Chapter 47 Self-produced and self-sold
In mid-April, the temperature in Los Angeles is gradually rising.
On this day, Edward came back from outside, grabbed a bottle of iced Coke, and drank half of the bottle in one breath.
He took out the check from his bag, put it in front of Hawke, and said: "The photos taken last night only sold for 280 US dollars, and they are all here."
Hoke put them Put the check away and continue looking through the personal information provided by Dwayne Johnson.
I was busy with Robert Downey Jr.’s affairs some time ago, so I had to postpone the discussions about movies and personal management with Johnson.
Fortunately, Johnson was busy making promotional announcements for the crew. He was flying around North America during this period and only returned to Los Angeles yesterday.
Edward had nothing to do and went to play with the camera, and kept talking: "Boss, don't you feel that your work has lacked excitement recently?"
Hoke raised his head and asked: "Love is frustrated. ?”
“No.” Edward has learned nothing from Hawke and has enjoyed the exciting work style of bungee jumping. He really has no interest in squatting and taking pictures anymore.
He licked his black lips: "Look, what we did before were big things, and the news we made were all headlines. If we do this kind of news worth one or two hundred dollars, I feel uncomfortable all over."
Hoke asked: "What's the progress on Deborah's side?"
Edward said: "She has been going through Downey's inheritance procedures recently. It's not the right time for me to take action. I want to take care of it. As mentioned last time, she works at a rescue station, no Can you end it right after it starts?"
He said with a thoughtful face: "I have thought carefully about Deborah, being widowed is not my type, so I need to plan carefully. , I plan to take a roundabout way and open a breakthrough through her son. I have already figured out that her son’s name is Indio and he is studying at Brentwood School.”
Hoke had to admire: “You are really a talent. .”
"Boss, hurry up and find big news!" Edward is indeed useless at learning. He feels uncomfortable if he doesn't do anything for a day: "No, no, it's about producing big news."
Hoke closed Johnson's information and said : "There will be one soon."
Edward praised: "Now I understand that valuable news does not happen naturally, but It's produced like ours."
Hoke took out his mobile phone, dialed Johnson's number, waited for the call, and said, "It's me, Hawke Osment, watch the news and you'll reply. "Los Angeles."
Johnson remembered him and said, "I have been busy at this time and I didn't have time to ask. Do you have any idea about the entrustment?"
"I have some ideas that I need to tell you first." Hawke asked: "If you have time, let's talk in person."
Johnson looked at the schedule: "We will meet at Tracy Gym in the afternoon. "
Hoke responded: "Okay. "
Hang up the phone, he thought about it and called Eric again.
Eric was stuck in a bottleneck in his script writing and wanted to relax.
In the afternoon, Hawke arrived at Tracy Gym on time.
He changed his clothes in the locker room and waited for a while before Johnson and Eric came over one after another.
Hoke took a towel and said: "I will do warm-up exercises first and wait for you in the boxing area."
Johnson gave a thumbs up here and entered himself private dressing room.
Eric can only change clothes in the public area.
The door of a private locker room opened at this moment, and a strong white man came out. There were not many people in the locker room at the moment. He saw Eric at a glance, and then turned around unconsciously.
In his eyes, Eric's scattered beard, gloomy eyes, weather-beaten face, and lips soaked in seafood all conveyed a small and artistic temperament.
The white man quickly walked over, put his hand on Eric's shoulder, and said, "Man, I haven't seen you before, are you new here?"
Eric took a step forward and hid. He opened the man's hand, looked at it for a moment, didn't recognize him, and asked: "Who are you?"
The white man smiled: "Miller Collins, the wide receiver of the San Diego Chargers."
"The star of the NFL." Johnson happened to come out of the locker room and shook hands with the white man: "Dwayne Johnson, I've never seen you before."
Miller gently shook Johnson's hand Hand: "I just signed up for membership recently."
He glanced at Eric and said: "Now during the offseason, I am in St. Monica bought a house and lives here temporarily. She can't relax during training. "
Johnson smiled: "I have time to watch your game."
"Thank you." Miller said politely, turned around and walked out. Before leaving the locker room, he turned to look at Johnson. He didn't like the big bulge in his pants.
It was still a little pleasure full of artistic flavor. As soon as he finished muttering in his heart, his wife Maria came over and said: "You are too slow."
Miller went over and kissed his wife and said: "Meet Dawn... Johnson, let’s chat for a while.”
“Your career won’t last long. We move to Los Angeles and we have to plan for the future.” Maria said as she walked: “You are a star player, take advantage of it now. Famous , make more friends with famous people in Los Angeles to pave the way for the future."
Her face was filled with happiness: "Dorothy is growing up, and we also want our daughter to integrate into the upper class society in Los Angeles."
Miller has a big deal: "Don't worry, it's all on me. You forgot, last month Beckham came over, and I used my relationship with him to get acquainted with Tom Cruise." On the other side, Qiang Mori and Eric come to the boxing area.
On the ring, Hawke was sweating profusely, punching out constantly, attacking the opponent's sparring partner.
After a while, he jumped to the rope ring, asked someone to help him take off his gloves, and asked Eric: "Come up for a fight?"
Eric held on. Sen pushed forward: "You fight him."
Hoke said: "I am not in the same weight class as him."
Johnson waved: "Go to the iron."
Hoke opened the rope loop, came out and jumped off the ring, following the two of them.
Eric returned to the topic he had with Johnson: "I don't know why, but I always felt that that person was not normal."
Johnson recalled, shaking his head: "No, I It feels normal.”
Eric couldn’t understand: “That’s weird.”
Hawke asked curiously: "What are you talking about?"
Eric briefly talked about what happened in the locker room and indicated with his eyes: "The handsome young man and beautiful woman walking towards the spinning area, The man is the one I was talking about. "
Hoke took a quick look and found that he looked familiar, and quickly remembered that he had seen this man in the Viper Bar.
The other party was drinking and chatting with Beckham.
Johnson said: "Miller Collins, star wide receiver for the San Diego Chargers."
Hawk gets it, football star.
The three of them went to play iron together.
Eric ran out of energy after a while and went to the rest area by himself.
Hoke and Johnson were sweating profusely. They each completed their plans before wiping their sweat and entering the rest area.
Eric was still breathing heavily: "I found that this place is not suitable for me."
Hawke suggested: "Find a place where we can practice rock climbing and shooting."
Eric complained helplessly: "You are in the media industry and you don't engage in armed robbery..."
< br>Hoke reminded: "You have seen high-end business wars in Park City, and there is no one with a good appearance. How can we win if we don't have a body?"
Eric thought of poor George. Without Hawke, his movie couldn't be released at all, and gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, I will continue next time."
Johnson was curious: “What high-end business war?”
Eric said briefly.
Johnson looked at his thoughts and said: "At the beginning of this month, a film crew held a preview event for the publisher in a small town in New Jersey. There was a sudden power outage. Afterwards, investigation and speculation suggested that it might be a business competitor of the film crew's investor who sabotaged the event. The circuit of that small town."
Eric scolded: "That bastard George opened Pandora's box!"
Hoke took a sip of electrolyte water and spit it into the side. into the trash can without saying a word.
Johnson gave Hawke a thumbs up: "Man, you know how movies work and how to guard against your competitors, that's awesome!"
Huo Kexin said, all of this is produced and sold by myself.
He turned to the topic and said to Johnson: "I thought about the last incident for a long time and made a preliminary plan."
Influenced by Eric and Catherine, Qiang Sen felt that Hawke had outstanding abilities: "That's great!"
Hoke said briefly , directly stated: "I need a little time to work out the details, but we both need to sign an agreement."
"I asked Danni to come over, she is my wife and agent." Johnson specifically commissioned The agency contacted Bedo Blunt, the director and producer of "Invasion".
He, like Eric and Catherine, has nothing but praise for Hawke.
Half an hour later, Johnson’s wife and manager Dany Garcia rushed over.
Eric took the initiative to say goodbye.
Johnson asked for a separate lounge, and the two sides talked in detail for a while.
Subsequently, the two parties came to Johnson's agency and signed a cooperation agreement.
