Chapter 797: The City of Dreams

Today is definitely a meaningful day for Roger.

He had never been more taken seriously in the 17th arrondissement than he is todayβ€”in the time he had been upstairs, three self-proclaimed scouts had come to them, claiming to know someone from a big studio who could find him a role in a hit movie.

"Have the city's fraud gangs become so arrogant?"

As soon as he returned to the room, Roger closed the door, for fear that the ubiquitous "fraudsters" would follow the room.

In order to persuade him to embark on the road of acting, there was even a "fraudster" who even used erotic seduction.

"Those aren't fraudsters, they really want to be your agent."

Zhuang Chi, who followed up, gloated, "After all, your appearance is very distinctive, and if you play a villain, you will definitely be able to penetrate into the hearts of the people." ”

She and the section chief don't have these troubles, they both belong to the "featureless" looks.

In the Fourth District, they need the kind of image that can be deeply rooted at a glance rather than handsome and pretty, and there is no doubt that Roger is the person they are looking for.

"The villain is not for me, and I position myself as a partner for justice."

"But it's right that you ignore them, the people who can find you here are some little-known third-rate agents, they are counting on catching treasures in the vast sea and turning themselves over, the crew I met downstairs just now should also be a small crew with little reputation, everyone thinks they can shoot something shocking."

But in reality, their final results won't even be brought to the screen.

"Do you know the alias of District 4?"

"Is there another name here?"

"The City of Dreams."

"Here, it may only take ten minutes to go from an obscure ordinary person to a household name." ”

That's what District 4 looks like to outsiders, at least that's what the film and media companies want people to think.

"Actually, I wanted to try my luck in District 4 a few years ago."

Zhuang Chi admits that this is indeed very tempting.

Ten minutes to change her fate allows her to live a life of extravagance - that, as far as she knows, is the life of most national rescuers, bathing in expensive champagne and riding the hovercar every day of the week.

"Then why did you give up?"

"Isn't the answer obvious?"

Zhuang Chi rolled his eyes, "I am a standard 'easy to be unlucky' physique, lucky things have nothing to do with me since I was a child, but unlucky things have been with me every time." ”

She has had a clear sense of who she is from a long time ago, "but you might be able to meet the 'Ten Minutes of Fame' here." ”

"I'm still exempt, I'm not interested in being famous."

Roger shook his head, "I'm fed up with being manipulated, which is why I was transferred to the Propaganda Section in the first place. ”

The work of the Propaganda Section is in line with his imagination, relaxed and free.

There is even some freedom that goes too far, and section chiefs often disappear for more than a week, and they are left unsupervised every day.

"By the way, where did the section chief go?"

"Report back."

"Reporting?"

"The section chief said that he was going to the rooftop to call Director Lu."

"Yes."

Zhuang Chi was thoughtful, after all, the water in the fourth area is too deep, and if you are not careful, you will risk losing your life - both for men and women.

There are always people who think that boys will not suffer when they go out and pay a terrible price in this city.

After all, the section chief and the supervisor are a couple who have been certified by them, and it is understandable to pay attention to this aspect of the problem.

At the same time, Song Lan was experiencing great challenges.

I knew I would have made a phone call on the rooftop...... In the event of a jump, he should have stayed in his room and not come out.

Considering that they would probably have to stay in this hotel for a month, he thought about going to the rooftop to observe the surrounding terrain first, after all, if there was a real emergency, it would be convenient for him to deal with the scene.

But before Song Lan could observe the surrounding pattern, she saw a girl with half her foot on the edge of the rooftop.

It just so happens to be an actress who had a relationship on the first floor before.

She was still wearing the clothes she wore for the shoot, and before the blood on her neck could be wiped off, she lit a cigarette and looked downstairs.

At first, Song Lan thought that this was another shooting need, but he soon found that there were no shooting props around.

The pot-bellied director and crew are gone.

Seeing Song Lan on the rooftop, the woman looked at him, or more precisely, his mobile phone, and took the initiative to talk to him, "Hey, you do me a favor." ”

"You say."

"Enthusiastic Citizen" was his nickname.

"I'm going to jump from here in a while, you can help me take a picture and post it on the Internet, this will definitely go viral."

?

The woman ignored Song Lan's question mark and leaned out half of her body, "You should have seen it when you entered the hotel just now, there is an iron fence in the green belt at the door, and if you fall from this place, you should be able to capture the scene when your body is torn apart, I know they like to watch this." ”

Song Lan was the first to come to the rooftop after her.

Until then, she had been observing the scenery downstairs and decided to be the first person to walk on the rooftop today.

"Are you serious?"

If the other party said that there was a life-saving cushion downstairs, and asked him to help shoot an eye-catching short video, he could still reluctantly think about it, if he really did what she said, wouldn't he automatically upgrade to a criminal suspect?

"Yes, I'm serious, do you have a social account, and how much followers do you have?"

Song Lan didn't know why the woman asked this, but she still replied, "If there is one, there is one concern." ”

The only person who follows him is Lu Xiang, in fact, except for Lu Xiang, no one knows that it is his account at all.

As a perennial diver and surfer, he doesn't post anything on his social media accounts.

"It's a pity."

The woman sighed lightly, "But it's nothing, when you post it on the Internet after you finish filming, you can spend money to find some well-known people to help you forward it, and it will attract you a large number of fans in less than a day...... There is only one person following your social account, so you shouldn't have entered the industry yet, right? Remember, don't trust Powell if he comes to you, he claims to be a famous director, but in fact he is a liar who has achieved nothing. ”

Song Lan felt that the woman seemed to have misunderstood something, and regarded him as a novice who was about to enter the entertainment industry, so she told him some guidelines for closing the pit in the tone of a senior.

"I'm just here for a tour of the 4th arrondissement."

"Tourism? That's even better. ”

The woman laughed, as if genuinely happy for Song Lan, and she continued, "Do you know how to write ghost stories?" Once you've posted this video online, you can make up horrific urban legends that the inn has some kind of curse that affects people who end up taking their own lives. ”

"Are you having a hard time?"

As he spoke, Song Lan had already sent an off-the-field request for help to Roger.

Perhaps Roger, as an expert negotiator, can persuade the woman in front of him who wants to find a short-term meeting.

But unlike those who were desperate, the woman did not cry or hysteria, on the contrary, her tone was a little excited.

She was talking excitedly about her death and what might happen after it.

This made Song Lan wonder if she had encountered some cult organization that instigated people to commit suicide.

"Huh? Are you trying to persuade me? Please, don't do such a bad thing, people will remember me. ”

The woman adjusts her mood, faces the camera, and smiles brightly, which is much more "photogenic" than when she was filming downstairs before, "They will talk a lot about what is happening here, and those really famous directors, they will be like sharks that smell blood, and they can use me as a prototype to shoot a blockbuster movie." ”

"Don't be impulsive, you can try to talk to me about your difficulties."

On the first day of arriving in the 4th arrondissement, Song Lan, an "enthusiastic citizen", was forced to play the role of an expert negotiator.

"There's nothing to talk about."

The woman shook her head slightly, she used Song Lan's mobile phone as a lens, and took out her accumulated skills as an actor.

- "Help me, make me famous." ”
