Chapter 618: My Season
As the sun was about to sink into the horizon, four horses ran from the farm all the way back to the manor with the roar of the motor of the off-road pickup......
Pulling the reins, Ryan rolled over and dismounted, handing the horses over to the staff who were tending the stables, just like Nicole.
"Tommy, you're back so early." What did he say to Tom who came over? The three Hanks beckoned.
"Hey, Leon!" Taylor took off his cowboy hat and shouted to Leonardo, who had changed into casual clothes, "How much prey did you hit?" ā
"Dear ......" Leonardo looked at the pickup truck that came in and raised three fingers, "a deer, two hares." ā
"So, you're going to lose." He said with a smile.
"It doesn't matter if you lose." Taylor rolled his eyes and walked towards the stopped pickup truck, "I didn't promise you what to do if you lose." ā
"Uh......" Leonardo was stunned, and now it seemed that this was the case, he couldn't help but pat his forehead and followed, "Taylor, you've grown up, you can't be a little scoundrel anymore." ā
"The problem is that I can't lose!" Taylor glanced back at him, grabbed Nicole's arm as she passed by, stretched out a small white hand, and flipped back and forth, "I didn't hit the deer, but Gru they caught ten hares." ā
The farm staff had already opened the cargo compartment of the pickup truck and dragged out the harvest of Ryan and his group, three deer and more than a dozen hares.
"See, Leon." Taylor took Nicole's arm and stood a dozen feet away from the pickup, "You're losing. ā
"You're comparing numbers." Drew? Barrymore deliberately reminded.
"Okay." Leonardo helplessly spread his hands and looked at Ryan, "You didn't help?" ā
"Of course not." Ryan was telling the staff to dispose of the prey as much as possible, and at the same time gathered everyone to hold a bonfire party in the evening, after hearing Leonardo's words. He turned around and said, "With my upright and kind person as a guarantee, you might as well throw in the towel, Leon." ā
Several people laughed, and the crisp sound drifted far away with the wind.
Darkness engulfed the light, and the clear night sky was dotted with stars, and below the stars, dozens of bonfires burned in the square in front of the manor, reflecting half of the sky.
Several large grills and makeshift stoves were set up at the edge of the campfires. Chefs hired from Brisbane used the game they harvested in the afternoon to prepare fragrant food, such as roast meat, potato stew, venison, and hare soup, which were delivered to everyone.
Small barbecues are also set up around each campfire, so those who prefer to do it themselves can also show off their cooking skills.
"Australia is vast and sparsely populated, and there are no large carnivores."
Taking the kebab from Nicole, Ryan took a bite, and the taste was as enticing as when he was a child. After everyone raised their glasses and drank together, they continued with the topic just now, "The proliferation of wild animals with strong fertility is the most troublesome problem for many farms. ā
"Australia's hare plague is world-famous." Tom? Hanks took the dry-fried venison that Taylor had delivered. said thank you, "I didn't expect that in the past few years, the size of the wild deer herd has also expanded rapidly. ā
"Isn't there a good solution?" Drew asked, putting down the beer can.
"Yes......" swirls around the campfire. Taylor, who was acting as a makeshift waiter, preemptively said, "We can poison them all and kill ......"
Just when everyone subconsciously covered their foreheads. "But the Queensland government doesn't allow it, hunting is allowed, but it's not allowed to use any measures that disrupt the ecological balance." ā
"We've been trying to control their numbers." Ryan looked at Taylor, the girl stuck out her tongue mischievously, jumped over and sat next to Nicole, he shook his head and said, "But the area of the farm is too big, and there are woods and wastelands protected by the state government, and the effect is not too obvious." ā
"It's better than that." Leonardo suddenly said something very unreliable, "Let the whole farm be barren and turn it into a real hunting ground." ā
"Leon......" Nicole wiped her hands and raised an eyebrow at him, "This is a farm for vacation and leisure!" ā
"It's just a building yƬ." Leonardo shrugged with a smile.
A few people were talking and laughing, and after getting away from the vanity fair of Hollywood, they all relaxed a lot, even if they had just met Giselle? Leonardo, who broke up with Bonchen, is also with Drew? Barrymore's sparling left depression behind.
"I haven't congratulated you yet, Tommy."
Touched Tom? Hanks' beer can, Ryan asked, "My Grand Greek Wedding should end its overseas screening, right?" ā
"It's basically downgraded." Tom? Hanks took a big sip of his beer, "The overseas market is not as good as the North American market, which has a box office of about $1200 million. ā
"That adds up to $3600,000."
Ryan didn't even think about this movie, after all, he was just a person with a good brain, not a computer with a huge amount of storage, "The production cost of the film was only 5ooo dollars." ā
"Don't forget, there's $5ooo more to do." Tom? Hanks said as he pinched his chin.
In today's movies, the cost of publicity is getting higher and higher, and it is almost impossible for films to expect to make huge profits at the box office as they did more than ten years ago.
"Ryan, are you interested in working together again?" Tom? Hanks suddenly brought up something else, "My ifc Pictures bought the film rights to The Da Vinci Code. ā
"Tommy......" Ryan shook his head without even thinking about it, "this subject is not for me." ā
"Look at me, I've drunk too much." Tom? Hanks then remembered and couldn't help but pat his forehead, "I'm sorry. ā
"It's okay." Ryan just smiled, "We had a great time working together last time, and if you have the chance, we'll wait for the next time." ā
In the previous collaboration of "Band of Brothers", Ryan has now recovered his investment of 30 million US dollars, and the income from the re-release rights and DVD tapes will slowly generate enough profits.
Although the response is good, the investment in this miniseries is too large, except for the copyright, there is no other peripheral profit point, and it has been launched for more than two years, and the total investment of more than 200 million US dollars has just been earned.
Nicole had been whispering to Taylor, and when Ryan turned his head, they were covering their mouths and snickering.
"What a joy there is." Ryan leaned in, "Can you share it?" ā
"It's a topic of conversation among women!" Nicole shook her head and nudged him gently, "You're not fit to know. ā
"That's it, we won't tell you." Taylor wrinkled his nose at this side.
"Honey, I heard that Hollywood Records is going to record for you?" Drew beckoned to Taylor and asked, "When are you going to record?" ā
"It's coming." When it came to business, Taylor looked calm, "There's no hurry." ā
"Can we hear your new song first?" Tom? Hanks made an inviting gesture, "Little one? ā
"That'...... All right. ā
Taylor nodded his chin and stood up, "I'll go get the guitar." ā
About ten minutes later, the girl walked briskly over with a rosewood guitar, which Ryan had made for her in the first place, and the 'tay1or' brand complemented her.
"Need Ryan to play or sing a chorus for you?"
The person sitting here, now that Nicole would say this kind of thing, Taylor shook his head and said very seriously, "Music not only requires talent, but also a lot of practice, Ryan has been throwing it away for so long, so forget it." ā
Taylor couldn't have said the simplest truth, Ryan smiled and clapped his palms, and several people around him applauded.
"It's a new song I've written since I came to Australia." Hanging the acoustic guitar, Taylor stood by the campfire, although he was not yet fifteen years old, he had his own temperament and style, "My season, thank you!" ā
Instead of using a pick, she flicked the strings with her fingers, and the popular country-style tune suddenly sounded.
"Light blue sky, light blue lake, deep blue sea.
And floating white clouds,
The most natural and also the most beautiful color.
You'll never be able to see the beauty of the season,
Standing here, I couldn't move an inch, and I was fascinated by the scenery in front of me.
There was no one around, and I felt as if I had come to the end of the world,
If I could fly, I would like to spread my wings and wander with the angels on the waves!
Only the clouds in the sky remained, all of them had witnessed the surging waves and silvery sand here......"
The girl's singing voice is ethereal and tactful, without any foam, as colorful as autumn in Australia, and as delicate and moving as the scenery of the manor, as if the season is rippling in her singing.
The song was crisp and came far, far away, and when the last syllable fell, not only the people on Ryan's side clapped their palms, but the other people around the fire were also clapping vigorously, and the voices of applause came.
"Thank you!" Taylor smiled and turned around and beckoned, shoved the guitar to Ryan, and sat back down next to Nicole, "You'll keep it for now." ā
"It's very beautiful!" Nicole kissed her forehead, "Allison, you're our pride. ā
The girl pulled the long golden scroll and smiled even brighter.
Putting away Taylor's guitar, Ryan smiled just as brightly, and as he grew older, Taylor showed a musical talent that was completely different from his previous life, and more importantly, she was able to capture every inspiration that floated around her, and create beautiful songs that he had never heard in his previous life, which is represented by "My Season" written after coming to Australia.
She will have her own style, she will have her own music, and she will have her own brilliance.
As long as the time comes, Taylor will inevitably shine brightly. (To be continued......)
