Chapter 53 Stars and Crime
In the reception room of Channel 11, Fox Television Center.
Hoke turned the laptop screen, pushed it in front of Megan Taylor, and said: "My news informant found the girl who was saved by Dwayne Johnson. The girl wanted to express her gratitude to Johnson publicly and recorded it specially. "
What Megan saw was a confused face: "No original version?"
Hoke shook his head: "She wants to maintain a peaceful life and not want to be exposed to the media. Excuse me.”
Meghan crossed her arms, patted her left arm gently with her right hand, and said seductively: "The price is different between showing your face and not showing your face. There is a big difference."
Hoke spread his hands: "I can't let you. The show infringed on the right of portrait, so you will be sued?”
Meghan said: “Don’t worry, we have the most professional legal system. "I can't help it, the other party really doesn't want to be disturbed," Hawke asked instead, "Can the video make headlines?"
Megan thought for a moment: " The video is not consistent with the theme raised by the program. I will reserve some time after the headlines.”
"I watched your program yesterday." Hockto said: "Crime is spreading to the wealthy areas of the western suburbs. It's a great theme, but it feels more suitable for social news."
Meghan is very ambitious. : "Hollywood stars and criminal groups, this aspect has higher news value. You can actually continue to follow the news about Robert Downey Jr., such as who is the drug dealer he dealt with, whether he has any dealings with other Hollywood stars, and whether he has developed any a huge It is said that there are some mysterious organizations within Hollywood..."
Hoke interrupted her: "I just want to make money, not risk my life."
Megan stared at Huo. Hawk watched for a while and still said: "Pay attention to the news in this area. If it can be photographed, the program team will pay a high price to buy it."
"It depends on luck." Hawke took the photo provided by Channel 11 Storage disk, transfer videos externally.
The two then agreed on the price. This was just a derivative news, and the protagonist was still embarrassed. It was only US$2,000.
Meghan took the storage disk and was about to leave. Before leaving, she suddenly said: "If you can still find a Hollywood star to cooperate in producing this kind of news, feel free to get it."
Yesterday's Hero Saving the beauty, today's rescued person was thanking him, it was a news video brought by the same person, so she would naturally associate it with it.
Hoke was not surprised that the other party could see through: "As long as your bid is appropriate."
Meghan said again: "Don't forget my celebrities and crime news."

Hawke suddenly thought of something. The rumor spread to the closing of the Sundance Film Festival that Verona Ryder had stolen all the nuclear keys.
He quickly searched it on his notebook. The rumors spread to the Internet, but no one had taken any photos for the time being.
According to online news, since January, Verona Ryder has been followed by a bunch of paparazzi wherever she goes.
The competition is too fierce, and Hawke is not going to join in the fun.
He signed the agreement, received the $2,000 check, and went back downstairs to his car.
Dany Garcia called at this time and asked about the situation here. Hawke said it quickly.
The acknowledgment video broadcast tonight will continue the popularity of the news, and will then be connected to Johnson's talk show, allowing the topic to continue until the release of "The Scorpion King".
Hoke then went to the accounting firm recommended by Johnson. Tax season had arrived.
Taxation in the United States is complicated and most people don’t understand it at all.
In addition, the IRS has a bad reputation, and defaulting on taxes is definitely not an option.
Hawke came out of the accounting office and received a call from Edward.
This guy yelled: "Boss, I received a call from the informant. Britney and her father were arguing in the street. I am rushing over!"
Hoke headed towards the car. Ran: "Where?"
Edward said: "Beverlywood, West Olympic Avenue."
Hoke put down his cell phone and drove towards that direction.
He was a little far away, and when he arrived, the street was full of reporters with cameras or video cameras, at least there were more than thirty people. As for Britney and her daughter, they have already boarded the nanny van.
There are still a large number of paparazzi blocking the car outside to take pictures.
Exclusively, there was no need to think about it. Hawk simply didn’t join the crowd. He got out of the car and jumped onto the flower bed on the roadside. He looked over at the car and saw only black heads.
A guy with a camera came over from the crowd and spotted Hawke standing at a high place. He walked over and said, "Man, you are late and you can't eat hot food."
Hawke lowered his head and found that it was the reporter he met at the scene of Robert Downey Jr., and asked tentatively: "Daniel Richard?"
"It's me." Daniel came to Hawke's side, Said: "I forgot to ask you your name last time."
Hoke came down from the flower bed and said to himself Introduction: "Hawk Osmond."
Daniel nodded and said with a smile: "I came here the earliest today, and the things I took can sell for at least 5,000 US dollars!"
He waved Waving his hands: "Man, I won't talk to you anymore, I'm going to make money."
Hawke could hear the showiness in it, maybe it was a riposte to the last time.
Edward emerged from the crowd, glanced around, and quickly found Hawke.
His dark face was covered with sweat and he said: "It's too scary. Everyone is like crazy. They are completely without the grace and ease when we were shooting. They are completely crazy."
Hawke asked: "What was photographed?"
Edward shook his head: "When I came over, the argument between Britney and her father had ended, and the two were getting into the car one after another, and the photos were taken , the value is not high.”
Hawke took the camera, flipped it through and said, "It's of no value, go back."
There were too many reporters, and such photos couldn't be sold at a high price.
Edward got into the second-hand business car, followed Hawke, and returned to the studio together.
Hoke took out two bottles of water, threw one to Edward, and asked: "Did the informant call?"
Edward drank half a bottle of water and said: "The informant found out By that time, there were already reporters taking pictures, so it was actually too late when I got there.”
The boss was a nice guy and introduced him to a wealthy divorced woman. Edward was very considerate of his boss: "I made this trip and lost gas and 20 US dollars in informant fees. I made nothing."
Huo Ke was open-minded: "It's business. There are always losses and gains.”
Edward felt like he was in a war today. He was crowded among a large number of reporters and paparazzi, and his head was bubbling. He had a rare flash of inspiration: “We took a lot of news clues provided by informants. times, you can really grab the exclusive There is no news. It seems unreliable to rely on informants to provide news."
Hoke said directly: "The highest price for the news provided by the informants was 280 US dollars. That time you took the photo." >
Edward began to calculate in his mind. After calculating for a long time, he couldn't figure it out clearly. He simply said: "You can't make much money in a month just by relying on informants. It's about the same as a wage earner. It's better to be a professional divorcee and raise a child." ”
His eyes were empty: "Although that would be a bit tiring, the most you can do is lie down and be squeezed..."
Hoke said: "Developing news informants from ordinary people is actually a matter of luck. How can you get lucky? Good, you can get big news.”
“God never favors black people.” Edward has made money recently and feels confident when picking up girls: “Boss, I rely on news informants. clue It’s unreliable. We still have to produce news and sell it ourselves.”
Hoke fully agreed: “This kind of thing is also a matter of chance.” He took out an invitation letter: “ I can bring one person with me to the premiere of "The Scorpion King." >
Hawke easily handled him: "I'm lucky to meet a Hollywood female star who is divorced and has a baby."
Edward looked serious: "Boss, I think you need someone to carry the bag."
>Hoke said seriously: "You You also need to learn more, at least be able to calculate correctly, and the studio will not just stop at producing news."
Edward sat slumped: "Kill me."
