The Wolf of Los Angeles.
Chapter 293 Fanning the flames
Beverly Hills, Hilton Hotel.
Hawke got out of the bulletproof Mercedes, walked quickly into the hotel door, and buttoned up his formal suit.
The sound of high heels hitting the ground could be heard, and Caroline, with her bob hair dyed honey blonde, walked over wearing a pair of black high heels with red soles.
The woman was wearing a red Chanel gift and carrying a new Hermès bag of the season, and her white and gold Cartier bracelet sparkled under the light.
In preparation for this party, Caroline not only selected gifts and jewelry a few days in advance, but also spent most of the day in the styling studio today.
Hawke took a quick look and praised, "Not bad, very fashionable."
Caroline smiled happily: "I specially found a studio to design it for me."
Hawke walked towards Banquet Hall 1.
Caroline held her bag in one hand and hesitated for a moment before tentatively holding Hawke's arm with the other hand.
She followed Hawke's footsteps and said specifically, "These things are all rented."
Hawke said, "It's up to you."
Approaching the banquet hall, the two waited for a while. When Edward came over, they showed him the invitation and entered together.
The ballroom is very large and Hollywood's Golden Globe Awards ceremony is held here every year.
Standing in front of the door were the hosts of the party, Steven Hilton and Richard Hilton from the Hilton family.
Hawke and Caroline came forward, shook hands with them, exchanged greetings, and talked about the upcoming cooperation. The atmosphere was harmonious.
Richard chatted with Hawke alone for a few words: "I heard from Paris that the establishment of the candy and fashion brands came from your planning."
Hawke was very respectful to the sponsor: "I just mentioned it a few times, but it was Paris herself who actually did it."
Richard said: "You helped her get back on track. I came here from New York this time, and Paris's mother asked me to thank you."
"You're welcome," Hawke said.
After the two sides finished talking, Caroline accompanied Hawke into the banquet hall.
As she walked, she said, "The theme promotion plan of Discover Hilton has been recognized by Hilton. We will be able to sign a contract with Hilton Hotel as early as next week."
“This is the first advertising campaign you’ve personally been in control of,” Hawke said.
"I will." Caroline's hand went around Hawk's arm again.
On the opposite side, Paris Hilton walked over with a girl who was slightly taller than her.
She came closer and introduced directly: "Hawke, this is my sister Nikki."
Maybe because she was a model, Nicky Hilton has a supermodel figure and a more attractive appearance than Paris. She was not polite at all. She shook hands with Hawke and said directly: "Can you help me start a business?"
Hawke said seriously: "I don't know you very well. If I give you random advice, it will only cause your business to fail and you will lose money in vain."
Nikki took a small step forward: "It's okay, we can get to know each other better."
When Paris saw her sister being coquettish, her face froze a little. Nikki had just come from New York and had no idea how terrifying the man in front of her was.
Even though Nikki has made her mark in the so-called Upper East Side socialite circle, she is no match for the cases run by Hawke.
Paris quickly pulled Nikki away: "We won't bother you anymore."
Hawke smiled politely: "Please do as you please."
After the two walked away, Caroline asked, "You seem to have a good idea for starting a business?"
"Yes, there is one, but ordinary people can't do it. Only direct members of the Hilton family can do it." Hawke said nonsense casually: "This Nicky Hilton can set up a paper towel company to supply Hilton Hotels..."
Caroline blinked. This type of business could only be accomplished by a direct member of the Hilton family.
On the other side, Paris dragged her sister to a less crowded place and whispered, "What's wrong with you? You're being so naughty!"
Nikki had a strange expression on her face. “I’ve been in Los Angeles for a few days and I’ve heard you bragging about Hawke Osment every day. Now I’ve met him in person and he doesn’t look that special. I want to see if he has any special strengths.”
Paris warned solemnly: "Don't mess with him, he's not easy to mess with, and he has an even harder girlfriend. That woman has killed at least thirty people!"
This surprised Nikki a little, and she saw Britney and said, "Is it okay for me to go find Britney?"
Paris couldn't help but shake her head. This sister was really a worry.
Hawke met Johnson's agent Dany Garcia, who was talking to a tall and obviously fat blonde woman.
When she met Hawke, Dani introduced Hawke to Charlize Theron, a celebrity client she was looking to recruit.
The latter had not yet evolved into the abstinence iceberg type ten years later, and enthusiastically stepped forward to shake Hawke's hand: "I am also a Twitter user. This time, my PR team suggested that I increase the publicity on Twitter because many Academy members are Twitter users."
Hawke asked, "Are you going to compete for the Oscar for Best Actress?" "Yes." Public relations for awards must be high-profile, and Charlize also hopes that Hawke can help her spread some words that are conducive to positive publicity. She specifically said, "At the beginning of the year, I filmed a movie called Monster. In order to fit the prototype of the role, I gained nearly 50 pounds. It was a huge effort, and I haven't regained my figure yet."
Dani wanted to poach CAA’s talent, and said, “I can see that it’s very different from your original image.”
She fanned the flames: "But the resources CAA invested in you are not proportional to your efforts. CAA does not value you enough. All the resources were invested in the Best Actor award that Sean Penn wanted to compete for."
Hawke and Caroline didn't engage in such conversations.
Charlize saw Dani's intention and declined, saying, "My team has developed a targeted public relations strategy for me."
Hawke thought back and vaguely remembered something.
I remember during the critical period of Charlize Theron's public relations, Roger Ebert publicly wrote a statement to support her, saying that if "Monster" did not win the award, it would be the biggest shame since the establishment of the Oscars.
Is there anything other than money that can impress that famous film critic?
With the atmosphere in Hollywood, it's hard to say.
There is another thing. Hawke forgot the exact time. Hawking seemed to have said that even in infinite parallel universes, you would not be able to date Charlize Theron.
This person's virtues are well known to everyone.
Seeing that she couldn't poach Charlize Theron, Dany had to give up temporarily.
She hugged Caroline and said, "It's been a long time since we last met. You don't look changed at all. You're still so young and beautiful."
These words touched Caroline's heart, and she complimented, "You too."
Hawke asked, "Why don't you see Dawn?"
Dani said: "He went to New York to prepare for competing for a role. He may stay there for more than ten days."
The two chatted for a few words, and Edward suddenly came over and secretly gestured to Hawke.
Hawke left Caroline and continued chatting with Dany, then took a glass of wine and left.
Edward looked around and saw that no one was paying attention. He said softly, "Boss, the target is over there."
Hawke remained calm, pulled out a chair and sat in the rest area, then looked in the direction Edward said.
Less than twenty meters away, the bald Manning Jenkinson was chatting animatedly with another middle-aged man.
Edward knew the middle-aged man. He had taken photos of him when he was a freelance reporter. He whispered, "That man is Jamie Spears, Britney Spears' father and her manager."
He pointed to a bearded man nearby and said, "This is Britney's manager, Larry Rudolph. He made Britney famous."
Hawke nodded slightly, said nothing, and just observed that side quietly.
Manninger had a great chat with Jamie Spears and seemed to agree on many things.
But in Hawke's memory, Jamie Spears was a father who exploited his daughter extremely and almost ruined Britney's acting career.
Two years ago, the media was still saying that Britney would become another pop queen after Madonna.
But it is rarely mentioned now.
Hawke had read a news report in his previous life that in the 2020s, Britney was bullied in public by NBA draft players, and she couldn't even get back at them.
In this day and age, it’s hard to imagine.
Hawke came over with a drink and saw Britney had been called over by Jamie Spears to talk to Manninger.
Manninger also took out his cell phone and asked Jamie to help take a photo with Britney, as if he was a loyal fan of Britney.
After taking the photo, Britney wanted to leave, but Manninger still wanted to talk to her.
Hawke thought for a moment and asked, "Is Britney single now?"
Edward recalled and said, "After Britney broke up with Justin Timberlake in the first half of the year, she spent most of her time hanging out with Paris. I haven't heard that she has a new boyfriend. But she has a crazy pursuer named Jason Alexander, who seems to be her former playmate. World News Weekly once reported that Jason Alexander was crazy about Britney."
Hawke kept them in mind, but it was hard to say whether they could be used.
A little later, Britney made a phone call, and Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan came over and pulled her away from Manninger's not-so-obvious entanglement.
Manninger chatted with Jamie Spears again.
Edward pretended to pass by and heard a few words. When he came back, he said to Hawke: "That guy wants to invite Britney's father to the party he organized."
Hawke said, "Please inform Campos later and have someone check Jamie Spears and Manninger and send someone to follow them."
Edward made a note.
Hawke observed for a while and seeing nothing new, he left the resting place, found Caroline, and conducted necessary business interactions with her.
After the party, Caroline left the hotel and watched Hawke get into the Mercedes and leave. She wanted to take off her high heels and smash the rear window of the Mercedes. (End of this chapter)
