It was obviously something that happened a few hours ago, but it was actually reported. This speed is simply amazing.
Although Kai was surprised by the speed of the tabloids, he didn't care too much. After all, the world likes the new and dislikes the old at an unimaginable speed. No matter how popular the news is, as long as there is no follow-up, it will be naturally forgotten in a few days. If this kind of scandals don't happen at least 180 times a day in Los Angeles, it would be a shame for Los Angeles to be known as the City of Angels.
The key is that this efficiency is really terrifying. If the police had such efficiency, it is estimated that the crime rate in Los Angeles could drop by ten percentage points.
"Boss, is this true?"
Chloe still looked gossipy.
"Fake." Kai said without mercy. "Go out and do some work! The police station doesn't pay you to gossip during working hours!"
Chloe stared hard at Kai's face, and finally gave up helplessly. She couldn't see anything from Kai's face.
After Chloe left, Kai's phone rang and it was Stuart. This old guy also saw the newspaper. As his old comrade actually had gossip with a top actress, he naturally wanted to confirm it. If it was true, then he would be bragging.
"When did you become such a gossip?"
"Who doesn't love gossip?" A typical Angeleno comment.
"It's nothing. I just helped the female star handle some personal matters. It's considered private work." Kai said helplessly.
After saying this, Stewart understood. This is Hollywood. How can celebrities not have some dirty things under the glamor? This kind of thing is so common in Los Angeles that it has even spawned a very unique profession - "professional scavenger".
This kind of person is a professional player who specializes in handling the private affairs of celebrities and big names, but their reputation is often not very good. They are paid to do things, and they are unscrupulous and semi-black. Even Stewart, who has a long-term People who are mixed among all kinds of dragons and snakes are reluctant to come into contact with these people. They have no sense of moral integrity and just do things when they are paid.
In short, the Hollywood film and television industry has also spawned many weird and bizarre careers.
"By the way... I have something to ask you."
"What's wrong?"
"Do you remember Brian?"
"Is he in trouble?" Kai sat up straighter. If it was really him, the trouble would definitely not be small, because this tough guy could solve ordinary troubles by himself. There was no need for Stuart to ask for help.
"He didn't get into trouble. His daughter, Kim, got into trouble."
"His daughter? What trouble can a barely grown child get into?"
Stewart reluctantly told Kai what happened.
Brian's daughter Jin has always wanted to enter the entertainment industry. She got the opportunity to go to Psylocke Entertainment before, but... what did this girl say? Everything is fine, but nothing stands out. Indeed, Jin is pretty. But the problem is that the most indispensable thing in Hollywood is beautiful women. It is difficult to gain favor based on appearance alone, unless she is so beautiful that people cannot forget her at a glance. Obviously Jin does not have this capital.
For Kai's sake, Isabella also thought of giving her a chance to sit up from the bottom.
But young people are impatient, especially young people today. Their motivations for wanting to be stars are usually purely vanity.
People with vanity often care about the benefits after becoming famous. As for the suffering and hardship they suffered before, they do not want to be tainted at all. Therefore, many young people who enter the entertainment industry with so-called dreams want to join the industry today and become famous tomorrow. , get an Oscar the day after tomorrow, and become a superstar the day after tomorrow. How can you honestly start from the bottom?
Especially for Jin, she has not been taught by her father since she was a child. Although her mother has tried her best to teach her, parents play an extremely important role in a child's growth, and the lack of father's love will always cause some shortcomings. What's more, due to the lack of father's care since childhood, Jin's mother naturally treated the child twice as much as she wanted to make up for it, even to the level of doting. Later, her mother remarried and met a diamond king, with extremely superior material conditions.
In this case, it is very rare that the gold does not grow crookedly, and it is normal to have a little princess disease.
Therefore, Jin was very disappointed with the career plan given by Lingdie Entertainment. He would first join the company as an intern, and then take on some indispensable small roles to gain experience. After that... the sky would be up to him. There is no company in Hollywood that can achieve 100% success. I guarantee that I will be able to make the stars under my command popular. After all, stars are never a necessity. It all depends on the public's acceptance or not.
But the problem is that Jin doesn't see it that way. She feels that Lingdie Entertainment doesn't take her seriously.
She didn't even think about it. She was a high school graduate who was nothing, so why should others take her seriously? Just because she has a good father and a rich stepfather? Don't be ridiculous. Unless her two fathers gave money to the company for some reason and spent a lot of resources on it, there was still a slight possibility.
But the problem is, his father is a poor man, and he knows a lot of people, but they are all secret agents, and they can't get along with Hollywood. The other father is rich and powerful, but the problem is that he is not his biological father. If he spends a few million, he can succeed, and he is not unwilling to give it up. But the problem is that with such qualifications, it is obvious that he cannot bear it with a few million. Ten thousand is a bit possible...but tens of millions will create an opportunity for the stepdaughter...Which stepfather is so good, give me a stack!
In short, Jin, who is young, energetic and arrogant, didn't sign a contract if he didn't understand anyone.
Lingdie Entertainment doesn't care either. This is nonsense. There are good prospects everywhere. Who would care about a character with little potential? Jin is not the protagonist, there is no drama about pretending to be a slap in the face, or bullying a poor young man.
Jin was also devastated by being rejected by Lingdie (she thought Lingdie Entertainment was not optimistic about it), and then she signed a contract with a company inexplicably without anyone knowing, on the grounds that someone else offered her a role as a heroine. Opportunity.
Although it is a small production.
Even if Jin has confidence in herself and considers herself to be a natural beauty and a potential star, she also knows some common sense. It is impossible for an amateur like her who has no background to be escorted by a big production and a big cast as soon as she debuts. You must know that not everyone Everyone is Miss Jingtian.
So she set a small goal for herself, to shine in a small-cost production and sound the first horn for Miss Kim to dominate Hollywood.
So I was deceived.
As a result, when it was time to report to the crew, she was dumbfounded.
Because it was filmed in the San Fernando Valley!
The San Fernando Valley is an urbanized valley in southern California, United States, located 30 kilometers northwest of Los Angeles. The San Fernando Valley is 895 square kilometers. It's a small, inconspicuous city. But actually this place is very famous, especially to the American people.
Because the San Fernando Valley is known as "Hollywood where two people can act," there are more than 300 adult film production companies located here. If you often watch European and American movies, you will find that the background of many movies is always sunny and the temperature is a bit high... Well, there is a high probability that they were filmed in the San Fernando Valley.
Jin is indeed the protagonist, but this protagonist is different from what she imagined.
When I signed the contract, I did say that the protagonist would have to make some sacrifices...but this sacrifice was too big.
Jin naturally refused.
But if someone else holds the contract, it doesn’t matter whether you agree or not.
The key is that Jin is already eighteen years old and is legally capable of taking responsibility. There is no such thing as deadbeat.
Of course, you can also break the contract directly and just pay.
But this silly girl was fascinated by the heroine from the beginning of her freshman year. Not only did she not pay attention to the content of the contract, she didn't even read the liquidated damages clearly. It was an eight-digit liquidated damages! Really cruel.
At first glance, you were deceived.
In Hollywood, this kind of thing is not uncommon. People are deceived every year. Some can only go to sea, and some can only lose money. In their line of work, they have already developed a set of extremely professional procedures, and they will not necessarily lose in a lawsuit.
Very troublesome.
"What do you want me to do?" Kai asked directly as it was hard to ignore such a stupid thing.
"Aren't you a policeman? See if you can scare the other party and make them stop." Stewart didn't have a good way to deal with this kind of thing. After all, others are just in this business. Professionals have many ways to deal with various situations. .
"Let me think of a solution."
Kai didn't say die. After all, this kind of thing is all too common in Hollywood. This can also be regarded as one of the survival strategies of Hollywood's lower-level companies. Not to mention an amateur like Jin, even many famous celebrities will be deceived. Otherwise, why would there be a brokerage company?
Kai's idea is actually very simple, just go to the door. Eight-digit liquidated damages! This company really dares to speak up. It is clear that gold is treated as a fat sheep. But this appetite is too big. Kai will try to see if he can sue them for fraud. Litigation is the last option. See if he can resolve it privately and pay hundreds of thousands to settle the matter. Anyway, Jin's stepfather You shouldn't care too much about hundreds of thousands.
In this way, Kai served as the mascot in the office all morning. Everyone who passed by his office would look at him secretly, as if he could tell some gossip, and that was enough.
After finally making it to lunch time, Kai was just getting ready to go out for dinner. I was taken to the director's office by a phone call.
When he got there, he happened to see Salize coming out of the director's office.
"Thank you very much, Miss Theron, for your support of Los Angeles security." The director shook hands with Shalizi very politely at the door of the office and said goodbye. Judging from his rosy face, it seemed that Shalizi had given him a lot of benefits.
Seeing Kai coming, Dustin immediately waved Kai over.
"Miss Sharize Theron just donated two million dollars to the police force. This is the greatest support for the police. I hope you can greet Miss Theron well."
This was said as if the young lady was coming to welcome guests.
But in fact, in a sense, this statement is true.
I have talked about the funding source of the US police before, so I won’t repeat it here. Faced with such a large donation of millions, it is impossible for the police department to offend. After all, this concerns all the police officers in the entire police department. If the funds are sufficient, the police will have better welfare, better equipment, and more Good infrastructure and more funds for handling cases. In short, it all depends on these donors whether the police have a good job or a poor job.
Los Angeles is better than other cities in this regard, it has more stars! In order to maintain a good image in front of the public, many celebrities do charity work, and donating money to the police is also a very good way. After all, donating to the police can improve their image and show that they have a sense of social responsibility. Secondly, you can also establish a good relationship with the police. ,
The police in a capitalist society are also very capitalist, and their services are worth every penny. The police will do their best for these donors.
Although those celebrities do not necessarily need the police, what if they do?
Kai looked at Shalizi strangely and didn't say anything more. Do you want to show that you are too powerful to be subjugated, and that you are wealthy and cannot be promiscuous? Making a fuss about Sharize's money offensive? Isn't that a disease?
Shalizi did not pay attention to Kai, but said some high-sounding words to Dustin very politely. It was obvious that this woman was very good at speaking in this kind of scene. They were obviously clichés, but others said them like a spring breeze, which made people feel uncomfortable. It feels sincere and not so formulaic and hypocritical.
After the two people finally ended their conversation, knowing that the other party was talking empty words, Kai sent Salize back on behalf of the police.
"What? Are you surprised to see me?"
After getting in the car, Shalizi took the initiative to talk to Kai.
"A bit, I thought you would need some time to calm down, after all..."
"You're saying that regarding the existence of ghosts, and my father... I'm not as fragile as you think, and my ability to accept it is not as bad as you think."
To be honest, if there is any supernatural being in this world that is most accepted by people, ghosts undoubtedly rank first. Because people have thought about the topic of death more or less, and they also have their own understanding of whether the soul exists. On the contrary, many people cannot accept the argument that people disappear completely after death. After all, no one wants to disappear completely.
Following these words, the car fell into silence again.
Kai always felt a little guilty, because in a sense, he had 'killed' her father, even though her father was already dead.
After a while.
Shalizi said: "I owe you a favor."
"Didn't you donate?" Kai said with a smile.
"That's different." Shalizi said seriously.
Hearing Shalizi say this, Kai suddenly remembered Jin's bad incident.
"In that case, I really have something to ask you for help with." Then he told the story about Jin being deceived.
When Sharize listened to Kai's story, she didn't actually feel the kind of relief that she could repay the favor. Instead, she felt unspeakably irritated. She could feel that Kai didn't seem to want to have more contact with her. If it were anyone else, there would be no way he could use such a favor so easily.
With this favor, wouldn't they have more reason to continue their relationship? This has nothing to do with the relationship between a man and a woman, it just feels like Kai is a little distant from her.
This made Shalizi feel a little frustrated. She couldn't be so hated.
"I know, I will let people know about this."
Sharize's tone was distant, but Kai didn't care. They had only been together for a day, and already there were rumors of a scandal. If they continued to get along in the future, who knows what the spread would be like. Kai had no interest in being discussed by the public as a matter of fun. That was not in line with Kai's personality.
Moreover, Shalizi's attitude in doing things was also very reassuring to Kai. She did not just take care of everything when she came up, but went to understand, which showed that others promised to take her seriously.
After everything was said, Kai didn't know what to say.
say what?
The two of them had known each other for just one day, and he even killed her father... Do you want to talk about how to kill her father?
Then the car became quiet again.
It's an awkward situation when two people are alone and have nothing to say.
Just when Kai was thinking about saying something.
Salize's phone rang.
It's Salize's psychiatrist, and today is her day to see the psychiatrist.
"Send me to Harrison Psychiatric Institute."
