Rebirth In Hollywood

When the sun was about to sink into the horizon, the four horses ran from the farm all the way back to the manor with the roar of the motor of the off-road pickup. The excited barking of the hounds and the faint smell of blood showed that the group had achieved a lot.

Reining in the reins, Ryan turned over and dismounted, and like Nicole and the others, handed the horse over to the staff who took care of the stables.

"Tommy, you came back really early." He waved to the three Tom Hanks who came over.

"Hey, Leon!" Taylor took off his cowboy hat and shouted to Leonardo, who had changed into casual clothes. "How many prey did you hit?"

"Dear..." Leonardo looked at the pickup truck that drove in later, and raised three fingers, "One deer, two hares."

"So, you're going to lose," he said with a smile.

"It doesn't matter if you lose." Taylor rolled his eyes and walked towards the parked pickup truck. "I didn't promise you what to do after losing."

"Uh..." Leonardo was stunned for a while, realizing that it seemed to be the case, he couldn't help but patted his forehead and followed, "Taylor, you've grown up, you can't be a little rascal anymore."

"The problem is that I won't lose!" Tyler turned his head and glanced at him, hugged Nicole's arm as he passed by, stretched out a small white and tender hand, and turned back and forth, "I didn't hit a deer. , but Gru they caught ten hares."

The farm staff have opened the cargo compartment of the pickup truck and pulled out the harvest of Ryan and his party, three deer and more than ten hares.

"See, Leon." Tyler took Nicole's arm and stood a dozen feet away from the pickup. "You lost."

"You are comparing quantity." Drew Barrymore who came over deliberately reminded.

"Okay." Leonardo spread his hands helplessly and looked at Ryan, "You didn't help?"

"Of course not." Ryan was telling the staff to deal with the prey as soon as possible, and at the same time called everyone to hold a bonfire party at night, after hearing Leonardo's words. He turned his head and said, "With my righteous and kind person as a guarantee, you'd better admit defeat, Leon."

Several people laughed, and the crisp voice drifted far away in the wind.

The darkness engulfed the light, and the clear night sky was dotted with stars. Below the stars, dozens of bonfires were burning on the square in front of the manor, reflecting half of the sky red.

Several large grills and makeshift stoves were erected around the edges of the campfire.

Chefs specially hired from Brisbane used the game harvested in the afternoon to cook fragrant food, such as roast meat, stewed venison with potatoes, and hare soup, which were delivered to everyone one after another.

Small barbecue grills are also set up by each bonfire, so those who prefer to do it themselves can also show off their cooking skills.

"Australia is vast and sparsely populated, with no large predators."

After taking the kebab from Nicole, Ryan took a bite, the taste was as tempting as when he was a child. After everyone toasted and drank together, they continued the topic just now, "The proliferation of wild animals with strong fertility is the most troublesome problem for many farms."

"Australia's hare plague is famous all over the world." Tom Hanks took the dry-fried venison from Taylor. Saying thank you, "I didn't expect that in recent years, the size of the wild deer herd has also expanded rapidly."

"Is there no good solution?" Drew asked, putting down the beer can.

"Yes..." Turning around the bonfire. Taylor, who was serving as a temporary waiter, said first, "We can poison them all to death..."

Just when everyone subconsciously covered their foreheads. The girl said in a playful manner, "But the Queensland government does not allow it. Hunting is allowed, but any measures that disrupt the ecological balance are not allowed."

"We've been working hard to control their numbers." Ryan looked at Tyler, the girl stuck out her tongue mischievously, jumped over and sat beside Nicole, he shook his head and said, "But the farm is too big, and the There are forests and moorland protected by the state government, and the effect is not so obvious.”

"It's better than this." Leonardo suddenly gave a very unreliable suggestion, "Let the entire farm be deserted and become a real hunting ground."

"Leon..." Nicole wiped her hands and raised an eyebrow at him, "This is a farm for vacation and leisure!"

"Just a suggestion." Leonardo smiled and shrugged.

Several people were talking and laughing. After they were far away from the Hollywood Vanity Fair, they all relaxed a lot. Even Leonardo, who had just broken up with Gisele Bundchen, was in a wine fight with Drew Barrymore. Depression was all thrown to the back of my mind.

"Not yet congratulations, Tommy."

Touching Tom Hanks' beer can, Ryan asked, "Should 'My Big Greek Wedding' end its overseas screenings?"

"It's basically down." Tom Hanks took a swig of beer. "Overseas screenings are not as good as in North America, with about $120 million at the box office."

"That adds up to $360 million."

Ryan didn't remember the movie at all. After all, he was just a person with a better brain, not a computer with a huge amount of storage. "The production cost of the movie was only 50 million US dollars."

"Don't forget, there is still a cost of $50 million to announce." Tom Hanks said while pinching his chin.

Today's movies, the cost of publicity and distribution is getting higher and higher, and it is almost impossible for a movie to expect to achieve huge profits at the box office as it did more than ten years ago.

"Ryan, are you interested in working together again?" Tom Hanks suddenly raised another topic, "My film company bought the film copyright of The Da Vinci Code."

"Tommy..." Ryan shook his head without even thinking, "This subject is not suitable for me."

"Look at me, I drank too much." Tom Hanks just remembered and patted his forehead, "I'm sorry."

"It's okay." Ryan just smiled, "Our cooperation last time was very pleasant. If there is a chance, we can wait for the next time."

For the previous collaboration of "Band of Brothers", Ryan has recovered 30 million US dollars of investment so far, and the income from the later re-screening copyright and DVD video tapes will gradually generate enough profits.

Although the response was good, the investment in this mini-series was too large. Except for the copyright, there were no other peripheral profit points. After more than two years of launch, it has just earned back the total investment of more than 200 million US dollars.

Nicole had been whispering to Tyler, and they were giggling with their mouths covered when Ryan turned his head.

"Anything to be happy about." Ryan leaned over, "Can you share it?"

"This is a topic among women!" Nicole shook her head and gave him a slight push, "You are not fit to know."

"Yeah, we won't tell you." Tyler wrinkled his nose here.

"Honey, I heard that Hollywood Records is going to record for you?" Drew waved to Taylor and asked, "When are you releasing the record?"

"Come on." Speaking of business, Tyler looked calm, "Don't be in a hurry."

"Can we listen to your new song first?" Tom Hanks made an inviting gesture. "Little guy?"

"OK then."

Tyler nodded his chin and stood up, "I'll get the guitar."

About ten minutes later, the girl walked over with a rose-wood guitar, which was specially made for her by Ryan at the beginning. The brand of '' complemented her perfectly.

"Do you need Ryan to accompany you or sing a chorus?"

The person sitting here is now Nicole who can say such things, Taylor shook his head and said seriously, "Music not only requires talent, but also requires a lot of practice, Ryan has thrown it away for so long, it still counts. Right."

What Taylor said was the simplest truth, Ryan smiled and clapped his palms, and several people around clapped.

"This is a new song I wrote after I came to Australia." Hanging his acoustic guitar, Taylor stood by the bonfire. Although he was less than fifteen years old, he had his own temperament and style. "I season, thank you!"

She didn't use a pick, she played the strings directly with her fingers, and the popular country-style tune suddenly sounded.

"Light blue sky, light blue lake, dark blue sea.

And floating white clouds,

The most natural and most beautiful color.

You can never see all the beauty of this season,

Standing here, I couldn't move an inch, and I was deeply attracted by the scenery in front of me.

There is no one around, and I seem to be at the end of the world,

If I can fly, I would like to spread my wings and roam with the angels on the layers of waves!

Only the clouds in the sky are still there, and all they have seen here are the surging waves and the silver sand..."

The girl's singing is ethereal and tactful, without any bubbles. It is as colorful as autumn in Australia, and as delicate and moving as the scenery of the manor, as if this season is rippling in her singing.

The singing was crisp and clear, and it spread far and far. When the last syllable fell, not only the people on Ryan's side clapped their palms, but other people around the fire were also clapping vigorously, and the voice of applause spread. come over.

"Thank you!" Taylor smiled and turned around and beckoned around, shoved the guitar to Ryan, and sat back next to Nicole again, "It's yours for the time being."

"Very beautiful!" Nicole kissed her forehead, "Alison, you are our pride."

The girl pulled her long curly blond hair and smiled even more brilliantly.

Putting Taylor's guitar away, Ryan smiled equally brightly. As she grew older, Taylor showed her musical talent that surpassed her previous life. More importantly, she could easily capture every inspiration that floated around her and create He produced beautiful songs that he had never heard in his previous life, and this "My Season" written after he came to Australia is one of the representatives.

She will have her own style, her own music, and her own brilliance.

As long as the time is up, Taylor will definitely shine brightly. (To be continued..) ()
