Chapter 338: Polanski
"Hurry up, Ryan, hurry up, you're too slow, more grinding than a snail in the Sacramento Valley, we're going to miss the plane's takeoff!"
Leaning on Ryan's back, Taylor patted him on the shoulder, screaming excitedly.
"Honey, you seem to have forgotten that we're flying on a private jet." Ryan held the little girl on his back hard, "You're too heavy, Taylor! β
"Too heavy?" Taylor's little head reached over his shoulder, "Ryan, don't you think it's rude to describe a lady like that?" β
"You're just a little bit now." Ryan freed up a hand and pressed her head back, "There's still a long way to go before becoming a lady." β
"Hmph~ wait and see." The little girl's face was full of unconvinced, "When I grow up, I will definitely be taller than Nicole, slimmer than Nat!" β
With this little girl who had to follow him to France with a dead face, Ryan took George and a few people to quickly come to the vicinity of the long-term leased private tarmac, and before he walked in front of his business jet, Taylor on his back began to shout again.
"Wow, the livery of the plane has finally been changed."
She patted Ryan on the shoulder, jumped to the ground, and ran to the nose of the plane in a few steps, pointing to the bright red spray on it, "I declare, this plane belongs to Taylor from now on?" Miss Swift! Ryan, I've decided I won't hate you anymore! β
On the side of the pointed nose, a bright red '13' number is newly painted, and above the number, the word 'TS' in the same color is particularly eye-catching.
This is what the little guy desperately asked for after taking the plane, whether it was Ryan or Nicole's plane, there was her mark on it.
"My dear, what do you like about 13?"
Entering the plane, Ryan pinned the mischievous creature to his seat and fastened her seatbelt. "In our tradition, this is not an auspicious number. β
"That's your tradition, not mine." Taylor said nonchalantly.
"Alright, the truant king, it's about to take off." Ryan snapped the soundproof headset to her ear.
After the plane entered a stable flight state, Taylor couldn't wait to unbuckle his seat belt and take off the headset, "I hate this thing the most." β
"It protects your hearing and protects your future singing career."
"The future is still far away. I really want to grow up right away. β
The little guy rested his chin on the table in front of him, and Ryan gently rubbed her blonde hair, took the fruit basket from the cabinet next to her, and placed it in front of her.
"Take whatever you want."
"I want to eat grapes." The little girl opened her mouth after an 'ah' sound.
Ryan had no choice but to peel the skin and put the flesh in her mouth, Taylor squinting. He seemed to be enjoying himself, "Ryan, you're the best brother." β
"You're the most mischievous sister." Ryan reveals her true nature without mercy.
"Not as strikingly as you, okay?" Taylor couldn't help but flatten his mouth.
"Then you are the cutest sister. You can. Ryan shook his head helplessly, and the little girl suddenly laughed, "That's pretty much it. β
With that, she jumped off the sofa chair. "What about my guitar and banjo, as a bonus, I've decided to perform live for you!"
The plane slowly landed at Charles de Gaulle Airport. Ryan walked out of the airport with the sleeping little girl in his arms, and came to pick up Pie? When Jin Sili saw the two of them, she couldn't help but show an inquiring look.
"No way, she was next to you when you called that day, and she had to come clamoring."
When Ryan got into the car with Taylor in his arms, Kinsley reminded, "You're spoiling her a little too much." β
"Don't talk about us, you're not like that yet." Ryan gestured to Kinsley to drive.
Maybe it's because he hasn't started a family and has no children, Pie? Like Nicole and Ryan, Kingsley treats Taylor very well.
"There aren't enough setbacks, and it's bad for Taylor's future."
"What's the disadvantage?"
Probably the vibration of the car woke her up, and Taylor opened her royal blue eyes in a daze, "We're in Paris?" β
As he spoke, he jumped out of his seat and leaned on the window to look out, "This is my first time in Paris." β
"Take a turn from the Champs-ΓlysΓ©es and the Seine and back to the hotel." Ryan said to the driver.
Him and Roman? Polanski met about the next afternoon, and after reversing the jet lag, Ryan met the notorious director in an old-fashioned cafΓ©.
The director, who almost died in a Nazi concentration camp as a child, is extremely famous throughout the Western world, and most of this fame does not come from his work, even if his work is good and famous.
In Roman? Polanski's body has twice shocked Hollywood, and even shocked the whole United States.
In 1969, Roman? Polanski travels to Europe to shoot a movie, and one early morning, when a servant he hires goes to work in his mansion, he finds that his pregnant wife, Sharon? Tate, who is also a famous Hollywood movie star, was tortured to death, and the worst of them was slashed more than sixty times. Tate and the baby in her womb were stabbed at least 16 times......
The murderer is the well-known cult organization 'Manson Family', and the main messenger is their leader Charlie? Manson, although he later caught the murderer and sentenced him to life imprisonment, to this day, the murderer's motive for killing is still impossible to talk about, and even many media suspect that Roman? Polanski himself played an inglorious role in it.
Many members of the Manson family, who are still active in all corners of North America, are a bunch of crazy people who have assassinated President Ford.
Among the Hollywood stars, there is also Charlie? Followers of Manson.
As for the second thing, is it Roman? A stain that Polanski could not erase for the rest of his life.
Maybe it's the pain of losing a wife and a child, Roman? Polanski's personality, like his work, darkened day by day, and in 1978, he was joined by the famous movie star and talented actor Jack Brown. Nicholson's home seduced and raped the 13-year-old girl star Samanta, and then fled to France, shocking the entire Western world.
Even now, Samanta himself has long since withdrawn the lawsuit against him. The U.S. Department of Justice has been staring at him, Roman? Not only did Polanski not dare to return to North America, but he rarely even left France, which was at odds with the United States, and his native Poland.
This is also the reason why Ryan made a special trip, after all, the other party has special conditions, and if he leaves France, he may not be detained by any country, and then extradited back to the United States.
In his previous life, he was under house arrest for nearly a year in Switzerland, a permanently neutral country, for which he paid nearly $5 million in bail.
Of course, Ryan doesn't care about any of this, and Hollywood has never judged an actor's or director's achievements by their moral qualities. Or Woody? Alan won't be nominated for Oscars one after another, Roman? Polanski will not have such a big scandal, and he can still win the best director statuette, even if he does not dare to go to the awards ceremony to accept the award.
"I've finished reading the script."
Roman, who is already in his sixties? Polanski sat across from Ryan and patted the script bound together, "Even for someone like me, who lived through that nightmare firsthand, the script I wrote was nothing more than that. β
"Thank you." Ryan took his coffee, silent.
"But I don't think you're a good actor for Mr. Spearman." Although sitting across from Zhilu Road is Hollywood's newly rising supernatural figure, Roman? Polanski doesn't mean anything euphemistic.
"For what? Age? β
Ryan believes. It's definitely not a matter of appearance, hair can be dyed black, and in his previous life, Polanski's favorite actor was not Adrian? Brody. And Ralph? Fiennes.
That's right, it's the madman and murderer in Schindler's List.
"Although others say that you are a genius, you are too young, are you familiar with that history? Do you have that kind of life experience? β
"Mr. Polanski. I participated in Schindler's List, and in the first half of the year, I went to Jerusalem's Avenue of the Righteous and the Holocaust Memorial. I know no less about that history than anyone else. Slowly placing the coffee cup on the table, Ryan gently twitched his knuckles, waiting for the other to say something next.
Roman? Polanski shook his head, picked up the coffee cup in front of him, and stopped talking.
It seems that he is going to run for nothing, Ryan sighed in his heart, the other party is the first choice, but not the only choice, no one is indispensable in Hollywood, it seems that he is going to take back the script, Hollywood or Europe, there should be many Jewish directors who are interested in this subject, and Roman is missing? Polanski's personal experience and dark and cold style are just a little more troublesome.
"Mr. Polanski......"
Ryan just wanted to get back to the script, Roman? Polanski suddenly put down his coffee cup, "I'll take this directorial job!" β
Sure enough, it's a guy with a weird personality. Ryan couldn't help but slander, the other party must have made a decision before he came, but he had to go around in such a big circle.
"I have a few conditions, which I would like to explain beforehand."
"Speak." Ryan made a gesture of please.
"The location for the film was either France or Poland, and Warsaw was the first choice."
"No problem!"
Even if he doesn't say it, Ryan will definitely do it, and he is worried that he will be arrested if he chooses another country, and the director will be arrested before the filming of his crew is finished.
"I want all the rights of the crew, including the final editing rights, and of course you can send in the financial supervision."
"None of this is a problem!" Ryan spread his hands.
"Ryan, while your script is cold enough from the perspective of Mr. Spearman as a bystander, I'm going to shoot in a much more cold and dark style, and I want to make that clear up front so that there is no disagreement in post-production."
After Ryan nodded, Polanski stood up and said before leaving, "Let your agent contact my agent as soon as possible, I need enough time to prepare before the film starts." (To be continued......)
