Laura Layton woke up and glanced at the luxuriously shaped wall clock, it was already nine twenty in the morning, but she was not in a hurry to get up, but lay lazily on the comfortable hotel bed for ten minutes, and then reluctantly got up, poured herself a glass of water, walked to the window and opened the electric curtains, and drank water while enjoying the wonderful scenery of Beverly Hills.

It was only at this moment that she confirmed that she really seemed to have become a small star, although only a reality TV star, a TV star with a slightly inferior status compared to a movie star, but at least no longer an obscure Nobody.

As for the reason for her success, it is because she played a rich white daughter who fell into the streets in the reality show "Fake Daughter", which caused heated discussions.

And this reality show is now on fire, every Friday in prime time, there are countless American viewers sitting in front of the TV, waiting to appreciate their fate, as one of the two heroines, her popularity has naturally risen.

The most intuitive reaction is that the few TV series cameo opportunities that she had previously exchanged by sleeping with those producers are now considering turning her role into a permanent one, offering her a contract that is not too high, but at least stable.

And, Susan helped her open a room at the Beverly Hills Hotel, nicknamed the "House of Stars" in the industry, for her to stay for a long time.

And before the show became popular, she had no experience staying in this hotel alone except for sleeping with those producers.

It seems that the show is a big hit, and after he became famous, he has a lot of friends around him, and he used to contact his producer in addition to going to bed, but now he will call himself a friend, even Susan, when he sees her, he will compare with other artists, with more smiles on his face, and when he encounters an occasional hangover, he will no longer directly open his mouth and scold, and directly pour cold water to wake himself up.

In short, the world seemed to be filled with goodwill in an instant.

Called the hotel housekeeper to bring a breakfast to the room, and before she could finish eating, the assistant Susan arranged for her swiped the room key from the outside and walked in:

"Laura, we made an appointment with the photographer of Vogue California for a cover photo shoot at 10:30, and the stylist and designer clothes are waiting for you in the hallway."

Laura spit out the unpalatable chaff cake that had just been put in her mouth but would not make her fat, and looked at her male assistant in shock: "I made an appointment to take pictures at 10:30, and you are only here to inform me now?" Do you want me to appear in the camera as I am now? ”

Although she felt that she had signs of becoming a star, she did not have a star shelf for the time being, and while speaking, she walked quickly to the bathroom, and pressed the food she had just eaten to her tonsils to induce vomiting, and then walked out of the bathroom with her lower abdomen covered, looked at her male male assistant of Hungarian origin, and asked a little incredulously:

"Wait a minute, the cover photo of the California edition of Vogue? Are you kidding? ”

The assistant walked quickly to the dining table to help Laura pour a glass of water, handed it to her and introduced the situation at the same time: "I only selected you in the early morning, and I only found out twenty minutes ago, the original cover girl, Brazilian supermodel Betty Browny, had a big time last night, and told a joke about the owner of the magazine in public at a reception full of celebrities, Susan was also at the reception last night, I don't know if she relied on Jewish relations or money to open the way, anyway, the editor-in-chief of the other party's magazine has some impressions of you, In addition, Susan guarantees that she will take care of your brand clothing and styling by herself, so they are willing to arrange for a photographer to come to your door today and help you take a set of photos to see the results. ”

"What joke?" Laura took the glass and took a long sip, trying to trick her stomach into forgetting about her hunger.

The assistant shrugged: "You won't be interested, a joke that makes the magazine owner hate, just enough to remind you, Laura, when you attend a drinking party in the future, don't be greedy for glasses, let alone touch drugs." ”

"Of course I'm not interested, I just want to remember that the joke isn't funny and that I'll never touch it." Laura Layton drank the entire glass of water and said in an affirmative tone.

She will not waste this hard-won opportunity to become famous, let alone ruin her dream of stardom.

The assistant looked at Laura's curious gaze, hesitated, and finally spoke: "Okay, Betty drunkenly grabbed the microphone at the drinking party, saying that when the other party's boss slept with her, he actually thought she was a little dark, and then grabbed a firefly and stuffed it into her club, wanting to help light the way, Betty said that this is the most literary **behavior she has heard in her twenty-four years of life, and it is also the most stupid** behavior she has ever seen, because they didn't do anything in the middle of the night, but called the doctor to come and help take the firefly out of the club." ”

"Wow, that joke ruined all my wonderful fantasies about fireflies." Laura was stunned for a moment after listening to this, and then said in a daze:

"The girl...... It's time to say goodbye to your career early, right? ”

The assistant took out the vitamins and poured a few pills and handed them to Laura: "I think so, because her joke about the fireflies has spread from Los Angeles to New York, Paris and London overnight, and the brand is considering how much money to claim from her." ”

"So now I don't have an appointment at all, where to find a stylist and a costume for the shoot...... "Laura didn't have time to care why the female model just told the truth, but was punished like a criminal who committed a crime, this is Hollywood, there is no time to care about other people, and most importantly, the other party is unlucky, whether he has a chance to benefit, swallowed the vitamin handed by the assistant, and immediately asked the question that he should care more about.

The assistant pointed in the direction outside the door: "Susan called Tommy, the legendary boss, and Tommy asked her girlfriend's stylist and the Los Angeles regional manager of several brands of clothing she wears to send a bunch of clothes for you to choose from, and then you can go to the mansions he rents to shoot." ”

"I love Tommy and his girlfriend, am I going to make a personal call to say thank you? I haven't met the legendary Tommy, who only lives in Mark and Susan's descriptions. Laura said with a sigh of relief when she heard the assistant's words.

The assistant shook his head: "It's better not, I heard Susan say that Tommy is going into a rage right now." ”

"Because of what?" Laura looked at the assistant curiously.

The assistant helped Laura close the curtains again: "I don't know the details, but it seems that because his money was not spent, I asked them to send in the clothes to try on." ”

"The troubles of rich people are really unimaginable." Laura watched the assistant walk out, and said with some incredulity: "It's the first time I've heard of the reason I'm angry because the money wasn't spent." ”

……

BT's VP of Public Relations, Sean Ray, sat in the conference room for a long time, watching Tommy keep walking back and forth in front of him like an enraged bull, cursing something in a low voice, and after walking a few laps, Tommy sat down next to Sean and looked at him viciously:

"You're saying that on behalf of BT, you offered to buy the TV rights to a Fox movie with real money, and they not only rejected you, but also humiliated BT, right, Sean?"

Sean smacked his lips, nodded slowly, and said to Tommy, who was close at hand: "That's right. ”

"It's their fault, they not only humiliated you, they humiliated BT, but they humiliated the whole of America." Tommy said in a vicious and decisive tone.

Sean rolled his eyes, the other party just didn't sell BT movie rights because BT's offer was too low, he didn't understand, no matter how normal business behavior became a heinous American sinner in Tommy's mouth, hesitated, he said with a smile:

"Uh...... I won't say it so absolutely, in fact, according to your requirements, BT's offer is not high, or it can be said to be the lowest in the industry, and the other party's refusal is reasonable, as for humiliation, it's just a normal response, I won't say which BT or FOX humiliates each other first, anyway, if you don't mock each other on your TV every day, maybe the audience will feel strange, by the way, have you heard, the audience compares BT and FOX to a couple, BT is a low-level black man in the United States, FOX is a rude country girl from Australia who fights every day, and the audience is the children of the two of them, sitting at the dinner table every day and watching their parents quarrel over various topics. ”

"BT even if it's a low-level black person, it has a bottom, it will never get together with an ugly* in the Australian countryside, and make so many children." Tommy stared at Sean for a long time before he said in an unhappy tone, and then asked Sean:

"The phone recordings that I have made a few requests have been backed up, right? Including FOX they mocked and humiliated BT's words. ”

Sean nodded: "Uh-huh." ”

"Wrap it up nicely, tie it with a pink bow, and remember to give it to Fawkes as a surprise gift when I need it." After Tommy received Sean's affirmative answer, his face softened a little and admonished.

Sean didn't understand why Tommy had gone out of his way to record all the audio or transcript of the negotiations with FOX Pictures over the rights to the film, which in his opinion were useless:

"What's the use of that? There were no personal attacks, just ridicule each other in the industry, which did not meet the minimum requirements for filing a lawsuit. ”

"It wouldn't be a surprise if it was revealed to you now, Sean." Tommy didn't satisfy Sean's curiosity, and after dropping a sentence, he was ready to get up and leave.

Seeing that Tommy was about to leave, Sean immediately sped up and said:

"There's another question that Warner Pictures wants to ...... Let's talk about cooperation, and I want to meet you in person. ”

"Warner?" Tommy sat back in his seat and looked at Sean with some confusion: "What cooperation." ”

"I helped BT find the TV rights for some classic movies, and in addition to Fox, I have also been in contact with several other film groups, and Warner's attitude is the most positive." Sean said in an unhurried tone.

Tommy thought about Warner's well-known movies in his mind, and then said: "Of course positive, it seems that in recent years, except for the Superman series and the Batman series, Warner doesn't seem to have any well-known works, and what's worse is that the reputation of the Superman series is getting worse and worse." ”

"Warner is willing to license their classic movies to BT without even us having to pay for them, which means that we don't have to pay a dime, and we can stream all of Warner Pictures' classic movies on the BT network all day, but with the provis, it wants to take a stake in BT's entertainment production company, have a seat on the entertainment production company's board of directors, and then ......" Sean didn't finish, just spread his hands and looked at Tommy.

Tommy nodded, understanding what the second half of Sean's unspoken sentence was: "So, BT Entertainment Productions' self-made shows, they can also use them for free." ”

"Yes, and their international distribution department can help take our own shows overseas." Sean nodded.

Tommy took out a cigarette and lit one: "Warner, I remember that it is not tied to CNN?" CNN's boss Turner Jr. is a shareholder of Warner, and CNN's pay-per-view movie channel can always broadcast Warner and MGM movies. ”

"In fact, this cooperation was proposed by Mr. Turner, a director of Warner's board of directors, and the reason why he wants Huacheng to take a stake in BT Productions is that CNN's cable variety channel has not had any programs that can be played, and he actually hopes that BT can help CNN plan one or several really good reality shows against the damn Fox, because Fox has also started to produce cable paid reality TV channels." Sean briefs Tommy on what he knows.

BT TV network and BT Entertainment Production Company, although they are clearly the same, but in Hollywood, where production and broadcasting are separated, they can be treated differently, such as other TV networks, film companies, if they are willing to pay, they can also let BT Entertainment Production Company help produce the programs they want, in fact, in recent times, there are indeed other TV networks that have contacted BT, hoping that BT can help produce some reality shows.

It's not that their own production company can't do it, it's mainly that the ratings they make can't beat the completely shameless BT, BT at the cost of abandoning the Amy Award, although it has not received praise from the industry, but the ratings of a series of variety shows such as "Wife Swap Game", "Looking for Daddy America", "Almighty Gun King", "Fake Daughter" and so on have been popular all the way and have been favored by the majority of advertisers.

Therefore, in the TV industry, where ratings are king, CNN's Turner wants Warner to take a stake in BT Productions, and then let BT help his own CNN create a popular reality show, which is not so strange that it is incomprehensible.

Tommy smoked most of his cigarette in silence before slowly speaking: "This reason really makes me unable to refuse, after all, whoever wants to drive the arrogant and rude Australians out of the United States, I, Tommy Hawke, will definitely be willing to stand and cheer." ”

He looked up at Sean, "He wants me to meet him?" You arrange. ”

Sean shook his head: "Mr. Turner said, if you agree to meet, let me let him know, and then, Warner will have another board member to organize a meeting." ”

"Why is it so complicated? He...... Ambition is bound to win. Tommy asked himself and looked at Sean again, "Does that director know Stephen Lane or his father?" ”

Sean smiled: "No, that director and your father-in-law have been friends for many years, you are right, little Turner is determined to win the matter of becoming a shareholder in the production of a reality show." ”
