Lisko's American life
Chapter 72 The Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel
"Haha, Li, you are really prolific. I'm going to start busy. Recently, I have gained a lot of weight." Lubo is very happy to have something to do. After all, this represents a fortune. He collaborated with Lisko to develop The cultural company has also signed a few writers, but they are not even earning a fraction of Lisko's. If Lisko does not write new books, the company is really idle.
Lu Bo, who took the manuscript of the new book, happily went to the company to make preparations. This time he will rely on this new book to take a bite of fat from Random House, the world’s largest publishing house. He likes to talk to these publishing houses most. The conditions are discussed, the next point of fluctuation is related to the interests of millions of dollars.
Li Ske sent away Lubo and started to have nothing to do. He has completed three purposes for this trip. One is to inspect the investment company and arrange the use of this profit. The other is to visit the mentor and Mary who have not returned for a long time. , The third is the new book just given to Lubo.
According to the plan, the next thing is to transfer to Los Angeles and face something he already knows the result.
Even though I had done a lot of preparations before coming, I still hesitated.
Recalling the few months we spent with Megan, the days when we traveled together, the coffee delivered by code in the study, and her heroic figure when facing the wolves together.
Lisko didn't know why they were like this. Maybe Lisko was selfish in his heart and wanted Megan to stay with him at home. Everyone in love is selfish, but Megan wants a career more.
Despite all the unwillingness to face it, there is no escape at this juncture. Lisko packed up his bags and set off on the road to Los Angeles.
When the plane landed, Lisko went out with the flow of people. No one picked him up this time. Lubo heard that Lisko was going to the Los Angeles crew and introduced him to the director of Paramount's production department. Lisko did not contact him. , He thought that this time he came here to sort out his relationship with Megan, it is not good to go to the crew with fanfare.
Rejecting the call of the taxi to solicit passengers, Lisko got on the hotel shuttle bus.
The hotel booked this time is the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel. This hotel is located in the center of Hollywood. It has been booked by movie fans all the year round. Lisko still used the privilege of the black card to get the one.
Many movie fans regard this as an essential stop for Hollywood travel, and it is also used as a location by many film crews. There are often strange things circulating here, and it is rumored that the ghosts of some stars have always lived there.The ghost of the movie star Montgomery Cliff is said to have been staying in room 928 of the hotel.Marilyn Monroe lived in Room 246 when she first arrived in Hollywood. The large mirror in her room is now in the hall of the corridor. It is said that many people have seen her appear in the mirror.
Of course, Li Sike was also curious about this, so this time I decided to live here and booked a boutique suite.
This hotel has a history of 81 years. Since it was taken over by Thomas Hotel Group three years ago, it has undergone original renovations, trying to restore this famous Hollywood hotel with a long history and an Oscar award ceremony.
The exterior of the hotel is a white multi-storey building in ancient style. After entering, you are attracted by the coffered ceiling of the lobby. In the center is a three-story fountain. Many tourists throw coins here. Although it may be useless, it is just for seeking A psychological comfort.
The outside of the fountain is covered with beautiful white tiles. It is said that the swimming pool was painted by David Hockney, the "Godfather of British Art". Lisko stopped to take a picture.
Moving forward, he saw the mirror in the hall. Lisko watched for a while, but did not see Monroe. He had no choice but to assume that he had no fate with this world-renowned goddess.
After Lisko had shown his reservation information at the front desk, a black brother took his luggage upstairs.
The rooms here reveal the atmosphere of Hollywood's glorious era. The spacious arched room is said to be designed and repaired by the well-known design studio Yabu. Inside are placed the Belgian famous brand Martin Margiela blankets and towels, luxurious beds and sofas. .There are also luxurious bathrooms with rain showers and huge flat-screen TVs.
Lisko opened the curtains and the sunlight was projected from the windows. You could see a huge swimming pool outside the hotel and a cafe next to it.
There is also the Gole Bar nearby, and the library bar inside the hotel, which is very popular with Lisko.
In general, this hotel not only has the sensual atmosphere of Hollywood in the last century, but also adds the unique artistic design and concept of the new century. All the display and decoration will make you very comfortable and comfortable.
The beautiful environment also eased the depression in Lisko's heart. He looked at it in the afternoon, and he couldn't do other things today. He simply took the camera on his back and strolled around this famous world filmmaking mecca.
Outside the hotel, palm trees are the most visible, which is also the most distinctive landscape in Los Angeles.There are dozens of varieties, either sturdy and tall, or slender and exquisite.Among them, only California palm is a local species: the trunk is slender, the crown is fluffy, and it bears fruit all the year round. It was the daily food of local Indians in the 18th and 19th centuries.Thousands of trees were planted on both sides of the streets in the Los Angeles area in the 1920s and 1930s. They are still the main streetscapes in Hollywood, West Hollywood, Santa Monica and other areas, and they have become a symbol of Hollywood.Some people say that as long as you see palm trees, you can count as Los Angeles.
Li Sike visited all afternoon, and the camera kept taking pictures, filled with landscape photos, including Sunset Boulevard, the famous Chinese Theater, and the handprints of famous movie stars on the Avenue of Stars.
I also visited the Dolby Theater, the venue of the Oscars, Beverly Hills where celebrities gather, and the famous studio Universal Studios.
But Lisko deliberately avoided Paramount Film City, he knew that "Transformers" was filmed here.
Lisko returned to the hotel to organize his photo albums. Recently, his photography skills have been greatly improved after a lot of shooting and some book guidance. The scenes he photographed have also paid attention to composition and color.
After simply having dinner, he didn't intend to go to bed early. He wandered into the noisy bar of tourists, ordered a glass of fruit wine, and watched the men and women dancing freely on the dance floor at the counter.
Rejecting the wave of female tourists who came up to strike up a conversation, Lisko was already outstanding in appearance, and his long-term literary influence also gave him a scholarly temperament. However, his own mood was still very depressed, and he was unintentionally hunting for beauty. The bartenders here are envious.
