Chapter 47: Jenkins Act

The color of the villa is mainly off-white, and it looks a bit cold, just like Nicole's temperament. Both bedrooms are on the second floor, but they are separated by a long distance, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

Ryan’s bedroom is three times larger than before. Connected to it is a large cloakroom. Although the newly-purchased piano, desks, bookshelves, and glass showcases filled with small golden figures fill a lot of space, there is still some open.

After finishing the manuscripts and musical instruments, Ryan placed the photo of him and Nicole in the most conspicuous place, and hung the platinum necklace on the frame. Perhaps for other orphans, this necklace will have It has an extraordinary meaning, but for him, this is just an extremely beautiful necklace. He has no interest in who his parents are in this world.

There is also a separate phone installed in the room, so that it will be more convenient for arguing with Natalie in the future, so that after every phone call, Nicole thinks they have quarreled again.

Thinking of Natalie, Ryan dialed the phone in New York. After hearing Mrs. Shelly’s shout, there was a rush of footsteps, followed by Natalie’s voice.

"Ryan? Why did I call you and no one answered?"

"Nicole and I just moved. Here are the new phone numbers and addresses. Please write them down."

"It turned out to be like this." Natalie asked for paper and pen, and then said, "I haven't congratulated you yet, Mr. Best Supporting Actor!"

Although it is a congratulatory sentence, Ryan can feel the sour taste even if the two are thousands of miles apart.

"Come on, Nat, haven't you read today's newspaper? Are you complaining to Joe? Passy. They almost named me by name and said I was not worthy of this little golden man, and said that I won by Public relations."

"Those tabloids always like to attack you. Isn't it normal for them to say that? Didn't you read the three major newspapers? They are all praising you for your achievements last year." Very rare, Natalie actually relieved him.

Ryan is just joking. There will be such a voice after every Oscar. People have natural sympathy for the losers. Besides, even God can't get everyone's praise, let alone him.

"Nat, if I write you a script, would you play it?" After a few more chats, Ryan asked tentatively. After all, Natalie has some pride and ambition of her own, and she always has to find out before acting. If the attitude is self-defeating, it will not be worth the loss.

"Hmm..." The other end of the phone seemed to be thinking, and after a while, Natalie said, "If it's "Home Alone", forget it."

"I promise, absolutely not."

It is rare that the two did not quarrel on the phone and hung up. Ryan thought carefully and recalled that Natalie is still too young now, and it has caused a lot of controversy in her previous life. Let's wait for a while. .

However, if this work is produced by oneself, it will definitely attract overwhelming criticism, so that's good, it can always block some bullets for the idols of the past life.

Ok! He admitted that in his previous life, he was a fan of the other side's brains. All the movies she had acted in had been seen more than once, even if she was just an inconspicuous supporting role, even if it was his least favorite literary and artistic film, even for a period of time. , Her figure was like a nightmare, circling in his mind until she stepped onto the Oscar stage and raised the little golden figure, when he saw her bloated body and the Frenchman around him, all All dreams are awake.

Of course, although he is a bit crazy and obsessed, he will never destroy his idol in a single shot like a fan of John Lennon, nor will he try to attract the attention of an idol like a fan of Judy Foster. To assassinate the President of the United States.

Although filled with a lot of furniture, the villa is only occupied by him and Nicole. It still looks a bit empty, but the benefits are equally obvious. Not to mention that Ryan will no longer cause protests from neighbors when practicing musical instruments, and the paparazzi alone will be less harassed. A lot.

The door of the villa is equipped with a surveillance camera system. If those guys dare to break into the house privately, just wait to eat in prison. What's more, here is Beverly Hills, rich and famous, and you can easily share most of the money. Firepower.

...

When facing consortia and capital, whether it is a reporter or a paparazzi, they will be cautious. They know very well what kind of power money has in this country, but when their opponent is the dean of a welfare institution, or As a black dean, the energy they can exert can be imagined.

If it is the government or the police, you may also need to consider the legality of the procedure, but these guys who don’t mind going to **** in person in order to chase the news, buy, disguise, instigate rebellion, etc., do everything they want, not to mention, most of the US Anyone with a discerning eye actually knows what an orphanage looks like.

Three days, only three days, all the past of the Norston Welfare Institute were dug up by them, published in newspapers, and presented to the people of the United States.

To put it simply, before 1986, this orphanage did not have many problems, but after the old dean retired and the new dean took over, it became a **** for orphans.

Child abuse, deduction of funds, trampling on adoption laws and children’s laws, arbitrary misappropriation of other people’s property, etc., almost in a day, all fell on the head of Black Pig Messi, and this heart and her A woman with the same black skin as her, instantly became famous all over the country.

As a related report in the newspaper came out, someone soon remembered the article in the California Independent. They immediately understood why Ryan Jenkins had not said thank you to the dean. After encountering such an incident, he would also like to express his gratitude to her. It would not be a super genius, but a super stupid.

At the same time, "California Independent" has also become the target of all media criticism, even if some of them are their comrades in the same trench.

On this azure blue planet, no matter which country it is, political correctness is essential. What's more, it also involves ‘freedom’ and ‘human rights’.

The reporter who wrote the article could only get out of the newspaper office in a desperate manner, while the editor-in-chief of the "California Independent" personally apologized to Ryan on the front page.

The police quickly took control of Ms. Messi and several black helpers. They were not just a matter of apologizing, they would face several felony charges.

The incident did not end here. Many large media began to discuss the status quo of the National Welfare Institute and the adoption law, calling on the whole society to give more care to orphans. The Supreme Court should review the current adoption law to fill the loopholes in it to prevent Some people will profit from it.

At this time, it is not just paper media. Even the three major television networks have joined in. This topic has become the focus of the nation.

Although Ryan single-handedly detonated the incident, the subsequent development was completely beyond his expectation. He did not expect that such a seemingly simple thing would have caused a great discussion in the United States, and he has also gained a lot from it. the benefits of.

The most direct thing is fame. If his influence in the past was only in the film and literary circles, but now, he has become a celebrity in the United States. In a short time, the limelight has overshadowed the US military that just won the Gulf War.

Under the great discussion and pressure in the United States, the revised "Adoption Law" was soon released. In order to distinguish the old version, the media and the public simply called it the "Jenkins Act"!

The unscrupulous boy, in this way, carved his unique mark in the history of the United States.

After the incident subsided a bit, Ryan asked Ms. Kinsley to donate one million US dollars to the American Orphans Charity Foundation in his own name. The money was not too much, but she could earn a good reputation for herself. Why not For it.

Sitting in front of the piano in the living room, Ryan’s slender fingers were placed on the black and white keys of the piano, and "Moonlight Sonata" seemed unusually cheerful, just like his mood at the moment.

He admitted that he was never a broad-minded person, and he would be grateful for people who are kind to him, such as Nicole, but for those who offend him, he would also take revenge by unscrupulous means, even if he waited for several years.

In this country that is extremely pursuing personal freedom, there is no famous saying that has been cut in half—repaying grievances by virtue, how can you repay virtue!

The media is discussing the topic of welfare homes and orphans. UU read and he is the focus of this incident. He can only hide at home at this time. Otherwise, as long as he shows up anywhere in Los Angeles, it won’t take much. Minutes will become the target of chase and interception.

Speaking of it, this semester is more than the last semester. How can I say last semester there is more than a month spent in school, and the time in school this semester can be counted with two slaps, if it is not the school Judging from the sponsorship he donated, I am afraid that he has received a warning for expulsion long ago.

Last year was a busy year, and it was also a huge harvest. Not to mention himself, but Nicole Kidman, because of his relationship, he broke into Hollywood no longer with a vase but with the image of acting school. Also settled down smoothly.

Of course, no one would ignore her glamorous appearance. With the nomination for Best Supporting Actress and the sale of "Night Sleep in Seattle", many advertisers waved checks to come to her door, although she was far from the previous life when she shot a four-minute commercial. The exaggeration of earning millions of dollars has completely bulged her pockets. Moreover, her remuneration has gradually reached the level of first-line Hollywood actresses.

"Ryan, are you ready? We should set off." Nicole wore a bright red evening gown and walked into the living room.

"Nicole, I was ready an hour ago." Looking at Nicole who was dressed up, Ryan sighed. It takes time and effort for a woman to dress up. This time it's not bad. He waited for her on the day of Oscar. Four full hours.

They are going to a charity dinner. The organizer is Gerald, the director of Warner's film business. Most of the people invited are people in the entertainment and media circles. As the hottest two of them last year, they were naturally invited by him.
