Chapter 629 Big Price
Through the relationship between lawyer Robert in the police station, Bill Roses quickly figured out the cause and effect of the incident. Except for the Catholic who did attack Murphy, the rest of the mistakes were all on Daisy and the others. Fortunately, they were not too cruel. The Catholics only suffered some skin trauma and were not seriously injured, otherwise there would be quite troubles in the future.
Robert had already gone to the police station to meet Daisy. The others did not expect that there were reporters around him, nor did they know where the reporters came from.
Afterwards, Bill Rossis personally contacted the reporter based on the number provided by the company's mailroom, and agreed to meet at Stanton Studio according to Murphy's wishes.
I made an appointment at Stanton Studio because Murphy was about to meet the reporter in person, after all, this might affect his overall plan.
As for whether the impact is good or bad, it depends on how to operate it.
"The other party is a free reporter."
Inside the office of Stanton Studio Gal Gadot, Bill Roses said to Murphy and Gal Gadot, "It is not subordinate to any media or group, and it is mainly engaged in the business of shooting news and then selling it to media and television."
Gal Gadot looked at Murphy, "Isn't this the same job you did in the first place?"
"It sounds like the same." Murphy put his right hand on the armrest of the swivel chair, held up his chin, thought for a while, and said, "The free reporter has fewer concerns and is more difficult to deal with than the media reporter."
As far as he knows, many free reporters are more bold in doing things than journalists who are subordinate to the media.
"He might offer a very high price?" asked Gal Gadot.
"Well..." Bill Roses nodded, "It's very likely."
Murphy smiled, "If it were me, I had such a news in my hand, especially after it was exposed, it seemed to be very unfavorable to us. I would definitely have a big price!"
Gal Gadot couldn't help but shake his head, "How much can you want?"
"In the era when I was a freelance journalist, I would have to spend more than 300,000 US dollars..." Murphy thought for a moment, "Now the US dollar is depreciating, and the news price is rising. If he asks for a price below 500,000 US dollars, well... he is not a qualified freelance journalist."
Bill Rossis and Gal Gadot both laughed, not at all seriousness and tension in dealing with the crisis.
In fact, Murphy doesn't think this is a crisis event, because there are often opportunities that accompanies the crisis.
The knock sounded, and Gal Gadot's assistant pushed the door in and said, "He's here."
Gal Gadot looked at Murphy and said, "Take him here."
At the front desk of Stanton Studio, the black man was waiting patiently with a briefcase. Seeing the person who had received him coming back, he reached into the briefcase and pressed the recording button of the recorder.
"Mr. Williams..."
The assistant came over and made a gesture of inviting him, "Go here."
"Okay." The black man named Williams grinned and showed his white teeth, "Thank you."
Following the female assistant, Williams quickly walked into an office. The moment he entered the door, his eyes quickly circled around the office out of his professional instinct.
The office is just like this studio, not too big, and the decoration is very elegant. The decorations on the walls are basically movie posters. On the left are from "Hard Fruit Candy" to "Game of Thrones", on the right are "Man of Steel" to "City of Chaos", all of which are directed by Murphy Stanton.
Then, he saw three people sitting around his desk.
The closest thing to him was a middle-aged man, probably in his early forties, wearing a straight suit. Williams had learned about it before coming. This must be Murphy Stanton's agent and Bill Roses, one of AA's partners.
His eyes moved slightly and turned to a tall man. This man looked younger than his actual age, about twenty-five or six years old. The expression on his face seemed relatively indifferent, and he could not see any slight waves calmly.
This is Murphy Stanton!
Williams knew very well that the other party was the one who could really make decisions in the office.
Finally, his eyes fell on the only woman in the office. The slender figure made her look extremely tall even when sitting. The combined professional suit highlighted her smart and capable temperament. Her long dark brown hair was meticulously combed behind her head, simply tied into a ponytail, and her bright eyes were looking at him. Unlike Murphy Stanton's dullness, these eyes were sharp like a sharp sword.
Although this woman has a slightly larger forehead and a slightly longer face, she is still an absolute beauty even compared to all the big Hollywood stars.
It's a pity that such a woman hides behind Murphy Stanton to do behind the scenes instead of continuing to play Wonder Woman.
For some reason, Williams' first thought when he saw Gal Gadot appear was Wonder Woman.
"You're Hannam Williams?" Murphy glanced at him, pointed to a chair, and said, "Sit as you like."
Hannam Williams felt a little unhappy when he heard the other party's seemingly plain but actually not caring at all, but when he thought of the things in the briefcase, he calmed down a little and sat on the chair.
Before he could speak, Bill Roses reached out and said, "Where is the thing?"
Hannam Williams frowned obviously, and the other party was condescending and showed a sense of superiority everywhere, which made him very unhappy.
Both Bill Rossis, Murphy and Gal Gadot seem to be indifferent. This is not to say that they are extremely arrogant, but to have agreed strategies in advance.
Seeing that Hannam Williams did not move, Bill Roses said impatiently, "If you don't let us see things, how do we know if what you said is true or false?"
"I am a credible person..." Hannam Williams' words were interrupted by Bill Roses as soon as he said it. "I don't care what kind of person you are, I'm only interested in what you have."
"You..." Hannam Williams was stuck in his throat in one breath, so don't mention the discomfort.
"Mr. Williams!" Bill Roses's face turned gloomy. "We are precious. If you don't have real materials, don't waste our time."
Although Hannam Williams was very unhappy, he took out an envelope from his briefcase and handed it to Bill Roses. Bill Roses opened it and looked it up and handed it to Murphy.
Murphy simply browsed the printed photos and could vaguely recognize the person who was beaten on the beach. It was indeed the Catholic believer who attacked him. Although the men who beat him did not recognize him, Daisy still remembered it.
"Is it Daisy?" Gal Gadot did not know the leader of the fan organization Murphy, so he came over and took a look, "Is it him?"
"Yeah, that's right." Murphy nodded slightly and continued to look through the photos. The photos were mixed with photos of the signatures in line yesterday. Among them, the boys who were hitting people could be seen. "It's obvious that they should be my supporters."
When they vaguely heard the conversation between Murphy and Gal Gadot, Hannam Williams smiled slightly. No matter how bad their attitude was, as long as they had these things in their hands, wouldn’t they have to bow their heads and pay for it in the end?
Big Director? What's wrong with Big Director? Isn't it the job that these reporters want?
"Director Stanton..." Hannam Williams didn't even look at Bill Roses, and said directly to the person who could make the decision. "I was lucky yesterday and happened to take such a picture on Santa Monica Beach. I attended your signing party at the commercial center before and met this girl as your hardcore fan."
He deliberately put on a smile, and the smile seemed enthusiastic, but the pride in it was quite obvious. "I like your videos very much and are also your movie fans. Although they were really angry that attacker, I took these scenes out of my professional instinct."
Murphy looked at Hannam Williams quietly, letting him talk.
"Back to my studio, I'm worried that these images may affect your reputation," Hannam Williams turned to Bill Roses. "So, I took the initiative to contact your agent."
"Oh, so that's it." Murphy seemed to see the shamelessness he had at the time from this free reporter, but he didn't take this trick at all, and said, "Thank you! I would be very happy if you could send the photos and negatives."
He pondered for a moment, "Well... let's do it, to express his gratitude..."
Hannam Williams's smile on his face became even brighter, and he thought to himself that Murphy Stanton is still quite good. How high can he offer? One million dollars or two million dollars? He will never do anything he says less than one million dollars! Such a big director and super rich man like him is nothing.
Getting more than one million dollars from Murphy Stanton and selling videos to the media will cost hundreds of thousands of dollars...
Hannam Williams confirmed this very much. There was a huge conflict between Murphy Stanton and the Catholic Church, and the news that instructed movie fans to beat Catholics was absolutely worth the price!
In this way, even if he is given some money to his subordinates as a reward, he can still have one million dollars left and he can retire early.
Murphy seemed to be thinking about how to thank Hannam Williams. After thinking for a while, he said, "Since you are my supporter, to express your gratitude, so I will give you a full set of Blu-ray movies signed by me personally."
