After getting up the next day, Tang Feng first cleaned the lawn outside the house, and left Charlie's house after having breakfast in a hurry.

He took his adaptation of the script and got on the bus to Santa Monica, where the Western Writers Guild was.

William is still on vacation, and he and Mary are going to negotiate with Julia today, while Charlie is going to fix his treasure, the secret weapon he wants to show Don, an old-fashioned camera.

He had spent all his savings, plus three hundred dollars from William's support, and had gotten them from second-hand camera equipment dealers.

After reading the script last night, Charlie took it out like a treasure, but Tang Feng shook his head regretfully after reading it, "This is just a handheld camera produced in the 60s, and it is 16MM film, although it can still be used but it can't be used to make my movie, but you can try to use it to make a documentary, or your own experimental film." ”

"Oh, it's so old, you can see that the handle and the body are broken. Dude, you better go and fix it, otherwise if you don't pay attention to it, it will probably be completely scrapped. ”

Tang Feng came relatively early, and there were not many people in the Screenwriters Association, so he quickly got the position.

The registration process is very simple, after he has paid the registration fee and submitted the script to the receptionist, the registration is completed. Of course, it will not take effect until it is reviewed by the Screenwriters Guild, and he will be notified at that time.

This script cannot be used for filming, and he also needs to write a storyboard script to be used during filming, which is an important link to turn the literary image in the script into the screen image expressed in the movie, and the storyboard script is also the so-called "director's script".

Storyboard scripts are expressed in words, and some are expressed in the form of scene painting, Tang Feng has no painting skills, so his storyboard scripts can only be expressed in words.

But these days, whenever he has time, he thinks about how to shoot his own films, and his mind is always changing the pictures of each plot in the script, although he has not yet begun to write the storyboard script, but he already has a rough outline in his mind.

On the way back, Tang Feng continued to look aimlessly at the scenery outside the car window, while conceiving the plot of the story, when suddenly a not tall building on the side of the road caught his attention.

"It's supposed to be the headquarters of the East Los Angeles Police Department, I think I'm going to have to go in there!"

......

The hall of the Eastern Los Angeles County Police Department was as busy as ever.

From time to time, you can hear a few painful pleas of the informant, or the suspect's disgruntled rebuttal, or the stern reprimand of the police officers.

Everyone was busy with their own affairs, and no one cared about Tang Feng, who had just come in, this was not the first time he had come to the police station, but he felt as uncomfortable as ever.

This may be the common feeling of all Chinese Americans in Country M, especially those who have just arrived here and are still seriously unaccustomed to the water and soil.

Most of them don't want to deal with the police, because when the police find you, it's not a good feeling, and it can even be very resentful and discriminatory.

For the filming of the movie, Tang Feng had to come in hard, because a major scene in "The Killer's Tragedy" must be allowed and cooperated by the police, otherwise it is impossible to complete.

Besides, the eastern neighborhood in this era, although not as chaotic as the central and southern regions, is not a pure land, if he wants to make his own movie, he must first get the police here!

Finally waited for a vacant place in the reception area, Tang Feng didn't think much about it and hurriedly stepped forward, and said to a middle-aged female policeman with a straight face: "Hello, ma'am, I want to ......"

Before he could finish speaking, he heard a soft snap, and the policewoman just glanced at him condescendingly, then patted a form, and said arrogantly and mechanically: "Add the form first, and then go to the waiting area and wait for the officer's inquiry." ”

"Alright! Please wait!. ”

Although her attitude was very bad, Tang Feng had no choice but to endure this breath in his stomach, it was very stupid to fight with the police here, but he also aggravated his tone to express his dissatisfaction.

There were a lot of people in the waiting area, Tang Feng only found a place against the corner, and after filling out the form, he saw that the policewoman was receiving others, and it seemed that it would not end for a while, so he waited quietly in his seat.

Many of the people here are here to apply for bail, either they are relatives and friends of the suspects, or they hire lawyers, and occasionally when the suspects who have been released on bail are taken out, someone will come forward to claim them, or sigh and comfort or curse and get acquainted, and then take them out of the police station.

Tang Feng looked at it bored for a while, and looked around when he didn't think it was interesting, and he found some posters of bounties posted on the wall at the door, so he approached with great interest to take a look, so as to pass the time.

"Huh? This is interesting, the murderer who is offering a bounty for arrest is...... It's a crocodile! It can't be the one I killed, right? ”

One of the reward posters immediately made Tang Feng's heart move, and he read it patiently, "Suspected haunted area: the middle section of the Los Angeles River, near the East Los Angeles area." ”

"About three to four meters long, maybe nearly five meters long, dark black body, ferocious and brutal, a few days ago a 5-year-old girl bit off the left leg of a 5-year-old girl near a picnic camp by the river."

"There is a defect in the middle of the tail fin, and it is suspected that it is a pet crocodile that has been abandoned by someone, if you can provide accurate information, you will be grateful!"

"$5,000 bounty for kills!"

After reading the content on the poster throughout, it was not too much longer to look at it, Tang Feng could basically confirm that the crocodile he killed should be the one on the poster!

"Good boy, I really didn't expect that crocodile to be really valuable."

After saying that, he wanted to remove the poster on the wall, intending to receive the reward first, but just as he was struggling to remove the poster, he heard a piercing scream coming from the reception area, "Damn! What do you want! ”

Suddenly, everyone's eyes looked at Tang Feng, and a tall white policeman walked quickly in his direction while pulling out his gun, and shouted sharply: "Raise your hands!" Stand there and don't move! ”

Tang Feng didn't expect his actions to cause such a big reaction, not only was he scolded sharply, but he was even pulled out by the police!

Fortunately, he is not a junior brother who has just come to the United States and has no common sense, and he has long been familiar with this set of police. I saw him slowly raise his hands, and then let the tall policeman search him quite savagely, and then roasted him in handcuffs.

It wasn't until the other party put the gun into the holster again that he said loudly: "Sir, I killed this crocodile, and I happened to see the bounty poster on the wall again, so I did what I did just now." ”

The white policeman laughed strangely: "Just you? Haha, come on, kid. It's the funniest thing I've ever heard when I've grown up! ”

Then his tone became stern again, "Boy, don't think I don't know what the hell you're up to!" You must have heard about it, and you already knew that this crocodile was killed a few days ago, so you came to claim the bounty! ”

"You cunning Orientals, I've seen too much!"

Another policeman glanced at Tang Feng's not strong body, and shouted with a strange smile: "Wow, look at his weak chicken, don't listen to his nonsense, look at him as a liar!" Jack, give me a beating up and send him to detention! ”

For a while, Tang Feng became the target of everyone in the hall, although the others didn't know what was going on, but there was a lot of excitement to see, and they all followed suit, "This guy is really bold enough, he actually tricked him into the police station, and he will suffer later!" ”

"Where is this yellow-skinned monkey from? RB people? Korean? Or Chinese? What an idiot! ”

"How old is he to dare to deceive the police and claim a bounty? Someone must have instructed him! ”

"Damn Orientals, damned liars! Let them sit through the prison! ”

Tang Feng was very annoyed, it was obvious that he had killed the crocodile, but no one wanted to believe his words. The experience of his previous life taught him that at this time, he must remain sane and at the same time defend his dignity with the law!

I saw him say righteously: "Half a month ago, at the location described in the bounty order, I was attacked by a crocodile about four meters long, and finally I killed it!" ”

"If you don't believe me, look at the scars on my arms, which were left in that fight. And after I fell into a coma due to blood loss, I was rescued by George Brant and taken to the Eastern Hospital, where I was treated by Dr. Robin, whose phone number and address I could provide if needed. ”

"Also, I made a note at the hospital that afternoon, it was Officers Cook and Brand who gave me a transcript, it should be the officers of the Eastern Police Department, you can go and ask them."

As he spoke, everyone's eyes were focused on his hands, and Jack even savagely rolled up the sleeves of his shirt, and gradually the discussion quieted down, as if he believed what he said.

Tang Feng said to the white policeman again: "Your name is Jack, right?" After ascertaining the facts, I reserve the right to complain to you! ”

At this time, the policewoman in the reception area came to Tang Feng's side, looked at him seriously, and then said in an excited tone: "Sir, although I still can't believe that you killed the crocodile, what you said made me a little shaken. ”

"If you really are that warrior, I will solemnly apologize to you, and now please tell me the phone number of George and Dr. Robin, and I will verify with them what you said."

After saying that, he turned to the white policeman and said, "Thank you, Jack, it's none of your business here, give him to me." ”

Jack seemed a little uneasy, and asked worriedly, "Annie, don't hold on, let me come." ”

The policewoman waved her hand, took a deep breath, and replied, "I'm fine, I must deal with this matter personally." ”

"By the way, Jack, help me inform Cook and Brand so that they can get back as soon as possible, no matter where they are."

Jack didn't force it anymore but got out of the way, let the policewoman take Tang Feng to an interrogation room, and then went straight to the sheriff's office on the third floor.

When she arrived at the interrogation room, the policewoman Annie only verified the basic information, and then left with the phone number written by Tang Feng, leaving him there alone.

After about ten minutes, Anne returned to the interrogation room, followed by a stout white man, who was not wearing a police uniform, but who was obviously also a police officer, and the police badge was very conspicuous on his belt.

Anne opened Tang Feng's handcuffs, and then sat opposite Tang Feng with the white man, and ordered him a cup of coffee, but no one spoke, and the scene was a little embarrassing.

Through their actions, Tang Feng knew that they must have verified the truth of the matter, so he leisurely drank coffee while calculating his gains and losses in his heart.

"The bounty must be obtained, and so must the apology!"

"I'll have to pay attention to my tone later, and I'll have to convince them to introduce me to the director, so that I can have a chance to get the director to agree to my shooting plan."
