In Westwood District, in a newly renovated mansion.
Dwayne Johnson was sitting on the big sofa in the bedroom, watching TV attentively.
Dani Garcia came out of the dressing room with her hair dry and watched the gossip show with Johnson.
After watching it for a while, Johnson couldn't help but admire: "Steve Nutt is really amazing."
According to the One Drop of Blood principle, he is also a black man: "If it were me, I would never be able to do this. The Dodgers' cohesion will definitely be particularly strong in the future."
Dani smiled: "What you see may not be Really."

"Does what the reporters secretly photographed have to be true?" Dani reminded in a more serious tone." You forgot, we were also secretly photographed last month."
Johnson slapped his forehead in surprise: "You mean..."
Dani took over: "During the day, Steve Nutt's agent called me to verify whether Hawke had cooperated with us. I said a few good words to Hawke. After all, this person is extraordinary. As a result, Not even a day has passed before Steve Nutt revealed such shocking information. "It must have something to do with Hawke." Johnson was absolutely sure: "He used it very well last time." Conventional means."
Danni said: "Unconventional, but the effect is very good, even you believe it is true."
Johnson praised: "This guy has too many tricks. Who would have thought that the secretly photographed stuff would be fake?"
Danni thought about it and said, "This is taking advantage of the media and the public's psychology."
"I'll give Joanna a call." Johnson found his cell phone, dialed his friend's number, and said, "You should watch channel 11 right away. Yes, there is news about Steve Nutt and his wife. Remember last time I The friend who introduced her to you? Yes, it’s related to that person.”

Joanna attaches great importance to it: "Thank you. , I will definitely contact him when needed."
Johnson said: "Let Alison watch the program on Channel 11 together."
"She's not here." There was a hint of helplessness in Joanna's tone: "I haven't come back from a date yet."
Johnson has a very good personal relationship with her and reminded: "Restrain Alison, she is about to It’s easy to have problems when you release a new album.”
Joanna said: “I’ll try my best.”
< br>Dani waited for Johnson to hang up the phone and said: "You are so enthusiastic, how can you get a commission from Hawke?"
Johnson said: "I have known Joe since I was a teenager. Of course I should help if I can. Alison is a has-been child star. It’s too difficult to become popular. What are the chances of using conventional methods of publicity?”
"Okay, don't talk about this." Dani sat on him: "Big guy, let me see your little cutie."

Beverly Villa, Four Seasons Hotel.
A grand party in Hollywood ended. Waddell, the deputy editor-in-chief of People, came out of the hotel and got into the commercial vehicle at the door.
The car started, and the assistant on the co-pilot said quickly: "Boss, the just-concluded "Midnight Entertainment" program exposed Steve Nutt's shocking news that the father of his and Daisy's child is actually It’s black teammate Wilson..."
Waddell's surprise interrupted the assistant's words: "What?"
"The content exposed in the program is this..." The assistant spoke in detail, and finally said emphatically: "Megan Taylor connected to Dodge via video Several black players on the team, those people have been Tiff was so moved that he made a voice call to Seth Sco, the black leader of the NAACP, who highly praised Steve and called him a true hero."
Waddell smelled the hot news and told the driver: "Return to the editor Department." He then said to his assistant: "Summon the first editorial team and arrive at the editorial office within half an hour." He took out his mobile phone and called Steve's public relations manager, Caroline. , asked: "What happened to the "Midnight Entertainment" revelations?"
The sound of a car horn was heard over there, followed by Caroline's voice: "I'm rushing to St. Joseph's Hospital. I just called Steve and his agent Byers. Wilson will indeed go there in the afternoon. After passing the hospital, Steve also talked to him.”
Waddell asked the key: "What happened to the in vitro fertilization."
Caroline was already prepared and threw a mountain directly: "I asked, Steve said that fans and professional games once Racial discrimination has occurred several times, especially in the Boston incident last year, when extreme fans of the Red Sox attacked the hotel in front of the hotel. He made such a move publicly, but Boston was indifferent, which made him determined to fight discrimination in his own way."
Waddell didn't know what to say for a moment, no matter what he said in private! I think, but there are some things you cannot say, otherwise you will face huge trouble.

…………
St. Joseph’s Hospital, in the parking lot. Caroline got out of the red Mercedes-Benz, looked at Hawke who was standing beside the car, and said, "It's done. People's position is pretty much what we expected, but Waddell wants to get the photos as soon as possible."
< br>
Hawke walked towards the ward floor: "You are responsible for communicating with Steve and his wife and the hospital."
After Caroline walked a few steps, her phone rang. After she answered the call, she said: "Yes, I am now Just arrived at St. Joseph's Hospital. Please see tomorrow's announcement for details."
Hoke asked: "The media called."
"Yes." Caroline just responded. The phone rang again, it was still the media calling.
For more than an hour after that, her phone kept coming, and various media outlets were frantically asking about the specific situation.
In terms of traditional media, Hawke wanted to hear Caroline's opinion: "What do you think?"
Caroline said: "Let the news ferment overnight, Steve will definitely appear on many entertainment and sports media tomorrow headlines, let him respond then."
Hawk thought for a moment: "Okay."
The two returned to the temporary office, and Steve came up to bump fists with Hawke. .
All the anger and depression he felt in the afternoon disappeared, and he said happily: "Man, you are so powerful, you can easily control public opinion."
Hawke reminded: "This is a critical moment, you must pay attention to your words and deeds."
Steve responded repeatedly, and said: "My teammates and the team manager called me just now, and I will ask for help tomorrow morning. Come here."
"Very good," said Hawke: "You have touched the whole team, and then the whole of California and the United States."
Steve laughed.
Hoke said to Caroline: "Find a news source and inform the media that the Dodgers will come to visit Steve and Daisy tomorrow morning."
Caroline took out her cell phone and called another assistant who stayed in Los Angeles.
Sasha, who had fallen asleep, had to get up, find a spare mobile phone, and call the media.
This night, reporters from many newspapers and magazines such as the Los Angeles Times, Sports Illustrated, The Sporting News, and the National Enquirer received news that the Los Angeles Dodgers will collectively go to St. Joseph's Hospital tomorrow. , standing up for Steve Nutt and his wife.

Others were resting one after another, and Hawke had been checking the public opinion trends on the Internet.
Steve's news has become a trending headline.
With the banner of anti-discrimination raised, the stance of the mainstream media is very clear.
Hoke found Caroline: "You stay up all night and write a speech for Steve."
Caroline stretched: "Hillbilly, 1 in the morning "It's time, aren't you going to let me sleep?"
Hoke said, "I'll stay up late with you."
Caroline took paper and pen and sat at the table: "Theme?"
Hoke had been thinking about it for a while: "Steve and his black son, talking about the original intention of doing in vitro fertilization, expressing His anti-discrimination attitude and stance, as well as his pride and pride in having a black son, call on America to pay attention to black people.”
Caroline couldn’t help but tremble at the corner of her mouth, and wrote the title on the paper: Me and Me. black son.
This manuscript took two hours to write. During this period, Hawke reviewed it several times and asked Caroline to make revisions. He continued to work on it until about three o'clock in the morning.
The other rooms were all occupied. After reading the manuscript, Hawke sat on the couch and prepared to squint for a while.
Caroline was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes, so she came over and sat next to him, pressed his shoulder hard, and said, "Borrow it for a while."
Hoke closed his eyes: "Whatever, Miss Me, I'll do it early." I told you, I will cooperate with you no matter what you want."
Caroline leaned on him: "Get a little sleep, country boy, I'm telling you, don't move around, I have an electric baton."
Hoke replied casually: "I'm not interested in the ewes."
< br>Caroline did not respond, and fell asleep quickly, still talking in her sleep: "Baa! Baa——"
