American Gossip King

Chapter 61 Even the police are being framed

Inside the Pioneer Newspaper's office lobby, Ian was still giving instructions.

At that moment, he said to Ron Lloyd, "Bill is at the police station now. Go and get him for a further interview, but before our interview is out, I won't allow any other colleagues to interview him before us. Dig out all his stories, dig deep!"

Lloyd nodded frantically: "Don't worry, boss, Bill is ours, nobody can take him away. You gave him money and saved his life, he should be grateful, otherwise we can say something else... Bill being greedy and ungrateful is a story!"

Ian smiled.

That's right, that's it.

Lloyd turned to his men and called out, "Lill, you and I are going to interview Bill. You two go to the police station and interview Chief Berton. Ask him what made him support his police officers shooting an innocent teenager."

"I haven't heard of Chief Betton issuing this order."

Lloyd roared, "Forget all that, just ask the question. Their whitewashing is their problem; we need a juicy story. Hurry up, all of you!"

All the editors sprang into action, like secret agents carrying out emergency orders.

Scarlett watched this scene with excitement.

This was the first time she had seen how reporters worked, and she was filled with a sense of wonder.

Ian then said, "Scarlett, would you be willing to do an interview with the Herald? Like, about your experience saving that boy. I can portray you as a true heroine!"

Scarlett chuckled: "You've come to interview me, in bed!"

"Yay!!!" The editors in the hall whistled wildly at the same time.

Someone shouted, "This is also an ingredient, boss!"

Ian modestly waved his hand: "Not yet, guys, not yet. Good news needs to be timed perfectly!"

Scarlett felt a little angry, but she couldn't bring herself to be.

Wait, why am I angry?

This means we'll eventually go public with our relationship and start dating!

Her eyes sparkled with happiness!

She bit her lower lip, her eyes filled with Ian!

So much Ian!

I feel so happy!

"Extra number! Extra number!"

"Los Angeles police attempted to shoot and kill a suicidal teenager!"

"Ian Carr and Scarlett Janssen stepped forward to save a suicidal teenager."

"A Hollywood actress plays a real-life heroine, exchanging an autograph for a suicide bomber's gun. This might be the most worthwhile deal in the world."

As the news was broadcast, the story quickly went viral across the United States.

In reality, this news story may not be of much value; it's just about stopping a suicidal teenager.

But this matter involves several things.

First, Los Angeles police had shot a suicidal teenager. Second, Ian Carr appeared, and Ian is now a celebrity himself. Third, a Hollywood actress personally intervened and saved the suicidal teenager—at Ian Carr's behest, most of the credit was given to Scarlett Johansson.

That's what makes it exciting.

Similar incidents have occurred before, such as Harrison Ford rescuing a mountain climber who was injured, thus turning a movie hero into a real-life hero.

The connection between film and television and reality can easily spark discussion and become a hot topic.

Unfortunately, this wasn't an exclusive story from the Los Angeles Herald and couldn't be a condition for Ian to fulfill the bet.

In this situation, although Scarlett was not very famous to begin with, she was quickly hyped up.

"That girl named Scarlett Jansen is nice; she's very courageous."

"Oh my god, she's so beautiful!"

"She's not only beautiful, she also has a heart of gold!"

"God, I want to kill myself too. Scarlett, I'm in Florida, I'd point a gun at my own head for you. I don't want your autograph, I just want your foot bath water!"

Fake!

You stole Durant's thunder and ruined a great story for the future!

Florida truly lives up to its reputation as the most productive state. I'd like to take a trip there sometime and see if I can interview any of those magical creatures like the Twisted Treant or the Frost Archer...

Ian's report made Scarlett Jansen a sensation, her fame skyrocketing, much to the delight of her agent, though little did she know it would be her last moment of happiness.

Interestingly, some people have also linked Scarlett Johansson and Kate Beckinsale together.

Both of them are connected to Ian, except one was rescued and the other rescued someone.

Some people even took Scarlett's statement that she "likes Ian" and made a big deal out of it, suggesting that Ian might be changing his mind.

The latest novel is first published here!

Touchstone Pictures personally called Ian to say they had a great idea—which was simply Weinstein using the opportunity to reveal Ian's idea.

With this incident, it seems perfectly logical that Ian would fall for someone else.

Ian said that as long as the price was right, it was negotiable.

The key point is that I don't seem to have to bear the label of a scumbag anymore.

Although Ian doesn't care about his reputation, a good reputation can be sold later, so why is he in such a hurry to sell it now?

The Southern Media Group in China was also very happy—they had another legitimate reason to promote the American torch. All they had to do was ignore the police shooting and focus on the storylines of reporters and celebrities saving lives. They could also reflect on why our celebrities couldn't do the same.

………………

Los Angeles Herald newspaper.

After completing a round of work and testing the effects of hypnosis, Ian Carl finally fully confirmed the abilities of his left eye.

Hypnosis can enhance one's persuasiveness, but this enhancement has a limitation: it is only effective immediately and will revert to its original state afterward.

But fortunately, it also depends on the persuasiveness itself.

If the other party is 90% interested, then by using persuasion, even if they regret it later, they may not be able to deny it.

If you're only 10% attracted to someone, even if you manage to temporarily hypnotize them into agreeing despite the pain in your eyes, they'll quickly wake up and regret it.

This ability has certain limitations when used in business negotiations.

After all, most business negotiations involve procedures. Even if someone agrees to your terms at the time, there's always a possibility of regret if the contract isn't signed immediately. Even after signing, they can still back out, especially the client who's supposed to pay—so what if the contract is signed? I won't pay, and the contract is automatically void!

However, if the fluctuation is only around 10%, the chance of regretting it is not high.

Another issue is that large-scale business negotiations may require persuading many people, which takes a heavy toll on the eyes.

Therefore, while hypnosis can improve negotiation effectiveness, its effect is limited.

That's not bad either.

A 10% fluctuation in a large business negotiation could amount to hundreds of millions, but the real problem is that Ian is not qualified to conduct business negotiations worth hundreds of millions right now.

Having confirmed this, Ian finished his work and returned to his hotel.

I made my way to the top floor and knocked on the door.

The door opened, and there stood Scarlett.

The girl wore a white short-sleeved shirt that showed off her beautiful figure, and looked at Ian with bright eyes full of hope.

Then the girl jumped onto Ian and kissed him passionately.
