Hollywood Road

When he got home, the eastern sky had already turned a bit of fish belly white, but Murphy didn't have any sleepiness. He went to the workroom to open the laptop, took the car police receiver from the car, and flipped through the computer. Instructions for use stored above, along with LA Police Police Code.

The memory of the former Murphy told him that if he wanted to make money from the freelance journalist industry, it was an essential tool.

In the event of an accident, this police receiver captures every public contact with the Los Angeles police.

For example, in the car accident last night, if someone called the police at that time, the police control platform would contact the nearest police by calling the on-board receiver, and let them rush to the scene as quickly as possible.

With this police receiver, Murphy can get a similar message, pick the type he wants, and rush over to shoot.

However, the police often use codes, and people who don't understand can't understand them at all.

And the ex is also a caring person, and the type of the Los Angeles Police Police Code and the meaning it represents are recorded in detail on the laptop.

For example, the 148 event represents resisting arrest, the 187 event represents homicide, the 211 event represents armed robbery, etc...

After looking through the police code and studying the usage of the police receiver for a while, Murphy finally couldn't help but look up and down and went to sleep in another room.

I slept in the middle of the afternoon, went downstairs and bought some fast food to solve the problem of eating. Murphy went back to the dilapidated building, sat in front of the laptop, focused on the keyboard, and continued to improve the script that had been written for a long time. .

Murphy did not give up hope even if he knew that the possibility of selling new scripts for newcomers was infinitely low.

For more than half a month, Murphy quit his job in the auto repair shop and divided his life into two parts. After dinner, he drove with a camcorder and a police receiver and set off in West Hollywood, Beverly Hills and St. Turn around around Monica, looking for any valuable news clues, as long as you get useful information from the police receiver, you will rush to the scene of the incident as quickly as possible to shoot, the former Murphy is familiar with the entire Los Angeles area, played a very important role.

On the other hand, after returning to the dilapidated apartment in the early hours of the morning, Murphy will sleep first, wake up in the afternoon to perfect the script or check the open job advertisement, and will not miss any opportunity to actually enter Hollywood.

Maybe it's time to move, or maybe it's a job that doesn't need to look at other people's faces is more suitable for him. Murphy's work and life in the past ten days has been much smoother than before, and he shot nearly twenty videos of car accidents, fires, fights, etc. , most of which were successfully sold to Channel 6 of Fox's Los Angeles local station.

In particular, he was lucky enough to film a video of Madonna Cicconi dating British director Guy Ritchie in West Hollywood, and was introduced by Kara and sold to Fox Television's entertainment channel, earning a full $3,000.

With a relatively stable source of income, the first thing Murphy did was repay the debt, returned the car, the borrowed mobile phone and dollars to Ross in full, and then bought corresponding replacements for himself from the second-hand market, especially the purchased ones. Second-hand Ford sedan, specially modified in the passenger seat with a bracket that can place a camera, so that it can also be filmed while driving.

Furthermore, he printed out multiple copies of the two scripts that he had sorted out, and mailed them to the six major Hollywood companies, as well as dozens of other film companies and studios. .

In addition, Murphy has also interviewed many crews, but they are not ideal. He made a problem with a British director's head and has a criminal record, so that these crews dare not use him easily.

Nearly a month after being released from prison, Murphy has successfully solved basic survival problems, but entering Hollywood is still a dream.

Los Angeles is hot and dry in August.

Even though the sun had deflected to the sea, the temperature was still frighteningly high. Murphy parked the car next to the Santa Monica Esplanade, and the sea breeze blew in from the open car window, bringing a rare touch of coolness.

Looking at the time, Murphy took out the phone and dialed a number again.

"Hello……"

Different from the busy tone ten minutes ago, there was a formulaic voice, "This is the editorial department of Twentieth Century Fox."

"Excuse me, I'm a screenwriter." Murphy said as simply as possible, "My name is Murphy Stanton, and I'm a screenwriter. I delivered a script to your company, and I want to ask you about the results of your review. "

"Thank you for your support of Twentieth Century Fox."

The voice that sounded in the receiver was very polite and calm, "Sir, after we read your script, we will contact you."

Murphy wanted to say something else, but the other party said a few more politely and then hung up the phone.

"It's like this again!"

Throwing the phone on the passenger seat made Murphy somewhat unhappy, "Why are all film companies like this?"

The person just now didn't even ask the name of the script he delivered!

One day today, Murphy, who had been waiting anxiously recently, called several film companies, and the answers were similar to those before. The people who answered the phone were very polite, and what they said was like a routine.

Looking at the sun in the west getting closer and closer to the sea level, Murphy sighed, and basically determined that the way to deliver the script is very unreliable. Dollars are bigger.

No connections, no money, no fame, and no capital at hand. Even someone with a special experience like himself wants to shine in the extremely realistic circle of Hollywood in a short period of time. The difficulty cannot be described by epic levels. .

A newcomer's script has attracted countless people and companies to compete. Is there a more ridiculous joke than this?

At this point, Murphy basically gave up the idea of ​​relying on the script to succeed quickly, and the idea of ​​moving forward step by step became more and more firm.

The sun finally fell into the sea, and went out to have a simple dinner. Murphy returned to the car and turned on the police receiver. As in the past, he screened useful information from the police signal, but tonight The luck of the sky was not very good, until it was completely dark, and no valuable clues were obtained.

Starting the car, Murphy drove towards the Santa Monica Valley. The law and order in the United States is indeed not good, but it is in the downtown area, such as Santa Monica and West Hollywood, where the wealthy and elite gather, the level of attention of the police and the The police force deployed is much better than the Latin community or the black community.

The law and order in the wealthy areas is getting better and the law and order in the slums is getting worse and worse. This is what Murphy has learned through field experience.

But unless there is a large-scale fire or serial murder in the slums, the news there is of little value. The general public likes to see the anti-elite culture and psychology of the elite or the rich and unlucky, as in North America as in any other country in the world.

It's just that the security of the wealthy area has improved, making such news appear less and less on TV, but it also highlights the value of Murphy's work. After all, scarcity can sell for high prices.

Since selling the first video, Murphy spent most of his working time in the wealthy area relatively close to the seaside and the valley. Even if there are emergencies in the city center, he rarely rushes to it.

The Ford sprinted east along 7th Street in Santa Monica, Murphy's eyes fixed ahead, his ears constantly picking up on every sound from the police receiver, perhaps recently running out of luck, until he After walking around Santa Monica, there was nothing worth rushing to shoot.

The night is getting darker and darker. This is the bustling Santa Monica. The traffic on the street is not only decreasing, but it is increasing. Murphy deliberately went to the streets lined with bars and nightclubs, hoping to have a lucky encounter. to Hollywood stars getting drunk and messing around and stuff like that.

Although Santa Monica is the home of many Hollywood stars, such good things don't come across every day. Murphy turned around and found nothing, so he had to leave here and go to the Santa Monica Valley to try his luck.

The people living in the Santa Monica Valley are all wealthy people. People who work in a profession like Murphy want to buy real estate here, and don't even think about it in the short term.

Murphy drove slowly along the road. The entire valley area was very quiet. Ordinary people would like the quietness here, but he would not.

"Let's do something quickly, even if it's a burglary."

Controlling the steering wheel, Murphy kept talking to himself in the car, hoping that some accidents or violence would happen soon in this quiet residential area, so that he could take pictures of something of value, at least tonight. of gas money back.

After buying this second-hand Ford, the cost of modifying the co-pilot camera bracket, and finding a lawyer for himself, Murphy actually doesn't have much money. Poor people have short ambitions. In a situation like his, the most urgent thing is undoubtedly It is possible to quickly make another fortune and avoid sitting on the mountain.

This backfired. When it was about to drive out of the Santa Monica Valley, the police receiver did not transmit any valuable clues. Instead, a vehicle in the West Hollywood area crashed into the streetlight.

Murphy couldn't help but stepped on the accelerator and prepared to go over there. After all, it wasn't very far there. If he passed in time, he might capture valuable pictures and at least get some oil money back.

Just as Murphy stepped on the accelerator and the car was just picking up speed, a hurried female voice suddenly sounded from the car's police receiver.

"All units in Santa Monica, 17 Bill Road, Valley, Inc. 211! Repeat, this is 211..."

Hearing this, Murphy didn't even think about it, and immediately stepped on the brakes to turn around, and the car rushed towards the road where it came at a much faster speed than before.

Bill Road was not far from the main road he was driving on, only three intersections.

The Ford sedan was like a black lightning bolt, and Murphy, who was driving, was not only full of energy, but also obviously excited.

211 meant armed robbery, and if he remembered correctly, there were very rich people living near Bill Road in the Valley.

What kind of big bucks does news of armed robbery of extremely wealthy people sell for?
