Chapter 21: Indiana's Old Friends

β€œduang……”

The door closed, and Smith looked at Sean inside through the thickened glass, "Get a good night's sleep, and I'll come back to see you tomorrow when the results come out." With that, the old black man turned around and left.

Sean stood in front of the iron door and looked at the detention cell in Hollywood, Los Angeles.

The room is very simple, with a water dispenser, a flush toilet, and two rows of benches (fixed to the ground) that seem to be for people to lie down and rest. The surrounding walls are plain white and look drab, and there is nothing in the room that can be moved.

In the corner, there are cameras that monitor the place.

This is the detention chamber in most American cities. As for some small places, it may be a little worse, but it must be a room in the police station.

Even if they are locked up here, they have their own due desires, dignity and independent personality.

Even if it is a crime, it can be a loss of freedom, but it will never be dignity and personality. They have a very user-friendly design and the protection of the basic rights of the individual.

The United States has strict judicial procedures and legal oversight.

When Simpson, the famous wife murder case, took place in California, and when Simpson, the football star, was tried in court, 150 million people in the United States, from the president to the people, stopped their work to watch the trial.

At that time, the evidence was conclusive, but several of Simpson's barristers just seized the time when the police arrived at the scene and the time when the police got the blood stains on the socks were dry, or there were procedural flaws. With this flaw, defeat turned into victory in the end.

This also caused an uproar and a deep shock to the whole United States.

But it also respects the seriousness of the judiciary in the United States.

Later, of course, the guy smashed a small museum in Las Vegas that displayed his belongings and took the football that belonged to him. Caught by the people of the United States.

The judge sentenced him to 33 years in prison without bail.

It's procedural justice in the United States.

I guess that guy won't be able to get out until his teeth are gone.

Killing his wife escaped because of a flawed judicial process, but he was killed because he robbed a few football balls of his own, which is the law of the United States.

Anyway, on the first day of Shaun's visit to Los Angeles, in addition to experiencing the Los Angeles Strip and Beverly Hills, he also felt the Los Angeles police department.

"Have a cup of coffee." Sean lay on the bench, knocked on the door, and called for a police takeaway.

After a while, a man who often walked in with coffee, "Need sugar cubes?" Brought you a few. Don't knock on the camera if you need to. Just call me and you're fine. I can hear you. ”

"Thank you. In that case, why don't you order me a takeaway, 2 In-N-OutBurger classic burger sets, soft drinks and ice. Sean got up from the bench and gestured outside, "Also, I need a phone call." ”

"Okay, the takeout will be ordered for you, but In-N-OutBurger may not be satisfied, I suggest you can change the store, it's too busy there, maybe the phone can't get through." I'll help you choose one. I won't lie to your buddy......"

The policeman shrugged his shoulders in regret, then handed the handcuffs to Sean and motioned for him to cuff them, "As for making phone calls, of course it's fine, just put this on, man, just come out with me." But you have to pay for the phone bill......"

Handcuffed, Sean walked out of the detention cell.

"Toot-toot-"

Sean looked at the phone numbers on the sticky notes, which were several agents that Nicholas had introduced to him. If you want to make it in Hollywood, you have to have an agent to help you with things you can't do.

"Hey, hello, I'm Sean Rodriguez...... I'm in the police station now...... Shet! Hang me up! ”

"I think you can come...... Toot - Toot ......"

"Hello, I'm looking for an agent, Nicolas Cage introduces you...... Oh, who am I? Shet, I'm certainly not Leonardo...... I mean...... Feed! Feed? ”

"Sir, listen to me, I'm not a salesman selling products, bastard, you go to death!"

"Mr. Simmons, uh...... Sorry to bother you, it seems that you are not very convenient now! ”

Listening to the sound of the woman calling the bed on the phone, Sean awkwardly glanced at the policeman next to him who was reading the newspaper and drinking coffee, but the other party shrugged his shoulders with a smile and continued to read the newspaper.

"Smack!"

Sean hung up the phone, looked at the name and phone number that was crossed out by himself at the end on the note, and smiled helplessly. The names and numbers that were crossed out one after another proved what a stupid thing he had done.

"Man, there are countless people in Hollywood who dream of stardom every day, I used to be an errand boy in New York, and I came to Hollywood to try my luck just like you."

The voice of the police rang out.

"But you've seen it now, sitting in an office, drinking coffee, reading the newspaper, it's a little more realistic than having those boring dreams. At least in this case, I don't have to worry about my child's support and tomorrow's insurance money! ”

The policeman put down the newspaper and showed a mocking look, "Do you think that with your words, you can get those 10% gentlemen to sign you?" Oh, those guys are all vampires who can't afford to make a profit. If you still have these people on the phone left, I advise you to save money on your phone bill. ”

"You're right......"

Sean collected his coins and tossed the notes in the trash.

I can only say sorry to Nicolas Cage in my heart.

Obviously, he has failed the other party's kindness.

These agents introduced by Nicholas are all well-known big-name agents, but Sean forgot that since the other party is a big-name agent, how can he be interested in his little person?

Perhaps they get countless calls every day to sell themselves like this, and Sean is just one of them. It's still the unlucky one!

They don't pay attention to nobodies like Sean.

Pursue the footsteps of the successful and trample the backs of the losers.

That's what Hollywood agents are! It's also their way of survival!

Some people say: if you are a superstar, they will kneel and lick the surface of your feet; But if you're nothing, they'll choose to turn a blind eye.

The cruel law of the jungle, a money-oriented society where profit is paramount.

Sean leaned back in his chair, his hands hanging between his legs, his eyes half-squinted.

Looking out the window, I watched the originally clear sky become dark, and after a while, the rain began to fall.

On a cold rainy night, sitting alone on a bench, the sound of the rain ticking and the sound of the wall clock outside the iron gate are intertwined, time is covered by the rain, and I am sitting alone in a lonely space at this time.

The incandescent lamps are cold, the rain is cool, and it is cold and cool to be alone.

There is only a pair of eyes, shining with flames, driving away all negative energy.

When a ray of sunlight drove away the dampness and shone through the window on Sean's face, the sunlight made contact with his eyes, and the eyes were so bright, but there was a deep hidden in the pupils, and a flame was imprinted in the pupils.

It was the rising sun, the scorching glow of California!

That's right, Sean sat all night, didn't sleep, didn't think about anything, just sat like that.

Empty yourself, precipitate yourself!

"Lucky for you, Mr. Cross, we developed your photos and found that you are indeed innocent as you say......"

Just when Sean was bored, the old black man from Smith walked in with a few photos with a smile, looked at the photos, and teased with a smile, "Seriously, your level of photography is good, but the level of selfies is really bad, so I suggest you better shoot the scenery." ”

Glancing at the smiling face of the old black man Smith who walked in, Sean shrugged his shoulders and didn't care, "So I can leave?" ”

"Of course, by the way, I also washed a few more for you to keep as a souvenir."

Sheriff Smith said as he handed Sean a stack of photos taken yesterday.

Standing in front of the Chinese theater, Sean is so conspicuous with his V-shaped hand.

"I wasn't on the picture, I wanted to know what was going on with those two bastards who came over and snatched my picture. At the very least, I need to know who caused me to stay in my cell all night. Sean looked at Smith in a stiff tone.

After sitting all night, Sean can feel the power of Hollywood power!

"You know, someone who can afford to dress a bodyguard in Armani is not a small person. Their lawyer is still trying to sue you for overdoing your defense! Smith didn't answer.

"I just want to know who's behind it!" Sean said coldly.

"Those two guys insisted that you were the first to do it!"

Smith smiled, pressed his hand, and signaled Sean, whose face had changed drastically, not to get excited, "But don't worry, we found an eyewitness at the time." It can be proved that they came and made the first move. Now they face being prosecuted. If you have any requests, please let me know. ”

"Who is it?" Sean stared at Smith unmoved.

"Now those two bodyguards admit that they deliberately found fault because they were unhappy with you. Nothing else. As for where they came from...... They're affiliated with a security company, that's all we know. Some things are better off not thinking too much......"

Smith smiled and patted Sean on the shoulder, and pointed to the photos scattered on the chair, "Remember to send a photo to Mr. Close Sr. and Pirlo, that picture of a V-shaped hand is pretty good." The last time I went to the farm to have a drink with Pirlo, Old Cross mentioned you. You have...... I haven't been back for 2 years, have you? ”

Looking at the photo of the cool V-shaped hand in front of the Chinese theater, Sean was stunned and looked at the old-looking black old man in front of him in surprise, "You know my family?" ”

"Hehe, the year after Pirlo and I came back from Vietnam, he married your mother, and then the next year he had you - Sean Rodriguez Cross!"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Sean looked at the old man Smith incredulously, shook his head and said, "I always thought you were seventy or eighty years old, and you actually participated in the Vietnam War with my father?" It's incredible, no wonder the U.S. military loses the war. I thought the reason for the loss was only because there were soldiers of Italian origin like Pirlo, but I didn't expect the American army to have old men...... The quality of this soldier seems to determine the result......"

"Shet! I'm not an old man in my seventies or eighties, but I'm just a little mature. I'm 3 years younger than Pirlo. I'm just 45 years old this year! ”

Smith glared at Sean in annoyance, exasperated, "Also, I'm also Italian!" What happened to the Italian soldiers? Shet, you're also of Italian descent! We are not the Italian army raised in the last century! We are all American GIs! ”

"Okay......"

Sean thinks about the unit he serves, and he is also an American GI.

Still, he decided not to argue with the old man in front of him about the bad reputation of the Italian army.

It doesn't matter why a black person is also Italian. Of course, there will be no talk about the bad performance of American GIs in Vietnam.

Sean didn't suspect that Smith was a friend of his father's friend, he was able to name his family, and then he knew his father's experience in the Vietnam War, obviously this Smith was indeed his father's friend at the beginning.

And no one would pretend to be their daddy's friend, right? Thinking about his father's assets, Sean thought faintly.

"Sean, I know what your dreams are, but I'm going to tell you......" Sending Sean to the door of the police station, Smith called out to Sean.

"If you want to persuade me to give up, take back your words, Smith......" Sean interrupted with a faint smile as he looked at the older-looking black sheriff in front of him.

β€œNO! If there are no dreams, then what is the value of people? Dreams are everyone's right. If Pirlo hadn't been because of ......"

At this point, Smithton paused, obviously not wanting to continue the conversation, "Don't talk about that." I just wanted to tell you. In Hollywood, you have to follow the rules here. The rules of the game are not to be trampled on. ”

"When you don't have the strength, don't try to challenge the big guys! I've seen so many heads bleeding out of the city, and there are so many stories like that, I mean countless! ”

Sheriff Smith looked serious and had something to say.

Listening to the other party's advice, Sean smiled confidently and pointed to his chest, "Smith, maybe I'll have a bloody head, but I'll never get out of Los Angeles." Becauseβ€”"

"I'm Sean!"

Sean is so confident. Although he told Duke that he would go back to San Francisco if he didn't get along. But Sean knew himself.

Since you are here, you can only go out in a dignified manner, and there is absolutely no butt urine flowing out.

Six feet and two inches, can only stand, will not lie down!

Is it arrogant? No, men never bother with their!

No one likes to be fucked-ass! Sean only loves to fuck beautiful ass !

So, for today's incident, Sean will take revenge one day! That soft-egg with the Aston Martin!

Looking at his confident, arrogant back, Smith stood on the steps, and his mind couldn't help but think of his old Indiana friend.

"What a paranoid guy carved out of a mold!"

Sean didn't look back at Smith's look of remembrance.

Even though it was a heavy rain last night, the sun was still shining today! The sun will always rise!

Picked up his car at the hotel, and Sean bought a map of Hollywood. A map of West Los Angeles to be exact.

There are quite a few studios there, and of course, countless people flock there every day to compete for that few opportunities.

Sean didn't bother to look for Nicolas Cage.

Self-esteem doesn't allow Sean to do that.

You can say I'm paranoid, I don't know how to lift, I don't know how to be flexible.

That's right, I'm such a person, I'm paranoid, I'm inflexible, I'm so ignorant.

Because I have a word called 'MAN' in my heart that tells me how I can do it!

Besides, Sean still has a plan, after honing himself, he will fly to Boston to talk to a bastard guy about him.

As for the guy who found a bodyguard to beat him, Sean naturally won't forget it.

But as Smith said. When you don't have the strength, don't think about it.

Anyway, those two bodyguards can't run away, and one day they will know which bastard instructed them!

PS: First of all, thank you for the big reward from huaku, which makes Lao Ye look a lot better on the reward list, hehe.

Also, filmmaker brothers, let's not forget to contribute to the box office! Although Sean is now mixed in the independent film circle, filmmakers should not forget our "box office" and recommend the box office!

Finally, thank you to Sakya as a film critic, well, we are all filmmakers. Sakya film critic's comment on the comment section, Lao Ye read it and replied. At the same time, I replied to the comments of all the film critics one by one.

As cultural people, as long as we don't engage in personal attacks or the like, comment on it, and Lao Ye will read and adopt it. After all, everyone gathers firewood and the flame is high, and your comments are also for the sake of making this movie better, right?

But there are some things that still can't be expressed in more than 20 chapters, and the reason why the plot of my book is a little slower is that I want to make the foreshadowing a little more.

Call on you, extra filmmakers, to contribute to our box office! Ask for votes!
