American fame and fortune

Los Angeles, Griffith Observatory.

Martin stood alone on the observatory, looking out at a private residence near the park.

It was quite far away, and nothing else could be seen except for the faint lights.

But he knew Ryan Reynolds' party was about to start.

In order to promote the "Deadpool" movie project, the Canadian movie star who suffered the disastrous failure of "Green Lantern" really tried his best.

He sold his wedding home with his ex-wife Scarlett Johansson to prepare for a party.

At a high price, he obtained a key gift from Michelle Bryan that could impress several Fox executives.

Martin came down from the observatory, and the bodyguards scattered around accompanied him to the parking lot.

Just in time, Bruce drove back.

Martin got directly into the Escalade he drove and got out of several cars together.

Bruce said: "Three options are ready."

Martin asked: "Is there going to be a problem with TMZ?"

"Jordi specially recommended an ambitious small team." Bruce said simply: "Instead of going to Jodi's side, we informed this small team through a news informant that the leader of the small team, Holding, is an ambitious person. Young people with means will not miss this kind of news clue."

Martin said: “I don’t know how effective it will be if we use public opinion to push us.”

A few years ago, the case of Michelle Bryan was settled before it spread, and only a fine of US$35,000 was paid.

Even if you call the police secretly this time, the result may not be much better.

If you do similar things purely out of justice, the results may be even worse, and you may even get yourself involved.

Bruce replied: "If it is only within Michelle's scope, I don't think the resistance will be very big."

Martin nodded slightly: "I didn't think about anything else. If you want to turn me into an addict and take action, you have to pay some price."

Bruce added: "The last two options are just preparations, and I hope they will not be used."

"Ryan Reynolds and Michelle Bryan got together and tried to get it resolved," Martin said.

…………

In the brightly lit mansion, security personnel checked the incoming party supplies.

A middle-aged man said loudly: "Don't mess up. Move everything outside the hall and hand it to the waiter."

Seven or eight people unloaded the goods from the car and, after a brief inspection by security personnel, delivered them to the door of the villa.

Waiters in white shirts are already waiting here.

Among them was Holding.

The person who brought the things saw him, came over quickly, and placed the two boxes in front of him.

The man lowered his voice: "The stuff is in the can, I marked it."

Holding blinked, picked up the box and entered the villa.

While everyone was busy, he found a few marked cans inside, opened them, took out the miniature camera, and installed it in a hidden location that he had chosen while setting up the venue.

Holding got word from a news source that Ryan Reynolds was preparing some special gifts to entertain three heavyweights in the Fox production department.

The other party vowed to ensure that there would be explosive news.

After Holding joined TMZ, he has been waiting for big news to stand out from the crowd of competitors.

Who in this field doesn’t want to be the editor-in-chief, or even the editor-in-chief?

TMZ’s rising channel is right there, it can rise only by getting big news.

Jodi, the current business editor, started out as a street paparazzi. Because she obtained and reported a series of big news, she was not only promoted to editor-in-chief, but also won the Pulitzer Prize.

The case is before our eyes, inspiring TMZ reporters to keep working hard one by one.

Holding used his status as a waiter to install miniature cameras in several rooms he deemed suitable and continued busy with other work.

When it got dark, the party organizer Ryan Reynolds and his agent Cowell came to the villa together.

Not long after, three senior executives from the 20th Century Fox production department arrived one after another.

The party kicks off and everything starts out normal.

The five of them ate, drank, talked about movies, and gossiped about the industry.

When Holding brought the wine, he heard them chatting about the tidbits about Martin Davis.

Everyone is saying that Elizabeth Olsen is a weirdo. Just because Martin saved her life in the Burbank Middle School incident, she allowed Martin to do whatever he wanted. As long as he didn't do anything in her home or in front of her eyes, she turned a blind eye.

After hearing this, Holding was extremely envious. As a man, Martin Davis is his idol in life!

Kewell got a call and nodded to Ryan Reynolds.

Ryan Reynolds stood up and said to the head waiter: "We don't need service staff here. You can go to the annex building for now. Don't come out without my notice."

The foreman immediately asked people to leave.

When Holding left the villa, he carefully observed and found that there was an additional commercial vehicle on the side of the door.

The foreman was urging him, but he didn't look much and followed him into the auxiliary building.

It was quiet here, the door of the business car opened, and someone brought three girls into the building.

Ryan Reynolds spent a lot of money to find party favors that satisfied the three Fox executives.

The three men promised Ryan Reynolds on the spot that they would fully promote the establishment of the "Deadpool" movie project.

Ryan Reynolds laughed happily and felt that it was all worth it.

As for those three girls, no one cared what they thought.

Ryan Reynolds achieved his goal, and Fox's three people enjoyed it.

All this seems natural.

Just like the upper class people in America, they never care about the life and death of the leeks below.

Is it a consumable item? There are countless replacements after it dies.

Supplies are pouring in throughout Latin America and around the world.

After the party ended, Ryan Reynolds saw off the distinguished guests first, then came back to discuss with his agent briefly and then left.

Under the leadership of the foreman, the waiters came out of the auxiliary building and entered the villa to clean up the messy scene.

With quick hands and feet, Holding collected a few remaining special supplies, and used the cleaning as a cover to recover the miniature cameras.

After being busy until early in the morning, it finally ended here and the waiters got off work.

Holding drove into a rented car and drove all the way to the appointed place, where two subordinates were waiting.

He drove the car into the parking lot and waited until he had time to deal with it tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and then got directly into an off-road vehicle.

Barrett, who was driving, asked: "Did you succeed?"

Holding briefly looked at the camera and said, "I captured some of them. Let's take a closer look when we get back to see what they are."

Tucker in the co-pilot asked: "Is there really breaking news? Even if they have a group party, it actually doesn't matter. This is not a big deal in Hollywood, but it will offend us."

Holding's head is clear: "If it's just an ordinary group party, this matter ends here, and the expenses invested are mine."

But he already had a strong premonition and shook the camera in his hand: "Clues and news intuition tell me that something big happened in that villa tonight!"

Barrett accelerated the car and headed straight for the headquarters building: "I hope the higher-ups won't suppress it or sell the news to the original owner."

Holding laughed: "No, after confirming the news, I will call the business editor directly. Such explosive news has always been what TMZ is pursuing."

Tucker said: "In this regard, TMZ is more likely to choose to expose than any other media."

With the roar of the motor, the off-road vehicle arrived at the headquarters. The three people got out of the car and ran into the editorial office. Although it was already early in the morning, there were still many offices with lights on at the TMZ headquarters.

Holding ran to his workstation, turned on his computer and connected it to a tiny video camera he had installed in the corner of the hall.

There was nothing useful in the front. After fast forwarding for a while, he clicked the mouse and changed to normal playback speed.

Barrett's eyes widened when he saw the three women being brought into the living room, and he said, "Are these bastards crazy?"

Tucker shook his head repeatedly: "These scumbags in Hollywood!"

What happened next was captured on camera, as Ryan Reynolds used the trio as bribes to impress three Fox executives.

The trio also invited Ryan Reynolds to join them in their perverted game.

Holding was not too old and his blood had not yet cooled down. He was so angry that he slammed the table and said, "Even if the editorial department suppresses it, I will let these news be exposed!"

Tucker echoed: "Yes, these scum don't deserve to live!"

Barrett didn't say anything. This society is too dirty.

After watching the footage captured by this camera, Holding checked the other cameras one by one, but two of them didn't capture anything useful.

There was another one that captured a similar picture.

It’s really shocking!

These equipments are advanced enough and set at good angles. The pictures captured are clear enough, and even the sounds are recorded clearly.

Holding patted Tucker on the shoulder: "Just sort it out and upload it."

Without saying anything, Tucker got busy.

Barrett asked, "Where did these girls go?"

Holding took out his cell phone, looked at it, and said, "The informant left the address."

When Barrett heard this, he couldn't help but remind him: "Don't you think this is too coincidental? Will someone use us as gunmen?"

"I know someone is using us as a weapon, although I don't know who it is, and I can't find out who it is." Holding closed his eyes and opened them again: "But this is one of the few opportunities we have. We missed it. Maybe we have to wait another three years? Or five years, or even a lifetime?"

He smiled, with a bitterness in his smile: "You have been in the industry longer than me, and you know how narrow the channels for advancement are, and how difficult it is for us to cross the class. Tucker, Barrett, you are willing to remain unknown all your life and just be ordinary people. Do front-line reporters get a salary of tens of thousands of dollars a year?”

Tucker said: "I'm not willing to ride a horse. Who doesn't want to make a lot of money! These bastards in the video have no conscience, no morals, no bottom line, and contempt for the law. They are all scum! And what about us? Pay attention to professional ethics and abide by the law. , Conscience is still intact..."

He only felt that this society was full of ridicule: "Those scumbags earn high salaries and are big stars, earning at least a million dollars a year! But we good people are suffering from poverty and suffering! Car loans, house loans, medical expenses, insurance Fei, hurry up and crush us!"

Barrett understands these things more deeply than they do because he is already married and has more than one child.

"We are doing good things by exposing these things!" Holding is also strengthening his determination: "While we pursue journalistic justice, we can also realize our self-worth. Aren't these what we have always pursued?"

"Go ahead," Barrett said.

Tucker edited the video, edited the text title, and started uploading.

Holding took out his cell phone and called the business editor Jody.

It seemed that the other party was still asleep, and the call was quickly connected.

Holding seemed to hear the gasps of men and women, and said: "Boss, I have important work to report to you..."

"Old Bu, please stop first." Jodi's breathing stopped: "You say it."

Holding described the incident quickly and made up his mind. If Jodi refused to publish it, he would immediately contact his media and publish it on multiple websites at the same time.

But Jody did not disappoint him. He made sure that the news was OK and said, "Publish it immediately. I will turn on the computer to review it now, so hurry up."

Holding shook his fist vigorously: "It's being uploaded."

On the other side, Jodi hung up the phone, glanced at Bruce in front of him, and said with a smile: "Brother, it's time for you to show off your strength. You don't want to see Martin's plan fail, right?"

"Threatening me?" Bruce was angry. He dared to use Martin as a threat? He launched a 100-meter sprint.

Soon I hit my pelvis and it hurt.

Jody was very satisfied with Bruce's attitude. After being satisfied, he stretched himself, came to the desk, opened his laptop, and logged into TMZ's backend management.

Bruce came up behind her and asked, "Haven't you shown up yet?"

Jody said, "Be patient, it won't happen so fast."

Bruce asked with concern: "Are you sure you won't be in trouble?"

"Those three hot-blooded reporters are responsible for any trouble." Jody smiled: "The people are not sent out by me, but the news is obtained spontaneously. I just review and approve the news uploaded by my subordinates."

She remembered another thing: "Yes, one more thing, because it may involve serious crimes, of course I, a Pulitzer Prize winner, have to report it to the police."

Bruce nodded.

An information prompt flashed in Jodi's background management. She quickly clicked on it, saw the newly uploaded video news, and immediately clicked on it to watch it.

Both of them had serious expressions.

After Jody read it, he directly mentioned the news to the front page of TMZ and locked it on the front page.

She picked up her cell phone, dialed an FBI official she knew well, and said, "You'd better read the latest headlines from TMZ. Someone is suspected of committing a crime. I will notify you as soon as I find out. TMZ will report it. Public opinion could explode very quickly."

The other side replied: "Is the content very explosive?"

"You'd better see it for yourself," Jody said.

There were footsteps coming over there, and not long after, the man said, "I want the full version of the video! Also, what exactly is going on?"

"I'm not sure either." Jody pretended to be confused: "My subordinates got the news. They uploaded and released the news and called me, so I found out."

The other side said: "I need to know the details. Where are you? Can you go to TMZ headquarters? Let's meet at TMZ headquarters in an hour?"

Jody responded, "Okay."

Within an hour, an FBI team entered TMZ headquarters.

Under Jodi's introduction, they conducted detailed interviews with the three Holdings, and Holding also provided new clues.

But there is one condition: TMZ participates in the entire filming process.

These are not problems.

In the early morning of that day, the FBI raided the Santa Monica Marina warehouse, rescued three girls and multiple women, and captured several armed guards.

Subsequently, Ryan Reynolds and three Fox executives were summoned as quickly as possible.

They left too much evidence, and all the evidence points directly to Michelle Bryan.

When the TMZ news broke and the news had just spread, TMZ accompanied the FBI into Michelle's mansion and took control of the woman.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that public opinion in this area cannot be controlled, and Michelle is no longer involved in the simple organizational transaction last time.

As for her having control over many people's privacy, just don't give her a chance to say it out.

The storm quickly developed.
