Rebirth In Hollywood

Chapter 351: A Volleyball

After confirming the director, Jenkins Films began to look for suitable personnel and set up a crew. This series has its own particularity. The main cast and crew in the future are very likely to live in London for a long time. Therefore, in addition to Chris Columbus' team, Preference will be given to British nationals.

Ryan specially recruited Michael Barnathan from Warner Bros. as another producer to assist Chris Columbus in handling chores for the crew.

In addition, Jenkins Films has already contacted the British media affiliated to News Corporation, and they will send out advertisements for audition actors after the New Year. With the hype ability of these guys, the selection of actors for Harry Potter will definitely become the most exciting event in the lives of British people next year. concern.

There is no rush for these, Ryan plans to spend more than half a year next year to complete the audition for actors, even for the Harry Potter series, because of his relationship, his reputation in the world, especially in the Western world, far exceeds that of his previous life, hype Propaganda remains essential.

The focus at this stage is naturally "The Rest of a Deserted Island". After the trailer was released, this movie has become the most eye-catching focus of the Christmas file. Who made it the screenwriter and starring Ryan?

In particular, the character in the trailer is completely different from the past. Many media believe that this will be Ryan's breakthrough in his inherent acting skills and transformation.

Although there are many movies released this year, and they have achieved huge profits at the box office and derivative products, in fact, the scale of Jenkins Films has not expanded much, and the increase in staff has been extremely limited. Floor, still spacious and empty.

Probably inspired by the Pixar studio, Julius Stewart and Mario Casa transformed the huge unused warehouse on the first floor into a staff playground, which not only has a small pastry shop and coffee shop, but also specially An exhibition area for the films produced by the company was established to place those commemorative posters and props.

After finishing work, Ryan did not find Natalie and the others in the editing room. After a brief question, I found them. Three girls were sitting on rattan tables and chairs, tasting Black Forest cakes, and pointing fingers at the exhibition area in front of them.

"Did you see that necklace? It's the famous 'Heart of the Ocean'."

Playing with Kristen Stewart here since he was a child, Taylor is very familiar with Jenkins Films, "Unfortunately, such a beautiful necklace is actually a bearded James. It was synthesized by chemical means."

"And that drawing." Scarlett Johansson showed a weird smile to Natalie, "That's the sketch that Ryan drew for Ruth..."

"Dear Scarlett, that was drawn by James Cameron on the bikini photo of Miss Winslet." Ryan hugged Taylor,

Regardless of the little guy's objections, he put her on the other side, and then sat beside Natalie, "Scarlett, if you speak ill of people behind your back, your nose will grow longer."

"I didn't say anything." Scarlett stuck out her tongue playfully.

Out of sight of several people. Miss Taylor Swift touched her nose subconsciously, as if she was worried about the sudden lengthening.

"Want something to eat? I'll get it for you." Natalie stood up.

"Just like you."

After Natalie left, Ryan directly took Taylor's unopened juice and poured himself a full glass. In exchange, the little girl muttered dissatisfiedly, "When did Ryan become a thief?"

After Ryan rubbed her curly hair habitually, Natalie asked with concern while holding a black forest cake in front of him. "You're on a diet, is it okay to eat these?"

"It won't hurt if you taste it a little bit." Ryan took a small sip, and the taste was very similar to that in Pixar's restaurant. It seems that the pastry chef here has specially studied there, "The taste is very good."

"It's better than what you and Nat made." Taylor wiped the corner of his mouth and asked curiously, "Isn't the filming of "The Rest of a Deserted Island" finished? Why did you start dieting again?"

"Because his next role is a pianist who has been in a state of starvation for a long time, and may even starve to death at any time." Natalie pulled Taylor to her side, and carefully wiped off the remaining food crumbs for her, "wait until next year When he comes back from Europe, maybe he will be blown to Nevada by the California sea breeze."

"Poor Ryan." Taylor showed sympathy and looked at Scarlett. "Honey, you should learn more from Ryan."

"Shut up, Alison!" Scarlett gave her a pair of white eyes directly.

"Alright alright."

Taylor jumped back to his seat, rarely retorted, but sighed, "It seems that being an actor is very painful, I'll just obediently be a singer in the future."

"Honey, what have you been doing lately? It's been a long time since you came to see me on set." Natalie looked at the little guy curiously. When she came to Los Angeles before, the other party would come to the set almost every other day, but this time Her visits to the class were noticeably less.

"I'm practicing." Taylor said very seriously, "Smartness is a talent, not a privilege, so I have to work hard!"

Several people showed encouraging smiles at the same time, and Ryan could feel that after returning from London, although Taylor was still very mischievous, he restrained himself a lot more than before, and the number of times he came out to play was significantly reduced.

Maybe it's because she's getting older and sensible, or maybe the conversation in London last time played a role. She has indeed worked harder than before.

"Wait, Nat." Taylor jumped off the seat and ran to the exhibition area, "I'll show you something interesting."

The little girl turned a corner and got behind a support pillar, and ran back after a while, with a volleyball and a poster in her hand.

After Scarlett simply cleared the table, Taylor put the volleyball and the poster on it, "This is Ryan's only companion on the desert island, and there is also a poster, you should have seen it, my dear brother Ryan, change Uncle Ryan."

"Still a weird uncle." Scarlett Johansson covered her mouth and snickered, "I hope your fans won't be sad because of it."

"I believe they will adapt quickly." Ryan grabbed the volleyball and looked at the red face made with his hands as props. "I can't always play the roles of Frank Jr. and Jack Dawson." .”

"It's a very wise choice." Natalie's eyes clearly indicated that you were finally on the right path.

"This is the change that must be made to win the Oscar for Best Actor." Ryan's words made Natalie roll her eyes unconsciously, pursed her lips and said, "Well, Ryan, in your eyes, Art is always about money and individuals, right?"

"Stop, Nat!" Ryan directly handed the volleyball "Wilson" to Natalie, "If we really want to debate, we will have no results until today next year."

"Okay." Natalie shrugged, and gestured on Volleyball's red face with her little hand, "Is this the original prop?"

"Hmm~"

Without waiting for Ryan to answer, Taylor nodded and explained to Natalie the gossip she heard, "'Wilson's face is made of red dye on Ryan's palm, this is the original prop, It is said that Wilson Company paid three million U.S. dollars for the copyright of the volleyball, and it will be released after the movie is released."

"Honey, maybe I should choose you to take charge of this company." Ryan rubbed his forehead. This little guy cares too much. "Where did you get this information from?"

"I won't tell you." Taylor wrinkled his nose, and moved closer to Natalie, "I'll tell you a secret, Nat, before the release of "Cast Away", half of the cost was recovered."

When it comes to making money from movies, Natalie knows that there are few people in Hollywood who can compare to her boyfriend.

"Will Nicole be back when it premieres?"

Shortly after the incident in North Hollywood in 1997, Natalie confirmed that Nicole Kidman had developed a dislike for her. Because of Ryan's affection, she couldn't say anything, so she simply reduced the number of meetings between the two parties as much as possible. so as not to cause unhappiness.

In her opinion, Ryan is already married, and the possibility of intersection with him in the future will be infinitely reduced.

"No." Ryan shook his head, ""The Matrix" is about to close, Nicole has no time, and she will spend Christmas with Annie in Sydney."

"Annie?"

"Nicole's sister." Taylor explained first.

The four chatted for a while, and were about to leave the company and return to Beverly Hills. When Taylor returned the volleyball and the poster, he asked eagerly, "Ryan, can I take Mr. Wilson?"

"When I go out, I'll ask someone to bring one to you."

Hearing Ryan's words, the little girl was not happy, but followed him with her head drooping, murmuring not knowing what she was talking about.

"What's the matter, Taylor?" Natalie walked over, took the little girl's hand and asked, "What... are you calculating?"

"I'm trying to figure out how much pocket money I have left."

"Pocket money?"

"Yeah, Nat." The little guy wrinkled his nose, "I heard from Aunt Julius that the original version of Mr. Wells will be sent to a charity auction after the New Year. This is a unique volleyball, I think Buy it."

Hearing what she said, Ryan and Natalie laughed. Taylor really restrained a lot. If it was changed to before, he would definitely hug her and leave. How could there be such a performance.

This kind of performance is also specially for Ryan and Natalie. Ryan took her other hand, "I promise, my dear, Mr. 'Wilson' will be your New Year's gift."

"The Rest of a Deserted Island" will be released soon. As in the past, Ryan has handed over the work of publicity to the professionals of Jenkins Films, and his management team and public relations team have become active again. , can see their shadows.

In addition, Ryan also personally invited a large number of film academy members to attend the premiere of the film. (to be continued..) ()
