Watching Cusa rush in, the last piece of omelette in Daniel's mouth didn't have time to swallow.

It had been a long time since he had seen Kusa in this state.

As Daniel and Scarlett's agent, Kusa is now a power figure in the whole of Hollywood, not to mention, everyone understands that he has a certain influence over MGM and DD Pictures, and even Plutos Investments. In this way, of course, there are fewer and fewer things that can make him lose color.

"You had sex with Natalie?"

Daniel was dumbfounded by Cusa's first words, he didn't talk to Kusa about it, and of course Miller wouldn't talk much, in fact, since he and Natalie had no intention of deepening their relationship, there was naturally no need to think too much about that in-depth exchange.

So, why did Kusa know?

Daniel's face suddenly became solemn.

"What happened?"

Kusa didn't get the answer to his own question, but apparently he got it. Taking a deep breath, since the matter has already happened, there is no need to panic too much.

"As soon as I opened my mailbox today, I received a short clip of you and Natalie at the hotel. Looking at the angle, it should be taken secretly at a certain angle of the hotel. ”

Really!

Daniel was silent for a moment.

He said that he had the complete video in his hand, and at a fixed price of 30 million, he destroyed all the original videos. He also said that we had to give him a definite reply within a week, otherwise he would sell the video to TMZ. ”

"Have you contacted him?"

"I used a different email address and I said I couldn't be sure that he would completely delete the video content once he got the money. If we leave a backup, then instead of enduring his endless blackmail, we should just suffer this loss. You and Natalie are both single, and even if something happens, it won't affect your future. He got back to me very quickly. The tone was very arrogant, saying that we had to believe him. And he doesn't believe that we dare to let this kind of hot video circulate, and even if we don't agree, as long as he sells a few more, it won't necessarily be less than 30 million. ”

……

Soon, everyone was there.

Before that. Daniel to Natalie. Portman spoke on the phone and told them to prepare countermeasures as well, and if they couldn't get along, they might need to be on the same page to deal with the situation.

Natalie was a lot calmer than he believed.

This somewhat relieved Daniel, otherwise if Natalie acted rashly, there might be no room for manoeuvre.

"The most important question now is whether he actually has the full video in his hands."

Daniel rubbed his furrowed brow.

"It should be true, if he placed the candid photography facility and was not discovered, there is no reason to only shoot in front." Trick also had a grim face. This may be the most significant test of his tenure as Daniel's publicist. "Indeed, it's not a problem for you to have a relationship with Natalie, as long as it gets the word out that the two of you are in a secret relationship. The only thing I am worried about is that if these contents are really revealed, it will damage your image very much. ”

Daniel, of course, understands this, not to mention the Chinese teacher Chen, the most famous Scarlett in Hollywood. Johnson's photo leak. The influence on Scarlett is quite large - when it comes to Scarlett, the most people think of "The Piano Man". Or those huge scale photos. This is still based on the fact that Scarlett herself takes the sexy route, and Hollywood stars like Daniel and Natalie who are powerful and have a good image are even more lethal.

What's more, this time it's a full video.

If it is not involved in violating the law, it will be sold directly to the producer of the restricted film. I'm afraid 30 million has already been taken off.

"I know it's very unlikely, but we need to try to figure that out, otherwise we're too passive. Trick, you go put the news out right away, Natalie and I have already communicated. We've been together since the casting of "Black Swan". ”

Trick nodded, he certainly knew what to do. Put a few innocuous news out, give a few photos, a few clues, and wait until it is exposed, and as soon as it is contacted, the credibility of this fake relationship will certainly be higher.

"Although 30 million is too much, if this matter can be completely solved, it is not completely unacceptable."

The other party obviously also knew that Daniel was a fat sheep, and the price offered was unprecedented. After Melissa entered DD, she was not very sensitive to money, things were too tricky, and if it could be solved with money, it would already be a good solution.

"Impossible." Daniel flatly rejected the idea, "It's impossible for the other party to honestly delete all the backups." Even if he really just wants to do this, he will leave things behind, who knows what accidents will happen in life, keep this video, and if there is anything that needs money in the future, there is no need to wait for the Zhongda Lotto. Even if the talks collapse, it is impossible to give him the money. ”

"Trick is going to take someone to start making plans, and if it's going to be made public, we need to downplay the importance of this as much as possible."

Many times, when a thing is seen by different people, it has different effects. So this gives the publicist room to operate, and if public opinion thinks it's not a thing, then it's really not a thing. Tricker now has the vast PR resources of Daniel's team, and both traditional and online media are connected to him.

"The people who were able to take these photos were either from the Black Swan crew or the hotel staff." Kusa frowned and thought, "There is no surveillance on that floor, so it's hard to catch people directly. But check who has been in your room, especially after what happened to you and Natalie. I don't think this person should have that concentration, and dare to stay in the crew or hotel after getting the video, to see if they have left the company recently, if they happen to have entered your room, it's basically not much worse. Don't let anyone else know about this, David. Finch can't either, leave it to Heron. ”

Cusa said and looked at Melissa.

Herron is a producer at DD Pictures, and this time was also one of the producers of "Black Swan". Whether he is trustworthy or not, of course, Melissa knows best.

"No problem." Melissa thought for a moment and affirmed, "And we don't have to tell him everything, just say that he took a picture of Daniel alone." He wouldn't want to offend Daniel. ”

Daniel nodded. "Let him as soon as possible, Cusa you are directly responsible."

Melissa and DD Pictures have been busy with two movies recently, "Saw Horror" and "Wall-E," and they can't find time.

……

Daniel sat alone in his study.

After thinking about it, I picked up the phone and dialed Fred and Mark. Vaughn, Javier's side he didn't notice.

"You get in touch with Kusa and see if you can catch him up."

Daniel and Natalie have a relationship. There was no warning, in other words, it was certainly not to film the two of them in Daniel's room. When I went back, I found a big surprise. So, while there is no way to determine whether this device was placed before or after he went, considering that no one knew in advance that he would be staying in the room. The last possibility of placement before the crew is stationed.

In the other rooms where people lived, the crew had done anti-candid inspections, but only these few rooms that no one lived in were missed.

When you think about it, the hotel staff is the most likely.

It wasn't difficult for them to get the room correspondence list, and if other rooms had this kind of thing, they would have been demolished a long time ago. Only those who were uninhabited were left behind.

"If it's really a hotel staff, then it's probably not professionals. The ability to counter-track is certainly not strong. The technicians on both Shanying and F2F's side are very strong, and I recently heard that F2F and Google Maps have a close cooperation. It's an advantage, and it's a little bit more advantageous on Mark's side. ”

Fred said this after listening to his analysis.

Daniel agrees.

In addition to this, Fred has another suggestion.

"If Heron has news, it should be soon. After locking up the people, if you can use some forces on the New York side. It's not hard to find him. The important thing is not to alarm him, if he doesn't care about sending things out, there is no point in doing more. ”

Since the Mountain Eagle Company has been involved in more and more fields and has become more and more authoritative, there is basically no strict subordinate relationship between Daniel and Fred. Especially this line of work that Fred is engaged in. I know a lot of information, and I also have strong information processing and analysis skills, many things, talk to him, and I can figure it out quickly. So after the meeting, Daniel decided to ventilate the matter with him.

It was the right decision.

Fred knew he had something to do in New York, and it became increasingly clear that the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were a quagmire from which they could not be shaken out. It seems that the current president is also entering a second term, and he does not have to go through an electoral test, and he is not as strict in controlling influence as before. As a direct result, Daniel's previous rhetoric has become increasingly influential – something the Democrats are certainly happy to see. So Daniel, while not showing any definite inclinations, is a super-rich man who often pays for election funds, as well as a prominent social figure with a strong sense of influence, and he has a close relationship with the Democratic Leadership Council (DLC). It is a non-profit organization that has no direct influence on the country, but its members include the Clintons, the former vice president, senators, and governors, all of whom are well-known.

New York is a traditional Democratic stronghold, more entrenched than Pennsylvania. It was relatively easiest for Daniel to ask for help, as long as the person hadn't left New York.

Even if he does leave, it is easiest to find out where he has gone through the channels of these politicians.

After hanging up Fred's phone, Daniel was actually very conflicted.

Unlike Fred, Mark, and even Javier, who he doesn't want to find, if he wants to ask a DLC friend for help, this is purely handing over the handle to someone else, although this may not be a big deal in dark political circles, but from the other party has a request for him, to he has a request for the other party, this change, the possible trouble is difficult to estimate.

This is why Daniel hesitated.

The phone that was in my hand rang suddenly.

Natalie!

"It's not as scary as you think."

"Are you comforting me?" Daniel didn't expect that Natalie still had the strength to comfort him at this time, "Don't worry, I'll arrange it all, if you have anything to do, you can also say, just let Shelly contact Kusa or Trick directly." By the way, is Shelly going crazy? ”

Natasha is not only Shelly's client, but most importantly, she is her daughter, a Harvard graduate, a goddess of extraordinary temperament, who is indeed more dangerous than him in the face of this crisis.

"Pretty much, but seriously, I don't think it's a big deal. Ever since I realized what I do, I'm ready to expose myself to the public. Although this time it is not in the movie, it is not a life-and-death event. ”

"You're in a really good state of mind." After Daniel said this, he clearly heard an angry curse from the other side, and it was obvious that Shelly was also talking on the phone.

She hopes to contact a few people, and if a video appears on the Internet, at least delete it as soon as possible.

If it really falls on a scandal site like TMZ, it's useless to delete it. But this is a significant violation of the law, and TMZ cannot be unscrupulous. It is necessary and of practical significance to strive for space and time for negotiations.

"It's really unlucky, others play harder, we haven't encountered this kind of thing, we are just an accident, and we are so unlucky."

With Natalie's self-cultivation, she couldn't help but curse a few swear words.

"Where are you going to eat tomorrow?"

"The price of the Taiwanese restaurant is not from, it was still Tony. Gilroy took me there. ”

Trick must have been in contact with them, and tomorrow Natalie will fly back to Los Angeles to have lunch with Daniel, and the photos will circulate, of course, gradually, and the clearest and clearest photos will not be taken out until the video is actually sent out.

"I thought you'd treat me to Middle Eastern flavors."

"Since you go out to eat, you always have to eat something different."

As an incomplete naturalized American Jew, Natalie must have eaten a lot of local Israeli food at home.

After chatting with Natalie for a few words, Daniel's tense mind finally let go of it.

The thought that he might be seen naked by countless people made the only remaining obsession in Daniel's heart that belonged to the Orientals extremely uncomfortable.

"Be careful."

Kusa soon called.

"The hotel did have an employee named Rhodes who resigned, a New York native, who was in charge of the engineering maintenance work on that floor before the crew moved in. After you left, there was a circuit failure on that floor, and he went to fix it. ”

Speaking of which, there is no doubt about it.

Rod!

"I'll pass on the specific news to you, and I'll also hand over a copy to Fred, and he'll look online with Mark to see if there are any clues on F2F or MB."

Social networks are developing rapidly, but in fact, many people's awareness of social confidentiality is basically non-existent, and if Ruder Finn uses F2F or MB, he is willing to leave his personal information, such as residence, relatives and friends, etc.

Fred told me his advice. I don't think you should use your connections just yet. "I asked my family to look for it, and the other staff at the hotel provided some clues, and Heron scared them with something you might have lost, and everyone was very positive about it. ”

"Will someone give him a message?"

"Rod's popularity is not good, don't worry about this. Moreover, I am afraid that there are not many people who can contact him now, and even fewer dare to do so when they are frightened by Heron. Besides, Rhodes could have guessed that we would try to find him. ”

Daniel exhaled as he nodded, "Okay, then please leave it to your family, I will give you 1 million, and you will hand it over to your family." ”

"......" Kusa was silent for a moment, "what do you mean—"

"If necessary, find a brother, and the money will buy him a peace of mind." (To be continued......)
