Chris's assistant is a young man named Matthew Milton, a top student at New York University School of Law, proficient in business law and tax law, and it is no problem for him to be Xu An's consulting lawyer, he can basically deal with all kinds of problems that Xu An can encounter in a short period of time, even if he can't deal with it, he can also consult Chris. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Of course, Xu An needs to pay a not low consulting fee for this, $300 per hour, which is considered a friendship price.
After leaving House, Xu An went to the Golden Rose Theater to watch Bruce rehearse for their new play.
In fact, in just a few days, nothing could be seen at all, it was still the same old-fashioned play, but as the performance approached, the actors rehearsed harder, and not only Emily, but also Bruce and Rachel could see the obvious anxiety.
Xu An didn't tell Bruce about his intention to prepare a new script, for fear of distracting Bruce and undermining their confidence, but just told Emily secretly that he had found someone to learn how to arrange, and he could continue to write the script after a while.
After watching the performance, Xu An returned to the apartment.
The first thing he did when he got home was to rummage through all his belongings again, but unfortunately he still didn't see the voice recorder that might have key evidence!
The pen seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, Xu An looked for it several times but couldn't find it, and everyone who called his former colleagues said that they hadn't seen it, and Andrew was seriously injured that day, and he couldn't take a voice recorder when he was sent directly to the hospital.
Xu An couldn't imagine where this key voice recorder had gone.
Since he couldn't find it, he simply gave up looking for it and devoted himself to writing instead.
It took him five days to complete the rest of the story of "Twilight", but it was only a first draft, and he had to go through it again, after all, he had changed his name and changed a lot compared to the original book.
Five days later, he saw Lance on CBS TV's "The Jim Allen Show" on his computer.
"The Jim Allen Show" is CBS's ace talk show, and it is also one of the highest-rated talk shows in the United States, rated as "the best talk show for the whole family to watch together", Lance probably chose this show because of these points, and CBS obviously understood the timeliness of the tragedy that happened to Lance, and temporarily interjected this interview.
Xu An listened to Lance and said that the Boulder Random Publishing Company also played a lot of roles, and the public relations ability of large companies can be seen.
Jim Allen is the most famous host and comedian in the United States, and has won the love of audiences for his light-hearted and humorous hosting style, including audiences of almost all ages, and can be said to be the most average fan age of American talk show hosts.
Xu An brewed a cup of coffee, sat on a chair and watched silently.
This interview was different from usual, Jim changed his usual casual and exaggerated dressing style, and put on a black suit that he had never seen before, which surprised all the viewers.
Some people even thought that Jim was going to try a change, and some people expected him to prepare a serious nonsense.
"Today we have a special guest, Lance Cherson...... Forget it, guys, you must be saying, 'Hey, who's Lance?' Jim, did you mispronounce the name'...... Well, let me tell you who Lance is! ”
Jim turned his gaze to the sofa next to him, and the camera also moved, Xu An saw Lance in a gray suit appear in the picture, he was dressed very energetically today, and he was very relaxed, and he was really relieved when he was on the show.
"A few days ago, a serial murder case shocked New York and shocked the whole United States, a total of 5 young girls and the mother of one of the girls were killed, and the police who were supposed to protect us failed to solve the case! The man who captured the murderer was a hero, a hero named Lance Cherson! Let's salute the heroes! ”
Jim introduced loudly, while not forgetting to satirize the incompetence of the police, the audience, who originally had some lack of interest, couldn't help but mention a trace of interest when they heard this, a single person to catch the police can not do anything about the vicious gangster, a very legendary story!
Personal hero ideas have always been in demand in this country!
The camera pans to Reims again.
"Hello everyone, I'm Lance, I'm sorry to disappoint you, because I'm not Jim's hero, I'm just an incompetent father and husband!" Lance said in a deep voice, "My little angel Kelly and my beloved wife Natasha died under the murderer's butcher's knife not long ago and left me forever ......."
When Lance said this, some of the audience at the scene and in front of the TV couldn't help but exclaim, and many people who followed the progress of the case also realized Lance's identity, and a female guest at the scene screamed in surprise and covered her mouth with a complicated expression.
Surprise, sympathy, admiration, all kinds of emotions hit everyone's mind, making it difficult to tell what it was like.
"Before the show started, Lance told me that you might need to have a serious interview, and I wanted to tell him that this is not my style, but I can't help it, I can't refuse at all, because I'm also a father, a husband, I can understand Lance's sadness, and at the same time, I admire his bravery and strength even more, OK, welcome to tonight's Jim Allen show, I'm Jim Allen, this is Lance, tonight, let's listen to his story together......"
As Jim Allen said, this is a completely different style of talk show, no laughter and scolding, no gags, some people listen, some people cry, everyone accompanies Lance to experience everything he has experienced.
"I'm like everyone else, I have a loving wife, we met by chance in the park, it was love at first sight, we fell in love, got married, and then had the crystallization of love, for our little angel, I worked hard with Natasha, told her a goodnight story before going to bed, promised her to go to the playground together on the weekend, because of work always disappointed her, but finally squeezed out time to take her to the ......"
Lance's experience is what most people have experienced, love, family and family, there have been passions, surprises, and blandness and small contradictions, but after all, they are irreplaceable relatives.
"I watched her, from such a big and small lump of flesh, to such a big mass, to this big, and then to such a big one." Lance smiled and gestured, so that all the parents who were watching the show couldn't help but smile, and also made many children feel the love of their parents, "She will sit up on her own, she will crawl, and then she will walk and run, she will go to school, Natasha said that my daughter has entered puberty, and I began to worry about whether my baby will be stolen by some bad boy, but one day, she did not come home after school!" ”
Like all disasters, it's always a surprise to suddenly find out that your loved one is gone, what would it be like to be like?
It didn't feel like anything at first!
Do you wonder if she didn't come back from school? Went to a friend's house? Playing in the park and forgetting to go home?
Lance told everyone: "When you are not impressed, maybe it is when your family is suffering, because we don't think so, we may miss the best time, the murderer is my neighbor, if I find out that Kelly didn't come home on time, maybe everything will be different...... But I didn't! ”
Jim Allen didn't have much room to play, he was like he had lost his ability to host, listening to Lance tell all this in a daze like a normal audience, with tension and concern on his face.
"I gave up my job, started drinking heavily, got drunk all day long, and at that time if I was given a hiroin, I would not hesitate to inject it, I didn't even notice Natasha's abnormality, when I ran away from everything like a coward, she was the real hero, she never gave up tracking down the murderer, and finally found the clue......"
With pain on his face, Lance seemed to return to that dark life.
