The Wolf of Los Angeles.

In Malibu, in a large villa facing the sea, a large number of female and male models were brought in starting in the afternoon.

At night, the lights were turned on and guests arrived one after another.

There were dozens of male and female models at the swimming pool and private beach.

"Dude, take your pick. It's okay if you want to take them all!"

On the terrace on the top floor of the villa, Brian said to Hawke in a generous and generous manner: "Every model and celebrity coming here this time must provide the latest medical examination report. I guarantee that they do not have any infectious diseases."

Hawke stood behind the glass railing, looking at the beautiful women in swimsuits on the beach ahead, and said, "I remember you were planning to pursue a Hollywood actress to prove your innocence."

Brian spread his hands: "It's useless."

Hawke glanced at him and felt that this was not the case, so he asked, "You won't be rejected, will you?"

Brian told the truth: "Among the candidates we had drawn up at the time, only Jennifer Aniston and Cameron Diaz were single. Aniston was not in North America, so I found Cameron Diaz, and she was not opposed to having a short relationship with me."

At this point, he was quite pleased with himself: "Compared to your unattractive face, the handsome and dashing Brian Ferguson is very charming."

Hawke asked, "Where's Cameron Diaz? Why don't I see you guys appearing in public together?"

Brian coughed and said, "It's all your fault! You made it impossible for me to look at these Hollywood actresses!"

He whispered, "I asked her for the medical report, and she said I was a pervert, and then she blew it."

Hawke encouraged: "You are doing the right thing. This is responsible for both parties."

The two of them picked up the wine and drank a glass.

Hawke asked, “How’s the recall election going?”

Bryan said: "The election process has been passed, and it will soon enter the actual election stage. Sacramento has no time or energy to be distracted. The moment of decisive victory is coming."

Hawke said: "I hope Schwarzenegger will be elected."

If Gray Davis wins, they will probably be in a lot of trouble.

There were footsteps coming from the stairs; someone was going upstairs.

"So you were hiding here." The man walked over quickly and said, "You invited me to come, but I didn't see you. I thought you were going to a party with a few models."

Hawke turned his head and saw Tom Cruise.

He had met Tom Cruise at last year's LAPD social appreciation dinner and found him very familiar with Brian, who even introduced him to Tom Cruise.

Tom Cruise saw Hawke and quickly remembered: "Hawk Osment, the founder of Twitter."

Hawke shook his hand and said, "I didn't expect to meet you here."

Cruise smiled and said, "I also decided to come here on short notice. Those parties in the circle are really boring. Brian happened to invite me, so I came here to relax."

He then said to Brian, "Mr. Mayor, congratulations."

“This is just the beginning,” Bryan said.

"I wish you an early entry into the Oval Office." Cruz has been paying attention to Bryan recently: "It was a very exciting election. You beat your opponent without any chance of fighting back."

Brian looked at Hawke and said, "This is all thanks to him. Without Hawke, I would be the loser."

Cruise was somewhat surprised: "I heard people mention the West Coast Studio and thought you had already made the transition."

“Business strategy consulting has always been done,” Hawke said.

Brian poured three glasses of wine, one for Hawke and one for Cruise, and then said to Cruise, "Aren't you in some trouble recently? You can ask Hawke for help."

Cruz thought for a moment and said, "Things are still under control."

He raised his glass to Hawke: "Can I contact you if I need anything?"

Hawke clinked glasses with him: "You're welcome anytime."

The three of them stopped talking about this and started chatting about some gossip and interesting things in Hollywood.

In it, Tom Cruise talks about some of the troubles he's been having.

Hawke also learned about it through the media.

At the last Academy Awards, Cruise once again failed to win an Oscar, but his ex-wife Nicole Kidman, with the support of Harvey Weinstein, successfully won the Best Actress award.

The media reported that Nicole Kidman left Cruise and lived her true self, truly creating her own career.

This was a huge loss of face for Cruise.

After the two divorced, Cruise's agent was still Pai Kingsley of CAA. Cruise believed that Kingsley and CAA were too biased towards Nicole Kidman at the Oscars and did not pay enough attention to his work.

Cruise was furious and fired Kingsley and CAA.

The conflict between the two sides has completely intensified. Perhaps out of fear that other clients will follow suit, CAA and Kingsley are now using the media to discredit Cruise, accusing him of having abnormal beliefs and restricting the freedom of his ex-wife Nicole Kidman.

Hawke vaguely remembered that this seemed to be just the beginning.

Tom Cruise changed the subject and asked Hawke, "I attended a preview some time ago. Is the director Eric Eason your friend?"

Hawke nodded slightly: "His new film, Dark Journey?"

Cruise said: "The film was well made. Paramount Pictures wants to buy the distribution rights from Castle Rock Pictures. I like his style very much." Hawke said: "Eric is a talented director."

Eric had helped him a lot recently, and he returned the favor by saying to Cruise, "Do you like Eric's style? Eric has a new script in his hand, and he showed it to me. I think it's very interesting."

Cruise also has a film company, and said, "Is that so? When you have time, ask Eric out and we can talk."

Hawke is a man of action: "Do you want me to call him now?"

Cruise responded: "Okay."

Hawke took out his cell phone and called Eric directly. He gave Eric a brief explanation and Eric said he would be there soon.

In less than half an hour, Eric hurried to Malibu and was taken directly upstairs after entering the villa.

By chance, Tom Cruise attended the preview of his new film, and the two of them got to know each other.

Hawke made another solemn introduction, then pulled Brian off the terrace, giving the place to the two of them.

With Brian and him around, even if Cruise was really a gay, he wouldn't be able to do anything to Eric.

This bowl of delicious soup has been simmered for more than 40 years and has not become mushy. Even with the support of Scientology behind it, it is enough to prove that Cruise is not a fool.

As for whether cooperation can be achieved, it is beyond Hawke's control.

The party didn't last long and most people left.

Brian's team members each took away at least one model.

Anyway, the boss will pay for it.

On the way back, Eric also got into Hawke's car and asked the driver assigned by Catherine to drive behind him.

Hawke asked Edward, who was driving, "Why didn't you choose one?"

Edward said seriously, "I was scolded by them."

Eric was curious and asked, "Why?"

Edward was helpless: "I asked around, and none of them had children..."

"Don't set the standards so strictly," Hawke said. "Relax them a little. There's a forest in front of you."

Edward forced a smile: "I am a man of principles."

The main reason was that he was in a bad mood today. He met with Deborah in the morning. Deborah was very dissatisfied with his frequent disappearance from work and strongly demanded that he resign from the West Coast Studio.

Although Deborah claimed that she would support him, Edward was not stupid. He knew that when it came to money, how could a woman compare to him?
He verbally rejected Deborah's request, which led to a big fight between the two.

Hawke then asked Eric, "How was your conversation with Tom Cruise?"

"He read the script I wrote, which is based on you and Edward." Eric elaborated: "Tommy thought the script was very interesting and suitable for being made into a movie, but the specific details of the cooperation have not yet been discussed."

Hawke said: "If you can reach a cooperation with Cruise, the road will be smoother in the future."

Eric smiled and said, "Not a little bit, it's much smoother. Although the director often takes the initiative in the cooperation between the director and the actor, that is the general situation. Superstars like Tom Cruise are not included."

He thought for a moment and added, "Cruise hasn't talked to me about actual cooperation. I think he's waiting."

Edward, who still remembered that he and Hawke had discussed whether Cruise was gay, interrupted, "Wait until you come to me?"

"No!" Eric was quite sensitive about this: "I would rather not work with him! Cruise is waiting for the release of Dark Journey to see how the film is received. He will only talk to me about cooperation if the film is well received."

Hawke asked, “When is the film coming out?”

Eric said, "Paramount Pictures took a fancy to it at a test screening some time ago, but Castle Rock Pictures doesn't want to resell it. If nothing goes wrong, it will be released in August."

Hawke made a note: "We'll go to the theater to cheer you on then."

"Buy some more movie tickets." Eric was not polite to his two old friends: "This is my first real theatrical movie. If it fails, I can only make some VHS movies."

Hawke thought of an idea: "No problem, I'll let Twitter book the entire theater to watch it."

Eric smiled: "Boss, you are still generous."

Edward said, "I will also mobilize my brothers to go and see it."

Entering North Hollywood, Eric got out of the car and left.

Hawke received a call from Megan Taylor and asked Edward to drop him off at Fox Center.

In addition to Twitter, Fox 11 was also used extensively in this election public relations.

Having used Megan's favor, Hawke will have to pay back tens of billions.

After entering the underground parking lot of Fox TV Station, Hawke found a spare key, opened the door of Megan's BMW 7, got in the car, and called Megan again.

In less than ten minutes, Megan came down from upstairs, sat in the passenger seat of the BMW, and asked Hawke: "Go to your side?"

It is not appropriate to bring other women to the villa that Hawke rented in Santa Monica.

He said, "Let's go to your place." (End of this chapter)
