Chapter 5 Auditions

Compared with London, Los Angeles, where he has lived for seven years, is even more unfamiliar to Ryan, the apartment of that year, after replacing some furniture, became his and Nicole's home again, counting, both he and Nicole, have a lot of money on hand, but the right house is not easy to find, not to mention Nicole is bent on living in Beverly Hills.

"Hell, it's such a hassle for women to change their clothes!"

Seeing that half an hour had passed like this, Ryan waited on the sofa in the living room, and couldn't help muttering.

Jin Sili sat opposite and just smiled, the two had signed a formal contract, after half a month of getting along, she gradually learned some things about the boy, knowing that he was both smart and precocious, and he couldn't treat him as a child at all, and even sometimes she felt that she was talking to a peer.

Ryan looked at the wall clock on the wall, he was really bored, and turned to look at the agent lady, "Pat, hasn't there been any news from the script yet?" ”

"Don't worry, Ryan, I handed the script to Harvey by hand? In Weinstein's hands, I have some relationship with those two brothers, whether they adopt it or give it up, they will notify me as soon as possible. ”

Kingsley had read the script carefully, and although she was a layman to the screenwriting, a haode story always resonated with people, and in her opinion, unless the Weinstein brothers had their heads in water, they would definitely see the value of the script.

Sighing, Ryan knew that he was in a hurry, but the breadth of Kingsley's network really impressed him.

In this case, Ryan is also happy to leave things to her to deal with, as for Nicole, let's be her movie star with peace of mind.

"Ryan." In another room, Nicole's voice came over, "Why is my shoe cabinet locked?" Did you see the key? ”

"Nope." Ryan subconsciously touched the brass key in his pocket and denied it.

"Damn! Are you going to let me go to the audition in slippers? There was another angry voice from Nicole in the room, Ryan rolled his eyes, and said loudly, "Nicole, aren't there the shoes you bought yesterday in the shoe cabinet at the door?" ”

"Really? How I don't remember. ”

Nicole walked out of the room with light makeup, patted her head, opened the shoe cabinet in the hallway, and took out a pair of high heels, which were four inches high, long and pointed, but they were Nicole's favorite.

After putting on the high heels, Nicole became even taller, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of Ryan's mouth, which he had chosen to put in them, hoping that they could come in handy.

The location of the audition was at Paramount, just in case, Ryan used the privilege that belonged to the child, got into the car trickily, and faced Nicole's questioning, he defended himself eloquently, "I just want to see what the audition looks like, besides, the film company doesn't stipulate that you can't bring anyone other to the audition except for the agent." ”

Sitting in the back seat of the moving car, Nicole always felt that the boy was planning something, anyway, the two had lived together for such a long time, and she always had a keen intuition about some of his behavior, but after thinking about it, she didn't notice anything wrong.

On the bench outside the audition room, the three of them waited quietly, Ryan overheard the discussion of several staff members, and then found out that Tom was actually the screenwriter of this movie.

Ryan shook his head, because of the relationship between acting in a stage play in London for more than a year, Nicole's acting skills are several points higher than the same period in her previous life, if she still gets the heroine of this movie, although she can open up the situation in Hollywood, but the title of vase is likely to be solid again, which is not a good thing, she is already too beautiful, if she is buttoned up with such a hat again, it is inevitable that she will not follow the old path of her previous life.

"Ryan, wait here with Pat safely, don't make trouble!" Nicole hadn't forgotten to tell her before she entered the audition room, and it was clear that the boy had been messing around a lot in the past two years.

"Can't I go in and have a look?" Ryan blinked and tried to pretend to be innocent, not to mention, after so many years of acting, he completely deceived the Paramount staff, but he couldn't hide the cold girl who was very familiar with him, Nicole warned directly, "Do you want me to send you to boarding school?" ”

Ryan immediately became honest, but began to muttered in his heart, okay, now that you are my guardian, I don't care about you, and when I am sixteen years old, we will slowly calculate this one-time account.

After being stunned for a while, Ryan simply chatted with Jinsley, and the content of the topic was naturally inseparable from Hollywood, the vanity fair, until more than forty minutes later, Nicole walked out of the audition room, but when she went in, she was alone, and when she came out, it became two people.

As for the extra person, Ryan really doesn't want to see it, it's Tom? Cruise!

Although Tom wears shoes that increase inward, he is much taller than he is actually only five feet seven inches tall, but he is at least five inches shorter than Nicole in high heels.

As soon as Nicole turned her head to speak, she had to look down at Mr. Cruise's movements, and Ryan would be overjoyed that the pair of heels he had specially chosen was not in vain.

However, this scene he carefully planned was destined to only be his own joke, Tom didn't seem to mind Nicole's height, and when he walked up to Ryan and his agent, he sent out an invitation, "Nicole, if you don't mind, can I invite you to dinner?" ”

Mind! I mind very much! Ryan's eyes widened, staring straight at Tom, if his eyes could kill, this suave cream boy would probably be full of holes.

"It's an honor!" Whether in the past life or in this life, Nicole is a long-sleeved and good dancing character, naturally she will not refuse, after thanking her, she originally wanted to introduce the two people in front of her, who knows, Mr. Cruise turned a blind eye at all, and said directly, "There is a restaurant in Beverly Hills that is very distinctive, how about we go there?" ”

"Not good!"

Without waiting for Nicole to answer, Ryan jumped down from the bench, hugged his chest with one hand and pinched his chin with the other, squinted at Tom, deliberately circled around him and Nicole, and suddenly said to Nicole, "Mom, you said you were going to take me to eat Chinese food at night." ”

Mom? Nicole's eyes widened suddenly, but after all, she knew the boy, and instantly figured out that this guy was going to play tricks again.

Brother Tom was so shocked that his jaw almost fell to the floor, he never thought that this Australian girl, who made him extremely amazing, would have such a big son.

"Ryan, what about your etiquette and upbringing?" Although she didn't understand the reason for not going to the house for three days, Nicole knew that she couldn't look good, and after reprimanding him, she explained to Tom, "This is Ryan? Jenkins, my brother, is a little too naughty, Tommy, don't mind. ”

Then he introduced the female broker to Tom? Cruise.

It's better to face Ryan, but when facing Ms. Jinsley, Tom is full of shelf, proud like a peacock on the screen, probably this is the aura of a big star.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Tom? Mr. Crews. ”

Maybe Tom doesn't know that there is a trick called face change in China, but looking at Ryan's current performance, you can get a glimpse of one or two of the true meaning.

Ryan knew that he was a small person, and it was difficult to sway Nicole's opinion on such a trivial matter as a meal unless he was cheating, so he simply took out his autograph book and pen from his backpack and handed them over, "Can you fulfill the wish of a little fan?" ”

"Absolutely." Tom quickly swiped on his notebook, "Ryan, I wish your life will always be full of sunshine and happiness!" ”

As long as you don't snatch my Nicole, there will always be sunshine and joy in my life! That was Ryan's only thought when he put away the autograph.

The Bentley sports car was speeding all the way into the range of Beverly Hills, and Tom? Cruise and Nicole? Kidman, a handsome man and a beautiful woman, no matter how you look at it, they are a natural pair.

But Ryan looked from the back row, and in any case, he felt that the distance between the two men was as far as Sydney to Los Angeles, and if he stretched out his hand in it, he would definitely be able to create a Mariana trench under the calm sea.

What Ryan didn't expect was that Tom seemed to take his words seriously, and actually took them to a Chinese restaurant, looking at MrChow on the signboard, the boy muttered in Chinese, it turned out to be Mr. Zhou's restaurant, I don't know if the taste is authentic or not.

After entering the restaurant, different from Ryan's imagination, the restaurant is Western-style decoration, Tom is a big star after all, and the waiter directly led their group to a quiet partition, and after a few people sat down, the menu was delivered.

Ryan sat next to Nicole, and looked at the waiter quietly, with black eyes, black hair, and yellow skin, he should be a Chinese, looking at his demeanor and temperament, at most, he is a first-generation immigrant, maybe he is still an international student working here, and many college students have come to the United States from the other side this year.

"Ryan, what would you like to eat?"

It was Brother Tom who asked the question, although the boy's behavior was a little out of the way when they first met, but later, whether it was speaking or behaving, he showed good manners and upbringing, and with his somewhat thin appearance, it was difficult not to feel good.

It's a pity, Tom? Cruise wouldn't understand that it was Ryan who didn't mean it.

"Can I order it myself?" Ryan blinked his bright eyes, no matter how he looked at it, he was a very cute boy, and Tom laughed directly, "Of course you can." But, Ryan, do you know Chinese food? ”

"Ryan is actually learning about Chinese culture and has some knowledge of Eastern food and customs." It seems that the knowledge that Ryan has mastered is Nicole's greatest pride.

Tom? Cruise just smiled and handed the menu to the boy, Ryan glanced at this menu full of English, probably because of the translation, the names of most of the dishes were difficult for him to understand, so he scratched his head, looked at the Chinese waiter, and asked, "Is there a Chinese menu?" ”

"Medium...... Chinese? ”

Ryan asked in slightly sandwiched Mandarin, which the waiter could obviously understand, but it was still fluent in Chinese, and it came out of the mouth of a blonde and blue-eyed little devil, which made him unconsciously stunned.

"Sorry, we don't have a Chinese menu."

Just as Ryan guessed, this waiter is really an international student, and while he is secretly scolding in his heart, he is expressing apologies in his mouth.

"Okay then." Ryan only thought about it for a moment, and then burst out with a string of hometown dish names, "Fried sea cucumber with green onions, Texas grilled chicken, nine turns of large intestine, sweet and sour carp and kung pao chicken." ”

The waiter couldn't help but fall a black line all over his head, he didn't expect this little ghost guy to be so familiar with domestic cuisine, and he hadn't eaten some of the names he reported.

Of course, there are no Texas grilled chicken, nine-turn large intestine and sweet and sour carp, and after the waiter explained a few words, Ryan didn't want to embarrass people, so he asked Nicole's opinion, and asked for spinach boiled prawns, Huadiao Fugui chicken, crab roe xiaolongbao, and specially asked for a boiled pork slice separately.

Since it is Chinese and Western food, after Tom ordered the meal, Ryan specially instructed in Chinese, "My dishes should be authentic Chinese methods, and boiled meat slices should be filled with chili peppers and red oil, and you must eat a bite that can be spicy and sweaty." ”

The waiter carefully recorded Ryan's request, but after turning around, he rolled his eyes, hell little ghost, aren't you afraid of being spicy to death by chili peppers?
