When I got home, Murphy didn''t feel sleepy. She turned on her laptop and took the car police receiver from the car. She looked at the instructions stored on the computer and the police code of the Los Angeles police.

    The memory left by the former Murphy tells him that it is an indispensable tool to make money through the industry of free journalists.

    In case of emergency, this police receiver can capture every public contact of the Los Angeles police.

    For example, in the car accident last night, if someone called the police at that time, the police control platform would contact the nearest police by calling the car receiver, so that they could arrive at the scene as soon as possible.

    With this police receiver, Murphy can receive similar messages, choose the type he wants, and then rush to shoot.

    However, the police often use code, and people who don''t understand can''t understand it at all.

    The former is also a conscientious person. The laptop records in detail the type of LAPD code and the meaning it represents.

    For example, 148 represents resisting arrest, 187 represents murder, 211 represents armed robbery and so on

    After reading the police code and studying the usage of the police receiver, Murphy finally went to another room to sleep.

    After half an afternoon''s sleep, Murphy went downstairs to buy some snacks to solve the problem of eating. After that, Murphy went back to the old building, sat in front of the laptop, and focused on tapping the keyboard to continue to improve the script that had been written for a long time.

    Even if he knew that the possibility of selling a new play was infinitely low, Murphy did not give up hope.

    In the following half a month or so, Murphy quit her job in a garage. Her life was divided into two parts. After dinner, she drove off with a portable video camera and a police receiver, and circled around West Hollywood, Beverly Hills and Santa Monica, looking for any valuable news clues. As long as she got useful information from the police receiver, she would go as fast as possible Murphy''s familiarity with the whole Los Angeles area played an extremely important role in the shooting.

    On the other hand, after returning to the dilapidated apartment in the early morning, Murphy will sleep first, get up in the afternoon, perfect the script or check the public recruitment ads, and never miss any chance to really get into Hollywood.

    Murphy''s work and life in the past ten days have been much smoother than before. He has shot nearly 20 videos of car accidents, fires, fights and so on. Most of them have been sold to channel 6 of fox Los Angeles local station.

    In particular, he was lucky enough to shoot a video of Madonna sikoney''s date with British director Guy Ritchie in West Hollywood. He was introduced by Carla and sold it to Fox''s entertainment channel, earning a full 3000 dollars.

    With a relatively stable source of income, what Murphy did first of all was to repay the debt, return the car, the borrowed mobile phone and dollars to Ross, and then bought corresponding substitutes for himself from the second-hand market, especially the second-hand Ford car. He specially refitted a bracket on the co driver''s seat to place a camera, so that he could take pictures while driving Photo.

    And then he printed several copies of the two scripts and mailed them to six major Hollywood companies and ten other major and minor film companies and studios. As a result, there was no accident and no reply was received.

    In addition, Murphy also went to a lot of troupes for interviews, which were not ideal. He made a British director''s head go wrong and had criminal record, which made these troupes dare not use him easily.

    After nearly a month out of prison, Murphy has successfully solved the basic survival problem, but entering Hollywood is still in the dream level.

    In August, Los Angeles is dry and hot. Even if the sun has turned to the sea, the temperature is still high. Murphy parks his car beside the coastal avenue of Santa Monica, and the sea breeze blows in from the open window, bringing a rare bit of coolness.

    Looking at the time, Murphy took the phone and dialed a number again.

    "Hello..."

    Unlike the busy tone ten minutes ago, there was a formulaic voice: "this is the editorial department of 20th century fox."

    "Excuse me, I''m a screenwriter." Murphy said as simply as possible, "my name is Murphy Stanton, and I''m a screenwriter. I''ve sent a script to your company, and I want to ask you about the results of your review."

    "Thank you for your support for 20th century fox."

    The voice in the receiver was very polite and calm. "Sir, we''ll get in touch with you after we''ve read your script."

    What else did Murphy want to say? The other side politely said a few more words, and then hung up.

    "Again!"

    When the mobile phone was thrown into the co driver''s seat, Murphy was somewhat unhappy. "Why are all the film companies like this?"

    The person just now didn''t even ask the name of the script he delivered!

    One day today, Murphy, who was waiting for him recently, called many movie companies and got the same answers as just now. The people who answered the phone were very polite and their words were like routine.Looking at the sun approaching the sea level in the west, Murphy sighed. He was basically sure that the way to deliver the script was very unreliable. The chance that the new script would be launched would not be greater than the millions of dollars he won in the lottery.

    There are no contacts, no money, no fame, no capital to take. Even people with their own special experience want to shine in Hollywood''s extremely realistic circle in a short time, the difficulty can''t be described by epic level.

    A new script, attracted countless people and companies competing, there is more ridiculous joke than this?

    At this point, Murphy basically gave up the idea of relying on the script to achieve rapid success, and the idea of moving forward step by step is becoming more and more firm.

    It''s just as easy for the police to go back to the sea to pick up the information from the sun. It''s not as valuable for the police to use the signal from dark weather to dark weather.

    Starting the car, Murphy drove to the valley of Santa Monica. The public order in the United States was really bad, but it was in the downtown areas, such as the rich elite gathering areas of Santa Monica and West Hollywood. The police attached much more importance to it and arranged a much better police force than the Latin community or the black community.

    The public security in the rich areas is getting better and better, and the public security in the slums is getting worse and worse. This is the cognition of Murphy through field experience.

    But unless there are large-scale fires or serial murders in the slums, the news there is not of much value. The general public likes to see the unfortunate anti elite culture and psychology of the elite or the rich. In North America, it is the same as any other country in the world.

    However, the public security in the rich areas is getting better, which makes such news appear less and less on TV, but also highlights the value of Murphy''s work. After all, only scarcity can sell at a high price.

    Since the first video was sold, Murphy spent most of his working time in the rich areas relatively close to the seaside and the valley. Even if there was an emergency in the city center, he seldom made it.

    The Ford car ran east along seventh street of Santa Monica. Murphy''s eyes were fixed on the front, and his ears kept catching every sound from the police receiver. Maybe he had run out of good luck recently. Until he went around Santa Monica, there was no news worth shooting.

    The night is getting darker and darker. This is the bustling Santa Monica. Instead of reducing the traffic flow on the street, there is an increasing trend. Murphy goes out of his way to the streets full of bars and nightclubs, hoping to be lucky to meet the drunkenness and mischief of Hollywood stars.

    Although Santa Monica is the home of many Hollywood stars, such a good thing can''t happen every day. Murphy turned around without any harvest, so she had to leave here to try her luck in Santa Monica valley.

    Santa Monica Valley is inhabited by people with a lot of wealth. People who are engaged in Murphy''s profession, if they want to buy the real estate here, don''t even think about it in the short term.

    Murphy drove slowly along the road. The whole valley was very quiet. Ordinary people would like the silence here, but he would not.

    "Let''s do something, even if it''s burglary."

    Controlling the steering wheel, Murphy kept talking to himself in the car, hoping that there would be some accidents or violence in this quiet residential area, so that he could take some valuable pictures and at least earn back the oil money tonight.

    With the purchase of this second-hand Ford, the cost of refitting the co driver''s camera bracket and finding a lawyer for himself, Murphy actually doesn''t have much money. If he is poor, he has short ambition. In such a situation, the most urgent thing is to make a quick profit and avoid sitting on empty feet.

    On the contrary, when we were about to drive out of the Santa Monica Valley, the police receiver didn''t give us any valuable clues. On the contrary, a vehicle in West Hollywood hit a street lamp, and the police command desk summoned the nearby police car to hurry over.

    Murphy can''t help stepping on the accelerator and preparing for the past. After all, it''s not far away. If it''s over in time, we may get some valuable pictures. At least we can get some oil money back.

    Just as Murphy stepped on the accelerator and the car was speeding up, the police receiver on the car suddenly rang out a hasty female voice.

    "All units in Santa Monica, residential building 17 bill Road, valley, 211! Repeat, this is 211... "

    Hearing this, Murphy didn''t even think about it. He immediately stepped on the brake, turned around, and the car rushed to the road at a much faster speed than before.

    Bill road is not far from the main road he is driving, only three intersections.

    Ford car is like a black lightning. Murphy is not only energetic, but also excited.

    211 means armed robbery. If he remembers correctly, there are very rich people living near bill road in the valley.

    What''s the price of the news of armed robbery against extremely rich people?
