Hollywood Domination Chapter 458: Judy with a burst of soul power

« Prev Chapter List Next »

"Talk to me," Robert demanded almost as soon as Judy picked up the phone, "Have you been to the police station? How is it going?"

"There is good news and there is bad news," Judy said. She lowered her voice, clutched her phone, leaned against the wall of the police station corridor, and scanned the pedestrians going back and forth. "I saw the three hostages. , but we haven't spoken individually yet - it looks like at least they didn't break down on the spot in the interrogation room."

"This is good news, what about the bad news?" Robert asked, his tone moved Judy's heart: It seems that Robert is indeed very concerned about the progress of this matter.

"The bad news is, Jared Dunphy, the police officer in charge of this case-he doesn't seem to buy what the hostages say." She said, "Maybe one of them didn't behave very well, anyway he It seems that he has already become suspicious."

"You must keep the memory card in your hand, or make sure it is destroyed," Robert said, "I will give you a fund, and you can use it flexibly."

At least the hundreds of thousands of cash did not move Judy's heart, but made her a little worried. She hesitated, but shook her head, "Their families are very good, maybe this matter doesn't need to be solved with money. ——Robert, can you transfer the case to someone you can trust?"

In fact, even if Robert didn't call her, she would still contact him, and Robert's attentive performance made her murmur in her heart—yes, he is deeply involved in many things, At least she is an insider, but fundamentally, she and Robert are not in the same boat, she and Jennifer are, so Judy is not interested in the idea of using Robert's money to buy the memory card, using his money, Who owns the purchased card? After giving it to Robert, doesn't it mean that she also boarded Robert's boat, and she can only obey him from now on?

Of course, now she still needs to rely on Disney's huge influence, so Judy didn't mean to turn against Robert. After saying this, she took the initiative to explain, "There is no transfer process, and there is no law risk, and even if the video is unfortunately exposed, if there is no purchase behavior, we can easily deny its credibility, but if we have spent money on it, then the persuasion will be greatly reduced.”

"You have full power to handle this matter. My only request is that it cannot be exposed." Robert quickly made a decision, "Observe the situation on the police side—if you confirm that there is a danger of losing control, tell me, and I will call Call, but now you have to give me some time."

Judy nodded in understanding: It is one thing to ask the swat team to dispatch because Jennifer and others were kidnapped, but it is a completely different level to ask someone to settle this matter, the former is just a favor , It’s just a phone call, the human cost that the latter has to pay is completely another matter, and it must be done carefully, otherwise it may cause trouble to the team.

"Got it," she said. "I will try to do my best."

"I don't doubt it at all." Robert said, before Judy said goodbye, he asked again, "Is Cesare okay now? Is there anyone else coming to San Francisco besides you?"

"Before I came to the police station, I asked the doctor to prescribe sleeping pills for him," Judy said, "and put Jennifer's assistant, Mary, to look after her—he hadn't slept all night and was very moody. Big, you know..."

Drawing out the voice, Judy didn't continue, but Robert also understood what she meant, "It is indeed possible that he needs pacifying drugs as stated in the medical description. After all, this kind of thing will be very painful to many people. A big stimulus."

"Yes, Jim Davidson has arrived in San Francisco. He is now operating the entire company by remote control. As for Mary, she is taking care of Jennifer and Cesare." Judy Hui reported, "Jennifer's friend Lilian just got married. Get on the plane, and I think, Josh, Chris, maybe someone else will come? There have been a lot of calls to me and Mary, because neither of them can get through, and we can't answer at all, but now Jim is coming Then I think things should be much better after a day or two."

"Very good." Robert said succinctly, "What are you going to announce at the press conference?"

"I'm still waiting to speak to the police spokesman," said Judy, who was a little surprised that Robert had questioned the matter so thoroughly. "You know, there are so many rumors out there right now that she's dead, she's in surgery, or a bullet went through her spine, or she's been raped in there -- the most outrageous stories I've seen even have Says she's pregnant with the stalker's child - so I figured it would be a brief briefing, low key about the case and her injuries, you know, her back is fine, she's in a coma, but Maybe I will wake up in a few days, the situation is still optimistic, and so on—"

"Well..." Robert seemed to be thinking about something, and after a while, he said instructively, "Make some changes, Judy, make some subtle changes-you don't need to distort the facts, you know, Just, make some hints, create a heavy atmosphere...you are a PR, you know what I'm talking about."

Of course Judy knows what Robert is talking about, and how to guide the audience's mentality without distorting the facts is basically her job-what she doesn't know is why Robert suddenly made such a request. "Uh, but—"

"Jennifer may not make it through this, Judy," said Robert, his tone sinking. "This could be her last Oscar, Judy, you know what I mean."

In fact, this should not be Jennifer's last Oscar, because there will be "The Great Gatsby" next year, but of course Judy understands Robert's words, and even in such a panic, Worrying about the moment when the situation was out of control, Robert's words also made her heart throb, and she felt a burst of pure seduction: If this event can be used to get a fourth Oscar for her client-making Jennifer a From life to death, she was full of sensations, she repeatedly set a precedent in Hollywood, and created countless special cases——let her be the trader behind this legend——

She swallowed hard, trying to maintain a bit of reason in the extreme dizziness: This is good for her, maybe it is good for Jennifer, God bless, it will be good for her whether the girl survives or not Good thing, but, what does that have to do with Robert?

"But I'm afraid it's too risky, Robert." Although the difference between her and Robert was too high, Judy couldn't guess what he might have in mind, but years of caution still prevented her from nodding immediately. Agree, "It's such a mess now, adding an Oscar? I don't know, it's like adding another ball to a catch-and-trick game, and I'm afraid that one ball will end up **** everything up."

"It's not too bad to hype Jennifer's victim image," Robert said in a low voice, maybe it was Judy's illusion—his voice was full of naked, sweet temptation, almost Just like in the Garden of Eden, when the poisonous snake tempted Eve to bite the apple with sweet words, although she herself could never say how pure she was. "It will also put some pressure on the police, if you know what I mean."

What Judy has been doing is to guide public opinion in the entertainment industry, but she can probably guess what Robert means, and I have to say that this excuse is very convincing—at least for her now— —

It’s like when a cook sees the best ingredients, and a sculptor sees a piece of fine marble, although Robert’s intentions are not yet clear, and he wants to follow such a person, such a student and cooperation for many years Instructions from someone who is still plotting something when the life and death of the victim is uncertain—there is still a slight doubt (in Judy’s mind, the nature of her own behavior is of course absolutely righteous), but this rich and unique material, It still made her very itchy, she only struggled for a moment, and then almost couldn't wait to raise her hand and surrender.

"Okay, okay." She said happily, "Then I'd better start working now, I have to contact the police, the hospital-if this press conference is going to win her another Oscar, then We still have a lot to do."

"ohmygod, ohmy*ing*ingchrist."

Terry took off his sunglasses and said dumbfounded, "This is—is this the murderer?"

"Zard Rupp, it's true." The local colleague beside him said proudly, but before Terry had a chance to make more moves, he took back the phone. "Sorry, this is our exclusive photo-the headline of the website in a few hours, you know, the feature is ready, just waiting for this press conference."

"*," said Terry, blurting out under provocation, "but I knew him—* and we—"

Before he blurted out his exclusive news, he came back to his senses and slammed his mouth shut, just hiding all the shocking emotions in his heart: *,*, after the press conference, he must Gotta talk to the cops—Zade is Robert? *, he never remembered what Robert's last name was, but, seriously, was it Robert? God, how long and how many times have they been staring at j.j together? He even gave Robert the whereabouts of Jennifer several times, no, Zade...

Thinking that he might have been an unintentional accomplice to Zade, Terry felt uncomfortable, and he didn't even know if he should sell the news-of course, it would be a popular headline, It's going to bring him a lot of money, and it's important to sell before everyone sees Zade's picture, and speed is everything in journalism, but—seriously, the press can even Are you allowed to report this? Will this inspire those aggressive copycats? Will there be a second or third imitation crime within dozens of days? Of course, the victim probably won't be Jennifer, because she has already...

Terry didn't want to think about it anymore: he did know several female stars, and even if he was shot to death, he would not shed a tear, and even felt that he deserved it, but thinking that this incident might happen again—thinking of pity Jennifer is now lying in the hospital, in danger of her life—such a good person, so self-disciplined and kind, so prudent, such an excellent person, someone who makes you feel that the world has become a little bit better when you see her——

"*..." He couldn't help cursing in a low voice, and shook his head vigorously, "This whole thing is just...*..."

Although he has been a paparazzi for so many years and is almost used to the moral controversy brought about by his profession, this is the first time that Terry has seriously felt guilty—this time Zade did not take it from him. After hearing the news, it made him feel better, but it still couldn't offset the negative impact of his previous actions—if it wasn't for Jennifer's bodyguards all the time, if there was such a negligence, if it was because of the news he gave , Zade blocked Jennifer who was alone——

For many people, paparazzi is more like a by-product that stars must accept. Self-proclaimed teacher of justice: If there were no paparazzi, what kind of lies and nonsense would the stars use to deceive the public? Seriously, it's the presence of the paparazzi that keeps them somewhat self-disciplined. But now—but now that he realizes that he has unconsciously created opportunities for a crazy fan to get close to Jennifer many times—

"Geez..." he said, punching twice on his left chest, "this feels really bad--"

"This must be the biggest local news this year," his colleague said excitedly, but he did not catch Terry's depression, "Think about it, if Jennifer died, my God, wouldn't this Wouldn't it be a legend? Another John Lennon - or Sharon Tate, wouldn't it? God, it's a combination of two cases! Zad Rupp would be the new Charles. Manson? God, if he survives—"

Terry couldn't help glaring at him, his fists were clenched tightly together, if the press conference wasn't so close——

At this moment, Judy Ackerman, who was wearing a black suit and looked serious, and a middle-aged man in police uniform walked into the venue, and the room suddenly became quiet. The colleagues who came here began to exchange glances: as a big PR, Judy seldom serves as a spokesperson, and once she shows her face, she will always smile. Such an expression is very rare today. It seems that the next news will not be too optimistic.

"Thank you very much for being able to attend the press conference. This is the first official press conference after the unfortunate accident last night." , "Last night at around 22:00, in a villa in the Pacific Highlands, a case of armed hostage took place, and the suspect Zade Rupp was shot dead on the spot, and none of the hostages present died."

"The situation of Jennifer Jefferson will be introduced by her spokesperson later. More information is still under investigation. Due to the particularity of this case, in order to avoid the appearance of imitators, the police will not disclose More details, therefore, there will be no time for questions at the press conference. We also recommend that the media choose an orientation when reporting, downplay the special nature of the case, and avoid more similar cases from happening.”

Under his statement, the reporters suddenly fell into a buzzing discussion: There is no doubt that the police do not want Zade's stalker attribute to be exposed, nor do they want the media to focus on the details of the case itself. This is very reasonable - it is the same as the media will never positively present the photos of the dead, the details of the murder and the details of the serial murder. For the cases that have been solved, these details are sometimes the triggers that trigger other homicides. Given the sensational level of the case, the police's actions are understandable.

However, this actually affirms the news that has not been officially approved so far, that is, this is a case that started with a stalker kidnapping an idol, not a robbery, etc., as some rumors said—— Once such a dramatic plot is affirmed, it will inevitably arouse ripples in everyone's hearts. Although journalistic ethics require them to avoid reporting details, the news value of the story itself is mouth-watering.

"After last night's incident, there have been a lot of false news circulating outside. I am speaking on behalf of Ms. Jennifer Jefferson and San Francisco General Hospital," said Judy A. Kerman stepped forward with a sad expression, and her voice was condensed with grief that could almost drip, "Jennifer was very brave in the unfortunate incident last night. She saved her own life and the lives of others, and this evil , Evil—"

There was a choke in Judy's voice, she stopped, covered her mouth and cleared her throat, and then continued with a nasal voice, "Evil emergencies, she is a selfless and brave fighter, But unfortunately, in the process of getting out of control, her back and brain were injured... Her back was hit by a ricochet, and in the roll, she developed an intracranial hemorrhage, and this severe intracranial hemorrhage made her... ...is still in a coma."

In this sound that seemed to be frozen with great pain, the reporters were all silent, only the monotonous sound of "click, click" continued. Terry squeezed his eyes tightly to keep the sudden, almost embarrassing (seriously, he's in his forties, tears?) soreness from turning into tears: intracranial hemorrhage, coma, and With Judy's reaction-this sounds too ominous...

"Because her condition is not completely stable, the hospital cannot give a definite answer about the possibility of waking up and recovering. Now her closest friends have come to accompany him through all this." Judy's voice was distorted, as if she was holding back something, "As for her film career, we will give further notice to all parties in a short period of time—and what I want to say at this moment is..."

As if finally unable to resist the torrent of emotions, this PR who had been acting as professional as possible, suddenly took out a tissue and carefully wiped his eye circles, "Jennifer has always been a kind, selfless and good person, She is like a sun shining on everything around her. We never thought she would be so cruelly hurt because of her beauty. Although she is facing a difficult situation now, but—as her friend for many years, I know Jennifer will not give up, she is fighting tenaciously, and as her friend, not an employee, I hope the fans and the public will join us in praying and helping Jennifer through this difficult time..."
