Chapter 21: "Hollywood" Movie Set


The profession of lawyer is a very respected profession in the United States.At the same time, it is also a very hostile profession.He will always be in the top three in the "Ideal Employment List" of American families.In 2018, the top three on this list were: Wall Street workers, lawyers, and doctors.But it also topped the nation's list of "least popular occupations."

Frank Austin.That's one such lawyer.He is a barrister at West German & Austin & Asten, where he is the head of the Los Angeles branch.West German & Austin Law Firm is a large law firm with strong rankings in the United States.As the head of Los Angeles at the law firm, Frank Austin is very busy.There are no more than 500 barristers like him in the United States.Of these 500 barristers, the lowest earning is more than $5 million a year.The highest-paid lawyer has a net worth of $1.5 billion.Frank wasn't there yet.He is working toward the top 200 lawyers in the nation.Today Frank took a job.He was reluctant to come to this job, because this level of legal and legal assistance was a trivial matter for him.As barristers who specialize in serving the truly wealthy, this kind of legal aid service is often received by law firms.The demands of the rich are bizarre.Sometimes they ask lawyers to search for regulations that allow them to legally keep an African hyena in a place where domestication is prohibited.Sometimes they want to find a service where flying leaves is forbidden for lawyers to find that they can fly leaves in front of the public with impunity.Strange requests.At stake is the reputation of barristers and law firms, and as long as the case is followed, even if it is a strange request, the lawyers will try their best to meet it.Often, the younger and more shallow-rooted the wealthy, the more strange the request for legal aid will be.With this level of legal aid and legal counsel services, large and powerful law firms will generally only send young people in their firms.Those young people who have just graduated and can get an annual salary of $180,000 a month, they must pay equal to what they get.But in the end, he didn't have to come with his employer.There are two reasons for this.The first reason is that he has just been hired as the legal counsel of the employer's company, and the annual consulting fee of $200,000 is not for nothing.The second reason is that the employer is willing to increase his hourly rate by 10 per cent to hire his legal aid services.Anyway, it's all about work, even if it's trivial, for the sake of the fragrant green paper, what's the big deal about taking a trip?

Frank Austin, driving his own Maserati president, followed his employer to the suburbs of Los Angeles, California, on the west coast of the United States, which is surrounded by mountains and rivers and has a pleasant scenery.There's another name here.It's called Hollywood.The employer was young, about the same age as Frank's own son.But his son is still studying at Stanford University.And his own employer has already created an investment company.can afford to drive a sports car like the Ferrari F12, and it is obvious that this is either a rich second generation or a lucky speculator.Frank Austen could afford a Ferrari, but that didn't suit his status as a barrister.He won't buy it for his son either.Want?

Yes, you can graduate and become a real lawyer, and make your own money to buy it!

Following his employer, he turned left and left and walked through the streets of Hollywood for a while.Eventually, they stopped in front of a filming factory.Such shooting factories are often simply arranged, but all kinds of props are complete.From the simplest sets and art props, to the green screen and blue screen shooting that have become popular in recent years, it will be available.Some small independent film teams, when they are shooting some indoor scenes, and they don't have the funds to find real office buildings or anything.I will shoot in this kind of shooting factory.Frank Austin didn't know what his employer was going to do when he came to this kind of filming factory.Could it be that you have fallen in love with some Hollywood star?

Want to sign that star into his company's name?

Frank guessed.All he saw was his employer standing in front of the filming factory and making another phone call.Then he said to him, "Barrister, let's go in."

It's up to you later. ”"It's my job."

Frank said calmly.The two walked into the filming factory.Shooting in the factory.It is a tall factory building, about a few hundred square meters in size.The middle position is arranged as a boxing ring, on which are placed several mattresses.There are several white beds underneath the boxing ring.There are now a dozen people inside.Among them were two men, topless, resting in the ring.Among the rest, a few were inspecting some filming equipment and recording equipment, as well as lighting equipment.Another man with glasses and a hat was holding a baton and shouting about something.Just looking at the set of the boxing ring and the words of the filming staff next to him.Think of Hollywood again, and this is the filming factory in Hollywood.People who come in from outside may think that this is just a simple movie, shooting scene.It may be shooting a youth blood film related to boxing, or a modern action fighting film, or a boxing documentary or something.Here in Hollywood, there's nothing unusual about that.But think of the white cushions in and off the boxing ring, and the two "famous" actors who often show their faces in some kind of American film.You will know that the movie being shot in the shooting factory will not be as simple and simple as imagined.And the filming process seems to have been temporarily stopped due to some special circumstances.Well, it is indeed a special situation.Because the heroine of the movie, when the movie has not yet started filming.Just for some unknown reason.Hidden.hid in the sturdy iron-doored cement toilet in the filming factory, and refused to come out.So, the actress's agent and some of the film's staff.I am "friendly" to persuade the actress."

Fira!

You can't get out!

We signed a contract!

”"If you don't cooperate with the shooting!

It's a breach of contract!

Liquidated damages are to be paid!

500,000 USD!

”"If you don't pay compensation, you will go to jail in a lawsuit!"

The actress's agent, a woman about forty or fifty years old with heavy makeup, said with a gloomy face.
