Chapter 24: The Touchstone
After getting out of Kinsley's car, Ryan lowered his baseball cap, quickly glanced around, saw that there was nothing unusual, waved at the agent lady in the car, and ran into the campus with his head down.
He can't stay at home forever, if he takes too long, he can really only repeat a grade, but fortunately, as time goes on, the topic about him gradually decreases, and there are countless stars and gossip in Hollywood, so naturally someone will replace him to attract the attention of the media and the public.
"Hey Ryan, long time no see, weishenme you always have to take long leave?"
Ryan had just sat down in his chair when Jerry in front of him and Peter on the other side came over.
"You know, I've always been busy." Ryan coped casually, but his face remained hidden in the shadow of his baseball cap.
"yes, you're busy." Jerry tilted his head and suddenly said, "Ryan, can you take off your baseball cap?" ”
"Hats? What's wrong? Ryan didn't think much of it, and casually took off his hat and placed it on the table.
"Peter!" After Jerry shouted, Peter quickly took out a newspaper from his school bag, looked at the picture on the front page, and said with great certainty, "That's right, it's him." ”
The corners of Ryan's mouth couldn't stop shaking, in his cognition, children of this age would not read newspapers and magazines at all, and he has grown up a lot now, which is somewhat different from the appearance in the sixth sense, I didn't expect these two guys to read the "Los Angeles Times".
"Wow, it's true, Ryan, it turns out that you are really the little boy in "The Sixth Sense", so you wrote Harry Potter as well? You know that I like this book the most, but you never tell me that you are the author. ”
Jerry's shout immediately caught the attention of the class, and he simply snatched the newspaper from Peter's hand, "You don't read newspapers and magazines? Don't watch entertainment news? Don't watch movies? Do you know who the little boy in "The Sixth Sense" is? Do you know who is the author of your favorite books of The Ryan Tales and Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone? It's Ryan. ”
The classroom suddenly turned into a vegetable market, and these over-energetic boys and girls all rushed over, scrambling to look at the newspaper from more than half a month ago, although there were many more creases on the newspaper, but the picture was still clear, who else would it be if it wasn't Ryan.
A lively girl simply grabbed the newspaper, stood on a chair, and read the report aloud crisply, and said to the ten-year-old that they could understand most of it, and only then did they believe that the author of the children's books they read often was her classmate!
Looking at the guys around him who were staring at him closely, Ryan didn't move, he only felt that his face was turning white, his eyes were turning black, and the pen he was holding in his hand seemed to have turned into green bamboo, even though he knew that he would be discovered sooner or later, he didn't expect to become the object of onlookers on the first day of school.
"Ryan, weishenme, you never told us?" The girl asked.
Looks like we don't know each other very well, right? Ryan could only roll his eyes, to be honest, except for Jerry and Peter, he only knew the names of the others in the class.
"I said, when my dad and I went to watch "The Sixth Sense", I always thought that the little boy in it was familiar, and now that I think about it, isn't it the same as when Ryan first came here last year?" Another boy suddenly realized.
"Oh my God, you're still the screenwriter of the movie! My mom loved this movie so much that she went to see it four times, and she said that the story was so wonderful that she cried every time she saw it, and said that the box office of this movie was about to reach $100 million! "It's another girl who is talking," and, Ryan, I want to ask, when will the third episode of Harry Potter come out? ”
Ryan could only smile helplessly, anyway, these people were just curious children, not paparazzi, just when he was about to answer, another person asked, "Ryan, how many big stars have you seen, can you help me get Tom?" Cruise's signature? ”
"And Ryan, how did you come up with these stories?"
"Ryan, are you really an orphan?"
"Ryan, is it fun to make movies? Can you take us on a tour of the site? ”
Maybe I should have transferred! Ryan had this thought, but after thinking of Nicole, who was getting busier and busier, he automatically extinguished this thought, and immediately shouted loudly, "Stop! Stop! ”
The chaotic classroom finally fell silent, but the children were at the most curious age and had no intention of dispersing, especially Jerry, who, after blinking his eyes, suddenly said, "I see! I understand! No wonder Ryan writes and draws every day, it turns out that he is writing stories. ”
"Okay, Jerry, you got it right, but there was no reward." Ryan waved his hand vigorously and said to his classmates, "Harry Potter and other works are indeed created by me, I haven't seen a few big stars, and the only star I've worked with is Al?" Pacino, Tom? Cruise is not familiar with it, and I can't ask for an autograph for you. ”
Then, Ryan smiled playfully, "As for making movies, it's not fun at all. Those film directors have a very bad temper, once you make a mistake, they will reprimand you mercilessly, even if you cry, you will not stop, and no one will sympathize with you, because you have not done your job, and when you shoot at night, you often stay up all night, and if you can't finish the shooting, you are not allowed to sleep! Also, when the director makes you laugh, you have to laugh, when you cry, you have to shed tears immediately, and when you go crazy, you have to immediately become a psychopath, so it's not fun to make a movie at all! ”
Ryan's nonsense, the other children were dumbfounded, in their consciousness, making a movie should be a very interesting thing, I didn't expect to hear such a terrifying answer now.
"Okay, class is coming soon, can you discuss any questions during the lunch break?" Under Ryan's intimidation and persuasion, the gang finally dispersed, and he didn't worry too much, although children at this age were very curious, they often only had three minutes of heat, and when it took longer, they would naturally turn their attention to other aspects.
"Ryan, what you said can't be true, right?" Jerry leaned over again, lowered his voice, and said, "I won't tell anyone else." ”
"Of course...... It's fake! ”
"Also, Ryan, is the third episode of Harry Potter finished? Can we take a look at that first? Peter's head came out.
"Nope." Ryan certainly won't admit it.
When the bell rang for class, Ryan was relieved, he felt that dealing with these peers was more tiring than dealing with the paparazzi, but not long after the class started, he found a new situation.
Ms. Sarah, the teacher of the English class, always glanced at her from time to time, with a curious and inquisitive gaze, even if Ryan was doing his own thing, he was also sensitive to it.
"Ryan, can you do me a little favor?" Just before class ended, Ms. Sara walked over and asked in a low voice.
"Huh? Of course. Ryan put away the pen and flicked his wrist, suddenly realizing that this was his teacher, "I'm sorry......"
"No need for daoqian, Ryan, a kid who can write such a great work, I don't think I have anything else to teach him." Ms. Sara smiled, "My daughter loves the Harry Potter series so much that after watching the second episode, she has been clamoring to watch the third episode, I would like to ask, when will the third episode be released?" ”
……
Burbank is located in the north of Los Angeles, one of the many satellite cities of Los Angeles, where it is best known for its media industry, with the headquarters or important departments of many media and entertainment companies such as NBC, Disney and Warner Bros.
Walt Disney's headquarters, Carter? Eisner left his uncle's office and went all the way back to the office floor belonging to Touchstone Pictures, but the pair of wrinkled eyebrows never separated, making the face that was not handsome almost turned into a bitter melon.
It's no wonder he's worried, Touchstone Pictures has been established for seven years, and although it is backed by the mountain of Disney, it has always lacked works with enough influence in terms of movies and TV shows, not to mention compared with the seven major film companies, even Miramax after the launch of "The Sixth Sense" is about to weigh on their heads.
At the beginning of this year, Carter became the vice president of Touchstone Pictures in charge of the film business, although he tried hard to open up the situation, the effect was not obvious, and the voice of suspicion within the company never disappeared, who made him less than 30 years old this year, who made him Michael? Eisner's nephew.
"Carter, Chris? Director Columbus is waiting for you in the office. When I passed the secretary's desk, the secretary reminded me.
"Chris? Oh, yes, he made an appointment to meet me today. "Carter? Eisner then asked, "How long has he been here?" ”
"It's been more than half an hour."
"Hell, I'm going to hurry, I hope he can bring good news." Carter quickly pushed the door open and entered the office.
Chris in a gray suit? Columbus was sitting on the couch, sipping coffee and reading a book, seemingly fascinated. Eisner didn't even notice when he came in.
"Sorry, Chris, for keeping you waiting!" Carter had no choice but to be the first to say hello.
"It didn't take long for me to finish a story." Chris? Columbus closed the book.
"Okay, Chris." Carter smiled apologetically, "I wonder what you asked me out of today?" Is it the intention to make a new movie? ”
"That's right, Carter." Columbus explained, "I'm looking for a partner and don't know ...... Touchstone Pictures"
He made a gesture you understand.
"Did you bring a script?"
Although the other party's works are not many, almost all of them are blockbusters, and Carter naturally hopes that he can bring himself a surprise.
"The script isn't there yet." Chris? Columbus made another gesture of daoqian, "The story is already there." ”
With that, he handed Carter the book he had closed.
"Ryan's Stories?"
