Rebirth In Hollywood

Since I came to the famous metropolis of London, it is inevitable to visit it. Big Ben, the Thames, Victoria Tower, and the Palace of Westminster have all left the footprints of Ryan and Nicole.

However, what the boy wanted to go to was another place. Nicole finally took him to Kings Cross train station under his hardship.

This is the most famous train station in the previous life, the starting point of the magical journey of the magical little wizard.

That's right, the increasingly unscrupulous boy has set his next goal on Harry Potter. Originally, this series was not in his plan. This kind of novel full of British style, if not in the United Kingdom The experience of living is difficult to write, and he does not want to cause trouble in the future.

Who would have thought that plans would never keep up with the rapid changes. Not only did he meet Nicole Kidman, who had a very different fate, but he also followed her to London, where he would live for the next two years. The industrial chain that has created tens of billions of dollars in value is included in the bag, and I am so sorry for his encounter with Nicole on the Avenue of Stars.

As for whether the future Aunt Rowling will commit suicide because of hunger and cold, that is not in his consideration. After all, she is not Nicole Kidman, she has no kindness to him, and has nothing to do with him.

Besides, what does the British guy have to do with his life or death!

In the following more than a year, Nicole devoted herself to the stage play. Ryan went to the scene to watch it several times and found that Nicole Kidman's acting skills were far better than when she entered Hollywood in her previous life.

As for himself, life is boring and uninteresting, and the time in class is dedicated to the pen, exercising after school, and learning all kinds of knowledge that will be of great help to him in the future.

In order to get rid of the bad habits developed in the orphanage by the two generations before and after, he also asked Nicole to invite a strict English etiquette teacher, who trained for a whole year in his spare time, and the etiquette has formed a certain degree. Habit.

As long as he wants to, he is a standard little gentleman.

He has written and revised the first three Harry Potter books. After entering 1988, "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" was officially published and marketed. Like the previous life, it did not cause a sensation.

In addition, he also wrote a number of short and medium stories, some original and some plagiarized, the publishing house simply put them together with the previously published short and medium stories, and prepared to publish a "Ryan Story Collection".

In the early winter season, London began to have continuous rainy weather. Ryan did not see the sun for half a month. Because he beat up a few black boys who were looking for him in school, Nicole was continuously invited by the principal, so he , he was tragically grounded.

Sitting in the room, turning the colored pencils, suddenly the voice of Nicole arguing with a man came from downstairs. Ryan simply put down the sketch at hand and quietly walked out of the door.

"Why do you want to terminate the contract? Also, why do you want to turn down the invitation of the Royal Shakespeare Company, which is a troupe supported by the royal family." The man's attitude was very poor and he was questioning Nicole.

The man Ryan knew, Nicole's agent... No, it should be the former agent. He heard Nicole say that the contract between the two parties has expired, and she is not going to renew it with him.

"I've been acting on stage for more than a year, I don't want to continue, I want to go back to the big screen." Nicole explained calmly.

"Back to the big screen?" A mocking smile appeared on the corner of the man's mouth.

"That's it, Mr. Henry, don't forget, our contract has expired." With Nicole's cold and arrogant character,

Of course, he wouldn't give him a good face, so he just opened his mouth to see off the guest.

"Ha..." The man laughed sarcastically, "I know, you've always wanted to go to Hollywood, but you're too naive, you really think there are opportunities everywhere, ah... Maybe you can exchange your beauty for... "

"Whoosh~"

A colored pencil flew down the stairs.

"Oops~"

The man covered his forehead and let out a scream.

With a gloomy face, Ryan ran down the stairs and said sharply, "Next time you're rude to the lady, it's not a pencil, but a lead."

"Hey! You kid!" The man rubbed his forehead and stood up, looking like he wanted to do something.

Nicole hurriedly stood in front of Ryan, she would not let anyone hurt her most important person no matter what, "Henry, please leave, or I will call the police."

As the saying goes, it's good to get together and good to go, but this man's character is really not very good. Ryan remembers it very clearly. There were times if Nicole was not smart enough, maybe he would have been sold by him.

"Honey, you're being reckless." Nicole took the boy into her arms when they were alone in the living room.

"Nicole, do you want to go to Hollywood now?"

"That's my dream." Nicole whispered, rubbing the boy's head, "I'm telling you a kid what to do, by the way, Ryan, I'm going back to Australia in the near future, you are here No trouble in London."

"Back to Australia?" The boy wondered.

"A crew sent me an invitation, um... "Across the Horizon"!"

Hollywood! Back in the room, Ryan rewrote the line on the sketch.

Having experienced the explosion of information in his previous life, he knew very well that the glamorous circle was not as beautiful as it seemed on the surface, and it was a circle where male domination prevailed. Nicole was helpless there and wanted to gain weight. The role of the high-level is very difficult, do you want her to fall into the arms of Tom Cruise again? He absolutely won't allow this to happen.

All right! For our common dream, I should be officially ready!

When Nicole returned to Australia, Ryan simply asked the nanny to pretend to be Nicole and called to ask for a long vacation from school. The next thing to do is very, very important to their future.

All along, Ryan has written all novels, and now he is going to start preparing the script. Because of his occupation in his previous life, he has seen many movie scripts, and he knows how to write some scripts.

It's just that he hates little books when they are used up. Although he is amazingly talented, he is not arrogant enough to know everything. He starts to run to bookstores and libraries frequently, and gets back a lot of books about scripts and movies.

The most important thing is to find a suitable movie, a movie that he and Nicole can star in at the same time, to commemorate this special friendship between the two!

Movies are deeply influenced by the social environment, pulling some classic movies from the previous life to the present, the biggest possibility is the encounter with Waterloo. Among all movie types, the least restricted by the times are undoubtedly horror thrillers and sci-fi movies that are out of reality. .

Science fiction films are still exempted, he doesn't care, but Nicole is already pretty and a little coquettish. Entering Hollywood with this type of film will definitely become a vase.

In fact, Ryan chose a thriller "The Sixth Sense". This is a classic movie released in 1999 in the previous life. It has a good box office and word of mouth, and also won several Oscar nominations. In particular, the movie blurs the background of the times. , reflecting one of the mainstream values ​​since the 1980s - family, affection and communication.

Moreover, the structure of the film is peculiar, and it plays a big trick at the beginning and end. This kind of idea has been worn out after entering the new century, but it is a completely new idea in this era.

In addition, the relationship between the little boy and the single mother in it is like the relationship between him and Nicole who is also a sister and a mother, and it is easier for the two to take their place in it.

It is not an easy task for a novice to convert the pictures in his mind into the words on the script. He changed his drafts a few times, and even the Harry Potter things were thrown aside. Fortunately, he was here. I's talent is indeed excellent, at least in writing scripts, no worse than that fat guy who sells videotapes.

"Scene 1, Time/Night. Environment/Dimly lit basement.

Anna walked down the stairs, came to the wine rack, and picked out a bottle of red wine..."

The boy flipped through the script for three months, and finally came up with the first draft. He believed that there were not many problems in the description of the scenes and characters, but there were many flaws in the division of shots.

That's all for now. He sighed. In the past three months, Nicole has come back several times, but he didn't find that he wrote the script. Ryan didn't plan to tell her. We'll talk about it when we return to Los Angeles. .

Although there is a script, the problem is still very serious. He is not naive enough to think that if the script is mailed to the film company, the other party will rush over and hug his thigh. It is just an illusion.

What is the basis of a movie, many people must choose the script, but except for a few gold screenwriters standing at the top, the status of ordinary screenwriters in this industry is far beyond imagination.

As recently as 1988, there was a writers' strike in Hollywood, and the pay was improved, but Ryan knew that in a few years, they would be knocked out of the dust again.

As we all know, it is extremely difficult for a newcomer to get ahead in Hollywood, especially for a newcomer as a screenwriter. If there is no relationship, there is no middleman, and you want to get the film company to invest in your script...

Obviously, Ryan belongs to this type of person. However, he also has a strategy to deal with, that is, the script sea tactics. With the experience of writing once, he will be much faster when he starts writing again. If a script is cast, there is no response. , then cast the second, third, or even eight ten.

Moreover, he still has a heavyweight stepping stone in his hand - "Jurassic Park"!

You must know that this book has been on the top bestseller list in the United States for more than 30 weeks since it reached the top of the US bestseller list in 1987. If he, a teenage author, stands in the foreground, the repercussions it will cause can be imagined.

Since he chose to use the script as a pathfinder, he naturally didn't want to be just an ordinary screenwriter. In any profession in Hollywood, when you stand at the top, you will become a powerful figure in this circle.

Ryan was not satisfied with this. While constantly revising the script of "The Sixth Sense", he also wrote out the outlines and settings of some classic movies in his memory. This is to prevent forgetting, although those pictures have been engraved in the past few years. It's the same in his mind, but it's always right to be prepared.

In the early summer of 1989, when Ryan wanted to copy more than ten copies of the script and mail them to major Hollywood studios, Nicole Kidman, who had been busy in Australia for "Sail Over the Horizon", returned to London. At the same time, Also brought her new agent.

A woman who surprised Ryan!
