Listening to the sounds that reached the ears and looking at the flash that never stopped, Natalie knew that they were shouting for Ryan, going crazy for this young man who was famous all over the United States.

So what about me? This kind of fanatical shouting and cheering, the strong atmosphere like a tornado, made her unable to stop being intoxicated.

Since we have embarked on this path, who doesn’t want to be a glorious big star! Who doesn’t want to be the center of the whole world! Who is willing to be the last one!

Even if this person is his best friend!

Looking at the hand that reached out, Natalie slowly placed her hand on it, feeling inexplicable peace of mind, as if as long as he was in front of her, she would be fearless!

Under the guidance of that hand, Natalie bent down and got out of the car. The moment she left the car, another familiar hand had gently placed on the car door above her head, for fear that she would touch her head.

Ryan was as careful as ever! Natalie smiled brightly to her friends.

"Nate, are you ready?" A faint voice rang in my ears.

"Of course!" Natalie nodded vigorously.

The flash was still on, and Natalie could feel that many of the reporters were her. If she was still a little nervous when she was in the car, then now this tension had disappeared without a trace, she just felt... excited!

I have been working hard since I was four! I have set my goal since I was six! Isn’t this exactly what I want?

Looking at Ryan's bent arms, Natalie put her hand into his arms, doing impeccable etiquette and showing her ladylike demeanor.

The crimson carpet was like a soft beach, floating on it, always giving people an unreal feeling, as if floating in the clouds. Natalie subconsciously tightened her arms, and Ryan seemed to notice it, and turned around and gave her a peaceful smile.

"Nate, wave, look! There are your supporters over there!" The friend's voice sounded in his ears again.

Natalie followed Ryan's gaze and found that many people were holding Matilda's poster high and shouting "Matilda", even covering up Ryan's shouting around.

She turned around, showed a charming smile, waved to the other side, and the crowd immediately burst into greater cheers.

It feels so good to be admired! Is this the red carpet feeling? Following Ryan's footsteps, Natalie thought while walking, even if a few reporters or paparazzi asked questions, they were blocked by the other party.

The human-shaped shield? When Natalie thought of the statement that Ryan laughed louder when she was talking on the phone.

"Matilda! Matilda! Matilda!"

The call grew higher and higher, as if it was about to travel through Manhattan and spread throughout New York.

Gradually, Natalie discovered something unusual. Why did the so-called supporters call "Matilda" instead of "Natalie". The name Natalie Portman is clearly on the poster.

Why are Ryan's fans completely different? They are not calling out any character he plays in, nor are they his novel or song titles, but they are calling out almost the same "Ryan"!

Immediately afterwards, Natalie made a new discovery. Most of the people holding Matilda's posters were middle-aged people. There was a kind of emotion called fanaticism when they looked at them.

How could this be the case? Natalie suddenly remembered what Ryan mentioned before, "Uncle loves loli, and the lady loves suta!"

God only knew what Ryan had taught her!

But... why are most of Ryan's fans teenagers? Natalie was a little angry and simply stopped looking over there, but just walked forward with Ryan.

After walking through the first part of the red carpet, the closer it was to the theater, the more supporters Natalie saw, and many people held up his various posters, shouting something enthusiastically.

On both sides of a red carpet near the entrance of the theater, there are almost no other people except the reporters in the interview area. Everyone here has a characteristic - young people! Many of them are even minors!

"Ryan! Ryan!" Their shouts seemed to be able to shake the sky.

Natalie's lips pursed. It was absolutely impossible to say that she didn't envy her heart. She admitted that she was a little jealous. She had known each other for three years and had quarreled for three years. She had never lost. Since the day she was sensible, she has been the winner. Now...

OK! Ryan Jenkins, no matter what, I always have a talent that will completely overwhelm you! Natalie's hands tightened again.

"What happened, Nat?"

"Nothing." Natalie still kept smiling.

Watching Ryan signing his fans while walking, Natalie was indifferent. She knew very well that even if she wanted to compete with this guy, she wouldn't be the case now.

As soon as she walked to the interview area, Pi Jinsli stood behind her unknowingly, and reporters who were ready to go gathered up, and microphones, small tape recorders, etc. were almost piled up in front of her.

"Nat, don't be nervous." Natalie understood that this was Jinslie's reminder.

"May I ask, are you Miss Natalie Portman?" asked a reporter.

"Yes." Natalie kept smiling and nodded.

“Can you introduce yourself?”

Hearing the reporter's question, Natalie rolled her eyes slightly.

"Hey, Natalie, you came in the same car with Ryan. Have you known each other long ago?" Another reporter finally squeezed in and asked loudly.

"Ryan and I are friends, and we actually met in 1989." Natalie didn't think much about it and answered casually.

I met in 1989? Ryan hadn't become famous at that time, right? It seems that their relationship is unusual! Many reporters realized that this would be a big news, and then they wanted to continue digging.

"Okay, can you say something after the movie is released? Nat, let's go."

Under the protection of several staff members, Natalie took Ryan's arm and walked out of the interview area.

"Hello everyone!"

When they arrived at the place where the group films were taken, Natalie greeted Luc Besson, Jean Renault, Gary Oldman, Julius and others one by one.

After the past few years of communication, she has always remembered some of the things Ryan said. Connections are very important in this circle and need to work hard like acting careers.

After chatting with the crew for a few words, Natalie walked to the other side and greeted the little girl with her growing hair, "Hello, Ska, I haven't seen each other for a long time."

"Hey, Nat." The little girl was obviously happy, "I went to Long Island to find you last month, but you were not at home."

"Sorry, Ska." Natalie greeted the girl's mother and continued, "Didn't I leave you a phone number? You can call first."

"I forgot." The little girl lowered her head.

The crew stood together. After the routine photo ended, Natalie was still following Ryan and walked towards the theater. It is said that Miramax and Luc Besson invited many people to attend the premiere.

"Hi, Harvey, I haven't seen you for a long time, you're fatter again."

The person Ryan was greeting Natalie had met on the set, one of Miramax's family members, Harvey Weinstein.

Yes, Ryan mentioned in the letter that he has a good idea in Oscars' PR.

Thinking of the things Ryan intentionally mentioned in the letter, as smart as Natalie, he naturally understood that this circle was not as simple as it seemed.

But I've been ready, aren't I?

"Harvey, this is my best friend, Natalie Heshler, you should know him."

Natalie could hear that Ryan deliberately accented when she said the word ‘most’.

"Hello, Mr. Weinstein." Natalie shook hands with the fat man opposite, and only heard him say, "Natalie, your talent is so amazing. I have seen the sample film. Your performance is definitely comparable to Ryan's performance in "The Sixth Sense". I hope we will have opportunities to cooperate in the future."

"Thank you, I think there will be something." Natalie knew very well that the other party valued her so much because of the friendship between her friends.

Following Ryan, Natalie greeted the people he introduced one by one. She understood what he meant and was helping her.

Some of these people are big stars in the front stage, but more are people she has never heard of, such as Disney's Carter Eisner, a producer of Warner, Mario Casa, the representative of Carroco Film Company, the editorial team leader of Universal Pictures, etc., especially a woman named Shirley Lansing. Even Ryan rarely showed a very serious look when facing her.

Although she had never actually come into contact with this circle, after all, she had a long correspondence with Ryan, and the two sides naturally talked about some things in Hollywood. Therefore, Natalie understood that these are powerful figures in the entertainment industry and are capable of determining the existence of a movie and the main characters in it.

It turns out that I have been so far behind him! Natalie had some idea. Her empty hand was always holding her tightly. Today she finally walked onto this big stage! She will definitely go further!

Finally, Natalie followed Ryan to a man with a little messy hair. She knew this person, who was so famous and was praised as one of the four major directors in the 1980s.

Unexpectedly, he came too! As a result, it is said that his Industrial Light and Magic is collaborating with Ryan and Universal on "Jurassic Park", and it is not surprising that he was invited to attend the premiere.

"George, this is Natalie Heshler...ah, it should be Natalie Portman, one of the leading actors of this movie today, my friend."

"Is that true, Ryan, this is really rare. I have never seen you have friends of the same age." The other party seemed to be very familiar with Ryan.

"It's really rare, Nat is my only friend of the same age."

"Hello, Mr. Lucas, I really like the Star Wars series!" Natalie complimented.

"Thanks."

"Speaking of this, George, aren't you going to continue making Star Wars? We've been waiting for years."

Hearing Ryan's words, Natalie keenly realized that he seemed to be making some tricks.

"I have this plan, but I'll have to wait a few years."

After talking a few more words, seeing that the time was about the same, Natalie and Ryan walked into the screening room together, and their seats were in the front row, just connected together.

The lights went out, and after the moment of darkness, the picture flashed on the big screen. Natalie was uncontrollably excited. Her first movie was about to be released!

This is my stage!
Chapter completed!
