The Wolf of Los Angeles.

Chapter 441 One mountain cannot tolerate two tigers

The women from the Baywatch team returned to Venice Beach, and Raul and the other two waited outside the car.

Hawke sat in front of the RV window, looked at the sea in the distance, and asked, "Are you having problems again?"

"I'm old, and my reputation is becoming less and less useful." Frank looked like a hero in his twilight years: "I've used up most of the favors I made with my old friends. Many of them have retired, so I don't want to bother them anymore."

Hawke smiled and said, "You have new friends like me and the Savior. If you need help, just let me know."

It was not an ordinary thing that could embarrass Frank. He opened the refrigerator, took out two bottles of beer, and gave one to Hawke. Then he said, "My daughter, from my last ex-wife, is going to Stanford Law School, but her grades are a little low. I do know a few people who graduated from Stanford, but they are not good enough."

Hawke understood and said directly: "How about the recommendation letter from Los Angeles Mayor Brian Ferguson? He graduated from Stanford Law School and is an honorary alumnus."

Frank opened his beer, took a big sip, and said, "A letter of recommendation like this will solve most problems. It's enough."

He was prepared. He took out a file bag and stuffed it into Hawke's hand: "This is my daughter's information."

Hawke took it and said, "I'll get it done for you as soon as possible."

Frank laughed: "You are still reliable."

Hawke checked the time and said, "I won't chat with you any more. I'll go back and help you get it done."

He glanced at the red bikini on the beach and asked, "Are there any moves on the women's rights side?"

"No." Frank did some in-depth research: "It seems that they set up this women's rescue team just to expand their influence. They are not targeting anyone. I haven't found anything so far."

Hawke believed what he said. The old man was just down and out, but he still had vision and judgment.

There may not be any problem with women’s rights here, but women’s rights in other places are creating problems.

On the way back, Hawke contacted Fiona, who was at the San Francisco branch of the Sisters March, planning a large march for the feminist organization.

Money makes things easier. With the arrival of the new year, the Sisters March has joined forces with several smaller feminist organizations to launch a new round of feminist movement in San Francisco.

Hawke returned to the company, called Brian, and asked Raul to deliver Frank's daughter's materials to the city hall.

Brian acted super fast and Raul took the recommendation letter back directly.

Hawke simply asked him to deliver it to Frank.

Soon, Frank called and said, "When she comes to get the recommendation letter, I'll take her there and let her thank you in person."

Hawke said, "There's no need to be so polite between us."

Frank was very happy and invited Hawke to have a drink after get off work.

Hawke declined, finished the work at hand, and browsed through Arnold Schwarzenegger's information.

This Hollywood superstar is a household name. He was extremely popular in the 1986s. He has good relations with the six major Hollywood companies, is a close friend of James Cameron, and married John F. Kennedy's niece Maria Shriver in .

As for Schwarzenegger's experience in film and television, there is no need to say more.

Speaking of the 1990s alone, he was definitely a Hollywood superstar who could stand shoulder to shoulder with Tom Cruise.

Schwarzenegger has a wide range of friends and his personality is completely different from his tough appearance. His biggest enemy so far is another Hollywood action star - Sylvester Stallone.

The same acting style and the same acting style mean that there is no room for two tigers in one mountain.

During the decade of the 1990s, the two men set traps for each other, attacked each other, fought openly and secretly, and they were just short of a direct blow-off in the media.

But the fight ended when Schwarzenegger entered politics and was elected governor of California.

Hawke was thinking about the relationship between Schwarzenegger and Stallone, and his thoughts suddenly drifted to Stallone's three thousand dollars.

The sudden ringing of the phone brought him back to his senses.

Megan Taylor called and asked, "You're back from Europe, did you bring me a gift?"

Hawke said, "I brought it. I've been busy at the company these days. I'll send it to you after I finish my work."

"Come on over the weekend." Megan said with a smile, "I bought a new house in Brentwood, you can come over and take a look at it over the weekend."

Hawke glanced at his schedule and said, "Okay, see you this weekend."

Megan hung up the phone and called Carolyn Jones' number again: "No overtime this weekend, right? New neighbor."

Her neighbor in her new Brentwood house, Carolyn, Twitter’s director of operations, said, “I’m free, are you free?”

Megan said: "Come over to my place this weekend, I'm going to have a little party."

Caroline responded, "Okay."

Megan was in a good mood: "It's settled."

…………

Burbank, the Los Angeles branch of Weinstein Company was officially opened.

Harvey Weinstein personally hung the copper plaque at the entrance of the company. People around him applauded.

There were also media reporters nearby taking pictures, preparing to report it as hot news.

In the past two months, the conflict between Miramax Films, headed by the Weinstein brothers, and its controlling shareholder Walt Disney was irreconcilable. Harvey Weinstein and Disney Chairman Michael Eisner had a fierce quarrel, and then the Disney board of directors removed the Weinstein brothers from all their positions in Miramax.

The Weinstein brothers told the media that they were brutally oppressed by Michael Eisner and had to leave Miramax, the studio they founded.

Regardless, the brothers lost the battle to defend the company.

Of course Harvey would not give up. He joined forces with his brother Bob and several shareholders who invested behind the scenes to officially establish the Weinstein Company.

There were rumors in Hawke's previous life that Weinstein Pictures had investments from the Zippertons, and one of its functions was to use movies to launder some of the funds for the Zippertons.

After all, the film and television industry is the most convenient industry for money laundering, and the risks are relatively few.

Even in Hollywood, behind the apparent glory of the stars, there are often aspects involved in money laundering, selling bodies, using shields and pimping.

Times have progressed, and Hollywood seems to have progressed as well, but the things inside have never changed.

Harvey set up a new company and prepared to make a comeback.

After the listing ceremony, Harvey also accepted interviews from media reporters and boasted about the new company.

Then he returned to his office and looked through his collection of scripts and project lists, as well as a list of overseas films.

Due to the conflict with Disney this year, we had to give up the awards season, but we will definitely compete vigorously next year to make a good start for the new company.

Originally, Harvey had a very good project prepared at Miramax called "The Queen".

But he was fired by Disney, and the copyright of the project naturally remained with Miramax.

Given Michael Eisner's character, he would rather throw this project into the sewer than transfer it to Weinstein Pictures.

The assistant knocked on the door and said, "President, Jennifer Siebel is here and she wants to see you."

Harvey remembered this actress with a good image and temperament, and said, "Let her come in."

Sibel entered the office and sat opposite Harvey. He looked at the fat man and said cautiously, "Harvey..."

Harvey was very busy at work and seemed a little impatient: "If you have anything to say, just tell me directly, don't waste time."

Sibel bit her lip and said directly without hesitation, "I'm here for the casting of Hollywood Manor. I participated in the first two auditions of the project in early and late October. Everything went well at first, but after the third audition, the casting director told me that I was not suitable for the role of the heroine and asked me to audition for the third female role."

Harvey didn't take this little thing seriously at all, and asked casually, "Did you participate?"

"Uh..." Sibel was speechless for a moment, then reacted: "You promised me that you would let me play the leading role in this movie."

Harvey really didn't take this kind of promise seriously. He had done many similar things in the past. If he was lucky, those women, who especially made him feel comfortable, would be given a role afterwards, such as Rose McGowan.

There were also some who came with nothing, and after being carefully studied by him, left empty-handed as well.

He thought about it and it seemed to be true: "Has the female lead been confirmed for that project?"

Siebel said, "It's confirmed. Diane Lane will play the role."

Harvey remembered that this was his order, because although Diane Lane was a little older, she was very open-minded and allowed him to play everywhere. She also wanted to introduce him to Meryl Streep, so he gave the female leading role to her.

He had long forgotten about Sibel.

The person came directly to him, and Harvey was not stupid. He immediately found an excuse: "It's not that your audition performance was bad, nor that I don't want you to play the leading role, but there were unpredictable changes in the middle of the project."

Xibel didn't trust him to begin with, and now she was even more suspicious.

Harvey continued: "You should have heard about my conflict with Walt Disney? You should have heard that I was forced to leave Miramax?"

"I heard about it." Sibel had been reading the entertainment news.

Harvey said: "I left Miramax and founded Weinstein Pictures, but I couldn't lead Miramax's film projects. The copyright of Hollywoodland was in Disney's hands. I had no say in the third audition. I couldn't influence who the crew chose."

Sibel didn't believe him: "But the leading actor is still Ben Affleck..."

This man and Matt Damon are known as each other's two lackeys.

Harvey's face darkened: "Do you think I have to lie to you?"

Xibel didn't dare to offend him in person: "Sorry, I didn't mean that."

Harvey waved his hand: "Okay, you can go."

Sibel asked, "My role?"

Harvey lowered his head and continued to look through the script list: "I'll have someone notify you when there's a suitable one."

The assistant came in at this time and asked Sibel to go out.
