Chapter 44 The So-called "Scout"



I have to admit it.

There is a big gap between young people living in the future and young people today.

In comparison, the vast majority of people today have less experience and a more rigid and direct way of thinking.

Han Chudong discovered this recently, at the dinner table last night.

At first I thought that Da Jun and Watermelon Head’s straightforwardness were just exceptions, and that the previous “Han Chudong” must have wanted to be a big gangster and was just stupid. Later I found out that there are many such people.

He had no intention of conducting in-depth research on these sociological issues, but he thought these little discoveries were quite interesting.

“Accept your life as it is.”

This is easy to say, but difficult to adapt to.

Han Chudong feels that things that should exist have not yet appeared, while some things that should not exist are surrounding him, such as the Vietnam War, the Watergate scandal, and so on.

It has been less than a month since I cheered up and started trying to accept my new life, and I haven't fully integrated into it yet.

He always likes to daydream when driving, and now he was thinking about a lot of messy things.

This was mainly because Miss Bergman fell asleep shortly after getting in the car, and he happened to be troubled by various changes in his life.

Although there is no way to be entangled, if you don’t sort it out clearly, there will always be a big lump in your heart.

Facts have proved that it is useless to think about it, the mess still exists.

Since there is no result to be reached no matter what, and I am finally forced to live by reality, I might as well stop dwelling on it.

Occasionally he would turn his head to look at Helena Bergman who was sleeping in the passenger seat.

Her mouth was slightly open, and you could see that she was wearing light makeup. She was wearing jeans and a white short-sleeved shirt, and her skin was snow-white. She didn't have freckles or moles like many white girls.

As for why Han Chudong knew that many white girls had bad skin.

This is a very interesting question.

I have been in the United States for so many years, but I don’t have a nerdy air and I often hang out with my friends in various social occasions.

It is difficult to be together for a lifetime, but you don’t have to be in love. As long as you are brave, it is easy to communicate in English. After all, the social atmosphere is there...

A Mustang with a dent on its hood was driving west along the street.

Han Chudong didn't know the road, so he did some research last night. However, due to traffic jams and road closures, he had driven onto a road he didn't recognize.

Just know the approximate direction of Hollywood, and you can't go wrong by driving west. When refueling, I asked the staff and changed the road and continued driving northwest.

Today's "date" went somewhat different from what he had imagined. Looking at Miss Bergman's state, it seemed as if she was going to sleep all the way to her destination.

I didn't wake her up. It had nothing to do with being a gentleman or not. It was simply because I thought she looked pretty when she was sleeping and I wanted to take a few more glances at her.

So, although we were taking her on a trip, most of the scenery along the way was seen by Han Chudong.

The streets were all old and dirty, and the traffic order was even worse. There was nothing much to say. It took some time to get to the Hollywood sign.

It has several decades of history and has been renovated several times, but the huge Hollywood sign has always remained the same, appearing in countless movies, and there are endless tourists coming to take photos every day.

Stop at an open space with a panoramic view.

No matter how bumpy the ride was, Miss Bergman did not wake up, but she woke up after the car stopped.

At first I was very confused, not knowing where I was or who I was.

Han Chudong teased her and said, "You're drooling, wipe it off."

After she wiped it, she realized she was being played. When she saw the Hollywood signs, Ms. Bergman's eyes widened and she exclaimed, "Wow, that's it!"

"He really trusted me. He slept so soundly that he didn't even wake up when we stopped to refuel."

Looking at Han Chudong, she smiled apologetically and said, "I always like to sleep in the car, and I stayed up late last night to write a study note, which I need to hand in to the teacher on Monday."

"It's okay. You're very funny when you sleep. I even took a few photos of you." Han Chudong didn't tease her this time. He smiled and got out of the car.

Apart from the Hollywood sign, there are no other attractions to visit nearby. I originally planned to go directly to other places, but I drove for so long, more than an hour, so I got off the car to stretch my body and take a photo as a souvenir.

Miss Bergman also got out.

The logo doesn't mean much, but it represents the prosperous history of American films. It reminds people of classic old movies and well-known movie stars.

After taking photos individually, they took a photo with her and continued on their way to the Avenue of Stars.

Leaving your comfort zone and seeing unfamiliar scenery, that's what traveling is all about.

It is difficult to meet celebrities on the street. Soon the vehicle drove to the vicinity of Huaxia Theater. There were some red tiles on the roadside with handprints and names on them.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

It can't be called a tradition. The earliest of these stars was born just over ten years ago. There are not many of them, and they are casually stepped on by passers-by.

It seems that we don’t know whether to commemorate them or to trick them.

Han Chudong bought two bottles of Coke and chatted with Miss Bergman while looking at the floor tiles with handprints. There were many movie-related shops and vinyl record stores around, and you could also see the signs of many film and television companies.

In the eyes of tourists, tourist attractions are just good places for some people to make money. There are also some guys with bad intentions who cheat tourists from all over the world.

A middle-aged man named Fred Cagney has been hanging around in this area for many years and has a terrible reputation in a certain small circle.

Fred Cagney is now 34 years old. He used to be an assistant director of an unknown movie and also invested a little money to start a film and television company. In the end, of course, he lost all his money and didn't even get back his costs. Now he lives in a nearly scrapped station wagon and even takes a shower by using water from a public toilet, which he does quickly in the dead of night.

This kind of poverty did not stop him from buying a nice white suit, growing a moustache, dressing like an ordinary person and hanging around every day, pretending to be a successful person.

He drinks by freeloading, eats discounted bread and hot dogs that are about to expire, and only buys discounted milk. It is very difficult for him to take five dollars out of his pocket.

His appearance was average, but his dressing style gave him some extra points. At this time, he had already followed Han Chudong and Miss Bergman for a while. He didn't want to steal their money, but he had his eyes on Miss Bergman.

There is never a shortage of beautiful girls in Hollywood, which is what kept Cagney from leaving Hollywood.

What’s even better is that many beautiful girls are stupid. In his eyes, the young girls on the streets nearby are simply gifts from God.

He saw Han Chudong, but Cagney just pretended he didn't exist, just an Asian.

Rubbing his face now, Cagney strode towards Miss Bergman and patted her on the shoulder, as he had done countless times before.

When she looked at him, Cagney handed her a business card and said, "Oh my God, that's perfect!

"I'm sorry to bother you. I'm the nominal director of Red Dream Films. I think you're very suitable to be the heroine of a movie. Can we find a place to sit down and talk? With your looks, you may very well become the next Audrey Hepburn!"

Han Chudong is not stupid. He frowned and warned, "There are a lot of scammers around here. They turn their backs on you once they put on their pants. People like this who come up and say they can make you famous are probably not good people. What the hell is this film and television company? I've never heard of it."

"Hey! I'm talking to this lady, not you. Just get this straight, OK?"

Seeing that Han Chudong was young, Cagney put on airs and tried to scare him. Normally, he actually preferred to chat up lone female tourists or young girls who had just arrived in Hollywood and were eager to become famous.

However, he really thought Miss Bergman was beautiful, so he wanted to give it a try even if it was a little risky.

When Bergman took the business card and looked at it, Fred Cagney's mouth curled up slightly.

He added: "We don't have a big budget, but if it is chosen by the producers, it only takes three months to shoot and we can earn $100,000..."

After more than 30 hours of power outage, the power finally came back on. I burst into tears. By the way, I ask for a collection and recommendation vote. (;Д`)
