Chapter 115 Ace News has been replaced
Fox Television Center, Channel 11.
In the office, Megan Taylor watched one video and clicked on another, pausing from time to time.
Hoke talked about some related news demands.
After a while, all the videos were played, Megan looked up and said: "There are some videos from the recorder. It seems that you have reached an agreement with the LAPD."
Hawke roughly said: "Agent Erica Ferguson's informant discovered the stronghold where senior members of the Mule Gang were hiding. I cooperated with the LAPD to carry out this image project. You always want social news, these are full of highlights. . ”
Piles of money, weapons and lesson card seals are indeed very valuable. Regarding the visual impact, Megan did not hide it in front of Hawke: "If there is blood and a few more corpses, it will be more interesting."
Hoke shrugged: "LAPD is too strong."
“I want the news.” Megan pressed the intercom and asked Claire to send the storage disk.
Hoke made an unceremonious offer: "$300,000. The tone of the report is the same as last time, completely leaning towards the LAPD."
Megan said: "Are you going to squeeze out all my funds?"
Hoke has done a good deed, and of course he wants to let the person involved know: "This fund may come from another program group."
“What do you mean?” Megan didn’t understand.
"You'd better ask first where Gretchen from "Ace News" went." Hawke reminded: "I will do it for you what you want. What are the consequences? Take it for me.”
Megan remembered the morning she ate too much protein and quickly picked up the phone and called: “It’s me, what happened to Gretchen?”
"I don't know the details, but I heard that she was summoned for questioning by the Western Branch." The person over there was well-informed: "Legal Counsel Pierce accompanied her."
Megan hung up the phone and looked Xiang Hawke, a little anxious: "What did you do? There are some things that cannot be used on Fox. It is scarier than you think."
Hoke said; "Don't worry, I didn't use bad means. "He is very good at talking, so Megan Chengqing: "The fight between you and Gretchen involved me. Gretchen found a paparazzi to follow me and wanted to mess with me."
Megan looked very angry: "This Bichi has crossed the line. ! I'm going to tear her mouth apart!"
Hoke roughly told what happened: "The matter happened to involve Gretchen. I asked my friends from the LAPD for some help. Gretchen returned before eight o'clock. Not coming.”
Claire then knocked on the door and came in.
"You go out first." Megan glanced at her and warned: "Stay at the door. No one is allowed in without my consent."
Claire put down the storage disk and hurriedly Go out and close the door, then stand guard at the door of the office.
Megan closed the laptop and suddenly came to Hawke.
Gretchen was temporarily taken away, and she got popular social news. She knew who would be the biggest beneficiary.
Hawke asked: "What do you want to do?"
"Don't you want to try it in the office? Just in time, I want to try it too." Meghan lowered her head and asked: "Don't you Will you reject me? "
How can Hawk refuse this kind of thing? That's a huge blow to people's self-esteem.
Perhaps a different kind of excitement, this time the two of them were extremely fast.
Not long after, Meghan went to the bathroom in the office suite to rinse her mouth.
Hawke reminded her: "Go to your immediate boss, hurry up and get it done, I can only help you here."
Meghan came out, wiped her lips with a tissue, and said: "You wait here. Me."
She went out and went upstairs to the director's office. She told the assistant and Cynthia let her in.
"Director, can you let me do "Ace News" tonight?" Megan got straight to the point and said directly: "I got a piece of heavyweight social news."
Cynthia said to Her arrival was not surprising at all: "Tell me about it."
None of these female anchors can make people worry.
“The LAPD dispatched elite forces this afternoon to raid the secret stronghold of the Mule Gang in Los Angeles.” Megan said very fast: “The largest drug-related case in Los Angeles in the past five years has been solved. This time The case can be solved, and star police officer Erica Ferguson is the key."
She further said: "The Mule Gang's hiding place is located in a wealthy area of Venice. I got in touch with the LAPD and was able to connect Erica Ferguson and Director Johnson of the Detective Bureau on the spot."
Cynthia sits firmly on the high platform and wants to see her subordinates compete, but the prerequisite is that she cannot cross the line.
Gretchen had crossed the line, so she didn't hesitate at all: "Tonight's live signal from "Ace News," switch your studio and get ready."
"Thank you, director." Megan quickly went out, went downstairs to the program team, and announced the news.
The entire program team is busy.
Megan gave the order for Claire to complete the copyright licensing agreement with Hawke first, and then the editing team edited the video. The key periods and areas were presented in different shots and angles.
She called Susie herself and sent an broadcast truck there to connect with the target person who was still at the scene.
Claire, the assistant, was ordered around by Megan.
But she discovered something strange. There was a faint smell of seafood in Megan’s words.
After Hawke signed the agreement, he handed the copied video to Claire and waited in Megan's office.
The application report has been filed here. Fox’s news copyright fee approval process is very fast, but it is a little slower today.
According to the regulations of Fox Television Station, in situations like this, the expenses will be charged to the "Ace News" column's account.
Tonight, Meghan not only stole Gretchen's show, but also used their funds.
More than half an hour later, Claire delivered the check.
Hoke had no problem in the program group. He picked up his bag, collected the check, and came to the director's room to watch the live news.
Separated by a glass window, the electronic background of the studio has been switched to "Ace News".
Meghan is making final preparations.
Hoke asked Claire who was following him: "I remember that every episode of this show has a theme."
Claire said softly: "Tonight's theme is "Safety in Los Angeles, Guarded by the LAPD."
Hoke has seen Megan's ability to handle news. Ordinary news can't wait to set off huge waves. This This time it will definitely drag down the whole of Los Angeles.
As expected, after the show started, Megan first reported the news, and then, according to Hawke, he infiltrated crime into the suburbs and wealthy areas of Los Angeles and used it as the background.
Then he reviewed what the Mule Gang did, showing their violence and ferocity.
Then, the multi-perspective action video was played. It did not need to be modified too much, because in the afternoon action, the LAPD's performance was completely devastating.
…………
Western Branch.
After accepting the routine questioning, Gretchen came out of the questioning room and asked Pierce, who was accompanying her: "Can I leave now?"
Pierce said: "We can leave. ”
The two walked out along the corridor.
Halfway through, Pierce went to another inquiry room and brought Anna Cookman out.
Anna shouldered everything and asked in a low voice: "Will I be okay?"
Pierce said: "You only violated the Press Act and did not really harm Hawke O'Brien. Simon's rights, the LAPD has no right to deal with you."
Although he was not treated rudely, Gretchen did not want to stay here any longer and said, "Let's leave the police station first."
The three of them turned out of the corridor and entered the front hall, where they found many police officers watching the TV on the wall.
Gretchen vaguely heard a familiar voice. The owner of the voice seemed to be reporting that the LAPD had solved a major case.
She turned to look at the TV screen and saw Megan Taylor at first sight.
"The time is wrong." Gretchen looked at the program column carefully, and it turned out to be "Ace News".
Megan, that bitch, is hosting her "Ace News" show!
I also had a video connection with someone on the show. The person watching the connection was clearly LAPD Chief of Detectives Johnson.
Gretchen wants to know why Meghan is hosting her show.
At Fox, it is normal for the host to switch between different programs because the host is busy, but no matter what is done, both parties will be notified in advance.
At this time, the person on the line was replaced by LAPD star police officer Erica Ferguson.
Because I have worked here and am well-connected with people, when Erica was being interviewed, people here kept praising her.
Even at the end of the live interview, some police officers were applauding.
Gretchen quickened her pace and walked outside. She came out and took out her mobile phone to make a call: "Nina, what's going on with tonight's show? Why is that Bitchi hosting the show?"
The other side quickly replied. Said: "Director Cynthia's arrangement, you are not on the show team, we can't argue."
Gretchen hung up the phone and walked towards the car faster. She had sensed a crisis before, but now it was looming over her head.
Gretchen and Anna got into the same car.
Pierce got into his car and called Cynthia first.
The two cars quickly returned to the Fox Building.
After Gretchen and Anna entered the show, they found that Pierce had followed them.
Coming with him were two security personnel and a personnel specialist.
Pierce came directly to Anna and said: "Now, on behalf of the company's legal department, I formally inform you, Ms. Anna Cookman, that you leaked the company's news sources to non-company and non-work related personnel. Violation of the Press Act ”
The personnel specialist took out a document and placed it in front of her: "The company has decided to dismiss you. Please pack your personal belongings and leave."
Anna looked at Gretchen with a glimmer of hope.
The latter asked: "You will fire my assistant without my consent?"
The personnel department commissioner said: "The company has made a decision."
Gray Qin understood that this must have been approved by Cynthia.
The hope in Anna's eyes gradually disappeared and soon turned into disappointment.
Under the supervision of the security personnel, she returned to her work station, packed her personal belongings, and left the company in despair.
The rest of the program team watched all this and turned their attention to Gretchen.
These people suddenly realized that Gretchen might not be able to hold on to the sky.
Pierce and the personnel specialist left quickly.
Gretchen returned to the office, finally couldn't bear it anymore and called Cynthia.
She asked tentatively: "Director, why?"
Cynthia said lightly: "Not only have your people crossed the line, they are also destroying the foundation of the Fox TV network. Fox can be where it is today. Your chest and legs do play a role, but the key is the breaking news! Have you forgotten, the TV station is available 24 hours a day? To broadcast dynamically, there must be something that can attract the audience. Where do these things come from? "
Gretchen said: "I didn't want to hurt anyone..."
"That's enough. "Cynthia didn't want to listen to the reasons and excuses, and said directly: "You haven't taken your annual leave this year. You will take it starting tomorrow."
After saying that, the phone hung up on his own initiative.
Gretchen listened to the busy tone and slowly turned off the phone.
This cannot be changed.
…………
After handling the media matters at the scene, Susie rushed to the Fox Television Center.
"Ace News" has ended, and Hawke, Megan, and her are in the producer's office to discuss follow-up matters.
Susie said: "Tonight's program was very successful. The superiors are very satisfied with this operation and the program. I hope the popularity of the report can be extended."
Meghan has already After receiving the news, Gretchen was put on annual leave, and "Ace News" was temporarily managed by her. She immediately said: "Tomorrow I will go to the police detective station as planned to take pictures of guns, drug money and class card stamps. Can I arrange for the investigation? The suspect's interview? The face can be coded."
Susie had a headache: "I'll communicate with them, there's nothing wrong with the items."
Hoke. Combining the practices of his previous birthplace, he said: "I suggest that the LAPD and Channel 11 choose a suitable venue to publicly display the results of the fight against the Mule Gang and conduct a publicity campaign."
"Public service announcement?" Susie shook her head: "In this drug war in California, we still don't know who will be the final winner."
Hoke knew that she had gone astray and said: "We don't want effects, but It is to show people that the security situation in Los Angeles is serious, and the LAPD is doing its best to solve it.”
Megan and Hawke’s ideas are more in sync: "Channel 11 can focus on reporting that you bring some victims of the Mule Gang to the scene to accuse the Mexican gangs of their brutality."
Susie thought back: "This is a good idea, it can let the citizens see, LAPD Efforts for public safety”
Hoke added: “This will promote the fundraiser”
Susie corrected: "It's a social appreciation party."
Hoke nodded, different paths led to the same goal, in the end it was all business and making money.
The three discussed for a while, and Susie left first. She had to communicate with her superiors when she went back.
There were only two people left in the office, and Meghan said: "In the next half month, Gretchen will go on annual leave, and I will be in charge of "Ace News."
Hoke said: "Congratulations, seize this opportunity and become a supervisor."
"It's not easy for Cynthia to make a decision." Megan understands her boss's work style very well: "Channel 11 is not Fox News. The replacement of this program depends entirely on Cynthia, and what she values most is the ratings. During this time It is a test for me."
She explained: "Why Gretchen thinks I am a threat, why Cynthia ranked me second among the anchors of Channel 11, because since April, "Midnight Entertainment" has been closed. The ratings skyrocketed. "
Hoke laughed: "You don't need to compliment me like this, you can just say, Hawke is great, Hawke is very hard, Hawke stood behind me and made me stand up. .”
Megan His eyebrows raised: "Why didn't Hawke feed me enough?"
Hoke has not yet passed the sage time: "Seriously, this cooperation with the LAPD will last you at least a week."
"The program team of "Ace News" has very sufficient funds, and the news can afford the price." Megan seemed to want Hawke to make more money: "Aren't you good at producing news and making news?"
Hawk Ke said: "Do you think I don't want to make money? This is not an industrial product. It can be produced by setting up an assembly line."
Meghan wanted to make progress too much, and her mentality was a bit unbalanced.
Hoke saw it and deliberately said: "How about this, you use the program team's funds for the next year to hire a few killers to get rid of the pig in the Oval Office."
< br>Meghan could tell it was a joke and couldn't help but laugh: "I'm full tonight, you can go."
Hawke picked up his bag, waved and went out. When he went downstairs, he called Edward. After waiting for a moment in front of the main entrance of the building, the Cadillac parked in the driveway in front of the door.
He got in the car and said to Edward: "Go back to the studio."
While driving, Edward said: "I just contacted Campos and everything is fine with him." Then he asked: "Boss, Campos will join us and I will take him out to shoot news?"
Hoke had already considered it: "I plan to let him open a consulting company."
"Consulting company?" Edward didn't understand.
Hawke said: "It's similar to a private detective."
After all, after following Hawke for several months, Edward occasionally had a bright idea: "When we deal with some difficult matters, let him do the investigation secretly?"
Hawk can’t help but Said: "It turns out that your talent is not only about picking up girls."
Edward couldn't help bragging: "In Compton, I am also famous as a smart person."
Hoke found that the problem was quite Seriously, Compton's overall intelligence is not optimistic.
Edward hadn't finished his words yet: "Few black people out of Compton have a life as good as mine."
"You are the wisest man in Compton!" Hawke praised and took out his hand. She took out her mobile phone and dialed Caroline's number: "Miss Me, have you returned to the sheepfold?"
Caroline subconsciously replied: "Back! No, I I’m going home and getting ready for my beauty sleep.”
Hoke said: “The paparazzi who followed me, Daniel Richard, was caught by the LAPD and should be fined a lot of money. , please spread the word."
Caroline promised before and said, "Okay, I will deal with it tomorrow."
Hawk hung up the phone. The Cadillac had entered East Hollywood and soon parked on Fountain Street.
Edward also wants to go back to Brentwood to be with Deborah.
Hoke entered the studio, and within a few minutes, there was a knock on the door from outside.
Frank called the door: "I saw you came back."
Hoke opened the door and saw that he didn't have an ashtray, so he asked: "You didn't beg today?"
"I've been helping you keep an eye on that paparazzi." Frank seemed to have done a great job in helping you: "That bastard never came."
Hoke brought a bottle of water to him: "I'll find a way to send him Entering the Western Branch."
Frank nodded, took out a folded bag from his pocket, went to the refrigerator, and opened the refrigerator door.
Then, he became angry: "Why is my refrigerator still empty? Do you want to starve me to death?"
Had Frank not reminded him, Hawke would not have taken down Daniel Lee so smoothly. Chad, he said: "Tomorrow morning, we will go shopping together in the supermarket. There are two trolleys filled with food and drinks."
