The black Chevy was very slow. When she passed the other lane near the accident, Murphy kept looking there. The crashed car was on fire, and the burning flames came out of the front hood, making the surrounding light transparent. Despite the possible explosion danger, some firefighters were busy putting out the fire, while others were rescuing the people stuck in the car wounded.

All these make Murphy think of the painting he saw in the TV news, and also think of another video in his notebook. His eyes unconsciously retract and turn to the hand-held camera in the co pilot's seat.

There is a voice in his mind telling him that this is a very valuable news picture and should be shot immediately.

When the car passed the scene of the accident, Murphy stepped on the brake, stopped on the auxiliary road, grabbed the portable camera, got off the car as soon as possible, and then ran to the scene of the accident, skillfully turned on the portable camera.

It's as if it's been rehearsed countless times.

Two patrolmen outside have pulled up the yellow warning belt and set up a simple warning area to prevent people from entering. In the warning area, the fire has been slightly controlled. Several firefighters are removing the deformed door to rescue the driver inside.

Just when Murphy saw the accident and decided to shoot, several cars also stopped nearby. It's obvious that watching is common all over the world.

Someone else came over and seemed to want to watch closely. Two patrolmen rushed to maintain order.

That gave Murphy a chance.

When he came over, he had already turned on his hand-held camera to shoot. As a student of Film Academy with formal education, and the memory left by his predecessor, Murphy still had some ability in this aspect. However, due to the light at night, the effect of shooting from outside the cordon was not good.

At the moment when the two patrolmen were attracted away by other onlookers, Murphy did not hesitate to stoop down from the cordon, then took a few strides, hid in the side of a fire truck, found a suitable angle, and with the help of the fire light, recorded the pictures near the car into the camera.

The memory left by his predecessor tells Murphy that there are many people engaged in similar work in Los Angeles. Every time there is an emergency, these guys are like sharks smelling blood, and they will soon swarm in.

So he had to take pictures that people couldn't see.

The fire was getting smaller and smaller, and the pictures began to blur. Murphy turned his head and looked at the 10 o'clock direction of his left hand. The two patrolmen were still maintaining order, and the rest of the firefighters focused on rescuing the trapped driver. No one noticed.

At this time, the deformed door was finally pried open by firemen, and a woman with long hair was picked down from the car.

Even without professional training, Murphy knew that this was the most valuable picture. Without even thinking about it, she turned on the headlamp of her hand-held camera and rushed to the vicinity of the wounded on the stretcher with the fastest speed. From the gaps exposed by several firefighters and medical staff, she accurately captured the front picture of the wounded.

The woman lay on the stretcher and groaned feebly. Her long golden hair was stained red with blood. Her left face seemed to be one of the wounds. It was covered with blood and flesh. She looked terrible.

"Blood pressure 95-65, heart rate slow..."

There are medical staff doing the necessary examination, "pupil dilation..."

Despite a sense of nausea, Murphy's hand was quite stable, and immediately switched to a large close-up to record the scene which was comparable to the American plasma film accurately.

However, Murphy's shooting lasted less than ten seconds.

It's hard for a big living person to run to such a place and the light on the portable camera to attract people's attention.

"Hey, what do you do?"

A loud voice sounded, and then the camera was blocked by a man in a fireman's uniform. "What are you doing?"

"Stand back, you stand back!"

One of the patrolmen who kept order came quickly. He was not as polite as the firefighters and medical staff. He pointed at Murphy and said, "you! Get out of here

As a person who has been in prison, Murphy knows that the American police are not as good as the media propaganda. He quickly turns off the light on the portable camera, raises one hand, backs back and says, "OK, OK, I'll go right away."

As if he didn't think Murphy was going fast enough, the patrolman came up with him and gave him a strong push. "Step back a hundred feet!"

He used a lot of strength this time. Murphy was retreating again. He tripped over the broken car debris behind him and almost fell to the ground.

Although he was a little annoyed, Murphy knew that he couldn't entangle with the police. Fortunately, he was a half breed, not a black man. Otherwise, the opposite police might point at him with a gun.Murphy steadied his body, stepped back quickly, and the policeman on the opposite side with his hands akimbo, looked majestic.

After another look at the police, Murphy turns around, bends down and gets out from under the cordon, separates the onlookers who have been around for a while, and walks toward his parking position.

After returning to the car and taking a deep breath twice, Murphy started the car and left the scene of the accident. Not long after driving out, he found a parking lot on the side of the road and drove directly in. After parking the car, he took the hand-held camera on the co pilot and opened it to see the picture just taken.

From the beginning of the shooting to being driven out, Murphy shot a video for nearly three minutes, including not only the pictures of car fire and fireman rescue, but also the close-up of the wounded, which has considerable visual impact.

For Murphy, who has a certain professional foundation, it is relatively easy to shoot at this level.

Now that the video was taken, the portable camera could not be sold. Murphy left the parking lot, turned a corner and drove home.

This video has integrity value only if it is sold. To sell this video, Murphy needs the contact information of those TV station related personnel left by her predecessor, who are all on the laptop at home.

And this video also needs some preliminary editing.

As soon as he could get home, Murphy went straight into the studio and turned on his laptop. There was editing software on it. Although his predecessor was stupid, the equipment used for his work was OK. The portable camera used the latest digital storage technology instead of the old-fashioned cassette.

Take off the bulky storage disk on the portable camera, and connect it to the computer through the data cable. Murphy uses the editing software to cut the captured video and cut off all the useless things. The main thing is to keep the things taken after entering the warning line, and store them on the storage disk again. Then open a folder on the notebook and find some related TV stations The contact information of the staff, several calls in succession.

Maybe these contact information are too old, or maybe he's not lucky. Most of Murphy's calls are unanswered, and some of them are not very interested.

"Have you been busy for a long time, what you do is useless?"

Murphy grabs her short brown hair and dials a number. After the bell rings a few times, a voice comes from the opposite side, "Hello, this is fox channel 6."

"Hello." Murphy said as simply as possible, "I'm a freelance journalist. There's a video I just shot..."

The person opposite seemed very busy, and said with a very fast speed, "well, you bring the video, do you know our address? Do you know? Then come as soon as possible. "

After hanging up, Murphy took the disk and drove directly to Burbank, where fox Los Angeles local station channel 6 is located. Due to the time spent on the road, it was already late at night when he arrived.

Channel 6 of fox Los Angeles local station is located in a white building with a high TV signal tower beside it. Murphy gets out of the car and enters the floor to explain his intention to the security personnel at the door. According to the direction of the other party, he goes to the news department on the third floor.

The whole third floor is a huge news hall. Even though it's late at night, people are still very busy. Murphy walks into it blankly. When she sees someone coming from the opposite side, she politely asks, "excuse me, I have a video of a car accident that I just shot."

The head didn't lift, pointing to the corridor on the left, "the first door on the left after entering."

According to this person's direction, Murphy found an office. Through the glass door, he could see several people sitting in front of the screen, as if they were discussing something.

Murphy tapped on the glass door, saw the people inside look over, opened a crack in the door and said, "I have a video of a car accident to sell."

"Free journalists?"

A woman with long golden brown hair turned her head and looked this way. "Who are you following?"

Murphy Leng for a while, simply walked in, "I do it myself."

He could see that this woman should be the head of several people, and added, "it's a video of a car accident that happened on Sunset Avenue near Hollywood this evening. A woman crashes, half her face is destroyed, and blood is everywhere. If she can survive, I will be very surprised."

These words clearly intrigued the brunette, who nodded and said, "well, let me see."

Murphy takes out the storage disk, takes the first two steps and gives it to the blonde. A staff member nearby connects the storage disk to the screen according to the instructions of the blonde. After a second of snowflake, this video edited by Murphy is played.

"Oh, my God!"

When playing the close-up of the injured woman, the bloody scene made the staff member cry out unconsciously.

Standing on their side, Murphy has been observing the expression of the blonde, which is different from the surprise of the staff member. Seeing the bloody picture, the blue eyes of the blonde clearly reveal a kind of excited look of great interest."It can make headlines in the morning news!"

She seems to have completely forgotten Murphy behind her side.
