England 1986

Chapter 341 Big News!
As soon as Anthony Hopkins mentioned this, the host next to him laughed. He subconsciously turned his head and glanced at the old Carl who was sitting in the first row. He had already guessed who Anthony Hopkins was talking about. up.

Although it is said that this internationally renowned director is somewhat sloppy, but leaving aside professionalism and only talking about pure fame, that definitely can be regarded as an internationally renowned director!
It's just that you, Anthony Hopkins, have thick eyebrows and big eyes, and you actually took the initiative to talk about him on the stage of the Academy Award for Best Actor. You have such a dog-licking attitude. Are you really okay?

"I think if there is a chance, I can meet with that Excellency, and it would be even better if we can cooperate once, haha."

What Anthony Hopkins said, it seemed that he would be satisfied if he could meet Allen once, and even if he could cooperate once, he would die without regret.

This expression made the host very speechless.

When you delivered your acceptance speech just now, you were so perfunctory, but now when you talk about the nobleman in your hometown, you become so eager to lick him, disgusting!
Standing on the stage of the Oscar, and in the live broadcast, blatantly saying such a thing, it seems that Oscar is very good. Only after winning the Oscar, you will have the courage to go to that noble lord.

The host was speechless and didn't want to ask anymore. He forced a smile and complimented him a few more words. Then Anthony Hopkins stepped down with the statuette trophy.

At the Los Angeles Music Center, around 10:30, the Academy Awards ceremony finally came to an end.

The outside was full of movie fans, but many award-winning crews and stars waved to the fans as soon as they walked out of the venue. The awards ceremony is over, but the real nightlife has just begun!
Those who won the award had to celebrate, those who didn't win the award, and those who only got nominations also got corresponding promotional opportunities and showed their faces in the live broadcast.

Producers and public relations companies also celebrate, as do actresses and some directors, to deepen relationships and promote integration.

Everyone is busy going to the place to go, the booked hotel, villa and so on.

Anthony Hopkins staggered behind the old Karl, and the old Karl dealt with everyone impatiently who came up to say hello to him.

Men and women, there are celebrities, there are producers, there are many directors and heads of film and television companies.

Although Old Carl doesn't play in the film and television industry, the people behind him do!

Even if the box office of the movies made by that noble lord is generally not high, that's not a problem!
Fame and fortune, fame and fortune always come before profit, and the status of nobility represents the greatest fame!
Money, at a certain time, everyone has no shortage, just like Cameron's queen actor Arnold, who is now a hot fried chicken in Hollywood. How much is his current salary?
2000 million dollars!Not bargaining yet.

And even if someone offered Arnold $2000 million to make a movie, whether he would accept it would depend on his mood.

A movie can be as short as three or four months, and as long as it is half a year or a year.

After deducting taxes, you can get 1000 million US dollars just like that. If you work hard, you can make two or three movies a year. Is this money hard to earn?
In addition to the film salary, after each film is shot, the actors will continue to receive the copyright income dividends of the film in the next few decades, which is more than the film salary!
Just like Allen, he mainly sells video tapes, and every time he sells a video tape, part of the proceeds from the copyright will be distributed to the actors, even if the video tapes are rented out or played on TV. Copyright fee!
This is a long-term income. It can be said that for an actor of Arnold’s level, he is now acting in a movie, and the continuous income for decades can add up to hundreds of millions of dollars in income. Income, is not it shocking?
Money doesn’t matter to them at this stage, and they start to pursue fame, such as making more in-depth movies and winning awards. These are all kinds of fame. If it's cooperation, then this is even more tempting to them than a mere name.

This has reached the level of class.

The United States says it is freedom and equality, haha, no fools really believe such words, right?

If it is true equality, why are there such strong defense forces in the wealthy communities, while the civilian areas are so chaotic?

Is it because there are not enough police officers?

It's because that rubbish is not worth protecting at all!

If equality and freedom are true, why are there so many rich families in the United States with servants?

Servants were originally a product of the class system.

This is also the reason why Cameron, as a Hollywood rookie and a promising director, was obliged to join Allen's school as soon as he was seduced by the old Carl.

Money is easy to earn, and fame is easy to get when the money is in place, but status and class are not easy to improve!

Fools will not let go of the opportunity to raise their class, or to be by the side of someone with a higher class.

Old Karl was still dealing with everyone who handed him business cards and chatted with him, and suddenly
There was a muffled sound in the distance, not a loud noise, but a very muffled sound, like the thunder before the spring rain. Accompanied by the muffled sound, just east of the Los Angeles Music Center, there was a faint light of fire lighting up the sky.

Old Carl pretended to be surprised, and quickly turned his head to look in the direction of the muffled sound.

The straight-line distance between Los Angeles Music Center and Koreatown is less than six kilometers, which is extremely close!
Before everyone could figure out what happened there, the second, third, and fourth muffled sounds came one after another, and the sky over there became brighter!
It was as if something had exploded, and then, the crackling sound was heard intermittently.

In foreign countries, no one would think that this kind of crackling sound is firecrackers, but this is America!
Everyone subconsciously heard that it was gunshots!

Although it was intermittent, anyone with a bit of knowledge could tell the intensity of the gunfire. At least hundreds of guns fired at the same time!

It was the time when the Oscars ended, and the outside media were still there, and all the media were a little confused.

They more or less know that Los Angeles is not peaceful recently, but they didn't expect it to be so peaceful!

This is a fight?Or riot?

But anyway, this is definitely big news!
The current Oscars are over, and now these stars are not important anymore, some clever media are already quickly packing up the equipment, loading the car, and then stepping on the accelerator, driving in that direction.

Is this big news, is it a big hit, or did it happen in Los Angeles, America, what is it?
This is a promotion and salary increase, this is an endless bonus!
"Sir!"

Anthony Hopkins was still calm, approached Old Carl, and asked softly.

The people who came to get closer just now have almost dispersed. The star ran faster, and there was a gunshot over there, and they had already started running.

"Don't panic, there is still some distance from us, go back quickly, pay attention to safety tonight, watch the news tomorrow, what happened in the end."

Old Carl sighed, pretending to be calm and said something to the people around him in a loud voice, and then he took Anthony Hopkins to the car together.

In Old Carl's villa in the suburbs of Los Angeles, it is far away from Koreatown. I didn't even hear what happened there. Even if I could see the sky glowing red, no one would care. That direction Isn't it the place where the Oscars ceremony is held tonight, who knows what those stars are doing.

Ceylon had just had supper when he suddenly received a call from Carl.

"Hello, sir."

"Ceylon, I just finished attending the Oscars ceremony. It seems that something big happened here. Don't you want to see what's the news?"

Old Carl dutifully completed his own character design, he likes to support the younger generation.

There is big news here, and now that the BBC's special interview team is temporarily resting at his villa, it is reasonable to call them to inform them.

But Ceylon's face darkened when she received the call. She already felt that something was wrong. Although she didn't know Alan's plan, she went out for interviews in the middle of the night and mixed up big news.

I glanced at a few young people who were chatting in the distance. These people were very courageous. They were well received by the old Karl these days. They had a very good impression of the old jazz. , and dared to compare the old Carl with the earl's son Spencer at the recent BBC headquarters, and then everyone complained and abused Spencer together.

"Okay. I see, where is the location?"

"It's just east of the Los Angeles Music Center, and you can follow the flow of people when you come over."

Even though Old Carl knew that the place where the accident happened was Koreatown, he didn't say anything. He never said any key information on the phone. The young master warned him a long time ago that Yankees are insidious. They like to monitor the phone, no matter who it is, no matter who it is. At no time should key information be shared over the phone.

Ceylon took everyone and equipment and went out to report big news. From the suburbs to the urban area, the further inward, the greater the flow of people on the street.

But this bigness is only relatively big compared to the situation in the suburbs where no one comes out at night. The further you go to the city, the better the law and order, and people dare to go out at night.

As for the specific location of the accident, there is no need to ask at all, just follow the opposite direction of the flow of people.

When it was one block away from Koreatown, cars could no longer drive in, and the outside was surrounded by Los Angeles police and various interview vehicles, as well as some spectators.

Ceylon sent people to negotiate with the police with their documents.

There is a smoky and burnt smell in the air, and there is a little smell of barbecue, and there is a little bit of hot eyes, but because it is night, I can't see anything clearly.

Ceylon has not yet figured out what these smells are, and the people who negotiated in the past have returned.

"Boss, the police said that it's not safe to go any further. If we insist on going in, we will be responsible for any accidents!"

This person was talking with an extremely excited expression on his face. The more danger there is, the more big news there will be. As a reporter, how can you be afraid of danger?

Ceylon glanced at the young man in front of him with a complicated complexion, what a nice guy he was, but his mouth was a little off.

"Move the equipment, let's go in, let everyone be careful, don't run around!"

Going along the alley, there are obvious traces of black smoke on the wall in the alley, about two or three meters high, very obvious, you can see it with a flashlight, it seems like it just happened There was a fire, but apart from the abnormal dryness and an unpleasant smell, there were no traces of the fire in the alley.

Ceylon is walking on the far left side of the team, neither in front nor in the back. They have just walked out of the alley. Their position at this time, along this straight road, and they can walk less than 1000 meters to South Korea. city.

There were a few people lying on the road whose life and death were unknown. These people were completely dark, and they couldn’t tell what race they were. They just lay on the ground, some curled up, and some seemed to be in extreme pain. There was still darkness on the ground. of scratches.
"vomit"

Some people with shallow stomachs in the team have already started throwing up against the wall.

They finally knew where the smell of barbecue in the air was coming from.

The person who vomited was just about to raise his head to say something, when there was a crisp sound of "snap!"

The person who vomited froze with an unbelievable expression on his face, swayed twice and fell down with a plop.

This scene stunned the disgusting team just now, and Ceylon was also stunned. There were even fragments in her mind.
She thought about many situations, but she never thought about this, just so direct?Just so aboveboard, just such a shot?
Where is the enemy?I don't know, who fired the shot?have no idea.

Why attack them, still do not know!
Without giving everyone a chance to be confused, starting from the first shot, several more gunshots rang out one after another, and several young people fell down in the team. This scene even scared everyone who was still in excitement just now!
Some people screamed and started to crawl into the alley, some lay on the ground and yelled, the whole team was in chaos!

Ceylon was quite frightened. She hid behind the photographer who was carrying the camera, and subconsciously said loudly: "Don't panic, don't panic, hide in the shadows, bend down, don't mess up!"

But the ghosts and wolves howling in the team had already messed up, and no one listened to him at all.

The crackling gunshots were not too dense, but with every gunshot, someone fell down, ran?

There were even gunshots behind them. They were blocked at the entrance of the alley like this, and they had nowhere to run!
There are tall buildings with red brick walls on both sides, there is not even a window below the second floor, and there is not even a trash can that can be used as a shelter in this alley!

Ceylon didn't care about how dirty the ground was, she curled up on the ground, and every time a gunshot was fired, her curled up body trembled with the sound of the gunshot.

She didn't know how many people died, and she didn't know when the gunfire would stop, but she felt that as the gunshots came one after another, the other party was getting closer and closer to them.

Until the sound of footsteps came from behind, Ceylon was too scared to even look up
boom!
Gunshots even rang in Ceylon's ears. The photographer hugged his legs and wailed. His camera was also picked up and taken away. When the masked man knelt down to pick up the camera, Ceylon turned his face sideways. , looking right at him.

These eyes!

Ceylon's pupils shrank suddenly, she knew these eyes, she even saw him in the villa in the morning, a very shy young man!

You can't go wrong!
She remembers each other's eyes!

The two sides looked at each other, and the other party held a gun in his left hand. Under Ceylon's shocked gaze, he raised the gun towards her, "Bang"!
