Chapter 2

The greatest talent of mankind is to pursue the right to dream, but before pursuing the dream, we must first fill our own stomach. If we can't even do the most basic survival, the rest is illusory.

It's been more than a year since he came to this world. Almost all of his time is spent in prison. The hardships can also make Murphy understand a lot of truth. Before his Hollywood dream comes true, he should first find a job that can support himself.

Although the body's predecessor was a fool, he left something useful, such as this small apartment.

The apartment is located in a Latin community. Like most houses in downtown Los Angeles, it is a low and old building. The public security situation here is worrying. There are many idle people living around. Some guys like Ross often haunt the community.

Maybe it's lucky enough, or maybe it's too shabby and out of the way. This "aunt" apartment hasn't been patronized by a thief in this year. The furniture and working equipment that Murphy despises all the time are still alive. It's a big surprise to him.

After finding the apartment based on her memory, Murphy had a thorough cleaning, and then made an inventory of what she could control now.

The first is the house that he can live in for the time being. In the United States, it is generally measured in British style. According to Murphy's standards, the area of the house is not small, with a total area of 50 square meters. Apart from the kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, living room and balcony, there is also a small studio, which is the former freelance journalist's workshop.

Because the house under his name was forcibly confiscated as a fine and compensation, Murphy confirmed that he could only live here for a long time in the future.

The furnishings of the house are very simple. It is obvious that the Stanton family used to be a very common member of the slum. The aunt who went to England left behind the old color TV, refrigerator, washing machine and other basic household appliances. The furniture is also simple, including two chairs, a painted dining table, a washed white cloth sofa and a foldable single bed.

One day, Murphy returned from the state prison to downtown Los Angeles, cleaned his room again, and muttered hungry. He took out his only money and counted it carefully, 243 dollars.

Taking out a $10 bill and putting the rest of the money into her pocket, Murphy went out of the room and went to a nearby hamburger shop to buy a hamburger set meal for her dinner.

Although it's getting dark and the public security situation here is not good, Murphy didn't encounter dog blood robbery. In his mind, maybe this strong body played a role. After all, after all, having experienced so many things in prison, the whole person's temperament seems to be a bit fierce.

Dinner cost only five dollars, Murphy now has no source of income, must plan the use of every cent.

After going through the stairs, which are much dirtier than the room, and facing the strange eyes of two black people, Murphy goes back to her room. After locking the door, she turns on the TV, but there is no program. It should be that no one pays for it for a long time. She is forced to cut off the signal, so she has to turn off the TV and enjoy her dinner peacefully.

Mouth do not know the taste of chewing hamburger, Murphy's head kept turning, thinking about how to make a living next.

Stock market? Not to mention that he doesn't even have the capital. Now it's June 2000, and the stock market crash caused by NASDAQ is in full swing. He used to be a poor student in the film academy, and he knew nothing about the operation of the stock market

Investment? Who does not have the money to invest? He also wants people to invest in himself

Swallowing the food in his mouth and leaving the remaining half of the hamburger on the painted dining table, Murphy leaned back in a chair, raised his head with one hand, and mobilized all the brain cells to think of a way to get rich quickly.

Of course, it's not advisable to continue to do the business of illegal guns like Ross.

After thinking about it, Murphy went back to what she was best at, which was the work related to the film industry. Although she was only a student with little practical experience, she also analyzed numerous classic Hollywood movies and scripts, and listened to many popular film songs.

After changing his more comfortable sitting posture, Murphy first denied the existence of songs, listening to and writing songs, which is very different. It's impossible for him, who has never received any professional study, to write songs without killing him.

This kind of unreliable idea will only make him starve to death

The rest is films and scripts. The film academy he once attended is really out of fashion. The most basic teaching is guaranteed. Moreover, he is a hard-working student. He is not only familiar with the classic art films analyzed in class, but also has studied many films he is interested in in in his spare time.

In an instant, an idea sprang up in Murphy's head. He wrote a script for a future classic film and mailed it to major Hollywood companies. Hollywood's top six executives swarmed like travelers who saw water in the desert and regarded him as a super genius. From then on, Murphy Stanton embarked on a brilliant road of money, power and beauty in Hollywood ."Isn't it enough to suffer this year?" Murphy suddenly laughed and whispered with self mockery, "you're not that naive student. Don't come up with such low-level and stupid ideas, OK?"

Even if he is an outsider, Murphy knows that Hollywood never lacks scripts, let alone the current six major companies. Even for the second tier film companies, there are not many scripts lying there waiting for dust.

In the future, many non adapted films and scripts will lie in the script libraries of major companies for many years

Murphy clearly remembers that some of the scripts on Hollywood's blacklist appeared as early as the 1980s and 1990s.

The chance of a new person's script being hit by a film company is infinitely low, but it's also a way. Even if the chance is low enough to make people feel angry, there's always hope. If Murphy plans to find a job with stable income, he can have a try and take a chance.

Thinking of this, Murphy stood up, went to the window, looked at the starry sky through the window, then sighed, gave up those unrealistic ideas, and turned to the most realistic thing, that is to find a job with legal income first, and solve his livelihood problem.

It's her right to pursue her dream. For this reason, Murphy can get through the crazy and desperate life in prison and do some chores for it.

Of course, Murphy has another option, which is to continue with her predecessor's work.

He walked into his predecessor's studio, which was also cleaned up by him. There was no dust on the shabby worktable, wooden chair and shelf behind. A notebook, a Canon's hand-held camera and a car mounted Los Angeles Police receiver were placed orderly on it.

These are the work equipment of my predecessor.

Sitting in front of the desk, Murphy opens his notebook and finds some news videos shot by his predecessor. It's not difficult to find out from the videos that the guy used to mainly shoot videos on social and current affairs, such as car accidents, fires and robberies. Later, he was lured by huge rewards and foolishly went to shoot the personal privacy of summers leishidong.

Here is not only the video, but also the usage of the police receiver, the police code of the Los Angeles police, and the contact information of the news department directors of several Los Angeles Local TV stations.

The other party's previous work was not complicated. It was basically wandering in the streets of Los Angeles, grabbing some news pictures of public concern, and then selling them to interested TV stations.

However, Murphy is not going to continue to work like this. He is only interested in these devices. After all, they can be exchanged for money to keep him alive.

Although giving up those stupid ideas, Murphy still has some plans. This is Hollywood. There are countless people engaged in film related work, which is also his first choice for finding a job.

It's OK to work in the film industry first, even in the lowest level of chores. You can not only accumulate experience, but also look for opportunities

In fact, all the film circles in the world are the same. Countless talented people are involved in it, and few of them are successful. In many cases, opportunity is more important than talent.

It's getting late at night. Rose calls to ask Murphy what else she needs. Now the situation is better than others, and Murphy doesn't care about anything else. He says that he wants to borrow a car for the time being, so that he can go out and find a suitable job.

The next morning, a young black man took a fairly new Chevy to the fork in the road. Rose was very careful, and the car was obviously full of gas. Murphy parked the car in an alley on the side of the apartment building, bought breakfast and several newspapers, and went back upstairs to read the recruitment column of the newspaper while eating to see if there was a suitable type for him .

With his current conditions, the requirements are really low, as long as he is engaged in the film related industry and can settle the payment in time.

This is Los Angeles, where Hollywood is located. There are thousands of film and television production companies and studios, large and small. Every day, several production teams start work. There are still similar jobs.

After flipping through two newspapers, Murphy transcribed several interesting information one by one, and then called later. When he saw the last newspaper, a huge recruitment advertisement appeared in front of him, and his eyes lit up instantly.

We have just started to recruit many artists and artists for this project!

Just looking at a few lines, Murphy can see that this is the recruitment advertisement for the sequels of two consecutive films of the wozhusky brothers' matrix, which is undoubtedly a good opportunity.
