Hollywood Road

The black Chevrolet was very slow. When driving in another lane near the accident, Murphy kept looking there. The crashed car was already on fire, and the blazing flames burst out from the front hood, illuminating the surrounding area. It was transparent. The firefighters ignored the possible explosion hazard. Several people were busy putting out the fire while others were rescuing the wounded who were stuck in the car.

All of this reminded Murphy of the paintings he had seen in the TV news, and also of another video stored by Murphy in the notebook. He unconsciously retracted his eyes and turned to the portable video camera placed in the passenger seat.

There was a voice in his mind telling him that this is a very valuable news picture and should be shot immediately.

The car drove past the accident site, Murphy stepped on the brakes, stopped on the side road, grabbed the portable camera, got out of the car with the fastest movement, and then ran to the accident site while skillfully turning on the portable camera.

As if all this has been exercised countless times.

The two patrol officers on the periphery have pulled up the yellow warning belt and established a simple warning zone to prevent people from entering. In the warning zone, the fire is also slightly under control. Several firefighters are dismantling the deformed car door so that the inside The driver was rescued.

At the moment Murphy saw the car accident and decided to shoot, several cars were parked nearby. Obviously, watching the bustle is universal all over the world.

Someone came over, seeming to want to watch from a close distance, and two patrolmen hurried over to maintain order.

This gave Murphy a chance.

When he ran over, he had already turned on the camcorder to shoot. As a student of a film school with formal education and the memories of his predecessor, Murphy still has the ability in this area, but due to the night light, from The effect of shooting outside the cordon is not good.

At the moment when the two patrol officers were attracted by other onlookers, Murphy did not hesitate to bend over and drilled under the cordon, then took a few strides, and hid to the side of a fire truck, looking for a suitable angle. , With the help of the fire, the scene near the car was recorded into the lens.

The memory left by his predecessor tells Murphy that there are not a few people in Los Angeles who are engaged in similar jobs. Every time there is an emergency, these guys are like sharks smelling blood, and they will soon swarm.

Therefore, he must hurry up to take pictures that people can't see.

The fire became smaller and smaller, and the shots began to become blurred. Murphy turned to look at the ten o'clock direction on his left hand. The two patrolmen were still maintaining order, and the rest of the firefighters were focused on rescuing the trapped driver. No one noticed this side of the staff.

It was at this time that the deformed car door was finally pried open by the firefighter, and a long-haired woman was picked up from the car.

Even without professional training, Murphy knew that this was the most valuable picture. Without even thinking about it, he turned on the front light of the camcorder and rushed to the vicinity of the wounded who had been placed on the stretcher at the fastest speed. In the gap exposed by a firefighter and medical staff, the front view of the wounded was accurately captured.

The woman lay on the stretcher and groaned feebly. Many of her long golden hair was dyed red with blood. The left half of her face seemed to be one of the wounds, with a **** blur on it, which looked quite terrifying.

"Blood pressure 95-65, slow heartbeat..."

There are medical staff doing necessary examinations, "Pupillary dilation..."

Despite a feeling of nausea, Murphy's hand was quite steady, and he immediately switched to a large close-up, recording this scene comparable to an American plasma film accurately.

However, Murphy's shooting lasted less than ten seconds.

It is difficult for a large living person to go to such a place and the lights on the camcorder not to attract people's attention.

"Hey, what do you do?"

A rough voice sounded, and then the camera lens was blocked by a man in a firefighter uniform, "What are you doing?"

"Back, you back!"

A patrolman who was maintaining order also walked over quickly. He was not as polite as those firefighters and medical staff. He pointed to Murphy and said sternly, "You! Get out of here!"

As someone who has been in prison, Murphy knew that the police in the United States were definitely not as good as the media advertised, so he quickly turned off the light on the camcorder, raised a hand, and stepped back and said, "Okay. Okay, I'll go right away."

It seemed that Murphy wasn't retreating fast enough, so the patrolman followed and pushed him hard, "Back a hundred feet!"

He used a lot of strength this time, and Murphy was backing up again, tripped by the shards of the car crashed behind him, and almost fell to the ground.

Although a little annoyed in his heart, Murphy knew that he could not entangle the police. Fortunately, he was a mixed race, not a black man. Otherwise, the policeman on the opposite side might point out a gun.

Murphy steadied his body, accelerated his speed and retreated, the policeman on the opposite side with his arms akimbo, he looked majestic and majestic.

After another glance at the policeman, Murphy turned around, bent over and got out of the cordon, separated the onlookers who had been in a circle, and walked towards where he had parked.

Back in the car, took two deep breaths. Murphy started the car and left the accident site. Not long after driving out, he found a parking lot on the side of the road and drove directly in. After parking the car, he took it and put it in the co-pilot. The portable video camera on the camera turned on and saw the picture just taken.

From the very beginning of the filming to being kicked out from behind, Murphy took nearly three minutes of video, including not only the car on fire and the firefighter rescue, but also the close-up close-up of the wounded, which has a considerable visual impact. .

Shooting at this level is relatively easy for Murphy, who has a certain professional foundation.

Now that the video was shot, the portable camera could not be sold anymore. Murphy left the parking lot, turned a corner, and drove on the way home.

This video has the value of integrity only if it is sold. To sell this video, Murphy needs the contact information of the relevant TV station personnel left behind by his predecessor. They are all on the laptop at home.

And this video also needs some preliminary editing.

As he rushed home as fast as he could, Murphy went straight into the studio regardless of his hunger and groaning, and turned on the laptop. There was editing software on it. Although his ex was stupid, he was used for work. The equipment is not bad. The camcorder does not use old cassettes, but the latest digital storage technology.

Remove the bulky storage disk from the camcorder and connect it to the computer through a data cable. Murphy used editing software to cut the video shot, cut all the useless things, and mainly kept it after entering the cordon The shots were re-stored on the storage disk, and then I opened a folder on the notebook, found the contact information of some TV station related personnel, and made several calls.

Perhaps these contact methods were too old, or perhaps his bad luck, most of Murphy's calls were unanswered, and some of them were not very interested.

"Have you been busy for a long time, all you have done is useless?"

Murphy grabbed his short brown hair and dialed another number. After the bell rang several times, a voice came from the other side, "Hello, this is Fox Los Angeles Regional Channel Six."

"Hello." Murphy said as simply as possible, "I am a freelance journalist, and I have a video that I just shot..."

The person opposite seemed to be very busy, and said at a very fast speed, "Well, you bring the video over, do you know our address? You know? Come here as soon as possible."

After hanging up the phone, Murphy took the storage disk and drove directly to Burbank, where the Fox Los Angeles Regional Channel 6 is located. Due to the time spent on the road, it was already late at night when he arrived.

The place where Fox Los Angeles Local Channel 6 is located is a white building with a tall TV signal tower next to it. Murphy got off the car and entered the floor, explained his intentions to the security personnel at the door, and followed the directions indicated by the other party. The press department is located on the third floor.

The entire third floor is a huge news hall. Even if it is late at night, people are still very busy. Murphy walked in a little dazedly. Seeing someone coming from the opposite side, he quickly asked politely, "Excuse me, I have a video of the car accident that I just shot."

The man didn't lift his head, and moved his finger to the corridor on the left, "The first door on the left after entering."

Following the path the person pointed, Murphy found an office. Through the glass door, he could see several people sitting in front of the screen, seemingly discussing something.

Murphy knocked on the glass door lightly, saw the people inside look over, opened a crack in the door and said, "I have a video of a car accident for sale."

"Freelance reporter?"

A woman with long golden brown hair turned her head and looked here, "Who are you following?"

Murphy was shocked and walked in, "I will do it myself."

He could see that this woman should be the head of several people, and added, "It was a video of a car accident that happened near Hollywood on Sunset Boulevard this evening. A woman crashed a car, half of her face was ruined, and blood was everywhere. Yes, if she can survive, I will be very surprised."

These words obviously aroused the interest of the brown-haired woman, she nodded and said, "Well, let me see."

Murphy took out the storage disk, took the first two steps, and handed it to the blonde woman. A staff member next to him connected the storage disk to the screen according to the blonde woman’s instructions. After a second of snowflakes, Murphy was caught by Murphy. The carefully edited video played out.

"Oh, God!"

When the close-up of the injured woman was played, the **** scene made the staff member exclaim unconsciously.

Standing on their side, Murphy had been observing the blonde woman's expression, which was different from the staff's surprise. Seeing the **** picture, the blonde woman's blue eyes clearly revealed a very interesting excitement.

"This can be the headline of the morning news!"

She seemed to have completely forgotten Murphy at the back.
