Chapter 17: Black and White

"The documentary plan has been drawn up and will be broadcast on Channel 6 first."

In the driving Audi, Kara Firth and Murphy talk about their recent work, "If the response is good enough, we will do our best to push it into the videotape and disc market." ”

"Sounds pretty good." Murphy leaned back on the passenger seat, and the fitted suit made him feel a little awkward, "Time waits for no one, and if the blacks are all scattered, the appeal of the documentary will also decrease." ”

Carla gave a thumbs up to this side, "You're getting more and more journalistic acumen. ”

"Thank you." Murphy replied casually, "I learned it from you." ”

Because the media has never given up the hype of this news event, coupled with the super sensitive glass heart of black people, although it has been some time since the original incident, the black protests in the Los Angeles area have not dissipated, but have begun to spread to the surrounding areas, and even some human rights organizations have joined in.

The two black men are criminals, but the criminals must also have human rights, and the so-called human rights organizations are all good at picking bones in eggs, especially if they are still blacks.

The media is also adding fuel to the fire, for fear that the news will not be big enough, and keep mentioning that if the target is white, will the police still shoot in the end?

The issue of the human rights of black people has once again been pushed to the forefront by the media with ulterior motives, and unlike the acclaimed mass shootings in the North Hollywood robbery two years ago, the Los Angeles police have come under tremendous pressure, and even several police officers involved in the roundup have been forced to go on leave.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Murphy in the co-pilot thoughtful, Carla couldn't help but ask, "Are you guilty?" ”

The two of them can be said to be the fuse of this incident, and it is they who opened this Pandora's box.

However, Carla has never regretted it, she has been chasing the big news that will make a national sensation, and the effect of this incident is exactly what she wants to see.

As for the methods used in the middle, Kara, who has been in journalism for many years, knows very well, which hot news is not behind it?

"Honey, you're kidding." Murphy had a look of complete confusion about what Kara was saying, "Did we do something?" ”

Even if she was driving, Carla couldn't help but turn her head to look at Murphy, and Murphy said calmly, "The ongoing protests in front of the Los Angeles City Hall and the Los Angeles County Police Department are because of the improper handling of the Los Angeles police and the psychological sensitivity of black people, what does it have to do with us?" ”

Hearing this, Carla Firth couldn't help but laugh, "It really has nothing to do with us. ”

She turned her head to look at Murphy again, and saw that the stiff side face was unusually calm, as if what had just been said was an undeniable fact.

"What are you looking at?" Murphy asked, turning his head.

Carla shrugged, "You're still handsome that looks like that." ”

There has never been a person who can make her feel so good for her spleen and stomach.

The Audi left the city and drove onto the avenue to Santa Monica, a junction in Karatong GuΓ², and suddenly thought of something else, "You have made a lot of money recently, why are you reluctant to get a new car for yourself, your Ford should be scrapped." ”

"It's good to be able to open it."

It was because the Ford was so worn out that Murphy got into Carla's car, "Every dollar I have is of great use, and I can't spend it casually." ”

Cara remembered some of what Murphy had said and asked, "Are you really planning to leave the industry?" ”

"Hmm." Murphy nodded, "It shouldn't be too long." ”

"It's a shame, you're a perfect fit for this job." Carla showed a somewhat regretful expression, the last month or so can be said to be the fastest rising stage of her career, and this is all because of this guy in the co-pilot, "Is there a plan?" ”

She knew a certain amount about Murphy and knew that if he didn't have ideas, he would definitely not act lightly.

"Of course, maybe I'll need your help then." Murphy paused, looked at the straight road ahead, and finally said, "I want to go to Hollywood and make a movie." ”

β€œWhatοΌŸβ€

After subconsciously asking this, Carla suddenly laughed, "You...... You're going to shoot a movie, Murphy, are you kidding? ”

Murphy shook his head seriously, "Of course not. ”

"How could you have such an idea." Carla turned her head to look at him again, her eyes full of incredulity, "You must be crazy to want to enter a completely unfamiliar industry." ”

Speaking of this, she suddenly accentuated her tone, "I almost forgot, you were originally a madman. ”

"Thank you."

This wasn't the first time that such words had jumped out of her mouth, and Murphy didn't mind, instead saying, "You know me best." ”

Indeed, without any qualifications or connections, you want to go to Hollywood to make a zuΓ² movie, which is not much different from a madman.

But Murphy has always sued himself that he used to be a madman, who threw away his job as an engineer and came to Los Angeles to become a director, and finally became a great success, not only winning the Oscar for Best Director, but also becoming the 'king of the world' who dominates the world at the box office of a single movie!

Yes, he can't compare to a true talent like James Cameron, but he's still willing to try.

Now he is only twenty-one years old, but he has just reached adulthood in the legal sense, and even if he fails, he has enough time and energy to find another way to go.

The Audi sedan gradually entered the Santa Monica range, and Carla drove directly towards the seaside villa.

"No wonder you set up a TV station to produce a documentary." She seems to have figured out a lot of things, "It turns out that I have long had the idea of entering the film industry. ”

The car was parked near a luxury villa, and Kara parked the car on the side of the road, beckoned Murphy to get out of the car, and walked towards the villa.

Murphy followed, "You look so beautiful today. ”

Carla wears a short dress from the corner of the skirt to above the knee, giving full play to the visual beauty brought by a pair of long legs, and the close-fitting design of the dress also highlights the graceful figure, coupled with a delicate face and permed blonde hair, in terms of appearance and temperament, it is definitely no less than those Hollywood actresses in Murphy's impression.

"Thank you." Kara glanced at Murphy in a well-fitting suit, tall and strong, and that kind of strong temperament seemed to emanate from the bones, and couldn't help but praise, "You look good too." ”

After speaking, she teased as she walked, "If you fail to enter Hollywood in the future, you can transfer to the San Fernando Valley, I believe that the directors there will definitely be interested in you." ”

Murphy shrugged, but didn't say anything.

Carla Firth naturally put her hand in the crook of the arm next to her, and Murphy turned her head to see that the woman in her high heels was almost as tall as him, and she looked like she stood out from the crowd.

Murphy was not used to these Western-style etiquette, but he could always adapt to it, so he walked into the door of the villa with Carla Firth in his arms, followed the direction pointed by the staff, and walked towards the back garden on the seaside side of the villa.

There were a lot of people walking by, and there were some vaguely familiar faces among them, Murphy couldn't remember it for a while, but the former Murphy was just a freelancer who didn't enter the stream, and now the people who can make him feel familiar should be some famous and famous people in the past.

From this point of view, the level of this pie that Carla Firth took him to was not low.

"What are you thinking?"

Ignoring the pervert-like man next to her, Kara leaned in and whispered, "Want to plan for the consequences of failure?" Don't worry, if you can't get along in the future, my door will always be open to you. ”

The tone of these words seemed casual, but Murphy could hear a little sincerity, such a woman could say such a thing, which was enough to show her recognition of herself.

"I will." Murphy suddenly remembered what Rose had said, and whispered, "By the way, a friend mentioned to me today that the victims and murderers of the Bill Road case may be drug dealers. ”

"What?" Carla Firth turned her head to look, "Reliable information?" ”

"It's reliable." Murphy shrugged, "He'd seen them before. ”

Kara frowned, "What kind of friends are you making?" ”

Murphy slowed down slightly, "My comrades-in-arms who I used to know in prison and fought side by side. ”

Hearing this, Kara Firth remembered that she was holding a person with a criminal record, and she couldn't help but slow down.

She comes from a wealthy background, is well-educated, has a decent job with unlimited potential, and is not at all from the same world as Murphy.

It's just that...... What this person shows is never that kind of vulgar little person.

Carla shook her head slightly, no longer thinking about it, and walked into the pie with Murphy in her arms.

It's a staggering pie with an entire backyard and an entire private beach, tens of thousands of square feet, and Murphy looks up to see hundreds of men and women dressed in fashion, and dozens of bikini girls hired by their owners on the beach.

Carla Firth was able to come here more because of the relationship with the TV station behind her, and she didn't know many people, and most of the people who introduced her to Murphy were also very strange.

However, Murphy still politely greeted them and greeted them, such a circle that he usually does not have access to, which is a good opportunity to expand his network.

Of course, Murphy wouldn't say he's a freelance journalist, and in Carla Firth's introduction, he's the chairman and president of Stanton Studios.

No one doubts, or is surprised, that there are countless such studios in the media and entertainment capital of Los Angeles.

But these people would not have imagined that Murphy was actually the only one in Stanton Studios, from management to employees.

After following Carla Firth on the pie, the two walked to the beach resting place, and were about to order something to sit down for a drink, when a black man suddenly walked over.

"Hello, pretty young lady."

The black man was very tall, "Can I have a drink with you?" ”

He seemed to be attracted by Carla Fez's excellent appearance, completely ignoring Murphy next to him.

And Murphy looked at the black man carefully, because against the background of Carla's snow-white skin, he was really very dark and very familiar.
