Chapter 128 Garcia

Garcia Rodriguez, a Hispanic, or more accurately Hispanic, a man who just turned twenty-six this year.

He parked the rented motorcycle in a free space on the side of the road, and habitually found a hidden corner and sat down.

Taking out the already cold burger from the bag, Garcia took a hard bite. If he hadn't been reluctant to give up the prey he was staring at, his lunch would not have been delayed until now. Burgers are popular, but they feel extra sweet at this time.

Surviving in the Los Angeles area is not easy! Being a Latino who is more discriminated against than blacks is even harder! Although freedom, equality, and anti-discrimination are shouted every day here, Garcia is very clear that these are just shouting, and implicit discrimination is everywhere in this society. Paparazzi?

That's right! Garcia is a reporter, or a paparazzi of entertainment tabloids. The newspaper he works for is called the Los Angeles Free Press. It has just been established and is a typical newspaper with celebrity privacy and entertainment gossip as its selling points.

After gobbling down the burger, Garcia checked his telephoto camera, which was the most valuable thing in his body.

Not long after the establishment of the newspaper, the influence and sales volume were limited, and the treatment of employees was naturally not much better. For a newcomer like Garcia, the fixed salary is extremely limited. If you want to obtain income to support yourself, it is very simple! Get enough photos and news out.

This is Los Angeles. As long as he can catch a big fish and dig out some exclusive news from the other party, the bonus he gets can let him eat and drink for a month.

For example, Nicole Kidman, if she can be photographed shopping with a man, and a little intimate action, such a photo is enough to sell for a big price.

After all, everyone knows that, apart from a few unreliable scandals with Tom Cruise a few years ago, this glamorous Australian woman seems to be insulated from men.

Of course, now the two have become enemies, and their hatred is higher than the sky...

He sighed, if it wasn't for the force of life, he wouldn't be this damn paparazzi. Thinking of his dignified background in the Navy SEALs, he was a fairly well-known detective expert, but he has been reduced to where he is today. I really don't know. Your own fault is the society's fault.

Originally, after being expelled from the military, he wanted to use his skills to find a job as a bodyguard and escort, but several companies he found heard that he was Latino, and he was also expelled by the military because of a mistake, and directly rejected him. outside the door.

No matter how strong a person is, he can't stand the pressure of life, so he had to put some of the things he learned in the military into practice and became a glorious paparazzi.

Although he is just a rookie, his eyes and intuition are exceptionally keen. He just came to Sunset Boulevard today, and when he was waiting for a traffic light at an intersection, he caught the figure of Drew Barrymore in a car, subconsciously. followed.

He knows the destination of the other party's arrival, but... what is she doing here, shopping? Or dating someone?

It didn't take long for Garcia to see Ryan Jenkins walking out of a taxi with a backpack and sunglasses, obviously dressed up, but for a former soldier like him, This disguise is too childish.

Quickly finding a good angle, Garcia raised the camera, constantly adjusted the telephoto lens, and observed the situation on the opposite side. When he saw a pair of small hands covering Ryan Jenkins' eyes, he began to press the shutter of the camera rhythmically. , and captured a picture.

Oh~ It looks like these two are still good friends.

Garcia thought subconsciously, but he kept taking pictures of what he thought was valuable in his hands.

Shouldn't it be... They are really in a relationship, right?

At the beginning of the year, there was a very, very outrageous scandal between these two people. If you can take pictures of these two people, it is considered a business relationship. Besides, Ryan Jenkins has been reclusive recently, and few people have photographed him outside. figure.

As for the scandal between the two, as long as they're not fools, no one will take it seriously. Who doesn't know that Drew Barrymore likes to play tricks, and if he shows affection with her, he can be regarded as a couple. Then this guy's lover can be taken from Sunset Boulevard. Row to Los Angeles City Hall.

Besides, Ryan Jenkins wasn't thirteen years old... well, he had his first girlfriend when he was twelve.

He shook his head, the two people on the opposite side were just friends no matter what, and it was obvious that Drew Barrymore was the one who was messing around.

There was a hint of warning in his heart, and Garcia quickly hid. Out of the corner of his eyes, he caught the young man's swept gaze, and he couldn't help sighing at his keen intuition.

However, he believed that he was not comparable to ordinary paparazzi, and when he saw the two turned around and walked towards a coffee shop, he raised the camera again and followed carefully.

When they walked into the store, Garcia put the camera in the satchel, tidied up against the glass of the door and window, and then pushed the door and walked in.

This is Sunset Boulevard. Celebrity reporter paparazzi are everywhere. Among them, the paparazzi are the most unpopular. Many regular restaurants refuse to enter the paparazzi. Fortunately, Garcia doesn’t look like a paparazzi at all, and he successfully entered the store. .

Just a glance in the store, he caught the figure of the young man and woman, took a newspaper, quickly found a suitable place, ordered a cup of coffee, took out a small camera and placed it on the table, using Under the cover of the newspaper, he gently pressed the shutter.

what is that? file holder? Garcia kept scanning the other side out of the corner of her eye, just in time to see Ryan Jenkins handing a thick file bag to Drew Barrymore, she opened it, turned it over, and put it back again, it seemed Should be a script.

After Drew Barrymore looked at it with a smile, it turned out... Is she going to kiss Ryan Jenkins? Seeing that Ryan pushed back a baby face without hesitation, Garcia was secretly relieved for some reason.

How can a bad girl like Drew Barrymore deserve a teenage genius like Ryan Jenkins! It was the only thought in his mind at that moment.

Taking his eyes back, he glanced at the store again. There were not many people, and it was obvious that there should be no other reporters and paparazzi. This should be exclusive, right? Still exclusive to Ryan Jenkins!

Some time ago, it was rumored in the circle that Ryan wrote a script for Drew. Now it seems to be completed. He also gave the script to Drew. This is a valuable news!

If you can know the name and theme of the script, even better! Now who doesn't know, the script created by Ryan Jenkins has become a box office guarantee. Now that he has obtained this exclusive, the editor-in-chief will at least write a four-digit check, right?

Seeing Ryan Jenkins turning around without hesitation, Garcia understood that the two were just acquaintances, at most ordinary friends.

Today is a great harvest, and the work can be finished early. Riding a rental motorcycle, Garcia Rodriguez returned to the newspaper office, said hello to the editor-in-chief, and got into the darkroom. He wanted to take the photos by himself. wash out.

He doesn't feel relieved to give it to others. The competition in this industry is extremely fierce. He is a new Latino and he is ostracized by his colleagues. God knows whether those guys will play tricks or steal his exclusives.

It was very late with this busy work. It was already dark outside, and the newspaper office was still brightly lit. Many colleagues were sorting out photos taken during the day, writing manuscripts, and reading pictures and speaking are one of the most basic qualities in this industry. As for Is it true...

Well, history has been distorted from the moment it happened! Garcia can't remember where he got this sentence, but it fits the situation in their line.

Looking at the photos, Garcia can't help but feel a little embarrassed. The ones taken from Sunset Boulevard are normal, but the ones taken from the coffee shop are different, probably because of the angle, there are a few... ...Especially the scene where Drew Barrymore wanted to kiss Ryan Jenkins, but was blocked by his hand, it looked like he was kissing directly on the face no matter what.

What's going on here? Garcia was typing on the typewriter. After all, he was a new paparazzi, and his conscience was still intact. He subconsciously ignored these ambiguous photos and focused his pen and ink on the document bag that should be the script.

When it comes to things like tracking, finding people, capturing photos, and analyzing things, Garcia, who was born in the Navy SEALs, is a good player, but he's not very good at dancing and writing, and he's been busy until almost midnight, writing a dry manuscript. Just finished writing.

If some seniors read his articles, they would definitely scold him that he was not suitable for this job. Not only was the manuscript dry and without water, but most of what he wrote was based on the facts he saw. There was not much exaggeration, gossip and gossip. The bridges that the public loves to watch are even more taken.

Sure enough, after the article was handed over to the editor-in-chief, if it weren't for the fact that the news about Ryan Jenkins' new script was really selling, the veteran of the gossip industry would definitely have killed the article.

Any photos? the editor-in-chief asked Garcia.

Yes! Garcia took a stack of photos and handed them to the editor-in-chief.

The editor-in-chief just flipped through a few pages, his eyes staring like a bison in Montana. He grabbed the manuscript and dragged Garcia to the editor-in-chief's office. The speed was so fast that Garcia, who was a soldier, was secretly secretive. Tongue smacking.

Boss! Boss! Big news! Big news! Big news that can make our newspaper a hit! The editor-in-chief broke into the editor-in-chief's office without even knocking on the door.

The editor-in-chief was still a little angry, but after flipping through the stack of photos, the corners of his mouth almost reached his ears, Who took this picture? It's beautiful! I want to give him a raise!

It's me. Garcia stood up.

Good job, keep working hard! The editor-in-chief patted him on the shoulder hard, and then threw the manuscript he wrote into the trash, The manuscript is so poorly written that no one cares about the script and the like, we should Focus on the relationship between the two people, so let me write this news myself.

After speaking, the editor-in-chief took out the checkbook, filled in a number on it, and handed it to Garcia.

You deserve it, you know, tomorrow our newspaper will be a sensation in Los Angeles, no! The whole of California, the whole of North America! The editor-in-chief was as excited as some crazy terrorist Garcia had ever seen.

After taking the check, Garcia's eyes lit up, $20,000! A full twenty thousand dollars!

Maybe I should follow Ryan Jenkins in the future? He is so valuable! He is simply synonymous with money and status!

Yes! Garcia wants not only money, but also status, so that he can turn over the status of this Latino!
