Chapter 218： curse

"Wow, the cover character of Fortune, Ryan, you are really amazing."

Natalie was sitting in the co-pilot of the Land Rover, staring at Ryan, who was attentively driving, with a strange look.

"Come on, Nat, do you have to use this tone?" Ryan glanced at her, then quickly turned his head back.

Different from the last time we met, Natalie's appearance is completely opened, and she has a faint demeanor that belongs to her. The idol of the past life and the friend of the present life have almost become the same person.

"Why not?" Natalie finally turned her gaze back.

After all, they hadn't seen each other for more than half a year, and neither of them had any thoughts of quarreling. Natalie came to Los Angeles yesterday. In addition to attending an event notice, she also signed a new agent contract with Pai Kingsley.

"Nate, you don't have to be afraid of him, as long as we are united, we will be able to defeat the bad guy Ryan!" A childish girl's voice came from the back seat, "Right, Christine?"

"Me? It's none of my business." The short-haired girl was very smart and stayed out of the matter.

"Huh!" Then came Tyler's nasal voice, "Christine, you are so disappointing!"

Ryan and Natalie looked at each other and smiled. With the little guy in the back, it is impossible to be quiet. Since getting in the car, she has interrupted to show her existence from time to time, for fear that the first two people will ignore her.

Looking at the rearview mirror, the two little guys were still wearing seat belts, Ryan felt relieved, stepped on the accelerator, and increased the speed by a bit.

"Aren't you going to pick up Scarlett?" Natalie was a little confused.

"Well, they just moved." Ryan drove on the road to Laurel Valley in North Hollywood. "How long have you not seen her, Nat?"

"Since she moved to Los Angeles, we only used the phone and wrote letters." Natalie closed the window and closed her curly hair that was blown away by the wind. "Scarlett has grown up."

"You have grown up too, Nat!" Ryan sighed with profound emotion.

The car quickly stopped in front of a villa near Laurel Valley, and Ryan blew the car horn several times. Scarlett Johansson, wearing a green dress and half-length blond hair, ran out of the house.

"Hey, Scarlett, this way!" Natalie opened the door and jumped down.

"Nate, it's been a long time since I saw you." As we spoke, the two girls, one large and one small, hugged tightly.

Seeing the two girls hugging each other and affectionately, Ryan couldn't help scratching his head. The relationship between the two of them was so good that it far exceeded his imagination. Even in the previous life. These two people are barely friends. But not so intimate.

"Ladies, it's late."

Seeing that they did not stop, Ryan had to shout.

"Hi, Ryan." Scarlett walked to the front of the car. I greeted several people one after another, everyone in the car knew each other, "There is also Tyler and Christine."

"Hello, Scarlett." Christine beckoned her friendly.

"Humph~" The little head with blond curly hair turned to one side.

"Hey, Tyler, how are you polite?" Ryan turned her head and the little girl wrinkled her nose. "I don't want to ignore her."

"Get in the car first." Natalie opened the door and climbed into the co-pilot first.

"Why can't you sit back. Nat?" Tyler was speaking.

It was just that she had just finished speaking, Scarlett had already been seated in the back seat, probably because of the age difference of several years, she just curled her lips and said nothing.

"They... can't fight, right?"

Ryan glanced at the rearview mirror. When she reached Natalie's ear, the Long Island girl gave him a pair of white eyes, "Do you think everyone is as boring as you?"

"Then you pay more attention to the back."

After the order was over, Ryan started the car, and the car quickly drove into the intercontinental highway leading to Richmond.

"Where are you taking us?" Natalie looked back at the back of the car and found George's car crashing not far away. She felt relieved. Obviously, she felt that Mr. Bodyguard was more reliable than the guy next to her. Spectrum.

"It should be Pixar?" Scarlett leaned on the front seat, guessing.

"Bingo!" Ryan snapped his fingers. "Don't you want to see where "Toy Story" was born?"

"Of course." The two youngest children shouted in unison.

"Should you have other purposes?" Among these people, the one who knew Ryan best was Natalie.

"My dear, I'm just taking you to visit Pixar..." Before Ryan finished speaking, Natalie laughed. "By the way, help me, right, Ryan?"

"But how can we help?" the two little girls questioned.

"Oh, I heard my mother say that Pixar has just built a new restaurant and playground. It is said that the pastries there taste very good." Ryan could see the green light in Christine's eyes in the rearview mirror.

"Come on, Christine, you will become a little fat girl like Scarlett if you eat it again." Taylor showed an instructive expression, but didn't know that this had offended another girl.

But any girl who loves beauty will never like others to call herself a chubby girl. Scarlett is no exception, and immediately sneered, "Miss Taylor Swift, where do you see that I am fat? Even if I am a little fat, I am Prettier than a girl who doesn't even have front teeth!"

"My teeth will grow out soon."

"That's also a pair of rabbit teeth!"

"You are the one, you will grow short and fat in the future!"

"You will become a six-foot-tall pole, and an airport!"

"Can you be quiet for a while?" Natalie had to turn around and persuade.

It's a pity that the two girls were obviously angry in the fight, and they kept chatting like two cockfighting. Fortunately, the two of them were still a little measured and didn't have a hands-on posture.

"Taylor, Scarlett, don't quarrel, okay?" Christine persuaded weakly.

"Shut up, Christine, otherwise you will become a tomboy!"

Is this a curse? Ryan couldn't help listening to these seemingly outrageous, but actually a little reliable words.

"Shut up! Tyler, apologize to Scarlett, and Scarlett don't say any more!"

"I... I don't want it!"

"Alison, I think you should ride in a car with George." Ryan showed her attitude when teaching her music.

"I... well, I'm sorry, Scarlett Johansson."

With a slight sigh, Ryan was rather helpless since he came to Los Angeles. This little guy can be said to have grown up in thousands of favors, and a family far richer than his previous life. Nicole Kidman, who treats her as his own sister, also favors her because of the face of him and Nicole. Add other big shots.

Is this princess disease?

Fortunately, as she grows older, she can still hold her face down, but she doesn't know what will happen when she grows up.

"Wow, is this Pixar?"

Just as the car stopped, several little guys looked not far away at the same time, which was the office area that Pixar had just rebuilt.

After listing and financing. Pixar has sufficient development funds. Not only bought new equipment. I also bought several nearby buildings to rebuild the office area more freely and lively. In addition, a restaurant full of childishness and imagination was added.

"It's so beautiful. Is this the lamp? Ryan. Can you put one at home for me?"

Everyone stood in front of the office area, facing the iconic Pixar lamp, and Taylor obviously took a fancy to it.

"Okay, dear, when you leave, each of you can bring a smaller one home."

Ryan didn't bring them to robbery here. Choosing some children of different ages to watch the latest animated clip was a suggestion from several senior Pixar leaders.

In the new screening room, people including Ryan. They all sat quietly on their chairs and watched the scenes on the screen intently. Even if there was no soundtrack, even the dubbing of more than a dozen insect characters was temporarily added, but these lively insects. From the moment it appeared on the screen, it attracted the attention of all the little guys.

"This is an ant..." the youngest Christine couldn't help but yelled.

"Shhh!"

Under Ryan's raised fingers, she quickly calmed down, staring at the ant fighting the grasshopper without blinking.

That's right! Pixar management recruited Ryan and others to watch a clip of the trial-produced "Bug Agent Team".

After the great success of "Toy Story", many people suggested that the production of the sequel should be started immediately, but John Lasseter had other ideas. He got inspiration from "Aes and the Grasshopper" in "Aesop Prophecy". , Found someone to adapt the current script, and led the team to produce a short clip.

The clip soon came to an end, and at the moment the picture disappeared on the screen, several little guys—and the children of some Pixar employees—were yelling.

"Why not?"

"I want to keep watching?"

"Those bugs seem to be ants and grasshoppers, so funny..."

"Children, this is just a trial segment. If you want to see the movie, you have to wait a few years." Ed Kamel stood up, "Do you think it looks good?"

"looks great!"

"Um... as interesting as Toy Story."

"Uncle Ed, when can I see the full movie."

Although the sound was a little messy, more than a dozen children were all dissatisfied, and a few were clamoring to play it again.

"Ryan, what's your opinion?" Ed Camel and John Lasseter calmed down the children and came to the three oldest people. After all, Pixar is not making a young animation It's a movie for all ages.

"It's funny." Natalie's opinion on animated films can be ignored.

"Not as kind as "Toy Story", but these bugs are very cute, not as creepy as in life." Scarlett Johansson nodded and said.

"What about you, Ryan?"

"Ed, and John, I want to ask about your specific plans next." Ryan didn't answer, but instead asked a question.

"We plan to make "Insect Agents" first, and then start "Toy Story 2" after the more tedious work of character stereotypes is finished." It is Ed Kamel who is speaking.

"What about the funds?" Ryan asked again.

"Our budget is sufficient to support the completion of these two plans."

"Okay." Ryan nodded, "I have no other opinion, but I hope that the next work will still be a boutique like "Toy Story".
