screenwriter mystery

Chapter 86 Moving 【For Collection Recommendation】

In New York City, the mighty Hollywood screenwriter strike is still going on.

However, Zhao Yuan, who was one of the participants, had already withdrawn from the front line of the strike in New York.

Fly back to Los Angeles.

The main purpose of his trip to New York to participate in the strike was for the evolution of the script. Now that the goal has been achieved, he naturally has no intention of continuing to parade on the streets with the large troops every day.

After all, as a well-known screenwriter in Hollywood today, it is impossible for him to show up and shout all the time during the strike.

In fact, those big names who participated in the strike parade also went to the parade site to wander around, took photos in front of the media to express their support for this strike, and then turned around and continued to enjoy the colorful glamor of Hollywood. Life.

……

"Recommended city?"

On the phone, Wen Ziren heard Zhao Yuan's inquiry, and he couldn't help showing a surprised expression on his face.

When he received a call from Zhao Yuan, he thought he was here to inquire about the progress of "Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2", but he didn't expect that the other party didn't mention anything about the movie at all, but asked him about any good neighborhoods in Los Angeles Recommended.

"The community I live in is not very safe, so..."

Compton, inside the cheap apartment.

"... Fu** you, you little bitch..."

"Why, why did you do this? Are you trying to get revenge on me? How old are you? Before you skipped class to fool around with men. Now, you actually came back with a big belly. How old are you? How old are you? Be a mother to me, tell me, which kind of bastard is the child in your belly..."

"Don't worry about it, I will give birth to the child!"

"Little Bichi, you know what you're talking about. After giving birth to a child, you can't even support yourself, and you have to raise a child who doesn't know that guy!"

Zhao Yuan explained to Wen Ziren on the phone while listening to the familiar scolding voices of the black mother and daughter next door.

"I plan to take advantage of the time when the strike is free, and move to a neighborhood with better security."

After exploring the evolution location of the system and being able to replace it with the recording function, Compton's attraction to Zhao Yuan fell to the bottom.

Since, the script can be easily evolved in a community with a beautiful environment and perfect security.

Why should he stay in such a dangerous place like the Compton neighborhood, afraid of the stray bullets flying from nowhere at any time, and the idle blacks gathered together in the alleys of the neighborhood.

Speaking of which, as early as the end of last year, the lease signed by Zhao Yuan and the landlord was about to expire, and there was only less than a month left.

However, unsurprisingly, the stingy landlord tore up the contract and had no intention of returning the remaining deposit. He was only allowed to continue living in the apartment until the deposit was deducted and he was kicked out. Stop most of the tenants' endings.

Faced with the landlord's forced lease renewal, Zhao Yuan could of course choose to leave directly.

However, he was at the busiest stage at that time, whether it was the filming of the later movie "Blair Witch" or the script that went to Texas to evolve, and the moving was delayed again and again under the circumstances of constant rotation. Instead, the cheap apartment he rented became his only temporary residence in Los Angeles.

It's just that when I got used to the "Modern Family" crew, the community where the family was filmed was sunny and the community security environment was full of birds and flowers.

Going back to the chaotic neighborhood of Compton always gave Zhao Yuan a feeling of discomfort.

As the saying goes, it is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal.

This point is even more naked in a capitalist society like the United States.

In the United States, slums and rich areas are completely two extremes of life.

……

"If you want to move to an area with better law and order, Beverly Hills will always be the first choice. As one of the most famous places in Hollywood, it has a perfect security system, and the police are around 24 hours a day Responsible for patrolling, it is definitely the safest place in the entire United States, except for the White House."

Although Wen Ziren's introduction was a bit exaggerated, it is undeniable that Beverly Hills does perfectly meet Zhao Yuan's requirements for good law and order.

Just, think of your current worth.

Although because of the big sales of "The Blair Witch" and the pre-shooting of "Modern Family", he made a lot of money.

However, there is still a big gap compared with the price of luxury houses in Foley Hills, which can easily cost 5000 to 24 million yuan. Behind the luxurious public security of Foley Hills, it is built by piles of dollar bills, otherwise you I wonder why the police patrol the neighborhood [-] hours a day.

Not because they pay too much.

The salaries of the American police are paid from the property taxes collected locally.

Rich community policemen are dedicated to their duties and have ample police force. Naturally, they are motivated because of their adequate salaries.

……

I think I am the mastermind behind the scenes, with the ability to fabricate the world, but I am still troubled because I can't afford a luxury house.

For a moment, the idea of ​​directly using the system evolution script to make money came into Zhao Yuan's mind.

Of course, this idea of ​​making money just splashed a little water in his mind and quickly calmed down.

With his current fame in Hollywood, as long as he "creates" the script step by step, buying the mansion in Beverly Hills is a safe matter. If this is the case, then why waste the [story value] that is so hard to get in the system.

Shaking his head to suppress the imminent thoughts in his heart, Zhao Yuan immediately said to Wen Ziren on the phone with a speechless face.

"Let's forget it. Beverly Hills is not something I can consider at the moment. You should recommend me some more realistic places."

"hey-hey."

Hearing Zhao Yuan's speechless reaction on the phone, Wen Ziren chuckled, the mansion in Beverly Hills, not to mention Zhao Yuan, even a director who had already started to gain fame in Hollywood, couldn't afford to live in it.

However, several reasonable choices are also given.

"If you don't choose Beverly Hills, Malibu, or Santa Monica, which is developing rapidly recently, is also good. Of course, when it comes to the most suitable place to live for Asians, it is still known as 'Little Beverly Hills' San Marino, where Asians make up almost half of the population, is also one of the few urban areas with the lowest crime rate.”

"San Marino?"

I heard the name of the urban area mentioned by Wen Ziren on the phone.

Zhao Yuan couldn't help muttering.

Since I can't afford to live in Beverly Hills for the time being, Little Beverly Hills seems to be a good choice.
