Start by trimming cow hooves

New Year's Eve in the United States is mainly based on Eastern Time.

It was twelve o'clock at midnight New York time, but it was only nine o'clock in the evening in Los Angeles. Everyone toasted to celebrate, and then continued to play their own things.

The party held at Leonardo's lasted until past ten o'clock in the evening.

Suri took Daddario home and was drained to the last drop, and then the real New Year's Eve node in Los Angeles ushered in.

The two of them came to the rooftop garden terrace in their pajamas. The view was much better than Leonardo's house.

Standing high above and overlooking downtown Los Angeles, fireworks are being set off in many places.

Although fireworks are beautiful, they only last for a moment.

While admiring the night view, Daddario took a photo with Suri in his arms. After reading it carefully, he said to him: "This photo is beautiful and you are cool too. How about we post it on Facebook?"

Suri exposed her little thoughts and told:

"You want to piss someone off, right? We're both wearing pajamas. Any fool can guess what's going on. It's better not to be too high-profile. My female fans will be angry, and so will your male fans. Being angry and living a comfortable life are more important than anything else.”

Thinking that Hoshino Yuko would arrive soon, Daddario felt bad.

Fortunately, he had just been fed and was in a pretty good mood.

She changed the subject and said:

"Okay, unlike online TV series, the film industry is almost monopolized by a few major film companies. Are you sure you want to risk so much money?"

Every other line is like a mountain.

Over the years, many wealthy businessmen have tried to make a career in Hollywood, thinking that just by making good movies, they failed in the end.

Suri thought for a while and explained:

"I can't guarantee that I will be able to do it, but the probability of success is slightly higher than others."

"On the one hand, a lot of capital is paying attention to Netflix Entertainment. I can use the future Series A financing as a bargaining chip to attract the help of some allies. On the other hand, if I threaten to pay to play new movies on the Internet, theaters and Publishers should not dare to offend me too hard."

"Many people are now worried that Internet companies will completely overturn the current situation in Hollywood, and their losses will be even more severe. Instead of pushing me to a dead end, it is better to try to accept me and compete fairly..."

What Suri didn't say was that once he dared to publicly premiere a large-scale commercial movie on the Internet and completely go against the theaters, distributors, and film and television companies, it is estimated that there will be no place for him in the entire Hollywood from now on.

Nowadays, there is actually room for reconciliation.

For example, Sony Pictures Entertainment Group, headquartered in Tokyo, controls two major film companies, Columbia and MGM. Tonight, their executives also extended an olive branch and wanted to discuss cooperation with Suri.

But if you dare to screen movies online, the situation will immediately become different.

A typical example is a certain bald director from Mainland China who released a movie online for free in his previous life. This offended the entire film industry, and it has been difficult to stabilize afterwards.

Hollywood has an annual output value of 30 to 40 billion U.S. dollars. Even Suri has no confidence to lift the table. He will probably be taught how to be a good person every minute. If he offends tens of millions of relevant practitioners and causes many people to lose their jobs, he may very well be spoiled for choice. .

It's true that you don't dare to lift the table.

But it does not prevent him from letting others feel that he really dares to flip the table, which is related to the interests of theaters and distributors. Only when they are in trouble will they personally smash their own jobs in order to help the film and television companies. In this way, at least they can Avoid being suppressed by others.

Lu Xun's point of view of sometimes having to tear down the roof in order to open a window accurately captured the weakness of human nature and had the opportunity to help Suri further complete his layout in Hollywood.

It's a holiday and many shops are closed.

On the morning of January 1, 2009, Suri took Daddario to Chinatown. After visiting his family elders, he ate a hot bowl of shredded kidney pork noodles and moistened his mouth with sweet soy milk.

Daddario didn't like kidneys, so he just ordered noodles with shredded pork.

She was very curious about why there were so few fat people near Chinatown according to Chinese eating habits, starting with breakfast being so sumptuous.

Suri couldn't answer this question.

I guess it was due to eating too much fried chicken, burgers and pizza, and consuming too much fat and sugar, as well as some racial issues.

Like the many bucket-sized white and black people on the streets of Los Angeles, most of them work in relatively easy jobs, while in Chinatown they generally make money through manual labor.

I lived in Chinatown when I was a kid.

Su Rui saw many professors and businessmen who traveled across the ocean to wash dishes and work as coolies. There were only a few of them who could really make a name for themselves. If they had just been a street kid waiting for demolition, they might have made a fortune long ago.

After all, being able to immigrate in the early years shows that you have some strength. There are indeed people who sold the courtyard houses next to the Forbidden City and came to Chinatown in Los Angeles to serve dishes.

The local old Chinese generally don't like to interact with these new immigrants. Good jobs such as driving a rental car or working as a manager will basically choose to internalize them.

The remaining positions are often low-level jobs that white people look down on. Black people are afraid of hard work and work early in the morning to work late. They also have to compete with Southeast Asians, and the wages are getting lower and lower.

Su Rui is very lucky, her family has some foundation, and she has been taken care of by a nanny since she was a child.

He moved away from Chinatown early. Looking at this place again, he felt that it had not changed in more than 20 years. On the contrary, it had become more depressed. There were not many people even on New Year's Street.

I patted my belly, took a walk to eat and shop for a while, and bought Daddario a folding fan with peach blossoms painted on it.

Seeing that she was a white girl, the seller originally asked for $60.

When I saw Suri, I realized he was a local. I immediately lowered the price to $20 and asked him for an autograph.

Came to grandpa’s dental clinic again.

Suri burped, sat down, and said:

"You are already so old. Call my grandma and move to Lanai Island to retire. If you can't stay idle, I will find a job for you. There happens to be no dentist on my island, so you can go and help me."

My son, daughter-in-law, and Suri, my precious eldest grandson, have all moved their family to Lanai. We visited it last time and Suri's grandfather really liked that place.

The main thing is to look around and see that everything belongs to my family, which makes me feel comfortable.

His grandfather did not refuse this time and said with a smile:

"Your dad mentioned last time that at least the store must be sold and the house sold before we can leave. Young people all go to the hospital and use their medical insurance for dental care. My business here is poor and I can hardly continue to work."

Suri waved his hand and said:

"I'm looking for someone to help you sell it slowly. You see, I'm often away from Lanai. My parents are busy. A cow costs two to three thousand dollars. What should I do if someone steals my cow? You take my grandma with you and go there. Look around for me, there are many empty houses of mine in the town, no matter where you live, and my grandma's house, please give me some advice."

"Well, I'll ask some time."
