Best of Hollywood

Chapter 27: new residence

For a whole day, Ryan was led by a real estate agent to look around houses, such as Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, North Hollywood, etc., and almost went around in a circle.

Oh, by the way, the real estate agent was introduced by Helen.

However, the one he chose was naturally not a mansion, but a detached apartment with better confidentiality.

In fact, just now, Ryan fell in love with an apartment in North Hollywood. It is not small, with a three-story structure, luxurious decoration, and a high wall around the outside. The confidentiality is very much in line with his wishes.

However, the rent of this apartment is naturally expensive, as high as 3,300 US dollars per month, and Ryan rolled his eyes when he saw it.

Now it was 1994, and the rent of $3,300 a month was ridiculously high, and he refused the real estate agent's offer.

The real estate manager could only show a look of pity, and continued to lead him to choose a suitable apartment.

Finally, in the northern part of Burbank, with the famous Nando Valley to the north and North Hollywood to the west, I finally settled on a very nice apartment with two floors, an all-wooden structure, a very simple design style, and a large area. There are more than one hundred and thirty square meters.

The most important thing is that the apartment itself is a single-family apartment. There is a small garden of more than 60 square meters in front of the courtyard, and there is a high wooden fence outside, which is very confidential.

To Ryan's satisfaction, the plants planted in the yard can be evergreen all year round.

Of course, if you follow the customs of the previous life, you can replace the plants inside with vegetables such as tomatoes and peppers, and then plant a big jujube tree or apricot tree after the completion.

In addition, the surrounding traffic is also very convenient. It is only five or six minutes away from the California section of Highway 5, and the San Fernando Valley area is only ten minutes away by car to the north.

There are many large supermarkets around, so shopping is not a problem at all, or it is very convenient.

In addition, it is only about 20 kilometers away from Los Angeles, so the traffic is very convenient.

Moreover, the rent is also very reasonable, only $800 per month, which is unbelievably cheap.

Even if it is now 1994, in the Burbank area, it is absolutely impossible to find such a price for a single-family apartment similar to the one in front of you, even if you can't find it with a lantern.

The price is low, the area is large, and the transportation is convenient.

This kind of house has never been rented out. If there is no problem, it will be hell.

Looking at the apartment in front of him, although there is no luxurious decoration such as a swimming pool, it is very simple and elegant. Ryan nodded secretly in his heart, feeling very satisfied.

However, the real estate manager reminded: "Mr. Ryan, although this apartment is very nice, the rent is also very cheap."

"But for Helen's sake, I have to remind you that I don't recommend you to rent this apartment."

Renting is not recommended!

Ryan was taken aback for a moment, then asked, "Why?"

"Or, what's wrong with this apartment!"

The real estate manager shrugged, pointed to a room on the second floor, and said, "A few months ago, there was a murder here."

"Because of bankruptcy and drunkenness, the owner of the apartment first shot and killed his girlfriend, and then shot himself."

"And, as far as I know, there have been more than one suicides in this apartment, and there are even rumors of being cursed by a witch."

After all, the real estate manager was introduced by Helen, so it's not good to hide this from Ryan.

"It wasn't until last month that his older sister rushed over from Australia, and after some simple renovations, the apartment was handed over to the real estate company."

"It's a pity that this matter has been published in the newspapers. Even though the rent is very cheap, no one cares about it."

It cannot be said that Americans are superstitious, but people all over the world are similar. No one wants to live in a place where murders have occurred, and more than one person has committed suicide.

What's more, there are rumors of being cursed by a witch.

The Curse of the Witch in the United States is well-known. In addition, "The Blair Witch" has been hyped a lot recently, and it would be **** if it could be rented out.

Of course, there are other reasons. For example, this is a rich area, and almost all the people who can come to rent a house have a lot of income. Naturally, they will not be greedy for cheap and rent a murder scene.

Hearing this, Ryan glanced at the second floor subconsciously, and it didn't feel eerie, but rather normal.

Anyone else would never consider renting such an apartment, even if it was very cheap.

Ryan was thinking about another question. "Chain Saw" could be filmed here, and it might be a great selling point.

Murder scene!

There have been more than one suicides!

An apartment rumored to have been cursed by a witch!

A proper haunted house, even a rare good place.

Oh, I was wrong, it should be a good place to shoot horror movies.

As for living!

Ryan can barely accept it. In the old house where he lived in the previous life, how many people have never died!

If you care about these, it may be difficult to find a suitable place.

Besides, at worst, after the filming is over, they can change to another apartment.

"Very nice haunted house."

"$500, as soon as the price drops to $500, I'll rent it."

Looking at the single-family apartment in front of him, Ryan felt more and more suitable for filming "Saw".

What better publicity than a haunted house.

The real estate manager looked at Ryan in surprise, what is a good haunted house!

It's hard to say, it's impossible to like haunted houses!

However, as a qualified real estate manager, he would naturally not refuse such a request.

"$500 a month is too low, at least $650 a month and pay a year's rent in one lump sum."

Ryan didn't care about it, and readily agreed.

"Okay, then we can sign the contract now."

"I want to move in as soon as possible to experience it." Ryan said thoughtfully.

What?

Try it out!

The face of the real estate manager changed, what did he want to experience? It's difficult to experience the scene of a murder, or the rumored curse of a witch, and think of the recent hoax about witches.

He secretly glanced at Ryan, thinking that he was another idiot chasing witches, and hoped that he wouldn't be scared enough to pee his pants at night, if he couldn't, he would have to remind Helen not to come here overnight.

Well, it's best not to come during the day.

"There is no problem at all. All the procedures can be completed today."

"Just cleaned one side a few days ago, ready to move in anytime."

No matter which real estate company it is, the speed of handling the formalities for the haunted house is frighteningly fast, without any delay. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

Lest customers regret.

That afternoon, Ryan signed a formal lease contract with the real estate company, and paid off the one-year rent of $7,800 on the spot, which made him feel distressed.

The only thing that was okay was that he got the keys to the apartment and could move in whenever he wanted.

At ten o'clock that evening, Ryan hired a moving company to move some luggage over. Sofia Coppola, who worked as an assistant and part-time coolie, naturally became the first guest.

Of course, in addition to being a guest, it is inevitable that you need to help organize things.

In fact, Ryan's personal belongings are not many, only a few changes of clothes, but some small shooting equipment, and some editing tools, which need to be transported by a moving company.

It took over an hour to finish.

Sophia Coppola was so tired that she didn't have a ladylike image. She lay on the sofa in the living room, complaining constantly, saying, "I really shouldn't have listened to Helen and applied for your assistant."

"These jobs should be done by your girlfriend or maid, not an assistant."

Ryan spread his hands and said helplessly, "I'm sorry, I don't have a girlfriend right now, and I don't have enough time to find a maid."

"Besides, as a friend, you should feel honored. After all, you are my first guest."

"Well, very honorable guest."

Sofia Coppola couldn't help but roll her eyes when she heard this, a coolie is a coolie, and a distinguished guest, is there a master who makes the guest work?

"Then, as a distinguished guest, should the host invite guests to celebrate?"

Ryan agreed immediately, and said, "No problem, we can start now."
