Rebirth In Hollywood

The bright sun shrouded the tall buildings, the straight roads were mottled with light and dark, and the vehicles came and went galloping past, just like the rhythm of life in New York. In the early spring of Long Island, the temperature rose rapidly, and the road The plants on the edge were rejuvenated.

The Land Rover off-road vehicle rolled over the light spot on the road and turned towards the door of Long Island Middle School. With the sound of 'creaking' brakes, the passenger's door opened, and a tall young man jumped out of it.

The black lace-up high-top leather boots landed on the ground first. His legs were slender and straight like marble pillars, and his slightly thin but tall body was wearing a high-neck beige sweater, and two artist-like hands. Pulling down the gray short coat with lapel, he seemed a little afraid of the little coldness left in the air.

Taking out the latest mobile phone, the young man dialed a number, put it in his ear, and at the same time looked up at the sun.

The bright sunlight fell on his head, the light brown short and medium hair reflected a little golden light, and the face with a high nose and deep eyes was like Michelangelo's own carving, a perfect fusion of toughness and softness, with a smile on the corners of his mouth. People can't stop feeling good, but they can feel unique pride and self-confidence.

Especially those lazy eyes, like the clear sky after the rain, shining brightly with perseverance and wisdom.

"Ryan!"

Before the phone was connected, the girl's shout rang out from the school gate. When he playfully put his index finger to his mouth, he was greeted by a pair of rolled-up white eyes.

The girl opposite has grown a lot taller, but she is still so thin, her curly brown hair is tied into a simple ponytail, and she swayed with her footsteps, and on the face that was gradually growing, there was an extremely splendid hanging on her face. smile.

At the moment of seeing Ryan, the pair of brown eyes showed unconcealed joy, and the frequency under his feet continued to accelerate, almost rushing over.

"Nate, long time no see."

As always. The two opened their arms tacitly and hugged gently. Ryan patted the girl's back and pulled her ponytail playfully.

"Are you finally willing to go back to America?"

Although the words were as thorny as before, Natalie kissed Ryan's chin with her forehead after the hug.

"You can't hide on an Australian farm forever, can you?"

Natalie knew that after the SAT test last year, Ryan went to the Australian Kidman family's farm for a holiday.

He is indeed a bit clever, and the media across the United States are looking for him. Who would have thought he was hiding in the Australian countryside.

"How tall are you?"

After the two separated. Natalie looked up at Ryan. Can not help but wrinkled his nose.

"Six feet."

In fact, Ryan said a little less, he would look like 184 cm in metric system.

"It has become the 'hemp pole' of the past!"

Hearing Natalie's words, Ryan could only smile helplessly, he was indeed a lot taller than Natalie who was five feet four inches.

"Get in the car. Otherwise, you will be surrounded by people!"

Ryan noticed that many people were paying attention, and Natalie should be a celebrity in the school.

"Hi George, long time no see."

Getting into the car, Natalie beckoned to the driver's seat, George put on sunglasses and smiled coolly, "Hello. Nat."

"Ryan! Where are we going."

It's probably been a long time since we saw each other. Natalie was obviously very happy. When Ryan closed the car door and sat next to her, he couldn't help but bump his forehead against his thick shoulder. "My billionaire, shouldn't you be in for a treat?"

"Then what do you want to eat?" Ryan gave George a driving gesture.

"Sea snails, Yubari honeydew melon, matsutake mushrooms, golden caviar!" Natalie laughed, and Ryan knew she was joking, and said deliberately, "Really? Then I'll call someone to go. order."

"Come on, Ryan." Natalie rolled her eyes and nudged him. "What are you doing in New York?"

"Did you make a special trip to see you, Nat?"

As soon as Ryan finished speaking, Natalie snorted, "Will you make a special trip to see me?"

"Of course, make a special trip to see Nat and do something else by the way." Ryan said honestly.

"Is it the other way around?" Natalie said with a thorn in her voice. "You stayed in Australia for so long, why didn't you remember to come back to see me?"

Scratching his face, Ryan closed his mouth. We haven't seen each other for a long time. We should save the quarrel for later.

"George, take the time to meet Garcia, tell him he's doing well, and..."

Ryan glanced at Natalie who was looking out of the car window, and said vaguely, "How to reward, you understand."

"Well, I see." George nodded at the rearview mirror.

"Is there any secret you can't let me know?" Natalie leaned over and shrugged, "Forget it, I don't want to know."

In the chic restaurant, the music was melodious and soothing. Ryan and Natalie were sitting opposite each other, waving the knife and fork in their hands from time to time, bringing the exquisite meal into the mouth. This is just a very ordinary lunch, but The carefully prepared dishes in the restaurant still made the two index fingers move.

"This restaurant is not bad, Nate." Ryan swallowed the food in his mouth. "This is what I finally found out."

"It's okay." Natalie nodded. She didn't ask much for food. "The taste of broccoli and mushrooms is very unique."

"Because it has been treated with seafood soup."

Ryan explained casually, and found that Natalie suddenly glared at him, and couldn't help asking, "Did I say something wrong?"

"Ryan~"

Natalie tilted her neck, put the knife and fork on the plate, and looked over, "You were the one who seduced me!"

"Temptation?" Ryan twitched the corners of his mouth, as if he had never done anything excessive?

"Isn't it?" Natalie had begun to grind her teeth and tapped her head lightly, "I was ten or eleven at that time? It seems to be in the western restaurant of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel. He lied to me to eat barbecue..."

"Come on, Nat!" Ryan understood and waved his hand, "You can grow so tall now because you started eating meat. If I hadn't helped you, you would definitely not be five feet four now. inch!"

"Do you think you can fool me now, Ryan?" Natalie leaned forward slightly, as if to show a sense of oppression. "I'm not the ignorant little girl I used to be. I've grown up. Stop fooling me with these outrageous words. I'm not as stupid as you think!"

"Nate, we haven't seen each other for half a year, do we quarrel if we have to meet?" Ryan put down his knife and fork, folded his arms around his chest, and put on a warlike appearance, ready to educate the rebellious girl in words.

"I'm too lazy to care about you!" Natalie picked up the knife and fork and cut a large piece of steak in a vent. into the mouth. Eat with relish.

"By the way. Has your driver's license been tested yet?" At sixteen, she was already able to get a probationary driver's license. Natalie only asked this now, "I'm still waiting for you to take me for a ride."

"No." Ryan spread his hands helplessly. "I practiced in Australia for a long time. But I don't have time to take the exam recently."

"What are you busy with?"

"Stay in New York for a few days, then visit Scotland, where Nicole is filming, this is her first time as a producer, I must go check it out, my new film is about to start shooting, I'm going back to Los Angeles Meet Stephen, and I'm going to apply to the USC Film School." Ryan gave a general overview of his itinerary.

"Nicole is a producer?" Natalie blinked, the complexity on her face fleeting. "Oh, I remember, it seems like Scarlett was on that set."

"Scarlett? Your little friend?" Ryan thought for a while and understood who Natalie was talking about. "She seems to be Nicole's daughter."

"What about your new play? Could it be the story of the liar mentioned in the letter?" Natalie changed the subject.

"Yeah. It's "Come and Catch Me", dear Nate, would you like to go to Los Angeles with me?" Ryan laughed happily, "I found an Oscar best director for the filming, and I found it. An Oscar winner with me!"

"What about the Titanic? You haven't decided whether to star in it?" Natalie knew a lot of things.

"I have to wait until the filming of this movie is finished, and I can make a decision after talking with James." Ryan remembered the big ship that had been prepared for two years, and sighed, "It will take time for the preliminary preparations, and the film will not start shooting until summer at the earliest. ."

The most troublesome thing about the Titanic is not the shooting, but the huge preparations and complex post-production effects. Needless to say, the former James Cameron has almost become a Mexican citizen in the past two years, and the latter started last year. Experimental work on models, stunts, cg, etc.

"What about you, Nat, when will 'Everybody Say I Love You' filming?"

Although this is a Woody Allen movie, Ryan is not worried. The investors and production manager are all from Miramax, and he has already greeted him.

"It's just these few days, so..." Natalie stuck out her tongue playfully, "I can't go to Los Angeles with you."

"Come on, Nate, you didn't even think about it."

Ryan's cell phone rang, but it was Scott Swift.

"Ryan, all the formalities have been completed, just waiting for your signature."

"Great."

Even as calm as Ryan, there was an undisguised look of joy on his face at this time, "It's beautiful, Scott!"

"It should be, isn't it?"

"Okay, what time? Um... ok, no problem."

When Ryan hung up the phone, Natalie couldn't help but be a little curious. She knew that as Ryan got older, he had less and less escape and more and more calm. What would make him so happy?

"What happened, Ryan?"

"Nate, do you want to be a superhero? Invisible Girl, Black Widow, Peggy Carter, you choose." Ryan smiled brilliantly, and the person sitting opposite was not an outsider, so he didn't need to cover up too much, "If you are not satisfied, , allowing the comics company to recreate a female superhero based on your image."

"Forget it, Ryan." Natalie's face darkened, and she asked again, "You bought a comic book company?"

"That's right! Dear Nat, I'm the boss of surprise."
