After Jiang Zhiqiang is done, Li Mingbao goes to Hollywood, and it can be said that everything is ready, and only Dongfeng is owed. And in the last period of time, Li Mingbao began to arrange for his family. said that it was arranged for the family, but in fact, the family was arranging for Li Mingbao.
To say that Li Mingbao is a kid, although he has also run around before, he has never run too far, but this time Li Mingbao is going to Hollywood, and his family is naturally worried. Although his father Li Guangxin didn't say it, he asked the third brother to arrange two uncles for Li Mingbao.
These two uncles are not simple characters, although they are not very old now, they are in their thirties, but they can rank among the top of most uncles in terms of military qualifications. The reason why these two people were arranged was that my father was worried that Li Mingbao would be in danger in the United States.
Although my father has never been to the United States, he also knows that guns are not banned in that part of the United States, and basically everyone will have a gun in their hands. Although not everyone likes to threaten people with guns, the gun is a murder weapon, and Li Mingbao is not an honest person, although there have been big changes recently, but his nature is not so easy to change.
Dad arranged two people, one is to be Li Mingbao's bodyguard, responsible for Li Mingbao's personal safety over there, and the other is to let these two uncles watch Li Mingbao a little, so that Li Mingbao will not get into trouble and go to the United States.
Compared with his father, who only silently arranged for Li Mingbao behind the scenes, Li Mingbao's two mothers revealed their thoughts in front of Li Mingbao. Although Aunt Yang Qing is not Li Mingbao's biological mother, her feelings for Li Mingbao are not fake, so before Li Mingbao leaves, she keeps cooking some delicious meals for Li Mingbao. According to Yang Qing, in that place in the United States, it is not easy to eat authentic Chinese food.
Li Mingbao didn't know how long he would have to stay there, but now he eats a little more hometown food, and he has something to remember when he went to the United States. And Li Mingbao's biological mother, Chen Qingmei, although she didn't make food for Li Mingbao, went to Wong Tai Sin to ask Li Mingbao for a peace charm. For her, as long as Li Mingbao is safe, whether she goes there to make money or not is actually secondary.
And the brothers naturally don't have so many complicated feelings about Li Mingbao going to the United States like the elders, and the eldest brother's instructions are just to let Li Mingbao pay more attention over there and not be too reckless. And the second brother directly asked Li Mingbao to bring back some professional books on film and television from Hollywood, which are not so easy to get in Hong Kong.
And the third brother and the fourth brother feel envious of Li Mingbao's trip to the United States, in their words, that is, Li Mingbao can go to the United States to play Yanmar, and it is too late to be happy, what is the sadness?
As for Li Mingbao's younger brother and sister, the two of them just expressed that American toys are not bad, and if Li Mingbao has free time, then they can get some back, and they will not be idle.
After handling the affairs in Hong Kong, Li Mingbao and Jiang Zhiqiang and their entourage finally flew to the United States by plane in early June. Since there is no direct flight from Hong Kong to Hollywood, Li Mingbao and his group of about 10 people had to fly from Hong Kong to Los Angeles to see the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles, then the Chinese theater, and then from Los Angeles to Hollywood.
Don't look at Hollywood, even if it is famous all over the world, it attracts people from all over the world every day, and the annual output value here is definitely not a small amount, even if it is only the early eighties, Hollywood has conquered Europe and the United States at this time.
It looks so high-end and high-end, but in fact, when Li Mingbao and his party really set foot in Hollywood, Li Mingbao felt that this place was a little unworthy of the name. The architecture here in Hollywood is not much different from the average American town.
In addition to the fact that there are more people, billboards that are more modern, and buildings that are more than ordinary American towns, it is difficult for Li Mingbao to connect the famous Hollywood with the place in front of him.
Jiang Zhiqiang was not surprised at this time: "Li Sheng, do you think this place is a little unworthy of the name?" When I first came, I also thought it was strange, how could Hollywood, which is so famous in the world, look like this? But after staying here for a long time, I don't think it's strange.
When Hollywood was founded, the place couldn't be called a village, and there weren't a hundred people living here. And now it's the size of a small town, which is pretty good. Besides, this is just a place where everyone shoots movies, and now that many companies have moved out, the real place to rest is actually elsewhere, anyway, the roads in this part of the United States are everywhere, from Hollywood to the place of rest, you can't use half an hour. It's only when you get there that you can see the prosperity of Hollywood. ”
Jiang Zhiqiang can be regarded as a half-landlord on the Hollywood side, since Jiang Zhiqiang has said so, Li Mingbao can only believe his words. The group sat in the car and soon arrived at the prosperous place that Jiang Zhiqiang said.
At this time, Li Mingbao realized that Jiang Zhiqiang was indeed not lying, this place is truly prosperous, and it is not much worse than the most prosperous place in Hong Kong. There are many high-rise buildings, bars are everywhere, and most of the people walking back and forth on the street have handsome faces, whether they are men or women, they are quite good-looking. There are even some women who dress up very eye-catching, wearing something similar to a bra on the upper body, but slightly bigger than the bra, just walking outside, and the figure is particularly material, and the lower body is wearing hot pants, so short that even the buttocks can be seen partially.
Seeing Li Mingbao's gaze, Jiang Zhiqiang said: "Li Sheng, such a girl, here in Hollywood, there are simply too many, if you want, it can be delivered to your room at night, and the price is not too expensive, you can get it for a hundred dollars." ”
Hearing Jiang Zhiqiang's words, Li Mingbao's face darkened, he was just appreciating it with an artistic eye just now, as for Jiang Zhiqiang said it was so unbearable? You can get it for a hundred dollars, to be honest, this price is indeed quite cheap in Li Mingbao's heart.
But it seems that now is not the time to talk about this issue, so Li Mingbao had to divert the topic and said: "Regarding this issue, we will go back and discuss it." Brother Qiang, since our relationship is so close now, you don't have to call me Li Sheng in the future, just call me Ah Leopard, I will also call you Brother Qiang, I always call Mr. Jiang Mr. Jiang, this relationship is divided. Now it's better for us to settle down. ”
"I have a villa here, if it's just the two of us, it's okay, but now there are so many people, I can't live in a villa, it seems that I can only live in a hotel. I'll take you to see the house in two days, it's not cost-effective to stay in a hotel. "Since Li Mingbao let himself change his name, Jiang Zhiqiang is also as good as a stream.
After spending a pleasant evening in the hotel, Li Mingbao called Jiang Zhiqiang early the next morning and asked him to take him out for a good stroll. At this time, Li Mingbao didn't have to reverse jet lag, because during the few days he played in New York, Li Mingbao reversed the jet lag.
Walking on the bustling street, Li Mingbao continued to talk about yesterday's topic.
"Brother Qiang, just those girls, how can there be so many in Hollywood, and the price is so cheap? It stands to reason that the price of such a girl will be very expensive anywhere, plus this is Hollywood, so there will be no such situation? ”
"Strange huh? It was strange when I first came, but this is actually a unique situation here. Do you know what those girls do? ”
Hearing Jiang Zhiqiang say this, Li Mingbao replied in surprise: "What else can you do?" Isn't it just for sale? ”
"Came out to sell? If it's really out for sale? With their figures, they can't be so cheap anywhere. I sue you, these girls are actually actors! Jiang Zhiqiang took out a cigarette from his pocket, gave Li Mingbao one by the way, and said slowly after lighting it.
Hearing Jiang Zhiqiang's answer, Li Mingbao was surprised: "Those girls are all actors? Impossible, right? How could an actor do this? ”
Li Mingbao is definitely not a chick in the circle, whether it is in Hong Kong or in the memory of that big guy, Li Mingbao understands some of the doorways in the circle.
But in his memory, he had never experienced such an experience. It's true that there are girls who do things in order to appear in the film. This is not uncommon in Hong Kong today or in some memories in the future.
But like Hollywood, any girl can sell herself at any time, for only a hundred dollars, regardless of whether you are a person in the circle or not, Li Mingbao has really never seen such a situation.
Sleeping with the people in the circle, you will get some opportunities, even if such opportunities are pitiful, even if you get them, they will not be too important roles. But there are still a lot of people who enjoy it. But he didn't say yesterday that he was in the circle, and the girl was still willing to go to his bed.
Originally, Li Mingbao thought that this situation was just a characteristic of a certain industry on the Hollywood side, but after listening to Jiang Zhiqiang's words, Li Mingbao felt that there may be some deeper reasons for this, and these reasons are not understood by him, a newcomer to Hollywood.
What Li Mingbao thinks in his heart, Jiang Zhiqiang doesn't know. But it didn't prevent him from telling Li Mingbao some things he knew about Hollywood. Li Mingbao has been in Hollywood for a long time, and sooner or later he will know about these things, and since he is Li Mingbao's leader in Hollywood, he naturally wants to tell Li Mingbao what he knows.
