The Wolf of Los Angeles.

Century City, Fox Tower.

Hawke, dressed in a formal suit, took the elevator upstairs and came to the banquet hall on the eighth floor.

He asked Edward to show the invitation sent by Megan Taylor.

The female receptionist in a women's suit smiled and said, "Mr. Osmond, welcome. Fox is honored to have you here."

Hawke nodded slightly and entered the banquet hall.

This was a partner party held by Fox Group, and an invitation was sent specifically to him.

There is no need to say much about 1986th Century Fox. Since its establishment in , Fox Television Network has been rooted in Los Angeles for more than ten years.

This TV station, known as the Elephant Propaganda Department, is based in California and has developed into one of the top five television networks in the United States.

Megan had been paying attention to the entrance of the banquet hall. When she saw Hawke, she walked over quickly and said, "I thought you were not coming."

Hawke smiled and said, "Since you personally delivered the invitation, I will definitely come."

The two walked forward and came to the center of the banquet hall.

Standing here was a fat old man and a white man about 30 years old.

The former Hawke knew Roger Ailes, the chairman of Fox Television Network.

The latter has not been seen.

Roger Ailes glanced at Megan and his eyes fell on Hawke.

Megan quickly introduced both sides.

The white man is James Murdoch, who came on behalf of the Murdoch family.

Roger Ailes stood still and nodded: "I have heard of you. You provided a lot of key news for Fox TV in the past."

Hawke said politely: "I hope there will be more opportunities for cooperation in the future."

Roger Ailes responded: "It will happen."

He turned to deal with the other guests.

James Murdoch stepped forward and shook Hawke's hand: "Twitter, which you founded, has been shining brightly on the Internet in the past six months."

"Twitter is just starting to develop, and Fox is the benchmark for the media industry," Hawke said.

The Murdoch family is mainly engaged in the media industry and can also see the influence of the Internet. James Murdoch also said: "One day when we have time, we can discuss in detail the development and cooperation of the media industry."

"Anytime." Hawke took out his business card and handed it over.

James Murdoch accepted it and gave his business card.

This kind of occasion is not suitable for much chatting, and James Murdoch, as one of the hosts, is also very busy.

Hawke put away the business card, said a few polite words, and went somewhere else with Megan.

Megan specifically took him to meet the director of Channel 11.

Cynthia Rothberg was a Jewish woman who was not as enterprising as the young men.

Last time, Hawke gave Pat Kingsley's recording to Megan, who wanted to publish it but was suppressed by the director Cynthia.

As they left, Megan was still talking about this matter: "Cynthia believes that a recording alone cannot shake the Catholic Church, especially since the Los Angeles diocese is very powerful. It is too risky for us to take the initiative to investigate. If we call the police, the LAPD will not investigate."

Hawke himself has many concerns and has not considered publishing it on Twitter, so naturally he will not complain to Fox.

We are all the same kind.

What may be different is that he prepared a human wave tactic.

To be more precise, media ocean is more appropriate.

Hawke said softly, "The Catholic influence is too great."

Megan said one thing: "You may not know this, but the Diocese of Los Angeles donates to the LAPD every year."

Hawke understood: "Take money from others and help them get rid of disasters."

Fox Group is not just a television network, it also includes 20th Century Fox.

At tonight's party, in addition to people working in the media industry, you can also see many celebrities from Hollywood.

Hawke met many directors who had worked with 20th Century Fox, including Ridley Scott, James Cameron, and George Lucas.

There are also stars like Brad Pitt, Hugh Jackman, Halle Berry and Will Smith.

The latter saw Hawke and hid far away.

The meaning is very clear: I can't afford to offend you, but I can afford to avoid you.

The two found a place with few people, each ordered a glass of lemonade, and sat at a small round table to talk.

Hawke then saw Dwayne Johnson.

The latter was speaking to an executive from 20th Century Fox and waved in his direction.

Horn smiled and nodded in response.

Megan, who was standing next to him, poked him and said, "Pat Kingsley."

Hawke followed her gaze and saw Pat Kingsley, wearing a women's suit, walking among a group of directors and producers.

Next to her, Nicole Kidman was wearing a red evening dress, her exposed skin seemed to glow white under the light.

This woman is cool and beautiful, and has delicate skin that is rare among Caucasians.

Megan deliberately asked: "Are you interested in the Oscar-winning actress? I can introduce her to you. I have interviewed her before."

"Forget it." Hawke shook his head slightly: "I'm not interested in her."

Megan pondered and said, "You are the actual planner of the Ice Bucket Challenge. Many people in Hollywood should know that. The Ice Bucket Challenge made Tom Cruise win unanimous praise from the public, which made Nicole Kidman's intention to attack Tom Cruise after the Oscars fail." She actually met Nicole Kidman: "This woman is very narrow-minded. If nothing unexpected happens, she will regard you as an enemy."

Hawke shook his head: "I didn't provoke her, and I don't intend to provoke her."

Megan used to be an entertainment anchor and knows Hollywood very well: "Stars who come from ordinary backgrounds will usually have extremely low self-esteem, which will lead to extreme arrogance after they become famous. If you help Tom Cruise, you will damage her interests."

"I didn't help Tom Cruise," Hawke corrected. "Tom Cruise hired me."

On the other side, Nicole Kidman followed Pat Kingsley and tried to talk to several big directors.

But both Ridley Scott and James Cameron were rather cold towards her.

He simply ignored what Pat Kingsley said about cooperation.

Nicole Kidman was disappointed and left in a huff.

She didn't dare to complain to these first-line directors, but her face looked a little grumpy.

Because of her natural beauty, this expression makes her look unusually cool.

Nicole was the first to come to the bar, ordered a glass of fruit wine, and heard Hugh Jackman chatting with Will Smith next to her.

The latter pointed to a corner of the banquet hall and said, "See the man next to Megan Taylor? He is Hawke Osment, the founder of Twitter."

Hugh Jackman heard: "Hawk Osment of West Coast Studios?"

"Yes, that's him." Will Smith said, "This guy is a complete bastard and villain, stay away from him."

Hugh Jackman wondered: "He seems to have helped a lot of people in the industry, right?"

This is true. Will Smith thought of Red Table Talk and said, "This man gets paid to do his job, there's no doubt about that. Saint Steve, Alison Faith's selfie scandal... they were all his doing."

He is good friends with Tom Cruise and has heard a lot about it: "As for the ice bucket challenge this time, he was in control of everything from planning to implementation, and he successfully helped Tommy solve a lot of problems."

The person who said it didn't care, but the person who heard it kept it in mind.

Nicole Kidman took a sip of wine and turned to look at the corner of the rest area.

It was that ordinary man who made her spend more than half a year to restore her ex-husband's reputation to normal, even better than before.

Her ex-husband is living a good life, which is more painful than her being screwed by Harvey Weinstein.

Nicole Kidman stood up and walked over there, straight to Hawke, and without being invited, she pulled out a chair and sat at the round table, saying, "Good evening, Mr. Osmond."

Hawke asked directly, "What's the matter?"

"Yes, I have a business deal I want to discuss with you." Nicole said sincerely: "Can we find a place to talk alone for a few minutes?"

Megan kicked Hawke and said, "There should be no one on the terrace over there."

Nicole walked towards the terrace next to her.

Hawke held out his hand: "Did you bring a recorder?"

Megan took one out of her handbag and handed it over quietly: "Be careful." She deliberately winked: "I'll meet you outside."

Hawke put it in his coat pocket and went to the terrace as well.

There is a curtain here, separating the chaos of the banquet hall, and it is relatively quiet.

Nicole leaned on the guardrail and said, "I've heard people mention your West Coast studio a long time ago that it's the best PR firm in Los Angeles."

Hawke said, “From what I understand, you have a PR manager.”

"She can't do the job I want to hire you for." Nicole said directly: "Help me plan a plan to ruin Tom Cruise's reputation..."

Seeing Hawke was about to speak, she spoke first: "Listen to my conditions first!"

Nicole Kidman knows exactly what these PR people want: "Whatever Tom Cruise pays you, I'll pay you double!"

Tom Cruise paid Hawke $350 million, which doubled to $700 million.

Hawke stares at Nicole Kidman, and she's clearly not kidding.

Nicole was sincere: "How about it? Work for me."

Hawke was very direct: "If it was Tom who hired me, I would agree to such conditions."

Although his bottom line is not high, he still has basic professional ethics: "Now I can only say sorry."

"Wait a minute." Nicole looked unhappy and grabbed the side of her skirt with her hand.

This action caused Hawke, who had been framed by Bella Sean, to misunderstand.

Mainly because of the repeated interactions with Hollywood in the past two years, the moral bottom line of the stars has been lowered beyond imagination.

Hawke didn't want to cause a scene at the banquet, so he reached out for his recorder and warned, "Ms. Kidman, please respect yourself."

Nicole looked at the recorder in Hawke's hand, and felt the edge of her skirt subconsciously grasped in her hand. Her face turned pale and almost transparent: "Shameless! You pervert!"

She felt extremely humiliated: "You make me feel sick!"

Hawke said nothing, just looked at her.

Nicole turned around and left.

Hawke shook his head, returned to the banquet hall from the terrace, and saw Megan.

Megan asked, "What's wrong?"

Horne shoved the recorder into her hand: "I turned down her offer to hire me to deal with Tom Cruise, and was called shameless."

Megan connected the headphones, listened to it, and comforted her: "Don't take it to heart, these Hollywood stars feel too good about themselves."

She leaned close to Hawke's ear and said, "I'm the only one who understands your kindness."

The two did not stay in the banquet hall for long. They chatted with James Murdoch and left the Fox Building together. (End of this chapter)
