Reese was a little upset at first when she suddenly received the news of King's departure from MGM, but then she was terrified to hear that the reason was that Xiao Gang had disappeared and one of his lovers had been shot dead in his room.

"How so? Isn't Xiao Gang filming a movie with Anna? Where is Anna? ”

"The matter is very important, and Miss Gianna has followed. However, Mr. King told Miss Reese not to worry too much before leaving, and the parade could go on as usual. ”

At this time, MGM's assistant walked in and said to him, "A sponsor is here today." ”

"Sponsors?" MGM said, "We didn't invite any sponsors, did we?" ”

"No," said the assistant, "but we've been making so much noise these days that even the president's campaign team has been in contact, so it's normal for some businesses to come now, right?" ”

MGM frowned and said, "But didn't we even refuse the president's election team?" Now the merchants who come here are even more unnecessary to agree, right? ”

"Boss," said the assistant, "the presidential campaign team has a political tendency, and if they want us to help them in the election, isn't it because of this that the boss and Mr. King will refuse?" ”

MGM nodded, "That's right, don't sue me, these merchants don't plan to let us do additional performances, it's just pure sponsorship." ”

The assistant nodded excitedly, "That's right, they really didn't ask for this, it's just a pure sponsorship, if there is any request, it's just that when the time comes, he will come on stage and present Miss Reese with a bouquet of flowers, and for this he is willing to sponsor ten million dollars." ”

"Ten million dollars?" To be honest, 10 million dollars is nothing in MGM's mind, and the big bosses of film companies who have shot hundreds of millions of dollars in movies care about this? But it's different for Legally Blonde. Because it is a small-cost film, the total investment in filming does not exceed 20 million, and if you count half of Gianna's investment, 10 million is equivalent to all MGM's investment.

If this doesn't make him tempted, then another thing is enough to make him tempted, that is, the advertising effect of this sponsorship on the film itself, which is a catalyst for the Oscars, you must know that 10 million US dollars is equivalent to the price of the advertising shot by the top actors, and Reese's worth at this time is far from the top actors.

is even more attractive to Reese, such a sponsorship can directly increase her value as an actor, which is a great thing, and her salary will have this factor in the future.

"So, what kind of business is this," MGM said with interest.

"My name is Joseph Stephen, and someone at the door said that a personable boy walked in, and if Mr. MGM had been to Las Vegas, he would have known my last name."

King and Gianna arrived at Xiaogang's home five hours after the incident, while the police were still collecting evidence at the scene and forbidding everyone to approach it. However, this ban apparently had no effect on King and Gianna, who managed to enter the scene.

King glanced at the scene and said, "Xiao Gang shouldn't have been there when that woman died. ”

"Isn't it there?" Gianna said, "How can King confirm this? ”

"There is no trace of a move, Xiao Gang, it is impossible for you to follow any kidnapper without saying a word, not to mention that these guys killed his woman in front of him."

"Maybe she's unconscious," Gianna said, "maybe that's how she was taken." ”

"No," King said, gesturing to the marks on the bed, "they obviously stayed here all night. And as long as he wasn't ambushed, Xiao Gang would still be taken away unconscious? Is this still my student? Even if you are drugged, it is impossible. ”

Gianna's complexion changed slightly, did he even think of this? "Since he was taken away by an acquaintance, it is very likely that the assistant director and his own assistant called him away, so the two men were not co-disappeared, but prisoners or accomplices. However, if that's the case, why would they go back and kill that woman? That's a weird thing. ”

"Really?" Gianna said quietly, "It's really hard to imagine, does King have any clues?" ”

King shook his head, "There's more to observe, but at least one thing is for sure, Xiao Gang is still alive." Because according to the cruelty of the prisoner, if he died, he would be abandoned like that woman, and he would not be missing. And I haven't been contacted yet, so it's clear that the target isn't against me, so it's worth investigating. ”

Gianna suddenly had a sense of frustration, yes, I didn't think about it, I should have found someone to blackmail the king at that time, in this way, the king can mistakenly think that someone is trying to plot against him, so that the chance of exposure in the future will be even smaller, but at this time it will be too late to say anything.

"Let's split up," said King, "Anna, you use your Smith eyeliner, and I'll use the black gold one." ”

Gianna really didn't want to go separately, so she didn't know what King would find. Although she cut off all the routes leading to herself, she couldn't keep an eye on King, which always made her feel uneasy, and she knew that King's opinion was the most conventional and undeniable opinion, so she could only agree.

Looking at King's distant back, the bar manager said, "Do you want to send someone to keep an eye on him?" ”

"That's looking for death," said Gianna, "not to mention that now is the time when he is most alert, even in normal times, no one is qualified to follow him, no one can do it, now there is only to wait." ”

At this time, the bar manager's phone rang, he listened a little, didn't say anything, hung up the phone, "Miss, it's in, Reese has agreed to go to Joseph's dinner." Of course, MGM will also be participating. ”

"Well, that's undeniable," said Gianna, "and the old man can't make any difference." ”

Joseph's invitation is indeed unrefusal, it is the principle of a boiled frog in warm water. If he had sponsored Reese in the first place, he might have been rejected by MGM. But he didn't, at first he just said to send flowers, MGM had no reason to refuse at all, on the contrary, he would be grateful. Then he sent flowers after the parade and sent 10 million to MGM's account in advance, which immediately won everyone's favor. At this juncture, he proposed to invite all the crew to a dinner, which is not to refuse. He even regretted why King was not there. This kind of rhetoric not only fooled the simple Reese, but even the veteran MGM did not expect such a big family to have such a bad heart.

Originally, the crew didn't drink so much wine, but they didn't know that Joseph would have a lot of tricks, although they were all transferred from gambling, but like magic, it was very good-looking. So as a color head, of course they are embarrassed not to continue drinking, and today's wine, why is it so easy to get drunk?

The Smith Company personnel who remained nearby watched as Joseph personally sent Reese home, and of course, there was no Reese's home here, only Joseph's, and closed the door.

Gianna listened to the report relayed by the bar manager and smiled coldly, "The goddess has fallen, now it depends on whether Joseph wants to have her for a long time or dump it after playing." ”

"Well, if you want to have it for a long time, it's enough to have tonight's experience and photos," said the bar manager, "Reese has no resistance to this." Even in the United States, such a video of Cheng dù would certainly not be accepted. ”

Gianna nodded, "It's not perfect, but Reese has finally been cleared. ”

(Joseph prepares a dinner party at Gianna's request, gets Reese and the party drunk, and takes her back to his home.) Even if it was King, it would be impossible for him to rescue her from thousands of miles away, and besides, it would be impossible for him to notice that incident. ）
