America's Road to Wealth

In Los Angeles in November, the temperature begins to drop.

Fortunately, compared to the hot summer, although Los Angeles cools down in mid-November, the average daytime temperature can still remain at around 20-22 degrees.

Plus with the sunshine, you can even wear short sleeves at noon.

Other times, you only need to wear short suits, T-shirts, thin jeans and other clothing made of single-layer cotton and linen fabrics to be able to hold on.

In addition, November is also the dry season in Los Angeles.

No need to worry about sudden rain.

This kind of temperature and weather is compared to New York, which has already had a snowstorm.

That's really much better.

The day of the 16th.

Anne Hathaway, on the crew of "The Princess Diaries", temporarily finished filming her own scenes.

She was holding a script and was in a daze.

Almost a month ago, Annie and Abel happily spent two days in Los Angeles.

She hasn't seen her boyfriend for a month.

Although after that, in newspapers and some television entertainment news.

She sees her boyfriend every day.

But seeing her boyfriend in that kind of place made her feel very upset.

Because in those places, the boyfriends she met were always surrounded by other young and beautiful women.

When Abel appeared next to Charlize Theron, a second-tier Hollywood actress.

Anne finally couldn't stand it anymore.

At that time, Anne hesitated for two or three days.

She called her boyfriend.

On the phone, Anne hesitated to ask the question.

Abel answered her with a smile on the other end of the phone:

"Hi~ Honey, listen to me, it's all fake. You know, I have a model agency in Elizabeth's back garden!"

"This company is new and has no reputation at all."

"Then I can only sacrifice myself to bring fame to the company's employees."

"This can increase their worth and allow them to earn a little more money when they take jobs."

"Then my company can make more money accordingly."

"Annie, you know, those are all fake."

"You are my girlfriend, you should understand me!"

Anne didn't know if she could understand.

But on the phone, she still said she understood.

I said so, but the result was the next day.

The woman who was in the news with Abel was replaced by another one.

The woman is different, but she has a young, beautiful appearance and a beautiful figure, as well as the appearance of being intimate with Abel in the media.

That's exactly the same.

After Anne saw it, she could only comfort herself.

This is Abel taking advantage of his own fame.

Come and praise these people who have signed contracts with his company, which can bring him more benefits.

She comforted herself in this way, which made her feel better.

But it just feels better.

I can rely on my own ability to get into a good university like New York University.

The only thing wrong with Annie is that her IQ is really not low.

As time passed, Abel's tidbits did not diminish at all.

So much so that in the end she counted them all, including herself.

In less than a month, he appeared next to Abel.

A woman who appears to have a close and even ambiguous relationship with him.

There are sixteen in total.

These sixteen women include Hollywood actresses, youth TV drama idols, and popular supermodels.

Even a New York socialite!

Each one looks very beautiful and has a good figure.

With some inexplicable mentality, Annie gradually stopped calling every day or two.

It turned into three or four days without calling Abel.

However, Abel didn't even call her.

Anne was a little discouraged, but she was a little smart.

She has little experience and is not that ambitious.

The more I think about it, the more I think about it.

So when two-thirds of the filming of "Princess Diaries" was completed, she started to have more free time.

Last week, she secretly went to the Screen Actors Guild.

She got a script, which was a movie with an investment of about ten million US dollars.

She successfully got the audition invitation.

It was said that he was a starring role, but it was not until Annie went there that he found out that he was just a minor supporting role.

People know the existence of Anne Hathaway, one of the "Girls Smith".

Her best days are behind her. But compared to ordinary celebrities, they still have a certain degree of popularity.

Even if she doesn't have a popular work yet.

Seeing that she was so proactive, the other party thought it would be useless if she didn't use it.

Thinking of using her name for free and using her to add some popularity to the movie.

This gave her, who had no reputation in Hollywood before, a chance to audition.

It's just an unimportant supporting role, and he doesn't have much of a role.

It is estimated that after the movie is finished, she may be brought out as a promotional focus.

Even so, she was ready to take the next step. After all, she began to want to rely on herself.

She wants to prove herself!

She can do well in Hollywood without someone else!

However, it turns out that she was overthinking it.

After the casting director saw Anne's agreement, he bluntly told her to go to the hotel to discuss the script at night.

When Anne heard this, she threw the script in the casting director's face and walked away.

Just looking at the other person's disgusting look made her feel sick to her stomach.

She was depressed for two days.

Later, Annie heard that the audition director was found in a black community in Los Angeles the next day.

The condition was miserable, and it was said that one of his legs was broken.

After Anne heard the news, she was silent for more than an hour.

After this extremely unpleasant audition experience.

Anne completely gave up the idea of ​​auditioning for the role.

Combined with this, she came to Los Angeles for more than two months.

Listening to friends in the industry like Heather and Julie, and other gossips, some real-life Hollywood situations.

Anne finally understood.

In Hollywood, opportunities are never free.

She herself is in Hollywood and has no connections or background except for Michael Levine and Abel.

She had a small opportunity in New York because of Michael Levine.

After getting to know Abel, I got such a big opportunity for a newcomer.

These are not opportunities available to ordinary people.

Ordinary people entering Hollywood must pay something if they want to get a chance.

And even if you pay, you may not get a chance.

In South Hollywood below Beverly Hills, in the cluster of apartment buildings.

There are countless beautiful and handsome boys and girls living here.

There are girls in there with looks and figures that sometimes even Anne herself feels she can't compare to.

But they can only live in those apartments and look for opportunities every day in places like the Screen Actors Guild.

At least once a week, they send themselves to a certain room in a certain hotel.

By doing this and putting in so much effort, they just want a chance.

Even so, sometimes you don't get what you pay for.

Anne understood.

In fact, these are the truth about Hollywood.

She also understood how rare the opportunity given by Abel was.

Face the harsh reality of real Hollywood.

Annie is smart, but not smart enough, but still pretty smart.

After experiencing this blow.

She woke up quickly.

She realized that she had experienced fairy-tale encounters and everything went smoothly on her stardom.

It's not because of my abilities and looks.

But because of my luck.

First there is Michael Levine, a senior CAA senior agent who has a close relationship with her family.

Later, I had a great boyfriend named Abel.

Only then did she have the opportunity that is hard to come by for ordinary people.

For ordinary people, even for top Hollywood stars, material enjoyment and treatment are somewhat unaffordable.

All of this is just because of his relationship with Abel.

To be precise, it was because of Abel.

After thinking about it for a few days, Anne extinguished her unrealistic extravagant hopes of free love and dreams.

She started calling Abel proactively again.

When Abel didn't contact her, he focused more on watching more movies and studying and studying acting skills.

During leisure time.

She will also be happy to enjoy the Centurion Black Card when shopping.

There are also other super perks that you can enjoy.

Didn’t you see that Jessica Alba, who is also the "Smith Girl", has become the new Bond girl in "007"?

This kind of thing has always been out of reach for Hollywood practitioners of their level.

For her and Jessica, they came casually.

And Charlize Theron, who is also the "Smith Girl".

It is said that she directly became the heroine of James Cameron's latest super-big production without even an audition.

I don’t know how many people in Hollywood would envy this kind of treatment.

But I was thinking about this and that, ridiculously thinking about free love.

If only other women in Hollywood knew this.

Anne thought.

Those bitchis will definitely laugh at themselves crazily.

She decided to be obedient and listen to Abel with peace of mind.

Thinking of this, Annie took the script in her hand and clapped her palms hard.

"I'm so lucky to meet you, but it's also my misfortune!"

she thought to herself.

Thinking like this, she stood up, no longer so confused.

At least I'll never be so stupid as to look for audition opportunities again.

Since there is such a thing as a red couch in Hollywood.

Obviously I already have the best red sofa.

Then why bother looking for another red sofa?

The red sofa I'm sitting on is unique in the world!

Regardless of such conditions, I went to the Screen Actors Guild to look for opportunities.

Anne felt that she was really the biggest fool in the world!

"Hi! Hi! Hi!"

Annie, who was scolding herself for being stupid, suddenly heard an urgent and fast voice coming from in front of her.

She raised her head and saw her good friend on the set, a supporting character in "The Princess Diaries".

The actress Heather, wearing the costume of the crew, was running towards her quickly.

Heather was running and barking, looking extremely excited.

Annie stood up with the script in hand, wondering why she was so excited.

"What happened?" Annie stopped Heather from rushing over, almost falling down and chewing mud.

"Annie! Anne! Anne! You you!! You! You!!"

Heather seemed so excited that her speech was incoherent and almost stuttering.

"What happened?" Annie was curious.

I saw Heather "bang bang" and beat her chest twice, and she could speak coherently despite the pain.

"The super rich man on the Forbes list! Our American super Smith! Your legendary boyfriend with whom you are rumored to be having an affair, that Abel Smith, has come to our set!!!"

After hearing Heather's words, which were fast and urgent, but could still be heard clearly.

Annie was stunned for a moment, then a surprised smile appeared on her face.

"Annie, he made a special trip to see you. You told me last time that your relationship was not that kind of relationship. You are"

It seems like beating her chest really works for Heather.

She had a stutter just now, but now she speaks very coherently.

Unfortunately, coherence is of no use.

Before Heather finished speaking, she saw Anne Hathaway.

With a speed that Heather had never seen before, he ran towards the place where Heather had just run.

Heather was stunned for a moment, then realized what she was doing and ran back to where she came from.

As she chased Annie, she shouted from behind:

"Wait for me, you haven't answered my question yet. Are you and him boyfriend and girlfriend?"

Wait until Heather catches up with Anne Hathaway later.

Heather had already seen her, throwing herself into the arms of a tall, muscular man.

Still being held by a man.

Those beautiful lips that usually make Heather a little envious.

At this time, it was being chewed by a man.

"Wow~" Heather exclaimed softly.

Then she was caught by Julie, another actor friend of Anne on the set, to stop her from uttering arrogant words.

"Don't talk nonsense." Julie whispered to Heather: "Annie's boyfriend is a big shot we can't afford to offend!"

Heather quickly reacted and nodded gratefully.

Mainly Anne Hathaway in her daily life.

She enjoyed every aspect of being on the set, although her development was very off-the-charts.

But her attitude has always been good.

No matter when acting or when getting along with them, they act like ordinary people.

This made Heather, who was a little overthinking, forget that this was Hollywood.

Forget about Anne Hathaway who can afford these things, Anne who even the famous director Garry Marshall has to be polite.

In fact, she is an actor in a different world from herself.

At this moment, I was reminded by Julie from England.

Heather suddenly remembered that the person eating Anne Hathaway was the boss of MGM and CAA!

A super rich man.

After a long time, their lips just parted.

Anne was still a little dizzy, excited and surprised.

She suddenly noticed a flashlight flashing on her left side.

Having received paparazzi-related training, she suddenly woke up.

Anne Hathaway suddenly whispered:

"Dear, you're here. I'm so happy. Someone seemed to be taking a picture of us just now. We took a picture like that just now. Doesn't it matter?"

Abel smiled at her and said, "It's okay, Edward will handle it."

When he said so.

Anne had already seen Abel's security captain, leading a few people and walking quickly in the direction where the flashlight flashed just now.

Then she heard her boyfriend say to director Garry Marshall, who was standing next to him smiling:

"I think your name is Marshall, right?"

"Yes, sir. I am Garry Marshall."

Anne only felt at this time.

Usually in the crew, except for myself.

A director who has never been pleasant to anyone.

At this moment, he was as gentle as the most ordinary waiter in a five-star hotel.

"Hello Marshall. I'm here to visit Annie today. I'd like to give her a day off. Shouldn't that be a problem?"

"Of course there is no problem, sir. Miss Hathaway is very good at acting and her progress is the fastest. Let alone a day off, even a week is no problem."

"It doesn't take as much as a week. But if that's the case, then Annie can just take three days off."

"No problem~"

Just when Anne felt that Garry Marshall's attitude was really too good.

She heard another scream from the other side.

Annie wanted to look over, but Abel pressed her head and took him away with a smile.

After the two left, at least a dozen bodyguards also left quickly.

Apart from the crew, there were only three people left at the scene.

One is Lincoln, one of Abel's four bodyguards, and the other is a tall but sinister-looking black man.

And David Jones.

I saw the black man who looked like a gangster pushing a crew member to the ground.

Lincoln held a video camera in his hand.

He pulled out the film inside and looked at it, then took out a lighter and burned it directly.

After burning the film, Lincoln smashed the expensive camera directly to the ground, then jumped on it and stomped on it.

While stepping on it, Lincoln looked at the crew members around him with fear and anger, and said:

"What are you looking at? Have you never seen gangsters seeking revenge? I am Culifin from "Devil's Alley in Pasadena" in Los Angeles. This kid bought flour from us and gave fake money, and now we have caught him!!!"

After hearing what Lincoln said, some of the crew members who were watching wanted to say——

[Madefak, didn’t you just follow the super rich man and come with the super rich man? 】

[Why have you become a person from "Pasadena Devil's Alley" now? 】

However, some locals on the crew knew that there really was such a gang in Los Angeles.

This gang is based in Pasadena, Los Angeles, and is a gang composed mostly of black people.

It is estimated that there are 3-4 hundred members, and it is also one of the powerful forces in the San Gabriel Valley.

And it has a long history, dating back to the 1940s.

Seeing Lincoln's fierce look, many people were heartbroken.

I think maybe this guy is really a member of the notorious "Pasadena Devil Alley".

On the other side, David Jones approached director Garry Marshall.

As soon as he came up, David said to Garry Marshall:

"Hello, Mr. Marshall."

"Peter Steyer, one of the camera assistants on The Princess Diaries."

"But he's also a special correspondent for Hollywood Daily News."

"He has been coming to "Princess Diaries" for a month. His main purpose is not to work, but to lurk here."

"Dear Mr. Marshall, do you understand what I mean?"

What Garry Marshall doesn't understand yet.

It’s true that Peter Steyer, the beaten crew member, had a double identity.

But the reason why I was beaten like this today is probably because I secretly took too many photos related to Anne Hathaway on the set.

This guy was particularly crazy just now.

When Abel was making out with Anne Hathaway, he forgot to turn off the flash and took the photo.

Only then would he be beaten up by some black man from "Pasadena Devil's Alley".

"Yes sir."

The situation was stronger than the people, not to mention that Garry Marshall was not familiar with Peter Steyr.

It was none of his business that Peter Steyer was beaten.

Garry Marshall smiled and said:

"I completely understand. Peter Steyer was fired by me this morning. Anything he does later has nothing to do with our crew!"

David Jones smiles, that's a smart guy too.

This made David much easier.

David smiled at Garry Marshall, and then the man in a black suit, who gave off a shrewd and capable look, left directly.

The black men over there hammered Garry Marshall for a few more minutes.

Lincoln took a call from behind, and poor and hateful Peter Steyer stopped screaming.

"Oh oh oh~ OK!"

Everyone saw the so-called black man Culifin and answered the phone several times.

This fierce black man shouted loudly to the onlookers on the set:

"Why don't you call the police immediately? Call the ambulance at the same time? Do you really want to see him beaten to death by our "Pasadena Devil's Alley"?"

His fierce appearance made the surrounding crew members dare not even breathe.

Mainly because this guy was clearly wearing a new-looking body armor.

There are two guns inserted in the left and right pockets.

Looks like a person,

He looks like a gangster elite killer who can kill a lot of people.

In the crew, the director and producer didn't say anything.

The security personnel of the production crew were stupid enough to come and look for trouble.

Your monthly salary is only three to four thousand yuan, what are you trying to do with your life?

Now that they see this black man making so much noise, naturally no one dares to call the police.

In addition, this may have something to do with the fact that Peter Steyer and most of the crew are not familiar with each other.

Fortunately, Garry Marshall stood up at this time and whispered to the assistant director:

"Call the police and call an ambulance by the way."

The assistant director was stunned. Instead of looking at Garry Marshall first, he looked at the fierce black man first.

He still has a gun in his hand.

What if I get spotted while making a phone call?

The assistant director saw the black man glare at him and said:

"What are you looking at? Hurry up and call the police!"

The assistant director quickly called the police.

Over there, Lincoln made sure the call to the police was made.

He nodded to the other black man who had pinned Peter Steyer to the ground.

"Brother, I leave it to you. Don't worry, everything will be fine."

"Hey~ what does this mean?" The black man said in a rap tone: "I go in there at least three or four times a year."

"Man, as long as you don't forget what you promised~ Don't worry, everything will be fine~"

Lincoln made a gesture toward the black people, which was the special gangster gesture of "Pasadena Devil's Alley."

Then one of the Four King Kongs took one last look at Garry Marshall.

The director smiled at him. Lincoln was stunned and smiled back at him.

Then he turned around and walked away.

More than an hour later.

The police arrived.

After Lincoln left, the black man, who was also idle, beat Peter Steyer again.

He immediately raised his hands in surrender.

Then the ambulance came.

Peter Steyer, who was severely punished, finally got into the ambulance.

It was Peter Steyr, who had been beaten and couldn't even speak clearly.

He was struggling while being carried into the ambulance by male nurses and doctors.

He seemed to refuse to take the ambulance to the hospital.

This scene fell in the eyes of the surrounding Americans, and everyone could understand it.

In the United States, if you don’t have money to buy a good medical insurance.

It is best not to take the ambulance even if you are about to die.

Because the bill afterwards may really scare you to death.
