Chapter 60 We are the rules
Fox Television Center, Channel 11 Director’s Office.
Cynthia Rosberg had a smile on her face and praised Megan Taylor opposite: "The program has done well recently, and the ratings have increased significantly."
Megan knows very well that her boss I won’t specifically call you here to talk about this, but I will remind you: “ The main headlines are exciting enough, and based on this, the program team can make a big splash."
"They have also spent a lot of money recently." Cynthia's words suddenly changed: "I spent 100,000 US dollars on just one purchase last night. A piece of news.”
Meghan was mentally prepared and said directly: "A reporter photographed Sarah Parker and his wife having a threesome with a former male model."
Cynthia said: "Sarah Parker's husband is Bro ·Derek, executive and producer of Akerman Films, I have told you for a long time that all news involving well-known producers must be cautious."
Her words were equally direct: " Take down the news and don’t use it.”
“This news cost 10. With a funding of US$10,000, the program team signed a transfer agreement. "Megan did not want to waste resources and tried to distinguish: "The National Enquirer has previously reported on the Sarah Parker scandal, which involved Bro Derick."< br>
Cynthia waved her hand, and her voice gradually turned harsh: "Do you really don't understand, or do you pretend not to understand? Sarah Parker cheated on her, Bro is a victim, and can show the grace of a man, and this matter is directly involved To him, it will affect his career."
Megan still wanted to talk.
Cynthia raised her hand and stopped her: "Roger Ailes, the chairman of the Fox Television Network, called me personally. Do you understand?"
All Meghan said. My mouth was blocked and I couldn't say a word.
Roger Ailes, Rupert Murdoch’s most trusted person, the Emperor of the Fox Television Network.
Then she realized that this was not only the so-called default rule in the industry, but also related to other aspects.
Most of the top executives at Fox Network are Jewish, and so is Bro Derick.
Meghan knew very well how powerful the media and entertainment circles were and could not compete with them. She stood up in silence and prepared to leave.
Cynthia said at this time: "The news is sealed and must not be leaked! Tell the person who provided the video that you can take the money, but watch your mouth and hands."
Meghan first Once you hear it, you will understand that the information provided by the news provider has also been leaked, saying Said: "The Press Act clearly stipulates that news sources must not be leaked, and those who provide news are protected. This is the basic principle of press freedom."
Cynthia said: "You still don't understand, dear, we are the rules .”
Megan knows that this "we" does not refer to her and Cynthia.
Cynthia urged: "Hurry up and do it."
Meghan left the office and returned to the show crew, and then said to Claire: "Let everyone have a meeting."
A few Minutes later, the conference room was packed with people from the program team.
"Sanpimen News is canceled and sealed." Megan is the anchor and producer. She looked at a man with a big nose: "Abraham Adler, tell me, why?" ”
Here's one of the people who watched the video last night, he took his time: "I don't want the show to be in crisis."
Meghan also has a tough side: "Okay, you pack your things and leave me "Where do you want to go next?"
Others looked at Abraham with anger, contempt, and disdain.
Traitors and informers are not welcome anywhere.
Abraham went to pack his personal belongings, but he was not worried. Jews always have their advantages in this industry.
Last night, he determined that Jewish producer Bro Derick was about to be exposed in a scandal, and immediately contacted the teacher.
Jews inside and outside the industry have a certain tacit understanding. As long as they don’t go too far, they will look after each other.
A star and poisonous insect like Downey has little weight.
But Bro Derek has certain resources, far beyond what Downey can match.
After Megan finished killing the chicken to scare the monkeys, she said: "Claire, you and Molly will supervise the destruction of the video and give me the storage disk."
Someone brought the storage disk. Such videos are strictly controlled internally, and there are only two backups, all of which are destroyed.
Megan took the storage disk to the storage center, followed internal procedures, attached the corresponding label, and was placed in the Fox security vault for storage.
These will become resources controlled by Fox.
Meghan stood in front of the window, looking at the entire Century City. She took out her mobile phone, found the Hawk phone number, and dialed: "Do you have time? Come out for a cup of coffee, I'll treat you."
Half an hour later, Megan came to Westwood District from Century City and met Hawke who had just come from the gym in a coffee shop.
Hoke ordered coffee and was very curious: "What do you want from me? Is there something wrong with the video?"
"Yes, the news encountered an unexpected situation." Megan said directly: "Roger ·Ayers pressured my boss, the story was taken down , the video is archived."
She asked: "Do you know who Roger Ailes is?"
"Yes, the boss of the Fox Television Network." Hawke was a little surprised. But not big, after all Broderick is not a star.
His first concern was not these: "Meghan, I signed a copyright transfer agreement with the program team, and there is no way I can pay back the $100,000."
Megan glanced at him: "You don't have to pay it back. I'm here to inform you about this, but I also want to remind you that if you still have copies in your hands, don't leak them. This matter involves Jewish forces in Hollywood and the media, which is far more troublesome than you think."
Hoke nodded: "Media The Jewish power in the industry sounds very scary.”
The other party is an excellent headline news producer. Meghan does not want to lose it so soon. She solemnly said: “They think they are the principles, so they don’t need to follow the principles. , those people ignored the press act, and your information was leaked. They may come to you next and warn you, you should be careful."
Hoke put his hand across his neck: "Similar to this? ”
"No." Megan waved her hand: "Bro Derek doesn't have that much weight. He is just a middle-to-lower-scale film company executive and producer. It's just that those people are used to sticking together, and... …”
She wanted to say she was being persecuted, but the person opposite her had too low a baseline, so she quickly changed her words: “Protect the interests of the entire group.”
Hoke said: "I understand." He smiled: "Thank you for reminding me."
Meghan waved her hand: "It's a small matter."
"It seems that you have also been warned." Hawke could hear the dissatisfaction in her words and said, "Would it be in trouble for you if the video leaked?"
Megan forced a smile: "I may lose my job."
The other party pretended to care about him. Hawke followed suit and assured: "Don't worry, I am a principled person. From now on Once you get $100,000 in your hand, you will be responsible for it and will never let the video leak again. ."
What Meghan could say was to accept the sentiment as Hawke did just now: "Thank you."
Hawk took the initiative to say goodbye: "It's time for me to leave. Go to work.”
Megan said she wanted to treat her and paid for the tip and coffee.
Hawke went out and drove away, turned onto Santa Monica Boulevard, and found a quiet place to park.
He thought carefully about today's incident. There was no need for Meghan to lie about this kind of thing. Then the information about him as a news provider must have been leaked. Bro Derick must have known that the person who took his video His name is Hawk Osmond.
It won’t be long before someone comes to remind him or warn him.
Of course, well-known Hollywood producers will never meet a paparazzi in their eyes.
Hoke doesn’t like to suffer passively. Since it is unavoidable, why not be more proactive.
Sarah Parker's public relations manager was an acquaintance of his.
Hoke thought about it for a while, took out his mobile phone and found Caroline Jones's number, called it, waited for the call, and said: "Miss Me, there is something I want to talk to you about. , if you have time, how about we find a private pool and swim and chat together”
