James Franco himself went into battle and directed the third episode (and also the seventh), and this episode has no particularly obvious breaking points, and is generally a smooth transitional episode - but the amount of information in this episode is a little bit. It's not ambiguous, there are points and faces, and the sense of rhythm is also great. The most direct evidence is that I read it in one breath without knowing it, and I didn't realize the passage of time...
From disappointment to despair, wait and see to hope, Fallen Street has spent one sleepless night after another.
[Note: In the last article, "Dalin" was mistakenly written as "Irene", which is hereby corrected. 】
The twists and turns of "movie dream"
An idea is like a seed with strong vitality. Once it takes root in the heart, it will immediately grow wildly.
Taking my mother and son for a meal, my mother couldn't help but take the opportunity to sarcasm, which further encouraged Irene's idea of "changing careers" .
Irene, who felt that she had already seen the "threshold" of filming, told her mother confidently: Don't be upset that I am in the flesh business, your daughter will soon become a filmmaker.
When a group of girls on the street were chatting at the beginning of the show, "Canti" was considered by everyone to want to make a film and go crazy . Through the introduction of "experienced" Elephant-legged sister Ruby, she met the "genius director" Harvey who paid for fake filming. .
When inviting the other party to dinner to show his willingness to enter the industry, Harvey said sincerely: I am tired of dealing with the police and postal inspectors, and now I want to make some ticket money.
Candy is obviously not looking for someone to chat with, she wants to discuss deep cooperation with them - learn to make movies, and try to sell pornography in Europe, which is more lightly regulated.
Her ambition and attitude are positive enough: I have the courage to try, I am not afraid of failure, and even if I fail, I can gain valuable experience... What's more, I think I will succeed.
It's a pity that Harvey's attitude is also very firm: if you want to cooperate in live performances, you can do it on your terms. I will share 25% of your income, but if you make real movies, don't do it.
Harvey didn't want to go back to his old business, and he wasn't willing to bring a random girl into the business, and even if Candy seemed like a malleable talent, there wasn't enough leverage to get him out.
For this soft nail, although Candy didn't lose her temper, she couldn't help but write her loss on her face (Maggie's acting skills are still a bit tricky).
During this period, Candy still lived a street life of soliciting customers and bargaining with others, and had to avoid people like Mike-a man who was very dangerous at first sight.
Almost all the phone messages that Candy listened to during the day were left by regular customers. There were lechers who wanted to play with handcuffs and play, cowards who were caught by his wife and wanted to disappear, and she accidentally contracted gonorrhea and asked her for more happiness. the bad boy...
With a shriveled body slung over a light shirt, dark circles wrapped around her sunken eyes, and with a three-puff cigarette, Candy was full of depression.
And when night fell, she had to keep going to the street to earn money. She had no pimps to manage her business, and she had to face every client who made unreasonable demands, such as those who wanted to explode chrysanthemums.
Candy herself didn't know how long she could hold on.
A silent conspiracy
Rudy Piplow and Tommy Lange are definitely "high-class" in the show, and this time, they came to a lawyer with a suitcase of money for help.
After accepting the huge sum, the lawyer insisted that Rudy give himself a dollar to become a client, so that anything they said would be protected by the "lawyer-client" privilege (see the "Beautiful Attorney" and "Breaking Bad" series). friends will smile.)
The topics the lawyer and Rudy talked about were vague, but clearly they were all about big names, such as "Will the mayor win, or will Muskie, who is currently in the limelight, win?"
Then, several people looked at the remodeling drawings that looked like New York streets, involving the Degenerate Street. Rudy claimed that he "can't call the shots yet", and the lawyer hoped that Rudy would "hurry up"...
Looking back, Rudy and the two came to find the Lord Mayor (probably) who let the "niece" play BJ. Obviously, the two sides are old acquaintances.
What is intriguing is that the major events planned by Rudy and the mayor are obviously shameful, and the other party asked Rudy to be careful, and neither himself nor anyone in the gang can come forward. raw faces.
Suddenly, there seems to be a black pot behind Vincent...
What's even more interesting is that when the sheriff was setting up the night patrol task, he abruptly marked the "restricted area" for arrest. Although there was no clear order from the superior and no notice in black and white, they still had to execute it.
This means that, in the area of Luoluo Street, unless there is a major incident of murder and arson, otherwise don't go "to trouble people" - that is to say, the police can basically ignore that street.
Suddenly, an unusual job request was put forward, which made everyone feel strange, and even Flanagan, who had always had nothing to do with himself, couldn't help but question it.
This kind of order is made by the big guys, and the grassroots police officers can just follow it obediently, don't ask why...
Afterwards, Flanagan immediately "figured it out", thinking only about what to eat for supper, while Auston still had a black question mark on his face: Most of the rents in this neighborhood are very low, there are some tunnel prostitutes, a few streets Drug dealers, and there are no particularly influential figures, why have they become a restricted area for law enforcement?
Could it be that someone's taboo has been committed? In this regard, Auston is only aware of it, not knowing why.
Personal conjecture, it should be the people above who want to play a big ticket in Degenerate Street and engage in business that is basically impossible to legal.
The starting point of a professional manager
After taking over the venue, it is necessary to re-operate, and it is inevitable to renovate to remove the bad luck and make a new face.
After smashing the wall to rest, Vincent asked Paul to call back all the original male waiters... Obviously, in addition to attracting new customers to see beautiful swimsuits, he is not ready to let go of old customers who love "male sex".
Not long after Franky pulled out the coins from several machines in the store, a big and small fat and thin head suddenly appeared.
Healy claimed to be a "partner" who held a third of the bar's shares, and Vincent had to pay him dividends for the operation and repair all his machines.
Who are you? Rudy never mentioned you at all.
Vincent also planned to slowly reason with the other party, do Tai Chi, and muddy the mud. Franky couldn't stand it any longer, so he smashed the machine back and forced Healy to swear and walk away.
At this moment, the two brothers' handling methods cannot be divided into who is right and who is wrong. It is obvious that Vincent's "negotiation" will not work. Healy has made it clear that he is here to make trouble. Qi's decisive approach is the most direct and effective.
Just as he was about to open a business, there was an accident, so he naturally had to ask the boss to reason with him , but from Rudy's take it for granted, he had expected such an outburst.
As the big shopkeeper who "won two-thirds of the equity", it is obviously unreasonable not to know this hidden danger, so a more reasonable explanation is: he intentionally creates some trouble for Vincent to test his ability to adapt.
Then he asked Vincent to go to Mitch Splen to make peace, and while Vincent, who was soft-spoken, was hanging out, he came forward to teach the "Irish bitch" again, and did another favor.
Rudy is a loan shark, and the organization is exhausted and shrewd. Obviously, it should be a one-stop delivery operation, and Vincent just "owes" him another favor.
Before that, there was a little episode. Brother-in-law Bobby's construction site still "had an accident": the elevator was broken and no one was repaired, the electric box was brand name wrong, apparently the workers were getting kickbacks, and there was a little angry youth with an extraordinary background. The adults are quarreling... The first few problems, I have to blame myself for being tricky about wages.
After finally persuading the young man who was working in the summer job to settle down, Bobby flashed back to the recurrence of the old waist disease...
The two brothers went to visit their brother-in-law and learned that Bobby's income would drop sharply during the work-related injury, and while he was unable to take care of the child, Vincent still took out a modest pocket for emergency care.
Abandoned Kim's Korean restaurant, prepared a new jukebox, took in Abby, who joined temporarily, and gathered the eye-catching "princess" and "young master", the Martino brothers opened the door to welcome guests and waited for VIPs.
Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared. Vincent's painstakingly decorated new bar is crowded with people in a blink of an eye.
Rudy came to join us on opening night, too, and couldn't help but boast that Vincent could do business—what else? I think so.
But at the same time, the new store also welcomed a "bad guest" Healy. He still didn't give up. Vincent bluntly said that he was powerless. If you want to drink, he can bring you a drink.
Healy, who was infuriated by his words and deeds, decided to stir up business, he took out his pistol and prepared to make trouble. Who knew that Mike, who was beside him with quick eyes and quick hands, instantly subdued him.
In just a few seconds, Franky took the opportunity to taunt to attract attention, and Vincent quickly asked Abby to take the gun away, and solved the crisis before most of the guests realized what happened.
After that, Vincent hurriedly got Mike back and said that he wanted to repay, he would treat you to a few drinks, and by the way asked if the other party had a job - brother, look at your big man, you can't see that you are so flexible, you are really born A bodyguard's stuff...
Mike is the dangerous man who terrified Candy before. Judging from the fact that he stared at the porn magazines in the window in a daze, made the drug dealer lose his temper, and said he didn't need a gun at all, he was still a man with desire, strength, and lack of energy. Dangerous man of opportunity.
One night's business has been done at seven, seven or eight, and Franky has completely lost his mind...
In fact, Franky did almost as much damage as he did : he chased away the troublesome Healy, brought two girls who were willing to wear straitjackets, and covered up the threat of shooting; but he also When my younger brother was renovating, he gambled money, smashed vending machines, beat up people and harassed the waiter...
But who made Frankie Vincent's brother? In fact, it is precisely because of Frankie's escort to sing the black face that Vincent can sing the red face more smoothly and become a popular and good shopkeeper.
Vincent was right, he was really good at this.
A tale of prostitutes and pimps
The woman who talked to Darlene at the end of the last episode reappears. She calls herself a writer and is looking for a prostitute to talk about work and listen to stories - this time she is looking for a fan girl from Reggie Lowe.
"Time is money, my friend." The other party obviously had too many fritters, and the female writer could only pay $40 for the story, but when the other party mentioned his pimp, he still made up the name of Jimmy Love , anyway, you have to make it up , I'll make it up for you first.
In fact, if a female writer really wants to experience life, it is best to go to the sea and be a street girl for a while. All the materials are available, but the sacrifice is a bit big...
Darlene was watching a movie with Louis, a regular customer, and she overslept in too much comfort. Naturally, she had to listen to Larry's scolding early in the morning.
After Darlene paid, admitted his mistake, and took the initiative to work overtime, Larry lost his temper and could only drive away.
After being kidnapped and rescued by a pervert last time, Lori left a lot of psychological shadows and became more interested in being a tunnel prostitute . The service targets are drivers who shuttle between the tunnels. They find a street girl who specializes in driving through. Enjoy oral sex while tunneling...
The money is not slow to do this, and the attitude is very serious, but after CC received the money, he still made a sincere opinion on Lori's work status.
It’s not bad to earn 30 yuan at a time, but this group of drivers who owe half the guts will always be a one-time passerby, and will not become regular customers who are obsessed with you. As I said, you can make a lot of money on your terms, don’t It's easy to bury your talent.
CC taught Lori to create opportunities to develop more regular customers, which is the long-term plan to make more money.
The bar that Vincent runs all night naturally attracts pimps who work all night. Taking this opportunity, we once again saw their different characteristics.
For example, Rodney is obviously a cheapskate who is good at calculating . Although the boss should invite a glass of wine on the opening day... But judging from Rodney's performance in the first two episodes, his words are not surprising at all.
CC's vision is as vicious as always . He compares it with the college student who doesn't know whether he exists or not, and wants to "develop" Abby.
It can be seen that CC is more like a shot that has dates and no dates, and is not persistent, but this is also his cleverness.
Larry came to drink with Darlene who had overworked his workload, but when he turned around, he began to educate his "ineffective" colleague Richie: You really can't be a pimp, you can't even discipline your bitch.
"Gentle Richie" is worthy of being a wonderful pimp. He bluntly said that Rochelle is everything to him, that he doesn't like class oppression, and that Rochelle also controls the way of production...
Reading changes destiny
Opllx's favorite Abby, of course, has to be mentioned at the end. She and Darlene have become the female characters I am most looking forward to. Don't laugh for the reason - because they are both "readers".
Just came out of the campus and stepped into the society, Abby has a common problem with many young people: very high self-esteem, dislike the East and the West, unwilling to endure hardships, unwilling to follow.
Obviously she also smokes, but she can't bear to smoke other people's second-hand smoke. HR just asked two questions, and she gave the company to PASS on the excuse that she had asthma.
Turning around and looking for a job as a clerk on the phone, he revealed Abby's lack of patience, perseverance, and lack of fighting spirit, and his ability to chat with the next door is a set of tricks.
This kind of young man who doesn't have much ability and thinks he can be proud of himself is more visible as a boss, so Abby will receive a yellow card warning at any time. Besides, her performance is not much better at all...
Not surprisingly, Abby Parker, whose heart is so high, quits again.
Of course it’s right to have ideals and ambitions, and if you don’t compromise, you will be considered to have backbone, but before you find the path you want to go, if you don’t want to be honest and down-to-earth, you will suffer sooner or later.
The boy sitting next to Abby is obviously also an insane bastard. Seeing the frivolous and bubbly girl leave, he resigns along with him, and then the two naturally return to the rental house for a shot...
However, in the early morning of the next day, the gun buddies even disappeared with Abby's money ... Abby, who could survive for a while, is really penniless now, and he can only pay the rent. Find a rental friend Mickey to borrow it now.
People always let go of their so-called self-esteem and body when they are cornered. Since Abby doesn't want to speak up or go home to her parents to cry in poverty, and doesn't want to do troublesome grassroots jobs... Naturally, she will think of the funny bartender from before. .
After tossing around to find Vincent's new bar, Abby is still pulling the last piece of the fig leaf: Is there a job to settle accounts? Although Vincent has a good impression of Abby, he will not mess around with privileges: the shop will open in three hours, and the only job is to wear tights to deliver wine... Abby has gone and returned, and she has no way out.
The advantage of selling skin looks is that even if you don't need your brains, you can earn a lot of money just by looking at it. Abby is obviously familiar with it, and she was accidentally caught by CC, of course she ignored it. But when she looked back, she couldn't help but ask Vincent: Why would there be a girl foolishly being a pimp?
"You're alone, lonely, dangerous, and sleeping with a lot of people you don't know... You want to have someone by your side, a home..." Although Vincent didn't quite understand it, Bingxue's smart Abby had already understood.
This is the advantage of having read a book and being literate. Abby suddenly realized that she was already in the big dye vat of society, and her current situation has already stepped into the degenerate way, but she didn't know it, and the flies don't bite. Stitching eggs, she must pay a little attention to her frivolous and casual style.
It is precisely because of this that she rejects Vincent, who is both the boss and has a good impression after work - at the very least, I have to have a little girl's restraint, how can you say follow , even if you really want to "sell" yourself one day in the future, you must have a high enough price.
Compared Abby, it is the early fairs veterans of Darlene will not be so afraid to live "understand", but her "spiritual qualities" virtually has a lot of progress -
Before leaving, she only took the money that the sleeping Louis was supposed to give; Darlene herself showed impatience in the face of the angry Larry, why not punish him, hurry up and enforce the family law, I will be obedient; Work overtime, and when you pay in the evening, you have already generated excess income...
You just want money, and today I will give you more money.
In the face of such a "savvy" Darlene, no matter how severe Larry was, he wouldn't have a bad attack... What's more, he found that his usual methods of training girls were not enough.
When rewarded to come to the bar to rest, Darlene happily continued to read "A Tale of Two Cities" on the table, and the two "readers" chatted together . Abby met Darlene by recommending books.
Regardless of "people must read more", "reading changes one's destiny" has always had merit, especially for the poor and white people at the bottom, reading is actually the cheapest way to increase knowledge and help thinking (except for personal experience). ).
As the saying goes, there is poetry and writing in the belly. For Abby, the experience of education made her rein in herself and reflect on herself in time; for Darlene, the experience of reading books made her understand more about the scorching world and the various conditions in the world.
sleepless nights on depraved street
"When the lanterns are on, singing, dancing, and flute, the paper is drunk with gold, the ink is fragrant... " After night fell, Fallen Street ushered in another night of feasting and feasting.
Auston looked at the more rampant prostitutes in front of him, physically and mentally weak, and fell into the confusion of strange orders , it is better to "live in the moment" with Flanagan beside him;
A man armed with a knife stabbed Candy quarrel behind another person, all-around passers suddenly do since scattered, candy Seeing the needy people moving eyes, after a moment may also like others turned away, unable to help themselves people, why nosy ;
CC told Lori to stop being afraid, no matter what happened, he would support her from behind. Lori, who gathered up his courage, walked back and forth across the road, turning into a bright color on the street again under the gaze of the headlights ;
While Larry was teaching Ricky, he caught a glimpse of Darlene, who had a good relationship with Abby. In the past day, this girl gave him several surprises and surprises, and Larry really began to notice. she has changed ;
It was dawn and the bar was closed. Vincent said goodbye to everyone one by one, but only invited Abby to have breakfast together. If you just want to pick up girls, there are obviously many more beautiful ones that are easier to "get started". The girl, but Vincent only likes Abby - it can be seen that "the outside makes people together, the inside makes people go down" is an unbreakable truth;
Abby declined the other party, and Vincent also showed enough generosity. The two politely said goodbye, but there was a hint of ambiguity in the air...
This trace of fresh smell, when Vincent turned around, mixed with the smell of perfume, alcohol, tobacco, white powder, blood and even semen unique to the Fallen Street, which immediately became pungent and irritating.
After the end of the all-night work, everyone ushered in another morning full of vitality. For them, the morning sun was just a sunset when the lights were turned off. When the 9-to-5 office workers sunset and rested, they were full of energy and high again. to the beginning of dawn.
