Chapter 45 Death and disgrace


Chapter 45: Death and Disgrace

After the video played, Edmund, Susie and Julian secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The first two are from the Parker Center at the headquarters. Among them, Susie is doing media liaison work. She is very aware that the incident may trigger a huge public opinion storm.

The media has been staring at the LAPD.

But these two videos are enough to make the storm disappear and crucify Robert Downey Jr.!

In addition, she found that the shooting angle was very clever, not only recording the entire shooting process, but also focusing on Robert Downey Jr.

After watching the video, people immediately felt that Robert Downey Jr. deserved it.

The same thing, shot by different cameramen from different angles, can give viewers completely different feelings.

Susie came close to Edmund's ear and whispered a few words softly.

Edmund's attitude changed obviously. He smiled at Hawke and said, "Can we make a copy of the video?"

Susie immediately took out a mobile storage disk from her bag.

"Let me make a copy for you." Hawke took it.

After the video was copied, Edmund still had some doubts. At this time, he asked directly: "Have you been filming Downey?"

"How many days have you been filming?" Hawke opened the notebook folder and opened the photos and videos one by one: "This is when he went to Tracy Fitness Room a few days ago, this is when he went to the Wing Chun Gym on Victory Street, and this is when he went to the Viper Bar..."

Edmund asked again: "Why do you want to follow him?"

"These are my jobs." Hawke found a recent copy of the "Inquirer" and put it on the low table, pointing to the front page headline: "I took this news, but please keep it a secret. I'm worried about getting into trouble. ”

He added: “Yes, and Please don’t disclose the source of today’s video.”

Susie responded: “We are the LAPD and we understand the press law and will never disclose the source of the video.”

Hoke is basically sure. LAPD's position, so To stand on the same side: "I just came to Los Angeles, less than a month ago, and I am often like a headless fly. I finally catch a headline, and I think if I dig deeper, I will get more news. I have read about it in the past few years. Downey's report, if people like him don't break a scandal, It’s as difficult as keeping people fed and watered. I’ve always felt that a poisonous insect like him would destroy himself completely.”

Thinking of Downey’s bad things over the years, Edmund nodded slowly and suddenly became nervous. Staring at Hawke: "Did you call the police?"

"Call the police? I never called the police." Hawke was surprised.

Edmond has been a police officer for more than ten years and feels that the person opposite is not lying.

Hoke was confident because he really didn’t call the police.

Edmund nodded and asked: "Donny is not the only one in the car, right?"

Hoke said: "Yes, Donny also has a driver, but he has always been I didn’t get out of the car and I didn’t take any photos.”

He spread his hands: "Even if he gets out of the car, I won't take pictures. The driver has no news value. The camera will not waste even a second on him."

Edmond recognized this.

Seeing that he stopped asking questions, Susie quickly asked the key: "Did you give the video to Fox?"

Hoke said: "I gave it to the program team of Channel 11's "Midnight Entertainment" exclusively Authorized, the agreement has been signed.”

He knew. Why did the other party ask these questions: "During the authorization negotiation, I made a solemn statement to the program team about the angle and position of the report, asking them to report from the perspective of facts. The program team promised this and wrote it in on the licensing agreement.”

Susie tentatively asked: "Can I see the agreement?"

Hoke found it: "Please do not take pictures."

Susie quickly read it again, and it was true: "Thank you . ”

The existence of Hawke made the work of the LAPD easier, and the originally complicated situation suddenly became clear.

Edmund said goodbye. Before leaving, Susie left Hawke a business card and asked for his contact information: "If there is any need later..."

Hawke smiled: "You can call me anytime."

The three LAPD went out and got in the car, Susie asked: "Inspector, what is this about?"

Ed Meng said softly: "The attitude from above is very clear. Downey attacked the police with a gun and deserves what he deserves."

In the past few years, Downey was beaten three times in a row, and the fourth time he will be completely disgraced.

Susie nodded, took off her hat, revealing her brown hair tied into a bun, and said, "Send me to the Fox Television Center."

Julian immediately drove to Century City.

Susie searched for contact information and found the "Midnight Entertainment" program team, and quickly contacted Megan Taylor. The two met at the Fox Television Center and hit it off immediately.

The reporting tone and stance of "Midnight Entertainment" are completely opposite to Downey, and they will also dig deep for dirt on Downey.

Susie will act as a liaison between both parties, providing the program crew with first-hand information on Downey's previous three arrests. She will also ask the LAPD to cooperate with the crew and accept condolences from the program crew and the Los Angeles Women's Organization to the female patrol officers.

Both parties have common interests and aspirations.

…………

On the other side, as soon as Hawk saw off the LAPD, the door was knocked again, and he went to open the door.

Frank came uninvited and looked around, quite surprised: "You were not taken away?"

Hoke closed the door: "LAPD is here to seek help, not here. You’re looking for trouble, I didn’t see the good show, I’m disappointed.”

Frank was not polite at all. He opened the refrigerator, took two cans of beer, and threw one to Hawke: "I know your business very well. Everyone is willing to do anything for the so-called freedom of the press. Quite a few people In jail.”

Hawke opened the beer, took a sip, sat on the sofa, and said: "On the contrary, I know how to abide by the law best, so the LAPD asked me for help, so I helped them."

Frank sat elsewhere. On one side, an old-fashioned person said: "You do That's right, don't mess with them casually. To a certain extent, if you mess with one LAPD, you mess with the entire LAPD."

He reminded: "In Los Angeles, the LAPD is the biggest. Gang, Company F BI has to give face to the LAPD. What you are doing now is easy to attract the LAPD."

Hoke listened: "I am just a small person now. I want to make a living in Los Angeles, so of course I won't mess with him. them.”

He was curious: "You claim to be a big shot in Hollywood before. Let me ask you why Robert Downey Jr. was arrested three times by the LAPD a few years ago."

Frank said casually: "It's very simple. Downey messed with one of the LAPD's sponsors, why would he mess with so many drug addicts in Hollywood? So maybe it's that shit in the crotch, man. , Don’t mess with the big shots. The so-called Hollywood stars are just the playthings of the big shots.”

Hoke understands this: “I’m not stupid.”

Frank is very artistic: “I am lonely. , I finally made a new friend, and I don’t want to attend his funeral or visit him in prison one day. "

Hoke directly gave this pretender the middle finger.

After drinking a can of beer, Frank stood up and said goodbye: "Let's go, let's go, go back to sleep, maybe I can meet my celebrity ex-wife in my dream."

Hoke has had enough of this pretentious bastard, Learn from Edward's tone: "This dream must be about your ex-wife and the little male model she kept, loving each other under your wedding photos."

Frank was so angry that he couldn't sleep well for half the night.

At nearly 11 o'clock in the evening, Hawke turned on the TV and switched to channel 11. The "Midnight Entertainment" program was played on time.

Tonight, there is only one content in the program. Robert Downey Jr. was suspected of hiding, transporting and selling drugs. He was suspected of attacking the police with a gun and was shot to death in the street.

The two videos shot by Hawke were played, directly concluding the public opinion.

The media that had expressed sympathy or questioned the LAPD quickly changed their tone, and the mainstream media unanimously criticized Downey.

On the next day, countless dirty facts about Downey were exposed, and Old Downey was no exception.

The Los Angeles Women's Organization came forward, saying that Downey deliberately attacked women and repeatedly claimed that he wanted to kill "her".

Some women were even mobilized to sit in protest in front of Old Downey's house.

Even some insiders in Hollywood have become popular and exposed various unfavorable news about Downey Jr.

Public opinion is completely manipulated.

The dead star was nailed to the pillar of shame.

As a person lives, there are all kinds of public relations possibilities, and there are also scripts for the prodigal son to turn back.

But when people die so cowardly, everything ends there.

Even if Old Downey jumped up and down, he wouldn't be able to stir up much trouble.

He was even targeted by the LAPD. An old drug addict like him is too easy to get caught.

Downey is dead and disgraced!

"Midnight Entertainment" took this as an opportunity to launch several programs about Downey.

Not only did they strip Robert Downey Jr. clean, he also launched a wave of publicity jointly with the LAPD, and the female patrol officer also became a star police officer.
