Lisko’s American Life

Chapter 71 The Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel

"Haha, Li, you are really prolific. I have to start working. I have gained a lot of weight recently." Lu Bo is very happy to have something to do. After all, this represents a fortune. He cooperated with Lisko to open The cultural company also signed a few writers, but they didn't earn even a fraction of Lisko's. Lisko didn't write new books, so the company was really idle.

Lu Bo, who took the manuscript of the new book, happily went to the company to prepare. This time, he will rely on this new book to take a bite of fat from Random House, the largest publishing house in the world. He likes to work with these publishing houses the most. Let's talk about the terms, the fluctuation of the next point is related to the interests of millions of dollars.

Lisko sent Lu Bo away, and he began to have nothing to do. He has completed three purposes of this trip. One is to inspect the investment company and arrange the use of this profit. The other is to visit the mentor and Mary who have not come back for a long time. , and the third is the new book just given to Lu Bo.

According to the plan, the next thing is to transfer to Los Angeles, facing a matter that he already knows the result.

Even though I had made a lot of preparations before coming, I was still a little hesitant when I arrived.

Recalling the few months with Megan, the days of traveling together, the coffee delivered by typing in the study, and her heroic figure when facing the wolves together.

Lisko didn't know why they became like this. Maybe Lisko was selfish in his heart and wanted Megan to stay with him at home all the time. Everyone in love is selfish, but Megan wants a career more.

Despite all the unwillingness to face it, Lisko could not escape at this juncture. Lisko packed his bags and set foot on the road to Los Angeles.

When the plane landed, Lisko went out with the flow of people. This time, no one picked him up. Lu Bo heard that Lisko was going to Los Angeles, and introduced him to the director of the Paramount production department. Lisko did not contact him. , He thought that he came here this time to sort out his relationship with Megan, and it would not be very good to go to the set with a lot of fanfare.

Rejecting the taxi offer, Lisko boarded the hotel's pick-up car.

The hotel booked this time is the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel. This hotel is located in the center of Hollywood and has been reserved by movie fans who come here all the year round. Lisko still used the privilege of the black card to get one this time.

Many movie fans regard this place as an indispensable stop for Hollywood travel, and it is also used by many film crews as a filming location. There are also some weird things circulating here from time to time. It is rumored that the ghosts of some stars have been living there. The ghost of movie star Montgomery Cliff is said to have been staying in room 928 of the hotel. Marilyn Monroe lived in Room 246 when she first arrived in Hollywood. The large mirror in her room is now placed in the lobby of the corridor. It is said that many people saw her appearing in the mirror.

Of course, Lisko was also a little curious about this, so he decided to live here this time and booked a boutique suite.

The hotel has a history of 81 years. Since it was taken over by the Thomas Hotel Group three years ago, it has undergone original renovations, trying its best to restore this hotel with a long history and a long history in Hollywood that hosted the Oscars.

The exterior of the hotel is a white multi-storey building with an ancient style. After entering, you will be attracted by the coffered ceiling in the lobby. In the center is a three-story fountain. There are many tourists throwing coins here. Although it may be useless, it is just for seeking A psychological comfort.

The perimeter of the fountain is covered with beautiful white tiles. It is said that the swimming pool was painted by David Hockney, the "Godfather of British Art". Lisko also stopped to take a photo.

Going forward, I saw the mirror in the hall. Lisko stared at it for a while, but he didn't see Monroe, so he had no choice but to think that he had no fate with this world-renowned goddess.

After Lisko showed his reservation information at the front desk, he was carried upstairs by a black brother with his luggage.

The rooms here all reveal the atmosphere of Hollywood's glorious era. The spacious vaulted room is said to have been designed and repaired by the well-known design studio Yabu. Inside are Belgian famous brand Martin Margiela blankets and towels, luxurious beds and sofas. . There are also luxurious bathrooms with rainfall showerheads and huge flat screen TVs.

Li Ke opened the curtains, and the sunlight was projected from the window, and he could see a huge swimming pool outside the hotel, with a coffee shop next to it.

There is also a fruit bar nearby, and the library bar inside the hotel, which is very popular in Lisko.

In general, this hotel not only has the sensual atmosphere of Hollywood in the last century, but also adds the unique artistic design and concept of the new century. All the placement and decoration will make you feel very comfortable and comfortable.

The beautiful environment also dilutes the depression in Lisko's heart. He looked at the time and it was already afternoon, and he couldn't do other things today. He simply picked up his camera and took a stroll in this famous world-famous holy land of film production.

Out of the hotel, the palm trees are the most seen, which is also the most distinctive landscape in Los Angeles. There are dozens of varieties, some are strong and straight, some are slender and exquisite. Among them, only the California palm is a local species: the trunk is slender, the crown is fluffy, and it bears fruit all the year round. It was the daily food of the local Indians in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Thousands of trees were planted on both sides of the streets in the Los Angeles area in the 1920s and 1930s, and they are still the main streetscapes in Hollywood, West Hollywood, Santa Monica and other areas, becoming a symbol of Hollywood. Some people say that as long as you see the palm trees, you are in Los Angeles.

Lisko visited all afternoon, and the camera kept taking pictures. It was full of landscape photos, including Sunset Boulevard, the famous Chinese Theater, and taking photos with the handprints of famous movie stars on the Avenue of Stars.

I also visited the Dolby Theater, where the Oscars are held, Beverly Hills where celebrities gather, and the famous studio Universal Studios.

However, Lisko deliberately avoided Paramount Film City, he knew that "Transformers" was filmed here.

Lisko went back to the hotel to sort out the photo album. Recently, his photography skills have been greatly improved after a lot of shooting and some guidance from books. The scenery he took has also paid attention to composition and color.

After a simple dinner, he didn't intend to go to bed early, wandered to the bar where the tourists were bustling, ordered a glass of fruit wine, and watched the men and women dancing wantonly on the dance floor at the counter.

After politely rejecting the female tourists who came up to strike up a conversation, Lisko was already outstanding in appearance, and his long-term literary influence also gave him a scholarly temperament. The bartenders here are envious.
