Chapter 54: Interview 2
Compared with those talk shows that Ryan has watched, Kate is quite polite, and some sensitive issues are superficial, without endless digging deep, which is related to Pie Kingsley's public relations in advance, and also related to his age.
Besides, in the case of the conflict with Tom Cruise, although he is the winner of Zuihou, the media and the public still put him in the position of the weak, and adults have some sympathy for children.
"Strictly speaking, 'The Sixth Sense' is your first exposure to acting, but you have amazing acting skills, how did you do it?" Kate asked.
"It has something to do with my experience, after all, a lot of the movie comes from my life ...... except for the thriller part" Ryan pulled the tiger skin again, and it didn't cost money to lie anyway.
"Have you ever been abused in a welfare home?"
"Not before the age of six." Ryan shook his head first, then frowned, "The welfare home is indeed a place with very indifferent feelings, let's put it this way, except for Dean Katie, I am not familiar with other people, and as for what happened after Dean Katie retired, I don't want to mention it again." ”
"Okay." Kate changed the subject, "What about with Miss Nicole Kidman?" ”
"Nicole is my only relative, and the most important person to me." Without thinking about it, Ryan replied, "Can you imagine, I escaped from the welfare home, penniless, at a loss, asking for help, only to be rejected as a homeless person, and in that case, I met Nicole on the Walk of Fame, she almost didn't hesitate, she did her best to help me, in order to get custody of me, she used up all her savings, even sold her house and car, and owed a lot of debt for it. ”
Although many media have reported on the affair between him and Nicole, they did not dig up this kind of secret that only a few people knew, and at this time, the audience exclaimed, it is impossible for them to do all this for a person they don't know.
"I know that some people never mind looking at other people in the worst way, and they think that Nicole won custody of me because of the huge benefits, but at that time, Nicole didn't know about my writing, and in the past few years, even in the most difficult times, Nicole has not used a dollar from me, but she is actually responsible for all my expenses."
As soon as Ryan finished speaking, the audience erupted in warm applause, is there anything more reliable than the words that come out of the mouths of the parties?
"Ryan, I don't know if you've noticed, but there are many couples who have made statements in the press, saying that you are their lost child."
"As I said, I only have one relative on this shijie, and that is Nicole Kidman!" Ryan looked solemn.
Probably the director of the show informed Kate of something, she touched the earbuds and quickly changed the subject, "The results you achieved last year were too dazzling, many people are saying that you are God's favorite, what do you think?" ”
"Definitely not." Ryan pretended to pouted helplessly, "I do have a very keen sense of art, and I have some talent in this area, but God is fair to everyone, if he gives you a pearl, he will take a diamond, I actually have a very bad aspect, but others don't know it." ”
"Can you talk about that?" Kate's eyes lit up.
"I had a hard time concentrating and could wander at any moment." Ryan spread his hands, "Also, I found myself unable to go to the kitchen, and the only time I made coffee, I almost ordered the entire apartment building, and for this, the neighbors came to protest. ”
The audience laughed, and in their opinion, such a boy is a normal person, with a prominent side and a bad side.
"Anything else?"
"Hmm......" Ryan thought about it, but Zuihou said anyway, "Well, that's my biggest secret." ”
"Wow~" There was a burst of admiration from the audience, followed by the sound of coaxing.
"I can't touch alcohol, I have a severe allergy to alcohol. Rest assured, I have never secretly drunk alcohol, it was discovered by my family doctor when he disinfected me with alcohol, and he once warned me and Nicole to stay away from alcohol products in the future if they didn't want to endanger their lives. ”
Kate on the other side, as well as the audience on the sidelines, opened their mouths wide in unison, although the law has regulations on drinking, but what the actual situation is, everyone understands, and a life that can't drink, what a miserable life it is!
"This ...... It's incredible. Kate was stunned for a moment before she spoke.
Ryan shrugged playfully, but didn't say anything more.
"Well, here's a new section of our show, and the guest income is revealed!" Kate pointed to the large screen above the stage, which listed a string of data.
She looked at Ryan, "You don't mind if we take stock of your family, do you?" ”
"It's okay." Ryan pouted, no one had communicated with him beforehand, and it was clear that the producers wanted to surprise him, or rather embarrass him.
This is normal, in order to prevent accidents and unpleasantness, generally this kind of show will communicate with the guests before it starts, but most of them will still keep a hand, of course, it will not be too much.
Kate looked at the big screen and began to read, "The script of "The Sixth Sense" is $50,000, the salary is $150,000, and it is divided into $2.9 million, for a total of $3.1 million, right, Ryan? ”
"That's right." Ryan could only nod, after all, this is the crew's public expenditure, and anyone who cares only needs to check it will know, but they obviously didn't count the red envelope.
"Home Alone" script plus $3 million in salary, divided into $5.7 million, for a total of $8.7 million. "Terminator 2" is paid $5 million, and the share is unknown. ”
"Wow~"
Exclamations began to erupt from the audience.
"What did you earn last year in terms of films...... Well, I'll calculate, $16.8 million! Oh, God! Sitting across from me was an eleven-year-old multi-millionaire! Kate made a very exaggerated expression.
"Not that much, actually." Ryan waved his hand, "Don't forget, there's still a tax to pay!" ”
The tax office is the most powerful agency in the United States, what CIA and FBI, in front of it weak, if the handle of tax evasion is caught by them, waiting for an extremely miserable life, you know, the tax office has an independent court, and there is no jury!
"Don't forget, you still have a royalty share for books, and the Alien Press won't give us a specific number, can you tell us, Ryan?"
"I'm sorry, I don't care much about these things, I'm going to ask my accountant about this." Ryan shirked very simply.
It's only the early 90s, and his income from movies alone is very impressive, and if you include other aspects, it will attract countless people's eyes, and he doesn't want to be targeted by kidnappers.
"Alright then!" Kate blinked, "Does that always reveal what new works you've been working on lately?" ”
"One action playbook, and another script to be perfected." Ryan made a gesture you understood.
"Then we're waiting for your good news!" Kate continued, "Here's the audience question time, and we'll choose two audience members who are live and one audience member who calls the hotline. ”
Under the stage, the audience had been waiting for a long time, and they raised their hands in unison.
"The second from the left in the third row!" Kate ordered one at random.
It was a girl about fifteen years old who looked playful, "Ryan, do you have any plans to find a girlfriend?" Can you tell us what the standard is? ”
"Not yet! As for the criteria, they have not been considered. Ryan's face was somewhat unnatural.
"The fifth-to-the-left gentleman in the seventh row!"
This time it was a middle-aged man who stood up, and he said, "Ryan, I have two children, both of whom are your book fans and movie fans, and they can't come to the scene because of their age, can you help them sign autographs?" ”
"No problem." Fans are all to be managed, and after living for two lifetimes, Ryan knows very well, "After the show, can you please stay for a while?" ”
“xiexie!”
"The next question is left for the audience outside the venue, ask the staff to pick up the phone!" Kate said.
Soon, a phone call came in, sounding like a man of no small age, "Ryan Jenkins, your work is all rubbish, and there is nothing to praise except that you can coax children." ”
Everyone at the scene, including Kate, was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting such an accident to happen.
"Please don't look at my work in the future, okay?" Ryan said unhurriedly. "I don't think the federal government is going to make it mandatory to read or watch any of Ryan Jenkins' work, does it?"
"Alright, xiexie Ryan, Xiexie live and viewers in front of the TV, that's the end of today's face-to-face show, we're zaijian next week!"
It was just a small episode of the show Zuihou, and Ryan coped with it with ease, and after fulfilling the father's request for an autograph, he left the studio.
After the "Face to Face" column, the tabloids began to interpret what Ryan said, which satisfied the public's gossip to some extent, and the heat of the topic about him gradually decreased, especially the reporters gathered at the door of the villa, most of them disappeared, of course, there will occasionally be undead paparazzi guarding outside, trying to dig up exclusive news.
As for Ryan, he went back to school, but the way his classmates looked at him had all changed, even if Jerry and Peter rarely interacted with him anymore, this situation was normal, just like what Natalie met at school, children who were too smart and precocious were hard to be welcomed among their peers.
Ryan doesn't care, he still repeats his life, besides, he doesn't have that much time to interact with these little kids, for him, these are just passers-by.
It's just that he wouldn't have thought that exposing his income in "Face to Face" would cause him quite a lot of trouble.
…… The reward support of several friends of xiexie, the pants have been pushed for two days, and the results are very ploppy, but we have enough psychological preparation, beauty and entertainment, the niche of the niche, entertain yourself...... Don't be too long-winded, zuihou convention, ask for recommendation votes~ ask for collection!
