Chapter 51 A Chance Encounter in Hollywood
Recently, Marco either soaks his feet or goes to Chinatown for massage all day long.

Marco seemed to want to enjoy all the grievances he suffered some time ago, and Tao Xi also satisfied him one by one. After all, Marco only spent 20 dollars a day.

Recently, some Taoxi who can't be idle are going all over Los Angeles to see the hot dog shops bought by Nilta.

In fact, Tao Xi did not want to rest.

When he saw Brother Neil spending money like water every day, Tao Xi suddenly felt a little uneasy.

Although the money comes quickly, it is also spent quickly.

Tausi is very worried about what to do if one day his money runs out and he can't make any money, although [Neil Brothers Hot Dog Fast Food Restaurant] has officially opened 15 newsstands at a very fast speed recently.

However, except for the store in the US-Australia community, the rest of the stores have just been open for a month, and Tao Xi doesn’t know whether they can make money, and according to Nilta, some stores even took over after they took over. When you start losing money!
For example, the newsstand at the intersection of Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood that appeared in front of Tao Xi.

His person in charge is a recidivist who came out of Prison 86 in Los Angeles. His name is Isa River. Although it seems to be a very common name, if you underestimate him, maybe your home will be ransacked at night. He'll also drive away with your new car.

"Tao Xi, it's not that I didn't work hard enough, but there are really too many cars around here." Isa River explained to Tao Xi with a sad face like a little girl.

If it wasn't for the deep scar on his face that was cut from the corner of his eye to the corner of his mouth, maybe Tao Xi would really feel sorry for him.

Because the transportation from Hollywood to Los Angeles County is not very convenient, there are a lot of cars on Sunset Boulevard, and the location here is absolutely perfect at a glance!

But if you look carefully, because the location of this kiosk is located at the intersection of Sunset Boulevard, it is difficult to park here.

If someone wants to buy a newspaper or a hot dog, they have to park on the side of the road and cross the dangerous road to reach the hot dog shop sandwiched between the north and south roads.

Coupled with the ferocious expression on the face of the habitual offender Issa River, it is only a ghost that the business can do well!
"Nilta, let's talk about the questions one by one. How much did we spend to buy this store?"

Nilta looked at this store with an excellent location but a very deserted business and said embarrassingly: "3 dollars, this is the most expensive store, I feel like I was cheated by that Jew."

"Don't feel it, you've just been tricked!" Tao Xi looked around the surrounding environment and said angrily.

Tao Xi looked around and pointed to the open motel and parking lot opposite the hot dog shop and said to Nilta: "Go and find out if the parking lot opposite is for sale, and then put it on each of our newsstands. They all add a signboard like KFC."

"Hmm~"

"The slogan is [Eat, drink, read newspapers and find Neil's hot dog shop]!"

Nierta stood opposite Tao Xi and did not move for a long time. Tao Xi waved his hand helplessly when he saw Nierta's face: "Go, go, go, don't save the money that should be spent, I don't want my money." Thirty thousand dollars in vain."

Tao Xi, who left here with his hands behind his back, walked slowly into Hollywood.

At the end of Sunset Boulevard on the left is a straight concrete road leading to Hollywood, and on the right is an asphalt road. If you follow this asphalt road, you can reach Fernando Valley, the ideal place for all men in the United States.

For all actors who want to come to Hollywood to develop, these can be regarded as one thought of heaven and one thought of hell.

The periphery of Hollywood is full of studios that can be seen everywhere. The last time Tao Xi found Gerry near here, but this time Tao Xi did not plan to greet Gerry again.

He was planning to change his camera equipment this time. Last time, because he stayed in the sea for too long, the machine was no longer able to record.

A bus inlaid with the Donald Duck logo passed in front of Tao Xi. This kind of commuter vehicle can be regarded as a symbol of Hollywood.

Tao Xi once heard an old resident who lived in the sewer say that it is an ordinary car with a Disney cartoon logo on it, which can bring tens of thousands of income to Disney every day.

In order to prevent these damn capitalists from making money, Tao Xi did not plan to spend 2 dollars to take this kind of bus once. Tao Xi stood on the side of the road and watched the cars coming and going, acting like a huge pickup truck When the car passed in front of him, Tao Xi grabbed the back of the pickup truck with one long step and jumped in lightly.

At the beginning, Tao Xi, who was sitting in the hood of the car rubbing against the car, didn't notice the abnormality of the car.

But when Tao Xi took out the thing with some butts under the buttocks, Tao Xi whispered: "fxxk! I won't be robbed just by car!"

A wiped rifle with some reflections appeared in Tao Xi's hand, and under the rifle was a bag of dollar bills.

Just when Tao Xi was about to jump off the car, he discovered the abnormality of this rifle, because the weight of this rifle was a little different from his impression, Tao Xi tried to pull the trigger, and directly put the rifle away Throw it in the bucket!
"Damn Hollywood! Damn shootouts!"

Tao Xi rubbed his slightly tense cheeks vigorously, trying to relax him.

At this time, Pierce, the driver of the prop car that had been closely following the crew, stared blankly at Tao Xi who was sitting in the car and holding a pistol. When he saw Tao Xi vigorously rubbing his cheeks, Pierce couldn't help laughing ~
The actress who was still reading the script heard Pierce's laughter and looked up: "Did anything interesting happen?"

Only then did Pierce realize that he is still serving customers today!
These clients from Paris, France rented all six nanny cars in his fleet.

This is a big customer.

"Hahaha, I'm sorry, Miss Sophie Marceau, a little boy was riding in the prop car of our crew. When he got the prop gun, he surprised him and thought we were robbing a bank. Woolen cloth."

Sophie Marceau couldn't help laughing when she heard the driver's explanation.

Pierce, who looked at his employer in the rearview mirror, was almost stunned. If it weren't for his children in their 40s who were as old as her, maybe Pierce would have another youthful flight.

But I don't know if it's an illusion~
Pierce always felt that the director who was about the same age as him looked at the little girl behind him differently. Based on years of life experience, he reckoned that the old man who was about his age was a little bit old-fashioned. up.

It didn't take a while for the crew named "Wild Love" to reach their destination.

Tao Xi saw that the car stopped at the door of a studio that had been built for a long time. Tao Xi just wanted to get out of the car when he saw a half-black and half-white hair with red-rimmed eyes angrily heading towards him. rushed over.

Before Tao Xi jumped out of the car, the little old man grabbed him by the arm and pushed him down from the prop car~
The chattering language made Tao Xi suddenly feel a little irritated. Just when Tao Xi was about to withdraw his arm and wanted to slap him back, a girl with black hair was looking at him in a black knee-length skirt with deep V. .

Tao Xi just looked at it like this, and he couldn't move his eyes away.

Those big eyes that are as pure as a deer seem to be full of curiosity about everything, coupled with the faint smile on the corners of her mouth, Tao Xi's anger that was originally bursting out was instantly extinguished.

"Director Andre, he's not very old, let's forget it." Sophie Marceau took Tao Xi's arm from Andre Zuraski's hand with a smile on her face.

When Andre Zulaski heard Sophie Marceau's words, he first smiled at her and turned his head, then ordered Tao Xi in English with a fierce look on his face, "Hurry up and get out of my car!" Get out, if I see you appearing near our crew again, I will definitely send your head to Siberia to be fed to the dogs!"

Pierce glanced back and all the members of the [Wild Love] crew suddenly felt a chill down their backs.

Based on years of experience in doing business in Hollywood, Pierce habitually looked around. Just as Pierce was about to carry his luggage, he suddenly saw a group of tattooed men standing across the street~
That group of people obviously all looked unkind, and even the person at the head had an excited look on their faces.

Pierce was afraid that he might be wrong, so he rubbed his eyes hard and took a closer look. The person at the head had an excited expression on his face!
Pierce didn't care about anything else when he saw this, the atmosphere here was obviously in the rhythm of an accident, Pierce signaled to the drivers of the RVs behind the car to quickly move their luggage and leave Busy with his own affairs.

Tao Xili also ignored the old man who seemed to be in his sixties, but turned to look at the black-haired woman and asked, "My name is Tao Xi, nice to meet you, what's your name?"

Sophie Marceau turned her head to look at Andre Zuraski with a livid face, and Tao Xi, who reached out to ask his name, didn't know what to do.

"Hey! Where is this man from? I can't understand what to say."

Pierce, the little owner of the RV driver who was busy moving things, suddenly felt a little embarrassed when he saw Taoxi stretching out his foot to block his way.

"Soviet Union! Soviet Union, what he just said was Russian, and the crew came from Paris, France, and the name of the crew is [Wild Love]." After Pierce finished speaking, it was as if he had provoked someone who couldn't afford to provoke him. Bumped, he moved his things and walked into the studio.

Tao Xi knew the crew's name at a glance~
Tao Xi put his hands in his pockets, smiled at Sophie Marceau, and left gracefully.

Andre Zuraski saw Tao Xi's arrogant appearance, and just wanted to go to the front to grab Tao Xi who was about to leave, but was persuaded by Sophie Marceau: "Director Andre, our crew Our budget is limited, so let's get busy with our business first."

As soon as Andre Zuraski heard Sophie Marceau speak, he put on a smiling face and took Sophie Marceau's hand regardless of the others, before going into the studio.

Tao Xi turned her head and glanced at Sophie Marceau who was led into the studio without saying a word, after all, she didn't even know her name.

As for the reason why a French film crew came to Hollywood to film, the reason is very simple. Tao Xi just saw a mask and a pistol on the prop car. The driver told him the title of the film, and Tao Xi also guessed a good one.

make a movie~
It's difficult for this thing to end their affairs without a month, and a month is enough for Tao Xi, a sitting tiger, to do something.

Turning around, he took a serious look at the dilapidated studio behind him. Tao Xi bumped into someone just as he was about to leave the vicinity. Just as he raised his head and wanted to curse a few words, a man with half of his face tattooed with skulls bent over with a smile on his face. He leaned down and said to Tao Xi: "Are you Mr. Bolton's godson?"

Tao Xi took a closer look, although he couldn't remember who the other party was, but Tao Xi was so familiar, he couldn't remember who this person was.

The man on the opposite side with half of his face covered with a skull was also very understanding. Seeing that Tao Xi didn't remember it, he immediately introduced himself: "I'm Salman Moon who Kushner arranged in Hollywood, Gypsy Man, I saw you in Koreatown."

When Tao Xi recalled the ambush he suffered in Koreatown, he suddenly realized.

Salman Moon was also very happy to see Tao Xi remembering himself. Salman Moon first pointed to the opposite studio and asked, "Do you have any conflicts with that country bumpkin from the Soviet Union?"

"You know him?"

"It's more than just acquaintance. The Russian-speaking country bumpkin doesn't pay attention to us because of how many policemen he knows. He came up and told us to go away before we did anything. If this is you, you can bear it." ?”

Tao Xi didn't mind hearing Salman Moon's answer like a hooligan.

In fact, no one can say clearly whether there are gangsters in Hollywood, but Tao Xi knows that Hollywood is the drug sales area second only to Mexico.

These people have always been inseparable from drug sales and turf battles, and when Tao Xi was recuperating in Compton, he heard that a singer who had gone out of Compton relied on the influence of the blood gang in Hollywood to make a film. What about a movie?

It's just that Tao Xi didn't have any plans for his life at that time, so how could he remember them.

"I heard that when making movies, they need to spend a lot of money every day, right?"

Upon hearing Tao Xi's thoughtless words, Salman Moon immediately explained: "That's right, although the appearance fees of those actors are not high, they came to Hollywood to rent cameras, tracks, and lighting fees. , and the messy studio management fees and so on, they have to pay for all of these."

"Oh, then you can go and see how much money their crew spends on energy here."
