Located in the north of Los Angeles, Hollywood has grown into a world-renowned small town after more than half a century of development. It is not only the world's top movie factory but also represents the essence of the American film industry, and has developed into one of the most popular tourist attractions in the world.In this world of film, Hollywood Boulevard flows slowly like a winding river, connecting Hollywood together completely. The entire street is in a noisy atmosphere at any time, even comparable to Times Square, which is known as the crossroads of the world. The east-west street has both symbols of the era's prosperity and traces of history. The ubiquitous entertainment and fashion shows on both sides of the road are natural stages, providing everyone with a bright and beautiful display space. The Hollywood Sign, Universal Studios, and many filming locations in the distance condense the unique charm of this movie city, making people unable to distinguish whether they are in a movie or the real world in a trance.The section of Hollywood Boulevard that starts from Gower Street in the east and ends at La Brea Avenue in the west is the famous Hollywood Walk Of Fame. This sidewalk is embedded with more than two thousand star-shaped medals, each star representing an outstanding contribution to the entertainment industry by the recipient. Although the way it is nominated and confirmed is still subject to countless doubts, it does not affect the attention and authoritative status of the Hollywood Walk Of Fame at all. Winning a place on this sidewalk is a huge reward for anyone.Since the first star appeared on this avenue in 1960, forty-two years have passed. Although more than two thousand stars have been signed with names, it is still a very, very small part in the face of the huge base of participants in the entertainment industry. Therefore, for most people, the significance of the Hollywood Walk Of Fame is just for commemoration, sightseeing, and remembrance. This also makes the Hollywood Walk Of Fame one of the most popular performance venues for street performers in Los Angeles.From the sunrise, various performers can be seen starting their day's work on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame, especially in front of the bustling Hollywood & Highland Entertainment Complex, which always becomes a fiercely contested spot for street performers.As the sun slanted westward, the lively scene on the sidewalk not only did not weaken but became even more lively. The fiery sunset rendered the crowded crowd into a tragic boiling point. Under a lamppost near La Brea Avenue, a ragged tramp lay weakly on the ground, stretching out his right hand and constantly trying to stop passersby, hoping that someone would stop and give some change. The blood-red light draped over the tramp, clearly showing the dirty and filthy patches on his body. Seeing this, everyone frowned involuntarily and then quickly bypassed and left.Homeless tramps are not uncommon in Los Angeles, and blacks and Mexicans occupy the majority. Trash-picking beggars, disheveled punks, listless drug addicts... you can see quite a few just by standing on the street and looking around. However, the block division of Los Angeles is very obvious. The activity areas of these tramps are very limited. They will only appear in specific areas, and it is difficult to see them in high-end luxury financial districts and upper-class society areas. Although there is no clear rule as to which street is the boundary, like Chinatown or Little Tokyo, tramps always know their belonging and stay out of the way of wealthy white people—the riots caused by the Rodney King incident in April were obviously an exception.However, the so-called activity areas of these tramps obviously do not include Hollywood Boulevard, so it is not a common thing to see tramps here. When many people pass by this tramp, they subconsciously look for Patrol Officers on the street. To prevent chaos caused by tramps, police patrols are always relatively dense, especially now that the aftermath of the Rodney King incident has not completely disappeared, it is even more obvious. But these passersby were disappointed because there were two Patrol Officers standing less than a hundred yards away from the tramp, but they obviously had no intention of driving the tramp away.Locals in Los Angeles will soon react. The tramp must have obtained a permit for street performance through City Hall. After the Patrol Officers confirm it, they will naturally not drive him away. Large cities like New York and Los Angeles are always crowded with countless street performers. In order to regulate management, it is impossible for just anyone to take a guitar and perform on the street. This is the same nature as setting up a stall anywhere. Therefore, street performers who want to obtain legal performance qualifications can submit an application to City Hall, thereby winning a place for themselves on the street. Obviously, this tramp should be one of the permitted members.But for outsiders and tourists, they cannot understand the ins and outs of this. After all, few people will associate a down-and-out tramp with gorgeous street performance. As a result, almost everyone who passed by frowned and walked around, full of doubts and confusion about the security of the Hollywood Walk Of Fame, and continued to move forward.At this time, a tall boy carrying a guitar walked over with steady steps, but he lowered his head as if thinking about something. Such passersby can be seen everywhere on the streets of Los Angeles. Although the most famous music academies in the United States seem to be concentrated in New York, and Broadway has become one of the landmarks of New York, Los Angeles is the most famous concentration of theaters in the world. From drama to symphony to art communities, the musical blood of Los Angeles is not inferior to the popularity of Hollywood movies. A variety of West Coast music was conceived and developed in the city of Los Angeles, not to mention that the world's most authoritative and top Grammy Awards originated in Los Angeles.Therefore, music flows slowly in this city, and all kinds of independent musicians are countless.The boy seemed too serious, so he didn't notice the tramp on his left. His left foot was hooked by the tramp's left hand, and his center of gravity was unstable, so he rushed forward, almost hitting a lady in front. The boy seemed to realize that he had made a mistake, so he quickly supported the lady and kept trying to apologize. The lady was fine to begin with, and after the boy's attempt to apologize, she immediately waved her hand to indicate that she was okay.But before the boy and the lady could say anything else, the wailing sound next to them rang out, My hand, jesus christ, my hand! The sharp cry sounded a bit impetuous and a bit hideous, My hand must be broken, my hand!Looking back, the person who made the shouting was the tramp.The tramp's voice made a dozen people around the sidewalk stop. Then some people didn't want to meddle in other people's business and walked away quickly, some stayed to watch the fun, and some began to discuss what had happened. For a time, it attracted a lot of attention nearby.Sir, madam, sorry, really sorry. The boy was full of panic, and that immature and raw expression clearly conveyed his helplessness. Because the tramp's voice was slightly rough and it was difficult to distinguish between male and female, the boy would apologize incoherently. He even squatted down directly, preparing to check the tramp's situation.But before the boy's hand touched him, the tramp screamed again, You want to break my hand, you damn guy! Do you want to kill me? This sharp sound was like the sound of glass rubbing on a blackboard, making people feel very uncomfortable.The pedestrians nearby suddenly exploded, because people with discerning eyes could see that the boy had done nothing, and the tramp started screaming. This was obviously the tramp seeing that the boy was young and wanting to blackmail a sum of money. It was too obvious. However, none of the onlookers took the initiative to come forward to help, but someone called a nearby Patrol Officer, but still, no one reminded the boy.The boy seemed as if he hadn't noticed all this at all, looking at the tramp in front of him in a panic, Ambulance, do you need to call an ambulance? The boy's youthful face was already at a loss, and his clear eyes looked so helpless and innocent, which made people feel sympathetic. The bright eyebrows even oozed a thin layer of sweat, making people suspect that he might cry at any time, Sorry, I was thinking about things just now, I really didn't pay attention, I really didn't mean it. The boy explained in a panic, Let, let me help you up, don't lie down.As the boy spoke, he reached out to grab the tramp's shoulder, but he didn't want to just touch the shoulder, and the tramp jumped up from the ground immediately, completely devoid of the weakness he had shown just a moment ago, What! Indecent assault! Indecent assault! This person wants to indecently assault me!What is this rhythm? The onlookers were stunned, could this tramp be a woman?The tramp sat up against the lamppost, grabbed his collar, and stared fiercely at the boy. The fierce look made people shudder, Don't think about moving an inch of my skin! If you don't give me an explanation today, don't think about leaving!Wha... what? The boy was scared, and his innocent eyes were almost filled with clear tears.The tramp gritted his teeth fiercely and stepped forward step by step, scaring the boy to keep retreating, I broke my hand, and tried to indecently assault me. If you don't compensate me, I will go to court to sue you!Money? What money? I don't have money. The boy was completely at a loss. Bystanders finally couldn't stand it anymore and stood up to speak for the boy, but as soon as the words came out, Hey, buddy... The result was fiercely glared at by the tramp, and then roared, Do you want to join forces to bully a homeless person? Or is there someone who wants to pay for him?The fierce tone didn't sound like a woman at all, but it reminded people of the tough creature like a mastiff. Although everyone thought that the tramp intended to cheat money, no one was sure whether the tramp was really injured, so they were shocked by the tramp for a while.But fortunately, the Patrol Officer came!
