Chapter 449 Security Issues
Lao Tian is Minister Tian. It is said that Minister Tian was severely criticized for the fake student incident. In turn, Minister Tian severely criticized the leaders of Sanping Han of the Central Film and the Big Scissors.

There is a word "acting" in front of Sanping Han's position as chairman. If this matter cannot be resolved, he probably won't have to act as chairman anymore and can retire early.

Li Haoyang touched his head and said, "It's just that the food here is not something we are used to."

"I understand," Little Gilbert smiled. "You can go to Chinatown, but be careful. After all, not all areas in Los Angeles have good security."

The two students said that they understood and promised that they would study hard.

These past two days, Little Gilbert has been coming to the crew of "The Mystery of the Talisman", mainly because "Wushuang" has not yet started shooting, so he has to come here to keep an eye on it.

Previously, because of the fake students incident, there was some unfavorable public opinion on the Internet. That group of fake students almost walked out to Los Angeles, but were blocked here by fanatical fans.

I have to mention here that gangs are not only rampant in Chicago, but Los Angeles is also the same, with various gang forces taking over the streets.

There is a saying in Chicago that the streets of Chicago belong to the police during the day and to the gangs at night.

The same is true for Los Angeles, after all, it is the prototype city of Los Santos.

Many of the gangster gangs in Los Angeles were fans of Gilbert Jr., and it was the gangsters who led their men to surround the group of fake students.

Little Gilbert also told Lao Tian about this incident. Lao Tian was very surprised. Fortunately, the gangsters were under control and did not rush in.

Otherwise, if he shot a fake student, the scene would probably be very lively.

From now on, little Gilbert will not even dare to go to China. People will be hostile to him and classify him as someone who is friendly to China on the surface but actually has evil ambitions.

This was a fatal blow to the image that Gilbert Jr. had worked so hard to build, and it will be difficult for him to reap the Chinese market in the future.

Fortunately, the Los Angeles police received so much sponsorship from Gilbert Jr. every year, and gangster movie fans also gave him face and did not make any big news for Gilbert Jr., otherwise he would have been embarrassed.

However, after those fake students returned, they heard that the people surrounding them in the hotel were gang members with guns in their hands, and they were actually glad about this incident.

Glad you're back, I almost died.

Old Tian knows a little more than the general public. He knows that the public security in Los Angeles or North America is not that good. Public security is relative. Public security is good only in wealthy areas.

Not only Gilbert Jr. sponsors the Los Angeles Police Department every year, but Los Angeles' wealthy people and Hollywood's celebrity directors also give money in the hope that the police can improve law and order where they live.

That's how it is in North America, nothing can be done without money.

So Lao Tian was very worried about the safety of the five students. After all, so many things had happened, and it would be bad if something happened to these five again.

Little Gilbert comforted his old friends and repeatedly assured them of their safety.

Because of this, Guo Fan and his four companions have not visited Los Angeles much since arriving there because they are worried about safety issues.

After little Gilbert left, the crew entered the third week of filming. It was a good day off, so Guo Fan and his friends stayed in the hotel with nothing to do.

It just so happened that Brother Cheng Long came to see these young men from the mainland. After all, they all share the same roots, and as an older brother, I have to show some concern for them.

"Brother Cheng Long..." A few people were playing Landlord in the room, and Brother Cheng Long came over. The five of them hurriedly greeted him.

"How was it? Didn't you go out to play during your rest day today?" asked Brother Cheng Long.

Li Haoyang answered very honestly: "The crew didn't let us walk around, saying it was dangerous."

"Indeed, some areas in Los Angeles are very chaotic, and it's easy for outsiders to get robbed if you go there." Cheng Long said he had a deep understanding of this.

When he first came to Los Angeles in 1995, he knew nothing and was almost robbed by gangsters.

Later, one of the leaders watched "Rumble in the Bronx" and liked Jackie Chan's movies very much, so he released him and returned his things.

Now that Cheng Long is becoming more and more famous, such things have never happened to him again.

But Guo Fan, Li Haoyang and the other five guys were different. Their poor English showed that they came from the other side of the world. The unknown gangsters might stab them. If they didn't learn any skills, they would get injured and die. This would be a big deal.

Although the consulate and the crew are watching them, these five guys don't look like the kind of people who would be obedient. The one called Guo Fan is better.

Seeing that they had nothing to do on their day off, Brother Cheng Long gave them a clear direction: "Don't go to those remote places. If you want to go shopping, go shopping around here. You can also go shopping in the shopping street and Chinatown."

"Okay, thank you Brother Cheng Long..." The five people expressed their gratitude.

After Brother Cheng Long left, the five people excitedly discussed where to go for fun.

Ma Qiang suggested: "Why don't we go to Chinatown and have some Chinese food? I can't stand the hamburgers, fried chicken and steaks every day."

"I heard that Chinese food here is improved and different from that in China."

"Why don't you just go and try it and find out?"

Guo Fan suddenly said, "You guys go eat, I'll just walk around here."

Li Haoyang also persuaded: "Isn't there a film set nearby? What's there to see? It would be great if you could come with us."

"Hey," Ma Qiang waved his hand and said, "If they don't want to go, we won't force them. We'll go by ourselves."

After saying that, Ma Qiang glared at Guo Fan. This man didn't give him face. Didn't he know who was the leader among the five people?
Ma Qiang wanted to take the leadership position, after all, there were only five of them left.

I thought it was easy, Li Haoyang had become a bootlicker, a lackey. Only Guo Fan was unmoved, as if to say they were not the same kind of people.

They are indeed not the same kind of people, and Guo Fan does not want to get mixed up with Ma Qiang and others because their status is different.

Before leaving, Li Haoyang glanced at Guo Fan, sighed, and then followed Ma Qiang.

Guo Fan had a free lunch at the hotel and then wandered around the Fox Studios aimlessly.

He had a work permit, so he was allowed to visit all parts of Fox Studios except the filming studios and warehouses. Guo Fan also had a notebook with him, and he visited each studio one by one, recording every detail he observed.

As we walked, we arrived at Studio 2 and 3 of the "Wushuang" crew.

It was very busy inside at this time. It was obvious that "The Mystery of the Talisman" was on holiday, but the "Wushuang" crew was not on holiday. Director Gilbert Jr. must be busy inside.

Guo Fan spoke to the security guard at the door: "Can I go in and take a look?"

"Work permit." The bald security guard was indifferent.

Guo Fan showed his work ID card, and the bald security guard waved his hand after looking at it, saying, "Sorry, you can't go in."

"Is this work ID not acceptable?" Guo Fan thought that the work IDs of the two crews were interchangeable.

"Sorry, your work permit does not meet our requirements and you cannot come in." The staff guarding outside the studio still tried to stop them.

At this moment a voice sounded: "Let him in!"

Guo Fan took a quick look and found that it was Miss Ivanka who was beside little Gilbert. He had seen her several times.

"Ms. Ivanka..." Guo Fan nodded in surprise.

Ivanka nodded slightly and said, "Come in."

The bald security guard moved aside to let Guo Fan in.

"Thank you," Guo Fan politely thanked the bald security guard, then followed Ivanka in.

Normally, when the crew is filming, outsiders are not allowed to enter, and Guo Fan became one of the few outsiders who could enter.
