Chapter 168 Stand and Knife
In the conference room, the thick curtains have been drawn.
The projector data cable was connected to the computer, and the video image was projected onto the screen. The inexplicable and weird voices of men and women came from the speakers.
Including Hawke, a group of Twitter managers gathered here to eat the melon collectively.
Compared to the candid version of Will Smith and his wife, Rick Solomon's upright shot of Paris Hilton is much clearer.
Frank sat next to Edward and still couldn't figure it out: "Is there something wrong with her mind? She let people film her like this? How could the Hilton family teach people? It's such a failure."
Caroline on the other side whispered: "I guess he is not the main heir. He mainly enjoys life."
Edward continued: "On the Internet and in the news, there is almost no news about the male descendants of the Hilton family."
Frank turned and glanced at him: "It turns out that brains can grow in cotton."
"Hey, old man." Edward said aggressively: "What's your ex-wife's surname and name?"
After Frank reversed the situation, his confidence surged and he casually joked: "My name is Elizabeth Taylor. Do you dare to go?"
Edward nodded: "I understand, it turns out you are a pretty girl who is crazy about getting married."
Hawke knocked on the table lightly, and several people quickly shut up.
The video material is quite long, more than one and a half hours in total.
When the playback ended, Edward turned off the projector and opened the conference room curtains.
Frank, who serves as a free consultant for the company, said: "The two identities of a wealthy daughter and a socialite from the Upper East Side are enough to attract attention. This news is no less than a Hollywood A-list actress."
Technical Director Harland asked at this time: "When will the website be released? The technical department must make some preparations in advance."
"Next week, before the movie's summer release." Hawke has already thought about it: "This week we can still get the traffic from the cooperation between the LAPD and the Los Angeles Dodgers, but next week these will be almost consumed."
Caroline reminded: "We are a regular online media. We need to code when publishing, and key parts cannot be exposed."
Hawke nodded and said to Edward: "From these videos, select the clearest part for editing. The total length should not exceed 10 minutes. Code all the key parts and wait for my notification."
Edward took off the storage disk connected to the computer: "I'm going to get ready."
Hawke stood up and looked at the people in the conference room one by one: "Everyone, this is a top secret of the company. It must not be disclosed to anyone before the news goes online."
This ended the meeting.
Edward took the storage disk and went back to the office to edit.
Frank, a retired former famous producer, followed Hei Xiaoshuai to provide him with on-site guidance.
Hawke suspects the old guy wants to see Paris Hilton a few more times, but has no proof.
Caroline followed Hawke into the office and said: "This time the material is more than an hour and a half, and only 10 minutes are edited for online broadcast. Isn't it a little short?"
Hawke said: "There are only three paragraphs that are really bright and clear, and 10 minutes of the essence is enough."
"What to do with the rest?" Caroline asked.
Hawke did not answer, but asked her: "What do you think?"
Caroline didn't speak for the time being, thinking in Hawke's past style, and quickly said: "I thought of two ways to deal with it. What we got is an exclusive authorization. The 10-minute essence part can not only detonate the news as news, but also It’s the best advertising.”
She is also capable: "During Selfie Gate, I remember you cooperated with Sacred Valley manufacturers. You can still cooperate this time. We bought the video for 800,000 US dollars and cooperated with Sacred Valley to release DVDs and video tapes. Refer to the sales of Selfie Gate , with an income of at least US$5 million.”
Hawke agreed: "This is indeed a good idea. The company has not yet made a large amount of revenue since its establishment. If this business can be done, it will be very profitable."
Hearing the boss's praise, Caroline smiled like a little ewe in heat and said: "The second way, if Paris Hilton still has a sense of shame, she will definitely come to us and find a way to buy back this A video recording, after all, as a formal media, we release a coded version.”
Hawke nodded: "As long as her bid is high enough, I can sell it back to her."
Caroline quickly responded: "I'm going to make plans now."
Hawke sat at his desk, turned on his computer and searched the Internet. The Internet was full of tidbits about Paris Hilton, and the amount far exceeded that of ordinary Hollywood stars.
This wealthy daughter is in the most chaotic, rebellious and crazy stage of her life.
Hawke can guess what ordinary people think.
But this kind of person’s head is full of mush, who knows what he will think.
Hawke also prepared for the worst.
…………
Century City, Fox Television Center.
From the "Fox & Friends" program team, the assistant knocked on the door of the associate producer's office with a package. He heard voices inside, and then opened the door and went in.
She came to the desk and the package was placed on the table: "The post just delivered it."
Gretchen took it over and took a look at the package that was mailed from Las Vegas. She sent her assistant away and opened the package.
Inside is a stack of printed information, as well as several photos. The girls above are all young and have outstanding looks. They are considered first-class in Hollywood.
Gretchen was certain that she did not know these girls.
She went to read the corresponding information, and the more she read, the more she felt something was wrong. According to what was written in the information, all these girls were missing, and neither their bodies nor their bodies were found alive.
The disappearance of beautiful young girls is nothing unusual in the United States and Los Angeles. Gretchen felt that something was not right, so after reading the information, she read it again carefully.
Having worked in front-line news for many years, she has a good sense of news and quickly found common ground in the information.
Two girls went missing from the Superstar Acting School, and another girl went missing from the set.
In all three, Akerman Films’ name appears.
Gretchen checked online and found that billionaire Buddy Ackerman was the largest shareholder of Ackerman Films, and Superstar Acting School was one of the many subsidiaries invested by Ackerman Films.
It was obvious that someone had mailed it on purpose.
Gretchen still understands such a simple truth.
When she hosted "Ace News" in the past, she received countless similar news clues.
Some of them became hot news.
But this time it was different. Gretchen searched for news about Buddy Ackerman on the Internet.

What appears at the forefront is all charity news.
Buddy Ackerman donates to a blood disease research organization.
The Ackerman Charitable Foundation sponsors blood tests for children to screen for potential diseases.
It also provides food, drinking water and temporary shelter to the homeless, provides medical examinations and provides assistance to the sick.
Among these charity news, Gretchen discovered a current political news.
Newspaper photo from the Los Angeles Times of Buddy Ackerman posing with current Governor Gray Davis and Lt. Governor Wilson.
Gretchen is not surprised by this. The Jewish forces in Hollywood tend to favor dark blue.
Fox's management is also filled with many Jewish people.
These people even help each other in some ways.
Under normal circumstances, such news clues would be put directly into the filing cabinet, pretending not to know, and then taking them out to cause trouble when the time is right.
But Gretchen had more on her mind. There were three hosts on "Fox & Friends," and she was just the last one.
Anchors without power are just puppets of producers and directors.
Gretchen thought for a moment, picked up the phone and made a call. When the call came through, she said, "Hi, it's me, Gretchen. Do you have time for Roger? I want to meet him."
"Wait a moment." It was quiet for a moment, and then said: "You can come up in half an hour."
"Thank you." Gretchen hung up the phone and quickly went to change clothes.
She took off her regular clothes and put on Roger's favorite short skirt, stockings and high heels. She went to brush her teeth and spray some perfume.
When the time was almost up, Gretchen took the news clues, took the special elevator upstairs, and arrived outside the office of Roger Ailes, the emperor of the Fox Television Network.
Entering the office, the meat-like Roger Ailes sat on the single sofa and waved to her: "Come here, come here, let me see you."
Gretchen is used to it, and habit is a terrible force.
She will not feel ashamed, but will make full use of them in exchange for the resources she wants.
Gretchen gave Roger a full service.
But Roger won't make important decisions just because of these.
He read the information and said coldly: "Someone wants to use Fox as a knife."
Gretchen tentatively said: "The other party belongs to Deep Blue and stands opposite us."
Roger didn't say anything, but thought about who got the information.
The first thing that came to his mind was Arnold Schwarzenegger.
This guy was a candidate put forward by some people on the red side and was preparing to compete with Gray Davis for governor, but there were also opposing voices within the red side.
Is he preparing to provoke a more intense red-blue war in order to win the full support of the red side?
The powerful Fox is not afraid of Ackerman. Strictly speaking, the two sides are not of the same magnitude.
Based on Fox's political stance, Roger Ailes thought for a moment and said, "Well, if you can check it out, if you can find the actual content, don't report it yet. Send it to me."
Fox needs to take the initiative first.
Gretchen achieved her goal and quickly left and returned to the office.
She found her right-hand assistant, Harley, and handed the information into her hands: "Study these carefully. In the next period of time, you and your news team will be responsible for investigating this news. Don't make any publicity about the results and send them to I’m here.”
Harley was originally depressed, but Gretchen came here and cheered her up.
As a young reporter who has just entered the industry, Harley is full of energy and her idealism has not been completely extinguished.
She flipped through the information a little and found that a girl similar to herself had disappeared. She felt somewhat sympathetic and a little bit like a girl helping a girl. She said, "I will investigate clearly!"
