Chapter 15 One fish eats more
The black car drove towards the Great Salt Lake Cinema. Damian, who was staring at the roadside, made a call and reported the license plate number.
George, who doesn’t understand high-end business wars at all, just wants to make Eric look good.
The other party ruined his screening, and he will also ruin the other party's screening.
With the ready-made case in front of him, George didn’t even have to think about it, he just followed it.
"He didn't come to the main entrance. He went to the backyard." Someone called Hawke on the side of the road.
In the corridor, Hawke received a call, took a handheld camera, and led people to the backyard. He said to Beard, Larson and others: "The people are coming, hide them."
The bearded man chuckled: "I won't drink your black coffee in vain."
Hoke stood in front of the rear window, turned on the camera, adjusted the lens, and shot the backyard.
Eric didn’t understand: “Is this also part of creating a movie-going atmosphere?”
"Let you watch a good show." Hawke made a silent gesture.
The money has not been collected yet, customer satisfaction is very important.
Eric waited for a moment and saw two things flying over the low wall of the backyard one after another, and then his nemesis George climbed over the wall and jumped in.
George picked up the wooden bat and opened the safety pin of the car's fire extinguisher.
He swung the bat and knocked down the abandoned Christmas tree blocking the road. He raised the fire extinguisher in his hand, found the heat dissipation window of the power distribution room, and strode over there.
The bearded man came around from the side of the power distribution room, quietly approached George, and launched a brutal collision.
With a plop, George fell on his butt.
He let out a weird scream, automatically released the bat and fire extinguisher with both hands, covered his buttocks and rolled back and forth, as if he was being brutally tortured.
Beard was dumbfounded, raised his hands and said, "It wasn't me, it wasn't me."
George regretted extremely that he should not have agreed to wear his bald head all day long.
At this moment, he felt like he was going to die.
Hoke turned off the camera and called the theater owner Mason: "There was a bastard who tried to destroy your power distribution room, and we caught him."
George was still rolling, incomparable miserable.
Eric grabbed Hawke's hand and laughed, feeling cheerful: "Okay! Great! Brother, you helped me breathe out a bad breath!"
Hoke said: "If the camera is used for a while longer, I will transfer what I shot."
"You like it very much? I gave it to you." Eric was obviously not joking, pointing at the rolling George and said: "You have to accept it, that's all, this camera is not enough!"
At this moment, the pressure was released, and Eric was relaxed and happy. He didn't even care about the movie anymore, and said: "Even if you can't sell the movie rights in the end, I will pay you another sum of money, 2% of the production cost. . ”
It’s not him who pays for it anyway, the worst he can do is kneel down and lick her for a few more nights.
Mason arrived at this time, asked a few questions, and called the police.
Hoke reminded: "These are limited to the backyard, don't affect the front."
Mason charged Eric an extra sum of money and was particularly cooperative: "Don't worry, the police officers are all our own."
In small towns, favors are everywhere.
Hoke borrowed Eric's computer and transferred the video to the storage disk he provided.
Back in the backyard, the police and ambulance arrived.
Hoke provided the video as evidence, and Mason took out the temporary security agreement for the theater that had just been signed for ten minutes.
You won't have any trouble with a beard.
The wailing George lay on a stretcher and was carried into the ambulance.
"What's going on?" someone asked.
The doctors and nurses compared their hands: "It's terrible. It's expected to be at least seven inches. They all went in. May God bless him."
The ambulance and police car just left, with a tag hanging on his chest. The female reporter hurried over, blocked the door and asked Mason: "What happened?" Mason shook his head: "Jina, you are too slow, you can't even get the hot news."
Hoke glanced at the cameraman behind him, then glanced at her hangtag in front of the airport, and said to the others: "You go back first, and I will have a few words with her."
Jinna shook hands with Hawke and showed her tag: "Jinna Enke, local, salt Lake City Channel 7 reporter. "
Hoke shook the camera in his hand: "I have big news here. There is a bastard who wants to destroy the theater power distribution room..."
Jin Na was very happy: "I will take the video for 50 dollars."
"Can you hear me out?" Hawke continued what he just said: "This bastard is a director and has a feature film participating in this film festival. He is envious and jealous of the superior works of his peers, so he came here specifically to destroy the screening."
Jin Na smelled greater news value.
Hoke said: "If such a scandal occurs at the Sundance Film Festival, it will cause a sensation in the entire film industry and even the entire entertainment industry. My time is precious. If you don't want to pay $1,000, I will contact Fox." Or a reporter from CBS."
Jin Na pointed to the camera: "Let me take a look first."
Hoke took her to the computer and played the video just now, specifically mentioning that. A terrifying seven inches.
Just George destroying the theater distribution box is worth at most $50.
But with the director’s status and the Sundance Film Festival, the value has increased more than ten times.
This is the first time in the 18 years since the Sundance Film Festival was held that such a high-end business war has occurred.
Jin Na called for instructions and temporarily borrowed $1,000 from Mason to buy the video from Hawke.
Back in the front hall of the theater, Brand, who had been following him, ignored his sore mouth and said softly: "I realize that I don't really know you, Hawke. You have almost got all the benefits you can get. ”
Hawke smiled: "We are partners, and you will share in the benefits."
Brand closed his mouth and thought seriously.
He had a feeling that as long as he learned half of Hawke's skills, student loans and the like wouldn't matter.
…………
Crystal Cinema, four cars drove over and parked on the side of the road.
Robert Reiner, wearing a woolen coat, came to the entrance of the theater with his assistant and four subordinates.
Catherine, who got out of the last BMW, consciously stopped at the bottom of the steps.
No one from the crew greeted me, only a man wearing a cowboy hat walking up and down the steps.
Robert frowned, slightly displeased.
Due to the power outage in the theater, many crews were facing breach of contract. The boss was annoyed. Seeing so many people coming, he said impatiently: "There is a power outage in the theater. There will be no screenings today. Go watch the movie elsewhere."< br>
Robert turned to look at his assistant.
The assistant quickly said: "I'll call and ask."
Robert waved his hand: "No, let's go."
A subordinate next to him came over at this time , pointed at the steps: "Boss, Catherine has been waiting."
Robert paused briefly, walked towards Catherine, and said pleasantly: "You, like your father, will not give up until you achieve your goal. Okay. Come on, lead the way. "
Catherine seemed as if nothing happened and said with a smile: "Uncle Robert, walk this way, it's not far, just a few minutes' drive."
The four cars left and went straight to the Great Salt Lake Cinema.
Along the way, the assistant was very careful and did not dare to say a word. He could see that the boss was very dissatisfied with him.
The assistant hated that agency.
Unlike the deserted Crystal Cinema, several people from the Great Salt Lake crew were waiting on the roadside and greeted the convoy enthusiastically.
Catherine introduced both sides.
Robert glanced at the entrance of the theater, and audiences were entering one after another, and said: "No hurry, let's watch the movie first."
