America’s Road To Wealth

  Chapter 170 The Unique Red Sofa

  In Los Angeles in November, the temperature also began to drop.

   Fortunately, compared to the hot summer, although Los Angeles in mid-November cools down, the average daytime temperature can remain at around 20-22 degrees.

  With the sunshine, you can even wear short sleeves at noon.

  Other times, you only need to wear short suits, T-shirts, thin jeans and pants made of single-layer cotton and linen fabrics, and you can hold them.

  In addition, November is also the dry season in Los Angeles.

   There is no need to worry about sudden rain.

  This kind of temperature and weather is compared to New York, which has already had a snowstorm.

  That is really much better.

  16th day.

  Anne Hathaway, in the crew of "The Princess Diaries", temporarily finished filming her own scenes.

  She was holding a script and was in a daze.

  Since almost a month ago, Annie and Abel played happily in Los Angeles for two days.

  She hasn't seen her boyfriend for a month.

   Although after that, in newspapers and entertainment news on some TV stations.

  She can see her boyfriend every day.

  But the boyfriend she met in that kind of place annoyed her.

  Because in those places, the boyfriend she met was always surrounded by other young and beautiful women.

   When Abel appeared next to Charlize Theron, a second-tier Hollywood actress.

  Annie finally couldn't bear it anymore.

  Anne at the time, after hesitating for two or three days.

  She called her boyfriend.

  On the phone, when Annie hesitated, she hesitated to ask that question.

  Abel answered her with a smile on the other end of the phone:

   "Hi~ honey, listen to me, it's all fake. You know, I have a modeling agency in Elizabeth's back garden!"

   “This company is a startup with no reputation at all.”

   "Then I can only sacrifice myself to bring fame to the company's employees."

   "This can increase their social status and allow them to earn a little more money when they pick up jobs."

   "Then my company can make more money accordingly."

   "Annie, you know, those are fake."

   "You are my girlfriend, you should understand me!"

  Anne didn't know if she could understand.

  But on the phone, she still said she understood.

   I said so, but the result was the next day.

  The woman who was on the news with Abel was replaced by another one.

  Women are different, but young and beautiful appearance and good figure, and the appearance of being intimate with Abel in the media.

  It is exactly the same.

  After Annie saw it, she could only comfort herself.

   These are Abel, using his own fame.

  To promote these people who are signed in his company, which can bring him more benefits.

  She comforted herself like this, which could make her feel better.

   But it's just a little bit better.

  Able to rely on my own ability to be admitted to a good university like New York University.

  Annie's fault is that her IQ is really not low.

   As time went by, Abel's tidbits didn't diminish one bit.

   So much so that in the end she counted, including herself.

   In less than a month, he appeared beside Abel.

   A woman who has a close relationship with him, even a little ambiguous.

   There are sixteen in total.

  These sixteen women include Hollywood actresses, youth TV drama idols, and popular supermodels.

   Even New York socialites!

  Every one of them looks very beautiful and has a good figure.

   With some inexplicable psychology, Anne gradually made one phone call every one to two days.

   It turned into not calling Abel for three or four days.

  However, Abel didn't even call her.

   Annie is a little disheartened, she is a little smart.

  She is inexperienced and not that ambitious.

  The more you think about it, the more you think about it.

  So when the shooting of "Princess Diaries" was two-thirds completed, she began to have a relatively free time.

  In the last week, she secretly went to the Screen Actors Guild.

  She got a script, which is a movie with an investment of about tens of millions of dollars.

  She got the audition invitation very smoothly.

   Said it was the leading role, but I didn't know until Annie went, it was just a small supporting role.

  People know the existence of Anne Hathaway, one of the "Smith girls".

  Her most showy time is over. But compared to ordinary stars, they still have a certain degree of popularity.

   Even if she hasn't had a popular work yet.

  Seeing that she was so active, the other party thought it was useless.

  Thinking of whoring her name for free, using her to add some popularity to the movie.

   gave her, who was unknown in Hollywood before this, a chance to audition.

  It's just an unimportant small supporting role, and there are not many scenes.

   It is estimated that after the movie is finished, she may be pulled out as the focus of publicity.

  Even so, she is ready to continue, after all. She wants to rely on herself.

  She wants to prove herself!

  She can do well in Hollywood without someone!

   However, it turned out that she was overthinking.

  After seeing Annie's agreement, the casting director said bluntly that he asked her to go to the hotel at night to discuss the script.

  As soon as Annie heard it, she slammed the script in the casting director's face, turned around and left.

   As for the other party's disgusting appearance, she felt nauseous just looking at it.

  She was depressed for two days.

  Afterwards, Anne heard that the audition director was found in a certain black community in Los Angeles the next day.

   The situation is miserable, and it is said that one of his legs is broken.

  After Annie heard the news, there was silence for more than an hour.

  After going through this extremely unpleasant audition experience.

  Annie completely stopped thinking about auditioning for a role.

  Combined with her coming to Los Angeles for more than two months.

   Listening to friends in the circle like Heather and Julie, and some other gossips, I got some real situations in Hollywood.

  Anne understood.

  In Hollywood, there are never free opportunities.

  She herself is in Hollywood, except for Michael Levine and Abel, she has no connections or background.

   She had a small opportunity in New York before because of Michael Levine.

   After getting to know Abel, I got such a big opportunity for newcomers.

   These are not opportunities available to ordinary people.

  Ordinary people who get into Hollywood, if they want to get a chance, they have to give something.

   And even if you pay, you may not get a chance.

   South Hollywood below Beverly Hills, in the block of apartment buildings.

  I don't know how many beautiful or handsome boys and girls live there.

  There are some girls with looks and figures that sometimes even Annie herself feels inferior.

  But they can only live in those apartments, looking for opportunities everywhere in the actors' union and other places every day.

  Every week, they will at least once send themselves into a certain room in a certain hotel.

   In doing this and paying so much, they just want to get a chance.

   Even so, sometimes what you pay doesn't get you.

  Anne got it.

  In fact, these are the truths of Hollywood.

  She also understood how rare the opportunity Abel gave.

  Facing the harsh reality, the real Hollywood.

  She is smarter, but not smart enough, Anne who is still smart.

   After experiencing this blow.

   She came to her senses quickly.

  She realized that her previous fairytale encounters and stardom all went well.

   It's not because of my ability and appearance.

   But because of my own luck.

  First there is Michael Levin, a senior CAA senior agent who has a close relationship with her family.

  After that, there is Abel, a super good boyfriend.

   Only then did she have her present, a hard-won opportunity for ordinary people.

  For ordinary people, even for top Hollywood stars, material enjoyment and treatment are a bit unaffordable.

   All of this is just because of my relationship with Abel.

   To be precise, it was because of Abel.

  After thinking about it for a few days, Annie extinguished her unrealistic desire to have both free love and dreams.

  She started calling Abel unsolicited again.

  When Abel didn't contact her, he also put more thoughts on watching more movies and studying and trying to figure out his acting skills.

   During leisure and rest.

  She will also be happy to enjoy the Centurion Black Card and enjoy shopping.

   There are other super benefits that you can enjoy.

   Didn’t you see that Jessica Alba, who is also the "Smith Girl", has become the new Bond girl of "007"?

  This kind of thing has always been unattainable for Hollywood practitioners of their level.

  For her and Jessica, but came casually.

   And that Charlize Theron who is also "Smith Girl".

   It is said that she didn't even have an audition, and she directly became the heroine of "King of the World" James Cameron's latest super production.

   Such treatment, I don't know how many people in Hollywood are envious.

  But I was thinking about things, ridiculously thinking about free love.

  If only other women in Hollywood knew this.

   Annie thought.

   Those **** must laugh at themselves crazily.

  She decided to be obedient and listen to Abel with peace of mind.

  Thinking of this, Annie took the script in her hand and slapped her palm hard.

   "It's my luck to meet you, but it's also my misfortune!"

   she thought to herself.

  Thinking like this, she stood up, not so confused anymore.

  At least I won't do such a thing as stupidly looking for audition opportunities by myself again.

  Since Hollywood has such a thing as a red sofa.

  Obviously I already have the best red sofa.

  Then why look for another red sofa?

  The red sofa I got on is unique in the world!

  With such conditions in mind, he went to the actor's guild to find opportunities.

  Annie felt that she was the number one fool in the world!

   "Hi! Hi! Hi!"

  Annie, who was scolding herself for being stupid, suddenly heard an urgent and fast voice coming from the front.

  She raised her head and saw her good friend in the crew, the supporting role in "The Princess Diaries".

  Actress Heather, wearing her costume from the set, was running towards her at a fast pace.

   Heather ran and howled, looking very excited.

  Annie stood up holding the script, wondering why she was so excited.

   "What happened?" Annie stopped Heather from rushing over, almost falling down and chewing mud.

   "Annie! Annie! Annie! You you! You! You!"

   Heather looked very excited, her speech was incoherent, and she stuttered.

   "What's the matter?" Annie was curious.

  I saw Heather "bang bang", beat her chest twice, and spoke coherently under the pain.

   "The super-rich man on the Forbes list! Our American super-Smith! That rumored boyfriend of yours, Abel Smith, who is rumored to be with you, has come to our crew!"

  After hearing Heather's fast and urgent, but still able to hear clearly.

  Annie was taken aback for a moment, and then a surprise smile appeared on her face.

   "Annie, he came here specially to find you. Last time you told me that you don't have that kind of relationship. You are"

   It seems that chest beating really works for Heather.

  She had a bit of a stutter when she spoke just now, but now she speaks coherently.

   Unfortunately, coherence is useless.

   Before Heather finished speaking, she saw Anne Hathaway.

   At a super fast speed that Heather had never seen before, he ran to the place where Heather had just run.

   Heather froze for a moment, then realized, and ran to where she came from.

  While chasing Anne, she shouted from behind:

   "Wait for me, you haven't answered my question yet. Are you and him boyfriend and girlfriend?"

   Wait until Heather catches up with Anne Hathaway later.

  Heather has seen her, throwing herself into the arms of a tall and strong man.

   Still being hugged by a man.

  The pair of beautiful lips that Heather usually envies and envies.

   At this time, he is being chewed by a man.

   "Wow~" Heather whispered.

   Immediately, she was caught by Julie, another actor friend of Anne in the crew, to prevent her from "speaking wild words" below.

   "Don't talk nonsense." Julie whispered to Heather: "Annie's boyfriend is a big shot we can't afford!"

   Heather quickly responded and nodded gratefully.

   Mainly Anne Hathaway on weekdays.

  She enjoys all aspects of the crew, although her development is very out of specification.

   But her attitude has always been good.

  Whether it is when acting or when getting along with them, they are like ordinary people.

   This made Heather, who was a little overwhelmed, forget that this is Hollywood.

   Forget about Anne Hathaway who can afford these, Anne who has made the famous director Garry Marshall have to be polite.

  In fact, she is an actor in a different world from herself.

   Now reminded by Julie from England.

   Heather suddenly remembered that the one who was biting Anne Hathaway was the boss of MGM and CAA!

   A super rich man.

   After a long time, the lips of the two just parted.

  The head is still a little dizzy, Anne is excited and surprised.

  She suddenly noticed that there was a flashing light on the left.

   Having received paparazzi-related training, she suddenly woke up.

   Anne Hathaway immediately whispered:

   "Honey, you're here. I'm so happy. Someone seemed to be taking pictures of us just now. It doesn't matter if we were photographed like that just now?"

  Abel smiled at her and said, "It's okay, Edward will take care of it."

   When he said so.

  Annie has already seen Abel's security captain, leading a few people and walking quickly in the direction where the flashing lights just flashed.

   Then she heard her boyfriend say to director Garry Marshall, who was standing next to him smiling:

   "I remember your name seems to be Marshall, right?"

   "Yes, sir. I am Garry Marshall."

  Anne only felt at this time.

  Usually in the crew, except for myself.

   There has never been a director who is nice to anyone.

  At this moment, he is as gentle as the most ordinary waiter in a five-star hotel.

   "Hi Marshall. I'm here to visit Anne today. I'd like to ask her for a day off. Shouldn't it be a problem?"

   "Of course there is no problem, sir. Miss Hathaway's acting skills are very good, and her progress is the fastest. Let alone a day off, even a week is fine."

   "That doesn't need to be so much a week. But if that's the case, then Anne will take three days off."

   "No problem~"

   Just when Annie thinks Garry Marshall's attitude is really too good to be true.

  She heard another scream from the other side.

  Annie wanted to look over, but Abel pressed her head and was taken away with a smile.

  After the two left, at least a dozen bodyguards also left quickly.

  Besides the crew, there were only three people left on the scene.

  One is Lincoln, one of Abel's four bodyguards, King Kong, and there is another black man who is tall but looks like a gangster.

   And David Jones.

  I saw the black man who looked like a gangster, pushing a staff member of the crew to the ground.

  Lincoln is holding a video camera in his hand.

  He pulled out the negative film inside and looked at it, then took out the lighter and burned it directly.

  After burning the negatives, Lincoln smashed the expensive video camera directly on the ground, then jumped on it and stomped on it.

  While stepping on it, Lincoln looked at his crew with fear and anger around him and said:

   "What are you watching? Haven't you seen gangs seeking revenge? I'm Culriffin from "Pasadena Devil's Lane" in Los Angeles. This kid bought flour from us and gave fake money, and now we've caught him!"

  Hearing what Lincoln said, some of the onlookers wanted to say—

  【Madfake, didn't you follow that super rich man just now, didn't you come with the super rich man? 】

  【Why are you now a person from "Pasadena Devil's Alley"? 】

  But some locals in the crew know that there is such a gang in Los Angeles.

   The gang was in Pasadena, Los Angeles, and it was a mostly black gang.

   It is estimated that there are 3-4 hundred members, and it is also one of the powerful forces in the San Gabriel Valley.

   And it has a long history, it existed in the 1940s.

   Seeing Lincoln's fierce appearance, many people felt drums in their hearts.

  I think maybe this guy is really a member of the notorious "Pasadena Devil's Alley".

   On the other hand, David Jones approached director Garry Marshall.

   Once up, David said to Garry Marshall:

   "Hi, Mr. Marshall."

   “Peter Steyer, one of the camera assistants on The Princess Diaries.”

   “But he’s also a special correspondent for the Hollywood Joy Daily.”

   "He has been coming to "Princess Diaries" for a month, and the main purpose is not to work, but to lurk here."

   "Dear Mr. Marshall, do you understand what I mean?"

  Gary Marshall still doesn't understand.

   Beaten crew member Peter Steyer, it's true that he has a double identity.

   But being beaten like this today is probably because the crew secretly took too many photos related to Anne Hathaway.

   This guy was especially crazy just now.

   When Abel was making out with Anne Hathaway, he actually forgot to turn off the flash to shoot.

  That's why he was beaten up by some black guy from "Pasadena Devil's Alley".

"Yes sir."

  The situation is stronger than the people, not to mention that Garry Marshall is not familiar with Peter Steyer.

  Peter Steyer was none of his business getting beaten.

  Gary Marshall smiled and said:

   "I fully understand. Peter Steyer was fired by me this morning. Anything he does later has nothing to do with our crew!"

  David Jones smiles, this is also a smart guy.

   This saves David a lot of trouble.

  David smiled at Garry Marshall, and then the man in a black suit who gave off a shrewd and capable look left directly.

  The **** over there, hammered Garry Marshall for a few more minutes.

  Lincoln got a call behind him, and the poor and hateful Peter Steyer stopped screaming.

   "Oh oh oh ~ OK!"

  Everyone saw the so-called black Culriffin, and after answering the phone a few times.

   This fierce black man shouted at the onlookers of the crew:

   "Don't call the police right away? Call an ambulance at the same time? Do you really want to see him beaten to death by our "Pasadena Devil's Alley"?"

  His fierce appearance made the crew around him dare not even breathe.

   Mainly on this guy, wearing a set of body armor that looks brand new.

   There are two guns in the left and right pockets.

  One pair for one person,

  You can act like a group of elite gangster killers.

  In the crew, the director and producer did not speak again.

  The security personnel of the crew will only go up to find trouble if they are stupid.

  Your monthly salary is only three or four thousand yuan, what are you doing!

   Now that they saw this black man shouting so loudly, naturally no one dared to call the police.

  In addition, this probably has something to do with Peter Steyer, who is not familiar with most of the crew.

   Fortunately, at this moment, Garry Marshall stood up and softly ordered the assistant director:

   "Call the police, and call an ambulance by the way."

  The assistant director was stunned for a moment, instead of looking at Garry Marshall first, he looked at the fierce black man first.

  He still has a gun in his hand.

  What if you get glanced at while making a phone call?

  The assistant director saw the black man glaring at him, and said:

   "What are you looking at, hurry up and call the police!"

  The assistant director hurriedly called and called the police.

  Over there, after Lincoln confirmed that the call to the police was made.

  He just nodded to the other black man who pinned Peter Steyer to the ground.

   "Bro, I leave it to you. Don't worry, everything will be fine."

   "Hey~ what's this?" The black man said with a bit of rap: "I go in at least three or four times a year."

   "Dude, as long as you don't forget what you promised~ Don't worry, everything will be fine~"

  Lincoln made a gesture towards the black man, which is the special gangster gesture of "Pasadena Devil's Alley".

   Then one of the Big Four took one last look at Garry Marshall.

  The director smiled at him, Lincoln was stunned, and then smiled at him.

   Then turned around and walked away.

   More than an hour later.

  The police arrived.

  After Lincoln was gone, the black person who was idle was idle, and beat up Peter Steyer again.

   Immediately raised his hands high and surrendered.

   Then the ambulance came.

  Peter Steyer, who was given a severe lesson, finally got into the ambulance.

   It is Peter Steyr who has been beaten and can't speak clearly.

   When being carried into the ambulance by male nurses and doctors, he was struggling.

  Looks refusing to take the ambulance to the hospital.

   This scene fell in the eyes of the surrounding Americans, and everyone could understand it.

  In the United States, if you have no money to buy a good health insurance.

  Then it’s best not to take an ambulance even if you’re dying.

   Because of the bill afterwards, it may really scare you to death.
