Hung up on Kate? Blanchett's phone, Ryan watching the California night view through the car window, before the car entered the Beverly Hills boundary, his mobile phone rang again, but it was from home.

"Hello, Lisa, what's going on?" It was the housekeeper who called.

"There's a lady in the living room, and she says it's Nicole's friend, from Australia."

"You didn't tell her, did Nicole go to Europe?" Ryan was a little weird, Nicole didn't have many friends, and Lisa knew them all.

"I said it, but she didn't leave, she didn't say what she came here for." Lisa's words were tinged with a hint of helplessness, "She said it's okay to see you." ”

"That'...... All right. Ryan looked back from the window completely, "I'll be in Beverly Hills soon, let her wait a moment." ”

You can't let Lisa kick people out, can you? Ryan closed the phone and shook his head slightly, there were paparazzi stationed outside the house for a long time......

Who the hell is it? From Australia? Didn't I hear Nicole mention that she has other friends in Australia?

As the car drove into the garage, Ryan walked straight into the villa's living room and found Lisa sitting on the couch, chatting with a blonde woman over coffee.

The blonde woman Ryan knew that it was Nicole's female classmate she had met when she went on vacation with Nicole on vacation in Australia, and it seemed to be a female classmate from acting school.

"Hello, Ryan, remember me?" The other man stood up and stretched out his hand to him.

"Of course, you're Nicole's classmate." Ryan shook it lightly, signaling that she wasn't welcome.

What's her name? After sitting on the couch, Ryan found that he couldn't remember her name, which was normal, and although his head was far better than the average person's, he didn't bother to remember the names of people he had only met once.

"When did you come to Los Angeles? Why wasn't Nicole notified? ”

Seeing that the other party didn't mean to introduce himself, Ryan simply ignored her name. casually politely said.

"I came here at the beginning of the year." She held the coffee cup and swirled it slowly in her hand, as if she didn't know how to speak.

Ryan looked at her quietly, although the blonde woman was beautiful, there was a haggard look that could not be concealed, and anxiety was clearly written in her pale blue eyes, which looked no different from those actresses who ran into walls in Hollywood.

It wasn't until Lisa's figure disappeared completely, and only the two of them were left in the living room, that the other person spoke again, "I lost Nicole's contact information." You still find out your address by asking insiders......"

Listening to her words, Ryan gradually understood that this was just another story of coming to Hollywood to pursue his dream, but he hit his head and bloodshed.

She didn't listen to Nicole's advice at the time, and before she made a name for herself in Australia, she crossed the ocean to Los Angeles, hoping to become famous overnight.

However, reality and dreams are like Sydney and Los Angeles, separated by more than half the Pacific Ocean. Although she has been persevering, for most of the year, except for a few roles that are not in the stream, there has been no progress in her career.

Just like most Westerners. She didn't have much savings, couldn't make ends meet for a long time, couldn't afford to pay the rent in her apartment, and temporarily moved into a motel. I was often harassed by some hippies, and even my own safety was about to become a problem.

In desperation, he came to the door to ask for help.

Although she said it in a very vague way. Ryan still analyzed the general meaning.

There are a lot of Australian movie stars in Hollywood, most of them are famous in Australia, and some works only come to Hollywood to develop after entering the North American market.

You must know that there are many women from all over the world who are looking for their dream of being actors, and after years of waste, they can only stand on the side of the street in order to make a living.

"Well, you wait a minute, I'll give Nicole a call."

Strictly speaking, this is Nicole's private matter, and it is up to her to decide how to deal with it.

Ryan walked out of the living room and into another meeting room, dialed Nicole's contact number in Europe, and soon a familiar voice came from the other side.

"Hey Ryan, is there something wrong with calling at this time?"

"That's right, Nicole, that female classmate of yours ......" Ryan found that he still didn't know the other person's name, so he had to say, "It's the ...... I met at Annie's house"

He explained it quickly and concisely in simple language, and then quietly waited for Nicole's decision.

"She and I used to have a relationship, and the apartment in Westwood was always empty...... The key is in the cabinet in my room, you can find it yourself. ”

Since Nicole said so, Ryan naturally would not object, deducted the phone, he went directly to the second floor, entered Nicole's room, walked to the big bed, and opened the white cabinet.

The contents were cluttered, not at all like Nicole's style of keeping things neat, but the set of keys was placed on the top floor, and Ryan noticed it at a glance, and after taking it, he just wanted to close the cabinet and leave, but was attracted by a bright silver flat metal box.

This box seems to have been seen? Ryan quickly recalled, wasn't this the box he happened to catch a glimpse of when he came to sign a check with Nicole one night?

Is this a cigarette case? I've never seen Nicole smoke before?

Throwing the key aside, Ryan pulled out the metal cigarette case, and with a flick of his finger, the box opened, and there were five or six cigarette rolls inside, which were crooked, obviously hand-rolled, and had a bit of Nicole's clumsy style when doing fine work.

Pulling out one of them, Ryan put it in front of his nose and sniffed it gently, even if he was not a smoker in his previous life or this life, he had always smoked second-hand smoke, and this was not the taste of tobacco at all.

With a frown, Ryan quickly opened one, and the heart he was carrying was completely put down.

This stuff is too common in North America, not to mention adults, more than 80% of middle school students have smoked it, Nicole is a typical Westerner, she has lived a good life since she was a child, and it is normal to have this kind of thing.

Is this Nicole's secret?

Ryan didn't have the slightest interest in this thing, and his slender fingers flexibly restored the disassembled one to its original state, and stuffed the box back into the cabinet, and said in his heart, do you want to remind Nicole to quit this thing completely?

Shaking his head, Ryan gave up this plan, Nicole is not a person without measure, what to do and what not to do, she is as sober as herself.

After closing the door, Ryan went downstairs and returned to the living room, where the blonde woman was sitting slightly uneasy, seemingly in a hurry.

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting."

Ryan greeted her, took a pen and paper and wrote down the address, and handed it over with the key, "Nicole has an apartment in Westwood, with the address and Nicole's contact information on it, you can live there temporarily." ”

"Thank you."

There should really be no way, the other party is not polite.

"By the way, the smaller bedroom in the apartment used to be my room, and there are a lot of things in it, please pay attention." Ryan remembered his clutter and reminded him.

"I'll take notice."

Watching the blonde woman drive away in a second-hand car, Ryan suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to ask her name again.

You can't blame me for that! Ryan made a reason for himself, blaming the cigarette case if he wanted to, who let it distract me?

Maybe that's how Ni can relieve a lot of stress? Ryan unconsciously made excuses for Nicole, and the truth was similar to what he imagined.

Back in his room, sitting at his desk, Ryan gently twitched his knuckles and visited three invitations in front of him, which were the official invitations to the premieres of three films, namely "The Lion King", "Sugarcoat Trap" and "Schindler's List"!

"The Lion King" will be released on Thanksgiving, "Sugar-Coated Trap" will probably be later, "Schindler's List" will be the latest, and it will be aiming for the Oscars.

Despite the support of the National Jewish Association, the theater that the film can win is still not ideal, which is the rule of the market.

"The Lion King" is the focus of the Thanksgiving Christmas file, Disney's animated films are originally a guarantee of quality, and now with Ryan's name, it is naturally favored by the vast majority of people at the box office, and even Disney itself is ambitious, intending to compete with the box office record of "Jurassic Park".

As for "The Sugar-Coated Trap", its version of the novel has also topped the North American bestseller list, has a lot of fans, and it also reflects a very prominent problem in the United States, the conflict between law and professional ethics, which will surely attract people's attention.

In this movie, Ryan did not copy the version of his previous life, he compressed the plot and made the rhythm more compact, but retained the ending of the previous life on the other side of the website.

After all, the way of thinking in the East and the West is very different, and the code of conduct is one of the rules flaunted by Western society at all times, and the code of ethics often overrides the law in a profession that requires a great reputation, such as lawyers.

Thinking of this movie, Ryan can't help but think of Nicole again, who went to Europe to participate in a series of Chanel business events, and probably stayed there for a long time.

Although the real stars of "Jurassic Park" are dinosaurs, with the terrifying box office figures, several of the main actors in it have also benefited a lot, and Nicole's career has also taken a step further, and her appeal in commercial films has become stronger and stronger, stabilizing Julia, who is constantly recovering in popularity? Roberts headed.

In the "Batman Forever" performance contract signed with Warner, her salary is as high as 15 million dollars, and it is only a matter of time before she enters the 20 million club.

Like most first-line actresses in Hollywood, Nicole's income from advertising endorsements far exceeds the income from salary, and her beautiful appearance and keen sense of fashion have long become the darling of businesses. (To be continued......)
