Hollywood Road

Through lawyer Robert’s relationship with the police station, Bill Rossis quickly figured out the causes and consequences of the incident. In the whole incident, except for the Catholic who actually attacked Murphy, the rest can be said to be attributable to Daisy’s fault. On the individual side, fortunately, they did not act too harshly. The Catholics just suffered some skin injuries and it was not a major problem, otherwise they would be quite troublesome.

Robert had already gone to the police station to meet Daisy, and the few of them had no idea that there were reporters around, nor did they know where the reporters came from.

Subsequently, Bill Rossis personally contacted the reporter according to the number provided by the company's mail room, and agreed to meet in Stanton's studio in accordance with Murphy's will.

I was in Stanton's studio because Murphy was going to meet the reporter in person. After all, this might affect his overall plan.

As for whether the impact is good or bad, it depends on how to operate.

"The other party is a freelance reporter."

In the office of Stanton Studio Gal Gadot, Bill Rossis told Murphy and Gal Gadot, "It is not affiliated with any media or group, and is mainly engaged in the business of shooting news and then selling it to the media and TV stations. ."

Gal Gadot looked at Murphy, "Isn't this the same job you did in the first place?"

"It sounds the same." Murphy put his right hand on the armrest of the swivel chair, held up his chin, thought for a while, and said, "Freelance journalists have fewer scruples and are more difficult to deal with than media reporters."

As far as he knows, many freelance journalists start things more boldly than reporters who belong to the media.

"He might offer a very high price?" Gal Gadot asked.

"Hmm..." Bill Rossis nodded, "It's very possible."

Murphy smiled, "It's me, with such a news in hand, especially after the exposure, it seems to be very unfavorable to us, and it will definitely cost a big price!"

Gal Gadot couldn't help shaking his head. "How much can you ask for?"

"When I was a freelance journalist, how could it cost more than US$300,000..." Murphy thought for a while, "Now the U.S. dollar is depreciating and the price of news is rising. If he asks for less than US$500,000 , Um... that would not be a qualified freelance journalist."

Bill Rossis and Gal Gadot both laughed, not responding to the seriousness and tension of the crisis at all.

In fact, Murphy does not think this is a crisis event, because there are often opportunities that accompany a crisis.

There was a knock on the door, and Gal Gadot's assistant pushed in and said, "He's here."

Gal Gadot looked at Murphy and said, "Bring him here."

At the front desk of Stanton's studio, the black man was waiting patiently with a briefcase on his shoulders. He saw the person who had hosted him come back and forth. He reached into the briefcase and pressed the record button of the recorder.

"Mr. Williams..."

The assistant came over and made a please gesture, "Go here."

"Okay." The black man named Williams grinned and bared his white teeth. "Thank you."

Following the female assistant, Williams quickly walked into an office. The moment he entered the door, out of professional instinct, his eyes quickly circled the office.

The office is the same as this studio. It’s not too big. The decoration is very elegant. The decorations on the walls are basically movie posters. "To "City of Chaos" are all movies directed by Murphy Stanton.

Then he saw three people sitting around the desk.

The closest to him was a middle-aged man, probably in his early forties, wearing a neat suit. Williams had learned about it before he came. This must be Murphy Stanton’s agent and one of CAA’s partners. Bill Rossis.

His eyes moved slightly and turned to a tall man who looked younger than his actual age, about twenty-five or sixteen years old. The expression on his face was relatively indifferent, and he could not see a trace of peace. Waves.

This is Murphy Stanton!

Williams is very clear that the other person is the real person in the office who can call the shots.

Finally, his eyes fell on the only woman in the office. This woman's slender figure made her look unusually tall even when sitting. The well-fitting professional suit highlights the shrewd and capable temperament, and her long dark brown hair is meticulously combed. Behind his head, he was simply tied into a ponytail, and his bright eyes were looking at him. Unlike Murphy Stanton's dullness, these eyes were sharp like swords.

Although this woman has a slightly larger forehead and a slightly longer face, she is an out-and-out beauty even compared to all Hollywood stars.

It's a shame that such a woman hides behind Murphy Stanton and does behind-the-scenes work instead of continuing to play Wonder Woman.

For some reason, Williams' first thought when he saw Gal Gadot appeared was Wonder Woman.

"Are you Hannum Williams?" Murphy glanced at him, pointed to a chair, and said, "Sit down."

Hearing the seemingly plain, but indifferent tone of the other party, Hannum-Williams felt a little unhappy, but thought of the contents of the briefcase, calmed down a little, and sat on the chair.

Before he could speak, Bill Rossis stretched out his hand and said, "What about things?"

Hannum-Williams frowned obviously, the opponent was condescending, showing superiority everywhere, which made him very unhappy.

Whether it is Bill Rossis, Murphy and Gal Gadot, they all seem indifferent. This is not to say that they are extremely arrogant, but that they have agreed upon a strategy in advance.

Seeing that Hannum Williams did not move, Bill Rossis said with a bit of impatientness, "If you don't let us look at things, how do we know if what you said is true or false?"

"I'm a credibility person..." As soon as Hannum Williams said what he said, he was strongly interrupted by Bill Rossis. "I don't care what kind of person you are. I only deal with you. Interested in the things inside."

"You..." Hannum Williams stuck his throat in one breath, let alone the unpleasantness.

"Mr. Williams!" Bill Rossis looked gloomy. "Our time is precious. If you don't have real materials, don't waste our time."

Although Hannum Williams felt unhappy, he took out an envelope from his briefcase and handed it to Bill Roses. Bill Roses opened it and looked at it and handed it to Murphy.

Murphy briefly browsed the printed photos and could vaguely recognize that the person who was beaten on the beach was indeed the Catholic believer who attacked him. Although the men who beat him did not know him, Daisy still remembered it.

"Is it Daisy?" Gal Gadot didn't know the leader of Murphy's fan organization, and he leaned over to take a look. "Is it him?"

"Yeah, that's right." Murphy nodded slightly, and then continued to look through the photos. These photos were also mixed with photos of the signatures that lined up yesterday. Among them, the boys who beaten up can be seen. "Obviously, they should All my supporters."

Hearing the conversation between Murphy and Gal Gadot vaguely, Hannum Williams smiled slightly, no matter how bad their attitude was, as long as they had these things in their hands, they still had to bow their heads and pay in the end. ?

Great director? What happened to the big director? Isn't it the job of these reporters to ask for what they want?

"Director Stanton..." Hannum Williams didn't even look at Bill Rossis, and said directly to the person who could really call the shots. "I was lucky yesterday and happened to be on the beach in Santa Monica. For this kind of picture, I attended your signing event in the commercial center before and knew this girl as your hard-core fan."

He deliberately piled a smile on his face, which seemed to be enthusiastic. The smugness in it was quite obvious, "I like your movie very much, and I am also a fan of your movie. Although their Haibian attacker is indeed very angry, but I am out Because of professional instinct, I took these pictures."

Murphy looked at Hannum Williams quietly, letting him talk endlessly.

"Going back to my studio, I am worried that these images may affect your reputation," Hannum Williams turned to look at Bill Roses, "So, I took the initiative to contact your agent."

"Oh, it turned out to be like this." From the freelance journalist, Murphy seemed to see his shamelessness at the beginning, but he didn't eat this set at all, and said, "Thank you! If you can send the photos and negatives. , I will be very happy."

He groaned for a moment, "Um...Let's do it, to express my gratitude..."

The smile on Hannum Williams’s face was even brighter, and he said that Murphy Stanton is still more prosperous. How much can he pay? One million dollars or two million dollars? I can't do anything for less than a million dollars! For big directors and super rich people like him, this little money is nothing at all.

How can I get more than one million dollars from Murphy Stanton and sell the video to the media for hundreds of thousands of dollars...

Hannum Williams is very sure of this. Murphy Stanton has a huge conflict with the Catholics. The news of instigating fans to beat Catholics is absolutely worth the price!

In this case, even if he distributes some money to his subordinates as a reward, how can he have a million dollars left, and he can retire early.

Murphy seemed to be thinking about how to thank Hannum Williams. After thinking for a while, he said, "Since you are my supporter, in order to express my gratitude, Mr. Williams, I will send you my signature. Full set of movie Blu-ray discs."

"What?" Hannum Williams seemed to be unable to believe what he heard. "Director Stanton, what did you say? Give me a full set of autographed movie discs?"
