The Wolf of Los Angeles

Chapter 101 You get your name, I get your profit

The Santa Monica Yacht Club, more than twenty vehicles painted with LAPD badges, surrounded the entire dock.

There are still vehicles coming here one after another.

The large-scale dispatch of LAPD naturally alarmed the media, and some reporters stood outside the alert belt to shoot.

On the ship, Hawke had already copied the video of the recorder into his laptop and waited for the follow-up.

Erica reported to the police station immediately. The police station chief was also the first group of people who rushed over and was asking her about the incident alone.

If there is video recording, this matter will be relatively less troublesome.

Before Erica passed, she told Hawke that she had notified her family.

As early as the Robert Downey Jr. incident, Hawke guessed that her family background was not simple.

In the yacht hall, Johnson watched the brigade of police officers boarding the ship one after another, searching the yacht in detail, and asked Hawke: "Do you want to call a lawyer?"

Hawke said, “Wait first.”

Katherine said, "Just say whatever you need, I can bring a lawyer team here."

At this time, Hawke discovered that after Robert Downey Jr. was shot, the Officer Susie who had been to the studio also came.

There was also a young brown-haired man who accompanied her on the boat.

These people went to the rear of the yacht and entered the cabin where Erica was.

After waiting for a long time, Susie led the way into the hall. She recognized Hawk, nodded slightly at him, and said, "We have an important matter to discuss with Mr. Hawk Osmon and Mr. Dwayne Johnson. , can the rest go to the banquet hall first? We have prepared morning tea."

Erica and the brown-haired man came in from outside and said to everyone, "Please trouble everyone."

Hawke, Johnson and Erica saved their lives. Seeing Erica say this, the rest of them stood up one after another.

Before leaving, Eric said specifically: "Boss, call immediately when you encounter trouble."

Hawke nodded.

Dany stayed: "I am Dawn's wife and agent."

Erica closed the hall door and introduced Susie to everyone: "This is Susie Police Officer from the Parker Center, LAPD headquarters."

She also introduced: "This is my lawyer, Brian Ferguson, and he is also my cousin."

Several people shook hands one by one.

As Hawke shook hands with Brian Ferguson, the handsome guy asked, "Are you the one who asked Erica to go out to sea?"

"That's right," Hawke said.

Brian lowered his voice: "It's very tricky. I haven't seen anyone ask her out for a night."

How thick-skinned Hawk said: "It means I'm very charming."

"Everyone, please sit there." Susie said at this time: "I came on behalf of LAPD and wanted to talk about the follow-up handling of this matter."

Hawke sat on a long couch, and Erica sat next to him.

Susie said: "We learned about the situation in detail, watched the recorder video of the incident, and LAPD also conducted a detailed survey of the yacht. The number of drugs seized this time is rare in recent years."

"Now the transcript is done, when will we be able to leave?" Danny, who spoke, knew very well, and the agent was about to rush forward: "Daone, Hawk and Erica are all heroes. They saved all the ship people."

Susie smiled and said, "LAPD did not mean to force you, so let me, the head of media public relations, talk to you about the follow-up matters."

Hawke asked directly, "Can you tell me what you plan?"

Susie said: "This case must be widely promoted by LAPD, which will allow Los Angeles citizens and all taxpayers to see the results of LAPD's work. So the video will be broadcast publicly and Erica will become a hero."

Brian responded, "Erika needs this result, too."

Hawke doesn't understand how to handle the case, but he is professional in playing the media and public opinion.

Hearing the two of them, he said, "The recorder is worn on me and I will shoot the entire process. According to the News Act, the copyright of the video belongs to me."

"It's true," Brian said.

Hawke wasn't polite either: "I have a certain say in this matter, so it's okay."

Susie had dealt with Hawk, and Erica of the Ferguson family still had a different relationship with him, and immediately said, "Of course."

Hawke said again: "I haven't shown up all the time, so I just pretend I don't exist when I promote it."

Erica looked at him, "Daun and I can't do it without you."

"I'm not a public figure, I don't need these." Hawke was not an open-minded person, so he naturally had other thoughts and his eyes fell on Johnson: "My friend Dawn, participated almost all the time, with fearless courage and Heroic spirit knocked down two bandits with bare hands."

He asked Danny and Johnson: "What do you think?"

This matter is very consistent with Johnson's character, especially when he is about to play the leading role in "Anti-Terrorism SWAT team".

Danny said: “Daun is an actor and needs exposure as well.”

Susie said seriously: "LAPD thanks Mr. Johnson for his feat, and we will truthfully inform him of everything Mr. Johnson has done."

"We reached a consensus on this." Hawke certainly would not talk about specific matters on behalf of Johnson: "Dani, what to do later? If you talk to Susie, it involves media publicity, you can find Miss Me."

Dany nodded at him.

"Now after talking about Dawn, let's talk about my rights." Hawke was not polite if he should have fought for: "I will authorize the video to LAPD for free, but there is a prerequisite."

Susie could only follow Hawke's rhythm: "Please say."

Hawke said: "I will specify the copyright of the media premiere of the video. I can make sure that the other party's position is completely biased towards LAPD and will cooperate with you in the future."

Susie thought of the show on Channel 11: "Midnight Entertainment?"

She had a different opinion: "We will hold a press conference at least two hours later. The video must be played after the press conference to dispel all doubts and characterize the incident. It is impossible to wait until 11 o'clock in the evening."

Hawke was prepared: "Can I contact the media? Let her come and have an interview."

"I need Fox's position to be LAPD," ​​Susie said.

Hawke pushed out lightly: "She comes over and you guys talk."

Susie thought for a while, “Yes.”

Hawke went to the other side of the hall and took out his cell phone to make a call.

Megan Taylor on the other side connected and asked, "Didn't you go out to sea? Are you back so soon?"

"A serious incident happened, but I can't tell you now. I can only tell you that I am a member of the person involved and took the whole process." Hawke said directly: "Super explosive news, social depth and entertainment are full of all, If you want, bring the cameraman to Santa Monica Yacht Pier in person.”

Megan said, "You wait." She pressed the caller, "Claire, I need to know now what happened to Santa Monica Yacht Pier."

Claire paused slightly and quickly said, "Does of LAPD police cars blocked the entire dock area. Now a large number of reporters have rushed over. On Channel 11, Gretchen has personally brought the cameraman."

"Take the cameraman with you and we'll go there right away." Megan said to the phone, "I'll set off now."

Just as Hawke was calling, Dany and Johnson whispered, and called Caroline.

Brian stood up and gave his cousin a look, and the two quietly came to the window.

He pointed Hawke on the other side with his chin: "What is this guy doing? Susie has taken the dominance from him."

Erica glanced at her cousin, still looking so clever, and said, "Haoke is the founder of West Coast Media Entertainment Studio, who specializes in crisis PR consultation and business strategic planning."

"Hauck himself is really capable in the current situation." She never underestimated herself: "On the other hand, I sat next to him."

Brian understands: "It seems that my brain should be given more serious business."

Erica glanced at Hawk and said, "You have done so many bad things that you can't do one day. You can ask Hawk for help. Remember to bring seven figures, eight figures are better."

But Brian thought of a good idea: "It's easy for people who do this business to get into trouble. I can be a lawyer for him and let him help me deal with those bad things for free."

Erica was too lazy to talk to this stupid guy with insufficient brain capacity anymore.

Hawke came back from the phone and said, "They will come soon."

Susie looked at the table below and was still full of time. She asked Hawke a few words and called the people below.

On the outside of the dock, a yellow cordon blocked a large area, and several police officers patrolled back and forth, preventing reporters and paparazzi from stepping over the line.

Some brave guys hired speedboats to sail to the sea and were driven away by the inspected police speedboats.

Anyone with a little bit of news knows that something is so great that something is happening on this yacht.

Gretchen arrived with his men more than ten minutes ago. He was stopped outside the guard belt at this time, so it was useless to contact people and make peace.

The stricter the LAPD is, the bigger the news.

Gretchen kept calling and walked around anxiously.

Suddenly, she found Megan on the same channel coming with two people, accompanied by someone from LAPD.

Before she arrived at the warning area, there was a LAPD helping her pull up the isolation belt.

Gretchen almost rushed over and called Megan: "Why are you here? Can you get on the boat?"

Megan said: "Time is tight, and now is not the time to speak."

Gretchen is a smart man who knows how to compromise at this moment to get benefits, and said, "Take me up there, tonight's "Ace News", we are co-hosting."

"Sorry, this is not something I can decide." Megan kept walking through the warning area and boarded the yacht. Entering the yacht hall, she saw Susie who had worked with, Johnson and his wife, the policewoman who shot Robert Downey Jr., and Hawke.

Megan greeted him one by one.

Hawke said, "I want to talk to her alone."

"Please." Susie didn't talk nonsense.

Hawk put on his laptop and took Megan into the small hall next to him, clicking on the video for her to watch.

Because the recorder turned off several times in the middle, the video was divided into several segments, but Hawk took all the key parts.

The transactions taken at high places are not clear, but you can vaguely see what happened to the figure and what happened in general.

The lighting conditions in the cabin are very good, and the gunfight is enough to tell who is who is and whether there are weapons in your hand.

After the video was played, Meghan asked the first question: "You are not injured, are you?"

"No." Hawke said: "This was taken with the recorder you sent. This time I went to sea, I encountered some crew members trading with Mexican dealers..."

He quickly told the story.

No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!

Megan was very happy: "I want the video, you offer it."

"$300,000," Hawke said.

Meghan subconsciously wanted to refute.

Hawke stopped her and said, "This is a series of cases involving a Mexican emerging dealer organization called the Mule Gang. LAPD will then launch a series of targeted attacks. Haven't you always wanted to do social news? Not digging deep into celebrities. Interested with crime? This is an opportunity.”

He said before: "There are several conditions that you must achieve, otherwise I can only cooperate with others."

Megan made a gesture of asking for help.

Hawke said again: "LAPD will hold a press conference at 11:30, and the news will be broadcast at 12:00 at the latest. You cannot get the corresponding news period, and I cannot sell it to you."

"I'll make a call." Megan took out his cell phone and called the office of the channel director Cynthia.

Hawke took his notebook out of the hall, leaving space for her.

Before long, Meghan came out of the hall and said, "I've done it. Today's midday news session will be mys and will be broadcast on time at 12 o'clock on Channel 11."

Hawke said, "You talk to Susie about the rest."

Meghan directly found Susie to discuss propaganda matters between the two sides, and Danny quickly joined in.

The Fox TV platform is big enough.

Hawke called Erica and Johnson to the other side.

"Guys, there's one thing." Hawke does things and is not vague when it's time to be bright: "I sold $300,000 in the video taken on the boat..."

Johnson understood what he meant and interrupted directly: "I got my name, you deserve it."

Erica said, “This is what you took.”

Hawke stretched out his hand and said, "Okay, I won't be polite. In this matter, the three of us are offensive and defensive alliances."

The three of them had just fought hard together, and Erica reached out and put it under Hawke's hand.

Johnson's hand landed on Hawke's hand.

Hawke reminded: "I have heard that the Mule Help is cruel and ruthless. After you two are exposed, please be careful."

Erica values ​​it in her heart, but she says something that suits her style of doing things: "LAPD is the largest armed violent organization in Los Angeles."

"I'll hire a few bodyguards," Johnson said.

In Hawke's view, this incident is also an opportunity to promote Alison.

But Alison was scared out of his psychological shadow and temporarily hid and refused to see others.

No one paid, and of course Hawke wouldn't do charity.

Susie waved to Hawk, and Hawk also went over and joined the discussion.

However, he rarely speaks because of the existence of the video, it is safest to follow up the conventional publicity method.

Half an hour later, Susie disembarked and announced to the media that a press conference would be held in the yacht club hall at 11:30.

The large number of reporters surrounding here immediately dispersed and headed to the club hall to occupy a favorable position.

But Gretchen did not leave because Megan did not get off the boat.

A few minutes later, Hawk took his luggage and followed Megan off the yacht.

A business car drove directly onto the pier and connected Megan, Hawke and Claire.

Although it was a bit far apart, Gretchen saw that compared to when he came, Meghan had an extra Hawk Osmond.

She couldn't help but guess.

The business car drove out of the pier, left the yacht marina, and headed straight for Century City.

On the way, Megan said, "Your business is getting bigger and bigger, and you're all doing it to LAPD."

Hawke said the truth: "It's just a coincidence."

Megan said: "The opportunity comes, whether to seize it depends on ability."

The car arrived at Century City, parked in front of the Forks Building, and the group took the elevator upstairs and entered the "Midnight Entertainment" column group.

Megan clapped his palm vigorously and said, "Everyone is taking action now and adjusting the studio electronic background. We will do the midday news at 12 o'clock today."

Everyone was a little surprised, and the director asked, "Is there any major news?"

"Super news!" Megan said quickly, "the kind that can track reports for multiple periods."

An associate producer immediately took the action.

Megan ordered Claire: "Go and apply for $300,000 in funding. Director Cynthia has approved it, go now."

Claire is busy.

Hawke was about to go to the reception room, wait for the agreement to sign, and then receive the check.

Megan called him, "Is there time tomorrow morning?"

"Not in the morning." Hawke explained: "Today's work is not over yet. I need to go to LAPD to supplement the transcript tomorrow and go through some documents to store the documents."

His fishing, hunting slingshot and fish dart were temporarily left by LAPD.

There was a sudden commotion at the door of the program team. Megan turned to see it and whispered, "Cynthia Rosberg is here."

Hawke looked over there and a middle-aged woman came in at the door.

It's hard to say about appearance, but the surname should be Jewish.

Meghan introduced both sides.

Cynthia shook his hands gently and said, "I've heard of you and often get big news."

“Indeed, I have provided Fox TV with many headlines,” Hawke said.

"Good work, do it well." Cynthia drew a big pie: "Fox will not treat every partner unfairly."

Megan and Cynthia went to the producer's office.

Hawke waited in the reception room for a while, and Claire brought the agreement.

As before, Hawke signed the authorization agreement and quickly got the check.

At 11:30, LAPD's press conference at Santa Monica Yacht Club began on time, and Susie came on stage to inform the yacht drug trafficking case and the murder of crew members with guns.

Then, Dwayne Johnson and Erica Ferguson took the stage.

Susie highlights the heroic feats of the two in this case.

Director Eric Ethan, actor Lauren Hashian and the captain of the yacht also came on stage and expressed their gratitude to Erica and Johnson.

But there are many media that raised doubts on the spot. For example, many reporters believe that in the narrative of Eric and the other two, they were sleeping soundly because of drugs that night and did not witness their actions.

Susie didn't explain, nor did she let Erica and Johnson refute it.

It was almost twelve o'clock in the afternoon, and the large screen in the hall lit up and adjusted to Fox TV Channel 11.

Then, many reporters discovered that Meghan Taylor, who was originally doing entertainment gossip, became the host of midday news.

In full view of everyone, Meghan broadcasts the scoop.

Several videos captured by the recorder were played out through the TV screen.

The hall fell silent for a moment, with only some of the voices in the video with noise.

When the video is played, I don’t know who will applaud first in the hall.

Then everyone applauded.

Someone else was shouting, "You are heroes! Erica Ferguson, you are heroes! Dwayne Johnson, you are heroes too!"
