Hollywood Road

Chapter 18 Risks and Opportunities

"Hello."

Unlike those people just now, Carla Feith just showed a polite smile, pointed at Murphy next to him, and politely refused, "Sorry, I have something to talk about with my friend and need a quiet space. "

The tall black man was also polite, "Can I know your name?"

As if he didn't know this famous person in the Los Angeles area, Carla's eyes flashed with impatience, but she still said, "Carla Faith."

The black man wanted to say something, but Carla Faith turned to Murphy and said, "Honey, let's have two glasses of soda."

Murphy waved to the waiter standing by the beach, and after waiting for the other party to come over, he said, "Two glasses of soda, thank you."

After he finished speaking, he took the initiative to pull out a chair, made a gesture of please, and after Carla-Fith sat down, he pulled out another chair and sat opposite her.

The black man didn't leave, and he didn't seem to give up.

Carla Firth is in a woman's best age, tall and sexy, plus she's dressed up to really catch the eye of any normal man.

In many people's impressions, the beautiful and strange women who appear on such occasions are generally not pure in purpose.

Compared to black people, Carla Firth, like Murphy, is undoubtedly a real little person.

"Hello, Miss Carla Faith." The black man bent down and stretched out a hand, "I'm Kobe Bryant."

Carla Firth shook his hand politely, "Hello, Mr. Bryant."

She didn't say anything special.

The black man was somewhat embarrassed and turned to look at Murphy next to him, "Hello..."

Murphy reached out, "Hello, Murphy Stanton."

"Let's talk when we have time." The black man was not stupid and took the initiative to leave. "There are still friends waiting for me."

"Goodbye." Murphy waved at him.

Seeing the black man leave, Carla Firth looked at Murphy curiously, "He's a hero in this city, how come you're not excited at all to see him."

"Honey, I don't even understand how basketball moves..." Murphy shrugged, "How can you be interested in a basketball star."

As a basketball blind, he only knows that there is such a superstar as Kobe Bryant, but making a person who knows nothing about basketball remember the name is enough to show how terrifying Kobe Bryant has in the world. Influence.

"What about you? It's obvious that he's very interested in you." Murphy turned to Kara, "Why did you react so flatly, he's Kobe Bryant!"

Picking up the soda, Carla Firth took a sip, looked up at the starry night sky, and gave a strong reason, "I'm doing social current affairs news, not sports news."

"I'm not talking about work." Murphy raised an eyebrow. "Don't you think he's a good person to associate with?"

Kara Firth looked back and glanced at him, "Kobe Bryant is engaged, what do you think he's here for?"

This kind of answer is self-evident. Having said that, whether stars in the sports or entertainment circles take the initiative to talk to beautiful women on such occasions, the purpose is very clear.

Murphy is not surprised by this situation. The stars all over the world are actually similar, regardless of gender.

After taking a sip of soda, he took the initiative to change the subject, "Remember what I told you before, the two black people and the victim may both be drug dealers. This is news that can be deeply digged into."

Carla looked at him strangely, "You can send me a piece of news on your own initiative, instead of selling it to me."

Murphy put on an affectionate expression, "We are good friends, we should help each other."

"Help each other?" Carla-Fith rolled her eyes slightly,

"I won't say thank you because I don't plan to report on this in the short term."

"Why?" Murphy asked.

"It would reduce the impact of the Beale Road case."

After organizing the language a little bit, Carla Firth said seriously, "Now the black people are constantly protesting, it is nothing more than the last criminal who was shot and killed by the white policeman without the ability to resist. There is another black person who can't speak. The tacit understanding is that black criminals kill rich white people, which will make black people have a strange psychology, but if two black people become drug dealers, and the case becomes a fire among drug dealers, these psychological tacit understandings will be broken. As a result, the vigorous black movement in the Los Angeles area quickly subsided."

Facing Murphy, she made no secret of, "We need continuous sensational news, not a calm and safe society."

Murphy nodded lightly, obviously agreeing with Carla Firth's statement, "We are not a government department, and once the black movement subsides, it will have a negative impact on the documentary."

A sin capital full of violence, injustice, drugs, crime and racism is the subject of the documentary.

If such a documentary wants to gain widespread attention, it needs to be matched by a chaotic social situation.

However, the chaos brought about by the black movement in Los Angeles has not affected this kind of high-end party in the slightest. It is always drunk here, well-dressed men chat up beautiful and sexy women, women with exquisite makeup seduce famous men, and even have some reputation Brilliant gentlemen and ladies, get together to enjoy marijuana and ******.

Sex, alcohol, drugs, and messy same-sex relationships will always be timeless themes of this party.

Of course, there are also many self-disciplined people at the party.

At least Murphy can see that many people, like him and Carla Firth, just use the party as a stage to expand their communication, and don't get close to those things that can ruin a person's future.

Murphy knew how to go, and knew that there was absolutely no time to enjoy it.

Today, he should work hard and not stop his progress because of these inexplicable things.

At the party, Murphy and Carla Faith got to know many people and exchanged business cards with many people. Although there were no big people among them, the social circle was established step by step in this way.

In the early hours of the morning, the party did not tend to disperse at all, but the two Murphys were about to leave. They still have their own work to do tomorrow. When the Audi car was about to get into the car, Murphy suddenly stopped Carla Faith.

"Look over there." Murphy gestured with his eyes to the front left, about fifty feet away, a black man was walking by the side of the road holding a beautiful woman, "Isn't that a basketball star who wants to pursue you? "

The black man was the Kobe Bryant that Murphy had seen before, walking with a young, sexy red-haired woman who looked intimate.

Murphy's eyes suddenly lit up and asked, "Is that Kobe Bryant's fiancee?"

Carla looked up, shook her head and said, "It shouldn't be, I remember the media reported that Kobe Bryant's fiancee was a Latino, and this red-haired woman is obviously not a Latina."

Looking at the two people walking together, Murphy suddenly thought of something, vaguely remembering that the basketball superstar once made a lot of noise because of this scandal. He left the party with this red-haired woman, it should be more than just Is it so easy to chat?

During this period of freelance journalistic experience, some of Murphy's abilities have been exercised, and the professional sense of smell has been aroused in an instant.

Seeing that the two walked to a Hummer, Murphy suddenly turned his head and said to Carla Firth, who opened the door to get into the driver's seat, "Can I borrow your car temporarily, dear."

Cara was stunned for a moment, then she understood and frowned slightly, "Are you going to follow?"

Murphy didn't speak, just shrugged.

After thinking about it for less than two seconds, Carla-Fith closed the driver's door, "I'm going back to someone else's car. I have my Nikon D1 digital camera and telephoto lens in the trunk of the car."

"Thank you." Murphy turned to the driver's seat. "You helped me solve a big problem."

Originally, he planned to find an opportunity to buy a telephoto camera now.

Carla Firth had camera equipment in the car, and Murphy was not surprised. The other party was a dedicated journalist, and it was normal to carry these tools in the car.

"Murphy, he's not an ordinary person. There are some things you can use on ordinary murderers," Carla Feith reminded when she saw Murphy open the door. "You must be cautious and careful with him."

Murphy nodded cautiously, "I'm not crazy yet, I know what to do."

Even if he can shoot anything, Murphy will not sell it directly to the tabloids. In the face of a superstar of Kobe Bryant's level, some things must not be done recklessly.

The kind of person who thinks that he doesn't need to worry about doing anything can easily be trampled to death on the way up.

Murphy lacks funds, and the dollars in his hand are only a drop in the bucket for the bottomless pit of filming. He needs a way to make money, and he has done enough crazy things in the previous month, but he is faced with relative meaning. The average person on the board, not a superstar.

As a person who came from the era of highly developed Internet, Murphy knows that the superstar is definitely not himself, but the front-end spokesperson of a large number of forces from economic companies to teams to advertising sponsors. If they violated their bottom line, these forces can easily defeat an unknown little guy like him.

Yes, it is very risky to keep up, but Murphy still has to do it, because such an opportunity is as rare as the last time, and there are ways to solve this kind of thing without violating the opponent's bottom line.

For raw capital accumulation, such a risk is also worth taking.

Sitting in the driver's seat, fastened his seatbelt, Murphy gave a thumbs up to Carla Firth, who had been watching him outside, and after the Humvee in the front left started to drive away, he also started the Audi sedan to follow.

With the last experience, Murphy followed the Hummer not far or near, although the car in front deliberately circled a few times, as if trying to get rid of the possible tail, he kept hanging behind.
