Chapter 218: Curse
"Wow, Fortune cover character, Ryan, you're amazing."
Natalie sat in the co-pilot of the Land Rover, staring at Ryan who was driving intently with strange eyes.
"Come on, Nat, do you have to use that tone?" Ryan glanced at her, then quickly turned his head back.
Unlike the last time they met, Natalie's appearance has completely grown, and she has a faint demeanor that belongs to her, and her idols in her past life and her friends in this life have almost become one person.
"Why not?" Natalie eventually looked back.
After all, they haven't seen each other for more than half a year, and neither of the two has any intention of arguing, Natalie came to Los Angeles yesterday, in addition to attending an event announcement, and with Pie? Kingsley has signed a new broker contract.
"Nat, you don't have to be afraid of him, as long as we join forces, we will definitely be able to defeat this scoundrel Ryan!" A childish girl's voice came from the back seat, "Right, Christine?" ”
"Me? It's none of my business. "The little girl with short hair is very smart to stay out of it.
"Humph!" Then Taylor's nasal voice sounded, "Christine, you're such a disappointment!" ”
Ryan and Natalie looked at each other and smiled, with the little guy in the back, it was impossible to be quiet, since getting in the car, she had interjected from time to time to show her existence, for fear that the two people in front of her would ignore her.
Looking at the rearview mirror, the two little guys were still honestly wearing seat belts, Ryan was relieved, stepped on the accelerator, and increased the speed again.
"Aren't you going to pick up Scarlett?" Natalie was a little confused.
"Well, they just moved." Ryan got onto the road to Laurel Valley in North Hollywood, "How long have you not seen her, Nat?" ”
"Since she moved to Los Angeles, we've only been on the phone, we've written letters." Natalie closed the window. Tugging back at the wind-blown curls, Scarlett has grown. ”
"You've grown up too, Nat!" Ryan sighed meaningfully.
The car quickly stopped in front of a detached villa near Laurel Valley, Ryan honked the horn a few times, and Scarlett, who was wearing a green dress and had half-length blonde hair? Johnson, ran out of his home.
"Hey, Scarlett, over here!" Natalie opened the car door and jumped in.
"Nat, I haven't seen you in a long time." Between words. Two girls, one older and one younger, hugged each other tightly.
Looking at the two girls who hugged each other and kissed each other, Ryan couldn't help but scratch his head a little, the relationship between these two people was far better than he imagined, even in his previous life. These two people are barely friends, but they are not so close.
"Ladies. It's not early. ”
Seeing that they didn't stop. Ryan had no choice but to shout.
"Hi, Ryan." Scarlett walked to the car and greeted several people one after another, and everyone in the car knew each other, "And Taylor and Christine." ”
"Hello, Scarlett." Christine waved to her in a friendly way.
"Hmph~" The little head with blonde curly hair is tilted to the side.
"Hey. Taylor, what about your politeness? Ryan looked back, and the little girl wrinkled her nose, "I don't want to pay attention to her." ”
"Let's get in the car first." Natalie opened the car door. The first to climb up to the co-pilot.
"Why can't you sit in the back, Nat?" It was Taylor who spoke.
It's just that as soon as she finished speaking, Scarlett was already sitting in the back seat, probably because of the age difference of several years, she just pouted and didn't say anything.
"They...... It's not going to fight, is it? ”
Ryan glanced in the rearview mirror and leaned into Natalie's ear, and the Long Island girl rewarded him with a pair of white eyeballs, "You think everyone is as boring as you?" ”
"Then you pay more attention to the back."
With that, Ryan started the car, and the car quickly pulled onto the intercontinental highway to Richmond.
"Where are you taking us?" Natalie looked back at the back of the car and felt a little relieved to see that George's car was crashing not far away, apparently, she felt that Mr. Bodyguard was more reliable than the guy next to her.
"It's supposed to be Pixar, right?" Scarlett leaned into the front seat and guessed.
"Bingo!" Ryan snapped his fingers, "Don't you want to see where Toy Story was born?" ”
"Of course." The two youngest children shouted in unison.
"You should have another purpose, right?" The one who knows Ryan the most among them is Natalie.
"Honey, I'm just taking you to see Pixar......" Before Ryan could finish speaking, Natalie laughed, "By the way, a little favor, right, Ryan?" ”
"But how can we help?" The two little girls asked.
"Oh, I heard from my mom that Pixar had just built a new restaurant and playground, and the pastries were said to taste good." Ryan could see the green glow in Christine's eyes in the rearview mirror.
"Come on, Christine, if you eat it again, you'll be a chubby chick like Scarlett." Taylor had a pleading expression, but he didn't know that he had offended another girl.
But any girl who loves beauty will never like others to call herself a chubby girl, and Scarlett is no exception, and immediately sneered, "Taylor? Miss Swift, where do you tell I'm fat? Even if I'm a little fat, I'm prettier than a girl who doesn't even have front teeth! ”
"My teeth will come out soon."
"That's a pair of rabbit teeth, too!"
"You're the guy, you're going to be short and fat in the future!"
"You're going to be a six-foot-tall hemp stalk in the future, or an airfield!"
"Can you be quiet for a while?" Natalie had no choice but to turn around and fight.
It's a pity that the two girls are obviously angry, just like two fighting cocks chattering non-stop, but fortunately, the two of them are still a little measured, and there is no momentum to move.
"Taylor, Scarlett, don't quarrel, okay?" Christine weakly persuaded.
"Shut up, Christine, or you'll be a tomboy in the future!"
Is this a curse? Ryan listened to these seemingly outrageous, but actually somewhat reliable words, and finally couldn't help it.
"Shut up! Taylor, apologize to Scarlett, and Scarlett don't say any more! ”
"I ...... I don't want it! ”
"Alison, I think you should be in a car with George." Ryan showed the attitude he had when he taught her music.
"I ...... All right. Excuse me, Scarlett? Johnson. ”
Sighing slightly, Ryan was a little helpless, since he came to Los Angeles, this little guy can be said to have grown up in thousands of favors, and the family is far richer than in his previous life, and he treats her as a sister and spoiled Nicole? Kidman, and other big names who favor her for the sake of him and Nicole's face.
Is this princess disease?
Fortunately, as she grows older, she can still calm her by putting on a face. I just don't know what will happen to Lu Dao when he grows up.
"Wow, is this Pixar?"
As soon as the car stopped, several little guys looked not far away, which was the newly renovated office area of Pixar.
After the IPO financing, Pixar has sufficient development funds. Not only did they buy new equipment, but they also bought several nearby buildings. The office area will be transformed into a more free and lively area. In addition, a restaurant full of childlike fun and imagination has been added.
"It's so beautiful, is this the lamp? Ryan, can you install one for me at home? ”
Everyone stood in front of the office area, facing Pixar's iconic table lamp, and Taylor clearly took a fancy to it.
"Alright, dear. When you go, each of you can take home a smaller one. ”
Ryan didn't bring them here to rob, and it was the advice of a few of Pixar's top executives to choose children of different ages to watch the latest animated clips.
Brand new screening room. Everyone including Ryan sat quietly in their chairs, watching the pictures played on the screen with full attention, even if there was no soundtrack, even the dubbing of more than a dozen insect characters was added temporarily, but these vivid bugs, from the moment they appeared on the screen, attracted the attention of all the little guys.
"It's ant ......," Christine, the youngest, couldn't help but shout.
"Shh
Under Ryan's raised fingers, she quickly fell silent, staring at the ants fighting the grasshopper without blinking.
That's right! Pixar management brought Ryan and others over to watch a clip of the trial production of "Bug Squad".
After the huge success of Toy Story, many people suggested that the production of a sequel should start immediately. Lassett had a different idea, and he got inspiration from "The Ant and the Grasshopper" in "Aesop's Prophecy", found someone to adapt the current script, and led the team to make a short clip.
The clip quickly came to an end, and the moment the screen disappeared, a few of the little ones — and the children of some Pixar employees — screamed.
"What's the matter?"
"Am I going to keep watching?"
"Those bugs look like ants and grasshoppers, that's funny......"
"Kids, this is just a preview clip, and if you want to see a movie, you'll have to wait a few years." Ed? Kamuel stood up, "Do you think it looks good?" ”
"It's pretty!"
"Hmm...... It's as fun as Toy Story. ”
"Uncle Ed, when will I see the full movie."
Although the sound was a little messy, more than a dozen children were all dissatisfied, and a few were clamoring to play it again.
"Ryan, what do you think?" Ed? Camel and John? After comforting the children, Lasseter came to the three oldest people, after all, Pixar is not a young animation, but an all-age movie.
"It's funny." Natalie's opinion on animated films can be completely ignored.
"It's not as intimate as Toy Story, but the bugs are cute, and not as creepy as they are in life." Scarlett? Johnson nodded.
"What about you, Ryan?"
"Ed, and John, I'd like to ask you about your next plans." Instead of answering, Ryan asked a question.
"We're going to make 'Bug Team' first, and then we're going to start 'Toy Story 2' after the tedious work of character finalization is over." Talking is Ed, who is the CEO? Kamel.
"Where's the money?" Ryan asked again.
"We have enough budget to support both of these projects."
"Okay." Ryan nodded, "I don't have any other opinions, but I hope the next game will still be like Toy Story." (To be continued......)
