Chapter 1: Roland and Olsen

Next Chapter

Northwest Los Angeles, Sherman-Oaks, is a quiet neighborhood.

Much like the Encino neighborhood next to the San Fernando hills, it's far from the city center, but there's no shortage of high-end shopping malls and clothing boutiques, with a wide variety of retail-trendy restaurants catering to professionals and families living there.

It's a twenty-six minute drive to Los Angeles International Airport and less than an hour to downtown.

In this contemporary-style area of detached houses, there is a townhouse that looks like a conjoined baby.

When the morning sun shines through the window, the clock hands quietly jump to six o'clock.

Magical rock music, floating.

“Hey (hey)~”

“What's the matter with your head? Yeah~”

“Hey (hey)~”

“What's the matter with your mind and your sign? An-a oh-oh-oh~”

The brisk tune with the unique magnetic voice made Roland, who was curled up like a shrimp, excited, and he reached out his arm in the futon and slapped it hard in the direction of the sound, only to hear a muffled sound, and the world was clean.

The bird's nest-like head slowly poked out, rubbed its sleepy eyes, and glanced at the dates on the calendar.

January 1, 1990.

At this time, a muttering voice also appeared, "Push forward two years, will I be taken away from the earth?" ”

That's right, Roland lying on the bed is no longer the original Roland.

Taken over by a mysterious soul from the East.

With a soft sigh, he slowly got up like a sloth, grabbed a sweater and put it on casually.

I went into the bathroom, turned on the faucet, rubbed my face with water in my hands, and then stared at the mirror and looked at it.

Half a month ago, he was an older single dog living in 19 years, and he was experiencing the darkest moment in his life.

In the second year of secondary school, because of his dream, during the college entrance examination, he applied for a drama college.

After graduation, he has been in the circle for eight years, filming, working as a production assistant, and doing post-production, but unfortunately, no matter what line of work he does, he can see the end at a glance if he offends the capital, and there is no hope for promotion.

So, disheartened, he found another way, registered an account on a website, and became a grandmother in the film and television field, relying on his professional knowledge and understanding of the industry, doing the work of solving (spitting) and talking (groove) movies.

Whenever a new movie is released and the resources have not yet appeared, he, who has already watched it first, will also post a single-chapter spoiler review, which is mixed with some half-truths and gossip, and it will be eye-catching and popular.

Because of his witty language and a lot of dry goods, in two years, he attracted more than two million fans.

The benefits obtained from it are far beyond the previous blind career.

However, just when he thought that Wang Dazhui's dream was his future, he suddenly received a court summons.

Because of the commentary and editing of the movie, he was accused by companies such as Diratzi of changing the film without authorization and infringing on their copyright property rights by means of public transmission.

In the face of the strongest legal counsel in North America, without the protection of Nanshan Pizza Hut, he lost everything.

After the verdict was announced, when he went home, his identity was tragically exposed, and because he used sharp words to explain the latest two-heroine sci-fi blockbuster released in the summer file, he spewed out the plot that fired at me but was intact, calling it the end of the first year of science fiction, which was pursued and attacked by the fans of the first heroine.

It's the same as the Bobtail Rabbit, the author of his favorite sports category 'Komi'.

was swung with a hammer, knocked off the old waist, and was sent to the hospital overnight.

When he woke up again, he had come from the mysterious East to the City of Angels, and had become this guy named Roland Allen.

He thought that what happened to him was bad enough.

However, after he finished reading the memories of the original owner of the body, he realized that there are people outside the world, and there are heavens outside the sky, and that is not in vain.

Although the original owner of the body likes to listen to "Come and get your love", he is not a father who beat his adoptive father and his biological father, and his biological father beat his father-in-law.

Roland Allen came from a good background, his mother was a Broadway drama actress, and his most outstanding achievement was the heroine of Group B in "The Phantom of the Opera", and his father was a real estate developer, and most of his business was concentrated in Southern California.

Although there is no Golden Retriever Building, the scale is not small, but unfortunately, two and a half months ago, when the old Allen and his wife went to San Francisco to participate in the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the new building, they encountered a massive earthquake of 6.9 on the Richter scale......

Both husband and wife died, and the family property fell to Roland Allen.

If it is the parents who sacrifice to the heavens, and the mana is boundless, then forget it.

As long as he can inherit the inheritance, he will still be a good man.

But the seventeen-level inheritance tax with an excess progressive tax rate has become an obstacle in front of him.

Roland Allen is just a guy born in the 80s after all!

Do you expect a ten-year-old child to pay the full amount of inheritance tax out of his own pocket?

Isn't this more difficult than making up Dugu Nine Swords and eating chicken?

"If you change Los Angeles to Scotland, and Sherman-Oakes to Loch Lomond, then I guess I can become the silly hair pendant of the third generation of Sama, and taste the round-faced fat chicken soup every day."

Looking at the immature face in the mirror, Roland complained silently.

Of course, these words were just put in his heart and thought about it.

Even if he has a lot of complaints about his current age, this is also something he once dreamed of.

Like many guys who look forward to growing up in childhood and miss their childhood when they grow up, he also looked forward to going back to the past.

And now, the wish has come true.

Although there may be a deviation in the location and time, but-

That's good enough.

In addition to sighing, he also brushed his teeth, and then took a morning bath in accordance with the local customs.

When he threw his changed clothes into the washing machine, there was a thunderous clanging sound.

"Roland! Open the door! ”

"My mom told you to go for breakfast!"

The high-pitched shout made Roland sigh.

Every morning since he crossed over, he has experienced this experience.

Pulling open the shuddering door, a guy of the same size as Roland, but with a sideways development trend, was standing in the doorway.

Looking at the little chubby dun with a green cap on his head, Roland was a little confused: "James, it's a holiday today, why don't you sleep at home, but instead come over and call me for breakfast so early?" ”

Due to the close proximity of Christmas and New Year's Day in America, the two holidays are often closed back-to-back; New Year's Day is the first day of the Gregorian New Year, and people only had a carnival last night, but there are not many people who can get up like Roland today.

The slightly curious inquiry seemed to arouse the resentment of the little chubby dun.

Taking off his hat, he rolled his eyes with a sigh, "Oh, Roland, I don't think about it so early. ”

"But, my sister is going to join the group to film today."

"It's going to be ten o'clock in the morning."

shrugged his shoulders, and the little chubby face showed an expression of lovelessness.

The embarrassed appearance made Roland laugh dumbly.

Although he didn't know what the hell was filming on the first day of the new year.

But--996 is a blessing after all.

A capitalist who can't be squeezed, is that still a capitalist?

"That's ...... so"

"You wait for me, I'll go upstairs and get a coat, and I'll come down right away."

"Then hurry up." James was in the doorway, too lazy to move.

"Okay." Roland didn't look back, and went straight upstairs.

This guy named James, who was ordered to come over and call Roland for breakfast, was actually a good brother of the original owner of the body.

Of course, they didn't take a banana boat.

And James's parents are Roland's current legal guardians.

Although the two sides are good brothers to each other, Roland and their family are not related by blood.

The reason why Roland was adopted by their family was entirely because the old Roland couple had something to do with them.

James's mother's name is Garnetty, a retired dancer, and the late Roland's mother is familiar with Broadway, while James's father David is the business partner of Roland Sr., and the two sides are neighbors.

Two and a half months ago, the real estate in San Francisco that cut the ribbon and started construction was actually a project that David was keeping an eye on, but because their little princess had just been born and lacked skills, the old Roland couple took the initiative to do it for them.

To put it mildly, in the whole incident, the old Roland couple may be suspected of being a disaster.

Because of this, after the bad news came out, David and Garnetty, who felt guilty in their hearts, took the initiative to seek Roland's opinion, and after learning that he didn't want to leave the place where he had lived for many years, they left the relationship and went through the custody and custody procedures.

The place where Roland lives is actually his own house, and next door is James's house; The reason why he can be so comfortable is because the estate inheritance tax after deducting the deduction is paid by David out of his own pocket and transferred to Roland to help pay it.

Of course, the juvenile legal guardian, which can never be bypassed, is actually not the point of the matter.

What really made Roland feel a little emotional was that Aunt Garnetty, who was familiar with his mother, and Uncle David, his father's business partner, had a son and three daughters: the eldest son was the same James who came to call him for breakfast; The second and third daughters are twins, the elder sister named Ashley and the younger sister named Mary Kate; In addition, the fourth daughter, who was born just last year, is called Elizabeth.

That's right, the family that adopted Roland, surnamed -

Olson.
