With the roar of its engines, the Boeing broke off the runway, took to the skies, and flew into the route to Sydney.
Ryan was traveling to Australia for the first time, and he couldn't help but be a little curious about this kangaroo kingdom, sitting in the first-class chair and constantly flipping through the travel magazine he bought before getting on the plane.
"Would you like something to drink, Ryan?" Nicole sitting next to her? Kidman asked.
"Not yet."
Christmas is just around the corner, and for Westerners, it's one of the most important holidays.
Just a few days ago, after five months of hard shooting, "Jurassic Park" was officially closed, and the film has a higher budget, longer shooting time, and better production.
ILM has already completed some post-CG special effects, and Ryan has tried it out, and it is very good.
After such a long shoot, Nicole plans to take a good rest for a while and simply take Ryan back to Australia to spend this Christmas.
Although Nicole's parents died young, Ryan knew that she still had a younger sister in Australia, and she was invited to go back this time.
In fact, Ryan later talked to Nicole and learned that Kidman was a very prominent family in Australia, owning a vast private land.
When people think of Sydney, the opera house and the bridge are often the first thing that comes to mind, but in Ryan's unscrupulous memory, the spider, claimed to be the deadliest poisonous spider in the world.
"Nicole, I heard that there is a funnel spider in Sydney, after biting someone. Fifteen minutes to kill someone? Ryan asked, looking up.
"That's right." Nicole nodded, clearly aware of what he was thinking. "Ryan, stop your ramblings. I've only seen this spider in museums. ”
"Oh." Ryan seemed to think of something else, "I heard that there is a poisonous snake in Australia......"
"Ryan, shut up!" In Nicole? Ryan obediently closed his mouth as Kidman glared at him, "Okay, I'll sleep for a while." ”
When the plane arrived in Sydney, Ryan went through an instant transition from winter to summer, changing into a short-sleeved sweatshirt and sweatpants and a pair of sunglasses stuck on the bridge of his nose. Dragging him and Nicole's luggage, he walked outside the airport.
The Australian girl has long since changed into a light-colored dress, and in addition to the indispensable sunglasses, she also wears a wide-brimmed sunhat on her head, which covers most of her face, and she is more famous in this country.
Fortunately, it was early summer, and although the weather was a little hot, it was not yet unbearable. As soon as he stepped out of the airport passage, Ryan saw a brown-haired woman approaching.
Is she better than Nicole? Kidman was a little shorter, and there was a slight resemblance in appearance, and Ryan had seen pictures of her. None other than Nicole's sister Antonia? Kidman.
"Annie, this is Ryan."
After the two sisters said hello, Nicole introduced Ryan to her sister.
"Hello. Miss Antonia, it's a pleasure to meet you. ”
"Hello. Ryan, are you really only twelve? So high. Not at all. ”
"Actually, in a few days I'll be thirteen."
A few people laughed and got into the car driven by Antonia, in Ryan's opinion, the trip was not bad, at least it did not alarm reporters and paparazzi.
The car didn't drive to the hotel, but went straight to the outskirts of the city, which is one of the houses left behind by Nicole's parents, with a slightly classical English style, not only a grassy vestibule, but also a small back garden.
Antonia? Kidman lives here despite having a boyfriend who is not currently married, but Nicole's room has always been preserved.
"Ryan, bring the salute up."
On the second floor, Nicole's shouts were heard, and since he didn't bring bodyguards and assistants, Ryan had to work part-time as a coolie.
Nicole's suitcase is not heavy, and there are only some clothes in it, but Ryan is different, the tools such as books, manuscripts, easels and other things he carries with him are quite weighty, but fortunately, he has enough strength to carry them upstairs one by one.
"It's your room." Nicole walked into the room across the door, turned to Ryan and said, "Need my help, dear?" ”
"No, I think you and Anne must have a lot to say, right? I won't bother you. ”
When Nicole walked out of the room, Ryan simply cleaned up his salute and simply threw himself on the bed, feeling jet lag.
When he woke up, the sun was yellow, and he was about to set, and after cleaning up some personal problems, Ryan went downstairs to find that the room was empty, and there was a message on the table in the living room, but it was Nicole and her sister who were out shopping.
It was Christmas in two days, and it was time for the big purchase, and Ryan shook his head and entered the small garden through the back door.
Australia is vast and sparsely populated, and even in a big city like Sydney, people with a little bit of assets tend to have a good independent home, although Antonia says it's just a small garden, which is actually bigger than Ryan and Nicole's home in Los Angeles.
After walking around the garden for a few times, Ryan felt quite bored, to put it bluntly, whether in his past life or in this life, he was a layman, and it was really difficult to find special beauty in the natural environment.
"Ryan~"
I don't know how long later, Nicole's shout came from the house, and Ryan replied, "I'm in the garden." ”
"Well, Anne and I will call you when we are ready for dinner, no trick-or-treating."
The words that came made Ryan couldn't help but have a dark face, is he so unreliable? Even if there are occasional out-of-the-box words, most of them are just words, when have they been practiced?
If I'm that unreliable, it's Joseph? Blatter's old pervert has long been in the Atlantic Ocean as fish food. Ryan thought indignantly.
In the spacious kitchen, Nicole and Antonia were busy with dinner, watching Nicole skillfully handle the ingredients and make delicious food, Antonia couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"Nicole, when did you become good at cooking?" In the past, when Nicole came back, both of them went to the restaurant to eat.
"It's always been outstanding."
"Come on, Nicole, before you leave Australia, you can poison rats with the food you cook." Antonia revealed mercilessly.
"Ryan likes to eat the food I make, and over the years, the craft has naturally improved."
Nicole said indifferently, but Antonia was a little curious, "By the way, Nicole, Ryan really picked it up from the Walk of Fame casually?" Why didn't I have such good luck. ”
Sister's words couldn't help but make Nicole think of the meeting between the two on the Avenue of Fame, whether it was Ryan she picked up, or Ryan who chose her, she still hasn't figured it out, maybe it's the fate of fate and God's will.
"Who knows." Nicole smiled sweetly.
"Nicole, I see a lot of entertainment reports saying that you are very likely to be nominated for Best Supporting Actress again at the Oscars next year, is it true?"
"Before the nominations are announced, any possibility will arise...... Well, Ryan is working with Miramax on a joint PR session. ”
"Him?" Antonia was even more curious, "He'll only be thirteen years old in a few days......"
"Annie, Ryan is far more precocious and intelligent than the media portrays, what do you think I have developed so smoothly in Hollywood in the past few years?" Nicole is not confused, on the contrary, she is very smart, although there are many things that Ryan never says, and where she does not understand.
"That circle is much more complicated than this......" Nicole shook her head, knowing that Ryan had kidnapped many allies with common interests.
"Nicole, if you get nominated again, aren't you going to fight for the Golden Man for Best Supporting Actress?" Antonia asked with concern.
"I will still do the necessary publicity and PR, but Ryan said that it is still the stage of accumulating qualifications......"
Listening to her sister's words, Antonia gradually tasted something else, one is that she hasn't seen her for more than a year, Nicole seems to have changed a lot, especially Ryan is always inseparable from her words, and the other is to accumulate enough qualifications, what do you want to strive for?
Best Actress! Antonia could only think of this one answer.
Are they so confident? Antonia was skeptical at first, then thought about what the teenager in the garden had done in the past few years, and immediately realized that it was only a matter of time before her sister won Best Actress.
Nicole's luck is so good! She could have thought the same thing at this point.
Dinner wasn't very rich, but Ryan had his favorite food in front of him, and of course, the indispensable beans.
While waving knives and forks, the three of them talked about topics from all over the world, and they talked about wherever they wanted.
"For food, British food has a certain history, but I don't like it." Ryan was commenting on a few famous cuisines, "British food is too sweet for my liking, French food is very delicate, so delicate that people can only taste it and can't eat enough, in contrast, I still like Italian food more, and of course pizza is not included." ”
"He doesn't like pizza and fast food like burgers." Nicole said with a smile.
"My favorite is Chinese food." Ryan grunted and recommended a whole bunch of dish names.
"I've been to Chinatown and it doesn't feel too special." Antonia frowned.
"You've eaten Westernized Chinese food."
"My dear, we can't enjoy those authentic Chinese dishes." Nicole laughed at this time, "Is that the mapo tofu you recommended for me last time called?" Oh God, after only a few bites, I couldn't feel my mouth. ”
Ryan then laughed, after living in North America for so many years, how could he not know that there are very few Westerners who can eat authentic Chinese food.
"Nicole, and Ryan, if you can, can you do an interview with my show?"
Antonia? Kidman is a TV host in Sydney, and although he is not as famous as his sister, he is also a little famous.
"Forget it, Annie, we're back on vacation, not working." Presumably it was her sister who made the request, and Nicole thought about it for a moment, "Let's talk about it after Christmas, okay?" (To be continued......)
