Dylan knew he had bet right, maybe his camera was hidden the secret that Lance hoped to keep. However, Dylan didn't know what the secret was and how much weight it had, so he didn't know how to weigh the bargaining chips. So Dylan suppressed his inner excitement and tried to minimize his words to avoid revealing more emotions. "I'm listening."
This sentence made Lance's pupils shrink slightly. He didn't like this passive feeling, but when he thought about it, he couldn't say which one was using whom.
"A news about Tom and Penelope is exchanged for the memory card of the camera in your hand." Lance only used one sentence, which made Dylan's heart tight. On the one hand, he was ecstatic, because the news about Tom and Penelope is much more explosive than the inside story of "killing with a knife". On the other hand, he was surprised that Lance did not just ask for the deletion of debt movies like most laymen, but directly asked for the memory card, and was completely an expert.
Dylan did not nod or shook his head, but shrugged and signaled Lance to continue.
"Penelope Cruz is now filming the 'Saharan Cavalry' in Morocco. She and Matthew McConaughey fell in love over time, and they were really fake." Lance just clicked until he finished and covered all the news in a very simple sentence, but Dylan couldn't hide his shock and couldn't help but open his mouth wide.
In this simple sentence, there are three explosive news. The first is naturally the scandal of the male and female protagonists of the "Saharan Cavalry"; the second is that Penelope betrayed Tom; the third is that Matthew betrayed Sandra Brock (sandra-bu11obsp; the love story between Penelope and Tom is still the focus of heated discussion among countless people. Although the parties have never admitted it, people believe that the separation between Tom and Nicole Kidman, the golden boy and jade girl, was because Penelope and Tom were fired while shooting "Vanilla Sky".`
The breakup and reunion between Matthew and Sandra is a big drama in Hollywood. Not long ago, Sandra was photographed spending the night in Matthew's mansion - a party was held for their reunion again. However, the two still refused to publicly admit the relationship.
Now, Penelope and Matthew have actually come together, which is simply a "soap opera drama" in the summer. If direct evidence is really filmed, this exclusive can be sold for at least $500,000! And there is still a wide range of space for subsequent reports.
Dylan was excited. How could he not be excited? The paparazzi's gossip blood had almost reached the boiling point, as if he could burn him to ashes at any time.
However, after being extremely excited, Dylan forced himself to calm down. Firstly, Hollywood has not received any clues of clues to confirm Lance's statement. So, how did Lance know? From Tom? Secondly, the crew of the "Saharan Cavalry" is now in faraway Morocco, and he has no way to verify it immediately. What if it is fake news? Thirdly, Lance actually used such explosive news to make a deal. This means that the secret hidden in his camera is more important?
Thinking of this, Dylan's right hand began to tremble uncontrollably.
Lance seemed to read Dylan's inner thoughts and then said, "You must know that the value of the message is not equal. The same message is priceless for some people, but not worth a penny for others."
Lance is saying that the photos in the camera may be of no value to others, but only useful to him; and the news about Penelope and Matthew is an unmeasurable weight to paparazzi, but it is useless to him.
In fact, Lance's words are not entirely tempting the other party. Among the many news, Lance chose this one because the news is very involved. Once the news is revealed, the subsequent chain effect will continue.
On the one hand, it is aimed at the "Saharan Cavalry", and the attention of this film will rise steadily. But this news involves wind/flow/rhythm/things, and is not a positive publicity for the film. This will put Diorama Film in a dilemma. If you take advantage of the situation, you may repeat the mistakes of "Troy". If you calm down, you may miss the promotion opportunity. No matter how Ryan Kavalug chooses, it will be a very difficult thing. More importantly, the invasion of a large number of paparazzi will disrupt the shooting order of the crew.
In addition, Lance learned from the news read in his previous life that the Moroccan government was very welcome to the arrival of Hollywood, but the real reason for the welcome was that it could benefit themselves. Many government officials asked for bribes from the crew, which made the production cost of the "Saharan Cavalry" continue to increase - and not used in the right way.
Imagine that the attention of the "Saharan cavalry" has increased, and the influx of paparazzi will inevitably make the crew even more popular. If Lance were the officials who were greedy/polluted/bribery, he would definitely take the opportunity to speak out, and I don't know what those officials working in Morocco thought.
On the other hand, it is aimed at "killing people with a knife". Lance doesn't mind paparazzi reporting on the film's scandal because he needs the audience to treat the movie as an ordinary commercial movie, and Paramount will also be happy to see it - they still have huge expectations for the box office. The hype of scandals will make people pay attention to gossip news. They will not pay attention to the "killing people with a knife" work itself, but they will learn about this work, which is a good thing for the release of the movie.
However, this is bound to take some risks. If the paparazzi did not focus on the "Sahara Cavalry" crew according to Lance's idea, but came to ask about Tom's impression of being cheated, then his purpose of trying to cover up Tom's appearance would be wasted.
This is probably what it means to take the chestnut from the fire.
This news is a temptation that paparazzi cannot refuse. At the same time, Lance can also use paparazzi to achieve the purpose of cracking down on Diorama Film, and also avoid paparazzi from focusing their attention on the crew of "borrowing a knife to kill people", which can definitely be said to be a proposal to kill two birds with one stone.
Dylan knew that Lance's warning made sense. If the news was confirmed, then there would be no problem for him to hand over the digital camera in his hand directly, but... is it really that simple? Is the camera in his hand not more valuable?
Thinking of this, Dylan decided to take another risk, "But I have to go to Morocco to verify this news. After I confirm it, I will hand over the memory to you."
Dylan didn't believe what Lance said was the real news, and Lance didn't believe that Dylan would not release it when he took the camera back. The trust bond of this transaction almost did not exist.
The words of rejection were already at the tip of his tongue. But Lance thought about it and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, "Tomorrow at 8 o'clock, 'Eat clean' restaurant, where Kayla and I have a date."
This is a temporary nonsense. However, this can divert attention a little. It is also a scandal that can shift people's attention from Tom to Lance himself. Since the "day-to-day" episode, people have been very concerned about the "date" between Lance and Kayla. Now, Lance has taken the initiative to deliver it to the door.
Of course, this is just an ideal situation, and paparazzi is uncontrollable. What will happen at that time? Even Lance cannot predict it. However, Lance never fights unprepared battles. The two scandals not only play a role in diverting the focus, but also play a role in delaying time. "Borrowing a knife to kill people" is now on track. If the filming can be completed within two weeks, then even if the paparazzi drowns Tom, there will be no problem.
As for the ones who appeared in these two scandals, everyone is a chess piece, a chess piece that is fully utilized for the ultimate goal, including Lance himself.
"Keira Knightley?" Dylan's eyes lit up. He was not surprised at all. In Hollywood, in order to create explosive points and hype news, he took the initiative to call paparazzi to the artists who took the initiative to film. There is no thousand or eight hundred, and similar news can be seen almost every week.
Lance smiled and closed his jaw. Dylan began to think about it. He first reported the scandal between Lance and Keira, which triggered the first wave of focus. Then he rushed to Morocco in person to chase the shocking exclusive. This was definitely a good deal. But it was precisely because of this good deal that Dylan became more interested in his camera.
"Greed is often the root of destruction of everything." Lance's voice came faintly in the darkness, like a king of the darkness, making people shudder.
Dylan could feel a thin goose bump on his back, and of course he knew this. For a truly smart reporter, he could report everything, not report anything, and pretended not to know what he could do, and he could trade it but not make it public... This is a compulsory course for everyone, and so is paparazzi.
So Dylan took the initiative to stretch out his right hand, spread his palm wide, and then said with a smile, "You should know that I can come in to the crew once, and I can come in for the second time, right?" The subtext is that if Lance's news just now was false, then he would never give up.
Lance walked forward, picked up the digital camera, and without any hesitation, put the camera directly into his pocket, "Work harder." It means that my news is true, and if you can't find evidence, it's your dereliction of duty.
Seeing that Lance did not return the camera to him, his eyes rolled around, and then gave up the investigation. Instead, he took out a wrinkled business card from his pocket and handed it to Lance, "Dylan Wilde." They are all smart people. Maybe in the future, they still have opportunities to cooperate. Who knows?
Lance did not refuse and took the business card off, and then Dylan did not stop, pressed his baseball cap, turned around and left with great strides. When he walked to the front of the RV, Dylan stopped and nodded politely to the side, and then continued to move forward. Lance looked in Dylan's direction, and then saw Emma standing not far away.
