Chapter 351 A volleyball
After confirming the director, Jenkins Film began to look for suitable personnel and form a crew. This series has its own characteristics. The main cast and crew members in the future are likely to live in London for a long time. Therefore, in addition to Chris Columbus' team, British staff will be preferred.
Ryan specially found Michael Barnathan from Warner Bros. to serve as another producer to assist Chris Columbus in handling the crew's chores.
In addition, Jenkins Film has contacted the British media under News Corp. It will issue advertisements for audition actors after the New Year. With the hype ability of these guys, Harry Potter's actor selection will definitely become the most concerned thing in British life next year.
These things are too anxious. Ryan is planning to spend more than half a year next year to complete the actor audition. Even if the Harry Potter series is famous around the world, especially in the Western world, due to his relationship, it will be far better than its previous life. Hype and publicity are still an indispensable means.
The focus at this stage is naturally "The Rest of the Desert Island". After the trailer was released, this movie became the most eye-catching focus of Christmas. Who made its screenwriter and starring Ryan?
Especially the character in the trailer, which is completely different from the previous ones, is believed by many media to be Ryan's work in which he breaks through his inherent acting skills and transformation.
Although there are many movies released this year and have achieved huge profits in box office and derivatives, Jenkins Pictures has not expanded much in size, and the number of staff has been extremely limited. The three-story independent office building that originally belonged to Carlock Pictures is still spacious and empty.
Perhaps inspired by Pixar Studios, Julius Stewart and Mario Casa converted the huge idle warehouse on the first floor into an employee park, which not only contained small pastry shops and cafes, but also specially established an exhibition area for films produced by the company to place monumental posters and props.
After finishing work, Ryan did not find Natalie and the others in the editing room. After a brief question, he found them. The three girls were sitting on rattan tables and chairs, tasting the Black Forest cake while pointing fingers at the exhibition area near before him.
"Did you see that necklace? That's the famous 'Heart of the Ocean'."
He has been playing here with Christine Stewart since he was a child. Taylor is very familiar with Jenkins Films. "It's a pity that such a beautiful necklace is synthesized by James's big beard."
"And that draft." Scarlett Johnson gave Natalie a weird smile, "that's the best sketch Ryan painted for Ruth..."
"Dear Scar, that was drawn by James Cameron in Miss Winslet's bikini photo." Ryan picked up Taylor, put her on the other side regardless of the little guy's objection, and sat next to Natalie, "Scar, if you talk bad things behind you, your nose will grow longer."
"I didn't say anything." Scarlett stuck out his tongue playfully.
Out of sight of several people, Miss Taylor Swift subconsciously touched her nose, as if she was worried that it would suddenly grow longer.
"I want something to eat? I'll help you." Natalie stood up.
"It's OK just like you."
After Natalie left, Ryan took the juice that Taylor had not turned on and poured a full glass for herself. The little girl muttered dissatisfiedly, "When did Ryan become a thief?"
After Ryan habitually rubbed her curls, Natalie put them in front of him with the black woods cake and asked with concern. "You are on a diet, isn't it okay to eat these?"
"It won't be affected if you taste it a little." Ryan took a small bite, and the taste was very similar to that in Pixar's restaurant. It seemed that the pastry chef here had specially studied there, "It tasted very good."
"It's better than what you and Nat made." Taylor wiped the corners of his mouth and asked curiously, "Isn't "The Rest of the Island" finished filming? Why have you started dieting again?"
"Because his next role is a pianist who has been in a hungry state for a long time, and he may even starve to death at any time." Natalie pulled Taylor to her and carefully wiped off the remaining food slags for her. "When he returns from Europe next year, he may be blown to Nedahua by the sea breeze in California."
"Poor Ryan." Taylor showed sympathy and looked at Scarlett, "Dear, you should learn more from Ryan."
"Shut up, Alison!" Scarlett gave her a pair of white eyes.
"Okay, okay."
Taylor jumped back to his seat, and rarely retorted, but sighed, "It seems that being an actor is painful. I'll be a singer in the future."
"Dear, what have you been doing recently? I haven't come to the set to see me." Natalie looked at the little guy curiously. When she came to Los Angeles before, the other party would come to the crew almost the next day, but this time she visited the set less frequently.
"I'm practicing," Taylor said extremely seriously. "Smart is a gift, not a privilege, so I have to work hard!"
Several people showed encouraging smiles at the same time. Ryan could feel that after returning from London, although Taylor was still naughty and naughty, he was much more restrained than before, and the number of times he came out to play was significantly reduced.
Maybe she has become more sensible as she gets older, or maybe she has played a role in her last conversation in London, and she has indeed worked harder than before.
"Wait, Nat." Taylor jumped out of the seat and ran to the exhibition area. "I'll let you see something interesting."
The little girl turned around and turned into the back of a support post. Not long after, she ran back, with a volleyball and a poster in her hand.
After Scarlett simply packed the table, Taylor placed the volleyball and the poster on it, "This is Ryan's only companion on the deserted island, and there are posters. You should have seen it. My dear brother Ryan, he has become Uncle Ryan."
"It's still a weird uncle." Scarlett Johnson covered his mouth and laughed, "I hope your fans won't be sad about it."
"I believe they will adapt quickly." Ryan grabbed the volleyball and looked at the red face made with his hands as props. "I can't always play the roles like Frank Jr. and Jack Dawson."
"This is a very wise choice." In Natalie's eyes, she clearly showed that she finally took you on the right path.
"This is a change that must be made to win the Oscar for Best Actor." Ryan's words made Natalie roll his eyes unconsciously, and said, "Okay, Ryan, in your eyes, art is always for money and individuals, right?"
"Stop, Nat!" Ryan directly sent the volleyball 'Wilson' to Natalie. "If we really want to debate, we will argue that there will be no result until next year."
"Okay." Natalie shrugged, her little hand gestured on the red face of the volleyball, "Is this the original prop?"
"Hmm~"
Before Ryan could answer, Taylor nodded and explained the gossip she heard to Natalie. "'Wilson's face was made of Ryan's palm with red dye. This is the original prop. It is said that Wilson paid three million dollars to obtain the copyright of this volleyball, and the movie will be released after it is released."
"Dear, maybe I should choose you to take charge of this company." Ryan rubbed his forehead. The little guy was concerned about too much, "Where did you find out about this news?"
"I won't tell you." Taylor wrinkled his nose and approached Natalie a little, "Tell you a secret, Nat, "The Rest of the Island" has recovered half of the cost before it has been released."
Speaking of the money making in movies, Natalie knows that there are not many people in Hollywood who can compare to their boyfriends.
"Will Nicole come back at the premiere?"
Shortly after the North Hollywood incident in 1997, Natalie confirmed that Nicole Kidman was disgusted with her. Due to Ryan's affection, she couldn't say anything, so she simply minimized the number of encounters between the two parties as much as possible to avoid unhappiness.
In her opinion, Ryan has become independent, and the possibility of intersection with the other party in the future may be infinitely smaller.
"No." Ryan shook his head, "The Matrix is about to be closed. Nicole has no time, and she will spend Christmas with Anne in Sydney."
"Anne?"
"Nicole's sister." Taylor explained first.
The four of them chatted for a while and were about to leave the company and return to Beverly Hills. When Taylor returned the volleyball and posters, he asked with a gaze, "Ryan, can I take Mr. Wilson away?"
"When I go out, I will have someone give you one."
When the little girl heard Ryan's words, she was not happy, but instead followed him with her head down, muttering to the point of not knowing what she was saying.
"What's wrong, Taylor?" Natalie walked over and held the little girl's hand and asked, "What are you... calculating?"
"I'm calculating how much pocket money I have."
"Pocket money?"
"Yes, Nat." The little guy frowned. "I heard Aunt Julius say that the original Mr. Wells will be sent to a charity auction after the New Year. This is a unique volleyball game. I want to buy it."
Hearing her words, Ryan and Natalie laughed. Taylor was indeed restrained a lot. If it were the past, he would have been holding him and left. How could he have done this?
This performance is also specifically for Ryan and Natalie, who took her other hand, "I promise, my dear, Mr. Wilson will be your New Year's gift."
"The Rest of the Desert Island" is about to be released. As in the past, Ryan handed over the publicity work to Jenkins Films professionals, and his agency and public relations team have become active again. Their shadows can be seen behind traditional media and emerging websites.
