There is a bar in Houhai

Chapter 553: Avenue of Stars
Qin Mohan's question made Qin Ruoxi and Jin Yaran, two brave little girls, very curious. They looked at Shen Fang excitedly: "Brother-in-law, can we really see the ghost of Marilyn Monroe here?"

"Of course not." Shen Fang first said to the two little girls, and then said to Qin Mohan and the others: "Boldly live here, there is no problem. Didn't we just see Matt Darling downstairs Have you settled in?"

Then Shen Fang explained to them: "Because it is close to the Avenue of Stars and this hotel is the venue for the first Oscar, many late superstars have stayed here, so they are here. Tales of haunted spirits.

The most famous of these are Montgomery Clift and Marilyn Monroe.There is also a Marilyn Monroe suite on the second floor.In fact, these are just marketing methods of the merchants. The news is also released by the merchants to attract more tourists.Hope to meet my idol. "

"Brother, there is Marilyn Monroe's suite downstairs? Can you go down and visit it?" Jin Yaran couldn't help but want to visit after hearing the news.

There is nothing special about the "Marilyn Monroe Suite" at the Roosevelt Hotel. It just restores the scene when Monroe lived in this house in the 50s, old TV series, solid wood furniture, and historical curtains And the tablecloth, even the sofa is old-fashioned, these are the real objects of the previous house, which have been completely preserved by the hotel for countless movie fans to express their condolences.

On the walls of the suite, there are many stills and portraits of Marilyn Monroe, as well as oil paintings by many famous painters, including the most famous photo of covering her skirt.

"Foreigners are too uncreative. They should put a wax figure or statue of Monroe here for tourists to take pictures with." Qin Ruoxi was disappointed after seeing it. Her words were agreed by Jin Yaran, because they still couldn't understand these things. The unique meaning contained in the old objects is more intuitive and judged by personal perception.

Qin Mohan admired these posters and old objects one by one, and then exited the room with a group of people.

Back in her room, Shen Fang contacted Megan Hart. She was surprised when she received Shen Fang's call, and knowing that Old Jack had brought her a gift, she thought about it and agreed to accept it.It's just that she is at work now, and asked about the hotel where Shen Fang lives, and plans to come and pick it up early tomorrow morning.

Gu Yali and the others bid farewell to Shen Fang and Qin Mohan, and they planned to go to various scenic spots by themselves. Qin Ruoxi and Jin Yaran saw that the weather was fine, so they proposed to go out for lunch, and then enjoy it on the Avenue of Stars.

The Hollywood Walk of Fame was built in 1958. It is a pedestrian street extending from Hollywood Boulevard and Vine Street. After the first star was awarded to the American actress Joan Woodward on February 1960, 2, there have been 9 people. Many stars who have contributed to the entertainment industry from all over the world have been awarded stars, and their names are here.

This is also one of the most important attractions in Hollywood. Every day, countless tourists come here to visit and take photos with their idol stars.There are also many imitation artists performing on the Avenue of Stars, some imitating Chaplin, standing next to Chaplin's star and performing various comedic actions to the passing tourists, attracting many tourists to take group photos.

"Don't they charge?" Qin Ruoxi asked in surprise.I used to go to the TLF Flame Mountain Scenic Area in Xijiang with my parents. There were several characters who played Monkey King and Zhu Bajie. If you took a photo with them, you would have to give money.

Shen Fang explained: "They won't take the initiative to charge. These are street performers who are honing their acting skills. Do you see if there is a top hat in front of them? If you want to pay, you can put it directly in it. You can do whatever you want, but don't take the initiative. It is an insult to give money to the other party."

"In addition to honing their acting skills, they also want to use these opportunities to perform in public to gain the approval of some tourists and agents, so as to obtain roles in film and television dramas."

The two little girls understood, they took the change from their purses and put them in the top hats in front of each other, and then took a group photo with each other.

Taking photos with street performers requires payment, but taking photos with stars is more about waiting in line.Especially some artists with special status.

Big Brother's star is the 2th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. "Jackie Chan", this is the name of the big brother Cheng broke into Hollywood.Next to it, a bunch of tourists from China waited in line to take pictures.

The weather was fine, and Shen Fang and Qin Mohan, who were wearing sunglasses under the bright sunlight, did not attract too much attention.When there were a few people in line, Qin Mohan and the two little girls stood on both sides for a group photo with great excitement.But Shen Fang is not very interested, after all, the star has lost its sense of mystery to him.He just took a selfie in the position of another five-pointed star.

"Bruce Lee? Bruce Lee?" Qin Mohan looked at this slightly unfamiliar star, which also only had a name and a silhouette of an old-fashioned camera on it.

"Bruce Lee? Who is Bruce Lee?" Qin Ruoxi asked.

"Bruce Lee is the first Chinese protagonist in Hollywood, and the first superstar to officially promote Chinese Kung Fu to the world." Shen Fang said to several people: "This star was established on the 1993th anniversary of Bruce Lee's death in [-]."

"Wow, so powerful? Brother, tell us about it."

When the generation born in the [-]s first came into contact with Xiangjiang movies, most of them had watched Bruce Lee's films; most of the post-[-]s generation had watched Bruce Lee's films only because they liked kung fu movies or were engaged in the film and television industry; Little is known about, or even heard of, the character Bruce Lee.

This is the inevitability of the development of the times. Most of the millennials now pay attention to handsome men like Lu Han and Zhang Yixing who came back from Korea, especially the two little girls who knew that Zhang Yixing would participate in the third season of "Super Challenge". , I am going to take time to visit the class.

Then I visited the Huaxia Grand Theater, not only the two little girls, but even Qin Mohan couldn't help complaining, the nondescript style really insulted Huaxia's name.

Despite the complaints, the humanistic materials about filmmakers in the Grand Theater still attracted the attention of a group of people.

Enter the theater through the two Chinese red pillars at the gate of the theater. On the concrete floor in the yard in front of the gate, the most attractive thing is the handprints and footprints left by the 173 stars in the theater vestibule.

There are a lot of tourists, and every tourist who visits here is either busy taking pictures of his idol's footprints, or putting his hand on the star's handprints for comparison.Many famous Hollywood movie stars such as Denzel Washington, Tom Hanks, Harrison Ford, Mel Gibson, Tom Cruise, and Arnold Schwarzenegger have left their memorials here. Even Don The old duck also left lovely footprints here.

Among them, there are two Chinese stars who left their handprints. One is the eldest brother Cheng, who was invited to leave his handprints and footprints in 2013, and the other is Feng Gangpao, who is still arguing with the fifth-generation director. The handprint he was invited to leave in November 14 is also what he is most proud of.Qin Mohan knew very well the reason for the verbal dispute between Feng Gangpao and the company, so he took the two little girls to line up at Big Brother Cheng's place to take a few photos.

Leaving the Huaxia Grand Theater, a few people continued to visit and visited Madame Tussauds. The wax figures here are mostly Hollywood stars, lifelike. Even Qin Mohan found some of his favorite stars and asked Shen Fang to help take pictures Take a souvenir.

After leaving the wax museum, I bought some Hollywood-style small gifts in a few stores next to me, and I was going to take them back to give away. Shen Fang was knocked away by two little girls with the latest iPad. In their words, it was For the sake of learning, Qin Mohan was very skeptical.

After strolling around for a while, looking at the Hollywood Studios not far away, the famous HOLLYWOOD LOGO on the mountain is striking. The two little girls wanted to climb up the mountain to have a closer look, but were discouraged by Shen Fang.That's a signboard, and when you climb up, you will see an iron frame. Are you stupid or not.

Although Shen Fang tried his best to deny that he had ever done such a stupid thing, but Qin Mohan looked at him with a determined expression and couldn't believe it.

I didn't visit too many places in the whole afternoon, and the more famous Universal Studios is also planning to save it for a whole day to enjoy it the next day.

If there is one thing that can make people happier when traveling in a foreign land, it is meeting their best friends.Qin Mohan was like this. When they found a relatively famous French restaurant for dinner, Qin Mohan saw an acquaintance.

"Shen Fang, do you see if that is Lin Susu?" Qin Mohan, who was dining in a corner of the restaurant, saw an Asian girl coming in at the door, led by the waiter, tall and tall, wearing a short black leather jacket A pair of slim-fit jeans, paired with a pair of thin-frame sunglasses, looks very sassy.Next to the girl were two well-dressed men.

"You can tell the difference when you wear sunglasses." Shen Fang just wanted to tease her, but found that the woman was whispering to the two people beside her, and then walked towards the card bag. It's really Miss Lin.

"Sister Su Su, it's really you. Just now Shen Fang said that I recognized the wrong person." Qin Mohan excitedly stood up and greeted Lin Susu, Qin Ruoxi and Jin Yaran also followed suit.

Only Shen Fang couldn't help complaining: "Miss Lin, I didn't expect to encounter this by chance, the world is so small."

"Yeah, the world is really small. Fortunately, I have business to go to Los Angeles, otherwise people would think I'm taking your honeymoon trip."

"Is there business?" Qin Mohan asked in surprise, "Are you also here to attend the Grammy Awards?"

"No, I'm here to talk about movies." Lin Susu said, "A few days ago, I just signed a film co-produced by Le Si and Hollywood Legendary Films, directed by Zhang Guoshi."

"Why do I feel like you're in trouble." Shen Fang couldn't help laughing and said, "Come here to talk about movies? It seems that this time I'm going to enter the Hollywood film and television industry."

"Hehe, I seem to be in a hurry, no way." The arrogant Lin Susu said something to Shen Fang, then looked at Shen Fang and asked, "Why didn't you wild foxes invest in this film?"

Shen Fang knew that Lin Susu said it was "The Great Wall". Lesi Films took the lead and then jointly invested with Guangxian and Huayi to occupy 60% of the investment. Hollywood Legendary Films proposed to invest 10%, but took 30% of the proceeds.For the remaining 30%, Lesi Films asked Wild Fox, but Zhong Lifang refused.Investing 30% of the investment but only earning 18% of the return, Wild Fox has never been so humble even in cooperation with Universal Pictures.In the end, the investment was taken over by Lin Susu's "Bright Starlight Company", on the condition that Lin Susu needs to be the heroine of this drama.

Shen Fang didn't answer her question and said directly: "Your appointment is Matt Damon, so hurry up and we'll find a place to talk after you finish eating."

Matt Damon and his manager came in from the main entrance of the restaurant, and the two men who had just arrived with Lin Susu greeted them.

"Okay, I'll go first, I can't keep others waiting." Lin Susu nodded to Qin Mohan: "I will contact you later."

After dinner, Shen Fang asked Li Hui and Zhou Qi to take the two little girls back to the hotel. He and Qin Mohan were going to find a bar to wait for Lin Susu.Bars in the United States have strict age restrictions, and it is forbidden to sell alcohol to customers under the age of 21. The two girls are more interested in the rumors of the Roosevelt Hotel. They have long wanted to go back to find out, but they rarely followed.

That night, Qin Ruoxi and Jin Yaran went upstairs and downstairs to discredit them, but they didn't see any ghosts.The two daring girls were still unsatisfied and unwilling, but they scared Zhou Qi who was with them.

"Sister Qiqi, don't you Xiangxi people know how to drive corpses? Why are you afraid of ghosts?" Qin Ruoxi's words made Zhou Qi roll her eyes: don't people in Inner Mongolia ride horses to school?
