After sorting out all the details of the filming, Li Wei's eyelids couldn't open, lying on the desk and snoring to sleep, in the dream he returned to his hometown in his previous life, a quiet village in an ancient country on the other side of the Atlantic.
Yes, he is a time-traveling person, and it was a very grotesque experience for him, and it was very exciting.
He lived in his previous life in his thirties, born as a hard-working person, without much culture, thirteen or fourteen ran to a martial arts school near the Shaolin Temple to join relatives, and worked as a cook, during which he secretly learned kung fu for a few years, and then a senior brother in the martial arts school mixed with martial arts instructors, and was met by him when he came back to show off, and also entered the showbiz under the red eyes, first as a group performance in Hengdian, and slowly struggled to become a martial arts stand-in, but he was never famous, his only miracle in this young half of his life is to do martial arts for an international superstar, but there was an accident, Drowning while filming a high-risk scene of a sea chase.
It is also possible that he was killed by the explosion, and that scene required a lot of blasting, and he was unconscious before he fell into the water, and he can't remember exactly how he died.
If he said that he should be reincarnated after he died, he sent a ghost to possess a ghost, and he almost went insane.
Fortunately, this ghost guy is only nineteen years old, and his body is very young, which is a good capital, and he can barely comfort himself.
In fact, this ghost guy didn't have a good life, he was born soon after his parents divorced, and he was fostered in his grandmother's house in Austin, Texas since he was a child, his grandmother was Latin, so he could speak fluent Spanish, but this specialty didn't help him much, he was a problem teenager, he set fire to the library during middle school, although it was a stupid thing that he did unintentionally, he was still sent to a juvenile detention center, and after he came out, he didn't do his job, in order to earn money to support himself, he went to Hollywood and became a stripper.
By the way, this ghost's father is an undisciplined gambler, and his mother is a dancer who has inherited the family's traditional profession.
Counting the days, today is exactly a month after Li Wei crossed, he has quit the coquettish job of selling his body, and won a position as a waiter in a Chinese restaurant in the downtown Chinatown with fluent Chinese, with a salary of two hundred dollars a week, plus tips can earn about two thousand a month.
This is Los Angeles in 1990, the city of angels who are drunk and gold-obsessed, and the northwest suburbs are Hollywood, a materialistic and sexy place, where thousands of young people come every year to find opportunities to become famous, dreaming of superstars, famous directors, ace agents, and eight major film executives.
Li Wei was in the entertainment industry in his previous life, and he is not ready to change careers after being reborn, he has done a lot of drifting north, and he doesn't mind doing Hollywood drifting again, he has a clear picture of many Hollywood blockbusters in the next twenty or thirty years in his mind, he wants to convert this advantage into dollars, he wants to become famous, this is his dream.
He slept heavily and intoxicated to-day, and he was rolling the sheets with some blonde and blue-eyed girl in his dream, when a sharp knock on the door suddenly woke him up.
When he got up, he opened the door in a daze, rubbed his eyes, and his face immediately darkened.
In front of the door stood a white woman, in her forties, with a pair of blue eyes that looked panicked, and said eagerly: "Will, something happened to your father!" ”
"How did you find here?" Li Wei was indifferent, asked a little indifferently, and at the same time as he spoke, he had turned back to the bedroom and began to dress, this woman was his stepmother, Mrs. Vicky, who had been married to his father for more than ten years, gave birth to a daughter, lived in Highland Heights, Los Angeles County, about an hour away from downtown Los Angeles, and came to him late at night, there must have been a big change in the family.
"I contacted your grandmother and she told me your address!" Mrs. Vicky followed behind Li Wei and began to sobb quietly.
Li Wei took a tissue in his hand, handed it over, and asked, "Is he in debt again?" ”
"And I was beaten!" Mrs. Vicky said with a desperate face: "He was caught in the casino, beaten by Old Brown's men for half an hour, seriously injured his brain, and was rescued in the hospital for half a day before he passed the dangerous period!" ”
Li Wei frowned, his cheap father is not a good bird, not only loves to gamble, but also drinks heavily, often beats his wife, his mother Laura was beaten away, in fact, his father is a construction worker, the income is still good, if he is not contaminated with vices, the family will definitely not be bad.
Mrs. Vicky is a new immigrant from Eastern Europe, with no higher education and no skills, after marrying Li Wei's father, she became a housewife, and has never been an assertive person, she continued to cry: "Your father's gambling money is provided by Old Brown, and there are 30,000 US dollars in total, and the family has no savings, but Old Brown only gave me three days to raise money, I really have no choice!" ”
"Thirty thousand dollars!" Li Wei had already walked to the door, and wanted to follow Mrs. Vicky home to visit his father, but when he heard this, he suddenly stopped, shook his head, and said, "I have no money!" ”
He has only saved $800 so far, and if he really has 30,000 dollars, he will definitely use it to make movies, and he can't fill this bottomless pit by saying anything.
Mrs. Vicky was stunned for a moment, and said tremblingly: "Old Brown is a mafia, if he can't give him the money, he is afraid that he will take Susan, poor Susan, she is only thirteen years old, is she going to be forced to be a. Son! ”
She was excited, and her voice seemed a little sharp.
Li Wei was stabbed for a while, he received all the memories of the original owner of this body, and knew who old Brown was, not much of a powerful mafia, just the leader of a local gang of underworld forces, who opened a private gambling stall and also engaged in loan shark business.
You must know that no matter in which country, gamblers are the banker's ATM, if you borrow the banker's money to gamble, you will definitely fall deeper and deeper, until the family is ruined, it is impossible to turn over, even if you quit gambling, the banker's usury you never want to pay off.
Li Wei is not hard-hearted, Susan is his nominal sister after all, he can't do something to stand by, but he also has no ability to overcome this difficulty now, so he said to Mrs. Vicky: "Amphia, my savings are only eight hundred dollars, and they can be handed over to you, but there is only so much I can do!" ”
"Will, can you ...... Ask your mom to borrow money, and she'll be willing to help you! Mrs. Vicky's voice became quieter and quieter, and it was a bit unreasonable to ask her stepson to go to her husband's ex-wife to borrow money.
"Holy!" Li Wei was speechless, he really couldn't resist the thinking of the American people!
"My mother ......" Li Wei said angrily: "Yes, she has no other children, and her work income is a little higher, but she is not without pressure, my grandmother is paralyzed, and she needs to take out the money to ask a nanny to take care of her, if she lends me the money, she can only take my grandmother to perform on stage, and her boss will definitely fire her without hesitation!" ”
Mrs. Vicky no longer fought for it, and she had no hope for the idea, and she began to sigh with sorrow.
It's not a bad-hearted woman, it's just a little selfish, Li Wei didn't blame her for being open-mouthed, and suggested: "My father's boss George is also from Texas, and he has hired my father for twenty years, so he should help us, and my uncle is also in Los Angeles, you can ask them......"
"They're all misers!" Mrs. Vicky almost jumped to her feet, and said angrily, "I have already sought out George, but he has driven me out like a fly, and has not borrowed a penny, and said that he will fire your father, and God will curse him if he has forgotten all the friendship you have followed for twenty years!" As for your uncle, Will, that's a bastard who sells dubars, and no one will count on him! ”
Li Weimo was silent, and said in his heart that if he was not reborn, this ghost guy might not be the person to be counted on!
Everything in this family smells of failure, Li Wei feels depressed, he has been facing this matter with the mentality of a bystander before, but now he has sensed the crisis, he can't solve his father's debt, he doesn't want to fight for his career with peace of mind in the future.
Thinking of this, Li Wei made a decisive decision, and said to Mrs. Vicky: "This way, tomorrow I will go back with you, and I will go to George and my uncle to talk again!" ”
Mrs. Vicky only then noticed that the stepson in front of her was a little different, from the moment he entered the door, he behaved very calmly, without concealing his sense of responsibility, giving people a strong sense of security, is this really the manic, paranoid and violent troublemaker she is familiar with?
Before coming here, Mrs. Vicky was ready to be abused and then expelled by her stepson, and she did not expect such a surprising result.
"Will, you've grown up and you're a man!" Mrs. Vicky smiled for the first time, held Li Wei's face and said, "I love you, child!" Ever since I married your father, I have been bent on replacing your mother, Laura, and loving you as much as she does......"
"You must not do that!" Li Wei pursed his lips and interrupted: "My mother hates me, every time I go to her, I can see the disgust in her eyes, and she won't even smile at me!" ”
Li Wei is not making up nonsense, this ghost retained his hatred for Laura in his memory, the reason is that Laura doesn't pay attention to him, "Of course, if I go to her every time I don't ask her for money, maybe she will be kind to me!" ”
When Mrs. Vicky heard this, she lowered her hand a little embarrassed, and just now she also encouraged Li Wei to go to Laura to borrow money, which made her feel a little guilty.
