this week!" More and more people gathered in the store, and Hawke saw it. It’s almost time, let Larson and the others lead them there separately,

Arriving at the Great Salt Lake Cinema, Eric was waiting at the door. Seeing the audiences entering the theater one after another, he felt half relieved.

He found Hawke and asked: "Have you rehearsed yet?"

Hoke responded: "Don't worry, there will be no problem, everyone will be attentive. No one will leave in the middle of the movie."

Eric felt something was wrong: "Didn't you say that the audience would have appropriate emotional expressions?"

Hawke asked rhetorically: "Isn't immersing yourself in the movie and concentrating on watching the movie the best emotional expression?"

Of course he had other preparations: "The highlight will be after the movie is over."
 Eric has already boarded Hawke's pirate ship and can only follow his arrangements.

Hoke entered the theater and found that the audience was sitting in a concentrated position. He quickly waved to Larson and the deputy leaders and warned: "vacate the front two rows and the back two rows, and spread out the other seats. Sit down, we are not watching the movie as a group!”

Larson has been watching and learning, and said: “It makes sense”

Hawke added: "You are scattered in various areas and urge them to maintain their condition. The key point is that the film screening must be over and the duration must last until I sit down. If there is a scoring session, don't give them all full marks, three or four stars will suffice. ”

Full score is five stars.

Larson said: "No problem, I have arranged everything."

Hoke returned to the last row and observed for a while. With the help of Larson and several others, some of the People changed places.

Many people were bored and drinking coffee while waiting.

Hawke turned around and left the screening room, went to the sales area, glanced at it, and called Brand: "Call Bill and send the same instant black coffee over immediately and put it on the sales area."

Brand endured the pain in his mouth and called.

Hoke found the theater owner Mason and gave him a few more words.

Eric ran in from outside and said to Hawke: "The plane has landed."

Hoke took out his mobile phone and called Lewis: "Look for an opportunity to start."

Eric was curious: "Start what?"

Hoke did not answer, but asked: "I remember you have a DV, can you lend it to me."

"Okay. ” Eric immediately asked his employees to get it.

When he got it, Hawke discovered that it was a new handheld camera, not for home use, but a professional version.

Eric briefly taught Hawke.

Hawke then said to the theater owner: "Mason, provide some temporary security agreements. I will find a few people here to sign them and maintain order in the movie until the end of the screening. It is free."

Eric said : "Just listen to him."

The donor increased the money today, and Mason thought about it for a moment and agreed.

…………

A vehicle with electrical maintenance painted on it was parked at the entrance of the Crystal Cinema. Two maintenance personnel got out of the car and went to the back for inspection.

George was relieved. The agent had just called him and the plane had landed.

"There is still time." He followed to understand the situation.

Not long after, I got the worst news.

"The situation is very complicated. We need to do further maintenance." The maintenance staff said directly: "The fault cannot be eliminated in a short time."

The boss asked: "How long will it take?"

The maintenance man said: "It won't be until the afternoon at the earliest, or maybe tomorrow."

George exploded immediately: "What? Afternoon? How did you do the work! It must be repaired within half an hour..."

The maintenance staff did not accept this and spread their hands: "You can fix it."

"Please hurry up." George barely suppressed his temper and looked at the theater owner: "Where is the generator?"

The boss was also helpless: "The generator comes from a company run by Indians. I called When I called for repair, I was told that there were too many machines waiting for repair and it would be scheduled until the next week.”

He was very particular: "If your film cannot be screened on time, I will refund all the money to you."

"Is this a matter of refunding the money? Farke! Farke!" George felt that the future was dark. Everything was fine last night, why did things suddenly become like this?

He wanted to say something else, but when he saw the boss holding an electric baton in his hand, he quickly shut up.

The boss said again: "I will transfer the money to you."

George was in a daze and didn't know how to get back to the theater. Outside the main entrance, the ringing of his cell phone woke him up, but it was the agent calling. Come.

Just as he was about to pick it up, a young man next to him rushed over: "Anal fissure man, throat blaster, this is the fate you deserve!"

There was a crash, and George's cell phone hit the place where the young man was standing just now. A place where I was beaten to a pulp.

Lewis jumped down the steps and generously gave George two middle fingers.

"Eric Ethan, we're not done!"

George rushed down the steps, got into the black car on the side of the road, and drove towards the Great Salt Lake Theater.

It's over here, it doesn't matter anymore.

But he would never make it easy for that bastard.
