After saying hello to Spielberg and calling out to Natalie, the group returned to the hotel and went straight to the living room of Ryan's suite.

Under Nicole's introduction, the two sides got to know each other, and the three people who came with her were the Frenchmen Jean Renaud and Luc Besson, as well as his assistant.

"Sit down, I have something to talk to Ryan about."

After the waiter brought coffee and hot tea, Nicole pulled Ryan directly into the bedroom, but the original bright smile disappeared without a trace, and the beautiful face had a tendency to turn into an iceberg.

"Did something happen, Nicole?"

Closing the bedroom door, he saw the Australian girl sunny and cloudy, and he had a little drum in his heart.

"Ryan, what are you thinking? Weishenme to write such a script? God, a twelve-year-old girl falls in love with a middle-aged killer, what the hell do you think? Nicole pressed him into the small couch and stared at him condescendingly.

"I ......," she said again, without waiting for him to explain, "or are you starting to enter a rebellious period, full of cranky thoughts?" Did you know that such a work can cause a huge controversy? ”

"There is controversy to have a box office." Ryan muttered in a low voice, sensing the knife-like eyes shooting, and quickly closed his mouth obediently.

"Box office? What Nat said is not wrong at all, at a young age, you are ......" Nicole has not studied Chinese specifically, and obviously can't remember what to say about the smell of copper, "Also, this is the script you prepared for Nat?" This puts her under a lot of pressure. ”

"Alright, Nicole, arguments and pressure will only be on me, besides, this is just a fairy tale about killers." Ryan was a little puzzled, he made some changes to the plot, and Mrs. Shelly didn't object after reading it, Weishenme Nicole would be so angry.

"Fairy tales?" Nicole's eyes widened and widened, "The little girl slept with the killer, and the middle-aged man bathed the girl, God!" Ryan, are you peeking at Lolita......"

"Wait!" Ryan's eyes widened, "I didn't write such a plot......"

These are obviously plots from previous life movies, and even the shower plot was canceled under Natalie's strong opposition, but I eliminated these overly sensitive things, how can I ......

Nicole's movements were quick, and she took the script out of her handbag, and Ryan quickly flipped through it, and the more she looked at it, her face getting darker and darker.

The script is not a copy of the manuscript he mailed, but a machine-typed version, in which many plots are added, even the relationship between the girl and the killer that he specially changed has been changed back, and most excessively, there is a scene where Leon bathes Matilda.

Damn it! Ryan scolded, no need to ask, he also knew that Luc Besson must have changed the content of the script without authorization.

Not to mention the question of whether or not there is an infringement involved, as long as he shakes his head, none of these episodes can be realized.

What exactly are these French people thinking? Wouldn't the movie be dead without those shots? He didn't understand that if such a movie was filmed and wanted to be released in North America, it would probably be set as NC-17, which would make the person who played Matilda and he, the author, face a huge storm.

"I didn't write it......" Ryan explained to Nicole simply and quickly, and the Australian girl's face looked much better.

But when the two of them walked out of the bedroom and into the living room, the way she looked at Luc Besson changed.

Speaking of which, in the past few years of living together in this life, Ryan and Nicole Kidman have influenced each other, and their personalities have changed a lot from their previous lives.

Sitting around on the couch, the atmosphere was a little awkward, and Luc Besson took a sip of coffee and turned his gaze to the boy opposite.

He had heard of him, he had watched both "The Sixth Sense" and "Terminator 2" and was impressed by his performances in it, especially the peculiar structure of "The Sixth Sense", which was more to his liking.

At the beginning, he was a little surprised to learn that the script was written by a boy, but he didn't care too much, there are too many geniuses among the Jews.

Besides, since "The Sixth Sense", the other party, like the vast majority of Hollywood film practitioners, has focused on business, whether it is "Home Alone", or later "Terminator 2" and "Bodyguard", etc., it is just a complete commercial production.

Unlike most directors on the European continent, Luc Besson knew that Hollywood's commercial model would have an increasing impact on the European film market, and it would not take a few years to completely conquer the European market.

What about their European counterparts? Just keep criticizing Hollywood for nothing but business and self-righteousness, but does it work?

Besides, who are the truly self-righteous people? I'm afraid it's those who don't care about the feelings of the audience and shoot works that talk to themselves.

He is a very ambitious and courageous person, since Hollywood movies can flourish in the European market, then Weishenme's own works can't enter the North American market, and Weishenme can't enter Hollywood?

If you want to open up the American market, you need a work that meets both your own tastes and American ideas, and he has been conceiving it since the filming of "Atlantis", but he has not been able to find the right idea.

Until some time ago, his ** actor and friend Jean Reno brought the script of "Killer Leon", which was mixed with several setting drafts, and it can be seen that Leon used the image of Jean, the little girl......

He looked at Natalie, who was sitting next to Ryan, this was Matilda? I'm too young, I'm too thin, I don't even have a small bag on my chest, it's completely an airfield.

Luc Besson directly vetoed Natalie's image, and if Ryan knew what he was thinking, he would definitely wash his face with hot tea.

Ryan sat quietly on the side, as for the negotiation, it was better to leave it to the professional Kingsley, who just kept looking at the script that was typed by the machine.

After a long time, Nicole tugged at him, and Ryan smiled apologetically and said, "Mr. Besson, I can leave "Killer Leon" to you, and I can also help you match up with the producers in the United States." ”

After all, with the experience of the previous life, Ryan knew that this guy was not treated well by European filmmakers, and he always wanted to go to Hollywood to develop.

Luc Besson made a gesture of please, he was not only a film director, but also a businessman, and he would not be so stupid as to think that the other party was really a naïve teenager.

"At that time, there were a few set drawings that were mailed along with the script, I don't know if you have seen them." Ryan asked.

"Of course, I can see that Leon is modeled after Jean's image."

"Yes, after watching Nikita, I was very impressed with Mr. Renault." Ryan unconsciously looked at Jean Reno's big nose, and the other party smiled kindly.

He smiled back with the same bright smile, this time looking at Natalie and saying, "Two aspects, one is that this script was written for my most haode friend, and Matilda's idea came from her, and the other is ......"

Ryan put the machine-typed script on the coffee table, "Remove the plots that were added to it!" ”

Luc Besson's face is very ugly, the changes and additions in the script are from him, being so much younger than him in public, he will naturally not be happy in his heart, if it weren't for the fact that this script is really attractive, the other party is almost a guarantee of the box office in North America, he really wants to say goodbye directly.

As if knowing what the other party was thinking, Ryan continued, "Mr. Besson, if I'm not mistaken, you're trying to use this movie to open up the American market, right?" ”

"That's right." It's no secret that no one in the European film circle knows that he wants to enter Hollywood.

"I don't know what you think of the American audience, this subject matter is a little sensitive compared to the current society in the United States, maybe placed in Europe, this kind of Lolita-style romance will not cause the audience to be disgusted, but it is different in North America, the United States is indeed very open, but that is limited to a few coastal states, if the text of the script is turned into a picture, it will cause huge criticism, in case the film is rated NC-17 by the MPAA after the production is completed, it will be over."

"The most touching thing about this story is the feelings, but there are many ways to express feelings, and vague and hazy feelings can sometimes move people's hearts."

Luc Besson had a thoughtful expression, he wasn't a man who didn't know how to work, but he really ...... to give up those plots

"Don't forget, it's going to be a girl in her early teens!" In front of Natalie, Ryan has something to say, and if Luc Besson really insists on doing so, then take back the script.

This movie may not fail without him, but there are many film companies in Hollywood waiting to invest in the scripts he created, and his past achievements have given him a lot of confidence.

Of course, that's just Zuihou's choice, and whenever possible, keeping the original cast is the first choice.

How do you choose between ideas and interests? It's not that hard for a director who runs a film company.

What's more, although the other party has some connections in Hollywood, it will definitely be a lot more convenient to have Ryan Jenkins and their own people to match.

"Okay." Luc Besson chose the market.

However, the little personality of the French then came back, "I hope to hold an audition in New York for the role of Matilda." ”

This time Ryan's face is not good-looking, if it weren't for his friend, why would he waste so much saliva with the other party, if Natalie can't play Matilda, he would rather let the movie disappear forever.

Luc Besson was obviously not a vegetarian either, and he fought back sharply, "I just talked to Miss Natalie, and I know that she has a lot of acting experience, and I don't think Miss Natalie would mind going to audition and get the role on her own, not because of Ryan Jenkins' good friend." ”

This is a very obvious run and agitation, but Natalie is competitive and has her own pride, and Ryan was about to say something, but she pulled her arm hard and almost fell on the sofa.

"Ryan......" Natalie looked over, Ryan opened her mouth, and finally closed it.

"I agreed to audition." Natalie's jaw flicked.

Forget it, Ryan shrugged his shoulders, just to maintain Natalie's self-esteem, with her acting skills, it's easy to get this role, isn't it?

Besides, he will find someone of his own to be the production manager.
