Chapter 841: Storm
Griffith Observatory, Los Angeles.
Martin stood alone on a stargazing platform, looking out at a private home near the park.
It was a little far away, and I couldn't see anything but the faint lights.
But he knew that Ryan Reynolds' party was going to start soon.
In order to promote the "Deadpool" movie project, this Canadian movie star, who suffered the fiasco of "Green Lantern", really worked hard.
Sell the wedding home with ex-wife Scarlett Johansson to organize a party.
From Michelle Bryan, he got a key gift that could impress several of Fox's top executives.
Martin came down from the stargazing platform and was accompanied by bodyguards scattered around him to the parking lot.
Just in time, Bruce drove back.
Martin got straight into the Escalade he was driving and several cars got out of the car together.
Bruce said: "All three options are ready. ”
Martin asked, "There's no going to be a problem with TMZ, right?" ”
"A small ambitious team that Jody specially recommended." Bruce said simply: "Didn't go to Jody's side, we informed this small team in the form of a news informant, and the leader of the small team, Holding, is an ambitious and resourceful young man, and he will not miss this kind of news clue." ”
Martin said: "I don't know how effective it will be if I use public opinion to force it. ”
A few years ago, Michelle Bryan's affair was not spread before it was resolved, and only a $35,000 fine was paid.
Even if you secretly call the police this time, the result may not be much better.
If you do something like this with just righteousness, the result may be worse, or even put yourself in it.
Bruce replied: "If it's just within the scope of Michelle, I don't think there will be a lot of resistance. ”
Martin nodded slightly: "I haven't thought about anything else, if you want to turn me into an addict, and put it into action, there is always a price." ”
Bruce added: "The latter two options are just preparations, and hopefully they won't be used." ”
"Ryan Reynolds and Michelle Bryan got together to try for a solution," Martin said. ”
…………
In the brightly lit mansion, security guards inspect the party supplies that have been brought in.
A middle-aged man said loudly: "Don't mess around, all the things are moved outside the hall and handed over to the waiters." ”
Seven or eight people moved the goods off the car, and after a brief inspection by the security personnel, they were delivered to the door of the villa.
The waiters in white shirts were already waiting here.
Among them was Holding.
The man who had delivered the things saw him, walked over quickly, and placed two boxes in front of him.
The man lowered his voice: "The thing is inside the can, I marked it." “
Holding blinked, picked up the suitcase and entered the villa.
Taking advantage of the fact that they were all busy, he found a few marked cans inside, opened them, took out the miniature camera, and installed them in a hidden location that had been selected long ago.
Holding gets word from a news source that Ryan Reynolds has prepared some special gifts to entertain three heavyweights in Fox's production department.
The other party swore that there would be explosive news in it.
Since joining TMZ, Holding has been waiting for big news to emerge from the crowd.
Who wouldn't want to be the editor-in-chief, or even the editor-in-chief?
TMZ's upward channel is there, and getting big news is the way to rise.
Jodi, the current editor-in-chief of the business, was a paparazzi on the street at the beginning, and because she obtained and reported a series of big news, she was not only promoted to editor-in-chief, but also won the Pulitzer Prize.
The case is in front of us, and it motivates TMZ reporters to keep working hard.
Holding took advantage of his position as a waiter to set up miniature cameras in several rooms as he thought fit, and continued to be busy with other work.
When it gets dark, the party's host, Ryan Reynolds, and his agent Cowell, arrive at the villa together.
It didn't take long for three senior executives from the production department of Twentieth Century Fox to rush over one after another.
The party kicked off and everything was normal at first.
The five of them ate and drank, chatted about some movie topics, and talked about some gossip in the circle.
When Holding brought the wine, he heard them talk about the Martin Davis lace news.
It's all about Elizabeth Olsen being a weird, just because Martin saved her life in the Burbank Middle School incident, and she lets Martin mess around, as long as she doesn't mess around in her house and in front of her, she turns a blind eye.
When Holding heard this, he was very envious in his heart, as a man, Martin Davis is the idol of life!
Cowell received a call and nodded to Ryan Reynolds.
Ryan Reynolds stood up and said to the waiter foreman: "There is no need for service personnel here, you guys go to the auxiliary building for the time being, don't come out without my notice." ”
The foreman immediately beckoned the people to leave.
When Holding came out of the villa, he carefully observed and found that there was an extra business car on the side of the door.
The foreman was urging, but he didn't look much and followed him into the auxiliary building.
It was quiet, the door of the van opened, and someone entered the building with three girls.
Ryan Reynolds spent a lot of money and found party gifts that made the three executives of Fox very satisfied.
The three of them promised Ryan Reynolds on the spot that they would go all out to promote the establishment of the film project "Deadpool".
Ryan Reynolds laughed happily and thought it was worth it.
As for the three girls, no one cared what they thought.
Ryan Reynolds got his goal and the Fox trio got treated.
All this, as if taken for granted.
It's like the people in the upper echelons of America who never care about the life or death of the leeks below.
Consumables, there are countless substitutes for the dead.
Supplies are being supplied throughout Latin America, and around the world.
When the party was over, Ryan Reynolds sent off the VIPs, then came back to discuss briefly with his agent and left the place.
Under the leadership of the foreman, the waiters came out of the auxiliary building and entered the villa to clean up the messy scene.
Holding was quick with his hands and feet, collected a few leftover special supplies, and used the cleanup as a cover to retrieve the miniature cameras.
It was busy until the early hours of the morning, and this side finally ended, and the waiters got off work.
Holding got into a rented car and sped all the way to the agreed place, where two subordinates were waiting.
He drove the car into the parking lot, waited for the day after tomorrow to have time to deal with it, and got into an off-road vehicle directly.
Barrett, who was driving, asked, "Did you get it?" ”
Holding briefly looked at the camera and said, "I have captured some, what is there, wait until I go back and take a closer look." ”
Tucker, on the co-pilot, asked, "Is there really breaking news?" Even if they have a group party, it's actually nothing, which is not a problem in Hollywood, but it will make us offend. ”
Holding didn't mix his head: "If it's just an ordinary group party, this matter will end here, and the cost invested will be mine." ”
But he already had a strong premonition, and shook the camera in his hand: "Clues and news intuition tell me that something great happened in that villa tonight!" ”
Barrett picked up speed and headed straight for the headquarters building: "I hope it won't be pressed down, or sell the news to the original owner." ”
Holding laughed: "No, after confirming the news, I will call the business editor-in-chief directly, such explosive news has always been what TMZ is pursuing." ”
"In this regard, TMZ is more likely than any other media outlet to choose exposure," Tucker said. ”
With the roar of the motor, the off-road vehicle came to the headquarters, and the three of them got out of the car and ran into the editorial office, although it was already early in the morning, there were still many offices in the TMZ headquarters with lights on.
Holding ran to his workstation and turned on his computer to connect to a tiny video camera, which he had installed in the corner of the hall.
There was nothing useful in front of it, fast-forward and played for a while, he clicked the mouse and changed to the normal playback speed.
Barrett's eyes widened when he saw the three women being brought into the living room, and he said, "Are these bastards crazy?" ”
Tucker shook his head repeatedly: "This bunch of scum in Hollywood! ”
The camera caught what happened next, and Ryan Reynolds impressed three of Fox's top brass with the trio as bribes.
The trio also invited Ryan Reynolds to join them in their perverted game.
Holding is not very old, and the blood has not yet cooled down, so he slapped the table angrily and said: "Even if the editorial department suppresses it, I will let these news be exposed!" ”
Tucker chimed in, "That's right, these scum don't deserve to live!" ”
Barrett didn't say anything, there was too much such squalor in this society.
After looking at the parts of this camera, Holding looked at several other cameras one by one, and two of them didn't capture anything useful.
There is another one, which took a similar picture.
It's really shocking!
The equipment is advanced enough, the angles are good, and the footage is clear enough that even the sound is recorded clearly.
Holding patted Tucker on the shoulder: "Tidy it up, upload it." ”
Tucker didn't say a word and got busy.
Barrett asked, "Where did the girls go?" ”
Holding took out his phone and looked at it, and said, "The informant left the address." ”
When Barrett heard this, he couldn't help but remind, "Don't you think it's too much of a coincidence? Will anyone use us as a gunman? ”
"I know someone is using us as gunmen, although I don't know who it is, and I can't find out who it is." Holding closed his eyes and opened them again: "But this is our little opportunity, and if we miss it, we may have to wait another three years?" Or five years, or even a lifetime? ”
He smiled, with a bitter smile in his smile: "You have been in the industry longer than me, and you know how narrow the upward channel is, and how difficult it is for us to cross the class." Tucker, Barrett, are you willing to spend your whole life in obscurity, just like this, just an ordinary front-line reporter, with a salary of tens of thousands of dollars a year? ”
Tucker said: "I am not willing to step on a horse, who does not want to make a lot of money by riding a horse!" These bastards on the video, no conscience, no morality, no bottom line, contempt for the law, are all scum! And what about us? Pay attention to professional ethics, abide by the law, and have a clear conscience ......"
He only felt that this society was full of ridicule: "Those scum have high salaries, are big stars, and earn millions of dollars a year, to say less!" We good people are poor and burdened by horses! Car loans, housing loans, medical expenses, insurance premiums, we are crushed by the horse! ”
These Barretts knew more than they did, because he was married and had children, and there was more than one.
"We expose these and do good deeds!" Holding is also reinforcing his resolve: "Isn't it what we have been pursuing while pursuing journalistic justice and realizing our self-worth?" ”
Barrett said, "Go ahead. ”
Tucker trims the video, edits the text title, and starts uploading.
Holding pulled out his phone and called Jody, the editor-in-chief of the business.
It didn't seem to be sleeping yet, and the phone was quickly connected.
Holding seemed to hear the wheezing voices of men and women, and said, "Boss, I have important work to report to you......"
"Lao Bu, you stop first." Jody's gasp stopped, "You say." ”
Holding gave a quick account of what had happened, and at the same time made up his mind that if Jody didn't post it, he immediately contacted its media and published it on multiple websites at the same time.
But Jody didn't disappoint him, made sure that the news was okay, and said: "Publish it immediately, I'll open the computer for review now, hurry up." “
Holding shook his fist vigorously: "Uploading." ”
On the other side, Jody hung up the phone, looked at Bruce in front of him, and said with a smile: "Lao Bu, you should sell some strength, you don't want to see Martin's plan fall through, right?" ”
"Threaten me?" Bruce was furious and dared to use Martin as a threat? He launched the 100-meter sprint.
Soon it hit the pelvis and it hurts.
Jody was very satisfied with Bruce's attitude, and after being satisfied, he stretched his long waist, went to the desk, opened his laptop, and logged in to TMZ's back-end management.
Bruce came up behind her and asked, "Haven't you shown up yet?" ”
Jody said, "Be patient, not so fast. ”
Bruce asked with concern, "Are you sure you're not going to be in trouble?" ”
"If there is trouble, those three hot-blooded reporters will carry it." Jody smiled: "The person was not sent out by me, but the news that I got spontaneously, I just reviewed the news uploaded by my subordinates." ”
She remembered something else: "Yes, one more thing, because there may be serious crimes involved, I, a Pulitzer Prize winner, of course have to call the police." ”
Bruce nodded.
Jodi's background management had a message flashing, she quickly clicked on it, saw the newly uploaded video news, and immediately clicked on it to watch it.
Both of them had the same serious expressions.
After Jody read it, she directly put the news on the front page of TMZ and locked it on the front page.
She picked up her mobile phone, dialed the phone number of an FBI official she knew, and said: "You'd better take a look at TMZ's latest headlines, someone is suspected of committing a crime, and I notified you as soon as I found out, and TMZ reported it here, and public opinion may explode soon." ”
He replied, "The content is explosive? ”
Jody said, "You'd better see for yourself." ”
There was footsteps, and it wasn't long before the man said, "I want the full version of the video!" Also, what's going on? “
"I don't know." Jody pretended to be confused: "The news was obtained by my subordinates, they uploaded and released the news, and I called me, and I found out." “
He said, "I need to know the details, where are you?" Can I go to TMZ headquarters? We'll see you in an hour at TMZ headquarters? ”
Jody replied, "Yes." ”
In less than an hour, a team of FBIs entered the TMZ headquarters.
Under Jody's introduction, they had a detailed interview with the three of Holding, and Holding also provided new clues.
But there was one condition, TMZ was involved in the whole shooting.
These are not problems.
In the early hours of the same day, the FBI raided the Santa Monica Marina warehouse, rescued three young girls, as well as several women, and captured several armed guards.
Subsequently, as quickly as possible, three executives of Ryan Reynolds and Fox were subpoenaed.
There is so much evidence they left behind, all the evidence pointing directly at Michelle Brian.
When the news of TMZ exploded and the news just spread, TMZ accompanied the FBI to storm Michelle's mansion and take control of the woman.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that public opinion in this area cannot be controlled, and Michelle is no longer involved in the last simple organizational transaction.
As for her controlling the privacy of many people, just don't let her have a chance to say it.
The storm blew quickly.
