The Wolf of Los Angeles.

Chapter 207 Twitter is not a charity

Other media outlets just got the news that the news about Kobe on Twitter has already made it to the trending search list, with over 30 retweets.

The most important point is that there are photos and videos as evidence.

The North American Internet exploded, and a large number of people flocked to Twitter to read the related news.

By the time I got to work in the afternoon, news of the Kobe Gate incident had already topped the trending search lists on Twitter, Yahoo, and Google.

I don’t know how many media reporters rushed to Colorado, hoping to get more explosive news in Eagle County.

Eagle County Police Department, Katherine Faber submitted evidence, including the underwear, to police and requested a medical examination.

This includes herself and the material on her underwear.

If things had gone on normally, Kobe Bryant would have been in huge trouble and caught in a whirlpool of public opinion.

When it got dark, hundreds of reporters had gathered in front of the Eagle County Police Station.

The most well-informed and capable local lawyer approached Catherine and offered to provide her with free defense.

This kind of free service is of course not really free, as the fees are drawn from the subsequent compensation.

At the advice of her lawyer, Catherine accepted a joint interview with multiple media outlets after the medical examination that day.

When she appeared in front of the camera with scars on her face and neck.

The reporters were instantly excited.

The scarred female victims met the needs of news reporting and also fit the society's stereotypes about black athletes.

Catherine publicly stated: "I provided the police with underwear stained with the perpetrator's genetic material. I also underwent a medical examination and the police will announce the results soon."

If the victim dares to do this, he must have solid evidence!

The media reporters fully believed that a carnival feast for them had begun.

Garcia was among the reporters and filmed the entire process.

The current Catherine is really in stark contrast to the Catherine before she entered the locker room.

Garcia returned to the hotel, sorted out the videos and photos he had taken, and sent them back to Los Angeles via email.

In Los Angeles, Juan came out of the international airport and immediately called Campos.

Campos said to him: "Carlos is waiting for you in the parking lot. You go directly to the media company with him and sell the news."

"Okay." Juan went down the stairs, saw a Chevrolet, opened the door and got in.

Carlos started the car and drove off: "You guys have made big news this time."

Juan said, "Before we knew the boss, we lived like homeless people. Later, when we followed the boss, we found that the things we learned were not difficult to make money even if they did not violate American laws."

"You're right." Carlos, who knew more than Juan, said, "The key to this success is that someone helped us withstand the pressure."

The Chevrolet sped all the way to the Twitter building.

An assistant was waiting in the hallway, and as soon as the two men arrived, he immediately took them into the reception room to meet Caroline.

Twitter bought out a series of Kobe-related news materials, including previous and subsequent ones, for a total price of $80.

Hawke, Edward, Caroline and Sasha then went to the small conference room for a meeting.

This part of the news material is mainly divided into five parts, including photos of Kobe and Katherine spending time together in the hotel, recordings, photos and videos of Kobe repeatedly inviting Katherine, videos of things happening in the hotel room, video of Katherine actively kissing Kobe when she went out, and recordings recorded by the bug.

In the photo, the two are very close and look like a couple.

In the recordings and videos, Katherine was proactive and enthusiastic, and she also did not allow Kobe to use safety measures.

Edward has been following Hawke for so long and has seen many similar cases. He shook his head and said, "Kobe took the initiative to jump into the trap. He was framed."

Sasha disagrees: "A sports star like him can't control what's down there. If it doesn't happen this time, there will be another time."

Caroline couldn't help but glance at Hawke. Thinking of Bella Sean last time, she felt more and more that her boss was not an ordinary wolf.

Edward then asked, "Are we going to release it directly?"

"Publishing this information directly will certainly bring in some traffic, but it will also be the same as announcing the end of this incident." As the operations director, Caroline must have first considered Twitter's interests. She said, "We have no vested interests in Kobe's side, and Kobe is not our client. Publishing this information now is equivalent to clarifying things for Kobe, and public opinion will quickly die down, which will not benefit us."

Sasha fully agrees: "We spent $80 to buy news to clarify for others, and let the news that continued to gain traffic cool down in a short period of time... Twitter is not a charity organization."

Hawke nodded slowly, picked up the remote, and continued playing the previous videos and photos.

Caroline and Sasha were also watching carefully.

After a long while, Hawke pressed the pause button and said, "I have an idea."

Everyone, including Edward, looked in his direction.

Hawke cleared his throat and said, "These are all exclusive contents. Except for us, other media are unaware of them. This gives us enough room for maneuver."

He asked Edward for the mouse and selected the appropriate photos and videos: "Kobe flirted with Catherine, Kobe asked Catherine to accompany him on a tour, Kobe repeatedly invited Catherine to his room. These can be made into a series, combined with the current situation in Eagle County, to bring about another wave of enthusiasm."

Caroline understood immediately: "It meets the public's expectation of watching the fun, and meets the public's usual impression of black sports stars. It allows them to continue to enjoy the fun of gossip, rather than letting the gossip end."

Hawke copied the selected pictures and videos into a folder, and then picked out some pictures and videos: "Intimate photos of Kobe and Katherine, photos and videos of Katherine actively contacting Kobe, and some recordings. When public opinion reached its peak and everyone was targeting Kobe, we came up with a turning point news, unique and unique!"

Edward immediately understood Hawke's intention: "Let's spread the news outside and let Kobe know that we have key evidence that can prove that he is not strong." Caroline showed her two small fangs: "These news materials cost $80. We can't spend money and let others enjoy it."

For the first time, Edward felt that Miss Mea was very smart: "That's right."

Sasha agrees: “We are already short of money, and every dollar must be spent where it matters most.”

Hawke glanced at his watch and said to Caroline and Sasha, "You two will be responsible for the specific news editing and operations. The next one will be published tomorrow. We will see how the incident and public opinion develop later."

Caroline immediately took all the materials, called Sasha, and went to her office together.

Seeing that it was getting late, Hawke prepared to stay in the office suite to rest.

Edward's cell phone was vibrating during the meeting.

When the call was connected, he seemed to be arguing with someone.

Hawke patted him on the shoulder and went back to his office to sleep.

By the next day, the Kobe scandal continued to ferment, and traditional print media quickly followed suit.

The news released on Twitter once again attracted widespread attention.

The headlines are simple.

"A photo of Kobe and Katherine."

Among them, some photos and several videos are included.

Most of these were taken when Kobe first went to Eagle County and stayed in a hotel.

The video is very intuitive. Kobe deliberately strikes up a conversation and takes the initiative to approach Katherine again and again.

The last video shows Kobe inviting Katherine to his room...

These were in line with the public and media's expectations, and countless netizens flocked to Twitter to watch.

The number of reposts on that day exceeded one million.

Even some places outside North America that don't pay much attention to basketball are happy to come to Twitter to watch the fun.

The melons of the superstars are crisp and sweet.

Even many people from Dayue came running over.

With the help of this popularity, the number of Twitter's global registered users exceeded 3000 million in one fell swoop.

What the media needs is never a basketball superstar who keeps himself clean. What kind of news can be written about that? How can the public be attracted to buy in?

Therefore, public opinion is almost one-sided.

"I'm really not surprised at all that these things happened. For celebrities, it's very common for their image to collapse."

"Stars are all the same. They will collapse sooner or later. Sooner or later, they will collapse."

"Poor Vanessa, she just gave birth to a daughter for Kobe."

In a mansion in Beverly Hills, Vanessa looked at the news on Twitter, especially the photos and videos, and was about to doubt her husband's actions.

But for the sake of her family, she temporarily suppressed all the unhappiness and said to her agent Pelinka: "Hire the best lawyers, offer a reward for all clues that are favorable to him, and get him out as soon as possible."

Pelinka has no hope for the stars' ethics, saying: "The other party's goal must be money."

Vanessa also thought of this: "If it's under $20, satisfy her."

She looked at the computer screen. "And this Twitter, find someone to deal with them and make these disgusting bastards shut up."

"I've talked to Twitter," Pelinka said helplessly, "but they don't communicate with me at all."

Vanessa added, "Looking for a PR company?"

All Pelinka could say was, “Let me try.”

Vanessa asked, "What is the attitude of the team?"

"They have been keeping silent." It is not difficult for Pelinka to guess what the businessmen are thinking: "In the past few years, many sports stars have had problems. Teams will not casually stand up for players and damage their own business brands."

Vanessa's abilities are limited, so this is all she can do for now.

After leaving Beverly Hills, Pelinka contacted his lawyer first, and then asked his assistant to book a flight ticket to return to Eagle County.

He also needed to find a PR firm and remembered a PR firm that his colleague Byers had mentioned.

Byers' client, Steve Nutter from the Los Angeles Dodgers, once encountered a serious public relations crisis. The public relations company not only solved the problem, but also created Saint Steve.

Pelinka called Biles and explained his purpose.

Biles asked, "The company is called West Coast Media Entertainment Studios, and the person in charge is Hawke Osment."

Pelinka took note and asked, “Can he fix the Twitter problem?”

"Twitter? You mean Twitter?" Biles got a definite answer and felt that his brain was not enough: "Rob, the founder of Twitter is Hawke Osment!" (End of this chapter)
