Chapter 170

Chapter 170 Unique red sofa

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

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

When it's sunny, you can even wear short-sleeved shirts at noon.

Other times, you just need to wear a short vest, T-shirt, thin jeans, and one-layer cotton and linen pants to be able to hold it.

In addition, November is also the dry season in Los Angeles. No need to worry about sudden rains.

This type of temperature and weather is comparable to New York, which has experienced snowstorms.

It's really much better.

Day 16.

The cast of "The Princess Diaries" Anne Hathaway has temporarily finished filming their own scenes. She was holding a script and was stunned.

Nearly a month later, Annie and Abel happily played in Los Angeles for two days.

She hasn't seen her boyfriend in a month.

But then it's in the press and entertainment news on some TV channels.

She can see her boyfriend every day. But the boyfriend she met in a place like this made her depressed.

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

When Abel appeared with Charlize Theron, a second-rate Hollywood actress.

Annie finally couldn't take it anymore.

Anne at that time, after hesitating for two or three days. She called her boyfriend.

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

Abel smiled and replied 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 backyard!"

"This company is a startup with no reputation."

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

"This could improve their social status and allow them to earn a little extra money when they find a job."

"Therefore, my business will be able to make more money."

"Annie, you know, they're fake."

"You're my girlfriend, you should understand me!"

Anne didn't know if she could understand.

But over the phone, she still said she understood. I already said it but the result was the next day.

The woman who delivered the news with Abel was replaced by someone else.

The women are different, but they have beautiful young looks, good figures, and seem intimate with Abel in the media.

it's exactly the same

After Annie saw it, she could only comfort herself. They are Abel, using their own reputation.

Promote these contracted people in his company, which can bring him more benefits.

She was comforting herself like that, maybe it would make her feel better.

But it's only slightly better.

You can rely on your own abilities to get admitted to a good university like New York University. Annie's fault is that her IQ is really not low.

Over time, Abel's information did not decrease at all.

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

In less than a month, he appeared with Abel.

A woman maintains a close, even somewhat ambiguous relationship with him. There are sixteen in total.

These sixteen women include Hollywood actresses, idols of youth television series, and famous models.

Even New York socialites!

Each of them is very handsome and has a great body.

With an inexplicable mentality, Anne gradually called every day or two.

This resulted in not calling Abel for three or four days. However, Abel didn't even call her.

Annie is a bit frustrated, she is a bit smart.

She is inexperienced and doesn't have much ambition.

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

Therefore, when the movie The Princess Diary was 2/3 done, she started to have relatively free time. Last week, she secretly visited the Screen Actors Guild.

She received the script for a movie with an investment budget of about tens of millions of dollars.

She received the audition invitation very easily.

I said it was the main role but I didn't know that until Annie left, it was just a small supporting role.

Everyone knows Anne Hathaway, one of the "Smith girls." Its most spectacular period is over. But compared to normal stars, they still enjoy a certain level of popularity.

Even if she doesn't have a famous work yet.

Seeing her being so proactive, the other person thought it was useless.

I'm thinking of changing his name for free, using it to increase the film's popularity. gave her, who was previously unknown in Hollywood, a chance to audition.

It was just a small supporting role, not important and didn't have many scenes.

It is estimated that after the film is completed, she may become the focus of public opinion.

However, through it all, she is still ready to move on. She wants to rely on herself. She wants to prove herself!

She can succeed in Hollywood without anyone!

However, it turned out she was thinking too much.

After seeing Annie's agreement, the casting director frankly said that he asked her to come to the hotel that evening to discuss the script.

As soon as Annie finished listening, she slapped the script in the casting director's face, turned around and left.

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

She was depressed for two days. Then Anne learned that the next day the audition director had been found in some black community in Los Angeles.

Circumstances were miserable and it was said that he had a broken leg.

After Annie heard the news, everyone was silent for more than an hour.

After going through this extremely unpleasant listening experience.

Annie completely stopped thinking about auditioning. Plus he went to Los Angeles for over two months.

By listening to industry friends like Heather and Julie, as well as some other gossip, I learned about real-life situations in Hollywood.

Anne understood.

In Hollywood there is never a free chance.

She herself is in Hollywood, except for Michael Levine and Abel, she has no connections or background. She previously had a small opportunity in New York thanks to Michael Levine.

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

This is not an opportunity for ordinary people.

Ordinary people come to Hollywood and if they want a chance, they have to contribute something.

And even if you pay, you may not stand a chance. South Hollywood, below Beverly Hills, in an apartment building.

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

There are girls with looks and physiques that sometimes Annie herself feels self-conscious about.

But they can only live in these apartments, looking for opportunities everywhere in the actor's guild and other places every day.

Each week, they will be taken to a certain room in a certain hotel at least once. By doing this and paying this much money, they just want a chance.

Even so, sometimes you don't get what you pay for.

Anne understood that.

In fact, these are the truths of Hollywood.

She also understands how rare the opportunity Abel offers is. Face the harsh reality, the real Hollywood.

She's smarter, but still not smart enough, Anne is still the same.

After experiencing this strong blow.

She quickly regained consciousness.

She realizes that her previous fairy tale encounters and fame have gone well. It's not because of my abilities and appearance.

But thanks to my own luck.

First is Michael Levin, a high-ranking CAA agent who maintains a close relationship with his family.

Then there's Abel, a really good friend.

Only then did she receive her gift, an opportunity that was difficult for ordinary people to get. For ordinary people, even for Hollywood's biggest stars, material enjoyment and treatment are unacceptable.

It's all because of my relationship with Abel.

To be more precise, it was because of Abel.

After thinking for a few days, Annie extinguished her unrealistic desire to have both free love and the dream of freedom.

She begins calling Abel again without being asked. When Abel didn't contact her, he also thought more about watching more movies, studying, and trying to explore his acting abilities.

During leisure and rest.

She will also be happy to take advantage of the Centurion Black Card and go shopping.

There are other great benefits you can enjoy.

Haven't you seen that Jessica Alba, also a "Smith Girl", has become the new Bond girl of "007"? Things like this have always been inaccessible to Hollywood practitioners at their level.

For her and Jessica, but it happened by accident.

And this Charlize Theron is also a "Smith Girl".

It is said that she did not even attend the audition but directly became the female lead in James Cameron's latest masterpiece "King of the World".

With such treatment, I wonder how many people in Hollywood are jealous. But I'm thinking about many things, I'm thinking ridiculously about free love.

If only other women in Hollywood knew this.

Annie thought.

These bastards were definitely laughing at themselves.

She decided to be obedient and listen to Abel with peace of mind. Thinking of this, Annie took the script in her hand and patted it firmly on his palm.

"Meeting you is my luck but also my misfortune!"

she thought.

Thinking so, she stood up, no longer confused.

At least I won't stupidly look for audition opportunities on my own anymore.

Because Hollywood has a red sofa. Obviously I already have the most beautiful red sofa.

So why look for another red sofa?

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

In such conditions, he went to the actors' association to find opportunities.

Annie feels like the number one idiot in the world!

"Hello Hello Hello!"

Annie was blaming herself for being stupid when she suddenly heard an urgent and urgent voice coming from the front.

She looked up and saw her good friend on the team, the supporting role in "The Princess Diaries". Actress Heather, wearing her outfit from the photo shoot, was running towards her at a fast speed.

Heather ran and shouted, looking very excited.

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

"What happened?" Annie stopped Heather from rushing forward, nearly falling and chewing the mud.

"Annie! Annie! Annie! Your friend! You! You!"

Heather looked very excited, her speech was incoherent and she stuttered. "What is the problem?" Annie was curious.

I saw Heather go "bang bang", hit my chest twice and speak coherently in pain.

"The super rich man on the Forbes list! Our American super blacksmith! Your boyfriend, Abel Smith, who is rumored to be with you, has come to our team!!"

After Heather finished listening, even though it was fast and urgent, she could still hear clearly.

Annie was stunned for a moment, then a surprised smile appeared on her face.

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

Looks like the boob shots really worked for Heather.

Just now she stammered a bit, but now she speaks very coherently.

Unfortunately, consistency is useless.

Before Heather could finish speaking, she saw Anne Hathaway. With super fast speed that Heather had never seen before, he ran towards the direction Heather had just run.

Heather was stunned for a moment then realized and ran back 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 for Heather to catch up with Anne Hathaway later.

Heather saw herself throw herself into the arms of a tall, strong man. Always being hugged tightly by a man.

Beautiful lips that Heather often envied and envied.

At this time, he was chewed by a man.

"Wow~" Heather whispered.

Immediately, she was caught by Julie, another actress, Anne's friend in the crew, to prevent her from "uttering stupid words" below. "No nonsense talk." Julie whispered to Heather, "Annie's boyfriend is a big guy we can't afford!"

Heather responded quickly and nodded gratefully.

Mostly Anne Hathaway during the week.

She appreciates every aspect of the crew, even if their development is unconventional.

But his attitude is always good.

Whether it's fun or sociable with them, they are just like normal people. This made Heather a bit stunned, forgetting that this was Hollywood.

Forget Anne Hathaway, who could afford it, Anne, who forced famous director Garry Marshall to be polite.

In fact, she is an actress in a different world from her own.

Now remembered by Julie from England.

Heather suddenly remembered that the person who bit Anne Hathaway was the head of MGM and CAA!

A super rich man. After a long time, their lips separated.

Still a bit dizzy, Anne was both happy and surprised.

She suddenly noticed a flashing light to her left.

After receiving paparazzi training, she suddenly regained consciousness.

Anne Hathaway immediately whispered:

"Honey, are you here? I'm very happy. It looked like someone had just taken a photo of us. Is it okay for us to be photographed like that just now?"

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

When he said that.

Annie saw Abel's security captain leading a few people walking quickly towards the place where the flashing light had just flashed.

She then 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. My name is Garry Marshall."

Anne just felt in that moment.

Usually in the crew, except me.

There has never been a director who was kind to anyone.

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

"Hello Marshall. Today I came here to visit Anne. I want to ask him for a day off. Is this a problem? »

"Of course there's no problem, sir. Ms. Hathaway's acting skills are very good, her progress is the fastest. Not to mention a day off, even a week is good."

"It doesn't have to be that many every week. But if so, Anne will take three days off."

"It's okay~"

Just when Annie thought that Garry Marshall's attitude was actually too good to be true.

She heard another scream coming from the other side.

Annie wanted to watch, but Abel held her head and took her away with a smile.

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

Besides the crew, there were only three people left at the scene. One was Lincoln, one of Abel's four bodyguards, King Kong, and there was another black man who was tall but looked like a gangster.

And David Jones.

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

Lincoln holds a video camera in his hand.

He took out the negative film inside to examine it, then took out a lighter and burned it directly. After burning the negative film rolls, Lincoln slammed the expensive camera onto the floor, then jumped up and stomped on it.

Stepping up, Lincoln looked at his crew with fear and anger and said:

"What are you looking at? Haven't you seen the gangsters looking for revenge? My name is Culriffin from "Pasadena Devil's Lane" in Los Angeles. This kid bought us flour with fake money, and now we have caught it!!"

Listening to Lincoln speak, some viewers wanted to say:

Madfake, just now you didn't go with the super rich, didn't you go with the super rich? ]

Why are you now a "Pasadena Devil's Alley" person? ]

But some members of the team knew that there was such a gang in Los Angeles.

This gang is in Pasadena, Los Angeles and is primarily a black gang.

It is estimated to have three to four hundred members and is also one of the powerful forces in the San Gabriel Valley.

And it has a long history, it has existed since the 1940s. Seeing Lincoln's fierce appearance, many people felt empty inside.

I think this guy might actually be a member of the famous "Pasadena Devil's Alley".

For his part, David Jones contacted director Garry Marshall.

Once, David told Garry Marshall:

"Hello, Mr. Marshall."

"Peter Steyer, one of the assistant cameramen on The Princess Diaries."

"But he's also a special correspondent for Hollywood Joy Daily."

"He has been coming to "Princess Diary" for a month, his main purpose is not to work, but to hide here."

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

Gary Marshall still doesn't understand.

Peter Steyer, his defeated comrade, certainly had two identities. 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 dating Anne Hathaway, he actually forgot to turn off the flash when taking pictures.

That's why he got beaten up by a black guy from Pasadena Devil's Alley.

"Yes sir."

The situation is stronger than people, not to mention Garry Marshall doesn't know Peter Steyer. Peter Steyer doesn't need to take the beating.

Gary Marshall smiled and said:

"I understand completely. I fired Peter Steyer this morning. Whatever he does in the future has nothing to do with our crew!"

David Jones smiled, he was also a smart guy.

This helps David avoid a lot of trouble. David smiled at Garry Marshall, then the man in the black suit who exuded intelligence and proficiency left directly.

That bastard over there pounded Garry Marshall for a few more minutes.

Lincoln gets a call from behind, and poor, obnoxious Peter Steyer stops screaming.

"Oh oh oh ~ Okay!"

Everyone saw the so-called black Culriffin and after answering the phone several times.

This fierce black man shouted to the group's audience:

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

His fierce appearance made those around him not even dare to breathe.

It's mostly about this guy, wearing a bulletproof vest that looks brand new.

There are two pistols in the left and right pockets.

One pair for one person,

You can operate as a group of elite gangster assassins. In the crew, the director and producer no longer spoke up.

The crew's security staff will only look for trouble if they are stupid.

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

Now seeing this black man screaming so loudly, naturally no one dares to call the police.

Plus, it could have something to do with Peter Steyer, who doesn't know most of the crew.

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

"By the way, call the police and call an ambulance."

The assistant director was stunned for a moment. Instead of looking at Garry Marshall first, he looked at the aggressive black man. He always has a gun in his hand.

What if someone looks at you while on the phone?

The deputy director saw the black man looking at him and immediately said:

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

The deputy director hurriedly called and called the police.

There, after Lincoln confirmed that the police call had been made.

He just nodded at the other black man who had pinned Peter Steyer to the ground. "Brother, I leave it to you. Don't worry, everything will be fine."

"Hey~ what is this?" The black man said with a slightly hoarse voice, "I go there 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 gestured toward the black man, which was a distinctive gangster gesture in "Pasadena Devil's Alley".

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

The director smiled at him, Lincoln was taken aback, then smiled at him.

Then I turned around and left. More than an hour later.

The police have arrived.

After Lincoln left, the inactive black remained inactive and struck Peter Steyer again.

Immediately raised his hands in surrender.

Then the ambulance arrived. Peter Steyer, who received a harsh lesson, finally got into the ambulance.

Peter Steyr himself was beaten and could not speak clearly.

When the nurses and doctors carried him to the ambulance, he struggled a lot.

He apparently refused to take an ambulance to the hospital.

This scene caught the eyes of the surrounding Americans, everyone could understand. In the United States, if you don't have the money to buy good health insurance.

So it's better not to take an ambulance even if you are about to die.

Because of the bill afterwards, it can really scare you.
