The Wolf of Los Angeles.
Chapter 472 The Good Guy and True Love are Leonardo's People
A Bentley Continental sped past Ocean Avenue, roared into the underground parking lot of Coast Building, and stopped in front of the dedicated elevator on the 16th floor.
Director Eric Eason, who exuded a literary and artistic style, jumped out of the car grabbing a form, ran into the elevator, went up to the 16th floor, adjusted his expression a little, and walked quickly towards the chairman's office.
Passing by the glass-door office, Edward came out and asked Eric, "Why are you here?"
Eric couldn't suppress the curled corners of his mouth: "I have good news to report to the boss."
Edward led him into Hawke's office.
Before Hawke could say anything, Eric came over quickly, put the form in his hand on the desk, and said, "'Los Angeles Fire' has been released in North America for three days, and it's a big hit at the box office! It's a big hit at the box office!"
Edward said, "We got the news."
Eric's mouth was almost split to his ears. He held Edward's shoulders with both hands and shook him vigorously: "Our box office and word of mouth are both huge. Both are huge!"
Hawke took a bottle of water and handed it to Eric: "Drink some water and calm down first."
Edward felt like his brain was about to be shaken into a puddle of mud, so he quickly shook it off and said loudly, "Dude, you're also an Oscar-winning director, calm down."
Eric unscrewed the water bottle and took two sips. The cold water went into his stomach and his emotions calmed down a little. He said, "On the first day of its release in North America, Los Angeles Fire earned $3302 million. On the second day, it earned $2625 million. With yesterday's revenue, the North American box office revenue for the first weekend is $8245 million!"
He said with emotion: "That fire, and the series of news events related to the fire that broke out recently, have had a huge impact on the box office of the movie."
Hawke patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't ignore your role as a director. If the film is not of sufficient quality, the box office will explode on the first day at best, but then the market will weaken due to poor word of mouth."
Edward stared at Eric and shook his head: "I never thought that a bastard like you would become a top director in Hollywood."
He still remembered that a few years ago, Eric was harassed by a gay NFL star and was almost scared to tears.
Eric spread his hands and said, "Dude, I'm not even a big director yet, but you're already a multi-millionaire!"
Edward chuckled.
Eric also talked about the current reputation of the film. The Rotten Tomatoes score is as high as 92%, and it has been certified fresh. IMDB has collected more than 3 user ratings, with an average of 8.9. The MetaCritic media comprehensive score is 90, and it has been awarded the must-see certification!
Additionally, CinemaScore audiences gave the film an A rating.
All of this indicates that "Los Angeles Fire" will have an unusually solid box office performance.
CinemaScore predicts that the film's North American box office will be around $3.5 million.
According to Hollywood's calculation rules, this film will not generate any profit from the North American box office alone, and Tom Cruise's promise to donate the North American box office profits will inevitably go to waste.
Hawke is a meticulous person. For the sake of long-term interests, he discussed with Eric and called Tom Cruise.
This is just a matter of changing the accounting method.
Hawke hung up the phone and thought to himself that I was indeed a good person who worked so hard to save the "suffering American people."
Then he made another phone call, asking the people who had infiltrated the Suffering America to take advantage of the chaos to continue to incite people and intensify the attacks on the Donkey Party and the Feminist Movement.
Eric didn't stay long and left the Coast Building for Paramount.
As we all know, in this era when Hollywood has not yet declined, movies that are box office hits in North America will also receive good responses in overseas markets.
As "Los Angeles Fire" sold well at the box office and received rave reviews, its influence spread rapidly.
This fire and this movie revealed a bloody lesson to the whole United States: extreme feminism and the Donkey Party that has always supported it can only hinder important affairs and can do nothing at all.
A few years ago, it would have been difficult to spread such public opinion.
But the rapid rise of Twitter, the largest media on the Internet and the kind of media that can directly push content to the front of users, has completely changed this situation.
Twitter now has nearly 8000 million active users in the United States. As long as Hawke wants, relevant information will reach the audience directly.
Various events commemorating the Los Angeles fire were held in Los Angeles and Southern California.
Not only in California, under Hawke's instigation and coordination, the branches of the National Association for the Advocate of Colored People in various places also mobilized people to organize marches and rallies again.
Although the Donkey and the Elephant parties have been constantly breaking the default rules of the game in recent years, the overall framework of the game has not changed, and public opinion directly affects the social structure.
…………
Los Angeles has become the world of the LGBTQ community and fire victims. Feminist organizations such as the Sisterhood March have been severely impacted, and countless people have dug up old accounts of the Los Angeles fire and want to settle accounts with them.
Too many people suffered huge losses in the Los Angeles fire, and their own interests were affected, so they were nailed as villains by the movie and public opinion.
Michelle had to temporarily leave Los Angeles, the foundation of the feminist movement, and go to San Francisco.
Hollywood, which originally supported them, remained silent and even stood against the sister parade because too many Hollywood stars and producers' houses were burned down in the fire.
The Donkey Gang in Los Angeles was being defeated and was unable to take care of itself, so how could they have the energy to care about them?
The best hope now is San Francisco.
As long as the Donald Trump party in Northern California can suppress the explosive offensive from Southern California, the sister parade will be able to turn the tide.
When she arrived in San Francisco, she went straight to the Sisterhood Parade branch and found that the situation there was not optimistic either, as the door was being blocked by the LGBTQ community.
That night, Fiona took Michelle to a club in the southern Bay Area.
The two met with San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newson and Mayor's Assistant Gittens.
Fiona made the introductions for Gavin and Michelle.
Gavin didn't waste any words and said directly: "The situation is not optimistic. The opponent keeps attacking. We can only passively defend at present. This is not a solution."
Fiona continued, "We originally had an absolute advantage in San Francisco, and no one expected that an accident like Philip would suddenly happen."
Gavin could only sigh softly. The situation in San Francisco was ruined by the old black man Philip.
Michelle asked: "Can't we accept compensation and reach an out-of-court settlement to calm the pressure from the family first?"
As soon as these words came out, Gavin and Gittens' eyes were all on her.
Michelle didn't know what she said wrong, so she quickly shut up.
Gittens thought that the other party was the chairman of the Sisters Parade, so he explained: "The City Hall classified the mistake of the Philip incident as the personal mistake of former police officer Williams. He will be prosecuted and held criminally responsible and liable for civil compensation. But if the City Hall backs down, the responsibility will become the responsibility of the San Francisco government and the ruling party. The most critical point of our defense line will be breached, which will cause a major collapse in public opinion."
Michelle is good at shouting girl-fist slogans and punching in the air, but when it comes to high-level fights, her performance is just as unqualified as when she was the deputy chief of the Fire Department.
Gavin was somewhat disappointed with Michelle, as this opinion leader didn't seem to be very good at doing things.
Fiona said, "Just defending is too passive. We must fight back. All of this is caused by the Los Angeles Group. Once their support is gone, public opinion will naturally calm down."
Gavin agreed: "That's right, I asked you to come here to discuss counterattack strategies."
Michelle looked at Fiona, then at Gavin, and suddenly felt that she was not taken seriously.
Fiona gave in automatically: "Michelle came here this time and brought some solutions."
During their previous phone conversation, she had specifically provided Michelle with some ideas.
Michelle thought it was good and could be used.
Fiona would naturally make these her contributions as a leader.
Just as the LGBTQ community rushed to the front of the Los Angeles group, Gavin also needs a social team to rush forward for him.
Environmentalist organizations are not easy to use because the Donkey Party and the Elephant Party are using them.
In comparison, women's boxing is more pure.
In the words of Jerry Brown, these childless cat lovers are stupid and paranoid, and are the best tools in their hands.
Gavin asked, "What's your idea? Tell me more about it."
Michelle felt that she was back to her normal self and regained her confidence as an opinion leader. She said, "Sister March has been developing in Los Angeles for many years and has a wide range of supporters from all walks of life. Many of them look no different from normal people, but they speak up for us in the public opinion field and on the Internet and are firm supporters of the sisterhood."
Gavin said he understood, and his girlfriend Jennifer Siebel was also such a person.
Michelle said: "We can find people who support the sisterhood in the core figures of the Los Angeles group, whether it is a company or a cooperative group. As long as we provide the necessary financial support, they dare to stand up."
Gittens understood what was going on and warned, "Don't target Hawke Osment. Someone did something similar a few years ago, and the result was not ideal."
"No, we're not targeting Hawke Osment. He's too difficult to deal with." Michelle took out a newspaper she brought with her, which reported the premiere of "Los Angeles Fire".
She pointed at the people above and said, "Many of these are important figures in the Los Angeles Group, especially Brian Ferguson."
Gittens nodded: "You can try."
Gavin looked at Michelle and said, "You go back to Los Angeles and start implementing it immediately."
Michelle felt that the opportunity had come again, and responded: "Leave it to me."
The four of them discussed for a long time before Michelle and Fiona left together.
Gavin stood at the window, looking at the cruise ship with its lights on in the sea, and asked, "Is there no response from Silaree yet?"
"Not yet." Gittens elaborated, "Sharma is in charge of this matter. According to him, he has leaked the news to Hillary, but Los Angeles has been very calm, and the Satanist Church has not shown any signs of action. It seems that nothing has happened." Gavin hopes that Hillary can take action against Los Angeles to share the pressure on his side. He said, "Let Sharma find a way to do it again. Jerry Brown said that the person in the video is Zipperton."
Gittens wrote it down and reminded him, "Some of Jerry's actions were too conservative. If he hadn't suggested using tough measures to deal with the Philip incident..."
Gavin raised his hand to interrupt him: "Jerry is very experienced and can handle some things more safely."
Although his ability to handle affairs was not strong, Gavin knew one thing: under the current circumstances, no internal problems could occur.
On the way back in the car, Fiona looked very stressed: "Things in Los Angeles depend on you. I have to stay in San Francisco to resist the collective attack of the Matthew Syndicate, the Compton Foundation, the National Association for the Protection of the Rights of Colored People, and those bastards who sympathize with Philip."
This was exactly what Michelle wanted. In recent months, she had the illusion that she had been forgotten by her sisters, and even felt that Fiona was the real person in charge of the sisters' parade.
Because of the problems encountered by the Sisters’ March, most of the funding for the event was solved by Fiona.
Michelle knew very well that since the Los Angeles fire, many people within the sorority had been dissatisfied with her, believing that her collaboration with former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio had plunged the sorority into an unprecedented crisis.
If she doesn't stand up and prove herself, she will probably be forgotten.
Michelle held Fiona's arm, her face full of sisterly love, and encouraged her: "You must hold on. Wait for me to make a breakthrough in Los Angeles."
One of the characteristics of female boxing is that they never know themselves. As the leader of her own female boxing, Michelle has taken this characteristic to the extreme: "I will knock them all down in Los Angeles."
Fiona still put herself in the position of deputy: "I will stick with you until you win."
Halfway through the journey, Michelle returned to the hotel where she was staying and prepared to book a flight back to Los Angeles.
Fiona returned to the San Francisco branch, took out her dedicated encrypted cell phone and called Los Angeles.
The sister parade's expansion northward was originally planned by Hawke.
…………
Los Angeles, Beverly Hills.
The screening of "The Departed" is being held on the rooftop terrace of the Ritz-Carlton Hotel.
Director Martin Scorsese was the most active person in the audience.
In order to win the Oscar for Best Director, which has eluded him for thirty years, this one of the four great directors of the 1980s invited three old friends to the event tonight.
Spielberg, Coppola and George Lucas came one after another to support Martin Scorsese.
Matt Damon, one of the two leading actors in the film, looked at the four directors gathered together and said to Leonardo: "We are the winners of this year's Oscars."
Leonardo DiCaprio said, "'Los Angeles Fire' is very popular right now and should not be underestimated."
Matt Damon, who had no connection with that place, asked, "Who is behind that film?"
"It's not someone from the circle." Leonardo showed in public that he had a bad relationship with that side: "It's those bastards on Twitter."
On the surface, they are all supporters of the Donkey Party, so naturally they have a bad impression of the Object Party.
Matt Damon suddenly became less talkative when he heard Twitter's name.
He heard from his big boss Harvey Weinstein that if he messed with people at Twitter, he shouldn't ask Weinstein Company for help.
Leonardo changed the subject: "Have you ever paid attention to the box office of Los Angeles Fire?"
"It broke a series of North American box office records in October." Matt Damon just read the box office report today: "The second weekend box office is close to 4700 million US dollars, and the cumulative North American box office is 1.75 million US dollars."
He exclaimed: "Sometimes you have to admire that a movie adapted from a hot topic, with a star like Tom Cruise joining in, has great commercial appeal."
Leonardo saw Sean Combs, the P.D., who was accompanied by a shorter blonde woman.
Chui Niu also noticed Leonardo and walked over quickly, pulling the woman.
Leonardo took the initiative to leave Matt Damon and went to an empty observation deck nearby.
Chui Niu followed closely and hugged Leonardo with open arms, while one hand reached down and pinched Leonardo's butt.
Leonardo smelled a scent of cologne that went straight to his soul, and he opened the bragging hand and said, "Don't make such a boring joke."
Boasting to provide all kinds of good stuff for many big guys of the donkey party, it seems that his status in the entertainment industry is not as good as Leonardo, but in fact he is a real white glove. He took back his hand and said with a lewd smile: "You are fatter than before."
Leonardo didn't want to discuss this topic, so he pointed his chin at the short blonde woman and said, "Would you like to introduce yourself?"
Chui Niu pulled the woman over and said, "This is Stefani Germanotta. She has already released a short album and has just signed to my record company. Her stage name is Lady Gaga. She will be the singer I promote in the next few years."
Gaga shook hands with Leonardo respectfully: "Nice to meet you."
Leonardo just nodded at her.
Chui Niu waved his hand, waited for Gaga to walk away, and then asked, "How about it, are you interested? She'd be happy to keep you company for a few nights."
Leonardo looked at Gaga's back and said directly: "Her legs are very short, her breasts are not well-shaped, her face is very plain, and except for her dyed blonde hair, none of them meets my requirements."
As a dedicated good man, Leonardo has only ever eaten gutter oil except for beautiful models under 25 years old, and he immediately refused: "Don't bring this kind of stuff to me in the future."
"If you want good stuff, come to the party." Bragging has always wanted to try the effect of baby oil on Leonardo: "Next month I will organize a party in Los Angeles and invite many friends to participate. The carnival will last for three days."
Leonardo asked casually, "The old place?"
He boasted, "My new villa in Malibu has just been renovated, so the event will be held in Malibu. The environment there is better."
Leonardo pointed to the huge poster hanging at the screening site and said, "The Departed will be released overseas soon. I have to go to Europe for overseas promotion and may not be able to make it back in time."
Chui Niu also saw the release dates of the film in France, the UK and other markets on the poster, and couldn't help but feel regretful: "Without you, I always feel that the party lacks soul."
Leonardo's hair stood on end when he heard this. Does this old black man have any ideas?
The braggart continued, "It's okay. When you are free, I will organize a party just for you and we will party for a week."
For the sake of safety later, Leonardo responded vaguely: "We'll talk about it when the time comes."
At this time, Gaga came over and waved to Chuiniu outside the observation deck, as if there was something going on.
Leonardo sent him away quickly: "Go and take care of something."
"Let's keep in touch." Chui Niu walked out of the viewing platform reluctantly.
Leonardo suddenly felt completely relaxed both physically and mentally.
As Chuanniu walked away, he suddenly turned back and looked at Leonardo on the observation deck again.
Although this Hollywood superstar's face has become wider, his belly has become fatter, and his butt has become much bigger, he still has such outstanding temperament, like the brightest star in the night.
Boasting said to himself: "Leo, my favorite!"
Gaga looked at Chui Niu, then turned back to look at Leonardo, and felt that there seemed to be an unspeakable secret between the two of them.
When leader Anton Ravi sent her out, he specifically instructed her to collect information about the people around Xilali.
Gaga is a smart woman. She knows that the leader is controlled by Xilali, and wants to get some secrets to make their partnership more equal.
Leonardo knew very well that if he continued to stay with Silari, he would not only have to eat gutter oil, but also black sausages.
It feels great to use baby oil on others, but it would be horrible if a man, especially an old black man, used baby oil on himself.
Thinking of this, Leonardo's legs became weak and his body tilted.
A hand reached out from the side, and it was Tom Hanks, with whom he had worked before in "Catch Me If You Can", who supported him.
Hanks had his signature simple and honest smile on his face. Anyone who saw him like this, the first impression and even the Nth impression afterwards, would think that he was a good guy.
The good man looked around and saw that there was no one, so he asked Leonardo: "Leo, when is the next party on the island? Have you received the notice?"
Leonardo shook his head: "Not yet." He acted as usual: "Why? Tom, can't wait any longer."
Hanks still smiled innocently: "Daddy misses his good daughters."
Leonardo pointed to someone not far away and said, "You should ask Steven. He has more information."
Hanks seemed to be joking: "Grandpa Steven's wonderful granddaughters have not been in touch with him, and he is very sad."
Leonardo shrugged: "No way, no one contacted me."
Hanks's simple smile turned into disappointment, and he sighed: "Epstein is not very reliable."
Leonardo said, "You can go to the bragging party."
Hanks had seen the braggart just now and said, "I'll go ask him if he has any good stuff."
After he left, Leonardo felt a little relieved. Although Tom Hanks was not a good person, he was not like bragging and always thought about himself.
Tonight's screening was a huge success, with Martin Scorsese giving away gifts totaling hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Leonardo left the party and returned to his home in Brentwood. He took out an encrypted cell phone and called Hawke to tell him in detail about the upcoming party. (End of this chapter)
