Rebirth In Hollywood
Chapter 24 Touchstone
After getting out of Kingsley's car, Ryan lowered his baseball cap, glanced around very quickly, and saw that there was nothing unusual, waved to the lady agent in the car, and ran into the campus with his head down.
The boy can't stay at home forever. If he takes too long leave, he really can only repeat the grade. Fortunately, as time goes on, the popularity of the topic about him gradually decreases, and there are countless stars and gossip in Hollywood. , naturally someone will replace him to attract the attention of the media and the public.
"Hi Ryan, long time no see, why do you always have to take long vacations?"
The boy just sat on the chair when Jerry in front and Peter on the other side came over.
"You know, I'm always busy." The boy responded casually, but his face remained hidden in the shadow of the baseball cap.
"Yeah, you are really busy." Jerry tilted his head and said suddenly, "Ryan, can you take off the baseball cap?"
"Hat? What's wrong?" The boy didn't think much, took off his hat and put it on the table.
"Peter!" After Jerry shouted, Peter quickly took out a newspaper from his schoolbag, looked at the picture on the front page, and said with great certainty, "Yes, it's him."
The corners of Ryan's mouth couldn't stop shaking. In his understanding, children of this age would not read newspapers and magazines at all, and he has grown up a lot now, which is somewhat different from his sixth sense. The difference, I didn't expect these two guys to go to the Los Angeles Times.
"Wow, it's true, Ryan, it turns out that you are really the little boy in "The Sixth Sense", so you also wrote Harry Potter? You know that I like this book the most, but You never told me you were the author."
Jerry's shouting didn't matter, he immediately caught the attention of the whole class, he simply snatched the newspaper from Peter's hand, "You don't read newspapers and magazines? You don't read entertainment news? Don't you watch movies? Who is the little boy in Sense? Do you know who is the author of your favorite Ryan Tales and Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone? It's Ryan."
The classroom suddenly turned into a vegetable market. All these boys and girls with excess energy rushed over and scrambled to look at the newspaper from more than half a month ago. Although there were many creases on the newspaper, the picture was not bad. Clearly, who else would it be if it wasn't Ryan.
A lively girl simply grabbed the newspaper, stood on a chair, and read the report crisply, and said to the ten-year-old child that they could understand most of the content. Until then, they Only then did I believe that the authors of the children's books I often read were actually my classmates!
Looking at the guys who were staring at him, Ryan didn't move. He only felt that his face was turning white, his eye circles were turning black, and the pen he was holding seemed to have turned into a green bamboo. Even though he knew that he would be discovered sooner or later, he did not expect that he would be the target of onlookers on the first day of returning to school.
"Ryan, why didn't you tell us?" the girl asked.
Looks like we don't know each other very well? The boy could only roll his eyes, to tell the truth, except for the small group of Jerry and Peter, he only knew the names of others in the class.
"Let me tell you, when my dad and I watched "The Sixth Sense", we always felt that the little boy in it looked familiar. Now that I think about it, isn't that what Ryan looked like last year when he just transferred?" Another boy suddenly realized.
"Oh my God, you're still the screenwriter of the movie! My mom likes this movie so much,
I have watched it four times. She said that the story was so wonderful that she cried every time I watched it, and said that the box office of this movie will soon be 100 million US dollars! "It was another girl." And, Ryan, I want to ask, when is the third episode of Harry Potter coming out? "
Ryan could only helplessly smile, anyway, these people are just curious children, not paparazzi, just when he was about to answer, another person asked, "Ryan, how many big stars have you seen? Now, can you get Tom Cruise's autograph for me?"
"And Ryan, how did you write these stories?"
"Ryan, are you really an orphan?"
"Ryan, is it fun to make a movie? Can you take us to the scene?"
Maybe I should change schools! Ryan had this thought, but after thinking of Nicole, who was getting busier and busier, he automatically extinguished the thought, and immediately shouted, "Stop! Stop!"
The messy classroom finally quieted down, but these children were in the most curious age group, and they didn't mean to leave at all, especially Jerry, after blinking his eyes, he suddenly said, "I understand! I understand No wonder Ryan is writing and drawing every day, it turns out to be writing stories."
"Okay, Jerry, you got it right, but there is no reward." The boy waved his hand vigorously and said to his classmates, "I did create Harry Potter and other works, I didn't see it. I've had a few big stars, the only one I've worked with is Al Pacino, I don't know Tom Cruise well, so I can't ask for autographs for you."
Then, Ryan showed a playful smile, "As for making movies, it's not fun at all. Those movie directors are very bad-tempered. Once you make a mistake, they will reprimand you mercilessly, even if you cry. It will stop, and no one will sympathize with you, because you don't finish your work, and when you shoot at night, you often stay up all night, and if you can't finish shooting, you are not allowed to sleep! Also, when the director makes you laugh, you You have to laugh, when it makes you cry, you have to shed tears immediately, and when it makes you crazy, you have to immediately become a lunatic, so making movies is no fun at all!"
Ryan's nonsense made the other children stunned. In their consciousness, making a movie should be a very interesting thing, but they didn't expect to hear such a terrifying answer now.
"Okay, the class is about to begin, can I discuss any questions during the lunch break?" Under Ryan's intimidation and persuasion, the gang finally disbanded. He was not too worried. This age group Although the children of 2000 are very curious, they often only have three minutes of enthusiasm. After waiting for a longer time, they will naturally turn their attention to other aspects.
"Ryan, what you said can't be true, right?" Jerry leaned over again and said in a low voice, "I won't tell anyone else."
"Of course... it's fake!"
"Also, Ryan, is the third episode of Harry Potter finished? Can we watch it first?" Peter's head also stuck out.
"No." Of course the boy would not admit it.
The bell for the class finally rang, and Ryan finally breathed a sigh of relief. He felt that dealing with these peers was more tiring than dealing with paparazzi, but not long after the class started, he discovered a new situation.
Ms. Sarah, the teacher of the English class, always glanced over from time to time, with curious and inquiring eyes. Even though Ryan was doing his own thing, he was sensitively aware of it.
"Ryan, can you help me a little?" Just before the get out of class ended, Ms. Sarah came over and asked in a low voice.
"Ah? Of course you can." The boy put away the pen, flicked his wrist, and suddenly realized that this was his teacher, "I'm sorry..."
"No apologies, Ryan, I don't think I have anything else to teach him about a kid who writes so well." Ms Sarah smiled, "My daughter loves the Harry Potter series so much, in After watching the second episode, I have been clamoring to watch the third episode, and I want to ask, when will the third episode be published?"
...
Burbank is located in the north of Los Angeles. It is one of the many satellite cities of Los Angeles. Here, it is most famous for its media industry. The headquarters or important departments of many media and entertainment companies such as NBC, Disney, Warner Bros. Here, and therefore, Burbank is also known as the "Media Capital of the World."
At Walt Disney's headquarters, Carter Eisner left his uncle's office and went all the way back to the office floor belonging to Touchstone Pictures, but the pair of frowning eyebrows were never separated, which made him not handsome. That face almost turned into a bitter gourd.
No wonder he is worried. Touchstone Pictures has been established for seven years. Although it is backed by the big mountain of Disney, it has always lacked works with sufficient influence in terms of movies and TV programs, not to mention the seven major film companies. By comparison, even Miramax, after the release of "The Sixth Sense", was almost overwhelmed by them.
At the beginning of this year, Carter became the vice president in charge of the film business of Touchstone Pictures. Although he tried his best to open up the situation, the effect was not obvious, and the voices of doubts about him within the company have never disappeared. Who made him less than 30 this year? years old, who made him Michael Eisner's nephew.
"Carter, Director Chris Columbus is waiting for you in the office." The secretary reminded him when he passed the secretary desk.
"Chris? Oh, yes, he made an appointment to meet me today." Carter Eisner continued. "How long has he been here?"
"More than half an hour."
"Damn, I'm going to hurry, I hope he can bring good news." Carter hurriedly pushed the door and entered the office.
Chris Columbus in a gray suit was sitting on the sofa, drinking coffee and reading a book. He seemed so fascinated that he didn't even notice Carter Eisner coming in.
"Sorry, Chris, I kept you waiting!" Carter had to be the first to say hello.
"It didn't take me long to finish reading a story." Chris Columbus closed the book.
"Okay, Chris." Carter smiled apologetically, "I don't know what you have to do with me today? Are you planning to make a new movie?"
"That's right, Carter," Columbus explained. "I'm looking for a partner. I don't know about Touchstone Pictures..."
He made a gesture that you understand.
"Did you bring a script?"
Although the other party's works are not many, but almost all of them sell well, Carter naturally hopes that he can bring himself a surprise.
"The script isn't there yet." Chris Columbus made another apologetic gesture. "The story is already there."
After speaking, he handed Carter the closed book.
"Ryan Stories?"
