Chapter 31: because of you

There are not many shots about him in "Home Alone", otherwise Ryan will definitely be crazy. In his opinion, Disney and Touchstone are going crazy about money. A movie that starts in August is scheduled for Thanksgiving. It was released on Christmas schedule, and it was really a loss that they could think of.

However, he has also gradually become familiar with the operation of Hollywood, knowing that although this situation is not particularly frequent, it is also not uncommon. Although many people in the crew are complaining, in the face of three times the overtime pay, they are only complaining. That's it.

Ryan can fully imagine that after this movie is released, Carter Eisner will definitely change his current position in the touchstone, and no one will bring his uncle Michael Eisner out to talk about things. Since "Sixth Sense" can win nearly $300 million in the North American box office, this previous 90-year box office champion will certainly not meet Waterloo.

There is no doubt that Disney is still the best company to produce movies of all ages. Maybe the next few movies should continue to work with them?

"Ryan, here it is." Jinsli interrupted his random thoughts. The boy responded, pushed the door and got out of the car, and walked into the restaurant with the manager lady.

The restaurant is when Nicole is not at home, Ryan’s regular dining restaurant is Mr. Zhou’s restaurant. The waiter here has been familiar with him for a long time. After a simple greeting, they led the two to the seat Ryan was accustomed to. Place.

"Old rules, Ryan?"

The waiter who came over was an old acquaintance, the Chinese he met when he first came. The conversation with the boy was even in standard Chinese.

"A full set of Lu dishes, egg fried rice is a bit older, and, Li Ping, when will you have Beijing roast duck and Texas grilled chicken?" Ryan reiterated the old saying.

"Ryan, your requirements are too high. I have never seen authentic Peking duck or Texas grilled chicken." Li Ping knew the temper of the man in front of him, knowing that he was just joking.

In all fairness, this restaurant is one of the few places where you can make authentic Chinese food. Even if there is a difference in the taste of the hometown food of the previous generation, it is already very rare.

Of course, the dishes they usually cook are all Westernized. After all, there are still a few Westerners who can eat real Chinese food, and Ryan comes more often, so they naturally know his taste.

Similarly, the boy also inquired about the old bottom of Mr. Zhou's restaurant. Somewhat unexpectedly, the owner of this restaurant is the Chinese catering giant Zhou Yinghua in the previous life. He has learned about this person Ryan's past life and knows that his father is a generation of Peking Opera master Qilintong. .

After the meal, Ryan packed another crab dumpling as a midnight snack, and returned home. He just entered the apartment building and was unavoidably rioted by the paparazzi. Fortunately, as time went on, he gradually got used to it. This kind of life, anyway, is just a bunch of buzzing flies.

"Ryan, remember to lock the door at night, unless it's me and Nicole, don't open the door for him." Jinsli solemnly instructed before leaving.

The law and order in the United States is not as good as imagined. In addition to the rich gathering areas, there are endless crimes in slums and black areas. Although the law and order in Westwood is good, there are also cases. A boy alone at home is somewhat worrying.

Originally, Jinsli wanted to take him to her house, but Ryan didn't like to live with people other than Nicole. Besides, the manager lady had to date and had her own life.

In fact, what Ryan is most worried about is not criminals. After all, the most evil people are only a few. He is the most disgusting paparazzi. These guys who do everything for the news have once dressed up as various characters and want to lure him. Open the door, but how could they have thought that the boy had seen many inter-provincial water meter checking incidents in his previous life, and the paparazzi were completely infamous compared with those professional-level masters.

Sure enough, one hour after Pai Jinsli left, the routine harassment incident was staged again every night. As the doorbell rang, Ryan, who was struggling to write, put down the pen in his hand and came to the door of the room.

"Who? What's the matter?" Ryan asked through the door.

"Is it Mr. Ryan Jenkins? This is Beatty Noli from FedEx, and I have a copy of your express." A woman's voice was heard outside the door.

"Express? Where did it come from?"

"Seattle!" The people outside seemed to be prepared.

The boy rolled his eyes. Obviously, the people outside thought that Nicole was still in Seattle and would write to himself, but they didn’t know that they never wrote letters, just talked on the phone, if she said it was from For express mail in New York, I'm not sure I will open the door.

"Madam, there is a mailbox at the door, just put the express mail in it, and, please find out a little bit next time, please, Miss Nicole Kidman has left Seattle long ago." Ryan did not hold back in the end. Sneered.

These guys have been for so many days, and they still don’t give up. Do they really think they are a kid who is easy to cheat? Or do you think that you are just like them, with water in your head?

Don’t say anything else, they really want to come in like this. As long as they have enough evidence, they can sue them for breaking into a private house. Perhaps in their hearts, a ten-year-old child, no matter how smart, would not understand the law.

It seems that moving is not without benefits. In Beverly Hills where the rich and famous are everywhere, these guys will somewhat converge. Ryan shook his head, checked the time, walked to the sofa, and dialed Nicole's phone.

"Nicole, I miss you." Listening to the familiar voice, Ryan felt deep thoughts.

"I miss you too, Ryan."

"When are you going back to Los Angeles?" the boy asked.

"It's coming next month."

"May I visit your class? "Home Alone" will be closed soon."

"Ryan, you should be back to school. The principal called me again, dear, don't worry me, okay?"

"That... okay." Despite being very reluctant, Ryan agreed. He didn't want the Children's Association to trouble Nicole.

"A paparazzi harassing you today? I just talked to Pat on the phone." Nicole's tone was obviously concerned and a little worried.

"It's nothing, they knock on our door every day."

"My dear, I know you are smart and you have ways to deal with them, but don't forget your age, and you must protect yourself."

"Nicole, when will the villa be renovated?"

"Want to move? Soon, I promise, our new home will be beautiful and unique."

After talking on the phone, Ryan suddenly felt a little confused. He knew that Nicole had his own life and career, and he couldn't be around him all the time, but the feeling of not seeing each other for a long time really made him very uncomfortable. When she went back to Australia to film "Cross the Horizon", the two had not been separated for so long.

Hey, I am really about to become a child, still a child who lacks maternal love! Ryan gave a wry smile, and then remembered that after two lives, maternal love has always been strange to him.

What is between me and Nicole? He remembered the question he had deliberately ignored, attachment? Very thick! Sister and brother? there must be. The love of mother and child? Very few but not without. what about others? He didn't dare to think about it, but he knew that he always had extravagant hopes...

Because of me, you have a completely different life! Because of you, I have found the light that once left me! Because of you, I have strengthened my goal even more! Because of you, I have a sense of security that I have never had before!

Nicole, do you know? It's all because of you!

Faint sentimentality and strong longing occupied his heart like this. If Nicole Kidman was in front of his eyes, he really wanted to express this emotion, but it was a pity that she could not feel it, thousands of miles away.

Unknowingly, the boy naturally sat in front of the piano in the corner of the living room. Perhaps music is the best way to express feelings.

Slender fingers with thin calluses landed on the black and white keys, and the tactful tunes made people strangled and sentimental, as if they had shocking power. Although Ryan's singing has not completely shaken off its immaturity, it has a touch to the soul. magnetic.

Only after the chorus was over, the boy stopped. There is no doubt that the song is touching, but it is too sad, and the meaning expressed in the lyrics does not apply between him and Nicole. Re-arrangement And to modify the lyrics is a must.

As for plagiarism? There is no pressure for him. If it is not for age, his plagiarized and original songs may have been flying all over the sky.

Regarding this, Ryan is extremely confident.

"Home Alone" is finally closed, and the actors have unloaded their heavy burdens. During this period of time, Carter Eisner urged them to be a little crazy. If it were not for three times the salary to hang in the front, I am afraid that someone in the crew would have asked for it. Rebelled, like Ryan.

"Carter, just let me go!" Ryan waved his arms, seeming a little excited. "I know that cooperating with the production party is an obligation to promote, but you always have to let me rest for a while? Let's talk about it. I really don’t have time to show on TV. I have lost a lot of my homework. If I don’t go back to school, I will definitely repeat the grade. Maybe I will be expelled from St. John’s Primary School. Do you want to watch the disaster happen?"

"No, Ryan, I will definitely close my eyes when the time comes." Even if he knew that the other party was a bit exaggerated, Carter Eisner couldn't do much. After all, children's law is not a display. "Well, Ryan. However, You may need to dub some clips later in the film."

"No problem, you can contact Pat then." Ryan rubbed his forehead, "If there is nothing else, then I will leave."

"Ryan, don't you think we can continue to cooperate?"

"Carter, I understand what you mean. I'll wait until the movie is released, and then I will say it? I will also participate in the filming of "Terminator 2". I really don't have time to think about other issues." After the boy declined, he stayed. After a tail, "Disney is the best film production company for all ages. As long as I have creativity in this area, I will give priority to you."
