When he returned home, the eastern sky had turned out a hint of fish belly white, but Murphy did not feel sleepy, went to the studio to open the laptop, took the car police receiver taken back from the car, and looked through the instructions stored on the computer, as well as the police code of the Los Angeles police.

The memory left by the previous Murphy told him that it was an indispensable tool to make money as a freelance journalist.

In the event of an emergency, the police receiver captures every open contact of the Los Angeles police.

For example, in last night's car accident, if someone called the police at that time, the police's control platform would call the on-board receiver and contact the nearest police officer to get them to the scene as quickly as possible.

With this police receiver, Murphy was able to receive similar messages, pick the type he wanted, and rush over to shoot.

However, the police often use codes, and people who don't understand them don't understand it at all.

And the predecessor is also a good person, and the laptop has a detailed record of the type of police code used by the Los Angeles Police and the meaning it represents.

For example, 148 incidents represent resisting arrest, 187 incidents represent homicides, 211 incidents represent armed robbery, and so on......

After looking through the police code and studying the use of the police receiver for a while, Murphy finally couldn't help but fight up and down, and went to sleep in another room.

After sleeping until mid-afternoon, he went downstairs to buy some quick food and finished eating, and Murphy returned to the dilapidated building, sat down in front of his laptop, and concentrated on the keyboard, continuing to refine the script he had been writing for a long time.

Even though he knew that the possibility of the newcomer's new script being sold was infinitely low, Murphy did not give up hope.

In the following half a month, Murphy quit his job in the auto repair shop, and his life was divided into two parts, after dinner, he drove off with a portable camera and a police receiver, circled around West Hollywood, Beverly Hills and Santa Monica, looking for any valuable news clues, as long as he got useful information from the police receiver, he would rush to the scene of the incident as quickly as possible to shoot, the previous Murphy's familiarity with the entire Los Angeles area played an extremely important role.

On the other hand, after returning to his shabby apartment in the wee hours of the morning, Murphy would sleep first, wake up in the afternoon and polish the script or check the job advertisement, not missing any chance to actually enter Hollywood.

Maybe it's time to run, or maybe it's a job that doesn't have to look at other people's faces is more suitable for him, Murphy's work life in the past ten days has been much smoother than before, and he has shot nearly 20 videos of car accidents, fires, brawls, etc., most of which have been successfully sold to Fox Los Angeles Local Channel's Channel 6.

In particular, he was lucky enough to photograph Madonna in West Hollywood? Siconi and British director Gai? The video of Richie's date was introduced by Carla and sold to Fox TV's entertainment channel, earning him $3,000.

With a relatively stable source of income, Murphy first paid off his debts, returned the car, borrowed mobile phone and dollars to Rose, and then bought a replacement for himself from the second-hand market, especially the second-hand Ford sedan he bought, and specially modified a mount in the passenger seat to place a camera, so that he could shoot while driving.

Then he printed multiple copies of the two scripts and mailed them to the six major Hollywood companies, as well as dozens of other film companies and studios, but there were no surprises, and he did not receive any reply for the time being.

In addition, Murphy has also interviewed many crews, but they are not very ideal, and he has a problem with a British director's head and a criminal record, which makes these crews dare not use him lightly.

Nearly a month after his release from prison, Murphy has managed to solve basic survival problems, but entering Hollywood is still at the level of dreams.

It was a hot and dry month in Los Angeles in August, and even though the sun had deflected over the sea, the temperature was still frighteningly high, and Murphy parked his car next to the Santa Monica Esplanade, where the sea breeze blew in through the open windows, bringing a rare touch of coolness.

Looking at the time, Murphy picked up his phone and dialed a number again.

"Hello ......"

Unlike the busy tone ten minutes ago, a formulaic voice sounded inside, "This is the Twentieth Century Fox editorial department." ”

"Excuse me, I'm a screenwriter." Murphy said as simply as possible, "My name is Murphy Stanton, I'm a screenwriter, and I sent you a script to ask you about the results of your review. ”

"Thank you for your support of Twentieth Century Fox."

The voice in the earpiece was very polite and very calm, "Sir, we will contact you after reading your script." ”

Murphy wanted to say something, but the other party said a few more words very politely and politely, and then hung up the phone.

"Again!"

The phone was thrown into the passenger seat, and Murphy was somewhat unhappy, "Why are all film companies like this?" ”

The person just now didn't even ask the name of the script he submitted!

One day today, Murphy, who had been waiting a little anxious recently, called a number of film companies, and the answer he got was much the same as just now, the person who answered the phone was very polite, and the words he said were like routine.

Looking at the sun in the west getting closer and closer to sea level, Murphy let out a long sigh, basically sure that the road of submitting the script is very unreliable, and the chance of the newcomer's new script being activated will not be greater than the millions of dollars in the lottery ticket himself.

With no connections, no money, no fame, and no capital that can be used, even if a person with such a special experience as himself wants to shine in the extremely realistic circle of Hollywood in a short period of time, the difficulty cannot be described at an epic level.

A newcomer's script has attracted countless people and companies to compete for, is there a more ridiculous joke than this?

At this point, Murphy basically gave up the idea of relying on the script for quick success, and the idea of moving forward step by step became more and more determined.

The sun finally fell into the sea, and after a brief dinner outside, Murphy returned to the car, turned on the police receiver, and sifted through the police signals for useful information as he had done in the past, but tonight was not very lucky, until it was completely dark, and he did not get any valuable clues.

Starting the car, Murphy drove towards the Santa Monica Valley, the security in the United States is really bad, but it is in the downtown area, like Santa Monica and West Hollywood, the police pay attention to Cheng dù and arrange the police force, much better than the Latin community or the black community.

The security of the rich areas is getting better and the slums are getting worse and worse, which is what Murphyton Guò has learned from his field experience.

But unless there are mass fires or serial killings in the slums, the news there is not much value, and the general public likes to see the counter-elite culture and psychology of the elite or the plutocrats, as in any other country in the world.

It's just that the law and order in the wealthy areas has improved, so that such news appears less and less often on television, but it also highlights the value of Murphy's work, after all, scarcity can sell at a high price.

Since the first video was sold, Murphy has spent most of his work time in wealthy neighborhoods relatively close to the sea and valleys, rarely rushing to the city center, if there is an emergency.

The Ford sedan sped east along Santa Monica Seventh Street, Murphy's eyes were fixed ahead, his ears catching every sound from the police receiver, perhaps the luck of the last month had run out, until he circled Santa Monica without any information worth rushing to shoot.

As the night gets darker and darker, this is the bustling city of Santa Monica, and the traffic on the street is not decreasing, but increasing, and Murphy deliberately goes to the streets lined with bars and nightclubs, hoping to be lucky enough to encounter Hollywood stars drunk and messing around.

Although Santa Monica is home to many Hollywood stars, such good things don't happen every day, and Murphy has to leave here to try his luck in the Santa Monica Valley.

Santa Monica Valley is populated by people with a lot of money, and people like Murphy who want to buy a property here don't even think about it anytime soon.

Murphy drove slowly along the main road, and the whole valley seemed unusually quiet, and the average person would like the quietness here, but he would not.

"Something should happen soon, even if it's a burglary."

Controlling the steering wheel, Murphy kept talking to himself in the car, hoping that something unexpected or violent would happen in this quiet residential area, so that he could shoot something valuable, at least to earn back the gas money tonight.

Buying this second-hand Ford, the cost of modifying the co-pilot camera mount, plus finding a lawyer for himself, Murphy actually doesn't have much money, people are poor and short-sighted, in a situation like him, the most urgent thing is undoubtedly to make another sum of money quickly to avoid sitting on a mountain of empty food.

It backfired, and until the time it was about to drive out of the Santa Monica Valley, the police receiver did not send any valuable clues, but a vehicle in the West Hollywood area crashed into a street lamp, and the police command station summoned a nearby patrol police car to hurry over.

Murphy couldn't help but step on the gas pedal and prepare to go over, after all, it was not very far away, and if he passed in time, he might be able to take a valuable picture, at least he could come back in exchange for some gas money.

Just as Murphy stepped on the accelerator and the car just picked up speed, a rapid female voice suddenly sounded from the on-board police receiver.

"All units located in Santa Monica, 17 Bill Road Residence in the Valley District 211 incident! Repeat, this is the 211 incident ......"

Hearing this, Murphy didn't think about it, immediately stepped on the brakes and turned around, and the car rushed towards the road from which he came at a much faster speed than just now.

Beale Road wasn't far from the main road he was driving on, only three junctions.

The Ford sedan was like a black lightning bolt, and Murphy, who was driving, was not only in good spirits, but also obviously a little excited.

The 211 incident meant armed robbery, and if he remembered correctly, the people living near Beale Road in the Valley District were very wealthy.

What kind of big price can the news of armed robbery of extremely wealthy people sell for?
