The Wolf of Los Angeles

Chapter 18 Don't eat soft food

Country music floats in the log-style bar.

"What to drink? Whiskey?" Eric reached out and showed the dazzling Rolex gold watch. He poured wine for Hawk and said, "The Highlands of the District can't enter the theater."

Hawke was slightly surprised: "Didn't Castle Stone Film buy out the copyright?"

"They will directly push into the DVD and video tape market, and if they are fast, they can appear in audio and video stores after the Oscars," Eric said.

"It will be seen by thousands of viewers after all," Hawke said.

"I'm still lucky compared to most directors." Eric toasted Hawke: "With Catherine invested me and met you in Park City again. Without you, this movie could not be sold, I would be Katherine If you abandon it, you will never have a chance in the future…”

Hawke vaguely said, "Catherine is good to you."

Eric shook his head: "A director who has no successful work cannot elevate the style of a rich woman. What's the use of keeping him?"

He pointed at Hawke: "And you, man, have bought me the opportunity to continue filming."

Hawke poured wine for the two: "Looking forward to your next work being released soon."

Eric obviously had an idea: "I'll ask you to do film operation at that time, and you are the most powerful in this regard I've ever seen."

"Thank you." Hawke was a little satisfied.

Eric's next sentence was heartbroken: "Of course, I haven't seen a few movies operating."

Hawke quickly adjusted his mindset: "It's not movie operations, I'm good at media operations."

Eric drank several glasses of wine in a row, and the drunkenness was aroused. In addition to wealth, power and beauty, men also had a big hobby, bragging.

He pounded the table and said, "When I open a film company, please serve as the director of media operations."

Hawke also drank wine and spoke without much scruples: "Catherine can agree?"

"I have money to start a company, why are you looking for Catherine!" Eric said in his heart: "Who is willing to go eat that thing if you can raise funds normally to make movies!"

Hawke continued to pour the wine and said, "Do me some help."

Eric said, "As long as I don't let me eat that thing, everything else is easy to say."

Hawke suspected that this guy would leave a shadow for his life, and he said, "Help me promote my reputation, you don't have to do anything. If someone calls you to ask about my operation, can you tell the truth?"

Eric was surprised: "Have you succeeded many times?"

Hawke reiterated the old saying: "The crews I have worked with all consider themselves to be victories in the art of film, and my work is insignificant."

"Shit!" Eric picked up the glass and ran into Hawk: "Someone doubts, just ask him to call me."

Everything is difficult at the beginning, Hawke opened up the situation at the film festival, of course he had to continue and make more money.

The two had not finished drinking a bottle of wine yet, and Eric received a call from Catherine and had to say goodbye in advance and go back to the hotel to accompany his girlfriend.

"Get someone's money and follow their arrangements." He picked up the wine glass and drank it all, reminding Hawk: "Don't eat soft food!"

Hawke said, "Don't worry, I'll eat it even if I have soft rice."

Eric didn't understand, waved his hand and said, "I will go to Los Angeles next. If you go to Los Angeles one day, remember to contact me."

Hawke had another drink with him: "I will contact you when I need it."

Eric left staggeringly.

Hawke looked at the remaining wine in the bottle and simply poured it on his own.

The melodious country music on the stage was replaced by jazz. Hawke hummed a few words, and the chair next to him was suddenly pulled away and someone sat down.

The female reporter Jinna hooked her finger and asked the waiter to send a new wine glass, asking Hawke: "Drinke alone?"

After the waiter brought the wine glass, Hawke poured her wine and said, "There are two now."

Jinna came here for her purpose: "Is there any big news?"

Hawke did not answer, but asked, "The news response in the morning was very good?"

"Explosive effect." Jinna was in a good mood and took a sip of wine: "This is the first time in the history of Sundance Film Festival, which attracted the attention of the entertainment industry across the United States. What's even more incredible is that George Hansen's intestines were still ruptured. …”

Hawke was a little surprised: "So serious?"

Jinna followed up and learned about the situation: "The thing I took out is nearly seven inches long, it's crazy."

She leaned closer: "This George Hansen opened Pandora's box and opened a very bad head. In the future, there was copyright competition between the two crews, maybe they would pull the other's power switch. In the future, the movies would pull the power switch. Feel strange."

Hawke clinked her a glass of wine: "Don't you like this kind of business war? The news is particularly attractive."

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

Jinna returned to the topic just now: "If you have similar big news to me, money is not a problem."

Hawke shook his head: "If such news were everywhere, I would have made a fortune long ago, so I would have to drink here? The hotel is called with two Hollywood female celebrities, which is not as fun as the bar."

Jinna looked up and down at Hawke, obviously not a rich man. She took out a business card and said, "Call me when I encounter news. As long as the news is valuable, I will give you an informant fee."

Thinking of the $1,000 I made in the morning, Hawke asked, "The bigger the event, the more valuable it is?"

"It's basically the case, but some industries are special." Jin Na said roughly: "For example, I mainly run entertainment. The same incident happened to celebrities and the news value is very different from that of ordinary people."

She gave an example: "What if it was Spielberg who did this? A $100,000 might not be able to buy the video."

Hawke nodded slightly.

Jinna continued this topic: "Let's talk about Hollywood, there have been rumors that Tom Cruise is a veteran, and Us Weekly and News of the World privately offer millions of dollars to ask for his photo or Someone really took the video and became a millionaire immediately…”

But Hawke smiled: "There is still a possibility that he will be sent to the universe by the bigwigs of the Science Church to see their supreme god."

Jinna agreed: "So, if you want to be in this industry for a long time, you must stop when you see it, and don't mess with people you shouldn't mess with."

Hawke has gained something from this female reporter and ordered another bottle of wine.

Hawke, a practitioner in the fake media industry, also took the opportunity to get a lot of talk from Jin Na.

Jinna drank too much and wanted to pull Hawk home to study the camera.

Hawke won’t take advantage of others when he drinks too much, so he won’t say anything about A. If he vomits, it will easily leave a shadow.

He drove the man home in Jinna's car and Hawk walked back on foot.

He obtained a possible useful information from Jinna. The Brazilian crew called "Invaders" is preparing for a media movie meeting, hoping to gain some fame and gain attention from the North American film industry.

Hawke went back to rest, woke up the next day and started collecting information about the crew.

This time it was not just Brand, but even Larson and several deputy commanders came to help.

It’s much easier to get a successful case and win a second business.

Hawke went to meet with director and producer Bedo Blunt, who called Eric and Castle Stone Films and signed an agreement with him without thinking for too long.
