America gains both fame and fortune
Chapter 540 Great Sacrifice
Chapter 540 Great Sacrifice
Over the weekend, with the help of Coca-Cola's channels and resources, Martin held the first informal gathering of the Coca-Cola Cult at the Los Angeles Country Club. Many well-known figures who had registered on the official website received his handwritten invitation.
In addition to Leonardo and Nicholson, many heavyweights in the industry also participated, such as Jolie and Aniston, two opinion leaders of Meitu, Robert Downey Jr. and his wife, Daniel, who has been working with Martin and Louise for a long time, and so on.
There are also many people from outside the industry, many of whom come from other places, and all related expenses are paid by the income from Martin's portrait in the commemorative Coke.
For example, Neves from the FBI, McClain from the LAPD and so on.
These people may have joined such an obviously playful organization out of curiosity, or because of Martin's relationship.
But when I arrived at the scene, I found that there were owners of fashion and film companies, well-known critics, Hollywood stars, directors and producers, powerful figures in official American violence organizations, liberal opinion leaders, and even state legislators. I immediately realized that this was an excellent social platform.
Some people even took the initiative to find Martin and asked him, the leader of the Coca-Cola Cult, to hold more such gatherings across the United States in the future.
During this period, Martin also received a call from White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel.
Ram expressed his interest in the gathering and invited Martin to Washington to host the next gathering of the Coke Cult.
During the party, Martin specifically talked to two old friends, Neves and McLean.
Together they concocted a famous Russian espionage case and made huge profits from it. McClane is preparing to compete for the next Los Angeles Police Department chief.
The loose organization of the Coca-Cola Cult began to transform into a platform.
After the party, Martin stayed with Daniel from Warner Bros. to talk alone about the Inception crew and the copyright of The Hobbit.
The former threw all the blame on Harvey.
The copyright of the latter involves huge profits, and Martin doesn't need to say more.
"If he knows what's good for him, he should give up the copyright on his own initiative," Daniel said directly, "instead of trying to snatch Warner's copyright."
Martin continued: "Unfortunately, Harvey has never been a man of sense."
Daniel smiled and said, "Not only is he ignorant, he also wants to control everything."
Martin knew that it was not that he was ignorant, but that the interests involved were too great.
If he were in another position, facing the huge copyright income from The Hobbit, could he give it up so easily?
Daniel then said to Martin, "Harvey has offended all the top executives at Warner Bros. I, the producer of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, was severely scolded by him. Not to mention Barry Meyer and Alan Horn. If killing people was not against the law, Harvey would have been killed by them a hundred times."
Martin said directly: "Harvey has been smooth sailing over the years, but he is too domineering and will eventually fall."
Daniel understood what Martin meant: "He'd better fall down quickly and never get up again! Believe me, Martin, Warner's fast-moving car will definitely run over him."
Before he left, he said to Martin: "I forgot to tell you that Warner plans to adapt The Hobbit into a trilogy, and I am still the distribution producer."
Martin already knew this, so he found Daniel and said, "Congratulations."
Daniel said: "If the copyright issue cannot be resolved, all the preparation work may be wasted."
“There’s always a way around it,” Martin said.
…………
Outside a hotel in New York.
Lukaku was sitting in a car, pressing the monitoring button and recording at the same time.
"Is there any big news?" Courtois asked.
Lukaku shook his head slowly: "Sienna Miller invited a group of female models to a party. It's not a big news... They mentioned Martin Davis. It seems that Angela Lindwall said that if you want to join the fashion supermodel group, you must complete a test."
The car door opened from the outside, Hazard got in with a burger in his hand, and asked, "What are the conditions?"
Lukaku said: "The only condition for joining the fashion supermodel group is to sleep with Martin Davis. This is what Carolina said, and everyone else agreed. This group of sluts opened a handicap to bet whether Georgina Chapman can meet this condition this year."
Courtois was disappointed: "Why didn't their condition include sleeping with me? It's easy for me to sleep with someone!"
Hazard stuffed a burger into his hand and said, "Isn't Georgina Chapman the wife of Harvey Weinstein whom we investigated some time ago?"
"Yes, that's her." Lukaku added, "She is also a fashion brand designer. According to Sienna Miller and Angela Lindwall, it seems that Martin introduced her to the American fashion circle..."
Courtois said: "I remember Xavi and Martin were at odds, but Xavi's wife had a good relationship with Martin. The entertainment and fashion circles are really messed up."
Hazard ate his burger with a big mouthful of food: "Think about the data we collected. Compared with what Xavi did, this is nothing."
There was a sudden knock on the car door. Courtois looked up and saw a strange man. He lowered the window and asked, "What's the matter?"
Ivan handed him a business card and said, "I'm a reporter from TMZ. I want to buy something from you."
The other party was about to close the window, and Ivan put the check in his other hand halfway into the window.
The three men immediately invited him into the car. Ivan said directly, "I got the news from your newspaper. You have investigated Harvey Weinstein and have some explosive news about him."
In view of the money, Azar said: "You can find out such secret information. TMZ is really amazing! We did find out a lot of things. The editor-in-chief wanted to publish it, but a Jewish guy at the headquarters suppressed it and all the explosive materials were deleted."
Ivan said: "You didn't keep a backup?"
Hazard shrugged and spread his hands again.
Ivan took out another check and placed it on his lap.
Seeing the number on the check, Courtois wanted to speak up, but Hazard said first: "Really not."
Ivan nodded and took out another check: "You keep it in your hands, don't you want to sell it for a good price?"
The three of them looked at each other and reached a tacit understanding through their eyes. Hazard put down the burger in his hand and said, "Double the price. Not only will we have all kinds of explosive videos and recordings, we will also provide you with the phone numbers and contact information of several victims who are willing to come forward."
Ivan stretched out his hand: "Okay."
Hazard shook his hand: "Deal!"
The three reporters were very professional. Even when Hazard was negotiating with someone, Lukaku still sat in his seat and continued to eavesdrop and record Sienna Miller's party.
He heard Georgina Chapman say: "I'm going back to Los Angeles and hosting a fashion party and I'm going to invite Martin to come."
Lukaku couldn't help but sigh, Martin is in danger!
…………
Just after Ivan bought their information and returned to Los Angeles, Bruce, after receiving the notification, called Jody.
The two met in Bruce's car as they did in the past.
Jodi put on exquisite makeup and looked exceptionally pretty. If you ignore the fact that her face is a bit flat, she can be called a beauty.
"You haven't come to see me for a long time, Old Bu." She felt an inexplicable resentment: "Now that you are rich, have you forgotten me, your old friend?"
Bruce said, "How could that be? I've always remembered you. There's big news, so I came to find you right away."
Jody took over a lot of Bruce's news and business and said, "You guys are going to start hyping it up again."
"No hype this time." Bruce handed her a USB drive: "Old friend, I'm giving you a good opportunity to win the Pulitzer Prize."
Jody said, "It could also be a big pit."
Bruce pointed to the USB drive and said, "Take a look first."
Jodi opened the laptop she brought with her and played the video in the USB drive, which contained a self-narration from an unknown actress, describing how Harvey Weinstein had sexually assaulted her.
Her face turned serious: "That's it? Pulitzer Prize? Old Bull, are you kidding me?"
Bruce reminded: "Finish reading."
Jodi opened the next video, which was less than two minutes long. It was a video of Harvey Weinstein molesting a girl. The process made her, a woman, feel very uncomfortable.
Then there was another recording, and the voice sounded a lot like Harvey.
After listening to this, Jody asked, "Is that all?"
Bruce held up a pinky finger: "These are just a few."
Jody was determined to get the news, and her first reaction was to rush forward and expose the truth. But her mind told her that things were not that simple, so she said, "That's Harvey Weinstein! My career might be ruined!"
Bruce said: "If your future is ruined, I will give you a large sum of money so that you don't have to work hard in the future and you can live a rich life."
This dispelled some of Jody's doubts. Many problems ultimately come down to money.
"Think about it. The Pulitzer Prize is the highest honor for a journalist. With your current career development, it will be difficult for you to get this award in your lifetime!" Bruce knows Jody. She is a woman who dares to take huge risks. "It is true that Harvey Weinstein is very powerful, but because of this, once his true face is revealed, the rewards will be extremely rich. The risk is proportional to the reward."
He specifically mentioned one person: "I saw with my own eyes how Helen of Warner Television succeeded. Even when bullets were flying, she kept following Martin and me."
Jody still has doubts: "TMZ may suppress it."
Bruce had already seen through it, and Jody didn't want to refuse at all: "If your boss Harvey Levin doesn't want to report it, I will sell it to someone else. One more thing, I bribed the paparazzi of the News of the World to get these. The Sun is headquartered in the UK. If no one reports it for a long time, they will also expose it. Do you think they care about Weinstein?"
Jody closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said, "Okay, give me everything. I am the deputy editor-in-chief now and have the power to independently publish news and pin it on the TMZ homepage. But I won't publish it right away. This is too crazy. I want to watch the video and meet the person involved in person to ensure that I kill him with one blow!"
Bruce said, "No problem."
"I have one more condition." Jody stared at Bruce: "Old Bruce, you have to stay with me for one night!"
For the future, both Martin and Old Bull made great physical sacrifices.
