The Wolf of Los Angeles.

Chapter 39 Big Guy and Cute Girl
In Mount Holbel Park, Jacqueline, wearing jeans and sneakers, saw Hawke and Edward from afar and quickened her pace.

Coming closer, she opened her arms, hugged Hawke tightly, and said, "Thank you for everything you have done for me."

Hawke took a step back: "I should be the one thanking you for the news tip."

Jacqueline sat on a stone bench and said, "I saw the National Enquirer. The agent was angry with that little bitch and ordered her to leave Los Angeles. If she is seen in Los Angeles again, she will be thrown to Compton."

"This punishment is too cruel!" Edward from Compton couldn't help but say: "A beautiful young white girl, stranded in Compton, this is the theme of the Sacred Valley movie."

Hawke got straight to the point: "I need your help with something this time."

The little bitch who backstabbed her was killed, and Jacqueline was grateful to Hawke and said, "If only I could do it."

Hawke waved his hand: "It's a very simple thing. You pretend to be a pregnant woman and go to meet someone."

Jacqueline touched her belly and said, "I don't know much about pregnant women."

Edward took out the CD Hawke had prepared in advance: "It contains a detailed introduction. Take it back and read it carefully."

Hawke asked, "How much do you charge for the day? I'll pay you the market price."

Edward's eyes widened: "Boss, have you gotten it? No, how come you still know Baotian?"

Jacqueline said: "I'm on my period recently, so I'm taking a break... Well, you pay me $200 a day."

Hawke first paid her $200 and said, "It may take more than one day. Go back and watch the CD first."

He gave a look and Edward handed the backpack he brought to Jacqueline.

Hawke said, "Inside is professional equipment for pretending to be a pregnant woman. Take it back and remember to practice. Keep your phone on and wait for my call."

Jacqueline took it.

Hawke gave some additional instructions.

After Jacqueline left, Edward scratched his head, frowned and said, "Boss, why do I have a feeling that we are like the villains in a Hollywood movie who are not allowed to see the light of day?"

Hawke asked, "Who do you think is stronger, us or Donnie?"

"Of course, Donny is better." Edward calculated in his mind, but he couldn't figure it out, so he simply said, "He is at least a millionaire. Compared to him, we are both poor. Our only advantage is that we are hiding in the dark."

Hawke asked in return: "We are not even afraid of being poor, so why should we be afraid of hiding in the dark and being a venomous snake?"

Edward suddenly understood: "Yes! Why should we poor ghosts be afraid of other ghosts?"

The two left Mount Hubbard Park and went back to make other preparations.

The next day, Hawke called Fat Cole and asked about Robert Downey Jr.'s whereabouts.

He broke Kerr's bottom line yesterday, and he will use repeated attempts to gain information to push Kerr's bottom line back.

Cole tells Hawke that Donnie is going to Tracy's gym today.

Hawke then called Eric and asked, "Old friend, is there any progress on the gym?"

Eric said embarrassedly: "Catherine found someone. I've been busy writing the script recently and forgot to inform you. Please wait a moment. I'll call Catherine."

A few minutes later, Hawke received a call from Eric, asking him to get to the gym before three o'clock. Eric would accompany Catherine's friend there.

We can't let Eric and his men wait for this kind of thing.

Hawke immediately went out, drove to Westwood, and waited near the gym.

It was almost three o'clock when Eric called and Hawke was waiting for him at the gym door.

Not long after, a Ford Mustang stopped at the door. In addition to Eric in the passenger seat, a big guy got out from the driver's seat.

Hawke knows this guy, Dwayne Johnson.

Johnson, who had just entered Hollywood and was not yet the future drama tycoon, took the initiative to step forward and shake hands with Hawke after being introduced by Eric, and said quite politely: "Eric kept praising you on the way, saying that you are a master of film operation and sold his doomed movie at a high price at the Sundance Film Festival."

Hawke also gave Eric face: "It's mainly because he made good movies. If the quality of the movies is not up to standard, it will be useless for me to operate."

Eric has always admired Hawke and quickly said, "No, no, no, I made the wrong choice of film. It was Hawke who brought me back to life."

Johnson became more and more curious about Hawke.

He had known Catherine for a long time, and the latter admired Eric's directing ability and was raising funds to help Eric shoot his second feature film.

I personally accompanied Eric on the trip because I wanted to build a good relationship with him. One more director friend means one more opportunity for an actor.

Johnson said, "Let's go in and talk."

Under the guidance of this member, Hawke and Eric entered Tracy's gym together. Not only Hawke, but also Eric applied for a gym membership card.

Eric still had to work on a script, so he left after getting the card.

Johnson took Hawke to the locker room.

VIP members also have their own private rooms in the locker room.

People like Hawke can only change clothes in the common area.

Johnson came out of his locker room and saw Hawke in sportswear. He couldn't help but whistle: "Man, you can't tell when you're wearing clothes, but you've also built up some muscles."

Hawke looked at Johnson for a moment and said, "You're smaller than I thought."

"You can't say little to a man!" Johnson looked down and slapped his forehead: "Oops, I forgot the most important thing."

He quickly opened his bag, took out a pair of brand new cotton socks, folded them into a ball with his big hands, and stuffed them into his pants by unzipping their waistband.

The originally ordinary place immediately turned into a peak.

Hawke thought, is it necessary?
Johnson smiled and said frankly: "PR has told me more than once that celebrities must always pay attention to their image. My style and route must highlight the masculinity of men."

He was quite helpless again, flexing his arms: "If you want to maintain this exaggerated muscle, you must take medicine. If you take too much of those medicines, some male functions will decline. People like me are all big guys with cute little bodies."

Hawke followed up on his words by saying, “Not many people speak out as directly as you do.”

Perhaps every star has a sincere side before he becomes famous. Johnson wrapped a towel around his neck and said as he walked out, "Isn't it enough if it works? Why worry about the size and duration? Isn't what we pursue the happiness of that moment?"

Hawke said, "Man, you nailed the idea of ​​happiness."

The two of them entered the fitness area together. There were many personal trainers here, providing one-on-one guidance to customers.

There are many celebrity clients among them; Hawke recognized Jennifer Lopez and Hugh Jackman.

Hawke didn't notice Robert Downey Jr. for the time being. He warmed up with Johnson and went weightlifting together.

During the break, Johnson said, "I heard from Eric about the operation plan you planned. It's very special."

Hawke doesn’t need to be modest: “The main thing is that it works.”

Johnson was curious: "The Sundance Film Festival lasts for more than ten days, and you only run this one?"

Hawke thought for a moment and said, "There is another one, The Intruder, directed by Brazilian director Bedo Blount. Originally, the movie lacked attention overseas, but I helped him plan it and it became a hit in the media."

Unexpectedly, Johnson knew about the film: “The Intruder won the Latin American Film Award at the Sundance Film Festival.”

This is the best proof. Hawke smiled and said nothing more.

With two ready-made cases in front of him, Johnson couldn't help but think for a while and said, "My first movie starring in a leading role will be released next month. Can you give me some suggestions?"

Hawke had read relevant news on the Internet and had some impression of it. He asked, "What about the movie 'The Scorpion King' that was tailor-made for you?"

Johnson seemed a little heavy: "That's it. This is my first time as the leading actor. I have to carry a movie. If I mess it up, I can only go back to wrestling."

Huo Keming said: "The studio I founded is also involved in this business."

Johnson is not short of money, he understood immediately: "The crew is also promoting my personal publicity, and has allocated a budget for this, and I am also prepared to invest some money."

Hawke thought to himself, the first time is indeed the hardest. Now that Eric has opened up a path and with the help of many relationships, it has become much easier to find new business.

"Your personal publicity?" Seeing Johnson nod, he said, "I need some information about you, including when you performed professional wrestling."

Johnson immediately reached for his cell phone to call someone and had it sent over.

Hawke was very concerned about this opportunity and did not want to cut off Johnson's channel, so he specifically said, "I'll look at the information and plan a plan first. If I can come up with a suitable plan, we'll sign the agreement."

To Johnson, this sounded like the responsible thing to do.

Not long after, Robert Downey Jr. came to the gym.

Hawke chose a position far away from him and observed nonchalantly.

Deborah accompanied Donny, and the couple talked and laughed as if nothing had happened, which made people feel uncomfortable.

After the two men left, Hawke took the information sent by Johnson's younger brother and left the gym first, saying that he needed time to study.

When he got into the car, he saw Donny's henchmen waiting by the car not far away.

Hawke took out his spare cell phone and called Cole, asking him to provide information that Deborah was out alone.
