"Uh... yes, it's in Los Angeles, on the west coast of America."

Thinking that Alan didn't know much about places like America, Siphis turned his head and looked around. He saw an old-fashioned globe on the bookshelf, moved the globe over, and pointed out the location of Los Angeles to Alan on the globe.

"Los Angeles……"

Alan remembered that this was the place where old Carl had fled to...

He knew Hollywood, but he just didn't remember that Hollywood was in Los Angeles.

Isn’t this a coincidence?

…

"Well... I'll write you an address. You take this and go to Los Angeles in person. While looking for actors, you can also find a man named Old Carl at this address and ask him to come back!"

Some time ago, an accident happened and Allen was frightened. Considering that old Carl had been loyal to the family for so many years, he let him run away and asked him to contact his family after a month.

Nowadays, communication is not convenient. Although there are cordless phones like the first generation of mobile phones,...

That thing is terrible in terms of both signal and call quality. It is basically only used in a small range. The main means of communication for the general public is still landline and letters.

And it would take some time for old Carl to call home, and Alan didn't have his contact information, so he could only write down the address of the property and let Siphis go find the person in person.

In the future, old Carl can focus on Hollywood there and also be responsible for finding actors for Allen.

Although he looks down on America, it doesn't stop Allen from asking people to poach people from there.

Thinking of this, Alan paused, frowned, looked at Siphis and asked, "Is the film and television industry in Great Britain so weak now? Is it so hard to find actors? Then can we get all the crew members together? Don't tell me that we have to go to the United States to find even photographers and production staff?"

"Not really... It's just that actors in film and television dramas, our domestic..." Siphis made a helpless expression and continued, "They have more opportunities and a more complete mechanism, so if many actors want to go further, they will go there to develop, or go to the mainland to develop."

Britain is isolated overseas. The continent that Siphis refers to here is France, Germany, Italy, Spain and other places in the south. Anyway, it seems that Britain's film and television industry is doomed, and only the old, weak, sick and disabled are left at home, vulnerable to any attack.

"Okay... I got it. You go and do your work first." Alan wrote down an address, tore off the note and handed it to Siphis, then waved his hand and told him to get out.

…

Until this moment, Alan belatedly had a different idea.

In the many years since he came into this world, he has either been educated at home or studied outside. When he got older, he served in the navy and spent a long time on the sea or stationed in the port.

He actually had very few channels for contacting the outside world. Information these days was far less developed than in the future, especially not as developed as in his previous life.

We have the Internet and smartphones. To put it bluntly, as long as you have a phone that can access the Internet, you can search for any information you want with just a few clicks.

Although some confidential information may be difficult to find or even impossible to find, general information can probably still be obtained.

But this is not possible in this day and age. Nowadays, information is disseminated mainly through paper media, with television and radio as channels.

Even when watching TV, it is mainly filled with junk programs and junk advertisements. Some paid subscription channels have professional fixed classified programs. Apart from these, if you want to know specific information about a certain industry, you can only go to the library to look up information.

This results in information gaps, delays and limitations.

In the past, Allen had never deliberately sought information about the film and television industry. Anyway, he didn't care at the time. But now that he is interested in digging deeper into this industry, he can collect some information in this area.

Apart from anything else, could this place be exactly the same as my original world?

If there is just the slightest difference, even if he doesn't have a golden finger now, can he be a plagiarist or something?

Not to mention replicas, as long as he remembers the general plot and creativity, he can come up with many future IPs, such as Batman, Spider-Man, Iron Man and other "gold mines".

It would be a waste if you don't fleece the Americans!

…

"Don't be impatient, don't be impatient..."

Taking a deep breath, Allen slowly calmed down. This kind of thing cannot be rushed. Picking up the manuscript paper, Allen tried hard to recall the famous and influential IPs he could think of, and recorded them one by one on the paper. Some of these movies should have been filmed, some may not have been filmed yet, and some may only have comics that have not been adapted into movies. Time is too chaotic and he can't remember it clearly for the time being, but now he just needs to sort out his thoughts, write down the approximate title and the general story outline, and then...

You can ask the people below to go to the domestic film and television union to check if there are any records and information in this regard. The next step is to go to the United States to check again. If it already exists, then we won’t talk about it.

If there is something that hasn't been made yet, even if he doesn't want to shoot it, he will let his screenwriters finish the script and take the title first to seize the initiative. If someone in Hollywood dares to make a similar film, he will sue them for plagiarism!

…

A few days later, Los Angeles.

The Hollywood Actors Guild headquarters.

The white multi-storey office building has a very simple design, with long strips of green glass. The entire office building looks like two matchboxes placed close together.

The most eye-catching part of the protruding side of the building is a black logo several meters high that decorates the building.

An abstract logo of a man in a tuxedo holding a trophy in his right hand, with the name of the Screen Actors Guild below.

…

Qiao Wanni walked in front with a somewhat nervous look on his face, followed by a well-dressed middle-aged man carrying a briefcase.

The middle-aged man looked left and right along the way with a smile on his face, as if he was extremely curious about the interior of the Actors Guild's office.

"Sir... We're here. This is the director's office."

Qiao Wanni stood in front of an office that was tightly blocked by blinds, turned around and whispered a reminder.

"Thank you, Qiao Wanni. Please knock on the door. I think the director will welcome my visit."

Qiao Wanni listened to the middle-aged man's words without commenting. In the acting industry, or in the entire film and television industry, no one likes to deal with lawyers, let alone this lawyer in front of him whose purpose is unknown. He feels that this lawyer seems a little arrogant and has bad intentions.

“Bang, bang, bang…”

Qiao Wani knocked on the door, and suddenly there was the sound of a teacup falling in the office, followed by a low roar and a slight female moan.

The middle-aged man smiled as if he was used to it, and said to Qiao Wanni with a look in his eyes, "It's okay, I understand. Maybe the director is evaluating the actress' acting skills. There's no rush."
