Chapter 157 Ready

PS: Please subscribe! Please give me monthly tickets!

The knock on the door woke Ryan from his sleep, slowly opened his eyes, turned his head to look at the bedroom door, and Nicole Kidman's tall figure had already pushed the door open and walked in.

"Ryan, it's time to get up, otherwise you'll be late." Nicole walked to the bed.

"Ah..." Ryan shook his head and muttered, "Nicole, can I ask for a few days off from the school?"

"Please leave?" Nicole's face was a little dark, "Ryan, you are going to take leave again just a few days after school starts?"

"Please!" Ryan Baba looked over, "I'm so tired recently, Grammys last night..."

"All right."

Nicole sighed. After all, she saw Ryan's busyness recently. She also conceived and wrote several scripts, and signed the promotional signing of "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix". She also took time to practice new songs. She went to participate in the Grammy yesterday...

If she doesn't feel sorry for her, it must be fake. There is a little helplessness in her light blue eyes. Outsiders will only envy Ryan's glory, but who knows how hard he has put in the future?

"Tell me, how long should I take?" Just like everything in the past, it was only Nicole who gave in.

"How about a month?"

What I mean by being more and more greedy is Ryan now.

"Ryan~"

Nicole's face turned darker, and she couldn't help but bent down and patted him gently through the thin quilt.

"Then whatever you want."

After grabbing the hand, Ryan pulled it gently, and Nicole sat by the bed, unable to help but squeeze his ears gently.

Perhaps because he had just woken up, he was a little confused and impulsive, Ryan moved his head to the bed, and like when he was a child, he laid on Nicole's thighs, and buried most of his face between her flat belly.

"Nicole, I haven't slept like this for a long time. It's so missing..."

The confused boy said in a muffled voice, saying something he didn't know, and put his hand around her slender waist.

Through the thin clothes, Ryan breathed the familiar breath, a little intoxicated. However, the next moment, he suddenly felt Nicole's body tremble slightly, realizing that he was not a little brat now. Nicole should have been angry when he made this move.

He quickly shrank his head back, and Ryan glanced at Nicole's face. The Australian girl bit her lips tightly, her face not very good, and she seemed to be holding back something.

"Yes...I'm sorry. Nicole, I apologize."

It is rare to see Nicole's expression. Ryan thought she was so angry that she couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

The Australian girl let out a long breath, as if she had dispersed something, and then her slightly cold voice came over, "Get up quickly. I'll ask you for leave."

As the door slammed, Ryan's eyes were a little straightened, and he sighed that as he grew older, his self-control in some aspects seemed to be getting worse and worse.

Removing the quilt, Ryan couldn't help but glance down. The hormones in adolescence were like air defense radars installed with alarms. They were squeaking.

What about the self-control you are proud of? Be calm! It won’t take long to grow up! Then you will have enough capital!

After washing up, Ryan walked out of the bathroom and kept reminding himself in his heart.

Before leaving, Ryan looked at the glass display cabinet again, two small golden men and one phonograph, and a long way to go from full load.

"Lisa, go and heat up the breakfast. And Ryan, you are not allowed to read the newspaper when you have breakfast."

He walked down the stairs with a large envelope. Ryan had just taken a thick stack of newspapers, and Nicole's voice had already come over there.

"All right."

Ryan responded, sat in the sofa in the living room with the newspaper, and took the time before breakfast to read it. Is it okay?

After browsing the current affairs page roughly, Ryan targeted the entertainment page closely related to him, because the Grammy just ended last night and most newspapers' entertainment page headlines were given to it.

As usual, reports have their own advantages. Some people are called unfair, some criticize the standards of the Recording Association for awards, some sing praises for certain singers, and some specialize in writing red carpet gossip.

No matter what kind of newspaper, one of the key points is that Michael Jackson won the Contemporary Legend Award. Most people believe that no one will surpass him in pop music within ten or twenty years.

Of course, there are still many people who pour sewage. Many newspapers, including many mainstream media, have brought out their skins to talk about it.

Ryan was too lazy to read these real and fake news, and there were many articles criticizing him.

"Eric Clapton is more qualified to win the award for the best album of the year than Ryan Jenkins. The Recording Association awarded this award to Ryan just to calm the resentment of his huge number of fans. Otherwise, God would know if these energetic little guys would tear the Grammy off."

"The success of Ryan Jenkins' first solo album is more about business, and is far inferior to Eric Clapton in art. The Recording Association actually lowered its head in front of business. I have to say that this is a kind of sadness..."

Such criticism and injustice will appear after every award ceremony, so Ryan won’t care. Will they say that it will be useful? Will the recording association deprive him of his qualification to win the award? Take back the phonograph?

Compared to criticizing and praising him more media, a report in the New York Times is very representative.

"The album "Ryan Jenkins" deserves its best album of the year. Originally, we thought Ryan was most likely to win the Newcomer of the Year out of the three nominations, but Grammys maintained their usual style and gave the award to the rap band's development hindering the development of the rap band, but gave the heavier album of the year to Ryan."

"We don't need to evaluate the standards of the Recording Association, we just need to look at the quality of Ryan's first solo album. To this day, this album has sold more than 10 million copies in North America. According to incomplete statistics, the global sales volume is definitely more than 15 million copies. Among them, "he", "Climbing" and "Because You" have successively topped the Billboard rankings, and their grasp of popular elements..."

Nicole's hand suddenly fell on the newspaper, and Ryan had to put the newspaper down and walked into the restaurant.

Breakfast was simple, with toast omelettes and baked muffins, plus a large cup of hot milk. Looking at the young housekeeper, Ryan suddenly remembered another thing.

"Lisa, there is a letter on the table in the living room, and I'll send it to New York for me, thank you."

"Letter to Miss Natalie?" Lisa asked casually.

"Um."

After breakfast, Ryan walked back to the living room and found Nicole sitting on the sofa, frowning through some documents, and making calls from time to time to discuss something with people.

"What is this?" Ryan walked over.

"Do you want to help me, dear?" Nicole handed over a copy.

Looking at the tables and numbers above, Ryan couldn't help but feel dizzy. He could guess without looking closely that it must be the financial statements sent by him and Nicole's accountants.

"This is a statement sent by Scott and the accounting firm." Nicole's words confirmed his speculation.

Accounts like those cross-audged by lawyers, accountants and foundations rarely have any mistakes. In the past, Ryan would look at the statements, but later he simply pushed all these work to Nicole. He knew that he was not the material, and instead of wasting time on it, it would be better to write and draw.

"The publisher's royalties and the royalties that he just paid in advance last year, the share of Hollywood record companies, the share of Jenkins Films, the share of your scripts and adaptation rights... Well, we also have our earnings and advertising contracts, and the stocks and fixed industries under our name."

While flipping the accounts, Nicole gave a brief explanation for Ryan. As the guardian, she was nominally the controller of these properties, but in fact she rarely interfered with Ryan's investment actions.

"Did all our income be paid last year?" Ryan asked.

"It's settled." Nicole nodded, suddenly remembering something. "I heard from Scott, do you want to buy Pixar?"

"That's right."

Ryan nodded. Pixar's current situation seemed to be worse than what he learned in his previous life. Although it means that Steve Jobs would sell Pixar for the last time, and then he gritted his teeth and persevered when no one cared about it. But Ryan didn't want to wait any longer. Who knows if there would be any accidents in this year?

"Ryan, this isn't a $2 million acquisition of a game studio, and that's a project that Scott has been looking at for a long time. The deal could be tens of millions of dollars. Don't you think it's too hasty?"

Obviously, Nicole, like Scott Swift, is not optimistic about Pixar's future development, which is normal. In fact, few people in the industry are optimistic about them, otherwise Jobs would not want to sell them every year but never sell them.

"Nicole, this is not a hasty decision. Do you remember the charity party we attended two years ago?"

"Charity party?" Nicole immediately remembered. At that time, Ryan had said a few words to Steve Jobs, the owner of Pixar, "It won't be..."

"Yes, actually, Scott's team has been observing them since then. I don't want to talk about the future prospects of 3D computer animation." Ryan looked at Nicole very seriously. "If they make a 3D animated movie, we will run Pixar on the market, and then you and I will have billions of dollars, and we will be the top group of people in Hollywood."

"What happened?" Nicole was unmoved.

"Even if it fails, at most our net worth is half. With our age, this is nothing, isn't it?"

Ryan pinched his chin and used such a large sum of funds, and there was no need to think about it without the signature of the guardian. Originally, he wanted to find other opportunities to convince Nicole, but now that he has talked about this, he just said it out.

Besides, Pixar not only needs to be bought in your hands, but it requires a lot of money to maintain its daily operation. It also makes a lot of investment for making "Toy Story".
