Drive into a McDonald's drive-through, Ronnie opened the storage box, took out a stack of coupons, picked out a Big Mac package, attached a dollar bill, two 25 cents, and a 10 cent coin, and handed it into the cash register window.

The original price of the great giant package is $2.59, and the coupon is only 1 yuan.6 yuan.

With the paper bag wrapped in the package, Ronald drove back to the apartment.

People living in Venice Beach are not rich, and most of the residents are middle and lower-level residents. They are mainly white, so the public security is fine.

Ronald was a little hungry and went home and started eating the Big Mac burger and drinking Coke.

This apartment is a one-bedroom, one-living room, and Venice is relatively remote, with a low rent, less than US$200 a month.

Apart from being far away from the city, there is no disadvantage. Ronald has a car, goes to and from get off work every day, and it takes more than half an hour to go one way, so there is nothing to be dissatisfied with.

Throwing the trash that had been eaten into the trash can, Ronald took the changed clothes and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

I remembered that I would get up early tomorrow, take a shower and wash up, and go to bed early. Ronald wiped the fog on the mirror with his hand and wiped out a handsome face. His eyes were deep, his nose was straight, and his well-proportioned body was the result of years of physical exercise. No matter from any angle, he could be considered a handsome guy.

After the movie "Superman" adapted from the comic was released last year, everyone said that he looked like Christopher Reeve, who played Superman.

It's a bit like that. Ronald is also tall, 6 feet 2 (1.88 meters). However, Superman has black hair, his hair is dirty and blond, the roots are close to black, and the ends are golden. His eyes are amber, and the inner circle close to the pupil is dark brown, and the outer circle is golden.

His hair and eyes are not solid color, and he is a very typical American string. His ancestors don’t know how many countries he has. However, Ronald does not have the strong body odor common to white people, and he is like the Chinese in his previous life. This makes him very relieved. He doesn’t have to spray deodorant under his armpits like those of his high school wrestling team.

Ronald changed his clothes and lay on the bed, thinking a little bit about Aunt Karen from New York.

Since he came here, Ronald miserably discovered that he had no memory of his previous life at all, and had only retained some skills. For example, driving, drawing comic strips, Chinese-style wrestling, and mute English that could only be written and could not speak. At the beginning, he could only pretend that he could not speak.

Aunt Karen was very anxious and took him to see a doctor. After some examination, the doctor believed that the brain was hit, which caused a rare aphasia, and he could only learn to speak again like a child.

Ronald found the secret book "New Concept English" for Chinese people to learn English. After studying hard for half a year, he added a full English environment to learn to speak again.

Later, he joined the high school wrestling team. Unfortunately, the Chinese wrestling habits that were caught in people's clothes could not be changed, and he was not used to freestyle wrestling with people's necks. He failed the inter-school competition and did not receive a university sports scholarship.

It was not until one day that he accidentally picked up the camera of his classmate in his wrestling team that he discovered the most useful skill in his previous life - taking pictures.

Metering with empty hands, lighting, and posing, as if you can take qualified portraits without thinking. Could it be that you were a photographer in your previous life? This skill can make money now.

Aunt Karen worked hard to save $200 and wanted to buy him a used car. This is a tradition in Amerika's middle-class family. The child took the driver's license exam for adults, and the father bought a used car for the child.

Ronald didn't ask for a car, so he took the money to buy a second-hand Nikon F2 SLR camera and a few rolls of film. From then on, he became a photographer and made money by taking various portrait photos.

After graduating from high school, Ronald did not have enough money to go to college, so he took a year off to earn tuition. With more than 500 dollars in a "huge sum", he bid farewell to Aunt Karen and Donna's cousin. It took 12 days to drive from New York to Los Angeles along the Interstate 40 Expressway.

After a year of rest, he was completely useless. He looked like an 18-year-old boy. His clients didn’t believe in his photography skills. He didn’t make enough money when he was a portrait photographer. In the countryside of Stanton Island, there were not many fast food restaurants, so he hired young people to work.

Soon Ronald discovered that in portrait photography, the easiest way to make money is to take auditions for actors, which is simple and easy to make money. Two big-headed photos of A4 size can charge more than 100 US dollars. There are not many people in New York making movies, so Ronald came to Hollywood to look for opportunities.

When I came to Hollywood, I took some portraits one after another, and my reputation could attract customers. However, when people saw that he was young, they were unwilling to believe in his strength. They could only charge $30-50 per set and filmed it for novice actors who had not yet entered the industry.

Ronald wants to join a movie crew and put his name into the end credits, so that he can make the customer believe that he is a "insider". Charge more money and save enough tuition, book fees, accommodation, etc. as soon as possible.

Later, I went to New World Production to apply for a screenwriter. After being selected, I didn’t write a page of scripts, but I worked as a script reader for several months. Two weeks ago, my boss was stuffed into the "Rock High School" crew as an assistant, and my main job was to make coffee...

Feeling a little sleepy, Ronald set the alarm clock at 04:30 tomorrow morning and turned over and fell asleep.

...

I don't know how long I've been sleeping in the dark, but Ronald heard someone talking outside. He opened the door and walked outside the house. There was a white screen on the open space in the middle of the apartment, as if someone was playing a movie?

Taking advantage of the faint light, Ronald found that there were many people sitting in front of the screen. Is this a party?

"Sit down!", someone scolded him.

Ronald sat in the middle of the last row near the aisle, next to the projector.

It seems a bit wrong. The person just now said it was Chinese. Ronald wanted to find the person who spoke out loud. There are not many Chinese people speaking Mandarin in Los Angeles now. At least you can ask about the situation in China.

Suddenly the screen lights up. Ronald was startled, and a bunch of English popped up, with red capital letters:

“fbi    warning”.

Here are a line of small words:

“Under federal law, any unauthorized copying, distribution or publication of copyrighted films can result in severe civil or criminal punishment (U.S. 17, 501 and 508). The FBI is responsible for investigating complaints of copyright infringement (U.S. 17, 506)”

This is a copyright warning.

"Why haven't you started yet? What movie is being played today?" The man was speaking Chinese again.

More than ten seconds later, the screen jumped out of the screen and everyone calmed down.

A three-story white building jumped into the picture, and the sun shone gently on the upstairs. There was no one, only a few crickets were squeaking... squeaking... to contrast the tranquility of the environment.

A few seconds later, under the screen, a line of big red characters jumped up "A movie made by New World, copyright @1979, New World Production Company."

Huh?

It was actually a movie produced by New World where I worked. But why do I get the copyright next year?

The camera turned to a big sign with yellow-bottomed green words written with Vince Lombardy High School. There is another sentence below: "Winning victory is not the most important thing, it is the only thing."

The boss Ronald's mouth open-mouth, Vince Lombardy High School, isn't it the fictional school name in the script? Isn't this movie the "rock high school" that is being filmed today, right?

Everything was shown on the screen. A student appeared on the screen. He looked at the map on the wall with a red cross on it, and the red cross read: "You are here."

"Where am I?" the student murmured to himself.

A group of team members wearing rugby uniforms came over and grabbed the student, carried him and left the scene. A female student wearing big black glasses appeared on the camera, standing next to the platform to welcome the new student.

Various chemical experimental vessels on the table were filled with red, green and blue liquids. Next to it was a sign with the words "Kate Lanbao, Science Society, Chemical Reaction Demonstration".

The picture cuts to another handsome boy, someone called him Tom. Tom walked out of the teaching building and sat on the table to have a meal. Kate Lanbao went up to meet him, but Tom, who was confused about the charm, rejected her and began to read the book.

The picture was all over again. Another beauty in red played the Ramons record and started playing this kind of rock music with a strong rhythm. The students began to dance on the playground, and the red title "Rock High School" appeared.

It's indeed a "rock high school"!

Ronald thought.

"Boss, it's good to change the part." Someone was shouting.

"That's it, it's for the war."

"The martial arts are changed, and the martial arts are good-looking."

"Is there any director Wang? Change that gold..."

Suddenly someone got up, walked to the machine next to Ronald, pressed a button, and the screen turned into a white light again.

The machine spits out a black box. On the white label on it, four Chinese characters were written in red water pens.

“Rock High School.”

"Boss, change the movie!"

The man waved the black box-cam screaming.

"Ah!" Ronald shouted and rolled off the bed.
Chapter completed!
