Out of the airport, John? Bennet tightened his coat, it was already hot in Los Angeles in April, and there was a hint of chill in the breeze that blew through Warsaw.

Instead of rushing to the set on the outskirts of Warsaw, as his other colleagues on the same plane, he found a restaurant, enjoyed hot cocoa and freshly grilled steak unhurriedly, and then called a taxi.

Other reporters may not be able to meet Ryan when they go? Jenkins, and with his connections with the Los Angeles Times, even if he can't get an interview, it's still okay to ask a few questions.

Just two days ago, Lucasfilm and Pie? Kingsley co-hosted a press conference to announce that Ryan? Jenkins will join "Star Wars Prequel 2", and the role will be an adult Anakin? Skywalker, aka Padmay? Amidala's lover.

The combined influence of the Star Wars series and Ryan can be imagined, and almost instantly, the media turned their attention to distant Warsaw, and then a flood of reporters came here.

After getting out of the taxi, as expected, all the reporters were stopped outside a street by the staff. Bennet stood on tiptoe and looked out towards the end of the street, where the crew seemed to be filming a battle scene, with many actors in German uniforms, carrying prop guns and moving back and forth, and occasionally a small ball of fireball and smoke rising after the sound of an explosion.

With the rumbling of engines, an old tank painted with an iron cross also drove into the street.

John? Bennet searched as best he could, but couldn't find Ryan, as if he wasn't involved in the scene.

Retracting his gaze, he looked at the staff members who were blocking the reporters, most of them strangers, not the employees of Jenkins Films he was familiar with, and from the strange English they drank, he assumed that they were probably French or Polish.

He had a relationship with a lot of people at Jenkins Films. But I don't have a relationship with these people.

Just as he took out the phone and was about to dial the number, behind the staff who blocked the way, a Chinese face walked by. Bene knew and was interviewed by the Los Angeles Times, a classmate and friend of Ryan's.

"Hey, Chen." He shouted, and after attracting the attention of the other party, he quickly beckoned, "This way!" ”

"Mr. Bennet?" Chen Jiazheng walked over a little strangely. "Are you here for an interview?"

"yes." John? Bennet nodded and asked, "Can you take me in?" ”

"You're going to interview Ryan? Or director Polanski? Chen Jiazheng asked again.

"Ryan, of course."

Although Roman? Polanski's scandal is a good subject for hype, but how can it compare to Ryan's influence in the United States.

"This ......," Chen Jiazheng remembered that the Los Angeles Times was Ryan's partner, "so let's ask Ryan if he won't accept it......"

He made a gesture you understand.

"Thank you!" John? Bennet said politely, "I'll treat you in the evening." ”

It didn't take long for a Jenkins Film crew member to walk over. To John? Bennet beckoned, and the rest of the reporters couldn't help but look at him enviously.

"Hey, John, take us inside."

"It's not fair. Why can he go in, and we can't? ”

"You're obstructing the freedom of the press."

"Haven't you heard, at the beginning of the year, the Los Angeles Times raised money. Ryan has become one of the shareholders......"

Since returning to Warsaw, the filming progress of the entire crew has increased at a linear pace, and everyone from the actors to Polanski seems to have adjusted the pace. Although there are still some small accidents from time to time, it is much smoother than when the camera was just turned on.

Ryan's scene today is over, and what is still being filmed outside is the scenes that Spearman sees as a bystander, the roar of the tank engine and the muffled sound of the explosion, which will be transmitted into the rest room from time to time.

Because the shooting was in post-production, Ryan didn't need to maintain a more strict diet like before, and after eating the dark chocolate to replenish his strength, he looked at Mr. Reporter who was sitting on the side.

"John, I haven't seen you in a long time." Ryan motioned to the staff next to him to bring him coffee, "How did you have time to come to Warsaw?" ”

"It's not just me, there are at least 50 reporters outside the set." He smiled and added, "It's just coming with me, and I guess there will be more after today." ”

Of course, Ryan knew what they were here for, definitely not for "The Pianist", after all, the hottest hype period for this movie has passed, it must be for the Star Wars series and Anakin? Skywalker.

Nat! Ryan muttered in his heart.

The Long Island girl, in order to divert the attention of reporters, for the sake of her own peace, sold him to George like this? Lucas, and the bearded man also wanted to completely stir up the topic before the movie was released, and went directly to the pie? Kinsley.

Sighing, Ryan is still very aware of being a shield, of course her own Nat has to protect herself, if she doesn't come to herself when she is in trouble, but someone else, it will be a tragedy......

Well, Nat, think of it for your Harvard dream and the National Scholar Award.

"Can we begin, Ryan?"

Presumably seeing Ryan in a trance, John? Bennet had no choice but to ask tentatively.

"Ah, you ask, but it's only ten minutes." Ryan looked at his watch and continued, "Only about movies. ”

"The old rules, I understand." John? Bennet smiled, took out a small tape recorder, and after Ryan nodded, he pressed the record button, "Is 'The Pianist' going well, and when will the shooting be completed?" Was it a pleasure to work with director Polanski? ”

"My role can end by the end of the month at the latest." Ryan pointed to the coffee on the table and gestured to him, "Director Polanski is a very demanding director, you can see if you look at my current look, he is also a great director!" ”

Very formulaic answer, John? Bennet didn't expect anything shocking, he looked at Ryan, who seemed to be in much better spirits despite being as emaciated as he had been on the Oscars red carpet.

"Playing as Anakin? Is Skywalker an invitation from director Lucas? He asked again.

"I think about it, it was about '96......" Ryan looked thoughtful, "I met George at USC, and he extended me an invitation......"

"I guess the ghost threat was being prepared at that time, right?"

"That's right, George originally asked me to play Obi? Prosperous? Kenobi, Anakin? Skywalker is what I fought so hard for? ”

"For what?" John? Bennet looked gossipy and tentatively said, "It's because of ...... Natalie? Miss Portman? ”

"So to speak."

Without waiting for the other party to show an excited look, Ryan said again, "As early as when Natalie and I first became good friends, we agreed to compete in the same movie in the future, and now I have a chance......

Seeing a shocking gossip scandal come to naught, John? Bennet was a little disappointed, "Ryan, you should have seen the filming on the set, right?" Can you comment on Miss Natalie's performance during the shoot? ”

"She's going to be one of the biggest highlights of the movie."

The entire Star Wars prequel series in the previous life was criticized by critics as worthless, and only Natalie received unanimous praise.

After accepting John? After a brief interview with Bennet, Ryan returned to his role as Spearman, and he did not respond despite the growing number of reporters gathered outside the crew, sometimes even affecting the filming.

It wasn't until the Los Angeles Times published the interview that things got much better, and the media and reporters couldn't afford to revolve around him forever, and in late April, the set of Warsaw was calm again.

The crew left the set and moved to a rented house near the suburbs to film Spearman, who hides alone in the ruins of the war.

And the actor who played the Nazi officer who helped Spearman also came to the crew at this time.

This is a very young German actor with distinct Germanic features in his appearance.

"Hello, Ryan."

After entering the dressing room, the German actor first introduced himself, "I'm Michael? Fassbinder, just call me Michael. ”

"Hello Michael."

The makeup artist was sticking a black beard to his face, and Ryan could only say a vague hello, then shook the other party's outstretched hand, and made a small joke, "The person who saved me from the dire situation is here." ”

Then he asked curiously, "Are you German?" ”

"Yes." The other man nodded.

Ryan looked at his appearance again and made sure that he was not wrong, but he didn't expect that he had just dealt with the old Magneto in his previous life, and here he met the younger version of Magneto.

However, it's normal to think about it, these actors who have not yet become famous will cherish every opportunity to audition, Michael? It's no surprise that Fassbinder is here through an audition.

"This is my first film role."

Because of the constraints, the two used a dressing room, and when Ryan asked, Michael? "I've been back and forth between the UK and Los Angeles a lot since 1994, and I've had some small roles in TV series, but this is the first time I've been in a movie. ”

"Give it all your might, Michael."

After putting on his makeup, Ryan stood up and patted him on the shoulder, "As long as you perform well, this movie is enough to open the door to Hollywood for you." ”

Before he could get out of the dressing room, George, who was guarding outside, suddenly walked in, leaned over to Ryan's side and whispered, "Someone has come to visit the class." ”

Visiting a class? Who? Ryan was curious that he hadn't received a call from someone to visit the class.

When he stepped out of the room, he saw the pretty girl standing behind the camera, wrapped in a gray Armani jacket, wearing some whitish blue jeans, sneakers on her feet, and even a combed ponytail was not unusual.

"Nat, why are you here?" Ryan strode over. (To be continued......)
