Chapter 120 Full of Schemes
Century City, Beverly Business Club.
As soon as Hawke entered the door, he saw Caroline, which was a little strange.
She used to wait in front of the reception room.
Hoke asked: "Why are you here."
An unnatural smile suddenly appeared on Caroline's palm-sized face: "There's something I want to tell you in advance. Can you help me? I've helped you so much."
Hoke was noncommittal and stopped: "Just say it."
"Didn't you help Sarah with a planning project before? She paid for the West Coast job The house is worth 250,000 US dollars, please make a career plan." Caroline lowered her voice unconsciously: "Can you not mention this matter when you meet her?"
Hoke? After thinking about it, I understood what was going on: "Let her choose skin care products as endorsement plans?"
Caroline nodded repeatedly: "Yes! Yes!"
Hawke went straight to the crux of the problem: "You said my plan was your idea? And then you made another fortune, right?"
Caroline bit her lip slightly and said nothing.
Hoke was too lazy to say anything and walked towards the reception room.
"I...can I call you to listen?" Caroline followed and opened her mouth: "Baa! Baa, baa--"
Miss Baa was completely confused. He walked into the William Morris reception room, put his feet on the conference table, and spread his legs to let Hawke try his heroic spirit.
Maybe this is the contrast brought about after training?
Hoke took out his mobile phone and turned on the recording: "Miss Baa, change your position and do it again."
Caroline had no choice but to open her mouth again: "Baa——"< br>
"That's it." Hawke finished recording and turned off his phone: "I won't mention this in front of Sarah."
Caroline covered her face, quickened her pace, and came to Huo Ke. Go ahead and open the door to a reception room.
Sarah Parker turned to look at the door. The person who came in was not outstanding in appearance, but he was dressed in a tall formal suit and had a gentle and elegant temperament. He could not be related to the paparazzi who secretly took videos of celebrities.
Hoke took a few steps forward and shook hands with Sarah who stood up: "Hello, Ms. Parker."
Sarah smiled: "Call me Sarah." She He specifically said: "Although it is our first meeting, we have known each other for a long time."
Hoke said: "At work, conflicts are inevitable sometimes."
Yesterday plus today In the morning, Sarah had carefully inquired and studied the recent hot spots.
Although the young man opposite is not very eye-catching, and outsiders are completely unaware of his existence, he is stirring up the whole situation in Los Angeles just by hiding behind the scenes.
Sarah no longer mentioned the past, but focused on the future, and said directly: "Caroline should have told you my request, right?"
Hoke said: "Jin Ball Award for Best Actress in a Comedy Series,” he asked directly: “Jennifer Aniston’s Friends. ", does it belong to this category?"
Sarah said bluntly: "That Bichi is my biggest competitor"
Hoke asked again: "I checked it before. Jennifer Aniston has not won a Golden Globe in the Best Actress category.”
"Yes, she has never won one." Caroline added: "I got the news that Aniston plans to strive for the award this year."
Sarah said: "This is also One of the reasons why I came to see you"
By targeting Sarah Parker to get her husband Bro Derek, Hawke had the overall plan long ago, and as early as Caroline. When he was doing public relations for the swimming pool, he buried the line.
That is the so-called plan.
In the past few months, while Hawke was making money, he was also building up his prestige and reputation. He also used commissions to bring him closer to Caroline, making Miss Me completely lose her wary of him. , even trained to be a little obedient.
Then, with the current situation, sitting with Sarah Parker, doing what I want to do under the guise of helping her run the Golden Globe Awards.
Hoke asked again: "Are you Jewish, right? So is your husband?"
Sarah nodded: "Yes, we are both Jewish, and my father worked in the media industry , once served as an executive in a company, and is somewhat well-known in the Jewish circle. This status is a bit advantageous in the circle, but it does not play a big role in the Golden Globe Awards. The weight of the Oscars and Golden Globe Awards in the past few years level awards, Jewish winning rate "It's just average."
Hoke took note of Sarah's words and continued to ask: "How much resources can your husband invest?"
"It's just regular resources." Sarah said slightly. Impatient, he said directly: "These conventional methods are not the reason why I am looking for you. Just like the Golden Globe Awards, there are only about a hundred judges. I can sleep with them all, and others can do the same. There is no advantage at all."
Hawke had already planned, and then he said: "In this case, I will tell you what I want to say. If I want to ensure that I win the prize, in addition to normal public relations, I will do two things well. First, I will gain special advantages for myself, and secondly, I will destroy my direct competitors." ."
"My biggest competitor is Annes. "Dun." Sarah turned to another item: "My own special advantages?"
Hoke said directly: "I have a way to prevent Aniston from competing for this year's Golden Globe Award and create a customized plan for you. Sexual advantage.”
Sarah understood, it was impossible for the other party to say it without money.
Caroline opened her mouth and wanted to speak, but suddenly she noticed that Hawke quietly made a gesture to her.
The two have been working together for several months, and Caroline understood and said nothing.
Sarah was thinking, and what flashed through her mind were all the various incidents that Hawke had caused during this period.
Such a person is so rare.
“What are your charges?” Sarah asked.
Hoke said: "Two million US dollars, and if you win, an additional US$800,000."
Sarah disagreed: "The public relations for the best actor and actress at the Oscars only charges this amount. I can only give you US$1.2 million plus an award of US$800,000."
"Okay." Hawke emphasized. : "You will be responsible for the additional expenses during the period."
Sarah looked at Caroline, whom she trusted: "In terms of expenditure, it needs to be reviewed by Caroline."
Hoke responded: "No problem, it should be."
Sarah is worried that such people will be snatched away by other competitors: "Let's sign a contract."
Hawke reminded: "Don't you need to notify your agent?"
"I will report it to the agency." Sarah said lightly: "I just fired my agent, and the agency is working on it for me. Change to a new agent.”
< br>Caroline opened the bag: "I have a contract template here, take a look."
The two parties signed a cooperation agreement. Sarah's down payment was US$1 million. When she received the Golden Globe Award nomination , paying another $200,000.
The last US$800,000 is the Golden Globe award.
"Can you tell me more specifically now?" Sarah was eager.
Her career has reached a bottleneck. While "Sex and the City" has brought huge fame, it is also fixing the image of the actress. Moreover, starting from the last season, the ratings of the series have quietly declined, and at most two more seasons will be filmed. It's about to end.
Hoke said: "Leave it to me to take charge of your main competitor. These matters involve slander and other actions. You don't know anything."
Hearing these next words, Sarah Quite satisfied: "All the negatives have nothing to do with me."
"Let's talk about building your own unique advantages." Hawke continued: "Since you have been married to Mr. Bro Derek, do you have any children? plan?”
Sarah pondered for a moment and said, "I originally had such an idea this year, but you disrupted it."
Hoke had a guess.
Sarah simply said: "The time Robert Downey Jr. and I were photographed by you."
Hawke nodded and asked: "What about now?"
< br>“I haven’t thought about it.” Sarah and Bro are having a crazy and exciting time now, and the child is simply a burden: “Bro and I have never mentioned the child again.”
Hawke said directly: "Have a baby. At this point in time, if you can get pregnant, you will show your pregnancy just before the voting for the Golden Globe Awards. This will give you a lot of advantages invisibly."
Sarah frowned: "As long as you spread your legs, you can do it..."
"You are right, but you don't know enough about the media and public opinion." Hawke reminded: "You should be careful Think about it, Will a pregnant woman receive special treatment in most situations in all walks of life?”
He reminded emphatically: “I have seen the list of judges for the Golden Globe Awards, and they are all senior media people. These people are relatively older and basically have children. They like a mother."
Sarah thought about it carefully and nodded slowly: "That's true."
Hawke said: "This is one aspect. I will make a big fuss on this basis in the future. I will make detailed plans."
He raised his finger at Caroline in a hidden way.
Caroline understood and said: "If you don't like it, wait until the Golden Globe Awards are over, find an excuse like accidentally falling, and just have an abortion."
"Good idea. " Sarah said this, but she was thinking about something else.
She remembered hearing someone mention that she was particularly sensitive after becoming pregnant. If she and her husband found a third party at that time, the irritation would definitely be doubled. When it feels good enough, stop doing it.
This can also achieve what Hawke said, killing two birds with one stone!
One of the three people here is full of calculations.
Even Miss Me is thinking about how to earn commission to buy luxury goods.
Sarah's answer reminded Hawke of Miss Me's evaluation of her.
Refined egoist.
"Since you agree, there are a few things to confirm." Hawke began his calculation: "During this period, Sarah, have you done anything that is not conducive to pregnancy, such as medical treatment."< br>
Sarah thought for a while: “I need to have a beauty treatment on November 14th. Needle."
Hoke asked: "Cannot be used by pregnant women?"
"Generally speaking, it is not allowed, but some people in the circle use it during pregnancy." Sarah never thought about it. After giving birth to the child, he said: "It doesn't matter, I will definitely have an abortion."
Caroline answered: "It really doesn't matter."
Hoke had a deeper understanding of Sarah and said, "Let's finalize the first step plan first, Sarah, get pregnant as soon as possible."< br>
Sarah saw the benefits and said: "I will go to a professional doctor and get an ovulation injection."
Hoke glanced at his watch: "Then let's get here first today. I'm going out in the next few days. I will make a plan when I come back."
"Okay." Sarah Emphasis on reminding: "Don't forget who my number one competitor is, help me kill that bitch from Jennifer Aniston."
Hawke responded casually: "No problem."
Caroline left the Beverly Business Club with Sarah, and came back not long after.
Entering the reception room and seeing Hawke still there, she said: "I've done it for you."
Hoke didn't waste any nonsense: "Ten percent commission, waiting for the Golden Globe Award It's over."
"Okay." Caroline calculated that if everything goes well, she can get a commission of 200,000 US dollars.
It feels good to think about it.
Hoke said again: "I asked someone to transfer the commission to you last time."
Caroline couldn't suppress the smile on her lips: "I received it."
Putting up his bag, Hawke stood up and walked out.
Caroline followed and asked in a low voice: "How are you going to deal with Jennifer Aniston?"
Hawke said: "How about the beauty trick?"
"You?" Caroline looked Hawke up and down, stretched out her hand and pinched his upper arm: "You have a good figure and strong muscles, but you don't Brad Pitt is handsome.”
Hoke’s goal is Bro Derick, not Brad Pitt.
He asked: "I heard that Brad Pitt once worked as a valet for a gay actor in exchange for his recommendation?"
Caroline said: " Isn’t this the case in Hollywood? Before I came to Los Angeles, I was full of fantasies about celebrities. I felt that unspoken rules and red sofas were long gone. Hollywood is now very strict about rules. Reality proves that I am a naive fool.”
She returned to Hawke's question: "Many people in the Peter incident know that the guy's name is Tom Lacina. He was only a small star in the 1980s, but for those who are new to the industry, this He is a great big shot."
Hoke naturally has a purpose in asking these questions: "During this period, you are responsible for collecting some information about Brad Pitt. You are in public relations. She definitely knows the dirty stuff about celebrities that others don’t know.”
Caroline is very motivated to do things for money. The main reason is that she has not received the commission yet, so she has to be more positive: “Leave it to me. "
Hoke left the Beverly Club and came to the Hollywood area. He waited on an inconspicuous broken road for a while while Edward and Campos drove over.
The two got into Hawke's car together.
Edward said: "Boss, the formalities are completed."
Campos then said: "The house rented by the company is not far from the original Ackerman Charity Aid Center. Would you like to go and take a look."
Hoke shook his head: "Today will not pass." He reminded: "The focus of work in the past few months, Bro Derry "G."
"I followed him twice." Campos said a little strangely: "One time, Bro Derek went to the previous home of the Ackerman Rescue Station, the headquarters of the Ackerman Charity Rescue Center. "
Hoke said: "Put these things together and I will ask the savior to get them from you once a week."
Campos could hear Hawke's seriousness: "I will do it myself."
Hoke added: "Aren't there a lot of Mexican homeless people on the streets? You can try to develop informants, and you You can also try to contact the people mentioned last time.”
Campos wrote them all down.
The three of them talked for less than ten minutes before Campos left first.
Hoke said to Edward again: "While I am back in Wyoming, you will be in charge of the studio. Miss Me may provide some information. You should keep it carefully until I come back."
< br>
Edward was having a heated conversation with Deborah: "Can I not stay in the studio tonight?"
"Turn on the security measures then." Hawke did not force it: "You go back to Brentwood and live in the villa. "
He suddenly came up with an idea. If Sarah Parker gets pregnant and gives birth to a child, and Bro Derek is killed by him, it seems that he can also be on the savior's backup list.
When Hawke drove Edward away, he was still praising himself. Is there a better boss in the world than himself?
It is getting late, and the homeless people near the Avenue of Stars are returning to their nests one after another.
It has become the second largest homeless community in Los Angeles outside Skid Row.
Hoke drove back to Fountain Street. There was no empty parking space on the street, so he turned directly into the park parking lot.
As soon as he got off the car, Frank came over with an ashtray, patted the front of the car, and said, "Finally, I have a decent car. The luxury car I bought back then had ten parking spaces. I couldn’t fit them in my garage, so I had to give away a few that I didn’t like very much.”
< br>"I don't really like buying cars." Hawke finally managed to pretend in front of the King of Forces and said in a pretentious manner: "This was given to me by a customer."
Frank shook his head: "Those customers of yours are all fools. They were sold by you and they still have to count the money for you."
Seeing that he couldn't defeat the god from the front, Hawke simply turned around and said, "By the way, Salma Hayek left me a business card last time. Edward has been asking for it. Do you want me to give it to him or not?" What?”
Frank’s face darkened, and he turned around and left.
Hoke followed him into the RV, lifted his clothes to reveal the pistol inside, and reminded: "Don't use the Taser, I can easily empty the bullet."
"Follow that LAPD chick. What’s not good is learning to empty the magazine.” Fran. Ke opened the refrigerator door, took out a can of beer, and handed it to Hawke: "Are you still messing with that chick? Move faster."
Hoke said: "You can't rush this kind of thing. I'll do it in a few days." Going to take her to Wyoming.”
Frank asked: "She agreed?"
"Of course." Hawke said: "I like her very much."
Frank said: "She is really good, but you are a bad person." "People." He said: "You are like a leading actor in a Hollywood blockbuster. You have carefully created a set of characters and cast your eyes on people. That's good."
Hoke shook his finger: "You are wrong, what I am good at is exactly what she likes, and what she has is what I like."
He. Specifically speaking to Frank: "These days when I'm not here, when you beg for food, pay more attention to the studio."
Frank did not refuse: "Come back and bring me a gift."
Hoke said: "No problem."
The next morning, Erica called and told Hawke that in three days Start annual leave.
Hoke booked a flight from Los Angeles to Buffalo, Wyoming, not an overnight red-eye flight of course, but business class during the day.
Firearms cannot be brought on board the plane, you can only buy them after arriving in Wyoming.
Erica asked someone to apply for a hunting license, and she also obtained Wyoming's legal gun license.
To be precise, having money and power are all trivial matters.
Laws and rules are more used to restrict ordinary people.
Before the weekend arrived, the two of them packed their suitcases, met at Los Angeles International Airport, and boarded the flight to Buffalo together.
After arriving in Buffalo, if you want to go to Jeffrey City, you have to drive there.
Considering his hunting needs, Hawke rented a modified Ford Raptor and took Erica to a gun store to buy guns.
