America gains both fame and fortune

Chapter 285 Specialty Show
Coming out of the business suite, Martin met Bruce and they went downstairs together.

Thomas stopped automatically when he saw Old Bull waving his hand.

Walking a little further away, Bruce whispered, "Ivan is here."

"Where is he?" Martin quickened his pace: "I'll go see him."

Out of consideration for confidentiality and safety, Bruce said: "No need. I'll go find him. If anything goes wrong, it will be me at most. If it gets really serious, you can still help me out."

Martin pointed at him and said, "We are not doing anything illegal. We are just doing what we are most familiar with."

"We are all friends of journalists!" Bruce said with emotion: "How many important clues have we provided to the press? How many journalists' jobs have we saved? We even helped people like Jody get rich. It's a pity that the Pulitzer Prize never favors us..."

Martin said: "The News of the World is bold and ruthless enough. I hope they will not disappoint us."

Bruce said: "Enemy will also be used by you."

Martin stood in front of the window of the passage: "There is no such thing as an unchanging enemy. We are friends of journalists." He still reminded: "If things can't be handled, we can find another way. Yi Wanwan must not get into trouble. You keep an eye on it."

Bruce left.

What happened to the crew prompted Martin to make up his mind that even if the News of the World couldn't deal with Harvey, he would divert his attention elsewhere.

So, he asked Old Bull to shake in a completely unfamiliar face.

There are so many beauties in the industry to date, why do you have to focus on the crew of "Limitless"?
As he was walking back, Martin suddenly remembered something.

It seems that the first time I met Wes Craven was at a fashion party hosted by Harvey Weinstein's fiancée Georgina Chapman.

Remember Georgina was beautiful...

Martin slapped his head and said to himself, "I'm a good man, not a pervert!"

When Martin returned to the suite where he was staying, Aniston had already returned and asked, "Did you see Ali?"

"Yes." Martin didn't beat around the bush: "He said that if you come to WMA, you will be treated like a superstar. WMA doesn't have any superstars right now. You will be the No. 1 customer of WMA!"

The details still need to be discussed between Aniston and Steve and Ali, but WMA's number one client is very sincere.

Aniston rubbed her forehead and said, "I'm tired. Let's go to bed early and talk about it tomorrow."

Martin walked around behind her and rubbed her gently: "Whether you stay or leave, don't be impatient. Think about it carefully before making a decision."

Aniston grabbed Martin's hand and kissed the back of his hand: "I feel terrible now, and there is only one thing that can make me clear my mind."

Martin understood: "You want to make a real-life poster again?"

Aniston opened her mouth and said: "Isn't the 3D real-life poster fun?"

A thorough study and research can always make people forget many worries and return to the original happiness.

Brooklyn Bridge Park has been quite cold lately, and there are very few people after dark.

Ivan exhaled a mouthful of white mist.

It’s also nice to not have to stay in the Beast House as a security guard and go out to see the scenery of New York.

A car pulled up to the curb and Bruce rolled down the window and waved.

Ivan walked over quickly, got on the passenger seat, and asked, "Old Bu, why did you suddenly call me over?"

"I'll ask you to do me a small favor." Bruce handed over an envelope. "Hollywood is full of scumbags. I only trust my old brothers in Atlanta."

Ivan opened the envelope and saw that it was full of US dollars. He couldn't help but frowned: "We are family members, and you are still doing this."

Bruce said, "I can't let you make this trip in vain."

Ivan asked: "Do I need to use a gun? I came here by plane and I didn't bring a gun..."

"What are you thinking!" Bruce punched him on the shoulder: "I just found a stranger and passed the news to the editor-in-chief of a newspaper."

"It's just a small matter." Ivan put the envelope away and put it in his pocket.

This kind of thing is not unfamiliar to me. I have done it several times with Martin and I am very familiar with it.

Bruce took out another envelope and pulled out a photo: "This woman is Rose McGowan, an Italian actress who works in Hollywood..."

Ivan took over and listened carefully to Bruce's description of the details. Harvey Weinstein, who was mentioned in the description, was no stranger to him.

There has been a big star coming out of the Wild Things House, and they are all very concerned about Hollywood and the film industry.

Bruce handed the envelope to Ivan, which included several other actresses besides Rose McGowan.

Martin had been paying attention to Harvey for a long time and wrote down all the related rumors in case of emergency.

Ivan took it and said, "It's no big deal. I promise to do it."

Bruce said, "I'll cover you from behind tomorrow." Hearing that, Ivan quickly moved his butt toward the car door and said, "No, don't cover me from behind, I'm scared!"

Bruce raised his middle finger at him: "You are a fucking man! And a man with a butt so small that it's nonexistent!"

It was a cold winter morning in Manhattan. World News editor-in-chief Mockridge drove alone to the downstairs of the company.

As usual, he got off the car and did not go into the company. Instead, he went to the hot dog shop across the road to buy a hot dog and coffee.

Mockridge found an empty table and sat down, preparing to enjoy breakfast when suddenly a man with golden brown hair in a formal suit sat opposite him.

"Excuse me." Ivan opened the envelope in his hand and placed a photo of Rose McGowan and Harvey Weinstein on the table: "I know who you are. I have an important news clue for you."

Mockridge had encountered similar things before, so he didn't panic or refuse, but listened to the other party patiently.

This is how we get clues to some important news.

Ivan pointed to the woman in the photo: "This is my girlfriend Rose McGowan, who starred in "Scream" and "Elvis". In the past few years, she has been raped several times by Harvey Weinstein. Two of them were suppressed after she reported to the police and reported to the media."

He looked at Mockridge: "Weinstein threatened her, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck also warned her, she was afraid that her acting career would be over, she didn't dare to call the police again, she could only cry secretly at night. After I noticed it, I went to settle the score with that fat guy, but I was also threatened..."

Mockridge looked down and glanced at the photo of Harvey Weinstein.

Ivan was furious: "He raped my girlfriend! And he didn't even use a condom! I couldn't get over this, so I secretly investigated and collected a lot of information. Other media outlets didn't dare to expose the news, but you, the News of the World, are known as the conscience of the industry, so I had no choice but to come to you."

Mockridge still didn't speak. He silently took the envelope that the other party had placed on the table. Inside were several sheets of printed paper with the names of some women, as well as the approximate time and hotel.

Ivan added: "I don't have the ability to vent my anger. I hope to see you expose the true face of that bastard in the newspaper."

Mockridge put away the envelope and the photo.

Ivan got up and left the hot dog shop, turned the nearest intersection and went into an alley.

When he came out again, he waited for a while, and Brooke drove an ordinary car and quickly stopped by the roadside.

Ivan got in the car and was a little excited: "Did you see it? How was my acting?"

Bruce looked very professional and commented in Martin's tone: "It's superficial and too exaggerated!"

Ivan scratched his head: "Is it really that bad?"

Bruce dragged him to the airport: "Stop nagging, just go back to Atlanta, your mother is waiting for you to come back for dinner."

"Okay, I'll go to the airport right away." Ivan did not forget to remind him, "Next time something like this happens, keep looking for me. I promise to get it done for you."

On the other side, Mockridge acted as if nothing had happened. He slowly ate a hot dog and drank a cup of coffee before going out, crossing the street and going to the newspaper office.

There was no urgent business to deal with today, so he took out the photos and materials in the envelope and looked at them carefully.

Harvey Weinstein is somewhat famous in New York. He is a gold medal producer and tycoon in Hollywood, but he does not seem to be a top tycoon. He is more than one level lower than the six major companies.

Because the parent company is News Corporation, which also owns 20th Century Fox, Mockridge is no stranger to Hollywood forces.

In his eyes, this was a person not much higher than Martin Davis.

Mockridge thought about it carefully, pressed the intercom to call his assistant, and handed her the materials: "New target, find a suitable news team and arrange it."

The assistant understood what this meant. The so-called arrangement meant that unconventional means could be used.

Mockridge did not take this matter too seriously. Compared with the British royal family, the Prime Minister's residence, and Washington politicians who were reported in the News of the World, the Weinstein brothers were not that important.

That morning, a three-person team received relevant materials and began collecting information about Harvey Weinstein.

They are on the front line, so if there is no news, they will take the initiative to create news.

Now that the news is right at my fingertips, I will naturally not let it go easily.

But when it comes to people with a certain amount of power, they either keep silent or get solid evidence and materials and strike a fatal blow.

Similarly, following, secretly filming, bribing and eavesdropping are all their specialties.

Bruce saw Ivan off, returned to the Brooklyn Studios, entered the studio, and waited until Martin finished filming a scene before quietly leaving.

Martin asked, "Done?"

Bruce whispered, "The other party accepted the things, but I don't know what happened to them for now."

Martin said: "The News of the World is very bold. They don't care about people at Harvey's level. Normally, they would investigate quietly, get some evidence first, and then expose him or get Harvey to pay."

"I've studied their style." Bruce's employer was so good at making trouble that he had to keep up with the pace: "The possibility of being exposed is even greater."

Martin thought more: "Whether Harvey or the News is targeting us, find someone to pass the relevant information to the fat guy and let him fight with the News."

Bruce said: "You are such a good man, Harvey should thank you in advance."
