Chapter 8: Get the Director-General
In the interrogation room, the silence did not last long.
When Tang Feng was thinking about how to convince the other party, Anne took the lead in speaking: "Mr. Sean, I apologize to you for my attitude just now, please forgive me for being rude." β
As she spoke, she looked at Tang Feng with apprehension and pleading, "Cook and Brand just returned from vacation, and according to them, they were kicked out of the ward by the impatient Robin before they could tell you about the bounty. β
Tang Feng was very surprised, he didn't know why Anne would apologize to him so formally, which made him a little surprised, "Her previous attitude was really bad, even if she didn't apologize, I couldn't do anything with her, but why did her attitude suddenly change?"
Seeing that he didn't speak, Anne couldn't stand it anymore, and her tone became a little excited: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry Mr. Sean, I offended you just now." I hope you will look in the face of poor little Ruth and forgive me for this incompetent mother. β
Tang Feng was even more puzzled, and said with a strange face: "I'm sorry, ma'am, I don't know you, and I don't know the little Ruth you said." Did you recognize the wrong person?"
At this time, the white policeman who had not spoken all this time pressed Anne's shoulder with concern, and then explained to Tang Feng: "Two months ago, Anne took her daughter Little Ruth to camp, and just as she was about to barbecue, Little Ruth, who ran to play in the distance, was attacked by a crocodile that suddenly appeared!"
The damned crocodile dragged little Ruth to the river, but fortunately her cry alarmed Anne, and she desperately ran to the river to save her daughter, and also scared away the crocodile, but little Ruth's leg was bitten off. β
"Although she has undergone two surgeries so far, she has not fully recovered, her injuries are severe, and there is a good chance that she will be permanently disabled in the future. β
As he spoke, Anne gradually stopped crying, and kept muttering, "It's all my fault, woo woo, she's still a child, what will she do if she becomes disabled?"
Tang Feng suddenly realized, no wonder she would apologize so formally, it turned out that her daughter was the victim. At the same time, he thought of the ferocity of the crocodile, and also felt pity for the little girl he had never met, and hurriedly comforted: "Lady Anne, don't worry, I believe that little Ruth will be fine, and that damn crocodile has been killed by me!"
His actions immediately won the favor of the white policeman, who nodded gratefully at him, and then gently comforted Anne.
After a while, Anne gradually regained her composure, and her gaze at Tang Feng softened, "Mr. Sean, thank you very much for helping me kill that crocodile, little Ruth and I will be forever grateful to you." β
Although Tang Feng didn't dare to say that he was a humble gentleman, he would not take credit at this time, and hurriedly waved his hand and refused: "Ms. Annie, I didn't provoke that crocodile for your daughter. β
"Actually, I was accidentally attacked by it, but thanks to my good luck, I was able to escape. β
He was telling the truth, if he hadn't been lucky, I'm afraid he would have been more seriously injured like little Ruth.
But Anne looked at him more gently, and with a hint of admiration, she praised: "What a gentleman you are!"
Sometimes things are as simple as that, and if you talk about it, you may not be able to gain the favor of others, but telling the truth will be more recognized and respected by others.
At this time, in Anne's heart, Tang Feng is simply the most perfect person in the world, who cares what color or race he is?
Those tall white people are helpless, but the young and handsome young man in front of him can do it, and he is still so humble, it is difficult to think without a good feeling!
Although she was only grateful and appreciative of Tang Feng, it could not stop her from wanting to help and repay Tang Feng. Anne turned her head to look at the white policeman beside her, and said in a soft tone, "Hunter, you will agree to Sean's application, right?"
The policeman known as Hunter nodded and said to Tang Feng, "Don't worry, kid." On behalf of the Eastern Los Angeles County Police Department, I approve your application, and you can make your film with peace of mind. β
"When you need our cooperation, you just need to come to me in advance to report. Of course, there may be some costs, but I promise you'll get the best deal possible, and if I'm not there, you can get Detective Anne. β
As he spoke, he winked at Tang Feng with a smile, and added with a sense of humor: "She's the real boss here." β
If he hadn't seen that his relationship with Anne was not ordinary, Tang Feng almost didn't treat him as an old glass, and his eyes were too ecstatic!
Anne's face turned red and she said angrily, "Hunter, we're talking about business! Also, we will call Mr. Sean in the future, so that it will be official." β
Hunter retorted: "Just now on the phone, Robin said that Sean is his little friend. In this way, our relationship is not that of outsiders. β
Then he stood up again, stretched out his hand to Tang Feng, and introduced himself very formally: "Hunter Jones, the chief of the Eastern Los Angeles County Police, is also the fiancΓ© of this beautiful lady next to you. β
Tang Feng smiled, "Sure enough, I guessed it!"
However, he didn't expect that the seemingly honest white man in front of him was actually the director, so he looked a little cramped, "Sean Taylor Tang, a twelfth grade high school graduate, it's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Director." β
Hunter waved his hand and said kindly, "Don't be nervous, Robin and I are old friends, you can be casual." β
"By the way, tell me about your shooting plan. After listening to Robin's introduction, I am now more and more interested in your films, I heard that you are going to make a cop movie, so what scene do you want to shoot in the police station?"
Anne also said with anticipation, "Little Ruth likes to watch movies the most, don't you rest assured that we will do our best to meet your request, right, Hunter?"
Tang Feng feels very good now, originally he was still very dissatisfied with what happened to him, and he didn't expect things to change like this, the middle-aged policewoman with a bad attitude was actually the victim's mother, and her fiancΓ© turned out to be the police chief!
He had been thinking about how he could introduce himself to the bureau chief and convince him with his incorruptible tongue.
Well, now it's all settled!
At the same time, in Tang Feng's heart, the small flame of hope began to stir again, "If I can make the opening more exciting, I should be able to attract more audiences, but I don't know if the director will agree." β
So he decided to fight and try to make the scene as big as possible, so that even if Hunter disagreed, there would be room for manoeuvre.
Tang Feng organized his language slightly, and then said: "Hunter, although my funds are very limited, in fact, I have always wanted to shoot a big scene. Because the police station scene is the highlight of the whole movie, I attach great importance to it, and the plot is like this......"
"What! you're going to blow up my police station?"
"No way!
After listening to Tang Feng's description, Hunter stood up and sternly refused.
Tang Feng knew that he had misunderstood what he meant, and explained with a smile: "Hunter, I didn't mean to blow up your police station, it's just that there is such a plot in the movie, but in fact, it's just a model." β
His explanation did not make Hunt happy, and he was paced around the interrogation room, and his face became a little dark.
After a long time, Hunter said in a deep voice: "First I planted ghosts in my police force to report to drug dealers, then violent people attacked the police station, and then fought with a killer in front of everyone, and now you want to blow up the eastern police station!"
Hunter looked at Tang Feng regretfully, spread his arms, and said apologetically: "Sean, although I admit that such a plot is very hot, with all due respect, I can't agree to your plan. β
Anne took his arm and said, "Wow, I'm already looking forward to your movie now, and I, Hunter and the whole police department can be actors!"
"Hunter, have you forgotten the best night we've ever had together?"
"At that time, I had just been divorced, and I was living in despair every day with little Ruth, who was not yet three years old. β
"You always cared for me, encouraged me, took us to the playground on weekends, and watched movies with me. And the beautiful night we went to the cinema for the first time made me fall in love with you. β
Anne seemed to be talking, and as if she was whispering, her voice was gentle and very infectious, Tang Feng and Hunter both listened quietly, "Before that, I had never found out that our serious deputy chief was actually a literary and artistic young man with artistic dreams. β
"Hunter, didn't you say you've always wanted to be an actor? Now that the opportunity has come, why not give yourself a chance?"
Hunter's face gradually softened, but he said with some confusion: "My dear, I understand what you mean, but I have only been the director of the bureau for a short time, and I can't help but consider the consequences of doing so." β
"Anne, you know why my predecessor lost his position, right?"
Seeing that Anne bowed her head and was silent, she said to Tang Feng again: "Sean, I am willing to help you, but I can't help but consider the reputation of the police department, if it is really like you, then I am afraid that the reputation of the Eastern Police Department will be completely ruined." β
Tang Feng nodded in understanding, but he ignored this.
It's 1990, which is still relatively conservative and closed-minded, and it's really hard enough for Hunter, who is in a high position, to do such a thing for a Chinese director who has just met and has no qualifications in Hollywood.
Knowing that nothing could be done, Tang Feng no longer insisted on his idea, discussed with Hunter and Anne for a while, left each other's phone numbers, and left the East Los Angeles Police Department.
Of course, he left with a $5,000 check, which was the prize he deserved.
After wandering around the street alone and sobering up for a while, Tang Feng still didn't dare to imagine that what happened just now turned out to be true, he actually did this most troublesome thing by mistake, and the result was much better than he expected!
I can't help but think of a classic chicken soup from my previous life: "Whatever you want to do, be brave enough to try, so that you will have at least a 50% chance of success, otherwise you will never succeed." β
The police station was not too far from Charlie's home, and Tang Feng was rarely so interested, so he decided to walk back, passing by the bank where the money was deposited yesterday, he walked in again to cash the check.
This time it was the rather glamorous bank clerk from yesterday, and she saw him cash cheques for two days in a row, and they were all cash cheques of large denominations, and this beautiful girl couldn't help but look at him differently.
The young girl is always full of curiosity, and the beautiful girl is especially fond of fantasies, "This Chinese boy should look younger than me, how can he have so much money, is it all earned by him?"
"Well, it looks quite sunny, it's my type of person, but my body looks a little thin, and if I was stronger, it would be sexier. β
"Oh God, he's smiling so charmingly, would you like to invite him to my birthday party?"
"Phew, what am I thinking, I'm ashamed. β
