Chatty Hollywood

You better watch out.

You better not cry.

You better not pout.

I'm telling you why:

Santa is coming to town...

Accompanied by melodious singing, the festival marked by an old man with a white beard is coming. Although those who have studied religion may know that the Holy Son who is the Holy Father and the Holy Spirit is actually born around the vernal equinox, but this does not prevent them from enjoying this annual festival. On the eve of Christmas, the streets of Los Angeles are filled with a peaceful atmosphere, as if the city of angels, which is usually impetuous, full of temptations and grotesque, really has an angel descending tonight.

The same is true in St. Andrew's Hospital. As a hospital, the smell of Lysol can never be transformed into the smell of turkey dinner, but the Christmas tree decorated with various ornaments still makes this hospital feel festive— —Although it is not easy to kiss a beautiful nurse under the mistletoe, the company of a dozen Santas still makes the patients feel a little warmth. They hug and take pictures with "hohoho" laughing Santas, accept worthless gifts from fake old people wearing fake beards, and don't care if there is a drunkard hiding under the fake white beard , a thief, or a fool who often goes high to heaven.

This is the miracle of Christmas, the miracle of this day only.

However, no matter what kind of miraculous moment, happiness is always accompanied by misfortune, just like the entanglement of light and shadow. Happiness always needs misfortune to set off, and unfortunate people will realize that they are unfortunate when they see other people's happiness——

"Would you like to buy a lucky rabbit leg for luck?"

There was no doubt that Sally hadn't been having the best of luck the last few days. And looking at the guy with gauze on his forehead, his eyes closed, and his hands still making strange gestures, she couldn't help but feel that her luck seemed to be even worse today.

"It's already Christmas Eve! Lord, please bless me a little more!"

Although he is not a devout believer, the mentality of cramming for the moment is common to everyone.

When it comes to Los Angeles, many people will naturally associate Hollywood, and Sally is no exception. It has been a while since she came to Hollywood to work hard. Although it was not smooth sailing, she finally got her first role last month—of course, it was just a small supporting role that couldn't be smaller. The lines depend on how they are edited in the end, but compared to a girl who lives in Hollywood and can only make a living by working in restaurants on weekdays, and is occasionally harassed by some science freaks, Sally, who used to be a model, can already say It's on the fast track to fame.

——As I said before, happiness always needs misfortune to set off. If it's someone else's misfortune... so much the better.

However, when racing in the fast lane, there is always the possibility of an accident. After all, not everyone is a veteran driver, and you don't know if you're getting into a hearse. What's more, when God opens a window for you, who knows if the old man who likes to play tricks will erect another door behind the window, and then lock the door with seven or eight locks——

Yesterday, the director called her and "regretfully" told her that her role had been canceled due to script adjustments.

Although the director's tone was indeed "regrettable", the dissatisfaction that could not be concealed in those words convinced Sally that the reason why she lost the role she had already obtained was only because the director hinted at her while drinking at the bar a few days ago Waiting for him in the alley behind the bar, "Dedicated to art", but she directly conveyed these words to a gentleman beside her with a silver stud on his left ear and an exquisite Italian handmade suit,

And hinted at this gentleman, the director admires him very much...

"I can only help you here, I wish you happiness! Don't thank me!"

Sally really wanted to reply to Mr. Director in this way, but to her regret, she forgot to ask the name of Mr. "Ear Stud"...

But even with the spikes, Sally was still a young girl, and the setback left her so depressed that she got very drunk at the cider house near her rented apartment. Although at the last moment before she passed out vomiting and passed out, she realized that as a beautiful young girl, drunk, she would become the favorite of the "corpse pickers" who patrolled the neighborhood, but her liver did not instantly The ability to metabolize large amounts of alcohol—

"If I wake up and find myself sleeping in some cheap hotel room with someone's 'pipe' in my mouth, I'm going to bite it off!"

——This was the girl's decision before she passed out.

Fortunately, God did not arrange for her to become a criminal;

Unfortunately, when she woke up with a hangover headache, she was in the hospital with an expensive ambulance bill in front of her—

"What!? I was about to commit suicide by jumping off the overpass after drinking, but even though I was rescued, I knocked the person who rescued me unconscious!?"

When she learned the reason from the rude doctor named House, Sally couldn't believe it at all.

"Let's not talk about whether the height of the street bridge is enough to commit suicide. I used to be a model! Model!! Model!!! Do you know what a model is!? Just to make myself skinny and torment myself every day like a slave master tortures a poor slave What a fool!! In order to save myself a pound of fresh meat, I would rather go to Sherlock! How could such a fool who left all his body weight to Venice seriously injure a big man! Doctor, you think I am a fool !?"

——Well, although the young girl is already incoherent, the place she doesn't want to believe is obviously special.

However, Dr. House was indifferent to the girl's excitement:

"Even if you can deny Newton's law of inertia, the hospital bill still has to be paid. Cash or credit card, ex-model, Miss Idiot who doesn't want to be taken for a fool by me?"

——People who can see through the essence of things at a glance are really annoying!

Sally was shocked that she would commit suicide after drinking. But for this young girl in Hollywood with no social security and just lost her job, the ambulance bill was even more serious.

"Which bitch called the ambulance!? If you save someone, save someone. What kind of ambulance is it called! Why don't you just leave me alone! Do you know how expensive ambulances are in America?"

——At this moment, for Sally, who has nothing in her purse, to be or not to be, this is a question...

Of course, Sally also knew that this ambulance was actually called more for the unconscious poor guy who was hit by her. After all, the reason why she didn't even hurt herself when she jumped from the overpass was thanks to the guy on the back below. If she doesn't have to come to the hospital, it's hard for the other party to say.

After weighing her conscience and her wallet for a long time, Sally decided to pay the bill for her savior. Of course, this is because it is obviously impossible for an unconscious person to call the ambulance, and secondly, it is impossible for an unconscious person to pay.

Just like this, her wallet was completely turned into a vacuum. If it wasn't for the two credit cards that could be overdrafted, she might only be able to buy three matches for Christmas this year and light them in the corner to keep warm.

"If I can't find an opportunity to act these days, I guess I can only go to the Cheesecake Factory (Cheesecake Factory) to work with Penny!"

The girl, who had prepared for the worst, decided to take another look at the culprit who caused her current situation before leaving the hospital-although in the final analysis, it should be her own drunkenness that caused the subsequent series of things. But as we all know, being unreasonable is a woman's prerogative, and Sally clearly had no intention of giving up that privilege.

"WTF!? This guy is awake!?"

——Don’t wake up in the morning, don’t wake up in the evening, but you woke up just after the old lady paid the bill, you did it on purpose! ! ?

Obviously, poverty did not limit Sally's imagination, but indirectly magnified her imagination.

"But what does this mean? Although Dr. House said that a concussion may cause temporary amnesia, but in this appearance, what is lost is not memory at all, but the entire brain!"

Seeing the other party lying on the hospital bed with her eyes closed tightly, muttering words, and making strange gestures with her hands, Sally's first reaction was that this guy had lost his mind.

——However, the movements of this guy's hands are a bit like the movements of those people called "daoshi" in the Hong Kong movies I have seen before?

At this moment, the "demented" person opened his eyes.

***************************

PS1: The title of the first chapter, I believe everyone has seen it, "City of Angels", a very famous old movie, of course it is also an alias for Los Angeles. I hope that the names of all the chapters of this book can be made with the names of movies, TV dramas, animations, and novels, sometimes followed by subtitles as a summary of the chapter content;

PS2: Because this book is essentially written about movies, there are chapters where a certain movie was actually filmed, so when I use the name of this movie as the title, at that time, I will add the title of the book to the name of the movie. Make a difference from the usual topics;

PS3: The song at the beginning is "Santa Claus Comes to Town". Although it is not as famous as "Jingle Bells" in China, it is also a good Christmas song with a lot of taste. It has been quoted in many American dramas and movies, such as A Christmas special on Bones;

PS4: Rabbit legs can bring luck. It is a superstitious tradition in the United States. Some say it originated from Voodoo, and some say it comes from Indian legends. Anyway, some people believe in this;

PS5: The one used to compare with Sally is someone from "The Big Bang Theory", needless to say! Since it is a Hollywood story, I will insert some easter eggs in it by the way.

PS6: By the way, any character in a film or television drama becomes a real person in a novel like this, and the related film and television drama will not be specifically written in this book. Therefore, the protagonist of this book Will not shoot or supervise "The Big Bang Theory" like many Hollywood books;

PS7: Men's earrings and handmade Italian suits are generally a symbol of GAY. Xu Zheng and Huang Bo also borrowed this stalk in "Heart Blossoming Road";

PS8: Where did Dr. House get the easter eggs, needless to say;

PS9: Sally's self-deprecation, taken from Shakespeare's "The Merchant of Venice";

PS10: to be or not to be, which works from Shakespeare, needless to say;

PS11: Three Matches, taken from "The Little Match Girl";

PS12: Cheesecake Factory is a well-known chain light food restaurant in the United States. Although it is an Italian restaurant, it seems to sell everything. Penny in The Big Bang Theory worked there;
