Didn't you say that we would lose money after filming?

Chris was stunned. He was already prepared.

What preparations? Preparations for being beaten and for being scolded.

Because although I was a normal person many years ago and even had some glorious years, I am now a homeless person, and homeless people in this country have no human rights.

No one will care about their existence, and no one will care whether they live or die.

In this country where human rights are talked about everywhere, they are like invisible people who do not exist at all. The words "benevolence, morality and human rights" will never be attributed to them. They even have to live in fear that one day they may freeze to death on the street or be shot.

Many gang members even steal shoes from homeless people. Their lives are in darkness.

Regardless of what Chris was thinking, Xia Yuan was quite sad at this moment.

Who else could this Asian man be if not Xia Yuan?
Originally, Xia Yuan was wandering aimlessly on the streets of Hollywood, searching for his target.

He was still worried about the casting issue for his new movie "Cellmates". He was constantly thinking of solutions in his mind and didn't notice that he bumped into someone on the road.

This was naturally his fault, his own mistake, and he would never blame others.

It was only now, as he looked closely, that he realized who he had bumped into.

A homeless person.

Xia Yuan pulled the man up and patted the dusty spot on his back where he had fallen.

To be honest, this homeless guy is just messy and unkempt, but he is not actually dirty.

Chris was a little at a loss.

Because when this kind of thing happens, the most likely scenario is that he will be punched and kicked by an angry person, and then he will squat on the ground with his head in his hands and endure it silently. When the other person calms down, the matter will be over.

Even when they went to the shelter every day to get relief meals, the staff looked at them with indelible disgust.

Where had he ever experienced such a situation? Did anyone treat him as a human being?
He hasn't felt this kind of caring feeling for many years. He had turned to his former wife and lover for help when he was desperate. He just wanted them to lend him some money so that he could buy some food, but they were ruthlessly turned away.

Now a stranger can do this.

However, after pulling the man up, Xia Yuan took out twenty dollars from his pocket and handed it over.

"Thank you, sir. Good things will come to good people." Chris took the money tremblingly.

"You're welcome. Use it to buy something to eat." Xia Yuan said.

After doing all this, he waved goodbye and left.

Actually, it is because of the different national conditions that he cannot ignore or even hate the poor.

Before coming to America, Xia Yuan actually knew that there were a lot of homeless people here.

This kind of people are almost extinct in Hanxia. After Hanxia entered the new era, there are not many homeless people on the streets. Even if there are, most of them are scammers. If they are real, they will be rescued quickly.

But it’s different in America. The number of homeless people here is as high as millions, and no one of them is born a homeless person, but becomes one out of necessity.

Many homeless people may have once been successful many years ago. They may have been business owners, wealthy people, or even celebrities.

It's just that these people lost their credibility and money, which resulted in everything coming to nothing. All their properties were taken away to pay off their debts, and even their identities were sealed.

The people of Hanxia who may not understand America may wonder at this time, since these homeless people have hands and feet, can't they find jobs?

They are different from the disabled beggars on the streets of Hanxia. But after actually understanding some of the situation, I can only say that it would be great if it were really that simple.

Without official proof, homeless people have no normal identity and cannot restore their normal identity. If the steel signature on your ID is erased, no one will hire you as a homeless person to work, and no one will want you.

It is very simple to restore your normal status. You just need to have a stable income and be able to repay your debts regularly. When all your debts are paid off, you can restore your normal status.

But if you don’t have a job, how do you have a stable income?
So this is a vicious circle. In a place like America, once you fall into bankruptcy crisis, from that moment on, you may be dead. In the eyes of those in power, you are not even a human being, because you don’t even have the right to vote in elections. They cannot fight for your voting rights, so naturally there is no need for them to be hypocritical to you.

For example, the homeless man just now must not have been a poor person before, because although he looked shabby and had a scruffy beard, his clothes were still clean and tidy, and he was actually dressed quite decently, except for some damage.

One could even tell that the thick suit he was wearing was not cheap, but it had no labels and had too many holes, so it escaped being stolen.

Of course, Xia Yuan has done what he can now. He is not a saint, and there is not much he can do to help. It is impossible for him to help everyone he sees. He just does what he can. After all, the person was knocked down by himself.

Soon, Xia Yuan no longer cared about what happened and quickly forgot about it in his mind.

He then searched around but couldn't find anyone suitable to play Biederman, so he returned to the studio.

In the next few days, he conducted several castings, but to no avail.

It is very difficult to decide on the candidate for this role, because it is a very contradictory character. In the setting, he is not only a member of the social elite, but he has also experienced poverty and even went to prison.

He struggled and felt lost, but finally he found his purpose and hope in life again.

It's not that easy to act. The quality of those child actors scattered in Hollywood is uneven, and many of them have not undergone professional training. It is difficult for them to grasp the state that the role should have at each stage.

But it must be said that some things will always turn around when you think there is no way out.

Just when Xia Yuan was at a loss and had lost the motivation to go out to the streets to look for someone, today, he decided to take a day off and took out his mobile phone to start playing.

He visited the legendary international version of Douyin and Kuaishou, which is Tik Tok.

He was secretly watching various "dance videos", but as he kept scrolling, not only did the big data remember him, but it also seemed to be "spying" on his life.

Soon, he saw a video.

The video was located nearby and was posted by a user who does not have many followers.

Video title: [The current situation of Edward Chris, a famous star who has starred in "Garbage Time" and "Sunset at Corro", appeared at the Cannes Film Festival, and won the Cecil Award. He was beaten on the street because of a dispute. ]

The video shows a random shot on the roadside. It shows a homeless man with long hair and beard, wearing a suit, being teased and beaten by several well-dressed young men. He keeps repeating the same sentence.

"Hey! Give me my hat back!"

After playing around for a while, he was finally kicked to the ground.

The comment section is filled with all kinds of content.

"Is this Chris? I didn't expect he would become like this now? I used to like his movies a lot."

"A domestic violence man, an alcoholic and gambling addict, does not deserve sympathy."

"This is reality. A former star has fallen to this level today."

Xia Yuan was stunned for a moment.

Isn't this the homeless man from yesterday?
