Chapter 171 Walking with Paris
The plan is to have a wealthy daughter pay the bill, so there is no need to worry about financing. Twitter is a good platform for broadcasting, and Hawke can also recommend it to Fox TV. This alone saves most of the trouble of Hollywood projects.
While Hawke is responsible for the creative ideas, Eric assembles his team of professionals to turn the ideas into executable project plans.
Catherine is fully responsible for the production work.
The three people had a clear division of labor, and it took only two days to come up with a practical variety show plan.
The project is titled "Walking with Paris."
That's right, Hawke came up with the name after Paris's bag-carrying girl, Kardashian.
The shooting schedule was finalized, and Hawke called Rooney.
That afternoon, Rooney Chasen came to Twitter with Paris Hilton and the girl carrying the bag.
Hawke introduced them to Eric and Catherine.
The latter shook hands with Paris: "We met in New York, when you were still studying."
Paris thought about it: "I remember you. You lived in the Upper East Side at the time and were also a member of the socialite circle."
"I'm a filmmaker now," Catherine said.
This made Paris a little curious: "How did you successfully enter the film industry."
Catherine looked at Hawke: "Because Hawke helped me operate, I succeeded easily."
The other party was also a drunken woman before. Paris' confidence in Hawke soared and she asked him: "What's your plan?"
Hawke handed two copies of the plan to Paris and Rooney Chasen respectively: "You guys take a look at it first."
Rooney took it and looked at it carefully.
Paris also read it carefully with rare seriousness.
Kardashian looked from Paris to Hawke, also wanting a plan, but no one paid her any attention.
Rooney looked at it for a while and asked Hawke: "Is this design to highlight the contrast?"
"Yes, the contrast. The daughter of a super-rich family does ordinary things for ordinary people. This kind of contrast can bring super fun to the audience." Hawke emphasized: "This is what Paris naturally possesses. Advantages that ordinary stars and actors cannot imitate. Paris’s life and media exposure in recent years have also made her irreplaceable in this regard.”
Paris scratched her face: "It seems a bit interesting. I can show off my life and do something that interests me..."
Rooney thought it was good: "I think the idea is very good." She is a responsible public relations manager: "Which platform will it be broadcast on?"
Hawke said: "Twitter or Fox TV, the latter I contacted, they need to see the demo first."
Paris is not the kind of person who needs to think carefully before taking action. She is very impulsive and will do it if she thinks it is good: "This plan is feasible and it suits my taste!"
Hawke planned it based on Paris' daily style: "I plan to shoot three issues first to see how the market responds."
Paris said: "Isn't the third phase a little missing?"
"The planning and shooting cycle of this kind of program is short." Hawke is very responsible when doing things with money: "Let's see the response first."
After all, Paris comes from a business family, so she still has some business acumen. She nodded and asked the key question: "What is the budget?"
Hawke estimated the budget higher: "$3 million for the third phase."
Rooney interjected: "The budget is a little high."
Hawke simply explained: "We need to rent a top-notch mansion for filming."
Paris answered automatically: "I have a big villa in Malibu, and I haven't lived in it since it was renovated."
Hawke nodded: "Do you have close contacts with various big brands? We need to rent everything from clothes to jewelry to some daily necessities..."
"Don't go to such trouble." Paris said directly: "I have too many of these things. Later I will ask someone to find a few trucks and transport them to the villa."
No one here, not Hawke and Eric, nor Rooney Chasen, wanted to talk to Paris Hilton.
No wonder Paris Hilton is so hated, she always shows off her acumen when speaking.
But Paris has one good thing: she is particularly happy with money: "Three installments of US$3 million, that's it."
Hawke said: "With the funds in place, the crew can be set up today. Please prepare the Malibu villa as soon as possible. Eric and his team will be all in place tomorrow."
Paris looked at the girl carrying the bag: "Jin, go back to the hotel, and the contact person will pack up all my clothes, accessories, and daily necessities and transport them to Malibu. You can get the key over there."
When the girl carrying the bag hurriedly left, she said to Hawke: "You can go there tonight."
Hawk looked at Eric.
If the client invests enough money, Eric can get a good reward. Rich people have motivation. He said: "I will start preparations tonight."
Hawke looked at Paris and said, "In order to promote the show, you still have some work to do."
This program meets Paris’s needs and personality, so she cooperates: “You tell me.”
Hawke not only said to Paris, but also to Rooney Chasen. He looked at the latter: "Remember, before the show goes online, you still need to do the following work."
Rooney took out the notepad and pen she carried with her.
Hawke said: "Let Paris' lawyer sue Rick Solomon and make it as high-profile as possible. It is best to start a media war with the other party to attract media and public attention."
Rooney is very good at these and said: "Leave it to me."
Hawke then said to Paris: "You don't need to change the pace of your life. You should still eat, drink and have fun when you should, and still maintain a high-profile lifestyle. It doesn't matter if it is more high-profile than now."
Paris laughed: "I'm very good at these." She was also thoughtful: "In order to attract more attention, I will drag Britney to eat, drink and have fun together."
Hawke praised: "Good idea."
Rooney answered: "Britney is famous for being brainless, you can control her." Paris smiled even brighter.
Hawke continued to say to Paris: "Sign up for a Twitter account, and we will give you traffic and popularity. You can show off your wealth on Twitter."
Paris nodded: "I'm also good at this."
At this moment, her senses about Hawke were extremely good. He did not preach. Although he had instructions, what he said and did was to let her continue to do what she liked.
Continue to show off your wealth and continue to enjoy your enjoyment.
Hawke stood up and clapped his hands hard: "Guys, let's move."
Everyone went about their business.
After everyone left, Hawke looked at Edward: "Is Rooney Chasen okay?"
Edward whispered: "Campos' people followed for a few days and found nothing unusual."
Hawke nodded slightly: "Let them continue to follow."
Edward went to make a phone call.

Hawke convened a meeting with Caroline and Haaland to discuss the feasibility of broadcasting "Walking with Paris" on the Twitter platform.
This requires adding a video column.
The timing is not very suitable right now.
Then he called Megan Taylor.
Fox Television Network has a dedicated movie and television channel with high ratings, and also broadcasts some variety shows.
Although Megan Taylor was the matchmaker, they still had to see the samples first.
The budget is sufficient, and Paris also sponsored the shooting location and all the props and costumes, so let’s shoot the first phase first.
The next afternoon, Edward drove into the bulletproof Mercedes-Benz and took Hawke to the seaside villa area in Malibu.
Paris's sea-view villa covers an area of nearly two acres and has a swimming pool, beach, lawn and more.
Inside the double-storey villa, everything from decoration to appliances to furniture highlights luxury.
Erica's villa in the Silver Lake community was down by more than one grade.
Hawke entered the villa, and Eric was directing people to install camera tracks in the open kitchen area.
This is not a studio, so it is not particularly convenient for shooting, and many places need to be coordinated.
Fortunately, Paris is very generous. As long as it is for filming, the decorations and furniture in the villa will be moved and dismantled.
Hawke came to a large living room that had been specially vacated, which was filled with all kinds of women's clothing, as well as a large number of daily and kitchen utensils that had just been purchased.
The first issue of "Walking with Paris" mainly shows the daily cooking skills of this wealthy daughter.
This is certainly not an ordinary day.
Eric came over after finishing his work.
Hawke said to him: "At the beginning of every issue, Paris will appear in gorgeous clothes, wearing the best evening gown and appearing in her luxurious villa."
Eric nodded: "There are a lot of top-notch custom-made fashions here."
"It needs to be shiny." Hawke warned: "The first choice is diamond or gold."
Eric understands: "Create a sense of luxury."
Hawke pointed to several pieces of fashion with glitter or diamonds: "Paris likes this style very much. This kind of luxurious clothing is easier to create a contrast."
He came to the kitchen utensils area, picked up a frying pan spatula, and said: "Although a spatula like this is a big-name kitchen utensil, it is not qualified for photography."
Eric took it and looked at it: "It is already a top-notch kitchen product."
"There are no diamonds on it." Hawke pointed out the problem: "The spatula must be studded with diamonds. Natural ones are too expensive, so we use artificial diamonds or rhinestones. Our aim is not to be easy to use, but to be the most expensive!"
Just in time, Paris came down from upstairs.
Hawke picked up a pair of evening gloves and said to her: "With a slight modification, these can be used as gloves for your work in the kitchen."
Paris asked curiously: "How to change it?"
Hawke said: "Cut off part of your fingers to make it easier to work."
Without saying a word, Paris picked up the scissors, took the gloves, and cut off the fingers: "Is this okay?"
"The style is ready." Hawke took it, pointed to the back of his hand, and said, "It is inlaid with gems, rubies, sapphires and diamonds."
Paris's eyes lit up: "I like gloves like this. You can show off your wealth when cooking!"
Hawke picked up an electric iron from the daily necessities and said, "Let's modify this one too, inlaid with gold and diamonds."
Paris asked: "Ironing? I don't know how."
Hawke shook his head: "Don't iron the clothes, use it to show off your extraordinary cooking skills and iron the bacon."
"Okay! Okay!" Paris clapped her hands excitedly.
A creative person with a big brain, paired with a rich girl with a cramped head, is simply invincible.
During the preparation, there was an aura of wealth and nobility that was bright and blinding.
