"It's my pleasure to know you, Mr. Li!" Zhong Fang spoke English, and speaking Cantonese with a ghost guy made him feel uncomfortable. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Li Wei respected his habits, began to communicate with him in English, and asked him about his study in the UK, and he answered with a straight look, this is a serious and rigorous young man.

Li Wei also became serious, he was worried that joking would cause the other party's disgust, so he didn't rush to invite the other party, and it was not too late to wait for a few days to get acquainted.

Daniel knew that there was an accident in Li Wei's family, and quickly brought the topic to this matter, Li Wei only said that the trouble had been solved and could start work normally, but Daniel didn't ask much.

As for the 1,000 dollars borrowed, Li Wei didn't spend it, but he didn't want to pay Daniel back, he was in urgent need of money right now, as long as Daniel didn't ask him for the debt, he wouldn't take the initiative to bring it up.

After a day in the restaurant, Daniel called Li Wei to his side after work and explained: "Will, David is coming to the United States for the first time, in addition to visiting relatives, he also wants to travel to Hollywood, and he should be accompanied by me, but you know, I don't often leave Chinatown and am not familiar with Hollywood, so I want to ask you to be his guide in the next few days and take him to Hollywood to see!" ”

Li Wei couldn't wait to be up to this errand, but he said with an embarrassed face: "Daniel, I owe you money, and I have to go to work to pay off the debt!" ”

"Talking about money hurts friendship!" Daniel was very upset and said angrily, "Am I going to treat you badly, Will?" You just have to accompany David these days, I will pay you double your salary, and you don't have to worry about repaying that debt, when you leave your job, let's settle the bill! ”

Of course, Li Wei would not refuse, and immediately said: "Daniel, there is an old saying in our hometown, it is called the grace of a drop of water when a spring is reciprocated, you see, I promise to let David spend the past few days comfortably!" ”

After that, he went upstairs to the restaurant to look for David.

"Idiot!" Daniel was inexplicable, touching his head and muttering, "Who is from the same hometown as you?" ”

With the boss's approval, Li Wei didn't have to go to work anymore, and took Zhong Fang out early the next morning and went straight to Hollywood.

Sitting in the taxi, Li Wei was more excited than Zhong Fang because it was his first visit to Hollywood after being reborn.

They get off the bus on the famous Walk of Fame, which is a mecca for any filmmaker.

At the heart of the shrine is the China Centre for the Performing Arts, which has hosted many Oscars since its opening in 1927 until 2002, when the adjacent Kodak Theatre took over the hosting rights.

On the concrete floor in front of the Chinese Theater are the handprints, footprints and signatures of the world's best filmmakers, which are the highest honor and eternal memory of filmmakers.

It's also where dreams take off!

"I'm going to make a name here!"

Li Wei looked at the starry light all over the ground, and suddenly shouted, causing the surrounding tourists to flank, Zhong Fang next to him immediately walked a little farther, and silently confided in the pedestrians around him with his eyes, "I'm not familiar with him!" ”

After walking around the Avenue of Fame for a long time, Zhong Fang wanted to see the famous Beverly Hills, and Li Wei took him into Sunset Boulevard, which connects Hollywood and Beverly Hills.

This villa is a small city, inhabited by the world's film and television sports superstars and chaebol tycoons, all luxury villas are built in the woods halfway up the mountainside, merchants keep an eye on the money bags of these rich people, and the streets below the villa are home to the top international luxury brands, among which Rodeo Drive is the most famous, which is the most expensive shopping avenue in the world.

There is a sightseeing tram on Rodeo Avenue, which can take tourists to the celebrity residential area on the mountain, and visit the famous buildings and landmarks of the mountain villa, Li Wei felt that the speed was too slow, so he took Zhong Fang to take a taxi up the mountain, the driver was a middle-aged black man, very familiar with the route of the mountain villa, and talked about the privacy and anecdotes of Hollywood stars.

"Hi guys, there's Godfather Robert there. De Niro, he's a great guy, but he's more serious! The building next to it belonged to the old gentleman Sean. Connery's home, I greeted him, but unfortunately he didn't pay attention to me, it's hard to imagine, I think he's a rude person! ”

The middle-aged black man talked to himself, he could call out the name of the owner every time he passed by a villa, and when he saw a black villa, he suddenly exclaimed: "Oh, do you know who lives here, Bruce. Willis! I love him so much, his "Die Hard 2" has sold for $100 million, he is the most famous action superstar in Hollywood right now, and I can guarantee that he will surpass Arnold in his future achievements. Schwarzenegger! But ......"

The middle-aged black man turned his head with a smirk on his face, and said mysteriously to Li Wei and the others in the back seat: "I'll tell you all the secrets, Bruce. Willis could be gay, really, I've seen young boys brought home by him, hehe, you don't have to guess what he's going to do! ”

Li Wei listened impatiently, and urged him: "Sir, we are going up the mountain to see beautiful women, please go around the home of the female star, ok?" ”

"No problem!" The middle-aged black man stepped on the accelerator and sped up, but his mouth couldn't be idle at all, "Boy, do you know who the most popular female star is now?" Julia. Roberts, her new film "Pretty Woman" this year sold 170 million ......"

At this point, the middle-aged black man's voice stopped abruptly, and he hung his head and glanced at a villa surrounded by acres of lawn, "God, you're in luck, it's not Julia. Ms. Roberts? ”

What kind of eyes did Li Wei have, he had already seen a tall girl standing in front of the villa, with a cigarette in her mouth and a phone in her ear, and she didn't know who she was chatting with.

At this time, Roberts was at the age of popularity, and as soon as "Pretty Woman" came out, she had the strength to attack the first sister in Hollywood, and no one would shake her status for the next 20 years.
