nightcrawler in los angeles

Chapter 52 Clever Sophie Marceau

Since Taoxi spent $2000 in Hollywood updating a Sony portable high-definition shooting device, Taoxi has been unable to restrain the desire to go out and make money again.

Late at night in Los Angeles, when Tao Xi just unloaded the motorcycle from the back of the RV again, Marko had just started the motorcycle and before Tao Xi sat on it, a person stepped off from an old off-road vehicle parked beside him .

"Hello, is this Mr. Tao Xi?"

Tao Xi looked at the man standing opposite him from top to bottom, and Tao Xi recognized him immediately. This man was either a policeman or an agent!
People in this profession have a feeling that makes Taoxi very uncomfortable.

Marko glanced at Tao Xi, turned his head, got off the motorcycle and walked towards the RV. The man showed a very uncomfortable smile for Tao Xi: "Don't be nervous, I'm Jeffrey's friend."

"Jeffrey's friend?" Tao Xi curled his lips in dissatisfaction and signaled the man to continue talking.

This man is quite capable of spitting his own hands. Although Tao Xi's attitude was not very friendly, the boy still showed a very ugly smile and said: "I want to buy that video tape in your hand. As for Jie Don't worry about Freery, he's got what he wants."

Tao Xi suddenly realized when he heard this sentence.

When Jeffrey left that day, he told him that someone would come to him, so don't rush to work.

After nearly half a month, this group of people finally sent someone to look for him.

But Tao Xi didn't rush to agree to him, but stood still and thought for a long time before saying: "Your arrival is very sudden, I need some time."

After hearing Tao Xi's words, the man took a deep breath: "Okay, I hope you can hurry up, me."

"I understand, I understand, if you can't destroy this videotape here, the people behind you won't be able to sleep, right?" Tao Xi complained to the man angrily: "If you could have investigated more , It wouldn’t be the case today, I also saw the news yesterday that Dan Mengs would face prosecution!”

The man just kept laughing when he heard Tao Xi's words.

No matter how bad Tao Xi said, he didn't seem to be angry.

"Mr. Taosi, I know you may feel very uncomfortable as an American citizen, but the people who died on the ship included."

"What you said has nothing to do with me. I just want to know what price you are willing to pay for that videotape?"

In fact, Tao Xi didn't have much thought about the [Long Beach Bombing Case]. He just learned from Jeffrey's persuasion that he could also have a piece of this huge cake.

But how big this piece of cake is, Tao Xi doesn't know.

Although Tao Xi has not been a nightcrawler for a very long time, Tao Xi can be regarded as a person who has half a foot in the news circle. Tao Xi cannot say that he understands the code of conduct of those people in the media, but Tao Xi sees If you have been to the group of people who "fear not to cause chaos" in their work style, you know that the [Long Beach Bombing Case] ​​has affected many people.

Because whether it is [WJLA-TV] that Tao Xi has worked with or [Good Morning America] that suddenly broke out, they suddenly stopped their follow-up reports yesterday as if they had received some order!

Although Tao Xi didn't know about the management's affairs, the movement before the gangsters opened fire, whether it was a public opinion war or a small-scale friction, happened from time to time. If the two gangsters finally stopped their small actions with each other, it means that A third party intervened.

And the strength of this third party is very powerful!
"This is the business card of the California Land Commissioner. He is the leader responsible for the management of idle land development and oil and gas development in California. I happen to know that you are running a [hot dog shop] recently. I believe you will be very interested in his authority. , with his help, your [Hot Dog Shop] will expand very quickly!"

"This is the business card of the Education Commissioner of the California Department of Education. He is responsible for the annual student enrollment expansion of all universities in California. I know that you have a younger brother who is currently studying at Harvard West Lake Middle School. I think this business card will help you It's big too!"

The man held a business card in both hands, one on the left and one on the right, and still looked at Tao Xi with a smile on his face.

Tao Xi looked at the expression of the man on the opposite side and looked at the surrounding dark street environment for a long time before Tao Xi gritted his teeth and said, "Are you threatening me?"

"No no no no! We don't do that with friends."

"Hmph!" Tao Xi snorted coldly and put his hands on his chest and said with disdain: "I don't like threats!"

"You can also understand this." The man was still talking to Tao Xi with a smile on his face, but he suddenly felt a cold thing on his head, and this cold touch made him feel His fear in Vietnam.

With a "crash", the window of the off-road vehicle he was riding just now was smashed, and a man was pulled out of the vehicle by a group of people.

"I said that I don't like threats, and you are threatening me. Let me help you complete your sentence. I can also understand it as a threat, right!" Tao Xi raised his foot towards him The heart of the man in front of him was kicked, and the man was kicked to the ground with a muffled groan.

The faint smile that had always been on the man's face also disappeared.

"Cough cough!"

"Aren't you afraid Jeffrey won't be able to help you? That videotape is a threat!"

Tao Xi squatted on the ground, patted the man's face lightly with his hand and said with a smile: "It seems that Jeffrey didn't tell you my origin clearly! I have no father and no mother, and there are only two brothers in the whole United States. Do you know what it means to be barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes? If this is how you beg for help, then there is no need, you can get out!"

The man glanced at his companion gloomily, and just about to say something harsh, Marco appeared holding Taoxi's newly bought portable video camera.

The strong light from the camera hit the man's face, and the man instinctively wanted to cover the camera, but Tao Xi didn't give him this chance. He first asked Nilta who lived in the hot dog shop to grab the man's hands, and then The man was searched.

Tao Xi is very lucky~
A voice recorder, a federal agent ID, a check.

"Tsk tsk tsk, let me see if the federal agents breaking into the private homes of Rwandan citizens will make you lose your job."

"Oh, what about the recording pen? Let me guess. Is it planned to sue me for extortion? Or is there more than just my recording in this recording pen?"

The man was obviously irritated when he heard Tao Xi's words. Just as he was about to raise his hand to grab the recording pen, Tao Xi punched him on the nose and mocked: "Don't worry, don't worry, you know Los Angeles The story of the sewer? Do you believe that I can make the contents of the recording pen in my hand appear on the bedside of all California government officials in one night?"

"You, you, you dare not! You've been exposed, and Jeffrey shouldn't even think about it."

When Tao Xi heard that the man's mouth was still so hard, Tao Xi looked around in surprise at the people around him, feigning surprise and pretending to be scared: "Yes, yes, yes, I'm scared to death~"

Nierta's younger brothers around him burst into laughter.

Tao Xi lowered his head and stomped on the man's little finger and said to Marco viciously: "Marco! Remember his home address and his identity information on his ID card. If I have an accident in the past six months, it will be all on him. head!"

That man is also a tough guy, he just didn't say a word when Tao Xi stepped on his little finger.

"Remember, adults don't choose, I want everything you give me, and the price now is different from the beginning, multiply by 2! You have to remember this lesson, when you don't know your enemy , don’t raise your tails so high, I don’t like your attitude!”

Tao Xi waved his hands to the people around after finishing his harsh words~
When Colm Stanley saw the RV leave here and the surroundings were once again in darkness, his companion walked up to him with an annoyed expression on his face: "Colm, what should we do? We underestimated this man! Who would know a A 16-year-old guy is so ruthless!"

Colm Stanley endured the pain all over his body and struggled to stand up: "Let's go!"

"Just leave like this?"

"Fxxk! Don't you know what's in that tape recorder? It's the choice of the whole of California." Colm Stanley stopped talking.

But Colm Stanley admitted he was stumped, and he was scared too!

The sewers in Los Angeles extend in all directions, and who knows what that person who has no worries will do when he is pushed.

As for protection?

Colm Stanley as a member of the Federal Agents never trusted his teammates and the forces behind him! ——
[Wild Love] A crew of nearly 60 people is not considered a very large crew in Hollywood, and the atmosphere in the whole crew is quite harmonious.

But I don't know why, since they started filming, the crew either found dead animals at the studio door every day or someone lost something.

In Andre's opinion, these are not big things, because they basically shot most of the plot in France, and the passionate scene of this movie really made Andre, a bad old man, too full addiction.

Whenever he saw Sophie Marceau, the leading actress sitting in the crew and reading a book while basking in the sun, Andre's mood would be much better.

Now all they have left is to shoot the bank robbery at the beginning of the movie within Hollywood's complete industrial film system.

Everything went well today, just when Andrei Zuraski was about to start today's filming, a police car stopped at the entrance of the studio.

"Hey Hey hey!"

"Hey Hey hey!"

"You all stop what you are doing. I have received complaints from residents here that someone in your studio is suspected of taking drugs."

"Please accept the investigation."

Andrei Zuraski was stunned when he saw this scene, if it was said that Americans took drugs Thaksin.

But if he really didn’t believe that the group of people who followed him from France took drugs, just when Andrei Zuraski wanted to go forward to explain, one of the policemen touched the pistol on his waist A hand pointed to his nose and raised a warning.

Andrei Zuraski helplessly spread his hands to signal everyone to accept the investigation.

But what broke Andre a little bit was that someone in his crew actually took drugs, but this drug addict was one of the RV drivers they hired!
Sophie Marceau felt a little helpless when she shared the masterpiece "The Idiot" by Russian writer Fyodor Dostoevsky.

Just when Sophie Marceau was about to go to the front to ask director Andre something, their entire crew was blasted out of the studio. When Sophie Marceau was still at a loss, Ann Andre Zuraski was pushed directly to the ground by one of the policemen.

Sophie Marceau glanced at Pierce, the owner of the caravan team, who was standing in the crowd with some fear, and then looked at the sealed studio and couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

"Sophie, Sophie, don't worry, I'll contact my friend right away to see how to solve this matter." Andre Zuraski took Sophie Marceau's hand and patted her intimately Soothe the back of his hand.

Sophie Marceau frowned instinctively, but soon she controlled the feeling of pulling her hand back.

In order to be able to shoot this film, Sophie Marceau did not hesitate to borrow money to collect 100 million francs to buy back the contract with the Gaumont company, because André Zuraski was the winner of the Palme d'Or at the 34th Cannes International Film Festival. nominate director.

If Sophie Marceau can hold this heroine movie, maybe she can really become a hit in France.

Before [Wild Love] crew applied in France or before they came to the United States, no matter what they did, the crew went smoothly.

But since meeting that boy, Sophie Marceau found that all the troubles have begun~
Sophie Marceau instinctively glanced at Pierce and then at the Starbucks coffee shop not far away and sighed helplessly: "Mr. Pierce, don't be nervous, can you have a cup of coffee with me?"

Pierce glanced at the depths of Sophie Marceau's beautiful face and was about to agree, but when he thought of the "threat" that night, Pierce shook his head again.

"Come on, Mr. Pierce, maybe I can help you solve your current difficulties?" Sophie Marceau just winked at Pierce playfully, and Pierce was dumbfounded.

"I. I'm not thirsty."

"Let's go, Mr. Pierce, he won't blame you if the director isn't here."

Sophie Marceau walked into the Starbucks across the road without waiting for Pierce to refuse.
