The Wolf of Los Angeles

Chapter 56 The legendary champagne

William Morris' office building is still busy on Sunday.

Danny received a fax and hurried out of the office, pushing open the door of the conference room next to her with a bang.

Hawke, Johnson, Edward and Caroline, who were chatting, turned their heads together and looked at the door.

Hawke reacted the fastest: "Has the data statistics come out?"

Danny nodded and said with a hoarse throat: "The first weekend box office statistics of "The Scorpion King" are $14.55 million on Friday and $16.21 million on Saturday. It is expected to be around $11 million today, and it will definitely exceed $40 million on three days of the weekend."

Hawke was the first to applaud, stood up and stretched out his fist: "Congratulations, Mr. Box Office Champion!"

Johnson first fisted Hawke, then hugged him and shouted, "We are the box office champions of the horse!"

Hawke let go of Johnson and went to hug Dany Garcia.

Caroline next to her automatically backed back: "Hey, hey, hey, let's forget it. Your cheap clothes will damage my Chanel."

Hawke didn't even look at her, and hugged Edward again.

Several people in the room were hugging each other to celebrate, except Caroline.

This made her feel rejected inexplicably.

Johnson came over again, fisted Hawke and said, "Your plan is unconventional and wild, but I have to say, it's really useful!"

Danny added: "Universal Pictures' most optimistic estimate before, the film's box office was up to $35 million in three days in the first weekend, and now it's $40 million!"

"An incredible experience," Johnson said.

Caroline couldn't sit still and looked for her presence: "Hey, everyone, it's time for us to open champagne!"

Dany asked someone to get champagne.

Johnson went out in person and brought a few handbags.

He first handed one of the envelopes to Hawke: "The remaining fifty thousand dollars check is inside."

Hawke took it and looked at it, stuffed it into his pocket.

Johnson also gave each person present a gift package according to the gender of men and women.

He first entered Hollywood, with limited connections and power, and he didn't have much to rely on. He said specifically: "It depends on everyone to succeed this time. I have prepared a little gift. You can see if it suits you."

Danny took the lead in disassembling the gift box, which contained the Rolex women's watch.

So is Caroline, but the styles are different.

Hawke also took it apart, and the gift box was a log-type Rolex gold watch.

Even the silent Edward has Rolex.

Hawke is not polite and accepts it directly: "Thank you."

The champagne was opened and the atmosphere in the conference room was quite lively.

But receiving the final payment also means that the contract between West Coast Studio and Johnson's party has officially ended.

Hawke had a drink with Johnson and actively sought new business: "What's going on with Alison Fies you introduced last time?"

Johnson briefly said: "The new record company is soliciting new songs for her, and she is also trying to create them. It is now the preparation period, and it is not time to promote it."

He can only help with the introduction: "Joanna has learned about your operation this time and will call you if they need it."

Hawke said no more, called Edward, went downstairs to prepare to leave.

When he arrived at the hall, the sound of his high heels falling to the ground came from behind. Caroline came from behind and said, "Rumbrella..."

Hawke stopped, "Miss, is there anything wrong?"

Caroline was still thinking about it: "Have you deleted the photo?"

Hawke had no choice but to say, "I didn't tell you that the photos were only taken from the wall."

Caroline raised her eyebrows and said, "I can't believe you." She stretched out her hand and said, "Give me your phone, I'll believe it after reading it."

Hawke thought that Caroline was Sarah Parker's public relations, and had an idea, and quietly gestured to Edward: "Let's learn from the ewes to scream."

Edward quickly turned on the recording function of his phone.

Caroline was indeed as shameless as Hawk expected, as if an ewe in heat, spreading her red lips in flames: "Ba! Baa! Baa..."

This sound is winding, like a woman's.

But Hawke said, "You can look at my phone, but I want to see you too. How do I know you didn't take my photos secretly?"

Caroline didn't want to give it to her, but she was called by the ewe. Wouldn't it be a loss if she couldn't see it?

She took out the Motorola and unlocked it and handed it to Hawke.

Hawke took out the Nokia for daily use and gave it to her.

There is nothing shameful on this phone.

Caroline quickly looked through the album and quickly found the photos of the corresponding date. There was no such thing as her camel foot, which was really a picture of the wall of the conference room. At the same time, Hawke successfully found Sarah Parker and Bro Derek's private contact numbers on Motorola's contact list and wrote them down.

Caroline looked at the album and returned it to Hawke: "Mine."

Hawke returned Motorola to her and waved his hand, "Goodbye."

Caroline raised her head, carried her Hermes, stepped on red high heels, twisted her perky little butt, and left the door with a slight thump.

Before she got to the car, Sarah Parker called and asked her to have dinner together in the evening to discuss some of her personal promotional plans for next week's Sex and the City promotion.

Caroline returned to the company, found the copywriting she had already formulated, and became familiar with it again.

She developed a complete personal publicity plan for Sarah Parker, which will be officially launched after the promotion of Sex and the City in Los Angeles.

Sarah Parker was dissatisfied with his current results and wanted to re-enter the film industry. When he had dinner with Caroline in the evening, he made a request to wait until the end of the year to win the Best Actress in the next Golden Globes TV Awards. .

A heavyweight award will help her further her career.

For Caroline, it is a good thing for customers to have ideas and requirements, so that public relations can make money.

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

...

Sherman Oaks, Mid-mountain luxury residential area.

It was dark in the night, and Hawke sat in the driver's seat, raised his telescope and looked at the mansion of Sarah Parker and Bro Derek, dozens of meters away.

The lights there suddenly went out.

Hawke continued to look through the street lights, but no car came out.

Suddenly, red and blue lights flashed and a patrol police car approached.

Hawke knew that he couldn't hide, so he simply didn't leave, so he asked Edward to stay in the car and not move. He took out the card given by Erica in advance and got out of the car.

The police car was parked nearby, and a patrolman got out, saw Hawk's appearance clearly, and asked, "Are you in trouble?"

Hawke held the card in one hand and let the patrolman see: "The car just sounded strangely, check it."

The patrolman illuminated the card with a flashlight, recognized it, and said, "Need help?"

Hawke smiled, "I've done it."

The patrolman was about to return to the car and said politely: "If you have any trouble, call 911."

The police car left with lights flashing.

Hawke glanced at the card in his hand and said it was very useful.

He got into the car, observed it with a telescope, and said, "Go back, there will be no gains today."

Edward started the car and walked forward: "Boss, it would be very troublesome if I parked here myself."

Hawke understood and said, "Don't be aware of it anymore. We'll sneak into the Sex and the City event to see if we've gained anything."

He pondered for a moment: "Tomorrow we will go to the theater where the event will be held and get familiar with the venue first."

"We've done Sarah Parker's news once." Edward met Hawk because of this and asked, "Want to do it again?"

Of course Hawke couldn't tell him the truth, saying, "Last time, the storm fell on Donny. Sarah Parker was forgiven by Bro Derek and was almost unaffected. I think this couple is abnormal, maybe we can do it from it. Dig out bigger news, the stimulation of cheating is extremely great, Sarah Parker can't give up, and following her should gain."

This comes to what Edward is good at: "Yes, once a woman cheats, she will cheat constantly. I have seen it."

Hawke asked, “Has something happened?”

Edward, a god-level figure, suddenly fell silent.

The next morning, Hawk came to the Burbank Nova Theatre like an ordinary movie audience.

He entered the ticket hall, watched the movie poster next to it, and finally stood in front of the promotional poster of "Sex and the City".

Tomorrow night, Sex and the City will hold a fan meeting here, and all the main creators, including Sarah Parker, will attend.

Hawke confirmed the time was correct and went to see the theater diagram again. In addition to the main entrance, there were two fire safety passages.

One of them is connected to the backend, and ordinary audiences cannot get over it.

Hawke came to the ticket gate and bought two tickets tomorrow afternoon, one of which was as high as $39.9.

The average movie ticket is only about $7.

The crew does not expect this to make money, but treat it as a screening program.

Not a big fan, few people are willing to spend so much money.

Hawke got the ticket and found that there were texts on it, and he was not allowed to bring any shooting equipment to the venue.

He left the theater and did not leave immediately. He circled around the theater for a few more times, carefully checking each exit.
