It is an international metropolis with great influence and one of the world's centers of culture, science, technology, international trade and higher education. It also has world-renowned institutions in various professional and cultural fields.
Of course, this was all what Li Xiaolong said to Wang Ben on the road.
And these are not what Wang Ben wants to care about. All Wang Ben cares about is Hollywood!

Hollywood is not only the birthplace of global fashion, but also the center of the global music and film industry. It also represents the highest level of the global film industry
Wang Ben walked down the ramp of the plane and stood down-to-earth on American soil. He squinted his eyes and endured the sore pain to carefully look at this magical place. But before Wang Ben saw anything special, he felt waves of discomfort in his nose and throat.
¡°Ah sneeze¡ ah sneeze¡ ah sneeze¡¡±
Wang Ben sneezed several times in a row. Tears and mucus flowed down uncontrollably. His eyes, nose and throat were all uncomfortable.
Li Xiaolong looked at Wang Ben sneezing with schadenfreude and laughed jokingly, "Ahu, you don't know the climate of Los Angeles, right?! Los Angeles is known as the 'Smog City of America'! Look at the smog floating in the sky. The light blue smoke tsk tsk tsk this is a deadly weapon! Just get used to it!"
Wang Ben wiped his nose and tears, took a closer look, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Holy crap! Smog?!"
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Oh, let me go! I thought only our Greater China region had smog. Why was there smog in Los Angeles in the 1970s? ! This is not to say that Los Angeles is the "City of Angels" or "The Sunshine City". It is a place with bright sunshine, warm climate and pleasant scenery. Are there few climate disasters? But what's going on with all this?
Standing in the airport, Wang Ben could clearly see that the entire sky of Los Angeles was covered with turbid smog, hazy like a heavy fog, and the sky was filled with haze.
This is no different from the haze weather that occurred in the previous continent!
Wang Ben couldn't help but curse: "I'm going to beat your lungs! You can encounter such horrible weather wherever you go! It's really a ghost!"
Li Xiaolong pushed Wang Bi and laughed loudly: "You'll get used to it! Come on, let's get our luggage and go home to rest. I'm still waiting for you to teach me kung fu!"
There is no creature in the world that is more adaptable than humans. There is no other country in the human race whose people are better adaptable than the Chinese. Even Sudan red, gutter oil, leather milk these things cannot do anything to the Chinese, let alone a small amount of smog.
While talking to Li Xiaolong, Wang Ben gradually adapted to the hazy weather. He gradually felt that his breathing became much easier, his eyes were no longer sore, and his nose was clear. Nothing seems amiss. But Wang Ben clearly felt that this hazy weather was damaging his body, especially his respiratory system.
After Wang Ben and Li Xiaolong got their luggage from the luggage office. I hurriedly walked towards the airport exit and saw two strong white men in suits and a Chinese young man from a distance holding a big sign that read in English - "hongkongb breasts celee".
Li Xiaolong pointed at them and smiled: "Look, they are over there!"
These people are none other than Li Xiaolong¡¯s younger brother Li Zhenghui, Robert Bega, and Luo Lishi.
Go out of the airport pick-up port. The three people gave Li Xiaolong a warm hug, "Hi! Bruce, welcome back to Los Angeles!"
As for Wang Ben, hahaha maybe they heard what Robert Bega said. No one came to hug Wang Ben. Li Zhenghui and Luo Lishi shook hands with Wang Ben politely, while Robert Bega did not even dare to shake hands, and avoided Wang Ben with timid eyes. Don't dare to move forward.
Li Xiaolong hugged Robert Bega and laughed: "Hey! Brother, you seem a little afraid of Ahu? Oh, by the way, Ahu, what is your English name? I have never known your English name. ¡±
English name?
Hehehehe Wang Ben used to call him suckcock on Facebook OK and MFC.
Everyone understands this.
But if Wang Ben said it now, he would definitely be laughed to death.
Wang Ben suppressed his laughter and casually made up a name and said, "When I was in school, my English teacher gave me an English name called Vincent. You can just call me Vincent."
Li Xiaolong smiled and said: "Vincent? That's a good name! It means conquering in Latin. Well, most people think that Vincent is a quiet man with artistic taste, stable and considerate"
Robert Bega muttered on the side: "Oh, no! Vincent! This name is so right! He is an evil sinner!"
Li Xiaolong has very pointed ears. Although Robert Bega¡¯s voice was very low, Li Xiaolong could still hear him clearly. Li Xiaolong patted Robert Bega on the shoulder and said seriously: "Hey, Robert Bega, you have to defeat your fear. Although Vincent is very strong, so powerful that I can't compete with him, we shouldn't be afraid of him ¡¡±
Robert Bega glanced at Wang Ben and couldn't help but tremble when he saw the harmless smile on Wang Ben's face. Robert Bega thought of everything Wang Ben had done to him, and how he had been treated like a puppet in Wang Ben's hands. "Bruce, don't you know Vincent can do magic? He just touched him lightly." If you touch me, I willI willI will not be able to control my body at all"
"oh?"
Li Xiaolong, Li Zhenghui, and Luo Lishi were all surprised. They had never heard Rob Bega mention it.
Li Xiaolong asked in confusion: "What's going on? When did you fight? Why didn't I know? Vincent, tell us."
Wang Ben waved his hands and said nonchalantly: "It's nothing. Robbega and I have never fought against each other. I just made a little joke with Robbeca at the opening ceremony of "Fist of Fury". Bruce, let's go back first. talk later!"
Although Li Xiaolong and the others were confused, after being reminded by Wang Ben, they understood that the airport was not a place for talking. Li Xiaolong suppressed the curiosity in his heart, greeted Wang Ben, turned around and walked out of the airport.
"Vincent. When you go back, you have to tell us carefully. Tell us what you did to Robert Bega to make him so afraid of you."
Wang Ben shook his head and said perfunctorily: "It's nothing, just some tricks. Bruce, when you reach that level, you can do it easily."
I took the plane at around 13:00 Xiangjiang time. After more than ten hours of flight, it was already around 10 noon Los Angeles time when the plane landed at Los Angeles Airport.
Several people returned to Li Xiaolong¡¯s home in Los Angeles in two cars.
This house located in the Bell District, a high-end residential area, was bought by Li Xiaolong in 1967. It has a garden lawn and a large area. At the same time, Li Xiaolong also owns a red convertible Mercedes-Benz sports car. License plate number ax6521. It is said that he was the first person in Hong Kong to own such a car. Li Xiaolong even found a luxury villa with a swimming pool in Miami.
¡°All these are signs of Li Xiaolong¡¯s success in Hollywood.
Since Li Xiaolong¡¯s father passed away a few years ago, Li Xiaolong¡¯s family of six lived in this house until Jiahe invited Li Xiaolong to make a movie in Xiangjiang.
After visiting Li Xiaolong¡¯s mother, Ms. He, Wang Ben officially lived in Li Xiaolong¡¯s home.
Wang Ben has had enough rest on the plane. At this time, he doesn¡¯t feel sleepy at all, and there is no need to suffer from jet lag. After lunch, Wang Ben proposed to go to Hollywood for a walk.
Although Li Xiaolong really wanted Wang Ben to teach him kung fu immediately and relieve his itch, but since Wang Ben proposed to go to Hollywood for a visit. It's not easy for him to refuse. So Li Xiaolong drove to Hollywood with Wang Ben, Robert Bega, and Royce.
Hollywood is located in the northwest corner of Los Angeles, only a dozen kilometers away from Los Angeles. The distance is really close. The group of people drove to Hollywood in ten minutes.
Wang Ben was sitting in the car and saw the huge Hollywood landmark building on the mountain from a distance - the huge white Hollywood billboard.
After the car entered Hollywood along Hollywood Boulevard, Wang Ben and Li Xiaolong began to visit the scenic spots in Hollywood.
? Chinese Theater.
There is a saying that has been circulating for decades: "When you arrive in Los Angeles, the United States, it would be a shame if you don't go to the Chinese Theater. It would be like going to China but not going to the Great Wall." Chinese Theater It has become the beginning of people's understanding of Hollywood movies.
It is said that Chinese theaters are buildings full of Chinese elements, but in Wang Ben¡¯s opinion, this is simplyIt's just nonsense.
In Wang Ben¡¯s eyes, Chinese theater is just a different place. Wang Ben couldn't see how many Chinese elements there were in it. The appearance of the theater is very similar to the architectural styles in Thailand and Vietnam.
The two coral-red pillars at the door are not columns, but polygonal pillars with edges and corners; Wang Bian didn't realize that the two wrought iron masks hanging on the pillars were from Chinese history. Or that character from mythology or drama; the two big stone tengu on both sides of the door are even more funny. Dogs are good friends of mankind and are good at guarding homes and courtyards, but Tengu is a ferocious beast that eats the sun and moon. Who has ever heard of using a mythical beast like Tengu to guard the door?
There is also the high-rise roof and the messy eaves and ridges. How do they look like ancient Chinese buildings? !
What you can say about Chinese theater is really laughable!
Looking at the mess in front of him, Wang Ben was not in the mood to go in and take a look.
However, the Avenue of Stars in front of this theater is still worth seeing, although Wang Ben basically couldn't recognize which movie stars, famous directors, screenwriters and photographers these stars represented. However, this does not hinder Wang Ben's enjoyment of watching.
At this time, there are no handprints or nose prints of Chinese stars such as Li Xiaolong, Cheng Long, Feng Xiaogang, Wu Yusen, etc. on the Avenue of Stars in Shanghai. The only Chinese star is Ms. Huang Liushuang¡¯s star.
Speaking of which, Anna May Wong was the first Chinese to be famous in Hollywood, and the only Chinese woman to be famous in Hollywood at that time. After Huang Liushuang's death, there was a period of vacancy among Chinese actresses in Hollywood, and then there were Lu Yan, Chen Chong, etc. Later, Gong Li, International Zhang, Fan Ye and others went to Hollywood. However, their achievements and influence are far inferior to that of Anna May Wong.
Li Xiaolong looked at the smooth terrazzo and the golden copper five-pointed star, and proudly said to Wang Bi: "One day I will let my name stay on this Avenue of Stars!"
Looking at Li Xiaolong¡¯s arrogant look, Wang Ben couldn¡¯t help but feel a little dazed, remembering that in his previous life, Li Xiaolong¡¯s name was indeed left on the Avenue of Stars. But it was not when Li Xiaolong was alive, but more than 20 years after Li Xiaolong's death, his son Li Guohao applied for the Hollywood Walk of Fame. I just don¡¯t know when will Li Xiaolong leave this star in this life?
Wang Ben¡¯s mind was rolling with memories of his previous life, and his eyes seemed to be full of clouds of smoke. He thought to himself: Maybe because of my arrival, Li Xiaolong¡¯s fate will change!
Royce and Robbega looked at these stars who were destined to leave their names in world film history with envy, and nodded enthusiastically: "Bruce, I believe in you! I believe that one day I will also leave my name on this!" "
Li Xiaolong looked at Wang Benzheng in a daze and asked curiously: "Vincent, what are you thinking about?"
Wang Ben shook his head to calm down the turbulent memories in his mind, then looked at Li Xiaolong and said with a smile: "Bruce, just wait and see. Not only do I want to leave my name on this, I also want to win the Academy Award." My trophy. And one day I will build an Avenue of Stars in Hong Kong and hold a Hong Kong Film Awards, so that all the filmmakers in the world will be proud to have their names on the Avenue of Stars in Hong Kong, and let them all win. We are proud of the Hong Kong Film Awards"
Li Xiaolong didn¡¯t expect Wang Ben¡¯s wish to be so big, so big that he had never dared to think about it. But Wang Ben's lawless thoughts really appealed to his taste.
¡°Bah bang bang¡¡±
Li Xiaolong laughed and applauded: "Okay! Vincent, your idea is great! I support you! We are going to hold a world-wide film award in Hong Kong and let them come to Hong Kong to participate in the awards ceremony ¡±
Robbega and Luo Lishi were so shocked by Wang Ben's ambition that they rolled their eyes and said to themselves: You actually want to hold a film award in such a small city? I really don¡¯t know how high the sky is and how high it is! Even if you really held a movie award, I'm afraid no Hollywood movies would participate!
Li Xiaolong waved his hand and said with a smile: "Let's go! Let's go check out other places! After dark, we'll go to the Beverly Hills Hotel for dinner!"
