If it was her own home in Los Angeles, Nicole might not think about it, but in a crowded location, she didn't have to think about it.

Looking at Nicole's rolled eyes, Ryan playfully shrugged his shoulders and followed her to the crew's dining car.

A large area around the manor villa is the private domain of the Spencer family, mostly woods and farmland, and most of the crew's food and accommodation are carried out in special trailers, and a small number of staff live in the servants' room in the manor.

Ryan hasn't intervened since handing over "Island Cry" to Nicole, and although the filming team was hired by Jenkins Films, the crew was basically made up of her and Melanie? Sloan is in charge, and Nicole enjoys being a producer.

Nicole pulled Ryan and introduced several key members of the crew, such as the rookie director, such as the young actor who played her son, etc., and finally came to her table.

"This is Ms. Sloane, so I don't think I need to introduce you, right?"

Of course, Ryan, the person Nicole said, knew that after the filming of "Killer Leon" was completed, the other party joined Jenkins Pictures and became a professional producer.

"Hi Melanie, long time no see."

"Hello, Ryan, I haven't seen you in over a year, you've grown so tall."

The two had met a few times, and they still had some impressions of each other, and after Ryan said hello, he looked to her side, it was a blonde girl.

She was cramped to stand beside her mother, looking at Ryan as if she was a little uneasy, probably hesitating whether to say hello or not.

"Hey, Scarlett, remember me?" Ryan mentioned their mutual friend, "Natto, let me say hello to you." ”

"Ryan, you're so tall......"

The girl looked up at Ryan in response, "I can't imagine you're more handsome than before." ”

"Scarlett has grown up, and she knows how to see if a boy is handsome......"

Nicole gently rubbed her blonde hair. Ask Ryan, "What do you want to eat?" The conditions may be a little rudimentary. ”

"Whatever."

The crew is on location, so naturally it won't be too rich in terms of catering, Ryan doesn't care, as long as Nicole is around, it doesn't matter what she eats.

"My character is Nicole's daughter...... Well, how to put it, this is a girl with a lot of personality, and it is not easy to play her well, although some people privately say that it is because of her mother. I just got the role, but I think I'm pretty good. ”

At the table, the four of them whispered something while eating, and when Ryan asked about her role, Scarlett? Johnson looked confident, "Nicole can prove it to me, although my acting skills are much worse than Nicole." ”

"You've done a great job, Scarlett."

Being complimented by a girl without a trace, anyone will be happy. What's more, Nicole has always liked children very much, "Among girls of the same age, I have never met anyone better than you." ”

"Nat, ......" Scarlett hung her head.

"She doesn't count." This time it was Ryan who spoke. "How many girls can do her kind of thing?"

"That's right, if every little actor compares to you and Nat, it will be too shocking." Scarlett looked up again, "Still. I'll catch up. ”

"Honey, you'd better play the role first." Melanie smiled and glanced at her daughter.

"Scarlett has done a good job, as long as it keeps it up."

From Nicole's words. Ryan could tell that she was really happy with the New York girl's appearance.

He had heard Nicole mention that although the role had been auditioned on a small scale, how many people were better than Scarlett? Johnson, but Nicole finally finalized her, Hollywood is like this, when the difference is not too much, the opportunity will definitely be left to their own people.

In the next few days, Ryan stayed in the crew and acted as a temporary assistant for Nicole, everyone knew about their sibling relationship, and watching the intimate interaction between the two, they did not feel abnormal, but felt that their relationship was even better than rumored.

"I miss the chocolate pie a little."

Nicole said something inadvertently between shoots, and Ryan immediately drove dozens of miles – driven by George – to buy freshly baked chocolate pies from Edinburgh's most prestigious pastry shop.

"I'm just talking about it, Ryan......"

This kind of inconspicuous little thing can be best reflected in the status of each other's hearts, when Nicole got the chocolate pie with residual warmth, there was irrepressible excitement in her expression, if it weren't for the crowd in the crew, she would definitely throw herself into Ryan's arms and whisper her inner feelings.

"As long as you're happy." Ryan is still the same old saying he used to be a few years ago, unpretentious but sincere.

People will always grow up, and they will always change, time is sometimes the most ruthless, sometimes it is the most affectionate, nearly ten years of getting along day and night, the depth of the feelings between the two is so complex, how can outsiders understand.

The crew had only just started filming, and they had only rented the estate for three months, which was undoubtedly a bit tight for Hollywood-style shooting, and overtime became a must, although the budget was only $20 million, but it was enough for a movie like "Island Cry".

The biggest expense of the crew is Nicole's salary, and now her single-film salary has long exceeded 15 million US dollars, but the investment in the film is mainly to group Jenkins Films and her personal pockets, and the salary is only a nominal friendship price.

Besides, as long as the movie is a big hit like all Ryan's works over the years, she will definitely be rewarded handsomely.

Standing behind the camera, Ryan didn't say a word, just quietly watched Nicole's performance, she was dressed in an old-fashioned dress from the forties, she looked unusually slender and tall, and her pale face showed a neurotic madness, showing the inner world of Grace as a mother to the fullest.

Although it has a similar structure to "The Sixth Sense", the theme of this film is far less profound and touching than that of "The Sixth Sense", when Ryan was writing the script, he underwent a lot of surgery, which made the plausible dark line clearer, in addition to the main line of family and affection, but also highlighted the reflection on how war can bring trauma to an ordinary family.

Of course, both Ryan and Nicole have a clear understanding that this movie cannot surpass "The Sixth Sense" in terms of word-of-mouth and box office.

In fact, Ryan also made some adjustments to the role, all the plots of the movie are for the heroine Grace, and all the supporting roles are just her foil, which makes the woman's neurotic and motherly side more prominent, so that Ni can achieve an explosive performance.

It is almost impossible to win the Best Actress with such a role, but there is always some hope for getting a nomination with public relations publicity.

If you want to stand in that position worthy of the name, qualifications, fame, acting skills, public relations and even the box office you represent are equally important, and Ryan doesn't want Nicole to be deducted from the water.

"Edinburgh is the capital of Scotland, my dear, where would you like to go? Edinburgh Castle or Royal Mile? ”

In an old-fashioned café with a British flair, Nicole sipps coffee and introduces Ryan to the city's attractions.

Although Nicole vetoed Ryan's trip to Spain, she found a half-day on the weekend to accompany him to Edinburgh.

"Sit here for a while, I'm leaving in the evening, and I don't want to go anywhere." Ryan also took a sip of his coffee.

"That's not the energy that a young person should have, Ryan, are you getting old before you get old?" Nicole had a playful look on her face, and her tone was full of teasing.

"Yes, dear Nicole." Ryan leaned forward and muttered something in her ear.

"What else would you think?" Nicole glared at him fiercely.

"Don't say you haven't thought about it." These words are just words, Ryan's face has long been comparable to that of the Arc de Triomphe, "I'm sixteen, Nicole......"

If it weren't for Nicole's accumulation of power from childhood to adulthood, and the troubles that might be bringing, he would have been more active in some things, after all, he already had considerable autonomy after the age of sixteen, and he was no longer a minor who Nicole could completely suppress him with certain authority.

The two sat in the café for an afternoon, almost ten years, and they still had endless topics to talk about, and whenever they talked about interesting things, they would always laugh at the same time, and at the same time sigh, that tacit understanding seemed to come from the same frequency in the soul.

"Hey, Ryan, look over there, that woman sat there all afternoon and wrote all afternoon, just like you used to be."

Ryan followed Nicole's gaze and tilted his head to look behind her, a blonde woman with a child, who was hunching on her desk, as if she was writing something.

"Alright, Nicole, when did you become so curious?" Ryan looked back and looked at his watch, "It's almost time, it's time for us to go to the airport." ”

"That'...... All right. ”

As she spoke, Nicole put on her sunglasses, hat, and scarf for Ryan one by one, and quickly disguised herself, so that she could get out of this remote partition.

The two men were lucky enough to not meet a reporter until they entered the airport, or it should be said that Edinburgh is not London after all.

Of course, their luck ended there, Ryan had just changed his boarding pass and was about to say goodbye to Nicole, when three or four people with cameras were already hurrying after him.

"It's Nicole? Kidman, there were rumors some time ago that she came to the UK to film, but I didn't expect it to be in Edinburgh...... These people shouted without scruples, and they could be heard clearly from a distance of ten feet.

"Wow, she's so beautiful! Hey, who's that guy next to her? Her boyfriend? ”

"Familiar...... It seems like...... No, the height doesn't match the ......" The paparazzi with a fast brain immediately understood, "Guys, we're developed, that's Ryan?" Jenkins! Ryan who grew up? Jenkins! ”

"Yes, that's right! It's him, he's grown taller and more handsome......"

"$200,000 is here...... God, today is a lucky day for us. (To be continued......)
