After waiting for a long time, I can only write "The Walking Dead" yesterday and "Legend of the Fallen Street" today.
I have to say that the seventh episode is the most "violent" episode since the broadcast. All the seemingly unexpected or not unexpected changes are actually traceable: the prostitutes have suffered from bad habits, and the pimps have become more and more Marginalized, Irene began to show her talent in filmmaking, Auston was photographed by the new police inspector, Leon killed Reggie, who had long disliked her, and Ashley made up her mind to leave New York...
No matter who or what, at the "end" will change, and that day will come sooner or later.
Too big cake
In the opening scene, the four bosses talked about things, and the issue discussed was the holiday when Rudy asked Matthew to trouble him in the last episode-as Rudy expected, Carmine really supported him.
It's really unnecessary for them to "fight and fight" internally. If they have the energy to fight, it is better to put it into the business that is about to expand in an all-round way. "We all have a share."
Another unnamed source agreed with Carmine, and it was time for the little conflict between Rudy and Matthew to be over.
"No one needs to meddle in other people's business, so why compete with each other for food? Now the plate is so big that everyone has enough to eat. Let's move forward and make a lot of money together."
But what is really worth noting is Rudy's sentence: "If that idiot can't be president, will he ask the police to close down the brothel?" Unstable hazard...
Carmine bluntly said that it is a "policy chaos period", that is to say, continue to make money from the chaos, anyway, it is not their turn to be unlucky if something goes wrong in the end.
Then continue to expand the business, Rudy put forward the idea of Mike's "private movie theater" - it's really wretched, yes, you can make a profit without losing money.
Rudy pretended to be very disgusted and hesitant, while he found Franky and asked him to supervise the business of the audio-visual bookstore. Franky would naturally not miss the beautiful business that came to his door.
Compared to your brother Vincent, you are so easy to take the bait - Rudy may really be giving Frankie a chance in Vincent's face, but if one day in the future "the wind changes" "It's more secure for twin brothers to take the blame together...
Frankie was full of dreams of making a fortune at the moment.
The money is rolling, and in the future, I will have more money to play cards, gamble, and open a house!
daily life in a brothel
Vincent is the shopkeeper, and the brothel is run by Bobby and Black Frankie, but these days are not as nourishing as they imagined, because there are a lot of bad things.
For example, Xia Yi, who had been a little delirious after smoking white powder without restraint for a long time, finally fell over from the drug.
Two big men had to send her to the hospital, and they didn't expect to make money. It's good that you don't let the brothel lose money ...
The point is, Bobby didn't tell Reggie, he really despised those pimps, what could he do without anyone here? From this, Bobby has big ambitions to take pimps instead (no need for you bloodsuckers anymore).
When the client came to pick someone, he always kept Tiffany on purpose and let others start work. Finally, Tiffany couldn't help but get angry: Brother, don't let the clock go up, I'm going to drink the northwest wind? !
Apparently, Tiffany became Bobby's "soft underbelly" . He wanted to make money to support his family, but he actually paid a prostitute to talk to him...
Bobby's "little hobby" is showing signs of becoming more and more addictive. In the end, he treats Tiffany as the proprietress. She is also a bitch under Rodney. Why is the treatment gap so big? Ruby couldn't stand it, it was obvious that everyone was dissatisfied, but Bobby didn't know it.
There is no true love in the game - Bobby really likes Tiffany, which affects his normal judgment. Sooner or later, something will happen.
And the other two people who would have an accident sooner or later, finally had an accident.
Often in the river walk defiled, a straight is not busted, fueling Barbara and Melissa arrogance, dare to steal money in the brothel where guests ...... around so many people want to be debunked Denying can't be bothered.
Drug bitch, crush bitch, whining bitch, money stealing bitch... Bobby's been upset about this all day, and now another cop out of nowhere is asking for a bribe.
Different from the 14th Bureau and the Southern District Government, this one is from the "Public Morality Task Force" - the newly established "Disciplinary Ranger", who is looking for trouble with lawbreakers with corrupt morals. Quickly spend money to buy peace.
You are in the gold-selling cave, and you have a lot of money every day, but everyone wants to take a bite of this fat meat, and even yourself is wiping it in disguise... Bobby, have you made any money?
Justice may be late...
Determined to expose the shady scene, Auston told Sandra and the police the conspiracy of the police station , and brought her outside the brothel to introduce the situation: the prostitutes work twice a day, and it was our police who drove them indoors.
Sandra was stupid and naive to "teach" Auston how to investigate, the latter immediately rolled his eyes: You think I don't want to? But I'm just a little cop who's been doing it for 7 years, a little guy, a little trick.
Not only that, Auston also confessed the fact that he accepted bribes - it can be seen that he did not think that he was getting too little, but that he really couldn't stand the darkness around him.
A bright and upright little policeman with an unshakable conscience, a little reporter who embraces ideals and is a little naive, just like this sparked a spark ... After Auston successfully went to base, the relationship between the two was further closer.
The proud Allston was at a loss when he returned to the police station. The new Superintendent Pete McDonagh seemed to pay special attention to himself, and even asked him to take him on patrol by name.
"Why me?" McDowell confided the truth, and the excellent black policeman Benjamin Ward was his mentor, who once said: " If you go to a new place and want to know the truth, find a retired police officer without a title. A black cop who works hard on his own, if he hasn't been promoted, it means he has no shelter, he is likely to be on the street a lot, and he is trustworthy. "
Kind of racist, but that's the reality. The "meat policeman" who greedily asks for bribes, and the "vegetarian policeman" who doesn't ask for bribes but accepts bribes as usual (you can't be a policeman if you don't eat meat and vegetables), who are you?
McDonagh told Auston earnestly that it is understandable to be a "plain police officer" in order to keep going, but the era of "meat police" is over. You are a police officer with bottom line, ambition and brain. Are you interested in talking to me? Raise a storm?
Justice may be late, but it is never absent—the same is the public morality task force, some police officers just continue to ask for bribes under different names, and some police officers want to revolutionize.
make better movies
In order to make a living, Irene still contacted Alex and became a senior call girl. At least the quality of customers, her own safety and the selling environment have been greatly improved.
But even if he drinks, eats, and engages in a lot of messy foreplay, the result is still the same... After disarming, spitting, and standing up, he still throws people away.
Selling B is selling B. No matter in the streets or in high-end hotels, the essence is the same. Irene has long been disgusted by this.
Her real "professional ideal" is on the movie, and now porn movies are welcoming a warm spring - when Paul and Todd watched the movie and had a big birthday celebration, Todd revealed that the industry was planning to make a movie with an investment of 100,000 yuan Dollar porn, what a big deal.
In such a favorable and prosperous industry environment, the performance of "well-known director" Harvey is not very professional. On the whole set, not only the actors' expressions and movements are stiff, but the director is also absent-minded and perfunctory. Only Irene alone is more attentive and careful. Focus on thinking about each link.
I corrected Harvey for calling the wrong actor's name, and I gave permission for Harvey not to eat lunch, and Irene seemed to be a warm-hearted eldest sister .
You must know that at this time, she has already finished two films, not only does not appear tired, but also participates in various tasks energetically.
It can be seen that Irene's behaviors such as buying meals, buying sheets, and teaching Lori are all clear that they are buying people's hearts, and they also intend to show their experience and talents (it seems that the income of being a call girl is considerable)...
But what can be done about this, who made Harvey's shooting and management methods so outdated and old-fashioned?
After a whole day of filming, the actor was afraid that he would vomit, and the actress couldn't lift himself up. Harvey felt impatient, but he just used the simplest, crudest and weakest means of motivation...
In the atmosphere where a man wants to be impotent and a woman wants to yawn, Erin suddenly (finally) speaks: Look how sexy she is, her ruddy breasts... raise your hips, relax... go deep, take your time...
Irene used enough "practical experience" to start getting the actors back into the state and enjoy the process - the best plays are not "acted", but true.
Field affairs, art director, action director, live dubbing, director... Irene's "all-round talent" attracted Harvey's attention, and he had to re-examine this woman.
" How did you end up like this? A smart woman like you shouldn't be degraded to prostitution and filmmaking... " Haha, Harvey, don't try to dig into me.
However, in this "frank and honest" working environment, everyone is quite honest, and Harvey generously admits that he is a scum, in exchange for Irene's further goodwill, maybe she will tell her own story in the future.
In fact, it’s not that difficult to make a movie. It’s just like standing on the street to open a room and ask for a bed. It’s enough to add a few tricks- Lori found the trick and fun , and couldn’t help but go to watch his own little movie, I’m so beautiful… …
Mooney also gave a comfortable flattery as Lowry left.
A futuristic and promising pornographic film production team has begun to take shape.
Rebellious and growing elves
Abby is the "bond character" of the episode , strung together three storylines, the most charming one being her own.
A letter from her parents asking her daughter to go back to Connecticut for a large, high-end cocktail party is probably a boring party in Abby's eyes that she really doesn't like and doesn't want to go to - unless I can make the occasion "interesting" ".
So Abby began to fool Vincent, accompany me to the party, don't need to wear a suit, just wear your usual jacket and boots to attend~
During this period, there was a small episode. Reggie came to Vincent to discuss because Bobby concealed Shay's hospitalization, but Vincent said directly that he had nothing to do with the brothel.
In addition to not wanting to deal with troubles, Vincent subconsciously really does not want to admit that he is involved in running a brothel - his lingering sense of shame and guilt may be the key to turning disaster into good fortune in the future.
Vincent was wearing casual clothes, Abby borrowed Ashley's tight dress, and the two attended a formal occasion with jewels and staggering...
Vincent immediately apologized to Abby's father, saying that he didn't know... There is no way, in the face of "elders" who are high-class people and a big round at first glance, Vincent can only show the basic etiquette of social people , don't you laugh He said, "Uncle, your daughter is great~" Well.
And Abby's father really fits the image of some upper-class people. His words are decent and polite, but he looks down on hillbilly.
Vincent, my daughter is very good, she can have great achievements in the future, look at you...
Before the words were finished, Abby took Vincent to dance. The two of them became "hippies" in formal occasions, and they were aliens in everyone's eyes.
It's hard to say what Vincent thinks, but it's not hard to guess what Abby thinks, recalling what Ashley said to her in the fifth episode: "Dad, husband, pimp are all the same, they only like you until you try to change."
Say that I am rebellious and ignorant, whatever you want, I just want to be myself.
"Knowing mistakes can be corrected"
While insisting on herself, Abby is still fighting and compromising with the things she is dissatisfied with. From this point of view, she is indeed growing up . The direct evidence is that she has spoken to Darlene again, and also talked to the other party about parties. thing……
But that doesn't mean that Abby doesn't have any problems, she still broods about Darlene taking Bernice into the water.
Darlene didn't answer Abby's question because she didn't know how to...
Bernice, who goes by the pseudonym "Jiang Jiang", is very popular. She has repeat customers, and she will definitely earn more money, but she is really not suitable for this business - suddenly one day, Bernice collapsed, and the client did nothing to her. Crying to doubt life.
The meaning of "Big Sister" Ruby's rebuke to Darlene is obvious: you have brought the wrong person into the industry.
Darlene, who began to reflect, finally admitted her mistake, "I shouldn't have brought a country girl like you to New York, go home quickly, you will die if you stay."
Regardless of whether Bernice will leave in the end, Darlene has at least grown further. She and Abby are like two extremes of extreme reality and extreme ideal, constantly "neutralizing" development in the other direction, becoming more and more Mature and sensible.
The pimp in the sun
Pimps are too comfortable, or rather, too uncomfortable . It stands to reason that you don't have to deal with prostitutes every day and night, you don't have to go to the police station to pay bail, and you can easily collect the money. It's a pleasure... But the question is, what is our value?
When CC, Larry, and Rodney were chatting, they expressed this feeling . They had nothing to do all day, and didn't know what to do to pass the time.
"Prostitutes are still prostitutes, money is still money, what about pimps? What is it now?" CC revealed their real crisis. After a long time, there will be no need for pimps on this street. They realize the danger, but there is nothing they can do.
The only one who is still "fighting" is Reggie, who still wants to hold the "managership" of his girls firmly in his hands (of course, also because Shay and Melissa are worried).
Xia Yi was sent to the hospital, and he insisted on emphasizing, "You don't want pimps to come to your store, so do your best... You have to compensate me!"
With one less source of income, Reggie ignored Melissa's "sisterhood" of bringing food to Xia, and forcibly took it away to make up for the shortfall. He hated the pain of reduced income, and even more hated the emptiness of having someone do everything for him. feel.
Compared with the rude Reggie, CC's superficial skills are much better. Ashley disappears, and he doesn't dare to attack in front of others. He can only believe that she will "change her mind".
For a long time, CC favored one over the other, treated Lori and treated Ashley unfairly, and thought that everything was under control. When Ashley really disappeared, he really felt: Now, prostitutes don’t need pimps, and pimps don’t have prostitutes Not even a fart...
The most dramatic episode appears in Leon, the restaurant owner who has been acting as a "background board" - and looking back at the previous episodes, you can find that he cares about the treatment and feelings of prostitutes. He is a very "demeanor" man. Often chats with Melissa very much.
Originally, Leon couldn't stand the practice of pimps yelling at prostitutes and scolding and insulting them, but he was not good at meddling...
But Reggie, the most violent pimp, dragged Melissa away and beat Melissa again and again, pushing his anger to the breaking point.
Finally, Reggie wanted to rudely take Melissa away again, made a rude statement to herself, and the food that was made was not tasted by customers... Leon was tired of enduring it.
With a blank face, he pulled out a gun and killed Reggie in one fell swoop. Then he calmly called the police and waited for the police to come to the door.
Maybe Leon just wants Melissa to have a good Taiping meal (what a good cook), but the reality is that she has lost the pimp who has been taking care of her and now has to run away from trouble.
Melissa had understanding, gratitude, loss, resentment and sadness in her eyes. She had to say goodbye to Leon and farewell to Reggie.
And Reggie's end is probably the most exaggerated and most prophetic portrayal of the pimps.
self, freedom
The protagonist of this episode is Ashley, and her role runs through the beginning and end, and it is also the content that best interprets the theme of the episode.
CC sent Ashley to work, but she took Lori to rest. This kind of unfair treatment once again stimulated Ashley's already complaining little emotions... She has experienced too many situations like this, but suddenly today tired.
Going to TM, my mother skipped work today.
If she was just stealing for half a day, and then went back to work, Ashley's behavior would be meaningless, but the "wannabe" experience that followed had gradually enlightened her.
When drinking alone in a bar, Frankie approached and chatted up. Ashley directly revealed her identity as a prostitute, but she didn't expect that the other party would not care at all.
There are not many things that can be gained from sister Yao's work experience, which happens to include "better ability to distinguish between men's hypocrisy", Ashley can see that Franky can't lie, and he has the cheek to pull himself to follow Paul They go to the movies... Anyway, I have nothing to do, so I'll go out with you little cutie.
As a result, Frankie found the truth movies Dahushangdang trouble a lot of jokes, but Ashley was accustomed to, but also "the audience response" was amused very happy.
So, when the two walked out of the theater successively, talked, kissed, and opened the room, everything happened logically.
Frankie, who believes in "everyday is drunk and now drunk", estimates that he will run out of money after opening a good room, and he has never thought about the consequences of "kicking away" a prostitute with a pimp... But Ashley seems to have nothing to do with it. She didn't care, she only cared about the comfortable bed sheets in the high-end hotel room, and the temperament revealed by Franky, who had no fixed place and no possessions - freedom.
In the words of idealism, a person can see what he thinks in his heart.
Frankie couldn't take Ashley and gave her any promises, but slyly entrusted Abby to take him in on his behalf, which basically meant leaving the trouble to the girls themselves.
Abby felt a little dissatisfied and worried when she took in Ashley at first. After all, she looked like a typical prostitute... Ashley noticed that being extra sensitive and delicate is also one of the professional qualities.
Miss, you still look down on people... Don't worry, I'm being favored by you , I'll always do something, at least help you clean the room , don't think I'm in the flesh business, I'm better than you when it comes to housework More insiders.
Ashley not only tidy up the house, but also clean up herself elegantly and refreshingly, which makes Abby impress.
Ashley didn't plan to go to Frankie anymore. "The Dew Couple" was just a show, and she understood this truth better than anyone else.
When Abby came back from her hometown, Ashley stated that she didn't want to go back to CC, but she also didn't want to go back to her hometown of Virginia full of sad memories... Then go to the little sister who has never been there.
The destination is not particularly important, what matters is the determination and courage to leave New York.
Seeing that the woman whose real name is Dorothy Spina really intends to be "good", Abby is also determined to help her - cash my dad's check, and treat it as a friendly support. Travel and living expenses, I don't need this money anyway.
Miss, are you serious? At this moment, Dorothy also changed her mind on Abby. As for whether or not she took the check in the end, it didn't really matter, because they both saw hope in each other (whores can really go ashore and persuade others by themselves). Good guys can really give money away) and find a better version of themselves.
Before parting, Dorothy gave her the tight dress she borrowed from Abby before. The two were not close friends and had a lot of affection. This was a trivial but meaningful parting gift. Of course, this was also Dorothy's gratitude. Abby's kindness and determination to say goodbye to past attitudes.
Abby couldn't stop smiling while holding the clothes, which was the most cheerful and comfortable smile she has ever had since she appeared on the stage.
Dorothy turned her back to the words "Welcome to New York". Back then, she was bullied and fled from her hometown. Looking at these two lines of words, she set foot in New York, a place full of money and money. Now, when she said goodbye, she had already tasted the ups and downs of the world. All kinds of attitudes, wash away the lead, and go to meet the tomorrow of no makeup and no worries.
[The first season of "Legend of the Fallen Street" will end next week, and I'm still waiting for you in the public account "You Love Comment Area"~]
