Hollywood Road

After a circle around the west of Santa Monica, the Humvee drove up Ocean Drive and drove all the way south. Murphy followed in his car. After half an hour, he arrived near the southern suburbs, which were all detached houses. Among the tall trees on the side of the road, it seems both quiet and hidden, and it is definitely a good place to do some dark things.

Seeing that there was only one straight road here, Murphy deliberately accelerated his speed, overtook the Hummer in front of him, pulled some distance, and stopped beside a 24-hour convenience store on the side of the road, pushed open the transparent glass door, and followed. The cashier asked for a box of chewing gum.

In the process of shopping, Murphy kept observing the road outside until a Hummer appeared, then he put away his wallet and pushed the door out.

Taking out the Nikon D1 digital camera and telephoto lens from the trunk, Murphy drove the Audi sedan to keep up with the Hummer again, but after a few minutes, he saw the Hummer in front of him parked on the side of the road. He could see the person in the driver's seat and the person in the passenger seat seem to hug each other.

After choosing a suitable distance and angle to park the car, Murphy lowered the window, adjusted the camera and lens, raised the camera and pointed it there, kept pressing the shutter, and filmed every scene in the car.

Not long after, the Hummer door opened. Kobe Bryant, who got out of the car first, looked around and found nothing unusual. He greeted the red-haired woman to get out of the car and walked towards a detached house next to him. The two seemed to be The dry wood was like a raging fire. Not only did their heads come together, but their hands kept brushing each other's sensitive parts.

Although the light is not very good, Murphy's photography skills are enough to ensure that although the captured picture is a little blurry, the faces of the two people above are enough to identify them.

Close-ups, panoramas... Murphy is like the most shrewd hunter, constantly hunting for his prey.

Finally, the two of them walked to the door, as if they couldn't wait. The black man pressed the red-haired woman against the door, touching and kissing intensely. After nearly a minute and a half, the door was opened. walked in.

Seeing the door closed, Murphy put down the camera, and now he finally understands why so many celebrities are caught cheating by the paparazzi, because they are sometimes too reckless.

But it's not surprising when you think about it. The popular superstars want money, money, and power. They seem to be the center of the world. Once self-discipline is poor, beauty, money, and drugs will all enter their lives.

Compared with other stars, at least the Kobe Bryant that Murphy has heard of is a relatively self-disciplined type, and has always maintained a good public image. He is definitely the darling of fans and sponsors.

That's what makes the photos he takes even more valuable.

What would happen in the house, even a fool can imagine, after Murphy put down the camera, he did not leave, but waited patiently.

Sitting in the driver's seat, looking at the detached house over there through the open car window, Murphy was somewhat unbalanced, and it would be a lie to say that he did not envy the lives of these superstars at all.

Kobe Bryant still has a better image among the superstars. The former Murphy has only seen one scandal in this regard. The superstars in the entertainment industry have more chaotic private lives than the stars in the sports circle. For example, some male and female big-name movie stars started At the time, they were standard heterosexuals, but later they became homosexuals. Presumably part of the reason is that they were tired of playing with the opposite sex and wanted to pursue excitement and try the taste of the same sex.

Murphy believes that there are no small number of homosexuals in Hollywood, and there are many so-called bisexuals who take all men and women.

His eyes were fixed on the house, and his head was thinking wildly. Murphy was passing a long and boring time. I don't know how long it took. The east of the car gradually showed a white light, and the sun climbed up bit by bit from below the horizon, cold and dark. The city of sin has disappeared, and the bright and fiery city of angels has come again.

Looking at the soft light, Murphy wiped his sleepy face, grabbed the camera with the other hand, and turned to look at the door of the independent house. .

Raising the camera, with the help of good light conditions, Murphy took a few pictures of the house and the Humvee. After waiting for another half an hour or so, the door of the house was suddenly opened from the inside, and a black man wearing sunglasses and a hat walked away When he came out, the red-haired woman behind him pulled him, and the tall black man turned his head and kissed the red-haired woman again.

Murphy is like a cold machine, recording all these through the camera lens.

Compared with the dim picture last night, the current shooting conditions are simply ideal. Under the soft light of the early morning sun, Kobe Bryant appeared in the camera lens very clearly, even if he was wearing a hat and sunglasses, as long as he was wearing a hat and sunglasses. Anyone who is a little familiar can recognize at a glance that this is the superstar of the Los Angeles Lakers.

It wasn't until Kobe Bryant got into the Hummer that Murphy put down the camera. After the other party started the car, he also started the Audi sedan and followed closely behind.

This time, Murphy had no intention of hiding, and just followed the Hummer so carelessly, as if telling the driver in front directly that I was following you.

The other party obviously did not bring bodyguards and followers, so he didn't need to worry too much. Even if the other party did it, he would not be afraid of anyone after so many battles in prison.

Besides, he still wants Kobe Bryant to fight him.

Maybe it was because he consumed too much energy last night, until he returned to the bustling section of Santa Monica, the person in the car in front found his tail, and Kobe Bryant, who was driving, seemed to realize something, and drove on a comparison. On the narrow road, the car suddenly slowed down and turned to stop in front of Murphy's car.

Murphy stopped the car, saw the superstar in front of him getting out of the car and walking towards him, also got out of the car and locked the door, just stood in the morning sun, waiting for a dialogue between the two sides.

Because Murphy stood there facing the sun, and the reflection of the window glass around him, he seemed to exude thousands of golden lights, just like a legendary hero in ancient Greek mythology.

But Kobe Bryant didn't think so. He walked across from Murphy in a few big strides, standing five feet away, looking at the eyes full of surprises, "How could it be you?"

Murphy shrugged and said generously, "Why can't it be me?"

Seeing the change in Kobe Bryant's eyes, Murphy pointed to the pedestrians nearby, "This is a public place."

Kobe Bryant, after all, is not the kind of reckless guy who only knows how to play football. He gradually loosened his clenched fist and asked, "Are you a reporter?"

"The boss of a video collection company." Murphy put gold on his face without hesitation.

"What did you photograph?" Kobe Bryant's dark face changed. "What do you want to do?"

There was a hint of anger in his words, and a hint of panic that was hardly noticeable.

Murphy confirmed that Kobe Bryant will not do it, and he is not afraid of the opponent doing it. In the past year or so, he and Rose have experienced many fights in prison. The people on the opposite side are compared to those in the prison. Felons are just trivial.

Leaning on the door of the Audi sedan, Murphy looked up at the dark face and said plainly, "I have photographed everything that should be photographed, you and a beautiful red-haired girl."

A fierce light flashed in Kobe Bryant's eyes, and then he remembered the advice of his agent and public relations manager. He suppressed the anger in his heart, and after thinking for a while, he reached out and took out a wallet from his body, "Speak, say something. Digital, give me the camera."

Murphy shook his head, took out a business card from his body, and handed it over, "This is my business card, please read the headlines in the newspaper tomorrow."

Although he didn't want to take the business card, he wanted to punch the calm face on the opposite side, but Kobe Bryant was not stupid at all. There were many pedestrians around, and some people had already noticed it. In public Doing what he thinks will only be more detrimental to himself. He is not a fool like Rodman.

What's more, the other party is willing to give him a business card, which means that there is still room for change.

"Okay, that's it, Mr. Bryant." Murphy was afraid that the other party would not understand what he meant, and before leaving, he said as a reminder, "I hope we can meet again."

After speaking, he opened the car door, started the car, turned around and left, leaving only the back of the superstar behind him.

Looking at the Audi sedan leaving, Kobe Bryant gritted his teeth, and the business card in his hand was clenched into a mass of waste paper by his huge palm, as if it was the damn bastard just now.

"Hey, isn't that Kobe Bryant..."

After all, a basketball superstar and an urban hero in Los Angeles, he was quickly recognized, and Kobe Bryant hurried into the car to get rid of the crowd of onlookers. From beginning to end, the business card was tightly clutched in hand, not thrown away.

A superstar with such a good image is definitely not a fool and a reckless person. Kobe Bryant knows very well that even for the sake of his public image and sponsorship contract, he must keep this business card.

The Hummer left the road, Kobe Bryant took out his phone and dialed a number, and a sweet female voice quickly rang out, "Hello, this is the CAA Sports Department..."

On the other side, Murphy went home, took out the memory card in the digital camera, connected it to the laptop, and it contained not only the pictures of Kobe Bryant just taken, but also some pictures taken by Carla Firth.

For the time being, Ignoring the pictures of Carla Firth, Murphy flipped through the ones he took. The technology of digital cameras in this era is still immature, and the light was not very good last night, so many photos were not very clear. , but Kobe Bryant's identity can be identified by his face, which is enough for him.

After drinking a cup of coffee and resting for a while, Murphy was about to sleep when the phone suddenly rang, showing an unfamiliar number.

(I couldn't find the specific brokerage company, so I had to throw it to CAA. If anyone knows, you can leave a message in the book review area, and I will revise it.)
