Chapter 116： Portman

At the beginning of the Hua Deng, Ryan and several people walked into an Italian restaurant, which is well-known in Brooklyn and is known for its authentic Italian meals, but there are not many types of food for Natalie and Mrs. Shelly. , Strict vegetarians or something is the most troublesome.

Speaking of it, Natalie broke the ring a long time ago under the bewitching of Ryan, but it was only when the two were alone, in front of her mother, she was still a good girl, even though she had already shown signs of rebellion.

Jinsli and Mrs. Shelly sat together, constantly exchanging views on Natalie's future development, while Ryan and Natalie got together and whispered in a low voice.

"What, do you want to change your name?" Ryan was slightly surprised.

"Yeah, I don't want to be like you." Natalie said with her lips curled.

"Like me? What's wrong with me?" He is really a little strange now, it seems that he has become a negative textbook again.

"Don't you complain to me often? In school, classmates always look at you with strange eyes, and reporters are surrounded by the school door all day long." Natalie said all things Ryan often wrote in letters. "Also There are too many letters sent by fans, and there is no time to read and reply."

"Reporters and the like, just get used to it, but it is really troublesome for fans to write letters or something." Ryan scratched his head a little.

Ryan’s school is not a secret, and often hundreds of letters are received every week. These letters cannot be thrown randomly, and George is often required to carry a bag to pack.

Choose a part of them to reply, that is the work that must be done. Although most of the replies are handed over to the team behind the scenes, no matter how you handle them, you must be careful.

He complained to Natalie more than once in the letter about these things. Of course, it was a ruthless blow in return.

"So, I decided to give myself a stage name... well, try to be as less harassed as possible before you are a child." Natalie put down the fork in her hand, tapped the table lightly, and said in a low voice, "Portman, Nata Li Portman, what do you think, Ryan?"

Natalie Portman? What do i think? Does this need to be said? Ryan rolled his eyes, "Not bad, is this your grandmother's last name?"

"Yes, I remember telling you before that she participated in World War II and passed on intelligence to the Allied forces."

"A heroine." Ryan nodded. Natalie is not ordinary smart. She knows how to use every advantage of her own. She and she are really the same person. "Why didn't I think of changing my name in the first place?" "

"Want to know the reason?" Natalie's chin curled up.

"of course."

"Because you are a fool, the number one fool in the world!"

Seeing Ryan's face turned dark, Natalie laughed happily, and hitting him was her greatest pleasure.

Despite the name of this restaurant, there are not many people who dine. Not far from Ryan’s table, a man and a woman are sitting at the table and talking about something.

"Liv, so you are hopeful that you will win this role?"

"Huh huh~" The girl has a long face and black hair. It is Liv Taylor. "When I left the audition room, I could tell that the director was very satisfied with me."

has lived in the complex and chaotic rock circle and model circle since she was a child. To her, observing her words is just a trivial matter.

"That's great."

The agent showed a bit of excitement. Ryan Jenkins's work has never failed. As long as Liv can become popular, it means that his income will also rise sharply. Maybe he can still be like Pie Jinsli. Take advantage of this opportunity to become a top broker.

"Isn’t Ryan Jenkins also in the audition room? He didn’t say anything?" The agent knows very well that the other party is the creator of Matilda, who has a certain status in Hollywood and should have a great deal of this role. say.

"Ryan..."

Liv Tyler raised his head, and happened to see another table in front of him. The person sitting opposite her was not Ryan Jenkins?

He is joking with a girl, why is that girl so familiar?

After a little recollection, she remembered, isn’t this the last girl to audition? She also greeted her, as if she was called Natalie...

How could she be with Ryan Jenkins, looking at the appearance of the jokes, she will definitely not be a new acquaintance, nor can she be an ordinary acquaintance, no matter how she looks like a very good friend!

As soon as the audition was over, they got together, and they were so happy. Could it be that they were celebrating...

Liv Taylor is also not a simple girl. Although she is an illegitimate daughter, her parents are celebrities in the entertainment circle. She has been dealing with this circle since she was a child. As her mother participates in various parties, she is used to seeing the glamorous behind. The dark side.

Drugs, alcoholism, binge, trading, homosexuality, etc., she doesn't know how many she has seen. She knows that behind seemingly fair auditions, there can never be fairness. She also knows that being familiar with or not being born is one of Hollywood's unwritten rules.

In a short moment, the smile on her face disappeared without a trace, and she understood that the character that was within reach was getting farther and farther away from her.

Ryan and Natalie are naturally unaware of what happened today and will cause some trouble in the future.

"I've seen Luc Besson's film, but I haven't seen him shoot it on the spot. I don't know what style of director he is." Ryan and Natalie talked softly, the topic naturally centered on "Killer Leon ", "However, Nat, don't worry, the French fat man can't beat James Cameron even if he is strict."

"Oh~" Natalie said after wiping her mouth with a napkin after eating a piece of vegan pizza, "I've seen Jean Renault, what about Gary Oldman?"

Gary Oldman also came from Ryan's recommendation, Luc Besson, after talking with him once, decided to let this evil guy play the policeman Stan.

"It's rumored to be a very funny person." Ryan shrugged.

"Killer Leon" has just begun preparations, and it is too early to start. Although there are not many big scenes in the movie, many shots need to be closed. This is New York. We must communicate with the city hall in advance. This is the work alone. , It will consume a lot of time.

As for Natalie, after watching her audition, she has nothing to worry about in acting. The only problem is that she is a lot thinner than when she starred in this movie in her previous life.

Especially, Matilda in the previous life has already bulged two small bags on her chest, but now Natalie is a real airport.

Age is not a big issue. Even if Natalie is fifteen, it will still cause controversy.

However, Jin Shi Ruien became the creator of the script. With his current fame, even if there is a sky full of gunfire and sewage, most of them will come at him.

Correspondingly, Natalie will no longer be under such pressure as she did in her previous life.

In the previous life, "Killer Leon" was hailed as a classic, but it was not a success in North America-word-of-mouth and box office were not good-since the day it was released, it has been bombarded by mainstream media, especially Natalie While gaining praise for her acting skills, she was accompanied by tremendous pressure, and even many media continued to discredit her.

Among those who support her, most of them are middle-aged men. Many of the letters sent to her are also strange language.

If it weren't for her cleverness and precociousness, and her aspirations and strong enough, under this kind of double-hearted treatment, she might become another **** girl.

Even so, it still had a huge impact on her in the future. For example, as an adult, she once publicly stated that she did not like the role of Matilda.

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

"Tomorrow, I can't take a long time off, otherwise, Nicole should be upset again." Ryan sighed. The impact of the Polish incident is huge, and Nicole Kidman's control is much stricter than before. "You know, I was banned by Nicole last month..."

Things in New York are coming to an end. After returning to Los Angeles, whether at home or at school, Ryan has restrained a lot. God only knows what happened to Nicole, and his requirements have been much stricter.

Of course, Ryan will not understand that this is a side effect of a conversation with Harvey Weinstein during the Oscar party.

This is also good can let him put all his energy into the script creation of "Scream", besides, there is no other plan during this period, so he can take time to make "Harry" "Porter and the Order of the Phoenix" was written.

In fact, there are still many crews who have invited him, but most of them are small supporting roles. They don't have much value in acting, and they will not help him much in the future.

His body has been undergoing rapid development, and his height has begun to approach adults infinitely, but his face is still an immature teenager.

Generally late child stars will encounter the most embarrassing period after the age of thirteen or four. Ryan has ushered in this stage early, even if he has been a human for two lifetimes, he can’t find the memory after searching his mind. A very suitable role can only be so for the time being.

Maybe I can create a story? Tailor a character for yourself? This thought would pop out from time to time, and Ryan was also a little moved.

After so many years of plagiarism and plagiarism, I have gained some experience. What's more, he has more than 20 years of film experience than the current person. It is normal to have this idea.

However, it is not the time yet. His signboard in Hollywood has just been erected. If it gets messed up, it will definitely have an impact on the future.

Speaking of it, I am still better in music than in movies. I can create original songs and my level is not bad. I really don’t know what to say.

You should know that the song "Climb" stayed at the top of the bulletin board for 11 weeks before giving up the title. Although it did not break the championship record of "I Will Always Love You" for 13 consecutive weeks, it has gained countless results. Praise.
