Chapter 287 "Gossip Girl"

It's the off-season.

On average, there are only 1700 tourists a week, and the sales of single-day sightseeing packages are only one-twentieth of those during the peak season.

Suri had nothing to do. After returning to Lanai, she spent most of her time just resting.

I found time to play golf, surf, and ride horses, and even took a yacht to Diamond Head in Honolulu to visit my parents and my elders. After staying for a week in total, I flew back to Hollywood.

Thalia caught a ride, saved some money on air tickets, and offered to treat them to a meal.

After Su Rui declined, he took her to the downstairs of the apartment by car.

It's an ordinary apartment, but the surroundings are quite lively. "The Vampire Diaries" hasn't filmed a scene about a werewolf yet, and Thalia only needs to learn acting now.

after separation.

Jiang Jiaya told:

"Looking at her mood, she doesn't seem to be in a good mood. Talia has no friends here in Los Angeles. Her originally stable job as a snorkeling instructor has been disrupted by you. Is this helping her or hurting her?"

I didn't think about it at first.

After listening to Jiang Jiaya's words, Su Rui realized that he was indeed a bit negligent, so he said:

"You just exchanged contact information on the plane, right? It's best to invite her to dinner and afternoon tea on the weekend. Then ask the crew of "The Walking Dead" to see if they can temporarily arrange a small role for her. It’s just a good time to practice your acting skills in advance.”

Jiang Jiaya nodded, secretly noted this matter, and continued:

"In the latest episode of The Walking Dead, Daddario and the others have been moving to Los Angeles. I mean Los Angeles under the apocalyptic background, looking for the shelter mentioned in the broadcast. Wouldn't it be very convenient for you to meet her."

"Some special effects shots are already being produced in advance. Do you want to hear spoilers? Los Angeles has been destroyed by nuclear bombs. I am planning to communicate with the screenwriter to modify the next plot, just in time to arrange a role for Talia."

"You've already said it directly, why are you asking me?"

Jiang Jiaya was particularly speechless. Fortunately, she didn't dare to watch "The Walking Dead" so she could only zoom out and fast forward when encountering scary scenes. She has followed it intermittently until now, so it doesn't matter if it is spoiled.

She then asked:
"Then if the protagonist and the others enter the city, wouldn't there be radiation? What kind of plot do you plan to modify?"

"My idea is to have the protagonists track a special forces team and later discover a superyacht floating on the sea. When the season is about to end, I can also try to shoot some footage. At that time, let Talia be me His subordinates may continue to play supporting roles in the future.”

Suri only has a preliminary idea for the time being and needs to discuss it with the screenwriting team.

The writers were so bored on Lanai that they applied to move back to Los Angeles in mid-March.

When you first travel to the beautiful island of Lanai, you will be fascinated by the relaxation on the island, but you will feel bored after staying there for a long time.

Therefore, taking advantage of the rising housing prices in Lanai Town, many local residents did not hesitate to sell their houses and move to the city, preferring to replace single-family buildings with small apartments.

In suburban areas and small towns in the United States, it seems like every house is a small villa. In fact, it is mainly built of wood and is not valuable. It can be purchased for tens of thousands of dollars. Apart from the most basic living facilities, you have to travel far to find a place to play. place.

On the way, I just mentioned the "nuclear annihilation" of Los Angeles.

When he got home, Suri received a call, telling him that the relevant special effects had been produced and asked him to take the time to check and accept them.

Too lazy to go out again, he asked someone to deliver the latest episode of "The Walking Dead" and also asked the crew where they were currently filming.From the phone call, I learned that Daddario and the others would be filming near Echo Park in Los Angeles tomorrow evening, not far from the old house where Suri lived. They had applied to the city hall in advance to block a block of roads.

This TV series was broadcast on Christmas Eve last year and has aired 19 episodes so far. The first season is coming to an end.

The current plan is to shoot until the end of 24 episodes, just in time to use "Prison Break" to take over.

As for "The Vampire Diaries", there are more girls who follow the show. 77% of the accounts are female. They fall in love with handsome vampire boys and so on, which makes them more popular.

Since learning that HBO's streaming media platform is trying to create an urban romance drama that sells meat, Suri is also considering producing a school drama-"Gossip Girl". Based on the exciting romance in the upper class society of Manhattan, New York, and HBO's Streaming media platforms compete in the arena.

Since "The Vampire Diaries" attracted another wave of paid members, the money earned every month has exceeded the expenses. After spending so much money in the past few months, Netflix still has more than 4000 million US dollars lying on its entertainment account. .

Therefore, there is no pressure on Suri to plan a new drama similar to the American version of "Boys Over Flowers". What needs to be considered is that it is not yet clear whether this new drama from HBO is worth his money. .

There is not much information about this new HBO drama from the outside world. We only know that the actresses were asked to wear bikinis during the audition and were asked if they were willing to get naked.
Not long after I got home, I checked my phone to read the news.

The old butler helped pour a glass of water and came over to remind: "Master, do you still remember the invitation letter from Buckingham Palace? Will you attend it then?"

"This thing. I have already refused. I have to fly all the way to London and have to endure the torture of jet lag. It is better to rest at home. The process of a formal event like this is more complicated. I am worried that I will accidentally fall asleep and be caught by someone. It makes me lose face after taking pictures.”

It was grandma's birthday some time ago, and Su Rui didn't even make a special trip back, so why should she attend a stranger's birthday celebration.

The British attach great importance to such activities. He has no respect for the royal family and only finds it particularly troublesome.

The old housekeeper had no intention of persuading him and told him:
"I see. I'm planning to take your flight, just in time to go home and visit my granddaughter. The direct ticket from Los Angeles to London is too expensive, and you have to wait for several hours for the connecting flight. If you don't want to go, forget it."

Suri asked:

"What's wrong with going home? I can use my American Express credit card points to help you redeem a round-trip air ticket. It's of no use to me anyway. I've accumulated millions of points."

One point equals one dollar spent.

On weekdays, when I go out, I have to help Li and his bodyguards book hotels. Last time I went to Italy for a few days, I spent about 40 US dollars on credit cards.

The luxurious and comfortable life is all made of money. He lacks everything now, so it is really useless to keep the points.

The old housekeeper knew what was right, shook his head and said:

"I'm just asking casually. I hope my granddaughter can travel to Los Angeles during the summer vacation so as not to waste money on air tickets. This way she can still have a few days of fun."

Paying a salary of US$20 to the housekeeper every year will leave a lot even after taxes, and there will be bonuses during holidays.

It’s just the savings of the older generation, it’s not that they can’t even afford a plane ticket.

If you work next to him and live in poverty, then Su Rui should worry about whether the other party will attack him. For safety and privacy reasons, he usually gives generous bonuses.

After hearing this, he only said to the old housekeeper:
"You can give me your granddaughter's information when the time comes, and I will help you redeem the ticket. It can be done with just one phone call. There is no problem in staying at my place."

The old housekeeper's smile suddenly stiffened and he declined:
"She may not come yet, and she is only 17, which is a rebellious age. I'm worried that it will disturb you, so it would be better to find a hotel."

"???"

Su Rui instantly heard that he was trying to protect himself.
