Chapter 350: Determining the Director
Frowning, Ryan looked at Natalie on the tennis court, the Long Island girl was being tortured by Taylor, sighed softly, and said loudly, "Honey, you go on, I'm a guest." ”
"You feel free." Natalie took the moment to wave her hand.
Before returning to the villa, Ryan walked into the living room, only to see a blonde woman with her hands on her chest, admiring the Oscar golden figure in the glass cabinet, she was wearing blue and black tight slacks, leather boots of the same color, and a short shirt jacket on the upper body, showing off her slender and graceful figure.
"Hi, Charlie."
The South African diamond seemed to be in a trance, and Ryan had no choice but to say hello.
"Ah...... "Charlize?" Theron turned his head, first smiling embarrassedly, then noticing Ryan's dress, and asked curiously, "Exercising?" ”
"Playing tennis with a few friends." Ryan motioned for her to sit down and asked, "Why are you here?" ”
"I came to thank you." Charlize? Theron pursed his lips slightly.
"Thank you?" Ryan was a little weird.
"I've called a few times, but you always say you're busy, so I have to come to the door." Charlize? Theron's eyes swept over his sportswear, even if Ryan's skin was thick enough, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, South African diamonds were very careful, and did not let this atmosphere last, continued, "Some time ago, the Golden Globe Awards announced the list of nominees, and "Perfect" brought me a nomination for Best Actress in a Drama, I always wanted to thank myself in person, but I didn't have a chance to ......"
Ryan then remembered that after the release of "Perfect", Charlize? Theron received unanimous praise, and in the past life Helen? Hunter can win the Oscar for Best Actress for this role, and it is normal for her to be nominated for a Golden Globe Award, and if the public relations are effective, it is not impossible to be nominated for the Oscar for Best Actress.
"That's congratulations." Ryan thought for a moment, "I'll inform Pat." Do your best to fight for it. ”
Compared with the Oscars, the Golden Globes are still more susceptible to external factors. Theron's qualifications, if you want to win the Oscar for Best Actress convincingly, it is almost impossible, and the Golden Globe Award is still hopeful.
Ryan ......
Charlize? Before Theron could speak, she heard the crisp laughter of several girls outside, and then three girls in sportswear walked in, the youngest one she knew, and the other two were not very familiar. I've heard a lot about them before.
"Ryan? Is this your guest? Taylor opened his mouth at the urging of Natalie's fingers behind him, "It looks familiar." ”
"Charlize, is this Natalie? Portman, Scarlett? Johnson ...... "Without waiting for Ryan to introduce, the little girl spoke on her own, "I'm Taylor?" Swift. ”
"Hi everyone, I'm Charlize? Theron, you can call me Charlie. ”
Charlize? Theron generously stretched out his hand. shook hands with the three of them one by one, and even Ryan didn't notice that when she and Natalie's hands were shaken, an inexplicable meaning flashed in her eyes.
"Ryan. I went to change my clothes. Natalie pulled the two girls up, turned into the hallway on the other side, and pushed open the door to the dressing room.
"What is she doing here?" Scarlett muttered, "I heard from the agency. This woman is very scheming. ”
"I guess it's Ryan's friend."
Natalie helped Taylor sort out her clothes and said nonchalantly, "Maybe there's something urgent?" ”
"Nat. You rarely come to Los Angeles. You may not know what to do. "Scarlett? Johnson leaned over to Natalie and reminded, "She seems to have a good relationship with Ryan, and being nominated for a Golden Globe is because of Ryan's recommended role." Nat, you've never gotten it, she's a threat......"
"Hey, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand? Taylor protested.
"I mean ......"
After being pulled down by Natalie, Scarlett? Johnson obediently closed his mouth.
"What the hell is it?" She was too curious.
"Honey, you'll understand when you grow up."
Although Natalie treats her like a sister, she understands that this little guy is a standard big mouth, and there are many people who know and are familiar with her in the circle, and after learning any secrets, she may not know how to spread them everywhere.
After changing clothes, Taylor sat down in a chair to the side, sullenly taking out the lollipop and chewing it crunchy.
"What are we going to do next?" She asked with a grunt.
"Going to play billiards or video games?" Scarlett? Johnson proposed.
"No, let's go to the living room."
Natalie put on her leather boots and walked out of the locker room first, and Scarlett stuck out her tongue behind her, pulled Taylor and chased after her.
In the large empty living room, Ryan and Charlize? Theron sipped his coffee and talked about their recent situation, and the South African diamond was as careful as ever, and it was easy to find a topic that interested both of them at the same time.
"It's a shame you didn't go to France in the summer." Charlize? Theron was referring to this year's World Cup in France, "No one expected that Brazil would surrender so easily in the final, and the omnipotent Ronaldo had no way to face the French defence." ”
"I see a lot of people in the report blaming this game for being problematic." Ryan remembered a lot of rumors from his past life.
"Who knows?" Charlize? Theron shrugged, "After hearing what you said about FIFA, I also think that the World Cup is far from what I imagined, and I also bought Brazil to win, but I lost a lot of money. ”
"How much?" Ryan laughed.
"A few thousand dollars." Charlize? Theron smiled back with a big smile in return, "It's just a casual play." ”
"Don't you like football a lot? Why didn't you go to France? She asked again.
"Ryan is too busy."
Without waiting for Ryan to answer, the crisp female voice next to him picked up the conversation, "He's been flying around all summer." ”
After Natalie finished speaking, she took the other two girls and sat down on the couch next to Ryan.
"Ryan, can I invite you to England over the Christmas holidays?" Charlize? Theron's gaze subconsciously swept over Natalie's face, which was unusually calm.
"I'm sorry." This is not the time to hesitate, Ryan quickly shook his head, ""The Aftermath of Desert Island" was chosen in the Christmas file. ”
"It's okay, I was negligent." She then changed her tone. "Then it's always okay to invite me to your premiere, right?"
"Of course."
This is a normal communication, and Ryan naturally will not refuse.
"Alright, I'll be there on time."
Charlize? Theron's eyes drifted over Natalie's face again, and he shook his head secretly and stood up, "That's all for today, Ryan, I should go back." ”
"I'll have you sent back." Ryan said politely.
"No, I'll drive myself."
Before walking out of the living room, Charlize? Theron looked back and said again. "If I have time, I'll go to USC."
Sending off the South African diamond, Ryan just returned to the living room when he heard Taylor's strange scream from inside, "Wow, the outsiders are gone, now you don't have to pretend to be a lady, you can finally relax." ”
The little girl lay on her back on the large sofa, resting on Natalie's legs. Squinted his eyes, "I'm tired from playing, I'll sleep for a while." ”
"Don't be too accommodating to her." Ryan walked over and rubbed Taylor's blonde hair. He asked, "Nat, you don't need to go out on location in the afternoon, do you?" ”
"Hmm."
In her filming of "The End of the World", Beverly Hills was the main location.
"Then let's eat first. After lunch, go to Jenkins Films. ”
Pulling Taylor up, Ryan beckoned the other two to walk towards the restaurant, "I specifically instructed Lisa. Let the kitchen make your favorite dishes. ”
Ryan asked to meet Chris at Jenkins Films? Columbus, despite the lack of good enough work after the Home Alone series, Ryan made him the first choice.
Coming to Jenkins Films, Natalie took the other two girls to the editing room, she never forgot her dream of directing, and Ryan went straight to the reception room, didn't wait long, Chris? Columbus arrived.
"Ryan, you've grown up in the blink of an eye." Chris? Columbus is arguably one of the most qualified people to say this, and when "Home Alone" was filmed, Ryan was just a skinny kid.
"You're getting old, too, Chris." Ryan made a joke, pointed to the table and asked, "Coffee or black tea?" ”
"Black tea."
After Ryan finished pouring the black tea, he took a sip and asked, "Ryan, what am I for?" Many directors who are better than me have almost struggled for this position. ”
Since Ryan announced that the Harry Potter series of movies is on the agenda, there have been countless self-recommended directors, and everyone knows that this is definitely a good opportunity for fame and fortune.
"Chris, I still remember the scene when I was filming Home Alone, the whole set was like a cheerful party, not only are you good at making movies for all ages, but you are also the director who is the easiest to get along with children."
Ryan made a gesture you understand, "There will be a large group of children in the Harry Potter cast. ”
"Looks like I'm more like a kindergarten principal?" He laughed, and then asked seriously, "Since the third part of the Harry Potter series, it has turned to darkness, and I don't fit that style. ”
"I'll look for the right director then." Ryan filled him with black tea.
"Is the film really going to be made in the UK?"
"Yes." See Ryan nod, Chris? Columbus sighed, "It looks like I'm going to move my family to London for the time being, it's a big project." ”
"So you said yes?" Ryan raised an eyebrow.
"Do I have a choice?"
He himself muttered in his heart that the person who didn't agree must be a fool, "However, I want to double as a producer." ”
"No problem." Ryan agreed without hesitation, and added, "Not only the producer, Chris, but you will also be in charge of the entire casting work, and you will have the final say in the crew's affairs on the film." ”
"What about you, the original author and investor?"
"I believe our opinions are unanimous most of the time."
Ryan and Chris? Columbus laughed at the same time. (To be continued......)
