"Ryan? Jenkins, you promised me. ”

Natalie's voice was low, and Ryan's displeasure could be felt through the earpiece, "I'm sorry, Nat, Nicole is sick and I can't leave LA at this time." ”

Ryan ......

"Nate ......"

"That's it for now, I'm going to audition for the stage show, see you soon, Ryan."

Listening to the beep on the phone, Ryan could only sigh helplessly, and Nicole behind her suddenly spoke, her nasal voice seemed to be a little heavy.

"It's Nat? She's angry? ”

"No, just a little upset."

Withholding the phone, Ryan walked to the couch and touched Nicole's forehead, which was cold and indistinguishable from the past, and couldn't help frowning.

"Does it still hurt, do you want to go to the hospital?"

"Much better." Nicole rubbed her tall nose, "It's just that my head hurts." ”

Headache? Since the day before yesterday, Nicole said that she had a headache, and after the family doctor came to see her, she thought that it should be overtired, which caused some colds, and there was no big problem.

Ryan had no choice but to let Nicole put down her work, cancel her trip to New York, and take a few days off from school to stay home with her.

"Shall we go upstairs?" Nicole stood up, and the upstairs was their private space.

"Do you want me to hug you?" Ryan made a princess hug pose.

"I'm not seriously ill!"

Nicole glared at him and walked up to the second floor.

The melodious sound of the piano poured out like flowing water, and Nicole looked at the tall man sitting in front of the piano in a daze. There was a little guilt in her heart, but she immediately threw it aside, and there were some things she didn't want to think about, but she had to guard against them.

She is not an inexperienced little girl, and she knows that sometimes there is only a thin line between friendship and love.

Just like between her and Ryan, only God knows what is going on, and the deep affection between the two is what will turn into love.

Closing the piano, Ryan took the notebook and sketches, and nestled up on the same couch with Nicole, the two bodies close together. It seems like there will never be a separation. There is no force in this world that can separate them.

"New script?"

Nicole's half body was leaning on Ryan's back, her pointed chin pressed against his shoulder, her fair face gently rubbing against her resolute cheek, her hand reaching under her ribs. I flipped through the stack of storyboard sketches.

Like a naughty little girl. Nicole sometimes turns her head. Gently breathe into Ryan's ear piercings, occasionally taking a few bites on his neck, whenever the nimble tongue licks his skin. It always causes the two of them to shiver.

"Don't make a fuss."

Ryan pinched Nicole's nose with his backhand, then crackled on the keyboard, and lines of letters quickly appeared in the document.

"Is this the story you told about computer networks?" Nicole looked at it for a while, then said quietly.

"yes." Ryan flipped through her hand and found one of the drawings, "This is the heroine, are you interested, dear?" ”

This is a black-haired woman wearing a black tight leather suit and black sunglasses, Nicole can roughly see that this should be a shape drawn based on herself, and the whole painting only gives her one feeling, that is, cool!

"I'm going to find Keanu? Reeves starred in the male lead. Ryan tilted his head under her cheek and continued, "This is a trilogy, and I'm planning to shoot it all at once. ”

"When will the shooting start?" Nicole asked.

"The initial plan is for the end of next year or the beginning of '98, and the exact time will wait until I talk to Harvey." Ryan patiently explained.

"What are you going to trade it for?" Strictly speaking, Nicole doesn't like the fat guy very much, first, because he's too philistine, and secondly, she always introduces Ryan to some messy girls.

He called over last month and invited Ryan to a swimsuit party, if he hadn't heard it......

Thinking of this, Nicole habitually wanted to glare at Ryan, but the distance between the two was so close, her gaze directly penetrated into the depths of the pair of sky-blue eyes, and she saw her own figure from it.

"Bang~"

She pressed her forehead against his, and although it hurt a little, she was extremely happy.

"Go and change for Best Actress for you, change a few nominations for me, ...... for Na"

Before the last name could be spoken, Nicole gagged him with her own mouth, and the two tongues quickly became entangled in one place.

After a long time, Ryan and Nicole parted breathlessly, their faces flushed, and they each took a deep breath, which suppressed the restless hormones in their bodies.

"Honey, if you get naughty any longer, I won't be able to work." Ryan gestured to Nicole's hand that was sliding downward.

After the slippery hand stopped, Nicole hugged Ryan and returned to the original topic, "Do you want me to play this role?" ”

"Trinity?"

"Uh-huh~"

This series is one of the most classic trilogies, a big display of cyberpunk culture, as for whether there is a philosophical question in it, Ryan never thinks about it, in his eyes, it is a very, very funny, cool movie.

Art and philosophy were not what he wanted to achieve when he entered the industry.

He won't think about movies and art that can't bring benefits, but if they can bring enough benefits, even if it's an art film full of literary and artistic fan, he will also attach importance to it.

"Nicole, don't you think it's cool to wear a black leather coat and fly the wall and beat a bunch of men to the ground?" Ryan paused and kissed her ear, "I think you must be very sexy and beautiful like this." ”

"Would you love to see it?" Nicole's eyes blinked mischievously, "Do you want me to order one now and wear it at home for you?" ”

"It's the best idea in the world." Ryan's eyes lit up, and he wished that Nicole would go right away.

What better idea could there be, slender and tall Nicole? Kidman wears a tight leather suit and makes difficult moves such as a straight horse, and Ryan is excited just to think about it.

"However, I also have conditions." A sly smile hung on Nicole's lips, "I remember you for Kate?" Winslet sketches ......"

"Stop, Nicole!" Ryan quickly interrupted her, "I'm not going to make you a mannequin, Nicole, don't even think about it." ”

"It's a pity, I was going to order it in the afternoon, but it seems to be delayed." Nicole suddenly remembered something else and asked, "It's an action scene, right?" ”

She's an afterthought! Ryan had the urge to cover his forehead, and he understood that Nicole's words just now were clearly laughing at himself, and he couldn't take it seriously at all.

"yes." He nodded, "Chinese kung fu is going to be used in the movie, and kung fu is used to show the conflict of the procedure, and I plan to go to Hong Kong to hire a few kung fu instructors to serve as assistant directors, and before the film starts, it should ...... Special training should be required. ”

"I think with your dancing skills, these are not too difficult." Ryan added.

"That'...... Well, I'll tell Pat to set aside her slot. ”

In Ryan's planning, in addition to the release of the big ship next year, it is also an extremely important year for Nicole, he has found the work that makes her hit the highest peak, the lawsuit involving hundreds of millions of dollars has just ended, he informed Garcia to do an investigation, as long as it is confirmed, he will immediately invest money and energy to adapt real people and real stories into a biographical film.

Presumably, such a character who is full of swearing, a little crazy, and has a typical American spirit will make Nicole very well received, and with the necessary publicity and public relations, there is a great hope of winning the best actress.

Besides, he published "Perfection" as a novel in "Vanity Fair" a long time ago, and rejected James? Brooks' request to buy the rights to the film adaptation.

Even if she fails this time, she can continue to increase Nicole's qualifications, she wants acting skills, qualifications, and box office, and sooner or later the film school will give her that little golden man.

"Ryan, I remember your short film had to be done this month, right?" Nicole remembered what had been disturbed by her.

"That's right, if you can't complete or fail, the credit for this course will be a big problem."

"That'...... Shall I be the heroine of your short film? ”

Hearing Nicole's words, Ryan's eyes took off his notebook, looked her up and down, and then said, "Nicole, that's just a five-minute short film assignment, and I can't afford to pay you." ”

"It's always free."

"That's how you want to get this role?"

"Of course!" Nicole didn't back down, "This is your first time making a short film. ”

Then, she raised an eyebrow, "Whatever your first time, it has to be mine!" ”

"What a horrible possessive......" Ryan muttered.

"I said, Ryan, you're mine! From the moment I picked you up, it was doomed! Nicole's tone was unequivocal.

"Okay, okay, I'm yours."

Naturally, Ryan wouldn't bother with a sick woman, and besides, what he said in his mouth was completely different from what he actually said.

This kind of lover's words have never been taken seriously, Nicole still has "Island Cry" needs to be supervised, where does she have time to accompany a few students to shoot short films, she just wants to brush her presence in Ryan's eyes in this way, so that he never forgets that you are no longer a bachelor.

"There's no need to rush at all, we can screen it before the New Year, as long as we get the qualifications to enter." After Nicole recovered, Ryan still advised her to rest for a while, "That Mr. Director did a good job, and I could give him the rest of the work." ”

Ryan has seen the incomplete demo, and the overall feeling is not bad, although the plot is a little worse than the previous life, but the theme is more profound, and the only purpose of this movie is to bring out the heroine Nicole.

Before Thanksgiving, in addition to cooperating with the promotion of "Cat and Mouse Game", Ryan cooperated with several other classmates and hired a teaching assistant to help them start filming their first short film assignment. (To be continued......)
