After leaving Hong Kong, the crew's Far East trip was far from over. They went to Manila, Taipei, Seoul and Tokyo one after another. Every time they went, with the power carried by "Jurassic Park", they always set off a frenzy.
These places are dumping places for American entertainment culture. Ryan also realized that his name had a considerable influence in the Far East. Compared with the barriers to novels, the communication between images and music is more convenient. His image in movies and music is circulated here widely.
Every time I walk out of the airport, there are always hundreds or even thousands of fans, holding up his and Nicole's posters, shouting their names crazily, which is completely a superstar treatment.
Without any surprises, "Jurassic Park" has achieved great success in the Far East, becoming the longest-released film in Taiwan, and set a historical high box office record of nearly NT$500 million. Some of the plots have also led to changes in Taiwan's film rating system.
In Hong Kong, any Hong Kong film that meets it can only look up high. When Ryan and his group take a plane back to Los Angeles, it has become the first film in Hong Kong history to exceed 60 million Hong Kong dollars. Moreover, the subsequent screenings are still hot, which will inevitably create a higher box office record.
This is definitely a crazy journey to make money. Although it still has to be shared with agents and issuers from all over the world, the high profits generated are still jealous.
After returning to Los Angeles for about a week of rest, Nicole commissioned a special agency to invite a tutor for him, but Ryan did not express any comments.
He knew very well that as long as his grades fell to C, Nicole would definitely send him back to school. Although she had not used the custody in her hands, she had absolutely no mercy when she turned cold.
Besides, after two to three hours of study time every day, you can get a whole day of freedom, which is an extremely cost-effective business.
In addition, he also needs to record his lines and find his feelings and prepare to participate in the dubbing of "The Lion King".
What Ryan did not expect was that when September entered, Nicole invited Cate Blanchett, whom she had just met, to Los Angeles because she had won an audition for the other party.
"So you chose Batman forever?"
Sitting on the sofa in the living room, Ryan looked at the two women opposite him and couldn't help scratching his head.
Warner just launched the third episode of Batman and made people come into contact with Nicole. Unexpectedly, Nicole actually agreed, even though she played this role in the previous life.
"Do you have any objection, my dear?"
Seeing Nicole see, Ryan shook her head, and she agreed. What else can she say? Nicole is very nice to her, but she is not a person without opinions.
"Ryan, the heroine in this script is indeed outstanding, but don't you think its conception is somewhat similar to "The Sixth Sense"? I think it should be the best choice to postpone it for a while before shooting it."
Nicole placed the script he was flipping on the coffee table in front of her, and the flower style on the cover was "Far Cry of the Island".
The scene of this movie is extremely simple, and the whole play is to highlight the image of the heroine. After returning from the Far East, Ryan used his spare time to drive it out and handed it over to Nicole.
"Then whatever you want." Ryan waved his hand indifferently and asked curiously, "What role did you win for Kate?"
“An action movie.”
The answer was Cate Blanchett, and Nicole added, "Twentieth Century Fox wanted me to play the heroine in an action movie, but I pushed it, and then I recommended Kate to them, of course, just to audition."
"What movie?" Ryan was a little curious.
"After I refused the speed of life and death, it is said that Twentieth Century Fox intends to use newcomers from directors to actors."
Nicole drank a sip of black tea and squeezed her eyes at Blanchett, "Kate, this is a good opportunity to enter Hollywood."
"Thank you, Nicole."
Cate Blanchett obviously didn't expect that the friends he met by chance would help.
"We are friends, it's time to help each other."
After hearing Nicole's words, Ryan could roughly guess that Nicole is not only helping others, but also building her own circle.
Since Nicole is so concerned, she will help her.
"So that's it. I'm quite familiar with the top leaders of Twentieth Century Fox. I'll say hello to them." Ryan looked at Nicole, as long as she was happy, "Kate, you must take out your acting skills above the level to attend the audition."
Auditions are nothing more than human favors. The relationships within the rules sometimes play an important role. Besides, 20th Century Fox just made a big profit on "The True Lies". As long as Cate Blanchett's acting skills are qualified, these are just small issues.
"Okay, Kate, you just need to prepare for the audition with peace of mind." Nicole patted her hands.
Ryan is a completely layman about the relationship between women, just as he still can't understand why Nicole had a good relationship with Judy Foster.
"I'll go upstairs and won't disturb your chat."
Seeing the two women who were getting hotter and eager to meet each other, Ryan simply waved his hand and walked back to the second floor.
Back in the room, Ryan dialed Grant Hill's phone number, who is now one of the heads of the 20th Century Fox film production department.
"Hi, Ryan, you actually called me on your own initiative. This is really rare." A familiar voice came from the receiver.
"I congratulate you." Ryan deliberately started the topic, "The box office of "The True Lies" is almost $250 million, right?"
"It should be more than that number next week."
When it comes to this matter, as the leader of this film project, Grant Hill is obviously honored.
"Then when will my share be paid?" Ryan quipped.
"Oh, God, Ryan, it turns out you are here to collect debts." The other party also joked, "The North American box office of Jurassic Park has exceeded 400 million US dollars. Haven't you made enough money yet?"
"No one thinks that the money is too much, right?" Ryan changed the subject, "I heard that you are preparing for an action movie called "The Speed of Life and Death"?"
"That's right!"
The other party thought for a moment and continued, "Originally, Paramount fell in love with the script first, but... you also know the current situation of Paramount, and you don't have the extra energy to make a new movie..."
"I am one of the producers of the film. Could it be that you want to jointly invest?"
As the production costs and promotional expenses of movies become increasingly high, joint investment is becoming more and more popular in Hollywood.
"No, no." Ryan said her purpose. "It's like that, Nicole recommended one of her friends to audition... Well, her name is Cate Blanchett."
"As long as her acting skills and image are fine."
"I can guarantee this."
After hanging up the phone, Ryan looked behind him, and just now he saw Nicole pushing the door and walking in.
"The friendship between women is really puzzling." Ryan muttered, and Nicole laughed. "It's rare to meet a speculative friend."
"Where is Bryant?" Ryan asked.
"It's different. Judy is American and Kate is Australian." Nicole shook her head slightly, "Do you need me to say thank you, Ryan?"
Nicole knew very well that Ryan had a somewhat cold heart under his sunny and passionate appearance, and it was only for his own sake that he was willing to help.
"As long as you are happy," Ryan gently shook Nicole's hand, "Do we still need to divide each other?"
Nicole smiled brightly, kissed him gently on the forehead, and waved his hand out of the room.
Shaking his head, Ryan sat at the desk, and all the things he did were worth it. Isn’t it? Some efforts are necessary to stay with Nicole forever.
After being together for almost seven years, Ryan asked himself that he should be the person who knows Nicole the best in the world, but a woman's heart is always hidden in the thick fog. Although he could vaguely feel that there were many secrets in Nicole's heart, he could never guess or see through it.
Sometimes he couldn't help but want to ask the question he wanted to ask the most, but he realized that the time had not yet come and he didn't have that kind of capital now.
Why should he keep her by his side? With his identity as a thirteen-year-old brat?
Ryan stood up and walked to the dressing mirror. The boy in the mirror was more than 5 feet and 8 inches tall. If he changed to metric system, he would definitely be 173 cm. If he ignored the tenderness on his face, he looked like an adult from the back alone.
It won't be too long! Ryan told himself in his heart.
In his opinion, Nicole has always been single because she wants to take care of herself wholeheartedly. As she grows older, this situation cannot continue.
What if Nicole falls in love with someone else? Could it be that she really risked her rebellion and poured her into concrete pillars and thrown into the sea under the cliffs of Malibu?
You must be mine, Nicole!
He clenched his fists, and the seeds that had sprouted at the time were about to grow into big trees.
"Kate, find an agent here, and you'd better find a fixed place to stay as soon as possible. Long-term stay in a hotel is not the solution."
Although Nicole didn't say it clearly, Cate Blanchett is not a fool. As long as his acting skills remain above the level during the audition...
"Thank you, Nicole."
Hearing Blanchett's words, Nicole shook her head, "You'd better go and thank Ryan, his words are much more effective than me."
"he?"
Cate Blanchett was a little confused. She used to be halfway across the Pacific Ocean, but now she has just arrived in Hollywood. She is still an outsider and does not understand the huge interests behind the name Ryan Jenkins.
"yes!"
Nicole smiled laughing, extremely proud and proud, "Ryan just spoke to the producer of Twentieth Century Fox..."
There are some things that are difficult to understand the truth without standing in the circle. Listening to Nicole’s telling, Cate Blanchett gradually opened his mouth wide. It was not until this time that she realized that the young man who looked sunny and cheerful was far from being the number one child star in Hollywood.
Her luck is so good! She felt this kind of emotion in her heart.
