Chapter 615: Count Me In
"Bang! Bang! Bang! β
After the sound of the gavel, the somewhat chaotic courtroom returned to silence.
The reporters who sat in the gallery sat back in their seats, their ears pricked up and their eyes wide open, for fear of missing every frame or any sound coming from ahead.
Even so, they have to take care of both sides, Ryan, who was sitting in the front row of the auditorium, was expressionless, and Mel, who was convicted of the crime? Gibson slumped in his chair, his unruly head completely down.
After two days of trial, Ryan didn't care about the reporters, and after leaving the courtroom, he got into the car and went straight away, leaving only a black shadow of the camera.
My goal has been achieved, and there is no need to continue to entangle.
Just now, the jury found that Mel? Gibson was convicted of 'driving while intoxicated', 'endangering public safety' and 'suspected of racial discrimination', and was sentenced to 10 years in prison on the spot, with no bail or parole for the first five years.
Although the other party is bound to appeal, Ryan has long been prepared for this, and the result will certainly not change much.
Since Mel? Gibson has a big mouth and likes to spray feces everywhere, so it's better to go to jail and pick up soap.
"Hi dear."
After the bell rang, Ryan leaned into the back seat and pressed the answer button on his phone, "Yes, the results are out." β
He roughly told Taylor, who called, about the court's verdict.
"Ryan, that's how cheap he is?" The girl on the other side didn't seem to be satisfied, "If you don't say those nasty words, he almost hurt Nicole!" We can't just leave it at that......"
"He'll be in prison for at least five years." Ryan pinched his eyebrows with a headache.
Taylor was clearly influenced by him in this regard, and treated the enemy mercilessly.
"It's too short......," the voice in the microphone paused, and the girl added, "Why don't you wait for that guy to go to jail, and let George or Garcia find a few people to go in." Then ......"
"Alison!" Ryan interrupted her, "Have you watched too many movies?" β
"Okay." The girl's voice on the phone seemed a little aggrieved, "However, he hurt you and Nicole......"
"Honey." Ryan understood the girl's mood and said solemnly, "All our counterattacks must be based on the premise of not breaking the law. β
"Even if there is a place to rub the edges, it must be hidden under the heavy curtains." The little girl mischievously continued, "Even if it is dug up, it will not affect us." β
Did you teach this sister badly? Ryan couldn't help but scratch his head a little.
When you hang up. Ryan sat in the car, still thinking about it, but finally shook his head and smiled, it's not a bad thing, is it?
It's always a hundred times better for someone else to be hurt than for your own sister.
In the afternoon, Ryan returned to Disney's headquarters, where he had been performing his duties as creative director since the Oscars.
Perhaps it was his reinterpretable reinterpretation of the fairy tale that played a role, and recently, Disney's creative department sent in a new fairy tale script. There's a legacy of Disney princes and princesses in it, but there's no shortage of innovation.
The script, called "Enchanted", does not jump out of the fairy tale route set by the Brothers Grimm, and the story must be a beautiful princess, a handsome prince and an evil queen. The prince and princess fell in love at first sight, but were hindered by the queen, and then went through many hardships, and finally gave the audience a happy ending.
But in this routine, he dug out a set of gimmicks that combined cartoon and reality. The idealized worldview of fairy tales and the utilitarian ideas of real people will definitely become a highlight in the film.
In addition, the biggest feature of the script is 'time travel', where the princess in the fairy tale is cursed by a wizard. Traveling to the real world of New York, he falls in love with a lawyer, and the lawyer's girlfriend enters a fairy tale and falls in love with the prince inside......
Fairy tale movies are undoubtedly the genre that Disney Studios is best at, and the combination of live-action movies and CG animation is also a bold attempt.
Ryan has only one opinion, on the basis of ensuring basic acting skills, the male and female protagonists must be beautiful enough, even if they use new actors for this purpose.
This kind of movie is completely aimed at the youth market, if the hero and heroine are a pair of crooked melons and cracked dates, the result will definitely be tragic.
Disney has a complete industrial chain and a steady stream of hematopoietic capacity, which does not need to be paid much attention to by Ryan, and after approving the project, he refocused on "Argo".
The film closed in early January of this year, and the post-production is in the midst of intense hustle and bustle. Clooney had already led the editors to cut out rough dailies, and although it hadn't been done enough post-processing, Ryan was satisfied with it.
The film does not have a strong personal style, all the plots are closely around the theme of rescue, and the picture is also like George? As Clooney said, with some of the cinematic style of the seventies and eighties.
"Well done, George!"
In the editing room, Ryan slapped George? Clooney's shoulder, "I believe this will be a masterpiece." β
"Ryan, when are you going to release this movie?" George? Clooney asked with a smile.
"Second half of the ......," Ryan gestured to you understand, "movies aren't just about the box office, it's also about the awards season." β
Such plans are also in George? Clooney's anticipation of the film, which he took on and aimed at the awards season, "we have enough time for post-production......"
He paused and brought up another key thing, "Ryan, the film will be sent to the MPAA soon." β
"Don't worry." Ryan didn't care too much, "I can't guarantee the PG class, but the PG-13 class is definitely fine." β
Although this will be a political thriller and suspense film, there are not many sensitive scenes in it, and the theme of patriotism will also play some role in the rating.
When the sun sank to the horizon and it got dark, Ryan left Disney and went around in circles, picking up Taylor from Hollywood Records and returning to Beverly Hills together.
In the moving car, Ryan pinched his chin and looked at the tall, skinny blonde girl, Taylor straightened his backpack and winked at him with royal blue eyes, "Did something happen?" Or do you think I'm pretty again? β
"Pretty?" Ryan shook his head.
Taylor pursed his lips dissatisfied, wrinkled his nose and said, "In your heart, I will always be that little kid who doesn't grow up." β
Instead of answering her jokes, Ryan said seriously, "Alison, your mom just called me from New York, and she said that you got an F in math on the latest spring test. β
Although he was homeschooled, Taylor still had to take some tests.
"Can you explain what's going on?" Ryan was curious, "You've never failed a grade in the past. β
"You're angry? Disappointed? Taylor didn't seem to care.
"I just wanted to ask what the hell is going on." Ryan understood her cleverness, "I guess there's something going on in there." β
"Or you understand me." Taylor suddenly turned around and hugged him, and said with a little grievance, "When my mother called yesterday, she kept criticizing me. β
"That's a kind of love for you." Ryan patted her on the back comfortingly, "Tell me what happened." β
"I got every question on the test right." The girl leaned back in her seat and said angrily, "But they decided I had failed." β
"Why?" Ryan asked.
"Because I didn't have the process of writing the answers." Taylor glanced at Ryan, who smiled helplessly, "Why don't you write it?" β
"I use mental arithmetic." Taylor said of course, "So I didn't write it." β
"Did you sue them?" Ryan believes it's true.
"Sue sΓΉ, they don't believe me." The girl slapped the car seat hard, "They said they couldn't do mental arithmetic, I must be cheating!" β
"These guys!" Ryan's nose was crooked, "How can they fail you just because you're smarter than them!" β
"That's what I said." Taylor nodded hurriedly.
"Okay, dear." Ryan sighed and rubbed her blonde hair, "I'll call Lady Andrea, and besides, I'll call the people in charge of the test and talk to them." β
"It couldn't be better." The girl's eyes were almost gone.
Ryan didn't expect things to be like this, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile.
After Taylor dropped out of school, in addition to daily music practice, home education did not relax, and his grades were quite good, this is the first time that such a failing situation has occurred, and the Swifts often have to run between New York and Los Angeles because they are in charge of his investments and foundations, although when they are away, Taylor is taken care of by Nicole most of the time, but some worries are inevitable.
Suddenly, Taylor handed over a check and a copy of Scott's authorized signature.
"What is this?" Ryan took it and looked at it, the amount on the check was as high as half a million dollars, "Why do you have so much money?" β
"Part of it is pocket money that I have saved......
"Can you save pocket money?" Ryan couldn't help but look at her.
Although Taylor's habit of spending lavishly is not as good as Paris? Hilton, however, is not much stronger, which is a common problem for most rich children.
"And there's more." Taylor muttered discontentedly, "Did you forget? I've also voiced several Pixar animated films and sold two songs, all for which I was paid. β
"What are you going to do with the money for me?"
Hearing Ryan's question, the girl explained, "Isn't Charlie ready to set up a fashion brand company?" Aren't you going to take a stake in it? Count me in, Dad has agreed......"
She pointed to the paper, "That's his authorized signature." (To be continued......)
