Several cars parked at the airport door in Los Angeles, California.

As Payton walked out of the airport, he soon saw several men in suits and ties standing neatly in a row, holding a large sign in their hands to welcome Mr. Payton Chris.

Next to these men, Payton saw the familiar figure Raymond Chandler holding a cigarette pole.

Chandler leaned against the car, wearing a jacket and a cigarette pole in his mouth, looking cynical.

Payton smiled slightly and walked up with the bodyguard beside him.

Raymond Chandler next to the car saw Payton's figure and laughed: "I finally came here, but I can't wait."

"You guy is such a big scene!"

Payton glanced at the men in black suits beside him. He always felt that these people had a sharp aura and didn't look like they were.

The two bodyguards beside Payton also stared at these people with bright eyes.

They came from the army and went to the battlefield, and they vaguely felt a dangerous aura in these men in black.

Chandler smiled: "These are not arranged by me, this is Joe's people."

"Joe?"

"Yes, it's the producer who invited you over."

Payton suddenly realized, Paidmon's man?

This is normal.

Paramount is one of Hollywood's six major film companies with a distinct mafia background behind it.

The most typical evidence is that it launched the Godfather Series in the 1970s, completely changing the image of the Mafia among ordinary people.

A series of cultural beliefs have even been formed!

Payton disagrees with mafia culture and mostly jokes, but he also has some understanding of it.

However, in this way, these guys in suits and tie are likely to be local mafia.

This is a normal thing, where is Hollywood?

Golden Cave! Money Laundering Field!

Even more eye-catching than Atlantic City, the invasion of gray forces is indispensable.

Except for Paidmon, most of the other production companies also have gray supporters behind them.

"Okay, let's go quickly, the film festival is about to begin."

Payton nodded: "Let's go!"

Payton's purpose in coming to Los Angeles this time is very simple.

First, look at Chandler, a guy who doesn't live long, second, he was invited to attend the Hollywood Film Festival and watched his works be brought to the screen.

A year ago, through Chandler's front bridge pull line, he got in touch with the Padamon's men.

The boss of Paramount made a big deal and wanted to package all the copyrights of Payton's works at one time.

Unfortunately, Payton had his own plans and plans, but he did not agree.

Of course, it is mainly because this guy didn't give enough, so it was not enough for Payton to break his plan.

After a while of discussion, in several works, Paidmon's people chose "The Secret of the Poet."

This is Payton's second step of the world's work, and it is also the most sold work except "The Empire of Money" at that time.

The cost of filming of "The Empire of Money" is too high, so Paidmon plans to try out "The Secret of the Poet" and the other major production companies may also have the same plans.

Payton's "The Secret of the Poet" was taken over by Patamon's filming rights. After nearly a year of shooting, it was finally brought to the screen.

In the car, Payton and Chandler sat in the back row, their destination was in the northwest suburbs of Hollywood, which was a distance away.

The two talked slowly.

"Raymond, you look pretty good!"

Chandler smiled and said, "As long as I leave the hospital, I feel like I am alive. As long as I don't quit drinking and can smoke, I will always be a romantic gentleman."

Seeing Chandler's chic look, Payton didn't know what to say.

It's true that his complexion is good, but his obvious weight loss is also true.

This guy is born with a chic temperament, which can be seen from his writing style and attitude towards things.

Ordinary people will not marry a rich woman 18 years older than them when they are successful in their careers.

Be casual!

Avoiding his physical condition, Chandler smiled and said, "By the way, Chris, I'll tell you quietly that there was a surprise at this film festival."

"Surprise!" Payton was a little confused.

Chandler smiled mysteriously: "Wait a minute, you'll know!"

Payton was curious, but Chandler fired a cannon and lifted his pants and didn't say anything, so he had to wait.

The car gradually approached Hollywood, and the white letters on the hillside were seen from a distance, and Payton was a little surprised.

Chandler introduced to Payton carefully: "This was originally an advertising board set up by a construction manufacturer to promote the newly built residential community. There were four letters of LAND at the back, but later the letters were erased, and the advertisement was established here, which became a symbol."

The car slowly drove into Hollywood. Although Hollywood did not have the prosperity of later generations at this time, it still showed the courage of the world's film capital.

Moving forward, there are tall buildings, studio sites, and buildings in large areas.

In addition to shooting venues, hotels, TV stations, theaters, and houses should have them, with vast roads and numerous vehicles, and a prosperous future.

"Some years ago, CBS established the TV City at the junction of Fairfax and Beverly Streets. It was only completed last year. Once the TV City was completed, the prices of nearby housing prices rose by 30%.

“These real estate developers really make money!”

"Don't you want to congratulate you?" Payton laughed.

Chandler's hometown is Chicago, and later settled in Los Angeles, California because of his novel creation and screenwriter.

There are two properties near Hollywood, one of which was bought by his own screenwriter fee.

Another luxurious villa was said to have been bought by his wife for him.

envious!

Chandler shook his head: "I can't sell it. No matter how hot the real estate is, I'm not interested."

"By the way, I heard from the guild that in a few months, the city government plans to build a road as a landmark building to enhance the city's image."

"At that time, the prices of office buildings around you will most likely increase. If you have money, you can consider investing."

Payton nodded. He knew this road of Stars.

Chandler has a good vision, and it is indeed a profitable deal.

Such a building is like a label and can even become a symbol of a family, such as the Bath Family Lakers.

If Payton had a wealthy pocket, he could come and invest.

However, it will be difficult to buy this street!

There are not too many smart merchants in the federal government. Since the construction plan for this street has begun, there are naturally people who have solved the interests of the government and local guilds in all aspects.

This piece of meat already belongs to someone else!

It is not difficult to drink a sip of soup, but it is not easy to steal other people's meat.

...

The vehicle quickly drove into a wide road.

At this time, the road was parked with vehicles, and posters of "The Secret of the Poet" were covered with posters.

The characters on the poster are Elizabeth Taylor and Burt Lancaster.

Elizabeth Taylor is the heroine of the movie.

At this time, Elizabeth Taylor was far from the famous filming of Cleopatra.

A year ago, she starred in "The Father-in-law" and achieved good results. She was valued by Padamon and dug up from MGM. Now she starred in "The Secret of the Poet" and is a new star in the film industry.

Bert Lancaster is Paidmon's current star.

This man played a supporting role in the filming of "The Murderer" for the first time in 1946 and has since made a big splash and became a movie star, and then starred in "Blood Splashing Tiger Head Gate".

In 1948, he starred in the black thriller "Sorry, I'm Matching the Wrong" with Barbara Stanwick. Later, he starred in "Desert Flame" and other films for Paramount, becoming one of the most popular stars in Hollywood.

Payton doesn't have much impression of this male lead, and he doesn't know that the handsome male lead on the poster will be the starring actor of "Atlantic City" in the future.

"Elizabeth!"

"Look here! Look here!" One by one, the reporters holding the cameras yelled at Elizabeth Taylor who had just gotten out of the car.

Looking at the spotlight in front of you, Elizabeth Taylor smiled.

She wore a low-cut long skirt, showing her figure to the fullest, and the portrayal of a gap made the male reporter sigh and said that this was a beauty.

Her white and tender neck, tall and red long skirt, is like a mentor walking out of a dream, extremely sexy.
