Chapter 62： Outing

"The mission of art is to use perceptual images to show the truth. It should give people spiritual vitality and encouragement, rather than showing a cold fist to life!" Natalie stared at her face like a proud cockfight. Ryan with disdain. "Am I wrong?"

"But Leo Tolstoy said that the best art is art that everyone can understand!" Ryan also lifted his chin. "What is "Last Tango in Paris"? It's both dull and boring. How many people like it? Except for Marlon Brando’s acting skills, it’s nothing at all? As for Bellutocchi, does he understand what the audience wants to see?"

"The Silent Lamb is not much better. A large number of cruel, horrible and **** shots dilute the theme it wants to express, and its artistic performance is at least one grade worse than the "Last Tango in Paris"." Natalie then retorted.

"You can't deny that "The Silent Lambs" is more popular, Nat, or that sentence, the film is not made by the director for himself. He must consider the market's acceptance."

This was on the wagon heading to Yosemite National Park. Ryan and Natalie sat in the back row of eleven wagons and had a heated debate.

Natalie came to Los Angeles yesterday. Mr. Avner came here to attend a medical conference and simply took his daughter. It was not until after she got off the plane that Natalie notified Ryan. Fortunately, Ryan and Ni But although he decided to go out on a field trip with the Swift family to avoid the increasingly crazy reporters, he hadn't set off yet and happened to take her with her.

The two hadn’t seen each other for a long time, and there was a lot to say, but the topic turned to the movie, and naturally they discussed the hottest "Silent Lamb" this year.

"But art is rigorous!" Natalie turned her body halfway, and faced Ryan.

"Really? In the "Last Tango in Paris", so many **** scenes are really necessary?"

"Ryan! Nat!"

Nicole couldn't bear it, turned her head, and stopped drinking and wanted to continue the debate. "I want to ask, who accompanied you to watch "The Last Tango in Paris" and "The Silent Lamb"? It's your age. Should I see it? Ryan, it looks like I should ban your feet when I go back, and Nat, I think I should talk to Mrs. Shelly on the phone."

The cockfighting boys and girls finally frustrated, glared at each other, and looked at the scenery outside the windows of each other.

"Aren't they good friends? Why have they argued since yesterday?"

Putting the sleeping Taylor in a different position, Mrs. Andrea asked in a low voice curiously.

"Don't mention it." Nicole waved his hand. "The two of them have known each other for almost two years. Whether they call or communicate, they are like this. They are like natural opponents, but they have very good feelings."

Yosemite National Park is located in the eastern part of California. It is as famous as Yellowstone National Park and is one of the most beautiful natural national parks in the western region.

Two cars came with them. In addition to the eleven station wagon, George also drove a Chevrolet SUV in the back.

"Wow, so...beautiful~"

As soon as I got out of the car, little Taylor saw a continuous forest. The climate here is pleasant, much cooler than the hot Los Angeles.

The scenery here is very beautiful. After entering the valley, a group of people went straight to the Butterfly Forest in Nanshan, where there is a large area of ​​Old World Lord Forest. These red cedar trees are tall and thick, and many of them cannot be enclosed in a circle. .

Although the greening of cities in the United States is very good, for people who live in the city all year round, it is a good place to relax and relax. The only downside is that there are a lot of tourists. After all, it is well-known all over the world. Tourist attraction.

After visiting the rocky area again, everyone simply went to the stream and canyon with less traffic, and found a flat place for a short rest.

"Ryan, catch the butterfly... take me there, okay?" Little Taylor didn't let anyone relax for a moment.

"My dear, there are wolves and lions here. You can't run around." Ryan simply threatened, but the little girl less than two years old knew how terrible these two animals were, and clapped her hands and said, "Lions? In the zoo? Is that kind? Great, Ryan, and Nat, catch the lion... take me there."

Ryan has the urge to vomit blood. Fortunately, Mr. Scott looked at the time and said, "It's getting late. Let's go to the log cabin area. If it's too late, we won't find a place to live."

"There are no real wild lions in the Americas!" Natalie gave him a look that you are really illiterate.

"Is the puma not a lion?" Ryan reflexively retorted, and also gave Natalie an uneducated look in your eyes.

"Too lazy to care about you." Natalie gave him the back of his head directly.

The wooden house area is in this valley. Although it is open to tourists, the management is extremely strict. If there is littering and tree destruction, the high fines can directly turn tourists into beggars. , But it is these strict regulations that are close to harsh that make this national park prosperous.

The group rented three big wooden houses, the Swift family, Nicole and Natalie, and the boy and George lived in one each.

Taylor slept all the way when he came, and now it was a time of vigorous energy, clamoring for Ryan and Natalie to accompany her to catch the lion, making the group cry helpless.

"Taylor, catching lions is not fun at all. If you don't believe me, you can ask George. He has been in Africa and has seen many lions." He moved a few chairs casually, and a few people sat on the grass in front of the wooden house. The unscrupulous Ryan really couldn't pester the little girl, so he had to push his bodyguard out.

"Really? George? Africa...Where is it, is it far away? Is it fun?" Taylor asked with blinking eyes.

"It's not fun." George smiled, just as the story started, "The grasslands and forests there are full of dangers, not only lions, but also dangerous animals like cheetahs."

"The king of beasts... lions?" Tyler blinked, then pointed to Ryan and said, "Ryan said... the last time I went to the zoo."

"On the African grasslands, the most dangerous animal is not the lion." Seeing the eyes of the people around him, George simply shrugged and said, "One time when I was out on a mission, I was surrounded by a group of jackals. On the African grasslands, the most terrifying things are not lions and cheetahs, but jackals with red eyes."

He pointed to the scar on the brow bone and said, "This is what was left from that time. I had only three bullets left in my gun at the time. After shooting three jackals, I could only fight them in close hands. Okay. When I was lucky enough, it was them who died. Although I suffered a lot of injuries, I was finally able to hold on until the support came."

After finishing speaking, he patted Taylor's little hand, "So, Taylor, catching lions is not so fun."

When everyone heard him say this, they were a little emotional. There are not many stable countries in Africa.

Nicole suddenly became a little worried. In her eyes, soldiers, especially those who have seen blood, are dangerous animals. Especially in preparation for "Yihai Xiongfeng", she consulted a lot of information about the army and knew that many Marines were there. After retiring from the army, either become a professional mercenary or go on a crooked road because of his livelihood. Is it really appropriate for Ryan to be with him?

That is the person who is most important to herself, if the other party treats him...Nicole suddenly didn't dare to think about it anymore, she felt that she should find another bodyguard for Ryan.

"Wait." Ryan suddenly felt that he had overlooked an extremely important thing, which seemed to be related to what George said, but couldn't remember, "George, what did you just say? Lion? And jackals?"

"Yes." George nodded. "The most dangerous thing in Africa is not the lion, but the hungry red-eyed jackal. Is there a problem?"

"I X!" Ryan exploded with a Chinese swear word, and he finally remembered what he had forgotten, Lion! Jackal! Africa! Hamlet! Prince's Revenge!

Whether it was adapting the novel at the beginning or writing the script later, he even forgot the most glorious work of 2D animation, and he did not forbid him to shoot his forehead.

"I'm really a pig head." Ryan scolded himself in his heart.

"Ryan, you are swearing." Natalie spoke unhurriedly.

"Expletive?" Ryan felt inexplicable.

"Don't deny it." Natalie has a clear expression. "I have been learning Chinese since last year. I often go to Chinatown to find people to practice. I have met many Chinese students who used the words you just said to curse. "

"You...why do you want to learn Chinese?" Ryan was surprised. He knew that Natalie in her previous life was proficient in several languages, but UU reading had never heard of her being able to speak Chinese.

"Since you speak Chinese so fluently, I will naturally surpass you." She said it for granted.

"Okay, okay." Ryan looked at Nicole, and saw that she didn't say anything, and then said, "I apologize, it's okay."

Anyway, an apology will not cost money, and there will be no less meat! He started duplicity again.

"Ryan, then you hit yourself... why did you just now?" Taylor asked curiously.

"Ah..." Ryan opened his mouth and said to his heart that you are a little kid, where is so much curiosity, but when everyone sees it, he scratched his head and said, "After listening to George's experience, I suddenly have Inspiration, maybe you can write a story about Africa."

"African story?"

Everyone knows the boy after all, knowing that he must have some good idea.

"Yes, move Shakespeare's "Prince's Revenge" to the African savannah." He waved his hand to stop Natalie who wanted to express her opinion. "It's not a story between people. The protagonist is a lion, and one is called a lion. …Simba’s Lion!"

"Animation?" After Natalie asked, she suddenly lost interest.

"Like Mickey Mouse... um... Do you have an animation like Donald Duck?" Tyler interjected.

"Correct."

Ryan nodded, and after thinking about it, ran into the room and got the easel.
