Hollywood Road
Chapter 18
"Hello."
Unlike those people just now, Kara Firth just showed a polite smile, pointed to the next Murphy, and politely refused, "sorry, I have something to talk with my friend, I need a quiet space."
The tall black man was also polite. "May I have your name?"
As if she didn''t know this famous person in Los Angeles, Carla had a twinkle of impatience in her eyes, but she still said, "Carla Firth."
What else did the Negro want to say, but Carla Firth turned to Murphy and said, "honey, two sodas."
Murphy beckoned to the waiter standing on the beach, and when he came, he said, "two sodas, thank you."
After that, he took the initiative to open a chair and made a gesture of please. After Carla Firth sat down, he opened another chair and sat opposite her.
But the black man didn''t go, and he didn''t seem to give up.
Carla Firth is in a woman''s best age, tall and sexy, plus dress up, can really attract the attention of all normal men.
In many people''s impression, the purpose of the beautiful strange women on this occasion is not simple.
Compared with black people, Kara Firth, like Murphy, is undoubtedly a real nobody.
"Hello, Miss Carla Firth." The black man bent down and stretched out a hand, "I''m Kobe Bryant."
Carla Firth politely shook his hand. "Hello, Mr. Bryant."
She didn''t make any special remarks.
The black man was a little embarrassed. He turned to Murphy and said, "hello..."
Murphy reached out and said, "Hello, Murphy Stanton."
"Talk again when you have time." The black man was not stupid either. He took the initiative and said, "there are still friends waiting for me."
"Goodbye." Murphy waved to him.
Seeing the black man leave, Carla Firth looks at Murphy curiously. "He''s a hero in this city. You''re not excited to see him at all."
"Honey, I can''t even understand the steps of basketball..." Murphy shrugged. "How could you be interested in a basketball star?"
As a basketball blind, he just knows that Kobe Bryant is such a superstar, but if he can make a person who knows nothing about basketball remember his name, it is enough to show how terrible influence Kobe Bryant has in the world.
"And you? I can see that he''s very interested in you. " Murphy then asked Carla, "Why are you so unresponsive? He''s Kobe Bryant!"
Holding up the soda, Carla Firth took a sip and looked up at the starry night sky, giving a powerful reason, "I''m doing social news, not sports news."
"I''m not talking about work." Murphy raised her eyebrows. "Don''t you think he''s a good date?"
Carla Firth looked back at him. "Kobe Bryant is engaged. What do you think he''s looking for?"
This kind of answer is self-evident. In other words, whether the stars in sports or entertainment circles take the initiative to talk with beautiful women on this occasion, the purpose is very clear.
For this situation, Murphy is not surprised, the world''s stars are almost the same, regardless of men and women.
After a sip of soda water, he changed the topic on his own initiative. "Remember what I told you before, the two black people and the victim may be drug dealers. This is news that can be deeply explored."
Carla looked at him strangely. "You can give me a piece of news instead of selling it to me."
Murphy put on a kind expression, "we are good friends, we should help each other."
"Help each other?" Carla Firth''s eyes turned slightly up. "I won''t say thank you, because I''m not going to report on this in the near future."
"Why?" Murphy asked.
"It will weaken the impact of the bill road case."
A little organized under the language, Kara - FESS very seriously said, "now the black people continue to protest, nothing more than the last criminal in the case of not having the ability to resist, was shot by the white police. There is also a tacit understanding that the black people will not say, that is, the black criminals killed the rich white people, which will make the black people have a strange psychology. However, if two black people become drug dealers and the case turns into the internal conflagration of drug dealers, these psychological tacit understanding will be broken, so that the vigorous black movement in Los Angeles will quickly subside. "
In the face of Murphy, she did not hide, "we need continuous sensational news, not a calm and safe society."
Murphy nodded her head slightly, obviously agreed with Carla Firth, "we are not a government department, and once the black movement subsides, it will have a negative impact on our documentary."
A crime city full of violence, injustice, drugs, crime and racial discrimination is the theme of the documentary.If such documentaries want to get wide attention, they need to cooperate with the chaotic social situation.
However, the chaos brought about by the black movement in Los Angeles has no effect on this kind of high-end party. It''s always a place where the well-dressed men chat up the beautiful and sexy women, the women with exquisite makeup seduce the famous men, and even some famous gentlemen and ladies get together to enjoy marijuana and ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^.
Sex, alcohol, drugs and messy same-sex relationships are always the themes of this party.
Of course, there are a lot of self disciplined people at parties.
At least Murphy can see that many people, like him and Carla Firth, just regard the party as a stage to expand communication, and never get close to things that can ruin one''s future.
Murphy knows how to go, and knows that it''s never time to enjoy.
Now he should work hard, not because of these inexplicable things, stop their own pace of progress.
At the party, Murphy and Kara Firth got to know a lot of people and exchanged business cards with a lot of people. Although there were no big names among them, the social circle was established step by step.
In the twinkling of an eye, in the early hours of the morning, there is no trend that the party will go away. However, Murphy and Murphy are ready to leave. They have their own work to do tomorrow. It is impossible to spend a whole night in such a drunken situation. Just when they go to the Audi car to get on, Murphy suddenly stops Kara Firth.
"Look over there." Murphy indicated with his eyes that about fifty feet away from the left front, a black man was walking along the road with a beautiful woman in his arm. "Isn''t that the pursuit of your basketball star?"
The black man was Kobe Bryant, whom Murphy had met before. He was walking with a sexy young woman with red hair and looked very intimate.
Murphy''s eyes suddenly lit up and asked, "is that Kobe Bryant''s fiancee?"
Carla looked up and shook her head. "I don''t think so. I remember the media reported that Kobe Bryant''s fiancee is Latino. This red haired woman is obviously not Latino."
Looking at the two people walking together, Murphy suddenly remembered something in his head, vaguely remembering that this basketball superstar once made a stir because of this scandal. He left the party with this red haired woman, which should be more than just chatting, right?
During this period of working experience as a free journalist, Murphy''s certain abilities have been trained, and his professional sense of smell has been aroused instantly.
As the two men reached a Hummer, Murphy suddenly turned to Carla Firth, who opened the door to get into the driver''s seat. "Can I borrow your car for a while, honey?"
Carla was stunned first, then understood and frowned slightly. "Are you going to follow?"
Murphy didn''t speak, just shrugged.
After less than two seconds of thinking, Carla Firth closed the driver''s door and said, "I''m going back in someone else''s car with my Nikon D1 digital camera and telephoto lens in the trunk."
"Thank you." Murphy turned to the driver''s seat and said, "you solved the big problem for me."
He was going to find a chance to buy a telephoto camera.
Murphy is not surprised that Carla Firth has camera equipment in his car. He is a dedicated journalist. It''s normal to carry these tools with him.
"Murphy, he''s not an ordinary person. There are some things you can use for ordinary criminals," Kara Firth reminded when he opened the door. "You must be careful and careful with him."
Murphy nodded cautiously. "I''m not crazy yet. I know what to do."
Even if he can shoot something, Murphy will not sell it to tabloids directly. In the face of a superstar of Kobe Bryant''s level, he can''t do anything recklessly.
People who think they don''t need to worry about what they do are easy to be trampled to death on the way up.
Murphy is short of money. The dollar in his hand is just a drop in the bucket for the bottomless hole of making movies. He needs a way to make money and has done enough crazy things in the previous month, but he is facing ordinary people in a relative sense, not a superstar.
As a person who has come from the era of highly developed Internet, Murphy knows that a superstar is definitely not his own person, but the front desk spokesperson of a large number of forces, such as economic companies, teams, and advertising sponsors. If he really violates their bottom line, these forces can easily defeat him as an unknown little man.
Yes, it''s a great risk to keep up, but Murphy still has to do it, because this opportunity is as rare as last time, and this kind of thing can be solved within the scope of not violating the other party''s bottom line.
For the sake of original capital accumulation, this kind of risk is also worth a try.
Get in the driver''s seat and fasten your seat belt. Murphy gives a thumbs up to Kara Firth, who has been watching him all the time. After the Humvee on the front left starts and drives away, Murphy also starts the Audi car to follow him.With the experience of the last time, Murphy followed the Hummer not far or near. Although the car in front of him made a few rounds on purpose and seemed to want to get rid of the tail that might exist, he hung behind all the time.
