Chapter 159 Secret Operation on Oscar Night
Early the next morning, Campos received a piece of news from his informant and immediately fed it back to Hawke.
After listening to this, Hawke asked Caroline: "How old is Will Smith's son this year?"
"Jaden Smith?" Caroline recalled it. : "He seems to have been born in 1998, and is less than five years old now."
She didn't dare to ask, was Hawke trying to figure out the child?
But then I think about it, it seems that my boss has a higher bottom line than most people in Hollywood.
Hoke said no more, because the news he got from Campos was unusual.
A while ago, Sean Combs organized a party to entertain the Zippertons, and Will Smith and his wife brought their son to attend.
Hawk automatically blocked Sean Combs' party.
The Zippertons, especially the woman in Hilary, are not generally vicious.
As March enters and the Oscars ceremony gets closer, the focus of all media in Los Angeles has turned to the Oscars.
Even the paparazzi who are active throughout Los Angeles have abandoned their ordinary targets and replaced their subjects with stars or directors who have received heavyweight nominations.
Slammed Oscar-nominated Will Smith for not appearing on the Oscars guest list.
The Smiths will also not attend the Oscars in protest.
Hughes Aircraft Factory, on the set of "Me and Robot".
A Mexican named Domingo, after waiting for more than half a month, finally waited until Will Smith and Bridget Moyna appeared on the set to rehearse together.
He was a temporary scene builder. He spent a lot of money in order to get into the scene construction crew.
The most important thing is that Domingo’s carpentry skills meet the requirements.
At noon break, Domingo discovered that Will Smith and Bridget Moyna came out of the rehearsal space together and walked towards the area where the trailers were parked on the set.
He carried a huge tool bag on his back and broke away from the group of companions who were going to have lunch on the excuse of going to the toilet.
There were a lot of people on the set at this time, so Domingo was not in a hurry. He turned into the toilet on the side, entered a partition, took out a small camera from his bag, adjusted the lens, turned it on, and put it in his bag.
Waiting for him to come out, I looked around a little and saw that no one was paying attention, so I plunged into the trailer parking area.
Hughes Aircraft Factory has long been transformed into the largest film and television shooting area in the Los Angeles area, and the huge factory building is just used to transform the studio.
However, there is a congenital lack of supporting facilities, and it relies heavily on trailers to solve the problem.
More than twenty RVs of various types are parked here.
Domingo had already stepped on his feet and got into the room between the RVs. He quickly found the place reserved for the heroine and found that the curtains of the RV were all open and there was no one in the car.
He then found the actor's RV nearby. The curtains in the car were tightly closed. Only from a certain angle could he find out that a curtain at the side and rear could not be closed tightly.
This is a place that Domingo has manipulated some time ago. It is not easy to be noticed. From the angle he chose, he can also shoot in the car.
Not only the hero’s car, but also the heroine’s car. He also sneaked into it.
Domingo quickly came to the angle he had found. After a short observation, he found two people in the car. He immediately took out the camera, hid behind a RV, quietly stretched out the lens, and quickly made adjustments. , photographing the situation in the car.
The two men were doing something between a man and a woman.
Because of the posture problem, I can’t take a picture of the face.
After waiting for a moment, the two people changed their positions, and the camera captured their faces at the same time.
Domingo remembered his boss's instructions and did not take more pictures. He took back the camera and checked to make sure there was no problem. He immediately turned off the camera and hid it in his bag, and quickly left the area.
While heading to the restaurant, he called the boss.
When they came to the restaurant, Domingo and his co-workers ate normally. After finishing the meal, it was still a long time before going to work, and a few of them even went out for a walk.
During this period, he went to a convenience store to buy cigarettes, saw Carlos, and quietly handed over the camera bag.
Carlos drove away immediately.
By the afternoon, Edward had obtained the video and sent it to Hawke's desk.
Hawke watched it carefully. Although the video was not very clear and the camera was secretly shot through the gap in the curtains, it was enough to see the faces of Will Smith and Bridget Moyna and what they were doing. .
From the assignment of the task, it took more than half a month to initially achieve the goal.
Caroline came over and asked: "Send it now?"
"No, wait a minute." Hawke looked at Edward: "Have they been discovered?"
Edward specifically asked: "No."
Hoke put away the storage disk and said to Caroline: "Someone will come over to sell this video before get off work. You go to receive it in person and pay the normal price. Buy.”
Caroline understood: "Okay."
Not long after, a Mexican woman came to Twitter to sell news videos, and Caroline received her personally.
Hoke called Campos again and asked him to be patient and not to be anxious.
It would be best if you can get a video of Will Smith having sex. If not, the existing videos are enough to attract attention.
…………
On March 23, 2003, the 75th Academy Awards ceremony was held on time at the Kodak Theater.
This attracted attention across the United States.
Especially media reporters.
On such a special day, even the paparazzi will gather at places related to the Oscars.
For example, the theater on the Avenue of Stars, the hotel hosting Oscar night, the burger restaurant where celebrities like to visit, etc.
Stars who have nothing to do with Oscars will be automatically ignored.
In Calabasas, Los Angeles, a mansion called Dream Castle occupies an entire hill.
This is Will Smith's home.
There is only one main road up the mountain. In the parking lot of the museum near the intersection, Campos and Garcia, who were changing cars and changing clothes, and a few people have been squatting there for nearly a month.
During the period, they saw the target Duane Martin visiting the Smith family's mansion. But I couldn't follow him, it would startle people too easily.
The sky is getting dark and the surroundings have become extremely quiet.
In the past, paparazzi always gathered here.
Tonight those guys disappeared without a trace, all chasing Oscar.
Aboard a Chevrolet, Campos woke up Garcia who was dozing: "A car is coming down."
Garcia stood up, picked up the binoculars and looked over there. The bright car lights made it difficult for him to see the front of the car: "There are two cars."
Campos picked up the intercom: "Everyone, get ready to go .”
On the other three vehicles, personnel quickly arrived.
Campos had money in his hands and was able to obtain legal status, so he attracted many Mexicans.
Among them are former Mexican police officers who were forced to cross the border by traffickers and guys who fled after their families were killed by traffickers.
Campos observed for a moment, and the car was getting closer. He said to Garcia: "I will follow the car in front, and you lead the people to follow the car behind. Remember, if there is no good shooting opportunity, don't alarm people."
Garcia immediately put on his bag and got out of the car, switching to another car.
A man came over and sat in the passenger seat.
The first car coming down the hill turned onto the main road.
Campos has been staying in the car and remembers entering and exiting the car clearly. There have been no guests in the Smith family these days.
He waited a moment and followed.
There is another car behind, cross-tracking with the Chevrolet.
The other car coming down the mountain was Jada Smith's Porsche, and Garcia led people to chase it.
Will Smith sat in a car and arrived near Balboa Lake Park.
The person driving the car was his assistant and playmate Pilar.
There are many single-family houses separated by walls.
Will Smith’s good friend Duane Martin lives in this area.
He had children at home, so it was inconvenient to ask Du An to go there, and he didn’t dare to go to hotels and other places, so he happened to come to Du An’s house on Oscar night.
This street is very quiet, with Lake Balboa Park under renovation on one side and sparse houses on the other.
Will Smith made a phone call and asked Pilar to park the car at the door and look around in the car before putting on the hood of his sweatshirt and quietly getting out of the car.
He told Pilar: "Stay outside."
Bilal nodded: "I will wait for you to come out."
Will Smith got out of the car and came to the door. Enter your fingerprint and get in quickly.
The wall blocks prying eyes from outside.
Duane was waiting for him at the door.
Outside the courtyard gate, a black Ford passed by the gate and continued to drive forward without stopping at all.
Bilal took a glance and saw Ford turning from the intersection ahead, lowering his head to adjust the radio to listen to the news about the Oscars ceremony.
Then he lowered the window and lit a cigarette.
In the black Ford, a Mexican picked up the walkie-talkie and said: "Boss, there is a car parked in front of the target house. There is someone in the car. Don't go directly."
"Got it. "The Chevrolet parked far away on the side of the intersection.
Juan, who was in the passenger seat and was just twenty years old, was a little anxious: "What should we do?"
"You wait in the car." Campos got out of the car and pretended to be an ordinary pedestrian. Come to the intersection and look over there.
He exchanged experiences with two veteran photographers, Hawke and Edward, and immediately went to see the street light poles. This was not a main road and the light poles were short and not suitable.
It’s okay not to mention the green trees on the roadside.
Campos looked at the park that was being renovated and found a place that could be used. Not too far away from the target house, there was an old-fashioned water tower.
Judging from the situation, it seems to be a landscape specially reserved.
Campos went back, put on his backpack with Juan respectively, and said: "Follow me, don't make a sound."
The two climbed over the park fence from here, with their waists bent. Run towards the house and soon you will be under the water tower.
The water tower has a metal ladder. Campos climbed up first. After climbing to the upper level of the water tower, he determined that the target house could be seen from here.
He waved to Juan below, and Juan followed immediately.
The two squatted on the metal support of the water tower. Campos took out the camera and put it on his shoulders, turned it on and looked towards the house.
Lights were on in several large windows of the house, but no one could be seen.
Huan also opened his bag, took out his SLR camera, attached a telephoto lens, and went back and forth to find a suitable shooting angle.
Through the camera, the two of them could see the interior of the house, but there were no people.
Campos glanced at the cars parked outside the courtyard and said softly: "Calm down, don't be anxious."
Juan nodded repeatedly.
There was a steel frame under their feet, and it was very uncomfortable to squat on it, but the two of them tried their best to endure it.
This squatting has been going on for a long time.
Finally, two dark-skinned men appeared.
