Chapter 93 We teach the audience to read the news
In the business car, Hawke threw the van key to Da Chou, took out a stack of cash from his bag, divided it into three equal parts, and gave them to Qi Chou and the other three people. Group.
The second ugly man has the most flexible hands and counts the amount quickly. He has 500 US dollars.
The three guys all smiled crookedly.
Hoke said: "Old rules."
Big Chou quickly promised: "We will keep our mouths shut. We went out to play tonight and we don't know anything."
"Very good, let's go out and play." Hawke pointed to the American big car Van: "This car is also for you. You can drive it to other places and sell it, and then come back after playing for a week." "Oh my God?"
Hoke said: "It's up to you."
The Qi Chou trio were about to leave. Before getting off the car, the three Chou men remembered something and said to Hawke: "Boss, the Mexican guy you asked us to take care of is called Campos. He is quite dull and rarely causes trouble, but he takes good care of his compatriots..."
Hawke almost forgot about this man and said, "Just don't provoke him."
The three people got out of the car happily and drove away in the van.
They decided to go directly north and visit San Francisco.
Edward closed the car door, took off the dreadlocked wig on his head, and tore off the fake beard on his face, grinning in pain.
Hoke returned to his original appearance, the camera was connected to the laptop, the video was transmitted, and a copy was made.
Edward put away the makeup tools and came over to ask: "Boss, how is the effect?"
"I can only say it's okay." Hawke clicked on the video: "After suffering repeated stimulation, he still didn't directly Saying discriminatory words, it seems that his agency or public relations company has had some experience with him. Relevant teachings. "
Edward scratched his head: "We failed"
Hoke said: "It's not a failure, just not very successful."
Video play. It starts with the man with dreadlocks and beard kicking the car, and the camera moves to the sidewalk amidst the chaos.
At the same moment when they turned around, the two people collided, and Josh Hartnett and the three ugly men had a brief conflict.
“Get out of here, you disgusting bastard!”
The curse words are clear.
Although the picture has the haste and jitter of a handheld candid shot, Hawke's technique is skillful and Josh Hartnett's face is clearly identifiable.
Especially when Josh finally left, he blocked his nose with his hands and looked at the three ugly men on the ground with disgust on his face.
Hawke turned off the computer and said to Edward: "Drive, go to the Fox Television Center."
Edward immediately started the car and turned out of the parking lot.
Hoke thought carefully for a while, took out his cell phone and called Megan Taylor.
When the other side picked up the phone, Megan asked: "You are free tonight, do you want to go to my place?"
Hoke said more seriously: "I just got a piece of news. On the way to Fox Television Center”
Meghan was the same as before: "I'll wait for you in the office."
The commercial vehicle entered Century City and soon arrived in front of the Fox Building.
Hoke picked up his laptop and got out of the car.
Edward stretched out his head and asked: "Boss, shall I stay here to wait for you?"
"Go back." Hawke waved his hand.
The security guard in front of the building had already seen Hawke and took out his mobile phone to make a call: "Milly, the Hawke Osmond you brought to my attention is here."
"Thank you." Mi Li quickly went to inform her boss.
When Hawke entered the Fox Building, Gretchen came down in the elevator.
The two met in the elevator.
"Good evening, Hawke." Gretchen took the initiative to say hello and asked directly: "What, is there big news?"
Hawke said: "I captured a gossip about a Hollywood movie star swearing. Do you want it?"
Gretchen works on the prime-time "Ace News" and originally thought that she could get similar historical gossip from Hawke. Hot news like Steve Horner.
She lost interest as soon as she heard it and said: "Gossip is not in line with the positioning of my program."
Hoke wants to rely on this video to run his plan, and it is impossible to sell it to Gretchen. The video If it really falls into the opponent's hands, it means losing control.
Gretchen's face did not change, and she said with a smile: "Remember to contact me if you get big news."
Hawke responded casually and took the elevator upstairs.
When he arrived at the "Midnight Entertainment" program group, he went directly into Megan's office.
Megan had already been whetted by Hawke, so she came up and asked: "Breaking news? Can it make headlines?"
Hoke opened his bag, took out his notebook, and said while turning on the phone : ""Pearl Harbor" actor Joe Josh Hartnett, he had conflicts with people on the street."
Megan said: "Josh Hartnett? Although he starred in "Pearl Harbor", his personal response was average. , barely enough to reach the second line..."
Hawke clicked on the video: "Watch it first and then talk."
Megan sat next to Hawke and watched the video carefully.
As before, she watched it as a whole first, and then paused from time to time to take a closer look at the picture when watching it a second time.
The video is short and Megan keeps pausing.
The two black men who appeared among them, the old black man who was kicking the car had dreadlocks covering his face and had a big beard.
The one who collided with Josh Hartnett can only see the side and rear, and his face is basically not exposed.
But he is definitely a black man. Even though he was wearing a hat, Josh Hartnett's face was caught on camera several times.
Hoke is a photographer who pays great attention to technique. Regardless of the hasty lens changes or the shaky images, no matter how you look at it, it is an emergency shot in response to emergencies.
Megan did not speak after watching it for the second time. Instead, she dragged the video to the end, listening to what Josh Hartnett said over and over again and watching his disgusted expression when he finally left.
"You want to mess with him?" Megan and Hawke knew each other well, and it was not difficult to guess his intentions.
Knowing that he couldn’t hide it from her and needed some cooperation from the show crew, Hawke immediately said: “I took over a business to help someone win a role, and Josh Hartnett is a competitor.”< br>
Meghan raised her hand: “You don’t need to tell me anymore, I don’t know this, I only make news based on the videos I saw. "
Hoke asked directly: "What are you going to do?"
"Strictly speaking, this video is not worthy of headlines." Megan turned off the video and stood up in the room. Back and forth within: "But Josh Hartnett's final words and expression left room for news design."
Hawke agreed: "We control the entry point of the news, and we teach the audience how to read it."
Megan stopped and already made a decision: "In recent times, Steve The black equal rights movement triggered by Nat has been gaining momentum in California, especially around Los Angeles. I plan to invite a representative figure in the field of equal rights and a civil rights figure to have a video connection to debate this matter and discuss the video Are the people involved in racial discrimination? ”
She paused slightly and then said: "This can not only generate enthusiasm, but also allow the program team to avoid risks as much as possible."
Hoke made a suggestion: "Representatives of equal rights can invite Steve Husband, he has recently transformed into an equal rights fighter. Time has also cooperated with you, and your news is also biased towards him. I believe he will not refuse.”
Meghan thinks this is a good idea and can effectively increase the attention of the show: “I will call you personally later. Invite him.”
Hawke added: "The video is $10,000."
"This video is worth at most $5,000." Megan made no concessions at work and handed the storage disk to him: "After you copy the video, go find Claire, sign the agreement and get the check."
Hook goes to copy the video.
Meghan came from behind, stood next to him, and whispered: "We've finished talking about business matters, now let's talk about private matters. How are you going to thank me?"
Hoke simply said directly: "In In the office? ”
"You're crazy!" Although Megan was crazy when playing, but not that crazy: "If nothing happens, wait here for me to get off work and go to my place in the evening."
"Okay, to thank you, tonight I don't sleep." Hawke put away his notebook, left the office, and found Claire to sign the agreement.
When he got the check, he called Caroline: "Ms. Me, I remember that your client attended a media event and needs to consult with you."
Caroline Said: "This is stipulated in the contract."
Hoke said directly: "Steve asked you about participating in "Midnight Entertainment" Connection, and you asked him to agree. It is related to our current work. ”
Caroline asked first: "Wouldn't it harm Steve's interests?"
"Absolutely not." Hawke said.
Caroline responded.
Hoke came back after collecting the check, and Megan was already gathering people for a meeting.
She came over and said something to Hawke. After Steve received the call, he only thought about it briefly before writing a reply. He would have a video connection with "Midnight Entertainment" tonight.
Caroline then called and was rushing to the Fox Television Center to communicate with the program team about the video connection.
Hoke carried his bag and came to the reception room to rest and think about the follow-up development.
During the period, Dani called and asked: "It went well?"
Hoke said: "It went well."
Dani didn't say anything more. Hang up the phone.
After a while, Caroline knocked on the door and came in. The new Hermès bag was placed on the table. She sat on the sofa next to Hawke and said, "It's done."
Hoke asked: "How do you say that."
Caroline said: "Steve watched the video and thought that Josh Hartnett's words and actions were a kind of implicit racial discrimination. Watch, he will debate with people in the video connection."
Hoke brought a bottle of water to her: "Drink some water and rest for a while."
Caroline twisted. He took a sip and then said: "I have a feeling that Steve focuses too much on equal rights. He is more active than those black people..."
"Sunk costs, Steve has invested too much in it, so he can only continue along this path." Hawke chose Steve because he could easily influence him: "You think of a way to make Steve Start a new campaign at Black Lives Matter and protest where Josh Hartnett appears.
>< br>Hoke said: "Isn't this the job we do? According to you, Steve will not refuse."
"With his current mental state, he will actively do it." Caroline was quite emotional: "You changed the life of a sports star."
Hoke deliberately said: "Not only, I also changed the life of a public relations manager."
Caroline's face tightened: "You haven't changed me."
Hoke reminded: "Have you ever bleated before?"
Caroline gritted her teeth in anger, Warning Hawke: "One day, you will pay the price."
"Okay, no kidding." After Hawke's daily teasing, he returned to being serious: "We are going to Start preparing to ensure that the news will appear in more media tomorrow and be seen by the insurance manager Green."
Caroline added: "Don't worry about Director Clark, before I come over, Steve. The husband has notified black equality organizations in Los Angeles to watch the show tonight, and Spike Lee is an important member of them."
Hawke added: "I don't know who Josh Hartnett suspected first."
Caroline said: "In normal thinking, it must be Kevin Spacey and the one who made the threatening phone call. Colin Farrell."
Hoke had an idea and took out his cell phone to call Johnson: "Dawn, drive later. Go out and find someone you trust to bump into you. I'll let Edward take the photo."
"No, I don't want your playmate." He rejected Johnson's suggestion: "Let Danni find a professional. A stunt driver, with your future, he will be willing to serve you.”
