Chapter 86 Moving

In New York City, the huge Hollywood screenwriter strike is still ongoing.

However, Zhao Yuan, who was a participant, had already withdrawn from the front line of the strike in New York.

Fly back to Los Angeles.

The main purpose of his trip to New York to participate in the strike was to evolve the script. Now that the goal has been achieved, he naturally has no intention to continue to accompany the large army to march on the streets every day.

After all, as a screenwriter who is now well-known in Hollywood, he can't keep showing up in public during a strike.

In fact, the big names who participated in the strike parade also ran to the parade and took photos in front of the media to express their support for this strike, and then turned around and continued to enjoy the colorful and glamorous life in Hollywood.

...

“Recommended downtown?”

On the phone, Wen Ziren couldn't help but look surprised when she heard Zhao Yuan's inquiry.

He received a call from Zhao Yuan. He originally thought he was here to inquire about the later progress of "Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2", but he didn't expect that the other party did not mention anything about the movie at all, but asked him what good neighborhoods are worth recommending in Los Angeles.

"The security in the community where I currently live is not good, so..."

Compton, cheap apartment.

“…Fu** you, you little bird pool…”

"Why, why do you do this? Are you going to take revenge on me? How old are you? It would be fine if you missed class and went to fool with men. Now, you actually came back with a big belly for me. How old are you? You actually want to be a mother for me. Tell me, which kind of bastard child in your belly is..."

"Don't worry, I'll give birth to the baby!"

"Xiao Bichi, you know what you are talking about. If you give birth to a child, you can't even raise yourself. You have to raise a child who doesn't know that guy!"

While listening to the familiar black mother and daughter next door, Zhao Yuan explained to Wen Ziren on the phone.

"I plan to move to a better community with more security when the strike is free."

After exploring the evolution location of the system and being able to replace it with the recording function, Compton's attraction to Zhao Yuan fell sharply to the bottom.

Since it can easily evolve scripts in a community with beautiful environment and perfect public security.

Why should he crouch in a dangerous place like the Compton neighborhood, fearing the stray bullets that flew from nowhere at any time, and the black people who gathered together in the alleys of the neighborhood.

Speaking of which, as early as the end of last year, the lease signed by Zhao Yuan and his landlord was about to expire, and there was less than a month left.

However, no surprise, the stingy landlord tore up the contract and had no intention of refunding the remaining deposit. He was only allowed to continue living in the apartment until the deposit was deducted and then swept out. In fact, this was also the ending for most tenants in Compton.

Faced with the landlord's forced lease renewal, Zhao Yuan of course could choose to leave directly.

However, he was in the busiest stage at that time. Whether it was the filming of the movie "Blair the Witch" or the evolution of Texas, the moving matter was delayed over and over again under the circumstances. As a result, the cheap apartment he rented became his only temporary residence in Los Angeles.

However, when I got used to the crew of "Modern Family", the community security environment in the community where the family filmed was sunny and birds were singing and flowers were fragrant.

Back to the chaotic neighborhood of Compton, Zhao Yuan and his friends always feel uncomfortable.

As the saying goes, it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.

This seems even more naked in a capitalist society like America.

In America, slums and rich areas are completely different from the extremes of life.

...

"If you want to move to a better security area, Beverly Hills will always be the first choice. As one of the most well-known places in Hollywood, it has a perfect security system and has police patrols around 24 hours a day. It is definitely the safest place in the entire United States, except for the White House."

Although Wen Ziren's introduction is a little exaggerated, it is undeniable that Beverly Hills is indeed perfectly in line with Zhao Yuan's requirements for good public security.

But thinking about his current value.

Although he made a lot of money because of the big sale of "Blair the Witch" and the early shooting of "Modern Family".

However, compared with the housing prices of luxury houses in Foley Hills that cost 40 to 50 million yuan, there is still a big gap in the price of luxury houses. Behind the luxurious public security of Foley Hills, it is piled up with a lot of US dollars. Otherwise, why do you think the police would patrol nearby 24 hours a day?

Not because they paid too much.

The salaries of American police officers come from local property taxes.

Rich community police are loyal to their duties and have strong police power, so naturally they are motivated because of their sufficient salary.

...

I think I am the mastermind behind the scenes and have the ability to make up the world, but I am still worried about not being able to afford a luxury house.

For a moment, Zhao Yuan even had the idea of ​​directly using systematic evolution scripts to make money.

Of course, this idea of ​​making money just splashed a little in his mind and quickly calmed down.

With his current reputation in Hollywood, it is a perfect thing to buy a luxury house in Beverly Hills as long as he "creates" script step by step. Since that's the case, why waste the [Plot Value] that he finally obtained in the system.

Shaking his head and suppressing his thoughts that were ready to move, Zhao Yuan then said to Wen Ziren on the phone speechlessly.

"Forget it, Beverly Hills is not the scope I can consider at the moment. You should recommend some realistic places to me."

"hey-hey."

Hearing Zhao Yuan's speechless reaction on the phone, Wen Ziren smiled. The luxury house in Beverly Hills, not to mention Zhao Yuan, even if he is a director who has already become famous in Hollywood, he can't afford to live in.

However, several more reasonable choices were also given.

"If you don't choose Beverly Hills, Malibu, or Santa Monica, which has been developing rapidly recently, is also good. Of course, when it comes to the most suitable place for Asians to live, San Marino, known as the "Little Beverly Hills". Asians occupy almost half of the population there and are also one of the few urban areas with the lowest crime rate."

"San Marino?"

I heard the name of the city mentioned by Wen Ziren on the phone.

Zhao Yuan couldn't help but murmur.

Since you can't afford to live in Beverly Hills for the time being, Little Beverly Hills seems to be a good choice.
