Chapter 388: Liberty Island
After a brief stay in Los Angeles, Ryan set foot on New York soil, and now he is completely out of his student and all his energy is turned to work.
Despite being absent from the most important graduation ceremony, through various means and the invisible care of the USC school, Ryan successfully obtained his graduation certificate from the USC Film School.
"My college life hasn't started yet, you've already graduated." Natalie's voice on the phone was filled with emotion, "Ryan, why don't you come to Harvard Grammar School to continue your studies?" ”
"Forget it, Nat."
Back last month, Ryan learned that Natalie had accepted Harvard's application and would be heading to Cambridge City starting in September, where she would stay for four years, if nothing else.
"Don't you want to be a classmate with me?" The voice in the earpiece was clearly tempting, "If you can apply to Harvard, how about we rent a villa outside the school together, Ryan?" ”
It's a tempting proposition, and Ryan is tempted, but if you do, you're killing yourself.
"Nat, I'm short on time." Ryan didn't want to dwell on the topic, "When will your propaganda in the Far East end?" ”
"It's going to be a while, and then we're going to leave Tokyo for South Korea." Natalie seemed to remember something and giggled, "It's the first power in the universe!" ”
Obviously, the Long Island girl still remembers that strange science fiction novel.
"Let me think about it." Ryan matched Natalie's tone, "After the Star Wars prequel is released, they will definitely say that Queen Amidala has South Korean blood...... Well, maybe I'll talk about the beautiful Natalie? Miss Portman, too, is a descendant of theirs. ”
"Ryan......" The voice on the other end of the phone suddenly became much lower.
"What's wrong, Nat?" Ryan also stopped these pointless jokes.
"I miss you, Ryan." With Natalie's character, she can say such things. I must have missed him very much.
"I miss you too, Nat." Ryan leaned back in the seat of the car.
"It's been a long time since we've seen each other." Natalie seemed to be talking to herself, "Sometimes when I wake up in the morning, I wish I was holding you instead of a pillow, and I wish I could see you now......"
After the sound of disconnection came from the phone, Ryan was silent for a long time, and suddenly said to George on the co-pilot, "Inform the crew and apply for a route to Seoul as soon as possible." ”
Then, he said to the driver. "Don't go to the villa on Long Island, let's go straight to the location on Liberty Island!"
Liberty Island is a small island just outside of New York Harbor that is famous for its uninhabited Statue of Liberty, the symbol of the world of Liberty!
Like most sci-fi movies, the Big Apple is the city of choice for destruction and salvation, and the main battlefield of "X-Men" is also placed here, and the crew is currently gathering many actors to go on location on Liberty Island.
Ryan with director Brian? Singh said hello. Found Stan quickly? Li, the old man is very enthusiastic about the filming of the movie, and it is said that he will come to the crew every few days to communicate with the actors and directors. After hearing the news that he was coming over today, he ran as soon as possible.
Stan? Lee saw Ryan like he saw countless green dollar bills, "Hey. Ryan. ”
"Hello, Stan." Ryan shook his hand and quipped. "Is there anything happy about it, you can say it and share it."
"I'm not happy, but since you agreed to issue an additional $40 million in stock, Spider-Man ...... "Stan?" Li reiterates that firstly, he really likes his children, and secondly, according to the agreement signed at the beginning, 5% of the movie's profits will belong to him, "'Blade' has proven that our superheroes will be just as popular on the big screen." ”
"Don't worry, Stan, didn't I ask you to prepare a script?"
Ryan said that the success of "Blade" has given Marvel executives enough confidence in their comic book beliefs, and this movie, which was originally only aimed at comic book fans, has now earned nearly $300 million at the global box office, even if it does not count derivatives, it can achieve a profit of more than 10 million dollars at the box office alone.
As for the additional $40 million in shares, except for a few who were subscribed by amazing executives and employees, the vast majority fell into his own hands.
The more amazing shares he has in his hands, the more confident he will be when he faces Disney in the future.
"Shh......h It's time to start filming. "Stan? Lee raised his index finger at his lips.
Nodding, Ryan looked over to the set, where the fight between Wolverine and the Shapeshifter was being filmed, and he observed for a while and found that the filming process was extremely unsmooth.
Wolverine is okay to say, his plastic paws are clinging to his hands with silicone, plus Hugh? Jackman is very careful when fighting, and it is rare for it to fall off or skew.
But Rebecca, who plays the Witch? Romene is different, she has more than 100 pieces of silicone similar to muscle tissue pasted on her body, and the silicone will fly out if she moves a little bigger, and there is blue food coloring sprayed on the silicone, which often makes flowers rest? Jackman's leather costume.
"That's pretty good."
Just when filming stopped on set, Charlize? Theron's voice came from behind Ryan, "The last time I filmed the fight between Wolverine and the Shapeshifter, Rebecca spat out a bunch of blue stuff on Hugh. ”
"Charlie." Ryan nodded at her, noticing Stan? Old man Li didn't know when Lu Dao had walked away.
"You're finally willing to come to see me?"
Charlize? Theron stepped forward and grabbed his arm, Ryan subconsciously retracted it, and the South African diamond pulled his hand back very smartly, and deliberately asked, "Do you need me to keep my distance from you?" ”
"Charlie!" Ryan glared at her, Charlize? Theron smiled like a spring breeze, "How long will you be in New York?" ”
"Probably ......," Ryan hesitated, but said, "I'm leaving in the evening, and I'm in a hurry." ”
He looked at Charlize again? Theron was wearing a casual outfit and asked, "Don't have your role today?" ”
"Mine is done." Charlize looked at Wolverine and the Demon Girl who were still being tortured by the props, and said happily, "Jean? Gray's ability depends on post-production, and my scene was fairly easy to film. ”
Needless to say, Ryan also understands that Phoenix Girl is good at electrocardiogram and mental strength, which are difficult to directly reflect in filming.
"Why are you leaving so soon, when I called you yesterday, didn't you say you were going to stay here for a few days?" Charlize? Theron's tone and expression were tinged with just the right amount of complaint, which was not offensive, but also made people feel guilty.
"I have urgent business to rush to the Far East." Ryan's eyes moved to the Statue of Liberty, "I'm sorry, Charlie. ”
"It's okay, Ryan." Charlize? Theron smiled understandingly, "I know, you have a lot of work to deal with, I'll go back to New Zealand after filming this scene, and you'll be waiting for me over there, right?" ”
"I ...... Guarantee! Ryan nodded emphatically.
The two were like ordinary friends, standing quietly opposite the Statue of Liberty from a short distance, watching the hustle and bustle on the set, Charlize? Theron's eyes occasionally turn away from Ryan, probably because of her childhood experience, she is fully prepared for love, and there are several top people in the whole of Hollywood standing next to her, and she knows what kind of means she needs to use to completely capture his heart.
Hollywood is never short of drunken fans, those debauched bed partners can easily find a lot for powerful people, and a person who has lacked family affection since childhood must need thoughtfulness and warmth.
Charlize? Theron felt that she and Ryan were in a sense the same kind of people, both going through the darkest period of their lives in their childhood.
Maybe it was God's will to be able to meet him? Charlize has never denied that she approached Ryan for other purposes, and he also does not deny that in the end, the two can come together because of their true affection.
Seeing that the crew suspended filming, Charlize? Theron looked around, "Do you need me to introduce you?" ”
Ryan didn't answer, and made a gesture of please.
Although "X-Men" did not invite Hollywood superstars, most of the people who could get the main roles were old faces in the circle, except for the previous Hugh? Jackman and Rebecca? Romene, and Patrick, who didn't come today? Stewart and Ian? Outside of McLean, Harry who plays Storm Girl? Berry and director Brian? Singh, Ryan had seen it before, and he simply said hello.
However, I also met an acquaintance I hadn't seen for a long time.
"Ryan, you don't know me, do you?" The actress who played the little mischievous walked up to him.
"Catherine? Isabel. "How could Ryan forget this in True Lies, by James? Cameron tossed the dead and alive actress, "Hello, Kate, haven't seen you in a few years." ”
He has the impression that since he recommended her to star in "Jumanji", the Canadian actress's development has been quite smooth.
"Your childhood friend?"
After most of the people are gone, Charlize? Theron walked over from Mr. Director, "I remember she starred in a lot of movies about you. ”
"James? Cameron's relatives. Ryan explained casually.
Charlize nodded, she understood that the human feelings within the rules sometimes play a huge role, she rolled her eyes, and suddenly said, "Originally, the crew thought that the most suitable for this role was Natalie......"
"She refused, didn't she?"
As soon as Ryan finished speaking, George walked over with the mobile phone he had just hung up, "Ryan, the plane is ready." ”
Nodding, Ryan sighed, "That's it for today, Charlie, we'll talk about it when you get to New Zealand." (To be continued......)
