Chapter 27 What kind of news is the most popular
The exclusive licensing agreement was signed, Jerry the Bearded presented the check, Hawke handed over the photo copy, and both parties left separately.
West Coast Media and Entertainment Studio completed its first sales.
Income of $10,000.
Hoke drove the car back to East Hollywood. The car was parked on the side of the road. He returned home, closed the security door, checked the surveillance camera and alarm, found a bottle of water, opened it and took a few sips. .
After coming out of the Viper Bar, I worked hard for half the night without stopping for a moment.
He took out the check, put it on the table, and looked at the numbers on it again.
Money is a man's courage, and Hawke is no exception.
I want to do something in Los Angeles, but money keeps flowing out.
Herald Hawke asked the hotel attendant to deliver goods and set off fireworks. It had nothing to do with the so-called charisma, but rather his ability to use money.
Relevant news will appear in the newspaper tomorrow.
In Hawke's opinion, Robert Downey Jr.'s acting career will encounter great setbacks.
Du Chong married the producer's wife, which will definitely have a negative impact.
Hawk doesn’t want to do anything to Robert Downey Jr.
He has always been fair, repaying retaliation. Downey asked him to jump off the building, so Downey would just jump off the building.
It was approaching midnight and Hawke went upstairs to take a shower and go to bed.
The gun was placed within easy reach. There was a security window in the bedroom that could be opened from the inside and jumped directly to the back of the house.
The next morning, Hawke's specially customized safe was delivered.
While the workers were unloading the goods, Frank, an old man who lived in the parking lot opposite, was picking up cans nearby and came close to join in the fun.
He asked Hawke: "You also got a safe, what secrets do you plan to store?"
Hawke told him clearly: "Yes, it's used to store secrets."
Frank shook the net bag he was carrying, and there was a sound of cans colliding inside. He was thick-skinned: "If you don't want the paper shell, Give it to me.”
“Yes, I will give you all the recyclable materials in the future.” Hawke made a condition. : "I'm usually not at home, please help me pay attention here."
Frank responded: "No problem, people on the streets here will give Frank some face to me."
< br>Hoke was curious and asked: "You don't look like a gang member, the leader of the beggar gang in this neighborhood?"
His eyes fell on the cans in the net bag: "This business seems to be very popular. You pick it up so unscrupulously, and no one comes to beat you..."
Frank raised his chin: "Because they can't afford to offend you. Me."
Hoke was even more curious: "Why have you always been there? Living in an RV in the parking lot?”
Frank’s face was full of stories: “This is too complicated, you young people won’t understand”
The workers unloaded the safe at this time. Hawke ended his chat with Frank and directed the workers to move into the home and place it in a corner of the living room.
The safe is extremely heavy and uses an old-fashioned mechanical combination lock.
A technician explained a few words to Hawke and quickly left with the workers.
Hoke set up the safe, found some useless books, newspapers, photos, etc., and stuffed them inside.
Being in the media, entertainment and business consulting industry involves a lot of competition. High-end business wars and high-end public relations are both plain and simple, so you have to be careful.
Therefore, Hawke took out the trigger switch that he had already prepared, installed it in the reserved position of the custom safe, and connected the power source by routing the wires from underneath it unnoticeably.
As long as someone cracks the safe, they can experience the terror of the Thunder King.
Just like serious people don’t keep diaries, and non-serious people write their diaries for outsiders to read, serious people like Hawke don’t hide valuables in safes. After setting up the safe, Hawke came to the window and found that the old man Frank was still waiting outside. He immediately packed up the carton and foam and took it out to him.
“I’ll buy you a beer later.” Frank hugged the cardboard box, crossed the road, and returned to the RV.
Hoke went to the nearest newsstand to buy a copy of the National Enquirer.
Before I even got close, I saw the newsstand owner hanging the newspaper in the most conspicuous position. The picture of a man and a woman kissing passionately on the front page was enlarged to nearly half the page, constantly attracting the attention of passers-by.
A few people were buying newspapers in front of them. Hawke stood in front of the newsstand and watched for a while.
Among the piles of newspapers in front of the boss, the National Enquirer has the least remaining ones, and it seems to be selling better than the Los Angeles Times.
When there was no one in front of him, Hawke bought a copy and asked casually: "The sales are particularly good today?"
"The National Enquirer has big news today!" the boss said in a mood Yes, he said with a smile: "What kind of news is the most popular? It's not what new policies Washington has introduced or which rich man has increased his wealth, but the super gossip of celebrities."
He told the truth: "This is what ordinary people like to see most, and they can understand it, and they can discuss it with anyone."
Hoke said: "Boss, you see clearly, and you have It makes sense.”
The boss looked like he had experienced it before: "I have been selling newspapers for 20 years and have seen too much."
Hoke took out a business card and handed it to the boss: "If you encounter interesting people or things, call me."
The boss understands: "Are you a reporter?"
"So, it's part of a part-time job." Hawke took the newspaper home and read it carefully to see how others wrote.
Because the future business of the studio will also involve this aspect.
"Robert Downey Jr. and Sarah Parker had a hotel tryst, and both betrayed their marriages and cheated on each other!"
The title is concise, but unfortunately not shocking.
In my impression, it will take a few years for the shocking body to appear. It seems that the development on the other side of the Pacific is faster.
Hawke felt that if the opportunity was right, the shock body could be put to use.
…………
Full Speed Public Relations Company, Director’s Office.
Rooney Chasen, senior partner and director of the company, slapped the National Enquirer on her desk with a loud bang.
Sasha and Amanda shrank their necks unconsciously.
Caroline Jones stretched out her slender neck and stood quietly in the office.
Rooney, who was already 40 years old, saw the young and beautiful appearance of the other party, and then thought about the age that was fifteen years younger than herself. She was furious and reprimanded: "You get the news as soon as possible. I went to deal with it at the time, and I was faced with an independent freelance reporter, but I didn’t take him down?”
Although Caroline was not afraid of Rooney, she did not speak rashly.
Rooney added: "The two customers are very dissatisfied with us. Robert Downey Jr. has decided to terminate his contract with the company. Your failure has brought heavy losses to the company's reputation and business. The board of directors has intervened in this matter. If it wasn't for me, you would have been fired!"
Caroline did not shirk: "It is my responsibility."
"That's not what I care about. It's not that I lost Donnie as a client. There are too many bad things about this poisonous insect. I've had enough of him for a long time!" Rooney took a deep breath and changed her tone: "What makes me most angry is What's more, this matter is completely out of control!"
She looked at Caroline: "You were so embarrassed by a man. If it were me, I would have climbed up to the Columbia Building and jumped directly. ”
Caroline said softly: "I underestimated the enemy."
Rooney vented her anger and felt a little more comfortable. After sitting down, she said: "It doesn't matter if you lose Donnie, but the company will never allow Sarah to be lost again. ·Parker, go find her now and do everything you can to appease her, even if you lick her butt, you have to keep her!"
Caroline felt uncomfortable, but she could only do it. Do.
