The black Bentley Elegance stopped in front of the Century City shopping plaza, Ronan got out of the car with his things, raised his hand and looked at his watch, walked towards the main entrance of the mall, and soon entered a chain hamburger fast food restaurant, did not go to the front desk to order, and walked towards the store.

There weren't many people in the store, and a girl with long golden curly hair was waving in the booth in the corner: "Ronan, this way." ”

Ronan immediately walked over, pulled out a chair and sat opposite, and said with a smile, "Good afternoon, Amanda." ”

Amanda Seyfried tilted her head to look at Ronan and said, "You seem to be stronger." ”

Ronan said honestly, "I've been working out. ”

"I see. Amanda nodded and asked, "Are you hungry?" ”

Ronan took out his wallet from his briefcase: "I'd better go." ”

Amanda stood up: "Didn't you say okay, I'm in for a treat today." ”

"Okay. Ronan was also polite: "You can watch and buy it." ”

Amanda smiled, and seemed to be very happy to invite Ronan to dinner, and went to the front desk to order food with a little excitement, and it didn't take long for her to return with a large tray full of fast food such as fried chicken and burgers.

"It's hearty. "Ronan is very face-saving.

Amanda returned to the chair opposite and said, "Eat, don't be polite to me." ”

Ronan grabbed a burger and took a big bite to eat, and Amanda did the same, picked up another burger and ate it too.

"It tastes good. Ronan swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "The sauce used is special. ”

Amanda's mouth was stuffed with food, her cheeks on both sides bulging high, and she seemed to answer a few words, but she only made a whining sound, and she couldn't hear what was said.

She hurriedly swallowed the food and wanted to talk to Ronan, but she was a little too anxious, and suddenly choked, and her already big eyes instantly widened.

Ronan took a glass of happy water and stuffed it to Amanda, who took a big sip and burped before saying, "Eat too fast, a little choked." ”

"Don't worry. Ronan pointed to the happy water, "Drink some more." ”

Amanda bit the straw, took another sip, and said embarrassedly, "Am I too unladylike?"

Ronan smiled and said, "It's okay, eat a fast food, we don't pay so much attention to it." ”

Amanda pinned a strand of long blonde hair behind her ear and said, "Let's go on." ”

Ronan could tell that Amanda Seyfried liked to eat this kind of fast food, and answered, continuing to deal with the burger in front of him.

Just like the last time, Ronan ate a burger and didn't move again, and Amanda not only ate her share of the burger and the drumsticks, but also killed Ronan's drumsticks.

No wonder it's so well developed. Ronan finally understood that he could only grow by eating and drinking.

Amanda drank the last sip of happy water, smiled embarrassedly, and said, "Mom usually doesn't let me eat these things, so I finally came out once......"

Ronan listened to Amanda's words, nodded his head from time to time and said a few words, and the two were like ordinary friends, chatting together about various topics.

"Is your mother still very strict?" Ronan asked.

"yes. Amanda's face was full of distress: "I will be sixteen years old by the end of the year, and I have no freedom at all. ”

She muttered, "Even if my mother doesn't have time, she will let my uncle look at me, as if I will run away if I am not careful." ”

Ronan asked curiously, "Your uncle didn't accompany you today?"

Amanda shook her head: "No, I said it to see you, and my mother agreed." ”

Ronan touched his nose, and it seemed that Mrs. Seyfried was quite comfortable with him.

Amanda said at this time: "Uncle Conan is very long-winded, always asking curious questions, and thinks that it is not normal for us to be friends. ”

Ronan frowned: "How could he think that?"

Could it be that people named Conan are born to be so troublesome? If there is no trouble, they should find some trouble?

"Leave him alone. Amanda waved her hand and strengthened her tone: "It's normal for us to be friends." ”

Ronan said, "It's normal. Not wanting to dwell on the topic, he instead asked, "Amanda, how is it last time you said you were going to apply to high schools in Los Angeles?"

Amanda said with a little excitement: "It's passed! After this summer, I'll go to Berkeley High School for high school and stay in Los Angeles for a long time." ”

The hand she put on the table quietly reached over, touched Ronan intentionally or unintentionally, and said, "I can call you at any time in the future to ask you to come out for a burger." ”

Ronan smiled and said, "Available." ”

Amanda was visibly happy and said, "I can't wait for my high school career to begin." It is said that high school life is very interesting, and there are various clubs......"

Most of the time, it was Amanda Seyfried who said that Ronan was playing the role of a listener.

Perhaps because the parents of the family are too strict, Amanda Seyfried usually rarely communicates with other people, resulting in a lot of talk in front of Ronan.

Ronan occasionally interjects a few words, and Anderson Jr. also went to high school in the United States, so he has some insight in this regard.

Gradually, the topic turned to the movie.

"I went to the post-dub of Resident Evil last week. Amanda said, "When is this film going to be released?"

Ronan said honestly: "It will be next spring at the earliest." He thought of the purpose of his visit and asked, "Amanda, have you recently taken a new job?"

Amanda Seyfried shook her head: "After the last time the producer did, I didn't take on other people's films, and I was a little scared ......"

Ronan knew what she was talking about, and opened his mouth to comfort him, only to suddenly find that he was running out of words, because the odds of encountering something like this again were too high.

This is a microcosm of the Hollywood environment.

Amanda Seyfried opened her big eyes, glanced at Ronan secretly, and said, "I think it's still fun to work with you." ”

Ronan thought about it, simply opened the briefcase, took out a document, and handed it to Amanda: "It was originally for your mother, you can take a look first, go back to your mother." Your mother is still your agent, right?"

"yes. Amanda quickly took it and said, "Is this a new script?"

Ronan nodded lightly: "A secret agent action movie, there is a high school student character in it, which is very suitable for you." ”

Amanda hurriedly opened the script and read it carefully.

Ronan didn't speak, leaving time for Amanda to read, and looking at Amanda who was reading carefully, he suddenly thought of Tom Cruise.

According to Tom Cruise, when he was fifteen or sixteen years old, it was very difficult to even read newspapers, let alone read literature.

It seems that there are many teenagers in the United States who are in a similar situation.

Dyslexia in English seems to be a relatively common phenomenon.

The script that Ronan brought was only a part, mainly about the character of his daughter Kimmy, and Amanda's reading ability was not a problem, and she finished reading it quickly.

She blinked her big bright eyes and asked Ronan, "...... this story?"

Amanda didn't seem to know what to say, scratched her blonde hair before she could figure out the words: "Ronan, is this story what you imagined?"

Instead of answering, Ronan asked, "Why do you say that?"

Amanda closed the script and said, "It sounds like an exaggeration to kidnap young girls who travel and use drugs to control them. ”

Hearing this, Ronan was stunned for a moment, and then he figured it out.

Amanda Seyfried's family conditions are not particularly good, but they are not bad, and they can be classified as middle-class white people, coupled with Mrs. Seyfried's protection and the girl's fantasy that the world is always better, she rarely has access to the dark side of society.

Ronan said: "That's not an exaggeration. Amanda, the prototype of this story, was told by a French police officer during my participation at the Cannes Film Festival last year. ”

Of course, this is nonsense, but Ronan has a good opinion of Amanda Seyfried and decides to remind the young girl: "I learned from the police officer that there is a criminal gang in the city of Paris that hides their true identity and specializes in forcibly taking young women, and then these girls will be taken to a luxurious villa on the outskirts of Paris, where they will be auctioned off. ”

Amanda was obviously a little shocked, her eyes widened, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

Ronan said with a smile: "Don't run around, don't have too much contact with unfamiliar people, the probability of this kind of thing happening is still very small." ”

Amanda looked down at the script and said, "After reading this story, I suddenly feel that society is so dangerous. ”

Ronan took the opportunity to say: "In this society, human traffickers are everywhere, but not everyone has an agent dad. ”

This film seems to be dark and realistic, but in fact it is romantic in nature, a retired American agent, whose daughter is kidnapped by traffickers in Paris and sold as a prostitute, and whose father goes to Paris alone, fights the entire gang alone, and at the same time faces the attack of the corrupt Paris police circle, "enemies of the whole country", and finally can rescue his daughter.

Amanda Seyfried suddenly looked a little thoughtful, and after a while, said to Ronan, "Thank you, Ronan. ”

"Huh?" Ronan wondered, "Thank me for what?"

Amanda smiled sweetly, "I know, you're reminding me in this way that I can feel your camaraderie and care." ”

Ronan felt the urge to cover his forehead, and Amanda Seyfried was clearly overthinking.

However, he didn't explain too much, saying, "Are you interested in this role?"

Amanda nodded hurriedly: "I like your script and characters." ”

Ronan reminded: "Remember to give the script to your mother, and if your mother agrees, let her go to Shahai Entertainment to talk to George Clint about your role in this film." ”

From what he knew, Mrs. Seyfried would probably enjoy this kind of educational theme for young girls, and would definitely let Amanda Seyfried take over the role.

The filming process of this film can be regarded as a re-education of the dark side of society.
