Chapter 16 Talent is worth nothing here

PS. Here is today's update, and by the way, I will get tickets for the "Starting Point" 515 Fan Festival. Everyone has 8 tickets, and the voting will also send starting coins. I beg everyone for your support and appreciation!

For the Los Angeles Police Department, $100,000 is not a big number, but just like Murphy thought, it is not an easy thing to get the $100,000 smoothly, especially if the person who holds the reward is still he.

However, Murphy had a recording of the police in his hands, and Channel 6 was eyeing to report another breach of trust in the government. Coupled with Robert, who could get a cut of the money, the Los Angeles police were evaded for a period of time, and they were again arrested by the third After the Channel 6 news bombing had no credibility, the money was eventually transferred to Murphy's bank account.

In the same way, the LAPD's perception of Murphy became worse. Even when he was driving out, he was stopped by police cars several times, and he used some bad excuses to suspect illegal possession of guns and possibly drugs. Unfortunately, , they are doomed to get nothing.

In addition, in the name of assisting the investigation, they invited Murphy to the police station several times, but they were accompanied by a lawyer, and the police who lacked sufficient evidence could only watch how he came in and how he went out.

Murphy is very clear that he is now a member of the Los Angeles police blacklist and pays great attention to abiding by the law, such as guns and drugs that Americans often touch, he hides all of them far away, and never gives the police any reason or reason. Excuse.

Moreover, he also bought the latest Sony miniature camera, which can be shot at any time, so as to prevent the police from being framed.

In addition, Murphy's normal work has been in progress. The California media, led by Channel 6 and Fox Television Network, have carried out overwhelming coverage of the shooting incident. The last time such a real shooting scene appeared was a few years ago. One can only imagine how the previous North Hollywood robbery would react.

Besides, the TV station is not willing to just summarize this as a simple shootout between police and bandits. In the numerous reports, it is constantly mentioned that black people who do not have the conditions to resist were shot and killed by white police officers. In addition, there have been several incidents of white police officers arbitrarily arresting black people recently. In the end, there was a small black protest in Los Angeles.

It has to be said that due to many reasons such as historical legacy, black people are born with a fragile glass heart.

In front of the Los Angeles City Hall and the Los Angeles County Police Department, there were several large-scale protests by black people, and the scene was tense and even triggered.

Such activities are naturally what the media like to see. They report and spread in various ways to attract more people's attention.

Not only that, Murphy shot a lot of material, ready to participate in Channel Six's documentary project to make a documentary reflecting the law and order situation in Los Angeles.

Of course, he is more just participating.

In this documentary on violent crime, Los Angeles is definitely not a thriving city of angels, but a sin city full of violence, drugs, car accidents, and other crimes!

Also, with the intervention of Fox Network, the police did not obtain a court restraining order for the two videos Murphy filmed.

"Looks like you've been having a good time lately,"

In a restaurant in Chinatown in Los Angeles, Ross took a swig of beer and looked at Murphy across from him. "At least it's better than I thought."

Murphy also took a sip of beer. "It's just luck."

"It's not luck." Ross waved his big tattooed hand, "It's always been your advantage to dare to think, and you've played the Los Angeles police into a clown this time."

Although Murphy mentioned these things to him in a single stroke, and did not mention the hands and feet at all, Ross could still guess that his friend must have used some shady means in it.

"You can't say that.

"Murphy shrugged. "I just happened to meet. I've always been a good citizen of Los Angeles." "

There is no need to worry about anything between Ross and Murphy. They sneered mercilessly, "Will a good citizen beat a British director to the head?"

Murphy couldn't help but patted the table and emphasized, "That was an accidental injury! Besides, it was only a minor injury at the time. The problem with his head was something that happened after I was in prison for half a year, and it has nothing to do with me at all!"

"You ruined their directing career." Ross still didn't let him go. "Poor Englishman."

What is the name of the director who left behind the aftermath? Murphy thought for a while, vaguely remembering that someone called him Chris or Cross or something.

There were not many people in the restaurant, and Murphy and Ross were also sitting in the corners, speaking a little unscrupulously.

"What are you going to do next?"

After a few jokes, Ross gradually turned to the topic, "Are you still going to enter Hollywood? I think what you are doing now is very good."

Murphy put down his knife and fork and asked rhetorically, "Why not? I'm going to participate in a documentary on Channel Six to gain some experience, and when the documentary is finished, I'll shoot a movie."

With a look of disdain on his face, Ross curled his lips and said angrily, "It takes a lot of money to make a movie. Do you have that much money?"

"Hey, can you not hit me?" Murphy pointed at him dissatisfied, and said in a deliberately ostentatious tone, "I just made $230,000!"

"A lot? Are you sure the $230,000 is yours?"

From the outside, Ross looks like a simple-minded Latino who only fights and kills, but he is very thoughtful, otherwise he would not be able to occupy a large piece of the underground market in downtown Los Angeles.

He raised his finger, "Let me do the math for you, naive Mr. Murphy Stanton, if you want to enter the film industry, it means you have to abide by the rules of the game set by the government, then your $230,000 will be a big one. The pen is handed over to the tax bureau, and your lawyer needs to take a commission, and you will also need to file a filing fee with the relevant trade union. How much is left in the end, are you sure you can shoot a real movie?"

Looking at Murphy, his eyes suddenly widened, "You don't want to shoot tens of thousands of dollars of garbage."

"Of course not!" Murphy raised his voice slightly. "I'm shooting real movies, not cheap stuff."

Ross shook his head, "You still need money."

Murphy rewarded him with a pair of white eyes, "Nonsense, if you don't have a lot of money, how can you go to a movie?"

Filming is a future plan, and now Murphy is preparing to participate in the production of Channel 6's documentary. This timely documentary on violent crime is not planned to be filmed, but will use many of the past Channel 6 broadcasts. material, and quite a few videos he shot have also entered the ranks of candidates.

It's hard to say how much income these will bring, but Murphy is looking at being able to participate in the project and gain practical experience for himself.

The two sides chatted about their respective futures, and Ross suddenly lowered his voice, "I have seen the images of the two black people in the newspaper, and I have seen them a long time ago."

Murphy couldn't help but stunned, "You know them?"

"It's not just them," Ross tried hard to remember, "I should have seen the male owner of the family that was wiped out on Bill Road before."

"Oh?" Murphy looked at Ross, waiting for his next words.

Ross got a little closer to this side and lowered his voice again, "It may be that both black criminals are dead, and the Beale Road family has also been wiped out. The police have not found any more useful clues. In fact, what they should be doing is An industry similar to mine."

Similar industry? Murphy was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that Ross's main business was **** and illegal firearms.

Murphy's head turned very fast, "Is it possible that this is a fire caused by a drug dispute?"

"It's possible." Rose shrugged. "They're all dead, who knows."

He stood up, "it's getting late, it's time for me to go back, there's a party tonight, together?"

Murphy looked at his watch, shook his head and said, "No, I also have a party tonight. The news director of Channel 6 is going to take me to a high-end party. It is said that many celebrities will also attend."

On the way home, Murphy went to buy a suit. In the evening, Carla Firth was going to take him to a party in the media and sports circles. There would be many celebrities in the movie and sports circles.

For Murphy, who is obsessed with Hollywood, he will definitely not miss such an opportunity.

When I got home, I hung up the phone with Kara and agreed on a time and place to meet. Murphy went back to the workshop and continued to work as a screenwriter. When he was tired, he turned out the videos he shot and made them according to his own ideas. Editing together, Quan should be practicing.

No matter how great a director is, they need opportunities, and they need to be honed before they succeed, even for such recognized cinematic geniuses as James Cameron and Steven Spielberg.

Despite his self-confidence, Murphy does not consider himself a super genius like the first two, and understands the simple truth that hard work pays off.

Is it possible to make a movie easily without having to pay much for a new life? The difference between watching a movie and filming and making this movie is more than two Pacific Oceans.

Besides, genius... Hollywood has never been short of movie talent.

As for the idea that Hollywood will flock to Hollywood after writing a few scripts, Murphy has already completely put it to the back of his mind. He has delivered two scripts in total to production companies or studios that Hollywood can call famous , so far there has been no response. He called to inquire, and the other party heard that he was just a new screenwriter, and all he said were routine coping.

"Talent, if there is no chance, talent is worthless here!"

After editing the two shots, Murphy sighed. Before coming here, he was still a naive student. Like many people, he believed that as long as he was talented, he would be able to succeed and would be appreciated by big men.

It's just that more than a year of tempering has made him understand that this kind of thinking is really naive.

The sun outside the window gradually turned to the west. Murphy put down his work, put on his newly bought suit, and prepared to meet Carla Faith to see if he could meet someone he was familiar with at the so-called high-end party.
