The Hollywood Police Department is the 6th police district in the 21 districts under the jurisdiction of the Los Angeles Police Department, referred to as "Los Angeles 6 Bureau".

On Monday morning, Superintendent Raymond Marcus, dressed in a suit, arrived at the police station half an hour early and stood at the door of the police hall waiting eagerly.

Fifteen minutes before going to work, a black commercial car drove towards the police station, and Superintendent Marcus's eyes lit up, and he subconsciously brushed off his dark blue tie and walked towards the commercial car.

The driver, Hansen, drove into the police station, skillfully turned off the engine and stopped, got out of the car and walked quickly to the back row, opened the car door, Jerry Towne, who was wearing an orange jacket and blue jeans, walked out of the car with his head down, smoothed the corner of his clothes, looked up at the eye-catching police badge and the star-spangled flag waving in the wind, and his eyes flashed a few complicated looks, memoran, melancholy, and gloom...... In the end, they all turned into relief.

The strange expression flashed away, and an indifferent smile resurfaced on Jerry's face, seeing that Superintendent Marcus, whom he had met yesterday, was walking towards him, he stepped forward to meet him, stretched out his hand and smiled: "It's an honor to meet you, Superintendent Marcus." ”

"Me too, Mr. Donne. ”

Marcus held Jerry's hand and said with a smile: "I received a call from the police station half a month ago, knowing that Mr. Donn was coming to the police station to observe the work and life of the police officers, so I made arrangements in advance, and I hope this week's police experience can be helpful to your character interpretation." Hehehe!"

"Thank you, Superintendent, and I hope my presence didn't cause you any trouble. Jerry said sincerely, and then followed Marcus into the hall.

Half an hour later, Jerry Towne received two sets of police uniforms and bulletproof vests, and Marcus also made a special locker room for him.

Of course, these are temporary loans, and he will return them to the police station in one week.

In order to experience the role on the spot, Jerry not only entrusted his second uncle Attorney Howard to contact the Los Angeles Police Department to get through the upper echelons, but also wrote a sponsorship check for $100,000 to the Hollywood Police Department.

The dual role of connections and checks is what makes Superintendent Marcus easy for Jerry Towne.

…………

Jerry Towne's next two plays are spent playing the police officer, to be precise, he will play the sheriff in the play.

"Behind the Scenes" will officially start filming in half a month, Jerry plays the young and ambitious criminal deputy sergeant Ed Easley, and in "Prison in the Sky", which will start in mid-July, Jerry replaces John Cusack as federal agent Vince Raj.

Although Jerry Towne has gone deep into the police station many times in his previous life to experience the role, this time is different from the past, while the skin color and identity have changed, accompanied by the great changes in the world, the national situation is different, and the police system is also very different.

One false step will make a great difference.

Although the police system in the United States is complex, multi-police coexists, and is under the jurisdiction of the National Security Council, the police departments of each state and county have their own systems, the management system is relatively independent, and the law enforcement methods are adapted to local conditions, flexible and changeable, and never stick to the rules.

The most obvious difference is that when the American police are confronted with a gangster's attack or a serious threat to their own lives, they do not need to fire a warning shot, but shoot directly.

In addition, the state police departments clearly stipulate that when the police shoot a gun, they should "double click" so that the gangsters completely lose the ability to resist, so as to ensure the safety of the police officers and hostages.

Normally, after the police double-click, the gangsters are killed on the spot, and there is almost no chance of survival.

In addition, the official police in the United States have their own exclusive guns, equipped with three magazines and 45 bullets, and the gun comes with one bullet, a total of 46 bullets, which are kept by the police officers and regularly inspected and maintained.

It is not difficult to see from the guns of police officers alone that there are many guns in the United States, shootings are frequent, and there are major hidden dangers to public order.

So much so that Jerry Towne was always accompanied by at least two personal bodyguards, and they were well-armed, carrying no less than two standard firearms with them, with plenty of ammunition, and two boxes of ammunition in the compartment of the bulletproof business vehicle.

This is standard equipment for members of the Don family when traveling.

In terms of the management of police officers' allocation of guns, in addition to the criminal police, armed police, and special police, although other police officers also have guns, the management of firearms is extremely strict, guns and ammunition are separated, and most of them are put into storage for firearms, and they cannot touch a gun several times a year, except for the law enforcement and shooting training of licensed guns in vicious emergencies.

As for police officers such as highway patrol officers and film police, they are almost never equipped with guns in China, and their personal equipment is even inferior to that of private security guards except for their status as civil servants.

Therefore, Jerry's experience in the domestic police station in his previous life is completely useless in the United States, and if he does not go deep into the police station to understand it in detail, he is likely to make low-level mistakes after the crew starts filming, which makes the crew question his professionalism.

This kind of questioning is absolutely fatal for professional actors, and will be widely circulated in the industry as a joke.

Because of this, Jerry had plans to enter the police department to experience the role long before raising funds to invest in the stock market.

Now that the stock market investment has come to an end, he first went to Brooks Studios after returning from New York to check the post-production progress of the film, the first cut of the film has been completed, and although the soundtrack and sound effects are still in full production, Jerry is quite satisfied after watching it.

Compared with the plot story in my memory, this version of the plot starring me is more compact, the pace is faster, every frame is close to perfect, and the camera connection arrangement is more reasonable.

Regardless of her performance, the performance of the heroine Gwyneth alone is better than the Renee Zellweger that Jerry remembers.

First of all, Gwyneth is tall, although she is not as petite and well-behaved as Renee Zellweger, but when paired with the slender Jerry Donn, she highlights a pure and beautiful sweet image.

Secondly, Gwyneth has rich acting experience, her words and deeds are more in place than Renee Zellweger, who is new to the big screen, there is no trace of youthfulness, every shot is fresh and natural, every line is just right and smooth, and every frame shows the sweetness and loveliness of the girl next door, and there is no trace of performance at all.

Finally, and the point that Jerry values the most, is that Gwyneth has invested a lot of affection in the play, which can almost be regarded as her true character, and the few obviously flawed scenes where there was an estrangement between her and Jerry before were all re-filmed after the two got back together.

Now Jerry has seen far more visual effects than expected in the semi-finished film that has completed the first cut, which makes him very satisfied, and secretly congratulates himself that his "beautiful man plan" has finally paid off, and he is not in vain for his reckless "devotion to Gwyneth".

After watching the first cut, Jerry couldn't help but feel a little proud when he was satisfied, but when he watched it again, a cold sweat broke out on his forehead, because the more he watched it, the more he felt that Gwyneth was "too deep in the play".

In the scene where all two people appear at the same time in the play, Gwyneth looks at him with a look of interest, and the green eyes are full of sweetness and affection, so full of emotion that people watching from the screen can't help but be affected by it, which is immersive, and clearly feels her extreme fascination with Jerry.

The ideal state during filming is to "enter the play" quickly, and "play" should also be "played" as soon as possible after filming, which can best reflect the actor's own performance skills.

"Jerry Maguire" has been closed for more than a month, and Jerry Towne has successfully "played" after this period of self-adjustment, and he is ready to meet new challenges, for which he specially went to the police station to experience the role.

But Gwyneth has not yet come out of the play, she pulled Jerry to indulge in joy on the night of the finale, and then continued to enjoy it for a week, Jerry Towne finally got out of the gentle country and led the team to New York for a month.

On the night of his return to Los Angeles, he was blocked by Gwyneth at the door of his apartment again, and then, what should not have happened was repeated again, and Jerry, who had already "come out of the play", accompanied Gwyneth, who was still addicted to the play, to continue to go crazy.

Fortunately, Gwyneth is still sane, although she is more clingy to Jerry, she will not delay his work, and she has recently received a new film, so she only appears at the Sini 5 apartment at night to wait for Jerry these days, and she is busy with work during the day, and she will not follow Jerry every step of the way.

Even so, Jerry Donn still feels a lot of pressure, and hopes that Gwyneth will "play" as soon as possible, handle the relationship with each other rationally, and make this bad relationship because of the play get on the right track as soon as possible.

Otherwise, the tacit understanding formed between herself, Mira and Monica after months of running-in would have been broken by her, and the backyard would catch fire, and the chickens and dogs would be out of control.

Three days after returning to Los Angeles, Jerry Donn couldn't wait to hide in the police station to experience the role, not without avoiding Gwyneth, leaving each other a little more space and time to let her calm down.

Occasional indulgence of passion is not the norm of life after all, and a rational face of feelings and work is the quality that a professional actor should have.

……

Sunrise and sunset, time passes.

Jerry spent two days in the 6th Bureau Archives, mainly consulting the old files of the Los Angeles Police Department in the 50s, understanding how the officers at that time handled cases, as well as the communication equipment and equipment used in the process of handling cases, focusing on reading the hot cases in Hollywood in the 50s and the results of their handling.

On Tuesday afternoon, Jerry borrowed two firearms used by police officers in the fifties, a revolver and a semi-automatic shotgun, from the police station, and practiced live fire under the guidance of veteran Superintendent Vaughn, the firearms administrator.

Due to his family's privileged background, Jerry Donn was no stranger to firearms, and began to contact all kinds of firearms at the age of twelve, and his shooting performance at fixed and moving targets was quite good, and he has maintained a 98% hit rate.

After the dove occupied the magpie's nest, Jerry Towne's shooting level dropped a lot, and only 65 rings of ten bullets were fired at the fixed target, and the moving target was even worse, with more than seventy percent missing the target.

Hansen, the driver and bodyguard who was standing on the side with his arms crossed, saw the data played by Jerry, his cheeks immediately flushed, and he subconsciously moved his steps to keep himself away from Jerry, and tilted his head to look to the side, lest old Vaughn blame Jerry's miserable results on him, a part-time bodyguard.

However, the dismal results did not last long, after the $500 bullet, Jerry's shooting score began to improve significantly, the fixed target gradually increased from 60 rings to 90 rings, and the moving target score improved more slowly, but the best result was a 10-shot shot.

Seeing this, Hansen finally breathed a sigh of relief, automatically made up his brain, and blamed the previous results on the poor handling of firearms, although the revolver and shotgun are not small, but the rear frustration is large, the safety performance is low, and it is rare in the firearms market today.
