Chapter 4

Both Murphy and his former self came from an extremely ordinary family. He had lived an ordinary and even poor life since he was a child, which made him understand a truth very early that opportunities never come from the sky, but depend on fighting. This is the entertainment industry, and no one can fight for a superior opportunity.

Even if Bruce Berman said "no", Murphy didn't give up completely. It's a rare opportunity to take part in the sequel of the matrix.

The office is quiet like outer space, less than three seconds after Bruce Berman's refusal, but Murphy feels extremely long. His thoughts are running at high speed like the most advanced computer, and he wants to make the final fight.

"Mr. Berman, Mr. Miller." Murphy was steady, as if he didn't see the glare of the two opposite eyes. He sincerely said, "intern Is that ok? "

After the most difficult sentence jumped out of his mouth, the rest of the sentence went smoothly, "many people are willing to engage in unpaid positions in order to get familiar with an industry, so am I

For the future, Murphy has put the bottom line very low.

Bruce Berman laughed. "I'm not going to hire a cameraman or a wounding killer."

His tone is very flat, without any emotion, but it sounds very harsh.

Murphy's hands clenched tightly. If this is in prison, the fat man on the opposite side will turn into a rolling gourd with a miserable belly in three seconds. But this is not a prison, and the prison rules are not suitable here.

He has hurt a British director by mistake. If he hurt another famous producer, I'm afraid no one in the film industry will hire him.

With a light breath, Murphy said nothing more and turned to walk out of the office.

So far, there is no need to continue. Even if you work hard, this opportunity will not fall on you.

Out of the office area, Murphy looked up at the sunny sky, but could not see where his future was. It was impossible to say that he was not depressed just now, but he soon wanted to open up.

After all, this is Hollywood. Countless people with dreams and conceit and outstanding talents flock to it, but few of them can get ahead. After spending their youth and time, most of them can only walk out or become a member of the huge bottom of the circle.

How many geniuses are buried in Hollywood? Maybe only God knows.

Murphy is a little dejected when he thinks that the best opportunity just disappears. His predecessor left him a super mess.

While thinking about what to do next, Murphy walked towards the gate of Warner studio. When she passed the gate of a studio, she almost ran into a woman because she was distracted.

"Well, what do you want to do?"

A crisp female voice then rings, pointing to another plump woman with long hair standing beside her and saying, "you almost ran into Miss Monica. Don't apologize."

Murphy stops and turns to see that the woman in front of him is very familiar. Even if she is not in the movie, she can recognize the famous Italian actress Monica BELLUCCI at a glance.

The woman stood there, looking at him coldly. One hand flicked the shoulder that Murphy had rubbed. It seemed that she had just passed by. It was stained with a lot of dirty things.

She stands like this, showing the cool, sexy, beautiful and arrogant that a famous actress should have.

Especially the arrogance, even if Murphy doesn't know much about women, he can feel it clearly - it's a kind of indifference of Hollywood's upper class to the little people.

Although the other side in Hollywood can only be regarded as a little star, but it is not Murphy this unknown person can compare.

This woman's reaction stung Murphy, but he was very clear that in Hollywood, a very realistic circle, respect is never equal, and respect from others is not from the sky, but to fight for it with practical actions.

Monica almost ran into him. Besides, she really had the right to despise him.

"For what happened," Murphy said calmly, more quietly and naturally, "I'm sorry."

With that, he turned around and walked forward without looking back, as if nothing had happened.

If you want to make people like Bruce Berman and Monica BELLUCCI respect and bow down, it's no use saying more now. If you can conquer other people only by mouth guns, the clubs will have unified the world for a long time.

This is a real society, not a fairy tale world.

In the following week, Murphy had a better understanding of the reality of the world, and also understood why Rose had to work again after he was released from prison.

It's too hard for a man with criminal record to get a decent job.

Murphy interviewed two other production teams, but the other party just checked his information a little, and refused directly without thinking about it. Even when she went to the third small production team to seek a job as a choreographer, she was turned away.For some time, Murphy cursed his predecessor and the hellish social environment of the United States almost every day, but it didn't take long for his mood to recover.

People habitually attribute their success to themselves and their failure to the environment.

But this kind of thought has no help in solving practical problems.

The idea of finding a job related to the film industry ran into a wall everywhere. Murphy didn't give up. He just realized that it was more difficult to get a foothold in Hollywood than he had imagined and understood, and the whole person became more pragmatic.

It's not just the film industry, but the interviews in other industries that Murphy participated in basically ended in failure. This result is not surprising. How many of those regular companies or stores will employ such a person with no education, no skills and criminal record?

Do you really want to sell the illegal guns?

Murphy is very clear that this is a road of no return. He would rather work as a porter in an automobile repair shop than take this road. It's just that the porter's work is very hard, and the low salary can't be paid daily.

Now, what Murphy has to face is the problem of money. He has already saved a lot, but more than $200 has basically bottomed out. If he doesn't find a way to make money, I'm afraid he won't be able to make it to the garage next month.

On a rare night when she got home from work on time, Murphy walked into the studio, and her eyes fell on the portable video camera on the shelf.

This Canon camera can still be used. Murphy tried it some time ago. As a student of the film academy, photography is one of the basic courses. Although the function of this camera seems to be a little backward, he can't put it down after shooting several times. But now life forces him to focus on it and the other two machines.

Portable cameras, laptops and car mounted police receivers are not new. I'm afraid they can't be sold for much money by themselves. If all three of them are sold, Murphy thinks she should be able to support for a period of time.

However, after thinking about it, Murphy left his notebook. After work, he also tried to write scripts for some future blockbuster movies. He needed this laptop, but the writing progress was not ideal. Even if it was written, it might sell very low.

Murphy once knew enough that most Hollywood movies were not produced by someone who wrote an excellent script first, and then the script was seen, and the film company invested in the production.

The mainstream production method of Hollywood movies is often that a film company, a famous director or a well-known producer has an idea, and then goes to find investment, and then recruits suitable screenwriters to turn the idea into a script.

In such a production mode, the screenwriter and script are not the beginning of a project at all, but just a link in the Hollywood production line.

Of course, the chance of a new script being used by a new person is infinitely low, and it can't be said that there is no new script at all. Murphy just wants to take a chance. Maybe he will be lucky one day?

Picking up the portable camera and the police receiver, Murphy went out of the house, drove into the black Chevy and headed for the fork in the road.

These are the tools that Murphy used to make a living, and they will soon become the expenses that Murphy uses to maintain his basic living.

Chevrolet turns out of the Latin community and turns two blocks. Murphy drives up Figueroa street in the center of the city and plans to go along this street to Sunset Avenue, which is located near Hollywood. There are a lot of businesses selling or recycling photographic equipment. I think they can at least exchange their portable cameras for the necessary US dollars.

In fact, Murphy can ask Ross for help again, but he doesn't intend to do so. No matter how close a friend is, if he only knows how to ask for it, it's inevitable that the two sides will gradually alienate each other. Except for his temporarily borrowed mobile phone, car and more than $200, he doesn't accept Ross's help any more.

As night falls, Murphy turns to Sunset Avenue, which is opposite to the decline of the city center. On both sides of the road are palm trees and movie billboards. The flashing neon lights set off the road as a never night city.

Chevrolet drove all the way through Ike Park, Lake silver and Luce Phyllis, and gradually entered Murphy's destination - Hollywood area.

Today's Hollywood area is not the scene of decline in the 1980s and 1990s. With the strong support of the California state government and the Los Angeles County Government, it is one of the most prosperous commercial areas in the whole Los Angeles area.

However, Murphy paid little attention to both sides of the road and completely focused on driving. Sunset Avenue twists and turns in many places, with only four lanes in the narrowest part of the whole journey. As there are countless hairpin bends, blind spots and no median barrier in most places, collisions often occur here.

Just passing an intersection, there was a fire on the roadside in front of him. Murphy quickly slowed down.

"This car will explode!"

There was a cry coming through the open window, "Damn, hurry up!"

"Help

Chevy drove by slowly. Murphy turned to see a car crashing into a thick palm tree on the side of the road. A police car and a fire engine were parked beside the car. The police were keeping order. Several firefighters were busy standing beside the car on fire. The voice of saving lives was ringing from the ca
