The Wolf of Los Angeles - Chapter 292
Back at the company, Caroline handed over the invitation letter sent by Hilton Group to Hawke.
The party was held at the Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, and a large number of Hilton Group’s cooperative companies and celebrities were invited.
Caroline also received the invitation and asked Hawke with anticipation: “Are you going? If you go, we can go there together.”
The two sides are talking about cooperation in advertising, and Hawke must go there and said, “Yes.”
Caroline smiled and laughed out loud, and came out of the office, thinking about what hairstyle to make, what kind of clothes to wear, and which high heels to wear.
It seemed as if someone had hung a carrot in front of the sheep’s nose.
As he got off work, Hawke called Erica, who was working overtime and had no time recently.
He packed his desk and called Edward to a men’s clothing customization store in Santa Monica, and chose a new formal outfit.
After leaving the men’s clothing store, Hawke received a call from Campos.
Both sides met in the safe house.
Campos took out two file bags and handed them to Hawke: “This is a work and life photo of Manninger Jenkinson and Tina Russell, as well as public information, and the rest are still being investigated.”
Hawke opened the file bag and looked at it.
Manninger is a middle-aged white man in his forties. He is a strong young R&F in the TV industry. He worked on Channel 11 in Los Angeles a long time ago. Later, Channel 11 was acquired by Fox TV. He joined Fox and became a producer. He became deputy director all the way.
Tina Russell, 33 years old, is a white woman. He joined Fox Channel 11 in 1997. His current position is similar to Meghan, serving as the host and producer of Channel 11’s seven-point news, and also serves as the deputy director of Channel 11.
Both of them are married, the former has a 15-year-old son, and the latter has no children at present.
From the public information, Manninger, the full-time deputy director, seems to be more promoted.
But Cynthia Rosberg’s retirement report focused on Megan.
Campos mentioned one point: “Fiona went to the Fox TV Center in the afternoon under the name of a freelance journalist selling news and found out that Hilton Group invited Fox Channel 11 to attend a collaborator party.”
Hawke took out his cell phone and called Megan: “Does Channel 11 cooperate with Hilton Group?”
“One of Channel 11’s largest advertisers,” Megan said.
Hawke continued, “Hilton Group invites Channel 11 to the collaborator party in Los Angeles, and you ask who will represent Channel 11.”
“I’ll call now.” Megan hung up the phone and called the Ace News program team again. He quickly called the phone back and said to Hawk: “The one representing Channel 11 is Manninger. ”
Hawke said, “I get it.”
Megan said again: “If I can be discharged from the hospital and fight with Cynthia, I will probably go there.”
“You keep lying flat, giving people the illusion of being seriously ill,” Hawke said.
Megan responded, “I understand.”
Hawke put his phone away and said to Campos: “Continue to investigate these two people.”
“Yes.” Campos responded, talked about some other situations, and left quickly.
The next morning, Hawke received a call that the goods transported from Florida were delivered to the warehouse near Los Angeles International Airport, and a delivery address was provided.
Hawke directly asked FedEx to deliver the goods to Twitter and ordered Edward to pick up the goods.
Frank gave a few in the Venice Beach parking lot, Edward kept a few, and Brian gave a few more.
He also asked Erica and left a few more.
In the afternoon, Frank called and invited Hawk and Edward to the parking lot to have a barbecue third sister-in-law.
In the sunset, a complete set of barbecue stoves were placed in front of the RV in the parking lot.
Frank divided three skinned green-skinned lizards into two from the middle, each half penetrated into steel drills and grilled on a charcoal stove.
Spread with sauce, a strange fragrance drifts with the wind.
Edward stood by the oven, looking at the golden baked lizard with half a triangle head, and asked, “Is this something edible?”
Hawke sat at the table, just opened the can of beer and said, “Don’t you know? This thing is in line with dinosaurs. From the perspective of barbecue, this is roasted dinosaur meat.”
Edward believed Hawk’s words, but couldn’t believe Frank, and muttered, “Good ingredients also require a good chef.”
Frank, wearing large sunglasses, heard that he doubted his barbecue skills and immediately became angry: “Not to mention lizard meat, even a cotton planter, I can still put it on the oven, so that it makes you drool.”
“Is that true?” Edward reacted and stretched out one leg: “You bake!”
Frank picked up a steel drill from the side and was about to thrust down. Edward was so scared that he quickly pulled his leg back.
Because Frank’s legs are not his legs, but between his legs. This is what Edward eats.
Frank took back the steel spindle: “I have dinosaur meat today, so I won’t roast a cotton planter for the time being.”
The roasted lizard was ready, and Hawk brought a few trays over.
Frank ended up sprinkling with cumin and chili powder and placed on a tray.
The three of them sat at the table, poured a glass of beer on each side, and tasted the barbecue green-shang lizard.
Hawk tore a piece of meat, stuffed it into his mouth, and gave Frank a thumbs up: “There is a standard for a chef.”
But Edward said, “It should be that the ingredients are good enough.”
Frank automatically entered the state of King of Kings and said, “I spent time practicing this barbecue cooking. With the barbecue, I had three Hollywood actresses, including Sophia Roland and Elizabeth. Taylor lay down obediently.”
But Hawke caught the keyword: “Sophia Roland and Elizabeth Taylor are your ex-wife?”
Frank picked up the wine glass, drank all the beer inside in one sip, and smiled without saying a word.
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
Hawke said, “You’re bragging again. I’ve never heard of Sophia Roland and Elizabeth Taylor having an ex-husband named Frank.”
Frank waved his hand and said, “You can understand whatever you want.”
Edward poured beer into his empty cup and asked curiously: “Did you have any of Audrey Hepburn?”
Frank still smiled, and was full of momentum.
“I don’t believe it,” Edward said, “She has few scandals.”
Frank and Hawke clinked glasses, drank and ate meat, and were too lazy to talk to this black fool.
Hawke came here for barbecue today, not only to try Frank’s craftsmanship, but also to ask him something: “Do you know Manninger Jenkinson, the current deputy director of Fox 11?”
Frank showed a memory, and after thinking for a long time, he said, “It seems a bit familiar, but the name is sorry for the person.”
Hawke took out two photos from his inner pocket of the jacket and handed them over: “This is what he looked like when he was young and now.”
Frank took it, looked at it one after another, and returned it to Hawk, and shook his head directly: “I don’t know you.”
He returned to the king’s state: “When I was in Hollywood, I was standing on the top, and he only stood at the foot of the mountain. Looking down from the top, the black crows at the foot of the mountain were all humans. How could I remember such a small person? ”
Hawke asked again: “Where is Tina Russell? She is also the deputy director of Channel 11, and she is only 33 years old.”
“I don’t know.” Frank shook his head firmly: “She is too young.”
Hawke knew that this information encyclopedia would not be used.
The plug-in cannot be used, so you can only take other ways.
Frank was the first acquaintance Hawke officially met after coming to Los Angeles. The old man asked softly: “The next target is them?”
Hawke didn’t need to hide it from him and said, “It’s the director of Channel 11.”
Frank smiled: “Megan Taylor wants to compete for the helmsman of Channel 11, and this position is not easy to rise, and it is difficult for Roger Ayers to handle.”
Hawke had to ask, but simply said, “Can Roger Ayers be dealt with by legitimate means?”
“Roger Ayles made his mark in the media industry in the 1980s, and some of his reputation belongs to the consensus in the industry.” Frank said it very directly: “Often women want to get opportunities from him, it is nothing more than that thought. I dare not say anything else, but at least one-third of the female hosts on Fox TV did not rely on their abilities, but took Roger Ayers’ shortcuts.”
He took a sip of beer and continued, “Similarly, there are many not, especially the directors of various sub-TV stations. The host can take shortcuts because the program process and manuscript are well planned, and the host of the teleprompter looks like a vase. But the director of the sub-TV station must ensure sufficient capabilities. Channel 11 is an important TV station for the entire California and even the western region. Once an unexpected situation occurs, Roger Ayers will also give the Murdoch family an explanation.”
Hawke responded: “Because the real emperor of the Fox Group was Murdoch, not Roger Ayers.”
Frank laughed: “You see the key point, if Roger Ayers makes a serious mistake, the Murdoch family will also let him do anything.”
Hawke said, “What if there is only one best option?”
Frank thought carefully for a while and said, “I have had several dealings with Roger Ayers, provided that he cannot be disgusted.”
He paused a little and added: “The fierce competition, within his acceptance range, if he cannot win in the internal competition, how can he compete with his opponent?”
Hawke poured him beer and clinked his glasses: “You are experienced and look at things from a different perspective than young people. Every time you ask for it, you will gain something.”
Frank took a sip of beer and looked at the RV behind him: “You not only gave me a RV, but also built a recreation room in the company, and specially found the security guards to play with me. I can’t eat and drink for nothing.”
Edward couldn’t help but mock him: “I didn’t expect you, an old beggar, to be a professional ethics.”
“It’s nobler than you cotton planters who don’t grow cotton!” Frank looked at Edward with contempt and said to Hawk, “You should buy a farm outside and send this guy to grow cotton.” (This chapter over)
