Movie Master

Brian Barlow took out a crumpled pack of cigarettes from his pants pocket, searched for a lighter on his body, but found nothing, looked back at the distance of the parking lot, thought for a while, and finally continued towards Walked in the direction of the office.

Every day begins with a busy day at the Burbank bureau of the San Francisco Chronicle, and today is no exception. Brian nodded and greeted his familiar colleagues all the way. After entering the office, he sat directly on the desk of Chris, a reporter from the social department. "Is there a fire?" Brian held a cigarette in his mouth and lightly lit the end of it with his lips.

Chris rummaged around on the table, found the match that he had picked up during an unannounced visit to the club last week, and threw it over, "You still have the heart here? I just saw Cooper enter the office with an angry face , An emergency meeting was held, and all the people from the entertainment department went in."

Brian still took his time, lit a cigarette, smoked it slowly, and said disdainfully, "When is Cooper not angry?" That frivolous and mocking tone made Chris laugh out loud.

Cooper-Singer (Cooper-Singer) is the editor-in-chief of the "San Francisco Chronicle". He simply left the headquarters in San Francisco and came to Los Angeles to sit in charge. However, because the branch office is not fully equipped, Cooper does not even have a separate editorial office, but only uses the conference room for office work.

After laughing, Chris also slowly lit a cigarette, "However, this time it might be real." Brian paused and looked towards Chris, "Penelope Cruz seems to be hooking up during filming." /Catched up with Matthew McConaughey..." There was no time to say the following words, Brian jumped off the table and rushed towards the meeting room on the hot wheels, staggering accidentally He took two steps and almost fell a dog eating shit, but he stood up again and continued to rush forward.

Chris stared dumbfounded at Brian's embarrassment, and there was no time to say anything later, and then curled his lips, "The exclusive news is not ours."

Brian opened the door of the conference room, and saw that half of the people were sitting in the room, but he ignored the other colleagues and looked straight at Cooper, "What happened?"

Cooper frowned, with his hands on his hips, pacing back and forth anxiously, apparently losing his temper. After being interrupted by Brian, it was as if thrown into the oil tank of Martian, and it exploded directly—he picked up the newspaper on the table, and threw it at Brian unreasonably, and the sky was filled with Scattered newspapers are flying, "What happened? God damn it! The most sensational news this year does not belong to our family, this is what happened! The most ridiculous thing is that you have not received any The wind! What the hell happened! Aren't you spying on Lancelot all day? He's working on a goddamn movie with Tom right now, and you haven't gotten any wind? So you've been on him all this time? Is /mother eating /shit?"

Cooper was almost fully fired, spewing out swear words continuously, but Brian didn't have time to take care of Cooper's thoughts. He squatted down and rummaged through the newspapers scattered all over the floor. The "New York Post", one of the top ten newspapers in the United States, is far more influential than the "San Francisco Chronicle", and this newspaper is an entertainment newspaper under the News Corporation - not to say that it specializes in entertainment news, but It means that newspapers and periodicals that do everything for entertainment, often rely on sensational scandals and anecdotes to attract attention, and this is the only so-called "gossip newspaper" that can gain recognition across the United States.

Of course, the "New York Post" is not positioned as a "gossip newspaper".

Brian searched among the scattered pages, and soon found the target—it turned out to be the headline on the front page, and the eye-catching red headline came into view, "Crack!" The clear and clear headline brought a strong visual impact, just as The picture below is divided into left and right versions. On the left is a photo of Tom Cruise with his arms around Penelope Cruz, and on the right is a photo of Matthew McConaughey and Sandra Bullock attending a charity gala The public relations photo, but the two photos were torn apart, and then Penelope and Matthew were implicated in a red thread.

There is also a small panel directly below the picture, which is a small photo of You holding a pipa and half covering his face. This is a photo of two people hugging tightly, and Matthew's side face can be vaguely recognized, and that A head of long black hair covered the woman's face, and a red question mark was painted beside it, bringing out the subtitle—"What happened?" next to it was written, "Please refer to the twenty-third edition."

Brian just felt that he was going to go crazy, so he knelt on the ground and searched for the twenty-three edition all over the floor, while Cooper's violent and angry curses still echoed in the office, and other colleagues lowered their heads towards Brian cast his gaze away, and the atmosphere in the whole room seemed a little weird.

"found it!"

Brian quickly picked up the 23rd edition, and then saw a huge group of photos in the center, there were a total of six photos, all of which were intimate photos of Matthew and Penelope, one of which was even two people in the The photo of kissing directly in the car with irresistible passion hardly needs any explanation.

Brian simply scanned the article, the general idea is that Matthew and Penelope sparked during the filming of "Sahara Cavalry". Any burden will come together.

Shock! Shock! Shock!

As a senior entertainment reporter, Brian knows better than anyone the shocking power of this news, not only because Penelope and Matthew both now have their own dates - and they are both big, but also because This is the umpteenth time that two prodigal sons have broken up a stable relationship-Penelope has broken up Matt Damon and Winona-Ryder (Winona-Ryder), Nicholas - Cage (Nicolas-Cage) and Patricia - Arquette (Patricia-Arquette), Tom - Cruise and Nicole - Kidman and other couples, it can be said that almost every cooperation sparks four overflow.

Now, Penelope and Matthew have come together again, and Matthew has not only been on and off with Sandra Bullock in the past few years, but there is always no shortage of beauties around him during his free time. It can be called a low-key prodigal son of Hollywood.

Just reading it briefly, Brian's mind has already ignited a storm of ideas. He can imagine that this piece of news is enough to sweep the entire North American continent, and it can even continue until the awards season at the end of the year. The topic is definitely hot enough Over last year's "Bennifer"...

"I'm going to Morocco!" Brian stood up and shouted loudly.

But Cooper ignored him—to be more precise, Cooper was still immersed in his own world, "...do you know the sales volume of the 'New York Post' this morning? 2.3 million! Jesus-his/mother/the-Christ, 2.3 million! Now they've started the third round of printing! God..."

With the gradual rise of the Internet, the influence of print media is slowly declining bit by bit. Now the top ten newspapers in the United States have an average daily sales volume of around 2 million, and the top three "Wall Street Newspapers" Daily”, “USA Today” and “New York Times” have the ability to exceed 3 million—but not every day can reach such a level. The “Los Angeles Times” ranks fourth, with a daily sales volume of about 2.6 million , Such achievements are enough to make the West Coast proud.

In other words, the "New York Post" sold 1.8 million copies in less than one morning—it's only a little over eleven in the morning, which means that the daily sales volume is very likely to exceed 3 million. This is an incredible achievement for any newspaper.

The sales volume of the "San Francisco Chronicle" is only 15th in the United States, and the average daily sales volume is only about 1 million. How could it be possible not to be envious of such a result of the "New York Post"?

Brian didn't want to listen to Cooper's complaints at all, so he could only yell, "Shut up!" Cooper was stunned by this sentence, and then Brian clenched his fists Said, "I'm going to Morocco! The fastest flight!" Brian can imagine that there are countless connotations, countless news, and countless follow-ups behind this scandal. Compared with such an explosive scandal, Lance and Kayla The news can only be regarded as pediatrics, and there is no difficulty in choosing or choosing. "If you still want follow-up news, if you don't want to be left behind, I'm leaving for Morocco now!"

After finishing speaking, Brian turned around and left the conference room, striding towards his work room. Before leaving, he had to make preparations.

Cooper stood in the conference room, stunned for a while, and finally yelled at the others, "What are you still doing here! Hurry up and find news, no matter what method you use, dig out more of this news event More information, more!"

The whole conference room suddenly dispersed.

At the same time, there was silence in the office of Diorama Films. Ryan Kavalaugh's expression was mysterious and deep in thought, making it impossible to distinguish his true emotions. Tucker Toure sitting next to him Then he frowned tightly, sometimes happy, sometimes worried, and couldn't tell the reason for his contradictory mentality.

There is an Octopus connection machine in the center of the desk, which is a system for multi-party conference calls. At this time, there is only intermittent noise on the other end of the phone, and there is no other sound. After a long time, Jason Berkley's voice came from the other end of the phone, "No, I don't think this is a wise idea."
