Chapter 3： script

Now that I have come to the famous metropolis of London, it is inevitable to take a tour. Big Ben, the Thames, the Victoria Tower, and the Palace of Westminster have all left the footprints of Ryan and Nicole.

However, what the boy wanted most was another place. Under his hardship, Nicole finally took him to King's Cross Railway Station.

This is the most famous train station in the past life, and it is the starting point of the magical journey of the magical little wizard.

Yes, the increasingly unscrupulous boy set his next goal on Harry Potter. Originally, this series was not in his plan. This kind of novel full of British style, if not in the UK It is difficult to write about the living experience, and he doesn't want to make trouble by himself.

Who would have thought that the plan would never keep up with the rapid changes. Not only did he meet Nicole Kidman, who had a very different fate, but he also followed her to London, where he will live here for the next two years, so he won’t take this past life. The industrial chain that has created a value of tens of billions of dollars is included in the bag, and I am too sorry for the encounter between him and Nicole on the Avenue of Stars.

As for whether the future Aunt Rowling will commit suicide because of hunger and cold, it is not within his consideration. After all, she is not Nicole Kidman, has no kindness to him, and has no relationship with him.

Besides, what does the life and death of the British guy have to do with him!

In the following year or so, Nicole devoted himself to the stage play. Ryan went to watch the scene several times and found that Nicole Kidman’s acting skills were far better than when she entered Hollywood in her previous life.

As for himself, his life is boring and boring. Class time is dedicated to the pen, exercise after school, and learn all kinds of knowledge that will help him in the future.

In order to get rid of the bad habits formed in the orphanage between the two generations before and after, he also asked Nicole to invite a strict British etiquette teacher. He trained in his free time for a whole year, and the etiquette has formed a certain degree. habit.

As long as he wants, he is a standard little gentleman.

He has written the first three Harry Potter books and revised them. After entering 1988, "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" was officially published and listed, just like the previous life, it did not cause a sensation.

In addition, he also wrote a number of short and medium stories, with originals and plagiarism. The publisher simply put them together with the previously published short and medium stories and prepared to publish a "Ryan Story Collection".

Entering the early winter season, London started continuous rainy weather. Ryan did not see the sun for half a month. Because he beat a few black boys who were bothering him at school, Nicole was invited by the principal in succession. , He was sadly suspended.

Sitting in the room, turning the colored pencils, suddenly Nicole was arguing with a man from downstairs. Ryan simply put down the sketch at hand and quietly walked out of the room.

"Why terminate the contract? Also, why should I withdraw the invitation of the Royal Shakespeare Company, which is a theater company supported by the royal family." The man had a very bad attitude and was questioning Nicole.

Ryan, the man speaking, knows Nicole’s agent...no, it should be the former agent. He heard Nicole say that the contract between the two parties has expired, and she is not planning to renew him.

"I have been acting on stage for more than a year, and I don't want to continue, I want to go back to the big screen." Nicole calmly explained.

"Back to the big screen?" A mocking smile appeared on the corner of the man's mouth.

"That's it, Mr. Henry, don't forget, our contract has expired." With Nicole's cold and arrogant character, of course he would not give him a good face, so he just opened his mouth to see him off.

"Ha..." The man laughed sarcastically, "I know, you have always wanted to go to Hollywood, but you are too naive. I really think there are opportunities everywhere, ah... Maybe you can trade for your beauty..."

"Whoo~"

A colored pencil flew down the stairs.

"Oh~"

The man screamed while holding his forehead.

Ryan sullenly, ran down the stairs, and said sharply, "Next time I will be rude to the lady, it will not be a pencil, but a shot."

"Hey! You kid!" The man rubbed his forehead and stood up, as if he wanted to do it.

Nicole hurriedly stood in front of Ryan, and she would not let anyone hurt her most important person, "Henry, please leave, otherwise I will call the police."

As the saying goes, it’s good to get together, but the character of this man is really not very good. Ryan remembers very clearly that there were a few times if Nicole was not clever enough, he was sold by him if he was not sure.

"Honey, you are too reckless." When only them were left in the living room, Nicole took the boy into her arms.

"Nicole, do you want to go to Hollywood now?"

"That's my dream." Nicole whispered, rubbing the boy's head, "I told you a kid what to do. By the way, Ryan, I'm going back to Australia in the near future. London is not allowed to cause trouble."

"Back to Australia?" The boy was puzzled.

"A film crew invited me, um... "Cross the Horizon"!"

Hollywood! Back in the room, Ryan rewritten the line on the drawing.

After experiencing the explosion of information in his previous life, he knew very well that the glamorous circle was not as beautiful as it seemed on the surface, and it was a circle where male power prevailed. Nicole was helpless and wanted to gain weight. The role of the first class is very difficult, do you want her to plunge into Tom Cruise's arms again? He would never allow this to happen.

Ok! For our common dream, I should formally prepare!

Nicole returned to Australia. Ryan simply asked the nanny to pretend to be Nicole and called for a long vacation from school. The next thing to do is very important for their future.

For a long time, Ryan has written all novels. Now he is about to prepare the script. In his previous life, because of his profession, he has seen a lot of movie scripts, and he knows how to write some scripts.

It’s just that he hates little when he uses books. Although he is amazingly talented, he is not arrogant enough to know everything. He started to run frequently to bookstores and libraries, and got back a lot of books about scripts and movies.

The most important thing is to find a suitable movie, a movie in which he and Nicole can star at the same time, to commemorate this special friendship between the two!

Movies are deeply influenced by the social environment. Some classic movies from previous lives have been brought to the present. The most likely one is encountering Waterloo. Among all movie types, the least restricted by the times are undoubtedly horror thrillers and sci-fi movies that are out of reality. Up.

Science fiction movies are still free, he doesn't care, but Nicole is pretty a bit coquettish, and entering Hollywood with this type of movie will definitely become a vase.

In fact, Ryan chose a thriller "The Sixth Sense", which was a classic movie released in 99 years in the previous life. It had a double harvest at the box office and word of mouth. It also won several Oscar nominations. In particular, the film blurred the background of the times. , Reflects one of the mainstream values ​​since the 1980s—family, affection and communication.

Moreover, the structure of this movie is peculiar. It played a big trick at the beginning and at the end. This kind of creativity has been used up after entering the new century, but it is a completely new idea in this era.

Also, the relationship between the little boy and the single mother in it is like the relationship between him and Nicole, and it is easier for the two to take over.

It is not an easy task for a novice to transform the picture in his mind into the words on the script. He counts and changes the draft, and even the Harry Potter thing is thrown aside. Fortunately, he is The talent of I is indeed excellent, at least in writing scripts, not worse than the fat guy who sells video tapes.

"The first act of the first scene, time/night. Environment/basement with dim lighting.

Anna walked down the stairs, came to the wine rack, and picked a bottle of red wine..."

The boy looked at the script for three months and finally came up with the first draft. He believed that there were no problems with the description of the scenes and characters, but there were many flaws in the division of the shots.

For the time being, he sighed. In the past three months, Nicole has come back several times, but he didn’t realize that what he wrote was a script. Ryan didn’t plan to tell her, so let’s talk about everything when we return to Los Angeles. .

Although there is a script, the problem is still serious. He is not naive enough to think that if the script is mailed to the film company, the other party will rush over and hug his thigh. That is just a fantasy.

What is the basis of a movie? Many people will choose the script, but except for a few top-level gold screenwriters, the status of ordinary screenwriters in this industry is so low that it is far beyond imagination.

Just in 1988, Hollywood broke out a screenwriter strike, after which the salary has been improved, but Ryan knows that UU reading will not take a few years, and they will be beaten to dust again.

As we all know, it is extremely difficult for newcomers to make their debut in Hollywood, especially for newcomers. If it doesn’t matter, there is no middleman, and you want the film company to invest in your script...

Obviously, Ryan belongs to this kind of person. However, he also has a strategy to deal with it, that is, the script sea tactics. With the experience of writing once, the speed of writing will be much faster when he writes again. If a script is cast, there will be no response. , Then vote for the second, third, or even eighty ten.

Moreover, he still has a heavyweight stepping stone in his hand—"Jurassic Park"!

You know, this book has been on the top of the bestseller list in the United States since 1987, and has been there for more than 30 weeks. If he, a young author, stands at the front desk, the response can be imagined.

Since he chose to use the script as a pathfinder, he naturally did not want to be an ordinary screenwriter. Any career in Hollywood, when you stand at the top, will become a powerful figure in this circle.

Ryan was not satisfied with this. While constantly revising the "Sixth Sense" script, he also wrote out the outlines and settings of some classic movies in his memory. This is to prevent forgetting, even though those pictures have been carved in It's the same in his mind, but it's always right to be prepared.

In the early summer of 1989, when Ryan wanted to copy more than ten copies of the script and mail it to the major Hollywood film companies, Nicole Kidman, who had been busy in Australia with "Skyline Crossing", returned to London. At the same time, She also brought her new agent.

A woman who surprised Ryan!
