America 1982

"Martin, do you know why I chose you when the producer Stephen allowed each unlucky guy to bring an assistant? Because you are from Miami, I love Miami, I love Little Havana, and I love wearing a hula skirt and dancing in a hula skirt A hot Cuban girl who dances!" Tommy was dressed in a tank top, beach shorts and flip-flops. He walked down the ramp of the plane, shielding himself from the hot sun with his hands while looking at Martin, a black man who was carrying two large suitcases behind him. said:

"So, how long does it take us to get from the airport to the famous Little Havana?"

Martin followed Tommy off the plane and put the suitcase on the ground: "Boss, there is something I want to explain clearly. There is indeed a Little Havana in Miami. When I was in Los Angeles, I introduced myself to people as being from Miami, but I actually know Little Havana. I am completely unfamiliar with Havana. I have never been there once. The place where I grew up is called Little Port-au-Prince, also known as Little Haiti. Cuba and Haiti are two hostile countries. Cuba holds Soviet banknotes to pursue communism, while Haiti holds The U.S. banknotes are resolutely against communism, and the U.S. has completely different attitudes towards Cuban immigrants and Haitian black immigrants. Cuban immigrants enjoy better welfare than black people. Therefore, in life, the Little Havana people in Miami and the Little Haitians have different attitudes. Both hate Americans, but are on good terms with each other...well...like Soviet soldiers and American soldiers.”

After the two people got off the plane, there were four or five people carrying cameras and radios who walked off the plane, including old Page.

"That is to say, you can only take me to Miami Compton, where there are many black people. Shit, when you were in Los Angeles, you boasted that you got two Cuban girls in one night. I want to see the sexy Cuban girls. I don't want to go. Little Haiti, I’m going to Little Havana,” Tommy said.

Martin followed Tommy and chattered: "Black people also have hot girls. I have a cousin who I can introduce to you, but boss, the two of us together only have fifty yuan in cash. If we don't eat or drink, We can probably stay in the cheapest hotel for two nights, but only if we go to Little Haiti to find my acquaintances. For my sake, they won't require us to pay a deposit and tax, otherwise we will probably have to Go to a Haitian refugee camp and spend the night in an empty tent.”

Tommy ignored Martin's instructions, but turned to look at the tracking team in charge of his group: "Hey, if something is inappropriate for broadcast, you will make sure it is deleted, right?"

"Yes, sir." Nick Peterson, the leader of the filming crew, had just finished adjusting the machine. He raised his head and agreed in a positive tone.

Then he came over and introduced the script he had mastered to Tommy: "Mr. Hawke, according to our general plot design, you only need to go to the Twelfth Street Catholic Church in the South District to rely on relief food to satisfy your hunger. A place to spend the first night where you can express your feelings for the poor..."

"There is no need to lament the poor. I have been poor before, and I don't want to repeat that bad life again. In short, I like to do whatever I want. I will show the American dream in my eyes. I will not beg you to give me more funds for the program." , I can do whatever I want, and you can shoot whatever you want, and it has nothing to do with me whether it can be broadcast or not, that's it, now you can go back to the machine, Martin, call a taxi, and we'll set off."

"Going to the little Haiti I'm familiar with?" Martin asked uncertainly.

"Go see Cuban girls in Little Havana." Tommy put his hands in the pockets of his board shorts and walked forward.

Martin followed closely, carrying two suitcases, and followed: "When I was in Miami before, I heard that there is a relief point in Little Havana that distributes last-minute food from high-end restaurants to the poor. Boss, damn America. Man, Little Haiti doesn’t offer last-minute food at high-end restaurants, that’s discrimination.”

The program crew following the filming hesitated for a moment and looked at Page, who seemed to have nothing to do with him: "How do I convince your boss to cooperate with our filming?"

"Listen to him." Page lowered his head and lit a cigarette and said calmly.

Then, he motioned for the camera crew to follow him.

Yes, Tommy, who just had a few months of free time, finally failed to dispel Stephen's enthusiasm. He believed that this American positive energy rich program he came up with would definitely win the Emmy Award for Best Reality Show in the American Television Industry.

In addition to Tommy and his assistant Martin, there are two groups of people captured by Stephen. One group is Jason and his girlfriend Susie, who is his assistant, and the other group is Stephen's brothers who were at the same time in the Order of the Phoenix at Stanford.

Jason was sent to the small town of San Saramento, California, and the other group was sent to Little River City, Washington. In fact, according to Stephen's original plan, he was going to send Tommy to Alaska. He didn't want to see Tommy flourish at all. I just want to watch Tommy survive in the wilderness.

Although according to the external publicity of the program, these people will need to support themselves in the next time and show how to change from a down-and-out poor man to a rich man, in fact, even Stephen, who firmly believes that he can win an Oscar, does not believe that the United States It is really easy for poor people to realize the American dream and become rich.

To this end, they designed a lot of realistic-looking script sections, and arranged extras in those cities. Basically, just by following the instructions from the filming crew, they can get help from the actors and well-wishers, and eventually, step by step, Slowly accumulate wealth, become a rich man, and realize the great American dream.

However, Tommy was not prepared to live in a terrible group dormitory provided by the church as requested by the program crew. He chose Miami for vacation, and filming the program was just a way to go.

When the taxi stopped at Cala Ocho, the center of Little Havana, Tommy couldn't wait to open the door and get out, leaving Martin to pay the fare with a painful look on his face.

This is Little Havana, Miami, a place called the "Capital of Latin America" ​​by countless Latinos who have immigrated to the United States.

At this time, the number of tourists and pedestrians simply active in this central square made Tommy feel that there were more people than the entire population of Warwick.

Along the street are stone-walled shops with a strong Cuban style and Baroque-style covered bridges. The air around is filled with the aroma of cigars and coffee, and there are many beautiful women wearing Latin-style clothes, walking gracefully in the square, selling salesmen. The various small commodities in the store, every time they run a little faster, can stir up large swarms of pigeons spreading their wings in the square.

It is still the cold season in New York, and the place is full of northern American tourists who come to the south for vacation. They are either holding cameras and taking pictures, or sitting in outdoor coffee shops to taste Latin American handmade coffee, or sitting on benches to grab a cup of coffee. Feed crumbs to pigeons that seem completely unafraid of humans and can barely fly due to being overweight.

Some Latino street artists were playing various musical instruments around the square, playing sweet rhythms. Some people would even dance to the music, performing a dance with a strong sense of rhythm.

"This is a vacation." When Tommy was sighing, a beautiful woman wearing a straw hat and cool clothes, with a large area of ​​fair skin exposed to the sun, and whose skin tone should be considered Hispanic, walked quickly to Tommy. She showed him the cargo tray she was holding in her hand, which contained small commodities such as cigars, sunglasses, and wooden carvings.

The girl slowly inserted a fully wrapped cigar into the ravine on her chest with her hands, held out her chest and said generously to Tommy:

"Want to try an authentic Cuban cigar? Sir? You can choose it yourself. If you like one, pick it up with your own hands. Welcome to Havana."
