Didn't you say that we would lose money after filming?

Yes, Eddie himself wasn’t having a good time either.

In fact, this is not just his current situation, but the current situation of the vast majority of black people.

Now everyone knows that the problem of blacks in America is very serious, and the crime rate among blacks is very high. Probably at least six out of every ten criminals are black.

This also leads to the fact that the police themselves are also in a very sensitive state towards black people when enforcing the law. If they are not careful, they will take the initiative to draw their guns, empty the magazines, and then happily take administrative leave.

Then the shooting of a black person will trigger a series of public opinion storms on the Internet, intensifying the spread of various racial movements.

Then similar things happened again, over and over again.

But why did this happen? In Eddie's mind, he knew it very well, because he himself was a black man, and he could empathize with some things, and he himself was in this environment.

To put it bluntly, discrimination does exist and it cannot be eliminated. It is also a commonplace in this country and is nothing new.

But the main reason is that the circle of life available to black people is too narrow and too small.

It is because of the invisible discrimination that has brought about various barriers in their lives. The areas where they live are called black communities, and they affectionately call these communities hoods.

The most famous thing about the black area is that it is chaotic and has poor public security.

But why is public security so bad? Because the police are mainly concentrated in white communities and communities where rich people gather.

Black neighborhood? At night, you'd be lucky if you saw a police car every two hours, and there weren't many surveillance cameras on the road.

It's nothing like the rich white community, where there's a police car every three steps, and police patrol every street all night, and the nightlife is very rich.

Another problem is that their upward channels are blocked. They do not have educational benefits, cannot enjoy many policies that benefit the people, and even many industries have barriers that they cannot enter.

The same is true for basic education, which has resulted in many black people being in dire straits. They have no money, no education, and their upward path is blocked, so they have no other way out.

Here, let me ask them, why do you choose to rob stores instead of becoming doctors or lawyers?

Just like asking: Why don’t you eat meat?

Same thing.

For so many years, there have been only three paths open to black people.

Either singing or playing ball.

Or, join a gang, live on the streets, and barely make a living.

This is the current situation faced by the vast majority of black people in America.

The same is true for Eddie, he is also a black youth in trouble. Although he looks fat and strong, it is precisely because he is fat and strong that he is poor. This is poor fat. In America, rich people are not fat.

For so many years, he has been living a miserable life. Although he looks like a decent person on the surface, his old mother at home is actually seriously ill.

Father? He had never seen what his father looked like. He had been dependent on his mother since he was a child.

Now that his mother is lying in bed, he can only do odd jobs to make money.

However, compared with his mother's sky-high medical expenses, the burden was overwhelming for him even after the bai card was approved.

If he doesn't find a way to make some money, he will probably have to resort to the old ways of working on the streets.

But didn't Eddie know that this would put him in jail? Didn't he know that this was a bad life?

He knew it, he knew it very well.

But he had no choice.

If he had a choice, he would leave those people on the street and his community, because he himself is not a troublemaker and he thinks he is kind at heart.

At this time, when he was walking on the street, a director appeared and said he wanted to make a movie with him? This made Eddie very unconfident and very suspicious.

He himself lived in the poor class and was familiar with certain scams, so he was very vigilant.

His first reaction was that he didn't believe it.

Where in the world can such a good thing happen?
Moreover, he was just an ordinary young man with a low level of education. He only studied after high school because his family could no longer afford his tuition. Compared with the high tuition fees of universities, even if he took out a loan to go to university, he would be burdened with a huge debt in the future that he might need to repay for more than ten or twenty years.

But his mother's health is obviously more important. As the mother who raised him, he can take risks for her, even if it means going to jail.

In comparison, it is much more important than going to college.

First of all, he is uneducated and not handsome. He is a morbidly obese boy. Not to mention being an actor. An actor needs acting skills. Generally speaking, people believe that only students who have been trained in film and television academies can be actors.

For some ordinary people, even if you work in Hollywood for your whole life, it is difficult to have a chance to stand out in your life. The chance is too small.

He is very clear.

So Eddie's first instinctive reaction was to shake his head and refuse: "No no no, I don't need it, bro."

"What if the pay is $50?" Xia Yuan asked, "I can give you $10 first, and then give you the remaining $40 after the filming is finished."

This time, Eddie couldn't walk anymore.

"Are you sure?" He was somewhat shocked at the generosity of the Hanxia man in front of him.

Nowadays, isn't it said that those who run companies are all stinky capitalists, extremely damnable, and all vampires?

I wish I could squeeze every last bit of your labor power out of you.

How can there be someone so generous! ?

However, Xia Yuan said nothing, took a suitcase from the table next to him, and opened it in front of everyone.

In an instant, the whole audience exclaimed. Several policemen nearby were holding semi-automatic rifles. Their standing postures and vigilant eyes tightened a bit, and it was obvious that they were ready to shoot at any time.

Because the box that Xia Yuan opened was actually filled with banknotes! Stacks upon stacks of green money!

This is Xia Yuan’s plan. As long as it can be solved with money, it’s not a big deal.

What about 21st century foxes?
Do they need to worry about money?

They don't need to be afraid of losses!
Although with their current small size, it would seem like a futile attempt to clash with such a capital giant, Xia Yuan also wants to give it a try with no cost and see where the gap between himself and these capital giants lies.

He is now making movies more to challenge himself, isn't this the best opportunity?
And Eddie was completely dumbfounded.

Xia Yuan didn't say much nonsense. He took out a stack of banknotes and threw them in front of Eddie, the strange black youth, and then took out a contract: "As long as you sign this contract, the 10 yuan will be yours."

To be honest, Eddie was moved.

After all, the green banknotes were in front of him, which made him very worried about his mother who was extremely short of money and had to wait for money for medical treatment at any time. The 50 yuan could indeed save her life.

Even changing their family's living conditions would be an easy thing to do.

After looking at the contract, he didn't see anything wrong.

It really is a film and television contract! It is clearly written that the salary is $50! And that is after tax!

Eddie nodded and agreed immediately: "I promise you!"

"You will be glad for the choice you made today. You can rest assured that I will definitely play a handsome role for you." Xia Yuan said with a smile to calm the man down.

After the first example, things became much easier, and the crowd immediately became excited. (End of this chapter)
