Rebirth In Hollywood

Although it is called traveling around the world, due to their age and other unspeakable scruples, it is impossible for them to really visit the most famous cities in the world, and they can only choose a few cities for a visit .

What's more, Natalie is in high school, and if she wants to enter an Ivy League school, she will definitely have academic pressure.

During the period, her father, Mr. Evner, called her satellite phone several times, asking where Natalie went after the filming ended and why she didn't return to New York, and the two had a quarrel on the phone because of this.

"I'm going to be seventeen soon, I've grown up, I'm not those ignorant girls." When leaving Jerusalem, Natalie once complained to Ryan, "I know my father loves me very much, but he is too conservative He made me obey too many rules, even if I moved out of the house, I still feel like a poor bird with its wings bound."

Shrugging, Ryan didn't say anything, it was definitely a wrong choice to meddle in this kind of family affairs.

A week later, after passing through Rome, Madrid and other cities, Ryan and Natalie came to Paris. This is the last stop of their itinerary and the place where the two will part.

After today, Natalie needs to rush back to New York, and Ryan will go to Cannes for the upcoming Cannes Film Festival.

"Saving Private Ryan" will be the opening film of this year's Cannes Film Festival.

In the previous life, this movie participated in the Venice Film Festival, perhaps because Ryan participated in this movie. Dreamworks put its premiere in Cannes, and it will be the anniversary of the Normandy landing soon. It's the country where Omaha Beach is located, and it couldn't be more fitting.

After all, this is Paris, one of the most paparazzi-active cities in the world. Ryan and Natalie each have their own ideas. It is no longer like the previous journey, where you can go out and hang out unscrupulously.

Besides, the city. Neither he nor Natalie had been here more than once.

at dusk. Wearing large sunglasses and lowering the brim of their hats, the two walked out of the hotel on the banks of the Seine and strolled along the bank together, admiring the glowing river water under the setting sun and the romantic French men and women.

it's here. Everywhere you can see lovers kissing casually, even wilder and more intimate.

"God gave the best piece of land to France, and later felt that it was unfair to other countries, and created the French on this land."

Hear Natalie comment on the Frenchmen she meets on the road. Ryan sighed,

"To put it nicely, the French want to enjoy life. To put it bluntly, the French are too lazy. They do things chaotically and carelessly."

"But they are the most famous liberals in the world." Natalie simply pulled Ryan and sat in an open-air cafe by the Seine River. After ordering two cups of coffee, she continued in a low voice, "Although I also I don't like the French very much. But it cannot be denied that the ideas of liberty, equality and fraternity have entered the soul of this country."

"Freedom? Fraternity?" Ryan picked up his coffee cup, took a sip, and retorted, "You know, Nat. The leisure time enjoyed by the French is the best in the world, but they are still not satisfied. Go on strike. Every September is the time to return to work after the holidays, and it is also the best time to organize a general strike. They have Christmas in winter, spring break in spring, paid vacation in summer, and strikes in autumn. Enjoy traveling all year round Ya."

"This is Paris, Ryan." Natalie deliberately looked at the few tables of guests around, "Be careful that the French will overhear you and throw you into the Seine."

The two are like ordinary couples, occasionally joking with each other, and when the topic tends to be dull, they will find out the mistakes in each other's words, stab each other a few words, talk about the happy place, They also giggle and keep their eyes on each other even when they are silent.

After today, they will be separated temporarily, and it may not take long to wait for the next goodbye.

"Na... Nat?"

A brown-haired girl walked into the cafe. She was a little uncertain at first, but she smiled happily after walking over, "Nate, it's really you! Why did you come to Paris?"

"Mira." The embarrassment on Natalie's face was fleeting, she stood up and greeted quickly, "Mira, please sit down."

After the other party sat down, Ryan glanced at her calmly. This is a girl about fifteen or sixteen years old. Although she is a little different from her grown-up, the name called by Natalie and the girl from Long Island are not bad. In his affectionate attitude, he roughly thought of who the other party was.

"Nate, is this your boyfriend?" She looked at Ryan curiously, and immediately recognized who it was, "You're Ryan! Hello, Ryan, I'm Mila, Mila Kunis , Last year, we met in New York, the rehearsal theater of "Anne's Diary."

"Hi, nice to see you again, Mira."

After saying hello, Ryan summoned the waiter and ordered coffee for him, "I heard Nat talk about you, you came to Paris by yourself?"

"Ah, no, I came to Paris with my mother. I didn't expect to meet you and Nat here."

As she said that, she showed the abnormal gossip expression of a little girl, "Are you two dating?"

"Mila!"

Before Ryan could speak, Natalie retorted, "We're just friends, and we're here to relax after filming."

"Ah..." Mila Kunis protracted the end, and looked at Natalie with teasing eyes, "It's just a friend, I understand."

"You can do whatever you want." With Natalie's personality, she naturally wouldn't get entangled in this aspect.

Ryan didn't speak, and watched the two girls talking and laughing quietly. From Natalie's expression and words, he could tell that the two should be regarded as good friends, even if they couldn't reach Natalie's The relationship between her and Scarlett is much more intimate than those of her friends at school.

He vaguely remembered that the relationship between Natalie and Mila Kunis had always been good because of their co-starring in "The Diary of Anne Frank". Later, he even got to know Macaulay, who was in deep trouble, through her. Calkin and the other party became close friends.

"So you're going back to New York tomorrow? Is your ticket booked? How about we go together?" It was Mila Kunis who spoke.

"this……"

Natalie pointed to Ryan, "I'm on his private jet."

"That's great!" Mila Kunis' excited voice attracted curious eyes from many people around her. She stuck out her tongue and quickly lowered her voice, "I've never been on a private jet before. We How about together, Nat?"

Immediately afterwards, she seemed to wake up to something, and said embarrassingly, "Forget it, I don't want to..."

"Of course." Ryan took the words and said with a smile, "I'm going to Cannes, and I'm worried that Nat will be bored when she goes back to New York alone."

Cannes Film Festival, founded in 1939, is one of the top international film festivals in the world. Together with Venice International Film Festival and Berlin International Film Festival, it has become one of the three major international film festivals in Europe. The highest award is the 'Palme d'Or'. This year The opening time is set for May 13th local time.

After entering the 1990s, European films were greatly impacted by Hollywood films, and the market almost completely fell. are decaying.

The organizers of the three major film festivals have naturally noticed this and are making corresponding changes. The Cannes Film Festival, which is more inclined towards commercialization, is undoubtedly the most obvious one.

They not only accepted Spielberg's film into competition, but also listed it as the opening film, which shows their intentions.

You know, Steven Spielberg is not very popular in the European film industry.

In fact, no matter how stupid people are, they also understand that if a movie loses its business, it will only lead to death.

"Ryan, long time no see."

Walking into the hotel and just entering the guest room prepared by the organizer, Ryan ushered in Spielberg.

"Stephen." Ryan quickly gave the old man to the sofa in the living room, "I just arrived, and I'm going to say hello to you and Tom later."

"Tom and Lina went to the Esplanade." Spielberg talked about the business, "I heard that Jeff said that Pat pushed the dubbing of "Prince of Egypt" for you?"

"I don't think it's hard to find a dubbing candidate." Ryan made an apologetic gesture, "I sent someone to the animation studio for the theme song."

The theme song is of course "", what other song is closer to the theme of "Prince of Egypt" than this song.

"I've heard Mariah Kelly's audition, it's very good, and it fits the theme of the movie."

Spielberg didn't say anything more. Although Ryan broke the appointment, the song was provided for free, which obviously meant compensation.

"Is the post-production of Jurassic Park 2 done?" Ryan changed the subject.

"There are only titles and subtitles left. Kate is supervising the production, and it will be completed in the next few days."

In this summer, the film market will usher in many major productions related to Ryan. The first is "Saving Private Ryan".

There is also "Jurassic Park 2". In this era when cg is gradually rampant, this movie will definitely not be as amazing as the first one, but it is definitely a sharp weapon for attracting money.

And then there is Michael Bay's "Heavenly Tribulation", a sci-fi movie mixed with many entertainment elements, which will be released in the last month of the summer vacation.

The two chatted about other film matters, and Spielberg offered to leave.

"Ryan, don't forget about the premiere tomorrow. If you don't attend, the reporters in France will definitely rush into the hotel."

"I won't let them do that."

Seeing that Spielberg rarely made a joke, Ryan also responded with a smile.

In fact, when he arrived in Cannes and entered the hotel, he was bombarded by reporters and paparazzi. I don’t know if it was a deliberate arrangement by the organizer. At that time, the car was parked a little far away from the hotel. It took a lot of strength to rush in under the support of George and others. ()
