Chapter 73 The Executioner
In West Hollywood, Eric Eason’s personal studio is about to be established.
Hoke and Edward came over early to help.
The house was rented when we were recruiting actors. It is a two-story building with a yard.
Hoke took Edward to decorate the largest conference room so that they could hold a small celebration party after the listing.
Eric went out shopping, and when he came back, his car was parked by the door.
He got out of the car and went to get something from the trunk, when a beautiful woman suddenly came next to him.
Maria Collins walked over very quickly and with great momentum, and said loudly: "Eric Ethan, you have ruined my life."
Eric Taking a step back subconsciously, he recognized the person who came, Miller Collins's wife.
Maria was angry and slightly crazy, and asked loudly: "Why did you do this? Why?"
Many pedestrians around looked here. Eric didn't want people to know that he was being harassed by a man. He pointed to the door of the yard and said bravely: "Let's go in and talk. Go in and talk."
Maria She followed him into the courtyard, her eyes red.
Her husband's career suffered a major setback, and he will face a series of difficulties in the future. She will also be ridiculed by the media and many people around her, and she will be embarrassed across the United States.
Maria found out the name Eric Ethan from Henry, searched for job postings based on the name, and found the studio based on the address.
Entering the yard and before reaching the door of the house, Maria could no longer bear it and said to Eric: "Executioner! You executioner! I originally had a husband who loved me and a lively and cheerful child. A happy family, now it’s all ruined by you!”
Hearing the sounds in the yard, Hawke and Edward left the conference room and walked quickly this way.
Maria still stood on the moral high ground and accused Eric: "You are an executioner who destroys other people's families. You are about to kill a woman and a child less than 10 years old!"
"No, that's not what happened." Eric argued: "This is not what you think..."
Mary Ya spoke much faster than him, and from the standpoint of the so-called victim, he was more powerful: "Do you know how my daughter lived in school? All her classmates were laughing at her, and she was forced to be alone Hiding in the bathroom, she is still a girl under ten years old!"
She roared: "It's all your fault!"
"No, these are all caused by your husband!" Hawke came here quickly and took the initiative: "If your husband was loyal to your marriage and family, there would be no such thing."
No. Are you just criticizing others from the moral high ground?
Hoke's words were like a barrage of words, each blow hitting the vital point: "In the past few years, have there always been some brown-haired, long-faced, and tall men around your husband?"
< br>Maria thought of her husband getting married from time to time The male friends I made suddenly lost their momentum: "No, no, he promised me, this is the first time he has made a mistake, this is just the first time, just out of curiosity..."
Hoke sneered: "Confirmation is easy."
Maria suddenly felt like vomiting and retched several times in succession.
Hoke's words became unhurried: "You and your children are the victims? What a big joke. Where were you when my friend was harassed and slandered by your husband? He was harassed by you "Where were you when your husband called the police and was arrested?"
Maria remembered that she had met Eric Eason before, and Miller looked at him with a strange look.
At the premiere of "The Scorpion King", Miller even kicked the opponent under his seat.
Maria squatted down, too uncomfortable to stand up.
Hawke thought of the four El Chapo gang members sent by Miller, and said: "I'll give you a suggestion. Find a lawyer as soon as possible to file for divorce. Miller Collins has been terminated by a number of endorsement brands and is about to face a breach of contract lawsuit. If he really wants to lose the lawsuit, How much of your property is left?"
His words hit home the most painful part: "Don't forget, you still have a daughter. Without property, can she still receive an elite education? Do you want your daughter to live on the streets?"
Maria She is a wife and a mother, as if she was awakened all of a sudden.
She stood up in a hurry, and all the discomfort disappeared instantly. She glanced at Hawke, turned around and walked back without saying another word.
Before calling for divorce, it was more of a talk, but Maria no longer talks about it, but wants a real divorce.
As for Miller Collins, that bastard who cheated on other men, Maria felt sick just thinking about it, so go to hell with him!
In the yard, Eric looked ashamed and said to Hawke: "I'm not very good at arguing with people."
Hoke smiled: "Everyone is good at something. , and some are not good at it.”
Edward held a hand. He was typing quickly on his machine, and he did not forget to say: "For example, our boss is good at sharpening guns, but not good at using them in actual combat."
Hoke turned around, ready to kick him, and found that he While typing, asked: "What are you doing?"
Edward pointed at the disappearing figure: "She has a daughter who is about to be divorced and will receive a large amount of property. Of course I have to put it on the reserve list." Hawke was speechless: "You are really a talent." He reminded : "You haven't even managed Deborah yet."
"Nicole and I are in a passionate relationship, and our relationship is temporarily stable. "You can't do such immoral things." Edward said plausibly: "When I break up with Nicole, I will launch an offensive against Deborah. This can be used as a backup."
Eric was just about to ask Edward for advice when Catherine came in from the outside. He quickly straightened his face and greeted her with a bright smile.
The two men kissed passionately.
The opening ceremony of Ethan Film Studio was held on time.
In addition to Hawke, Edward and Catherine, Eric also invited Dwayne Johnson and Dany Garcia.
The latter called Caroline Jones again.
The ceremony was very simple. After the ceremony, everyone came to the conference room and gathered together to eat, drink and chat.
Eric answered the phone, found Hawke, and whispered: "Kevin Lee asked me about the character, and I think the promise should be kept."
Hawke doesn't understand film production and won't interfere in this: "If you think he can do it, just keep using it."
Johnson came over at this time and wanted to have a drink with Hawke.
Hoke clinked glasses with him and said: "Congratulations, the North American box office of "The Scorpion King" is about to exceed 100 million."
"Thank you, you have been a great help." Johnson smiled Be grinning from ear to ear, don't make your start in Hollywood too successful.
A few people chatted for a while, and Hawke saw Caroline going out alone. After waiting for a while, he also went out.
He walked out of the conference room just as Caroline came from the bathroom.
Hoke wanted to find out the latest situation of Sarah Parker and Bro Derek from her, and said: "Miss Baa, let's chat for a few words."
Caroline stretched out a With his hand, he pointed at his Chanel, and then at Hawke Pingping. Unpretentious casual wear: "High-level people charge for chatting with country bumpkins."
Hoke took out five dollars from his wallet and put it in her hand: "It's five dollars for chatting."
He pushed open the door to the office next to him and walked in first.
Caroline curled her lips slightly, folded up five dollars, stuffed it into her handbag, entered the office as well, closed the door, and said: "The recent big news about the Milk Gate, was it you who did it?"
Hawke asked: "How do you know."
Caroline pulled up a chair and sat down: "Many people on Fox TV are saying that Meagan Taylor is so popular now because of West Coast Entertainment. The studio supports it.”
Hoke remembered the last time he saw her at Fox: "I met you in the elevator of the Fox Building a few days ago taking two clients to participate in a talk show. Did it go well?"
"I'm here. , Of course it went well." Caroline raised her small chin: "I helped them contact People magazine. When their baby is born, People magazine will buy the exclusive copyright of the baby photos for a high price of 1.5 million US dollars. ”
Hawke has seen this kind of operation before. He remembers that the rights to the photos of Jolie and Pitt's first child, which appeared in newspapers for the first time after birth, were sold for millions of dollars.
He was curious: "What do your two clients do, and why don't I recognize them?"
Caroline looked at him as if he were an alien: "You don't even know Los Angeles Dodgers star Steve Nutter, his wife Daisy Nutter is also a famous model Specially, the media calls them the Beckhams and Victorias of America."
Hoke understood and said, "I don't watch baseball very much."
Caroline took the opportunity to mock: "Almost. Forget, you're a sheepherder from Wyoming."
Hawke's reply was simple and effective. He took out his mobile phone, turned on the speaker, and played the recording Edward sent him: "Baa, baa, baa..."
The voice was clear and tactful, like a woman's call.
Caroline's face was so black that she could drip water: "You bastard, I'm going to kill you!"
Hoke poured her a glass of water and said, "Drink some cold water. "Calm down."
Caroline said: "Delete the recording!"
Hawke pressed his fingers randomly on the phone: "Delete."
He returned to business: "Stop mocking and talk about work. The plan I gave you last time was adopted by Sarah. "
Caroline looked much better: "How much does it cost? After learning some about it, I helped Sarah contact several brands such as Estee Lauder and Lancôme. We are currently negotiating for the endorsement of skin care products, and the hope of success is great. ”
