Chapter 116 Portman

When the lights were on, Ryan and his friends walked into an Italian restaurant, which was well-known in Brooklyn and was known for authentic Italian meals. However, there were not many types of foods available for Natalie and Mrs. Shelley to choose from, and strict vegetarians and other things were the most troublesome.

Speaking of which, Natalie had already broken the precepts under Ryan's intrigue, but that was only when the two were alone, in front of her mother, she was still a good girl, even though she had already revealed signs of rebellious period.

Jinslie and Mrs. Shelley sat together, constantly exchanging opinions on Natalie's future development, while Ryan and Natalie gathered together and murmured in a low voice.

"What, you want to change your name?" Ryan was slightly surprised.

"Yes, I don't want to be like you." Natalie said with her lips curled.

"Like me? What's wrong with me?" He was really a little strange now, and it seemed that he had become the opposite textbook again.

"Don't you often complain to me? At school, classmates always look at you with strange eyes. The reporters are surrounded by the school gate all day long." Natalie said things that Ryan often wrote in the letter. "There are too many letters sent by fans, so there is no time to read or reply."

"It's better to get used to it if you are reporters, but it's really troublesome to send letters to fans." Ryan scratched his head a little.

It is no secret that Ryan's school is located. He often receives hundreds of letters every week. These letters cannot be thrown around casually. George often needs to carry a bag to pack.

Choosing a part of it to reply is a must-do work. Although most of the reply is handed over to the team behind the scenes, no matter how you deal with it, you must be cautious.

He had complained to Natalie more than once in his letter, and of course, what was brought back was a ruthless blow.

"So, I decided to give myself a stage name... Well, try to get less harassed before I get an underage." Natalie put down the fork in her hand, lightly lit the tabletop, and said in a low voice, "Portman, Natalie Portman, what do you think, Ryan?"

Natalie Portman? What do I think? Is that okay? Ryan rolled his eyes and said, "It's not bad, is this your grandmother's last name?"

"Yes, I remember telling you before that she participated in World War II and sent intelligence to the Allies."

"A heroine." Ryan nodded. Natalie was not ordinary smart. She knew how to use every advantage of her. She was really a member of her. "Why didn't I think I had to change my name at the beginning?"

"Do you want to know the reason?" Natalie's chin raised up.

"certainly."

"Because you are a fool, the biggest fool in the world!"

Seeing Ryan's face turn dark, Natalie smiled happily, and hitting him was her greatest pleasure.

Although the restaurant is famous, not many people eat. Not far from Ryan's table, a man and a woman are sitting at the dining table talking about something.

"Liv, so you have a good chance of winning this role?"

"Hmm~" The girl had a long face and a black hair, which was Liv Taylor. "When I left the audition room, I could see that the director was very satisfied with me."

She has lived in the complex and chaotic rock circles and model circles since she was a child. To her, she was just a little bit of it.

"That's great."

The agent showed some excitement. Ryan Jenkins's works have never failed. As long as Liv becomes popular, it means that his income will also rise sharply. Maybe he can still take advantage of the opportunity to become a first-class agent like Pie Kinsley.

"Didn't Ryan Jenkins also be in the audition room? Didn't he say anything?" The agent knew very well that the other party was Matilda's creator and had a certain status in Hollywood, so he should have a great say in this role.

"Ryan..."

Liv Taylor raised his head and happened to see another table in front of him. Isn't it Ryan Jenkins?

He was joking with a girl, why did that girl look so familiar?

After a little recollection, she remembered, wasn’t this the last girl to audition? She even said hello to her, as if her name was Natalie…

How could she be with Ryan? Jenkins? Look at the jokes and jokes. She would definitely not have met her just now, nor could she be an ordinary acquaintance. She looks like a very good friend no matter how she looks!

As soon as the audition ended, they got together and were so happy. Could it be that they were celebrating...

Liv Taylor is also not a simple girl. Although she is an illegitimate daughter, her parents are both celebrities in the entertainment industry. She has been dealing with this circle since she was a child. As her mother attends various parties, she is used to the dark side behind the glamor.

She didn't know how many people had seen drug use, alcoholism, carnival, transaction, homosexuality, etc., and she knew that it would never be fair behind the seemingly fair auditions. She also knew that using mature but not raw is one of the unwritten rules in Hollywood.

In just a moment, the smile on her face disappeared without a trace, and she understood that the character that was originally within reach was getting farther and farther away from her.

Ryan and Natalie naturally had no idea what happened today, and they would cause some trouble in the future.

"I've seen Luc Besson's movies, but I haven't seen him filming them on the spot. I don't know what kind of director he is." Ryan and Natalie whispered, and the topic naturally revolved around "Killer Leon". "But, Nat, don't worry, no matter how strict the French fat man is, he can't compare to James Cameron."

"Oh~" Natalie finished a piece of vegetarian pizza and wiped her mouth with a napkin, and said slowly, "I've seen Reno, where is Gary Oldman?"

Gary Oldman also came from Ryan's recommendation. After talking to him once, Luc Besson decided to let this evil guy play the role of policeman Stan.

"It is said to be a very funny person." Ryan shrugged.

"Killer Leon" is just beginning to prepare, and it is still early to start the filming. Although there are not many big scenes in the movie, many scenes need to be closed. This is New York, and you must communicate well with the city hall in advance. This aspect alone will take a lot of time.

As for Natalie, after watching her audition, there was nothing to worry about in her acting skills. The only problem was that she was much thinner than when she starred in this movie in her previous life.

In particular, Matilda's chest had two small bags bulging on her chest in her previous life, but now Natalie is at the airport.

Age is not a big problem. Even if Natalie plays a role at the age of fifteen, it will still cause controversy.

However, Ryan has become the creator of the script in this life. With his current reputation, even if there is fire and sewage in the sky, most of them will come to him.

Correspondingly, Natalie will no longer encounter such great pressure like she did in her previous life.

In her previous life, "The Killer Leon" was hailed as a classic, but it was not a success in North America - its reputation and box office were not good. Since its release, it has been bombarded by mainstream media, especially Natalie, who has gained praise for her acting skills, accompanied by huge pressure, and many media have even continued to smear her.

Among the people who support her, most of them are middle-aged men, and many of the letters sent to her are also the most famous language of strangers.

If she hadn't been smart and precocious, and had a strong mind, she might have become another girl with such treatment as ice and fire.

Even so, it still had a huge impact on her future. For example, when she became an adult, she once publicly stated that she did not like the role of Matilda.

"When will you go back to Los Angeles?" Natalie asked.

"Tomorrow, I can't take a long leave, otherwise Nicole should be upset again." Ryan sighed. The impact of the Polish incident was huge. Nicole Kidman's control was much more severe than before. "You know, I was only suspended by Nicole last month..."

The matter in New York has come to an end. After returning to Los Angeles, Ryan has restrained a lot whether at home or at school. God only knew what happened to Nicole and his requirements have been much stricter.

Of course, Ryan wouldn't understand that this was the side effect of a conversation with Harvey Weinstein at the Oscar party.

This is also good, so he can put away all his energy and devote himself to the script creation of "Scream". Besides, there is no other plan during this period, so he can take time to write "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix".

In fact, there are still many crews who have invited him, but most of them are small supporting roles, and they do not have much value in acting and will not be of much help to his future.

His body has been developing rapidly, and his height has begun to approach adults infinitely, but his face is still a young boy.

Generally, child stars who develop later will encounter the most embarrassing period after they are thirteen or fourteen years old, but Ryan ushered in this stage early. Even if he was a human being for two lives and had searched all his memories in his mind, he could not find a very suitable role. For the time being, he could only do this.

Maybe I can create an original story? I tailored a character for myself? This idea will pop up from time to time, and Ryan is also a little moved.

After plagiarizing for so many years, he has some experience. Moreover, he has twenty years of film experience than people today. It is normal to have such an idea.

However, it is not the time. His signature in Hollywood has just been erected. If it is screwed up, it will inevitably have an important impact on future products.

Speaking of which, I am better than movies in terms of music. I can create original songs and my level is not bad. I really don’t know what to say.

You know, the song "Climbing" was only given up as the champion after 11 weeks at the first place on the Billboard. Although it did not break the championship record of "I Will Love You forever", it has received countless praises.
