Hollywood Road

As a local TV station, Fox Los Angeles Channel 6 first focuses on the latest developments in the greater Los Angeles area, and the serious car accident that occurred in the famous Hollywood area will undoubtedly attract the attention of many viewers.

For a commercial TV station, ratings are their first consideration.

"Carla, are you sure?"

Another person next to me asked the woman with long golden brown hair. He pointed to the **** picture on the screen and said, "When the morning news is broadcast, the audience usually eat breakfast. This is excessively bloody."

The woman named Carla didn't care, "We should have such reports every day. The audience will talk about it in the company, they will talk about it all day, and continue to pay attention to our programs."

Standing behind these people, Murphy has been watching carefully. Hearing these words, he immediately captured some useful information. In addition, he also had a preliminary impression of this woman named Carla.

It seemed that he had forgotten Murphy completely. Cara didn't care about the opposition of his subordinates at all, and said in an imperative tone, "This is the headline in the morning. I ask to disassemble the camera, make a scene surround, and use big characters as the title..."

She groaned a little, and then said, "First warn the audience to watch carefully."

Murphy took another look at her. From a psychological point of view, the so-called caution often arouses curiosity.

This is undoubtedly a very thoughtful woman, "Also, if you add the other car accidents that happened on Sunset Boulevard this year, you can say that this is a deadly avenue."

Hearing this, Murphy couldn't help rolling his eyes slightly. These journalists really struggled to attract attention.

The woman continued, "Check the identity of the person involved in the car accident, call her relatives, and record the interview."

She looked at the subordinates around her, "You know what to do, go."

Several other people stood up and walked out of this office one after another.

Until this time, the woman's eyes returned to Murphy's body, and she did not get up, she sat and stretched out her right hand, "Hello, this is Carla Faith, the head of the evening and early morning news department of Channel Six. "

"Hello, Murphy Stanton." Murphy took two steps forward and shook the woman's hand lightly. "I'm a freelance journalist."

As he spoke, he looked at the other side without a trace.

This woman has long curly golden brown hair, light blue eyes hidden under her long eyelashes, shimmering to represent shrewd brilliance, on the typical Western-style tough face, painted with professional makeup that is popular in this era, which is further enhanced. The temperament of women in the workplace.

Murphy could feel that this tall and beautiful woman must be shrewd and capable, otherwise she would not have become the head of a department when she seemed to be only twenty-five or sixteen years old.

Carla retracted her hand and asked directly, "How much do you want to sell?"

After thinking for a moment, Murphy tentatively said, "I think this video can sell for a thousand dollars."

There is no doubt that he spoke loudly at the lion, but his tone also left room for bargaining.

"NO!" The woman on the other side shook her head and said unceremoniously, "The price you want is too ridiculous."

She turned her head and pointed to the paused picture on the screen, "This is not worth a thousand dollars. I'll give you three hundred dollars. This is the highest price."

The price paid by the other party was very low. Murphy stood there, considered for a second, and nodded in response.

This is the first time he has come to this TV station, and it is impossible for the other party to give a high price, and this is just a video of a car accident.

The woman named Kara turned her head back, her eyes were placed on the screen again, and she waved her hand randomly, "You go to the rest area in the hall and wait for a while, and I will ask someone to give you the money."

Murphy glanced at her facing her back, said nothing, turned and walked out of the office, and soon came to the lounge at the entrance of the hall, sitting on the bench and waiting patiently, the other party did not let him wait too. After a long time, it took less than half an hour to send three hundred dollars.

What Murphy didn't expect was that it was the woman who came.

"Give you."

Seeing the banknotes handed over by Carla, Murphy stood up and took it, and said politely, "Thank you, this is a pleasant cooperation."

Murphy’s polite attitude is at least not offensive. The blonde woman on the opposite side is obviously in a good mood, leaning on the back of the bench, and saying, "You have a good vision. You can choose the angle of the video. If you can It would be better to interview the ambulance personnel on the scene."

"I did ignore these." Murphy patted his head lightly, "Thank you for your reminder."

Not only freelance reporters need TV stations, but TV stations also need free reporters to provide a lot of material for themselves. Kara's current attitude is obviously more enthusiastic than before, "Murphy, right? Your videos are very professional."

"I'm just getting into the industry, and can be praised by someone like you..."

When needed, Murphy never mind lowering his stance, "It means a lot to me."

Cara smiled unconsciously and reminded, "If there is another one next time, come here earlier, it's best to make a call in advance."

She took out a business card and handed it over, "It's also a favor to bring some valuable things over. Contact me if you take any photos."

Seeing Murphy put away her business card, she turned and walked outside the rest area. Murphy immediately followed, "Is it a video like this?"

"Yes." Kara nodded as he walked.

Murphy immediately thought of the excitement of the other party when he saw the **** scene before, and asked, "Bloody?"

Probably I didn't expect Murphy to ask so directly. Kara looked back at him with a slightly surprised look, and said, "This is just part of it. We like crime news, not all crimes."

Immediately behind Cara, Murphy had no intention of admiring her tall and graceful figure, and then asked, "Can you elaborate on it?"

The blonde woman stopped, looked at her watch, and said as concisely as possible, "For example, a crime that happened in the city center, no one is interested. This is the norm, not news; what the audience wants to see is crime. Spread to the suburbs."

Murphy immediately realized, "That is to say, the victim should be a wealthy white person, or should it be better to be harmed by the poor or ethnic minorities?"

Carla did not answer, but shrugged, seeing Murphy realize something, and then said, "If you want to capture the essence of what we need, you can imagine our news as a shouting woman running naked on the street. , The throat was slit..."

"I see." Murphy nodded vigorously. "We will meet again."

With three hundred dollars and a wake-up call, Murphy left the TV station but did not go home. Instead, he drove to a restaurant open 24 hours a day and ordered a macaroni and grilled steak. He hasn't eaten anything until noon, and he feels that he can eat a whole cow when he is hungry.

Sitting on the deck, Murphy always put one hand in the left pocket, gently stroking the three hundred-dollar bills. People who have never been hungry or have experience like him will not know the difficulty of making money. There will be no complicated feelings at this moment.

It has been more than a year since Murphy came to this world from the other side of the Pacific Ocean. This is the first time Murphy has made money. Although it is only three hundred dollars, it means that he has found a way to gain a foothold in this country. Can fill the stomach with his own hands.

Only when you fill your stomach and gain a firm foothold can you talk about your dreams and hope to enter Hollywood.

The unique texture of banknotes came from his fingers, Murphy let out a long sigh, it seemed that his life had become a little brighter.

The macaroni and the grilled savory steak were delivered to the table one after another. Murphy can’t tell how long he hasn’t eaten this kind of food. Needless to say about the food in the prison, he has always lived below the poverty line after he was released. Some of the more than two hundred dollars are sponsored by Ross. In addition, the job search is very unsatisfactory. In the past period of time, I can’t wait to split a cent into two to spend. Meals are the cheapest fast food. Where can I enjoy it? The taste of steak.

Picking up a knife and fork, cut a small piece of steak, put it in his mouth and chewed slowly, Murphy closed his eyes with enjoyment, this is simply the most delicious food I have ever eaten in my life, not only the life-strapped and hungry food Relationship, because there is also a taste called success.

After experiencing countless difficulties, Murphy finally made the first money after coming here. The bitterness and bitterness of it were all mixed in this steak. The taste was rich and the eyes almost moistened for a moment.

Murphy knew that what he should do now is continue to breathe, because no matter what, the sun will still rise tomorrow, and he has to continue to face this real world.

But he still wants to enjoy this moment, the moment when he tastes the fruits of success after countless trials!

After eliminating the steak and macaroni at a very slow speed, Murphy ordered another cup of coffee as a reward for himself, because starting tomorrow, he must fight for the future again.

During the meal, Murphy gradually had a preliminary plan, especially the words said by the woman named Cara, which undoubtedly pointed out a way to make a living.

Murphy will not give up Hollywood easily, but he also understands that he needs to wait for the opportunity. He can continue to pursue his former career, shoot news materials in exchange for the money necessary for life, and then write scripts or apply for related jobs to find opportunities to truly enter Hollywood.

It is not easy to gain a foothold in Hollywood. Murphy now knows this very well, and puts more of his thoughts on careers that can make a living.

Although the woman named Cara did not admit it, she gave enough tips. In addition, she had seen a lot of hype. Murphy knew that if you want to get news videos that can sell for a big price, you must first consider the public. Not interested.

For example, **** car accidents occurred in prosperous areas such as Sunset Boulevard and Hollywood.

And as Kara said-crime spread from the city center to the suburbs.

It is not the working people who live in the suburbs, but the truly wealthy people in this country.

Ordinary people like to see the elite and the rich are unlucky, don't they?
