After hanging up Cate Blanchett's phone, Ryan enjoyed the night view of California through the car window. Before the car entered the Beverly Mountain area, his cell phone rang again, but it was a phone from home.

"Hello, Lisa, what happened?" The butler called.

“There is a lady in the living room and she said she is Nicole’s friend, from Australia.”

"Didn't you tell her that Nicole went to Europe?" Ryan was a little surprised. Nicole didn't have many friends, and Lisa knew them all.

"I said it, but she neither left nor said the purpose of coming here." Lisa's words were filled with a slight helplessness, "She said she could meet you."

"Then...well." Ryan took his eyes completely out of the window, "I'll be in Beverly Hills right away, let her wait for a moment."

You can't let Lisa drive people out, right? Ryan closed the phone and shook his head slightly. There were paparazzi garrisons outside the house for a long time...

Who is he? From Australia? Didn't he hear Nicole mention that she has other friends in Australia?

The car drove into the garage, and Ryan walked straight into the living room of the villa and found Lisa sitting on the sofa, chatting with a blonde woman drinking coffee.

The blonde Ryan met the female classmate Nicole when she was on vacation in Australia with Nicole. She seemed to be a female classmate from a performance school.

"Hello, Ryan, do you still remember me?" The other party stood up and reached out to him.

"Of course, you are Nicole's classmate." Ryan shook it gently and signaled her not to be polite.

What is her name? After sitting on the sofa, Ryan found that he couldn't remember her name. This is normal. Although his head is much better than ordinary people, he would not deliberately remember the names of people he had only met once.

"When did you come to Los Angeles? Why didn't Nicole notify?"

Seeing that the other party had no intention of introducing himself, Ryan simply ignored her name and politely said.

"Come here at the beginning of the year." She held the coffee cup and slowly turned it in her hand, as if she didn't know how to speak.

Ryan looked at her calmly. Although the blonde woman was very beautiful, she had an unconcealed haggard expression. Her light blue eyes clearly stated that she was anxious, which looked no different from the actresses who ran into walls everywhere in Hollywood.

It was not until Lisa's figure completely disappeared and there were only two of them in the living room that the other party spoke again, "I lost Nicole's contact information, and you will only know your address when you ask someone in the circle..."

Listening to her words, Ryan gradually understood that this was just another story of coming to Hollywood to seek a dream, but he was bleeding.

She did not follow Nicole's advice at the time, and before she made any name in Australia, she traveled across the ocean to Los Angeles, hoping to become famous overnight.

However, reality and dreams are like Sydney and Los Angeles, separated by most of the Pacific Ocean. Although she has been persisting, for more than half a year, she has made no progress in her career except for a few inexperienced roles.

Like most Westerners, she doesn't have much savings. She is unable to make ends meet for a long time and is unable to pay for the rent in the apartment. She temporarily moved into a motel and is often harassed by some hippies, and even her own safety is almost a problem.

In desperation, he came to ask for help.

Although she was very obscure, Ryan still analyzed the general meaning.

There are a large number of Hollywood and Australian movie stars, most of whom have made a name for themselves in Australia. They only came to Hollywood to develop after their works entered the North American market. Even if there are people who occasionally get up from the bottom, it is rare, and any circle has its own xenophobia.

You should know that there are many women from all over the world who are looking for actor dreams. After wasting their time, they could only stand on the street for their livelihood.

"So you wait a moment, I'll call Nicole."

Strictly counting, this is Nicole's private matter, and she still has to make her own decisions on how to deal with it.

Ryan walked out of the living room and entered another reception room. He called Nicole's contact number in Europe, and a very familiar voice came from the opposite side.

"Hi Ryan, is there something wrong with calling this time?"

"That's right, Nicole, your female classmate..." Ryan found that he still didn't know the other person's name until now, so he had to say, "It's the one I met at Anne's house..."

He explained it quickly in concise language, and then quietly waited for Nicole's decision.

"She and I once had a relationship. The apartment in Ximu District has been empty all the time... The key is in the cabinet in my room, you can find it yourself."

Since Nicole said that, Ryan naturally would not object. He deducted the phone number and went straight to the second floor. After entering Nicole's room, he walked to the big bed and opened the white cabinet.

The things inside were very messy, not like Nicole liked to keep it clean at all, but the keys were placed on the top floor, and Ryan discovered it at a glance. After taking them over, he was about to close the cabinet and leave, but was attracted by a bright silver flat metal box.

It seems that I have seen this box? Ryan quickly recalled. Wasn't this the box that happened to catch Nicole when he came to sign a check one night?

Is this a cigarette box? Have you never seen Nicole smoke?

Throwing the key aside, Ryan pulled out the metal cigarette box, and with a light press of his finger, the box opened, with five or six cigarettes inside. Unlike regular round cigarettes, they were twisted and twisted, obviously made of hand-rolled, and with a bit of Nicole's clumsy style when doing fine work.

He took out one of them and put it in front of his nose and sniffed it gently. Even though he was not a smoker in his past and present life, he had always smoked second-hand smoke, which was not the smell of tobacco at all.

With his brows frowned, Ryan quickly took apart one and completely let go of his heart.

This thing is so common in North America. Not to mention adults, more than 80% of middle school students have sucked it. Nicole is a typical Westerner and has lived a good life since childhood. It is normal to have such things.

Is this Nicole's secret?

Ryan was not interested in this thing at all. His slender fingers flexibly restored the disassembled piece back to its original state, and stuffed the box back into the cabinet, thinking, do you want to remind Nicole to completely quit this thing?

Shaking her head, Ryan gave up this plan. Nicole is not a person who is not qualified. She should do anything and should not do anything, she is as clear as herself.

Close the door and Ryan went downstairs to return to the living room. The blonde woman was sitting there slightly uneasy, as if she was a little anxious.

"I'm sorry, I've kept you waiting for a long time."

Ryan greeted her, took the paper and pen and wrote the address, and handed it over with the key, "Nicole has an apartment in Westwood District, with the address and Nicole's contact information on it. You can live there for the time being."

"Thank you."

There should be no way, the other party is not polite.

"By the way, the smaller bedroom in the apartment used to be my room, and there were a lot of things in it. Please pay attention." Ryan remembered his miscellaneous items and reminded him.

“I will pay attention.”

Seeing the blonde leaving in a used car, Ryan suddenly remembered that he forgot to ask her name again.

I can't blame me! Ryan found a reason for himself. If you want to blame, blame the cigarette box. Who made it distract me?

Maybe this is the way that Ni can use to relieve the huge pressure? Ryan unconsciously made excuses for Nicole, and the facts were similar to what he imagined.

Back in his room and sitting at the desk, Ryan gently pulled his knuckles and visited three invitations in front of him. These were the official invitations for the premiere of three movies, namely "The Lion King", "The Sugar-Coated Trap" and "Schindler's List"!

"The Lion King" will be released on Thanksgiving Eve, "The Sugar-Coated Trap" will probably be later, and "Schindler's List" is the latest, and its goal is Oscars.

Despite the strong support from the National Jewish Association, the theater chains that this movie can win are still not ideal, which is the market rule.

"The Lion King" is the focus of thanksgiving Christmas. The cartoons produced by Disney were originally guaranteed by quality. Now with Ryan's name, they are naturally favored by most people in the box office. Even Disney itself is ambitious and intends to compete with the box office record created by "Jurassic Park".

As for "The Sugar-Coated Trap", its novel version also topped the North American best-selling books rankings, with many book fans, and it also reflects a very prominent issue in the United States. The conflict between law and professional ethics will surely attract people's attention.

In this movie, Ryan did not copy the version of his previous life. He compressed the plot and the rhythm was more compact, but retained the ending of the storm of the websites on the other side of his previous life.

After all, the way of thinking between the East and the West is very different. It is one of the rules that Western society advocates. For professions such as lawyers that require great reputation, the professional codes often surpass the law.

Thinking of this movie, Ryan couldn't help but think of Nicole, who went to Europe to participate in a series of commercial activities of Chanel, and probably stayed there for a long time.

Although the real star of "Jurassic Park" is a dinosaur, with the horrifying box office numbers, several of the main actors also benefited a lot. Nicole's career has also gone further, and her appeal in commercial films has become stronger and stronger, stabilizing Julia Roberts, who is constantly regaining popularity.

In the "Batman Forever" performance contract signed with Warner, her salary was as high as 15 million US dollars, and it was only a matter of time before she entered the 20 million club.

Just like most first-line actresses in Hollywood, Nicole's revenue in advertising endorsement far exceeds that in terms of pay. Her beautiful appearance and keen sense of fashion have long become the darling of merchants.
