The Wolf of Los Angeles

Chapter 109 One-stop Service

West Hollywood, private audio and video store.

There is a huge poster hanging at the door. The main body of the poster is a man and a woman, but the portrait has no head, and is replaced by a line of big characters - "Super Star Agreement Officially Release".

Early in the morning, before the audio-visual store opened, a long queue was lined up at the door, and dozens of LSPs were waiting to buy DVDs or videotapes as soon as possible.

These guys were not embarrassed at all and were discussing Josh and Alison.

As soon as the store door opened, LSPs flocked into the store, scrambling to DVD with the hand speed he had been single for many years.

In just half a day, all the 300 DVDs in stock here have been sold out.

The boss hurriedly called to ask for goods.

On this day, the "Super Star Reunion" released by a private video company set a single-day sales record for Sacred Valley videotapes and DVDs.

Due to restrictions on distribution, some stores do not have special product areas for over 18 years old, which makes this film not as good as the popular "Lord of the Rings 1" in the United States, but in many distribution stores, sales have increased. The top spot in our store sales list.

In less than two days, "Super Star Agreement" sold over 1 million copies.

It is inevitable that piracy appeared on the Internet, and the scope of dissemination was further expanded, and the momentum swept across the United States.

The most talked about topics on various forums, blogs and online communication software are Josh Hartnett and Alison Fies.

Although some people later exposed new photos of Alison on the Internet, the huge scandal carried the sun-like heat and swept everything.

Those have become fuels that boost.

The two also made the front page headlines in many gossip media such as the National Enquirer and the Hollywood Life.

In Los Angeles, various gossip scandals emerge in a row, and it is not easy to get the headlines, but Josh and Alison have reached the top for several days.

The popularity of video recording is the basis, and the sounds Alison made in interviews are the key.

"I make the decision on my body!"

This slogan is so popular among some groups.

Alison jumped out and charged automatically and was pushed into a conspicuous position by them.

Josh Hartnett has always been very responsible. Although his popularity is not as good as Alison, the selfie door also makes people ignore his previous scandal.

The shocking scandal obscured another scandal.

On the third day after the launch of "Super Stars Deal", when the news popularity dropped slightly, Hawke once again asked Alison and Josh to hold a press conference to announce the lawsuit against private video companies.

On the Internet, LSPs who have watched the selfie door have received psychological satisfaction. In the sage state, they all transformed into justice fighters and supported Josh Hartnett, who was full of substitution, to protest against the infringement of private video companies.

According to real-time changes, Hawke asked Will to hire a professional protest company to serve one-stop, gather a team of hundreds of people, and sit in front of the private video company to protest.

Many LSPs who live in the Sacred Valley and are in the time of the Sage also come to join in the fun.

A protest team of hundreds of people quickly gathered in front of the private video company.

Of course, the reporter paparazzi would not let go, and a large number of people came to take photos.

The news here has not cooled down yet. Under Hawke's control, the computer repairman who sold the video was infected by her justice when star detective Erica attended a media event and came forward on the spot.

The maintenance staff also gave an interview on the spot, describing a series of actions such as copying videos from Alison's notebook, reselling them to private video companies, and unable to resist showing off online.

While the media public was also marveling at the personal charm of Detective Erica Ferguson.

The next day, the news released by LAPD caused public protests from Josh and Alison.

The computer repairman was released on bail that night. Even if he walked into court, the result was that the fine and probation were likely to be high.

Amidst this trouble, Fox 11's "Midnight Entertainment" program invited Alison and Josh into the studio, and in an interview with Megan Taylor, he talked about his mental journey in the past ten days.

The ratings of this episode are amazing, and the direct result is that the sales of "Super Stars" soared.

In just over a week, this film set the highest single-piece sales record since the entire Private Group entered the new century.

The popularity of selfie doors has reached the highest level.

At this moment, Western Sound Records officially announced that Alison Fiss will release a new album soon, with the new title "My Body I Make the Lord"!

Then, the first order was released and the lyrics of this song were urgently modified based on Hawke's meaning, which was more in line with Alison's current situation.

After the first MV was released, it was shocking.

The quality of the song is at most medium, but the MV's strong singing and dancing made LSP and the free girls **** again.

Alison's look in the MV really responds to "I make the decision of my body."

In the past, similar scenes may have appeared on certain programs, TV series, movies, or photo posters, but there has never been such a clear camel's sole.

Alison once again took the first-mover advantage.

On the Internet, which is easiest to guide public opinion, Hawke asked Ferge's team to post one after another, calling the camel's foot a new vane of women's freedom, fashion and avant-garde.

Alison's first MV was a big success.

There were a lot of scolding, but there were also a lot of shouting.

But with the support of popularity and the operation of Western Records, Alison's new single quickly entered the top 50 of the Billboard.

This has been successful.

However, if Hawke is not responsible for the subsequent rush, these are the jobs of the record company.

With a serious and responsible attitude, Hawke contacted the Steve Knight incident before the end of his business, Wadell, deputy editor-in-chief of the business of People magazine.

As long as the popularity is enough, the entertainment media doesn't care about anything else at all.

"People" will conduct an exclusive interview for Josh and Alison, and let them serve as the cover characters for the next issue.

At the same time, agent Will submitted Josh Hartnet's information to multiple companies that recruit actors.

Except for a few crews, most of the crew accepted it, and several crews notified Josh Hartnett to attend the audition.

Moreover, the popularity of selfie doors has also attracted the attention of some Hollywood film manufacturers.

Perhaps medium and large production companies are not interested, after all, they don’t know how many scripts they are lying in the script library.

But for some small and medium-sized companies, if this popularity is done well, it is very likely to get money.

...

Culver City, Shelter Pictures.

At the meeting on Monday, the company's three founders, Michael Rutt, David Rimaway and Shirley Strand, met in the former's office on time.

They were former executives of Viscos Film and participated in the production of "The Matrix".

Shirley asked, "How is the copyright of the film adaptation of the science fiction novel "World War"?"

"There's nothing to talk about." David said frowningly, "I just started negotiating with the copyright agent, and Spielberg got into a thrust. We could only offer up to $500,000. The old **** called 500. How do we follow the $10,000?”

Shirley sighed: "Our total investment in our projects will not reach $5 million."

David came up with a solution: "Spielberg's movie is popular, so it's better to create an original script, also called "War Worlds", which will be released in front of Spielberg at that time."

"You're so smart!" Michael praised, took the latest "People" and pushed it to the two: "Look at the cover character."

Shirley recognized it at a glance: "Josh Hartnett and Alison Fies who are so purple recently."

David, who is in the film operation, said: "Behind these two people, there is a PR operation expert who only took more than a month to make Josh who is about to be lost and Alison who has been forgotten. Becoming a well-known popular figure in the United States, saving two dead people is not something that ordinary people can do."

Shirley responded: "Not many people in Hollywood can do these PR companies."

Michael didn't want to say that, so he quickly turned the topic on the right track: "Don't you think this process is interesting? Can it be adapted into a movie? We can also find Josh Hartnett himself to play it, and the topic is full of topics! ”

David thought, "If there are ready-made cases, the script can be completed in one month, one month for preparation, one month for shooting, and one month for post-production, and four months for release and release, and it can still catch up with this year. During the period, I have experienced this wave of popularity.”

Among the three, Shirley is good at scripts, and after a little consideration, she said, "Josh and Alison sued the private film company, but based on past experience, that is, to share some of the commercial income, they reached an out-of-court settlement. In their hearts, the two of them It will definitely be a fire."

The more she said, the clearer the thoughts were: "I have the main plot, the title of the film is "Sanctioner". The male protagonist was photographed by a paparazzi and wanted to get the other party to delete it but was rejected. The paparazzi sold these to Media companies, media disclosed these privacy for commercial purposes, the hero was ridiculed by the media and the public. He sought legal justice but was unavailable and was forced to pick up the gun."

"Good idea." Michael guessed Shirley's plot development mode: "The end of a super cool drama, the hero kills all the way, kills all the **** who participated in exposing his privacy!"

Shirley responded, "That's right, that's it. Josh in reality must be very depressed. We can let him vent his vent in the movie."

David is good at operating and calculated: "Not counting Josh's pay, the production cost is less than $1.5 million."

"There's only one question left now," Michael said. "How can we impress Josh Hartnett and play the leading role, because no one is more suitable than him. If he doesn't have a lower selling point, he will be half the less." Wei said: "The salary of $500,000 plus the later share, you don't need to audition, tailor-made."

Michael nodded, "Yes." He said to Shirley again, "You can get a script and medicinal compendium as soon as possible. With the script framework, I can find someone to talk to."

"I'll write now." Shirley picked up the pen and notebook and left.

The small company means there are not so many cumbersome procedures, and the Sanctuary Film project can make decisions with three people.

...

Burbank, Western Sound Records.

A nanny car parked at the door, and Joanna took the lead in opening the door.

The reporter paparazzi, who had been waiting for a long time, surrounded him and took photos at the car door.

Alison slowly got out of the car and raised his hand to say hello to the camera.

She liked this feeling of surround lights so much.

Suddenly, Alison found two paparazzi lying on the ground, and the camera shot from bottom to top.

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

Not only was she not annoyed, she also deliberately spread her legs when she got off the car.

After taking the photo, a paparazzi immediately got up from the ground, turned around and ran to the car.

He took a photo of the camel's feet and could be sold at a good price.

Joanna and Alison, mother and daughter, especially like to be the focus of the media. They got off the car and walked very slowly, and it took a long time to enter the record company.

The front desk was already waiting at the door: "Ms. Fis, Miss Fis, the president asked the men to go directly to the reception room on the second floor."

The two men quickly went upstairs and entered the reception room. They found that in addition to President Rog, Hawke and his assistant were there.

Joanna hurried forward and said respectfully to Hawke: "There are journalists and paparazzi chasing them on the road. I'm very sorry, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Hawke said kindly: "It's okay, I just arrived."

When the mother and daughter sat down, Roger said, "For the past month, I have witnessed with my own eyes what it means to turn decay into magic. You mobilized half of the paparazzi and entertainment journalists in Los Angeles to serve us for free, and then there is Today's results."

Hawke asked, "Which is the first order ranked on the billboard?"

Alison continued, "No. 33, there is a lot of hope to hit the top twenty."

Hawke knew very well that Western Records would definitely invest resources to operate if they achieved such results.

He doesn't understand the rules of the Billboard, but he knows the operation of Hollywood and the Oscars. Where there are people, there are worlds.

Joanna said with some anticipation: "Hauck, if you can, we want to hire you as Alison's PR manager."

"My charges are very high." The public relations manager on the market did not have the income like him. Hawke reminded: "Because you are Dawn's friend, I only charged you $800,000 for this order."

Joanna opened her mouth and closed her mouth, knowing she couldn't afford to hire Hawk.

Roger heard the reminder that people like Hawke are lucky as partners, and once they become enemies, they feel terrible.

He glanced at Joanna: "This plan goal was successfully achieved, and I will notify the financial transfer now."

Joanna woke up and even though she felt very painful, she called the accountant and settled the final payment she should have paid.

Not long after, Hawke received a call from the bank's docking manager informing him that he had just made two payments totaling $400,000.

The final payment is obtained and the contract is over.

Hawke stood up and said goodbye, shook hands with Roger: "You have my contact information and call me anytime if you need it."

"I will." Roger had other thoughts in his mind. Unless an uncontrollable scandal was exposed, it would be better not to ask him.

On the one hand, the charge is too expensive.

On the other hand, it doesn't feel very good.

Roger always felt that everyone, including himself, was controlled like a marionette.

And the controller is obvious.

Joanna took the initiative to move forward and shake hands with Hawke.

Just as Hawke was about to leave, she turned around and reached out to Edward.

These days, I have too busy work and a lot of pressure. I don’t have time to talk to this black little curse, so I can breathe a sigh of relief now.

Joanna said, "Do I still keep the contact information I gave you?"

Edward laughed two lines of big white teeth: "I will call you if I have time."

"I'll wait." Joanna nodded with a smile.

Hawke had already left the reception room at this time.

Alison chased after it out: "Haoke, wait."

"Is there anything wrong?" Hawke asked.

Alison's body twisted an exaggerated curve: "Do you have time tonight? I'll wait for you at home, thank you very much."

Fearing to get sick, Hawke said, "It's OK to do things with money."

Just as Edward came out, he waved: "Savior, go."

The two went downstairs together and went out to Cadillac. Edward drove off the side of the road and asked, "Where are you going?"

Hawke said, "Go to Sherman Oaks, Josh Hartnett's house, Will has made an appointment with me."

Edward drove west: "Boss, we always finish the final payment smoothly. When I worked with Dad Bull and others, the final payment settlement was always complicated."

Hawke simply said: "Take this time for example, the lawyer I have found is extraordinary, and has a very different relationship with LAPD and Fox 11. You can contact the support of the sister parade, contact the exclusive interview with "People", and write short essays to incite. mood…"

Edward understood: "If they don't pay the final payment, the price will be greater!" He thought of another point: "You will let me record the key points."

Cadillac came to Sherman Oaks and drove directly into Josh Hartnet's house.

Will and Josh heard the sound of cars and quickly walked out of the villa to greet them.

The two of them had smiles on their faces, as if they had encountered a good thing.

After entering the villa, Hawke asked directly, "Looking at you so happy, can you get a heavyweight role, right?"

Josh said: "Heavyweight characters need multiple auditions to be produced, not so fast."

Will took a text and handed it to Hawke: "The president and chief creative officer of Shelter Pictures came in the morning to invite Josh on their heavyweight project."

Hawke took it and looked it up.

Will said again: "This male lead doesn't have to be auditioned. Shelter Pictures tailored it for Josh, and the plot is very consistent with Josh's current situation."

What Hawke saw was a script, and its main line was a replica of the selfie door showing it to the media and the public.

There are many differences, and the biggest difference is that at the end, the male protagonist picks up the gun and makes everyone thrust.

Josh had already tasted the sweetness of turning over and asked Hawk, "Do you think I can take this project?"

When I asked the wrong person, Hawke said directly: "Your agent or manager knows these better than me. If a professional person does professional things, I rashly express my opinions, which is harming you."

"Okay." Josh smiled, "I took the liberty."

Will said at this time: "I think the project is good. Although the investment is low, the operating cycle is short. I can make full use of this popularity. As long as the film makes a profit, we will compete for other roles, it will be much easier."

Josh said, "You call them and I'll give them exact news at most two days."

Hawke returned the text to Will and said, "Our contract is completed."

"Get it." Josh picked up his cell phone and called the accountant.

Because Josh wanted to mortgage an apartment loan in New York, Hawke only charged him $200,000 in the early stage.

The remaining $600,000 will be made soon.
