Chapter 540: Great Sacrifice

Over the weekend, with the help of Coca-Cola's channels and resources, Martin held the first informal gathering of the Coca-Cola Cult at the Los Angeles Country Club, and many well-known people who had registered on the official website received his handwritten invitations.

In addition to Leonardo and Nicholson, there were also many heavyweights in the industry, such as Julie and Aniston, two opinion leaders of Rice Rabbit, Robert Downey Jr., Daniel, who has been working with Martin and Louise for a long time, and so on.

There are also many people from outside the industry, many of whom have come from other places, and the related expenses are all paid for by Martin's portrait proceeds in the commemorative coke.

For example, Neves of the FBI, and McLean of the LAPD, etc.

These people may have been curious, or because of Martin's connections, to join such an obviously playful organization.

But when you come to the scene and find that there are fashion and film company owners, well-known critics, Hollywood stars, directors and producers, powerful figures from the official violence groups in the United States, liberal opinion leaders, and even state legislators, they immediately realize that this is an excellent platform for networking.

Some people even took the initiative to find Martin and asked him, the leader of the Cult of Coke, to hold more such gatherings across the United States in the future.

During that time, Martin also received a phone call from White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emmanuel.

Ram expressed concern about the gathering and invited Martin to Washington, D.C., for the next meeting of the Cult of Cola.

During the party, Martin talked to two old friends, Neves and McLean.

Together, they concocted a famous Russian spy case and made huge profits from it, and McLean was ready to run for the next LAPD chief.

The loose organization of the Coke God Cult began to be platformized.

After the party, Martin left Daniel of Warner Bros. alone to talk about the Inception crew and the rights to The Hobbit.

The former's black cauldron was thrown at Harvey as much as he could.

The copyright of the latter is related to huge profits, and it is not necessary for Martin to say anything at all.

"If he is interested, he should voluntarily give up the copyright." Daniel said directly: "It's not to grab Warner's rights." ”

Martin continued: "Unfortunately, Harvey has never been a man of interest. ”

Daniel smiled: "Not only is he uninteresting, but he also wants to control everything. “

Martin knows that it's not that it's not uninteresting, but that the interests are too great.

In another position, in the face of the high copyright income of the hobbit, can he give up so happily?

Daniel said to Martin again: "Harvey offended all the top brass of Warner to death, I, the distributor of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, was scolded by him very badly, Barry Meyer and Alan Horn needless to say, if the murder is not illegal, Harvey has been killed by them a hundred times." ”

Martin was simply direct: "Over the years, Xavi has been smooth, but he is too domineering, and there will always be a day when he falls." ”

Daniel understood the meaning of Martin's words: "He'd better fall down quickly and never get up again!" Believe me, Martin, Warner's fast-moving car is definitely going to run over him. ”

Before leaving, he said to Martin: "I forgot to tell you, Warner plans to adapt The Hobbit into a trilogy, and I'm still the distribution producer." ”

Martin had known this for a long time, so he approached Daniel and said, "Congratulations." ”

"Copyright can't be solved, and all the preparation may be in vain," Daniel said. ”

"There's always a way to fix it," Martin said. ”

…………

New York, outside a hotel.

Lukaku sits in a car, presses the monitor button, and records at the same time.

Courtois asked, "Is there any big news?" “

Lukaku shook his head slowly: "Sienna Miller invited a group of female models to a party, what's the big news...... They mentioned Martin Davis, as if Angela Lindwow said that there was a test that had to be completed in order to join the fashion supermodel team. ”

The door opened from the outside, and Hazard got into the car with a hamburger and asked, "What conditions?" ”

Lukaku said: "The only condition for joining the fashion supermodel group is to sleep with Martin Davis, that's what Carolina said, everyone else agrees, and this group of prodigals has made a bet on whether Georgina Chapman can meet that condition this year." “

Courtois was disappointed: "Why don't they sleep with me, I can sleep easily!" ”

Hazarce gave him a burger and said, "Isn't Georgina Chapman the wife of Harvey Weinstein, whom we checked some time ago?" “

"That's right, it's her." Lukaku added: "She's still a fashion brand designer, and listening to Sienna Miller and Angela Lindwo, it's as if Martin introduced her to the American fashion scene......

Courtois said: "I remember that Xavi and Martin were at odds, and Xavi's wife had a good relationship with Martin, and the entertainment industry and the fashion industry were really in turmoil. ”

Hazard gulped down his burger: "Think about the information we've gathered, it's nothing compared to what Xavi did. “

There was a sudden knock on the car door from outside, Courtois looked up and saw that it was a strange man, lowered the window and asked, "Something?" ”

Ivanse gave him a business card: "I'm a reporter from TMZ and I want to buy something from you." ”

The other party wanted to close the window, and Ivan's other check reached halfway through the window.

The money power was activated, and the three men immediately invited him into the car.

Ivan said directly: "I got the news from your newspaper that they have investigated Harvey Weinstein and have his news in hand. ”

For the sake of the banknote's ability, Hazard said: "You can find out such secret news, TMZ is really powerful!" We did find a lot of things, and the editor-in-chief originally wanted to publish them, but a Jew at the headquarters pressed them down, and all the fierce materials were deleted. ”

Ivan said: "You didn't keep a backup? ”

Hazard shrugged and spread his hands again.

Ivan pulled out another check and put it on his lap.

Courtois wanted to speak out when he saw the numbers on the check, and Hazard was the first to say: "Not really. ”

Ivan nodded, and took out the check again: "Don't you just want to sell it for a good price if you keep it in your hands?" ”

The three of them glanced at each other, and reached a tacit understanding through their eyes, Hazard put down the burger in his hand and said: "The price has doubled, not only have all kinds of videos and recordings of fierce news, but we will also provide you with the phone numbers and contact information of several victims who are willing to come forward." “

Ivan stretched out his hand: "Yes." ”

Hazard shook hands with him: "Deal!" ”

The three journalists were professional, and even as Hazard was negotiating, Lukaku remained in his seat and continued to eavesdrop and record Sienna Miller's party.

He heard Georgina Chapman say, "I'm going back to Los Angeles and throwing a fashion party and inviting Martin to come." ”

Lukaku couldn't help but sigh, Martin is in danger!

…………

Just after Ivan bought their materials and returned to Los Angeles, Bruce, who was notified, called Jody.

The two still met in Bruce's car as they had done in the past.

Jody painted delicate makeup, she is exceptionally beautiful, and if you ignore the front and back are a little flat, she can be called a beauty.

"It's been a long time since you've come to me, old cloth." She had an inexplicable resentment: "You are developed, have you forgotten my old friend." ”

Bruce said: "How come, I always remember you, this is no big news, come to you immediately." ”

Jody took over a lot of Bruce's news and business and said, "You're going to start hyping up again. ”

"No hype this time." Bruce handed her a USB stick: "Old friend, I gave you a good chance to win the Pulitzer Prize." ”

Jody said, "It could also be a big hole. ”

Bruce pointed to the USB drive: "You can take a look first." ”

Jody opens the laptop she brought with her and plays a video from a USB stick that contains a narration of an unknown actress describing Harvey Weinstein's assault on her.

Her face became serious: "That's it? The Pulitzer Prize? Lao Bu, you're kidding! “

Bruce reminded: "After reading. ”

Jody opened the next video, which was less than two minutes long, but it was a video of Harvey Weinstein violating a girl, and the process made her a woman who looked quite uncomfortable.

Then there was another recording, and the voice sounded a lot like Harvey.

After hearing this, Jody asked, "That's all?" ”

Bruce held out a little finger: "These are just a few of them. ”

Jody dared to fight for the news, and her first reaction was to rush up and expose it, but reason told her that things were not so simple, and said: "That's Harvey Weinstein!" I may be cut off! ”

"If your future is over, I'll give you a lot of money so that you don't have to work hard in the future to live a prosperous life," Bruce said. ”

This dispelled some of Jodi's doubts, and many of the problems came down to money.

"Think about it, the Pulitzer Prize, the highest honor for a journalist, with your current career development, you will never be able to touch this award in your life!" Bruce knows Jody, a woman who dares to take huge risks: "It's true that Harvey Weinstein is very powerful, but because of this, once his true colors are revealed, the rewards will be extremely rich, and the risks are proportional to the gains. ”

He specifically mentioned one person: "How Helen of Warner TV is successful, I have seen with my own eyes, even when the bullets are flying, she has always followed me and Martin." ”

Jody still has doubts: "TMZ may not be able to hold it down. ”

Bruce had already seen it, and Jody didn't want to refuse at all: "Your boss Harvey Levine doesn't want to report, I'll sell it to someone else, and one more thing, I bought the paparazzi of the News of the World, the Sun is based in the UK, if no one reports for a long time, they will also poke it out, do you think they care about Weinstein?" ”

Jody closed his eyes, took a hard breath, and said: "Okay, you give me everything, I am now the deputy editor-in-chief, and I have the power to independently post news and pin on the TMZ homepage, but I won't post it immediately, this matter is too crazy, I want to watch the video and meet the person in person to ensure that one blow is fatal!" ”

Bruce said, "No problem. ”

"I have one more condition." Jody stared at Bruce: "Old Bu, you have to stay with me for a night!" ”

For the sake of the future, both Martin and Lao Bu made great physical sacrifices.
