American fame and fortune

Los Angeles, Ritz-Carlton Hotel.

Filippo from Rome looked at the wall clock. It was still early for the appointment time. He sat in front of the computer and enjoyed various star news on the American website.

Partner Simeone said: "The Hollywood awards season has begun, and it's extraordinarily lively."

Filippo asked: "Will Pitt win the Best Actor Oscar?"

"It's difficult." Simeone, as the person in charge of the Brioni brand in Los Angeles, has a better understanding of this place, and said an objective fact: "With or without the blessing of Oscars, he is one of the limited superstars in Hollywood."

Brioni is a top menswear luxury brand from Italy, famous for its high-end customization, and has a large number of fans among politicians, businessmen and celebrities.

In addition, the brand is also a sponsor of the Bond series. In the past ten years, all James Bond costumes have been provided by Brioni.

The previous spokesperson Brosnan's contract expired, and Brioni believes that the new Bond lacks elegance and wisdom, and does not conform to the brand positioning.

Filippo came from Rome this time, and he was preparing to sign a contract with Brad Pitt, making him the global spokesperson of the brand.

Simeone reminded: "The Avalon bar door incident last time had a great impact on Pete, but Pete has accumulated over the years and resisted the impact."

Filippo didn't care too much: "It's just a trivial matter that celebrities are jealous. Those who like Aniston, the type of American sweetheart, are mostly the most ordinary Americans, and they are not potential users of Brioni."

Simeone didn't say anything anymore, and sat in front of his notebook to read the news.

Suddenly, someone knocked on the study door from outside, and his assistant hurried in.

Simeone asked: "What happened?"

The assistant lowered his voice: "Look at the TMZ website, there are news about Pete on it."

Hearing the name TMZ, Simeone tensed up. Last year, Brad Pitt and Martin Davis' bar door incident was first disclosed by this website.

Since then, TMZ has become famous and exposed a lot of shocking news one after another, and the authenticity is infinitely close to 100%.

Simeone landed on the TMZ website, and what he saw was a large feature in bold—a number of domestic nannies accused Brad Pitt of molesting, beating and seducing...

Below is the video, just posted a few minutes ago.

The first one to show up was a Latina woman, plain, not ugly.

"I served the Pitt family for a while in 2002. It was normal at the beginning, but after a long time I felt that something was wrong. When the hostess was not at home, Brad Pitt always stared at me. Probably About a month into my employment, Pete cornered me at home while the hostess was out filming."

"He offered me $1,000 and offered me to have sex with him and put me on my knees in his service. I refused. But Pete threatened me that if I didn't do what he asked, I'd be fired and I'd be paid my job. The company called and asked the company to notify the entire Los Angeles counterparts... woo woo..."

"I still have three children to raise, I have been doing housekeeping, I don't know other skills, I can't lose my job, I can only agree to Pete. This relationship lasted a few times. I found that Pete was violent and manic, and hurt me a few times. , I secretly hinted to the hostess, the hostess is very nice and gave me a sum of money to let me go."

Behind is a white nanny, who is also very average. The employer has obviously selected it, but it can't stop Pete, who is full of enthusiasm for domestic nanny.

"Brad Pitt is a scumbag. He seduced me with money, threatened me with work, and behind the back of his mistress and him... I can't help it. I really can't. I don't agree with him and he beat me! The mistress treats me Very good, I felt sorry for her, so I offered to resign..."

There are two other videos of the same accusation, all of which are female nanny real appearances and real-name accusations.

Just to the side of these four side-by-side videos, there is a video with a larger window.

It was a video that a nanny secretly took with Pete. Although there was no sound, it could be seen from the video that Pete slapped the nanny before the nanny squatted down.

Violent coercion!

Simeone has always been based in Los Angeles, knowing that Pete will face a huge storm, and even if it can be settled later, his reputation will be greatly damaged.

He picked up his laptop, came to Filippo, and said, "Look at these videos, TMZ just broke the news today."

Filippo browsed through it, immediately realized the problem, and made a decisive decision: "Brad Pitt's risk has increased sharply, we need to make changes, postpone the meeting with him and endorsement negotiations..."

Simeone said: "I agree, let's see the subsequent changes first."

The assistant came in again and said, "Brad Pitt and his agent are here."

Simeone looked at Filippo, who thought for a while and said, "The matter is not yet finalized, so go see someone first."

The two went downstairs at the same time to the business meeting room on the fourth floor.

In the living room, Pete and his agent Maggie Duckhill were already waiting here.

The latter is full of confidence in this cooperation: "Brioni belongs to the top level among relatively popular men's clothing brands, which will help expand your influence."

Pete nodded, the $7 million a year endorsement fee basically satisfied him.

Maggie went on to say: "The signing of this sponsorship contract happens to be at a critical point in the awards season. It will attract a lot of people's attention, and it will also help you get an Oscar nomination."

"Is it just a nomination?" Pete wanted more: "I want to win that statuette."

Maggie is clear-headed: "It's more difficult to win the award, we'll take it step by step, after all, you will have plenty of opportunities in the future."

Pete thought of the old men in the college, and said, "I'm not old enough, it's okay, if it doesn't work this year, we will continue next year."

The door of the living room opened from the outside, and Filippo and Simeone came in one after another.

After the two parties exchanged greetings, Maggie quickly got to the point: "For this endorsement, Brioni chooses Pete..."

But Filippo interrupted her: "Ms. Darkhill, Mr. Pete, there are some problems within the company. I need to return to Rome urgently. The endorsement contract has to be postponed for a while. I am very sorry for that."

Hearing this, Pete and Maggie's first reaction was that something was wrong.

Maggie tentatively asked: "Can you know what happened?"

Simeone replied vaguely: "Please give us a little time to deal with internal affairs."

Pete wanted to speak, but was stopped by Maggie's eyes. This time, there was a change in the endorsement negotiation that she didn't understand.

Find out the situation first, and then talk about other things.

Filippo and Simeone said a few scenes, Pete and Maggie said goodbye and left.

Downstairs, Pete was quite angry and said, "What is Briony doing? Are you playing us?"

Maggie said: "When I contacted this morning, everything was normal. It is impossible for this change to happen for no reason. I will first find out the situation."

Pete turned around in circles and pinched his waist with both hands: "They lack due respect for me!"

Maggie's and Pete's phones rang one after another.

After the two connected, they only heard one sentence, and hurried to the secluded place.

After listening to what their respective assistants said, they hung up the phone almost at the same time.

Maggie asked, "TMZ?"

Pete's face was very serious: "Yes."

Maggie asked again: "What's going on?"

Of course Pete would not tell the truth, and he gave a limited answer: "Those domestic nannies always like to seduce me, and sometimes I can't help it, and I will inevitably make mistakes that some men will make."

He added: "I gave them comfort money and signed a non-disclosure agreement!"

"It's useless to talk about it now." Maggie greeted him: "Call your publicist and ask him to meet at the company."

TMZ's reputation in the industry is getting better and better. It is known for being prepared and credible when it comes to breaking news. She also knows her clients. This matter is very troublesome: "By the way, call your lawyer."

While talking on the phone, Pete followed Maggie out of the hotel gate.

Before reaching the parking area, a group of people walked over, and the leader of the group looked vaguely familiar.

Maggie was still recalling that the man stopped a few meters ahead, showed his ID and relevant procedures, and said to Pete at the same time: "Mr. investigation……"

Speaking of routine, he motioned to a police car parked nearby: "Mr. Pete, please cooperate."

"This is slander!" Pete was furious: "You should arrest them for defamation!"

The man said again: "Please cooperate."

Maggie saw the formalities and knew she couldn't refuse, so she said to Pete, "You go there first, and don't say anything until the lawyer arrives."

Pete was expressionless, followed these people into the car, and went to the police station.

Nearby, five photojournalists from TMZ, each holding a camera and a video camera, took pictures of Pete being taken into a police car from different angles.

When the police car roared away, the three continued to chase after the film on a motorcycle, and the other two got into a car next to them.

In the driving seat, Jody had already turned on the laptop, connected the data cable, and said, "Hurry up, upload pictures and articles, tell the truth, don't exaggerate."

One of the male subordinates took the notebook and got busy without saying a word.

By the floor-to-ceiling windows of the business meeting room on the fourth floor, Simeone and Filippo, who were discussing things, watched Brad Pitt being escorted into a police car by LAPD.

Simeone said: "This matter is probably true. Without enough evidence, LAPD will not easily summon a rich man and star of Pitt's level."

Filippo nodded slightly, and said: "The invitation to Pete to be the spokesperson is void, and then choose other suitable candidates. I will go back to Rome first, and you can recommend some as appropriate."

Simeone frowned: "There are only a few superstars in Hollywood, Leonardo has a clothing endorsement, Johnny Depp doesn't match our style at all, Will Smith is black, George Clooney signed Armani , Keanu Reeves is too decadent everyday..."

Filippo said: "Look slowly, there will always be something suitable."

This is an ordinary day in December, and it is another day that catches the attention of people who eat melons.

Just when other media hadn't reacted, and those who had reacted were still verifying the authenticity of "Nanny Gate", Brad Pitt was on the headlines of TMZ again.

This time, it was the live photos and videos of him being taken away by the LAPD.

The city of Los Angeles is a sensation!
