Chapter 452: Cellmates
After Alaska officially became a place of "exile", it did deter a considerable number of criminals.
It's not terrible to go to prison, and after a few years, you're still a "good man".
The horror is to live far from home and forever on that frozen soil of Alaska.
"Bob, I'm not guilty of a serious criminal offense, I'm not going to be sent to Alaska!"
Will Smith is legally illiterate, but he knows what kind of person will be sent to Alaska.
Generally, you will only be sent to Alaska if you have committed serious criminal offenses, such as homicide, robbery, drug trafficking, rape, ...... , like theft, drug use...... Sentences of less than three years are generally served in the state.
"Although you have committed a minor crime, there are two things that qualify for sending to Alaska. "Bob Kahn popularized Will Smith. "First, recidivism, you have a history of incarceration for wounding people, and all recidivists will be sent to Alaska. Second, all those who committed crimes during the crackdown were also sent to Alaska. Now is the Strike Hard Period. ”
If you dare to commit a traitor during the Strike Hard Period, you don't take the law seriously, and since you dare to provoke the government, the government will not show mercy to your subordinates. As for recidivism, needless to say, if you don't cherish the opportunity, then you don't have to cherish it.
John is relatively merciful to criminals, where he came, the crackdown will not be so gentle, the mouth of the little girl who steals kisses on the street will be shot, and the snatching of a piece of a few cents will also be shot, which is like committing a crime of rape now, at most being sent to Alaska.
Will Smith panicked when he heard that he might be sent to Alaska. "Bob, if I get sent to Alaska, it's over, you're going to help me. ”
Bob Kahn sighed, he knew today, why bother.
"Want not to be sent to Alaska unless the governor grants amnesty. I can help you operate, but don't get your hopes up, another client of mine is also a celebrity, and now he has been caught for drug use for the second time, and I helped him go through the path of governor and judge, and his father also pleaded with several councilors, but it didn't work much. "Bob Kahn's leg is about to break during this time, but the governor of California will not let go of his mouth if he does not eat water and rice.
When Will Smith heard Bob Kahn's words, his heart was half cold, and he regretted that he wanted to take a shortcut.
Most criminals usually regret it after being caught, but there is no regret medicine in this world, and everyone must take responsibility for what they have done.
"Will, don't be too disheartened, things are not in a desperate situation, according to rumors, the owner of your agency, Nancy, has a lot of background, if she wants to protect you, maybe you still have a chance to live. So what you have to do now is to let your agency see that you are still valuable and worthy of their dealing. ”
ICM has merged with CAA to become the world's largest agency, so Will Smith is now part of ICM's family of artists.
And Bob Kahn, as a top lawyer in Los Angeles, is very well-informed and knows some more obscure things, such as Nancy is a member of the Southerners of Freemasonry, and the governor of California is also a member of the Southern Masonic faction, and the two are colleagues.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Will Smith came to his senses, and now he would not give up as long as there was a glimmer of life.
"Tell me your bid, and I'll help you convey it, it's better to bid higher so that your brokerage company thinks it's profitable. ”
Will Smith is now a suspect, and he can't see anyone but the lawyer, so he must ask Bob Kahn to help him get the word out.
"As long as the agency can keep me from Alaska, I'm willing to sign them a 25-year long-term contract with a 10 percent higher commission. Will Smith sold half of his life to ICM, but it was much better than staying in Alaska for the rest of his life.
"Okay, I'll go to ICM to help you run it, you wait patiently for news. Bob Kahn also didn't want Will Smith to go to Alaska, he could make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year from Will Smith, and Will Smith was his cash cow.
Bob Kahn left the interrogation room and went straight to ICM, where he found Nancy and told Will Smith what he was offering.
Nancy didn't make a decision immediately after hearing this, but thought about it, if an artist violates the law and discipline, the agency will not guarantee it, unless the artist can bring great value to the agency.
Nancy deduced the prospect of Will Smith, who is now a second-tier actor, and it is not difficult for the agency to push the operation into the first line.
A first-line actor can bring huge value to the brokerage company, not counting the intangible value of influence, the economic benefits alone are astronomical.
Will Smith becomes an A-list actor and can earn at least $50 million a year, and according to the 20% commission, ICM can earn $10 million a year from him, which is $250 million in 25 years.
The figure of $250 million is enough for Nancy to make a move, and if you add intangible value, there is no reason to refuse.
After deciding to save Will Smith, Nancy didn't go home from work, but drove directly to Purple Star Manor, although she and the governor of California are both Freemasons and have a good relationship, she won't go to the governor of California, because she owes favors and helps the company make money, how can she let herself owe favors to others!
When Nancy arrives at Purple Star Manor, she tells Devon Morgan about Powell Smith.
Devon Morgan weighed it and thought the deal was a good deal, so he called the governor of California, and Will Smith's trip to Alaska was canceled, but he still had to spend six months in prison in California, which was a small punishment for him, and taught him a lesson, lest he lose control of his mouth in the future.
............
On the other hand, after Will Smith was interrogated, he was immediately sent to the detention center by the FBI, and the evidence of his crime was sufficient, waiting for the court to hear it.
The conditions of the detention center in the United States are not bad, two people in one room, and the felons and the lighter prisoners are separated, Will Smith is the second to enter the palace, and he does not have much fear of the detention center, handing over the belongings he carries to the prison guards, and after skillfully changing into a small yellow suit, he followed the prison guards into a small detention room.
"Boom!"
The thick iron door was closed, Will Smith stood behind the door with the quilt and toiletries, looking at the heavy iron door in front of him, at this moment he really realized the taste of losing freedom, inside and outside the door are two completely different worlds, even the air is different.
"Hey, welcome to Adland Resort. ”
Just as Will Smith was nostalgic for freedom, a voice suddenly sounded in the room.
Will Smith then turned around and saw a familiar face, and hurriedly walked over in surprise. "Donnie, are you here?"
Locked in the same room as Will Smith is none other than the famous Robert Jr.
Two of Hollywood's future superstars, now cellmates.
"I was wronged by them. Donnie Robert Jr. shrugged. "I just wasn't used to the bed in the drug rehabilitation center, and when I went home and slept in it, they caught me here. ”
Will Smith rolled his eyes. "According to what you say, I'm not more wronged, I just drank a few more glasses and said a few words, and they caught me here. ”
"Come on, I've seen your impassioned speech in the morning. However, to be honest, whether the speech was written by your agent or by you is much better than your performance in "Independence Day", if it hadn't come in, you would have been the best actor at this year's Oscars. ”
At this time, Donnie Robert Jr. was a cynical playboy, and he was very vicious, repeatedly taking drugs, being arrested repeatedly, and the detention center was almost becoming a place for him to vacation.
Donnie Robert Jr. has been arrested a total of six times in history for drug use, but his luck will not be so good in this life, this is the second time he has been arrested, and the most important thing is that he escaped from the gambling center after being arrested, so he will face being sent to Alaska to serve six months in prison, his old father is about to break his leg for this matter, it is really pitiful for the parents of the world!
