Chapter 80 Seducing people into depravity (please subscribe)
What should I do if a freelance reporter’s candid photos are not effective? Hawke would tell him, let the stars come back and we can do another candid shot.
Under his command, Steve and Wilson went upstairs and downstairs, entered the coffee shop to chat, and Edward took the second shot.
Everyone returned to the temporary office, and Edward transferred the video to his laptop and made a copy immediately.
Hoke came to the laptop and clicked on two videos to play.
Several people stood behind him and watched.
Even Daisy was in a wheelchair and was pushed over by Amanda.
After all the videos were played, Hawke asked directly: "Which one do you think is better?"
Caroline was the first to say: "The second shot was better, completely. "
Manager Byers agreed: "If I didn't know it in advance, I definitely think it was a candid shot."
Others echoed.
Hoke replayed the video taken for the second time and reviewed it again.
Steve whispered: "I did a good job, hey... you guys think, when I retire, can I learn from The Simpsons and enter the entertainment industry."
Daisy exploded. Mao: "What, do you want to learn from Simpson's murder of his wife?"
Steve shut up and stopped talking. As for what was going on in his head, others didn't know.
Hawke put away the notebook, handed it to Edward, and said to Caroline: "I'll leave it to you here."
Caroline nodded slightly.
Hawk asked Edward to drive back to Los Angeles.
On the way, he called Megan Taylor: "We just got some big news."
Megan didn't have any nonsense: "You come to my office."
< br>
When the car arrived at the Fox Building, Hawke went upstairs with his laptop and knocked on Meghan's office door without saying hello to others.
Meghan was waiting for him, and quickly opened the door to let him in, and asked: "Can you make headlines?"
Hoke came to the reception area, sat on the sofa and opened his laptop: "Breaking news at the level of $150,000."
Meghan sat next to him, staring at the computer screen.
Hoke clicked on the video, and the shaking oval picture was obviously taken from a candid shot. The camera always followed a figure.
Megan quickly recognized: "Steve Nutter of the Los Angeles Dodgers?"
Hoke said: "That's him."
Meghan immediately reacted: "Today There was a report in the newspaper that his wife Daisy was about to give birth, and you wouldn't take the photo It’s the baby, right?”
Hoke said casually: “I have bottom lines and principles in doing things. How could I take baby photos without the consent of the guardian?”
Meghan couldn’t help but turn her head and look. I glanced at him, but was quickly attracted by the video.
The camera entered the coffee shop and focused on the table where Steve was sitting. Another bald black man appeared on the screen.
When the two people spoke, their voices were not particularly clear, but they could be distinguished.
Meghan quickly captured the key point of the conversation between the two: Steve Nutt and Daisy Nutt’s newborn was an in vitro fertilization, in which the male’s genetic material came from a bald black man. , that is, Steve's teammate Wilson.
This news is definitely explosive, but the subsequent conversation between the two made Megan feel even more explosive.
Steve used Wilson's genetic material. In addition to his own reasons, he also encountered various discriminations time and time again because of many black teammates, including Wilson.
The Dodgers star wants to use this method to support his teammates and fight against the lingering shadow of discrimination in the sports world.
After the video was played, Megan said nothing, took the mouse from Hawke's hand, and played it again.
As in the past, she will pause when encountering key points, and sometimes drag it back to replay.
Hoke waited for her to finish reading and said: "150,000 US dollars, absolutely worth it."
"It is indeed worth it." Megan turned to stare at him: "There is no artificial design Traces, but I understand your style, why is Steve Nutt so cooperative?”
Hawke said calmly: "Daisy gave birth to a black child. According to her, the father is Steve's teammate Wilson."
Meghan immediately wanted to understand: "Your business has been upgraded. The Nuts are doing public relations?"
Hoke did not admit or deny it, but said: "You have always wanted to sublimate the social depth of entertainment news, and I designed this news specifically for you."< br> "Do I want to thank you properly?" Megan didn't need Hawke to answer, and said: "A famous star couple gave birth to a child, but the father of the child is a black friend. The gossip topics are full of topics; there is a sudden turning point in the middle, and the protagonist is being ridiculed Showing the brilliance of human nature, the main words and actions are unexpected; in the end, it rises to the level of social issues. "
Hoke admitted: "The summary is very good."
Meghan asked curiously: "Which university did you graduate from? Who is your mentor?"
Hoke is super thick-skinned: "Self-taught."
This is indeed the news Meghan wants. , even though she knew that the news was artificially created by the assholes around her, Megan still didn’t want to give up.
Hoke guessed what she was thinking: "All the pictures and sounds are real, these are real events."
He contacted Megan several times to understand what she wanted What you want: "This incident can trigger a wave of public opinion. You can report it continuously, including inviting the Steves and Wilson to your show together."
Megan suddenly reached out and grabbed Hawke's arm: "You are Mephisto, who specializes in seducing people into corruption." She no longer hesitated: "You didn't mention that to me. The video I saw is what I know, 15 Ten thousand dollars, I want the video.”

Hoke made a new request: "Join the West Coast Media and Entertainment Studio."
Megan pondered for a moment: "Yes."
Hoke stretched out his hand: " A pleasure to work with.”
Megan shook his hand and made a new request: "You attend the program team meeting. If you have new ideas, you can add them."
Hoke responded: "No problem."
< br>Megan stood up and came to the desk, picked up the phone, and said: "Claire, come to my office with the storage disk and copyright transfer agreement, and have someone prepare a check for $150,000. In addition, notify the heads of each department, ten minutes Meeting later.”
Claire came to the office soon.
Hoke copied the video and reviewed the agreement for signing.
Ten minutes later, he followed Claire into the program team conference room and found a seat in the most inconspicuous corner.
After the video was played, the conference room was silent. None of the people present were newcomers, and they realized the potential huge value of this news.
The program team is what Megan said: "All other news tonight has been removed, and only videos and related content will be made. Now I assign tasks and the people assigned will execute them immediately."
She said quickly: "Claire, contact the Dodgers. You immediately take a broadcast truck to the team and find the team manager or player, preferably a black person. I will be connected live when the show is broadcast."
Claire called a photographer and immediately left the conference room.
Megan added: "Alexander, lead your people to search the Fox database and find out all the cases involving racial discrimination in the Dodgers and MLB in the past three years, as well as other cases in professional sports leagues. I need the most typical and widely known cases." A few, preferably a video.”
A middle-aged man left.
Meghan looked at a bald head: "Bill, you contact the NAACP, and I will connect with their black opinion leaders during the show."
The bald head almost ran Out of the conference room.
Meghan said to a man with glasses again: "Stephen, a copy that turns from sports gossip to racial discrimination, you start writing it immediately. I need to see the first draft in two hours."
She turned her eyes to Hawke in the corner: "What about you? What do you have to say."
Everyone on the program team basically knew who Hawke was. It was surprising enough that Megan asked him to participate in the meeting. Also asked for his opinion.
"Tell me briefly about in vitro fertilization." This was what Hawke thought of from Edward: "Many people don't understand."
Meghan nodded slightly and said to the person on the left : "You go and collect relevant information."
The meeting ended quickly and the program team became busy.
Hawke went to collect the check, said hello to Megan, and asked Edward to drive back to Orange County.
Before 11pm, everyone gathered in the temporary office to watch "Midnight Entertainment".
Thanks to the super high ratings brought by Miller Collins' Breast Drinking Gate, many viewers across the United States are paying attention to this program.
Especially in the greater Los Angeles area, once the video was played, it had an explosive effect.
The wife of an ordinary Dodgers fan saw the show and rushed into the bathroom and shouted: "Oh God, Steve Nutt's child is not his biological child. He used the genetic material of teammate Wilson to create the child." Daisy’s in vitro fertilization”
The husband who was taking a shower didn't believe it: "Is it fake? Celebrities often say inappropriate things..."
"It's definitely not fake." The wife was convinced: "Steve and Wilson talked about this During the incident, the reporter secretly filmed it!”
The bathroom door creaked open, and the husband ran out wearing a bath towel and stood watching on the TV. : "It was really secretly photographed. It must be true. God, this is so crazy. Are Steve and Wilson crazy?"
The phone rang at this time, but it was the same fan. A friend from the organization called, and the other person asked: "Have you seen the news about Steve?"
The husband said: "Yes."
"It's so explosive!" The man had no doubt about the authenticity of the video: "Well, the latest part, it turns out that things are not what we thought, Steve is for the team!"
At the same time, , many black players of the Dodgers were temporarily called to the club by the team's black manager, and watched "Midnight Entertainment" together with Claire and the photographer in a conference room.
Their emotions were like riding a roller coaster, from surprise at the beginning, to anger at the discrimination in sports venues, to shock at Steve's remarks.
“If a pure white family like Daisy and I can raise a black child and set an example, it may be able to help you!”
In the secretly filmed video, Steve The husband's words were noisy, but they fell into the ears of every black person present.
The black manager was okay and remained calm.
But those black players are prone to being passionate. When the star player said this, they were so excited that they couldn't help themselves.
Two of them even shed tears on the spot.
The tallest black man said: "It turns out that Steve's words were not just words, but real actions."
The cameraman had already turned on the camera lens and captured the video. This scene.
The video link of "Midnight Entertainment" is here.
These moved black people all appeared on the TV screen.
The team manager was very satisfied with this, and the team's reputation skyrocketed.
