Chapter 260: Where to Sleep Tonight
Despite being held back in Pittsburgh by the terrible weather, this record-breaking first-week box office figure made the crew excited, especially the staff like Cameron, who had been involved in the preparation since the end of '93, and the excitement was indescribable.
The work that I have put in for several years of energy in exchange for great honor is like spiritual opium, which will make people intoxicated.
In addition to the excitement, a celebration is inevitable, and Ryan specially instructed the hotel, from wine to food, to use the best, and he personally paid for it.
"Titanic" took the first step towards great success!
After just a few testimonials, Ryan quit Pai Duì and set out on his way to New York in a rented car and in the pouring rain.
The gloomy weather, slippery roads, unfamiliar surroundings and slow speed all made it impossible for Ryan to reach New York in less than six hours.
"The great Titanic! Record-breaking first-week box office in North America! An unprecedented $109,530,000! ”
got the first-hand news of Jenkins Films, and Yahoo published the box office of "Titanic" in the most prominent position on the homepage!
The timeliness advantage of online media far exceeds that of traditional media, and this is undoubtedly revealed!
Not only Yahoo, but the major portals published this absolutely powerful news almost at the same time, and Ryan's personal website was boiling with joy, and the super high traffic almost overwhelmed the server.
From this day on, as long as there is a movie theater where "Titanic" is released, it has definitely become the most densely populated place in the United States. Long queues to buy tickets outside the theater have almost become the norm, and there are not a few viewers who have seen it three, five or even ten times.
Jack and Ruth became the most frequently mentioned names. Ryan? Jenkins and James? Cameron became the hottest topic in the nation.
"Don't worry, Mom, I'll take care of it myself."
In a two-story cottage in the Long Island area, Natalie drops her mother to the door.
"Nat, why do you have to move out today?" Lady Shelly was a little strange.
"Nothing, Mom." Natalie looked at the lightning bolts connected to the power grid outside, "You and Dad have celebrated my birthday." I wanted to spend my first day of sixteen alone. ”
"Alright, Nat." Mrs. Shelly understood her daughter's eagerness to become independent.
Seeing off her mother, Natalie closed the door. Looking at the clock on the wall, it was almost eight o'clock in the evening, but the person who had been waiting for it never appeared.
"It's all damn weather!" Natalie's extremely rare whispered curse.
Flights at several New York airports have all been halted, and the highway to Pennsylvania is said to have been caused by a car accident. Traffic jam......
I touched my mobile phone. Natalie suppressed her desire to dial that number, and now is the busiest period for the promotion of "Titanic", perhaps he has released his own pigeons as he has done in the past.
Thinking of this, Natalie couldn't help biting her lower lip, all the media always praised him for keeping his word and doing what he said, but who knows. How many times has he made his promise to himself?
He is definitely the one who has been released the most pigeons by him. Credibility? You've never had credibility with me!
Walking back to the bedroom, Natalie sat at the dresser, always feeling a little resentful.
However, thinking of the qiē that happened at the end of February, all of this faded, and all along, she knew that she was in Ryan's heart, just as Ryan was in her heart, and had an extremely important place.
That time, Natalie felt it completely.
Maybe Ryan has such and such shortcomings that she is not used to, and the two have huge differences in their treatment of certain things, but there is never perfection in this world......
Staring at the mirror, Natalie couldn't help pinching her face, even if she was always confident and proud, she knew that she was not very beautiful, if it wasn't for her outstanding temperament, she could only be regarded as a very ordinary girl in terms of appearance.
There has never been a shortage of beautiful women in Hollywood, and Natalie knows this very well, and she also knows that with Ryan's current talent and status, there will always be some women who want to be famous, whether overtly or secretly, who will beat his idea.
But do they know him? Got him? Do you know his aesthetic?
And what about yourself?
Natalie has been a winner in life since the day she became sensible, just like she chose the path of an actress despite her father's strong opposition, she deeply understands a truth, some things have to be fought for by yourself, or even robbed!
What's more, although he didn't say it, she could feel that he was indeed different from herself.
Time passed little by little, and Natalie kept looking out of the second-floor window at the villa, which he knew the address even though he had never been there......
It was raining heavily, and in the dark night sky, only dim lights could be seen, and the whole city was silent as if it were dead.
Natalie felt her heart split in half, one half complaining about why he didn't come, the other half worried that he was on his way, and that such bad weather, no matter what means of transportation, was dangerous.
The hour hand slowly pointed to eleven o'clock, Natalie bit her lip, cleaned up the bed and prepared to rest, her head unconsciously turned, thinking about how to get the day's account back when they met next time!
And not just today! How many times has he released his pigeons in the past?
This account must be calculated well, slowly, anyway, one is seventeen years old, one is sixteen years old, and there will be time in the future.
Suddenly, the dim light reflected on the window facing the street, judging from the shaking situation, it seemed to be the headlights of the car, I don't know if it was an illusion, Natalie vaguely seemed to hear the sound of the engine.
Could it be......
The doorbell rang from the first floor, and Natalie's brown eyes burst into light, although the voice became more and more urgent, her heart was settled, and she walked out of the room unhurriedly, went down the stairs, and came to the door, just glanced at the cat's eye, and the corners of her mouth bloomed with a confident smile.
You've always been a winner, haven't you?
"Hi Nat, happy birthday, it's a little late, but it's finally in time."
Looking at Natalie who opened the door, Ryan wiped his face and brushed away the water droplets on it, but unfortunately a lot of wet hair flowed onto his face.
"Ryan, how did you become like this?" I couldn't really see it from the cat's eye just now, and Natalie quickly pulled him into the room, "Didn't you bring rain gear?" ”
"I came in a bit of a hurry, and I forgot about it."
Scratching his wet hair, Ryan handed over the thing he was holding in his left hand, which was a red rose that had been beaten by the rain, "Sorry, Nat, I realized that I forgot to buy a gift after entering Long Island, and happened to pass by a garden where I stole a few roses. ”
Natalie slowly bit her lower lip and swept her eyes up and down, showing that Ryan's pants and shoes were visibly covered with dirty dirt......
"It's okay, Ryan." Natalie took the rose and smiled happily, "This is the second best birthday present I've ever received." ”
"Oh, what's the first best?"
As soon as Ryan finished asking, he saw Natalie's other hand on her neck, on top of which was a black leather necklace, and at the bottom of the necklace hung a silver-white sun-shaped pendant.
"I didn't expect you to ...... Sneez...... Ryan let out a big sneeze.
Natalie only then realized that Ryan was soaked all over and needed to be dealt with quickly, otherwise with his physique, he might catch a cold.
"Oh God! Ryan, don't you know how to pay attention yourself? ”
Carefully putting the roses aside, Natalie quickly brought a towel, "Wipe it first, I'll go prepare the bath water, and also, take off the wet clothes first......"
As she spoke, Natalie tugged at Ryan's T-shirt, "Hurry up." ”
The wet T-shirt, shoes, and Ryan threw them at the doorway one after another, as well as the dripping pants......
"That...... Nat ...... Ryan scratched his head in embarrassment.
"I ...... I'm going to get the bath water ......" Natalie threw over a large thick blanket and quickly looked away and walked into the bathroom.
Shrugging his shoulders, Ryan took off his soaked clothes and wrapped himself tightly in a thick blanket, feeling a lot more comfortable, but looking down, the originally neat floor was messed up by himself, not to mention anything else, the carpet near the door was probably going to be scrapped.
Are you here to celebrate your 16th birthday? Or do you want to wreak havoc?
"Ryan!"
Natalie's voice came from the bathroom, "Come here." ”
"Right now, Nat."
After taking a hot bath, and at the urging of Natalie, drank medicine to prevent colds, Ryan wrapped himself in a blanket and nested in the couch, on the coffee table not far in front of him, the red roses that were about to wither, after Natalie's careful rest, were set up in a delicate vase, delicate petals, like a beautiful and moving girl.
"Hey, Nat, don't clean up, throw those clothes away." Ryan shouted into the bathroom.
"I don't have any clothes for you here, what are you going to wear tomorrow if you don't wash them and dry them?"
"This ......" Ryan thought for a moment and immediately had an idea, "Armani has my specific information, just call them and ask them to send a new one." ”
Many of his clothes were made from Armani.
"It'll be right away, my Monopoly Monsieur." Natalie replied angrily.
"God, Nat." Ryan grunted discontentedly, "Can you not say that, dear?" ”
"Do you want to argue with me, Ryan?" Natalie's words were not polite at all, and deliberately reminded, "Don't forget, today is my sixteenth birthday." ”
"I'll warn you, Nat, too." Ryan glanced triumphantly at the clock, "It's past twelve o'clock in the night." ”
"Humph!"
Probably after dealing with it, Natalie walked over, "If it weren't for the fact that you were talking and coming so far, I would definitely kick you out!" ”
"It's really sad." Ryan glanced at the small cottage, "I...... Where do I sleep tonight? (To be continued......)
