Hollywood (我就是好莱坞) Part II

CHAPTER 251 - Fantastic!

Jeffrey stayed up until past 8 o'clock to finish all the tasks assigned by Eric. Nevertheless, he still felt worried and tossed and turned throughout the night without being able to sleep. Early the next morning, when the sky was just beginning to brighten, Jeffrey got up from bed with dark circles under his eyes. After a quick wash, he went out to buy a plethora of newspapers and stood beside the newspaper stand, eagerly reading them.

Sure enough, in the Manhattan Morning Post, a photo of the environmental organization's members sprawled on the lawn was printed in a very prominent position, and the quality was not as clear as the few photos Eric had taken specifically. What made Jeffrey even more anxious was that the newspaper also published a photo of the crew members and environmental organization members pushing and shoving each other. The paparazzi was quite shrewd. Although you couldn't see the expressions of the two people above, it was clear that one of the crew members had raised his foot to kick the environmental organization member opposite, and the protester seemed to be retreating in fear.

Yesterday, the sequel of "Home Alone" was shooting intensively in Central Park, Manhattan, when it encountered obstruction from the famous environmental protection organization GEPO. Jeffrey couldn't help but swear when he read the first sentence of the newspaper, as he had negotiated with this so-called environmental organization for so long, yet he had not even known who they were.

Though Jeffery was furious, he read on. It was said that the crew of "Home Alone 2" wanted to spread the chemical substance magnesium sulfate hexahydrate, which is similar to snow, on the vegetation in Central Park, which would cause great damage to the plants. To stop this improper behavior, the members of GEPO had a long negotiation with the production team of the other crew. Even when they encountered physical conflicts with them, they could only lie on the lawn to protest. The journalist we went to interview also experienced the rude expulsion of the crew of "Home Alone 2".

Members of Gepo revealed to us that their strength was inadequate. Despite their strong protests, the crew of "Home Alone 2" temporarily ceased shooting, yet the other party was unwilling to give up. Central Park is famously known as "the Lung of Manhattan," and Manhattan residents can breathe fresher air than other areas of New York, thanks to the purifying effect of Central Park's vegetation. Thus, we urge the people of Manhattan to pay attention to the development of this case and strongly suggest that the Manhattan District Government intervene to prevent the crew of "Home Alone 2" from causing reckless environmental destruction.

Jeffrey had a chill after reading the article. The last paragraph of the report incited the citizens of Manhattan to protest against the crew shooting in Central Park. If the government of Manhattan couldn't withstand the pressure of public opinion and intervene, then "Home Alone 2" would have to wait for a real snowfall in New York before resuming shooting, with no telling when that would be. Without snow, the scenes in Central Park would look out of place compared to the snow scenes already filmed elsewhere.

After reading the report, Jeffrey had no desire to read any other newspaper and went straight to find the few he had done public relations for the day before.

Fortunately, several newspapers such as 'The New York Times', 'The New York Post' and 'The New York News' have fairly reported on Jeffrey's PR yesterday, as the writers received a PR fee. The language was biased towards the crew, and 'The New York Post' also included an interview with a chemistry professor from New York University, which was also arranged by Jeffrey. The professor explained in detail and objectively the material of magnesium sulfate heptahydrate used as artificial snow, stating that as long as it is not used in large amounts, it will not only not harm the plants, but also promote their growth.

After quickly reading a few newspapers, Jeffrey hurried off to the hotel.

Dong, dong, dong...

Eric knocked on the door with urgency, and after a few moments, the door was cautiously opened and a blond beauty in a nightgown appeared.
