Chapter Twenty-Five: Dragging Around

The bell rang for the end of school, and Ryan ran out of the classroom at a speed of 100 meters, and while there was no one in the corridor, he quickly opened the locker, grabbed his schoolbag and rushed towards the school gate, as if a thousand monsters were chasing him behind him.

These damn little devils are tougher than reporters and paparazzi! Ryan's face was full of exhaustion, and it was clear that the experience had not been very pleasant today.

Jumping into the SUV and closing the door, Ryan finally let out a sigh of relief, took the agent's lady to prepare the haode juice, and drank the small half box directly.

"Did something happen, Ryan?" Ginsilly asked curiously, "You look tired." ”

"Pate, don't mention it." Ryan tugged at the corners of his mouth, as if he remembered the terrifying scene when he was watched today, "Those little guys are so scary, until now I feel like there are 10,000 crows croaking in my ears." ”

"Little one?" After the car drove onto the avenue, Kinsley reacted and said with a smile, "Do you want me to say hello to the school?" ”

"Is that okay?" Ryan relaxed a lot after getting a confirmed answer from Kinsley, "That's great. ”

Back in the apartment, Ryan threw away his school bag and sat down directly in the couch, leaning on Nicole's body, Nicole put down the script in her hand, rubbed his forehead in distress, and said to Kinsley, "Excuse me, Pat." ”

"There's no need to be so polite between us, besides, that's what I'm supposed to do." Sitting on the couch opposite, Kinsley noticed the script on the coffee table and asked, "Is this......?" Ryan's new script? ”

"Yes." Nicole nodded and pushed the script directly in front of Kinsley, "A story about Aiqing, God knows what this little guy is thinking." ”

The black sedan stopped on the side of the road, Carter? Eisner looked at Chris in the co-pilot? Columbus, "No phone appointments, no greetings, shall we come to the door like this?" God knows if they will be at home. ”

"See those reporters, Carter?" Chris pointed to a few guys with cameras not far away, "Since they're staying here, Nicole?" Kidman and Ryan? Jenkins was at least home alone. ”

"Alright then, I guess I must be crazy."

"Is that really the case?" Chris laughed and pushed open the door and walked down first, "Don't say you don't see the value of that storybook. ”

Ryan went back to his room and changed into his ugly school uniform, and walked back to the living room to find that there was a guest on the door, one of whom he didn't recognize, and the other was familiar.

"Ryan, they're here for you, this is Carter? Eisner, the head of the film division at Touchstone Pictures, is Chris? Directed by Columbus. Nicole made a brief introduction.

Greeting the two, Ryan sat next to Nicole, and he finally remembered who the familiar person was, it was the director of the first two parts of the Little Wizard he plagiarized, it was really interesting, he actually took the initiative to find the door, and the inertia of the wheel of history was really huge.

"Ryan, we're here because Chris and I have taken a fancy to a novella from your book of stories." Carter? Eisner said straight to the point.

"Home Alone." Chris? Columbus added, taking out a book from his briefcase, none other than the boy's collection of stories, "I want to adapt it into a movie." ”

"That's right." Ryan pinched his fingers, looking embarrassed.

"What's the difficulty?" Carter asked.

"I'm recently adapting Home Alone into a screenplay, and I'm more than halfway through it, and it's impossible to sell the rights to adapt it." Nicole couldn't help but roll her eyes as Ryan spoke, this little imp didn't need to type a draft at all to lie.

Others don't know, she doesn't know, Home Alone and the script she is working on were done at the same time.

Carter and Chris looked at each other and laughed at the same time, they had planned to let Ryan write the adaptation of the story himself, but he didn't expect him to do it, which is really good news.

"Actually, Ryan, we were going to invite you to write the adaptation yourself, it's a story you've created, no one knows it better than you, and after The Sixth Sense, I don't think many people will doubt your ability to write the screenplay." Carter didn't say another thing in his heart, the second work of the super genius was a big boo when it was promoted.

After exchanging views with Chris in a low voice, he added, "Also, we want to invite you to play Kevin." ”

Ryan suddenly laughed, he originally thought, Chris? Columbus was going to invite the son of his greedy friend, in which case he would never have sold him the rights to the adaptation, even if it was his work.

You know, this story is for himself!

"Okay." In that case, Ryan has nothing to say, "I agree in principle, you can just talk to Pat about the specific conditions." ”

Carter and Chris didn't say anything, but looked at Nicole again? Kidman, after all, this kind of thing still needs the consent of a guardian.

"Ryan's affairs, he can call the shots." Nicole's words put the two at ease.

This conversation was supposed to end here, but Carter had already taken aim at the corner of the coffee table, and in just a few glances he was sure that it must be a script, but he didn't know if it was Ryan's new script or Nicole? Kidman's new play.

As a businessman, being cheeky is a must, he thought about it for a moment, made a casual excuse, pointed to the script on the coffee table and asked, "Is this the script that has already been written, Ryan?" ”

The faces of the people present are all covered with black lines, this excuse is really bad!

"No, that's a new script I wrote for Nicole." Ryan seems to be unconcerned, as if writing a script is as common as drinking water and eating.

"That'...... Can you take a look? ”

"Absolutely." Ryan simply took the script and handed it over.

Carter? Eisner originally thought that this script would be like "The Sixth Sense" or "Home Alone", with a child playing the main role, but after turning it over for a while, the corners of his eyes couldn't stop jumping, this is an out-and-out aiqing theme!

"This ...... It's amazing. After a long time, Carter closed the script, and several people on the other side of the small talk immediately looked at him.

"Ryan......" Carter didn't seem to know what to say.

"I see what you mean, Mr. Carter." Ryan casually explained, "Would a ten-year-old understand what aiqing is? To be honest, I really don't know much, and the only thing I know is from TV and movies, so this script is very clever, and in many ways it borrows from "Golden Jade League", and this movie has always been interspersed with it, and the meeting of the hero and heroine in the movie Zuihou in the Empire State Building is also to make up for the promise in "Golden Jade League". ”

"Very brilliant, very touching story." Carter exclaimed, his eyes shining at the boy, "Ryan, how about handing over this script to Touchstone Pictures?" ”

Ryan shrugged and looked at Nicole? Kidman, "Sleepless in Seattle now belongs to Nicole, and she has the final say on how to do it. ”

Honestly, Nicole? Kidman is not very suitable for this film, she is too cold, with Meg? Ryan and Julia? Roberts, an American sweetheart, may be slightly flawed in this romantic comedy, but she also has her own advantages, such as far better acting skills than in her previous life, such as a tall figure and outstanding appearance.

Therefore, Ryan made a slight modification to the heroine according to Nicole's image and personal habits, and also used her as a blueprint to draw a lot of sketches for sub-shot settings, anyway, "Sleepless in Seattle" is not a typical aiqing comedy, more of which is laughter with tears, with Nicole's acting skills shown in "The Sixth Sense", there should not be much of a problem.

As long as there are two high-grossing and high-reputation movies, Nicole can completely gain a foothold in Hollywood, and there is no need to hone her acting skills in those unknown movies like in her previous life, so as to get rid of the symbolic image that she is just Mrs. Cruise.

In short, don't worry, it's only 1990, and if you want Nicole to reach the top indisputably, you must first let her get enough qualifications.

Although there is no agreement with Nicole, can you get Home Alone, Carter? Eisner and Chris? Columbus still left the apartment with a smile, besides, this script hasn't been released yet, they still have a chance, don't they?

However, they would never have imagined that a time-consuming and labor-intensive negotiation awaited them.

"Pat, try to drag on the negotiations with the touchstone, and don't agree to any of their conditions until 'The Sixth Sense' is down." After sending the two away, Ryan said.

Everyone is smart, Nicole and Kingsley were just slightly stunned, then they understood, and smiled very brightly.

After entering June, with the holidays of various schools in the United States, the hottest summer file war kicked off, although the number of theaters of "The Sixth Sense" has been reduced by nearly half, but the film is still the first choice for many people to watch movies, although the box office is no longer as terrifying as in previous weeks, but it is still growing steadily and continuously.

The film made many people shut their mouths, and no one thought that a family ethics film dressed in a thriller would receive so much praise and earn back such a high box office, compared to Miramax's $20 million investment, which is not even a drop in the bucket.

Harvey? In an interview, Weinstein smiled brightly, "It's a masterpiece, and there's no doubt about it, David, Al, Nicole, and Ryan have done a great job." What the? You said Ryan, that's right! The first time I met him, I knew he was a super genius and no one could do it better than him! Of course, we'll work together in the future, and it's great that he can provide a script, and no one can guess what kind of idea will pop into his head. ”

The second one will send ~~ tickets! Collect! Just smash it down~~
